Yuan Zanbi didn't answer for a moment.

Qiao Yu didn't rush him, and waited quietly for him to speak.

After a while, Yuan Zanbi opened his mouth, and Qiao Yu said, "Compiled? Do you need the truth to block your eyes?"

Yuan Zan paused, "Thank you, Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu actually raised his hand to cover his eyes, the eyelashes of the Yuanzan pen trembled, and gently scraped against Qiao Yu's palm.

Qiao Yu froze for a moment, raised her hand, and vainly covered Yuan Zanbi's eyes.

"I was thinking, if I hadn't spoken at that time, Fang Zhuo would lose all the face of the aristocratic family."

It was this sentence.

Qiao Yu said: "Indeed, it makes sense." His tone was calm, but not as brisk as in the past. The next moment, Qiao Yu changed the subject, "Whether you say it or not, the face of the family will be completely lost. Why did you choose the What did you say then?"

Yuan Zan pen blinked.

It's a good thing that Qiao Yu didn't notice his little trick, otherwise he might tell him endless lies.

"If I say that I don't want to see a scholar being humiliated, will Prime Minister Qiao be satisfied?"

"What do scholars have to do with Master Yuan?"

Yuan Zan wrote: "I love talent."

Qiao Yu smiled, very eccentric.

He took his hand away abruptly, and the light shone into Yuan Zanbi's eyes unexpectedly, he blinked quickly and turned his head.

Qiao Yu gave him a strange look, but didn't say anything.

Yuan Zanbi was happy and quiet, so naturally he would not provoke him again, and he didn't know what shocking things were thinking in Qiao Yu's head.

Qiao Yu fiddled with his sleeve, thinking: Yuan Zanbi is lying when he says he loves, he is lying, why is he lying, what exactly is he trying to say?

Qiao Yu stared intently at the Yuanzan pen, from his eyes to his chest, he stopped at his chest.

It would be nice to dig it out.

See what he's thinking.

Yuan Zanbi didn't know what a miserable end he had come to in Qiao Yu's mind, but felt a chill behind his back, thinking it was the wind blowing in from the window.

……

The examination regulations and candidates for the crown prince and fifth prince were determined very quickly, and the list was submitted quickly, and they were implemented one by one after approval.

Exam preparation seemed to proceed fairly and methodically.

The chief examiner, Huo Sibai, has also gone through thousands of selections. He is always upright and does not participate in party struggles. He only likes to write and draw in his spare time, and has a peaceful temperament.

Such a person as the chief examiner undoubtedly made the scholars all over the world breathe a sigh of relief.

It was Huo Sibai's first time as an examiner, and he tried his best to be rigorous in everything, never seeing any visitors, for fear of affecting his decision-making.

But today there was a person he couldn't see--a student of the Shaolingfang family.

When Huo Sibai was down and out, he had been a cleaner of Fang Hechi for a period of time, but very few people knew about it. If someone from the Fang family hadn't come to look for him, even he himself would have forgotten that there was still a period of time.

Huo Sibai couldn't figure out why the Fang family sent someone to look for him, and said, "Mr. Hechi is alright?"

Fang Hechi has been home for many years, and he only served as an official for a while when he was young, so Huo Sibai called him Mr. Fang Hechi.

The disciple said: "Mr. Hechi is fine," he paused, "There is only one thing, which makes you worry."

Hearing this, Huo Sibai already understood most of the time, Fang Hechi would not come sooner or later, but at this time he sent someone, definitely not to find him to reminisce about the past, it must be related to this exam.

Huo Sibai said: "Even Mr. Hechi has something to worry about. It can be seen that nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, even Mr. Hechi is not immune."

Seeing that Huo Sibai didn't follow his words, the disciple deliberately sighed and said, "Sir, he has long turned his back on things outside of him, but this time it is not only related to Mr. Hechi, but to the face of the entire Shaolingfang family. , the old man has not cared about the world for many years, and today he is forced to do nothing, who doesn't have a few descendants who love to make trouble?"

Huo Sibai nodded and said: "It's indeed a big deal, but unfortunately I'm so soft-spoken, I can't help Mr. Hechi, I'm really ashamed."

He went around, but he didn't take the initiative to ask what the matter was about. He obviously knew the purpose of the visitor clearly.

The disciple said: "Your Excellency is humble. Who doesn't know that Your Excellency is the chief examiner appointed by His Royal Highness, who holds the future of each family's children in his hands. Why does Your Excellency say that you are soft-spoken?"

Huo Sibai shook his head and said: "It is all because of His Majesty's trust that I am what I am today, and I dare not rely on it."

The disciple secretly scolded Huo Sibai for being so slick like a loach, no matter what others said, he always had the same attitude, making it impossible to speak.

The disciple said coldly: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Hechi would have a day when he was wrong."

Huo Sibai said: "Sir is also a human being, of course human beings sometimes miss him."

The disciple said: "Back then, Mr. thought that my lord is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, but I didn't expect it to be nothing more than that. My lord's nephew made a bet with others. If he lost, the Fang family's reputation would be ruined. My lord received the favor of the Fang family, and he didn't want to reciprocate but concealed it. It's really chilling to hide and hide."

When he opened his mouth, Huo Sibai said sternly: "If it's a private matter entrusted to me, even if it makes me lose my mind, I have no complaints. It's just that Lord Hechi wants me to act unfairly for the sake of his family's face. The ones who suffer are the scholars of the world. Forgive me. Obedience!"

Huo Sibai's attitude was tough, and there was no room for turning back. The disciple was also angry, and said: "Aren't you afraid that the fact that you were Mr. Hechi's disciple back then will be widely announced? When that day comes, the crown prince will still ask Mr. Hechi to be the chief examiner?"

"That's my private business," Huo Sibai said coldly: "It's already so late, come and see off the guests."

The disciples were almost carried out and sent outside.

Ever since he became a student of the Fang family, how could he not have favored him? When did he suffer such grievances?

The disciple spat and stepped into the car.

The carriage was much more crowded than usual, perhaps because there were a few more people.

The disciple sat stiffly in the car, with a bright knife resting on his neck.

The carriage drove and slowly left the gate of Huo Mansion.

"What did you say to Master Huo Sibai?" A man with the appearance of a scribe asked with a smile.

The disciple gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing."

The scribe sighed and said, "Okay." His tone suddenly became sharp, "Kill him."

……

The crown prince and the fifth prince did their best this time, and everything was done properly.

Today is the first day of the exam, the emperor is in a good mood, and his tone is naturally good. He said with a smile to the prince: "I may not be able to use these young people. Since the prince chose them, let the prince keep them for future use." The hint has almost become explicit.

The prince bowed down and said: "It is the blessing of my son to share the worries of your majesty. Besides, there are five younger brothers and several other adults to help, and my son dare not take credit."

The emperor laughed, "Get up, get up."

This exam may not be fair, but it must be much fairer than before.

Qiao Yu suddenly said, "This is the first time I have been awarded an official in the Great Wei Dynasty."

The emperor said, "What does Xiang Xiang want to say?"

Qiao Yu smiled and said: "I just want to say that I haven't seen what it is like to be awarded an official after an examination. Since there is one today, please allow your majesty to go and see it."

The emperor said: "It's strange, you can go if you want, what kind of permission do you want from me? Could it be that if I can't tell you, you really won't go?"

Qiao Yu was still smiling, like a junior who dotes on his elders, "The examination and appointment of an official is very unusual. I dare not go there on my own. I need His Majesty's consent. If Your Majesty allows me, I will go quietly." , come back quietly."

He spoke like this, causing several old officials to frown.

Yuan Zanbi looked at Qiao Yu thoughtfully.

Naturally, it wasn't because he thought Qiao Yu's behavior was frivolous, but because he thought it was abnormal.

Why does Qiao Yu have to go to the examination room?

Or did he want the emperor to go?

The emperor said: "I'm sure." He paused, looked at the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court, and said: "You probably haven't seen each other, why don't you go together."

Xie Jujin said: "Your Majesty, the examination room is quiet, with so many people going together, it might be noisy."

The emperor was a little disappointed and said: "I said I would go quietly without disturbing others. If Xie Qing doesn't want to go together, then I won't go."

It wasn't a day or two that the emperor had a whimsical idea. When he said he was going, he actually took a bunch of courtiers to the examination room in Lan Yuan.

The examination room was really quiet, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, and his expression towards the prince was much gentler than usual.

Qiao Yu whispered to Yuan Zan's pen, "Look, Gu Qingzhou."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Qingzhou who was still answering the paper seriously just now stood up suddenly and rushed out.

Everyone turned pale with shock, and shouted repeatedly: "Protect, protect!" Yuan Zanbi glanced at Qiao Yu, grabbed Gu Qingzhou's wrist, folded it back, and threw him to the ground.

He stood forward and was dressed in a civil official's uniform. If he hadn't captured Gu Qingzhou so neatly this time, many people would have forgotten that he was actually a military officer.

Yuan Zanbi frowned.

That's why Qiao Yufei wanted to come?

Someone replaced Yuan Zanbi's position, and he stood beside the emperor again.

Gu Qingzhou was escorted to kneel on the ground, but looked up at the emperor.

Huo Sibai rushed over when he heard the voice, and saw the student whom Zhang Jijiu favored was kneeling on the ground, surrounded by guards.

His heart tightened: Could it be that someone wants to assassinate His Majesty through the exam?

"Your Majesty, student Gu Qingzhou, I have something to report." He said word by word: "The students want to report that the exam is unfair, and the examiner is in collusion with the family."
