At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

A smiling voice came from outside the door.

Chen Qiu came on the moon, carrying a food box in his hand.

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, "I've met Mr. Chen!"

"No need to be polite."

Chen Qiu raised his hand and walked towards Xie Yuheng.

"By His Majesty's order, I will give you some food." Chen Qiu blinked.

Xie Yuheng took it and opened it to take a look.

Inside are steaming lotus cakes.

You can tell by the smell that it was made by my grandmother.

Jianglinghou Mansion is located in the southwest of the imperial city, while Gongyuan is in the northeast corner of the imperial city.

Along the way, you have to work hard to deliver the lotus flowers while they are still hot.

"Thank you Uncle Chen."

The young man's voice was filled with sincere gratitude.

Instead, Chen Qiu felt a little embarrassed and glanced at the other people who were eavesdropping.

Chen Qiu casually dragged a chair over and sat next to Xie Yuheng.

He cleared his throat and said, "Some clues have been found about this matter."

"Don't be afraid. Your Majesty is the Lord of Holy Wisdom and will not do anything like killing a donkey."

Chen Qiu reached out and touched the young man's head.

It feels good, give it another try.

Xie Yuheng: "..."

That's the bad thing about being small.

Ruthlessly patting off Chen Qiu's dog claws, Xie Yuheng looked at the bright moon outside the window.

"I trust your Majesty. Your Majesty is the best monarch I have ever seen."

The young man's eyes were filled with brilliance and his tone was sincere.

It's not like playing tricks on the spot, pretending to be false or submissive.

Dai Ji and others' hearts trembled slightly.

Everyone said that Xie Yuheng was smart and loved by His Majesty.

Perhaps what wins the Sacred Heart more is this childish feeling.

Seeing the hall, there was suddenly silence.

Xie Yuheng looked back in confusion and saw everyone looking at her with admiration.

It's just a compliment by the way, these people are secretly thinking about something...

Besides, if Chu Heng really had murderous intentions towards her, he would be ready to kill her.

She can immediately make Suzaku hold a bomb in his mouth and act as a bomber.

Attacked the palace city at night and blew it into ruins.

If the king is benevolent, then the ministers will be respectful.

It's one thing to believe that Chu Heng is a wise king, it's another thing to really trust him with his life.

Chen Qiu sighed with emotion and turned it into a sentence: "Good boy."

He patted the young man on the shoulder, returned to the palace, and told Chu Heng about the matter.

Chu Heng felt a strange emotion filling his chest.

After a long silence, he clapped his hands and said, "Chen Qiu, what do you think I will accept as my adopted son?"

"Look, when I conquered the world, I passed through so many cities and met other prodigies."

"This little guy is the smartest and most prosperous to me!"

Chen Qiu: "..." These words seemed familiar.

King Rui seems to have said that too.

His Majesty and King Rui are indeed brothers!

"I don't think so."

"There are rumors outside that Marquis Jiangling is your illegitimate son."

"If he is considered an adopted son, I'm afraid the rumors will be even worse."

"I'm afraid it won't be conducive for Marquis Jiangling to get a wife in the future."

Chu Heng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, sighing regretfully.

"There are only a few days until the test, so we should finish it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

......

February twenty-fifth.

There are still five days until the exam starts.

There are still seven days before the Korean mission leaves Beijing.

In Chongren Square, when the cock crows, the sky becomes bright.

People leaving the workshop gathered at the entrance of the workshop, waiting for the drum to sound and the door to be opened.

While waiting, it was inevitable to chat a few words.

Among them, the issue of "The Marquis of Jiangling's Vengeance" is the most talked about.

"If this is true, what will we poor people do in the future?"

"My family had to scrape together enough money for me to go to Beijing to take the exam."

"I borrowed usury money from many relatives. If I don't pass the exam..."

Usury money, interest compounded.

His breathing suddenly became heavier, he was gasping for breath, and he didn't dare to think about it further.

Someone next to him echoed: "Yes, Jinke Jinshi will be sent down for another two years."

"We are not the ones who can afford to hire a master. Alas, it is difficult!"

For a time, the crowd was angry.

Just when someone was instigating to make trouble in the imperial city, the gate of the square opened.

The two groups of soldiers wearing armor and riding tall horses were facing each other, which made people feel chilled when they saw them.

Chen Qiuyang made a gesture with his hand, and the soldiers took the portrait and immediately entered the square to arrest the person.

Among them was Shicai, who said he borrowed the money he borrowed when he went to Beijing to take the exam.

A sneer appeared on Chen Qiu's lips, and he used the riding crop to pat his pale face.

Then he raised his voice and shouted: "As a civil servant, you can participate in the election of officials in the local city."

"Although I am not a high-ranking official with a generous salary, I can still feed and feed the whole family."

"Even if you dislike the low official position, you can still enter a college."

"I have been a teacher for a year or two. How did I end up borrowing money to take exams?"

The child was trembling, and he stammered: "My, my grandmother is very old, very old."

"I want to take the Jinshi exam before she dies to show to the elderly."

"Oh?"

Chen Qiu smiled instead of being angry, took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuck it on his face.

"Chongrenfang is close to the Imperial City, but the housing prices are also very high."

"There are guild halls in Kyoto all over the country. If your family is poor, you won't choose a guild hall, and you won't choose to live far away."

"But I chose Chongrenfang, renting an inn that costs 500 yuan a day, and occasionally I can go to Pingkangfang to drink flower wine."

"Seriously, you have a great heart of filial piety!"

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and a man standing next to him exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my god, five hundred coins a day in an inn."

"You can't live here for more than two taels of silver for a month."

"I rented a Datong shop with my classmates...it only cost 500 cash a month."

There are many literati in Chongrenfang, so it is more convenient to obtain information than in the guild hall.

It's also close to the Imperial City, so there's no need to be in such a hurry on the day of reference.

But a poor family has its own faults.

I have never seen a fool who is so poor.

I also want to sleep in Room No. 1, drink wine and sleep with my beautiful lady.

Unless you get paid to do things, stir up trouble, and have other income!

The candidates wanted to understand the reason and took several steps back.

I am deeply afraid that if I get involved too much, I will be regarded as an accomplice.

Seeing that the disciples were aware of their interests, Chen Qiu didn't make things difficult for them.

According to the results of recent investigations by the Wude Division, several more people have been arrested.

After someone posted a notice beside the square, they rushed to the next place.

"...the examination questions are all written by the cabinet bachelors."

"The test papers will not be sent to Gongyuan until the day before the exam starts..."

The same notices are posted in every corner and important street in the city.

But there are still people who say that everyone is drunk and I am sober.

"Yang Shangshu and Si Shangshu even became friends."

"It's not impossible to reveal something!"

Only this time, no one agreed.

On the contrary, someone quietly found the patrol officer and reported it directly.

Comes with a free prison meal produced by Jingzhaofu.

There is no need to participate in the examination, and you are already far ahead of other candidates and can eat national food first!

At this point, I can no longer tell the difference between good and evil.

It is also a waste of time for me to be a scholar. I have read the books of sages for so many years in vain.

Suddenly, the trend changed.
