The imperial examination was implemented when the first emperor was in power, and was shelved for a period of time due to the opposition of the ministers. It was not until the current emperor was full-fledged that he began to implement it again.And this time it is no longer the same as before, only implemented in certain areas, but spread across the country, and began to be implemented on a large scale.

The subversion brought about by the imperial examination was huge. At the beginning, because of the emperor's iron and blood methods and most of the people who passed the imperial examination were only petty officials, even if they had ideas, they did not dare to show them in the open.At present, most of the officials in the court are from aristocratic families. If the emperor wanted to improve the status of the poor students, he would be poking a hornet's nest.

Although it has been expected, the emperor is still annoyed. The aristocratic families stand behind the princes. No matter what the future holds, they must be facing the aristocratic families now. Maxsun became the best candidate to promote this matter.

After the emperor announced the news, there was an uproar in the peaceful court, especially the several princes. They didn't regard Qi Mingxuan as a competitor at first, but after being recalled to the capital this time, the emperor's attitude towards him changed from before. There is some vague meaning of value.

That's right, the current Qi Mingxuan is no longer the weak little prince who had no power and power and could only stay in the cold palace in the past. When he was ignored by all of them, he grew into a cold-blooded god of war who frightened the enemy. May be at the mercy of others.

"I always thought that King Yu would be my biggest obstacle, but I didn't expect another one to pop up now!" The eldest prince kicked away the stool in front of him and said angrily, "Let's see what good ideas you all have in mind. , having King Yu is enough to cause headaches, now there is King Qin!"

"Your Highness, calm down," the man in Tsing Yi cupped his hands, "Why should Your Highness worry about King Qin? With what Concubine Mu Gui committed back then, she would not give the crown prince to King Qin today. Moreover, King Yu will suffer even more losses in this matter. We Wouldn't it be good to take a step back and let King Yu and King Qin fight."

"You're right," he took a deep breath to calm down his anger, "it's the king who made the picture, thanks for reminding me, sir."

So what if you become a god of war?With a concubine who made such a big mistake, Qi Mingxuan would never even try to get on top of him in his life. He would never allow this kind of situation!

Obviously he is the eldest son of the royal father, the crown prince should belong to him, shouldn't he?

"Your Highness just didn't turn the corner for a while, so I don't dare to take credit for it," the man in Tsing Yi said with a chuckle, "Next, what is Your Highness going to do?"

He Songwen is the eldest prince's confidant counselor, he is very important, and the first prince will talk to him about anything, such as this time.

"Since King Yu and King Qin are going to fight first, I should light them up. I remember, someone on King Yu's side tried to tamper with this imperial examination? I leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

He Song asked this person, he was very handsome on the surface, but in fact he had a ruthless heart. Since he was put under the command of the First Prince and was reused, he has already done a lot of things for the First Prince, and none of the people who were brought down by his tricks Do not end miserably.

In the past, he mostly dealt with officials of one party, but this time he was going to deal with two princes together, which made people feel excited.He Songwen had a secret smile on the corner of his mouth, and went to order people to do things in a good mood.

Returning to the palace with the imperial decree, the housekeeper greeted him and said something in a low voice, Qi Mingxuan paused slightly, turned around and walked towards the study.

"teacher."

There was an old man standing in the study with his back straight. When he heard the voice, the old man turned his head: "The old man came over suddenly, didn't he bother you?"

"What did the teacher say? I'm glad you can come before it's too late."

"It will make the old man happy. Did this year's test fall on your head?" The old man asked a question, but his heart was clear, and he frowned as he said, "This is not a good job. .”

After this imperial examination, a group of officials from poor families will inevitably be promoted to positions. There are only a few official positions in the court. The rise of the poor families will definitely affect the interests of the aristocratic family. Entrusting such an errand to Qi Mingxuan is forcing him to stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family.

It is said that the dynasty of flowing water, the family of iron, the family has a profound heritage, and they can fight against them with their own strength...

"I know, but this is also an opportunity." Qi Mingxuan's tone was flat, most of his influence was on the border, and the capital had very little infiltration. This imperial decree gave him a chance, a chance to leverage the power of the capital.

"That's right, your foundation in Beijing is not stable, and this decree came just in time." The old man stroked his white beard, and relaxed his frown. Opportunities are always accompanied by various crises. There is absolutely no reason to give up opportunities because of fear of crises. .I have overcome such difficult and dangerous situations before, but now this little crisis is nothing at all.

"But you still have to be careful. Years of preparation can't be ruined overnight." The old man changed the subject, "I heard that you are looking for someone recently?"

"Yes, find someone who is... kind to me." That is, he doesn't seem to remember the appearance of that person, only those clear and indifferent eyes.

The old man didn't ask any more questions, but told him worriedly: "Since you are a kind person, you can't treat him the way you treat soldiers."

He is good at everything as a student, but he has no friends of the same age, and he entered the military camp because he was still young, and he lives a life of licking blood every day, and he doesn't know how to get along with others normally.

"I know, teacher."

Li Shu didn't know that the hero had discussed with his teacher how to treat him. After checking his belongings again, he boarded the carriage parked in front of the prime minister's mansion.

It was cold in the spring, and Li Shu was wearing a thick cloak, standing out among the group of poor students, so that Qi Mingxuan, who was sitting on the second floor opposite, noticed him at a glance.

Qi Mingxuan stood up abruptly.

He remembered.

The moment he saw the young man, the memory of recuperating in Anguo Temple reappeared one by one as if the fog had been lifted.These days, he recalled repeatedly, but he still couldn't clearly recall the young man's face. That memory seemed to be shrouded in smoke, and he couldn't see it clearly. The people sent out couldn't find out the identity of the brother and sister.If it weren't for the fact that his old injuries were getting better day by day, he would have begun to doubt the authenticity of that memory in Anguo Temple.

So he is a candidate this year?

Feeling the gaze resting on him, Li Shu turned his head and looked at Yaoyao and Qi Mingxuan. Without waiting for him to do anything, Qi Mingxuan quickly looked away, and his figure disappeared from the window.

Li Shu withdrew his gaze, followed the flow of people, and asked the system: [Why is the male lead here? ]

He thought that at least he would not be able to see the male lead until after the exam.

[The male protagonist is responsible for the safety of this exam. ]

Because it has nothing to do with the emotional development of the hero and heroine, the plot given by the system has very little description of this imperial examination. He nodded when he heard the system's explanation, and didn't ask any more questions.

Three days passed quickly, and it rained heavily when leaving the examination room, the carriage of Xiangfu had already been waiting outside, seeing Li Shu coming out, Qing He trotted forward with an umbrella.

Li Shu's face was a little pale. The original owner's body was worse than he expected. The examination room was crude and cold in early spring. With a physical constitution, whether it can last three days is a problem.

"Young Master?" Seeing Li Shu with unhealthy lips, Qing He could not hide the worry in his eyes.

After taking the umbrella from Qing He, Li Shu showed a comforting smile: "I'm fine, let's go."

[Host, are you really okay? ] As a system, he can somewhat feel the state of the host, and he obviously feels that the current state of the host is very bad.

There was a heater in the car, and after sitting for a while, his frozen body gradually warmed up, and he moved his limbs. Li Shu leaned against the car wall, and lazily replied: "It's okay, it's just too cold just now."

This body has not been chilled for a day or two. It is said that it is a disease brought by the mother's womb. It can only be recuperated slowly. It is very difficult to cure.

In the system mall, you can buy the medicine for washing the tendons and cutting the marrow, but the medicine is simply sky-high for them now, so they can only endure the cold for a while.

Li Shu did not take part in the imperial examination with great fanfare as the son of the prime minister of the left. Most people in the examination room thought he was a child of a wealthy family, and no one thought about his true identity. Therefore, during the exam, the prime minister of the left, as always, did not reveal his identity. The slightest clue.

After returning home, Li Shumeng fell asleep under the quilt, and when he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Qinghe brought lunch to Li Shu's room, and after sleeping for so long, Li Shu was indeed hungry, so he drank a saliva and started eating directly.

Qing He retreated to the door, and was about to close the door, when she saw a figure walking this way, she suddenly stopped.

Go up to meet him and salute: "Master Xiang."

"Well," Zuo Xiang kept walking towards Li Shu's room, "Is your master awake?"

"Returning to Master Xiang, the Eldest Young Master is already awake and eating." Qing He wondered why Zuo Xiang would come to find Young Master at this time, but she is a maid, so such words must never be asked.

"Just wake up, but have you invited Dr. Lin to show Zishu?" Like every father who cares about his children, Li Cheng couldn't hide his worry in his tone.

"Doctor Lin came to see it, and prescribed a prescription to dispel the cold. He said that as long as the young master has a good rest, there will be no problem."

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at the door of the room, Qinghe pushed the door open: "Young Master, the Prime Minister is here."

Li Shu put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and saluted: "Father."

"You don't need to be too polite, sit down, do you feel unwell?" After walking to the side and sitting down, Li Cheng waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave, and he explained his purpose when there were only two people left in the room:

"During the test, did Zi Shu notice anything wrong?"

"Did something happen?" Li Shu thought back for a moment, and was sure that there was nothing abnormal around him, "There is nothing wrong."

Li Cheng didn't go around in circles: "This morning, Your Majesty was furious. Last night, the King of Qin found out that there was a large area of ​​cheating in this test, and reported it to His Majesty overnight. After a preliminary judgment, some examiners leaked the questions."

"How?!" Li Shu was surprised.
