Are you hungry for the throne?

"speak."

The new emperor's voice was deep and majestic.With his cry, the slightly chaotic scene below was instantly quieted down.The courtier who was kneeling on the ground got the permission of the new emperor, and said it out loud.

This person speaks sonorously and forcefully, only listening to the tone of voice, as if it really seems to be the same thing.

"Everyone who reads Zhang Ting knows how talented Zhang Ting is. The so-called reserved talent is all fake, and he is a fool at all! I can provide witnesses to prove that Zhang Ting is an incompetent person. Your Majesty, please look into it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers who were originally sloppy were shocked.Even Da Sima, who was standing in front, was a lot more serious.Of course, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.I just don't know whether he is mocking Zhang He or An Yuan.

This... the ministers looked at each other.

The meaning of this person is very clear, Zhang Ting has no ink in his stomach, and this second place was obtained by relying on Zhang Shangshu's face.

After hearing this sentence, some heirs in the family read with Zhang Ting, the lazy expression on his face disappeared, and he became more serious.At the same time, they couldn't help but think deeply:

He really didn't hear his children praise Zhang Ting how, how, but he always mentioned other people's names.And even Zhang Shangshu himself seems to seldom mention his grandchildren.

Not to mention the Great Moon Kingdom, there are several juniors in the capital who are famous for their talents, but Zhang Ting's name is not among them.

Then he also participated in the imperial examination...how come those famous talented scholars didn't earn the second place, but Zhang Ting, who usually doesn't have a sense of presence, got it?

I don't know if it's true or not, Chaotang was blown up when the words came out.Is it true or false?

There are those who maintain Zhang Shangshu.The members of the Zhang family have always been talented, there is nothing wrong with the younger generation being more restrained and humble.Why is it wrong now?

Is the imperial examination just for fun? I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I have seen real skills in the examination room.Is the grading just a joke, and you got the second place by being cheeky?Since it is based on face, why not directly win the champion?

As for Zhang Shangshu?If he directly recommended his grandson, wouldn't Zhang Ting's official position be higher?

There are also those who slander Zhang Shangshu.The Zhang family has talent, but it is not as good as one generation after another.When it came to Zhang Shangshu's grandchildren, there was no sound at all.How did this No. [-] come about? You should not bite him to death.

You can find out by checking everything. Didn't that person say that there is a witness?Don't you know when the successor certificate comes up?You are so angry!

In short, you say what you say, and the emperor hasn't said anything, but they are blushing and have thick necks, and they are about to fight.Wuwu Yangyang's uproar was more lively than usual when Zhang, Wang and others were present.

In such a scene, Da Sima lowered his eyes and did not respond.Apparently he didn't care about Zhang Shangshu's grandson or the second place in the list.

And An Yuan was watching the reaction of the people above with a smile.He wanted to see how Yuan Qi would deal with it.

Yuan Qi sat in a high position, watching the courtiers spitting all over the place with a blank face.He didn't say anything to stop him, just glanced at them, and those people gradually turned off.

why?No matter how high the anger is, it can't withstand the cold eyes of the new emperor!Some old ministers sighed in their hearts, fortunately the new emperor had not yet been on the battlefield.If he returns from the battlefield, no one will dare to look at him in the future?Prince Zhong No. [-], all right!

The noise finally stopped, and the court seemed to have regained its former solemnity.At this time, Yuan Qi, who was sitting in that position, spoke.

The reason why he didn't stop it was because he wanted to hear what the people below would say.Anger always makes people speak out of their minds.Watching these courtiers talk about face at the beginning, and then yelled out what was in their hearts.His purpose has been achieved.

Therefore, some people were also suspicious of Zhang Ting's second place.It's just that due to various reasons, I didn't say it.Some people are in their early days today, so they just said it.

The cold wind passed Yuan Qi's eyes, and the expressions of all the officials were under his control.Is An Yuan trying to provoke his relationship with Zhang He, or is there really something wrong with the second place?

Is it a witness?

Yuan Qi's eyes seemed to shoot out favorable arrows, and he was not at all swayed by the thoughts of the court master.

Why is there a need for witnesses?

With a cold face, the new emperor spoke under the eager eyes of everyone:

"Biography——Zhang Ting."

Wouldn't it be better to pass directly to the second place?And why did he follow An Yuan's thoughts?

When An Yuan heard the words of the new emperor, his smile subsided a little.Ah, it's really boring.In this way, the person he used to stir up the water would be useless.

The ministers looked at each other closely, not knowing what the new emperor was thinking.Why not pass on the witnesses, but pass on the second place directly?Could it be that the new emperor believed the man's words and wanted to punish Zhang Ting directly?

As a result, Zhang Shangshu's heart is going to be cold.The hearts of the ministers are also a little cool.

It took only half an hour, and Zhang Ting was brought up.At this time, he was wearing the court uniform of a seventh-rank official, and he looked a little shy, not as proud as he was when he was ranked second in the middle of the day.

However, ministers are still understandable.Zhang Ting had never been to court, and even Zhang Shangshu's grandson did not have the chance to get close to the emperor several times.Not to mention, all civil and military officials above the fifth rank are here.The coercion emanating from it was not something a scholar who had just won the second place in the list could bear.

Yuan Qi looked at Zhang Ting who was standing in the center, although the expression on his face didn't change much, but there was something weird in his heart.Not because of anything else, this Zhang Ting looks familiar.

Yuan Qi's cold eyes were slightly confused, looking at the shivering person kneeling on the ground.Where have you seen this person?Yuan Qi's eyes widened slightly as he remembered.

At the moment when Zhang Ting raised his head in a panic just now, he saw this person's face clearly.Zhang Ting was three points similar to Han Shan recommended by Zhang Shangshu yesterday.

The expression on Yuan Qi's face was not so pretty.There seemed to be cold stars shooting out of a pair of eyes, pointing directly at Zhang Ting.This is because Zhang He is not here, otherwise those who receive his gaze will become Zhang He.

So... Are Han Shan and Zhang He really just disciples?

The new emperor's handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, Zhang Ting, who was kneeling on the ground, was worse than Han Shan yesterday.The Zhang family... Has it really begun to decline?

"Zhang Ting."

The new emperor spoke, and his voice spread throughout the court.The others lowered their eyes and remained silent, but pricked up their ears.Zhang Ting, whose name was called, didn't dare to look up at all.Arched and trembling, the etiquette was a bit forced.

His appearance made Yuan Qi somewhat suspicious: Is he really, so scary?So why, An Yuan always stares at him?

Yuan Qi looked at An Yuan who seemed to be watching a good show, looked at the smile on the other side and thought, why does this person love to laugh so much?

"Little, little man is here."

Zhang Ting didn't even dare to call himself a "minister", yesterday his grandfather fell ill in bed, today His Majesty summoned him.Could it be that knowing that his second place in the ranking...is not right?

But, but that Han Shan said it!No one can find out, his second place is a matter of skill!

Thinking of Han Shan's words, Zhang Ting calmed down a lot.Even the dislike for Han Shan has lessened.At this moment, he can only trust Han Shan.

He didn't bribe the examiner, so what was he afraid of?

He wrote the test paper himself, so what is he afraid of!

The second place was earned by himself, so what is he afraid of!

"Did you personally write the answer sheet for the palace examination?"

Zhang Ting heard the cold voice from above his head, and the confidence he had just built collapsed a bit.But after hearing the content of the question, he regained his confidence.Because it was indeed written by him himself, Zhang Ting straightened his back slightly.

"Return to Your Majesty, the villain did it himself."

When Zhang Ting said this, his voice was much calmer, not as flustered as before.

The change in tone can't be hidden from the people in high positions.This person is telling the truth, and if you just listen to the lie, you can tell the truth.

Therefore, Yuan Qi looked at Zhang Ting even more coldly.Since you did it yourself, why did you hesitate just now?He knew that there was absolutely no possibility of missing any questions in this exam, because the questions were improvised by his father at that time.

So what's the problem?Yuan Qi lowered his eyes, it seemed that he would continue to ask.

"Do you still remember what you did that day?"

What did you do that day?After hearing this, Zhang Ting breathed a sigh of relief.He remembers this, more than just remembers it, he knows it by heart!

"The villain remembers! Remembers!"

After Yuan Qi heard this sentence, he turned his head to look at the servant Three Treasures next to him.Seeing the eyes of the new emperor, Eunuch Sanbao bowed and left.After a while, Sanbao walked back with a slightly red face.

What Eunuch Sanbao was holding in his hand seemed to be the examination paper of Zhang Ting's answer in the palace examination.Father-in-law Sanbao handed the examination paper to the new emperor, and then stepped back to the side to act as a transparent person.

Yuan Qi opened the examination paper, and the characters caught his eyes were square and black, a little thin, and the characters were like his own.But...it's okay to see.He scanned the contents slightly, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly.

Well written.

Yuan Qi raised his head with the examination paper in his hand, but the minister below quickly lowered his head because of his movement, to cover up his behavior of secretly looking at it just now.Yuan Qi opened his mouth:

"So, you can recite it and listen to it."

As soon as the new emperor said these words, the eyes of the people below were widened.What do you mean today?Who can carry this down?It's good to remember the general content of what I wrote...

Everyone quietly looked at the kneeling Zhang Ting, and silently lit a candle for Zhang Shangshu in their hearts.

And Zhang Ting heard His Majesty asked him to recite it, and he really recited it.From some stumbling at the beginning, it became smoother and smoother in the end.

Everyone was gradually attracted by the text of the examination paper, and nodded while stroking their beards.In their hearts, they had to give Zhang Shangshu a thumbs up.It was written by Shangshu's grandson, great!

Those who supported Zhang Shangshu heard this, and their toes were high.Those who slandered Zhang Shangshu listened, and slowly lowered their heads.But... the more I listen to this, the more weird I feel?

An Yuan looked at Zhang Ting, whose back was in a mess, and slowly narrowed his eyes.This pair of beautiful eyes was stained with a vicious look at this time, staring at Zhang Ting covetously.Zhang Ting, who was straight on his back, was stunned by stares... Choked by saliva.

An Yuan's red lips hooked: So, the problem is here.
