Neighboring school old enemy bows to me

A few days later, Jin Yiwei began to whisper another matter.Li Xiao, who was scolded and dismissed by the emperor because of the imperial examination case, unexpectedly wants to return to Jinyi Official School.

I haven't seen this person for a month or two, not to mention the Imperial College, even Jin Yiwei feels at ease.

But the emperor's order was to let him return to Jinyiwei, and no one could say anything.

These people also knew that it was not really the favor of the emperor to revive Li Xiao.

To put it bluntly, isn't it because Qiao's family dominates the Jinyiwei family and is on guard?

When Li Xiao came back, didn't he want the two to check and balance each other, so that neither could take advantage?

The upper ranks of Jin Yiwei are all the emperor's pawns, and the lower ranks like them are even more involuntary, so why bother to interfere.

On the other hand, He Zhiji called his younger brother to the study and spoke about it seriously.

"Your Majesty's restoration of Li's house at this time is because there is a need for someone in Jinyiwei to stand against Qiao Yue."

He paused and said again: "Your Majesty still doesn't trust the Qiao family. Although the Qiao family will not collapse, it is still walking on thin ice. You are in the Imperial College, so you don't need to have much contact with him."

He Zhiyang caught the tone of his elder brother's words, and snorted coldly: "Brother, you really see clearly. What you imply is that if Qiao Yue is the only one to win the favor, your younger brother should pounce on him and show his courtesy?"

He Zhiji frowned and said: "I never said such a thing, I just saw that you have been in frequent contact with him recently, and reminded you to be careful."

He Zhiyang raised his eyebrows, full of publicity and rebellion, and said coldly: "I remember I said that I don't want to act according to other people's faces and thoughts. I have the propriety to make friends, so don't bother you."

He Zhiji had been in court for many years, and he really wanted to teach his younger brother how to behave in the world, but He Zhiyang didn't like it, and every time he choked him, he would gnash his teeth.

He Zhiji breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a gentle tone: "The Qiao family is not as beautiful as it looks on the surface, I'm afraid you won't see the way in it, and foolishly treat him as a brother."

He saw his younger brother and Qiao Yue walking side by side after school from a distance several times. There was no one else, as long as the two of them were talking quietly, but he didn't think much about it. He only thought that the relationship between the two had improved, so he came to remind his younger brother.

He Zhiyang was amused in his heart, and snorted: "Don't worry, I won't treat him as a brother!"

Obviously a lover, where is the brother from.

His brother really worried too much this time.After Li Xiao returned, he was full of depression, and he was full of unspeakable resentment towards Qiao Yue.

Although it was obvious that he had ulterior motives and secretly committed evil in the imperial examination case, Qiao Yue just used his strength to fight back.

But in Li Xiao's eyes, Qiao Yue is a blatantly sinister villain.

If he was upright, how could he do something to frame his colleagues?

He even quietly invited the king into the urn, deliberately letting him show his feet in front of everyone, so that the emperor had to punish him.

I thought I could take advantage of the imperial examination case to rise to the top and frame the Qiao family, but I never thought that I was the one who was kept in the dark and played around by others.

Li Xiao tasted what it was like to fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, and thought that there would never be a day of recovery.

Unexpectedly, when the imperial decree came, he was asked to write a letter of apology and return to his post.

Although going to Jinyiwei now, he must face the cold eyes and ridicule of his colleagues, but Li Xiao took up the post without hesitation.

Qiao Yue had already been promoted to governor, and Jin Yiwei seemed to respect him. Li Xiao had a big case at that time, and the struggle between the two was well known.

When Li Xiao came to the door, there were already many people discussing behind him.

Every word and sentence went straight to Li Xiao's ears, but what can I do?Things have come to this, even if he wants to retreat, there is no way to retreat.

When Qiao Yue saw him, he didn't react much, he just glanced at him lightly, and walked past him indifferently like ice.

Seeing this, instead of being annoyed, Li Xiao went up to chat with Qiao Yue.

The more I hate him, the more respectful I am.

He didn't want to provoke Qiao Yue, Li Xiao knew clearly from that experience that if Qiao Yue couldn't kill him with one blow, he could only lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

These days, he was living at home with his tail between his legs, and now he found that the people in Jinyiwei were obedient to Qiao Yue, so naturally they would not touch stones with eggs.

But what puzzled Li Xiao was that Jin Yiwei's people who were familiar with him in the past only greeted him coldly.

He thought about it behind closed doors at home, but these people didn't think about it at all, and even became Qiao Yue's lackeys.

Seeing the two Jin Yiwei who were acquainted with each other talking and laughing, Li Xiao listened to a few words calmly, smiled and went over to ask: "What are you talking about? Did you go to the Imperial College yesterday?"

Seeing what Li Xiao heard, these people didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Yes, we went to the Imperial College together yesterday, of course to support the brothers, those old men from the Imperial College were scared to say anything when they saw us If you don’t say anything, close the book immediately and get out obediently.”

Li Xiao heard that the two schools didn't seem to be on good terms, and he was relieved: "Let me just say, the Imperial College and Jinyiwei have had a long-standing grudge, so how could they be close? You should intimidate those scholars who only know how to read scriptures more. Teach them a lesson!"

Who would have thought that Jin Yiwei looked confused: "What are you talking about? Qiao Zhenfu wants to go home with Brother Yang, but unfortunately the old man won't let him go. We went there to support the brothers of the Imperial College."

Li Xiao petrified in place.

Qiao Yue and He Zhiyang went home together?Guozijian is a good brother?To support them?

Li Xiao's pupils were shocked by these words: "Qiao Yue and He Zhiyang go home?"

Aren't the two of them always at odds?They haven't seen each other for a few days, and it's time to go home together?

Li Xiao was surprised: "The two of them are very friendly?"

That Jin Yiwei smiled and said: "Who knows what happened to these two people, but if Brother Yang is aggressive towards us, our governor will not only not be annoyed, but the corners of his mouth will be raised for a whole day."

If it was someone else, even if they kept breaking their arms and legs, they would still be beaten until they saw Jin Yiwei and walked around.

Hearing this, Li Xiao once again showed a gloomy expression, why did Qiao Yue become friends with He Zhiyang?

Didn't He Zhiyang insist on standing up and testifying against Qiao Yue in front of everyone back then?

With his reputation under his feet, the two of them started to develop friendship.

Li Xiao sneered.He knew what He Zhiyang was thinking, and he could also understand what Qiao Yue was planning.

To put it bluntly, isn't it just someone who is greedy for the name of the uncle's mansion, and someone who is greedy for the power of Jin Yiwei?

If the two of them joined forces to form a front, it would be even more detrimental to him.

Li Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, remembering the plot he had set up a few months ago to lure He Zhiyang into the brothel.

He Zhiyang is pure by nature, since he still can't defeat Qiao Yue for a while, it's not a bad idea to start with He Zhiyang.

The Great Ming Dynasty had always been extremely strict with the miniature documents, even He Zhiji had to wait several days before printing out a set of miniature documents according to He Zhiyang's intention.

He Zhiyang took it over happily, and quietly opened it to read. These words were all printed on three-inch paper, easy to carry and easy to paste. Ancient printing is relatively backward. worked hard.

He Zhiyang immediately thanked his brother.

He Zhiji said: "Miniature printing is strictly prohibited by the imperial court, that is, I am in charge of designing weapons in the Beijing camp, and I often have to miniaturize utensils of different shapes. Others only made a few copies for my sake, so don't spread the word."

Miniature printed documents are convenient to hide and carry. A small piece of inconspicuous piece of paper can quickly convey enough information, so it has always been tabooed by the emperor. Except for the relevant officials of the Six Ministries who can miniaturize the copy, only the Jingying has such power.

He Zhiyang's miniatures are all the records of the time with Qiao Yue, and he plans to paste some of these simple notes on the corresponding gifts, and some on the notebook he gave Qiao Yue. His face was blushing and his heart was beating, how could he show it to others.

He Zhiyang lowered his eyes, his cheeks were slightly flushed: "Brother, don't worry, no one dares to look at this thing too much."

Except for Qiao Yue, whoever gets beaten up.

He Zhiji nodded, casually reached out and took the document with the cover of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" printed on it, and made a gesture of flipping through it.

He Zhiyang, however, was like a cat that had been stabbed to death, and immediately ran to his brother, snatched the book and hid it behind him without hesitation: "My miniatures are all formulas, which are very boring."

He really didn't expect his brother to be so curious that he even wanted to see such a few boring formulas, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked off his brother's hand: "It's just a few formulas, haven't you learned enough in school?"

He Zhiyang's sensitive and vigilant appearance aroused He Zhiji's suspicion, he looked at his younger brother in surprise: "What's in it, why don't you show it to me?"

He had never seen his brother so cautious.

Moreover, He Zhiyang's appearance was obviously not just cautious.

He Zhiji looked at the suspicious blush on his younger brother's cheeks, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He Zhiyang hugged the clerk like a hen calling its cubs, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Of course not!

Inside is his and Qiao Yue's diary, if my brother really sees it, I'm afraid he can just pass by.

For the sake of his brother's physical and mental health, he must guard against death and be a good brother who loves his brother.

Seeing his younger brother guarding him like a thief, He Zhiji felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But he didn't think much about it, he just felt that his younger brother was young and shy, and he didn't want to let him read the homework, so he emphasized and said: "I only give you these things for the sake of your eagerness to learn, don't spread them outside, lest they They all come to me to ask for it.”

"The advantage of shrink-printed documents is that they are easy to carry. Don't waste your time on weekdays. When you have nothing to do, you can take them out to read your memories a few times, and use your mind on serious things..."

He Zhiyang's ears were gradually turning red. Even though this gift was his birthday present for Qiao Yuebei, he was too embarrassed to think too much about what he had written.

My brother asked him to read it several times and review it...

If my elder brother knew what he was shrinking, I'm afraid he would have to deal with him seriously.

He Zhiji looked at his debt collector who pretended to be well-behaved, shook his head and said nothing.

He Zhiyang didn't care what his brother thought, he trotted into the study room holding those miniature documents like a treasure.

There are still a few days to prepare for Qiao Yue's birthday. If you just write a diary, and paste a miniature lottery on the notebook, the time is not too tight, but He Zhiyang is very interested in preparing Qiao Yue's birthday gift for the first time. Gao, I wish I could think about this over and over again every day.

Thinking about the gift, He Zhiyang realized something was wrong.

He was obviously celebrating his wife's birthday, so why did he prepare such a troublesome and disgusting gift?

It's like a girl who is in love for the first time.

With a stern face, He Zhiyang fiercely picked up a miniature note that said the past of the two of them, and pasted it on the notebook with a snap.

He hates doing boring and trivial things the most!

"Master, I just think it's a novelty, I don't want to gossip about that kid Qiao Yue!"

While muttering to himself, He Zhiyang carefully wrote a few more sentences, until he was satisfied, then he closed the book contentedly.

He is in love for the first time, and he has no experience yet. How can he know what girls like to do and what husband-in-law will do.

In short, what he has planned in his heart, or what he has seen others have, he wants to realize it one by one on Qiao Yue.

While thinking happily in his heart, suddenly Ding Baotong came in with tea, and saw the pieces of paper on the table, he had already picked up one and looked at it carefully.

Just now when he saw the two words clearly, He Zhiyang had already snatched the note back: "Don't move."

"Isn't it just homework for study, what's not allowed to read." Baowu said with a smile: "I saw two words just now, it doesn't seem like my homework?"

He Zhiyang immediately put away the paper and made a gesture to chase people away.

Baotong walked out with a smile, inadvertently mentioned to someone: "Young master is very weird, there are a lot of pieces of paper in the study, I don't know what good things are, and they are very tightly covered, no one is allowed to see."

After another half a month, the Guozijian finally ushered in the entrance examination.

Because this exam is of a selection nature, and it is related to higher education and imperial examinations, it has become the most important exam for He Zhiyang and the others this year.

The sacrificial wine has to be lectured in the Imperial College every day, and the tension is no less than that of the imperial examination.

The students also talked a lot: "I heard that the imperial court has a new policy. Not only is cheating strictly prohibited in the imperial examinations, but the exams in the Imperial College are also very strict. Cheating is prohibited and strict defense is strictly prohibited."

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why the Imperial College suddenly cracked down on cheating was related to Qiao Yue's invigilation.

Knowing that many people want to take advantage of the loopholes, the court has issued repeated orders and issued strict orders many times.

The scholars of the Imperial College also naturally knew the pros and cons of the matter, and they were all very timid. Usually when it comes to exams, there are people who have secret codes, but this time, none of them have the courage to play tricks, and they only hope to get through this disaster in a safe and sound way. , don't talk about the grades you get, at least don't be accused of cheating and hurt your family.

The Imperial College is preparing for the exam with peace of mind, but there are already people in Jinyiwei secretly thinking about it, trying to take advantage of the exam's loopholes.

"I heard that the Guozijian will have a big exam, and the invigilator will be stricter than before."

"Ah, Li Xiao, what do you mean by that?" A famous Jin Yiwei looked around and said in a low voice, "You forgot what you did in the imperial examination before, do you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

"It was my mistake last time. I didn't know it at that time. I thought it was easy. I found a few people to identify Qiao Yue. Who knew that Qiao Yue could be so sensitive. He had already seen through my plot. I just waited I'm getting hooked!"

"I won't be so stupid this time. I've made inquiries a long time ago. He Zhiyang has a lot of miniature documents in his hand. I heard that they are all related to the school. Isn't that just homework? He has homework in his hand." What is he trying to do, or is it a miniature print, anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is trying to cheat, right?"

"This is not groundless, but real evidence. We can use this to accuse him of cheating." Li Xiao said viciously and viciously: "No matter what happened before, it was our Jin Yiwei's private matter. If Joe If Yue and I face head-to-head, then I will be convinced if I lose, but what kind of green onion is He Zhiyang, and he wants to use this to mess with us?"

"He wants to take advantage of this matter to rise to the top and establish friendship with the Qiao family. I don't agree!"

"Didn't he identify me in the imperial examination? Then I will give him a big gift this time, so that he can know what it means to treat others in the same way."

On the second day, the imperial examination was held. This was a major event related to promotion, so the invigilators naturally did not dare to slack off.

When they walked around the field, they found that there were a few students who were mischievous and mischievous on weekdays, but they were holding a few legendary miniature documents in their hands.

The masters were shocked immediately, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, and found the sacrificial wine directly.

When Jijiu heard about this, he was also very frightened. He knew that in the imperial court's rules and regulations, "self-made miniature documents" is a serious crime, and there are strict rules and regulations for everything. These students are young and ignorant of world affairs, how could they There are miniature documents, presumably it is a family matter, but everyone knows that this imperial examination is of great importance, who will prepare these miniature documents for their children to cheat, isn't this shooting themselves in the foot?

Jijiu rushed over and said in a cold voice: "Minorized documents are strictly prohibited by the imperial court. How do you have these things?"

When several students saw the sacrificial wine coming, they faltered in fright, and no one dared to speak.

"Say!" Jijiu looked at the students who were about to cry, but he didn't show any compassion. He just frowned and slammed the table: "Don't hide anything!"

These students were ignorant and ignorant, facing the interrogation of sacrificial wine at this time, they still didn't say a word as if they had negotiated.

Jijiu saw that he couldn't pry their mouths open, so he said coldly: "Don't you say yes? Then don't worry about my ruthlessness. If this matter is spread, someone will naturally find a way to teach you to speak."

If there are other cheating methods, he will not insist on being serious.

But this is miniature printing, which is strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

And at this juncture, isn't this deliberately trying to slap the court in the face?

Someone came up with an idea: "To sacrifice wine, it's better to conduct a large-scale search in the Imperial College to see who has the miniatures and the way."

Not everyone can get the miniature documents. Those who have documents in their hands are either high-ranking and powerful, or they are related to the publishing industry.

This sentence instead reminded the sacrificial wine.

Many people in the capital are high-ranking and powerful. Although these students are simple, their parents are high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Maybe the people who planned this matter behind them have already had different thoughts.

The capital city is considered to be calm in this matter, if he is really stabbed out, and then lead the snake out of the hole, it will cause a catastrophe.

At that time, even if you regret it, it will not help!

He has always been cautious about offering wine. He has worked in the imperial court for decades. Although he has been with the children of the powerful and powerful, he knows how to measure and has never overturned a car.

Now that he encountered this matter, the sensitive sense he had developed over the years made him realize immediately that this matter might be a major event that would stir up the ruling and opposition parties. With his identity and qualifications, it is better not to move.

But this matter has already come out, and it is not a solution not to investigate.

Although they were apprehensive in their hearts, they still thought about it for a while, waved their hands and said to the young scholars: "You guys should go back first, don't say anything, we know what's in our hearts, and we will give you an explanation. Don't say it, did you hear me?"

Naturally, these children couldn't wait more than they wanted, and they all dispersed in a swarm.

Jijiu fell into deep thought again. In fact, he was there during the last imperial examination, and it was also during the exam, and it was also because of cheating. Could there be any connection between this and the last cheating incident?

He didn't intend to go deep into it, he just planned to do a superficial search, but he actually found the culprit when he searched.

It is said that these miniature prints were all made by He Zhiyang.

Moreover, not a single person from the Imperial Academy responded that He Zhiyang had seen He Zhiyang carry it into the campus, and there were many small pieces of paper in miniature.

With such a comparison, the masters are even more convinced, thinking that this matter is entirely caused by He Zhiyang.

Because He Zhiyang is very mischievous and domineering on weekdays, they all know that He Zhiyang is lawless.

A few days ago, he colluded with Jin Yiwei and scared the teacher away.

Now that this kind of thing happens, it is not surprising.

The masters sighed for a while, and immediately sent someone to continue the investigation.

In the end, if you don't check, you don't know. After checking, it turns out that it is He Zhiyang's brother, and the matter involves the Ministry of War and the Beijing Camp. None of them dared to neglect, and immediately began to prepare to control He Zhiyang in the Imperial College.

They asked people to subdue He first, all of them looked like they were facing a big enemy, as if someone who wanted to usurp the throne was lurking in the Imperial College.

He Zhiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it true that whatever happens to the Imperial College will be remembered on my head?"

"We won't spit blood on people," "There is definite evidence that you did this, come with us!"

"I didn't cheat! Why should I go with you!"

"Then tell me, why did you ask your brother to shrink the documents?

He Zhiyang was startled, he wanted to surprise Qiao Yue, so naturally he didn't want to tell the truth.

"I've seen something wrong with him for a long time. I testified for Jin Yiwei before, but now I'm colluding with Jin Yiwei again. Someone, come and take him away!"

Seeing his appearance, he immediately smiled coldly: "If it's not related to the exam, why would you hide it from us?"

Without waiting for He's reaction, several people immediately came up and escorted him down.

The matter was so important that no one dared to speak out, the students just silently watched He Zhiyang being imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and looked at each other one by one.

If he really cheated, no one can help him.

Only some students said: "Why should he cheat, he can go to Honglu Temple already, why should he distribute the miniature documents, making himself unhappy."
