The vicious supporting actor wants to be a good guy

"What are you talking about! Our young master didn't cheat! Our young master didn't cheat!"

In the past, Lu Yicai would not have dared to say such a thing, but for more than a month, he has seen with his own eyes how his young master is studying hard to prepare for the autumn exam.

――How could it be possible to cheat?

But his retorts were ignored, his voice drowned out by angry voices.The onlookers were excited, if they were not afraid of causing trouble and retaliation, they would have started their actions long ago.

Li Yu unconsciously took a deep breath, pulled Lu Yi up and ran into the alley, leaving behind the crowd who were still cursing.

"My lord! Why are we running away! They are clearly wronging you!" Lu Yi was so angry that he couldn't stop looking back.

Li Yu didn't pay attention to Lu Yi's dissatisfaction, but ran back all the way until he was far away from the place where the list was released, and came to the empty riverside.

"Why? Young master, you obviously didn't cheat! Why did you let them say that!" Lu Yi chattered unwillingly.

He didn't understand, but he was going to be misunderstood and wronged for something he obviously didn't do. This feeling...is not right at all!

Li Yu looked at the blue sky in the distance, the weather was so clear, why did he feel like he couldn't breathe?

——How can you be the leader!You are cheating!If it's unfair, then what's the point of the autumn test!

But they were right, maybe they really cheated, and now it is not clear whether the Prime Minister's Mansion really adjusted their rankings.

Maybe no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to get the leader, but rely on the secret operation of the prime minister's office. When I think about it, I feel unwilling.

Seeing that his son was silent and looking straight at the river, Lu Yi thought that he was stimulated and wanted to throw himself into the river because of those anger, so he hugged his slender waist and shouted, "Young master! Don't be overthinking it!" !"

Li Yu was taken aback by his inexplicable behavior, and realized that Lu Yi was caring about him, so he couldn't help laughing, "I'm fine, you loose—"

"If you are looking for short-sightedness! Madame must skin me!"

Is the relationship so nervous because you are worried about being implicated?Li Yu was a little speechless, and broke free from his hands, "Come on! Go back!"

"Hey! Young Master! Wait for me!"

In the private room on the second floor by the river, the man leaning against the window rail, his eyes as cold as the moon looked at the master and servant who were fighting underneath, and couldn't help frowning.

Shen Haoran did not expect that Li Yu would take part in the autumn test, let alone that he would win the leader.

If possible, he sincerely hoped that this person would not get involved in court disputes, but he never thought that this person would plunge in without hesitation.

Is this a blessing or a curse?

Li Yu was at the top, followed by Li Qin. Although I don't know if the Prime Minister's Mansion has adjusted the ranking, but seeing the excitement at the place where the list was announced, I'm afraid there may be some changes.

Seeing his master's uneasy look, Feng Ya couldn't help coughing, "Your Highness, in a short while, the envoys of the two countries will enter the capital."

The visitors are not good, although they don't know their real intentions, but they can only be cautious to avoid any accidents.

Shen Haoran sighed unconsciously, it really is a night full of dreams.

There was a lot of excitement at the place where the list was released, and people surrounded the street to make a scene, demanding to rectify the fraudulent behavior, which soon reached the ears of the Holy Majesty.

In order to excite the crowd, and for the fairness of this list, the Holy One decided to add a palace test to prove his clarity.

Although he knew about the plot a long time ago, when he learned that the palace test was about to start, Li Yu was still a little nervous, and his palms tightened unconsciously.

The palace test was announced suddenly. In the original work, the original owner was also taken to the front of the palace without knowing it, so he failed to make perfect preparations, so he was exposed and ended up embarrassing.

In the original work, only the palace examinations of the original owner, Li Qin and Li Qingnuo, were described, but in fact, the top three in the literary and military examinations all had to pass the palace examinations.

In the hall, the Holy Majesty and Empress Li are at the main seat, beside the crown prince and other princes, and they kneel under the main hall, with two rows of civil servants and military generals beside them, all present.

After the insignificant characters were introduced, Li Qingnuo stood in front of the main hall as described in the original work, without the slightest sign of fear.

"Li Qingnuo, join the Holy Spirit! Please advise General Yuan!"

His eyes were full of stars, and even his smile was somewhat confident.

The general took a few steps forward, and after bowing his hand to him, the duel began. As the plot described in the article developed, it only took Li Qingnuo a moment to knock down the general.

Li Yu was a little surprised, because in the original description, Li Qingnuo's martial arts were not particularly strong, but he seemed to have improved a lot compared to before, and he didn't know if he was guided by any knight.

Looking at Li Qingnuo's agile figure, the Holy One couldn't help but nodded in relief, and casually flipped through the exam papers in his hand.

This is the test paper of Li Qingnuo's martial arts test, but the score does not account for a high proportion. What is more important is the score of the martial arts duel.

The Holy One commented, obviously very satisfied with Li Qingnuo's performance.

All military test personnel passed the palace test.

Next is the literary test, which ranks at the bottom of the top three. The unknown supporting role obviously got in by cheating. I remember it should be a son of a certain Shangshu. Pulling away, the Holy One couldn't help frowning.

While he was still talking wantonly, the Holy One waved his hand displeasedly to make him stop, and handed the man's test paper to the father-in-law beside him.

"In the autumn test, Dongyao Kingdom has always produced talents in large numbers, and gathered talents. How could such 'talents' be selected? It's absurd!"

Seeing His Majesty getting angry, everyone hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The supporting actor couldn't help but kowtow in fright. He obviously came here with the words on his back, so how could he make such a mess.

Don't blame him, the reason why the author set up this plot is to show Li Qin's extraordinary intelligence and the original owner's ignorance.

Another cannon fodder, Li Yu sighed, watching the man being taken down with some sympathy.

The Holy Majesty was in a fit of anger, and he couldn't help coughing violently when he thought that the top two in the literary examination in front of the palace were all the sons of the prime minister's mansion.

This literary examination failed to select a single talent, on the contrary, it was fully occupied by these officials' children. If this is the case, what is the significance of the autumn examination!

Empress Li saw that His Majesty was so angry, she couldn't help stroking his chest, "His Majesty calm down, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, maybe it's just..."

"You don't have to say it anymore, the queen, if you can't give Qiushi a fair reputation, how can you recruit people with lofty ideals from all over the world!"

The Holy Majesty interrupted Queen Li's words, opened Li Qin's examination paper, and asked Li Qin to come forward.

Li Qin was not frightened by Long Wei, but slowly stepped forward and saluted calmly, "Li Qin, join the Holy Spirit."

It was the first time that the Holy Majesty met with Li Qin in such a formal way. He had heard about the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't know what the background of this son was.

Looking at the examination paper alone, it is indeed impeccable, but if it is carefully prepared, cheats for personal gain, and tries to get mixed up in an official, then it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!

Thinking of this, the Holy One took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and asked Li Qin a few random questions.

Li Qin answered the questions fluently, without timidity in his eyes, and even a little grandeur, and his demeanor and deeds were quite like a famous official.

Seeing that he had real facts, the Holy Majesty calmed down a little, and continued to ask, "In the criminal law, punishing the nine clans is the most important thing, and those who commit minor crimes also need to be fined and confinement, but the number of criminals has not decreased but increased, and the crimes have been repeatedly prohibited. , why not?"

Li Qin paused, and then continued to reply, "Li Qin believes that it is because of a lack of fear, being blinded by the desire for profit, and not knowing what it means, that he ended up like this."

In the original work, when Li Qin said this, all he thought about was the scene of the destruction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"And how to reduce sinners' crimes is to strengthen guilt, show others heavy punishments, kill chickens and monkeys, and cultivate fear. If people are afraid of punishment, they will not repeat the same mistakes."

He then listed a number of opinions, which made the courtiers around him look at each other in blank dismay.

Such a cruel statement made the Holy Majesty treat him differently, full of relief, even the anger just now dissipated, and he praised in approval, "The prime minister has taught me a good subject."

When the prime minister heard the praise from the Holy Majesty, he didn't know if it was sarcasm, or what, his face was a little embarrassed.

The Holy Admiral left the questionnaire, and asked Li Qin to retreat to his side for the time being, while Li Yu stepped forward.

Li Yu stepped forward slowly, meeting everyone's eyes, either with concern, worry, ridicule, or contempt.

Li Qingnuo whispered to Li Yu silently with his lips, "Come on!"

Li Qin watched Li Yu step forward, feeling a little worried, even more nervous than himself taking the test.

Shen Zirui looked at his father, and now his mood improved. Fortunately, Li Yu was not the second to play, and he only hoped that he would not anger his father.

Shen Yixuan's fox eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Haoran looked at Li Yu, it was finally his turn. Although he had read his questionnaire, he didn't know if it was written by him. If it was written by him, there shouldn't be a big problem in this imperial examination, but I'm afraid...

Civil and military officials, some were waiting for him to make a fool of himself, and some were worried that he would fail. Once he angered the Holy Majesty, the evaluation of the autumn examination would be thoroughly investigated, which might cause trouble.

The surrounding gazes were so hot, Li Yu took a deep breath and ignored those gazes.

"Li Yu, see Your Majesty."

"Get up." The Holy Master was about to ask a question, but looking at Li Yu in the audience, he couldn't help frowning. Yu'er has always been stubborn, ignorant and talented, how could he write such a perfect paper.

As soon as he thought of this, he didn't want to continue asking questions. He didn't know whether he was worried about Empress Li or the Prime Minister's House. After all, Li Yu was very favored.

Seeing this, Empress Li planned to smooth things over, and couldn't help asking, "What's Yu'er's opinion on the issue of the Holy Majesty just now, who committed repeated crimes?"

As long as Li Yu can follow Li Qin's words just now, he can get away with it, Empress Li has this plan in mind.

However, in the original work, the original owner didn't remember the Holy Majesty's question at all, nor Li Qin's long series of replies, so he said casually, "Then kill them all, no matter what crime they committed, big or small. , as long as they are all killed, the world will be free from thieves."

With such a statement, the Holy Majesty was so angry that he almost died on the spot, and then, as he said before, he ended up in an embarrassing end where he lost all face.

Li Yu considered his words, and slowly raised his head, "Li Yu has a different opinion."

"Punishment is only the bottom line to restrain criminals. Li Yu believes that punishment should not be the only standard, but morality should be used to restrain people."

"If everyone knows what should be done and what should not be done, not only fear of punishment, but also from the heart, and the restraint has bound others."

"The people are virtuous and cautious in their words and deeds, so as to reduce crimes and make Dongyao country stable, peaceful, prosperous, and the country peaceful and peaceful."
