After writing the policy theory, in order to prevent the examiners from favoring the examinees, the palace people will paste the names on the answer sheets with paper before presenting them to the examiners. The examiners usually consist of six ministers and four cabinet ministers. In charge, in the Yin Dynasty, the candidates for the examination were extremely strict. Generally speaking, only the top [-] people will be selected in the examination. If the number of people cannot reach this number, the standard will not be lowered. This time, only about [-] people can enter the palace examination. people.

But even if you just want to check the sixty Chuck theory papers, it is already a big project for the marking officers, not to mention that they have to rank the papers before the afternoon, and then submit the top ten to the In front of the emperor, the emperor decided the top three.

After the examiners finished writing, they handed over the papers to the palace servants who were waiting to collect them. They were not allowed to walk around at will, and could only sit in their seats obediently. At noon, the emperor would The passer-by said that he would serve some simple food to the disciples, and only after everyone had thanked him did they begin to enjoy it.

Shen Hui noticed that although the dishes on the table next to him were the same, they were clearly what he was used to eating in the Chonghua Palace, and he immediately understood in his heart that this was His Highness the Seventh Prince's " Using power for personal gain", he felt a little funny, although his highness has become much more stable in the past few years, but in some small places, he often showed a little detachment.

He picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes on the plate, put them in his mouth and bit them lightly, it really was the most familiar taste.

The disciples began to eat, and the courtiers waiting in the hall would naturally not be hungry. Yin Shengle pinched a pancake and walked around the side hall. Several elders, including his emperor's father, It was meat pie in one hand and paper in the other without the slightest scruple, and the discussion was lively. Only He Ge, who just saw Yin Shengle's noodles and pulled off his two white beards, resisted eating, but seriously talked to the candidates. Draw circles on the policy theory.

Yin Shengle didn't make a sound to disturb everyone, but turned on his toes and returned to the main hall: "Yo, why is Second Brother here?"

The second prince didn't watch the excitement of grading papers, and he didn't stay in the hall with other people to comment on this year's candidates. He held a bowl of meat and vegetables, and hid in the corner to eat happily.

Yin Shengle felt that he really couldn't see through the second prince.

He clearly wished he could hang the word "salted fish" on his forehead, and his work was not very reliable, but secretly he was valued and cared by the emperor, and he could be regarded as his second favorite son.

Since you have no ambitions, and you have tried your best to tell others that you have no ambitions, why did your eldest son inherit the throne?

Yin Shengle felt that as long as he faced the Second Emperor Brother, the suspicious personality that belonged to the original owner would become agitated like a school of fish intruded by catfish, and he couldn't suppress it.

"Oh, I'm too lazy to listen to them." The second prince shrugged. He was 16 years older than Yin Shengle, but he didn't look old in his early years, and he didn't start saving money in his twenties like other people. He has a beard and a clean-shaven chin. Although his facial features are not stunning, they are also very attractive.

No matter which angle Yin Shengle looked at, he felt that the second prince was just an ordinary middle-aged man who was afraid of his wife.

"Second brother thinks, who will win the imperial examination this time?" Yin Shengle still couldn't hold back, and tried to test it out.

The second prince tapped the bowl lightly with his chopsticks, shook his head distressedly and said, "You're asking the wrong person, brother, I don't even know who took part in the palace examination, oh, your A Hui I do recognize him, I always hear that the masters in the study praise him for his knowledge, so he must be very sure about the scientific examination this time?"

"Ah Hui's knowledge is of course very good, my brother is afraid that someone will look at him young and try to deliberately lower his ranking..." Yin Shengle subconsciously complacent, and then pulled back halfway through the sentence, coughing unnaturally Twice, "Didn't my brother go to inspect with the father just now, and no one caught his eye?"

The second prince took a hissing breath and said, "Let me tell you this, Xiaoqi, your second brother and I also studied with your Master Liu back then, and I gave him the nickname 'Liu Laoyang'. The number of times I have been punished, I am afraid that all of you combined may not be as good as me."

He spoke very frankly, and he didn't feel guilty at all for being a scumbag.

The second prince stepped out slantingly, waved to a palace man, handed him the bowl, walked back, rubbed his hands and said to Yin Shengle: "Your second brother can't be good at martial arts, the biggest wish of his childhood is to be able to Traveling around the mountains and rivers and writing opera books with my family Ah Chan, seventh brother, how many of us brothers, who can compete with you?"

He is straightforward.

It was so straightforward that Yin Shengle began to feel a little embarrassed, but he still had a smile that was not a smile, and said lightly: "If it is possible, who would not want to live a happy and comfortable life? In my brother's opinion, two My brother is very clear in his heart, I think the second brother can also understand, if the younger brother really thinks that he has a chance to win and let go of his vigilance, I'm afraid there will be countless open swords and dark arrows attacking me right away."

He suddenly laughed happily, a lovely dimple appeared on his side cheek, those cat-like black eyes slowly turned up and down to look at the second prince from beginning to end, although Yin Shengle's smile was really cheerful and lovely , but it just made the second prince suddenly feel cold as if he had been pinned to the neck by a large beast.

"Since the second brother can tell the younger brother this directly, then the younger brother will believe you for the time being." Regardless of whether the second prince's words are true or not, Yin Shengle understands that he can't just let go of his suspicion and guard against him. I just hope that even if my second brother doesn't want to be a gentleman, he won't be a villain who has one thing on the surface and another on the back."

Yin Shengle is very proficient in intimidation. He doesn't like to be like the high-ranking people of this era, who always punish people or use some means to injure his enemies, so most of the time he can only Pretending to be fierce on the lips, so as to keep the character alive, but if it really comes to the point of life and death...

He won't show mercy either.

"Second brother, seventh brother, why are you all hiding here?" The fourth prince walked over with his signature smile.

If Yin Shengle is suspicious and wary of the second prince, then he only hates the fourth prince.

After all, Concubine Ye Gui and the fourth prince, the mother and son, had really attacked him, wanting his life.

And 15 years ago, the matter of poisoning the pregnant Empress Shang probably had something to do with Concubine Ye Gui!

Seeing the fourth prince approaching, Yin Shengle turned his head and refused to answer.

The second prince smiled shyly to smooth things over. Before he could say a few words, he saw the emperor coming out with the examiners. As soon as the emperor came out, he saw his three sons standing together far away from the crowd. Yin Shengle's disgust and impatience, as well as the embarrassment and resentment in the fourth prince's eyes, came into his eyes.

"What are you brothers talking about?" the emperor asked with a smile.

"It's just guessing the ranking of this scientific examination." The second prince was afraid that the two younger brothers would get angry again in front of everyone, so he spoke first.

Although the fourth prince was a bit reluctant, he always believed that superficial skills should not be left behind, so he also agreed with a smile: "Yes, the seventh brother seems to be very worried about A Hui. After all, he is still young. My son thinks that he has entered the palace examination anyway. Even if you don't do well in the exam this time, you can still be granted Jinshi's background next time, so the seventh brother can rest assured."

His tone was no different from that of an older brother who patiently explained to an ignorant younger brother, but when these words fell into Yin Shengle's ears, Yin Yang was extremely angry, and he frowned: "Ah Hui is also what you can call me?"

The fourth prince's expression froze.

"I heard that Shen De admires you very much, fourth brother, you don't know, what did that little bastard do to my family, A Hui?" Yin Shengle sneered, and had no intention of saving face for the fourth prince, "Really Unexpectedly, while you get along very well with Shen De, an insidious villain who hurts others because of jealousy of his brother-in-law, you still have the face to call the victim so affectionately, and open your mouth to curse him for not doing well in the exam? "

"Old Seven." The smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and he reminded in a deep voice.

Yin Shengle immediately looked at the emperor with a face full of grievances: "Daddy, is there something wrong with what Xiao Qi said?"

Looking at his son's face that combines all the advantages of himself and his wife, the emperor suddenly couldn't say anything to blame, and the little anger he had just now turned into worry and distress: "Oh, you can't say that , your fourth brother has never been very good at talking, and he said this because he was too worried, so he made a mistake."

Externally, the image of a long-sleeved, good at dancing, approachable and elegant gentleman just wanted to provoke Yin Shengle, but his father opened his mouth and characterized him as the fourth prince who couldn't speak:  …

You are eccentric! !

But he didn't dare to say this, he could only hold it in his heart with resentment.

"Father, you are biased!" Yin Shengle snorted and complained in a low voice.

The emperor was helpless, and also lowered his voice: "Where am I biased, little ancestor?"

The ministers behind him all stopped in place, pretending that they could not see or hear.

Yin Shengle knew that he still couldn't go too far, so he put back his unreasonable efforts to make trouble: "Daddy is partial to fourth brother because he loves us, I know, but fourth brother is always like this, I feel uncomfortable, it's just It’s just arguing—I’m sorry, fourth brother.”

He tossed out an apology without sincerity.

The emperor immediately answered: "Fourth brother, your younger brother has apologized. As an elder brother, shouldn't you apologize to him too? Also, you are so old, why are you still so speechless?"

"Father, I know I was wrong..." The Fourth Prince pursed his lips and apologized reluctantly.

Yin Shengle nodded and took it.

Seeing the Fourth Prince deflated, he felt happy.

With great difficulty, a dispute subsided silently.

The emperor led the examiners into the hall.

The fourth prince also wanted to follow him, but Yin Shengle stretched out his long hand and grabbed him: "Fourth brother, don't rush away, my brother has something else to tell you."

The fourth prince turned around with a smile on his face: "Seventh brother just say what you have to say."

Yin Shengle leaned over: "You idiot."

"You!" The Fourth Prince's eyes widened.

Yin Shengle had already sneered and walked away.

Although the second prince who watched this scene did not hear exactly what Yin Shengle said, he could also tell from the expression of the fourth prince that it was probably not a good thing.

"Ah." The second prince sighed, and walked away lightly, so as not to be discovered by the fourth prince that there was another person here, and walked away quickly.

The author has something to say:

Lele: Don't call me naive!

Crane: childish ghost childish ghost childish ghost...
