The country is not as pretty as the beauty

"My lady, Wan An!" Bai Muxue nodded, and Ju Yuan took away all the eunuchs and maidservants.

"Why are you here!"

"I'm not allowed to take a look at the imperial examination today?"

"Today there is only a written test, and the written test is in the Gong Yuan, and tomorrow there will be a palace test!"

"Oh, I'm not allowed to come and see people?"

Tian Wuhen smiled, and pulled her into his arms: "I see you every day, and I won't see you for a while?"

Bai Muxue shook her head, stood up, "You have to watch the written test yourself!" She came to remind Tian Wuhen.

But Tian Wuhen was puzzled: "I have arranged spies!"

"Your Majesty's spies may not be loyal!"

Tian Wuhen fell into deep thought, and Bai Muxue said again, "Zhou Xing is different, he has been loyal to you for generations, and he is to you!" Bai Muxue glanced at Tian Wuhen

"Okay, stop talking, how would you know!" He turned his head, he didn't want to mention Zhou Xing's matter.

"Father came to look for me, you sent a spy to go to the prime minister's mansion, but that person may not have told the truth!"

Tian Wuhen frowned: "Why didn't the prime minister come and tell me in person!"

"The monarch and his ministers are suspicious of each other, can you explain it clearly!"

Tian Wuhen was about to speak, but couldn't speak, and paused for a long time: "I will go and see in person in disguise, I promised you that after I promised my mother, if I don't touch the Bai family, I won't touch it!"

"I didn't mean that, I just came to tell you!"

"I know, you are all towards me, but the Bai family is not only your home, but also my home, so I have a sense of proportion. Since it is for you, how can I hurt your important person!"

Tian Wuhen asked Ju Yuan to find a suit of clothes, and Bai Muxue helped him change.

"People are crowded, be careful!"

Tian Wuhen nodded, kissed him tenderly on the forehead, and took Ju Yuan, who had also changed his clothes, to leave Taiyuan Palace for Shangshusheng.

Su Yunxin woke up early in the morning, she was no longer by her pillow, she got up very carefully today, for fear of waking up the sleepy little guy, stretched her waist, put on the clothes that Mu Lingrou prepared for her, and went to the yard after washing find her.

Mu Lingrou was squatting among the clusters of flowers, and Su Yun only had her eyes on her: "My sister spends all day making these flowers and plants, or just reading, wouldn't it be boring?"

Mu Lingrou continued to take care of the potted plants she had planted without raising her head: "Do you think all the women in the boudoir are like you?"

Su Yunxin rubbed her head and smirked. Indeed, there are very few women like her in the world. If she didn't like men, she might marry at the age of eleven or twelve.

And before Mu Lingrou was 15 years old, she was loved by thousands of people. The eldest princess was reluctant to marry her. After that, there was an endless stream of people asking for marriage, but they were all rejected by Mu Shiji. He only had one daughter, so his son-in-law must be A person who is carefully selected by oneself.

Mu Lingrou is two years older than Su Zhan, but five or six years older than Su Yunxin. In her eyes, Su Yunxin is just like a child.

Su walked up to the stone chair in front of him and sat down, talking eloquently: "The fate of those women in deep boudoirs is so bad. They get married in their teens with three obediences and four virtues, and then spend their whole lives with their husbands and children. How boring!"

Mu Lingrou went to the side to wash her hands, and sat down too.

"Isn't it all like this? Instead of entrusting the happiness of my life to a man, I'd rather die alone!"

"Leave it to the man, how come, sister still has me!" Su put his hand on Mu Lingrou's clean jade hand.

Mu Lingrou shook her head and just smiled slightly.

Su Yunxin looked at the rising sun: "The imperial examination should have started!"

Mu Lingrou nodded: "Once today is over, it will take another three years, three years..." Mu Lingrou furrowed her brows tightly.

"What's wrong!"

"It's okay, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Su Yunxin touched his stomach and smiled innocently: "I'm really hungry!"

Candidates entered the Gongyuan one after another, looking for a place to sit. There were more than 1000 people. Maybe they didn't know that there was a change in the imperial examination this year. They were divided into more than a dozen examination rooms. Each examination room was divided into 100 people. Zhang Huaili, the servant, and Lin Yi, the servant of the official department, are members of Zheng's party.

Li Qiao and Tianming were not in the same examination room, after everyone sat down.There is a bell in the Tribute Court. When it rings once, the examinees are seated. The invigilator issues the reprinted test papers, but they are not allowed to write. He is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, with a small official rank, and Zhang Lin, the chief examiner, is in charge of patrolling.

There are more than 1000 examinees in the examination room, and [-]% of them are high-ranking officials. Bribery has never been less. As the saying goes, there are no poor families in the upper ranks, and no nobles in the lower ranks. Moreover, most of the invigilators are younger than the officials in the background of the examinees. Lin Yi is not as greedy as Zhang Huaili. Zhang Huaili will not do it openly.

Zhang Houchun and Li Qiao were in the same examination room, and they were next to them. Although Zhang Houchun had read some books, they were only superficial. The second time the bell rang, the paper was handed out, and there were only two words.

Li Qiao stared at those two words and thought about something, Zhang Houchun looked at it but didn't care, he waved his hand, and the invigilator came over, looked at the test question, and smiled at Zhang Houchun.

Bribery is effective, they have already thought about it, the first batch of examination papers is to be checked by the chief examiner and those who are useless, and then handed over to the emperor for review, and the candidates for the imperial examination are selected. Those who bribed the imperial examination must be mediocre, and The examiner gave the article, and the examiner was blocking those excellent articles from poor families. Even if the people below knew about it, what would anyone in the court say?

This move also happened in Li Qiao's examination room. He knew the disadvantages of the imperial examination, but he didn't expect it to be so serious and the monopoly of officials was so severe.

When the bell rang three times, the exam began. Some wrote out their pens, while others racked their brains to think. Li Qiao didn't write.

"Government!"

What exactly do you want, Your Majesty? Li Qiao was thinking about what happened to Su Chao in the past few years.

If you want to govern the country, then...Li Qiao suddenly thought of something, combined with the situation of Su Dynasty, if it is just how to govern the country, then this question is not difficult, and it is mentioned in the book.

Since it is a national government, it must be the emperor's question. Li Qiao knew it, and Tianming knew it even more, because the emperor on the dragon chair was too thoughtful and his methods were very powerful.

It took a long time for Li Qiao to start writing, but Zhang Houchun kept staring at him, laughing when he saw him start writing.

After half a stick of incense, the invigilator took a paper and gave it to Zhang Houchun, and everyone dared not speak out.

The invigilator walked over to look at Li Qiao's test paper, and was also puzzled. This person's answers were a little strange.

But it has to be said that he is very talented. The examiner silently wrote down the name and went out, while the other continued to monitor. Zhang Huaili looked at every examination room. After the examiner came out, he found Zhang Huaili and whispered a few words in his ear. word, Zhang Huaili nodded.

"The idlers in the important place of the Gongyuan are not allowed to enter!" The gate of the Gongyuan was heavily guarded by soldiers, and two young people were stopped when they wanted to go in.

"Presumptuous!" One of them yelled in a soft voice, and took out a gold medal from his pocket. The leader was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Emperor.."

Tian Wuhen made a shush gesture, and the leader panicked in fright.

The Gongyuan is located near the imperial palace, but Tian Wuhen has never been there. Every time he gets the so-called top ten papers in the imperial examination, he hand-picks the top three.

Ju Yuan was here before, so he led the way for Tian Wuhen. Tian Wuhen looked curiously at the test takers in the examination room, some were sleeping, some were deep in thought, with different expressions. Before, people's hearts are obvious, making him interesting.

Some invigilators didn't know she was the emperor when they saw her, especially after changing clothes, even those who had seen the emperor couldn't recognize her.

"How can there be random people in the examination room, guards!"

The inspecting soldiers rushed over and were about to blow away Tian Wuhen. Tian Wuhen was also very noisy, so he ran away and turned the courtyard upside down. It was originally a tense scientific research, but many people were distracted by the noise outside .

Li Qiao didn't, how could he be interrupted so easily.

Zhang Huaili and Lin Yi rushed over when they heard the movement, it was so nice to see Tian Wuhen being caught by the crowd, they were stunned for a moment.

"You bastard, hurry up and let go of His Majesty!"

The soldiers were also stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. Only then did they realize that they were arresting the emperor, and they kowtowed.

"Zhang Aiqing, you're bored now." Turning to the kowtowing soldiers, he said, "Get up, it's none of your business!" Tian Wuhen said disappointedly.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Huaili and Lin Yi knelt down.

"No need to be formal!" Then he strode towards the main courtyard

Zhang Huaili followed closely behind with Lin Yi, the two of them were already sweating profusely from the fright.

"I didn't know the emperor would come, so..." Zhang Huai said respectfully from behind.

"I didn't tell anyone this time, you don't know what to do!"

"Yes, so Your Majesty is here this time?"

"I'm just here to take a look!"

Only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief, and entered the courtyard, Tian Wuhen sat on the main seat, Ju Yuan stood beside him, and the two of them bent slightly and stood aside.

Tian Wuhen glanced at the two of them: "The imperial examination should have started when I came here, and a lot of time should have passed by now!"

"Back to the emperor, this time the emperor will only set up a written test for the question, and the time is only set within three sticks of incense, and now two sticks of incense have passed!"

"Half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Tian Wuhen smiled, a little weirdly: "Since I have changed the imperial examination so much, it will be changed this year!"

The two were puzzled, so Ju Yuan took out a small piece of white paper: "My lord Zhang, my lord Lin, what the emperor means is to cut out this white paper according to this, and distribute it to the exam, and I'm sending out some paste!"

"Must?" The two were even more confused.

"Paste the examinee's name!"

Only then did the two realize that they were trying to cover up their names.

"Also, all the test papers for this year have been sealed and handed over to the Imperial Academy to read, and then give them to me directly!"

"Your Majesty!" The two seemed a little dissatisfied, and Tian Wuhen immediately darkened his face.

"Observe the order!" The two of them also became afraid, knowing that the emperor was not easy to mess with, so they immediately turned around and ordered the people below to do it.

The author has something to say: Wu Zetian invented the obfuscated name method!
