Emperor Yuan nodded frequently, not mentioning the matter of extinguishing the fire. Instead, he pointed to the decorations in the house and courtyard and said: "The decoration in this courtyard is quite quiet and elegant. The prince consort has really put a lot of thought into it."

"It's so quiet for scholars. The environment here is quite good. There are academies nearby with the sound of books and the smoke of food streets. I think this place is suitable for preparing for exams." Qin Feng talked to Emperor Yuan as if nothing had happened just now.

Very happy.

Xiao Lingyao was fuming on the side, leaving a group of anxious students aside. The two of them actually started chatting about the layout of the house. Didn't you see that some of the timid ones had their foreheads wet?

On the other hand, the examinee who had just spoken out about the trouble was probably in a situation where he had broken the jar. His face was expressionless at this time, and there was no confusion in his expression. Xiao Lingyao thought that if she hadn't revealed what he was thinking, he wouldn't be in trouble.

Provoking him led to this situation.

She couldn't help but sigh. In fact, if people don't care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. Speaking of which, this Kaozi just has a little selfishness.

That little thought was just to add extra points to myself and find a good future for myself.

Moreover, judging from what he just said, he also knows a lot about the affairs of the court. I don’t know where he came from. If he is really talented, wouldn’t he be wronged? Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyao felt even more guilty.

, sighing and looking at the test taker who got into trouble.

When Na Kaozi was feeling extremely depressed, he raised his head and saw Xiao Lingyao's sympathetic gaze, feeling ashamed and astringent.

Either he lost face in front of such a noble woman and was embarrassed, or maybe his inner thoughts were revealed by Xiao Lingyao, and he felt that in the eyes of the princess, he was already a carefree villain, and his expression was even more complicated.

However, Emperor Yuan never commented on what just happened. He put his hands behind his back and walked around the entire courtyard. After listening to Qin Feng talk about the various layouts of the courtyard and the uses of some small ornaments, he turned his eyes.

Come to Kaozi just now.

"Where are you from, who is your surname, and who was your teacher?" Emperor Yuan asked directly about the student's tutor. Eunuch Hong was startled. He was born in a poor family and had limited channels to obtain information. He was

How do you know that ratio?

After the Kaozi lost his mind, he calmed down, kowtowed and said: "The Caomin's surname is Nie Mingfeng, and the Caomin's husband is a distant third uncle of my family, named Nie Yuru."

"Nie Yuru." Emperor Yuan suddenly smiled knowingly, it turned out to be him!

This Nie Yuru also served as an official in the court. He had far-reaching vision and stood out among the officials from a poor family. Although he was a civilian official, he had a good rapport with Chang Governor. Although they didn't have many interactions, they respected each other.

Shortly after the Chang Governor's rebellion occurred, Nie Yuru resigned from office and returned to his hometown, no longer appearing in the court.

Emperor Yuan remembered that he was a sixth-rank doctor of Taixue during his reign. Thinking of this person, he suddenly sighed: "It turns out he is a former doctor of Taixue."

Qin Feng was startled suddenly. Maybe the dynasty of Dongyue was more like a mixture of various dynasties. He paused for a while before he remembered that this Imperial College was one of the Imperial Colleges. The Imperial College can be said to be the original

It is the highest institution of higher education in the country and has extremely high admission requirements.

The state-owned Imperial Academy and the people-owned Hengshan Academy.

In terms of future generations, they are top public schools and top private schools.

The highest official of the Imperial College is Jijiu, while the dean of Hengshan Academy is the great writer Cheng Wu. This comparison makes it clear.

No wonder Nie Feng knew so clearly about the strange phenomena in the court. It turned out that there was a former imperial doctor in his family who was an official. He was probably disappointed with the court and returned home to teach his nephew.

Nephew listen.

Xiao Lingyao also looked confused when she heard Nie Yuru's name. It became clear when she thought that this man resigned after Uncle Chang's accident.

At that time, she was still wandering outside the palace, living in no fixed place, hiding here and there. How could she know this old friend of Governor Chang?

She was already a little annoyed by her sharpness just now. Now that she knew that the test subject was the nephew of Uncle Chang's old friend, she changed her mind and said: "My son also has something to say - although this person is venting his selfish desires, he is also honest.

It was my son who was a bit more aggressive just now."

Xiao Lingyao cast a look of help towards Qin Feng quietly. Qin Feng smiled secretly and still nodded: "Yes."

"Oh, the prince-in-law also thinks it's Yao'er's fault?" Emperor Yuan gave him a meaningful look.

Qin Feng said hurriedly: "No, it's just that people have stress reactions when they are excited, and they will subconsciously say harsh words to protect themselves. If the princess hadn't pressed her step by step just now, this person wouldn't be so straightforward. It's appropriate for His Highness to reflect.

.”

Xiao Lingyao lowered his head and said yes. Nie Feng was surprised when he heard the couple's advice for him. His temperament was already more flexible than Nie Yuru's. At this time, he was smart enough to say nothing and just buried his head in silence.

Emperor Yuan put his hands behind his back, glanced at the young faces in front of him, and asked: "Do you think like him?"

It's a pity that these candidates dare not answer the question. Xiao Lingyao said hurriedly: "Father, please don't embarrass them. It's hard for ordinary people to see the beauty of heaven. It's rare for them to behave like this. Father, my ministers also made mistakes just now, so they can't be counted among them."

One person."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement: "If a scholar doesn't have the slightest bit of spirit, wouldn't it be too pedantic? It's a pity that I don't have the blessing of taking the scientific examination. If I study hard for many years like them, I don't know if I can retain this spirit."

Emperor Yuan clasped his hands behind his back, chanted Nie Yuru's name a few times, and finally said with a smile: "It was he who taught me."

Nie Feng was lowering his head when he heard the words: "The third uncle taught the common people a lot of knowledge. Although he told the common people a lot about the affairs of the court, he was not indignant and had many regrets. The third uncle also said that he should continue to persevere.

I think I was too impulsive back then."

"Oh." Emperor Yuan became interested upon hearing this: "He really said that?"

This matter is true, and there was no hesitation in Nie Feng's tone: "That's exactly what it is."

"When he resigned and left, he was like a strong man. I thought he had no regrets. Now it seems that he is also full of regrets." Emperor Yuan motioned for him to stand up: "As expected of the Nie family, although he has gone too far.

It’s a little harsh, but it’s not a fault.”

Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao looked at each other. Wouldn't this be an admission that what Nie Feng said was true? It seems that His Majesty has had enough tolerance for the dominance of the official clan, and this time he is determined to support the poor family.

Qin Feng couldn't help but wonder, when His Majesty was coerced by the official clan, he pretended to be confused about the Navy's rebellion, and saw the Chang family being killed. Such a brave and capable Navy no longer existed. In the days to come, would he have done the same?

Repent?

He is the king. Jun Wuxi, it is not easy to overturn what he has said. It is he who personally committed the crime and issued the edict!

Didn't Xiao Lingyao also say that she never thought that the Chang family could be rehabilitated, and she had given up hope.
