"Haha..." Hyun Chenyu looked away, his eyes clear and clear, and he seemed to understand.
"My brothers and sisters must have heard those rumors, so don't take them to heart."
"Third brother, you actually know." Feng Shuiqing's small hands were warm, and he raised the tea cup and put it to his mouth to hide his secret thoughts.
The conversation between those minions in the corner just now was clearly trying to sow discord between Yuan Chen Yu and Yuan Chen Mandrill.
Hyun Chen Yu was already extremely talented and had outstanding political achievements.
In addition, the emperor is getting older and older, and the country's foundation has not yet been settled.
Inevitably, rumors began to spread.
Furthermore, Xuanchen Mandrill fell into a deep sleep and did not know when he would wake up. The emperor's reluctance to establish a national foundation was too obvious.
If this false reputation and power really created a estrangement between the two brothers, Feng Shuiqing didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't bear to think about the consequences.
Siblings can kill each other, and brothers can fight each other, which is the most tragic thing.
The little girl's face was full of worry, and Xuan Chenyu could see clearly, her eyes filled with stars, as if they could penetrate people's souls.
"No matter what the purpose is, those who spread rumors are deliberately trying to sow discord between me and my ninth brother. However... I now have the most precious thing in life. No matter the country or the throne, it is difficult to exchange for it."
As he spoke, Hyun Chenyu cast his gaze on the children's wooden cart placed in the corner, and his sharp eyes suddenly softened.
Feng Shui smiled happily, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
The third brother of the Demon King has never disappointed.
"Also..." Hyun Chenyu's voice became serious, "Second brother has entered the palace frequently recently, which is a bit unusual."
"Yeah." Feng Shuiqing rarely visits the palace these days, but he happened to meet King Ruixian just now. This encounter seems not to be a coincidence, but a deliberate one.
Otherwise, the path she chose was the most remote corridor in the palace, how would she have met?
"Could it be..." Something in Feng Shui Qing's mind seemed to be on edge, and he boldly guessed, "These rumors were spread by King Ruixian?"
"It's possible."
Xuan Chenyu lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought...
It is obvious that this second brother has never been involved in political affairs and only cares about drinking and having fun all day long. How could he suddenly sow discord with his ninth brother?
It’s really puzzling!
Besides...
Three years ago, after the ninth brother attended Dongchang's enthronement ceremony, he secretly sent a message to him, telling him to pay more attention to Hyun Chen Tai.
In the past three years, he has often received information about the whereabouts of Hyun Chentai from Chunxue Pavilion spies.
It seems that this matter is not simple. It is better not to let her younger siblings know. She is already exhausted because her ninth brother is asleep.
Now that the ninth brother is away, he, as the third brother, has to shoulder everything and share their worries.
After thinking about this, Hyun Chenyu's tense brows softened slightly, and he spoke comfortingly:
"This matter needs to be considered slowly. Now that we have caught the signs, we have an idea and observe secretly."
Feng Shui Qing felt that what the third brother said was reasonable and nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while, and Feng Shuiqing left the palace.
Three days later.
Returning from the court under the wind, smiling and full of joy.
It happened that Feng Shui Qing had just finished feeding Demon King his breakfast, and now he returned to Feng Mansion to prepare for his meal.
Seeing her second brother's happy expression, she raised her little head curiously, "Second brother, why are you so happy?"
"It's a hit! It's a hit!"
Feng Yunzhi has always been calm, elegant and elegant. If it hadn't been a huge happy event, he would not have been so happy.
Lin Ziru's heart moved and he put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Master Feng, could it be that you are talking about..."
Feng Yunzhi's eyes sparkled and he nodded in affirmation.
Feng Shui Qing also reacted and stamped her feet excitedly, "Haha, congratulations! I told you you can do it! You won the top prize!"
The three of them had breakfast in a hurry and hurried to the street where the list was posted, wanting to see Lin Ziru's name at the top of the list.
The crowd surrounded me on three levels inside and three out, and it took me a long time to get from the outermost circle to the first row.
Feng Shuiqing directly focused his attention on the top of the list!
But it is written there...
"The top pick: Xu Yunzhou."
??!
The expressions of the three of them all darkened.
What's going on?!
Shouldn't the number one scholar be Lin Ziru? How did he become Xu Yunzhou? Who is this Xu Yunzhou?
After thinking about it, Feng Shuiqing thought that his second brother might have made a mistake while he was busy. Even if Lin Ziru didn't win the top prize, it would still be great to win second place or third overall!
But Lin Ziru’s name can’t be found on the list!
Before leaving, the three of them were in high spirits and lively.
When they returned to the house, the three of them were hanging their heads and couldn't bring themselves to show any energy.
Feng Yunzhi was the most confused and extremely angry. He took off his outer cloak and stuffed it into the hands of the servant. He hit the table with one palm and said, "How could it be so? I also reviewed Lin Ziru's test paper! He obviously got the highest score! Why did he get the top score?
Becoming someone else?!"
"Second brother, are you sure you read it correctly?"
Feng Shui Qingming knew what was going on, and she felt quite distressed when she saw that Lin Ziru's starry eyes had lost their luster.
She knew very well that her second brother, as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was in charge of the entrance examination, and even the examination papers had to be reviewed and marked personally.
How could I be wrong?
"Of course it's not wrong!" Feng Yunzhi sat on the chair and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "I remember that Xu Yunzhou was ranked second in the results! Now he is the number one scholar! I see..."
"Did someone tamper with the registration papers!?"
Feng Shuiqing read out the remaining words in shock!
Over the years, the emperor has appointed virtuous people as relatives and attaches great importance to the annual entrance examination.
Even the second brother Feng Yunzhi, even though his father was the chief assistant of Dayao, he got famous step by step from the provincial examination.
There is absolutely no room for fraud!
Now, the No. 2 pick has been replaced by the No. 1 pick, but the real No. 1 pick has failed?!
What a courage!
"It's not just that simple." Feng Yunzhi thought for a while and slowly explained: "Only five people have access to the spring examination papers. I, the other three Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, and Gu Sixian, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also got the results of the five of us.
It was arrived at through joint discussion, and the text of the list was written by the list official."
"There are more than ten officials on the official list, and they all do what they are told. They may not be so bold and dare to tamper with the official list. So..."
Feng Shui heard the sound, and it suddenly became clear, "So, the person behind the scenes should be one of the five of you?"
"Um."
Feng Yunzhi suddenly stood up and slammed his fist on the table, "You can make up the names and grades at will! But the content of the test paper cannot be changed! Now the only way to provide evidence to the emperor is to obtain Lin Ziru's test paper."
"Aren't the test papers sealed in the palace?" Lin Ziru, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "The test papers can only be unsealed the day after the results are announced. Master Feng, how do you get the test papers?"
Feng Yunzhi's clear eyes were deep and his words were firm, "Those test papers are sealed in the secret cabinet of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The five of us have the keys. Tonight... I will steal the test papers out!"
…
The dead branches hide behind the wall at dusk, and birds are passing by.
On a moonlit night, the stars are hidden and the clouds are like ink.
Feng Yunzhi took the familiar road and arrived at the secret pavilion where the spring exam papers were stored. Just as he was about to take out the key and open the lock, he saw that the lock had been unsheathed and there were faint voices coming from the room...
"Now that the rankings have been announced, as long as the boy's test paper is destroyed, Yunzhou will be able to secure the top spot! Uncle, Yunzhou, thank you for your help. I beg you to take more care of me in the future."
"Huh huh huh... If it weren't for your kid's cleverness and sharp intelligence, tampering with the results of the boarding exams would be a crime of death! Fortunately, that kid comes from a poor family and has no background to be able to do what he wants. That's why you're a piece of shit.
Good luck!"
"Yes! That's what you said! From now on, my nephew will only obey your orders, but my uncle will obey you!"
"Okay, come on, get up! After all, he is also the number one scholar! Don't show a low-brow look, like sucking a hemorrhoid, which is annoying! You must also remember that when you meet in the future, don't
I’m calling my uncle, do you understand?”
"Yes! Master Gu! I obey the order!"
Feng Yunzhi heard the general idea and completely understood
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, he left in a hurry.
Gu Sixian and Xu Yunzhou locked the door, looked left and right for a while, and then walked back under the moonlight.
They had no entourage with them. After all, the matter was so big that they still felt uneasy leaving it to the servants, so the two of them came in person.
As soon as I stepped out of the official courtyard, I saw a tall figure leaning against the door.
He is made of gold and jade, free and easy, with black hair flowing down his chest and shoulders, and he looks warm, handsome and unrestrained.
"Rui...King Ruixian..."
Gu Sixian pulled Xu Yunzhou and knelt on the ground with a grunt. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head... Five
Hyun Chen Tai smiled as before, twirling the ends of his hair and sweeping the tip of his nose, "No one is sleeping this late at night, the official department is so lively!"
"Rui...His Royal Highness King Ruixian...Weichen is..."
"What are you afraid of?" Hyun Chentai put his toes against Gu Sixian's chin and raised his face, "Can I still eat you?"
"I am not afraid... I just don't know what the purpose of Prince Ruixian coming to the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in the depth of night and heavy frost."
"Hehehe..."
Hyun Chen Tai put down his feet, put his hands behind his hands and slowly walked out. His voice seemed to be absent, with a little deliberateness...
"I came here with the Feng family's servant. I just saw him walking out in a hurry, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Hearing the sound, Gu Sixian and Xu Yunzhou's clothes instantly soaked in cold sweat!
The four eyes facing each other were full of fear and trembling!
Xu Yunzhou was frightened out of his wits, his face turned pale with shock, "Uncle...this is...what should we do..."
Gu Sixian's eyes were full of cunning, "Go back home first and then make long-term plans!"
…
In order to cover up his traces, Feng Yunzhi did not take a car or sedan, nor could he bring anyone with him. At this moment, he was taking a small road alone and rushing to Feng Mansion.
The news I just learned is so shocking! It turns out that Gu Sixian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, secretly tampered with the results!
He wanted to go back home quickly and discuss with his father how to expose this matter.
Just after passing the end of the alley, several figures flashed under the cold moonlight!
Feng Yunzhi felt a pain in the back of his head!
Falling into darkness… This chapter has been completed!
