Feng Hongluan smiled delicately, the sunshine was warm and gentle, and her delicate and rosy skin shone with a faint yellow halo, making people unable to turn their eyes away.
On the roof, not far away, a white figure looked at the graceful woman in the yard in trance, with a light and gentle look in his eyes.
"My lord, it's getting late. I'm afraid the princess will be worried about you." Suddenly, a figure came from behind, and the man in white turned around, suppressing the tenderness in his eyes and turning his face cold.
"Well, I'll go back immediately. Long Yao, have you noticed anything strange in Feng Mansion these days?"
"Your Majesty, General Feng is still making a list of the general's partisans. I don't know what General Feng's plan is for doing this."
"General, what is that old fox doing recently?"
"The general has been hosting banquets every day recently, and has invited all officials in the court to attend the banquet."
"Hehe, he is trying to confuse the audition so that Maple City doesn't know who is his real party member. Then I will help this old fox. Long Yao, please put these three letters in Maple City so that you can read them.
to the place.”
The corner of King Huai's lips curled up into a slight smile. The smile was very light. It was hard to tell what his intentions were. He reached out and sent a sealed letter. The man in his thirties next to him was the man he called Long Yao.
.
Long Yao took it and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, my subordinates have made another discovery in the past few days. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"explain!"
"In the past few days, General Feng has secretly used his connections to open up connections in the court, bribed the Eighth Examination Examination Officer, and successfully submitted the papers of his brother-in-law Han Huiqing to the imperial court. I wonder if Maple City is trying to cultivate himself in the court.
If this is the case, he will become the next great general and must be guarded against."
King Huai thought for a moment, his eyebrows tightened, and he looked at Feng Hongluan who was practicing swordsmanship in the yard. He moved his thin lips lightly: "Fengcheng is brave and loyal. He will not do anything treacherous. There is no need to doubt this matter."
Don't alarm the emperor, even if the reader is bribed, if Han Huiqing's work is poor, it will not catch the emperor's eyes."
"Yes, your Majesty is a wise emperor, how could he be deceived by the misguided deeds of others. General Feng is known to be loyal and loyal to everyone in our dynasty, so it is his subordinates who are worrying too much."
"From today on, behave well. You will definitely replace Luo He."
"Yes, I must behave well and strive to become General Feng's confidant as soon as possible."
"Well, he must be a little wary of you now. After all, I arranged for you to come in. Everything depends on how you behave. General Feng is a temperamental person. See how he has treated the Dong family and his daughter, as well as the Ling family, over the years.
It can be seen that if you can go through life and death for him, he will definitely treat you as a close friend of life and death."
"Yes, thank you for the request, Your Majesty. I understand. I just don't understand. As for Luo He, Your Majesty already knew that it was the person placed by General Feng, so why didn't you secretly remove him?"
"Except for one, there are two. If one Luo He dies, there will be another Luo He! The general's tentacles are like octopuses, and they can't be eliminated. And if he does it, he will definitely scare the snake, and Luo He will die innocently. That old fox will
How can we not be suspicious? When the time comes, suspicion will be cast on us, and it will also be cast on Fengcheng, which will be detrimental to Fengcheng. Furthermore, keeping Luo He will be beneficial to us. We will also test him and give him leave.
Send the information to the old fox."
When Long Yao heard this, he admired King Huai's delicate thoughts and said, "Your Majesty is wise, my subordinates understand."
"You go back and create opportunities to become General Feng's confidant, you know?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates know."
"good."

Time flies by, like quicksand between fingers. Winter turns to spring, and the weather becomes slightly warmer. By the time the results of the palace examination are released, the weather is already very warm. There is no need to wear a thick cotton jacket, only a thin silk lining.
, just wear a long cotton skirt over it.
Although the weather is warm and winter is gone, on the day when the results are released, for those 40 candidates, some people really feel that the sun is shining, while some people are driven into a cold cellar.
The scientific examination system has always been cruel, step by step, there are only forty-seven people who can be admitted as tributes across the country, and most of these forty-seven people will be eliminated.
Except for Sanding Jia, who has the opportunity to become an official, only three or two other tributes who have equally outstanding results and are on par with Sanding Jia are selected as "Dian Hanlin", and then, among the remaining people, they are selected.
Four or five are assigned to the place to do small errands, basically chores, such as masters, etc., but they eat official rice. Although there is no taste, if they are outstanding, there are many who are promoted step by step, which is better than those on the gold list.
A person who falls to the ground and hopes to be completely wiped out.
The list was released that day. There was a list posted at the entrance of the imperial city, and there was also one on the market bulletin board. Feng Hongluan was actually mentally prepared, knowing that Han Huiqing would definitely be ranked first in the Three Tripods, but it was a little bit beyond her expectation.
Yes, despite her father's management, Han Huiqing is still the same as in the previous life, just a prostitute, ranked at the bottom of the Three Tripods.
This result always makes Feng Hongluan a little worried. Maybe everyone's fate is actually destined by God.
But then I thought about it, it wasn't the case either, wasn't Ling Che dead?
In her previous life, Ling Che was still alive and well, but he still used a hypocritical face to deceive her feelings.
Probably, she was overly worried. Han Huiqing could only get second place because he was bedridden for more than a month and neglected his studies.
The test questions this time were naturally made public on the day the results were released, but Feng Hongluan did not expect that Hongyan looked like a fool and didn't want to learn well, and the questions he asked were so tricky.
This question covers a wide range of topics, and if you answer it incorrectly, it may turn into flattery. Of course, if it is not flattery blindly, but it is based on current affairs, it is very likely to anger Shengyan.
Feng Hongluan became interested in the questions. Naturally, she was also very interested in the top three exam papers.
In her last life, her thoughts were all on Ling Che, so naturally she wouldn't care about the imperial exams, questions, or papers. Even if Han Huiqing hadn't been her uncle, she wouldn't have known who was in the top three.
Now I know.
The number one scholar was a native of Xuzhou, and his name was Wang Shijie.
The second-ranked man is from Beijing, and his name is Li Xiangsheng.
