Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 425 Deputy Examiner

"Father, why did you just remove Xiaoyao Hou from his post when he committed such a serious crime?" The second prince, no, King Yan Ye Chuan asked loudly.

"Chuan'er, how do you think I should punish you?"

"His title should be deprived and he should be sent to the Imperial City Prison immediately," Ye Chuan said.

The eunuch Qixi, who was standing not far in front of Yongxi with his head lowered, twitched his lips slightly. King Yan had just returned to the court, so he might not be able to figure out the situation.

Xiaoyao Hou made great contributions in the Southeast War, which can be said to have turned the tide. If your Majesty takes away his title and then puts him in prison, it will be a complete and utter insult.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the eight crimes impeached by the censor Liu An are simply untenable. They are aimed at Xiaoyao Hou Luoxing's position as the governor of Yangzhou.

I didn't see that after Luo Xing resigned as the governor of Yangzhou, those people had no son to continue to pester him, but Liu An seemed to be a little confused, and his head was smashed.

Did King Yan become stupid while studying martial arts at Jianmen, or did he simply not understand the intricate relationship with the court?

Emperor Yongxi sighed slightly. His son was very talented in martial arts, but he was too poor in other aspects.

Fortunately, he never thought about inheriting the throne to him.

"If your father finds it difficult to do this, you can leave it to your son. I promise to capture him and hand him over to your father!" Ye Chuan knelt down and said.

"Chuan'er, Xiaoyao Hou is a person who has made great contributions to the imperial court. Not to mention that most of the charges against him by the censor are untenable. Even if he is really guilty, the merits he has made will be enough to offset it. Okay, who told you to say that in front of me?" Emperor Yongxi was a little angry.

"Father, since he is not wrong, why don't you defend yourself? He clearly has a guilty conscience." Ye Chuan also had a stubborn temper and refused to admit his mistakes at all.

"presumptuous!"

Luo Xing had woken up a long time ago, and naturally he did not listen to the conversation between the father and son. He believed that this was not a double act deliberately designed by Emperor Yongxi and his son, one to play the good guy and the other to play the bad side, because there was no need for it.

After all, he was his father. Even though he was furious, Ye Chuan was still a little scared.

"Xiaoyao Hou has made great contributions to Sheji. The imperial court was able to regain the three southeastern states this time. Without Xiaoyao Hou's advice and efforts, the imperial court would never have been able to regain the lost territory with such a small group of people. The people you saw in the court today are all They want to grab the fruits of victory. The three southeastern states are a land of plenty and a major financial and taxation town. Xiaoyaohou blocks their way to make money. Naturally, they have to accuse Luo Zhi and move him away. Do you understand, Chuan'er!" Emperor Yongxi gave a serious lesson. .

"Ah, then why didn't Hou Xiaoyao defend himself and instead asked to resign?"

"That's retreating in order to advance. He gave up his position. Wouldn't the true purpose of these people be exposed?" Emperor Yongxi said, "Didn't you see how eager they were at the court meeting?"

Ye Chuan was not stupid. He recalled carefully and found that the situation at the court meeting was indeed like this.

Could it be that I was wrong?

No, that's not what the elders of the sect said. This Xiaoyao Hou is despicable and has a lustful nature. He is an out-and-out villain and sycophant.

But why did he become a great hero when he came to his father?

"Father, I'm going to prepare for leaving the city the following day to meet the Wolf Lord of Xirong." Ye Chuan bent down and said.

"Well, you have just come back, and you are already familiar with court affairs. As you take on the task of greeting guests this time, you should follow the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and you should not make any arbitrary decisions." Emperor Yongxi warned.

"My son understands."

"Go." Emperor Yongxi nodded. This second son has been out of touch with the court for too long and needs to get used to it, otherwise it will be difficult for him to take on important responsibilities.

……

"His Majesty!"

"Did Luo Qing hear it?" Emperor Yongxi's face brightened slightly when he saw Luo Xing, and the lines on his face became much softer.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince hates evil as much as he hates it. He is completely sincere to His Majesty. It is very rare to have an innocent heart." Luo Xing bowed slightly and said.

"Speaking against one's will."

"Speaking from the bottom of my heart."

"What do you think of today's events?" Emperor Yongxi walked directly to Luo Xing and looked directly at him and asked.

Luo Xing chuckled: "Their trouble will save me a lot of trouble when the time comes."

"You want to give up your choice?"

"I am not suitable to be the governor in the first place. There are so many things every day, and it also delays my cultivation. I have a lovely wife and beautiful concubines hugging each other every day, and I enjoy flowers and go boating in my free time. It is so comfortable. Why bother asking for troubles?" Luo Xing said. .

"Your Yangzhou governor will return it to you. Anyway, there won't be any trouble in Yangzhou now with or without you." Yongxi said, "I want to arrange another position for you."

"What does Your Majesty want me to do?" Luo Xing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Emperor Yongxi knew that he had no desire for power, so he naturally used it boldly and in a squeezing way.

"The deputy examiner of this competition."

"What, this won't work. Your Majesty, if I serve as the deputy examiner, wouldn't it be a joke to everyone in the world?" Luo Xing heard this and immediately refused.

"The reason why I chose you as the deputy examiner is not because of your knowledge, but because you will supervise and inspect the discipline. I can rest assured that this competition is fair, do you understand?"

Luo Xing understood that this meant he was asked to be an invigilator and a bad person. Cheating in imperial examinations has occurred in all dynasties. As long as it is a humane society, this cannot be eradicated.

Missing questions, entrainment, etc., appear endlessly in an exam. Even in modern exams, it is difficult to completely eliminate them.

After all, there is still a topic to talk about.

If you can win the question, you will be really lucky, and the fate of the examinee's life will be changed.

But the questions set in the modern college entrance examination are absolutely confidential, and the measures are very strict. Basically, it is impossible to miss a question. There are some questions, but they cannot be correct. You can only guess the questions. This is purely luck.

In the imperial examination, who sets the questions and what the questions are are not secrets to some people with great powers.

Even when the emperor Lao Tzu set questions, questions were often left out.

After all, there are people around the emperor. As long as you observe some information about the emperor before he asks the question, such as what books he has read, his writing, etc., and then try to figure it out, you will easily bet on the question.

Never underestimate human intelligence.

"There is no problem for me to serve as the deputy supervisor, but I have a problem." Luo Xing said, it is obviously impossible to fight with Emperor Yongxi.

"You ask."

"Your Majesty, who came up with the title for this competition?" Luo Xing asked.

"According to past practice, there are three major questions in the imperial examination. The first question is interpretation, the second question is poetry or lyrics, and the third question is policy theory. The first question is set by the Hanlin Academy, and I will circle it or randomly , whichever one is selected will be taken as a question. For the second poem, there is usually one examiner and two examiners each. The candidates can choose one of the three questions to answer, while for the third policy question, I will come up with the topic myself." Emperor Yongxi explained.

"Your Majesty, after the question maker finishes the question, will he still come into contact with people?" "Of course, but the candidates don't know whose question will be selected," Yong Xi said.

"For the first question, the Hanlin Academy issued ten questions for His Majesty to choose from. This has left the hidden danger of cheating. Even if measures are taken, these ten people are not allowed to leave the Hanlin Academy after they have chosen the question, but the people serving around him They can still contact the outside world, unless they are under the supervision of Black Feather Guards or Nan Ya Tiqi. When the three examiners come up with the second question and choose one of the three questions to answer, the examiners must also be grounded to avoid suspicion. Once the examination questions are leaked, what will happen? The questions asked by the examiner will inevitably be made in advance, and then they will be reflected in the test paper. When the time comes, they will be known by checking. On the contrary, the examiner does not dare to leak the test questions easily, and the personal talent of the poetry test will not be revealed if a person passes Writing a poem is mediocre, but if it suddenly becomes a blockbuster, it is easy to be suspected. As for your last question, Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"You said."

"The questions you ask have nothing to do with your recent study or calligraphy practice. Also, when you ask the questions, you must be alone, and you must complete all the seals alone." Luo Xing said.

"Well, that makes sense." Emperor Yongxi nodded.

"Huo Yan's black feather guards will be left to you to control, and the discipline of the examination room will be left to you, Luo Aiqing." Emperor Yongxi ordered.

"The minister obeys the order."

"For you to serve as the deputy examiner, you must hold a court official position. In this case, you can go to Zhenwu Academy to serve as the head of the academy for a period of time."

"Didn't His Majesty just decree that Su Xin should act as the head of the house? If I go over now, won't it embarrass Su Xin on behalf of the head of the house?"

"You are here to make a transition. After the competition, Su Xin will take over as the head of the academy." Emperor Yongxi said.

"Then your Majesty, you have to say, I just want to show my name, but I really have no talent or virtue to hold the position of the head of the Zhenwu Academy." Luo Xing said.

He was from Nanya, and he went to serve as the head of the Zhenwu Academy. Even if it was a temporary transition, what did Emperor Yongxi think?

Although Su Xin, the deputy head of the college, is not as talented and capable as Jiang Daozong, who has already become a braid, as the head of the college, he is still quite qualified to train and educate young candidates.

There is no doubt that he is trying to steal someone else's position.

In fact, Emperor Yongxi probably had some grudges in this. You forced me to remove Xiaoyao Hou from his position as acting governor of Yangzhou, so I gave him the title of deputy examiner of the Imperial Examination Competition and the title of president of the Zhenwu Academy.

It depends on what you people want to do?

This made the emperor feel unhappy. What good could these people do?

In fact, Luo Xing didn't want to take on any of these two officials. But in the officialdom, he couldn't help himself. His daughter-in-law was still an official in Nanya, and there was not just one daughter-in-law, but two.

Not to mention, it involves a princess, no, two princesses, and another princess is already on the way.

No, I’ll do some research when I go back and get a recipe to make up for it. One is no pressure at all in one night, two is fine, three is just barely enough, but if there are four...

The best way is to break through the extraordinary as soon as possible. In that case, if you face Yun Ni, you will absolutely crush him.

But what should Leng Yue do?

If you really eat it, you can't ignore it. Hey, there are so many women, so sad!

When he returned to Nanya, it was already past lunch, so he had to go to Deyuelou to deal with it. Anyway, he was very familiar with the boss.

The chef is not here, so do it yourself.

The boss said that since he ate at Deyuelou, Deyuelou has almost become the official restaurant of Nanya for dinner parties.

Then Luo Xing had to buy shares, otherwise, he would not be able to earn the money reliably.

There was no use keeping the money at home, so Luo Xing invested some money in Deyue Building. During the two months when Luo Xing went to Yangzhou, Deyue Building was renovated and expanded, and the property next door was annexed. The kitchen was tripled in size.

The expanded Deyue Building is completely different. It not only has a spacious and bright hall, but also has stylish private rooms.

The standards of chefs have been improved, and the waiters have been replaced by more clever ones. Luo Xing also has a special box here.

The private room is not big, so there is no problem for ten or eight people to eat.

Luo Xing returned to Luojing. He had been here many times. He rarely ate at the Nanya Dining Room, so he just asked Deyuelou to deliver it.

Of course, although he is a shareholder, he should be given a lot of money for food, and businessmen pay attention to rules.

Therefore, Deyuelou ensures that there is a chef in the back kitchen at any time to serve or help Luo Xing at any time.

"I knew your kid was here as soon as I guessed it." Meng Yi opened the door and walked in.

"Master, have you eaten yet? Let's eat some together. Guy, please add a pair of chopsticks!" Luo Xing greeted hurriedly.

Meng Yi said: "I've already eaten, but I can eat some more with you."

"I've heard everything about what happened in the court today. They joined forces to attack you and forced you to resign from your posts in Nanya and Yangzhou. Zhuo Chunfeng didn't stand up to give you a fair word, did he?"

"Captain Zhuo couldn't help himself. He was promoted by Concubine Su. If he spoke for me, Concubine Su and the third prince would have no way to explain." Luo Xing said.

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and he probably wants to squeeze you away." Meng Yi nodded, admitting that what Luo Xing said made sense, but he was not trying to push the situation along.

"It doesn't matter, Qingyi is still in Nanya. In fact, I have no intention of officialdom. If I don't become an official, I can be my Xiaoyaohou."

"Your Majesty, did you stay?"

"Master, do you know if you have spies in the palace?" Luo Xing asked in surprise.

"Don't interrupt. What did your Majesty leave you to say?"

"His Majesty said that the position of Yangzhou Governor will be left to me. In addition, he will let me go to Zhenwu Academy to be the head of the academy for a few days, and also serve as the deputy examiner of the Jinke University Competition." Luo Xing said.

"What?" Meng Yi almost jumped up after hearing this.

"I didn't expect that even if I wanted to refuse, I wouldn't be able to refuse." Luo Xing said, "I guess your Majesty is unhappy and is angry with the courtiers."

"Did you hand over the things Chengguo Bus gave you?" Meng Yi nodded in agreement, and asked after calming down.

"Hand it over, that thing won't produce babies even if you keep it in your hands. It's quite dangerous. Of course, hand it over." Luo Xing said matter-of-factly.

"How to deal with it?"

"This is a matter between His Majesty and Duke Cheng, and I won't get involved." Luo Xing said, "By the way, the second prince is back. His Majesty has made him the King of Yan, and he has also become the chief guest."

"I heard, I also heard that His Majesty is going to build a new Prince Yan's Palace on the site of the Prince's East Palace that was burned down that year!" Meng Yi said angrily.

"Our Majesty really doesn't take revenge overnight. This is eye medicine for your two Highnesses!" Luo Xing laughed after hearing this.

"It has always been extremely dangerous for a prince to seize a legitimate son, so don't get involved." Meng Yi warned.

"Don't worry, Master, I can hide when I can. I don't care about whoever wants to be the emperor."
