My uncle, he has all the power in the world

Xiang Dong looked at Su Qizhi with burning eyes and said, "Do they deserve to die?"

Why!
Why is the life of their poor people not their life?
This Su Qizhi is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and it is said that he is the son of the prime minister. He has had the best husband since he was a child, and he has been admitted to the Hanlin Academy!
But he has never invited a husband to his family. How many times has he eavesdropped outside the dilapidated academy!
He didn't blame his fate for being unfair, and he never felt that he was unwilling to try for second place. The education he received was different, so he was naturally not as good as Su Qizhi.

But he originally thought that the son of the prime minister must put himself in the people's shoes! But these words really angered him!

Do people who encounter natural disasters deserve to die?

Should we just endure it when officers and soldiers beat innocent victims to death?
What’s the point!
Unexpectedly, Su Qizhi snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Xiang is too naive. If you pardon them today, they will dare to continue to rebel tomorrow. People are so weak that they can swallow elephants, so why should we sympathize with them!"

"This is not sympathy!"

Xiang Dong said angrily: "Those are our compatriots, the people of Yanning. They are people who have no strength to tie a chicken. But when they work, they pick up hoes for farming. When the country is in danger, they will also pick up long hoe." The spear protects the home and the country! Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The boat travels on the water, so how can you think that the water is useless!"

Xiang Dong said loudly: "If you are well fed and clothed, who would be willing to raise your head and rebel?"

After these words, not only the candidates, but also the courtiers were moved.

If everyone is like Xiang Dong, then Yan Ning Chaotang...

It’s clear from now on!
Xiao Muyao curled his lips and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I have finished the exam."

The civil and military officials present looked at the three people and secretly thought that if His Majesty were to take the test on the Four Books and Five Classics today, it would be a different situation now.

It’s really... worthy of Xiao Muyao!
Emperor Yanning nodded slightly and said, "That's it, Xiao Aiqing announced."

Xiao Muyao looked around.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiang..."

He smiled and said: "The position of number one scholar belongs to you!"

Xiang Dong was startled and looked at Xiao Muyao in disbelief.

He thought that the remarks he just made would definitely make all the officials unhappy, as well as Mr. Xiao and His Majesty!
After all, every word of his words was leaning towards the revolting people, and he also had the intention of blaming the imperial court, but...

But Mr. Xiao actually chose himself as the number one scholar?

He looked at Xiao Muyao in surprise, not knowing why.

At this time, the one who was more shocked than him was Su Qizhi.

how so!
Why?
Why!
Didn't he understand that he was wrong to suppress the uprising?
Was he wrong to annihilate the unruly people?

Was he wrong to stabilize the court and centralize power? !

Why is Xiang Dong the top pick?

Why should he be ranked second?
Who would have thought, Xiao Muyao continued to say: "Young Master Lin is the second-best talent!"

Lin Qian was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

He will take the fourth place in the examination, thinking that he will win the third place in the palace examination. Who would have thought that today, if he does not write an article or compose a poem, he will test the disaster victims' rebellion!

This famous Mr. Xiao is clearly testing the suffering of their people!
But Su Qizhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Muyao in disbelief.

How can it be!

How can it be!

If I'm not even the second best...

Then, I heard Xiao Muyao say: "Master Su is the man who explores the beauty."

Su Qizhi suddenly swayed.

how can that be!

He will try to be first! How could it be possible that I could only get the top spot in the imperial examination!

When it comes to articles, poetry, or even being an official, these two people are simply not as good as me!

Why!
Xiao Muyao smiled and said, "Master Su seems to be dissatisfied?"

Su Qizhi was shocked, he gritted his teeth secretly, he was indeed dissatisfied!

Can…

He doesn't dare!
Who is Xiao Muyao!

Even his father would take a detour when meeting him, how dare he refute!

After a long while, Su Qizhi lowered his head and said, "The common people don't dare."

Xiao Muyao smiled.

"I have read Mr. Su's article. It is indeed good and worthy of the position of Huiyuan."

Xiao Muyao said: "But there are scholars with outstanding literary talents every year! I am in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and what I want is more than just talent."

"Oh", Xiao Muyao walked in the hall like a leisurely stroll: "Master Su's way of being an official is indeed good. You are the son of the prime minister. You know how to be loyal to the emperor and how to be a minister. But..."

Xiao Muyao stopped and said, "You don't know how to treat people!"

"Xiang Dong said that water can carry a boat and also overturn it." Xiao Muyao said: "The Qi family governs the country and brings peace to the world. You will learn how to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but you don't know that these ordinary people make up the Yan Ning is a family! How can we govern a country if we don’t have all the families together!”

Xiao Muyao suddenly looked at Su Qizhi sharply and said: "I would like to ask Mr. Su, if you just want to climb up, and you are in a high position and cannot tolerate any resistance, what is the difference between that and Zhao Gao, who regards a deer as a horse!"

In an instant, Su Qizhi was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The common people don't dare!"

Taking Zhao Gao as an example, his crime is probably too big!
But at this time, Xiang Dong's eyes were red!

If the flood in the neighboring city had been handled by Mr. Xiao, it would have been a different situation!

He deliberately inquired about the rebellion and heard a little bit about it. It was clear that His Highness the Crown Prince fought for imperial power and sacrificed his life for the victims!
How innocent they are!
Should the poor become victims of power?

Xiang Dong's body trembled slightly, and he was indescribably shocked when he saw Xiao Muyao. He clenched his fists and secretly swore that he would serve as an official in this life...

They all have to be like Xiao Muyao!

At this time, Xiang Dong could not imagine that Xiao Muyao, the head of the Hanlin Academy in Yanning...

Just here to mess around!

At this time, Xiao Muyao looked at Su Qizhi and said with a smile: "Master Su, what are you doing? Get up quickly. In the future in the Hanlin Academy..."

"I am very much looking forward to Mr. Su's performance."

Su Qizhi was startled. For some reason, he always felt that Xiao Muyao's words had a deeper meaning!

He stood up slowly, lowered his head and said, "Thank you... Mr. Xiao."

The hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly, full of unwillingness.

Xiao Muyao ignored him and said with a smile: "The first order has been decided. Dear tributes, you have an inkstone and ink in front of you. I want you to write down the process of plowing the grain, as well as the harvest and rice price in recent years!"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and then looked at each other in confusion.

Xiao Muyao saw their doubts and said slowly: "If you are serving as officials in the court, but you don't know how hard farming is, and you don't even know how many pounds of rice can be harvested from an acre of land, or how much silver a pound of rice can be sold for, I would like to advise you, You should go home and continue reciting poems, right? The court is not suitable for you!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that if they didn't even understand the principle of "every grain of grain is hard work", how would they know that survival was difficult and how would they know how to sympathize with the people?

Some candidates smiled knowingly and started writing.

The civil and military officials looked at Xiao Muyao and nodded secretly. It seems that Mr. Xiao is about to make a big change!
Only Su Yuanhe looked gloomy and couldn't believe that today's result was like this!

How can it be!

In previous years, nine out of ten were ranked number one in the Hui Yuan competition. Even if it was not satisfactory, he would also be ranked second!

But...but this Xiao Muyao actually took the Xuzhou Rebellion exam!

Most of these candidates this year are from poor families. Only Zhi'er has a special status and comes from an official family. If one tests the public opinion, Zhi'er is naturally not as good as them! But it happened that it was this damn Xiao Muyao who was taking the exam!
Prime Minister's House.

Looking at Aunt Du who had crawled less than half a meter and collapsed on the ground, seemingly with only half life left, Su Qingmo knew in her heart that Aunt Du was at the end of her fight.

Counting that the time was almost up, Su Qingmo leaned down and said, "Oh, by the way, Auntie Xu doesn't know, but my father has always had an extramarital affair, named Yingjiao, and she has a son."

Su Qingmo's words were arrogant, but in fact...

To deceive Aunt Du.

As mentioned before, the servants said that Su Yuanhe poisoned Aunt Du to silence her, and he was just lying to her.

And sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the dying Aunt Du suddenly shuddered and opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Su Qingmo smiled when she saw this.

"I think the results of the palace examination have come out, but I don't know, third brother..."

Su Qingmo stood up and walked outside, saying word by word: "What's wrong!"

After walking out of the room, Su Qingmo deliberately left the door open, her lips raised slightly, and she left Chang Qiuyuan with a faint smile, obviously in a good mood.

Imperial City, East Palace.

After the palace examination, Ning Lichen had just stepped into the East Palace when a sword wind came from him. Ning Lichen turned around suddenly and saw a man in black flying down from the high wall, approaching him!
Ning Lichen's eyes widened in shock, he turned over and dodged, and hit this man together.

Only then did the palace people on the side react. They were all shocked and shouted: "Assassin! There is an assassin!"

Ning Lichen fought with the assassin. Although the assassin's martial arts was slightly better, Ning Lichen, a dignified prince, was not an ordinary person. He was not panicked, but he was full of doubts.

This is already the second assassin!

I just caught one a few days ago, and another one came today!
There are secret guards and forbidden troops everywhere in the palace. It is impossible for anyone to sneak in silently. The fact that these two assassins can enter the East Palace is enough to show that they are familiar with the patrol time of the forbidden troops!

The inspection, changing of guards, and route of the Forbidden Army were all temporarily decided by the commander and the two guards. Now that Zhao Ji is in jail, could it be that Meng Shuo colluded with the assassins today? !

What exactly is going on!

Is the palace so easy to enter?
At this time, Zhou Qin, the left guard, rushed over with his people and was frightened to death when he saw this scene.

"Your Highness!"

He hurriedly ran forward and fought with the assassin.

But knowing that the assassination failed, the assassin suddenly threw two hidden weapons and came through the wind! When Ning Lichen and Zhou Qin retreated, they saw that the assassin had already fled and headed outside the palace.

"stop!"

Zhou Qin also flew up and chased out with the rest of the Imperial Guard.

Ning Lichen stood still, looking at the direction the assassin left with a little doubt in his eyes.

Such lightness...

This assassin just did it, didn’t he try his best?

As expected, Zhou Qin came back not long after, but he didn't catch up after all!

The assassin was very familiar with the terrain of the palace. He disappeared after turning a few corners and must have escaped from the palace by now.

Ning Lichen was even more puzzled after hearing this. Such light skill...

How could his martial arts be as good as his own?

If his martial arts skills were really mediocre, how could he dare to assassinate him?
What exactly is going on!

Cool breeze.

At this time, Su Qingmo was enjoying the breeze.

She and Ye Qianchen stood side by side in front of the window, but there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

"Master Ye..."

Su Qingmo looked up at Ye Qianchen and asked, "Are you not worried?"

Although he knew that this man's secret guard martial arts were peerless and he would have no problem entering and exiting the palace, it was too dangerous to be exposed to others and attract the Imperial Army.

Ye Qianchen's face remained as usual, still looking out the window, and said softly: "Don't worry."

Su Qingmo felt a lot more relieved when she saw how calm and composed he was.

At this moment, Jin Xia's voice came from outside the door: "Miss."

"Come in", Su Qingmo turned around and looked at the door.

I saw Jin Xia walking in wearing men's clothes, placing the tray on the table, first nodded slightly to Ye Qian Shen, and then said to Su Qingmo: "Tan Hua Lang!"

Su Qingmo raised her lips and smiled, and said in a good mood: "Congratulations to my third brother!"

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Jinxia continued...

"Master Xiao made the topic of the flood in the neighboring city, and it is said that Su Qizhi was reprimanded!"

"Ahem!" Su Qingmo almost choked.

Putting down the teacup, his eyes were filled with gloating.

This Xiao Muyao is really bad! So many people's livelihood is not mentioned, but the flood in the neighboring city is the topic. Isn't this a stab in Ning Lichen's heart?
Su Qingmo's eyes were full of smiles and she sighed: "There is no kind heart in this Xiao Muyao."

Jinxia's mouth twitched slightly after hearing this, and she thought to herself, Miss, you don't have it either...

Didn't you ask Xiao Muyao to harm Su Qizhi?

Su Qingmo didn't know what Jin Xia was thinking, so she slowly walked to the window and looked out the window thoughtfully.

at the moment…

Just waiting for the results in the palace!
An hour later.

The action in the palace was very fast. As soon as the palace examination was over, the gold medals were posted all over the city. In addition to the three people in the first class, four others entered the Hanlin Academy, and the remaining tributes were transferred to various places outside the capital to serve as officials.

The content of the palace examination spread like wildfire, and for a while, people in the capital were excited about matters. No one knew that Mr. Xiao was dedicated to serving the people, he was a noble and upright man, and he was a rare and good official.

On the contrary to the people of Yanning, Su Qizhi and Su Yuanhe returned home together and stayed in the study for a full hour, most of...

They are all scolding Xiao Muyao!
Su Qizhi was furious and cursed three generations of Xiao Muyao with an angry look, but he didn't know that he had really 'unjustly accused' Mr. Xiao!
Want to scold...

It was also time to scold Su Qingmo.

At this time, due to Xiao Muyao's "consideration of the people's sentiments" question, the results of the palace examination had been widely circulated, and even the servants of the Su Mansion were already aware of it.

Changqiuyuan.

"I really didn't expect that the third young master would only be a third-year-old..." A maid curled her lips and said disdainfully.

Aunt Du had tortured them a lot in the past. She would only be happy if the third young master failed the exam.

"Tanhua is also a first-class girl!" Another maid said angrily: "He also entered the Hanlin Academy!"

It would only be applauding if they were ranked first in the rankings. It would be better to leave the capital and see how Aunt Du still tortures them in her current state.

They never dreamed that Aunt Du, who used to cover the sky with one hand and beat and scold them at will, would become like this!
Let’s look at it…

The master is not going to pay attention to Aunt Du anymore!
What a great thing!
At this time, the maid hesitated and said: "Would you like to go in and see Aunt Du? Today's breakfast hasn't been delivered yet..."

"What are you looking at?" Another maid curled her lips and said, "Have you forgotten what she permed you into last month?"

My little cuties, the Fourth Princess vs. Xu Yong or Yun Qiu Tomb, you should leave a comment in the comment section~ Mmm~
