Chapter 265 The Heart of the Villain
After they were full of tea and food, everyone moved to the main hall, and after a short rest, Nangong Xuanshang invited himself to leave and went back to the sub-rudder.From last night to this morning's one-night secret conversation, Fengyilou has too many things waiting to be done now, there is no extra time to delay here, but after he left, the atmosphere returned to the previous dignified.

Once he leaves, Cang Hao's order will soon be transmitted to Yuecheng, and there is no possibility of changing it.

But this time, no one dared to say anything - although they couldn't understand the reason why Shu Tong was punished, the master must have his intentions in it.

Only Yixiu didn't know what happened, so he reported the result of the scholar's examination to Canghao first, "Master, the result of the imperial examination has come out."

Cang Hao nodded, casually said: "Tell me."

"The Sixth Prince lived up to expectations and won the second place." The corners of Yixiu's mouth slightly raised, showing that he was quite satisfied with the qualifications of the candidates, "The number one scholar is a young student from northern Hunan, named Jibei, who is not yet 25 years old. This son is not only talented in literature, but also outstanding in martial arts. After talking with him, the subordinates especially feel that this person's character is quite extraordinary. It is rare that he does not have the pedantic air of ordinary scholars. He has self-restraint, tolerance, He also has extraordinary views on political affairs, if cultivated carefully, he will surely be able to take on a great job in the future."

Cang Hao was noncommittal, and just asked lightly: "How is it compared to Fang Zhizhou?"

Yixiu said with a smile: "Although Fang Zhizhou was taught by his subordinates, his subordinates have to admit that combining the strengths of Zhizhou and Gong Yang, they can probably be tied with this son."

"It's rare that you have such a high opinion of him." Cang Hao found it interesting, nodded and said, "How's your temper?"

The corners of Yixiu's mouth raised slightly, "All truly talented people are bound to be a little arrogant, but some people show it on the surface and words, and some people show it in their bones."

So Cang Hao didn't ask again, "Who will get the prize?"

"A boy who disguises himself as a man." Yixiu's smile deepened, "This subordinate hasn't made up his mind yet, so I'm here to ask the master what to do—Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a woman to be an official, even the empress Jiu Luo, who is in power, has never done this before, and this woman is truly daring."

"Woman?" Cang Hao raised his eyebrows lightly, "What's your name, and where did you come from?"

"The name she used when taking the test was Luo Yi, but my subordinates thought it was a fake name, and the ancestral home was registered as Qingyang, Mianzhou."

"Qingyang, Mianzhou?" Cang Hao whispered these four words softly, and pondered for a while, "Where are these three people now?"

"At the Guozijian." Yixiu said, "After the master makes a decision, the first-class quota can be determined. The second-class Jinshi is initially scheduled to have 38 people, and the third-class quota is 43. Fang Zhizhou is talking with them. Later, the list will be drawn up with the master. report."

Although Shisi did not come to the examination room in person, he also knew that at the beginning of May, there were at least [-] scholars who stood out from the provincial examinations in various places and were lucky enough to come to the Imperial College to take the examination. With the eyes of Yixiu and Fang Zhizhou, thinking with his toes, he also knows how strict their requirements are.

This year's examination system is very different from the previous ones. More than [-] people have been brushed down half of the threshold before entering the Imperial College. Various reasons, such as vulgar behavior, narrow mindedness, carrying cheating tools with them, fighting in the street, There were even those who went to the brothel before entering the examination room, and unfortunately all of them were checked by Yixiu one by one and pulled into the ranks of refusal.

Fourteen once asked him inexplicably: "Visiting a brothel can also be a reason for refusing to take the exam? If they really have real materials, wouldn't they have ruined their bright future in vain and the court also lost talents?"

Yixiu's answer was very simple and clear, even too simple and clear, instantly leaving Shisi speechless.

He said: "These scholars will be the ministers of the master's humerus in the future. True talent and practical learning are very important, but personal quality cultivation should not be ignored. The Imperial College is a sacred place that countless scholars dream of. If you step into the Imperial College before , and still thinking about the land of wind, flowers, snow and moon, it can only prove that this person is either weak in willpower or shallow and vulgar in vision, even if he has a talent against the sky, he will never have the opportunity to stand in front of the master."

Strong-willed, not easily confused by external factors, whether it is gold, silver, fame, or beauty, everyone has their own preferences, but those who cannot resist the temptation, Yixiu will not spend more time on them.

As for those who brought cheating tools during the exam, and those who fought in the street, without exception, they were expelled from the imperial capital for misconduct, and registered in the register, and they were not allowed to take the exam within three years.

Fourteen understands this point. Cheating in exams is nothing more than one's own limited knowledge, but one is obsessed with fame and future. He only has money and fame in his eyes. It is the real moth of the imperial court.

There are many checks and layers of screening. Although there are not many people left in the end, they are undoubtedly the best of the best.

"The champion, the second place, and Tanhua all requested to see His Majesty at the same time half an hour ago. The subordinate asked them to wait in the Imperial College first, and will summon them when His Majesty is free."

After finishing speaking, Yixiu twitched the corners of his lips first, and glanced at his master, "Master has pushed all the big and small matters to me, so I guess there is nothing important to worry about right now?"

"It's nothing important." Cang Hao smiled faintly, "What's the matter?"

so what?

... see, or not see, when to see, who can be the master of the master?It's not up to the master to be happy.

Yixiu sighed, "It's not good, this subordinate is begging for beating again."

Cang Hao tilted his head, fixed his eyes on Chu Han, whose eyes were still bloodshot but kept calm, and said lightly: "Go and rest, we will talk about it tomorrow morning if we have anything to do."

Chu Han had obviously reached the limit of his endurance. He ran around day and night for four or five days, and his bones were about to fall apart. He was always tense because he was worried about his master's body.At this time, it was confirmed that the master's body was fine, and his mind relaxed. In addition, just after eating, the unstoppable drowsiness suddenly struck, and the body was swarmed with exhaustion and soreness. It seemed really...

At this time, he really didn't have any thoughts of being brave at all. As soon as Cang Hao's words fell, Chu Han simply said "Yes", and dragged his exhausted body to the outside of the hall.

The palace where he followed Nanfeng to groom his appearance just now is not far away, he can easily find it without anyone leading the way, so he wandered away alone.

"Ninth brother." Enduring until now, Fourteen couldn't help but speak, "That Shu Tong, ninth brother punished him... for what?"

Shu Tong and Shu He are brothers, and it is normal to exchange letters occasionally. Shu He has extraordinary feelings for his master. Shu Tong informed his master that he is in poor health, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it...

"Yixiu, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Yixiu was stunned for a moment, but when asked suddenly, he felt confused, "Shu Tong?"

"Shu He thought that his master was in some condition, so he left Nanyue with nearly a million soldiers and galloped towards the emperor." Seeing that he didn't understand, Fourteen explained in a low voice, "The person who sent the letter to him was Shu He. He's elder brother, Shu Tong, was punished by Ninth Brother with eighty army sticks."

Yixiu was silent for a while, raised his eyes, looked at Ziyu and Moli who were silent for a while, and said calmly, "Eighty army sticks, master is too kind."

Fourteen was stunned.

Eighty army sticks, even if Shu Tong is strong and strong, without exercise to protect his body, it is enough to kill half of his life - is it too merciful?

If Yixiu hadn't met the two brothers of the Shu family at all, Fourteen would have thought he had enmity with them.

However, Fourteen looked at him with a strange expression. Could it be that Yixiu was jealous of Shuhe being favored in front of Brother Jiu?So at this time, hearing that Shu Tong was punished was not only gloating, but also adding insult to injury.

However, it's understandable when you think about it. I'm Brother Nine's true relative. Back then, Brother Nine's priceless fiery red ice silk shirt was given to Shu He casually, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Therefore, at this time, he can quite understand Yixiu's feelings.

Yixiu's 11-year fake emperor is not for nothing, especially in the past few years, he has witnessed Fourteen grow up day by day, and he has a thorough understanding of this little kid who has grown up and still maintains a pure heart , Just looking at his expression at this moment, you can tell what he is thinking in his heart.

In front of Cang Hao, he slapped him mercilessly. When Shisi covered his forehead and stared at him, Yixiu lazily rewarded him with four words: "The heart of a villain."

——To save the belly of a gentleman.

"Are you a gentleman?" Fourteen stared at him with an extremely suspicious expression, "A gentleman speaks but doesn't move, don't you know?"

Yixiu was too lazy to argue with him, and said lightly: "Shu Tong speculates on the master's mind without authorization, and even put his mind on the master's head, shouldn't he be punished?"

"What do you mean?" Fourteen frowned suspiciously.

Cang Hao closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth seemed to be flamboyant, and the expression in his eyes was inexplicable, he just twirled and played with the small and exquisite jasper cup in his hand, without saying a word.

Yixiu recalled the thoughts he had once, and although he felt a little angry at this time, he seemed to understand Shu Tong's actions, but - understanding is understanding, understanding, but it can never be a reason to be forgiven .

"Shuhe's reputation in Nanyue is too great." Yixiu looked indifferent, with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Shu Tong was worried that his achievements would overwhelm the master, and the master would be unfavorable to him."

Therefore, I specially told Master Shuhe that his health was not in good health, and Shuhe rushed here after hearing the news. First, he proved that he treated his master as usual, without any change of heart, and remained sincere and loyal. Second, he also proved his trust in his master, so he dared to go forward alone. Come, don't worry about being too famous and being suspected by the master.

After hearing the words, Fourteen fell into silence for a moment.
