"The Ministry of Officials, is it neutrality...or is it a check and balance?"

  Li Shimin frowned and thought deeply, his eyes swept over the names of these officials, and his eyes stayed on the name of Changsun Wuji for a long time.

  But in the end, it moved away.

  Changsun Wuji used to be the person he trusted the most, but now, he is also the person he most disappointed in!

  His eyes kept moving like this, and finally, at the end, it fell on Cen Wenwen.

  "Cen text..."

  Li Shimin recalled everything about Cen Wenwen in his eyes.

  He paid close attention to Cen Wenwen, and it was when Cen Wenwen confronted the ministers for Li Ke several times. Moreover, a few days ago, Cen Wenwen cracked a very secret corruption case and made a great contribution.

  Now he hasn't figured out how to reward Cen Wenwen.

  "Perhaps, his words..."

  Li Shimin suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "Xuancheng, what do you think of Cen Wenwen?"

  "Master Cen?"

  Hearing the words, Wei Zheng thought for a while before he said, "Being honest and fair, willing to speak out with justice, and has recently made great contributions, and has the potential to be a good minister."

  "is it?"

  Li Shimin tapped his finger on the table lightly, recalling Li Ke's changes during this period of time and the surprise he gave him...

  "Perhaps, it's time to give him a boost..."

  Li Shimin's eyes kept flickering, and finally at the next moment, he suddenly raised his head, took out the cinnabar, and drew a circle around Cen Wen's name.

  Then he said: "In the decree, Cen Wenwen is an honest and honest official, and has been well received. He has made great contributions to the imperial court many times, and has been praised well in the mouths of officials. Therefore, Cen Wenwen is temporarily appointed as the Minister of Officials..."

  ……

  Time passed quickly.

  Before sunset in the afternoon, the gong sounded again, and all the candidates put down their pen and paper and sat there, waiting for the soldiers to come and collect the papers.

  This system exam is finally over.

  One day, all the candidates are extremely tired.

  And more exams have bitter faces, because they really have no confidence in what they have answered.

  There are some people who, until now, have not understood what the question is.

  It's just that noise is not allowed in the examination room, and they have tons of bitter water to vomit in their hearts, but they dare not say a word.

  It was not until all the exam papers were collected, the chief examiner Fang Xuanling said that after the exam was over, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out while complaining.

  "This time the question is too difficult!"

  "Yeah, I don't even know where that test question came from now!"

  "Mencius, right? Confucius said Chengren, and Meng said he took righteousness!"

  "I don't know, I have no idea at all!"

  "I know where it came from, but I have no idea how to solve the problem!"

  "Hey, I really failed the test this time."

  Many candidates sighed and looked very ugly.

  At this time, Li Ke's nine students finally met at the gate of Gongyuan.

  As soon as we met, I saw Ximen Xue's brows twitching. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Luo Pengcheng say, "Be careful with your words and deeds, and you can know everything in your heart!"

  When Ximen Xue heard Luo Pengcheng's words, his heart suddenly froze. He nodded quickly, knowing that he almost had an accident.

  Luo Pengcheng glanced at everyone, a smile suddenly appeared on his calm face, and said, "How?"

  Ximen Xue's horns twitched directly, and said, "This time, you will definitely hit!"

  "I will not disappoint my teacher!"

  "no problem!"

  Seeing everyone nodding, Luo Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He also smiled and said, "Now I know how lucky I am to be able to follow my teacher! Without a teacher, how could we be able to have high school students? Opportunity!"

  "Yes!" Everyone exclaimed.

  "The direct descendants of the King of Shu? Are you ready to pack your bags and return to Yizhou when you gather here?"

  But at this moment, a very inappropriate voice sounded.

  Everyone turned their heads and saw Ouyang Lin was leading a group of scholars to raise their heads, and said with a look of disdain: "But it's normal for you to go back now, after all, the exam questions this time are too difficult, with your ability, you should also Knowing that I will definitely fall into the spotlight..."

Chapter [-] Feng Cen's text is the official book of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Personnel is in my hands!

  Chapter [-] Gambling!The scholar enters the game, making a big bet!

  Outside Gongyuan.

  At this time, the scholars who came out of the Gongyuan found out what was going on here, which made all of them nervous, and then subconsciously stopped and looked at this place in a whisper~.

  Wang Chenglun and other talents from Jiangnan also saw this scene, and then saw Wang Chenglun's eyes roll, his corners twitched, and he led people over.

  For a time, Prince Li Chengqian's Jiangnan scholars' forces, Wei Wang Li Tai's Yongzhou scholars' forces, and Shu King Li Ke's Yizhou scholars' forces instantly formed a three-legged situation, and they were stalemate.

  It's just that there are too few scholars in Yizhou, only nine people. Compared with the other two forces, it makes people sad.

  When Ximen Xue heard Ouyang Lin's words, she couldn't help but startled slightly, but in the next moment, he saw his eyes suddenly roll, and he suddenly took a step forward.

  And it was this step that caused Ouyang Lin's expression to change subconsciously. He also recalled the nightmare of being dominated by Ximen Xue, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

  "You... what are you doing? I didn't say a word from the King of Shu this time!"

  Seeing Ximen Xue coming, Ouyang Lin couldn't help but speak.

  When Ximen Xue heard the words, she just patted her clothes lightly and teased: "What are you afraid of? How dare you be so timid? Don't worry, I don't dare to bring a dagger or something in today's exam. Are you safe? ."

  Hearing Ximen Xue's words, Ouyang Lin could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  But the next moment, he suddenly thought of something, and he looked around quickly, only to see other scholars, all looking at him with strange eyes, which made him feel extremely shameful, and the anger in his heart was rubbing against him. I got up.

  "Ximen Xue, you are too deceiving!" Ouyang Lin said through gritted teeth.

  "Too much bullying? When did I bully you?"

  Ximen Xue was the most clever and assertive of Li Ke's students. He spread his hands and said, "Everyone has seen it. You took the initiative to find us and said that we would definitely fall into the sun, so let's return quickly. From Yizhou! Why, it should be said that you are rude, how did I become bullying you?"

  "You... hum!" Ouyang Lin said angrily, "What I said is the truth!"

  "fact?"

  Ximen Xue raised her brows suddenly and said, "Ouyang Lin, it seems that you are very confident in this exam!"

  People from a noble family like Ouyang Lin have always been proud and proud in front of these commoners.

  I saw him raised his head and said, "My son is naturally confident, and this son's goal is to be at the top of the list!"

  "Ouyang Lin, the champion is not yours!"

  At this time, Wang Chenglun suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I have more confidence in the system this time, and that top-ranking scholar must be me!"

  Ouyang Lin glanced at Wang Chenglun and said to himself, "Hmph, then wait until the day the list is released, to know who is the real champion!"

  "I'm looking forward to that day!" Wang Chenglun said.

  "Hello, two, when we are the air?"

  Ximen Xue's voice rang out at this time, interrupting the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, and he said, "It seems that both of you are very confident, how about we make a bet?"

  "Bet? What bet?" Ouyang Lin and Wang Chenglun frowned.

  A light flashed from the depths of Ximenxue's eyes, and he said, "Let's bet that among our three teams, whichever team can achieve the best results, whoever wins, how about that?"

  When Wang Chenglun and Ouyang Lin heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they saw a glint of astonishment in their eyes at first, but the next moment, they both seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed out loud.

  "Just relying on you group of hillbillies, you want to bet with us on the rankings? This... You shouldn't be giving up on yourself, right?" Ouyang Lin sneered.

  Wang Chenglun was also full of mockery on his face.

  "What? Don't you dare?"

  Ximen Xue shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I think too highly of the two of you, thinking that both of them are very confident, but it turns out that they are just bluffing!"

  As he said that, he turned around and said as he walked, "Brothers, let's go, don't stand with these bravado guys, it will lower our status!"

  "What did you say!?"

  When Ouyang Lin and Wang Chenglun heard Ximenxue's ridicule, they couldn't help but look angry.

  "stop!"

  Ouyang Lin took two steps forward and said, "Okay! I bet! What if you lose, tell me!"

  Ximen Xue raised his head and said, "Okay, you have the courage! It's easy to lose! We have three sides, and the two sides who lost will all worship each other as teachers!"

  "what!?"

  "This...it's impossible!

  As soon as Ximen Xue's voice fell, everyone changed color.

  Whether it was the talented Jiangnan side or the Yongzhou side, they were all shocked and shook their heads.

  Ouyang Lin and Wang Chenglun also changed their faces.

  Obviously, they feel that this condition is too difficult to accept.

  "Don't you dare?"

  Ximen Xue said mockingly: "Aren't you still very confident just now? Don't you think you must be the champion? If you can become the champion, then what's there to worry about, aren't you sure to win? Since you are sure that you will win, then What's the harm in agreeing to this condition?"

  Ouyang Lin and Wang Chenglun's eyes were constantly flickering, and it was obvious that Ximenxue's words still moved them.

  And the two of them thought more deeply.

  If he not only won the position of champion, but also turned the other party's talents into his own students, doesn't it mean that the other party's people have also become his own?

  When they return to their lives, wouldn't they be more able to be pleasantly surprised by the Crown Prince or King Wei, and the rewards will be even greater?
