In two days, the news that a competition was to be held before the scientific examination spread throughout Xianyang City.
All those who want to take the imperial examination must register and confirm that their identity is correct before they can take the examination. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to participate, and they will not be allowed to continue to live in the city.
The most important thing is that one of them is that people who currently hold official positions are prohibited from taking the exam. Once found, their qualifications for the exam will be cancelled, they will be sent back to the local area, and they will no longer be officials.
This is terrible news for Liu Bang!
Moreover, as soon as this notice came out, it meant that there was not much time left for Hu Hai and Liu Bang, and they could no longer live in Hanmo Villa.
When Liu Bang came to Xianyang City, he came with great ambitions. He believed that he should not be just a small pavilion chief, but had a higher status and ambition.
As a result, my strength has not yet been proven, my ideals have not yet begun to be realized, and I am about to die in the middle.
"What should I do?"
"We must find a backer in the city. I can't just go back to Peixian County!"
Hu Hai could not understand Liu Bang's situation at this time. When he received the news, he ran to Liu Bang's room immediately, looking very anxious.
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't even look at Liu Bang, and immediately said: "Liu Bang, did you see the notice?"
"I'm afraid I can't stay here anymore, or something bad will happen!"
"We haven't found any trace of Zhao Gao's case yet, and the exam is about to begin. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this place."
"If someone finds out that I'm hiding here secretly, my father will definitely not let me go!"
"You say, how about I go back to the palace now and ask for forgiveness from my father?"
"And as for Zhao Gao's matter, I think it would be easier to go back and investigate."
Obviously, in the face of morality and interests, Hu Hai chose to protect himself without hesitation.
But Liu Bang also understood that it was the best choice for Hu Hai to go back, but what should he do?
Are you going back with Hu Hai?
But he was a little unwilling in his heart. He could see that Hu Hai had no talent. If he stayed with him, he was afraid that he would end up like Zhao Gao.
In the past few days in the city, he had almost completely investigated the relationship between the DPRK and China. He also knew clearly why Zhao Gao was imprisoned in the first place.
Therefore, he cannot go back and will not follow Hu Hai.
It's just that he hasn't decided where to go yet, but he won't leave just like that.
"In that case, Master, please go back in peace."
"I believe that Your Majesty will not embarrass you. If you are worried, you can ask Mr. Fusu to intercede for you. Mr. Fusu has been looking for your whereabouts in the past few days."
Hearing this, Hu Hai, who was about to leave, suddenly turned his head and looked at him, with disbelief written all over his face.
After a while, Hu Hai calmed down, looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going back with me?"
"You have taken such good care of me these past few days. I will definitely report it to my father and let him reward you."
"Maybe, my father will let you stay with me, so you don't have to go back to Pei County!"
"how?"
Liu Bang was shocked and told His Majesty that he was the one who deceived Hu Hai and hid here instead of letting him return to the palace?
I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage yet!
When the time comes, I'm afraid he will be thrown into prison without any reward, right? !
Thinking about it, he immediately shook his head.
"Young master, you don't have to be like this."
"It is Liu Bang's honor to be able to work for you. Please don't mention it to Your Majesty. I don't want to repay my kindness."
"If I am lucky enough to serve as an official in the court in the future, I hope that the young master can say good things to me."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully towards Hu Hai, and the rejection in it was very obvious.
Hu Hai, who originally wanted to say something, couldn't speak anymore when he saw this.
However, he still felt a little regretful.
"After Zhao Gao left, I thought you were willing to do things for me, but now it seems that you have other ideas in mind, so I won't force you to do anything for me."
"If you encounter any difficulties in Xianyang City in the future, you can still come to me."
Liu Bang nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."
As for other words, he didn't say anything in the end.
The people who had been monitoring them heard that Hu Hai was going back to the palace and immediately spread the news.
After receiving the news, Ran Fang directly informed Fusu of the matter and asked him to quietly take Hu Hai out of Hanmo Villa.
Otherwise, if people in the city find out, it will probably cause quite a shock.
Fusu did not dare to delay, and secretly brought Hu Hai to his house when no one was paying attention.
Unexpectedly, Hu Hai didn't appreciate it at all, and even asked Fusu in front of him why he wanted to put him under house arrest?
"Fusu, don't think I don't know. You first sent me out of Xianyang, then slandered Zhao Gao, and now you want to put me under house arrest. Aren't you just worried that I will threaten your position?"
"I will definitely report this matter to my father and let him punish you!"
"If I hadn't come back from Surabaya County, I wouldn't have known about your wolfish ambitions!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Hu Hai's expression became, as if he had already gotten hold of Fusu.
In this way, he can stand on the moral high ground and teach Fusu a lesson, making him understand that he is not something he can deal with at will!
Unexpectedly, Fusu sat on the chair and looked at Hu Hai calmly, not affected by him at all, and there was no angry expression on his face.
Waiting until Hu Hai finished venting, Fusu ordered someone to pour him a glass of water, and then slowly said: "If you hadn't gone to Sishui County, do you think you could have come out of Xianyang Prison?"
"The evidence for Zhao Gao's incident is conclusive, and it was ordered by my father himself. Is there any misunderstanding in it?"
"My father and I have known about your secret return from Sishui County for a long time. If I were not worried that your affairs at Hanmo Villa would cause riots, I would never have brought you out!"
"You must have heard what people said that day in front of the villa. The exam is about to begin. If people know that you are among them, do you know what kind of impact it will have?"
Hu Hai doesn't like to use his brain, it's not that he has no brain.
After hearing what Fusu said, he immediately understood why Fusu took him out.
After a moment, he looked at Fusu doubtfully and said, "You already knew that I was at Hanmo Villa?"
"Um."
"What about Father? Already know?"
"right."
Hu Hai was a little surprised. He thought he was hiding well. Even his father's guards did not notice him hiding in the city for such a long time.
Unexpectedly, they knew it all along, but they just didn't want to see him.
"Then why don't you take me back to the palace?"
