"Oh? Who are they?"
Chen Ziyu suddenly became interested, put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Yan and asked.
"There are Lord Wang Ao, Lord Liu Jian, Bachelor Xie Qian, Bachelor Li Dongyang, Lord Wang Hua, Lord Zhang Sheng and Zhang. As for the others, I can't remember them!"
Li Yan honestly told the news he heard one by one!
After hearing what Li Yan said, Chen Ziyu's eyes immediately turned darkly, thinking that these people were really well-informed.
These people on the list have been mentioned in Nuan Pavilion today. As for the unmentioned Zhang Sheng, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, there is indeed a certain possibility of presiding over the examination, because the Ministry of Rites is solely responsible for the imperial examination!
Now that I know the inside information in advance, if I make a bet at this time, I will make a lot of money!
In addition, I also know this year’s test questions. If I sell these test questions...
As soon as this idea came into Chen Ziyu's mind, he was startled and shook his head quickly. He didn't dare to have such an idea!
You must know that in this era, fraud in the imperial examination is the most serious thing besides rebellion!
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go! Whoever gets involved will die!
Chen Zi thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Who among these people has the loudest voice?"
Li Yan blurted out without hesitation: "Master, I heard that Lord Wang Ao has the loudest voice, and Lord Wang Hua has the lowest voice!"
Chen Ziyu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why does Wang Hua have the lowest voice?"
"I heard that it's because his son will take part in the examination, so in order to avoid suspicion, the court will most likely not let Wang Hua be the examiner!"
Chen Ziyu nodded, this is indeed the truth!
After all, Great Sage Wang's knowledge is quite good. If he really wins the first prize and is mentioned by someone who cares about it, although it won't have any impact, it will be somewhat annoying!
However, Chen Ziyu knew very well that the number one winner this time was not Wang Shouren, but someone else!
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyu immediately nodded, stared at Li Yan and said: "Tomorrow you go to the accounting office to withdraw as much money as you can. If the accounting office doesn't give it to you, just say that I want it, and then deposit it all." Grand Scholar Li, do you understand?"
"Ah?" Li Yan suddenly became anxious, "Young Master, are you confused? Although Academician Li may be the examiner, Master Wang Ao, as well as Academicians Liu and Xie are all more vocal than Academician Li. Great! Master, isn’t this a gift of money?”
Chen Ziyu looked at Li Yan sideways, thinking of those self-proclaimed stock market experts in later generations. When talking about the stock market, they were very clear about which stocks would rise and which stocks would fall. Their analysis was very clear, but they never got it right. Several times!
"You're like a dog! Can't you understand what the young master is saying? Get out!"
"..."
Li Yan was so frightened that he ran out crawling and rolling!
After Li Yan left, Chen Ziyu was almost done eating and threw his chopsticks on the table.
Seeing this, Xiaocui immediately stepped forward to pack it up and took it out. After a while, she brought a basin of hot water for Chen Ziyu to wash up.
Chen Ziyu sat on the chair and saw Xiaocui squatting on the ground washing her feet diligently. Chen Ziyu complained about the evil feudalism in his heart, making himself more and more depraved!
Night life in ancient times was always so scarce. Apart from reading books, the only option was to go to bed.
However, Chen Ziyu had no interest in reading. After all, he did not need to take the imperial examination.
After staring at Xiaocui for a while, Chen Ziyu decided to go to bed. After all, he would have to continue his work at Zhan Shifu tomorrow!
There was no words all night, except for some heavy breathing!
...
The next day, Liu Jin arrived early outside Pingjiang Uncle's Mansion, with a young man dressed as a scholar standing next to him.
"Your Highness, you left the palace privately. If Your Majesty blames you, this servant will not be able to bear it!"
Liu Jin was crying all the way and kept talking in Zhu Houzhao's ears.
The reason was that Zhu Houzhao wanted to leave the palace with Liu Jin, and Liu Jin was immediately frightened to death. It would have been fine if it had been done before, but Emperor Hongzhi somehow knew about this, so he issued an order not to allow the prince to leave the palace privately!
Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin impatiently, "You bitch slave, don't be nagging! If you don't tell me about this, and if I don't tell you, how will my father know?"
Just as the master and servant were muttering, the door of Pingjiang Uncle's Mansion opened from the inside, and Chen Ziyu appeared at the door wearing a unicorn suit.
Seeing Chen Ziyu appear, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand excitedly, "Old Chen, here!"
Chen Ziyu, who was still sleepy at first, looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw Liu Jin, his eyes turned to the young man aside and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared!
Damn it, this guy actually slipped out of the palace!
Even came to my own home!
If his father-in-law knew about this, wouldn't it be like a big pot lid falling from the sky!
"Your Highness, why are you here!"
Chen Ziyu came to Zhu Houzhao's side in three steps, with a look of disbelief on his face!
Zhu Houzhao looked extremely excited when he saw Chen Ziyu. Without raising his head, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Chen Ziyu. He said brightly: "Well, this is the debt I owe. There are five articles in total! It took the palace two hours to finish the copy last night!"
Chen Ziyu pursed his lips, spread it out and saw that it was indeed the original work of Zhu Houzhao, and the content seemed to come from "Mencius"!
No one else but him could have written those words that were like a dog crawling!
As for Liu Jingu Dayong and others, he said bluntly that if they had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, they would at least be successful!
To be able to go directly from an unknown little eunuch to the center of power, in addition to being witty, knowledge is also extremely important!
After all, these people will need to share government affairs for Zhu Houzhao in the future, and write criticisms and so on.
If you don't have a certain academic foundation, there will be no chance of getting ahead!
"Your Highness, you are indeed a man of your word!"
Chen Ziyu gave Zhu Houzhao a thumbs up, then folded these "authentic works" and stuffed them into his arms!
Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel happy, he was debt-free and light-hearted!
Then he pointed to the carriage behind him and said, "Let's go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to see fish today!"
Chen Ziyu was still a little worried, so he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, what if His Majesty knows that you sneaked out?"
"What's the point!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "If my father really blames me, just say that Liu Banban encouraged me to sneak out of the palace!"
Damn it!
Chen Ziyu was stunned! It was the first time he had ever seen someone swaying the blame so confidently!
He thought to himself, what kind of virtue did Liu Jin have from his ancestors to meet such an unreliable person?
Chen Ziyu couldn't help but take a glance and saw Liu Jin's face turned green. She was so frightened that she lay on the ground begging for mercy!
Seeing that Liu Jin was so useless, Zhu Houzhao was furious and immediately kicked Liu Jin, "Get up, you useless thing!"
He felt that Liu Jin's behavior was really embarrassing him in front of Chen Ziyu.
Liu Jin didn't dare to say anything after being kicked by Zhu Houzhao. She quickly got up from the ground and bent down to help Zhu Houzhao get into the car!
Chen Ziyu also got into the carriage right after him!
