028 First sight

When Fuhai led He Xuan outside the imperial study and asked her to wait for Hou Zhi outside the door, He Xuan felt that she was just a vulgar person. Originally, she thought that she would be calm no matter where she went, but now she only came to the door, she was so nervous that even the palm of her hand sweated coldly.

After a while, Fuhai came out again.

He Xuan gently pulled Lafuhai's clothes: "Fare-in-law..."

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for the first time to be a little nervous. If you talk less, you will lose more words. Fu Hai whispered.

"Yes. In case a few people say something wrong, your father-in-law must help.

"Don't worry." Fuhai said with a smile.

When the will came from inside and Xuan Hexuan entered, He Xuan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

People are often like this. They are nervous when they are in battle, but when they must really start, maybe things will be reversed, and this tension will completely disappear.

After He Xuan walked into the imperial study, although she had been walking cautiously with her head down, it could also be seen from the ground that the imperial study was full of people...

"Your Majesty, today's imperial examination son He Xuan brought it." After Fuhai entered the house, he stood up and said.

When He Xuan heard her name, she quickly knelt down, kowtowed her head first, and then asked An, "He Xuan, a commoner, see the emperor. Long live my emperor."

"Get up." Han Mingyue said in an indifferent voice to He Xuan, who was kneeling below.

"Thank you, Emperor." He Xuan kowtowed her head again before standing up, still bowing her head and standing with her hands down.

"Zhang Jin, this witness has arrived. If you have anything to ask, please ask carefully in front of me." Han Mingyue ordered to take the tea from the dragon case and slowly taste the tea.

"I take the order." With that, Zhang Jin walked to He Xuan and asked, "Your name is He Xuan?"

"Yes."

"Where are you from?"

"I live in the southwest suburbs of Kyoto. My father's ancestor is Jiangnan.

"Let me ask you, who was and where did you send the test questions to you that day?"

"Lord, Xiaomin took a nap in the 'Shengyi Building' in the city and met a Taoist priest by chance. The title was sent by the Taoist priest.

"Do you know where he is a Taoist priest?"

"He reported that the mountain gate is the Qingping view of Xishan."

"Have you seen him before?"

"Never met!"

"Did you see that Taoist priest again after that day? Do you know where the Taoist priest is now?"

"After that day, until yesterday's big comparison, Xiaomin never saw the Taoist priest who sent the topic. As for where he is now..."

Before He Xuan finished answering, he heard Zuo Liang's voice inserting in: "Lord Zhang, yesterday, when I ordered He Xuan to lead me and his men to Xishan, I found that the Taoist priest had been killed and has been stored in the funeral room of the city's defense gate as physical evidence."

Hearing his voice, He Xuan knew that Zuo Liang was also in this imperial study. Thinking about it, his judgment on the way was right. Sure enough, the emperor did not believe that the omission had anything to do with the Zuo family. The reason why Zuo Liang answered was that he was afraid that He Xuan would quickly tell him what she followed outside the imperial city.

Zhang Jin talked to Zuo Liang and asked He Xuan, "Why are you going to Xishan?"

"Your Excellency, when the Taoist priest sent the question on that day, he reported the address of the people's home and even the test results. And I have asked the people to try to get together at Qingpingguan.

"Since the title has been changed, why do you still want to go to Qingpingguan?"

"Curiosity."

"You have been to Xishan, but the Taoist died in Xishan. Isn't that what you did?"

"I dare to protect that it was not He Xuan!" At this time, I only heard Zuo Liang say.

"How did General Zuo know?" Zhang Jin asked.

"Yesterday, I have ordered a company to examine the body, and the autopsy document has archived it in the patrol office. There is evidence to prove that this matter was not done by He Xuan. Lord Zhang can see it at a look."

Hearing this, Zhang Jin nodded and then replied, "Your Majesty, I don't have any questions for the time being."

In fact, this Jin knows that the emperor is like this today, but he is just pretending in front of those imperial historians. The emperor's nature is peaceful. Thinking that this omission has not caused any major consequences, he must want to calm down and not want to kill. Naturally, I followed his idea and asked a few words.

Unexpectedly, this Jin had just returned, and the emperor had time to speak. Another one stood up and said, "Weichen also has a few words. I want to ask this student, I don't know if your majesty is accurate?"

Han Mingyue looked up, but it was Zhu Feng, the imperial historian today.

Han Mingyue nodded with a smile, but said "um", but thought to himself: It seems that this must be entrusted by the Empress Dowager and vowed to make some articles on this matter. If Zhu Feng is not allowed to ask questions, it is bound to arouse a lot of suspicions. It's better to take this opportunity to try the person in front of him to see if it is in the middle. The person who uses it is also good.

At this time, I only heard Zhu Feng say, "I heard that the Gongyuan had three physical examinations on that day, and they had not found the clip from you, but is it true?"

"It's not true!"

He Xuan replied that although she did not look up, the emperor's "um" just now had made He Xuan hear the unhappiness. Instead, it is not to take the opportunity for the emperor to make an impression on himself so that he can get closer in the future.

This sentence attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh? Is it possible that someone is selfish?" Zhu Feng thought he had got the handle and quickly asked.

"I'm not telling the truth, but the adult's words are not comprehensive. It's not that the people don't have any clip, but they don't bring anything except themselves, including pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and all the tribute courtyard.

Hearing this, Zhu Feng's face changed. He obviously felt that the rest of the courtiers present were laughing at him, and he also felt that He Xuan was playing with him.

"Hmm, you are a sharp-toothed person. I don't think you have told the truth about what Zhang Shangshu just said. Since the big comparison, how can anyone put the dragon gate to not jump? Who doesn't want to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky? It's not because you go to Xishan, but because the test questions are wrong, and you are dissatisfied with poisoning.

After hearing this, Zuo Liang just wanted to speak, but he heard He Xuan reply, "Your Excellency Mingjian. The people always thought that the imperial examination was set up by the country to choose a virtuous minister, but they didn't expect that it was what the adults meant. The heart of reference is really not to take this opportunity to ascend to the sky, so it is impossible to understand what the adult said. The lord also said that I went to Xishan to poison him. Just now, Lord Zuo also said that there was evidence to prove that he did not do it. Why should you be in a hurry for a while? When the document is delivered, it will be clear.

"Okay. The latter words, let's count it as your pass. Why did you refer to the first half of the sentence?

"The next is to teach the people of Li, and the first is to be loyal to the king and serve the country." Speaking of this, He Xuan suddenly thought of the words that Qiu Shi usually talked about, and simply took it to use.

"If there is no Jinxiu article, how can you talk about education?"

Hearing this, He Xuan smiled disdainfully and said, "Your Excellency, this is also absurd. To teach the people, they should be virtuous and practiced. It is not enough to recite Confucius and write eight articles. Thinking of adults dealing with political affairs day by day, they don't rely on their backs to cure floods, resist droughts, soothe people's hearts, and calm people's livelihoods!"

"You...forced words to reason!"

"Well... That's a little far away. Does Zhu Yushi have anything else to ask about the imperial examination? If not, I have a few words to talk to this student.

Although this was soft, everyone could hear that the emperor was a little impatient, so Zhu Feng had to stop and stand back to the line.

"I heard that the reason why the left prime minister was able to know about the topic before the exam is entirely because of your reminder, and I think you are also a meritorious person. You don't have to be afraid. I called you here today. I just want to prove something from you.

"When returning to the emperor, the grassroots did not know that it was an undergraduate test. If it is said to be meritorious, it should also be that Prime Minister Zuo's heart is as careful as hair, and the grass people dare not make contributions.

After listening to He Xuan's words, Han Ming smiled more and said, "You are a person who is not greedy. However, since you don't think it's a real question, why do you always remember the question?

"When I returned to the emperor, I remember the title, but it was because someone told a joke with the people when I received the title that day, so the note was not thrown away casually, and the title was remembered."

"Oh? What kind of joke, let me listen to it.

"Yes. On that day, when the grass people took a nap in a wine shop, a noble man told the grass people that the words of those warlocks were untrustworthy. Every year of comparison, it was the day when all kinds of immortals went down to the earth.

As soon as He Xuan's words fell, someone laughed. Almost at the same time, Han Mingyue also laughed and only heard him ask, "It seems that this joke is more useful than me!"

Hearing the word "Xian Wang", He Xuan almost wanted to look up and take a closer look. Isn't Nan Xian Wang a "idle" king who ignores the dynasty? Why are you in this imperial study today?

I only heard Han Yunzhen say, "Your Majesty, the reason why I laughed is that He Xuan added some more words of the minister that day. Although it is not misinterpreted, it is even more exquisite.

"Is the noble son he said to be the emperor's nephew?"

"It's Weichen."

"What do you want to say for He Xuan?" Han Mingyue asked.

Han Yunzhen said, "Your Majesty, I only have two sides of the relationship with He Xuan, and I don't have a deep friendship, but I also know that he is upright and disdains those camp things."

"It's rare! It seems that He Xuan is really not in the pool. There are really few people who can praise me, my dustless nephew, so far. He Xuan, raise your head and let me see you."

"Once you return, the people's livelihood is so vulgar that you may humiliate the holy eyes."

"It doesn't matter."

Hearing this, He Xuan dared to raise her head, but only lowered her head for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, everyone could see it clearly, especially the emperor on the throne, who saw He Xuan's appearance and smiled unconsciously.
