Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

Immediately, the mud bodhisattva bent his fingers and buckled the table three times.

Zhu Qizhen didn't wrinkle.

This is saluting by clasping his head with his hands. This man who looks like a beggar actually recognized his identity.

"This old magic stick really has two tricks."

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself.

However, before Zhu Qizhen could ask again, Ni Bodhisattva stood up suddenly: "Everyone, your chief examiner for this subject is here, I advise you to avoid it."

After saying that, he drifted away, as if he didn't want to have too much interaction with Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and whispered to Wei Zhongxian: "Find a secluded place, and we will have a cup of tea here today."

"Your Majesty, the beggar?"

Wei Zhongxian reminded.

"Don't worry about him, we will definitely meet again in the future."

Zhu Qizhen was dressed in regular clothes and it was not appropriate to reveal his identity, so he slightly bowed his hands to Xie Qian and the three of them: "I won't bother the three brothers."

"Brother, please go ahead."

All three of Xie Qian bowed their hands.

Gu Dingchen suddenly said: "The man just now seemed to be a bit godlike. Look, the one sitting by the window is the chief examiner of this subject, Minister of Rites Zhao Hengchen."

Hearing this, both Xie Qian and Lun Wenxu were shocked.

Looking along Gu Dingchen's hand, there is indeed a middle-aged scholar with gray temples sitting at a secluded square table by the window.

As expected, it was Zhao Hengchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites!

"Brother, are you also a candidate for this exam?" Xie Qian asked.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly.

The three turned and left, wanting to leave the Zhuangyuan building, but after walking a few steps, Xie Qian still kindly reminded: "Li Xia Guada, the chief examiner of this subject is here. As candidates, it's better to avoid suspicion."

"Thank you for reminding me, brother, but I'm waiting for someone here, and I can't leave yet."

Zhu Qizhen cupped his hands and smiled, and made up a reason.

"Okay, brother, take care."

The three of them bowed their hands towards Zhu Qizhen, said nothing, and went downstairs quietly.

Chapter 79 The Examiner Buys Exam Questions

"These three candidates have good character, but I don't know if they have real talents."

Regarding the risk-avoiding behavior of the three of Xie Qian, Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly.

However, the imperial examinations are based on talents. Candidates from all over the country must have real talents and real learning. Otherwise, it is impossible for the imperial court to admit them.

Xie Qian, Gu Dingchen, and Lun Wenxu just walked to the stairs.

A person came towards them, and said to the three mysteriously: "Three Juren masters, do you want high school Jinshi, do you want to buy fame?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and said at the same time: "Buying fame?"

The man smiled, took out an envelope from his pocket, and said with a chuckle, "It's all inside. It was supposed to sell for 300 taels of silver per person, but since there are three of you, let's make it 250 taels per person."

The three of Xie Qian looked at each other and looked at each other.

Gu Dingchen asked in surprise: "Could it be... an exam question?!"

The man made a silent motion, then nodded.

Xie Qian flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "I met a fairy just now, and now another fairy has come! The emperor hasn't come out with the exam questions yet! Brother Gu, Brother Lun, let's go."

The man shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, I missed a fame."

Hearing these words, Wei Zhongxian who was beside Zhu Qizhen was startled.

"Your Majesty, do you see...?"

"Don't startle the snakes just yet."

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea lightly, and then looked at a secluded window. Now that he knows the exam questions, apart from him, the emperor who set the questions, it seems that the chief examiner is the only one.

Zhu Qizhen also wanted to see it.

What is Zhao Hengchen doing here today?

The exam questions in that person's pocket are just cheating candidates out of money, or are they real?

If it is true, then this matter is big!

Walking to the counter, Xie Qian greeted the shopkeeper: "As usual, today's expenses will be charged to my account."

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said with a sneer: "Master Xie, today...you should pay in cash today."

"What? Afraid my family has no money?"

Xie Qian's face darkened.

The shopkeeper hurriedly laughed and said: "How can I! Who doesn't know that your old man's money can buy a street, but well, your old man sent someone to say hello, saying that from today onwards, he will pay you all I don't recognize...do you see?"

Hearing this, Xie Qian's face suddenly turned pale, and he stayed where he was for a long time without saying a word.

Lun Wenxu said, "How much? I'll pay!"

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, showing a humble smile: "It's not much, it's only five or two or three dollars. Young Master Xie is a regular customer, so the three dollars will be waived."

Lun Wenxu untied the purse from his waist, loosened the mouth of the bag, and dumped it on the counter.

The shopkeeper picked up the pieces of silver one by one, counted them, his face turned ugly, and he tilted his head and said, "It's only three taels of silver!"

Lun Wenxu also became embarrassed.

Gu Dingchen hurriedly took out all the broken silver.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper counted and said, "It's still one or two short!"

Seeing this, without further ado, Xie Qian took off his sable fur brocade robe, threw it on the counter, and said coldly, "Is this enough?"

After saying that, without looking back, he walked out quickly.

Gu Dingchen and Lun Wenxu also bowed their heads to follow.

In the restaurant, Zhao Hengchen ordered two dishes and a jug of wine, and drank by himself there, secretly looking at the people in the restaurant with his eyes from time to time.

Zhu Qizhen asked Wei Zhongxian to call a private room, but Zhao Hengchen didn't find out.

However, he can see clearly the things outside.

The man who sold the test questions came upstairs and stood at the top of the stairs, looking around, looking for customers.

Zhao Hengchen took off his purse and threw the heavy bag of silver on the table, which immediately attracted the attention of the seller.

He walked to Zhao Hengchen's table and asked with a smile: "Master Juren, can the younger one take a seat?"

"sit down."

Zhao Hengchen drank a glass of wine alone.

The question seller cupped his hands, sat down, looked around first, and then lowered his voice, "Master Juren, do you want to buy fame?"

Zhao Hengchen's heart skipped a beat immediately.

"Sure enough, there is such a thing!"

This morning, he got news that someone in the Zhuangyuan building was selling the exam questions for this exam, so he came here to take a look.

Never thought I'd actually come across it!

On that day, the emperor wrote down the exam questions with his own hands and handed them to him. He didn't even open them, and sealed the exam questions in the Gongyuan that day.

Therefore, even he, the chief examiner, did not know what the examination questions were until today.

But I heard that someone in the Zhuangyuan Building is selling exam questions, which is really strange!

Zhao Hengchen was dressed as a scribe, and asked calmly, "What price?"

The question seller smiled: "300 taels per person."

Zhao Hengchen frowned: "Why did I just hear that it was 250 taels?"

The question seller chuckled and explained, "Just now, the three of them bought it together, and that's the price."

"My master is not short of money, but I only pay two hundred and fifty taels. If you don't sell it, forget it."

Zhao Hengchen drank another glass of wine, without even looking at the seller.

The question seller thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, since Master Ju Ren is straightforward, I'll be more straightforward, and we'll make a deal."

With that said, he sent the envelope over.

Zhao Hengchen didn't answer, but asked, "Why is my test question true or false?"

The question seller took his time and explained with a smile: "Master Juren, you won't believe what I say now."

"However, I can reveal a little bit to you."

"The chief examiner of the current major examination is Zhao Hengchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy examiner is Li Weihan, the censor of the right capital, right?"

The seller asked mysteriously.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Rites said that Youdu Yushi was appointed as the chief and deputy examiner of this big exam. This is a well-known fact in the world. What can it explain?"

Zhao Hengchen asked back.

"Hey, but Zhao Hengchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is a classmate and friend of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet. He is the chief examiner, and he is supported by the cabinet chief. It was recommended by the deputy Xu Jie."

The person selling the question lowered his voice: "How is it? Is there a reason for what I said?"

Zhao Hengchen was secretly startled.

Although he and Li Weihan were personally appointed by the emperor, he knew that Yan Song and Xu Jie had secretly exerted a lot of energy in order to facilitate this matter.

Hearing that the person selling the question said so accurately at this moment, he immediately felt that this person had a lot of background.

Moreover, this matter not only involved him and Youdu Yushi, but also involved the chief minister of the cabinet and the minister of the cabinet. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hengchen couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

He pushed the money bag on the table over, and said in a muffled voice, "250 taels of silver, it's all inside."

"I wish Master Juren the title of the gold list, and a high school Jinshi."

The seller didn't untie the money and count it, but after taking the money bag and handing the envelope to Zhao Hengchen, he turned around and left.

After the question seller left, Zhao Hengchen stood up immediately: "Xiaoer, pay the bill!"

After throwing down a few taels of silver, he hurried downstairs.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back to the palace. I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep now."

Zhu Qizhen sighed secretly, and said to Wei Zhongxian

Chapter 80 Dispelling the secrets of the heavens

In the palace of Qianqing, in the palace of nourishing the heart.

Zhu Qizhen looked through the historical records.

This is a book about the origin and prosperity of the Yehenala tribe and the Aixinjueluo tribe, and records the grievances and hatred between these two tribes.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Zhu Qizhen is very clear about this truth.

It is recorded in the book:

As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yehenala tribe lived by the Yehe River in Liaodong. For nearly a hundred years, they have lived here for generations.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the peasants revolted.

Resist the tyrannical rule of Yuanmeng.
