Xu Donghai had a look of indeed such an expression on his face. That day, after the county trial was completed, he pointed out the case in advance, and a classmate asked him if there was any private fraud behind him?

At that time, Xu Donghai's answer was that he didn't know. After all, he had left the back door and his butt was not clean. It was a bit shameless to call him to catch him without any evidence.

Although Xu Donghai is arrogant and has a sense of superiority as a child of an official, he still has a basic moral bottom line for literati.

Moreover, his favoritism was just to establish a good relationship with the examiner, and he hinted whether he could win the case. There was no big problem with real talent and knowledge, and it was much better than fraud in the imperial examination.

Today I saw that several people in the Chengguo Duke’s Mansion’s private school passed the county examination, and all of them were relatives of the Zhu clan, including Chen Yichen. If this is nothing wrong, it would be an insult to others’ IQ!

But for some reason, Xu Donghai felt relieved. It seemed that Chen Yichen was not more knowledgeable than himself, but was more powerful than him in his father!

"Donghai, should we report this kind of thing to the Confucian scholarship department?"

Another student from Zhaowen Academy was also full of dissatisfaction at this moment.

These people studied hard for several years in the best academy in Yingtian Mansion, but could only watch the Xuqi clan easily take it. The unfair anger filled the hearts.

"Do you have evidence?"

Xu Donghai asked a brief question. He knew the other party's clan of honor and relatives very well. If there was no evidence to report it with a mouth, he might even be beaten back.

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng, is at its peak now, and even Duke Wei, who is the best in honor of the great and relatives, is temporarily at a disadvantage. Who dares to get into trouble at this time?

When it comes to evidence, the answer is very obvious. It is not easy to find evidence for the imperial examination fraud. No matter how unwilling you are, you can only hold it back.

"Don't worry, the net of heaven is vast and unlimited. They are so unscrupulous that they will eventually be exposed."

Xu Donghai believed that the clan children of Duke Cheng Guo would never stop in the county examination. After all, even a child student was not considered a child in the county examination, let alone a formal fame like a scholar.

Therefore, the next provincial examination and even the final college examination will definitely continue to be admitted, and the situation will always be revealed.

Chen Yichen didn't know that the students of Zhaowen Academy looked at him like this. If they knew, they would probably vomit three liters of blood depressedly.

The clan relatives of the inner courtyard and the private school are almost the same as their mortal enemies. Even if they are disliked by the fraud of the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with them. Besides, if you want to talk about the Zhu clan relatives, what does it have to do with me, Chen Yichen? When did my name appear in the genealogy?

The golden signboard of Duke Cheng Guo was not profitable, but the blame was brought on.

Zhu Qingyu and others saw Chen Yichen walking towards him, their faces were full of provocation. Now there is no protection for the generals of the outer school, so just this maid is not just a casual control?

"Hey, it's a coincidence that I've never seen you bring some younger brothers today?"

Zhu Yuqing spoke up and teased Li Da and others for failing the county examination. He also reminded Chen Yichen that he was alone now, so it would be better to be honest.

"It's not surprising that my classmates didn't come. It's quite surprising that you all came to participate in the house exam."

Chen Yichen never bothered to pretend to be polite for those who had broken up, so he simply pointed to the other party's pain points.

Just as Xu Donghai suspected, Chen Yichen also did not believe in these guys, and did not regard himself and the other party as the same camp as the Duke's Mansion, completely ignoring the influence and face.

"Chen Yichen, you can eat randomly, and you can't talk randomly."

Zhu Qingyu naturally understood what Chen Yichen meant. Even if everyone knew this kind of thing, it would never be exposed on the surface. Especially now that many candidates are present, they have caused chaos in the scholars, and no one can protect themselves.

You should know that the ruling class in ancient society was most afraid of being scholars gathered to cause trouble. When the trouble broke out, the emperor would send important officials to appease him.

Take the most famous imperial examination list in the Ming Dynasty. Because the northern and southern examinations were dissatisfied with the protests, Zhu Yuanzhang even refused to help but kill the new top scholar and the admission chief examiner in order to stabilize the situation.

Chen Yichen said this as soon as he spoke, but he really didn't regard himself as a member of the Duke's Mansion. It was obvious that he wanted to overturn the table.

"What, did I hit something?"

Zhu Yuqing was scruples, but Chen Yichen didn't. He even put on a playful smile, intending to take a good look at the other person's ugly appearance.

"you……"

Zhu Yuqing wanted to fight back, but because he had a ghost in his heart, he didn't dare to argue on this topic.

This is different from the outside world's doubts. If someone else wants to say that the family members of the Chenggong Mansion have committed fraud, it is slander. However, Chen Yichen is the son of Chenggong Zhu Yong. If even he said this, what a shocking wave would be caused when the news spreads?

"If you don't dare to speak, just shut up and keep being blind in front of me from now on. If you believe it or not, I will ask someone to beat you up?"

Chen Yichen has simply let go of himself now. The children of military generals in the outer school and the private school can basically be considered as their younger brothers.

It used to be called pure mouth cannon, but now I really have the ability to beat people up.

After saying that, he simply took a few steps forward and went to the first stop of the second sign. Zhu Yuqing squeezed directly behind.

Today, Zhu Yuqing had seen what a change of the world means. A maid who was not even considered a scallion in the Duke's Mansion was now even more arrogant than the authentic legitimate son.

But in such an occasion, I can’t do anything to him. Without such an occasion, I can’t beat Chen Yichen now even if I call someone!

How could this world be so miserable?

As time goes by, the candidates have arrived, and the gantry of Xiajiang examination room has been opened wide, and everyone enters the market in order of orderly signing. The whole process is like the previous county examination.

After Chen Yichen found out that he was right, he walked into the "Duzhi Building" again. However, the examiners sitting in the hall this time were no longer the former county magistrate Zhou, but Li Min, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

Yingtian Prefecture belongs to one of the two capitals, and its political status is similar to that of later municipalities, so the official configuration is also high-level.

Generally, the chiefs of other prefectures can only be called prefects, while Shuntian and Yingtian's prefects belong to the third rank, and they can also have the name Yin, and they are respectfully called Prefects.

"Chen Yichen, a student from Jiangning County, pays homage to the prefect."

"Chen Yichen, I haven't seen you for some time."

As soon as this sentence came out, it was no less than the "little friend" of Magistrate Zhou that day. Du Shi, the examiner's chief examiner next to Li Min, and Sima Yun, professor of Yingtian Prefecture, looked at him one after another. When would the prefect become so familiar with a school child?

"I was fortunate to be missed by the prefect, and the students were flattered."

Chen Yichen immediately showed a look of panic. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, he would have thought that he had any contact with Li Min in private.

Of course, these expressions are all pretended. Compared with Zhou Zhixian County, he may have a deeper impression of Li Fu Yin. After all, he shined at the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference that day, but he was praised by this Li Fu Yin many times, and with the halo of Lin Zhen's disciple, it is not surprising that he was looked up at today.

Sure enough, hearing Chen Yichen's words, Li Min smiled and replied, "I remember your calm and restrained look that day, and I don't have to be too restrictive today."

Like Chen Yichen, Li Min had a deep impression of him. Compared with the competitive competition among other participants, Chen Yichen was extremely low-key throughout the process, and was introverted and calm, which was very popular among others.

In addition, what is the secondary thing about the favor is Chen Yichen's Feihua Ling and the lyrics and music "Jin Mingchi", which can be regarded as the best in the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival in recent years.

Such a talented young man even became the top scholar as his teacher, and it would be difficult for Li Min to not pay attention to it.

"Yes, the students are grateful for their love."

"Ha ha……"

When Li Min heard Chen Yichen admit it calmly, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Min has been in charge of the prefecture exam for two or three times. When other candidates meet the prefect, they look supreme. Sometimes when they meet the children of high-ranking officials, although they are no longer afraid, the superior playboy in their bones also makes people feel uncomfortable.

Only Chen Yichen has a good balance between the two, neither humble nor arrogant.

Moreover, this kid was so frightened that he turned into a showdown and stopped pretending to be like this. No candidate could act so naturally and easily when facing him.

Sure enough, a talented person must be extraordinary!

"Ahem..."

Du Shi, the chief of the examiner next to him, saw that Li Min had crossed the boundaries and hinted with a few coughs.

When Li Min noticed Du Shi’s reminder, he also reacted, so he said seriously: “Well, I know that you are the head of the county case. I hope to win the championship again this time, go in.”

"Sir Xie Fuyin, the student surrendered."

Looking at Chen Yichen's back leaving, Du Shi leaned slightly and said, "Mr. Gong, are you familiar with this candidate?"

"I'm not familiar with it. He seized the leader at the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference that day."

"So it's this Chen Yichen."

The mature and persistent professor of the Ministry said, after hearing Li Min's words, he took the lead.

As a school official, it is naturally inconvenient for occasions like brothels and brothels. He could only hear some news about Chen Yichen from students or others.

In addition, it has been almost half a year since the Winter Solstice Poetry Festival, so I don’t have a deep impression of the name Chen Yichen, so I didn’t associate the candidate with the name at once.

However, the professor of the Ministry of Education was deeply impressed by Chen Yichen's two poems, "Linjiangxian" and "Jin Mingchi". No wonder the prefect paid tribute to this candidate so much. If it were him, he would probably have to treat him differently!

"Oh, Professor Sima also knows this Chen Yichen?"

Seeing the professor of the Ministry of Education who is usually very strict in Taoism, Li Min looked a little moved, so he asked with interest.

"I have heard of two poems by this son's poems, and they are brilliant in writing and can be called masterpieces of the times."

"The Xiaguan also remembered that this boy is indeed a young talent, no wonder the prefect is so fond of him."

The palace chief Du Shi suddenly realized that he had a great idea. He connected the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference and two lyrics, and finally remembered who Chen Yichen was.

"I do have talent, but whether I can favor it depends on the article or not."
