Although she knew that Yuwen He wouldn't go crazy in public, she still couldn't help but worry that this eccentric emperor would go back on his normal path and make some weird scene.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Ruyue was the happiest of all, Yuwen Chenglian did not appear here today.

He didn't know when he would come out, but it was already good that he wasn't here.

"The purpose of the National Scholar Examination is to select the best students. Since the three of you are able to stand out amongst the thousands of students participating in the examination, you have your own outstanding points."

Yuwen He's gaze swept across Du Ziheng and the other two, finally landing on Xiao Ruyue's face, and said slowly:

"You guys have already displayed your literary talent during the examination. The main examiner, Yue Xiang and the proctor, Xiao Shang Shu, have also approved of your essay. There's no need to repeat the same thing in today's Hall Competition."

Hearing this, Du Ziheng and Cui Jingxuan's backs became stiff, and they did not even dare to breathe loudly.

"Then your Majesty's meaning is …" The moment Yuwen He finished speaking, Yue Xiang asked immediately.

He was, after all, the organizer of the examination, so it was natural for him to be concerned.

But when Xiao Ruyue looked at Yue Xiang, this old man couldn't help but look towards Xiao Ruyue. His eyes seemed to be saying, "The Empress is in the Hall Competition, is it really appropriate to make such a difficult decision?"

Could it be that Yue Xiang felt that the essay she was writing in the meeting was written by someone else?

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He who was seated and almost laughed out loud.

In Yue Xiang's heart, perhaps the one who gave her the gift was the handsome and handsome monarch.

It was a huge injustice.

This was the first time Du Ziheng and Cui Jingxuan met each other, and also the first time that they had met each other. They both had their heads bowed, nervous to the point where they couldn't even speak, so naturally they couldn't care less to see what state she was in.

Yuwen He looked at Xiao Ruyue with a helpless look, and then looked at Yue Xiang and said: "Yue Xiang is the government's support, you should be clear about the situation of Da Xia. The talent chosen by the National Scholars is naturally to seek the welfare of the people for the sake of the people, isn't that so? "

His pupils were clear and cold, and his tone was calm. Every word he spoke was as heavy as Mt. Tai.

There was nothing Yue Xiang could say to that, he could only stammeringly nod his head, "Your Majesty is wise."

The others also echoed in agreement, "Your Majesty is wise."

The corner of Yuwen He's mouth rose slightly. It was unknown if he was laughing or ridiculing her.

He picked up two memorials and waved them on the side, saying: "Jingzhou has made a judgement on this matter, impeaching the history of Jingzhou's assassinations: taking bribes in private, selling the officials away; taking advantage of the fact that the history of Jingzhou has also turned into a false accusation against him, the real seller was the one who made the judgement on this matter, and accused the Jingzhou of usurping the good lands of the people, and taking the women of the people as well."

"There was a stalemate between the two sides, so we sent a messenger to investigate the case. However, the messenger arrived in the Jingzhou less than three days before he died in the Jingzhou Palace due to a huge fire, causing the entire Inn to burn down. "Tell me, do we still need to send people to investigate this matter? Who should we send to investigate this?"

When those words were said, the entire Linde Hall fell into a deathly silence.

There was no need to talk about Du Ziheng and Cui Jingxuan, two people who had only met each other for the first time.

The expressions of equal Yue Yang and the rest were all stunned.

Even Xiao Ruyue was stunned on the spot, incomparably shocked.

Yuwen He had mentioned to her before about the Jingzhou, that he was going to send a messenger to the Jingzhou, and the person he sent was actually dead in the Jingzhou?!

She, Xiao Ruyue, looked at Yuwen He. He had been extremely busy lately, could it be that this matter was related to him as well?

He actually did not tell her when the messenger was sent to the Jingzhou. Was it because he was worried about her body?

Judging from Yue Xiang and Jing Yu's expressions, they should be aware of this. What they should be surprised about was that the king had actually revealed such a huge matter to the public.

Xiao Ruyue's heart sunk, she was the first to speak and break the silence: "There must be something fishy between the Jingzhou's history of stabbing and the judgement of impeaching each other. The Jingzhou is the place where the Great General eats his food. Regardless of why the messenger sent by the imperial government accidentally died to Jingzhou because of a huge fire, or why the official sent by the imperial government died due to a problem caused by Shishi's judgement, the general should be responsible for investigating the matter. "

"Your words are wrong." Cui Jingxuan, who had been silent for a long while, suddenly spoke, "Although the Jingzhou is a land that the Great General eats, it is still our Da Xia Empire. The Emperor should have sent the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the marble temple to inspect it. If the general was to investigate, wouldn't that mean that he would overstep his authority? "

The bookworm was a bookworm after all. Although he was a bit angry, when it came to national affairs and people's lives, a surge of passion boiled in his bones.

Du Ziheng was also unwilling to be left behind, he stood out and said: "Brother Cui's words are also not right. It is true that the Jingzhou is the territory of our Da Xia Empire, but it is ultimately the Grand General's fiefdom. If His Majesty wants to investigate the two border feudal officials in the Jingzhou, you must have the cooperation of the Great General. Otherwise, what happens to the two border feudal officials, how about the tens of thousands of citizens in the Jingzhou? "

Xiao Ruyue then said: "Brother Du, your words are reasonable, but it is not necessarily true. The Jingzhou has decided to impeach each other, and it is not necessarily true that there is a problem with the two officials. At this time, we are looking for the general to cooperate, if the general were to kill two of the officials in one go, and if there is someone who is innocent, wouldn't that mean we have wrongly killed the good guys, causing chaos in the entire Jingzhou?"

"Although the great general is a martial general, he is not a reckless person. He shouldn't be like this." Du Ziheng said, and then fell into deep thought, "But Brother Situ's words are reasonable."

Cui Jingxuan was unhappy again, "This is simply bullshit, Jingzhou is our Da Xia Emperor's land, it should be investigated by the officials of marble temple and the Ministry of Justice. Jingzhou is the general's fief, but if the general does not manage his fiefdom well, he is derelict in his duty. According to the laws of Da Xia Empire, once the history of the Jingzhou's assassinations and the punishment for them are investigated, the Great General will definitely be charged with a crime of dereliction of duty. "

The first three parts of the conference began to argue.

All the courtiers and courtiers looked at each other and did not say a word.

Indeed, they were fearsome in the future.

These three had sharp tongues, and their words were reasonable and well-founded. However, all of them were proud and arrogant. None of them were convinced by the other party.

Everyone felt a headache coming on.

Du Ziheng, Cui Jingxuan, and Xiao Ruyue were still arguing with each other.

A few of the officials heard the play and for a moment, they began to discuss amongst themselves. The Hall Competition had become a meeting of the court.

The Prime Minister was also stunned when he heard this. He was extremely surprised, and his face was even more tense.

If he had thought that the empress would try to write an essay on her behalf before, he would have rejected that idea at this very moment.

So good at speech, but also good at roundabout and tactful, with the same style of writing as the examination.

Yuwen He who was sitting on the dragon throne listened quietly, his face expressionless, but his brows knitted slightly without any signs of joy or anger.

Xiao Ruyue, who was in the middle of a broad debate, suddenly caught sight of the Monarch on her seat winking at her. The words that were about to come out of her mouth paused, and she almost lost her breath.

Beautiful women messing with others, blue women were the bane of this disaster!

After she finished speaking, she gave Yuwen He a coquettish look, her eyes filled with mischievousness and slyness.

Yuwen He's unexplainable bones softened as he laughed in his heart: She really won't be taken advantage of by others at all.

He looked at the contending crowd, then looked at the calm and composed her, and a sense of pride rose in him.

Fang Weiyong was standing closest to Yuwen He. When he saw his king's proud look, he secretly held back his laughter.

The questions from the Jingzhou s, the dozen or so people in the hall, would never stop arguing.

Just like that, the Linde Hall became a bazaar.

Even Old Man Qiu, the head of the Military Department who relied on his seniority, could not hold back and joined in the argument. With his loud voice, he could not say anything.

For the first time, Xiao Ruyue understood what Yuwen He meant when she said: "A bunch of sour scholars who are full of books but are as noisy as rascals in the market."

Xiao Ruyue pitied the emperor on her seat: Every day, she would watch a bunch of old men arguing until their faces and ears would turn red, only needed to pull on each other's clothes to express their indignation. This was not something that could be easily accepted.

Her ears were about to explode.

Still, it was a good thing that this debate had attracted everyone's attention, so no one paid any attention to whether this third year contestant looked similar to the empress.

Just as the roof of Linde Hall was about to fall off, a report came in from the outside.

"I am here to see you, Prince Wei."

Just a moment ago, the hall was in an uproar, but in the next moment, it was all silent.

Yuwen He seemed to have been waiting for this chance. Seeing Yuwen Chenglian, who was wearing a court uniform and had just come in late, a smile flashed past his eyes.

It was meaningful.

Unfathomable.

"This subject pays his respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live for tens of thousands of years." Yuwen Chenglian immediately stood up, lifted up his official's robe, and knelt down on both knees.

Yuwen He said lightly, "Royal Uncle, free from formalities, rise from the ground," and called for someone to give him a seat.

Yuwen Chenglian sat down peacefully and swept his eyes across the crowd, "It seems as if today's Hall Competition is more lively than usual. He had a satisfied expression on his face.

Xiao Ruyue laughed coldly in her heart, the glint in her eyes turning cold.

Yuwen Chenglian's gaze fell upon her body and was startled.

He thought he had seen wrongly, so he took another look.

Xiao Ruyue looked at him indifferently and smiled faintly.

She wasn't worried at all about Yuwen Chenglian recognizing her.

He would never reveal it even if he recognized it.

On the contrary, to someone like Yuwen Chenglian who had ill intentions, he definitely felt that this was an extremely good opportunity.

From now on, he had an excuse to threaten her.

As expected, the surprise in Yuwen Chenglian's eyes quickly turned into a malicious smile.

The empress had disguised herself as a man and entered the examination. She had even dared to swagger into the Linde Hall to participate in the test. He must be involved.

Yuwen He, let's see if you can get back at him now. You've even paid the price of a precious queen.
