Chapter Four Hundred and Sixteenth: Disappearance

Zhu Houzhao has already been filled with fire. These sect bandits deserve to die. But... they still have to escort them to sea with delicious food and drink. Just this... Is it still a matter of whether Shouning Hou can come back or not? Once they go to sea, they will not take care of the sky or the earth. Even if they throw Shouning Hou into the sea to feed the fish, what can you do to them?

Zhu Houzhao felt deeply ashamed when he was fussed to this point. Everyone usually coaxed him, saying that he was the lord of the nine fives, saying that he was rich in all over the world, saying that he was the king's minister, and that the shores of the earth were the king's land. It sounds so nice. As a result, he couldn't help but coax his mother and was scared. It was okay, but he was not even helpless to a group of sect bandits who were arrogant. This made Zhu Houzhao angry but had nowhere to come out, but he could only hold it in his heart, causing some internal injuries.

"Oh, the palace examination has not started yet, have you started to call the name? Come on, come on the list."

Zhu Houzhao's only comfort was today's palace examination. He said in his heart, no matter what, Ye Chunqiu will always come. Could it be that he would not even take the palace examination? Although he had not found out about his traces before, if he did not take such an exam, he would have seen a devil.

So soon a eunuch sent Dian Mao's name. Zhu Houzhao leaned on the imperial chair with a smile and said, "I don't know who can win the top scorer in the current department, haha..." He looked through pages and saw Jiao Huangzhong, and couldn't help but joke: "Master Jiao, your son is also here for the palace examination?"

Jiao Fang said modestly: "It's just a lucky dog."

Zhu Houzhao said in the next sentence: "It's burnt and yellow...it's burnt and yellow, no wonder it's hit; it's still Master Jiao's great. If he had won the name Jiao Buzhong, it would be bad."

Jiao Fang was stunned when he heard this, and all the good moods were destroyed.

But Zhu Houzhao's good mood ended here, and his face suddenly darkened again.

Hell, why don’t Ye Chunqiu? Not even Ye Jing? It’s really hell.

He thought he was confused, so he looked at it again and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu from Nanbang come?"

When he asked, several cabinet masters looked at each other, especially Xie Qian. He originally thought that Ye Chunqiu was Wang Hua's disciple at least, and after entering Beijing, he would definitely take Wang Hua's letter to his residence to pay homage. After all, his relationship with Wang Hua was different. Who knew that Ye Chunqiu had never appeared? He thought, was Ye Chunqiu trying to avoid suspicion and come to pay homage after the palace examination? Thinking of this level, he felt that Ye Chunqiu was modest and cautious, and Lao Wang really did not misunderstand him.

As a result, when he learned that Ye Chunqiu hadn't come, he was shocked.

Zhu Houzhao's mood suddenly became worse: "I heard that they came to Beijing by canal boat, could it be..."

Thinking of this, everyone except Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai felt a little sad. Could it be that Ye Chunqiu and his son were involved in the rebellion of the bandits and were harmed? Otherwise... they would have been determined not to delay the palace examination.

Zhu Houzhao's face turned pale, so she sat in a daze. After waiting for so long, she disappointed him. Now it seems that maybe Ye Chunqiu is dead, oh, and his father. They must have refused to follow the thief and were surrounded by the thief. As a result, he was very powerful. He is said to have great swordsmanship, but there are thousands of rebels who are in chaos. He...he...

Then Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but get angry. He stood up suddenly and threw the list to the ground fiercely, saying unforgivable: "The White Lotus Sect is hateful, I... I will tear them into pieces!"

Your Majesty's sudden actions made everyone even more uneasy. Everyone in Baohe Hall did not dare to let out the air, and the needle could be heard.

Zhu Houzhao immediately collapsed on the chair, looking very powerless, and became depressed. He was already used to this helpless mood. But sometimes even if he was trembling with anger, what if those hateful sect bandits humiliated the court and killed Ye Chunqiu? He still had to issue an order to send them out of the country. If he didn't do this, how would his mother explain?

Unconsciously, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were a little red. He didn't recognize Ye Chunqiu and had never seen him before. But at this moment, when he thought of this scene, he couldn't help but want to cry. But he was a stubborn person, so he took a deep breath, covered his face with his sleeves, and tried to secretly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Liu Jian felt that it was a very decent thing for His Majesty to cover his face with his sleeves, so he couldn't help but cough a few times.

Zhu Houzhao was furious and thought to himself that I could not go east or west. In short, no matter what I do, I always have to hit a wall. Isn’t it even possible to do this now?

He had red eyes, but he didn't dare to complain to Master Liu, so he said viciously: "Why haven't the candidates come yet? Why haven't the candidates come yet?"

"Here you..."

As he was speaking, the proud Jinshi entered one after another after the name was named. Liu Jian presided over the palace examination and stood up and said supremely: "Students sit high, come, and leave a book."

The meaning of the scattered paper is that the questions have been prepared long ago. The palace examination is not as good as other examinations. The other examinations mainly test eight-part articles, while the palace examination only tests the same thing, which is strategy theory.

The so-called policy theory involves relatively substantial issues, mostly related to the national economy and people's livelihood. As early as half a month ago, the cabinet discussed the policy theory topic, which was that there were many rains and disasters this summer, and the river water flooded, and the people suffered a lot. How to deal with the river embankment disrepair.

This is a stable question. Generally, the exams were similar in previous years, such as how to educate the people when the world is getting worse; or how should the rivers flood again, how should the court provide disaster relief; and then, the military households are becoming increasingly lazy, and the dangers of collapse of all the security forces should be dealt with.

The papers were also prepared long ago. As soon as Liu Jian said that the scattered volumes were loose, these proud Jinshi first gave a great gift to the emperor, and then bowed to the scholars. They knelt on the desks, and had their pens, ink, paper and inkstones prepared on the desks. After the scattered volumes, Baohe Palace would burn incense. The entire exam was limited to ten incenses. After ten incenses, the papers would be collected and the results would be decided on the spot.

The eunuchs came out with their test papers in their arms and were about to be distributed.

Suddenly, the imperial case was beaten so hard that it was pounding.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's face turned pale and slamming the imperial case with her fist fiercely, this action made the candidates stunned, and also shocked Liu Jian and others.

Your Majesty is absent from manners. How can you lose your manners in such a solemn occasion? If it is spread, wouldn’t it be said that it is not as good as a ruler?

Liu Jian made a quick decision, bowed down immediately, and choked and said, "Why is Your Majesty like this..."
