She knew that Pei Ling was warning herself.

In Pei's eyes, the emperor suppressed the rest of the Pei family while reusing himself, in order to divide Pei from the inside and take away the power that had been left for many years from Pei's hands.

This cannot be said to be wrong.

Pei Yunxiao could also clearly see the emperor's intentions. It's just that Pei Yunxiao knows what she is doing better, but these things cannot be known by Pei Ling.

Speaking from the heart, Pei Hong made sense. The Zhao family and the He family pressed on step by step. The emperor had both used her and trusted her, and she also needed an opportunity to gather more power...

After thinking for a while, Pei Yunxiao said: "What my grandfather taught is that I will take up the post of examination."

"Please also my grandfather believe me, Tongyang Pei will not fall, never will!"

Even though they have different political opinions and different positions from Pei's family, Pei Yunxiao never intends to destroy Pei's family.

Pei is her backing!

She tried her best to control Pei's house, not to destroy it. It is to eliminate the borers in Pei's, and let Pei's truly become his own help.

The subject of this scientific examination was a respected veteran of the Chinese government, Shang Shuling, Lin Zhongpu, who was also the emperor’s teacher.

The meaning of such a chief test and Pei Yunxiao such a strong assistant test is intriguing.

Soon after, the Beijing provincial trial was held on time.

At the end of the three-day test period, more than a dozen scoring officers handed in the preliminary ranking of the test papers to Pei Yunxiao and other assistants.

Handed in with the list, there are also sealed test papers for candidates.

According to the general practice, the duty of the assistant examination is only to invigorate the examination, and then the ranking judged by the marking officer will be handed over to the chief examiner to decide.

The chief examiner generally only looks at the top three or top five examination papers to determine the final ranking, and nothing else.

However, when the list was handed in, it was the first time to be an examiner, Pei Yunxiao, who was quite curious, did not hold back, flipping through the candidates' examination papers.

Turning over the first test paper, the candidate's name came into view-Tongyang Peixian.

Pei Yunxiao subconsciously felt happy for Pei Xian.

She and Pei Ling have completely different ideas.

Why don't you want to avoid relatives? Pei Xian has true talents and learns, and the words and words of the article can be easily grasped. What about the provincial yuan in the test?

The first examination paper of the provincial examination is to be publicized. As long as you have read Pei Xian's test-taking article, no one will question his ranking.

I just don't know, the second place will be the talented person... Pei Yunxiao flipped down curiously.

"Master Pei, is this not in compliance with the regulations?" another deputy examiner reminded him.

Pei Yunxiao raised her head to look at him, her eyes narrowed, showing a somewhat willful look: "I'm just looking, you don't tell, I don't tell, who knows?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Pei Yunxiao to say this, how could he look like a fifth-rank official in the middle of the DPRK with such a child's temperament?

He was about to stop it again, Pei Yunxiao seemed to be deliberately provoking, and his eyes were quick to open the second one.

"Li Yi..." Pei Yunxiao read the name on the test paper playfully, feeling clear.

Putting Pei Xian first, and using "unspoken rules" with no clear text to prevent him from reading, and Mrs. Lin would not deliberately change the ranking because of his advanced age. Isn't this a ready-made exploit?

Li Yi, this name is really familiar!

"Master Pei?" Hearing Pei Yunxiao's weird tone, the tester's eyelids jumped: "My lord, what's the problem?"

"Nothing." Pei Yun replies with a smile, but the line of sight has not left the test paper.

If it hadn't been for Li Yi's previous dispute with Tang Hang and the others, Pei Yunxiao would not know much about this person, and would only think that he was just a mediocre family prince.

But Li Yi that Pei Yunxiao found was completely another face.

Unlearned, stubborn, stubborn, sluggish family, relying on the dominance of the Zhao family's in-laws, there is quite a bit of resilience among the dudes in the capital.

The test paper in front of him is crooked, and the aestheticless handwriting confirms Li Yi's "people are like words."

But that eloquent, beautiful article that is three-pointed into the wood has become the most contradictory part.

"Well, another masterpiece!"

Pei Yunxiao remained silent and complimented, putting Li Yi's paper aside, keenly feeling the person next to him, his body relaxed for a moment.

But Pei Yunxiao did not let him continue to relax, because she continued to open the third place paper.

Candidate, Zhang Wenyang...

In her mind, she quickly recalled the complicated network of powerful and powerful relationships in Beijing, and she found out the brother-in-law relationship between Zhang Wenyang and He Can without surprise.

I vaguely remember that this Zhang Wenyang was also a commodity without much ink.

I see!

Pei Yunxiao scanned Zhang Wenyang's article at a glance and ten lines. Suddenly, she, who had always had a keen sense of words, discovered that there were more than ten identical sentences in Zhang Wenyang's and Li Yi's examination papers, except for their different positions.

At this moment, Pei Yunxiao had already lost her initial curiosity. In front of everyone, she began to look at the test papers one by one, no longer evasive at all.

Don't say that Pei Yunxiao has the capital to fear everything. Even if she did not, she found such a big problem in such a vital provincial examination. She was willing to go all out and dared to pull the emperor off the horse!

The test's face at the table was already extremely bad. I didn't know what decision he had made. Seeing Pei Yunxiao flipping through his movements faster and faster, he stomped his foot and hurriedly walked outside the door.

Pei Yunxiao has no time to think about what he wants to do, her mind is all on the test paper.

I don't know if I don't turn it over, I'm surprised when I turn it over.

Among the top 50 candidates, almost every candidate has connections with other candidates and examiners in this subject. Blood relationship, in-laws, family ties, superiors and subordinates, doormen, money exchanges... everything.

That's all right, there are not a few people with profound knowledge from aristocratic families, and the system of enrolling scholars in the Dali imperial examination system is nothing new.

But it's too much. Except for Pei Xian, and a few candidates who have been known before, the content of at least a dozen of the other test papers is the same as Li Yi and Zhang Wenyang, and there are words and sentences. similar!

It's just that these test-takers played tricks, breaking up the same sentences, shattering them and interspersing them between the passages. If it wasn't for Pei Yunxiao to look at it with suspicion, it would be really hard to see!

Cheating in imperial examinations is not something that has never happened before. It's not that Pei Yunxiao has never heard of cheat sheets, ghostwriters, or impostors.

But more than a dozen candidates shared an article and copied it. This is the first time Pei Yunxiao has seen you!

This operation... is really unique!

Pei Yunxiao memorized the names of these more than ten candidates one by one.

After reorganizing all the test papers, Pei Yunxiao left the office and returned to his residence in the Gongyuan.

Before the results came out, none of them could leave the Gongyuan.

Pei Yunxiao, who returned to the bedroom, was confused in his heart.

When the examiner was selected before, the Zhao family and the He family had an extremely fierce battle. If it weren't for the grandfather's full support, the emperor would have made the final decision, this task might not have fallen on him.

It now appears that they were well prepared.

Last year, the proportion of poor scholars entering official positions was staggering, so this year, all aristocratic families, including grandfathers, are inevitably anxious.

Take a look at the few candidates who are ranked. What are they planning? Pei Yunxiao has a clear heart!

But they shouldn't, they actually pushed people like Li Yi and Zhang Wenyang to the stage.

What kind of stuff are they? What can they do well?

Today's imperial examination system families have taken advantage of it, and there are countless legitimate methods to enable their descendants to pass the test in compliance.

Why?

Why have to use such a despicable cheating trick?

Why should we allow those who have no morals to enter the court and seize the few opportunities that the underachievers have?

Falling down... something suddenly flashed in Pei Yunxiao's heart.

"Jinnian." She opened the window and whispered.

The next moment, Jinnian quietly appeared in the room.

"It's been a long time since I did bad things, so anyone can count me." Pei Yunxiao smiled.

"I'm going to take a trip to the marking desk tonight. You keep it in the room, pretending to be me."

Jinnian didn't speak, only nodded without hesitation.

It's midnight, and it's cooler in the middle of the night.

Pei Yunxiao held the Huozhezi and sneaked into the scoring area.

Soon, she found the place where the exam papers that were sentenced to be failed were stored.

Taking out the exam paper, Pei Yunxiao began to look through the candidates' names with the faint light of fire.

I don't know how long it took before Pei Yunxiao finally finished watching it all.

As previously expected, most of the candidates who failed were poor students. Looking at the exam paper alone, the article was no worse than the first ones. This is the normal state of the Dali imperial examination.

But what’s interesting is that there are still many candidates who have failed in the exam. They are descendants of prominent families. They were quite talented in the past, but they all have one thing in common.

Either have nothing to do with Pei's! Either have a rift with Pei's!

Pei Yunxiao blew out the fire and stood in the dark room, waiting quietly.

If she didn't come to check the paper just in case, if she didn't make a surprise, this time, she would really walk into the trap set by the other party!

Li Yi, Zhang Wenyang and other cheating people have always been the cannon fodder in the serial scheme here.

As long as Li Yi and Zhang Wenyang are at the top of the list, candidates will definitely question the fairness of them.

In this way, all examiners will inevitably be the first to be held accountable, and the emperor will thoroughly investigate the matter.

At that time, the person in charge of the case will find that among the candidates who ranked extremely low and even failed, there are many poor scholars with real talents, and many talented ones who contradict the Pei family. .

Who doesn't know that the staff is a force of the Pei family? To be an exaggeration, the imperial examinations are not "protege of the emperor", but "protege of the Pei family"!

In this way, the two most painful points in the emperor's heart were all pierced, excluding dissidents and suppressing the poor. It was not necessarily clear that Pei Yunxiao had eight mouths.

By then, she had fallen out of favor and was guilty, and it was determined.

Fraud in the examinations must be re-examined.

At that time, the Zhao family and the He family once again won the position of the examiner. They only need to remove the dazzling Li Yi, Zhang Wenyang and others, and then repeat their tricks and elect their cronies.

If they are lucky, they can still take the opportunity to infiltrate the officials, it really kills three birds with one stone!
