"What? This old guy Kong Yingda has turned against him?"

Inside the Cui family mansion in Boling, Chang'an, the Prince of Cui exclaimed.

The servant who reported the report whispered: "Young Master, you can't call me a rebel. That old man Kong didn't help us either."

Mr. Cui kicked the servant away and scolded, "Do you use your reminder? Let's go and see what my father said."

When they arrived at the front yard, they met Cui Dunli, who served as the Minister of Personnel in the court. As soon as the father and son met, they did not need the Cui family's son to speak, and Cui Dunli knew his son's purpose.

"You go back to the study to review the book. My father will deal with the rest of the matter. I have posted a post to invite two other families to come and discuss countermeasures."

Hearing this answer, Mr. Cui felt relieved. He thought to himself that it would be impossible for the five surnames and seven hopes to join forces to check and balance the imperial examinations.

I don’t know where this young master Cui got his blind confidence. At this time, his father Cui Dunli seemed calm, but in fact he was very anxious. After so many years of fighting, the five surnames and seven hopes had a consensus that Du Shaoqing was very difficult to deal with.

Soon, the Zheng family in Xingyang and Li family in Longxi sent people, but in order to keep a low profile, the seven families were not invited.

The three families gathered to talk about Du Shaoqing's question. Both of them frowned, "Kong Yingda's rebellion is very unfavorable to us. He joined forces with Yu Shinan, and Yan Shigu, the Yan family, who was already a friend of Du Shaoqing, could directly calm the restlessness of most literati.

I'm afraid this time, it's a foregone conclusion for Du Shaoqing to set the questions."

Cui Dunli sighed: "I didn't expect that Du Shaoqing would grow to such a level in just a few years. He thought he was just a businessman. At best, he had a reputation as a miracle doctor. Now he even has his place in the literary world. It's amazing!

Everyone, everyone knows that Du Shaoqing's actions represent His Majesty's intention. If they cannot break their vicious plan this time, we will be unable to continue in the officialdom in the future."

The Li family from Longxi thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, even if Du Shaoqing sets the questions, aren't there still a few auxiliary question-setting people?

Du Shaoqing was a young man who came here and would never dare to make big changes to prevent delays in the imperial examination and cause major disasters. Therefore, he must reuse old officials who have experience in setting questions."

"It is impossible for others to use our people, the emperor will definitely assign someone to help him." Cui Dunli reminded.

"No, Brother Cui misunderstood what I mean. I mean, no matter who asked the question, just make sure that what he gave was similar to previous years. In this way, our children will definitely have a great advantage in answering the questions. How can those rural villagers compete with us?

Let’s take a step back, even if those wild paths are talented, we are the ones who review the review papers. Is it ours the final decision for which one is better or worse?" The Li family in Longxi said confidently.

Well... there is a little reason. How many generations of our hard work are so easy to break?

The other two nodded in agreement. Cui Dunli looked a little better and had a little more confidence.

The people from Zheng's family in Xingyang reminded: "Even if we can keep the bottom line, we must prevent Du Shaoqing from making a splendid move. This person has always been unconventional in his actions and always has unexpected actions. If he takes advantage of the opportunity...

After all, he was appointed as the question setter, so he couldn't say whether he would make trouble on the test questions."

The other two people thought about it, and when they talked about wild ways, Du Shaoqing was the best among them.

A person from the Li family in Longxi thought, "If Du Shaoqing wanted to tamper with the test questions, what questions would he have? Medical skills? Arithmetic?

Everyone can see that this imperial examination was specially designed for those public schools. Even if he wanted to help these students cheat, he had to take the exam for them. And this group of students seemed to be nothing special."

Cui Dunli pondered: "It is unlikely that medical skills are possible. This is not the recruitment of the hospital. It would be ridiculous to have medical skills.

It is very likely that it is arithmetic. Everyone knows that the arithmetic courses taught in the new school are very different from the past. There is also the artifact abacus, which can be said to be very convenient for counting."

People from the Li family in Longxi said indifferently: "This is simple, and the abacus has been widely used in the past two years. We have basically learned it from our children, so it is not a big deal."

As for the miscellaneous things he taught in his school, remember whether we got a batch of textbooks and books from them at the beginning?

Take advantage of this time to find a private school teacher to detoxify their teaching materials, but I think there will be no depth."

Zheng, Xingyang, said worriedly: "This is a bit of a temporary cram. Does it work? But don't make any mistakes in this small matter."

Cui Dunli shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Du Shaoqing dared not do it outrageously, because in addition to the students who came out of his school, there are many rural students in various state roads.

If he dares to issue questions to target our children, it will inevitably affect those casual students. Then the world will be in a big uproar and Du Shaoqing will not be able to bear this responsibility."

"Haha, if you say that, you'll be even more bold. I hope he will make things difficult for us now. Then we will add fuel to the fire. Maybe this opportunity will overturn Du Shaoqing. As long as he smells his reputation, it will be like cutting off the royal family's arm. We are still the strongest existence in the world." The Li family from Longxi laughed wildly.

Several people made plans to take action. A few days later, Cui Hao, the young patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, received information.

"Clan leader, the Cui family of Boling has sent someone to come and said they want to ask us to send two people to help with teaching." A clan elder reported.

Cui Hao said in confusion: "Teaching? What to teach?

They have the same family background as Cui, so can they borrow the teacher from us?"

This... the clan elder was a little hesitant.

"Is there anything difficult? Just say it, but we didn't ask them for help." Cui Hao reminded.

"The other party did not say in detail, just said that he wanted us to send two people over, and also wanted to learn the things that Dr. Du taught in Chang'an School to help the children in the family grow their knowledge."

Hearing this, Cui Hao laughed, "So he is learning this?"

Are these people obsessed with ghosts? They can think of such low-level methods as cramming for the moment? It is obvious that they know that the master is asking questions and are afraid of being stumped, so they use a wrong move.

If the master's methods are so easily broken, he is not the number one talented man.

Give them, but you can't give them so for no reason. When our Qinghe Cui family was robbed, their families had taken a lot of trouble and told the Great Elder to make conditions."

“Ah? Make a condition?

The clan leader, just two teachers, isn’t it a bit…” the clan elder advised.

He originally wanted to say that he was a little petty, but looking at the young and promising patriarch in front of him, he didn't dare to say that although this patriarch was as gentle as the young master of Yu Zhuo Shijia, he was actually a decisive and cruel character.

After serving as the clan leader for a year, he sorted out the chaos in the Cui clan of Qinghe and spent another year leading the Cui clan of Qinghe. Although he was not as famous as before, the lives of the lower class people were better, and their overall strength was even greater than before. Of course, he was much lower-key than before, and basically faded out of people's sight.

Cui Hao said proudly: "If you want to gain benefits, you can't care about the so-called face. Our Cui family in Qinghe has been excluded by several other families. There is no friendship between them. It would be good if I don't hold grudges with them.

Ask the elder to reply to the other party, the examination will be taken soon. The children of the Cui clan in Qinghe are also actively preparing for the exam, and even the teacher dare not slacken off, so there is no extra man to lend.

Of course, if the other party needs it in a very urgent way, it needs to offer enough conditions for us to release people. How to fight for meat from the wolf's mouth? I don't need to give me instructions."

Thinking of the scene where several other families were in the battle between the Cui clan leader of the Qinghe clan, the old clan nodded with sharp eyes and said, "I understand that the leader of the clan, I will definitely let them bleed this time."

Seeing his subordinate straightening his chest and strode away, Cui Hao curled his lips slightly and murmured with nostalgia: "I haven't seen each other for two years, and I don't know what happened to the master and a group of brothers?"

Master, Master, I really didn’t expect that the first time I took the scientific exam in my life would be you to set the questions. Should I avoid it and take another exam next year?”

If the exam is the case next year? If this is the case, Du Shaoqing will probably be pissed to death. I don’t know if he will set the questions next year. He finally took some tricks for the students. Do you still want to avoid being dismissive of the exam? You might as well expel you from the school.

What Cui Hao didn't know was that because of this question, Du Shaoqing also consulted his father-in-law, Emperor Li Er, and the reply was that one of your students had calculated the other, and they all took the exam, just because they were too little or too much.

Du Shaoqing thought it was funny, "Your Majesty, let's not say that I have disciples who specialize in medical studies. Isn't this obviously a verbal conversation among Luo people? At this time, I was too late to avoid suspicion, so how could I get into trouble?

Otherwise, you will be exempted from being the person who sets the question, but I can present you with a test paper. If you use my questions, don’t use me as a person. How do you think about the best of both worlds?"

Li Erbiao said to his son-in-law and cursed: "You are treacherous, and you can take away any good things you want?"

You take the benefits, and you look for a scapegoat for being held responsible? How is this possible?

I might as well tell you that although you take risks, it is also to train you. As long as you survive this storm, you can be of great use in the future.

You probably don’t know. Although Kong Yingda, the Imperial College Supervisor, claims to be full of students all over the world, he is not as good as the old friends of Fang Xiang’s disciples.”

"This is impossible. Fang Xiang looks very low-key and never form a gang!" Du Shaoqing was stunned.

Li Er laughed and said, "He doesn't join forces with others, so he can't stand others taking the initiative to lean on.

It is because Fang Xiang has been in charge of the overall scientific examination for many years that every new student in high school is nominally considered his secret student, and he has a semi-teacher friendship!"

Puff... Du Shaoqing almost vomited blood. Is that okay? It seems that these people have also taken the initiative to become officials and have dared to promote and promote the situation whenever they have any opportunities.
