It would be best if the emperor became suspicious of Shi Zhongkui and abandoned him, then Shi Zhongkui, the Jia family and the Wang family would have to come under his wing again.

Besides, even if the emperor is unhappy, he will not fall out with his own father just for the sake of being promoted to a civil servant or a Jinshi.

The Supreme Emperor's method was also very simple. On the grounds that successful fish farming in rice fields would add hundreds of thousands of grains to the capital, he granted Shi Zhongkui the title of a first-class mighty general or the lowest third-class mighty general.

By dragging Shi Zhongkui into the noble camp, it would not be so easy for him to have both sides.

By the way, it comforted and shocked the Jia family, Wang family and other nobles.

But if this matter was announced in advance, one and a half months before the examination, it would be equivalent to ruining Shi Zhongkui's future in the imperial examination.

This person has a chance to become the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty. Even if he is given a hereditary title, he will definitely feel resentful or even resentful.

Moreover, it is not wrong at all to say that Shi Zhongkui has become the expectation of scholars all over the world, and even the future of Confucianism.

Once a person hits the Six Elements in a row in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it means that Confucianism in the Great Zhou Dynasty has entered its heyday.

Not only does the imperial court have face, but there must also be a large number of young students and children who will follow his example and study hard for the imperial examinations.

The surrounding small countries, such as Goryeo, where Confucianism also flourished, and the Xixiang Kingdom in the south will also develop a trend of reading because of this incident, and will also be more respectful and taboo towards the Zhou Dynasty to a certain extent.

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor is not so stupid as to go against all the scholars in the world.

Since he has to take the entrance exam, let him fail the exam and then knight him himself. Normal people will definitely be grateful.

Moreover, once Shi Zhongkui accepted the order, it would be equivalent to extirpating himself from Shilin.

If he doesn't accept the order, he will take the exam again in three years. It won't be that easy after thinking about it.

Three more years, six years later, Shi Zhongkui's influence is no longer as high as it is now.

------

By the time Shi Zhongkui learned the news from the Golden Mouse, it was already the next night.

Moreover, this was the Golden Mouse staring at Xiu Yiwei and sensing something unusual from some of Xiu Yiwei's unusual actions.

After further investigation, I spotted a eunuch placed by the emperor next to Prince Anle. When he left the palace to deliver the news, he got a rough idea.

Shi Zhongkui laughed angrily this time, and the first thought in his mind was to kill King Anle.

But he frowned again after a while.

If you want to kill Prince Anle, you have to wait until that bastard leaves Longshou Palace.

No matter how good the Golden Mouse is at hiding, it can't avoid the guardian god enshrined in the Dragon Head Palace.

So Shi Zhongkui could only find other ways.

And there is no way to discuss this matter with anyone except the Golden Mouse.

While dealing with the enemy, you must also be prepared for the enemy's methods.

If you think about it carefully, the most direct trick to deal with yourself is actually not complicated.

If you kill or frame yourself, you will not be able to participate in the February examination.

The second is to use some secret tricks to make things go wrong in the examination.

Once you fail the examination, or even fall into a fraud case like Tang Bohu, your future in the imperial examination will be ruined, and becoming an official in the court will become a delusion in the future.

If you really serve as an official as a judge, it will be equivalent to cutting off the opportunity to become a general or a prime minister. No matter how good you are in your life, you will only be a fourth- or fifth-grade official at most.

The third thing is that if methods such as framing don't work, it is very likely that during the provincial examination, the principal and deputy examiners will be able to see their own papers from their own articles and poems.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui suddenly frowned, he really had to guard against this.

The first idea was to change his writing habits, and the second was to secretly hand over a good poem to a certain person.

Changing habits is not easy, but it is not impossible, but the risks are not small.

Sending poems is not easy. After all, no one knows the title now. You can’t send dozens of poems in various styles and suitable for various situations, right?

Furthermore, as long as those who are successful in the examination have great abilities, some people must also have high spirits.

Moreover, the risk of using poems of unknown origin is also very high. If two people write the same poem, it is fraud, and most people will probably discard it directly.

The golden-haired mouse was summoned, and soon the little mouse, with a puzzled mood, ran to copy the list of candidates for the capital.

Then spend a lot of time and energy, going to inns and other places one by one to eavesdrop.

Since the examination is only one and a half months away, basically more than half of the candidates outside Gyeonggi Province have arrived in Beijing in advance to wait for the examination.

Three days later, Shi Zhongkui finally selected ten candidates from more than a thousand people.

All of these people are very knowledgeable, but have character flaws, and even have problems with their behavior.

He has temporarily found a candidate to replace him as a target, and he is protected by the wandering gods of day and night.

Only then did he start to think of ways to deal with King Anle.

After thinking about it all night, I suddenly thought of Ma Daopo, who almost cursed Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng to death.

Called the Golden-haired Rat, "Let's check and see if we can get King Anle's birthday and horoscope?"

The next day, the little mouse came back with excitement and reported, "Master, I'm lucky. I went to Anle County Prince's Mansion to look around, but couldn't find it.

Unexpectedly, at Princess Anle's house, I actually found the birth date of Prince Anle from the marriage certificate.

Calculate carefully, it’s exactly 16 years, it can’t be wrong.”

Shi Zhongkui was stunned. After hearing the birth date of the Golden Mouse, he asked, "Let's go and look in the city to find a temple called Ma Dao Po."

A few days later, after Shi Zhongkui heard the report from the Golden-haired Rat, he wanted to kill Ma Daopo directly.

This snake-hearted old witch openly prays for the children of various noble families, but secretly takes advantage of the opportunity to enter and leave the noble families and often performs magic spells to plot against the children of these families.

When something strange happened, she came to the door again and said that all children born from the families of princes, princes, ministers, and prime ministers would be followed by ghosts after their birth.

Just pinch him when there is nothing wrong, bump him when eating, or stir him when walking.

In short, we don't make life easy for these children, so children from wealthy families never grow up.

Then the salesperson said that if you want to have peace, you'd better donate some sesame oil to the temple and offer an ever-burning lamp to have peace.

Some people believe that a few taels or dozens of taels of silver every month goes directly into the pockets of Na Ma Daopo.

Some people didn't believe it, so she cast a curse to kill one or two children. After one or two times, many noble families had to spend money to buy peace.

Of course, this money is not nominally given to Ma Daopo, but three to five kilograms or ten or twenty kilograms of sesame oil per day is a considerable amount of consumption over the years.

In order to pray for her son, Princess Nan'an even gave out 50 kilograms of sesame oil every day, earning her a thousand taels of silver in a year.

And the ever-burning lamp only consumes several hundred kilograms of sesame oil in a year.

A few days later, a scoundrel who had been walking around the streets to help Ma Daopo gather information hurriedly came to the door and said, "Xiangu, I received a business order yesterday, are you waiting to see if you accept it?"
