Chapter 343 Extra 3: More and more like Su Rui

The results of the Imperial College autumn examination are announced.

The eldest prince Zhao Yanting was the first to rush to the list like an arrow, and then searched from the A list all the way down.

"Grand Prince, you don't have to look for it there. Give this one, it will be faster." The good friend said with a smile, pointing at the list of candidates.

"Go to hell with you! How could I be on the C list? You guys are the last ones." Zhao Yanting cursed, but his eyes and hands kept searching, but he still couldn't see his name.

“Found it!”

Someone shouted.

Zhao Yanting looked over and saw the list of super A!

Only those who score higher than the A-list of their level can enter the Super A list, and will then compete with those who score higher than the Super A list of their level.

I actually made it to the Super A level. My mother would definitely be so happy that she would celebrate. I could even ask not to eat the brain-boosting medicinal food she prepared.

It's really more bitter than any other medicine. Only my father can drink it without changing his expression.

But he had seen that his father also vomited behind his back, but his father did not resist, so their resistance was useless.

But as long as you get into the Super A team, you can definitely negotiate terms!

Zhao Yanting excitedly pushed through the crowd and went in. He looked at the place where the shouting person was pointing, and saw three words clearly written on it.

Zhao!

feast!

Careful?

"Oh, I saw it wrong. It's His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" The man covered his mouth, his face full of embarrassment.

Zhao Yanting shook his head.

He doesn't believe it.

"How is that possible? How could it be that taciturn guy? How could he possibly reach Super A? He must be…"

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a frosty voice sounded behind him.

Zhao Yanting jumped up in frustration, turned around, and looked at the sullen second-in-command, Zhao Yanjin. He swallowed hard, but didn't want to show his weakness in front of everyone, so he said stubbornly, "He must have been secretly studying. Did you learn more from the tutor behind my back?"

Zhao Yanjin looked at Zhao Yanting as if he were a fool, not wanting to pay any attention to him at all, and turned around to leave.

Ignore him again?

He is the big brother!

Zhao Yanting reluctantly reached out and grabbed Zhao Yanjin's arm, "Stinky boy, big brother is asking you a question!"

"You want me to answer you?" Zhao Yanjin asked, his cold voice tinged with danger.

If it were normal, based on experience, Zhao Yanting would definitely not want it.

But now, it's on the shelf.

He...he...he is the eldest brother!

"Brother asked a question, how could you not answer? Have you forgotten the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Zhao Yanjin's expression didn't change at all. He simply said, "You are from the Imperial College, and you and I are princes."

In one word, Zhao Yanting's mind exploded.

yes!

This is the Imperial College, not the prince's place. The Taifu will not teach individually and will treat everyone equally.

Moreover, they are princes, and when they arrive at the Imperial College, there will be many people watching them, so they must set an example.

He asked a stupid question in a hurry.

His cheeks flushed red, and he couldn't face it. After thinking for a while, his eyes fell on the number one on the Super A list, and he pointed at it and said, "What's the point of you being a Super A? No matter how powerful you are, can you compare to Brother Rui?"

Xu Rui, also known as the little Ruirui back then.

Now he is fifteen years old and is the legendary first in the Imperial College's annual examinations. Some people have already determined that he will be the new top scholar in the next imperial examination.

"Do you think he is the most powerful?" A sneering voice sounded in the crowd.

Zhao Yanting didn't even think twice and responded with a wave of his hand: "Of course, Brother Rui is the strongest in the Imperial College."

Before he could finish his words, the crowd had already dispersed.

Realizing that something was wrong, Zhao Yanting looked around and saw that the person standing outside the retreating path was a young man who was almost twenty years old, with sinister eyes and a terrifying aura.

Here, everyone recognizes it.

This is the Marquis of Longfeng, Tang Cheng, who was once the number one in the Imperial College, the runner-up in the last imperial examination, and is now the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

His methods of handling cases are sharp and ruthless. In the two years since he took office, there has been no case that he cannot solve as long as it falls into his hands. It’s just that the process... just hearing about it is creepy.

Everyone was afraid of this living devil, and the moment Zhao Yanting saw Tang Cheng, his hair stood on end.

Tang Cheng had often appeared around them and their mother since he was a child. They knew Tang Cheng's character and methods better than anyone else. They would immediately take a detour when they saw him a few feet away. But who would have thought that he was not in the Dali Temple today, but actually ran to the Imperial College.

Zhao Yanjin didn't say anything, but took a step sideways and silently stood in front of his elder brother.

Being protected by my younger brother, that's not what I want to say.

Even though Zhao Yanting's calves were trembling, he still stepped forward to explain, "Brother Cheng, you've become an official now and are no longer in the Imperial College. Since Brother Rui always ranks first, he's naturally the most powerful person in the Imperial College."

Obviously, Tang Cheng was not very satisfied with this answer.

He walked over casually, but every step was filled with a cold and terrifying aura, which made Zhao Yanting swallow his saliva uncontrollably, and even Zhao Yanjin had sweat on his forehead.

Standing in front of the two brothers, Tang Cheng leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "So, Your Highness is going to recruit Xu Rui as an aide in the future?"

"I haven't thought about it." Zhao Yanting answered instinctively without thinking. After answering, he felt that something seemed wrong.

"Mr. Tang, please be careful with your words. The emperor is in his prime. We are not the crown prince, nor have we been crowned king. We cannot have private relations with powerful officials and staff." Zhao Yanjin said in a cold but loud voice, not only to Tang Cheng, but also to everyone present.

Zhao Yanting also reacted, breaking out in a cold sweat, having almost fallen into the trap himself.

The emperor may not be suspicious of them because of this, but there are so many eyes watching them behind the scenes, adding fuel to the fire, and they are all hidden arrows.

He glared at Tang Cheng angrily, but Tang Cheng laughed out loud and said jokingly: "It's just a joke. Why is your Highness making such a big deal out of it? You're only nine years old, but you look like an old man. You're really not cute."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pinch Zhao Yanjin's face. Zhao Yanjin turned his head to avoid it, but Tang Cheng's hand turned to Zhao Yanting beside him at the same time, pinched a handful of flesh, and smiled even more widely, saying: "Your Highness is still adorable."

That smile was filled with sinister energy, and Zhao Yanting felt that Tang Cheng swallowed two words, not cute, but that he was cutely stupid.

She raised her hand and waved his hand away angrily.

"Mr. Tang, you came to the Imperial College today to discuss something with the Dean. The Dean is waiting for you. Please don't delay here any longer." Tang Chengzheng raised his other hand and wanted to tease Zhao Yanting, but a disgusting voice came from the front.

It’s Xu Rui.

Little Ruirui is now sixteen years old. He is no longer the short and small carrot head. He is more than seven feet tall, wearing a light blue robe, with long hair tied in a jade crown. His eyebrows are slender and gentle, like the moon on the top of the mountain and the wind in the forest. Even when he stands there, he makes people feel the breeze and bright moon. Even his one-armedness does not affect him at all.

As soon as he appeared, many students looked at him with admiration. If he was outside, many girls would throw fruits into his car.

He and Tang Cheng are completely opposite.

Therefore, the two have not gotten along since childhood.

"Now you can represent the dean?" Tang Cheng asked sarcastically.

"Just passing on a message." Xu Rui responded calmly.

Tang Cheng walked around the two brothers and stepped forward to fight with Xu Rui. The opponent was almost the same size as him. In another two years, he would probably be taller than him.

But looking at his amiable look that always had a faint smile on his face, Tang Cheng felt very annoyed.

This is how he tried to please Su Rui since he was a child, and Su Rui treated him differently, even allowing him to study at the Imperial College.

"That means you have gained my deep trust. It seems that you must enter the government in the next autumn imperial examination. Tell me, can you stay in Shengjing and serve as an official?" His tone was smiling, but it was more of a threat and a look of anticipation.

"No," Xu Rui answered without hesitation. Before Tang Cheng could fully express his surprise, he explained, "I will not participate in the Autumn Examination. This autumn, I will follow General Wei to Mobei. With Tang Shaoqing in the capital, that's enough."

Going to Mobei?

Tang Cheng was stunned.

He didn't expect that Xu Rui was going to Mobei.

Su Rui got him into the Imperial College. He had been at the top of the list every year for the past few years and was already a candidate for the top scholar, which meant he was destined to enter the central government. But in the end... he didn't even take the imperial examination?

No!

wrong!

Xu Rui had already passed the military examination and obtained the title of Juren, but he thought it was just for more help in his future career in officialdom, so he did not take it seriously. As a result, it became his path to a military career.

From the very beginning! From the very beginning, Xu Rui wanted to join the army!

Yes, he said he wanted to be a general when he was a child, but he didn’t expect that it was not just a childhood joke, and he was even being used!

Damn, he really looks more and more like Su Rui!
