The clever Qin Wan began to sort out the spies in the East Palace after sending the treasure to Qin Zhan.
The couple wanted to send spies to other families, so they naturally had to guard against other people sending spies into the Eastern Palace. Qin Wan sorted it out over and over again.
In the previous life, they were able to send the dragon robe into the East Palace, which must have been through some means. After Xie Qing was reborn, the first thing he did was to replace all the staff in the East Palace.
But even after cleaning it up once, there is no guarantee that they will not send people in again. Now Qin Wan and Xie Qing have sorted it out carefully several times, protecting the East Palace like an iron barrel.
While the couple was busy tidying up the Eastern Palace, the Sixth Princess's marriage was decided.
As soon as the marriage was announced, Lord Yu returned to the Eastern Palace to become the Prince's tutor.
Although Lord Yu holds the title of the Crown Prince's Tutor, he was angered and ran away by Xie Qing back then, and no longer fulfilled his duties as the Crown Prince's Tutor. Now that the Crown Prince is willing to study hard again, Lord Yu is very pleased.
At the emperor's bedside, Lord Yu praised the crown prince repeatedly and promised to teach him well: "The crown prince is now devoted to learning. Your Majesty can rest assured to hand over the country to the crown prince and let him recover well. With your majesty and the crown prince's protection, our Great Zhou will prosper for thousands of years."
The emperor was also very pleased: "The Qin family has raised a good daughter. This is a good prince and a good queen. I can rest assured."
He looked at Lord Yu, speaking from the heart, and hinting at something: "I am handing him over to you. Although he is a little late in understanding things, he is studious and has learned well. I am relieved to hand him over to you."
"I will definitely live up to your trust!" Lord Yu's words were powerful. He came here today to show his loyalty.
Concubine Li has taken a fancy to his son, and Lord Yu cannot refuse, but if he stands by the prince, he can maintain a delicate balance.
Moreover, Lord Yu had also made plans. After his youngest son got married, he would send them back to his hometown, or somewhere else, so that the young couple could live their own lives.
When the big things are settled, they will come back.
The Fourth Prince didn't even know what Lord Yu was planning. He was furious when he learned that Lord Yu had returned to the East Palace to teach the Crown Prince.
"He actually played this trick on me!" The Fourth Prince lost his usual composure and threw a lot of things.
Bai Wanyi didn't understand: "The Sixth Princess is your sister. If the youngest son of the Yu family marries your sister, then it's on your car. Lord Yu can't stop you from doing anything you want in the future. If something happens to you, their family can't hide away."
The Fourth Prince gave him a strange look and said, "Are you trying to instigate me to rebel?"
Bai Wanyi spread his hands and said, "How could I say that you are plotting a rebellion? I just suggested that you tell these things to Lord Yu and give him some advice. But if you feel it is inappropriate, then don't tell him. I am just giving you an idea, and you are the one who makes the decision."
Bai Wanyi completely shirked responsibility.
I'm telling you this: you're an adult. It's up to you to decide whether you should do it or not. I'm not forcing you to do it.
The Fourth Prince looked at Bai Wanyi for a long moment before nodding, "Okay, I'll think about it. But how's your paper going?"
Bai Wanyi smiled confidently: "Of course I have some ideas. I guarantee that the paper I make will be tough and smooth."
The Fourth Prince calculated the time: "The beginning of the year will be the Scholar Examination, and then the Spring Examination. I must finish it quickly so that the scholars can serve me."
In case Bai Wanyi didn't know what a scholar was, the Fourth Prince explained, "You have to take three exams to become a scholar: the county exam, the prefectural exam, and the imperial examination. Only if you pass all three, you become a scholar. If you only pass two, you become a student."
Bai Wanyi remembered that the Fourth Prince or someone else had explained this to her. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I'm stupid and don't know?"
She took a deep breath and continued, "There's a good time to take out the paper. You can take it out around the Spring Examination, but it also depends on the right time. You have to know that doing the right thing at the right time will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
The Fourth Prince frowned. "What more time do we need? The Crown Prince's reputation is growing. Could it be that he'll allow me to rebel?"
Bai Wanyi was confident: "I just have a plan. The paper has already been made. Are you still worried that no one will appreciate it?"
"I think your current focus shouldn't be on the paper, but on next year's Spring Examination."
"What do you mean?" The Fourth Prince looked at Bai Wanyi, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You mean to let me preside over the imperial examination? That's a good idea. Then the scholars who take the imperial examination will be considered half of my disciples."
Bai Wanyi shook his head: "Just presiding over the imperial examinations is nothing. Don't you want to win over some candidates? Once they pass the exams, they will be yours."
"It's actually quite simple to win them over. Regardless of their financial situation, everyone is most interested in the essays from previous imperial examinations and what will be tested in this current exam. As a prince, it's easy for Your Highness to obtain the essays from previous examinations."
"Use these to attract some scholars, and then combine them with the major events that have occurred in our Great Zhou in recent years to determine the questions for this imperial examination."
Bai Wanyi had to fight his way through the examination halls, having to predict the exam questions in elementary school and middle school. In high school, the teachers even took out the college entrance examination papers every year and went over them over and over again.
Especially for big questions like essays, we will analyze them in detail: why were such questions asked back then and how were they answered?
What kind of questions will be asked this year? No matter which year it is, there will always be teachers who can predict one or two big questions.
Bai Wanyi felt that predicting the topics for next year's scientific examination was simply too easy.
For example, this year, drought and flood occurred simultaneously in Shenyang. How to provide disaster relief and comfort the people?
In addition, the Shenyang Dam has played a great role in the continuous rain. Now that dams are being built in various parts of the capital, is it necessary to build dams on a large scale within the Great Zhou?
Turning to the issue of collecting the silver owed by the court, why did the ministers ask the court to borrow silver? Should the ministers' salaries be increased? Should they be increased? How should they be increased? Where would the silver come from?
Bai Wanyi even thought of the Qing Dynasty's Yanglian Silver...
She had a lot on her mind, picking out the drought, floods, and the dam in Shenyang. "As long as you know the exam questions and write your essays in advance, who can't pass? Even if you don't predict the topic correctly, you can still broaden your thinking and practice writing."
The Fourth Prince pondered Bai Wanyi's words, lost in thought. However, he wasn't thinking about guessing the exam questions. Even guessing the exam questions could be wrong. If he knew the exact exam questions...
If he wanted to know the imperial examination questions, first, the official presiding over the Spring Examination must be one of his own people, and second, he had to get away with it cleanly and stay away from it, so that he wouldn't be blamed for the incident later.
