There was actually one thing that Long Muse hadn't told the prince, and that was the Xu family's prestige in the students' hearts. It had never decreased. Even when the Xu family was framed for setting up a trap, the students never believed that the Xu family would really engage in corruption and bribery.
This is why Xu Tianze is willing to help students in this way. Even though his Aze has become alienated from him now, he understands him.
Although Xu Tianze blamed the Xu family verbally, he took on the responsibility of bearing the debt of gratitude to the Xu family's students. This was not for anything else, but because of the trust that students all over the world had in him.
Therefore, Xu Tianze was willing to do so and take the risk of offending a number of aristocratic families, but he also tried his best to create a relatively fair imperial examination for the students.
At this time, Xu Tianze and the other two who were on the other side of the students were also chatting, and they couldn't help laughing when they talked about funny things from time to time.
"Aze, I thought you would wish the students success in the imperial examinations, but I didn't expect that you would even give them a warning at the end." The wise king couldn't help but sigh as if he had discovered another side of Xu Tianze for the first time.
Xu Tianze, who was different from the past, was also emitting a light that was unique to him, making the wise king sink into it.
"There are certainly more ways to achieve immortality than just passing the imperial examination, but the only way to cross the social ladder is through the imperial examination."
"Besides, I'm just speaking the truth. After all, there are only a few high-scoring candidates, and sometimes giving up the imperial examination isn't a shameful thing."
Xu Tianze shook his head and looked at these students with some confusion in his eyes. Living in such an era, he naturally did not have the ambition to change the system.
All he could do was give a few small hints. As for whether they would listen or not in the end, that was not something he could consider.
"Xiao Ze, have you ever thought about this? These students only care about their reputation after death, which will not benefit you much. So why do this?" Song Yu interrupted the topic. In his opinion, if he were in Xiao Ze's position, he would have done what he wanted to do long ago, and why would he bother here?
"How can you know the joy of a fish if you are not a fish? How can you be sure that I have nothing else to ask for?" Xu Tianze turned his head to look at Song Yu with a gentle smile on his face. "When did you find yourself in such a predicament?"
After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he looked at the students and then at the wise king. His meaning was very clear.
Perhaps he will not need these students anymore, but as long as the wise king is still alive, there will always be a time when he will need them. As for Long Musi and the others, they will be more or less merciful to him because of the benefits he has given them.
This is enough for him, not to mention the person sitting on the current Long Yi chair, whom he always has to take into consideration, if his guess is correct.
In the end, it was difficult for the wise king to retain his last bit of dignity.
"Aze, I have been able to grow up from the royal family to where I am today, so I must have my own ways. You don't have to do this." The virtuous king looked at Xu Tianze with eyes that revealed heartache and helplessness.
He has never been a simple person. When he needs to be cruel, he is not bad, and he is confident that he can still protect himself.
But no matter what he said, in Aze's eyes, he was the one who needed protection, like a useless waste.
Although he was very touched by everything Xu Tianze did for him, he was also a little depressed. However, he couldn't blame Xu Tianze, so he could only keep it in his heart.
"I know that Ajiang has always been excellent in my heart, but I always want to do more for Ajiang. Why don't you allow me like this?" Xu Tianze raised his hand to straighten the clothes of the wise king.
He naturally knew what the virtuous king was thinking, and he also knew how excellent the virtuous king was. After all, when the virtuous king first cooperated with him under the identity of Xuedie, he already fully understood this.
However, there is always a loophole in a perfect plan. He was also a little afraid that if he was not by the wise king's side in the future, the wise king might be destroyed by his own people, so he made such a plan.
However, such plans were mostly speculations, and he had no evidence yet, so he naturally could not reveal it directly, so as not to create a rift between the two.
"Well, you can't completely ignore my feelings." The wise king argued in a low voice, but his voice was a little weak.
He knew that he was like a child who was being unreasonable and acting more willful and spoiled than rational, so he had no confidence.
"Of course I know that after the imperial examination, I will listen to Ajiang in everything." Xu Tianze coaxed the wise king softly as if he was coaxing a child.
Song Yu was a little dazzled watching from the side. The virtuous king was wearing a wide blue robe today, and a jade pendant around his waist that was similar to Xu Tianze's.
Just the two of them standing together is enough to make people's eyes light up, not to mention the overly intimate actions between them now.
But in such a situation, Song Yu couldn't do anything too abnormal and attract everyone's attention.
Although reason prevailed, the hand hidden in the sleeve had already clenched into a fist, revealing its owner's inner restlessness.
Seeing that there were no problems at the moment, Xu Tianze and others went into the Imperial Examination Hall and sat down, watching many students undergo the second inspection in the Imperial Examination Hall.
"How's the matter between Long Yi and Liu Zijin?" Xu Tianze saw Liu Zijin who was undergoing examination and saluted to him after the examination. He nodded and smiled while asking to the person beside him.
"Want to listen first?" Song Yu drank tea slowly on the side. Anyway, no matter which one it was, it was not investigated by him, so naturally he had no psychological burden.
"I'll listen to you first. Speak up." Xu Tianze turned around and gave Song Yu a displeased look. He always caused trouble.
