Pei Xingjian looked from a distance, and several rangers stepped forward and started to fight with the gangsters. These rangers were very skilled and became unilateral beatings in just a few seconds, with only endless screams.

"In Chang'an, you don't have to be too humble or look at people's faces. Except for those in the palace and Zhuque Street, you don't have to look down on others." Di Renjie said to Pei Xingjian, "We are all disciples of the teacher. Although Chang'an is big, there are only a few who have emerged. These rangers will follow you and help you do things in the future."

"Thank you, senior brother." Pei Xingjian said,

"You're welcome." Di Renjie smiled, "You just worshipped under the teacher. Even though you were a secret move, you won't let you deal with the court alone."

It was still raining heavily, and Pei Xingjian smiled at Di Renjie and said, "I'll go back to the academy first."

Di Renjie nodded.

In the middle of Chang'an, four veteran generals, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Niu Jinda, sat together and discussed the Eastern Expedition. The Eastern Expedition is still a bit confusing now, but it is only a matter of time since Your Majesty has the intention to fight the Eastern Expedition.

"I have done enough." Qin Qiong sighed, "Your Majesty has always wanted to prove himself about the Xuanwu Sect, but now it is enough to be the extravagant thing for the Eastern Expedition."

"Shubao." Yuchi Gong whispered that the matter of Xuanwu Sect should not be discussed randomly.

The Xuanwu Sect incident was a stain on Li Er's heart. Everyone understood the incident that night. Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "I, Old Cheng, just heard that that boy Di Renjie did something and smashed the shop as soon as he took action."

"Di Renjie is also a polite child, how could he do this?" Niu Jinda was puzzled.

"It's a child." Cheng Yaojin said while drinking, "This time Di Renjie did this for an imperial examination student. He said that Gu Qing is also a powerful family now, what's wrong with the little kid and the dandy guy."

Niu Jinda smiled bitterly.

"If my family silently gave them money, just slap them in the mouth." Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine, "How much thought is His Majesty's enrollment this time, and how important the students' affairs will be to the future court. He dares to blackmail the students! The idle man in Chang'an is becoming more and more ignorant, so he should teach a good lesson."

This Di Renjie is a bit gentle when he acts like a playboy.

The next day, the rain became much lighter, and the drizzle was distracting. The biggest thing today was that the Chang'an imperial examinations began. Just today, Li Yifu led a group of laborers and Yan Liben to prepare for the reconstruction of the Daming Palace.

Gu Qing put on his clothes and was about to start the imperial examination today. Li Zhi was excited to see the scene in Chang'an and walked out of the house to keep up.

"Gu Qing, do you think there are many people in Chang'an?" Li Zhi asked while walking beside Gu Qing.

"There are quite a lot." Gu Qing nodded and turned over the horse.

Li Zhi also rode his own little horse and muttered, "Di Renjie hasn't come to play with me these days. Are you so busy in Dali Temple?"

As we arrived at the academy, many students were ready to take the exam. Gu Qing came on a horse. Looking at the group of students, Li Tai said with a smile, "We are all ready. This time, the first institution of the Tang Dynasty will let the world know."

"Okay!" Gu Qing also nodded.

Li Tai and Gu Qing took a group of students to Chang'an.

Outside the East Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the lively Chang'an, and Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside the prince, said, "After the spring rain, everything will revive, and after the imperial examination, there will be a new group of people in the court."

"I seem to be worried about something?" Li Chengqian smiled.

"There are more than 300 students in Gu Qing's academy to enter this imperial examination." Changsun Wuji sighed, "The academy is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more students."

"The knowledge studied in the academy is also diverse, and some of the knowledge is unheard of." Li Chengqian said.

"Are you not worried about your prince?" Changsun Wuji said, "If the academy continues to grow, what will happen to Your Highness the King of Wei? Your Highness the King of Wei is now extremely important in the academy."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Uncle, you understand what you think is lonely."

The imperial examination room is next to Qujiangchi, and many officials are busy here. The students enter the examination room according to the names registered on the list and their license plates, and verify the officials.

"Gu Qing, do you think the students in our academy can achieve good grades?" Li Tai asked.

"How do I know?" Gu Qing looked at the scene. There were many people participating in the imperial examination. From the age of eleven or twelve, you can always see middle-aged people in their forties and fifties. The imperial examination has no age limit. The imperial examination questions also test some of the Five Classics and Analects of Confucius, and some countermeasures for political affairs. The main consideration is the level of articles and the mind of handling political affairs. Selecting better ones is not like the rote memorization of later dynasties. Relatively speaking, the imperial examination questions in the Tang Dynasty are relatively broader.

Pei Xingjian sat cross-legged in his position, and a new piece of paper was placed on the table in front of him, full of various test questions.

After a brief look, there was also the last test question, which was considered a calculation type. It was the question of Gu Qing's countermeasures with the envoys of various countries. Pei Xingjian knew this allusion and picked up his pen. This allusion was not a difficult question, and the truth was not very difficult. Many people in Chang'an knew it, which was equivalent to a free score question.

The students sat down one after another, and each started to write and do the questions in the quiet examination room.

Xu Jingzong stood quietly and watched the imperial examination start. The three-hour exam lasted until the afternoon. The officials put away the test papers. Pei Xingjian walked out of the examination room and saw Xu Jingzong outside the examination room.

"How is it?" Xu Jingzong asked.

"It should be pretty good." Pei Xingjian replied with a smile.

Xu Jingzong was very optimistic about Pei Xingjian, "Now the court is the time to employ people, you will have a chance."

The students in the examination room began to disperse. Gu Qing and Li Tai walked to Cheng Chumo's tavern together. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a small stool thrown out of the tavern.

"What's the situation!" Gu Qing screamed, and hurried into the tavern and saw that Cheng Chumo was running for life, with the fierce woman behind him feeling murderous intent.

"Gu Qing, save me!" Cheng Chumo fled with his head in his arms.

"The weather for His Highness the King of Wei is really good today." Gu Qing looked up at the sky.

"It's not that good." Li Tai nodded, "The wind is bright and the clouds are gone!"

"You two!" Cheng Chumo shouted and cursed, "Where did you come from the heavy rain? You are not saving me when you see death!"

Wave the whip...

Bang!

Cheng Chumo, “Oh!”

"Hey?" Gu Qing looked around him and didn't see Cheng Chumo who was being beaten. "Who was talking just now?"
