Chapter 168 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 49

In the yard, Mu Qing stood beside Mu Lezhi and looked at Mu Anzhi with some confusion.

"Didn't uncle want us to take the imperial examination at first? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Dad did want us to take the imperial examination in the beginning. After all, our family has neither money nor time. We are still young, so it doesn't matter if we do a little slower in the exam.

Moreover, those who pass the imperial examination will be more valued by the emperor, and their official positions can be promoted. "Mu Lezhi interjected, "I have already made preparations to study until I am 20 or 30 years old, but I didn't expect that my father would change his mind. Big brother, do you know what happened?"

Mu Lezhi was also very curious. In fact, he had thought about going to the Imperial College before, but he had a close relationship with his eldest brother and the age difference between them was very small.

His eldest brother wanted to stay at home to take the imperial examination. Firstly, he was reluctant to be separated from his eldest brother. Secondly, if he went to the Imperial College, he would definitely enter the official career one step ahead of his eldest brother.

After graduating from the Imperial College, one could enter the Six Ministries at the age of 16. As for the imperial examination, if one could pass it at the age of 16, he was no longer a human being, but a real Wenquxing, a genius among geniuses.

And the fact was just as Mu Lezhi expected. Mu Anzhi was almost 15 now. Passing the provincial examination was considered a promising young man. Even if he succeeded in one go, he would have to be at least 18 to pass the imperial examination.

This is the case if everything goes well. In fact, it may take even longer.

Therefore, in order to prevent Mu Anzhi from feeling too much pressure or embarrassed at that time, Mu Lezhi never mentioned going to the Imperial College.

Mu Lezhi didn't expect his father to suddenly change his mind. He was really confused and didn't know what his father was thinking.

"Isn't it because too many things have happened recently?" Mu Anzhi sighed and said softly, "Although my father has been reinstated, the issue of the crown prince has not been decided yet, and there will be disputes in the future.

I'm afraid the imperial examination won't go as smoothly as usual, and something might happen, so my father wants to send us to the Imperial College. At least no matter what happens, it won't affect the students of the Imperial College."

Although there are two princes now, one is fourteen years old and the other is six years old, it seems that only the eldest prince can enter the court to handle government affairs, and the second prince is still just a child.

But three years later, the eldest prince will be seventeen years old, and the second prince will be nine or ten years old.

In another three years, the eldest prince will be 13 years old, and the second prince will be just years old. By then, the court will probably not be the same as it is now. Even if the second prince's mother's family uses some tricks, the second prince will be the examiner of all candidates for the imperial examination six years later.

Although there was a gap of six years, which sounds long, it was actually just two spring examinations.

Given the eldest prince's temperament and the ability of his mother's family, coupled with His Majesty's indifference, he could not do anything in these six years. The second prince's mother's family is fully capable of dragging it out for these six years.

The selection of the crown prince has some relationship with the Mu family, but not much. The Mu family is a royalist family with a centuries-old history. Even if the second prince comes to the throne, they will not do anything to the Mu family.

But as for the imperial examination, if Mu Qing and the others cannot pass it in three years, then they will not be able to take the examination again for ten years. No, it should be said that it will be impossible for them to take the examination again until the crown prince is established.

Otherwise, once they get involved, the consequences will be disastrous. The merit of following the dragon, which is envied by everyone, is a hot potato for the Mu family. It is best not to even think about it.

Mu Anzhi thought of this and shook his head silently. They could say that they had caught up with a good time, but the chaos in the court was so serious that it might not be quelled in the next ten years. It was even possible that when they took the exam, they could participate in the Spring Examination with their son.

If they had been braver, they would have either been executed as criminals or high-ranking officials whose names would go down in history.

There is a 50% chance that if you choose the right one you can bring honor to your family. This can be said to be the gamble with the highest success rate.

Mu Qing and Mu Lezhi looked at each other and understood something vaguely. It seemed that they really had no choice but to go to the Imperial College.

"The Imperial College is actually quite good. Many of the students there are our acquaintances. It feels like going home once we go in, and we can play with them at ordinary times." Mu Lezhi looked at the flowers in the yard and said with a smile.

"Yeah." Mu Qing nodded. "My original goal was to return to Yue Qingcheng after passing the exam. Now this way I can save a few years."

Knowing that his two younger brothers were comforting him, Mu Anzhi also showed a smile on his face and looked at the sky outside with high spirits. Yes, the Imperial College is also very good. Ordinary people can't even get in.

The teachers there are the best in the country. By the time you graduate from the Imperial College, you will have a lot of skills.

When Mu Qing returned to his yard, he heard a rustling sound. He walked in the direction of the sound and saw a little fox sitting on a branch, about to pick persimmons.

There was a hint of helplessness in the smile on Mu Qing's face. He had specially asked his servants to leave the persimmons on the tree so that he could enjoy the view when it snowed.
