Chapter 64 Cheating with the Examiner (Update 1)

There are countless talented people in Chang'an City. Not only the candidates are concerned about Qiu Wei, but many officials and people are also very concerned about it. Although the results of the examination are difficult to predict, many students have already gained reputation before taking the examination.

For example, Xue Wen, although he came from a poor family and came all the way from a border town. Because of his status, he was often looked down upon by people from aristocratic families, but his talent and reputation had long been spread in Chang'an City. Half a year ago, even more

He became famous far and wide with his song "Bamboo Ode" and was called the Master of Bamboo Ode.

Among the students of this generation, many people have long guessed that he is Jieyuan.

As for other candidates, people also have their own concerns.

However, the city of Chang'an was filled with the fragrance of golden osmanthus on the day when the ranking was released.

The first place is not the highly anticipated Xue Wen, nor any other strong opponent, but a golden man who has never heard of a name before!

The list was crowded with people. Before Xue Wen could see it in person, people had already started looking for his name.

The first place, gold broken jade.

Second place, Zhao Qian.

…

There are hundreds of people on the list, and Xue Wen's name is impressively ranked at number 50!

This is jaw-dropping!

The performance of the students is usually seen by everyone, and no one expected this result! After all, based on Xue Wen's talent alone, he should be in the top three, not Jieyuan. But now, not only is he not in the top three, he is even ranked in the middle.

"Is it possible that this Mr. Bamboo Ode just gained a false reputation, and that the most famous poem "Bamboo Ode" in Chang'an was actually written by someone else?"

"I'm just saying, how can a poor scholar from a small family be able to read a top scholar! He must have stolen other people's poems. The top scholar on the list is actually the real talent!"

"Don't rush to judgment yet. How come I have never heard of the top few on the list, but the few people who are usually favored by everyone have all come to the back? I can't even find their names! Mr. Xue

I have read all the poems and articles in my daily life, and even if I were not Jieyuan, I would not be ranked like this!"

…

Chang'an City was abuzz with people, and when the news reached the Wei Mansion, Wang Yinchuan had just eaten his breakfast.

"Madam, the names on the list are all here." Butler Liu presented the copied list in front of her.

Wang Yinchuan swallowed the soft and fragrant porridge in his mouth, wiped the corners of his lips unhurriedly, glanced up and down at the list, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"It's really interesting."

The woman's lazy voice sounded in the small dining room.

Butler Liu stood respectfully aside. Hearing Wang Yinchuan's sigh, he said, "Why is Madam suddenly concerned about Qiu Wei?"

No one from the Wei Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion went to the examination hall, so Butler Liu was naturally puzzled.

Wang Yinchuan had a faint smile on his lips.

"You will know when the news comes out in the morning." Wang Yinchuan put down the long list, scanned a few names with his slender jade fingers as thin as green onions, and said, "Jin family in Luoyang, Zhao family in Qinghe, and these few

, but anyone who has had friendship before, please don’t interact with me in the future.”

"Yes." Although he was confused, Butler Liu always followed the instructions given by his wife.

After Wang Yinchuan finished his instructions, he picked up the spoon again and took the porridge into his mouth. It was still fragrant, soft and glutinous, and very sweet.

"Chang'an City is about to change."

Butler Liu who was outside said tremblingly to a boy next to him, "Go quickly, follow the madam's instructions and cut off all contact immediately. Also, madam drank too much porridge today, so tell the kitchen to write it down quickly. Go quickly."

The golden osmanthus in the Wei Mansion is fragrant, the wind and clouds in the sky are changing, and the waves are treacherous.

*

Just as Wang Yinchuan expected, the sky above the court was about to change.

In the huge Wuji Hall, the ministers knelt on the ground. The saint on the dragon throne looked at the list in his hand with a gloomy face. A needle could be heard in the hall. The ministers knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe. No one dared. Facing the emperor's raging anger, some even trembled, fearing that the anger would burn themselves.

When the emperor was angry, blood flowed thousands of miles away. Millions of corpses were laid on the ground, bleeding and drifting in the oars.

"What did Ruan Qing just say?"

Kneeling in front of everyone, Ruan Qingzhu's body was as straight as a pine, as indomitable as a green bamboo, and his face was full of determination, "I say that someone cheated with the examiner in Qiu Wei this time, and many people were implicated. I request your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the examination room!" "

"Cheating? Accompanying the examiner?" The emperor's eyes wandered over the trembling ministers. It was just a look, but it almost frightened many people. "Ruan Qing, you must pay attention to evidence when you speak."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone among the ministers came out holding a wat board and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Minister Ruan is just nonsense! Not to mention that the examiner and the two invigilators are all counted by your Majesty. Your Majesty knows them well. With only one sentence, Ruan Shilang not only slandered several examiners, but also rejected His Majesty's vision!"

Immediately afterwards, another person also came out of the queue, "Your Majesty, I also think that Minister Ruan is slandering others. He didn't say it sooner or later, but he said right after the results were released that if he was collaborating in cheating, he demanded a thorough investigation. I personally think that we should investigate Minister Ruan first!"

"Oh, Sun Aiqing, what do you think of this?" said the saint on the dragon throne.

Sun Qian said, "Three days ago, His Majesty appointed Wang Shouwen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, to be the examiner, and Chen Zhengdao, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Ruan Shilang to be the invigilators. The head of the Academy, Wang and Chen Shangshu, have been officials for many years. Not only do they do things safely, but they are also among the people. Zhongye has a good reputation, and His Majesty knows his character best. In order to prevent anyone from cheating, His Majesty announced the examiners three days in advance. The "collaboration with the examiners" that Ruan Shilang said was only three days, and since the candidates were announced, the three examiners They are all under strict supervision by those who live in the palace, and unknown persons are not allowed to approach. In these three days, how can it be possible to cheat by passing news to the outside world!"

"Could it be that Mr. Ruan is trying to say that he cannot trust the strict security of the Imperial Palace, or that he cannot trust His Majesty? Moreover, Mr. Ruan had not suspected it before, but he had already prepared for cheating in the examination hall in the early morning of the day when the results were released. It must be that I had prepared it early, and when the list came out, I invited your Majesty. This came out only after knowing the list. I believe that it is not the examination room that your Majesty should investigate thoroughly, but Minister Ruan. It is clear that he wants to cheat! He couldn't stand that the people on the list were not his students, so he became jealous and deliberately disturbed people's hearts!"

As soon as this was said, many people came out to echo it.

The emperor on the dragon throne showed no emotion at all, he just put the list in his hand into the eunuch's tray beside him.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?" The emperor looked calmly at Wang Yun, who was at the front of the queue and said nothing.

Wang Yun walked to the front holding the wat board. Because he injured his leg in a battle in the early years, he was exempted from kneeling.
