"Moreover, among the students of Guozijian this year, such as Li Gongzi and Lin Gongzi, they have very high hearts, so how can they be in the same stream with them? Not to mention that those articles look similar in structure, but the content is not the same. It should have been combed. It is a bit far-fetched to insist that it is fraud. ”

In fact, the main reason has not yet been said, if they are all children of high-ranking officials and want to participate in the imperial examination and get ranked, then they would have acted a few years earlier, as long as they talk to their parents, why wait until Xiyue teaches them to act?

The official department nodded: "I think about it too." What does that mean?"

The waiter pointed to his desk and asked him to take a look.

"This year's candidates are really amazing, if it weren't for the fact that Guozijian's several articles were too eye-catching, Guozijian would have been in the limelight this year. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites picked out two copies, put them in front of him, and said, "This level of Jinshi in previous years should not be like this. ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites said: "It stands to reason that this year's questions are not simple, and there is not enough time. These are all students who have just graduated, young and inexperienced, but they have popped up one after another, which really shouldn't be. ”

The official book picked it up and looked at it. The writing is removed, the topic is tight, the logic is clear, and the points that should be answered are all answered completely. It's really good. It's not a crustacean, and the first is desirable.

He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said strangely: "Liu Ling, who is this?"

Rite Waiter: "Oh, Shang Shu may not know, this is the youngest grandson of the Rite Servant." This year's apprentices of Wenyue Academy, which just opened last year. ”

The official department nodded: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Where is the talent born?

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites nodded and said, "The ink scripture and the essays are all very good." ”

If Li Yutao and Lin Weng Shao are both literary and substantial, then this Liu Gongzi is what Xiyue said is gorgeous.

Comparison, duality, allusions, quotations. If you look at it carefully, you feel a little cluttered.

If you really list the test points one by one, then Li and Feng are not as detailed as this Liu Gongzi.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites looked at Shangshu silently. Accustomed to articles. It is clear which ones take time to figure out, and which ones are time-limited to rush work.

"Not necessarily, Xu is betting on the topic. The official Shangshu rolled up his sleeves and said: "There are still most of the volumes that have not been approved, look at it again, look at it again." ”

In the next five days, the secretary of the ministry and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites went through all the scrolls.

The examiners wrote the "through" papers, and the left and right together were almost hundreds. So that everyone had to be a little suspicious. You say it's a coincidence, just one or two people, how can there be so many coincidences?

It's just that the object of suspicion of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials is a little different from everyone else.

The official secretary put away a few volumes, temporarily sealed them, and brought them to His Majesty.

At this time, the emperor was talking to Shantai Shengze and Shantai Shengjin, and asked him what he thought of the current situation in recent days. Recently, with the help of Xiyue, Shantai Shengze has won the emperor's trust, although it is said that Shantai Shengjin is still the emperor's favorite son, but the emperor does not seem to want to hand over the country to him, and Shantai Shengli has changed under the background of these two brothers, which is what Xiyue wants to see the most. It's just that Xiyue has never reassured this person......

No matter how much effort you put in, you can't get what you want.

The emperor waved his sleeves and announced his admonition.

The emperor smiled and said: "Wang Shangshu, how is the paper approved? Among the candidates this year, are there any materials that can be used?" ”

"There are a hundred people?" The emperor was slightly startled and frowned: "Double as many as in previous years?"

The official raised his head: "Exactly." ”

Then he told the story in general.

The emperor stretched out his hand, took the scroll in his hand, opened it and glanced at it a few times.

The emperor glanced at their test papers, but felt that the writings they wrote were similar, and carefully took their papers and looked at them a few more times. They probably didn't cheat either. The emperor thought in his heart, this Xiyue is still quite a set, although their writing is similar, but this should not be cheating.

At this time, Yutai Shengze came to the palace, he always came to the palace during this time, and he could feel the change in his father's attitude towards him......

He first asked the emperor to say goodbye. When the emperor saw that he was a sudden emperor, the feelings in his heart were actually very complicated, but now he was obviously the most suitable to inherit his position, and he moved in his heart and asked this matter to Shantai Shengze.

In fact, the emperor has a good idea of this fraud case, but he just ......

At this time, Shantai Shengjin also came to the palace to greet the emperor, and also looked at the stack of case files handed over by the emperor to Shantai Shengze.

When he saw the test papers of the students, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he really deserved to be the woman he had a crush.

And Yutai Shengze was also amazed at Xiyue, although he was also listening to Xiyue's class, but he didn't complete Xiyue's homework like other students. Therefore, he only listened to these strategies, but looking at the appearance of these students, they were completely written in accordance with Xiyue's teachings, so there was no fraud at all. He stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Father, the fourth brother and I are also observing every class of the sir's class, and this method of examination is indeed taught to them by the master, and there should be no possibility for them to cheat." It's all their strength. Although they used a little cleverness.

Shantai Shengjin also interjected beside him, "Yes, Father, this is the method that the gentleman taught them at that time. ”

The emperor nodded, saying that he already knew, in fact, he knew who the person who cheated this time was, in fact, he had already suspected it since the establishment of the new academy last year, although there was nothing suspicious last year, but with his intuition as the emperor, he already doubted it, but there was no evidence, and this time he had already prepared, and he would definitely be able to arrest those who cheated.

It's just that the emperor still called Xiyue to the palace.

At this time, Dr. Taifu's people were already waiting here, and there were all the princes, after the emperor asked Xiyue, who was kneeling at the bottom, to get up, he handed the examination papers of the students of the Guozijian this time to the hands of the doctor who was also standing next to him, and said to him, "Doctor, please evaluate these test papers." "This can be regarded as a test for Xiyue, if he can succeed......

The doctor glanced at all the papers of the students of the Guozijian, raised his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, the students of the Guozijian are obviously opportunistic! These articles are quite miraculous. ”

The students of Guozijian listened to what he said, but they were indifferent. It's just that he can't escape Xi Yue's scolding.

Xiyue chuckled lightly and walked out of the column: "It's just that the lines are similar." Different people make it, and naturally it is different articles. Is it inappropriate that the gentleman made such a judgment without looking at it carefully? Is this an impromptu question from the prince, or do you think there is any injustice?"

The doctor put down the paper and said, "Excellent is not excellent in students." Or, do you dare to compare your earlier coursework?"

"You're not in the students, what's the you?" Xiyue approached him, "Guozijian, why is it so desirable for students all over the world? It's not uncommon to be a hero. ”

Doctor: "What do you mean by that?"

"The so-called sir, isn't it just how to teach students how to compose, how to behave, and how to do things?" Xiyue said, "It's true that you are not a student, you should be a good teacher." As the saying goes, there is no class in teaching. Isn't this a matter of ability?"

Everyone gasped.

What a big breath!

To put it so bluntly, other gentlemen, including those in the prison, are not as good as her?

Seeing their eyes, Xiyue raised her hand and said, "I didn't say it, I just followed this gentleman's words." Otherwise, what does the gentleman mean?" The doctor's angry beard trembled, and he pointed at Xiyue but was speechless.

"Okay," the emperor roared directly, slapping his palm on the desk, "Doctor, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

The person who was called a doctor by the emperor immediately knelt down, and his heart trembled, this is impossible, the emperor is absolutely impossible to know: "Your Majesty, old minister." This Mr. Li is too young and frivolous, and it is really impossible to teach students in this way! I ask the emperor to take another imperial examination again, and cancel the opportunity for Guozijian to participate in the imperial examination this time. Saying that, he arched his hand to the emperor who was in his hands.

The emperor just snorted coldly, and said to him in a cold voice: "Doctor, what have you done, you should know very well in your own heart, right? That academy should have been founded by you, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, you really disappointed me." ”

The doctor's body immediately trembled and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, you have been wronged! The old minister has never done such a thing." ”

At this time, the doctor still refused to admit it, and the emperor was impatient to confront the doctor, and waved his hand behind him, asking the eunuch behind him to present a piece of paper to the doctor. The white-bearded doctor shuddered when he saw the words on the paper. immediately pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, it's the ministers and ghosts who have lost their minds." Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen this time, Your Majesty. ”

The emperor said: "The doctor is cheating in the imperial examination, the crime is unforgivable, read his hard work, exempt him from the death penalty, remove him from the doctor's position, and return to his hometown to retire." ”

In this way, this time the imperial examination came to an end. Within a few days, the emperor announced the results of the imperial examination, and a few days later, the scientific examination list was officially announced.

As soon as this ranking came out, Chang'an suddenly boiled.

The rest of the people couldn't see it.
