In this way, the mood of the candidates finally stabilized gradually.

Everyone doesn't know what the imperial court will do with this matter next, will this big competition continue?

They all sat quietly in the examination room, looking at the sky outside in a daze.

More than 10,000 examination houses had to be inspected one by one, complicated and vast, and if you listened attentively, you could see in the distance the shouts of the candidates, the shouts of the officials, the things of sticks and whips, and the people crying loudly.

It couldn't be more chaotic.

Listening to this chaotic commotion, the candidates were all dead and numb.

It wasn't until the afternoon that there was a hint of life.

Because it was too messy, lunch was naturally not prepared, Wu Jie was so hungry that he threw away all the pancakes he brought with him when he entered the examination room yesterday.

By four o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, lunch had finally arrived.

In order to appease the candidates, the examination room specially added dishes. In addition to a meat, a vegetarian soup, and a bowl of rice, add a stir-fried mutton fat and a plate of fried fish. Even rarer is to have a pot of rice wine that is thinner and more mash-like.

Everyone was hungry enough, and after a short rest, their moods had calmed down. Thinking about it again, it is a good thing for everyone to catch the scum who cheats, at least they can do it fairly and openly, and at least there is a glimmer of hope for the middle jinshi. Otherwise, with those seven bastards here, there would be no hope.

Soon everyone was happy and began to munch on it.

Therefore, there was no exam, and although they could not speak, the candidates raised their glasses and gestured to the same year to the east.

The man on the ground naturally raised his glass and smiled, and then drank it all.

The strict examination room suddenly relaxed.

Wu had a large amount of diet, and he was so hungry that after sweeping away the food, he was only seven points full, but he had some regrets in his heart.

Just set your eyes on the candidate opposite. There are new discoveries in this view.

Others ate happily, but Wu Lun sat motionless at the table like a nightmare. The chopsticks didn't move.

I guess I was scared in my heart. The pressure of thinking is too great to swallow, right?

Wu Jie patted the wrench, and a servant walked over; "Mr. Shizhen, what is the matter with you?"

Wu Jie pointed to Wu Lun opposite: "The person opposite is my cousin, and he doesn't seem to have any appetite." Can you give me his food? ”

"Originally, it didn't work, but now there are no exams. If he wants to, it's not that it's not negotiable. The official replied with a smile, and the cheating case in the department has not yet been conclusive. But what should have been confiscated has already been confiscated. Those who should have been arrested were also arrested. There is nothing to do with them, and my heart is relaxed.

Hearing Wu Jie's words, Wu Lun suddenly came to life.

He stood up with a bang, lifted the flask and drank it in one gulp, and then spat at the food on the table: "Let you eat, let you eat!" ”

He was hoarse.

And they were all appalled. The official also looked distressed: "A good table of wine and food, it's so bad." It is important to know that it is not easy to think about a meal and a meal. ”

Wu Jie laughed.

"What are you laughing at, dog thing!" Wu Lun shouted: "Wu Jie, what are you proud of? ”

panicked, the official hurriedly scolded: "Don't make trouble, otherwise you will be killed directly!" ”

Wu Jie heard him swear words, and his face sank: "Wu Lun, you know what I'm happy about." Be an upright person, and take shortcuts for fear that it will harm you. ”

Wu Lun chuckled: "Don't think that I really can't test you, I, Wu Lun, am also a talent." It's still the same sentence we said before, everything will be seen in the science field. I'm definitely going to take the retake exam next, and I'm going to win you in the field. ”

Wu Jie smiled disdainfully: "I'm waiting, waiting for the day when the exam is released, my cousin." ”

This Wu Lun is really annoying, constantly provocative, isn't this a mouth cannon?

Not long after eating, the exam room changed again. After a while, all the officials were removed and replaced by Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans. …,

The atmosphere began to get heavy.

***********************************************************

West Garden, Yuxi Palace.

"Long live the lord, long live the lord!" Several eunuchs knelt on the ground and couldn't stop kowtowing and crying, and Huang Jin was also next to him with red eyes and secretly weeping.

But Chen Hong stood at the door with a cruel smile on his face, his eyes were full of murderous energy: "Long live the lord, make an order, the ministers will kill all those chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”

In the room, Jiajing sat cross-legged on the futon, his face flushed as if he was about to drip blood, but his eyes were closed, his chest rose and fell violently, and he made a loud breathing sound.

There are also two civil officials standing beside Jiajing, one is Zhang Juzheng, a cabinet minister, and the other is Li Chunfang, the 26th year champion of Jiajing who is in the same department as Zhang Juzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Both stood there quietly, their faces worried.

There was such a big thing in the spring last night, and the court was already in chaos, and a whole day has passed from the morning chaos to now. Finally, Jiajing had a word of mouth, and it was rumored that Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang came to Yuxi Palace to discuss.

It is said that such a big case involves two cabinet ministers, and the emperor should first summon the first assistant Yan Song. But he didn't want to let them come over at the first time, it can be seen that Yan Song has completely fallen out of favor with the emperor, and it can also be seen that Zhang and Li have the weight of the emperor in the emperor's mind.

The two of them were happy in their hearts, but they were both well-educated people, and they were very good at cultivating their spirits, and after they came here, they waited there quietly before Jiajing spoke.

The emperor had gone to bed late last night, and as soon as he went to bed for a while, there was a commotion in the examination room.

Until now, I haven't squinted, and I suddenly can't stand it.

I just took a pill, and the power of the medicine has just melted.

Listening to Chen Hong's words, Jiajing opened his blood-red eyes and asked, "Chen Hong, can the relevant criminals be imprisoned?" ”

Chen Hong: "Long live, the candidates who cheated have all been arrested and imprisoned in the Gongyuan, a total of one hundred and twenty-one." Among them, one hundred and one were entrained, sixteen were left jointed, and four were exchanged messages. ”

"Ahh Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang couldn't help but let out a low sigh and took a breath of cold air at the same time. Cheating in the imperial examination field happens from time to time, but there are only three or five people, but this time there are so many, it is really appalling.

"Cluck, cluck, cheating on a large scale, on a scale unheard of since ancient times." Jiajing laughed sharply: "Xu Jie really did a good job!" ”

Chen Hong: "The chief examiner Xu Jie, the deputy chief examiner Zhao Wenhua, together with the eighteenth room examiner and the rest of the outer curtain officials, are now imprisoned in the lobby of the Gongyuan. The examination room has been controlled by the factory guard, please Your Majesty issued an edict to order the three law divisions to investigate and deal with the relevant officials. ”

"Investigate, investigate, investigate?" Jiajing stood up suddenly, and said: "The most important thing for today is to let the candidate continue the exam, and first give him a new question, this is the most important thing, the imperial examination cannot be abolished or stopped!" ”
