Wang Mang's meaning before leaving was very simple, Zhao Xin continued to go back to the Ministry of Rites to work, and there was no need to continue to reflect at home.

Zhao Xin's biggest worry these days is not that he will be dismissed, but that he will be cut off, but now that Wang Mang has said a word, he directly skipped the worst result, and when it came to the best result, Zhao Xin almost fainted with excitement.

For Wang Mang, Zhao Xin can't lose it at this time, the cultivation of a Ministry of Rites Shangshu can't be completed overnight, at least there is no one under his command who can replace Zhao Xin.

And Zhao Xin's answer also made Wang Mang very satisfied, at least this guy didn't really borrow wine at home to kill his sorrows, he was still very concerned about the government, in addition, the work of the Ministry of Rites during this time did make Wang Mang very dissatisfied, the two waiters of the Ministry of Rites almost didn't know how to fart, and the examinees had changed so much, they didn't feel it at all.

Zhao Xin returned to the Ministry of Rites to sit in the hall, which surprised many people in the court, and some people wondered if Zhang Jian would also return to the Ministry of Officials, but then there was no movement, and many people immediately understood that Zhang Jian really annoyed the emperor this time.

As many as nearly 5,000 scholars participated in the examination, covering almost all regions of the Great Qin, which was called unprecedented by historians in the past three hundred years.

This time, countless geniuses have also emerged, most of these scholars can't even enter the second class in this session, but most of them are first-class talents in the past.

The Great Qin examiners are divided into three people, twenty-seven people in the second class, seventy people in the third class, and several people in the fourth class (the same as the third class).

Wang Mang slipped around, only knowing that this time the examiners had prodigy Ma Liang, the great talent Xie An, Wang Dun, and when the examiners officially started, they knew that although these three were powerful, there were many people who were not weaker than them, but they were low-key and didn't show up before.

For example, the four great talents of Jiangnan who have emerged in the past ten years, the eight monsters of Jiangnan ten years ago, and the four heroes of the north who have been famous in Chang'an in recent years, and the Seven Heroes of Biansai in the distance, and even the six immortals of Peach Valley, who have been in seclusion for 20 years, have come to join in the fun.

The moment they saw the list of examiners, the officials present were dumbfounded, you must know that many of these people are their seniors, and they themselves asked others to teach when they were examiners, and now let them judge their teachers, they are not qualified.

According to Lu Yao, who came from Xinyang, he usually can't study at home, and he dropped the chain at a critical moment, and now he is afraid of being embarrassed, so what did he do earlier.

With the announcement of the list of examiners, the people of the entire Chang'an City fell into bursts of cheers, and the appearance of every celebrity made the entire Chang'an crazy.

The Imperial Study.

The atmosphere here was quite depressing, and several bigwigs of the imperial court knelt at Wang Mang's feet with gloomy faces, with calm faces, not daring to speak.

Looking at the faces of these court bigwigs in front of him, Wang Mang snorted coldly and casually smashed a book on Zhao Xin's head.

Zhao Xin smiled bitterly in his heart, originally he was reinstated, and he still wanted to do a big job, who knew that he would have to carry such a big black pot before he figured out the situation.

Leak the question!

Or don't write the leak question, but this time the examiner has a big problem, and now the rest is hard to say, but first of all, the leak question is definitely necessary.

The question came from the Ministry of Rites, and he couldn't run away if he wanted to.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on?" Wang Mang said coldly.

In fact, the examiner was very successful this time, but I didn't expect that in the end, something went wrong, in fact, no one present until now knows what the problem is, but there is a period of certainty, that is, there is a problem with the published list of scholars.

The list of the first and second class is not a big problem, but the list of the third and fourth class (the same as the third class) is a big problem.

First of all, the six immortals of Peach Valley were all thrown into the top four, what are the six immortals of Peach Valley, that is the six great talents who shocked the world twenty years ago, these six lords came to Beijing to take the examiner together, and then walked halfway, I don't know what was crazy, it was actually a brother of the opposite sex, and then lived directly in seclusion in Peach Valley, for many years, although he lived a hermit life, but the name was very big.

Because these six immortals have taught a lot of apprentices, and now many of the backbone of the yamen in Chang'an are these six apprentices, and the teacher has actually been put into the top four list, can the apprentices be willing? As soon as the list was announced, the land of these six people ran to the palace gate and knelt at the noon gate, asking the emperor to help them seek justice.

Then the side stuffed the seven heroes, three stayed in the top three list, three stayed in the top four list, and there was one who didn't even enter the top four, don't look at these seven names are a bit rustic, but they are very famous.

Great Qin has been at war with the grassland all the year round, and these seven have been rooted in the border counties for 16 years, and almost every time they repel the attack of the grassland, they have the credit of these seven, that is, these seven do not come to the examiners, and with the merits of these seven, it is completely enough to be a county commander or something.

Moreover, these seven have only learned people, and the poems written by Biansai are even more Ming to the mainland, and the Qi country in the far east has respected these seven to the fullest, but now one of these seven has not even entered the top four, which is beyond saying, the officials and officers from Biansai were the first to be unwilling, and directly wrote to Wang Mang.

There are also the eight geeks in Jiangnan, all of whom were thrown into the top four list, these eight have their own strengths, before they became geeks, they were also suave talents, in those days, I don't know how many people were fans of these eight, even now, there are countless people who are chasing them.

This kind of pursuit is not lip service, for example, Zheng Qiao, the head of the Eight Strange Talents, a painting is priced at 10,000 taels of silver, and some people rush to buy it, and now this Mr. Zheng, who is worth 10,000 taels of silver for a painting, is actually worthy of the top four list, and the tail of the crane, almost didn't even enter the top four.

Seeing this, the scholars in Jiangnan were the first to be unwilling, shouting that the list was fake, there were many scholars in Jiangnan, and there were many celebrities, so they coaxed together, and the scholars who originally thought that there was no problem with the list actually found a lot of problems in the list, and all of them were presented to the emperor, which made Wang Mang angry and directly called the relevant people over.

Zhao Xin smiled wryly, what is this called.

Facing Wang Mang's questioning, Zhao Xin said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, as soon as the scholars made a fuss, the minister immediately invited Lord Shen Buharm of Dali Temple, Lord Haifeng of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, Zhongshu Ling Changsun Wuji and Shangshu Ling Shangyang, and read the test papers together, frankly speaking, from the test papers, there is a problem, but it is not a big problem. ”

"Isn't it a big deal?

"The leak should be a real leak, but judging from the test paper, the leak is only a small range of leaks, which does not have much impact on the final result. Zhao Xin wiped a cold sweat.

"What does it mean that there is no impact, leaking the question is leaking, the problem is the problem, Lord Zhao, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you can't talk nonsense. Haifeng interrupted Zhao Xin at this time, and then looked at Wang Mang and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"
