In the last tranquility of Chu and Wei, the third imperial examination was held as scheduled......

The most eye-catching this time is undoubtedly the righteous son of the King of Chu, "Deng Ai", who was only fifteen years old and entered the examination room of the imperial examination!

In addition to his identity, it is also because of the reputation that Deng Ai has accumulated over the years, astronomy and geography, article arithmetic, reasoning and civil engineering...... Deng Ai worshipped famous teachers and visited high friends in all aspects, and the people who came and went praised him.

Although because of his identity, some people must attribute these to the identity of "the righteous son of the king of Chu", but the news of Chu spread quickly, and many officials in the court and celebrities in the opposition favored him, so there were also a large number of supporters.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the imperial examination at the end of October, from the second session, the white picture has only been used as a general review, and not the actual invigilation, so it will not be isolated in Jinling University.

It's just that in the end of the day, I was a little nervous, waiting for Deng Ai to return to the palace to report.

Bai Tu is very principled, as soon as the child returns, he will first bathe and change his clothes, and then the family banquet will be held...... Deng Ai didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he definitely didn't take the initiative to ask about the results.

In the end, Deng Ai couldn't stand it first, and his father-in-law was afraid that he would not do well in the exam, so he took the initiative to ask for credit to Bai Tu after the family banquet: "Father-in-law cultivates, Ai Minggan is five, this imperial examination ...... Set to be the top of the list of six doors to repay the father-in-law! ”

When Bai Tu heard this tone that was even more crazy than Fa Zheng at the beginning, he hurriedly comforted: "Xiao Ai, you and my father and son, don't say these kind words...... The top of the list of six doors or something, you just work hard! "I'm afraid Deng Ai's pressure is too much.

After all, the top of the list of six doors......

There are only seven imperial examinations in total!

Co-authorship is to "book" all the other six courses except for the "engineering" that is not too distracted?

I don't know, I think Bai Tu opened a big back door for him......

Half a month later, when it was time for the list to be released, when all the six lists were released, this time...... "backdoor theory" was really popular!

Military Science, Rite Department, Household Department, Criminal Department, Officials Department, Civil Science ......

Deng Ai really dominated...... Six times exactly!

Seven lists, except for engineering, are all "topped" by Deng Ai, at first glance...... I thought the title of this imperial examination was "Deng Ai"!

While the whole country was shocked, it was inevitable that some people also arranged the "backdoor theory" with compassion, some were just gossiping, and some were thinking differently.

It's just because of Bai Tu's reputation, in the territory of Chu, most of the conspiracy theories attribute this to "the officials below want to pat the king of Chu on the back", "the king of Chu actually doesn't know", "the king of Chu was also deceived by his son and dereliction of duty officials" Yunyun......

Directly accuse the king of Chu?

If you really want to do this, I am afraid that it will immediately trigger a backlash - after all, in the eyes of the people of Chu, the king of Chu is omnipotent.

Of course, this statement is a joke for people who really understand the imperial examination process.

The final ranking is determined, but is the King of Chu himself good?

And theoretically, when there is only the King of Chu, the answer sheet is not anonymous......

In other words, Deng Ai's ranking was originally ranked by Bai Tu himself!

However, for the huge controversy caused by the people in just five days after the results of the imperial examination came out, Bai Tu only made them pay attention to the "mastermind behind the scenes", and did not even give too much guidance in the newspaper.

As for the piece that suggested a "thorough investigation of the imperial examination", the white picture was left in the middle and not posted.

In fact, this scene was expected by Bai Tu a few days ago - the final ranking was nominally arranged by Bai Tu himself, but in fact, it was also arranged in the order of each department.

White Charts do have the right to rearrange the order of submissions according to their "preferences", but in fact so far, White Charts have not done so.

Although the imperial examination is also a scoring system now, after all, unlike the academic examination, the questions of the imperial examination are very subjective!

Let Bai Tu personally check it, in addition to showing that the "selection of talents in the imperial examination" is what Bai Tu does, and the people who are in the middle of the examination should remember Bai Tu's kindness, it is also an opportunity for Bai Tu to choose talents who "match their will".

This time, Bai Tu did not change the order specially - the reviewers of the other ministries did not expect that in addition to himself, there were actually five subjects that were Deng Ai's first......

The white pictures have indeed been reviewed one by one, although there are also several outstanding talents emerging, but in terms of the imperial examination answer sheet, there is a clear gap with Deng Ai!

In order to make sure that he did not inherit the habit of "doting on his son", Bai Tu also showed Jia Xu in private and came to the same conclusion, so he ...... Bai Tu did not deliberately avoid suspicion.

On the contrary, after the current public opinion results appeared, Deng Ai locked himself in the house for a day, and it was not until dinner that Zhang Qiying reluctantly entered......

Bai Tu also estimated that when the stinky boy was about to rest, he went to see him once - at what age did you dare to stay with the girl?

Of course, it turned out that Bai Tu thought too much, and when Bai Tu got there, Zhang Qiying was about to leave......

After that, Bai Tu had a sincere conversation with Deng Ai, and Deng Ai ...... It's obviously a lot more modest than before, and it seems that I understand some truths other than "talent"!

I have to say that although Deng Ai's growth environment is completely different from history, or even the opposite, this "naïve" and uncaring problem has been "perfectly" preserved.

Thinking of the idea that before and after the imperial examination, he was full of self-confidence and wanted to win all the championships to give his father-in-law a long face, and now Deng Ai only felt ashamed.

Deng Ai didn't think that the current result was that his father-in-law had opened the back door, but he had clearly realized that some things were ...... It's not just about the technical aspects!

even thought that it was because he was too proud that his father-in-law did not take down his first place in order not to hurt his self-esteem.

Deng Ai in history, because of his average background and stuttering, does not like to make friends with people, so he has the weakness of "not worrying about people's hearts", and now Deng Ai is because he has Bai Tu as a backer, his background is too good, and not only has he corrected his stuttering a long time ago, but his image and personality are all first-class, and the result is ...... began to break away from the mass style of "not worrying about people's hearts".

This time Deng Ai can understand this, and Bai Tu already feels that he is not at a loss.

And now the criticism outside is ......

Bai Tu didn't care at all, because two days later, he naturally had a way to completely reverse public opinion!

Seven days after the results were announced, it was the time for the new branch and the first person to go to Jinling Ji and awaken the official seal.

With Deng Ai's ability, plus the bonus of the top of the imperial examination, plus ...... Bai Tu has already discussed with Jin Ling Ji, and will provide the maximum expansion of the official seal at that time - as long as the ability is excellent, the direct gold seal purple ribbon is not a problem!

The current Jin Ling Ji has the ability to do this, and the consumption is completely within the affordable range......

At that time, the voice of doubt can naturally disappear, and then Bai Tu will publish the exam papers, so that everyone can see the gap with their own eyes - it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, the columnists of the Di newspaper will write analysis reports for you!

As for the people behind the scenes who want to do things this time, Bai Tu can also take advantage of the situation to harvest a batch, and it is estimated that the other princes will be sad and sad for these secrets that are hard to bury and buy......
