The students in the Gongyuan were spontaneously divided into three factions, one was the innocent candidates who did not participate in the work of Li You and others, the other was the one who believed in what Li You and others said, and the other faction, although the poor also participated in the night reclamation of Chenghe Restaurant, but the words of Li You and others were dispensable, this group of people was full of confidence in their knowledge, and if they were not shy and funded, they would not participate in this kind of work.

These three factions of people are showing completely different emotions at this moment, the first group of people are basically whispering, some people read the answer of the crazy scholar, and whispered about whether the prince will give this kind of crazy person, of course, there are many people who don't believe it, after all, what His Royal Highness the Prince did in the Chongwen Pavilion is still in their eyes, Li Chengqian can say that except for some problems with his legs, there is no fault on his body that can be singled out.

The second group of people was terrified at this time, they didn't know why Zhang Zizai and Liu Shi, who had memorized the answers together, wanted to come in with the answers, no matter what, it didn't make sense, and so many people had read the answers, and after a while, the test questions were sent down, and everyone found that these two people had really read the test questions, so it was not difficult to suspect that there were more people who would have seen the test questions, and this exam might be invalidated.

The third group of people is a different kind of thinking, on the one hand, they don't care whether this test question is true or not, they firmly believe that their knowledge can make them famous, as for the great assistance of the king of Chu, the king of Wu, the king of Wei and others, they actually only know that the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is involved in this matter, and who is the person behind the scenes, they actually don't know at all.

It was only after all the candidates had been inspected that the soldiers entered the lounge on the side and called Li Chengqian and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, all the exams have been tested, except for the two of them who are carrying papers, the rest of the candidates can enter the examination room!" ”

Li Chengqian also recovered his spirits, looked at the side and said, "Let's go, it's time to get down to business!" ”

Xiangxin was still thinking about something, and when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he immediately stood up, and Xie Ziwen, who was lying on Ge You, also stood up together, and went out with Li Chengqian and Xiangxin!

The students outside the house stood in an orderly manner under the leadership of the soldiers, muttering something quietly one by one, and Chen Lao and other officials of the Ministry of Rites also stood in front of them early, and at this time, they stopped saying nothing after seeing Li Chengqian come out, just waiting for the Tang prince to speak.

Li Chengqian felt everyone's comments, this feeling is different from being concerned in the past, these students are the hope of Datang, their eyes are also full of hope when they look at them at this time, Li Chengqian feels more and more that what he did before is right, if the future of the Tang Dynasty is above these people who rely on relationships or rely on thorough questions to enter the court, then the future of Datang is hopeless.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Chengqian stepped on the high platform step by step, and the bonfires burning on both sides seemed to be a renewed hope, Li Chengqian only understood why Li Shimin wanted to let himself meddle in these seemingly mysterious things, if he didn't understand the dirty things below at this time, if he ascended the throne in the future, the flattery of the people under his hands would have nowhere to understand these things.

Li Chengqian's footsteps seemed to be infinitely amplified, and every step became very powerful, like a hammer hammering on the candidate's heart, this kind of nervousness can be contagious in the crowd, especially in the second group, they feel that the air around them seems to be frozen, and their ears are also full of dark sounds, one by two, they feel that their hearts are about to jump out of their mouths!

Li Chengqian stood in the middle and looked around at his people, although he had followed Li Shimin and was also watched by the people in the past, but the feeling at this time was completely different, Li Chengqian's temperament also made earth-shaking changes, and the satisfaction on the side was also a little trance, I don't know if Li Chengqian at this time is really him, Li Chengqian has been pretending in the past, or suddenly Li Chengqian has changed, these are not satisfactory can be seen!

Xie Ziwen, who followed behind him, was a little surprised, because in his eyes, a giant dragon seemed to appear behind Li Chengqian, and this giant dragon seemed to have been asleep for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad when he was suddenly awakened at this time.

Li Chengqian took the answers collected by the soldiers on the side, held them in his hands above his head, looked at the students below and said: "Candidates, I don't know if you have seen these answers in my hand, and I don't know who sent the madman at the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard, and I was blamed on the day of the Spring Festival!" ”

The candidates below also laughed, but some people laughed from the bottom of their hearts, and some people did laugh helplessly, Li Chengqian glanced at the expressions of the candidates and said: "This is just my thoughts before I saw this answer, when I really saw the content of this paper, I was shocked, these answers are really what I once wanted to use as exam questions!" ”

The candidates below were also a little surprised, on the one hand, they didn't know what Li Chengqian was saying this for, and on the other hand, Li Chengqian said that he had wanted to use it, did it prove that Li Chengqian did not plan to use this question at this time, and everyone's attention was on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the test questions from Tang Jian in the morning, opened the paint seal in front of all the students, opened it for everyone to see, and said: "You may not know, in order to make this exam fair and just, I didn't finalize the exam questions until yesterday afternoon, and the exam questions in my hand come from the left and right servants, as well as the scholars, this is the question I asked them to help me out as the prince, this is really a question for the country and the people!" ”

Saying that, Li Chengqian threw this test question into the fire on the side, regardless of the surprise of all the candidates, Li Chengqian continued: "I believe that you are still scholars, the two servants will not cheat for personal gain, otherwise my Tang Dynasty will be rotten to the roots, and there is no need for them to do this, after all, every big official has the qualifications to promote officials, their titles can be hereditary, their relatives do not have to participate in the imperial examination, they don't need to do this, so how did this exam question I set yesterday revealed?" ”

Li Chengqian looked around at all the candidates, pointed to one of the students who was trembling and said, "Do you know? Can you tell me a little bit about that? ”

The examinee was already blank-eyed, and when he heard Li Chengqian's words, he stayed in place, feeling everyone's comments, and the examinee actually retched, eager to vomit out the breakfast he had eaten yesterday, and fell to his knees.

Li Chengqian only scared him, and he was a little surprised to see this candidate so frightened, but fortunately, the soldiers on the side beckoned him to take this person down to rest, and if he still wanted to take the exam, it shouldn't affect him too much.

Fortunately, the candidates looked at Li Chengqian, wanting to see what effect he was going to perform in this play, but more students wanted to know that the test questions were really leaked, and that Li Chengqian had to do this to turn the situation around.

Li Chengqian looked at the test questions that were about to burn out, and at the same time took out a set of identical covers from his arms and shook them in front of everyone's eyes, "Although I don't know how the previous test questions were known, but it doesn't matter, you can take a look at this set of test questions in my hand, as far as I know, only two people have seen this set of test questions, if someone has seen it in advance, then I can't help it!" ”

Chen Lao's face on the side was a little stiff, and the faces of the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also a little wrong, from the very beginning, someone took the answer and pointed out that Li Chengqian was cheating, they felt that this matter was out of control, and now they saw Li Chengqian take out another set of test questions, this group of people was even more panicked, one of them immediately stood up and accused Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince's move is not in accordance with the rules, the Spring Quiz test questions are very important, how can you just come up with a few sets, you must know that the test questions must be confirmed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, And I also want the confirmation of the officials of Zhongshu Province, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that in order to ensure fairness, he would not let me wait to open the book to watch, and I can still understand, but today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out a set of test questions from his sleeve to really not comply with the rules! ”

The candidates below also discussed, "Yes, who knows how many sets of questions His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared, maybe it's just for everyone to see!" ”

"No, it's easy for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to figure it out, he should do this to protect us!"

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, who knows what he thinks!"
