118 Preside over the re-examination
The sky is as clear as a piece of blue paper, a few thin white clouds, as if they have been sunburned by the light, slowly floating with the wind, the red delicate sun adds a touch of color to the sunny day, and the sunny day is really refreshing.
Yan'an City is under martial law today, the streets and alleys are full of officers and soldiers, four horses that can't see the head and tail of the head and tail escort the emperor's sedan chair slowly walking, the people on both sides have knelt on the ground and shouted long live long live long live, and there are curious eyes to look over.
"Who's that?"
"King Qi?"
"It doesn't seem to be His Royal Highness King Qi.."
"Who else could it be.."
Today's re-examination venue is set up outside the palace, there is no search, there is no cold single room, and the periphery is surrounded by a wall of human flesh surrounded by officers and soldiers, and many people have gathered here, waiting to watch this rare scene in a hundred years.
"The emperor gets on and off the sedan chair~"
"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
The emperor chuckled and nodded, and the prince personally helped him get out of the sedan chair, and at a glance there were all kneeling crowds, including the surrounding officers and soldiers, as well as the senior members of the court who had been waiting for a long time in the field, only when everyone quietly raised their eyes, they were attracted by another person.
"Which prince is wearing a folding fan on his waist?"
"King Qi? King Qi seems to be kneeling there."
Wearing a crown, wearing a black-bottomed dragon robe, embroidering one dragon on the front and back of the shoulders, five dragons on the waist, one dragon on the front, nine dragons in the front and back of the folds, two dragons, four dragons, two dragons with collars, and one dragon with upright sleeves. The emperor's eyes showed a hint of affinity, which made everyone who surrendered to the ground feel more virtuous.
The prince walked on the right hand side of the emperor, dressed in an apricot yellow court dress, embroidered with four five-clawed golden dragons on the front, and embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon on both shoulders.
And what has always puzzled everyone is the man on the left hand side of the emperor, with a golden crown on his head, a vermilion right brocade robe, a collar embroidered with a stealing curve, a curly grass dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread spreading from the shoulders all the way down, and a black waist seal wrapped with gold wire around the waist is tightened...
"Come to think of it, that's King Yu."
"Oh my God, it really is."
The last person to speak was quickly covered by the person next to him, what kind of occasion is this, who is walking in front, although there are constant words of discussion in his ears, but he does not dare to be so loud, after all, a human life, in this era, can be taken down by the emperor in the blink of an eye.
"Fang Xing, there are so many people today, don't mess up."
"Then the emperor will have to face me."
Fang Xing responded in a low voice, making the emperor smile, today's Fang Xing is too bright, but his face has always been cold and makes people feel pressure, there will always be people who want Fang Xing and the prince to make a fool of themselves, or simply throw their lives here, but Fang Xing still wants to live for two more years...
"Don't kneel, get up."
"Your Majesty."
The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the middle, holding a canopy behind him, sitting on the right with the crown prince Bai Yuqi and others, on the left headed by Fang Xing, the right minister, Wubu Shangshu and other court officials, Bai Yuxiu moved a chair by himself and sat at the end, there is no place for him here...
"Announce it."
"Xuanzhou county admission reexamination."
In the center of the field were hundreds of low tables and puff mats, and the officers and soldiers led several groups of men of different ages into the field, these people sat down after saluting in a regular manner, and the distance between the tables was only two steps away, but this was under the emperor's nose, and no one should think that their lives were too long.
"King Yu has a saying that is very right, the foundation of the empire lies in hundreds of counties, and although the magistrate is not high, it is the cornerstone of the empire, so you need to show your due style and style today."
"Your Majesty."
The closest position to the emperor is Wang Jiexin, who is the leader of the candidates, is the same as Yu Yuanfan, the two of them led and kowtowed, Yu Yuanfan obviously enjoyed it very much, looking at Wang Jiexin with a difficult face, he was eager to try, the title of the top three would not change, but he still wanted to try to see if he could catch up with Wang Jiexin in writing...
"King Yu, say it."
"Yes, don't delay your time, there are only two re-exams today, the first one is the ancient law and character of the ancient cang, the law more than ten questions have not been answered correctly, directly dismissed from the staff and ten boards.. Those whose character and character are not up to the mark shall be punished with sentencing. ”
After Fang Xing finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to laugh, and waved his hand to the scholars on the side, and the trained children held the test papers and sent them down one by one, ten questions... Fang Xing is a bit too harsh, naturally some people are not convinced, and even doubt whether the prince has answered the first ten questions...
Only this is too much, born in the royal family and enjoyed a privileged life since childhood, what is paid is also incomparable to ordinary people, the prince can memorize the ancient laws of the time at the age of five, Bai Yuqi completed the same thing a few months later than the prince.
"Is King Yu only going to be like this after all these days?"
"Who said no, if you want me to say that I should retake the exam in the palace, what does this look like."
Only at the beginning of the opening of a pillar of incense, there was a minister who began to be dissatisfied with the duty Fang Xing, and the voice was deliberately low, but it could be heard by the emperor and others, but this place was not arranged by Fang Xing, although she and the emperor felt good today, but these people pretended to be talking about Fang Xing on the surface, but in fact they attacked the prince...
"Prince, you've worked hard these days.."
"Why, it's good if my father is satisfied."
The surrounding people did not know about the various contests in the field, but they appreciated the decision of the imperial court very much, allowing them to see the emperor and others, as well as the officials in various places in the future, but soon the sharp-eyed people saw something, because they did not dare to make a noise and could only stare resentfully.
"King Qi thinks today's venue is not good?"
"Erchen doesn't dare."
I don't dare to return, but it's true that I think it's not good, but the emperor is blindly partial, he only has nowhere to spread his anger, but Bai Yuqi doesn't want to think about it, although the queen has sucked away a large wave of power after being pregnant, but he secretly used so many means to make many of the prince's supporters change, does the emperor really not know?
"Everything has been given to the prince, you are leisurely.."
"Alas, this tea has not been eaten, and the emperor feels sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince."
Fang Xing put down the teacup regretfully, the interaction between her and the emperor was very wonderful, and it also made everyone envious, thinking that the emperor's children would be afraid of three points when they saw him, and because the emperor was indeed a difficult person to get along with, but Fang Xing was always different everywhere.
"It's just a little thing, and the retainer is just supervising it from the sidelines."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have lost weight these days..."
When the words fell, Bai Yuqi, who was still very uncomfortable, smiled instantly, with a slight mockery on his face, who is this prince looking for, is there a time when they interject? The emperor's face quickly turned cold.
"Yo, are you willing to move?"
"The prince has been working hard these days, Fang Xing has to do something, the emperor is sitting.."
Fang Xing got up and arched his hand, with a deferential smile on his face, just this moment of effort, someone dared to make some small moves under her eyes, so many people watched, she resolutely wanted to let those courtiers understand what she was busy with these days.
Passing by Wang Jiexin at the beginning, Fang Xing lowered his eyes and looked at the test paper, this person is really hardworking.. He took out the folding fan from his waist, tapped the palm of his left hand slightly, walked lightly past the candidates one by one, listened when he walked closer to the middle, and took two steps back.
"You are?"
"See His Royal Highness King Yu, Yang Wenbo, the magistrate of Ningmu County, Yuzhou.."
Fang Xing took a step back and opened up a little distance, rubbed his head with a folding fan and looked at the desktop, a test paper made this Yang Wenbo write potholes, but I am sorry for such a nice name, Fang Xing took the folding fan and nodded at the scholar in the back.
"Yang Wenbo, the former magistrate of Ningmu County, Yuzhou, was disqualified from the re-examination, beaten with 20 canes, and not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for five years."
"What.. Why? ”
Fang Xing continued to walk forward mercilessly, Yang Wenbo was shocked and panicked, many candidates couldn't care about the test papers in front of them, and followed the sound to wonder what happened, one of the two scholars who came over took a pen and paper to record, and the other opened Yang Wenbo's cuffs.
"Cheating..."
"I just saw it, and I dare to do this in front of the emperor, His Royal Highness King Yu is considered to be a light punishment."
Fang Xing is cooperating with the emperor with his actions, telling the world that this time the court is serious, it is indeed important to know the law, and only character and character are indispensable, the reason why he did not arrange a search is to see how bold these people can be.
"You are?"
"Humble, humble... Humble position, An Junzhe, the magistrate of Guangqu County, Nan County.."
"Ha, who knows the rules, was once the magistrate of Guangqu County, Nanjun County, An Junzhe, disqualified from the re-examination, beaten with 20 court canes, and not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for five years."
"Your Highness.. I beg your Highness to be merciful."
The two scholars immediately walked over, the old rule, one put away the test paper on the side, sat with a pen to record, and the other opened the evidence of An Junzhe's cheating, lest someone say something about her afterwards, and then whispered a noisy end in An Junzhe's ear, and the examination room was instantly quiet.
"What's your name?"
"Humble... Your Highness spares your life..."
Fang Xing sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly and walked away, and immediately two more scholars came over, only this time someone was curious, how did Fang Xing see it, this person's answer was engraved on the pen with very small handwriting, and it may not be possible to find it when you look closely..
"Now give you a chance, all cheaters will automatically leave the scene, and the criminal law will be halved."
After Fang Xing finished speaking, he stood in front of the emperor, everyone's eyes fell on her at once, and they only looked at the left and right sides suspiciously, and sat there without moving, after a long time, Fang Xing waved his hand and turned the fan, and a group of scholars began to follow Fang Xing forward.
"Disqualify for the re-examination, be punished with 20 canes, and be banned from participating in the imperial examination for five years. This, this.. This, and this..."
Fang Xing's speed was extremely fast, every time the folding fan reached a person, two scholars immediately stepped forward to deal with it, and the people who were pointed out had a sense of dizziness, and several officials and many people present began to doubt Fang Xing's judgment, and some people couldn't help but come forward to investigate, and the scholars all came up with evidence one by one...
