Chapter 13: Suspicions
The days passed day by day during the time that Chen Yu served as a martial arts instructor, and the time for the release of the list was getting closer and closer.
Chen Yu's realm also broke through to the middle of the day after tomorrow without any waves.
In his mind, Chen Yu's personal level has also changed from the original ordinary person to the third order of the mortal level.
……
In Kyoto, the examination papers of each of you are in the final stage.
In a courtyard where there are officers and soldiers outside, as well as the supervision of the master of Ouchi, it is completely isolated from the outside world.
Each examiner is in the final marking process and is ready to determine the final ranking of this examination.
In the evening of the same day, the chief examiner Li Chengxin said to the deputy examiners below, a group of fellow examiners, and other marking personnel, "Colleagues, if there is no objection, the final ranking of this examination will be determined." ”
After looking around, he found that no one spoke, and Li Chengxin was about to stamp the final seal on the list.
A somewhat young examiner said to Li Chengxin, "Master Li, when I was reviewing, I found that Zhao Shaohui, the second place on the list, was ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, another fellow examiner standing next to the young examiner pinched his arm vigorously and stopped him from what he was going to say.
Li Chengxin looked at the fellow examiner expressionlessly, "What's wrong with Zhao Shaohui?" ”
After Li Chengxin's words fell, everyone else present was silent.
After the young examiner hesitated for a moment, he finally lowered his head and said, "This Zhao Shaohui...... And there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Li Chengxin nodded, and after looking around again, "Since all my colleagues have no objections, then I will print it." ”
……
After setting the ranking, Li Chengxin took the list and walked next door.
Li Chengxin dragged the list with both hands and handed it to a person who looked extremely white who was using tea.
Li Chengxin said in a steady voice, "Princess, the list has come out, please take a look at it and see if it is suitable." ”
And behind what Li Chengxin couldn't see, there were already some beads of sweat oozing out.
It's really hard not to be nervous about this court official, you must know that this prince is a grandmaster, one of the top existences in the world's martial arts.
Although he doesn't look very old, he is actually more than one hundred and fifty years old and has served the five generations of emperors of Daliang.
It can be said that in the Great Liang court, the most reassuring thing for the current emperor is not their civil and military officials, but this father-in-law who can be said to have watched the current emperor grow up.
Although he has no real power on the face of Daliang, he just serves with the emperor.
But at some point, the significance of this father-in-law's representative is...... The emperor came in person.
Looking at the list handed over by Li Chengxin, Wang Gonggong showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "Our family can't break the rules, it's better not to look at this list." ”
Before Li Chengxin could breathe a sigh of relief, he listened to the prince continue, "And when I look at this list, it means that His Majesty has seen it, so it can't be changed at all." ”
Li Chengxin suddenly sweated like rain.
Wang Gonggong smiled, "Lord Li is nervous, our family is not a fierce god, the last time I did it was three years ago." ”
"And we believe that all the adults are dedicated to Your Majesty and to the Great Liang Jiangshan."
"The selected talents must be young talents who can contribute to the construction of my beam."
"Master Li, did you say that?"
Hearing the somewhat feminine voice of the prince-in-law, Li Chengxin's voice trembled slightly, "Yes, what the father-in-law said is right." ”
Li Chengxin then said in a firm tone, "Therefore, in order to really be able to select talents, we still need to confirm again and again, and there can be no mistakes." ”
The prince just smiled and didn't speak.
After exiting the room, Li Chengxin dared to breathe a sigh of relief, because he broke out in a cold sweat, and was blown by the wind with a hint of coolness in spring, and shivered again.
Li Chengxin walked back to the room where the papers were originally read, coughed at the others and said, "In order to ensure that Your Majesty's name of justice is not lost, I propose that when I list the final ranking, I should be cautious again, so I forget the hard work of my colleagues and review it again." ”
After the others glanced at each other, they said, "Zhou Xiang, my lord." ”
After another review, there is only one difference between the re-ranked ranking and the original, that is, Zhao Shaohui, who was originally ranked second, was assigned to seventh, and the other third to sixth places advanced one place in turn.
After the final list came out, it was obvious that everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Chengxin's mouth, he knew that he would not see that Zhao Gongzi.
That Zhao Shaohui is none other than Teacher Li Chengxin, the grandson of Zhao Yunpei, one of the three princes of the previous generation.
In fact, this incident did not have much impact on his surface.
Because even if the original list is found to have some problems, after pursuing it, it is at most a problem of mistake in grading.
This incident is not a fraud, it can be said that it is just a side ball.
Except for the first place, there is not much difference between the other rankings except for the good sound.
This is also the reason why other examiners are willing to sell Li Chengxin a face.
If it is really cheating, such as replacing the exam paper and classifying those who should have fallen off the list, a considerable number of these examiners will not dare to do so.
Even Li Chengxin won't do it, this is really deadly.
But if you just change the ranking slightly, everyone will turn a blind eye and pass away.
Even so, if the current emperor knows about Li Chengxin's actions, he will also be labeled as not trusted.
I may not be able to see anything now, but in the future, if something goes wrong with Li Chengxin, the punishment of three cups that could have been punished by himself will be really serious, and even become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
……
At night, in the midst of the palace.
The emperor was reviewing the recitals, and behind him was the prince.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."
Putting down the pen, the emperor's eyes were a little sharp and said, "Wang Daban, do you think that my Liang can be eternal?" ”
"Your Majesty, naturally you can, for three hundred years, the famous masters have continued, and Your Majesty, you are even more eloquent."
"But there are always people who don't want me to live in peace."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Lord Li?"
The emperor shook his head, "Li Chengxin's matter is just a trivial matter, although it is also worth paying attention to, it means that those court officials dare to challenge my authority." ”
"But...... The more important sects are becoming more and more dishonest. ”
"Your Majesty, didn't we plan it a long time ago? Step by step, it will soon be bulldozed. ”
