"Your Majesty, it turns out that he is Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has an extraordinary temperament, and he is worthy of being the true son of the dragon."

"Meet Your Majesty." The candidates saluted respectfully.

The specifications of the salute are not uniform, there are kneeling salutes, there are Confucian rituals of scholars, and there are also those who prostrate directly, and people can't help but laugh when they see it.

Li Xingchen nodded and looked at them with lowered eyes.

"Excuse me."

The sound is magnificent, reaching the ears of every examiner.

"You are all the people of the Great Wei, and you are all the talents of the Great Wei, and you study hard, just to become famous in one day.

I hope you will work hard and be responsible for your reading career.

At this moment, you are all the same, it is a test. However, in the next moment, there will be people who are in high school, and there will be people who are famous.

The high school students will be as dazzling as the sun, and they will pay homage to the prime minister. Don't be discouraged if you fail, the court will make proper arrangements according to your actual ability.

In any case, the future of the Great Wei needs to be built by you, even the illiterate, only when every citizen dedicates together, the Great Wei will be more prosperous and prosperous, and the people will live a more wonderful life. ”

Li Xingchen knows that among the 10,000 examinees in front of him, a group of useful talents can be selected to balance the family.

Therefore, if the strength is slightly inferior, he does not plan to let him return to his hometown, but if his grades are passable, he can be sent to a remote township and county as an official, and wait for the future to improve his culture and participate in the imperial examination again.

Or if he made certain achievements when he was an official in a remote place, he could also find ways to transfer people back to the capital.

It is even possible to transfer some ordinary talents to enter various schools and become assistant teachers.

Every reader, Li Xingchen feels that he should make use of it as much as possible.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"

I don't know who among the candidates shouted such a sentence.

Immediately afterward, more and more people followed and chanted "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

The three provinces and six departments standing behind Li Xingchen were extremely shocked.

What does it mean that the Great Wei needs the construction of every citizen? Could it be that the Great Wei Dynasty will develop like this, relying on their imperial court? What does it have to do with these people who need the protection of the imperial court?

These words are beyond their common sense.

Throughout the dynasties, no emperor has said these words.

After that, Li Xingchen gave a few passionate speeches again, and then instructed the candidates to familiarize themselves with their examination room and meet the next day's exam.

In the early morning of the next day, the time arrived on time and the exam was carried out in an orderly manner.

There was no mess during the period, and the examinees were very obedient to the arrangement.

But after the exam, the examiners had different expressions, some were depressed, some were calm and calm, and some were excited.

The tension is relieved, and you can relax and unwind.

Since Li Xingchen took the throne, the curfew in the capital has been lifted, and at night, the main street is lit up with lights, and it is very lively, and a night market is set up for all night travelers to taste the food, but there is also an additional decree.

Those who want to make trouble at night, once they find out, they will be assigned to the frontier, and they will never be allowed to set foot in any city, so they have to work hard and rest.

This law has made many lawbreakers tremble and wash their hands.

A few days have passed, and the imperial court is also quickly correcting the test papers.

Due to the fact that there were too many candidates, the whole seven days had not been completed, so the hearts of many candidates were hanging again.

Waiting is often the hardest, either Jackie Chan or Worm. Either go to high school or continue to study hard.

It's about their future, how can they not be in a hurry?

Finally, the tenth day.

A piece of news came out of nowhere, like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made countless candidates extremely angry.

Some people who couldn't swallow their breath went to the main gate of the palace on the spot to kneel down and shout grievances.

The prime minister hurriedly entered the imperial study to report.

"Your Majesty, there is an examiner at the main gate who shouts grievances, saying that this scientific examination is unfair, and it is a show by the imperial court."

"What?" Li Xingchen's eyes lit up.

"Someone cheats." The prime minister said in a deep voice.

Li Xingchen squinted, cheating, and this kind of thing?

He only founded the imperial examination, and some people cheated and acted recklessly.

"How many people gathered at the main entrance?" Li Xingchen asked.

"There are about 100 people, and it is estimated that many candidates are also coming."

"Who is the examiner this time?" Li Xingchen's voice became more and more indifferent.

Cheating is a serious and unfair phenomenon.

If the number of people shouting grievances is small, it may be a misunderstanding, but so many examinees come, and cheating is generally true.

"Your Majesty, this main examination is in charge of Zhao Liang, the only son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department."

"Call this person in, investigate the matter thoroughly, appease the candidates in the world, and give them a fair explanation." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Not long after the prime minister withdrew, Zhao Liang came.

In fact, he learned about it in advance and came by himself.

"Your Majesty, the guilty deserves death." Zhao Liang knelt down.

Li Xingchen looked at him coldly, "The Criminal Department is the most fair and just department, as the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the official residence waiter, I want to know how you want to explain this?" ”

Zhao Liang lowered his head very low, trembling and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows nothing about this, please forgive your Majesty."

The minister will definitely find out the incident, and it may not be necessary to have malicious slander from which examiners. ”

"Presumptuous." Li Xingchen was furious and re-slapped the table.

"If there were only a few people coming, I might think it was slander. But they are all scholars, sensible people, and just a few people can cause an uproar?

Are you a fool when they are, or am I a fool? ”

Zhao Liang trembled, and his head hung lower.

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely find out about this matter as soon as possible and give you an explanation.

The minister also just knew that they were gathered at the main gate of the palace, and took the initiative to come to His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Liang's tone was very aggrieved, and Li Xingchen did not speak.

The situation is moving too fast, and the details are not yet clear.

Maybe Zhao Liang leaked the exam questions, but of course it may not be him.

However, there are not many people who know the test papers in advance, and Zhao Liang is one, and he must be the object of suspicion.

At this moment, the six Shangshu came together.

"Your Majesty."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department twisted his eyebrows, clasped his fists and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the candidates are all known, and I hope that Your Majesty will calm down your anger, and the Criminal Department will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the candidates a fair and just explanation." ”

The cheating in the first imperial examination put a lot of pressure on the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

If the cheating is not thoroughly investigated, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world, thinking that the imperial examination is a matter of face, and Li Xingchen will definitely be furious and attack these ministers.

Therefore, one by one, they were trembling, and their positions were clear on the surface, and they pretended to be filled with righteous indignation to find out about this matter.

Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "How many people know the test papers?" ”

"Five in all." The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said, "Prime Minister, Dogzi, Lao Chen, Marquis Dingyuan, and Jing Zhaoyin." ”

Li Xingchen moved his gaze to Zhao Liang's side.

Zhao Liang, as the chief examiner, is the last person to contact the test questions, and he is also the most likely to leak it.
