Volume 3 The Pilgrimage of the Young Man Chapter 25 Confrontation in front of the temple

The celebration in the academy lasted for a long time.

In the face of the excitement of many students, Li Chen only said: "Your hard work these days has not been in vain. ”

Several young people were in high spirits, and the joy of high school had not calmed down at this moment, and they were chatting about the prospect of the Holy Dynasty world, when the voice of Gonggong Zhuo suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." ”

Li Chen walked out of the mansion, and Xiao Qi said the worries in his heart, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is likely to reject the ranking of several of them later, you must not have a conflict with the emperor in the palace later, this matter, the temple is small, the family is big, you should understand." ”

Li Chen nodded, of course he knew the complexity of this matter, and when he learned about Guan Yi's ranking, he already knew that the family would definitely have branches.

It's just that when he let them enter the Hanmen Academy, it was for today, if he mistakenly paid them for so long because of some other reasons, it would be no different from killing these young people from the Hanmen, so of course he must take care of it.

Li Chen quickly entered the imperial city, and the road coincided with the thirteenth prince leaving the palace, and the half-eldest prince is now learning a lot, seeing Li Chen silently from a distance, until he got into the carriage, he gloated and said to the little slave beside him: "Did he think that the disciples of his academy would be able to enter the temple if they won the list?" Don't think too beautifully, I heard that the children of the family have fallen out, and they won't admit this result if they say anything, in my opinion, don't say anything to enter the court, continue to make such a fuss, those who are from the same country as him and don't know the rules, don't want to live! ”

Li Chen, who had just entered the imperial city, suddenly stopped and glanced back at the horse of the Nine Emperor Princes behind him.

The horse that had just moved its hooves neighed in panic, and then ran wildly, jumped out of the long street outside the imperial city, jumped over the stone fence by the moat, and entered the river with the thirteen princes.

There was a burst of exclamation, a burst of panic, and someone shouted, "The noble man has fallen overboard!" ”

"Help!"

Li Chen's heart calmed down a little, and he continued to walk forward, crossed the bridge step by step, went up the stone steps, his face was shaken by the glass on both sides, and he stepped into the main hall, not in a hurry, kneeling in the hall.

There were more than a dozen people in the hall, dressed in gorgeous clothes and inlaid jewels to light up the main hall, and they looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with indifference, indignation, and even disgust.

Li Tang also stared at Li Chen, his heart was a little complicated at this time, even he didn't expect that what Li Chen was asked to do at the beginning would have such a good result in the end.

It's just that now this result is too good, but it has become a bad thing.

"Li Chen, now that all the Qing families, as well as the people, have doubts about the results of this imperial examination, what do you think?"

Li Chen didn't have time to speak, and Cui Guangyun, the household attendant, came out first: "Your Majesty, we are not suspicious, but judging from the results, some people are indeed suspected of cheating, otherwise the top ten on the list, why are the four from Hanshan Academy?" ”

The rest of the ministers in the store also bowed their heads, obviously thinking the same as Cui Guangyun.

Li Chen leaned over to look at the squire, "Master Cui, I remember, you are the chief examiner of this imperial examination, right?" ”

Cui Guangyun nodded and said, "It's indeed me, but there are many candidates, and it is inevitable that I and the examiners will have some omissions." ”

He had already guessed that Li Chen might be trying to make a fuss about why he didn't find cheating during the exam, and blocked the handle in advance.

Li Chen smiled, turned to Li Tang and said, "Father, since all the adults, candidates, or some ordinary people have doubts about the results of this imperial examination, I propose that you might as well take the exam again." ”

Cui Guangyun's expression stiffened slightly, they came here today, in order to let Li Tang overturn the ranking on the list this time, and the most unfortunate thing is to withdraw the top few on the list, and taking the test again is obviously not the result they want, he said: "Take the test again to mobilize the people, and it is difficult to avoid cheating." ”

Li Chen didn't talk to him at all about whether he cheated or not, "This is easy to do, since you adults are worried about cheating, then send some cultivators to accompany the examination for this imperial examination, after all, the imperial examination is also a major event related to the rise and fall of the Holy Dynasty, and sending cultivators is also to make the best use of it." The sons and daughters ask for the order, willing to share the worries for Your Majesty and the Holy Dynasty, if you can't trust my character, you can send a few more people to keep an eye on me. ”

After saying this, the hall was quiet.

Li Chen's words are not leaky, and some people do agree with this result in their hearts, especially the few children of the family present, in their hearts, the knowledge of those poor scholars must be inferior to them, and the current result must be something greasy, these young people of the family are not convinced, if they take the test again, and there are cultivators who guarantee fairness, they will definitely not lose to those poor acids rolling out of the mud again.

Li Tang didn't give the result, and looked at everyone's expressions in turn, "Cui Guangyun, what do you think?" ”

Cui Guangyun looked back at the few people behind him, and seeing that they were silent, he had a plan in his heart, and turned back to Li Tang and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”

Half an hour later.

A holy decree came out of the imperial city to announce to the world: due to the cloudy and humid weather, the examination papers of the imperial examination were stained with ink by many people, and the current majesty is benevolent and righteous, worried that many students will miss the opportunity, so three days later, the imperial examination will be re-examined.

At the same time, those who left the imperial city were also the people in the hall just now.
