"In addition, the exam questions were drafted by Liu Bowen and Gao Qi, and we didn't participate in or read them, so we can't help you cheat. How far you can get in the exam depends on your personal ability. ”

"Please wait and see." Zhu Yingrao is full of confidence.

……

Liu Bowen Mansion.

Liu Bowen, Gao Qi, Song Lian, the three gathered together.

The three of them are a group, representing the Qingliu civil officials.

If the emperor hadn't reprimanded him just now, Liu Bowen would still want to invite Luo Guanzhong and Shi Nai'an to discuss together.

"Brother Berwyn, Brother Ji Di, congratulations to the two of you for being valued by the emperor and becoming the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner of Southwest Enke." Song Lian first congratulated.

"Rejoice and rejoice." Liu Bowen said.

"The most feared thing in the past scientific expeditions is favoritism." Song Lian said, "The two benevolent brothers are serving as the main examiners for the first time, so we must pay attention to this aspect of things. Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong is staring at it. ”

"If something goes wrong and they rob the place, the students in the southwest will become their protégés. And the reason why the emperor chose the two of you is also out of this consideration. ”

"If something really goes wrong, the emperor will be more than just angry."

"We know that." Liu Bowen said, "There have been a lot of fraud in the imperial examinations in the past dynasties, because the interests are too great, and even some princes will be involved." ”

"But don't worry about that this time around." Gao Qidao, "In the imperial examinations of the past dynasties, the emperor issued the questions several days in advance, sealed them in a gold box, and then the examiner opened them in public at the scene of the Tribute Academy. ”

"During this time, there is an opportunity for fraud."

"And this scientific examination is our question, and it is on-site, and there is no possibility of favoritism."

"The only thing that worries us is one other thing." Liu Bowen frowned and said, "The emperor wants Princess Ningguo to participate in the scientific examination, and he also wants to enter the examination room openly." ”

"I haven't come up with a good way to use what method to use so as not to make the students oppose it."

"The emperor wants to let Princess Ningguo participate in the scientific examination, and he also wants to enter the examination room openly?" Song Lian was also surprised, "This is something that has never been done before." ”

"It's unprecedented." Gao Qi said, "But the emperor has already issued an order, and we must come up with a good way as soon as possible." ”

"Otherwise, the two of us will lose the main examiner and deputy examiner."

"It's really hard to do." Song Lian said, "If you want to break the rules of thousands of years, it's not so simple. ”

"And the scientific examination will be held for three days, and the candidates' food, drink, and Lazar will be in it. Imagine that there are men all around, and only one woman is mixed in, how to solve the daily routine? ”

"Moreover, the reference is still the princess, if we don't do it well, there is still a suspicion of blasphemy against the royal family."

After saying that, the three of them fell silent and began to think about countermeasures.

All three were wise men, not pedantic people who could only read the books of the dead. Liu Bowen organized the township to fight against the rebels and won the battle, which means that he still knows a little bit about fighting.

"There it is." Suddenly, Liu Bowen's eyes lit up, and he had already come up with a countermeasure.

……

In the afternoon of the same day.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, a notice was posted with great fanfare: The emperor attaches great importance to this southwest Enke, and in order to show grace to the students of Guangzhou, he specially sent Princess Ningguo to come and participate in the scientific examination with the students of the southwest.

In addition, the examination room in the Gongyuan has also undergone a small-scale renovation non-stop.

The original three candidate positions were merged into a single room, and the decoration was also very luxurious, and a separate toilet was set up inside.

The news that the public wants to refer to is not far away.

Soon it spread among the students.

"If a woman wants to participate in the scientific examination, won't she pollute the sacred examination room?" A student from the southwest said, "It's okay not to take such an exam." ”

"That's right, we can't take the exam with women, it's just a blasphemy against Kong Sheng." Another student said.

"You dare to look down on Princess Ningguo?" Next to humanity.

"Even if she is a noble princess, she can't break the rules that have been handed down for thousands of years in the examination room of the Tribute Academy." The man just now.

"You're wrong." At this time, a Confucian with a big waist and a round waist stood up from the crowd with a folding fan in his hand and said, "Do you really think that Princess Ning Guo entered the examination room and really came to participate in the scientific examination?" ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"She is a princess, rich and noble, is it necessary to compete with us for a Jinshi fame?"

"The princess is not here to participate in the scientific expedition, so what is she here for?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"Are you all stupid at reading?" The fat Confucian said with a disdainful face, "Didn't the notice say that the emperor let Princess Ningguo enter the examination room in order to show favor to the southwest." ”

"Obviously, Princess Ning Guo came in person to choose a talented and handsome scholar among this group of students."

"You mean that the princess is actually here to choose a colt?" The crowd suddenly understood and became ecstatic.

"But if that's the case, why didn't she choose among the people who made the exam?" Another question was raised.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Fat Confucian said, "There are only more than 1,000 candidates who came this time, and many of them are old men, such as Shi Gong. There are very few young talents who are good-looking and well-educated, and there may not be any. ”

"The princess chooses a colt, and learning is secondary, the key is that she can see it."

"Previously, the emperor implemented the integration of the gentry and the errand and the integration of food in the southwest, which led to the dispersion of the students in the southwest. Therefore, the emperor wanted to show favor to the southwest this time, and asked the princess to choose one of the southwest students, so she came to see people in person. ”

"And in this scientific expedition, there are two bachelors, Luo Guanzhong and Shi Nai'an, as well as their student Li Zi'an, who will definitely win the champion and the list of eyes. It is impossible for Princess Ning Guo to choose Luo Guanzhong and Shi Nai'an, and Li Zi'an already has a cold wife. ”

"The princess can't choose among the top three, so just choose the one who can fall in love at first sight."

"I see!" When the crowd heard this, they suddenly realized, "In other words, the princess chooses a son-in-law this time, and her appearance is the most important." ”

"I haven't married a wife yet, if I can be taken by Princess Ningguo......" After thinking about this, the corners of a student's mouth suddenly drooled.

"I'm Jiangyan Wang Kai, although I haven't read the four books and five classics, I can be regarded as a talent." One of the students took out a bronze mirror.

"I heard that the princess of Ningguo is beautiful and fragrant, and she is a rare beauty in the world. And once you become a colt, you will become a relative of the emperor! Another student said excitedly.

"Not bad."

"Not bad."

The candidates said one after another.

"It's just ......" At this time, another candidate asked, "The examination room of the Gongyuan Academy is a place full of scholars' heroic and righteous spirit. Princess Ningguo and a woman go in to choose a horse, will it destroy the heroic spirit inside? ”
