The Beijing test is huge.

The imperial court has done a good job in this regard.

The environment of the candidates has also changed relatively much.

Fang Yuan was in charge of the matter and ensured its safety.

Three days passed, the Beijing examination ended, and the candidates walked out of the examination room with different expressions.

Some people are happy, some people are sad, some people are wooden, and some people are worried.

Liaozhou students are basically assigned to the same examination room, and they leave the examination room at almost the same time after the exam.

Zhang Ji, Ge You and the others looked at each other, with surprise and excitement in their eyes.

"Go find Fang Ling?!"

Ge You was the first to say.

There was excitement in his voice.

Zhang Ji and the others nodded one after another.

They were very excited, because Fang Yuan was right!

I can't guarantee a top three, but at least they feel like they're on the list.

At this time, because it happened to be the last day of the exam, Fang Yuan was guarding in the examination room.

After inquiry, the candidates soon saw Fang Yuan.

When Fang Yuanzheng wondered how Zhang Ji and the others found him, he was quickly stunned.

"Students, thank you for the grace of your teacher's reconstruction."

Zhang Ji, Ge You and other Liaozhou candidates knelt down together and kowtowed to Fang Yuanxing.

In an instant, everyone at the scene was shocked, and they all looked at Zhang Ji and others kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

After a while, everyone looked at Fang Yuan again, with shock and doubt in their eyes.

Such a young Chang'an Ling turned out to be the mentor of so many students?

"Hurry up!"

After Fang Yuan was stunned, he calmly accepted the salute of Zhang Ji and others.

Because the property already knows the exam questions after the exam starts.

"On the Territorial Administration of the Eastern Turks after the Tang Dynasty annexed the territory of the Eastern Turks? After the administrative division, it is determined to be stable? 》

That's the title!

The distribution of power shared by Fang Yuan in Yipinxiang Restaurant is actually not much different.

In other words, Fang Yuan bet on the right question!

For them, this is equivalent to the grace of recreation, no worse than the grace of their parents' fertility.

Therefore, Ge You, Zhang Ji and others all called Fang Yuan their teacher, second only to their parents.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Ji and others got up one after another.

Still looking at Fang Yuan with grateful eyes.

"Go back, this official still has something to do."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

"Teacher, can I wait for you tonight at the Yipinxiang Restaurant?"

Zhang Ji and Ge You and the others glanced at each other, and then said.

If they are not grateful to Fang Yuan, they will not be able to sleep well, because Fang Yuan has really given too much, and they will not be able to pay it back in this life.

"Not sure if there's time."

"Go ahead."

Fang Yuan said casually.

Today is the first day of the imperial examination, and he may be busy until late.

"Thank you, we're waiting for you."

Zhang Ji and Ge You and others were overjoyed.

Thanked Fang Yuan again before leaving.

As they left, the officials who were also in charge of the invigilation approached Fang Yuan.

"Fang Ling, congratulations."

"So many students are grateful, have you bet on the right topic?"

"Fang Ling is really hidden, and there will be disciples everywhere in the future."

Someone congratulated.

Someone is envious.

There are also people who are jealous.

Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, was also in the examination room and watched this scene with his own eyes.

He was curious, curious when Fang Yuan taught these students?

The eldest grandson knew more about the property than anyone present.

"It's just a coincidence bet on the right topic, it's not worth mentioning."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

It was close to the officials on the scene.

There are some people here whose official positions are not as high as Fang Yuan, and some are higher than Fang Yuan.

There were also many erudite celebrities, and they all showed envious expressions after hearing Fang Yuan's words.

Envy, bet on the right questions, those candidates should be on the list.

The only strange thing is that one of them is a little ugly.

With that kind of appearance, how can you take the exam in the Beijing exam?

Slowly, more candidates walked out of the exam room.

As Fang Yuan said, he was really busy until late.

However, after learning that Zhang Ji and the others were still in Yipinxiang Restaurant, Fang Yuan went to the banquet.

Time flies.

Five days passed, and the invigilators finished correcting the papers.

The person in charge of revising the paper this time was Chu Suiliang, one of the twenty-eight bachelors.

"Why does this volume feel so homogeneous?"

Chu Suiliang flipped through the scroll, frowned and said.

However, there are thousands of volumes, and they are all stamped with names, and it is impossible to know who it is.

It's just that according to the feeling, I feel that there are many similar ones in this test paper, like a routine.

"Maybe there are more candidates who bet on the middle question."

"It has been widely known that a group of candidates knelt in the examination room."

An invigilator said sourly.

The invigilators have some reputation and some protégés.

But they haven't encountered a scene like the scene of more than 30 candidates kneeling together that day.

"It feels like there's more to it than just a little paper."

Chu Suiliang's brows furrowed even deeper.

He didn't see it with his own eyes that day.

But afterwards, I heard a lot of people talking about it, and it didn't feel like it was a show, fake.

"Is Master Chu sure?"

"Why don't we check again?"

Yu Shinan walked over and asked politely.

He is the deputy head and one of the twenty-eight bachelors.

Both of them spoke, and the other invigilators looked at Zhu Suiliang.

"Then check again."

Zhu Suiliang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

The emperor attached great importance to the imperial examination, and when he appointed them to be invigilators, he told them that they must attach importance to the imperial examination.

It may be a little hard to check again, but at least it's done your job to keep the problem before it is discovered.

The invigilators sighed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show their opinions, so they took the test paper and rechecked it.

After a long day of hard work, the examiners finally found out what the problem was, and the examiners found eighty-seven very similar answer sheets.

I can't say it's the same, but the meaning is quite similar.

Looking at this test paper, Zhu Suiliang, Yu Shinan and others fell into deep thought.

This can be big or small, after all, so many people are similar, it is very likely that the test questions have been leaked.

"Master Yu, you have to go to the palace in person."

Zhu Suiliang said in a deep voice.

"As it should be."

Yu Shinan nodded solemnly.

The two packed up their exam papers and rushed to the palace.

The other examiners did not have the freedom to restrain themselves and slowly left.

Not long after, a secret news came out that the imperial examination questions were suspected to have been leaked, and there were more than 80 similar answer sheets in the examination papers.

At first, only a few people knew about the news, but it quickly spread and attracted the attention of a group of candidates.

In an instant, the candidates who had been anxiously waiting became agitated and made noise in their places of residence.

"Won't really leak exam questions?"

"Then what's the point of us studying hard for many years?"

"I think it may be that the exam questions were really leaked, do you remember that day more than 30 candidates knelt in the exam room?"

"It's a bet, I think it's someone who knows the exam question and then leaks it to those candidates, Sven scum!"

The candidates were arguing incessantly.

The final spearhead was pointed at Chang'an Ling Fangyuan.

Liaozhou candidates such as Zhang Ji and Ge You were also in the inn.

They were soon blocked by the candidates, questioning Zhang Ji and others about the specific situation.

Night falls.

In Fang's mansion, a eunuch came to pass Fang Yuan into the palace.

Fang Yuan inquired a little and knew what was going on.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan directly followed the eunuch into the palace, and soon went to the imperial study to see Li Shimin.

"Chen Fangyuan, meet Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan saluted and nodded to Zhu Suiliang.

"I heard you got the bet right?"

Li Shimin patted the test paper on the desk and said in a deep voice.

The seal of the test paper has been opened, and the names have been checked, and thirty-two of them are candidates from Liaozhou, that is, most of them are Zhang Ji and Ge You.

Zhu Suiliang and Yu Shinan looked at Fang Yuan with their eyes in their eyes

"Yes."

"The minister and His Majesty chatted about the Eastern Turkic territory in the imperial study that day, so he gave the Liaozhou candidates this question."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, Li Shimin asked himself to enter the palace because of the test questions.

But Fang Yuan didn't panic, he knew about it because he was chatting with Li Shimin.

It's not a leak.

"I see."

Li Shimin's face eased a lot.

Indeed, he and Fang Yuan talked about related matters when they were in the imperial study.

It was also because of the conversation with Fang Yuan that the exam question would be set when the question was finally released.

In fact, when Zhu Suiliang and the two entered the palace, Li Shimin thought of this and did not suspect Fang Yuan.

But things still have to be done, and Zhu Suiliang and the others must also be sure that Fang Yuan did not leak the exam questions.

Sure enough, as Li Shimin thought, after listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Zhu Suiliang's expressions eased a lot.

But

"Your Majesty, there are eighty-seven test papers here, and there are only thirty-six candidates in Liaozhou."

"According to what we just checked, there are only thirty-two Liaozhou candidates."

Zhu Suiliang still has doubts.

Li Shimin didn't speak, but looked at Fang Yuan.

"Maybe someone is betting on the right question?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed, and he said uncertainly.

He only gave Zhang Ji and Ge You and others a question, and no one else.

Or other candidates also have questions, or Zhang Ji and others revealed it to other candidates.

However, Fang Yuan felt that the latter was unlikely, Zhang Ji and the others could have a good time, and they would not be stupid enough to tell others.

"Can you find out where these candidates are from?"

Li Shimin looked at Zhu Suiliang and said.

Similarly, Li Shimin still believes in Fang Yuan.

"Mainly from Bingzhou, and some of them are from Huayin County."

"Most of them are the Cui family and the Yang family, but these two have also been quite successful in previous years, and the bet is very accurate."

Zhu Suiliang explained.

The candidates on the test paper are marked with where they came from.

"So you didn't leak the exam questions?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Suiliang and Yu Shinan and said.

His meaning is obvious, that is, he does not intend to pursue it, after all, it is unlikely that the exam questions will be leaked.

"Yes."

Zhu Suiliang and Yu Shinan looked at each other and smiled, and said according to Li Shimin's meaning.

They were just suspicious, and after Fang Yuan's description and Li Shimin's non-refutation, they no longer had an opinion.

"Then let's leave this matter at that, let's get ready to release the list."

Li Shimin said with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the imperial examination.

Not only did it hit the reputation of the imperial court for attaching importance to the imperial examination.

I also gained a group of new candidates, many of whom came from poor families and had no background.

After they enter the officialdom, it is time to fight against the great family.

"Yes."

Zhu Suiliang and the two of them should be respectful.

Just as the two were about to say goodbye, the eunuch Wang De hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty, it's no good, the candidates made a fuss in the inn, saying that someone leaked the exam questions."

Wang De said in a little panic.

He knew the reason why Fang Yuan was called into the palace tonight.

And there was trouble outside, which is definitely not a good thing for Fang Yuan, and it is definitely not a good thing for the imperial court.

"What?"

"Zhu Suiliang, you didn't give a gag order?!"

Li Shimin was suddenly shocked, and looked at Zhu Suiliang and the two with frowns.

Originally, I wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing, but now that so many candidates have misunderstood and want to solve it plainly, it may not be so simple.

"I, I didn't leak out."

Zhu Suiliang's faces changed, and he hurriedly explained.

But the two also knew that it should be other invigilators who leaked out.

Confused, the two of them have just entered the palace to confirm, but they have already revealed it to the public.

And what's even more confusing is that the invigilators didn't pay attention to the situation and don't say it.

"Go and call the eldest grandson Wuji and all the invigilators!"

Li Shimin ordered in a cold voice.

He understood what Zhu Suiliang meant.

There should be other invigilators who leaked the news.

What stupid, how did you become an invigilator?

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wang De bowed and said.

He left quickly, passing on the elder Sun Wuji and the others.

Sun Wuji, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, is not an invigilator, but he is responsible for screening invigilators.

In other words, except for Zhu Suiliang and Yu Shinan, the other examiners were all selected by the eldest grandson Wuji.

Not long after, including the eldest grandson Wuji, more than 30 invigilators arrived.

"Who revealed the leaked exam questions?"

Li Shimin's sharp eyes looked at all the invigilators.

In an instant, the invigilators had different expressions, each with their own guesses, and even some of the invigilators looked at Fang Yuan.

There has been a spread outside, Fang Yuan leaked the exam questions to the candidates in Liaozhou, making most of the candidates in Liaozhou very good.

They still don't know what Li Shimin is looking for them for, thinking that the exam questions are really leaked, and they must be held accountable for leaking the exam questions.

"Are you all deaf?"

Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

The invigilators who rushed to the exam suddenly trembled, and were frightened by Li Shimin's appearance.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was the secretary of the ministry, quickly felt that something was wrong, and felt that Li Shimin was not responsible for revealing the exam questions by calling them over.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the minister went home, he accidentally told the concubine, and she told the brother-in-law again, and then it was passed out."

"The minister has severely punished the pair of sisters and brothers who don't know the severity, please atone for your sins."

In full view of everyone, a middle-aged man walked out.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at it, his brows furrowed, but he didn't expect it to be him.

Gao Shenxing, the son of Gao Shilian, is the cousin of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Confused!"

"Now that the candidates in Chang'an City know that someone leaked the exam questions, you just punish them?"

Li Shimin said angrily.

The crowd was taken aback again, feeling that something was wrong.

"Isn't it okay to deal with the officials who leaked the exam questions?"

Gao Shenxing swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice.

He also glanced at Fang Yuan, meaning that Fang Yuan was the examiner who leaked the exam questions.

"Then there must be a real official leak!"

"Have you thought about the consequences of casually revealing this kind of news?"

Li Shimin was so angry that his face darkened.

How could he say such a thing?

If it weren't for the face of Gao Shilian and Changsun Wuji, as well as Empress Changsun and others, he would have moved.

"This"

"Not Fang Ling?!"

Gao Shenxing looked at Fang Yuan and asked uncertainly.

The candidates all said that it was Fang Yuan, is it fake?
