Chapter 271: The Imperial Examination Ends
Zhou Qingyang's movements were very fast.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he took the exam paper into his arms.
And the other palm came up with the answer that had been prepared for a long time.
It worked!
After doing all this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Qingyang's mouth.
"This time, the champion must be mine."
Zhou Qingyang pursed the corners of his mouth, and he became more and more confident in his heart.
It's as if the champion is already at hand.
Finished!
But his movements have always been watched by Guo Yuanji, which made his body tremble slightly.
The whole person's face is getting paler and paler.
"Master Guo, what are you looking at?"
Sunan also noticed Guo Yuanji's situation, and immediately asked the latter.
This frightened Guo Yuanji and shuddered.
Quickly shift your gaze.
"Didn't see anything."
Panicked words appeared in Guo Yuanji's mouth, for fear that Sunan would notice Zhou Qingyang's small movements.
But there was a lot of anxiety in my heart.
After all, what Zhou Qingyang is doing now may put him in a desperate situation.
What to do?
What should I do now?
Guo Yuanji kept swallowing his saliva, and he began to think about how to solve the situation in front of him.
It's a pity that there is nothing to do.
As for Zhou Qingyang, he sat in place expectantly.
even looked forward to the future of being able to hold power.
"Dudu, the incense is almost finished."
At this moment, Gao Quan reminded Sunan.
Only then did I realize that most of the incense used to keep the time had been burned.
"Get ready."
"When the incense is finished, you go down to collect the exam papers."
Sunan gave an order to Gao Quan with a calm expression, making Gao Quan nod heavily.
But Guo Yuanji's heartbeat kept accelerating.
It wasn't until the incense was completely burned that Guo Yuanji thought of a way.
"Sududu."
"There are a lot of test papers, so let's go and help."
Just when Gao Quan stood up straight and was about to collect the test papers, Guo Yuanji also hurriedly spoke.
wanted to use this opportunity to ruin the test papers of Zhou Qingyang and others.
In this way, although Zhou Qingyang and others will not have achievements, it will not expose his favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination.
"Forget it."
"Lord Guo is unwell, so let's leave it to Gao Quan."
But Sunan directly rejected Guo Yuanji's request, which made Guo Yuanji directly stunned in place.
But in my heart, I became more and more desperate.
In the end, I could only watch Gao Quan collect the test papers.
Because this was the first imperial examination, Dawei attached great importance to it.
even directly arranged for the three great Confucians to start reading the papers above the court, preparing to select the champion of Jinke among these articles.
Fortunately, the imperial examination has been screened layer by layer, so there are only a few hundred people who participate in the imperial examination above the main hall.
But even so, the three great Confucians were very tired.
And outside the main hall.
Everyone stood together and talked about their own articles this time.
"Hmph, a bunch of guys who can't get on the stage."
The sound of discussion in his ears made the corners of Zhou Qingyang's mouth show a look of contempt.
At the same time, his eyes were staring directly at the location of the Jinluan Palace.
Imagine the scene where the emperor proclaims himself.
Compared with the expectations of Zhou Qingyang and other cheaters, Guo Yuanji in the hall was tormented.
Because he found that these three great Confucians did not look like they were reading the papers at all.
Instead, he casually looked at the content on the test paper, and even put the test paper aside after a few glances.
What's going on?
The situation in front of him made Guo Yuanji's back more and more cold sweat, and he directly soaked his court clothes.
After all, this is the first imperial examination.
Therefore, the imperial court should attach great importance to it, so it must be carefully examined.
This ensures that the selected content is the best article.
But the three great Confucians in front of him were like watching flowers, which completely exceeded Guo Yuanji's expectations.
Has it been discovered?
In an instant, a bad thought appeared in Guo Yuanji's heart.
The moment this thought appeared, the power on Guo Yuanji's body seemed to be drained.
Especially when I saw the three Confucians pick out a few test papers and put them aside, their expressions became more and more panicked.
"Returning to Your Majesty."
"We've got the picks done."
The three Confucians glanced at each other, and their faces became more and more gloomy.
After all, when they heard about the leak of the test papers, they thought it was nonsense.
But now after they checked it, they really found that the content on these test papers was the previous exam questions.
This caused the anger in their hearts to rise.
Because in their eyes, the imperial examination is to give students from all over the world an equal opportunity.
But now there are people who are doing tricks in the imperial examination, which is completely provoking fairness for them.
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other.
At the same time, make a decision in your heart, that is, to severely punish those who engage in favoritism.
"Now that the three of them have already had results."
"Then let those people be proclaimed into the main hall."
Wei Zifu nodded solemnly, and then greeted Gao Quan.
Hearing this, Gao Quan did not hesitate at all.
Picking up the test papers that had been placed aside, he strode out of the main hall.
"Here we are."
At the moment of seeing Gao Quan, the eyes of all the candidates were attracted to the past.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes became eager.
"Next, the person whose name is read by the official can enter the temple."
Gao Quan looked around, and finally shouted this sentence with a calm face.
Hearing this, the candidates were afraid that they would miss something, so they pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the voice of Gao Quan.
"Zhou Qingyang."
Gao Quan took the lead in calling out Zhou Qingyang's name, which made Zhou Qingyang's face show ecstasy.
Even because he was too excited, he shouted directly.
"I made it."
"Hahaha, I made it."
Excited words appeared in Zhou Qingyang's mouth, and he quickly ran towards the position designated by Gao Quan.
But he didn't find the sympathetic look in his eyes.
Instead, he looked at the depressed students around him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger.
And Gao Quan continued to shout the names of the students.
In a short time, seven or eight people came out of the crowd.
"Get ready."
"Follow the official into the temple and face the saint."
Gao Quan greeted everyone, making Zhou Qingyang and the others nod solemnly.
The rest of the people looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.
I don't understand what they're going to do next.
"You don't have to be idle."
"You can stay outside the main hall and watch the play."
Gao Quan naturally noticed the expressions of these people, and then said these words meaningfully.
But Zhou Qingyang was stunned.
Watching a play?
What kind of play to watch?
This thought involuntarily appeared in everyone's hearts, and their faces were full of confusion.
