Chapter 285: Candidate One Hundred and Twenty-Seven
In the next few days, Gu Hanzhang, as the examiner of Chunfu, ate and lived in the Tribute Courtyard, and was not allowed to return home even if he rested halfway.
In addition to examiners like Gu Hanzhang, almost all the people in the Ministry of Rites are here, and they don't even need to participate in the early dynasty.
This is not only a requirement, but the people of the imperial history are also staring, after all, they all understand the importance of scientific research.
Chaoli is not worried about Gu Hanzhang, and believes that he can take good care of himself.
There are three consecutive examinations, each of which lasts for three days, so there is also a saying that the examination takes nine days and six nights, and candidates are also not allowed to leave the Gongyuan during this period.
At this moment, the second exam has been completed, and the candidates' exam papers have also been bound into the book, waiting for Gu Hanzhang and several of their examiners to review them.
Before this, they had never encountered the candidates' exam papers at all, also to avoid suspicion.
"Does the prince have any promising candidates?" An official from the Ministry of Rites asked with a smile.
As we all know, as long as it is not a palace exam, they can meddle in some candidates' papers, which is also something that everyone knows.
However, in general, examiners who will take the exam will not do this.
The reason is very simple, the candidates who pass the examination will enter the palace for the palace examination, which is personally invigilated by the emperor.
If a person who passes the examination can't write anything when he gets to the palace examination, and he doesn't have any real talent and learning, then as an invigilator, what will he use to convince the public?
For this person's words, Gu Hanzhang's face was expressionless.
"I don't know any candidates in private, so naturally I don't have any guesses." Gu Hanzhang's voice was cold.
As long as the examiner who was invigilating with him in the past few days found an opportunity to call him to talk to him, what his purpose was, Gu Hanzhang could understand it at a glance.
Perhaps among the examiners, Gu Hanzhang is the youngest, but he is definitely the wisest one, and it may not be so easy for those people to beat him.
"Also, mentioning these things before the paper is marked seems to be unfair to the candidates."
Another official from the Ministry of Rites also said, "That's true, but I'm still more optimistic about the previous Xie Yuan, but I haven't asked who his protégé is." However, there are more than 100 Xie Yuan here, and the Xie Yuan of the entire Daqi Township Test is here, and I can't recognize it. ”
Gu Hanzhang stopped talking, and no one could see what he was thinking.
The Ministry of Rites and the invigilators appointed by the emperor all wanted to get into a relationship with Gu Hanzhang, but unfortunately this prince didn't enter, so they had to give up.
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside.
Now that the second test has been completed, at least half of the officers and men on patrol have been withdrawn, and it stands to reason that it will not be lively.
But now it's a place where they are resting, and the sound can come in, which means that there is a lot of trouble.
"Check it out." Gu Hanzhang stood up first.
The others followed, intending to see what was going on.
I don't know who is so bold to make trouble in the Gongyuan, if the situation is serious, the qualification for the exam will be cancelled at that time.
Some people have studied hard for ten years, and if the opportunity to take the exam is canceled because of this incident, it will really outweigh the loss.
Gu Hanzhang approached and frowned slightly.
It was very noisy at the door of room one hundred and twenty-seven, and when he saw this room, Gu Hanzhang couldn't help but be speechless.
Coincidentally, it was the one he prayed to otherwise.
"The proctor is here!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the surrounding candidates spontaneously gave way to pass, in order to pass the examiners led by Gu Hanzhang.
"What's going on so loudly?" The official of the Ministry of Rites asked loudly.
The candidates did not dare to say much, for fear that they would offend people by what they said and cause some trouble at that time.
It's just that there was an accident at the gate of No. 127, and everyone was surrounding this place, so it must have something to do with this candidate.
"Candidate one hundred and twenty-seven, what's going on, you say." Another examiner spoke.
The person who was called was Lu Xiuyuan, and he was the candidate in Room 127.
Lu Xiuyuan raised his head, the clothes on his body were a little scattered, and a few strands of hair were hammered down, and when he was asked, his gaze quickly skimmed over Gu Hanzhang, and then fell on the examiner who asked him.
"The students have angered these two sons somehow, and they have come to find fault inexplicably." Lu Xiuyuan said with a stiff neck.
In fact, the candidates are very clear about the facts, after all, some people have heard the movement.
It's just that obviously many people know the two candidates who are causing trouble, so they don't dare to talk nonsense, and Lu Xiuyuan didn't think that someone would be able to administer justice for him, so he simply didn't tell the truth.
And the two people who confronted Lu Xiuyuan, Gu Hanzhang, knew each other, and they were related to Shen Fang and Wen Shen.
One is Shen Fang's concubine Shen Xiao, and the other is Wen Shen's nephew Wen Chengzhi, but for some reason he had a conflict with Lu Xiuyuan.
If Lu Xiuyuan faced these two people alone, he wouldn't even think about taking the third exam tomorrow, and he might still be in danger if he left the Tribute Academy.
"Come." Gu Hanzhang's gaze was on the other two people.
Shen Xiao and Wen Chengzhi glanced at each other, and finally Shen Xiao opened his mouth.
"Shizi, I accidentally bumped into this brother who came out with Brother Wen, but I didn't expect him to do it to us and push us. We didn't mean to, thinking that apologizing to him was, who would have expected him to be like this, and the waist and abdomen of the bra also hit the stone pier outside because of his pushing, and we don't know if it will affect tomorrow's exam. Shen Xiao looked at Lu Xiuyuan coldly and spoke.
He didn't believe it, as Shen Lianyi's brother, Gu Hanzhang would not give him face, even if he was a concubine, but with Gu Hanzhang's feelings for Shen Lianyi, Gu Hanzhang would be on his side.
In Shen Xiao's eyes, everything is as Shen Lianyi said, Gu Hanzhang has different feelings for her.
There are a lot of young masters in the entire capital, but there are not many people from the family, so he is not worried that Gu Hanzhang will not recognize him.
"Oh? Is candidate number 127 coming to you for trouble? Gu Hanzhang asked.
Hearing Gu Hanzhang's words, Lu Xiuyuan's heart gradually sank.
It's a pity that Lu Xiuyuan obviously misunderstood, Gu Hanzhang asked this, not because he believed the other party, or considered them from the other party's position, but just to learn the truth from the side.
"Exactly, everything is caused by candidate No. 127, and it is he who deliberately hurts people." Wen Chengzhi also spoke on the side.
The other candidates around more or less heard the movement and knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say it, for fear of being hated.
At first glance, Lu Xiuyuan's clothes were not as good as Shen Xiao and Wen Chengzhi, and of course they were not willing to take risks.
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Xiuyuan with some pity in their eyes.
