Chapter 117: Fraud

Baohe Palace, the most desirable examination room in the world, is the last staircase through the sky.

The emperor's complexion was noticeably better today, and he didn't look so old. After some fixed procedures for worship, the emperor announced the first question of this year's palace exam: the world of great contention!

That's right, it's the topic that Empress Miao's brother Miao Shijin proposed a few days ago.

All the students sat up straight in the hall, and they all did it without adding anything. The emperor looked at the splendid chapters and nodded frequently in praise.

Seeing the highlights, I couldn't help but hand them over to the ministers to see, and sure enough, they were all good articles that mourned pears and cut Binglanglang.

The courtiers were full of praise, either the words were exquisite, or heroic, magnificent, or delicate and silky......

"My Tanglin is really full of talents, congratulations to my emperor for getting many pillars of talent."

"Yes, yes, the future is terrible, the future is terrible, the old man should be virtuous." Prime Minister Liu Cheng held an exam paper and couldn't help blurting it out.

The soldier quietly kicked him, the old thing didn't pay attention to what he said in the court, you really want to make Xian, right?

Prime Minister Liu Cheng disagreed, and came to the emperor with the test paper: "Long live Chen Qi, it is rare to find a young talent who can write such a splendid chapter, this son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters the wind and clouds." ”

The emperor glanced at the test paper, and then glanced at Prime Minister Liu lightly. What is this old fox holding back? What did he see?

Normally, he would never praise an unknown descendant so much, and this descendant has nothing to do with him.

"Aiqing's meaning, this son can be of great use?"

"It must be a virtuous minister who rules the world, a generation of good ministers."

"Aiqing admires a junior so much, isn't he afraid of causing criticism?"

"Your Majesty, you don't avoid enemies when you move outside, and you don't avoid relatives when you move inside. What's more, the old man doesn't know each other in this life, so what are his concerns? It is the old man's job to recommend good talents for the country, and the old man has eight out of fifty, and he is still dominating the phase when he sees that he is in the year of the sixtieth year, and he will not make way for future generations? ”

"Good! Okay, so many talented people are really the blessing of Tanglin, Prime Minister Liu Cheng really deserves to be the prime minister's mind, and he really has a big boat. The emperor happily grabbed the test paper and shouted the candidate's name: "Lu Feiming!" ”

"The students are here." A man in his forties stepped out from behind the second row of desks.

Lu Feiming had never learned court etiquette, but he only knew that when he saw that the emperor had to kowtow, he knelt down and kowtowed with his forehead to the ground, which showed how excited he was.

The emperor and the prime minister's words are all heard clearly by the people in this hall, it seems that this Lu Feiming is not a prime minister, but also has to make a Beijing official, at least the champion and the first are not running, even if they are not the champion, they are destined to be rich and rich for a lifetime.

All the courtiers suppressed their jealousy and looked at him curiously. Those Gongsheng naturally have many hot-eyed people, some who are very nervous, and some who are bland.

"The article is really good, how many times have you participated in scientific expeditions?"

"Just this once." Lu Feiming not only has no etiquette, but also speaks with a vulgar atmosphere, and when he talks to the emperor, he actually looks up and looks directly, not counting that he actually stretched out his right index finger and even said with a gesture.

The emperor frowned slightly, where is this genius?

"Why didn't you come to ask for an official earlier?"

"......" Lu Feiming's eyes were blank, he didn't understand what the emperor was talking about, what did it mean to 'find shoes to ask for officials?'.

"I ask you why you didn't take the imperial examination a few years ago?"

"......" Lu Feiming continued to sell cuteness, but still didn't understand what the emperor said.

The emperor's patience was the most limited, and when he saw that he was stupid, he became a little angry: "Answer me! ”

"Yes, I am." Lu Feiming was honest, the emperor said, 'Answer me', he thought he was asking him to say 'I'.

"Huh?" The emperor's eyes widened in an instant, and the first time he heard the word 'I' come out of someone's mouth, the guards in the hall drew their waist knives with a 'bang'.

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards pressed the knife back with a 'swish'.

Lu Feiming looked left and right a little frightened, his face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

"Since you are rich and rich, why don't you take the imperial examination?" Prime Minister Liu Cheng bent over, pouted his buttocks, stroked his goatee and patiently asked him again.

"What is the imperial examination?"

'Boom! Everyone's worldview was blown to pieces by Lu Feiming's words.

has come to the step of the palace examination, and he even said that he doesn't know what the imperial examination is, is this because he is crazy or everyone else is crazy?

"Bold Lu Feiming!" The emperor shouted violently, so frightened that Lu Feiming's soul was scattered, and he kowtowed with tears and begged for mercy again and again.

"The emperor spares his life, and the emperor spares his life."

I didn't even know what mistakes I made, so I begged for mercy first, the title of the emperor is chic enough, which genius can come up with such a talented title?

"Did you make this article?" The emperor returned to the dragon chair and slapped the dragon book case hard, and all the courtiers and tributes knelt down.

"Yes, yes, I memorized it and wrote it."

Of course, it was written now, and it is obvious to all that he wrote it.

"What do you do?"

"Writing."

"I ask you what you do for a living."

"It's a writer, I went to a private school, I can write, so I write letters to others or something."

A generation of talented people turned out to be a private school and could write.

"What's your real name?"

"Yi Liangping."

"How did you replace Lu Feiming to take the palace exam?"

Lu Feiming begged people everywhere to help him write articles, the topic was the world of great controversy, saying that he would give more money if he wanted to write well, and a scholar happened to see that my handwriting was good, and asked me to help him write a fan. The scholar said that he could make an article but the writing was not good, and then he said that I would write, and I would write a fan for him for nothing, and asked for this article. Show it to Lu Feiming, he likes it very much, I want him to hang half a copper coin, he gives me a silver ingot, let me come here to write for him......"

"Cough~cough~" The emperor coughed angrily when he heard this, if it weren't for the two eunuchs who brushed their chests and patted their backs left and right, they almost fell on the main hall.

"It's angry, it's angry." The emperor tossed a blushing face and a thick neck, and the ministers knelt on the mountain and shouted: "Long live the anger." ”

No wonder the article is like a splendid article, and the tributes who came today are either substituted by others, or they have memorized them themselves after knowing the exam questions and asking someone to answer them on their behalf.

How big of a problem is a leak of exam questions?

If it is not a big deal, it is to cut off a few heads, raid a few homes, exile dozens of officials, disqualify hundreds of students from participating in the imperial examination, and that's it.

"I set up the imperial examination and seek the world's talents to be appointed. To recruit these uneducated and unskilled people to abuse and cheat like this under my nose, when I am blind or when I am dead? ”
