After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister - Chapter 248
This night, many candidates collapsed, cried hysterically, and three years of hard work were all in vain.
It is worthy of sympathy, but this is the rule. If the test paper is dirty, you can only bear all the consequences.
As for those who made a lot of noise, they were dragged out in the name of disturbing the examination room.
Those who stayed in the examination room were secretly grateful.
It’s just that they were happy too early, the scholar was weak, fell ill after a little rain, contracted the cold, and became dizzy.
Some are self-supporting, and some have fallen.
The examiners are very calm, this kind of thing is commonplace, it can only be said that these candidates are not very lucky.
Eating, drinking, and leasing in a small cubicle during the exam is a huge challenge for candidates.
Fortunately, mu Zicheng and his companions adapted well.
Mu Wanqing had arranged for the mock exam room to throw them in, exactly like the formal exam. They stayed there for nine days and simulated various scenarios.
Although a layer of skin peels off every time, the effect is remarkable.
Mu Wanqing also stipulated that all students should exercise physically, doing exercises and jogging are daily routines.
So, they deal with all kinds of unexpected situations and take the exam with a steady mind.
The people waiting outside gasped and raised their hearts. Could it be their own candidates?
law.
Therefore, even if you are ill, it is impossible to send it out of the examination room, and you can only carry it yourself, so there are many candidates who are folded in the examination room.
The candidates on the stretcher were dying and fell into a coma, and the officials sent them to a hospital not far away.
The pale-faced candidates stumbled out, unable to stand still, as if they had taken off a few layers of skin, and the family and servants who were waiting outside rushed up to help them.
Mu Zicheng was not in a hurry to go out. After handing in the test paper, he packed up and waited for his companions to go together.
When they walked out of the exam room, everyone spit out a sigh of relief and felt their body stinks.
The servants of the Mu family ran over, full of worry, “Eldest young master, I will help you.”
Mu Zicheng and his party have the best mental attitude and can walk freely.
“The test basket prepared by the patriarch is too complete, everything, we can come out completely, all thanks to the patriarch.”
“The county magistrate is so thoughtful, I couldn’t have thought of such details. I am fortunate to have her this time.” Xiliang candidates are especially grateful, and this time they have received too much favor from the Qingping county magistrate.
Not only did they prepare the four treasures of the study, oilcloth, various pills, and food that was durable, like instant noodles and self-heating rice, it was especially trouble-free, but also prepared beef jerky candy hunger-resistant snacks to ensure that their bodies were healthy need.
So, when other people are often overwhelmed, they are experienced, eat well, and pass the exam very smoothly.
Happiness is contrasted.
When she got home, Mu Wanqing had arranged for a doctor to check the pulse for them, confirming that they were healthy, but tired, poured a bowl of thick **** tea and steamed food put them to sleep.
Mu Wanqing asked a few questions about her physical condition after going to the office, so I won’t mention it.
Mu Zicheng didn’t ask her anything when she woke up from sleep, but took the initiative to ask her, “sister, why don’t you ask how we did in the exam?”
Mu Wanqing was very indifferent, “The exams are all over, what’s there to ask? The result is already doomed.”
It makes too much sense to refute it.
After a lot of work, the examiners sent the admission list to the Minister of Rites, who had to submit it to the cabinet, and then the cabinet to the imperial front.
The first assistant took over and glanced at it, and his eyes fell on a name.
Xiliang, Mu Zicheng.
His eyes sank slightly, he pondered for a while, picked up the brush, crossed out the name, and re-wrote the list.
The Minister of Rites’ eyes flashed, “Master Shoufu, this is inappropriate.”
They belong to the same camp, and they don’t like Mu Wanqing, but, well, this matter can’t be investigated.
Shoufu tapped the table top, and stood up after some time, “Go, go see the emperor.”
He took the lead to walk out, the Minister of Rites flickered in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and followed with gritted teeth.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation, the head and assistant bowed and presented the list with both hands. “Your Majesty, this is the newly released Jinshi list, please take a look.”
“Yes.” The first assistant lowered his eyebrows and looked very respectful.
The emperor gave him a deep look, his eyes inexplicable, “Come on, go to the exam house and ask for the papers of these people.”
“Yes.” The Chief Chamberlain responded.
The emperor seemed to just remember, “find out mu Zicheng’s test paper and present it in its entirety.”
The Minister of Rites changed his mind when he heard this, and looked at the first assistant subconsciously.
What happened? How could the emperor pay so much attention to mu Zicheng? Because of the Qingping County Lord?
The air was a little stagnant. After some time, the waiter came back with a stack of test papers.
Mu Zicheng’s test paper is at the top. The emperor picked it up and took a look. The surface of the paper was dirty and there were a few dots of ink the size of beans, and he couldn’t help frowning.
The Minister of Rites breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, it is impossible for the scheming first assistant to have no backers.
Shoufu glanced at it indifferently, “Mu Zicheng’s words are good, but he doesn’t know how the strategy is written, and he is too careless, why did he make such a low-level mistake? It won’t work if you have rolled noodles, but he is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.”
He made people go down, and he talked cold words, and the tea was tea-like.
There was a flash of anger in the emperor’s eyes, this old thing is getting more and more excessive.
“Send my will to thoroughly investigate the examination house, and no matter who is found, I will be punished severely. I want to see who dares to make trouble in the most important affairs of the country.”
Everyone was shocked when these words came out.
The Minister of Rites was even more anxious and secretly hated, this time he was killed by Shoufu.
He and Shoufu formed a party just to get what they wanted. Shoufu needed more subordinates, and he wanted to join the cabinet logically and take over the position of Shoufu.
As far as civil servants are concerned, who doesn’t have the dream of being a top official?
The emperor’s uncharacteristic behavior made Shoufu’s heart tense, but things have already been done, and it can only be irreversible.
He was stunned for a moment, puzzled, “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”
He seems to really know nothing, not to mention how confused, his acting skills are like fire.
The emperor’s patience with him has reached the limit, and he wanted to stay for a few more years to occupy his place, but this old guy is daring and dares to reach out for anything.
The imperial examination is to promote talents for the country, the cornerstone of the court, and his bottom line.
Dare to cheat on this, that is to jump on his bottom line and court death.
“You should be more cautious in your words and deeds when you are older, so as not to fail in the evening and bring disaster to your family’s descendants.”
This is a warning, the chief assistant’s heart skipped a beat, and a chill rose up his back, this was not right, the emperor was too abnormal, this was different from the reaction of the king he imagined.
What went wrong?
His face was flat, “The emperor is right.”
It wasn’t him who did it, but the responsibility must fall on him.
He is the chief examiner of this exam.
But right now, I can only hope that Shoufu’s hands and feet are clean enough.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
Wu Yiwei got to the bottom of the matter as soon as he came out. Mu Zicheng was on the top when he first appeared on the list, and his ranking was very high, ranking fifteenth.
Send it to the cabinet, and Mu Licheng disappeared from the list. Just ask where the problem is.
The emperor launched the attack too fast, he didn’t give the first assistant time to smooth the traces, and there was no chance to connect.
Of course the examiners dare not offend the cabinet scholars, but when it comes to such a national event, who dares to cover up?
It’s not their fault, why should they take it?
It’s about their own interests. They get rid of it faster than anyone else, which proves that there is no problem with mu Zicheng’s initial volume.
Soon, Wu Yiwei picked up the little official who deliberately stained the roll noodles, followed the vine, and pointed the sword to the first assistant.
Shoufu naturally refused to admit his death. Although he took precautions in advance and ordered him to go down and turn his hands a few times, the incident happened too quickly, and it was too late to finish.
It can only be said that he fell into the pit he dug. He only hates it, and it only takes half a day for him to smooth things out, half a day is enough.
Yes, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
If you do this kind of thing too much, it will happen one day.
Although the Minister of Rites is in the same camp as Shoufu, but when it comes to life and death, of course it is to protect yourself.
He personally testified against the first assistant and directly nailed the other party to death.
The students who failed the list couldn’t help but wonder, they were also thrown out like this before? This can arouse public resentment, and they have demanded a thorough investigation of the immoral things Shoufu has done over the years.
In this way, Shoufu, who was once famous all over the world and had the support of countless mathematicians, became a dog thief who was reviled by everyone overnight.
This wave is as fast as lightning, and when everyone reacts, the dust has settled.
No one expected that a small person would cause such a wave of turmoil in the court.
As a party, mu Zicheng came into everyone’s attention.
Mu Zicheng was coerced throughout the whole process, and experienced a wave of **** storms before entering the official career.
He didn’t dare to go anywhere, just stayed at home and waited for the final result.
Mu Wanqing was very calm, she didn’t seem to show her face in this matter, but she was everywhere.
“Brother, you are implicated by me, the first assistant’s target is me.”
He wanted to force Mu Wanqing to come out and make a fuss through this matter. With Mu Wanqing’s unwillingness to suffer, the whole world will know it.
However, the imperial examinations have always been the most concerned about by the students. Improper handling will shake the foundation of the country, which will make her lose her heart.
He calculated very well, taking every step into consideration, but unfortunately, the opponent he met was Mu Wanqing.
His understanding of Mu Wanqing was superficial, not really.
He only took the first step, and before he could finish, he was caught.
Mu Zicheng has been under a lot of pressure recently and has heavy eye circles, “don’t say that, we are a family, and we will both prosper and lose together.”
There is one thing he doesn’t understand, “However, with the city government of Shoufu, it will not be so rough.”
It feels too fast, too logical.
The corners of Mu Wanqing’s mouth twitched slightly, “I made a bet with the emperor.”
“What?” Mu Zicheng looked blank, how could he not understand?
“
“The first assistant will be arrested as soon as he makes a move. He deserves it.
Of course, this also requires the emperor’s willingness to cooperate. The emperor attaches great importance to the first imperial examination after he ascended the throne and does not allow anyone to do anything.
The emperor made a move, supplemented by the entire state apparatus, and the chief assistant had to admit it no matter how cunning he was.
Mu Zicheng suddenly realized that it was her younger sister who won chess, “sister, you are all for me, thank you.”
Mu Wanqing shook her head solemnly, “For the sake of fairness.”
“You don’t need to explain, I know it all.” Mu Zicheng didn’t know what to do, and was moved to tears.
“Then, perform well in the palace test.” Mu Wanqing also explained more lazily, “The emperor personally presides over it, and no one dares to play tricks under his nose.”
After the meeting, the ultimate battle, the palace exam, the students admitted to this group will be tested by the emperor himself.
Usually speaking, the ranking is changed, and it is impossible to be demoted.
The palace exam came as scheduled, and all the tributes entered the hall with great excitement.
“The Emperor is here.”
Everyone knelt down and shouted long live.
“Be flat.”
The priests straightened their bodies and did not dare to look directly at the holy face. They cautiously glanced around, surrounded by high officials around the emperor. Hey, why is there a woman?
The emperor sat down on the throne and commanded, “Qingping county chief, you come to the topic of Dao policy.”
Wow, is this the legendary Qingping County Lord? Today’s Ministry of Accounts?
Mu Wanqing was followed by the emperor’s name, but she didn’t want to come, her family members would avoid taking the exam.
“Your Majesty, I want to avoid suspicion, please ask other adults to ask questions.”
Everyone glanced at the crowd subconsciously, Mu Zicheng, isn’t she eldest brother? The person who caused the turmoil in the court? Which is it?
Mu Zicheng’s heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating, which was a little exciting!
