Chapter 213 Unexpected (1)
"This paper has been reviewed earlier. The candidate's name has been revealed, and who's paper is clear at a glance."
Zhang Xin said again, "And there are also comments and annotations on the paper. Now Lord Zheng has brought them here. It is better not to read them again!"
Zheng Yi suddenly smiled, "Oh, this is my negligence." As he said, he said, "Old, ask the ten scholars to come and copy these papers again." After that, he looked at Zhang Xin, "Is this time okay?"
"Re-copy, what should I do if the original calligraphy of the candidate?" Before Zhang Xin could speak, someone said, "Some scholars write very well, which is an option to add points. Now that the library has copied it again, there is no good calligraphy, aren't they at a disadvantage?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yi was left with only a sneer.
Are these people confused? They are still struggling with this problem at this moment. Of course, they are not. They are pretending to be confused with understanding.
They are all people who have been dealing with the imperial examinations all their lives. They don’t forget the test papers they have seen, but when the results have been released, they can tell who the test papers are.
The reason why they make excuses like this is just that they are unwilling to admit that they are unwilling to face it.
I want to pretend to be absolutely fair.
Then, Zheng Yi smiled, "Since you are in such a dilemma, I will take the test paper back!" As he said that, he bowed to the direction of the imperial city, "I report to the Emperor Ming to explain your difficulties. You will not bother the Hanlin Academy to re-read the papers. Our people from the Ministry of Rites will do it for you!"
"How can this work?"
Suddenly, everyone in the room glared at Zheng Yi.
The power of the Hanlin Academy is to be robbed by the Ministry of Personnel? If you review it and overturn the previous Hanlin Academy, where will the Hanlin Academy face be put? Isn’t it a joke for the world?
"This is not enough, that is not enough!" Zheng Yi said angrily, "I presided over the imperial examinations for no less than six times, and never made such a thing. Until now, you are still showing off your verbal skills. Little do you know that the scholars and the emperor in the world are all looking forward to it!"
As he said, he looked stern, "Hmph, if you are subordinates of this official..."
Liu Sanwu said, "Jinbutang calmed down!" As he said, he looked back at everyone, "Since you want to read it again, then read it again. If you want to copy the papers again, you will not be named. We will select the scholars that can be recorded and give the candidate an explanation!"
As he said that, he bowed to Zheng Yi again, "I'm sorry to let Zheng Butang follow melons!"
Seeing him like this, Zheng Yi couldn't get angry anymore.
After thinking about it, he approached him and whispered, "I asked someone to copy the paper. Fengyang scholars put the ones on it and northern scholars put the ones in the middle. Do you understand?"
Liu Sanwu whispered, "I understand!"
He didn't understand Zheng Yi's intention at all. He just simply thought that Zheng Yi was telling him the order of the papers. Or to be precise, he didn't understand the profound meaning of Zheng Yi.
At this moment, someone came outside.
The Minister of Personnel Ling Han, with three men in Confucian uniforms, came in slowly.
"I have met Lingbutang!" Liu Sanwu bowed again.
"I'm here!" Ling Han replied, smiled, and looked at the Hanlins in the house.
For some reason, the old Shangshu's smile made everyone feel a little cold.
"Just yesterday, the results were released, and a few fellow villagers of my husband blocked my husband's sedan chair in the street!" Ling Han said, saying indifferently, "Tell me on the street that the examiners are unfair, there are tricks in this examination!"
In an instant, the examiners' eyebrows stood up.
Why? Old Shangshu Ling is scolding him directly?
"Boss Ling!" Zhang Xin, a lecturer, said, "You are an old minister of the country and have also served in the Hanlin Academy. How can you listen to the scholar's words? Isn't it a trick after all? It's simply outrageous!"
"After hearing what his fellow countrymen said, he came to the door. Humph, is that just fair? The officials and wait, I am worthy of your gratitude!"
"Good boy!" Ling Han laughed, "No one dared to talk to me like this for decades!" As he said, he smiled, "I didn't come to me, I just said it casually!"
"The scholar was wronged, and I had the duties of the Guanglu Dafu, the Grand Secretary and the Inspector Censor, so I naturally had to ask!" As he said that, Ling Han looked at Liu Sanwu, "Guess what?"
Liu Sanwu made everyone feel confused and messy, "What's wrong?"
"I asked those young people to rewrite the test papers in my back garden!" Ling Han smiled, "I am also a northerner. Some people often say that northerner articles are not as good as southerner, but my talent..."
"The elder and young man passed the imperial examination and became famous all over the world!" Liu Sanwu said.
"I dare not, but at least I am not blind. Whether they have any talent or not, can still tell whether they should be able to learn or not!" Ling Han said with a smile.
"What does this mean by the elders?" Zhang Xin said again, "Can you really tell me that there are some of your fellow villagers?" After saying that, he burst into laughter.
"The scholars questioned, the court also doubted, and now the old man came here... Haha, my Hanlin Academy has really lost all its prestige! Just tell the officials directly who they are! Anyway, I have no shame, just choose him to be a Jinshi."
This was said without any politeness, and it was almost pointing at Ling Han's nose and saying, "Are you the decision here?"
Liu Sanwu was so angry that he trembled all over, "Why are you so rude? Do you still understand the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates?"
"It's okay!" Ling Han was open-minded and smiled, "Young people are very angry, and I was the same back then. Thinking about the fact that I had just passed the Jinshi that year, I was working with Prime Minister Tuotuo in the court!"
Zhang Xin smiled, "Now in the Ming Dynasty, why did the old master tell the old story of the Yuan Dynasty back then?"
"That's right!" Ling Han had a rare temper today. If it were the past, he would have slapped him and turned around and pointed at the three quail-like scholars behind him. "The top scholar in the current subject, Tanhua, the second-tier, I am ordered to send it to you and review the papers together!"
"Student Chen An!"
"Yin Changlong!"
"Liu Shiyan!"
"I've seen all the teachers!"
The scholars started to make trouble, and the top three of them were in panic, but unexpectedly they were selected as the reviewers. Compared with the reviewers in front of them, they were not only juniors but also students, but naturally they were frightened. In addition, at this time, they did not dare to speak.
Liu Sanwu looked at the three of them, obviously they were all from a big family and nodded, "No need to be polite!"
"Okay, I'm sent here, I'm not here to be annoying!" Ling Han smiled and looked at Zheng Yi again, "Old Zheng, go, don't stick here!"
"Then let's go with the old man!" Zheng Yi said, looking at Zhang Xin and laughing, and the two of them came out side by side.
As soon as they left, Liu Sanwu scolded, "You? You are just a lecturer. Whether you are Lord Zheng or Lord Ling, you are old ministers of the Zhu Kingdom and seniors. Why are you so rude?"
Zhang Xin looked around for a week, "Bachelor, the student is not deliberately rude to the two ministers, but he just doesn't want them to bully us?" As he said, he sighed, "Are you still not sure what happened now?"
Another long sigh, "Their meaning inside and outside is that they are all the result of letting us overturn the first admission?"
Speaking of this, I sighed heavily, "The result is easy to change, but you have thought about it. Once it is changed, it will confirm the statement of Maogui. We are the second to lose face."
"But if someone comes up with such a thing in the future, you and I are both guilty people, and I will be in danger!"
He looked at everyone again, "Who is willing to take this blame for the fraud in the imperial examination?"
~~
"Haha! Those things that don't know how to live or die!" The old man Ling Han was so happy that he laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth.
"Ling Gong is slow!" Zheng Yi also smiled, "Speaking of this, I have never seen such a confused person in the past few years. And I am still a group of confused insects. At this moment, I can't tell which one is lighter and which one is heavy!"
As he said that, he said again, "Mr. Ling is broad-minded. Zhang Xin is so rude, you can bear it!"
"What can you do if you can't bear it? As you see him, I can't afford to lose that person!" Ling Han smiled, "So what if you let him show off his verbal advantage? The next day, I was afraid that he would be unable to tell the difference!"
