Tan Ran never thought that he would actually lose his reputation while Ge Rong standing beside him had already secured the victory.

He saw that the most important thing for Zhu Han now was to no longer take Tan Ran seriously.

Tan Ran knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

He was unwilling to give up his great future to others like this, and even thought that since Zhu Han had decided to help him in the first place, he could not ignore it now.

"Your Majesty, I really know that I was wrong this time. Please give me another chance. I will definitely prepare well for the imperial examination. It will never be like this again."

Tan Ran shed tears, and Zhu Han looked down at Tan Ran in front of him.

"In fact, I have given you a chance a long time ago, but you failed to live up to it."

"You deserve what you have become like this. If you can follow the plan I gave you, you will naturally have a place in Yingtian Mansion in the future."

Zhu Han said as he looked at Tan Ran who was kneeling on the ground with a dissatisfied look on his face.

He really thought that the students from Yingtian Mansion who could come out on top in the imperial examination would naturally have a lot of strength.

But after being in contact with Tan Ran for such a long time, Zhu Han realized that things were not that easy.

"Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I will study hard and come out on top when I take the imperial examination next year. This is your chance, Your Majesty."

Zhu Han had long since lost any patience, and Ge Rong standing by had already seen Zhu Han's thoughts.

So he also tried to persuade him, even if Tan Ran was acting crazy here no matter what.

It is impossible for Zhu Han to allow him to cause trouble in the palace again.

"Tan Ran, if you didn't study well this time, just go back and make preparations next time. It won't be too late to take the imperial examination next year."

"Your Majesty, you have done your best to be kind and righteous. You don't need to say those useless words anymore."

Ge Rong was already dealing with it very calmly, but he didn't expect that when Tan Ran heard Ge Rong's words, he suddenly rushed to Ge Rong like crazy.

He looked at Ge Rong in front of him, and his heart was filled with hatred.

"Why did you become the top pick in high school? This completely replaced my strength. You deliberately asked me questions about people's livelihood before the exam started."

"Did you write in the same direction as me when you took the imperial examination? Otherwise, how could you get into high school?"

Ge Rong did not expect that he would be so crazy now that he would dare to question his own strength in the scientific examination.

Ge Rong patiently explained to Tan Ran.

In this imperial examination, Mr. Song Liansong set all the questions.

Moreover, Zhu Biao has already begun to select a lot of talents in this imperial examination, even if they can answer the examination questions.

In the future, they will definitely be able to see their talents under Master Song's strict supervision.

Not one article can replace it. Multi-faceted development is the most important change in this imperial examination.

Ge Rong followed Zhu Han and was determined to become a man of lofty ideals since he was a child. Therefore, he had a deeper understanding of the imperial examination than others.

"This imperial examination is not only about whether the articles you write are in line with the current development of the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, whether you have a heart that thinks about the people of the world."

"And you should know in your heart what the article you wrote is like."

Ge Rong's words instantly made Tan Ran speechless.

In recent days, he has become so greedy for profit that he no longer cares about the life and death of the people in the imperial examination questions. He is all about being promoted to a higher position.

Some of these articles also stated that if you want people to live and work in peace and contentment, you must promote the strength of the country.

In this way, even people who did nothing could actually live a long life with the support of the imperial court.

When such an article was brought to Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it simply tainted his discernment.

When Zhu Han got Ge Rong and Tan Ran's articles, he had already taken a look at them and already had a good idea of ​​their talents and knowledge.

Zhu Han even thought that if Tan Ran could really soar into the sky this time.

I have accumulated merit, but I didn't expect this to be the result.

Zhu Han doesn't have much patience anymore.

He gave Ge Rong a look, and Ge Rong quickly stood up and took a few steps forward, then helped Tan Ran up and took him out of the study.

Zhu Han's ears finally calmed down a lot.

After a while of burning incense, Ge Rong came to the study alone. He slowly knelt in front of Zhu Han.

"Your Majesty, I was able to reach high school in the imperial examination this time thanks to your teachings. If it weren't for your Majesty, there would be no Ge Rong today."

Zhu Han looked at Ge Rong with a smile on his face.

"Your father and I are very happy that you can go to high school this time. In this case, you should make good choices for your future path."

"Whether you want to follow Mr. Song or work with me to deal with Yingtian Mansion, it's up to you to decide. Mr. Song is the leader of all officials, and you can learn from him in the future.

Got a lot of things.”

Zhu Han didn't have much confidence that he could keep Ge Rong, but he knew that Ge Rong would definitely make plans for his future.

As expected, Ge Rong chose Zhu Han without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I have been by your side since I was a child, and this time I will definitely follow you as the number one scholar in high school."

"The prince needs helpers. Wang An and I were both promoted by the prince. Naturally, we will not join other people's disciples."

Song Lian is the head of civil servants and has an extraordinary status in Yingtian Mansion.

He and Zhu Han didn't have much interaction with each other. If he joined Song Lian's disciples, Ge Rong could imagine that he would definitely receive a lot of looks in the eyes in the future.

Although he doesn't want to have many backers in Yingtian Mansion, he hopes that with his own efforts, he can get an official position in Yingtian Mansion.

That can naturally be improved.

He could think of it, and Zhu Han could naturally guess it, but he didn't expect Ge Rong to give up such a future and stay with him, which made Zhu Han feel more confident.

"You are indeed a talented person with great ambitions. I have really wronged you before."

Zhu Han turned around, walked to Ge Rong, and patted his shoulder gently.

He has always had high hopes for others, and now that he has developed like this, Zhu Handu is extremely moved.

Zhu Han would not let Ge Rong's talent be buried like this.

He had already made arrangements for Song Lian. After Ge Rong became an official in the court, he would definitely handle the court affairs together with Song Lian.

The relationship with him must be managed well so that Ge Rong can gain a foothold in the government.

"The prince has put a lot of thought into the imperial examination this time. After the imperial examination is over, you have to thank the prince properly."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, Ge Rong nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go and thank the Prince immediately."

Zhu Han had a smile on his face, waiting for the good news. Zhu Biao read the list sent by Song Lian. When he saw Ge Rong's name, Zhu Biao was very happy.

"Master Song, you don't know something. Ge Rong is the person who is with the emperor's uncle. He is very knowledgeable."

"There is no doubt that he will be able to become the number one scholar. I wonder if Mr. Song can take him with him and place him in the official department."

Song Lian frowned slightly when he heard Zhu Biao's words. He looked upright.

"The relationship between the prince and Ge Rong is very good?"

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly. He had been watching Ge Rong study so seriously these days.

Zhu Biao expected him to be the top pick in high school.

This time, placing him in the official department was considered to be Ge Rong's wish.

"Sir Song, Ge Rong is a talented person. I believe that after he goes to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he will follow your arrangements and think about the people."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he won't miss it."

Since Zhu Biao said this, Song Lian naturally did not refuse, so he agreed.

"The prince's contribution to the imperial examination this time is very great. I will file a memorial immediately so that your majesty can reward you well."

Song Lian has always been respectful to Zhu Biao.

He has devoted a lot of effort to the Ming Dynasty, and now the growth of His Royal Highness is also very important to him.

After hearing Song Lian's words, Zhu Biao stood up quickly and bowed respectfully to Song Lian.

"Your Excellency is so polite. As long as you think about the people of Ming Dynasty, you don't need to think too much about the rest."

Song Lian looked at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of admiration.

He had to admire that Zhu Yuanzhang must have put a lot of thought into raising his son.

Zhu Biao's ability to look like this is due to a lot of Zhu Yuanzhang's contributions.

"Since the prince has no problem with this list, I will announce it immediately to the gate of Gongyuan. Now many students are waiting to see the final result."

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly and followed Song Lian to announce the honor list directly to the gate of Gongyuan.

It immediately caused a stir in many quarters.

The students came over one after another to join in the fun, and they were in an uproar when they saw the names on the list.
