The imperial examination will not be held until March next year, and even the dean will not go back and will stay here to celebrate the New Year.
He wanted to wait here and watch his brothers take the high school entrance examination. He wanted to see the grand occasion of passing the third grade.
If you have money, you don’t have to worry about your life. There is nothing new about the Chinese New Year in the capital, except that there are more fireworks.
Many people who came to visit were stopped by the dean. The excuses were very easy to find. The two of them studied hard and waited for the next year's palace examination to achieve good results.
In this way, no one would have the nerve to come and disturb me. Some people who wanted to study together were rejected in the same way.
There are many people who have not met the two of them. Even if they are curious, there is nothing they can do. They are missing. They can only wait until the exam to see them in person.
Two months later they took part in the palace examination. Submission to the royal family was deeply rooted in this era.
The two of them don't have this feeling, but they can't be special. Although they don't have to kneel when meeting officials, they still have to kneel when facing the emperor. They haven't seen it yet, but kneeling is unavoidable.
The imperial examination takes place outside. There is no possibility of cheating in full view of the public.
Those who are able to come here are not free of charge, it can be said that they are all talents.
The results will not be available immediately after the palace examination. What is more humane is that you don’t have to wait outside.
Both of them felt that this was the most comfortable exam, even though they had to kneel down.
I came back just to wait for news, and three days later I was in the place everyone dreamed of, even though I was just waiting outside.
The final top three were determined by the emperor himself, which is also the highest honor.
After the morning session, everyone heard the sound of drums, and everyone felt excited. This should be a way to unite people.
I really felt the singing scene.
Hearing their names, they entered the main hall amidst the envy of everyone.
The arrogant young man walking with them also lowered his arrogant head.
The three of them knelt down and listened to the roll call.
Qi Wen came first, Meng Po came second, and Liu Qiyun came third.
Liu Qiyun seemed unable to bear the blow, and even kneeling beside him felt frustrated.
When the three men got up, the emperor wanted to judge them.
"It's a sign of the country's prosperity. The top pick and second pick this year are actually so young. That's great."
The emperor's words were the greatest affirmation for the two of them. The people below also understood what the emperor meant. They were optimistic about the two young men.
There is no evaluation of the third overall pick, which is actually quite unfair.
The emperor was sitting on it and could see the expressions of everyone below. The two young men were very good-natured, not afraid of honor or disgrace, and their eyes were very upright.
The other person has a bad character and shows doubts and dissatisfaction. Such a person will not go far.
Ye Zongshen was very surprised. He was already suspicious when he saw the two names, but he didn't believe that they had the strength. But after seeing them today, he knew that these were his two sons. They were fine, not dead, and they were the number one scholar in high school and
Second place.
There is no way to describe his excitement now.
Qi Wen and Po Meng knelt down again to thank the emperor.
"Get up. You must serve the country from now on."
The two kowtowed again before getting up.
"Your Majesty, they should be brothers, right?" The Prime Minister said with a smile. He knew the Emperor's temper best, so there must be no problem in saying so.
Po Meng held her hand. "Yes, Prime Minister, we are twin brothers."
"You don't look much alike."
"The personalities are also different."
"Are you the elder brother?"
"Yes, I am the elder brother."
Ye Zongshen really couldn't hold it back and stood up and raised his hands to the emperor, "Your Majesty, these are my two sons."
The emperor smiled and looked at Ye Zongshen, then at Qi Wen and the others.
"oh?"
"Looking at their resumes, they were admitted down below."
Ye Zongshen sighed, "Their aunt passed away and they were extremely sad. I asked them to go live in the countryside. Unexpectedly, the person who escorted them came back and told them that they had been killed by bandits. I was sad for a long time."
Qi Wen and Po Meng just lowered their heads, thinking that Ye Zongshen was really ill and had to seek medical treatment indiscriminately. So is there really no problem?
"Bandit. Did you report him to the police? Have you caught him?"
"When I remembered, that servant had already left the Hou Mansion."
"Master Ye is really in trouble. His two sons died and he actually said that he forgot to ask where it happened? Forgot to report it to the official?"
Ye Zongshen's nemesis Lu Guogong said with a smile.
There are no fools here, and the friends of Duke Lu will certainly not let go of this person who attacked Ye Zongshen.
"Isn't that true? Mr. Yehou is really impressive. Number One Scholar, why didn't you go home when you came back? You must be quite comfortable in the Hou Mansion."
They are both big shots, so of course they two little shrimps cannot remain silent.
Qi Wen cupped her hands. "Sir, we are already dead in the Hou Mansion."
"Hehe. I really guessed it right."
The emperor was listening on the side. He felt a little regretful when he knew that the two were Ye Zongshen's sons. He didn't expect it to be like this.
The emperor's thoughts moved. "Is there anything you can talk about today?"
Both of them were happy, and it was a good thing to resolve it this way.
Po Meng raised her hand and took out two pieces of paper. This was the coachman's confession at that time.
The eunuch took it and handed it to the emperor.
It has everything on it.
The emperor waved his hand, "Eunuch Bai, just read it directly."
It was a good opportunity to take back the Ye family's death-free gold medal. I was still thinking of a way, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Eunuch Bai read it out directly after receiving the order.
Ye Zongshen's face was very ugly. He really hated the woman at home. She calculated all day long from morning to night, and she didn't have a brain. If she could really calculate anything, it would be fine. Those little clever things are all on the surface, and people can tell at a glance.
figure it out.
After reading, everyone looked at Ye Zongshen, making him very embarrassed.
"I really didn't know there was such a thing."
"Haha, Lord Ye can explain away everything without knowing anything."
"Master Yehou is really incompetent." What the Duke of Lu said was serious enough.
Qi Wen and the others were standing here, and she knew this was a good opportunity.
Ye Zongshen was very angry. This was too humiliating. He regretted that they had met here just now. If he had anything to say back, although it might not be very glamorous, he would not be denounced like this.
The emperor just said lightly, "Are all women so cruel? Is human life so worthless?"
This time the level is different again. It has risen to the matter of murder.
Ye Zongshen really had no choice but to kneel down immediately.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will definitely investigate this matter when I get back."
The emperor ignored him and just looked at the two brothers.
Meng Poduo was shrewd and immediately handed over her hand, "Your Majesty, our brothers just want to find justice for my aunt."
