The entire upper echelon of the National Teachers' Supervisory Office was alarmed.
At noon, the National Examination was closed, and non-involved persons were expelled from the examination room. Less than a quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen ministers, supervisors, and several important figures who came to listen were gathered in the inspection hall. Among them were the National Preceptor.
The Superintendent, Jade Concubine Feng Ya, who came to pay a private visit to the National Examination, and the Hindu Secretary Yafu Town Secretary Feng Shunwen who was responsible for co-administering the National Examination. Originally, Yu Fei had nothing to do with this matter, but it happened just a little while ago
I met with Miao Ruo and Fengshun Wenzai and received the news from the Supervision Department, so they came over to see what was going on.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
Not long after, even Xingmin came.
Everyone present was surprised. Those who were not of high rank stood up to greet them. Only Miao Ruo, Yu Fei and Fengshun Wen sat as firmly as Mount Tai. Needless to say, Miao Ruo, Yu Fei and Fengshun Wen were the officials of the Xindu Division.
Zhensi, a second-grade civil servant, or an uncle of the state, a royal minister, and although Xingmin is the lord of Linhai Palace, he is only a third-grade one. He is one step behind in terms of seniority and official rank, so the former does not need to be afraid of him.
.In addition, although Taidian's status is noble, it is not a real job. In terms of real power, his ability to revitalize the people is far less than that of Fengshunwen.
Xingmin naturally knew the stakes involved. After being polite to everyone, he greeted the three of them as juniors and briefly dealt with the situation with a few words. Miao Ruo, Feng Shunwen's status and position, there is no such thing as
There was nothing more to say, just a simple greeting, but Concubine Jade was quite happy and pulled him to greet him for a while.
"cough--"
Everyone took their seats, and seeing that everyone was here, Miao Ruo coughed slightly, turning everyone's attention back to the topic, "Sacrifice wine, what are you talking about in such a hurry to summon everyone?"
Shi Liming and Du Yunchong looked at each other and immediately narrated the whole thing. The content was 70% true and 30% false. Their words were indignant and fierce. They pointed directly at the fraud in the national examination, but also made insinuations and allusions to other places.
Only then did everyone know the reason, but no one said anything. The people here are not the stupid young people outside. The lowest position is also the supervisor, and the status is about the same as the sixth rank in the court. Everyone is a veteran. Although
There are some people who have a clear stance, but they are not in a hurry to express their position. Instead, they watch the words and emotions, paying attention to the reactions of Dajijiu, Xingmin, Yufei and Fengshunwen.
However, Miao Ruo and Fengshun Wen sat firmly and had no intention of speaking. Yu Fei and Xing Min stopped chatting, but it seemed that it was just because they did not suit the occasion. Besides, their identities
It's true that they are noble, but they don't have any actual duties here. Sitting aside and listening, it's really not their turn to interrupt.
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Du Yunchong continued to vent his anger and shouted angrily, "A mere student going to the final exam not only barged into the examination room and pretended to be a candidate, but also spoke rudely and insulted the previous sages. He did not take the national law into consideration at all! He did not regard the National Teacher Supervisor at all.
He takes it seriously! He doesn’t take teachers’ ethics seriously at all! It’s simply lawless! If he is not severely punished today, how can our country’s law and our country’s teacher supervisors have any face at all?” His words were impassioned and his voice was passionate. He could scold vigorously.
, with foam and stars flying at the mouth, as if he was showing righteous and awe-inspiring public indignation.
Shi Liming looked around and saw that most people were still watching indifferently, waiting for Miao Ruo and Feng Shunwen to speak. There was no third party to answer, and the scene was a bit awkward, so he winked.
Then, someone spoke.
"It's unheard of for something like this to happen during the national examination..."
"Well, I heard that that student is a student of Director Qu Hong?"
"Is this happening? This shouldn't be..."
Several people were talking about it.
Miao Ruo was sitting on the main seat, but his eyelids were half-closed, as if he was sleeping, and he didn't mean to say anything. Xingmin and Yufei drank tea separately, and they acted like they had nothing to do with each other.
Seeing this, Fengshunwen finally spoke, "Well, since your Supervision Department has found out the truth, then just expel the person, why are you looking for us?"
As soon as Shi Liming saw the real drama coming, he immediately took over, "Sir, originally we really planned to expel the person from the examination room. However, Superintendent Qu Hong did not know whether he was bewitched by others or for other reasons, but he repeatedly blocked it, so
…”
"You mean, that student is still in the examination room?"
"Yes."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Fengshun Wenyi frowned, "According to what you said, he is a teenage boy who broke into Diziyuan and pretended to be an examinee. It is already a felony, so you just let him do whatever he wants?"
"Sir, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that Director Quhong..."
"enough!"
Feng Shunwen interrupted him with a shout, "The national examination is an important matter for the country. No matter who it is, if she violates the national examination regulations, she has violated the national law. We will never tolerate it! I don't care whether she is a red girl or a black girl, there will be no exception!"
"
Shi Liming glanced at Miao Ruo and hesitated, "But..."
"No buts!"
Fengshun Wen waved his hand and turned to Miaoruo, "Dajijiu, I heard that Na Quhong is your student, but I believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. But in order to avoid suspicion, it is better to let me do it for you and order someone to take him there."
How about coming here and asking what's going on?"
Miao Ruo opened his eyes slightly.
Concubine Yu took the lead and was a little displeased, "Oh, Master Feng, that's not the case, is it? Since you said that Qu Hong is a student of Dajijiu, can you still suspect that she is involved in fraud?"
Feng Shunwen frowned and said, "Madam, I am just acting in accordance with the law and have no other intentions."
Concubine Yu sarcastically said: "Oh? Act according to the law? Who doesn't know that Supervisor Qu Hong is a direct disciple of Dajijiu? If you doubt her, are you doubting Dajiu Bar? Or do you think that Dajijiu disciples are incompetent?"
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed.
Feng Shunwen's expression turned cold, "Your Majesty! I know that you always respect the grand sacrificial wine, but please be careful with your words!"
"Huh, why do I..."
"aunt."
Xingmin reminded in a low voice, "Although this matter is an internal matter of the National Teachers' Prison, it is being investigated by the Si Yamen, so it is considered a government matter..."
When Concubine Yu heard this, her expression changed, she said "hum" and stopped talking.
Feng Shunwen ignored her and looked at Miaoruo, "I wonder how the wine at the grand ceremony feels?"
"Um--"
Miao Ruo tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "Master Feng's words make sense, so I'll bother you, Master Feng."
"The words of Da Ji Jiu are serious. It is my duty. If there is any offense, I hope Da Ji Jiu will not take offense." He was polite, Fengshun Wen turned his head, but his face darkened, "Send Ji Jiu! Du Ji Jiu."
!”
"yes."
Shi Liming and Du Yunchong were shocked and responded immediately.
Feng Shunwen waved his hand, "You disturbed the national examination, broke the law and committed chaos. I am ordering the Yamen Guards to go with you and arrest him and put him in prison!"
"yes!"
Shi and Du were secretly happy and loudly accepted the order.
"In addition, if anyone dares to obstruct law enforcement, he will be punished with the same crime!"
"yes!"
"Wait!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Feng Shunwen spoke earnestly and with many warnings, "Now is the national examination period. You should keep your actions as quiet as possible and don't disturb the students in the examination room..."
Shi Liming, Du Yunchong naturally agreed repeatedly.
However, at this time, some people present were distracted and looked in the direction of the back hall. Then, more and more people discovered something, and most of their attention was not in the lobby.
Because their backs were turned, Feng Shunwen didn't notice it yet, but Concubine Yu noticed it. She looked up and saw a woman wearing a silver cheongsam walking out of the back hall and walking straight towards her calmly. She was stunned.
Then I saw Xingmin beside him calmly drinking tea, the old temple god Ruo Ruo was dozing on the ground, and then Fengshunwen was still speaking solemnly...
The scene is somewhat funny.
On this side, Feng Shunwen urged Dundun, Shi Liming, Du Yunchong and others obeyed and agreed repeatedly; on the other side, everyone looked at the woman coming in with strange expressions...
Concubine Yu felt a little embarrassed and covered her lips with her plain sleeves, "Cough, cough——"
Fengshun Wenhui misunderstood and waved his hand, "Okay, you two go and come back quickly..."
Shi Li cursed secretly and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw someone else beside Miao Ruo. He unconsciously took a closer look and was dumbfounded. Du Yunchong was beside him and didn't notice, so
It wasn't until I turned around and walked a few steps that I noticed something unusual. When I looked back, the atmosphere in the whole place had become quite strange.
Fengshunwen realized it later, and when he looked back, his expression froze. Although he had no contact with Qu Hong, Fengshunwen naturally recognized her, and his mind could not react for a while.
Qu Hong, however, had a calm look on her face. She saluted Miao Ruo first, then everyone else, and then slowly sat down on an empty seat next to Miao Ruo. During the whole process, she didn't say a word, and others didn't dare to speak.
Basically, she just nodded and smiled. She can indeed be so arrogant, not to mention her reputation as a genius that only appeared once in a century. The position of the National Supervisor is independent of the Chao Gang, and the Chief Supervisor is equal to the expert of the National Supervisor. As long as she does not commit any crime,
In theory, except for saints and emperors, you can ignore anyone's appearance. In fact, she did so. Otherwise, with her knowledge in pharmacology, she would have been promoted to the youngest person in the history of the National Teacher Supervisor two years ago.
It's time to drink wine.
Shi Liming, Du Yunchong was completely confused now. He could neither leave nor stay.
"Qu Jijiu, you came just in time."
After a while, Miao Ruo broke the silence first and said slowly: "Just now, Li Ming and Yun Chong said that your students cheated and violated the ban in the national examination. Do you want to explain it yourself?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. It was not because of the words that followed, but because of the sound of "Qu Saji Liquor".
"Sacrifice, sacrifice wine?"
"Ah? Oops, look at this old man's mind. He actually forgot about this." Miao Ruo patted his forehead and explained: "Everyone, Supervisor Qu Hong has performed very well in the Nanjing Normal University in the past two years, especially in medicine.
In terms of technical editing, he has made outstanding contributions to the Nanshi Supervisor and has been recognized by the Nanshi Supervisor. He has been elected as the new Jijiu by the Nanshi Supervisor."
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.
You must know that in the entire Daxing Dynasty, the number of people offering wine sacrifices was less than a hundred, and almost every one of them was a master in their respective academic fields.
What is a master? Knowledge, experience, experience, fame... all of these are indispensable, and at the same time, they all require long-term accumulation. Therefore, whenever the word 'master' is mentioned, what ordinary people most often think of is a group of old men...
This is indeed the case. In the National Teachers' Prison, the average age of those who were recorded as offering wine was over 50 years old.
Currently, the youngest holder of the record of offering wine in the Imperial College is none other than Miao Ruo, the current Grand Master of the Imperial College. However, even though Miao Ruo is a genius, he only completed this feat at the age of thirty-five.
feat.
How old is Qu Hong? Only in her early thirties!
Everyone was dumbfounded and in disbelief. If what Miao said was true, it meant that Qu Hong would replace him and become the youngest sacrificial wine minister in the history of Daxing Dynasty!
Moreover, it is recommended by the Nanshi Supervisor, which may be more difficult than the recommendation by the National Supervisor!
The National Teachers Supervisor has four branches in Dongfang Continent, namely, the East, South, West, and North Teachers Supervisors. These four branches are one level lower than the National Teachers Supervisor, but they have their own local system.
Here we only talk about promotion channels. Because the total amount is limited and the number of places in the branch is smaller than that of the National Teacher Supervisor, the competition is particularly fierce. Among them, the wine offering is the most important. The four major branches have a vacancy-filling system, and only if one is missing.
To fill one, if you are unlucky, there may not be a vacancy for ten or eight years. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be.
So, you are saying that you, a supervisor of the National Prefecture Supervisor, are parachuted down to grab the place for the local wine ceremony? Even the people sent by the Emperor can drown you with their spit...
If Qu Hong was really recommended by Nan Division Supervisor, there is probably only one reason, and that is that her ability has completely impressed many of Nan Division Supervisor's ministers and supervisors.
What is this concept?
It is no exaggeration to say that it is basically equivalent to challenging the entire Southern Division Supervisor by oneself... In the entire National Division Supervisor, except for Miao Ruo, I am afraid that few people dare to say that they can do it.
What's more, it only took Qu Hong two years.
Everyone had different expressions and the whole place was silent.
Concubine Yu's eyes were gloomy. Although she didn't know how difficult Qu Hong's actions were, she did know the status of sacrificial wine, otherwise she wouldn't have tried her best to support Shi Liming and Du Yunchong of the Qingzhuang Sect. However, she adjusted in the blink of an eye.
I was in a good mood and immediately sent my congratulations, "This is a great event! Congratulations to Director Qu, no, it should be Qu Jiji wine, congratulations."
Only then did the rest of the people come to their senses, and congratulated them one after another regardless of their likes or dislikes. Even Feng Shunwen lowered his posture and congratulated with a smile.
"congratulations……"
The corners of Du Yunchong's mouth were trembling, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and held his hands in the air to congratulate him.
Only Shi Liming opened and closed his mouth but didn't make a single sound. His expression looked like he had eaten a piece of overnight stool. His face turned green and red, and even his skin and flesh were twitching.
Xingmin, on the other hand, was silent in the audience, and had no special reaction at this time. He just congratulated everyone, and then continued to drink tea in a low-key manner, as if he came here just to join in the fun. Of course, his status is
Well, those who are thoughtful will naturally pay attention to his every move and scratch their heads trying to figure out the meaning.
Qu Hong's expression finally softened, and she returned greetings to everyone one by one. Her attitude towards different people was almost written on her face. She ignored those she didn't like, like Du Yunchong, nodded indifferently, and greeted some of them.
Those who are friendly will respond with a slight smile...but like Yu Fei and Fengshun Wen, she is polite but does not smile, making people confused about her true attitude.
"alright."
Miao Ruo seemed a little ignorant and suddenly spoke, pouring cold water on the newly heated scene, "Let's talk about the congratulations later. Let's talk about the fraud now."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience paused, and then became quiet.
Feng Shunwen reacted quickly, coughing lightly and said: "Ahem, what Dajijiu said is absolutely true. Fraud in the national examination can be major or minor, and should be treated with caution."
"No, that's right!"
Shi Liming straightened his neck and said loudly: "Cheating in the national examination is a serious crime. Knowingly committing it will only add to the crime. We must not condone it!" Although he did not refer to anyone clearly, his voice was upright, resounding and quite interesting.
There is an awe-inspiring momentum to speak out for justice.
Du Yunchong also said: "The national examination is an important matter and cannot be taken carelessly..."
Everyone has their own thoughts and looks.
As a party involved, Qu Hong sat quietly and watched with cold eyes.
Concubine Yu couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little strange, "Oh, Qu Jijiu, I believe in your character, but shouldn't you say something at this time?"
Qu Hong asked calmly, "What do you want me to say?"
"It's not that I want you to say anything, it's that you should give everyone an explanation." Concubine Yu straightened her face, "After all, in the matter of the national examination, the success lies in the present, and the benefit will be for the future. There must be no mistakes."
"What you said is absolutely true!"
Qu Hong suddenly changed his tune, nodded slightly in agreement, and then turned to Shi Liming, "Excuse me, Shi Jiujiu. Why do you say that my student cheated on the national examination?"
Shi Liming sneered and said matter-of-factly, "He broke into Diziyuan without permission, pretended to be an examinee, and disrupted the discipline of the examination room..."
"Why is he trespassing? Why is he making false claims? Why is he causing disturbance?"
"Test the card? Hahaha -" Shi Li was secretly happy and immediately said: "He is a teenager and a junior high school student. How did he get the card test in the level 4 examination room? Did you give it to him from Qu Jijiu!"
There was an uproar among the people.
Qu Hong's face remained calm, "Let me ask you, what's wrong with him entering the examination room holding an examination card?"
"Haha, what's wrong with this? The level 4 card test is..."
"Then let me ask you again, have you ever checked the authenticity of the cards?" Qu Hong interrupted him impatiently.
"Haha, it's so ridiculous. Does this need to be checked? Is it possible that he, a teenager who is not a junior scholar, can still be a level 4 pharmacist? This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, hahaha——"
Shi Liming looked up to the sky and laughed.
Concubine Yu gave a low chuckle and glanced at Xingmin next to her.
Many people present were already sweating for Qu Hong. From a common sense point of view, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with Shi Liming at all, and they just thought that Qu Hong was really cheated by the students.
"He is really a level 4 medicine man."
Suddenly, a light word shook the entire audience.
Fengshun Wen was drinking tea calmly, but when he was caught off guard, the tea in his throat was choked and he spat it out with a 'cough'.
Everyone turned to the chief with astonishment.
If it had been someone else, everyone would have thought he was either crazy or stupid. However, it was Miao Ruo who spoke. His expression was indifferent, or he was afraid that others could not hear clearly, so he specifically called his name once more: "Ruo Shijiu said that
If it’s Qu Hong’s student Wen Wu, then he is indeed a level 4 pharmacist.”
Shi Liming's eyes widened, "You are ridiculous!" He almost cursed.
"It's ridiculous, but it's true."
The old god Miao Ruo was there and explained: "This Wenwu has passed the internal examination of the Nanshi Supervisor and was jointly recommended by three Jijiujiu. He was promoted to level 4 medicine scholar last month, breaking the rules. However, the recommendation approval document
It was only delivered with him a few days ago, and the formal review was completed the day before yesterday, so it’s not surprising that everyone here doesn’t know yet.”
"impossible!"
Shi Liming lost his guard a little and shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's so ridiculous! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Although these few words were indignant words, they expressed the sentiments of most people present. Regardless of their stance, few people present could accept what Miao Ruo said, and they all found it absurd.
Miao Ruo said calmly: "I understand your feelings. When I first heard the news, I also felt it was ridiculous. However, for Wen Wu's approval to be promoted to level 4 pharmacist, Chen Ping, Li Yongnong, Wang Cong, Sun Bing, Sigong Miaoyao
The five priests jointly reviewed, and let me see, oh, unfortunately, none of them happened to be here, but that is not the point. The point is, the approval document has passed the review, and I naturally have to abide by the rules. Our country's teacher supervisors have always abided by the national laws and regulations, right?
?I think you all can understand my difficulty."
The whole crowd looked at each other and discussed secretly.
"It's really incredible..."
"It's hard to convince the public..."
Questions like this arise one after another.
"It stands to reason that I have no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the National Medical Supervisor. However, with all due respect, I have never heard of a sixteen-year-old fourth-level pharmacist. What is the basis for your National Medical Supervisor's approval document?"
Feng Shunwen seized the opportunity and interjected, "It's not that I am nosy, it's just that if we are not careful about such important matters, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be ridiculous to spread it out? Even if there is a reason for the matter, there should be an explanation, right?
, Otherwise, it will inevitably cause the outside world to question the impartial image of the National Teachers Supervisor, which will damage the reputation of the National Teachers Supervisor."
Concubine Yu stopped pretending and said bluntly: "What Mr. Feng said is absolutely true. If you list a junior student of unknown origin as a level 4 pharmacist based on just a few words, it would be hard to convince everyone."
?”
Miao Ruo remained silent and looked at Qu Hong with a troubled expression on his face.
"Ah!"
Qu Hong sneered, "If you don't believe it, why don't you ask questions and investigate? Let's not talk about it. Offering wine and drinking wine, is it so difficult for you two to find out the details of a student?"
Shi Liming replied: "It's absolutely impossible, so why investigate? You are wasting everyone's time..."
boom.
Qu Hong slapped the armrest of the chair and smashed it into pieces, "Then you are abusing your power and dereliction of duty! You keep talking about laws and regulations, but you don't even follow the most basic procedures. Where do you get the face!"
Shi Liming choked, his lips trembling with anger and his face trembling.
Seeing this, Concubine Yu hummed: "Qujijiu is so prestigious. Now we are investigating the matter of cheating in the examination room. You..."
Qu Hongliu raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly, "Jade Concubine, this is the internal affairs of the Imperial Prefect's Prison, please don't interfere!"
Concubine Yu's face changed, "You!"
"What about me?"
Feng Shunwen said coldly: "I was ordered to assist the national teacher in supervising the examination, so I have the right to intervene, right?"
Qu Hong sneered and said: "Of course I have the right. I'm just about to ask you something! Sir, may I ask, if you slander the candidates during the national examination and disrupt the order of the examination room, what crime should you be punished for?"
Fengshunwen was asked a rhetorical question and couldn't help but be stunned.
In an instant, the situation suddenly changed and became tense. Most people were still a bit unable to react. They didn't know how they could be polite one moment and then have hard sex with each other in the next moment.
Shi Liming was anxious, "Qu, Qu Hong, what do you mean!"
"Hmph! Didn't you say that my student cheated? How about I make a bet with you today? I will put my words here. If my student really cheats, I will share his guilt!"
Qu Hong's words shocked the entire audience and became silent, "Contrary to this! If it is later proven that you and Du Jijiu neglected their duties and abused their power, then what will you do!"
Shi Liming and Du Yunchong were stunned.
Everyone was also suffocated by Qu Hong's aura. Could it be that there are some articles in it? So far, most people still don't believe what a sixteen-year-old level 4 pharmacist said.
Concubine Jade's face was already ugly. Du Yunchong winked at Shi Liming. Du Yunchong lowered his head and pretended to be stupid. Shi Liming could only grit his teeth and responded forcefully, "You should be punished!"
"good!"
Qu Hong cheered, then sat down, closed his eyes and said no more. This sudden change in painting style, from movement to stillness, almost without warning, made people stunned.
Shi Liming was also stunned. Concubine Yu and Feng Shunwen looked at each other, and they were all confused.
"Ho--"
Xingmin blurted out a smile. Although his voice was not loud, the whole place was silent, so he seemed a little awkward. Everyone looked at him, and they were all confused. He listened for a whole day, silent throughout the whole process, and basically said nothing.
This sudden occurrence will inevitably make people suspicious, but they have no clue at all, which is really hard to cope with.
"cough."
Seeing this, Miao Miao had no choice but to speak again, "I'm afraid this matter is just a misunderstanding, and it's more than that. Oh, that's fine, I'll just say a few more words. After hearing this, the reason why I was able to be recommended by Nan Division Supervisor is
Because I participated in the revision of the medicinal compilation, I helped check more than 90,000 prescriptions and corrected more than 800 of them..."
Everyone was in a daze as they listened, feeling like they were listening to nonsense.
Miao Ruo continued: "Although a few of these prescriptions for rest and rejuvenation still need to be verified, most of them have been certified by the Nanshi Supervisor and re-entered into the medicine book. Moreover, he did pass the third-level medicine
The internal examination of the scholar is evidenced by the dossier and the joint approval of all five Nanshi Supervisors. The final review is just a formality."
The whole place was silent, except for the sound of a needle dropping.
Miao Ruo's words revealed two signals. Either the entire Southern Supervisor and half of the National Supervisor were working together to deceive Wen Wu, or Wen Wu was indeed an immortal.
