Qi Run shook his head repeatedly, thinking that he had seen it wrong. He even rubbed his eyes, but still couldn't believe that the person following Zhao Fengshou was Liu Mingzhi.
Turning his stiff neck, he looked at the exam room No. 360. Sure enough, it was empty. There were test papers that had been obscured on the table. Although Qi Run was participating in Qiuwei for the first time, he also understood that the test papers of the candidates would only be unclear.
Being named means that the paper has been submitted.
Zhao Fengshou was a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials. Naturally, he could not order the examination papers from the candidates in advance without knowing the importance. There was only one possibility. This guy handed in the papers in advance himself.
Qi Run only felt a tightness in his chest and blurry eyes. He almost couldn't breathe. He finally understood why his in-law Liu Zhi'an often scolded Liu Mingzhi as a little bastard. This guy really deserved to be scolded. Qiu
Wei, this is the autumn Wei exam. If you hand in the paper early, isn't this the old man who is seeking death by hanging himself?
It’s okay to just mess around in normal times, but he actually dared to mess around and act wantonly during the Qiu Wei incident. How can such a guy be kept for the New Year unless he’s beaten to death?
Qi Run was not the only one who was shocked. The candidates who were biting their pens and thinking hard along the way were also shocked when they saw the person wearing a Confucian robe following the examiner. They all asked themselves if they were confused. In fact, in the first exam
Three days have passed since Jingyi.
As for why he thinks this way, Liu Mingzhi was not detained by the government officials, and it was obviously not caused by fraud. Except that the time has come, in the minds of these candidates, handing in the paper in advance is not the second stroke.
"Brother-in-law?" The brush in Qi Liang's hand fell directly onto the manuscript paper the moment he saw Mr. Liu. He watched the two of them go away before Qi Liang raised his fingers in a panic: "That's right, it's the next day.
.”
"Senior brother? Why are you following the examiner? You are not allowed to leave the examination room before the time is up. Could it be that senior brother cheated? No way, with senior brother's talent and knowledge, he will not cheat. Even if the top three in the second list are not sure, the top three in high school will be
There should be no problem with ranking among the top ten. Even my mentor said that he will definitely be able to pass high school exams, but it’s hard for him to determine the ranking."
Although Liu Mingzhi was not detained by the government officials, most people naturally believed that Liu Mingzhi had cheated and left the examination room so early.
Although Zhao Fengshou was a serious person during the inspection, he was a good man in private. He had no choice but to act serious. If he didn't give these scholars a heavy blow, they might think that the chief examiner was a generous person, and they would inevitably be moved.
Some crooked thoughts came out.
The deeds of our predecessors are the lessons of future generations. This is the experience summed up by the Qiu Wei of past dynasties, so we can be prepared for any danger.
"sit."
"Thank you, sir."
"Would you like tea?"
"If you don't break the rules, it's okay to ask Brother to give you a cup of tea."
Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi with a slight smile while holding the tea cup, with a look of appreciation: "You are not at all reserved? You must know that I am one of the examiners in Qiu Wei, so you are not afraid of me if you act like this in front of me
Do you want to fail the exam on purpose?"
Smiling, he took the tea brought by the yamen and took a sip: "The adults are joking. The students believe that the adults will never be this kind of person. Besides, the students have not violated any rules. How can the adults decide whether the students live or die? Although the students do not
I am familiar with the adults, but the students trust the officials."
"Oh? What's the explanation?"
"The examiner dispatched by the Ministry of Personnel can easily determine the success or failure of a state's scholars. The students thought that the Ministry of Personnel would never send an examiner with a small belly. It would ruin the reputation of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Hahaha, okay, you are indeed extraordinary. Of course, extraordinary people will do extraordinary things. Now I am not surprised at all that you can hand in the paper in advance. With just a few words, I can see that you will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.
.”
"Inheriting the good advice from the adults, students think so too."
"The first Qiu Wei test questions on classics and meanings have been collected from two examiners and four fellow examiners. Are you so sure that the answers you come up with in one day will be on the list?"
"Does the student say that no adults believe it?"
"I don't believe it. Although this is my first time to take charge of the Jiangnan imperial examination, I have also presided over the imperial examinations of other states and counties in the past years. I have never seen such a calm candidate as you. How talented people are who do not conspire with ordinary people!" Zhao
Fengsheng sighed, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"On the contrary, students rely on God's will. If God has eyes, students will be on the list. If God is ruthless, even if students fail, they will have nothing to say."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I don't say that monsters have the power to confuse the gods. You said that they are all people who read books about sages. How can you believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?"
Liu Mingzhi really wanted to tell Zhao Fengshou that I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but things like time travel can happen, and it doesn't seem strange that there are gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
You don’t have to believe it but you have to be in awe.
"Thank you for your teaching, sir. The students have been taught."
"Recognizing your mistakes can help you improve a lot. What's your name?"
"If a student is not talented, he must make his will clear."
"Liu Mingzhi? Mingzhi, a gentleman cannot express his will, but it is such a good name. I hope you will not disappoint your father's expectations of you, and be a person with a clear mind and great ambitions."
"Students are working hard and hope that one day they will be able to be courteous and have the world in mind."
"You are not modest at all, Liu Mingzhi, Liu Mingzhi, you Liu Mingzhi?" Zhao Fengshou suddenly looked at Liu Mingzhi in astonishment, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Sir? What's wrong with the students?"
"Are you Liu Mingzhi, the eldest son of Jiangnan Liu?"
"Sir, it's the student. Have you heard of the student's name?"
Zhao Fengshou looked at Liu Mingzhi complicatedly. He had not just heard of it. He refused His Majesty's imperial edict and refused to be stationed in the East Palace as the Crown Prince's companion. This caused an uproar in the capital. Although the emperor ordered that it should not be leaked, there are no secrets in the palace.
, I don’t know how many people watched the emperor’s every move. Of course, it was not for rebellion, but to better cater to the emperor’s needs. Therefore, the fact that Liu Mingzhi declined the prince’s accompanying reading spread among the officials.
.
Many people secretly scolded Liu Mingzhi for being ignorant, and even complained that His Majesty's thoughts were getting harder and harder to figure out. The old ministers in the Central Cabinet and the Duke of Hou wished to send their son to the East Palace and they couldn't get it, but someone just made everyone flock to him.
He treated things as if they were trivial, which naturally caused some discomfort.
As an official of the Six Ministries, it is impossible for Zhao Fengshou not to know about Liu Mingzhi's affairs, including the four-character inscription written by His Majesty himself on the day of Liu Mingzhi's wedding.
Many people are a little jealous of this Jiangnan businessman, and are also curious about what kind of virtue this person has to win His Majesty's favor.
Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that the seven imperial edicts that decreed the grassland's favor, and the galloping horses and millions of silver all came from this person. Only then did I know why the emperor treated this young man so favorably, and many people even wanted to make friends with him.
Zhao Fengshou frowned: "So, Master Qi, the governor of Qi, is your father-in-law?"
"Sir, you don't think that my father-in-law helped me cheat on my exams, do you?"
