The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 276: : The East Window of the Imperial Examination Fraud!

The Imperial Examination, also known as the "Imperial Examination" and "Ting Exam", is the imperial examination for the highest and first-class selection of talents in the Great Xia Kingdom. The questions are prepared by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection. Only those who win the examination can participate. The purpose is to select the final ranking of the tribute to the test, and after passing the palace test, these tribute to become jinshi, they are the students of the emperor, and it is also an effect of imperialism.

   The fourth day of March, the day of the Great Xia Palace Examination.

   Xiao Rui remembered that before the ancient palace examinations in the previous life, re-examinations were required, and the palace examinations would be conducted after the re-examinations. Daxia Kingdom did not have this rule, so it can be said that it saved the leopard's life. Two days ago, Wei Zhongxian secretly sent Tian Ergeng to meet Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui arranged for Wei Zhongxian to pass the news of the imperial examination fraud case to Hai Dafu in advance, as well as the names of six fraud candidates.

There are two such purposes. First, Wei Zhongxian serves as the head of Dongchang No. 1 and is responsible for intelligence spying in the capital. If he can detect fraud cases in advance and lock all candidates, doesn’t it mean that he is careful and capable of doing things. !

Second, the six cheating examinees were revealed to your Majesty in advance for the sake of Leopards. When the fraud cases become serious, your Majesty will inevitably order a thorough investigation. Although Leopards are suspected, he is from a foreign country and has no contact with Zhou Mingwen. The six candidates did not come in contact with each other, and the relationship was innocent. Even if he was suspected, he could not be convicted at will. Now put some medicine on your Majesty, so that it is convenient for Xiao Rui to operate.

   And when Wei Zhongxian heard about the fraud, he was a little shocked because he did not hear the news.

   Xiao Rui was very proud. He used careful thinking to make the imperial examination fraud case true. In addition, King King and King King blocked the news from it. Even though there were many spies in the East Factory, he received no news this time.

   That's why Wei Zhongxian quickly reported to Wei Dabao, and only then did Hai Dafu report to His Majesty yesterday.

   back to the topic.

   This hall examination only examines policy questions. According to the rules of the Great Xia Kingdom, the tribute entered from dawn, and then went through the etiquette such as roll call, scrolling, worship, and salute, and finally issued the policy questions to start the formal hall examination.

   This palace examination is still going on in the Hall of Baohe. Although Xiao Rui is a prince, he doesn't bother to participate in the palace examination. Isn't it good to sleep at home?

   The leopard entered the palace for the first time, and his legs fluttered with excitement. When he was saluting, he secretly glanced at his Majesty, and his forehead was scared with cold sweat. When he got the exam questions for the palace exam, the Leopard's eyes were even blackened.

   "What is Guo Shi Wushuang?"

   This is a test question hand-picked by your majesty in the palace examination this year. For candidates who can become Gongshi, it is not difficult to do the test, but the difficulty is to write brilliantly and outstandingly, but let the leopard write it, what is the warrior of the country?

   Rich, handsome, all-rounder in civil and military, this is the Warriors of the Country. What can be summed up in one sentence, why write four or five hundred words.

   If Xiao Rui heard the answer from Leopard, she would definitely think she was talking about herself.

   In this way, the palace examination officially began.

   The leopard is thinking hard and can't write a strategy. He can only write down the poems that he spends a lot of money to invite people to make, but he didn't expect that just after he wrote the first sentence, a middle-aged man next to him passed out excitedly.

   In this kind of situation, it is impossible not to be excited, nor is it impossible to pass out excitedly.

   I just didn't expect it, not long after, hey, another one fainted.

   Seeing this scene, the leopard instantly felt relieved.

   Nima fainted, what am I afraid of!

  The hall test is carried out to hand in the papers at sunset, and then the papers, palm scrolls, and seals are collected by officials, and the tribute candidates will thank your majesty for leaving the palace.

In the next two days, the six readers appointed by His Majesty will take turns to circulate them, adding five marks of "○", "△", "\\", "1", and "×" to the papers to get "○". The one with the most is the best one, and then among all the books, the ten books with the most ○ are selected as the Emperor Jincheng. The first, second and third places in the first one of the royal batches are the champion, second and third. The three people in the first one are called "Jinshi and No. 1". , Also known as "Sandingjia". A number of people in the Second Class are called "Jinshi background". The last one is the top three, called "Tongjinshi".

As Xiao Rui said, Daxia Kingdom’s palace exam has an advantage. As long as you pass the exam, even if your performance on the palace exam is poor, you will become a "same jinshi". After all, there are only more than 100 jinshi in three years. For Daxia Country, which has a relatively large area, there are not many at all.

   The eighth day of March.

   His Majesty appointed the top three and officially released the list.

   As Xiao Rui expected, Meng Zaikun became the champion in the ternary and first prize. Leopard also mixed with Jinshi background. The next step is to enter the palace face to thank the holy grace, and then the Jinke champion puts on red and hangs the color, beats the drums to ring the gold, and rides on horseback. It is so lively.

   In the evening, Emperor Xia hosted a banquet to entertain the scholars in the list, and then there was a wonderful list to catch his son-in-law, and the imperial examination came to an end.

   Early the next day.

   Xiao Rui didn't need to go to court, but how interesting it is to go to court today. Wouldn't it be that you missed the show if you didn't go to court?

When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Rui and hurriedly surrounded him: "Brother Seven, don't you have to go to court? Don't you leave Beijing in a few days? I heard that the cabinet's will has been drawn up. It's great, I want to go out to play too."

Xiao Rui immediately took out a small notebook, took note of Xiao Yan’s verbal mistakes, and then warned: "King Tang, you have to study like this king. Even if you leave Beijing tomorrow, you have to stand on your last guard today. This is what Dedication and love of work! Why did my father allow me to leave Beijing? It is because I work hard and work hard."

   "Then yesterday, the day before, and the day before yesterday, why didn't you go to the morning court?" Xiao Yan said sarcastically.

   Xiao Rui took another note and scolded: "King Tang, I don't know how to repent, I will take a good book with you the next morning, and see how my father reprimands you!"

   Xiao Yan was speechless.

"Okay, I won't tease you. Today, your Majesty will give an official to the top three Jinshi. I have a relationship with Jinke champion Meng Zaikun. How can we not join in?" Xiao Rui also knew that it was a bit abrupt to participate in the early dynasty suddenly, so I found him Said words.

Xiao Yan let out a cry, and said, "Yes, the champion of Jinke is the grandson of Old Master Meng. He really only learned it. I heard that many people fought to get a son-in-law from the list last night, and they were all fighting for gold. The number one scholar in the division, this Meng number one is also cunning enough to escape, and I don't know how much it hurts the heart of the girl in the boudoir."

   Xiao Rui said with emotion: "I don't know how crazy it will be if I become the champion."

   "Brother Seven, can you die without bragging?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneered.

   Xiao Rui snorted, and immediately took out the small notebook and wrote another sum.

"Xiao Jiu, look, this book of mine remembers your faults. It's full of books, when, when, and what crimes you committed. It's so overwhelming. The sins are unforgivable. No, I have to tell my father truthfully." Xiao Rui held a small book.

   Xiao Yan sighed, he could only beg for mercy repeatedly, and decided that after returning home, he would definitely put Xiao Qirui, the protagonist of his novel, to death!

   With the servants and eunuchs singing up the court, the civil and military officials entered the court.

   Emperor Xia enters the hall, Hai Dafu sings "If something happens early, if nothing happens, retreat from the court", Shang Shulu of the Ministry of Rites is the first to go out on the expedition.

   "Your Majesty, the examinations and palace examinations have ended, and this imperial examination has been successfully completed. According to past practices, please also ask your Royal Highness to select the positions of the top three jinshi to show the emperor's grace." Lu Yuanzheng said.

Xia Huang nodded. According to the past practice, the champion will be selected as a compilation from the sixth rank. The second place and Tanhua are the compilation of the seventh rank. Although the official position is not high, he will be a Beijing official next to the emperor, his qualifications and a way out. They are not comparable to the top two and top three Jinshi.

   As for the second-class and third-class jinshi, the officials are selected according to the vacancies of the officials. Most of them enter the ministries to serve as principals, or they are awarded the seven-ranked prefects, and most of the counties they go to are middle and lower counties.

   "Aiqing's words are reasonable!" Xia Huang smiled: "Then I will order..."

   Just when Emperor Xia was about to speak, Xiao Jing suddenly appeared.

   "Your Majesty, I have something to play!" Xiao Jing said.

   The Emperor Xia was interrupted, and he was not angry, but smiled and asked, "What can King Jing want to play?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, the son was appointed to be the guardian of this examination. Just after the test was released, several candidates wrote to expose the fraud in the examination. The son did not dare to hide it. After a secret investigation , It was discovered that the imperial examination fraud case was serious, the officials involved were of high authority, and the ministers did not dare to take the initiative. I implore your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

"what?"

   The civil and military officials were in an uproar, and they looked at each other with horror.

   How long has it been since Daxiaguo has no imperial examination fraud case? The last time seemed to be twelve years ago. In that imperial examination fraud case, His Majesty Longyan was furious and directly executed the chief examiner who participated in the fraud case. It was also the first time in the history of Daxia Kingdom that the chief examiner was executed because of a fraud case.

Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng's face changed drastically, and Zhou Mingwen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, became even more angry, and immediately went out and shouted: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the words framed by King Jing! We are the chief examiner who is dedicated to his responsibilities, and his officials are honest and fair, and they can be guaranteed by their personality. , There is absolutely no fraud case! As the prince, Jing Wanggui is the prince, and he arbitrarily framed the minister without evidence. The minister is deeply saddened, and please return the innocence of the minister!"

Xiao Yiheng also quickly stepped out and said immediately: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou has done his best for the imperial examination, worked hard and worked hard, and worked **** everything big and small. The three deputy examiners were also meticulous and did not dare to slacken at all. How could he believe that a few failed candidates? Kyogen, is it a fraud case to slander on this golden temple and in the early dynasty? King King, do you have any evidence?"

   Xiao Jing was not afraid of Xiao Yiheng's scolding, but smiled: "Just as the king of Chu said, if this king has no evidence, how can he dare to slander in this golden palace at will?"

Having said that, Xiao Jing faced Emperor Xia and once again stated: "Father, six of the candidates who are on the list in this examination are from Beijing. They are superficially knowledgeable, ignorant, and completely incapable of the high school examination, but Why can I be able to high school Gongshi this time?"

Zhou Mingwen said angrily: "Joke! Your Royal Highness, the candidates who participated in the examination are all Juren, and their own knowledge is not low. You said that the knowledge is shallow, and you are not learning and skillless. You must have listened to the rumors. Resentment, so framing the candidates on the list, this kind of thing often happens after each exam. His Royal Highness is young, and there is excuse for not knowing it. In addition, he will try to cheat, and what he pays is evidence, not just talking about it! "

Xiao Yiheng also sarcastically said: "King King, the big test of the test requires not only knowledge, but also fortune. The test questions for the test come from the Four Books and Five Classics. Candidates have practiced and asked questions in the cold window for ten years. If you have done similar test questions by chance, then With experience, the chances of getting on the list are naturally high. On the contrary, why do many famous talents fail the list? It's not because they have no talents, but because of bad luck. We can't regard the unlikely as fraud!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yiheng bowed his hand to His Majesty and said: "Your Majesty, King Jing is baseless. He listened to the rumors and slandered the existence of fraud in the imperial examination. If the early remarks spread, it will inevitably cause an uproar. Those who fail the exam will be depressed or even depressed. If you are out of control, once you hear the rumors, you will definitely believe that it is true. Then the rumors will be uncontrollable. A good imperial examination event will be insulted by the rumors. Wouldn't it be sad?

   Emperor Xia nodded, and said, "It's very true! King Jing, do you have anything else to say?"

   Xiao Jing did not speak, Jin Wang Xiao Lie played.

   Xiao Rui's eyes lit up in the corner, but he gave Xiao Lie a big treasure, that was the Dragon Sword, if he couldn't push down the tower this time, Xiao Lie would be too foolish.

   Only Xiao Lie came out, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the sons and ministers also have something to play, and it is also about the imperial examination!"

   "Oh? Did you also hear something?" Xia Huang asked.

  Xiao Lie said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of getting a book of questions, please go through it!"

   As he said, Xiao Lie took out a question book from his sleeve and raised his hands.

   Hai Dafu went down immediately and presented the question book to Emperor Xia.

   Xia Huang held the question book, did not read it, but asked: "What is this? Where did it come from?"

   Xiao Lie raised his head and glanced at Xiao Yiheng and Zhou Mingwen. The two of them still looked shameless and were still kept in the dark, completely unaware of their current situation. They both thought that King Jing and himself were in trouble for no reason, just making things difficult. This time it will see how you ruined!

His gaze swept across Xiao Jing, and after the two of them exchanged eyes, Xiao Lie solemnly said: "This is the two days before the meeting, and it cost a thousand taels from the young man next to the son of Lord Zhou, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. I bought it from Si, and at first I didn’t care about it, so I put this test aside. Yesterday, I was chatting with King King about imperial examination fraud, and then he suddenly thought of this test question, so he hurriedly checked it~www.wuxiahere .com~ I found that the test questions really came from it!"

   "Impossible! How could it be possible!" Zhou Mingwen was furious. He actually roared directly in the Golden Temple. No blame for his emotions, because now the spear is directed at him, and he is even murdered, wronging him as the mastermind of fraud.

Just now he always thought that King Jing and King Jin deliberately made things difficult and talked so much, the purpose was nothing more than accusing themselves of faults in serving as the chief examiner, causing trouble for themselves and weakening their merits, but now it seems that it is not so simple and endless. The killer.

   Xiao Yiheng also raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is very emotional, and please forgive your Majesty. After all, whoever faces this kind of slander can hardly control his emotions!"

"Your Majesty, the Weichen thought that King Chu was right. Now that the trial has ended, is it unconvincing to come up with this question? Because it may be forged later!" Feng Gongxian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, served as deputy The examiner also had to come forward to maintain it at this time.

   "Yes, Your Majesty! The question book cannot be used as evidence!"

   "Please also your majesty!"

  …….

  Many officials who supported the King of Chu immediately began to speak.

   Emperor Xia nodded, and then opened the question book. At this sight, Emperor Xia's expression changed.

   And the next scene gave everyone a heartbeat.

   I saw that your majesty threw the question book out, to the feet of Zhou Mingwen, and then said coldly: "Zhou Aiqing, you might as well take a look at this topic! Is it deja vu?"
