Maid, Little Lucky Wife

The emperor glared at the prince, "Then what do you think we should do? Should all the good scientific examinations be canceled and retaken?"

The prince carefully thought about life for a while, "I think there is no need to invalidate it. After the scientific examination is over, we can have a public review and pick out all the ones with similar answers."

"The level of these answers is insufficient, and the current top three are definitely not enough."

The prince was quite disgusted with this set of answers. His level was only above average, and he could barely pass the exam.

In this way...it would be interesting.

The emperor also became interested, "Pass the order, the exam will continue, there is no need to catch cheaters anymore."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An official was ordered to go down to inform, but Mo Xuan stood there and did not move.

Now that you have come out, as an invigilator you cannot re-enter.

Just in time, I can rest for a few days.

Unfortunately, Mo Xuan's wishful thinking failed and he was captured by the prince.

"Okay, just come with me to investigate this matter!"

Regardless of Mo Xuan's resentful eyes, he grabbed him and refused to let him leave.

The fourth brother left at this time. The tenth brother was still young and there were only a few people available. The Marquis would definitely not invite him. The prince asked the emperor to send him to deal with other matters, and that could only be Mo Xuan.

Fortunately, Mo Xuan came out of the invigilation team.

Mo Xuan was reluctant, but he could only be forced to follow.

The prince also felt that his father had been lazy recently and was unwilling to approve memorials. Sometimes he was unwilling to go to court.

Fortunately, my father did not go to any harem courtyard, otherwise he would have doubted whether he was fascinated by some woman.

When the test questions are leaked, the biggest suspect is the teacher who compiled the test questions, followed by the disciples named by those people.

Several teachers were inspected and observed by the imperial court at all levels. They really didn't believe that these people would leak the test questions.

When preparing the test questions, they all choose the same place of residence. During this period, these teachers will not see anyone and only have one or two trusted assistants around them.

After a few days, the scientific examination was finally over.

I don’t know how many people breathed a sigh of relief and just waited for the results to come out.

The prince and Mo Xuan quickened their pace, after all, the future of every student was involved.

So many people cheat, which is unfair to normal candidates.

The day for public review soon came, and this was the first time this had happened. It had never happened before.

In the past, there were only a few people who judged the score. These people couldn't guess, but they had to follow the instructions.

The weather was sunny, the stove was burning in the room, and the teachers sat in front of the case one by one, judging a paper, and did not even stop them from discussing with each other.

Although there are many papers, there are also many people, and it takes a whole day to review all the papers.

His Majesty looked at the scholars standing below and drank a cup of tea. "How is it? Can the top ten papers be judged?"

After discussion and comparison, the top ten papers were selected and awaited the emperor's confirmation.

"Your Majesty, a student named Shen Zhou is very knowledgeable, comparable to Mo Zhuangyuan back then. I think Shen Zhou is the best."

"I second the proposal..."

The emperor listened to the discussions one by one, and others explained the life experiences and family situations of these people.

"I ask you, apart from these, have you found any problems?"

The people below dare not speak out. What does your majesty mean? Are any of these people cheating?

They looked at it and found that the ten names were all truly talented and learned. Their articles had unique insights and good writing skills. It took them a long time to decide on these ten people.

Seeing His Majesty's displeasure, a teacher bravely stepped forward and said, "I have a question. Among the 100 papers I criticized, 15 have the same writing style and similar answers."

"I initially thought they were students handed over by the same teacher, but later I discovered that these students came from all over the world, and few of them came from the same place."

The teacher mentioned it and gave everyone a hint.

"Xiaguan, there are 8 copies here!"

"I have 12 copies here. I felt puzzled at the time and didn't think much about it."

A few identical ones can be said to be coincidences. Now that there are so many, could it be...

Those who reacted instantly broke into a cold sweat and unconsciously shut up.

"Collect all similar papers."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

There are those who are careful and put these together when reviewing, and there are also those who are in a hurry, who searched for a long time before finding them.

This shows a person's ability, especially now when he is showing his face in front of the emperor.

At this time, several officials who compiled the test questions knew that something was wrong, and came over to watch together with their weak and trembling legs.

Just after flipping through a few pages, a scholar's vision went dark and he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on!"

Others also came to their senses and said, "Your Majesty, I was wronged. I definitely did not leak the question!"

The emperor looked at the few people expressionlessly, "Even if you don't leak the questions, can you guarantee that your assistants and apprentices won't leak the questions?"

These scholars have countless disciples, and they have personally evaluated their assistants and believe in their character.

But now all the evidence points to those assistants. Could it be that they are blind?

Several people were speechless, looking at the assistant with pained eyes.

But I saw several assistants kneeling on the ground one by one. Most of them looked normal, but two were trembling slightly, with their hands lying on the ground, slightly bent unnaturally.

Which of the people present is not a human spirit? Looking at the actions of the two people, I immediately understood something.

The prince stepped forward, holding some paper in his hand.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you admit it now, I can intercede on your behalf without involving your family."

The prince's tone was calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but it was enough to scare the two of them.

The two looked at each other. They thought that they had done it covertly and there was no basis for it. They believed that as long as there was no evidence, even His Majesty could not sentence him casually.

Seeing that the two were stubborn, the prince snorted coldly and opened the paper.

"...the two of them stole the test papers a month ago and sold the first copy to Xuexi Zhao. The cashier was 10 taels...the cashier was 4 taels... taels..."

After reading out the records one by one, the two people actually made a profit of 410 taels of silver.

Chu Hou sneered, "The character of a scholar is only worth these more than four hundred taels of silver?"

There was silence in the main hall, whether it was because of shame or having nothing to say, everyone was silent.

The prince finally finished reading, put away the paper, and handed it over to his father, "Father, the evidence of these two crimes is conclusive, their crimes are unforgivable, and they are unrepentant. A total of 203 students and 5 officials were implicated. Please make a decision. "

The emperor tapped the table with a mocking look on his face. All the literati below him lowered their heads unconsciously with shame on their faces.

"You are really... my good minister."

A group of ministers quickly knelt down.

The emperor said with waning interest, "Publish all this data, the two of them will parade in the streets for half a month, and the whole family will be exiled after half a month!"

"Involving all students, scientific examinations are prohibited for six years. If students are dissatisfied, let them find them themselves!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
