After being reborn, being alone as a queen

The teaching dormitory was indeed full of people, about 30 to [-] people, all of them sat upright with righteous faces.

It's like going to the battlefield in the next second and throwing your head and blood.

But it's justifiable

As we all know, if you want to be an official, you have to take the imperial examination, but this is just the basics. If you really want to be an official, it is not just as simple as the scientific examination.

Whether it is the imperial examinations or the promotion in the officialdom, they are all progressive, extremely complicated and difficult.

There are four checkpoints in the light science examination, the children's examination, the township examination, the general examination, the palace examination...

How many people have studied hard for decades, but they can only barely stop at the children's examination. If a county can produce a scholar, it is considered a magistrate's ancestral grave, and his face is radiant.

But the most important thing in the imperial examination is the final palace examination.

Only after winning the imperial examination can one have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Academy, and the cabinet is even more elusive. Most of the cabinets are veterans with high morals, and it is a place where no matter how many people have been in the officialdom for many years, they will not be able to enter.

But this time, the emperor did not choose to choose from these two places, but took a fancy to Taixue's performance in recent years.

It is no exaggeration to say that such an opportunity is completely rare and unprecedented.

Almost everyone has the same thought in their minds at the moment - they must be firmly grasped!

As soon as the students saw the corner of Ding Jijiu's clothes dangling at the door of the teaching dormitory, they stood up spontaneously, composed deeply, and said in unison: "The students have seen Your Majesty—"

Mu Xiu sat in the first place, holding the folding fan in his hand, and said in a calm voice, "Pingshen, today's exam is about everyone's future, everyone can ignore my identity and concentrate on taking the exam."

All the students lifted their robes and sat down, and said, "Yes."

It was also at this time that everyone had the leisure to look up at the appearance of the legendary Ninth Five Lord, and they were really amazed.

People who grew up in the capital have more or less heard of the heroic appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leading the Southern Chu army back to the court when the war was won more than 20 years ago.

But counting the years, the Holy Majesty should be in his thirties now, and the state affairs are complicated, so one can imagine how tired he is.

But she never thought that time would treat this person so tenderly that she couldn't bear to leave even the slightest trace on his face.

Normally, according to the rules, one cannot look directly at Long Yan, but Mu Xiu didn't intend to pursue it, so Qin Yinghan had no choice but to pretend to be blind.

Qin Yinghan knew that the emperor never liked to talk too much, so he quickly took over the topic and said:

"These two are your chief examiners today, Mr. Minister of Rites and Mr. Yushi."

Although the gap between these two is as big as a gulf, for this group of students who have not yet successfully obtained their fame, they are already very big officials.

Xie Jin coughed: "Cough, temporarily."

Qin Yinghan hastened to make amends and said, "Your interim Minister of Rites."

Those who are well-informed know that the position of Minister of Rites has just been vacated some time ago, but they did not expect that someone was ordered by the emperor to fill it in just a few days.

Some people inevitably want to see its appearance.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, several students' faces were blank.

"Thanks.. Xie Jin..?"

Since Qin Yinghan only took office in the past two years, and he promoted these two managers later, no one present knew Xie Jin.

"Brother Zijian! It's really you!"

Xie Jin heard Yang Zihuo mention the "glorious deeds" of domineering and domineering children from poor families in the Imperial College, so he knocked on the head with the folding fan that he didn't know when he got into his hand, and said: "Isn't it me! "

Hearing that he really admitted it, everyone couldn't help but feel that this world is even more illusory. Once in the Imperial College, they couldn't even tell who belonged to the Four Books and Five Classics, but now they have suddenly become the Minister of Rites?

Are they crazy or is the world crazy?

Above the previous dynasty, the emperor valued the six parts the most, and he is also today's chief examiner

Some people can't help but want to make friends overtly and secretly, with flattering lights in their eyes, full of hints: "Brother Zijian? Do you remember us? We used to be classmates!"

It was good if he didn't ask this question, but once he asked, Xie Jin would become the target of public criticism.

Mu Xiu frowned slightly, thinking whether to rescue him

Suddenly Xie Jin smiled, in Mu Xiu's words, the smile was very fake.

Xie Jin unfolded and retracted the folding fan in his hand, with a beautiful posture, without delay, pointing to those who spoke: "Anyway, they are also classmates, I will naturally remember, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Erma...Wang Wu! Really don't It’s great to see you all.”

Isn't this really another way of mocking?

"Pfft..." Duan Nan couldn't hold back, and covered his lips and laughed.

Several students felt that they had been humiliated, and blushed, because the emperor was present, so it was difficult to speak rudely.

One person said angrily: "You...you humiliated us!"

Xie Jin shrugged and spread his hands: "Brother Zhang, why did you say that? I don't have any."

Another person gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "His surname is not Zhang! I'm not surnamed Li either!"

The two people in front both stood up, and the third person couldn't continue to sit as firmly as Mount Tai.

I can only stand up and say in a debating tone: "Although my surname is Wang, I am not called Wang Wu."

Xie Jin pretended to be surprised, and sighed: "So that's the case, but I'm confused. You don't know. I had a high fever a few years ago and burned my brain. Many people can't remember clearly. They still call me Daddy at home." Call me grandfather!"

Duan Nan took a sip of tea

Qin Yinghan hurriedly said: "Is it still hot? Why did you drink it just now?"

"nothing."

Duan Nan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and the burning was second to none. The main reason was that Song Liyuan was talking nonsense and didn't write drafts.

If this word reaches the ears of an old man like Xie Rongshan, he will still die of anger.

Several students choked and looked at each other, but couldn't say anything.

Mu Xiu's voice sounded faintly at this time, as calm as if he was talking about today's weather, but exuded the calm prestige of being in a high position all year round

"Okay, don't bring up topics that have nothing to do with the exam."

Xie Jin looked back, and saw Mu Xiu staring at him, clenched his hands into fists by his lips, covering up the smile that could not be restrained in the future.

Now that they couldn't win them over, they could only choose another way to find a way to get the emperor to cancel Xie Jin's position as chief examiner.

After all, through the episode just now, no matter whether he was unintentional or intentional, for some people, he has become a restless factor.

The opportunity for them to participate in this hall test today was obtained through untold hardships. If they fell into the hands of such a dude...

Then, someone bravely stood up and said: "Your Majesty, why did you let Brother Xie... be our chief examiner, isn't that just a joke?"

Although he didn't finish the word dandy, whoever was present didn't understand, he just wanted to remind the emperor of Xie Jin's 'good reputation' spread outside.

Mu Xiu looked at the student with a blank expression on his face, but only the student knew that his legs under the table were shaking uncontrollably.

"Are you questioning me?"

This problem is serious

Almost at the same time, Qin Yinghan, Duan Nan, the two Si Ye and Xie Jin all looked at him.

The student was so frightened that he stuttered, "No, no, the student dare not, the student just, just wants to ask why"

Mu Xiu said: "Because he is better than everyone here."

Full house uproar

What are you kidding?One idiot is stronger than all of them?

Duan Nan stood up, smiling but said beyond doubt: "Then, let's start the exam."

The two managers resigned, and there were only four people left in the entire teaching dormitory.

Qin Yinghan stayed here entirely to serve the emperor, and the two chief examiners Xie Jin and Duan Nan were mainly in charge of today's exam.

At first it was a roll call, and then Qin Yinghan took out a stack of folded rice paper, opened it and handed it out one by one.

These rice papers are written by Mu Xiu overnight, one by one, and the students have to write long essays based on the essays on the paper, no less than [-] words.

Xie Jin looked at Mu Xiu, his face was a little tired, and his eyes were slightly black and blue.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see it, but Xie Jin can see it very clearly at a glance.

He also knew that it was not only because he didn't sleep until almost dawn, but also because of his strange illness.

Duan Nan sat by the window, admiring the phoenix flowers outside the courtyard, and at the same time glanced at the students in the teaching dormitory who were frowning like earthworms.

Xie Jin leaned against the door and glanced at the test questions on the rice paper

[The world situation is changing day by day, and talents are needed for everything. If you are the emperor, the imperial power is in other hands, and the power is in the hands of the government and the opposition. It is in danger, so what? 】

[Foreign policy, often in the name of preserving the land, and gaining benefits, citing the history of the past century to prove its policy. 】

.....

The student who was answering the question was so frightened that the writing brush in his hand was trembling, so Xie Jin simply glanced at it a few times before leaning back.

A pair of peach blossom eyes showed a thoughtful look, obviously he already had the answer in his heart.

And the examinees present couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted such a person to be the chief examiner of such an important exam.

until...

"Hey, I said, don't cheat. It's not okay to hide it in the sleeve of a shoe, let alone hide it in a hair crown. Even if you hide it in your underwear, it's still not okay."

Xie Jin's folding fan slapped on the back of a student's hand covering his head

The student almost didn't pee in fear on the spot, but he didn't reach in to grab it, so he simply took it off and said, "Why are you slandering people so casually, I just rubbed my head with a headache."

Xie Jin squinted at him and said with a smile, "Really?"

The student spread out his palms, filled with righteous indignation: "Otherwise? Do you see that I have it in my hand? In front of the emperor, don't think that you can slander people casually now that you are an official servant!"

Just as Duan Nan was about to stand up to help him out, Xie Jin stretched out a hand and pressed it down, as if there were several pairs of eyes on the top of his head.

"..."

Duan Nan had no choice but to sit back.

Xie Jin didn't argue with him, and stretched out his hand to pull off his hair crown.

That student panicked, but the other students couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up and said angrily, "What are you doing! Master Jijiu! Can you bully people like this as the chief examiner!"

Qin Yinghan doesn't understand what Xie Jin wants to do

But his official position is not as high as Xie Jin's current official position, he can't compare with any of the six ministers, what can he do?

He could only look at Mu Xiu, wanting a solution, but saw that Mu Xiu had no intention of stopping him.

He just sat lazily on the chair, with his elbows on the handle, and with the other hand he repeatedly played with a piece of jade with light purple tassels, his eyes seemed to see through everything.

Sure enough, the situation immediately reversed.

There was a note hidden in the hair crown, and on the note was densely copied "On History" in very small characters.

Xie Jin opened the note and held it up: "If this can also be called slander, you don't want to take this test today! You don't know right from wrong! How can you serve the country in the future, and how can you share the worries of His Majesty? Don't you want to slip the world? What a joke?"

Duan Nan looked at him and smiled faintly.

Song Liyuan finally came back.

A group of students were blushing from being scolded, but they were speechless to refute.

The student with the cheat sheet in the hair crown was even more ashen-faced, cheating in front of the emperor. Although it was an imperial examination, it was not considered a real imperial examination, but...

Mu Xiu looked at him coldly, and the student looked as if he was about to bleed, so he quickly lowered his head.

"Repeal his admission qualifications for examinations, and he will not be allowed to take any examinations for life, and Taixue will not accept him for admission."

The student fell to the ground, knocked over the inkstone, and all the poor quality clothes he had bought for a long time were stained by ink splashes. He knelt down and kowtowed in extreme embarrassment: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! The grass people will never dare again! Your Majesty!"

Qin Yinghan was taken aback for a moment: "Your Majesty...he is from a poor family, this punishment is too much..."

A child from a poor family has only one way out in this life, and that is to take the imperial examination.

Now that he has no qualifications to take the exam and is expelled from the Taixue, for this poor student, it is tantamount to a disaster.

Mu Xiu's eyebrows turned cold. As a sacrificial wine, it was a big mistake not to understand the most basic stakes.

Duan Nan interjected: "Qin Jijiu's words are wrong. Since he is a child from a poor family and has gone through untold hardships to enter the Imperial Academy, he should cherish the hard-won things. Now he is lucky. All of us Taixue are people who try to catch fame and fame, so who else can share His Majesty's worries in the future?"

Xie Jin also intentionally made a relief and said: "I heard that Qin Jijiu was valued by His Majesty back then, but he was promoted to the second place in the ranking, tied for first place with the number one scholar in the imperial examination back then. You should understand the stakes of this better than anyone else, right?"

Qin Yinghan also came to his senses, and immediately knelt down and said: "The lower officials are confused, Your Majesty forgive me."

Mu Xiu withdrew his gaze and didn't say a word, he was still disappointed after all.

The student was taken away, and the exam continued, and then several second-generation ancestors who stuffed money in their homes and seemed to have excellent grades on weekdays who were unlearned and incompetent were arrested one after another.

Only Mu Xiu was present and knew that when Song Huaian was studying with the Taifu together, even though his father was sitting in front of him, he still showed endless tricks, and he even deceived his father several times.

All the cheating tricks here were played badly by Song Huai'an before.

Not only did he feel this way, but Xie Jin also felt the same way, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

At sunset, the test finally came to an end.
