President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

Li Tan's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief: "Cheating? How did you know?"

Fraud is a very serious accident in all dynasties. Once it is discovered, it may cause a major earthquake in the officialdom from top to bottom.

The only thing that is different is that the current system is in a mode of inheriting the past and linking up the future, and the election is parallel to the imperial examination.

The election that Yao Wei mentioned just now is a selection system, which selects capable people from among the noble children who are suitable to be officials and those who have fame but do not intend to participate in the autumn.

Seeing that Li Tan didn't believe it, Yao Wei was quite aggrieved: "We didn't believe it at first, but the official Buquan selected the list. Do you know who is the first? It's actually Zhang Xi! Does this mean there is no fraud?"

Zhang Xun?After thinking about it for a while, Li Tan felt a little bad all over.

This person is a scumbag among the many students of Guozixue. There are many students of Guozixue who are ignorant and incompetent, but no matter how ignorant they are, they still have a little cultural background. , You can also learn something by being subtle.

However, Zhang Xi is that wonderful thing, he is not much better than an illiterate, it is said that he still disliked the difficulty of writing his name at the beginning.

Such a person who is the bottom one in Guozixue ran to participate in the election, and everyone knew that he was cheating after passing.

In fact, if Zhang Xi is the last one in the election, maybe everyone just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. Who made his father Zhang Yi?

Zhang Yi is now Yushi Zhongcheng, and also a courtier who is very favored by Li Longji.

In the end, it was because Zhang Yi was favored that the officials dared to blatantly rank Zhang Xi first, right?

It's a pity that this has stabbed a hornet's nest all at once. The selection of officials is based on rankings. This is a major matter related to the future.

What's more, there are many children of high-ranking officials and nobles who participate in the election every time. Zhang Shi's father is powerful, and who else is better than him?

Li Tan was also a little angry after hearing this: "How do the officials do things?"

Yao Wei seemed to have found a backer in an instant, and he was very confident, and immediately said: "Yes, the officials are cheating this time, how can this kind of thing be tolerated? Now the students of the Imperial College are planning to jointly sign a letter, Your Highness..."

Zhu Xieli couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to pull Li Tan to his side, and said with a cold face: "This is your business, what does it have to do with Ah Tian?"

Yao Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He thought for a while before turning around. Li Tan had a character, and his character was Tian He.

However, he still felt a little weird when he heard Zhu Xieli calling Li Tan so intimately, but the master didn't care, and he didn't seem to have any position to say.

He has 1 reasons to refute Zhu Xieli's words. After all, Li Tan now has a serious official position, so he can naturally express his opinions on this matter, and he can even go to the board!

And Li Tan can face the saint every day, is this the treatment that everyone has?

This is the person who is the closest to the saint among the people their Guozixue students know. After finally seeing him, who else can they look for?

But Yao Wei didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that Zhu Xieli would think they were using Li Tan, after all this matter had nothing to do with Li Tan.

Yao Wei glanced at Li Tan and at Zhu Xieli aggrievedly, Zhu Xieli's face turned black, and he felt that Yao Wei's eyes were full of evil intentions, and his hands were already on the saber at his waist. ——Well, others can't wear a sword when they enter Guozixue, but he can, who makes them a minority?

We must respect national beliefs and customs.

Li Tan and Zhu Xieli have known each other for so long, and basically found out that the other party was not in a good mood immediately, so he quickly stopped him and said: "Wait, wait... I must take care of this matter. If it is too big, it will lose the face of the court, and it would be good if it can be pressed down before the incident escalates."

After he finished saying this, he saw that Zhu Xieli was still depressed. At this moment, he thought that Zhu Xieli probably wanted to tell him something just now.

Maybe I want to confide in my heart. After all, there are some worries that have been stuffed in my heart, and it is hard to not have anyone to confide in.

Li Tan was quite regretful when he thought about it, and finally had the opportunity to listen to Zhu Xieli's thoughts, but the matter of cheating is really serious.

He could listen to it first, and then see how far it has gone. After all, there will be no results in the fraud case for a while.

But listening to other people's thoughts requires 100% immersion and patience, and you need to use your brain to comfort the other person when they need it. It is not suitable for urgent matters.

He had no choice but to pat Zhu Xieli on the shoulder and said: "Let's wait for your matter, let's talk about it one day, and now go to Wang Jijiu to have a look, and don't let them make a big incident."

Zhu Xieli can be angry with Yao Sanitary, and can give others a cold face, but he can't object to Li Tan's opinion, even if he knows that he has lost this opportunity, he may not have the courage to speak out.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go with you, sometimes the top students are unreasonable."

Li Tan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Yao Wei and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Yao Wei on the side stared straight at him. When he let Li Tan go, Zhu Xieli's expression seemed to be eating people.

Now that Li Tan said he was going, he changed his face in a second, how gentle and gentle he looked, he didn't look like a person!

Yao Wei was also very wronged in his heart. When the students of Guozixue targeted Zhu Xieli before, one of his cousins ​​passed away. He was not in Guozixue during that time, so why did he start to hate him?

Li Tan and Zhu Xieli didn't want to care about his mood, and the group quickly walked towards Wang Jijiu's room.

When they arrived at the duty room, many students had already surrounded Wang Jijiu's door, and the students who were supposed to help maintain order also joined the team.

Fortunately, these students are all scholars after all, and they are relatively qualified. They didn't smash and grab a dragon, but just sat silently at the door of the duty room with a futon, and just sat there to demonstrate.

To be honest, these students sat there staring at the door of the duty room with bitter and hatred faces, which made Li Tan tremble with fear.

I always feel that these people either died in silence or broke out in silence.

However, if you think about the identities of some people in it, you know that these people probably have only one option to explode, especially when he also saw Donggong Erlang Li Dan inside.

The moment he saw Li Dan, Li Tan was a little speechless. You, the son of a prince, have almost zero chance of being elected in the future, so what are you doing to join in the fun?

Or did you follow here just to fit in with the group?But do you know how easy it is for the prince to cause trouble?

For a while, Li Tan actually felt a little sympathetic to the prince. After all, there are a lot of people who are against him in the court. It is hard to tell whether the people around him are god teammates or pig teammates. His own son may be behind. This is really unprecedented. After the wolf comes the tiger.

However, Li Tan could only sigh in his heart, it was impossible for him to communicate with Li Dan in the past, so he just glanced at Li Dan and continued to move forward.

Because it was too quiet here, the movement of Li Tan and the others still attracted the attention of many people.

As soon as Li Dan turned his head and saw Li Tan, he felt a little complicated for a while, especially when he saw that the other party was wearing the prince's uniform.

When he thought of the trouble he had made with Li Tan before following Zhang Liangdi's words, he was a little afraid, afraid that Li Tan would settle accounts with him.

However, when Li Tan just glanced at him and walked over, he felt like he was a clown, and the other party didn't care about his actions at all.

For a moment, he was a little bit upset and relieved.

Among the students sitting here, many mathematics students are more familiar with Li Tan, and they couldn't help being very excited when they saw Li Tan coming.

Li Tan made a silent gesture to them, and then said: "You guys wait, I'll go and ask the king about the situation of Jijiu, and I'll talk about it later."

When those students saw that there was finally a representative who could speak, they immediately felt relieved.

There's no way, Wang Jijiu doesn't see them, and they can't do a simple and rude way of breaking the door, which is against the way of a gentleman, not to mention that unless they don't want to study in the Imperial College, no one will do such a brainless matter.

However, without seeing the top leaders, they can only sit in and protest at most. Who knows when it will last?

Li Tan walked over and looked at the closed door, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and pushed it open.

At this time, Wang Jijiu was discussing with the doctors how to deal with it. When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, his expression darkened and he said, "Who is so rude?"

Li Tan walked in slowly and said, "Me."

Originally, those doctors were also unhappy, and some of them even guessed who led the students in a darker state of mind, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a stumbling block.

However, the moment they saw Li Tan's face clearly, everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Wang Jijiu was stunned for a moment, so he had no choice but to stand up and salute and said, "I have seen His Highness King Ning."

Wang Jijiu made a salute, and the other doctors followed suit one after another.

Li Tan came over and said, "Since everyone is here, do you have a plan?"

Wang Jijiu was a little helpless: "My lord, what can I do? I can only find a way to let the students disperse first."

Li Tan frowned: "Shouldn't such an important matter be reported?"

Wang Jijiu smiled wryly: "There is no evidence for this matter at all. Everyone just said that Zhang Xi didn't have that talent, but what if he got the hang of it? Who can prove that this is fraud?"

Li Tan looked at him like a fool: "Suddenly enlightened, he changed from a person who couldn't memorize the Four Books and Five Classics to the first in the general election? I want to try how enlightened I am."

Wang Jijiu coughed lightly. Of course they knew that this matter must be tricky, but they didn't dare to stand out.

If this matter is true, then it means that the entire official department has taken refuge in Zhang Yi. Taking ten thousand steps back, it is because the official department wants to curry favor with Zhang Yi. Even the official department is like this. Might actually hit it head on.

Wang Jijiu had no choice but to sigh and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not under the supervision of the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy has no position."

After he said this, before Li Tan could speak, Dr. Qiu stood up and said with a serious face: "I am a scholar, and I should act righteously. Now that such injustice happens in front of me, what else is there?" Face claiming to be a disciple of Confucius? If you don’t care, then I will!”

After Dr. Qiu finished speaking, Wang Jijiu's face turned green, but what he didn't expect was that not only Dr. Qiu made such a choice, but also Dr. Chen stood up and said: "The children I teach are all excellent, I don't want their future to be ruined in the future because of today's silence, for these students, I have to go."

After Dr. Chen finished speaking, several doctors stood up one after another.

Wang Jijiu didn't expect that before the matter was resolved, someone here would openly oppose it. This was the rhythm of denying him as a boss every minute.

Wang Jijiu was so angry: "You are ruining yourself, ruining the Imperial College!"

Dr. Qiu said proudly: "The Imperial College will not be ruined. If such absurd things happen today, the Imperial College will be ruined!"

Dr. Chen glanced at Li Tan and said, "The offering of wine has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Ning, but even His Highness stood up, but you still shrank back. Are you worthy of this red robe?"

Wang Jijiu said angrily: "One day and one night, I was devoting all my energy and energy to the Imperial Academy to live a stable life and to create a place for students to study in peace. How can I be sorry for this red robe?"

Dr. Qiu and others didn't intend to argue with Wang Jijiu any more, and turned around and planned to leave the room.

Li Tan stepped forward to stop Dr. Qiu and the others and said, "Dr., please stay."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Jijiu and said silently for a while, "You are right, and they are also right, but you are an official, and they are teaching and educating people by example."

Wang Jijiu was stunned for a moment, and after savoring Li Tan's words carefully, he finally sighed: "You are right, I am an official."

Being an official requires weighing pros and cons, step by step, and caution, but Dr. Qiu and others think very simple. They demand themselves with the principle of a gentleman everywhere, strive for perfection, and set a good example for their students.

This is the difference between Wang Jijiu and these doctors.

Seeing that Wang Jijiu was sitting there and stopped talking, Li Tan just sighed, and said, "Everyone, don't argue, I just came here to see the attitude of the Imperial College, if the Imperial College also thinks something is wrong, then I will enter As for whether you can go to Datian to listen, and what will happen after going to Datian to listen, I can't predict it, and please be mentally prepared."

Dr. Qiu immediately said: "No, how can this matter make you stand out?"

Li Tan smiled slightly: "Why can't I get ahead in this matter? The person who was wronged inside the door is my tutor, and the one who is wronged outside the door is my classmate and friend. If I don't get ahead at this time, then this I'm afraid I won't be able to get ahead in my life."

Dr. Qiu opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Oh, why is this, why is this."

Others were also concerned. For a while, some people were slightly dissatisfied with Li Longji. If he hadn't wantonly favored the courtiers and given them great rights, how could such a thing happen?

However, no one dared to say this sentence, even if they thought about it in their hearts, they were worried that they would be discovered by those favorite ministers.

As for the matter of Li Tan being favored, they didn't think that the grandfather doted on... oh, it's the father doting on the son, is there any problem with that?

What's more, Li Longji didn't do anything annoying just because he loved Li Tan.

After comforting Dr. Qiu and the others, Li Tan turned his head and nodded to Wang Jijiu: "I'm going. If you are worried, you can report illness and go home."

Wang Jijiu stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Since Your Highness is not afraid, why should I be afraid? The worst thing is not to do this sacrificial wine. I will go to the Ministry of Officials with Your Highness to find out!"

Li Tan hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's not appropriate to alert the officials first about this matter. It would be bad to make them take precautions if they startled the snake. What's more, I told the sage in private that no matter what the final result is, it is appropriate to advance or retreat. Everyone wait for a while." good news."

Wang Jijiu and the others thought about it for the same reason, and said, "That's it, Your Highness."

Li Tan smiled and walked out, leaving only a thin but tall figure of these people.

As soon as he left, Zhu Xieli naturally followed.

Until this time, no one noticed the elder son of the Shatuo clan who had been standing aside with restrained breath.

Only then did Wang Jijiu understand why King Ning, who didn't need to come to the Imperial College to study at all, suddenly ran over, presumably it was the prince who invited him.

After all, after the last battle, both masters and students in the Imperial College knew that Li Tan had a good relationship with Zhu Xieli.

However, even if he knew that it was Zhu Xieli who invited him, Wang Jijiu could do nothing about it. Zhu Xieli was the one he couldn't touch, and even if Zhang Yi knew about it, he probably wouldn't look for Zhu Xieli's bad luck, even on the surface. I also want to praise Zhu Xie for raising a good son with backbone.

Yao Wei, who was standing at the door and didn't dare to go in, got rid of a pot for no reason, but he didn't know it. He was standing at the door anxiously waiting for news from Li Tan.

After a while, Li Tan came out. When he saw Li Tan coming out alone, without any doctor behind him, let alone offering wine, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed for a while.

He went up to him and asked, "What's the matter? Jijiu still thinks we're messing around?"

Li Tan said in a low voice: "Jijiu and the doctors know it well, but the Guozijian's position on this matter is a bit delicate. After all, it is not under the supervision of the Guozi, and it is not easy to directly question the officials, so Jijiu and the doctors also find it very difficult. "

Yao Wei was refreshed after hearing this. They were not afraid that things would be difficult, but they were afraid that their teachers might not understand their thoughts.

As long as they have the support of their teachers, they are not afraid of anything!

Yao Wei said directly: "Let Jijiu and the doctors not have to worry, we will go to the Ministry of Officials to ask for an explanation, if we can't get an explanation, then we will go to sit in front of the Danfeng Gate, I don't believe we won't get justice!"

Li Tan looked at him, and felt that this silly boy was innocent and cute. If he did what he said, in the end, it would only be students like them who were tired of demonstrating, and those who were actually involved would not be affected at all.

It is even possible that they were evacuated before reaching Danfeng Gate. If you are lucky, the Jinwu Guards will be more polite. If you are unlucky, there may be casualties.

After all, not all the students in the Imperial College are descendants of high-ranking officials and aristocrats. There are also many from commoner families, but they are very talented in learning.

Li Tan pressed his shoulder and said: "Don't get excited, they haven't discussed a better plan for the sacrifice of wine. After all, if you go directly to the official department, the official department is prepared, and you will not get any evidence at that time." what to do?"

Yao Wei was a little curious: "What evidence is needed? Zhang Xi himself is the evidence! If other people really don't believe it, just take the test. Anyway, other people can pass the test. Only he...will probably be rejected. "

When Li Tan thought that this was indeed the case, he said: "It is best to let the sage know about this matter. It is too arrogant for someone to use a public weapon for private use and use the country's most important weapon to please others. If this matter cannot be let the sage If you know, I am afraid that the saint will never think that someone will do this."

Yao Wei was a little worried: "This... is it really possible? Will it affect His Highness?"

Li Tan shook his head: "It won't be a big problem, but you, I'm afraid you will have to work hard. I will tell the saint, and the saint will definitely send someone to verify. Only when you find out that everyone is sitting in meditation, can you understand the seriousness of the matter."

Yao Wei said immediately after hearing this: "Just sit, it's simple, where can you sit? Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely not hold you back."

Li Tan was a bit dumbfounded: "Well, since that's the case, I'm leaving."

Seeing that the students of the Imperial College had been stabilized, Li Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to stop him, but suddenly remembered that Li Chu was still working in the official department.

He didn't know if this incident had anything to do with Li Chu, or if Li Chu acquiesced in this kind of thing, but if it really made a big fuss, Li Chu might not get well.

It's better to be steady, it's really cheap for the officials of the Ministry of Officials to eat vegetarian meals!

He turned his head to look at Zhu Xieli, who took the initiative to say, "I'll wait for you here."

Li Tan felt quite embarrassed and said: "I will come to you in the evening when you are out of class, and then we will have a good talk. It just so happens that I still have good wine there."

Zhu Xieli smiled wryly in his heart, but on the surface he said: "Just drink, it's not good for your health."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be too angry, Li Tan finally calmed down and said: "Well, let's talk about it then, I will enter the palace first."

Zhu Xieli responded, "Okay."

After Li Tan left, Yao Wei took several steps back when he saw Zhu Xieli's expressionless face.

Zhu Xieli gave him a cold look, turned around and went back to Guozixue's classroom.

He doesn't need to go to a sit-in to protest. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him. Although he will definitely have a position in the future, his position should be a false title. His main job is to assist Datang in managing his tribal children. civil.

So he wouldn't have too much emotional fluctuation when he heard this matter, and among his classmates, there wasn't even one who could mobilize his emotions, and he didn't seem to have thought about integrating into this group.

In the past, although he was indifferent, he still had Li Tan, and now Li Tan has also left Guozixue.

If he was really indignant when he heard about it like everyone else, and also sat in to protest like other students, people would only think that he might have some purpose to get here.

It's just that when Zhu Xieli sat alone in an empty classroom, some self-doubt inevitably arose.

He couldn't help but took out the sachet, and after calming down, he was suddenly grateful for Yao Wei's appearance.

Otherwise, he might have done something irreversible on the spur of the moment.

Now that I think about it carefully, if Li Tan really understands what he wants, no matter whether he refuses or accepts it, it is impossible to come here to ask directly, after all, there were so many classmates present at that time.

Thinking of this, while Zhu Xieli was relieved, he also felt a little regretful.

The person who was regretted is now being discovered by Li Longji because he played a few wrong notes.

Li Longji was obviously very puzzled: "Why is 31 Lang absent-minded today?"

Li Tan immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but did not say why.

Concubine Yang Gui, on the other hand, was always considerate, and said, "But what difficulties have you encountered? Come and tell Mom and Dad, we will make decisions for you."

Li Tan silently gave Concubine Yang a thumbs-up in his heart, it doesn't feel good to have someone help blow the pillow at such a critical moment!

Li Longji also nodded and replied: "Exactly, what happened?"

Li Tan hesitated and said: "It's nothing, I just have some doubts about Quanxuan."

Concubine Yang originally wanted to help, after all, Li Tan's troubles are basically equal to her troubles now, but she decided to shut up when she heard the word Quanxuan - she is not smart in other ways, but there is a bottom line To keep it is to refrain from politics.

After all, having experienced the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Longji was very wary of the harem meddling in politics.

Li Longji was a little surprised when he heard this: "What happened to Quanxuan?"

Li Tan raised his head with just the right amount of confusion on his face: "Quanxuan is to select talents for the country, shouldn't it be to select people who write well or are good at officialdom?"

Li Longji was also a little strange: "Naturally, why do you ask this?"

Li Tan directly called the names: "But this time, the selection of the top of the list is not enough. When the list was published, the Guozijian group was full of discussion. I don't know what the standard of the official department is now."

Li Longji frowned immediately after hearing this: "There is such a ridiculous thing?"

Li Longji still trusted Li Tan, but he didn't listen to Li Tan's one-sided words. Instead, he called Gao Lishi to the Imperial College to see the situation.

After listening to Li Longji's instructions, Gao Lishi couldn't help but glanced at Li Tan, and then exchanged a knowing look with Li Tan.

Li Tan immediately understood that Gao Lishi actually knew about this matter, but he didn't know whether it was because of his position or something else, so he didn't tell Li Longji.

After Gao Lishi left, Li Longji continued to ask Li Tan about Quanxuan.

Li Tan grasped the scale, did not take the opportunity to black Zhang Shi, and said what he said was worthless, but he tried his best to seek truth from facts. In any case, it sounded non-biased, as if he really knew such news, so he was a little confused.

Between the question and answer, Gao Lishi came back quickly and brought the king's sacrificial wine.

As soon as Li Tan saw Wang Jijiu coming, he knew that things were stable.

And Wang Jijiu was also very shocked. They knew that Li Tan would talk about it when he entered the palace, but they knew how much Li Longji loved Zhang Yi, so they didn't have any hope before.

I really didn't expect Li Tan to be so efficient, and Gao Lishi actually came to check it himself.

Li Longji was a little surprised when he saw Gao Lishi bring Wang Jijiu. Gao Lishi immediately said: "Reporting to the saint, when I arrived at the Guozijian, the students of the Guozijian were sitting quietly in front of the door of the Jijiu. Wang Jijiu brought the face saint together."

Li Longji was an experienced emperor, and when he heard the students from the Imperial Academy sitting in meditation there, he knew that something must have happened, so he couldn't help but ask seriously, "Wang Xuan, what happened?"

Li Tan stood aside very ashamed, until now he did not know the name of Wang Jijiu.

After hearing this, Wang Jijiu immediately knelt down to plead guilty, and then said that the students were dissatisfied with the results of the election.

Upon hearing this, Li Longji simply said, "Where's Li Linfu? Let him come over!"

When Li Tan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, why did he have something to do with Li Linfu again?

At this moment, Wang Jijiu also got up and stood beside Li Tan, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry, this matter has nothing to do with Li Tan."

Li Tan turned his head to look at him, Wang Jijiu peeked at it and said in a low voice, "Li Xiang handed over all the affairs of the official department to Song Yao and Miao Jinqing, the servants, and they are also the ones presiding over the election this time."

So Li Tan instantly understood that the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials was Li Linfu's part-time job.

Li Linfu came very quickly, no matter how arrogant and domineering he was in front of other officials, he always remembered whose thigh he needed to hug, so he was modest and cautious when facing Li Longji.

Although Wang Jijiu said that this matter had little to do with Li Linfu, the first time Li Linfu heard about it was to plead guilty. Of course, the charge was that he should not have left such an important matter to the two servants.

Of course Li Longji doesn't care about these things. After all, Li Linfu has many part-time jobs and naturally has a lot to do.

Immediately afterwards, Li Linfu said: "I really don't know what the grades of the admitted students are. Since so many students are dissatisfied, the sage might as well let the officials take another exam."

Li Tan saw that Li Longji wanted to agree. Just as he was about to speak, Gao Lishi said, "Same examiner, same examinee, same location, the only difference is the topic. I feel that the result may still be the same in the end." .”

Upon hearing this, Li Longji simply said: "Show them to take the exam!"

So Li Tan, who hadn't spoken yet, stepped back.

It's just that it is not suitable for the Xuanren examination to be in the Penglai Hall, so a group of people moved to the Zichen Hall again.

When Song Yao and Miao Jinqing, servants of the Ministry of Officials, came, their faces were obviously nervous, but what was surprising was that Yu Shi Zhongcheng Zhang Yi also followed.

Of course, in his words: "As the censor Zhongcheng, it is negligence of duty to fail to inform the saint when encountering such injustices, but because there is no clear result yet, so I boldly came to observe."

Although the words were high-sounding, Li Tan felt that he came here just to put pressure on the two servants of the official department.

It's just that after those first-class students stood in the hall tremblingly, Li Tan only felt that his eyes were darkened. One of these people counted as one, and all of them were related households. The few with the worst grades in Guozixue were all here up.

Is this selection poisonous?Are the officials crazy?Even if it is to set off Zhang Xi, it can't be like this.

However, what is even more tragic is that even if all the people selected by the Ministry of Officials this time are not very good, Zhang Xi is still the worst one among them, not one of them.

Song Yao and Miao Jinqing already knew that this matter could not be done well, so they had to choose between bullying the emperor and offending Zhang Yi, but anyone with a brain would know which one to choose.

So the two quickly worked out the test questions, and then presented them to Li Longji.

Li Longji was not particularly satisfied after reading it. He felt that doing these questions was a bit too simple, but when he thought that these students were not very big, he reluctantly agreed.

So the selected students experienced the atmosphere of the imperial examination, each of them was nervous, and they couldn't even understand the questions they would have, let alone a person like Zhang Xi who knew nothing at all.

In the end, only two of these students completed all the answers, and most of the rest only answered half of the answers.

As for Zhang Xi... sorry, he handed in a blank paper.

When Li Tan saw it, he almost laughed out loud. He glanced at Zhang Yi's face, and found that Zhang Yi's face was also dark, while Zhang Shi stood aside with his face flushed.

Li Longji couldn't believe the result, he slapped the papers on the imperial case and said, "This is the person you selected?"

Song Yao and Miao Jinqing knelt down to plead guilty, and Wang Jijiu said: "Sage, these students are nervous, and naturally they can't perform well in answering the questions, which is normal, but... Zhang Shi, who is at the top of the list, doesn't have a single word." If you come up with the answer, I’m afraid you really have no ink in your stomach.”

Zhang Yi's face turned darker after hearing this, and Wang Jijiu almost pointed to his nose and said that your son is too stupid, he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't deserve to be the top of the list.

Although he knew this was the case, how could Zhang Yi admit it in front of so many people?

He said sadly: "So many students have answered like this, Wang Jijiu can say that they have no ink in their stomachs, but these students who have no ink in their bellies are already the best in the Imperial College, so you can imagine the level of other students , I would like to ask Wang Jijiu, how does the Imperial College teach now, and why do these heaven's favorites teach like this?"

Li Tan just felt that it was an eye-opener, the censor is not ordinary, these few words brought the whole Guozijian into trouble.

Wang Jijiu's face flushed with anger, but he still kept his sense and said coldly: "The students of Zijian in our country are the leaders of the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that Zhang Yushi wants to accuse all the students of being ignorant?"

Li Tan was a little anxious listening, Wang Jijiu may have been too long to speak up, and his coping ability is not good enough.

Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said to Li Longji: "I suspect that the doctors of the Guozijian have made mistakes in teaching, and I ask the sage to investigate thoroughly."

He was smart, he never said that the doctors of Guozijian were not knowledgeable enough, he just said that they couldn't teach.

Li Tan couldn't help but said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone's eyes shifted to Li Tan in an instant, Zhang Yi also frowned, wondering how this King Ning, who had been serving as the background board, suddenly stood up.

Li Tan came out and said, "When Zhang Yushi saw the questions answered by these students, he completely denied the students of the Guozijian. As a minister of the court and a censor, he can't say things like this without evidence, right?"

Zhang Yi held his head high and said: "I am Yushi Zhongcheng, so I naturally have to report the injustice to the heavens, not to mention that so many students are evidence, how come there is no evidence?"

Li Tan nodded and said: "Okay, there is no need to check this way. I am a student of Guozixue. Today I will come to answer the questions with you students. My grades are not good, and I am not above average in Guozixue. Today It is also time for the sage and you to see the true strength of the students of Guozixue who study hard."

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Tan to say that, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

Just as he was thinking, Li Tan even added: "Oh, by the way, our class hasn't started lectures on current affairs, so it's better to test the basic knowledge first."

Zhang Xi on the side couldn't help asking: "What if you can't answer?"

Li Tan looked at him coldly: "I will take the position of prince as a balance. If I can't answer, I will ask you to step down. If you can't answer, you...all the students here will not be able to serve as officials for the rest of their lives. How about it? Bet?"
