"What is there to discuss? Those of you who are incapable are naturally worried. Young Marquis Gu, I am a talented person, so I disdain to take the imperial examination with you again in the same hall examination. I have decided to rely on my title to enter the court. This examination and I do not have the least bit of relationship!"
When the Great Jing dynasty established the country, he gave grace to the world. Once decreed that all the descendants of the princes and lords could enter the official positions by virtue of their titles.
Gu Qishan bobbed his head in a self-satisfied manner and spoke meanly. His inverted triangular eyes survey the crowd upstairs with smugness.
He is the young master of the Zhongyi Hou's Mansion. And these poor scholars were born to be the difference between the clouds and mud.
If Wu Yue hadn't vowed to let him win the three yuan in this examination, he wouldn't have gotten involved just to save face in front of the old man ... but thought that Wu Yue wouldn't have had the guts to get him involved!
[ The phrase "winning three consecutive exams" is used to describe a situation in the ancient imperial examinations, in which a candidate took the first place in three examinations, namely the countryside examination, the session examination and the palace examination, and was awarded the title of "Jieyuan", "Huiyuan" and "Zhuyuan" in succession.]
Since ancient times, the scholars should not be easily humiliated. Upstairs, the scholars were all disgraced by Gu Qi Shan. Some of them were so angry that they rushed downstairs to argue. Although they were held back by their fellow scholars, they were about to start a full-blown fight.
Inside the second floor pavilion, the dispute was so loud. Wen Shuo leaned over the edge of the window to watch the excitement, knocking on a melon nut and reminding the prince, who was sitting as steady as a mountain,
"Your Highness, are you really going to let them go on like this, when these are all the candidates for the examinations?"
"How can you govern the country and serve the people if you are fighting over such a trivial matter?" Han Yue took a sip of tea and said indifferently.
Wen Shuo stretched half of his head out of the window, "It's good to fight, as I'll have a better chance of becoming a top scorer in the palace examination If they are injured."
Han Yue frowned and scolded, "What a ridiculous thing to say."
Wen Shuo laughed, scratching his head and asked, "His Majesty has set a three-day period, but I wonder if that slick and sly Da Lisi minister will be able to solve the case?"
"Since you said he was slick and sly, presumably it won't be difficult to settle the case."
"Then His Highness is waiting for him to settle the case?"
"No." Han Yue shook his head, suddenly remembering the woman's stern back in the stone pavilion that day, and narrowed his eyes, "I'm waiting for another person to give the court an answer."
