The present Emperor, the numerous officials, Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, were all standing in this Throne Room, waiting for an ordinary citizen who was still eating his bread.
How unbelievable was this.
The officials were enraged, each of them filled with righteous indignation. There were even people who entertained the thought that it wouldn't be reasonable to pin a criminal offence of withholding truth from the Emperor. However, not a single official voiced this out.
The reason was very simple. Even though Fang Zhengzhi was an ordinary citizen, he was the theory examination roll champion of this Imperial Examination, a stunning talent that scored full marks in all six examination papers. Furthermore, he had even defeated and killed the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race, Ying Shan.
