Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

"Get out of the way... Don't get in the way, get out of the way..."

Chen Ping and the examinees didn't take two steps, suddenly there was a shouting sound beside him, and everyone turned their heads to look for the sound, but it was a fat old man in a gorgeous dress, leading a group of servants, aggressively approaching Jiang Bing go.

This scene is somewhat scary!

Chen Ping and the candidates couldn't help but stop and wait and see, trying to figure out what happened.

But Jiang Bing and the students of the academy saw that this group of people seemed to be acting in a bad manner, and immediately touched the hilt of the saber in unison.

Even the imperial guards who announced the good news frowned secretly, and the chief commander shouted coldly: "How dare you make trouble in the inner city? You don't fear the law!"

This voice is full of deterrence.

The aura of the fat old man and his servants was immediately vented, and the fat old man hurriedly explained: "It's not about making trouble, but because I'm eager to make friends with talents, and I'm afraid that others will take the lead when it's too late."

As he spoke, he pointed to the distance behind him.

Looking along his fingers, he could see many well-dressed people, leading groups of servants, coming from the direction of the outer city.

The head of the imperial guard was stunned, the examinee Chen Ping was also stunned, Jiang Bing and the students of the academy were also stunned.

The inner city is very strictly inspected on weekdays, and ordinary merchants and ordinary people are unwilling to enter the inner city even if they have nothing to do.

And this fat old man, and those people behind him, although they are dressed gorgeously, they don't have a belt around their waists, and they don't have a crown on their heads.

If it is said that they want to make friends with the candidates while they are not making a fortune, it is reasonable.

But... Does it take such a big battle to make friends with talents?

These hordes are aggressive, and those who don't know the inside story will think that you are trying to rob people!
"Dare to ask Mr. Jiang Lang, have you ever been married?"

Taking advantage of everyone's dazed time, the fat old man squeezed in front of Jiang Bing and asked with his arms raised.

Jiang Bing was already in a daze, but when he was asked this straightforward question, his brain was not enough, and he said in a daze, "Uh, I'm not married yet..."

"Please grandson-in-law go home~!"

The fat old man's eyes lit up, and before Jiang Bing could finish speaking, he yelled out to his servants, set up Jiang Bing in a crowd, and hurried to the outer city.

Jiang Bing was so stupid, he kicked his legs and said anxiously: "Grandson-in-law? What grandson-in-law? I don't know the granddaughter of the elder's family?"

The fat old man replied hesitantly: "Jiang Langjun, don't worry, I don't know you now, I will know you soon!"

Jiang Bing: "..."

what's the situation?

Is this to force Lalang to match?
It turns out that you really came to rob people!
This scene made everyone dumbfounded, and the students in the academy even laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh anymore, save me..."

Jiang Bing turned around and shouted anxiously.

But the students in the academy laughed even louder, and they didn't intend to rescue them at all. Instead, they booed and said, "Uh, our pancakes are still chicks. You need to teach them before entering the wedding room, otherwise you may be in trouble." There is no door~!"

Jiang Bing cursed in embarrassment: "You can't enter the gate...Naiweng City Gate can also enter..."

Tread--
Jiang Bing's embarrassing voice gradually faded away, but the sound of horseshoes rumbled again from the direction of the city gate, and another team of guards rode their horses.

At this time, the previous cavalry team of imperial guards had handed over Jiang Bing's fake paper to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they were pasting it up in front of the examination room.

The new team of imperial guards went straight to the notice board, handed several fake papers to the official of the Ministry of Rites, and said hoarsely: "We are shouting loudly, you come and read."

This team of guards took Li Si's happy money, and yelled so hard along the way that their voices became hoarse...

The official of the Ministry of Rites took several fake papers with a smile, and looked through the names and places of origin on them one by one.

The students of the academy hurriedly suppressed their laughter and waited quietly for the announcement.

Candidates from all counties held their breath and pricked up their ears.

Including those gentry who have come to the front and are ready to snatch people and marry him at any time, they are also the gods of each gathering.

"cough……"

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked through the names and places of origin of several fake papers, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he coughed softly and said, "The first assistant, Li Zhi, is from the inner city of Xianyang, Guanzhong~!"

The clear and clear voice echoed in front of the quiet examination room, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

After hearing this, the candidates from all counties all showed disappointment, and secretly sighed that it was not themselves.

Then, the candidates from all counties began to look around again, trying to find out the great talent named Li Zhi.

But there are also those who are active in their thoughts, such as Chen Ping, such as the Li brothers... with constipated faces all over their faces, they cast their eyes on the students of the academy.

The native place of the first Zuoer is Guanzhong, and it is the inner city of Xianyang.

Undoubtedly, he is the dandy of a wealthy family!
Unsurprisingly, the gathered students from the academy were already frenzied, and everyone was crazily stroking the dog's head of one of them.

"Zhi'er is promising."

"It's unbelievable, Zhi'er..."

"Your baby is turning over!"

This amusing scene gradually attracted the attention of candidates from various counties.

Immediately, a candidate who knew Li Zhi was in disbelief and said in disbelief: "This is the dandy of the Queen's Prime Minister Li. In the past, flying eagles and lackeys ran rampant... Is there any reason for such scum in the world to be able to take the No. 2 exam?" It's..."

This voice instantly ignited the emotions of all the candidates, all of them were worse than eating fly droppings, disgusted and ashamed.

It was embarrassing to know just now that the number one on the list is a student from the academy.

Fortunately, that Jiang Bing was not a dandy, but a commoner in Qianshou, which is not unacceptable.

Even, admirable!
But now the number one assistant is also taken by a student from the school, and the other party is a dude.

This is very painful!

After all, before the exam, they laughed at the students in the academy, especially the dandies among them.

Being overwhelmed by the object of ridicule now, don't be too useless!

"It's alright, alright, don't rub it, my head is not a big lump of Orchid..."

Li Zhi's bun was loosened, his hair was like a chicken coop, and he broke free from the clutches of his classmates in a panic.

But then, he noticed the strange expressions of the candidates from the various counties. After being dazed for a while, he couldn't help pinching his waist and laughing triumphantly: "Hahahaha... Is there another one who refuses to accept? And one who dares to mock Naiweng?"

"You are all defeated under Nai Weng, hahahahaha~!"

This kind of arrogant posture, coupled with his chicken coop-shaped unruly hairstyle, seems to be a dandy who can no longer be a dandy.

Candidates from all over the place all turned black, their teeth itching with hatred, who could bear to be suppressed by such things?

No one can bear it!
Chen Ping took a deep breath, and walked to the place where the list was posted in disbelief, to see the fake scroll pasted up by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Many candidates also squeezed over to watch the No. 2 fake paper that belonged to Li Zhi.

"This fellow and that leader, Jiang Bing, are in a double pair. The relationship seems to be very good. It's hard to guarantee that it's not collusion and cheating!"

"However, how can such an idle dude have real talents and learning?"

"If it's really cheating, I will die against the palace gate..."

While looking at the fake papers, the examinees discussed indignantly, as if they were questioning the fairness of the central exam.

Li Zhi's basic three subjects of law, etiquette, and arithmetic are full marks like Jiang Bing's, and the two answer the questions in the same style, which really looks like collusion and cheating.

This made the examinees more and more angry!
Even Chen Ping turned black!

However, after Chen Ping finished reading the basic three subject papers, when he set his sights on Li Zhi's extra points paper, he gradually became dumbfounded.

Chen Ping doesn't know how to farm, nor does he know medicine. He knows all kinds of crafts, art of war and so on... he doesn't know anything about it!
So when he took the big exam yesterday, he asked for a famous test paper, trying to try his luck and see if he could get extra points.

After all, he was born Huang Lao, believes in the way of nature, knows how to govern the people with punishment and morality, and is eloquent.

He can barely handle the set of dialectical etiquette, laws and decrees of famous scholars, and even the logic of humanism and nature!

And Yingzheng's famous question is the dialectical center exam, which is intended to show off his virtue and let the examinees brag about his rainbow fart.

Chen Ping blew it, because he was the beneficiary of the Central Central Examination!
And Li Zhi, who was also a beneficiary of the Central Central Exam, not only didn't brag, but criticized the Central Central Exam as useless.

In addition, Li Zhi not only criticized the central examination, but even ridiculed those who are unwilling to start from the grassroots.

It roughly means that talented people also need to have pragmatic virtues. Those who only want to reach the sky in one step are not worthy of the central examination specially set up by the imperial court for them. Be despised!
"cough……"

Chen Ping looked uncomfortable and coughed unconsciously.

In the past, he didn't want to be an official. In fact, it was probably because he was proud of his talents. He didn't want to be a tired and hard-working low-level official, wasting his talents in vain.

After Chen Ping died, there were probably not a few candidates who felt targeted like him.

The indignant black faces of many candidates have gradually turned into embarrassing red faces!
This article is too sharp and insolent.

But I have to say, it's really insightful.

The dialectical logic of the famous master made him play to the fullest. He pissed off the emperor and the candidates, which is equivalent to pissing himself off...

Most importantly, it really looks like that bohemian dandy's handwriting!
Chen Ping and the examinee turned their heads intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Li Zhi whose tail was up to the sky, and couldn't help smiling wryly.

I can't accept it!
Tread-tap-

At this moment, another team of imperial guards rushed over, and the frustrated examinees hurried out of the way.

This team of imperial guards also did not roll their names, and even when they handed over the false scroll to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they couldn't make a sound when they opened their mouths, so they just raised their hands to ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to help them roll their names.

Well, No.3 is Wang Li.

And the old Wang Jian gave Xiqian, which was much more generous than the poor Li Si.

What Li Si gave was half a penny, while Old Wang Jian directly stuffed each guard with a piece of gold pancake. The guards yelled along the way, and naturally they worked harder, their throats were smoking!

"The top three on the list, Wang Li, is originally from the inner city of Xianyang, Guanzhong~!"

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites checked that they were correct, they announced the name and place of origin aloud.

This time, both Chen Ping and the examinees had experience. When they heard that their hometown was the inner city of Xianyang, Guanzhong, they immediately looked at the students in the academy together.

"Acceptance... the gentlemen have accepted..."

Wang Li is older than Li Zhi, and his temperament has tended to be more stable. Seeing the candidates from various counties come over, he smiled and raised his hands in a gesture of humility, and said: "I am not talented, Wang Li, this time the Central Central Examination is lucky to beat all the gentlemen. One move, it’s actually the lords who gave in~!”

Chen Ping: "..."

Candidates: "..."

Let me let you be a big-headed ghost, let me let you!

This seemingly humble guy is even more embarrassing than Li Zhi's arrogance!
"Hmph, I believe that Jiang Bing has real talent and learning."

"But Li Zhi and Wang Li were all dudes in the past. I don't believe that they have real talents and learning!"

Candidates who were unwilling to be defeated couldn't help muttering.

This remark immediately resonated with many candidates around, and someone replied: "One is the youngest son of the empress minister of the dynasty and the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other is the more honorable eldest son of Marquis Wu Cheng and Tong Wuhou."

"Both of them are relied upon by His Majesty the First Emperor, and they are deeply favored and trusted. Perhaps it is not impossible to get the exam papers in advance and ask others to write them, imitating their own style of writing and memorizing them..."

Such conspiracy theories are very popular and have attracted many candidates to nod frequently.

But not everyone believes in this kind of angry words that make excuses for themselves when they are no better than others.

Therefore, some candidates retorted that if you lose, you lose, just be more frank.

When the two parties were arguing, another cavalry team of imperial guards came galloping, and before they got close, they sang loudly: "Central examination, No. 4 on the list, Shihu, native of Guanzhong Gaoling County..."

This shout stopped the debate in an instant.

Those who are originally from Guanzhong, don't even think about it, this is another student of the academy.

And what is certain is that [-]% of this talented person who ranks fourth on the list was born in the common people in the head of Guizhou.

Because he doesn't even have a surname or family name, which is enough to show his humble background!
"Why are they all candidates from Guanzhong? Could it be that the imperial court is partial to candidates from the old Qin?" some candidates muttered bitterly.

These words made the unwilling candidates nod their heads in agreement.

Chen Ping also frowned. He didn't believe that his level was so poor that he couldn't even make it into the top five, so he said quietly: "Is it true that the imperial court favored the candidates from the old Qin Dynasty, and all the fake papers of the candidates were posted on the list. You will know by comparison."

The candidates around all nodded their heads, stopped talking nonsense, forcibly held their breath, and waited for more rankings to be announced.

At the same time, those wealthy gentry who were planning to marry him, saw another good seed appeared, and immediately rushed forward in unison, surrounding and vying for it.

After Li Zhi and Wang Li and other dignitaries, they would not dare to marry him. After all, they are not in the right family, and they will definitely look down on them...

In the midst of this excitement, another team of guard knights arrived.

But Chen Ping's wish to squeeze into the top five is impossible to realize.

The fifth person is still from Guanzhong, still a student of the academy, and was born in Qianshou.

What's funny is that the surname is Chen, the same surname as Chen Ping, and I don't know if it's the Yuanzong...

Chen Ping could only smile wryly, lowering his wish to being in the top ten.

However, God seemed to intend to make things difficult for him. Team after team of guards came and went, bringing one ranking after another. The bottom five of the top ten were all announced, without his name.

What's more, the top ten turned out to be all people from Guanzhong, and they were all students from the academy, either from powerful and noble families, or from common people in Qianshou!

Chen Ping and the candidates from all the counties felt more and more cold in their hearts, and all of them frowned into knots.

Could it be that the imperial court really favored candidates from the old Qin Dynasty?

However, looking at the fake papers posted, one can't find any faults, they are indeed excellent.

Even if it is the basic three subjects of law, etiquette, and arithmetic, those who do not get full marks still have amazing special bonus papers, which make it impossible to say!
As a result, Chen Ping's desire was lowered again, and he looked forward to a candidate from another county appearing on the list, so that he could compare the fake papers and see where the difference was compared with the candidates from Guanzhong.

The rankings after the top ten are no longer announced individually. The guards will bring several rankings at a time, and they will announce and post fake papers together.

In this way, the speed at which the rankings were announced suddenly accelerated, and soon one hundred people were announced.

What's scary is that the top [-] are all candidates from Guanzhong, all students from the academy... They dominate the list!

The students of the academy fulfilled the rhetoric they put down when they were ridiculed by the candidates from various counties before the exam yesterday: [Take all the good rankings, so that you will call Nai Weng Shangguan when you meet Nai Weng in the future! 】

Chen Ping and the candidates from various counties have nothing to love about each other, and even doubt life.

The students of the academy, on the other hand, cheered happily, and didn't bother to wait for the rest of the rankings. Those who were not dragged away by the gentry's helpers, frolicked out of the inner city to drink and have fun.

Before leaving, Li Zhi pointed at the candidates from various counties, and said: "Naiweng is not targeting anyone, only one person present counts as one, and they are all young people with great aspirations~!"

"Guochao set up the central exam for you, it is really not worth the loss..."

Chen Ping: "..."

Candidates: "..."

Everyone bowed their heads, but did not speak.

Lost, miserably defeated, completely defeated... What face is there to talk about?

The students of the academy left.

There was no movement for a long time before the examination room.

It wasn't until another roll-calling guard knight arrived that the calm was broken.

"Central Central Examination, [-]st place, Li Shiqi, native of Yongqiu County, Dang County."

"Central Center Examination, [-]nd place, Chen Ping, native of Yangwu County, Sanchuan County."

"Central Central Examination, [-]rd place, Li Shang, native of Yongqiu County, Dang County."

"Central Center Examination, [-]th place, Zhong Limei, native of Qu County, Donghai County."

"The center is wide open, the one hundred and fifth place..."

The imperial guard brought five rankings at once, and Chen Ping was impressively ranked behind Li Shiqi of the Li brothers.

Now, there are more than 100 people in the list, and it is meaningless to care about who is behind whom. It is enough to be happy to be on the list.

Chen Ping and the four of them congratulated each other, and accepted the congratulations from candidates from various counties.

Moreover, no matter what, there were finally candidates outside Guanzhong, and all the candidates breathed a sigh of relief and raised their spirits.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites posted the fake test papers of Chen Ping and five people, the examinees gathered around to watch and compare their test papers with those of the Guanzhong candidates.

But this comparison, all candidates are dumbfounded.

Even the official of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of putting up the list shook his head.

The difference is too big!
Although Li Shiqi was ranked [-]st, his test papers were nothing compared to those of the [-]th Guanzhong candidates.

Especially in one of the three basic subjects, Mathematics, his score was more than 90 points, while Li Shiqi's score was only [-] points, almost half of it.

None of the test papers of Guanzhong examinees or students from the academy had scores lower than [-], and perfect scores abounded.

As for the law and etiquette papers of the other two basic subjects, there are very few people with less than [-] points, and perfect marks can be found everywhere.

The most frightening thing is that the three basic subjects of the students in the academy are nothing more than excellent grades, but there is also a specialty bonus, and the content is detailed and the score is extremely high.

The big gap is obvious at a glance!
Looking at the test papers of Li Shiqi and Chen Ping, some focused on the three basic subjects, and some won by adding points for their specialties.

For example, Chen Ping's scores in the three basic subjects were all above 70 or [-], and he even scored more than [-] points in calculations.

However, he only got a pitiful ten points for his master's specialties. If it wasn't for the self-consistent logic of the discussion and the essence of the master, he would probably not be given any points.

And this is why he is ranked behind Li Shiqi. Li Shiqi's math papers are not as good as Chen Ping's two papers on law and etiquette, but his vertical and horizontal theory around Liaodong has achieved almost full marks. good grades...

In short, the results of the test paper comparison are obvious.

The students from the academy took the top [-], not because the imperial court favored the old Qin people, but because their level is indeed far superior to the candidates from other counties!

It's okay to be unconvinced!
Chen Ping's unwillingness and arrogance were completely dissipated by the blow, and he turned his gaze to a certain direction in the inner city, and said quietly: "The government-run school, what exactly is it?"

……

……

"Aiqing, what kind of monster concentration camp did you create?!"

In a side hall of Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked at Qin Mo in disbelief and sighed.

After the top [-] test papers were revealed, the officials went crazy.

Regardless of the fact that there are still three rankings of 230 yet to be announced, they all begged for grace from Yingzheng with one voice, hoping that their descendants, or younger generations of the family, could be admitted to the Daqin Academy.

But at that time, Ying Zheng was also paralyzed.

The students of the academy took the top [-] places in the Central Central Examination, which made him realize that the importance of the academy, which had already performed miracles frequently, was probably more important than all the court officials combined.

So he didn't dare to give favors to the ministers casually like last time, and stuff their dudes and grandchildren into the academy for education.

But he didn't spit out, and the officials just begged blindly, even begging with no regard for decency!
Ying Zheng didn't want to give grace rashly, but seeing how the officials begged, it was not easy to refuse directly.

In the end, he could only leave the matter of dismantling the name to Chun Yuyue, the chief examiner of the Central Central Examination, and he found an excuse to change clothes and escape from the hall.

As for Qin Mo, he knew very well that as the founder of the Daqin Academy, if Ying Zheng put his son on the run, the officials would definitely find him.

Therefore, decisively followed suit!
The two monarchs and ministers were staying in the side hall at this time, somewhat afraid to go out, for fear of being blocked by the ministers...

"Your Majesty doesn't need to think too deeply, and there are no monsters. The academy just integrates educational resources and systematizes the educational mechanism."

"So the students can learn the most and the richest knowledge in the shortest time, which is much better than Ye Luzi's tutoring or self-study."

"Your Majesty... let's think about how to deal with the ministers, otherwise the ministers will not dare to go home!"

At the end of Qin Mo's speech, he turned around and smiled wryly.
