Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 95: A young man who shows his sharpness, good writing, and good ambition!
"Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing. By noon tomorrow, can you finish reading the whole set?"

The official Zhao Ji walked forward slowly with square steps, and Wu Zhizhong, Minister of Rites, accompanied him and nodded.

"The officials can rest assured that the examiners are all ready, and most of them have been in charge of reading the examination papers of the previous imperial examinations, so they should not have to travel a lot."

"Okay, okay... Ladies and gentlemen, go and handle your business, Wu Aiqing, walk with me."

The examiners who came to see the Emperor of Song scattered away, leaving only Wu Shangshu alone.

The two walked forward not far, Wu Zhizhong reached into his arms, took out a small thing wrapped in thin silk, and offered it respectfully with both hands.

The official Zhao Ji reached out to take it, squeezed his fingers, felt the texture of the paper wrapped in thin silk, and stuffed it into his arms.

"Officials, all the officials are in a hurry, and the minister will go to supervise the reading of papers everywhere, and invite the officials..."

"It's okay, Wu Aiqing, you are busy with your work, I still want to walk around here."

Facing Wu Zhizhong's attempt to expel him, the official Zhao Ji didn't respond at all, even though he got Xiao Gao's handwritten letter.

However, how could I just leave so easily? I have to see how the examiners think of Gao Zhang's test paper.

Don't let those test examiners bury a young prodigy like Ai Tu.

Seeing the official's expression that I don't want to leave, I want to stay, Wu Zhizhong's face darkened, and he felt a headache.

But if you don't leave, can I, as a subject, still leave you here?
Let it go, then I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the king.

"If the official has orders, please tell them directly."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Ai Qing must also know that I am very curious about that Gao Xingyuan."

"Now that the palace exam is over, I just happen to have time to come and take a look..."

"..."

#####
Wu Zhizhong looked at the Hunjun, although he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect the Hunjun to actually come here because of Gao Zhang.

This is a very good thing, but the problem is that Wu Shangshu, who is stern and selfless and never seeks personal gain in public affairs, is worried.

This stupid king here has influenced the judges of the examinees' test papers by the examiners.

That will cause Gao Zhang's real achievements to be covered with a layer of dirt that is difficult to wash off.

After all, the official family is a faint king, which is recognized by the world.

But the problem is, after all, everyone eats the food of the imperial court, so they can only speak in private, not face to face.

But if there is any minister who gets too close to this faint king.

Then the reputation of this minister will definitely be implicated, and even directly labeled as a treacherous person.

Wu Zhizhong didn't want such a scene to happen, which is why he was willing to join forces with Chen Shilang in the provincial examination and palace examination.

Seeing Wu Zhizhong suddenly go dumb, his face changing back and forth, he just kept silent.

Zhao Ji didn't understand what was going on, his reputation was flawed in the eyes of the ministers, and Zhao Ji, who had a high self-esteem, was still a little out of line.

More importantly, Zhao Ji didn't want his lover to be unfairly wronged, so he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and forced a smile at Wu Zhizhong.

"Don't worry, Aiqing, I'm just looking at it, and I'm sure it won't interfere with the national affairs such as the imperial examination."

Seeing the officials like this, Wu Zhizhong could only nod his head and lead the way first.

"Officials, please come here with me. Chen Shilang is reading the papers with a group of paper readers."

#####
Generally speaking, the examiners of a team will come from multiple departments in order to ensure the fairness of grading and grading to the greatest extent.

Just like the eight examiners in this room, officials from several institutions such as the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, and the Taixue read the examination papers together.

But at this moment, Chen Shilang did not leave after distributing the tribute examination papers.

Instead, he stood behind the examiner who was reading Gao Zhang's "Fu of Young China" carefully.

Although Chen Shilang couldn't see the expression of this professor from Taixue at the moment.

But judging from the body language of the other party, there is still effort to get the test paper closer.

In the sound of admiration, he already knew the official's appreciation for Gao Zhang's article.

And the appearance of the teaching assistant shaking his head in admiration while watching, has already affected the surrounding examiners.

But at this moment, an examiner suddenly slapped the case table, making everyone in the room tremble with fright.

Everyone's eyes fell on the old man with white beard and hair, his face flushed with excitement, and he pointed at the test paper in his hand and shouted sharply.

"What kind of nonsense article is this, it's simply, it's simply nonsense, what kind of ghost is it written?"

"It's really unreasonable for such people to be able to participate in the Imperial Palace Examination."

Chen Shilang stepped forward quickly, his eyes swept away, and the corner of his mouth was almost crooked. It was the article written by the Qilin son of the Cai family.

Unexpectedly, it happened to fall into the hands of this rather old and rigorous scholar Gu.

"Old Gu, calm down, please calm down, Mr. Gu, don't hurt yourself because of a mere test paper."

"To make Gu Lao so angry, it seems that this must be a piece of stuff that I can't bear to look at directly."

"That's right, that's right, it's not like this article of mine. Although some of the essays are not on the right topic, but anyway, the writing is brilliant, and the calligraphy is very solid. It can be regarded as a rare masterpiece."

"Hehe...Everyone, according to someone's opinion, the top three in the imperial examination of this subject must have the name of this volume."

"Who, it turned out to be Professor Wang from Taixue. It's true or not. You haven't read a few articles yet. Why are you so sure?"

The elder Gu who was so hot-eyed by Cai's Qilinzi's bullshit article heard this, so he stood up and stretched out his hand to ask for it.

"Come, come, and let the old man read a good article and wash his eyes."

Professor Wang subconsciously glanced at Chen Shilang, who was supervising here, and saw him nodding his head slightly.

Naturally, he didn't hesitate any longer, and handed over the article that he regarded as the top three in this year's palace examination.

"This is "Young China Fu"? Hey, this fate is really novel. Waiting for the old man, um... um?"

Gu Lao just glanced at it, and it was hard to take his eyes off the article.

His head began to shake from side to side, seeing this old pedant like this.

The examiners naturally knew that it must be the well-known Mr. Gu who read the wonderful article.

After shaking around for a long time, Mr. Gu couldn't help attacking the case again.

"Okay! Happy, what a sharp-edged young man, good writing, and good ambition!"

"Mr. Gu, let the officials read it carefully, and see how wonderful the article can be praised by Mr. Gu."

"What's the hurry, the old man has only seen half of it."

"Mr. Gu, it's not appropriate for you to read it any longer. You must know that this is what I read..."

Seeing that in order to fight for the right to see it quickly, this scholar-like official who is obsessed with academics seems to be arguing.

Chen Shilang couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and finally jumped out to take over the place.
