Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 177 We have to retake the exam

The matter of Hu Hai is over, and the game starts again.

After the rest, Li Xin and the others were fine.

Although Liu Bai suggested that someone should be replaced, no one wanted to go down.

It is a rare opportunity to fight side by side with His Majesty, how can we retreat so easily?
Naturally, Hu Hai could no longer play, and was replaced by one of his older brothers.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the yellow team won the game 1:0.

Ying Zheng and the team members following behind looked at Hu Hai with an unkind expression.

Were it not for you, would we have lost?
The situation is like this, although the young masters have won, they dare not cheer.

Glaring at Hu Hai, he kept slandering in his heart.

Were it not for you, we would have won such disgrace?
For a time, Hu Hai became the target of public criticism.

After Yingzheng led the courtiers down the mountain, the prince's army led by Fusu directly surrounded Huhai.

Curling up, feeling the big feet falling on his body, Hu Hai wanted to cry but had no tears.

I just want to get a compliment, what about you?

……

Due to Liu Bai's abnormal grading speed, the results of this assessment had already come out early the next morning.

Officials and common people gathered around the Liesi one after another, looking at the list posted on the wall.

A total of 35 candidates made the list this time, including [-] civil servants and [-] generals.

The common people were full of admiration, but most of the candidates looked sad.

Only the 50 people on the list are eligible to meet His Majesty for the final imperial examination.

Those who failed the rankings could only pack up their things and go back to where they came from.

Just as they looked lonely and were about to go back to pack their luggage, they heard whispers from a few people not far away.

"See? Am I right?"

"Brother Wang is really a man of gods, so I can guess this too!"

The person known as Brother Wang shook his head and looked around mysteriously.

"What's so difficult about it? Think about it, who wrote the test questions? Who was the grader? Isn't it a natural thing for them to be on the list?"

The other party fell silent when he heard the words, said no more, cupped his hands and left the scene.

It was passed on from ten to ten, and in this way, the story that the son-in-law helped the eldest son's subordinates to cheat spread among the examinees.

The mansions of Li Si, Feng Quji and other important officials were almost surrounded by candidates who failed the exam.

Everyone clamored to see them, and was determined to ask clearly.

Feng Quji was eating breakfast, and when he heard the report from his servants, his appetite instantly whetted.

"Ru'er, come and eat!"

Feng Jie was a little worried.

"Father, let them surround the door like this?"

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Feng Quji murmured in his heart that it was really not as delicious as that on the broken mountain, and then looked at his son with a smile.

"Your Majesty will only pay attention to the matter when things get serious. Don't worry, you have your own measure as a father, and wait..."

It was the same situation in Li Si's mansion, but he thought differently from Feng Quji.

"Yu'er, you immediately leave the mansion through the back door, go to the mountain to report this matter to the son-in-law, and enter the palace to report to His Majesty for your father..."

Li You nodded slightly, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

Looking at Li Si with an embarrassed expression, he asked.

"Father, there is that Eunuch Yu at the son-in-law's place, shall we go?"

Li Si naturally knew what he meant.

Yu Huatian's ability is outstanding, such a big incident happened in Xianyang City, it was targeted at his master, Liu Bai probably knew it by now.

But even so, Li You still had to go this trip.

If he hadn't wanted to enter the palace, he would have personally gone up the mountain to tell Liu Bai about it.

Looking at his son with hatred, Li Si sighed.

"Yu'er, my father has told you many times that being an official requires not only talent, but also proficiency in the world..."

Seeing his puzzled face, Li Si said helplessly.

"That's all, go to the mountain and tell the son-in-law about this..."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the room to change clothes, ready to see His Majesty.

Li You glanced at his father's back and walked towards the back door of the mansion.

Others are not important, as long as you do what your father said!

After everything was ready, Li Si walked out of the house.

Looking at the excited candidates, he raised his hand to signal them to be quiet.

"Everyone, this old man is about to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, don't worry, I will report this matter to His Majesty!"

When the prime minister came forward, the examinees seemed to have hope.

What's more, being an official in the same dynasty, this face still has to be given.

They all saluted, saying that they would wait for the result at their residence.

Walking to the palace gate, he saw Feng Quji standing quietly on the ground.

Li Si cursed bad luck secretly, smiled amiably and got out of the car.

"I have met Feng Xiang, but I don't know Feng Xiang is asking to see His Majesty?"

Feng Quji returned the gift with a smile, and then pretended to be melancholy.

"The outside of the mansion was surrounded by those candidates early this morning, Mr. Li, tell me, what is this son-in-law doing..."

"Feng Xiang believes what those candidates say?"

Feng Quji gave him a strange look.

"Does Mr. Li believe it? Then let me ask you, why are the people recommended by the son-in-law to the eldest son all on the list?"

Shaking his head, Li Si said slowly.

"I really don't believe that the son-in-law is able to do such a thing and is on the list. Couldn't it be because of their talents?"

With a sneer, Feng Quji stopped talking.

"That's all, after seeing His Majesty, everything will be decided..."

The words were not speculative, and the two didn't say a word after that.

After a while, the guards who went to report turned back.

Stepping into the palace, there was a distance of two or three meters between the two.

Ying Zheng sat in the hall, looked at the two important ministers who came in, and waited for them to speak.

"Your Majesty, after the list was released today, the candidates were dissatisfied and gathered outside the minister's mansion, saying, and saying that the son-in-law helped some candidates to cheat, and they demanded a re-examination!"

Ying Zheng nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked at Li Si.

Arching his hands, Li Si said slowly.

"Your Majesty, this time, it is the son-in-law who writes the questions, and the son-in-law marks the papers. At the same time, the people recommended by the son-in-law to the eldest son are all on the list, so it is normal for the candidates to have doubts!"

Looking at the two, Ying Zheng tapped on a few cases, and then asked.

"How should this be resolved?"

Li Si quietly lowered his head and said nothing.

Feng Quji stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I think you should first dispel the anger of the examinees..."

Li Si sneered.

"How to dissolve it and retake the exam as they said?"

After giving him a blank look, Feng Quji continued to look at Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, I thought it would be possible to publish the examination papers of the candidates who made the list. In this way, there will be no doubts about the candidates who failed the list!"

After hearing his words, Li Si said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I think this is an inappropriate move! How can others comment on what the court has decided? If this case is opened, and someone will question other decisions of the court in the future, do we have to explain them one by one?"

"If this is the case, what is the prestige of the court? If the courtiers and the people have lost their awe, how should they lead the world?"

The corner of Feng Quji's mouth twitched slightly. He already knew that Li Si would not agree to this approach, let alone His Majesty.

The reason why I said it was just to pave the way for the future.

It's just that Li Si's retort was so sharp.

"Then what should Li Xiangzhi think?"

Li Si folded his hands and looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting in a high position.

"Your Majesty, since the person this matter is aimed at is the son-in-law, why not invite him here and ask him what he thinks?"

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

"Xiaoxi, pass on to the son-in-law!"

"promise!"

Feng Quji was secretly proud of himself, what he wanted was Liu Bai to come.

Such a crisis, let's see how he resolves it!
