During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Among all the chirping voices of the girls, one voice stood out in particular.

"Do you think he got the top spot because of the princess?"

The girls who were still noisy fell silent for a moment, becoming suspicious in their hearts.

The voices of doubt spread from far to near, and it didn't take long for everyone to be immersed in the amateur gossip about the Jinshi examination. It didn't take long for the news to spread that Jiang Qiancai was not qualified.

Some people even said that he stole the exam questions in advance. He didn't have much talent, he just had a good-looking face.

The sound gradually surged.

Even his former classmates couldn't help but quietly question him.

"Do you think what is said outside is true? Jiang Qian is indeed talented, but can he really outshine the students of the noble family and Guozixue? I don't believe it if there is no merit from the princess. .”

"Maybe it was because he wanted to marry the princess that your majesty gave him the position of number one scholar to match the status of the princess. Who doesn't know that your majesty loves Princess Huandu?"

"I didn't expect that in the end he would just be a freeloader."

"Boom..."

Wei Liang kicked the table over, "If you guys dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouths apart. Jiang Qian is our classmate. Don't you know what kind of person he is? His talent is The best among us deserves the top spot."

Some people were unconvinced, "How do you know if you have read everyone's test papers? How do you know there is no water in them." Someone questioned.

"I just know it."

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Liu Xiangyang grabbed Wei Liang and pulled him out of the room.

"Why are you arguing with them? They are just jealous."

"I'm just a little angry. These people are usually brothers with Brother Jiang. There was just a little doubt outside. You see, all their faces are exposed."

Liu Xiangyang said nothing, which is human nature.

"Actually, I have a little doubt. Don't be angry first. Jiang Qian is indeed talented, but in the Jinshi examination, it's not just about talent, but also reputation. Those students from aristocratic families and Guozixue are running such a business in the capital. After many years, logically speaking, we shouldn’t lose to Jiang Qian.”

Jiang Qian won the first prize in the exam, and Liu Xiangyang was happy for him, but also a little worried.

For so many years, the number one scholar has always been the prize of Guozixue and aristocratic families. Jiang Qian was neither from aristocratic family nor from Guozixue. Being the number one scholar once was a slap in the face to those people. I'm just afraid that those people will hate me.

The rumors outside became more and more intense, but Jiang Qian remained unmoved.

"Sir, aren't you in a hurry?" Hong Da couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Qian said: "They won't say for long, how are you preparing the things they asked you to prepare?"

"Don't worry, sir, everything is ready. I have bought a lot of fashionable clothes and materials. I guarantee that the girl will like you when she sees you."

Jiang Qian raised his lips slightly, "That's good. I haven't seen Ah Miao for more than half a year, so I look a little like her. I don't know if anyone bullied her."

"If a girl has someone to protect her, no one can bully her." It's good not to bully others.

Luo Huanhuan was furious when she heard the rumors. She sent several groups of people to investigate and even spent money to find people to dispel the rumors.

But the rumors became more and more intense, and they seemed to be threatening to overwhelm Jiang Qian.

"How could this happen? Who is behind this?" Hou Cheng personally felt the ferocity of that group of people. They had just clarified the rumors one second, and then several rumors started to appear the next second.

"Princess, there are not many people who can do this in the capital. It's probably the fault of those people."

Luo Huanhuan couldn't sit still. The emperor's brother asked him to take care of Jiang Qian. She couldn't just watch something happen to him and ignore it. "No, I want to go find my father."

Hou Cheng hurriedly grabbed her, "Princess, if you go to see His Majesty at this time, wouldn't it be true for the rumors? Why don't you wait a moment."

Princess Huandu was anxiously circling back and forth in the room, "It's not an option to wait like this. If the rumors are allowed to spread, his reputation will be ruined."

Hou Cheng thought thoughtfully, "I heard from people in the Ministry of Rites that the test papers of thirty Jinshi scholars were originally planned to be released to the public, but for some reason when the rumors started, the Ministry of Rites did not post the test papers. Just imagine if the test papers were posted, the rumors would also spread." If you don’t attack, you will destroy yourself.”

"Yes, as long as they see the paper, those who question Jiang Qian will shut up, but what about the Ministry of Rites?" She has no one she knows well in the Ministry of Rites!

"Princess, why don't you go and ask your Majesty for this little thing? Your Majesty doesn't know about it."

"you're right."

Princess Huandu struggled with the emperor for a long time before the emperor relented and asked Fulin to pass on the order and post the test papers.

The emperor looked at the taste and said, "Aren't you worried that Jiang Qian is really showing off?"

Luo Huanhuan was full of confidence, "He is not that kind of person. Besides, hasn't Father already seen it? If he doesn't have real materials, how could Father appoint him as the number one scholar?"

The emperor did appreciate Jiang Qian's talent and even planned to reuse him, so the rumors spreading this time were his test of Jiang Qian.

But I didn't expect that before this kid took any action, his daughter couldn't sit still.

No matter what, we can't really see his reputation ruined.

When Eunuch Fulin was on his way to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites received the news in advance. The official in charge of the matter found the Minister of Rites in a panic.

The Minister of Rites narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I have said before that His Majesty will not ignore me. You didn't take my words seriously before, but now that something happened, you think of me. "

The official blushed and groveled, "I am doing this because of..."

"No matter who it is for, post the test papers as soon as possible before Fulin comes. If it's too late, I won't be able to protect you."

The officials felt reassured and quickly went out to make arrangements.

When Father Fulin arrived, the thirty-point test papers had just been posted, so he just went to the etiquette department for a while, drank a cup of tea and left.

As the Ministry of Rites posted the test papers, the voices questioning Jiang Qian disappeared overnight as if they had never been heard before.

As his loyal classmates, Wei Liang and Liu Xiangyang naturally told him the news immediately.

However, Jiang Qian took out two test papers in a leisurely manner, "These are the test papers for the selection of officials in the Ministry of Rites and Officials that I bought from someone. You can take them back and study them carefully."

Wei Liang thanked him as if he had received a treasure.

Liu Xiangyang felt ashamed. He had been busy socializing in the past few days. He attended several banquets and never thought about the next exam.

"Brother Jiang, in terms of long-term vision, the two of us combined are not as good as you."

"After passing the examinations of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, you will be lined up to be a candidate. Do you plan to stay in the capital or be sent abroad?" (End of Chapter)
