Chapter 187 The court is shaken
The results of this examination made Li Chengdao feel surprisingly angry.

Of the 71 famous scholars on the list, 63 are actually descendants of major aristocratic families!However, only eight scholars from poor families were on the list, and they were all from the inferior Ming Jing Ke!
Thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Jinshi.

From this sentence, we can see which one is more valuable, the Ming Jing Ke or the Jin Shi Ke. Even when the imperial court appoints officials, priority is given to those who have passed the Jin Shi Ke.

Under the premise of adopting a nameless system, this year's Jinshi is still monopolized by children of aristocratic families. What does this mean?
Does it mean that children from poor families are inferior to children from aristocratic families?Does it mean that children from aristocratic families are generally more talented than children from poor families?
All fucking fart!
"A scholar from a poor family studied hard for ten years and went through hardships to take part in the examination in order to honor his family and stand out."

"I feel that the scientific examination is unfair, and I have specifically ordered the adoption of a name-blinding system to prevent aristocratic families from monopolizing Jinshi, and try to create a fair scientific examination environment for scholars all over the world."

"Now there are only eight poor scholars from poor families who have been admitted to the Ming Jing Ke. Do you believe this if I tell you this!"

Li Chengdao's face was very ugly, and his eyes were as cold as ever.

"Jia Xu!"

"Chen is here!"

Jia Xu responded immediately. Even with his head lowered, he could feel the anger emanating from Li Chengdao.

This time, His Majesty... was really angry.

"I leave this matter to you and investigate it clearly! No matter what method you use, I only give you three days!"

"If you can't find out in three days, you will return the Shadow Guard to me, and I will hand it over to someone else to take charge of!"

Li Chengdao's voice was full of anger, without any hint of his usual peace.

Then he paused and continued: "Immediately withdraw the published scientific examination results and declare them invalid. We will retake the examination after a thorough investigation!"

Hearing Li Chengdao's words, Wei Zheng was suddenly startled and said, "Your Highness, if you do this, it will lose the dignity and dignity of the court!"

"If we don't do this, then the majesty and dignity of the imperial court in the hearts of the world's scholars will really be lost!"

Li Chengdao snorted coldly, tossed his sleeves and left the imperial study.

After Li Chengdao left, Jia Xu stood up from the ground. He patted the dust on the hem of his robe and said calmly: "My lords, please take a step ahead."

After that, he left the Imperial Study Room, leaving only Changsun Wuji and others.

"This matter has become serious now. Your Majesty is already murderous. This matter cannot be resolved."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said.

This was the first time he had seen Li Chengdao so angry, and he was lying if he said he was not afraid. He finally realized what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.

Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly: "His Majesty has ordered the adoption of a name-blinding system. Those families have not been honest for a while and are still as rampant as before. Any consequences they get are caused by themselves."

Then he glanced at everyone and said: "I advise you to ignore anyone who comes to ask for help during this period. Mr. Jia is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is a truly loyal eagle dog to His Majesty. He does not know how to read." What kind of camaraderie?"

Among all the people, only Jia Xu frightened Changsun Wuji the most.

He knew all about Jia Xu's deeds. This counselor who proposed the poisonous plan to destroy the Turks was really a terrible person.

……

Less than a day after the results of the examination were released, the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court hastily issued a notice announcing that the examination was suspected of fraud and all results were invalid.

Moreover, Li Chengdao personally wrote a decree and ordered it to be announced in front of Gongyuan.

"I will give you an explanation."

This notice is very simple, as simple as only one sentence.But just such a sentence contains extremely firm determination and strength!
Countless poor scholars had mixed emotions after seeing this notice written by the current Tang Emperor himself, and some even burst into tears.

After the scientific examination list came out this time, the results that were no different from previous years made countless poor scholars feel chilled. They all felt that Li Chengdao's order to implement the name-blinding system was just a show and had no intention of creating a fair examination environment for them. .

However, Li Chengdao expressed his position with actions, abolished the results, thoroughly investigated fraud, and stated that he would give an explanation to the world's scholars.

As an emperor, he has a golden tongue, and since he said he would give an explanation to all the scholars, he will definitely do it!

"Your Majesty is on the side of us humble scholars!"

"How can I, a scholar like me, study hard for ten years in a cold window and not be as good as those children from aristocratic families! How come no one has passed the Jinshi examination!"

"I believe that Your Majesty will strictly investigate the examination fraud and bring justice to the world's scholars!"

"Strictly investigate fraud! Give me justice!"

……

The scholars were excited and their confidence was rekindled one by one.

Li Chengdao was something that few kings could match in terms of personal charisma or prestige. The promises he made personally quickly won the trust of all the poor men, and they were all determined that Li Chengdao would help them find justice.

The poor scholars have been frustrated for too long. They can't compete with the big families. Now, finally, a big shot with enough weight is on their side. How can they not support it?

Just when the meeting was causing a storm in the city, Jia Xu also led the Shadow Guard to launch his operation.

……

Zhou House.

After the cheating in the general examination broke out, Zhou Shen was the first to panic.

"How, how could it be like this... Didn't they guarantee that there would be no problem? Why did His Majesty pay personal attention to this matter? What should we do now..."

Zhou Shen was running around anxiously in the study room, feeling extremely flustered.

When Wu Hanlin came to him at that time, he swore to him that there would be no problems with this fraud, so that he could rest assured.

However, just one day after the results came out, the person in the palace was immediately furious. He now really regrets why he agreed to this matter.

"No, if His Majesty is so angry this time, the Shadow Guards will definitely be dispatched. As the examiner, I will definitely be the first to be suspected... I have to go to Wu Hanlin to discuss it quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Zhou Shen said as he walked directly outside the study.

But as soon as he reached the door, the door of the study room was violently kicked open.

A group of guards dressed in black uniforms with swords strapped to their waists walked directly into the study and surrounded him.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome man in Confucian robes walked into the room, then smiled at him and said, "Master Zhou, where are you going?"

Seeing this man in Confucian robes, Zhou Shen's legs suddenly became weak and he said bitterly: "Jia, Jia Shizhong..."

Who is this person in front of me if it’s not Jia Xu!
Jia Xu smiled faintly and said: "About the imperial examination, I have some questions to ask Mr. Zhou. The other examiners have also been invited back by me. Mr. Zhou will also go with me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shen immediately collapsed to the ground, and then with a casual wave of Jia Xu's hand, he was carried out of the study by the Shadow Guard.
