Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 79: The court re-examination ended, stunning the audience!What a genius!
After Su Yi entered the palace!

Du Han, Wen Cai, Wen Qing and others also came to the palace one after another.

Bachelors of Hanlin Academy, Bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion, and hundreds of related officials.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites, officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Lin Kui, the examiner of the provincial examination, also entered the palace one after another.

A very high-standard reexamination is required.

After half an hour!
The eunuch came outside the palace and said: "Xilin Jueluo. Su Yi will conduct a re-examination in the court and select thirty candidate representatives to enter the palace to witness. You can nominate them yourself."

Since you want to be decent, then be completely decent and not engage in secret operations.

Although in the palace, three or four plans have been prepared to deal with the situation where Su Yi fails to re-examine.

In short, the emperor was absolutely unwilling to let Su Yi's reputation be ruined this time.

Tens of thousands of scholars outside, including candidates for the current provincial examination and next year's general examination, spent a quarter of an hour to elect thirty representatives.

Among them, of course, is Zhang Yuzhao.

Then, after a strict body search, the thirty representatives entered the palace.

......................................................

Inside the Yangxin Hall, the lights are brightly lit!

More than 100 officials have all arrived.

Among them, more than a dozen bachelors will serve as examiners and participate in judging papers.

After thirty candidates' representatives came in, the whole Yangxin Hall was suddenly full.

Su Yi, with a pale face, was sitting on a soft cushion with a soft quilt behind her.

Anyone could see that he was very weak, bloodless, and had chapped lips.

Next to it, there is excellent ginseng tea.

Several imperial doctors are also on hand at any time.

In front of Su Yi, there is a horizontal table.

In order to save energy, he kept his eyes closed and breathed a little heavily.

Seeing this scene, many candidates couldn't bear it.

This scene is not fake.

It was really hurt.

"The Emperor has arrived!" accompanied by a shout.

All officials and thirty candidates' representatives knelt down and saluted.

Su Yi also wanted to kneel down.

But he was immediately held down by Zenglu.

"Don't, don't, just sit down. If you kneel down, the Emperor will never spare me."

After the emperor entered the Yangxin Hall, he came directly to Su Yi.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Everyone kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

Su Yi kowtowed to Hengji with difficulty.

The emperor blocked him, held his cold hand, his eyes were extremely distressed.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?"

"I have already said that I will exempt you from the re-examination."

Then, he reached out and touched Su Yi's forehead and found that it was hot.

"Physician, does Su Yi have a fever?"

The imperial doctor came out and said: "Yes, brother Su Yi just woke up and was already very weak. Now he has been in the palace for a while, and the wound has been involved, and the fever has become more serious."

"Nonsense, nonsense!" the emperor said: "Carry him into a quiet room and take a good rest. The re-examination will be waived. The re-examination will be rescheduled."

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's do it today."

The emperor returned to the dragon throne and said in a cold voice: "Su Yi saved him from a serious injury, and I personally exempted him from the re-examination. So what are people saying outside? Su Yi is playing a cruel trick, just to avoid the re-examination in the court."

"It's fine now. As soon as he wakes up, he will go to the palace for another examination."

"Is this how you torment a hero who just saved your life?"

"Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble. Every day I feel that there is injustice here, there is injustice there, there is a conspiracy here, there is a conspiracy there."

"I think some people have dark hearts, so everything they see is a conspiracy."

"Belly sinister heart of a gentleman."

"Ridiculous, shameful, pathetic!"

In the Yangxin Hall, the emperor's scolding voice resounded throughout the palace.

He scolded this group of people until they were bloody, scolding them too happily.

Everyone present lowered their heads and listened silently.

Then, the emperor said: "I have an ugly thing to say first."

"You have also seen Su Yi's appearance. If you still don't believe it, you can take a look at his wounds? I'm afraid I'll scare you. Do you want to take a look?"

Everyone present shook their heads desperately.

"Under such circumstances, it is already remarkable to be able to make an article."

"After this reexamination, if Su Yi passes successfully and if anyone spreads any rumors outside, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Immediately, everyone in the audience responded: "嗻!"

Looking at Su Yi's attitude, it is indeed not easy to come to the re-examination.

As long as the article is reasonable, then the re-examination will be considered passed.

The emperor said: "For the re-examination, let's take a policy question!"

"I will come up with the question myself."

After saying that, a eunuch came up to study the ink.

The emperor took a pen and wrote down the policy questions on red paper in public.

And for this exam question.

Su Yi already knew, of course not just because Yibin sent someone to tell him.

Moreover, Zenglu had already whispered in his ear on the road just now.

It's the question of Dao Ce: It's so good to be neutral and not rely on it!
The eldest sister, Qingqing, has already written this policy question. Even if it is a normal retest, there will be no problem at all.

What's more, Su Yi looked seriously injured and had a high fever.

It is extremely amazing to have such a policy question.

but……

After the emperor finished writing this exam question.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then asked for another piece of red paper and wrote down the second test question.

"First the sages and then the sages are the same. For the third generation or less, you will know what you see and hear!"

Hey!
This... what does this mean?
Next up!

The emperor picked up these two pieces of red paper, showed them in front of everyone, and said: "These two policy issues, ministers and students, can you see if they are feasible?"

After everyone looked at it, they all bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "As a favor from me, can I let Su Yi choose one of these two questions as a question?"

Everyone bowed again: "Your Majesty!"

Then, the emperor said to Su Yi: "Just pick a question, any question will do."

Su Yi's heart suddenly lifted.

This move is very interesting.

At the last moment, the emperor could not hold back the temptation.

Because he deliberately revealed the problem to Yibin while talking in his sleep.

He wanted to test whether Yibin leaked the question to Su Yi.

Of course, even if Su Yi chooses this question, it does not prove that Yibin stole the question.

However, this doubt will continue.

Secondly, he still wanted to know whether Su Yi was really talented or whether he had obtained the first place in the provincial civil examination through special fraud.

All we can say is that the emperor is the emperor.

It was true that he was moved by Su Yi at this moment, and he wanted to use all means to prevent Su Ye from being ruined.

However, he wanted to take the opportunity to test whether Yibin was real.

I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to see if Su Yi was really talented and learned, and that was true.

This was decided by him sitting in this position, and the imperial power was imprinted in his bones all the time.

If Su Yi had chosen the first question, he would still have received applause today.

Still able to pass the re-examination with flying colors.

However, the emperor's suspicion of him would not dissipate.

And this suspicion will not cause huge harm now.

Because the current emperor is extremely tolerant of Su Yi, even if he is No. 1 in the provincial examination after cheating, he can still tolerate it.

But in the future, this suspicion may turn into a sharp sword.

More importantly, it may also make the emperor doubt the relationship between Su Yi and Yi Bin.

Then, Su Yi looked at the second question.

Ugh!
He couldn't help but sigh.

God help me too!

Sometimes, there really is something to be said for luck.

Because, this second question.

Su Yi is equally familiar, or even more familiar.

This was a policy issue for the Bingchen Palace Examination in the sixth year of Xianfeng.

And this question of policy is the proud work in Xianfeng's heart.

It was also the policy issue that he most wanted to convey to the world and wanted to see feedback from scholars all over the world.

This is the question that sticks to his mind.

I couldn't help but take it out in advance today.

Then, the emperor looked at Su Yi, waiting for his choice.

In fact, the emperor was also very nervous at this time. He was afraid that Su Yi would choose the first one.

In that case, the emperor would be trapped in a cycle of suspicion again.

He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't help it.

Therefore, as soon as he wrote it, the emperor felt a little regretful as to why he had to do so much more.Isn't it bad to be confused?

Moreover, the first question was obviously easier than the second question. Even if Su Yi didn't cheat, and even if Yibin didn't steal the question to Su Yi, he would probably choose this question.

Do you want to continue to doubt yourself?

At this moment, Su Yi said slowly: "My lord, choose the second path."

The emperor was stunned, and so was the whole audience.

The first course is obviously easier, but the second course is more difficult.

Why did you choose the second path?

Su Yi said: "I like to challenge difficult tasks. Your Majesty asked this second question well. It touches my heart and makes me happy. Although it is difficult, it is really difficult to refuse."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay, okay!"

At this time, Du Han came out and said: "Your Majesty's second question is really too clever. I am willing to surrender. So I have an idea."

The emperor said: "Say."

Du Han said: "Such a clever policy question should have been used to ask scholars all over the world. It should have been the emperor's good intention. It would be a pity if Su Yi wrote this policy question alone. It would be better to let the representatives of the candidates present write it together. Only in this way can we show the splendor and exquisiteness of the emperor's title."

The emperor frowned.

Su Yi's current condition is so bad, but Zhang Yuzhao and others have been recharging their energy for a long time.

If they were asked to write this policy question in class, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to compare Su Yi with him?
Therefore, although Zhang Yuzhao and others were eager to give it a try, the emperor instinctively wanted to refuse.

As a result, at this time, Su Yi said instead: "I quite agree with what Mr. Du Han said. Your Majesty's question is so brilliant that it should be widely spread all over the world. Thirty candidates will accompany me to write this question and brainstorm. ,better."

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Yi.

Are you...are you crazy?
With your current mental state, how could you possibly do anything better than Zhang Yuzhao and others?

Next, even if you write a passable policy question, you will pass the retest successfully.

But it is very likely that he will be far surpassed by Zhang Yuzhao and others, and no one will say anything tonight.

But after a while, this matter will be brought up and talked about.

It is said that your strategy and questioning skills in Su Yi's re-examination are far inferior to those of Zhang Yuzhao, so you are No. 1 in the Wenju Provincial Examination and are not worthy of your name.

Your reputation as a literary star is even more undeserved.

The emperor also looked at Su Yi with confusion and said, "Are you sure?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Suddenly, the emperor was even more moved!

How many people have had Su Yi's ambition?
So, the emperor said: "Then bring thirty short tables, light candles, and thirty student representatives, and write this policy question together."

Immediately, everyone bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the re-examination at the Yangxin Hall tonight will definitely be passed down as a legend through the ages!"

................................................

Next, the entire Yangxin Hall was silent.

This is probably the highest-standard provincial examination re-examination in history.

It has the style of a palace examination.

The whole process will last for several hours. At this time, the emperor should go to rest.

The minister should also go and rest.

However, the emperor was in high spirits and sat in his seat.

All the ministers also stood still.

The eunuch Cheng Shou studied ink for Su Yi.

"Thank you." Su Yi whispered.

Cheng Shou said: "Brother, what are you talking about? We got this job out of the blue."

Su Yi closed her eyes, began to meditate, and began to think.

As he meditated, the emperor suddenly became anxious.

Because Su Yi seemed to be in a very bad mental state. If he were here, it would only put huge pressure on Su Yi.

He suddenly couldn't bear to watch, and said directly: "Everyone, please don't disturb them, go to the side hall to rest."

Then the emperor left.

Many ministers also left one after another.

A dozen guards and a dozen eunuchs were left behind.

Supervise the order of the examination room in Yangxin Hall.

Su Yi closed her eyes and thought for more than half an hour, but still didn't write anything.

Zhang Yuzhao and other [-] candidates' representatives have already completed their ideas and started writing one after another, and their thoughts are flowing.

Another half an hour passed, and Su Yi still didn't write.

At this time, Cheng Shou panicked and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how are you?"

Zenglu was also panicked and hurriedly went to report to the emperor whether he should suspend the exam.

The emperor felt something bad in his heart. Is this Su Yi really unable to answer?

It’s time to prepare a response plan quickly.

An imperial doctor was sent to diagnose and treat Su Yi.

The best ginseng was served again to replenish Su Yi's energy.

After thinking about it for more than an hour, Su Yi started to write.

At this time, no one dared to approach him, and no one dared to read the articles he wrote.She was really afraid that staring from the side would affect Su Yi's thoughts.

At this time, whoever affects Su Yi's thoughts will be guilty of a grave sin.

If you want to flatter someone, don't choose this time.

But at this time, the emperor really didn't dare to look forward to Su Yi's policy articles.

It took me an hour and a half to think about it before I started writing it.

Others have almost finished writing.

Moreover, Zenglu glanced at it and saw that the handwriting was very poor.

How is this good?

At this time, the emperor had already found two eunuchs who had the best articles and wrote this policy question based on this set of questions.

Moreover, you can also imitate Su Yi's poor handwriting at this time.

It was not difficult to imitate, because Su Yi was seriously injured at this time, and his handwriting was crooked and a bit unsightly.

Among the eunuchs, there are also some relatively powerful scholars, but they are incomparable to those outside, such as Zhang Yuzhao and others.

If Su Yi's article is completely unsightly.

Then...that's all I can do is pretend to be a fool and secretly change the exam papers, and give the exam papers of this well-educated eunuch to Su Yi.

Although it is definitely not as good as Zhang Yuzhao and other [-] candidate representatives, it can at least pass the test relatively well.

Su Yi's poor mental state is the best explanation.

But in this way, in the emperor's mind, Su Yi was really not good at literary talent, and the first place in the provincial literary examination was obtained through some mysterious fraud.

The emperor won't care about it now, but it will be difficult to do so in the future.

In short, Su Yi cannot be ruined tonight.

Two and a half hours passed.

Some candidates have already written it.

The whole process of Zhang Yuzhao is flowing and full of literary thoughts. It only took one and a half hours to finish writing it. I read it myself and found it completely enjoyable. It is absolutely a top-notch work.

Next, candidates one after another completed the examination papers.

They all started to put down their pens.

Finally, all candidates finished.

Only Su Yi still struggled to write, as if writing every word was very difficult.

Finally, all the candidates' eyes fell on him.

Some people were full of appeals. They could see that Su Yi was too seriously injured. At this time, he was racking his brains desperately and felt like he was running out of energy.

A full hour and a half passed.

Everyone sat there for an hour and a half, and finally finished writing.

Although the emperor was resting, he was also restless.

After listening to Zenglu's report, the emperor became less and less confident in Su Yi's test papers.

Writing is so slow and difficult.

The so-called good articles are all written in one go.

However... the policy question Su Yi wrote at this time is the best in the world. .

Because what he copied was Weng Tonghe's historical examination question.

He knew this policy question by heart and could recite it backwards and forwards.

There is no need to conceive for an hour or two, isn’t it just a performance?

Every word is difficult to write, and it is also a performance. You are so seriously injured and have a high fever, this is how it should be.

Regarding this policy issue, he not only knew about the number one winner, Weng Tonghe, but also about the side issue of Sun Yuwen, who was ranked second in the list.
Whichever one you want to copy, just copy that one.

But if you want to copy, you must copy the top pick.

Next, Su Yi seemed to have exhausted all her energy, writing faster and faster, and becoming more excited as she wrote.

Finally, Su Yi finished writing the last word.

Then he staggered, and two nosebleeds dripped on the exam paper.

Then, the whole person fainted.

It seems that after writing this policy paper, the fuel is exhausted.

"Hurry, doctor, hurry!"

"Carry Brother Su Yi for treatment."

Immediately, four eunuchs came over, lifted Su Yi's couch, and headed towards the Tai Hospital not far away.

"Don't touch my exam papers, don't touch my exam papers."

Before falling into coma, Su Yi repeatedly got angry and told him not to touch his exam papers.

Then, he completely fainted.

The imperial doctor touched his forehead, which was surprisingly high.

"Nonsense, nonsense, we shouldn't retake the test tonight. My brother's injury has recurred and he has a high fever again. Trouble, trouble!"

People on the left and right were shocked.

After the exam, Su Yi's nostrils started to bleed, and she fainted, completely exhausted.

Everyone was affected by this scene.

................................................

The emperor and the minister of judgment entered the Yangxin Hall again.

This way there is no need to name or copy.

The standards of the judging team are unprecedentedly high. There are several Guangda bachelors, and they are all the most knowledgeable in this era.As the examiner of the provincial examination, Lin Kui is already of high standard, but on this occasion, he can only be regarded as quite average.

But precisely because of this, the requirements of this group of marking officers are also surprisingly high.

Zhang Yuzhao and other [-] candidate representatives are considered to be the most outstanding students. Among them are not only the top ten in the current provincial examination, but also the candidates for next year's examination.

Therefore, tonight's re-examination not only has high standards for the examiners, but also extremely high standards for the candidates. It is almost a mini version of the imperial examination.

Start judging!
Put Su Yi's test paper last because it is the most important.

The entire judging process was silent.

After one person reads it, he immediately hands it to the next person.

"Hey!" They sighed and shook their heads.

This group of bachelors' vision is really too high. None of the previous examination papers met their requirements.

Until Zhang Yuzhao's policy question appeared, a certain bachelor shouted: OK!
Then, several examiners circulate it to each other.

Ok, good, good!
Everyone praised him one after another, and the first eye-catching policy question appeared tonight.

Then, it became dull again, and even some bachelors instinctively threw it to the ground after reading it.

The examinees nearby were seen trembling, and the eunuch Zenglu's expression changed even more.These bachelors are so strict and have such high demands. Brother Su Yi's advice will be reduced to nothing after a while.

Immediately afterwards, another bachelor directly praised the case.

"Everyone, take a look at this policy question. It's so good. It's enough to directly determine the top pick. I didn't expect to see such an amazing article."

"Sun Yuwen!"

Then, all the bachelors put down their examination papers and rushed to read Sun Yuwen's policy questions first.

Almost everyone was amazed.

OK!
Wonderful!
"After reading this policy question, I don't want to read anything else."

"Yes, no more, no more!"

"This kind of policy question can barely be called Wenquxing!"

Although there is not a single word mentioned about Su Yi, every word mentions Su Yi.

Several bachelors read Sun Yuwen's policy questions over and over again, and they were full of admiration.

Everyone rushed to circulate it and praised it full of praise.

Then, the entire Yangxin Hall suddenly became deserted.

Everyone seemed to have practiced the secret formula.

Because, in the end, Su Yi's Ce Wen was the only one left.

This group of top scholars began to reject each other.

"Brother Wen Qing, come here, come here!"

"Brother Du Han, it's you who come."

"Brother Bai Jun, it's you who come."

Everyone was declining, pushing Su Yi's test papers around, and Zenglu's face suddenly became very ugly.

What do you mean, do you want to stamp Brother Su Yi's face on the ground?

Today's Su Yi can be regarded as the public enemy of all officials in a sense. First of all, the emperor suppressed all officials for his sake. Although everyone obeyed, they felt very unhappy.

Moreover, the emperor obviously wants Su Yi to pass the re-examination tonight, so even if he is poor, he still has to hold his nose and say yes. Such flattery will ruin his reputation.

Tonight, Su Yi looked like he was fighting for his life, making it clear that he was going to win miserably.

All signs indicate that the level of Su Yi's policy is worrying.

He said that he felt sorry for his conscience by letting Su Yi pass the reexamination.

If he said that he would not let Su Yi pass the re-examination, he would offend the emperor.

If you are in a dilemma, simply avoid it like a snake or a scorpion.

The emperor looked at everyone pushing and shoving, and his face suddenly became dull.

However, he did not dare to look at it himself.

According to this situation, Su Yi's policy question will obviously be ugly. He, the emperor, can't end it personally.

Then he will also become a laughing stock.

For Su Yi to pass the re-examination, it can only be decided by the examiner, who is a minister, and then the emperor agrees.

Only in this way can it be justified.

The emperor asked: "Who will judge Su Yi?"

No one spoke to the officials below.

The emperor asked: "Who volunteered to judge Su Yi?"

Everyone humbled themselves and said that their level was not high.

The emperor suddenly felt even more embarrassed. Looking at Su Yi lying unconscious on the side, he felt even more sympathetic.

It's a pity that Tian Yugong is not qualified yet, otherwise he would be willing to judge the case for Su Yi and let Su Yi pass.

Suddenly, the emperor's eyes showed anger and said: "Who is willing to judge Su Yi?!"

"Do you still need to let me do it myself? Don't you think you are very knowledgeable? Don't you even dare to judge the papers?"

At this time, a person suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to judge Su Yi's case."

It turned out to be Wo Ren!

The top scholar of the dynasty.

When the emperor saw it, he thought to himself, "It's broken!"
This Japanese man has a resolute temper, would rather break than give in, and has a very bad temper. He is not willing to tell a lie that goes against his heart.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to offend the emperor. As a result, Xianfeng took advantage of King Yerqiang and directly dismissed Woren from his job.

This person would rather lose his official position than obey. How could he let Su Yi pass against his will.

Therefore, the emperor felt bad.

Wo Ren said: "I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes, and I will definitely speak out. If Su Yi's article is not good, I will not care about his great contribution to rescuing the driver, nor the seriousness of his injuries. I will definitely judge him to fail the re-examination."

"If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You can't change it for any reason."

"So, my actions may embarrass the emperor and ruin Su Yi's reputation. I apologize first!"

Immediately, everyone in the court cheered.

Lord Woren, you are so strong!

We dare not offend the emperor, but you do. You are willing to stand up and uphold justice in the world.

Then, Wo Ren directly reached out and asked for Su Yi's test papers.

The emperor was immediately held up in the air. After a long while, he said, "Show him."

Zenglu handed Su Yi's policy question to Woren, and then everyone waited to watch the show, waiting for this upright and upright scholar.

When he first read this policy question, Wo Ren frowned. This wording was so bad that all impression points were deducted.

But after reading the last two paragraphs, his heart trembled slightly.

This, this is something.

After reading a few hundred words, Wo Ren's eyes widened and he paused, looking at the unconscious Su Yi in disbelief.

God, God that?

Is this good?

No, no, I have to start from the beginning and see if I have sympathy because he was injured.

Is it because your initial expectations were too low that you felt amazing?

So, he started watching from the beginning again.

It doesn't matter at this glance. Only then did I realize that this policy question is so exquisite from the first paragraph.

The more you look at it, the better.

The more I read, the more enlightening I am.

The more I look at it, the more comfortable I feel.

Actually... is it so good?
It turns out that Zhang Yuzhao's level is high enough, but compared with this policy question, it is nothing.

And Sun Yuwen's policy question had just amazed the entire court.

But, it’s not as good as Su Yi’s piece.

It's so good.

This, what level is this?
This is a level that sweeps the examination room. The first place in the provincial examination is more than well-deserved.
It doesn’t matter whether you come first in the general examination or the palace examination!

Oh my God? Is there really such a genius in this world?

When everyone saw Wo Ren's reaction, they couldn't help but secretly wonder, is Su Yi's policy so bad?It made the great scholars of that time tremble. Is it so unsightly?

Was Su Yiwen's provincial examination really a result of fraud?

As for Wo Ren, he has watched it for the third time.

Damn it, after watching it for the third time, it turned out to be even better than the second time?

Then, Wo Ren couldn't bear it any longer, he was completely excited, and his whole body was shaking with excitement.

He began to read Su Yi's policy question in public.

The voice rises and falls from low to high.

Full of feelings, full of emotions.

Su Yi's policy question for the number one scholar immediately resounded throughout the court.

The voice grew louder and more impassioned.

For a moment, everyone in the court was completely stunned.

Everyone listened mesmerizedly, and everyone trembled slightly.

Exactly a quarter of an hour later, Wo Ren finished reciting, and still lingered over his thoughts.

Then, Wo Ren knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, Su Yiwen ranks first in the provincial examination, and he deserves it!"

"Whoever dares to say that Su Yiwen cheated in the provincial examination from now on will be a shameless person and my enemy!"

"Su Yi is not only the first in the provincial examination, but also the first in the general examination and the palace examination."

"Brother Su Yi, Wenquxing from the sky is well deserved!"
