The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 321: The ancients also cheated

"Yes. This is for you. I forgot to mention. I am actually Princess Shengping's son-in-law. I'm sorry. I used a fake name a while ago. If there is anything that needs help in the future, I can help. Just arrive Find me as a friend in Princess Shengping Mansion in the outskirts of Chang'an."

Guo Nuan still remembers when he walked out of the essential oil shop.He said this to the shocked Xiao Yao.To be honest, Xiaoyao was not angry at Guo Nuan's deception.More than shock.

After calling Ah Fu who was guarding the carriage.Guo Nuan waved to Xiaoyao with a smile, then stepped into the carriage and left.

Due to the production of essential oils, Guo Nuan handed over the management to the housekeeper of the princess mansion and Abu.He finally got some rest.Back to the room to catch up on sleep.It was already dark when I woke up.Shengping was gently waking him up next to the bed: "My son-in-law. It's time to eat."

The days of leisure can be said to be a bit dull.Except that Guo Nuan had time to accompany Shengping and raise the children.He went to Wang Yueyi in the Hanlin Academy of the Imperial Palace to see the healing status of the wound.

It is said that with the lavender essential oil that Guo Nuan has been providing continuously.The scars on Wang Yueyi's face became lighter and lighter.Uncover the veil.Reveal a beautiful and moving appearance.It's really good.

"Tsk tsk. It seems that in half a month, Yueyi's scar will be gone. Congratulations." Guo Nuan looked at Wang Yueyi's face and skin.Because of the nourishment of essential oils.A little bit of red-purple that was scary in the past.But baby-like suppleness.

"Hehe. I have to thank Brother Guo for inventing the essential oil. The bottle of essential oil outside is selling like crazy. I didn't expect Brother Guo to spend a lot of essential oil for Yueyi's appearance."

Wang Yueyi is slightly younger than Guo Nuan.It is said that Guo Nuan was a young man around 30 years old in his previous life.According to mental age.It is indeed older than Wang Yueyi.It's not surprising to call him big brother.

In the Imperial Academy, Guo Nuan had nothing to do.Occasionally go to the tower to read books.There are many books here.I can't finish watching it for decades.Undoubtedly, Guo Nuan was half-baked in ancient literature.Charged for a while in the Sutra Pavilion.There is indeed a lot in the head.It is said that he watched the moon all night.He also fiddled with a quite literary doggerel.

"Guo Hanlin. There is a decree from the Holy Spirit to invite you to meet in the dining room." One day.Guo Nuan was reading a historical novel with great interest in the library.A young eunuch found him.Said the summons to him in a high-pitched voice.

"Oh. I will come right away." Guo Nuan was a little confused.It was said more than ten days ago.Ever since Daizong, the cheap father-in-law who manages everything every day, blackmailed him for a thousand bottles of essential oils.It has always been Shenlong who sees the beginning but does not see the end.Busy with government affairs, how can I have free time to chat with this son-in-law.Now suddenly looking for him at lunchtime.I guess something is wrong.

Guo Nuan didn't dare to delay.After putting on the official Hanlin bachelor's uniform.He followed the little eunuch to the dining room.

It happened that the singing eunuch was shouting the names of the recipes outside the hall in a loud voice.And the maids who filed in were holding silver trays.Put all kinds of fragrant and hot dishes on the big banquet table.

From a distance, Guo Nuan saw Daizong sitting on the upper seat.Waiting for Guo Nuan.Looks like we're meeting for dinner.

The dishes are very rich.Guo Nuan swallowed subconsciously.What Jiangnan cuisine.Cantonese cuisine.Sichuan cuisine and more.Chicken, duck and fish from all corners of the country.All kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas are available.Guo Nuan's index finger moved wildly.

"Sit down." Seeing Guo Nuan swallowing his saliva, Daizong couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.

In front of Guo Nuan.It is said that Daizong rarely put on airs to this big son-in-law.Take off the dragon robe.It's like a simple and rich shopkeeper in a small shop.He looks fat and white.Long Wei is completely gone.

Guo Nuan is also welcome.Let's have dinner together.Who wouldn't.He grabbed the silver spoon and looked into a pot of soup.Gululu drank a small bowl.

"Guo Aiqing. Do you know why I called you here today?" Daizong raised his beard.He put down the chicken feet that he had just gnawed.Said with a faint smile.

For the emperor's random eating of chicken feet.Guo Nuan is happy.It turns out that the Ninth Five-Year Lord is actually the same as ordinary people.Ordinary people say that filling the stomach with three meals is eating.And the emperor said to eat.It's actually no different.

"I don't know." Guo Nuan also picked up a chicken paw.Chew around.Wipe a mouthful of oil.It caused the maid standing next to her to purse her lips and chuckle.

"I asked you to come here because of the imperial examination." Daizong made a fool of himself.He only half-spoken like an old fox.

Guo Nuan was taken aback.Laugh dumbly.oh.He gets it.In a few days, wouldn't it be the fifth day of the lunar calendar in April?As a modern time traveler.Guo Nuan is still subconsciously accustomed to using the Gregorian calendar to count days.This is also one of the habits he hopes to keep in reality as a memory.He almost forgot that it was May in the Gregorian calendar.The lunar calendar is geometric.

"As the champion of the previous session, Aiqing must have a deep understanding of the imperial examination." Daizong narrowed his eyes.Said lightly.

Guo Nuan recalled the scene when he and Park Shangxuan participated in the imperial examination together two years ago.It seems like yesterday.At that time, Guo Nuan and Park Shangxuan entered the examination room and were locked in a cubicle.Work hard on the exam with thousands of candidates.Those two or three days were definitely a physical exertion match.Not just a series of subjects.Even eating, drinking, and escaping are locked in a small cubicle.It was really hard.When Guo Nuan came out of the examination room, his face was as pale as a tuberculosis ghost.As for Pu Shangxuan, it's not much better.

"Yes. It is indeed vivid in my memory. My minister was able to be the champion among countless outstanding candidates. It is just a bit of luck." Guo Nuan nodded and said humbly.In other words, Guo Nuan never felt that he was the number one pick.I am ashamed of it.In addition to writing a hand of thin gold calligraphy that did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.Poems that were made unintentionally were merely borrowed from latecomers.

"Hehe. Aiqing is being modest." Daizong stopped talking.He smiled lightly and then showed his cards: "I want you to be the invigilator of this scientific examination. What do you like, Aiqing?"

Guo Nuan was confused by Daizong's sudden words.Serve as proctor.This was his first mission.It is the highest level examination for national selection of talents.It is equivalent to the selection of central civil servants in later generations.The importance is obvious.

"Can I do it? I have no experience at all." Guo Nuan asked curiously.

"Haha. Isn't everyone from being inexperienced at the first time to being experienced later? Young people. It is still necessary to take on heavy responsibilities and sharpen them." Daizong raised his head and laughed.His reassuring words swept away the slight pressure in Guo Nuan's heart.

"As the former No. [-] scholar and the status of a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Aiqing is fully qualified to undertake this task." Guo Nuan's voice wafted in Daizong's ear.after eating.He left the palace with a stomach full of delicacies and doubts.

The invigilator is not an official position that is often set up.Usually when the exam is approaching.The emperor temporarily appointed someone to take on the role.This also shows the emperor's trust in the candidate for the invigilator.

Of course, the first thing the invigilator needs to possess is to be fair and not favoritism.It is said that there is a period of time before each scientific examination.Many candidates will go to great lengths to find the invigilator through internal relationships.Then secretly come to the door to bring a lot of money or ask for convenience through the back door.

Daizong knew this son-in-law.Although there are some uninhibited tempers on weekdays.Look at non-mainstream.In short, a weirdo.However, it can be seen from the total resume performance of the former officials.He is a man who is not attached to the powerful.Moreover, Guo Nuan is the heir of the Jiedushi of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang.And the prince consort of the royal family.Prestige.For those who try to fight their fathers and go through the back door.Guo Nuan was not afraid of offending.However, these officials begged for love and gave gifts on their behalf.Undoubtedly, the status is at a subtle and invisible high level.And Guo Nuan, who is not short of money, said.They are all good candidates.Oil and salt do not enter.

Guo Nuan recalled the time when she was in the scientific examination room.in the cubicle.From time to time, I heard a startled sound from outside.All cheating candidates were found and pulled out on the spot.Weeping endlessly.Those with minor cheating circumstances took off their pants and hit the board on the spot.Beat bloody.The heavy ones were immediately shackled by the invigilating officials.Jail criminal law.Heard about previous exams.Dozens of people conspired to cheat.Abnormally rampant.The higher-ups were outraged.Which involved examiners and markers.Most were sent to the frontier.The masterminds were dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and their heads were snapped off.This is also the most serious punishment for cheating in scientific examinations before the Dali period.

But as the saying goes, people die for official careers.Birds die for worms.Bold to death.Starve the faint of heart.Just for that resplendent.A brilliant career.Cheating in the exam room is considered a bird.Go all out.High risk high return.worth it.So with this very logical conclusion.Even though the punishment for cheating in scientific examinations is very strict every year.But there are still plenty of exams that risk cheating.

Guo Nuan knew that being the invigilator was a heavy responsibility.Candidates are these people.The experience and tricks accumulated from cheating every year can be gathered into an encyclopedia of cheating in undergraduate exams.Refurbishment.It is not inferior to the concealment of high-tech cheating in later generations.

But as the saying goes, the height of the devil is one foot and the height of the road is ten feet higher.Candidates have upgraded cheating methods.The invigilating officials also specialize in countermeasures to crack cheating.Guo Nuan is very familiar with cheating techniques.

Guo Nuan recalled what he said when he was in primary school.Because he is very playful.Often do not do homework.Just in time.When I was in elementary school.He was unlucky enough to study on his father's land.

Said who his father was.Guo Nuan was really speechless.His father was the principal of the only elementary school in his town.Guo Nuan is the son of the principal.Naturally, he was sent to his Lao Tzu's school to study.

I remember the moment when I stepped into the school gate for the first time at the age of seven.His old man led him to look at a black-framed eye.The female teacher in a short black business attire said, "Xiao Xie. I will leave my son to you to take care of him. If he causes trouble, you will take this ruler and hit his palm a hundred times."

At that time, the mischievous student Guo Xiao immediately shivered all over.The relationship is that my father found a strict teacher to teach him.But the teacher respectfully agreed again and again.But as the headmaster's son.The teacher still didn't dare to play hard.Give your students a heart-to-heart.This is not corporal punishment.Even if the student's parent is the principal, he can't rely on his privileges to let the teacher treat a student in this way.

After some yang and yin were violated.Xiao Guo Nuan found that this young and lovely beautiful teacher and sister couldn't bear to hit him with this wooden ruler.By the way, this wooden ruler with an inch scale is still an antique handed down from his grandfather who taught him to his father.Listen to Dad proudly say.My father was also very naughty when I was young.Every time I learn calligraphy, I ask my brother.That is, Guo Nuan's little uncle went to write it.After finishing writing, reward uncle with a candy.Later, when the grandfather found out, he was very angry and hit his father's palm with a wooden ruler.Strict father produces high-achieving students.Under the guidance of their grandfather, these Guo Nuan fathers walked out of the mountains by studying.

Now it's in Guo Nuan's area.In order to carry forward his grandfather's excellent tradition of teaching his children, Guo Nuan's father.Still come to this set.But Guo Nuan is not applicable.With the teacher's release.Guo Nuan became more playful.But in order to meet the exam.Show the headmaster's father a look.Guo Nuan came up with many tricks to cheat.

Like many times before the exam.While my dad was out on errands.Guo Nuan, an elementary school student with a schoolbag on his back, would run to the principal's office.The teacher passing by with an honest and polite face said hello.Then the childish voice said: "Teacher, I have to do my homework. Many students in the classroom are too noisy. Can you let me read in Dad's office."

Of course.The teachers praised Guo Nuan for being well-behaved and sensible.When the teacher left.Xiao Guo Nuan smiled cheaply.Immediately lock the door of the office.The curtains are drawn.Like a spy, he rummaged through boxes and boxes in the principal's office to find the final papers for the first grade.

"Quack. I have the final test paper. Now, Xiao Huan will date me to the amusement park to ride a wooden horse and eat marshmallows." At that time, Xiao Guo Nuan copied all the answers to the test paper with a smile.Immediately, all traces of the crime were erased and restored.

Thanks to the answer.Every time Guo Nuan would give support to a few buddies who were struggling on the pass line.Of course, in order to avoid being exposed.Guo Nuan only revealed 90.00% of the answers to his partner.This time I will take the test of ninety points.It's easy for his little buddy to go home and explain to his mother.And he himself only scored 98 points every time.Occasionally plus or minus one or two points.Not greedy at all.

This can be said to be cheating before the exam as a brilliant move.Guo Nuan tried and failed.But after high school.Guo Nuan put away her playful temper.Become diligent and studious.The grades have always been among the best in the grade.All he has not cheated since junior high school.Generally speaking, he is still a good student.

"Quack. Now I'm an invigilator. But I'm looking forward to it." Guo Nuan sighed.After waking up from the memory.He started to work during the task of preparing for the imperial examination.

"Guo brother-in-law. Congratulations. Serve as the invigilator. This king came to see you specially." Just when Guo Nuan was in the princess mansion.Li Shi's brother-in-law suddenly came to visit.

Li Shi with a foxy smile on his face.Let Guo Nuan tighten her chrysanthemum.This guy has nothing to discuss.
