Dao fruit.

"The sage paper can guide other people's minds and touch the human order. It is extremely precious, but the paper in my hand is just in a trance, and it is not the same as the feeling back then."

When Zheng Quan was studying, he also came into contact with sage paper. Although he had never written on it, he felt the pure thoughts in it at close range. However, it has been a long time and his memory is vague. He just vaguely noticed that it was different from the one in his hand. .

"Those who use this paper to write articles, do they want to use this to impress the public and get a ranking? It is tantamount to cheating to change the paper without permission. No one would think of such a simple truth."

The more he recalled, the more puzzled Zheng Quan became.

"However, regardless of whether this is a sage paper or not, the person who can take out this paper will not be an ordinary person..."

After thinking about it, he flipped through the examination paper and glanced at his name and place of origin.

"Jiannan Dao Qiu Yan?"

This name, at first glance, was no stranger to him, but when he thought about it carefully, he immediately remembered the rumors about Qiu Yan.

"Could it be Ma Xiangguo's closed-door disciple according to the rumors? My good fellow, Xiangguo's disciple, it's no wonder that he can produce this extraordinary paper, but it's too blatant! Doesn't he know that the current examiner is Ma Xiangguo's political opponent?"

With speculation, Zheng Quan also knew the seriousness, even if Qiu Yan was to be convicted of cheating, he couldn't make the decision.

When dealing with people in the officialdom, you don't have to follow others. Zheng Quan, as an official of the imperial court, can contact Ma Yang, so there is no need to make good friends with Qiu Yan, but if he is dismissed, it will be an offense, and the nature is completely different.

"The matter of offending people cannot be decided lightly. Even if Ma Xiangguo doesn't say anything, someone will come to suppress him in order to please Shangguan, which is tantamount to digging a hole for himself. There is nothing to do."

Thinking of this, Zheng Quan shook his head, sent the two trumpet soldiers away, turned around and first obfuscated the examination papers, then asked the subordinate staff to transcribe them, and then reviewed them to see if there were no omissions.Holding the original examination paper, he walked towards the wing room.

In the wing room, several fellow examiners were still drinking tea and chatting.It was fun, these fellow examiners were actually not very old, and many of them were Jinshi who had taken two subjects.

dong dong!

The sudden knock on the door stopped the voices in the room.

"Who?" The older official asked aloud.I can tell.He has some prestige among the crowd.

"Reporting to Mr. Hu, my subordinate Zheng Quan, I have something to say. I have an exam paper in my hand. Something went wrong. I want to take it in and show it to you to decide how to deal with it." Zheng Quan's voice came from outside the door.

"Zheng Quan? Exam papers? Someone handed in the papers so early?" The official surnamed Hu frowned.Shaking his head, he said, "Even if the person who handed in the papers in advance has problems, you shouldn't let us look at the papers in advance, just make up your own mind."

The same examiner must cooperate with the examiner to mark the papers. It is not easy to read the papers directly before the papers are labeled and transcribed. Of course, sometimes this rule is not strictly followed. Watch the candidates answering the questions directly, but the general examination is held in the capital, so you have to set some examples.

Zheng Quan also knew this truth, but the current facts are not for him to make a decision alone, so he did not flinch, and said bluntly: "This exam paper is very involved, and the situation is very special, but it has been blurred. The meaning of the official is that I hope that several adults can invite Wang Xiang to come over and take a look at this test paper together before making a decision."

"Is there such a thing? Do you want to invite the examiner to come?" The official surnamed Hu tasted the unusual atmosphere when he heard this, "If that's the case, then bring it here."

After saying this, Zheng Quan outside the door heaved a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked into the house.

In the room, several fellow examiners sat upright in their seats, maintaining their majesty, but from their faces, they could see a little curiosity, and they were a little concerned about the examination paper in Zheng Quan's hand.

"What's going on? Tell me." The official surnamed Hu glanced lightly and asked.

Zheng Quan didn't say much, he turned the exam paper over and turned to the one on policy theory.

As soon as the test paper is turned over, the side full of words can no longer be seen, only a blank space on the back of the paper can be seen.

However, Qiu Yan's handwriting penetrated the back of the paper, and even if he turned it over, he could still see a lot of ink marks, and he could still feel a trace of blood, but it was no longer strong after all.

"Huh?" Luo Zhongjie, who was closest to Zheng Quan, was the first to cast his gaze over it. He was in a trance for a moment, and felt that a scene seemed to rise on the picture, with cities, streets and alleys, and merchants.

But at the next moment, he regained his composure and shook his head violently, as if he wanted to shake the illusory scene out of his head. After doing this, Luo Zhongjie finally settled down, but when he looked around, he noticed other people's Her expression seemed a little dazed, and what was revealed in those pairs of eyes was a sense of confusion.

"What's going on? Could it be..." Surprised, Luo Zhongjie looked at the test paper again. Because he was on guard, he was not distracted again, but he noticed the color of the paper, and couldn't help but reach out to rub it. The color changed greatly, revealing the color of horror.

"Sage paper? Which lunatic is this? Use the sage paper to answer the question!" Shocked, he growled in a low voice, and the sound came out, waking up many fellow examiners around him. Afterwards, these people realized the meaning of the words, and their expressions Lian Bian, one by one got up and came, checking the quality of the paper one after another, and then looked different.

Among this group of people, some have come into contact with the sage paper, and some have only heard about it. Those who have been in contact with the sage paper all have shocked expressions when they touch the test paper, but some of them have doubts on their faces. It seems that something has not been figured out.

And those who have never been in contact with the sage paper, when they saw the reactions of other people, they all felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that things were not simple.

"This is not a sage paper!"

After a few breaths, the official surnamed Hu suddenly said decisively: "Besides, no matter what the origin of this piece of paper is, it means that this candidate is carrying paper with him, trying to use this plausible paper to compete for the ranking. Unfortunately, he made the wrong idea!"

The official surnamed Hu seems to have a deep background. Although he was confused for a while, but now that he has recovered, he is very calm. He quickly determined the matter and issued a solution.

Seeing Zheng Quan, he frowned slightly, but he wanted to remind him that he knew that the official surnamed Hu was a member of the old party. If Qiu Yan was usually dismissed, he might be called a provocateur, but it was hard to reveal Qiu Yan. Name.

"This is the end of the matter. If Qiu Yan is dismissed, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I have tried my best."

When Zheng Quan was struggling, Luo Zhongjie said unexpectedly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I know Master Hu's thoughts. If you enter the Tribute Academy with a sage paper, the clay sculpture will be different when you pay homage to the most holy teacher." Response is just a characteristic of this piece of paper, I have experienced it myself just now, so I cannot ignore it, if the examinee is wronged, and the talented person is missed, it will inevitably be written down in history and become the laughing stock of future generations?"

He calmed down a little, and some memories came to his mind.

"You..." The officer surnamed Hu's face became gloomy after hearing this. He didn't expect Luo Zhongjie to reveal the secret so easily.

Luo Zhongjie narrowed his eyes: "There should be something hidden behind this examination paper. Although it is different from the sage paper, it is not necessarily brought in by others. Master Hu, don't forget that the sage paper is not a natural achievement, but the day after tomorrow. It came out, according to the rumors, didn’t the original method be discovered by Daxian accidentally?”

"Don't tell me, do you think this candidate can read and dye paper?" Hearing this sentence, the official surnamed Hu sweated on his forehead, as if he had thought of something incredible.

Luo Zhongjie smiled slightly: "It seems that you understand the reason. Don't end up becoming a laughingstock of history for the sake of suppressing dissidents. A truly talented person, even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination, can still write a book and pass it on to future generations. You make the decision alone It’s alright, don’t make this room full of colleagues troublesome! Not to mention anything else, since the exam papers have been delivered and the paper is found to be abnormal, I know it’s a big deal, so I should inform Wang Xiang and let him make the decision!”

After he finished speaking, the others could hear some clues, thinking of some lessons learned in the history books, there were many similar things recorded in the books, most of them were blind to Taishan when facing the great sage, and in the future, they became the laughing stock of others .

Thinking about it this way, both the old party and the new party acquiesced to Luo Zhongjie's proposal.

"We should be more cautious about this matter."

As a result, Zheng Quan muttered to himself, he knew that the owner of the examination papers was a potential old party, but now, it was the old party's official surnamed Hu who wanted to suppress it, while the new party's Luo Zhongjie was behind it, which is extremely weird.

However, Zheng Quan never thought that the reason why these two behaved like this was because they saw a sentence through the ink on the back of the test paper——

Money for the world!

They only saw a part of the examination paper, but they could also see the tendency of the candidates from between the lines.

The two had seen similar words when Wang Fu used them to answer a letter of remonstrance. This book was not circulated among the people, but was answered by the examinee. The meaning behind this is self-evident.

The official surnamed Hu originally intended to suppress and depose, but Luo Zhongjie used the example of blindness to Taishan to arouse other people's minds, and it is no longer easy to go against public opinion.

"This candidate is obviously inclined to the new method, and it is very likely that he is Wen Zhizhen. If you want to come to this examination room, if the paper is dyed on paper, he is the most likely person." Luo Zhongjie sneered, confident.

However, I don't know how Luo Zhongjie will feel when he learns the identity of the candidate.

However, right now they haven't had the time to delve into it, but they want to skip the process and send this test paper to Wang Fu.

When the examination paper was put on the table, the black-faced Xiangguo was still puzzled, but when he touched the paper, his expression was horrified!

"Who did this? The common exam papers were infected with the thoughts of humanity?"

"Is this paper really spoiled by human reading for a while?" Hearing this sentence, Luo Zhongjie and the official surnamed Hu who came to deliver the papers both gasped! (To be continued..)
