Chapter 589 As expected
The ministers expressed their opinions in a step-by-step manner, and when it was time to quickly retreat, the hall finally announced those young people to enter the hall to face the saint.

The young men waiting outside were not standing in the sun. The court attendants treated them kindly and moved them to a shady place when the sun came out so that they would not suffer from heatstroke before they met the holy.

The three injured were also carried into the hall on a stretcher. At a glance, they were all young people with weak crowns, young people in full bloom, at an age that should be full of energy and vigor, but all of them were listless and listless. When saluting collectively, the tone of voice seems procrastinated, and it is not as powerful as the civil and military salutes of the Manchu Dynasty.

All the ministers felt strange, and felt that this was not the spirit that young people should have. Many people secretly raised their eyes to observe Long Yan, and saw that the saint on the dragon chair was already showing displeasure.

It's understandable that the three wounded and sick were out of breath, and the others were not injured, and they all spoke weakly, and such a big matter as the face saint couldn't cheer them up excitedly.

These old and cunning ministers kept their expressions on their faces, and they were muttering in their hearts.

"What's the matter? After standing in the sun for a while, it all faded away? Is your body so weak at such a young age?"

The saint asked with a serious face, his voice full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

"Returning to Your Majesty, we are not exposed to the sun. We are lucky to see Long Yan for the first time in this life. We are overjoyed and a little dazed."

Finally, there was a clever person in the crowd, and quickly smoothed things over, but after speaking, he lowered his head and secretly yawned with the gesture of salute and the cover of his sleeves.

"Well, there is some truth in what you said. Come forward, what's your name? Do you have a reputation?"

The saint's expression softened immediately, and he asked the young man to come out and speak.

The man shook his body and stepped forward quickly.

"Return to Your Majesty, Huang Dawei, a grassroots man, is a scholar."

"Oh? Did you study hard for Qiuwei?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, studying is a lifelong career, and I never slack off."

"Well, very good! As a scholar, this is what you should do! What books do you read most often? Which ones have you read familiarly? Which paragraphs are the most impressive? Recite it to me?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the most impressive part of Cao Min is... is... is..."

Huang Dawei's voice stopped here, his tongue was spinning in his mouth, but he couldn't say the following, and suddenly he couldn't recite a sentence of the most experienced article in the past.

The sage and civil and military officials were waiting for his endorsement with great interest, but they saw that he was stuck, as if suddenly aphasic and forgot to speak.

"What? After reading books for so many years, I can't even memorize the most familiar passages?" The sage's expression dropped again, and he recalled Bai Kou's words relayed by the prince in his mind. The living example of peacocks damaging the brain is in sight.

"Caomin can recite! Can recite! That's... that...that..."

Huang Dawei was sweating profusely, stuttering and barely reciting a few sentences. As a result, all the ministers present were in an uproar. They didn't believe that this was the talent that a scholar who worked hard for Qiu Wei should have. In the chattering discussion, some people questioned Huang Dawei's Is the fame obtained by cheating in the examination room?

This matter can be big or small, if it involves fraud in the examination room, then there will be a group of officials in jail, exiled, exiled, and ransacked their homes.

The sage's face became more and more ugly, and he sternly told Huang Dawei to shut up, and casually ordered another young man to let him out, and asked him about his achievements, and he was also a scholar, so he pointed out an article for him to recite.

This person was able to recite fluently at first, opening his mouth to come, but he just finished reciting the first paragraph, and then he stuttered and couldn't connect with the rest of the content. Immediately, his whole body shook like chaff, knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging for help. Saint forgive me.

The saint no longer asked these standing people, but instead asked the three lying on the stretcher. They were the sons of the court ministers, and their father was in the early court queue, but the saint pointed to a few articles instead. None of the three could recite even one chapter in its entirety.

Civil and military officials gradually stopped discussing, and the eyes of the treacherous and cunning adults turned to Gu Yun'an, the Duke of Ye who had never said a word. The Duke stood there calmly, as if he was waiting for the current farce to end.

With the brain and flexibility to ponder in his heart, the saint really wants to trouble Gu Yun'an?Why does the trend of this situation seem to be that the saint wants to support Ye Guogong?Could it be that today's scene was actually a trap?

And the fathers of these three young men were already standing at the forefront with sweat all over their faces. Beads of sweat dripped down their cheeks one by one, unable to utter a single word of self-defense. Remind the sage that the purpose of summoning these young people today is to confront Lord Ye. The sage wants to uphold justice for them and demand compensation from Bai Kou for hurting others.

The face of the saint is getting worse and worse. These people below are all young students with great prospects. The most basic articles are completely forgotten.

"What's the matter with you all? Did you buy your fame?" The saint was furious.

"Your Majesty calm down." All the ministers urged.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" The young people exclaimed in panic.

"Your Majesty, calm down! The dog's fame was really tested by himself! He has never cheated, please learn from your majesty!" If the three adults were really frightened, the consequences of cheating would be disastrous.

"Mingjian? How else do you need to learn? These people can't answer anything when they ask, how can I understand?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" The ministers persuaded again, and Eunuch Xi also picked up the teacup on the long table and handed it over carefully.

The saint took a breath, took a few sips of water from the teacup.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall eased, some of the young people below appeared strange, shaking violently, sweating heavily, sweating like rain, pale, eyes dull, and some twitched.

"Hey, what's wrong with him?!" The few ministers who were closer to him were the first to discover the situation and screamed, but they didn't dare to help him.

"Is he epileptic?"

"Hurry up and declare the imperial physician." The sage is high above and sees the most clearly. Some people can't hold on and finally become addicted to drugs. He hastily poured down his teacup and ordered.

Soon, the imperial doctor who had been waiting outside came in with a medicine box on his back. After careful observation for a while, he said with certainty that it was not epilepsy, but it was difficult to judge what kind of disease it was. Back to the Tai Hospital for a detailed examination.

Just as the saint was about to grant permission, the man fell on all fours and struggled to crawl towards his companions.

"Smoke! Give me a smoke! Give me a puff! Quick, give me a puff!"

"No smoke!"

"Smoke is outside!"

"Don't look for me! I don't have one!"

"You are crazy! What kind of cigarettes do you want here!"

"I know you have it! You have a pipe, give me some! Please! Just a little!"

"Let go of me! Let go of me! It hurts!"

The young people pushed and denied each other, and the man stumbled to the edge of the stretcher. The three of them had been lying on their stomachs but there was nowhere to hide. He just groped on one of them. The father of the other was worried about his son, and stepped forward to pull the man away. .
