The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 702 Imperial Examination Questions (3)
Eunuch Jian looked at Tong Shangshu who was motionless below, and also felt that Tong Shangshu had done too much, and was about to step forward to scold him, but was stopped by Boqing's gesture, so he had to retreat behind Boqing resentfully.

Seeing this scene, Liang Xueshi was secretly proud. He got up and saluted Boqing who seemed to be respectful, turned around and said to the candidates standing beside the table: "The test papers are already in the drawer of the table. You can take out the test papers after you are seated." , after the chief examiner announces the start, you can answer the questions."

Because of what happened just now, Tong Shangshu felt a little complacent, secretly glanced at the woman above, his complexion darkened instantly.

At this time, Boqing was half lying in the chair in a very lazy posture, with a coquettish smile on her lips, and felt a little uneasy in her heart for no reason.

I had no choice but to tell myself secretly that she was just a little girl, no matter how smart she was, her experience was limited.

Ginger is still old and spicy, at this moment...

"Void roll!"

Suddenly, a candidate screamed, and he stood up, staring at them.

When Tong Shangshu heard the same thing, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart.

After Liang Xueshi heard the sound, he quickly got up from his seat. Before he got to the bottom, he heard another candidate shouting loudly: "What's the matter, there is not a single word on my test paper."

Afterwards, other examinees also shouted: "My God, it's really a blank paper. There are no questions. How can I answer the questions?"

The other officials were also shocked when they heard the words. This is something that has never happened in the history of imperial examinations. Could it be that... they secretly looked at the figure on the high platform.

Taking the exam paper from the student, Liang Xueshi was also dumbfounded, then turned the exam paper over, but still couldn't find a word, not knowing whether the matter was good or bad, secretly glanced at Tong Shangshu on it.

I saw Tong Shangshu's finger pointing quietly at Lu Haoran, Liang Xueshi immediately understood, held up the examination paper, walked up to Lu Haoran respectfully, and pretended to be puzzled: "My lord, look, I don't know What happened, all the test papers turned into blank papers."

After Lu Haoran took the examination paper and glanced at it, the corners of his mouth twitched. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the woman above say softly, "Don't be surprised. According to the old practice of the imperial examination in previous years, the examination questions should be printed on the examination paper in advance. , but this hall believes that the questions can be dictated directly, so after discussing with the prime minister, it is decided that from now on, the test questions will not be printed on the test paper in advance."

A cunning flashed in the thin eyes.

Lu Haoran was very cooperative and said, "I don't think it's necessary to waste manpower and material resources on this."

What's more, the topics of the imperial examinations are determined by His Majesty, and apart from those who are in charge of the imperial examinations and printing, not even the chief examiner knows.

It's blank paper, which means that the exam questions can be changed at any time. Tong Shangshu, Liang Xueshi and others didn't expect Lu Haoran to come up with this trick, and secretly gritted their teeth in anger.

Fortunately, His Majesty had already drawn up the exam questions before retreating. If he wanted to change the questions, he would have to alarm His Majesty. There was no reason for His Majesty the Princess to do so.

Lu Haoran suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Your Majesty has a decree, Emperor Shang's three-year imperial examination questions are..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly an eunuch hurried up to Lu Haoran with a tray.

The eyes of the audience were instantly attracted, and there was a yellow scroll on it, which seemed to be an imperial edict, and the eunuch said: "Please read the imperial edict, Your Excellency."

Lu Haoran's face froze, he took a sneaky look at Boqing, took out the imperial decree with doubts, and read it solemnly: "Your Majesty has decided that this year's imperial examination questions are..." Before he finished reading a sentence, he immediately stopped and saw the imperial decree behind The corner of Lu Haoran's mouth twitched even more.

Everyone also noticed Lu Haoran's strangeness, and they also had doubts in their eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty has a decree. This year's imperial examination will be given by Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager on the spot."

Hearing this, the flirtatious and lazy body sat up straight, and there was a moment of blankness on the face, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "You really deserve to be an old fox." It was long ago that those old officials would do this, so the emperor secretly gave her Leave a decree.

Looking at Tong Shangshu and the others with ugly expressions like eating dead flies, they smiled flirtatiously and flirtatiously, helped Eunuch Jian stand up from the chair, and walked down step by step.

The others looked at the graceful and elegant woman, and their hearts were beating faster. No one knew what problems the woman in front of them would have in a sudden emergency. Just when they were worried, a charming voice sounded.

"This hall is on the road to Jiahuaxia. I once heard some candidates say that because this hall grew up beside His Majesty Jingdi, his behavior is quite shocking. His Majesty Jingdi likes to discuss things on the facts, so this palace will follow everyone. As I said, let’s make a question about the current situation in the world, everyone please pay attention to the question.”

Boqing's voice is not loud, because it is made with internal force, so it can be heard clearly from every corner, and all the people present are watching her intently, for fear that they will miss something if they are distracted for a while.

Among the examinees who walked leisurely and leisurely, said in a flinty tone: "The general trend of the world is determined now. Since it is a situation brought about by the joint attack of the two dynasties, there may be two results in the end. One, the world will be divided into two; The world is unified, so..."

Boqing walked all the way back to the high platform, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The topic of this hall is: choose one of the results, and write a strategy for governing the country for His Majesty, before the sun sets within a limited time."

His eyes swept over everyone, and a cunning flashed in the depths of his eyes.
