Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 148 Two Exams
"Your Majesty, the lock that sealed the test questions is intact, and the seal is also intact.

But the seal on the inkpad changed a little bit.

The minister concluded that someone must have touched it, and someone had read the test questions. "

Hearing this news, Li Ke Longyan was furious!
He personally sealed the test questions with ink pads and stamped his seal on the ink pads.

Leaving aside the locks and seals, let’s just say that if someone took apart the ink pad, Indonesia would not be what it was before.

The stamp on it will be deformed.

On the day of the test, the test questions were changed!
This is definitely a big deal!

Li Ke hurriedly took people to the imperial study room, opened the box and saw that the seal was intact.

Gently tore off the seal, and took out the sealing paper inside. At first glance, the ink pad and the seal on the envelope-like sealing paper seemed to have nothing unusual.

But if you look closely, the seal on the ink pad is obviously a little deformed.

After the seal on the ink pad was stamped by Li Ke, no one touched it.

So there is absolutely no possibility of deformation!

The only possibility is that the test paper has been tampered with.

Li Ke's face was gloomy, and he turned to the imperial guards and special forces guarding the imperial study room and said:
"During this period, has anyone approached?"

The Imperial Guards and Special Forces shook their heads one after another, saying that they did not find anything unusual.

Li Ke frowned, thinking carefully for a while.

The palace is heavily guarded, and the special forces and imperial guards outside the imperial study are not ordinary people.

The imperial guards are all warriors with cultivation base, and almost all of them are second-rank warriors.

As for those special forces, although their force value is not as high as these imperial guards who practice martial arts.

But they have all received professional training, and it is absolutely difficult to escape their feelings even at the slightest sign of trouble!
Therefore, under the guards of their two groups, ordinary people would never be able to get close to this imperial study room, let alone come in to peek at the test papers.

Stand there and think carefully for a while!

Li Kecai said lightly:

"The opponent must be a master, at least a martial artist above the fifth rank, or even more powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to do this. To this extent."

Behind him, Li Qingfeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said:

"Your Majesty, this will be the imperial examination soon, and the test paper has been tampered with. What should I do?"

Li Ke is also worried about this matter.

The test paper has been passive. If the imperial examination continues at this time, then the other party has read the test paper. Whether he is taking the test himself or leaking the content of the test paper to others, it will result in cheating.

In this way, the imperial examination will become unfair.

It also loses its original meaning.

It is obviously unrealistic for a person who has not learned much and gained fame by cheating to work for the court.

And afterwards, it's hard to tell who was cheating.

After all, there is no unified answer to such ancient examination questions.

Those who got the exam questions would at most just go back and supplement their knowledge in this area.

But after passing the exam, this knowledge does exist in the other party's mind.

You can't say that people who answer the questions well have to answer well by cheating.

So this is a very headache.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ke finally decided to change the topic.

Although time is limited.

But this is the only way at present!
So Li Ke immediately ordered to ask the Minister of Rites to summon the two servants of the Ministry of Rites, and found several learned officials in the court.

Let these officials recompile a set of test questions in the imperial study.

At the same time, this began to lead people to investigate things about leaked test questions.

It's just a secret investigation, don't startle the snake!
Moreover, Li Ke ordered that this general examination be changed to two rounds of examinations.

He prepared to use the previous exam papers as the first round of exams as bait.

The recompiled test questions later will be used as the second test.

In this way, if the two test papers are compared, if the first answer is very good, but the second answer is not very good.

Then there is suspicion that it is the person who got the answers to the first batch of test papers.

This facilitates subsequent investigations.

The specific results are still based on the second exam.

So the test is still going on.

The leaked test papers were still used to answer questions for the students.

The answering time is three days. After three days, the second batch of test papers has also been researched.

After reading it, Li Ke felt that there was no problem, so he sealed it up again and put it in his bedroom.

This time, the second batch of test papers compiled was unknown to the outside world, and almost no one in the court knew about it.

Only the Ministry of Rites and a few special officials know, so it is almost impossible for this test question to be leaked.

If it is leaked, then the ministers who participated in compiling the test papers are the most suspicious.

Therefore, these ministers are tight-lipped and never dare to disclose the compilation of the test papers.

Three days later, the first exam was over, and logically speaking, it was just this exam.

But when all the students finished the exam, they received a message that there would be two imperial examinations this time.

This caught all the students by surprise!
But since it is the court's decision, there is nothing to say.

So the second round of new test questions continued!
Also for three days.

At the same time, the first test paper was already in the palace, being reviewed by the ministers of the Ministry of Rites.

Take out some test papers with better answers and list them as suspects!

As long as these students who answered well did not have particularly good grades in the second exam!
Then he was really locked as a suspect.

I have to say that this is the best way and the best way to screen!
