Chapter 662 A Real Man Should Be Like This! Cheating in Front of Me? You Are Still Too Naive!
Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After many twists and turns, the number of people participating in the imperial examinations has not changed much.
From the scene, Ying Zheng has never lost his dignity and easily resolved the means of the people in Guandong.
But Ying Chengjiao said regretfully: "What a pity."
From the results, although the candidates this time came from different forces, the majority of them were children from ordinary people's families. No matter how Ying Zheng finally selected talents, he could not escape the ending of selecting a large number of children from ordinary people as officials.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning."
"As long as this imperial examination goes smoothly, there will be a second, third and even countless imperial examinations in the future."
"Those children from ordinary families will also have the opportunity to enter the court through this road."
"And what we have to do is to keep this road."
Ying Chengjiao was a little disappointed, but Ying Zheng was not disappointed.
Because Ying Zheng adopted the strategy of imperial examinations to check and balance the people in Guandong and gain more talents.
Now that Ying Zheng's goal has been preliminarily achieved, the remaining thing is to make choices and checks and balances based on the candidates' abilities and backgrounds.
Ying Chengjiao nodded and said, "I understand."
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Chengjiao, "They won't have only this strategy."
"For the rest, I'll have to trouble you, my brother."
Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother, I'll be in charge of the examination room."
"My brother will preside over the exam, and then just watch and wait."
Looking at Ying Chengjiao's confident smile, Ying Zheng finally smiled slightly, "Then I'll be at ease."
Stepping forward a few steps, Ying Zheng looked around at all the candidates and spoke loudly, "I'm the King of Qin!"
An assistant minister had already stood among the candidates, spreading Ying Zheng's words to everyone around.
More than 6,000 candidates hurriedly bowed their hands together, "We are here to see the King/King of Qin!"
Ying Zheng's voice was steady and firm, "I'm waiting for you two or three in the Qilin Hall."
"The exam begins!"
There were no inspiring words, nor any promises of high positions and generous salaries.
But just thinking that Ying Zheng would be waiting for him at the pinnacle of the Qin Dynasty's power was enough to make all the ambitious people excited!
More than 6,000 candidates bowed their hands and shouted proudly: "Thank you, King/King of Qin!"
Standing up, Liu Ji saw that Ying Zheng had already withdrawn the five-horse carriage beside him, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe to look.
What caught his eye was the majestic body and tall figure covered by the crown. Every move he made was full of domineering and self-confidence. When he looked around, all the generals who killed people and the important officials who left their names in history bowed their heads.
Hundreds of policemen held swords to clear the way, thousands of guards surrounded him, and important officials and generals surrounded him.
Everyone, even the whole world, was rewritten because of his will!
Even Liu Ji's lips and tongue could hardly say sarcastic words.
After a few breaths of silence, Liu Ji sighed: "Alas, a real man should be like this!"
Liu Ji also liked this kind of life with people around him.
Therefore, Liu Ji traveled all over the country, visited famous people, and recruited many followers. He was even more famous as a scoundrel.
But being surrounded by dozens of hooligans and being surrounded by hundreds or thousands of important ministers and generals who could decide the life and death of others at will, can this feel the same?
Ying Zheng really strengthened Liu Ji's dreams and fantasies and moved them into reality!
Xiao He hurriedly pulled Liu Ji's sleeve and whispered: "Do you want to die?"
The king, ministers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were not far away, but you are here saying that a real man should be like this?
Why don't you say you want to rebel and usurp the throne!
Liu Ji hurriedly shrank his neck and nodded vigorously: "Brother Xiao is right, right."
Having said that, Liu Ji still looked at the five-horse carriage from time to time, trying to see Ying Zheng again.
Fortunately, there were many people like Liu Ji who looked around secretly, which made Liu Ji seem inconspicuous.
However, the purpose of other people's secret looks was different from Liu Ji's.
Glancing at the gesture made by Mi Li, Han Qiu took a breath and said, "The Xiong family of the surname Mi has made a decision."
"The previous plan failed, it's time for you and me to take action."
Qu Bi nodded slightly, and slowly retreated with Han Qiu and other children of common people.
Dozens of servants hurried over and cried anxiously, "Oh, why did it suddenly become so cold today? My lord, please put on this thick coat!"
"That's right, why do we have to divide the imperial examinations in such a cold winter? It's inevitable that you will catch a cold!"
More than ten servants surrounded Han Qiu and others, blocking the view of others.
A servant quickly took off Han Qiu's clothes, not caring whether the cold wind of early winter would cause Han Qiu to catch a cold.
An inner garment was put on Han Qiu first. Han Qiu lifted it up and saw that the inside of the underwear was actually full of Qin Laws!
Qu Bi whispered: "Inside the inner garment is the full text of the Qin Law."
"Inside the upper garment is the various countermeasures written by the elders in the family based on the current situation in the Qin Dynasty."
"Inside the lower garment is written based on the current situation in the world..."
Soon, Qu Bi, Han Qiu and others changed into a whole set of new clothes.
The inner garment, upper garment, lower garment, and shoes of this set of clothes were all filled with answers!
But when the clothes were tied, outsiders could not see anything!
When the servants dispersed, Han Qiu smiled and said: "In this imperial examination, we must all be the best!"
Their abilities are not outstanding.
But which powerful family does not have a talented person?
Qu Bi also smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
At the gate of the Daqin Military Academy, Ying Chengjiao finally directed his disciples to complete the final arrangements, and shouted in a deep voice: "Examinees enter!"
Confidently, Han Qiu strode forward and was about to enter the venue first.
But someone was much faster than him.
A candidate rushed into the examination room with his legs upside down, but was grabbed by Ying Chengjiao's shoulders and shouted coldly: "Do you think this is your backyard?!"
"After entering, you must first be checked!"
The candidate hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yunyang Tongdan, meet Lord Chang'an!"
"This is Tong's certificate!"
Tongdan put the food box on the ground, presented his certificate with both hands, and waited for Ying Chengjiao to check nervously.
However, Ying Chengjiao did not look at the certificate, but approached Tong Dan and sniffed it, then frowned and asked: "Why is the smell of ink so strong?"
Tong Dan forced a smile and said: "In recent months, I have been with classics all the time, and I have to practice calligraphy every day, so the smell of ink on my body is stronger."
Ying Chengjiao looked at Tong Dan up and down, and suddenly said: "Take off this person's shirt!"
Tong Dan exaggeratedly took a step back and said in surprise: "Chang'an Jun, what are you going to do?"
"Tong has no interest in Longyang!"
Ying Chengjiao was a little speechless.
This person's acting skills are a bit exaggerated!
But Ying Chengjiao still maintained a cold look and said: "Take it off!"
In the stunned eyes of more than 6,000 candidates in the audience, Ba Fu and Han Fu personally stepped forward and took off Tong Dan's clothes.
After grabbing Tong Dan's clothes, Ying Chengjiao looked through them and sneered, "Good! Very good!"
"It's the first time for the imperial examination, and you have come up with such a sinister plan to deceive the king?"
"Eighth Fu, show this person's clothes to all the candidates!"
Eighth Fu turned Tong Dan's clothes over without hesitation and showed the words on the inside to all the candidates.
Then, the whole audience was in an uproar!
"There are words on the inside of this person's clothes? Is this person trying to cheat with this!"
"I have long said that there are many loopholes in the imperial examination. I never thought that this is only the first time for the imperial examination. How come someone uses it!"
"How dare he? How dare he!"
The imperial examination was the first time that the examiner and the examinee did not communicate directly, and the examinee was tested only with pen and paper.
Before this, the examinee had to face the examiner's face-to-face questioning for a long time from all angles, and there was no possibility of cheating at all.
Therefore, apart from the people of Guandong who were thinking of evil ways from the beginning, almost no scholars thought of cheating.
Tong Dan's clothes really opened the eyes of the candidates!
Ying Chengjiao looked at the man's food box again: "I think you don't just hide words in your clothes, right?"
Tong Dan knelt down and kowtowed, crying sadly: "Chang'an Jun, Tong knows I'm wrong, Tong knows I'm wrong!"
"Please spare my life, Chang'an Jun!"
However, Ying Chengjiao ignored Tong Dan, but opened the food box and picked up a steamed river fish from it.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with this river fish.
But when Ying Chengjiao cut open the fish's belly with a dining dagger, a wooden stick rolled out of the fish's belly!
The candidates who were close couldn't help but widen their eyes, tiptoed to watch Ying Chengjiao break the top of the wooden stick, and poured out a roll of Chang'an paper!
Unrolling the rolled Chang'an paper, Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily:
"I invented Chang'an paper to help people all over the world learn to read and write."
"But I never thought that people like you would use it in such a shameless way!"
"Ba Fu, show this to all the candidates."
"Foolish man, search me!"
"Search well!"
"I want to see how many cheating strategies this person has!"
Ba Fu immediately held up a roll of Chang'an paper and showed it to all the candidates.
All the candidates were dumbfounded by the tiny words written on the paper with rat whiskers.
They swore that they had never seen such small words in their lives!
Liu Ji sighed and said, "This is the first time in the world that there is a strategy for seeking talents by doing questions like the imperial examination."
"This person can come up with so many cheating methods in such a short time."
"This person is also a talent!"
However, Liu Ji praised too early.
Several family soldiers played tricks on Tong Dan, and soon found words and notes in Tong Dan's hair, back door, shoe soles, every piece of clothing and every piece of food!
Looking at the cheat sheets displayed by Ba Fu one by one, Mi Li was stunned, Han Qiu was stunned, and Qu Bi was even more stunned.
Han Qiu and Qu Bi looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the cheating tools they had prepared just now were simply child's play compared to others.
No, to be precise, it was child's play that lagged behind countless versions!
Who would have thought that the answers could be hidden in food, hair, and back door!
Who would have thought that rat whiskers could be used as brushes to write so many words in such a small available space!
They were too embarrassed to say these cheating techniques in front of others!
Too superficial!
