Chapter 663 I Wanted to Turn My Heart to the Bright Moon, but the Bright Moon Shines on the Ditch! The Backup Plan of the People in Guandong!
Looking at the cheating items held up by more than ten family soldiers, Ying Chengjiao paced back and forth, staring at Tong Dan.
Then he suddenly shouted: "Absurd! Shameless!"
"The king's imperial examination is to select officials for the Qin Dynasty and to select ministers for the king, and it is also to give the world's talents an opportunity, an opportunity to equally display their talents!"
"How dare you, an incompetent and talentless person, openly deceive the king in front of the king?"
"Are you deceiving my Qin law?"
"Are you deceiving my sword?"
"I'll chop you, the deceitful minister!"
As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao drew his sword and was about to kill!
Wang Wan hurriedly hugged Ying Chengjiao: "Chang'an Jun, calm down! Calm down!"
"The king is here, and the court judge is here too. These criminals should be handed over to the court judge for trial and judged by the king."
"This is not the time to fight outside. Chang'an Jun has no right to lynch."
"Chang'an Jun, don't be impulsive!"
"Otherwise, this imperial examination will not be able to continue!"
Ying Chengjiao panted heavily, looked at the five-horse carriage and shouted loudly: "King, I want to kill this man!"
In the five-horse carriage, Ying Zheng's voice came out: "Those who cheat will be regarded as deceiving the emperor."
"However, the imperial examination is a matter of great literary prosperity, and we should not use weapons without authorization."
"Take this man back to the prison and let the court judge him for deceiving the emperor."
"Execute today!"
"Send another 20 court officials to stay here and strictly investigate violations of the law."
Tong Dan cried out in sorrow: "My king, spare my life!"
"Tong has no intention of deceiving the emperor, I just want to be an official, what's wrong with Tong!"
No one paid attention to Tong Dan's crying.
After Li Si bowed his hands and promised, he immediately led the court judge forward.
Under the stunned gaze of more than 6,000 candidates, the first candidate who entered the Qin Military Academy was sent to the prison for deceiving the emperor!
Is this reasonable?
This seems reasonable.
After all, Tong Dan cheated in front of Ying Zheng, which is deceiving the emperor!
Ying Chengjiao looked around at all the examinees coldly, as if his anger had not yet subsided: "The king treated you well, and also told me to treat you politely."
"So that you gentlemen will not be hungry when you take the exam, I specially asked Fushi to send grassland lambs, and invited chefs from Daliang City, Zhufang City, Echeng and other places to cook hometown delicacies for you. I took out my collection of fine wines, and even personally made honey Changchu cakes for each gentleman."
"The king is also worried that you gentlemen will be easily tired after answering questions for several days, so he specially gave you soft couches in the palace for you to rest."
"I think that although I can't be considered to treat you well, I can be considered to be polite."
"Such people actually repay the king and me like this!"
"Is this polite?!"
The vast majority of examinees lowered their heads in shame.
Although Ying Chengjiao and Ying Zheng are far from being as eager to seek talents as King Zhao of Yan,
But the candidates also knew that the imperial examinations were not meant for those who were so qualified that Ying Zheng was eager to recruit them.
Ying Chengjiao and Ying Zheng were very kind and respectful to the extent they went.
As candidates who took the exam with Tong Dan, they all felt deeply ashamed for this!
Ying Chengjiao became more and more angry as he spoke: "I originally wanted to look to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
"Ba Fu, lead your troops to guard the gate."
"All food, water, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are not allowed to be brought into the examination room. They are all provided by the court!"
"All those who enter, regardless of identity or purpose, must take off all clothes and be checked!"
"I want to see how many lunatics dare to deceive you!"
The five hundred soldiers under Ba Fu all bowed their hands: "Yes!"
Hearing this, many candidates were furious: "We are all talented people, how can we bear this humiliation!"
"We have to take off our clothes and be checked by a group of killers? Even if I don't become an official in Qin, I will not bear this humiliation!"
"If Qin doesn't trust us, it can say it earlier. Why act like this? Go away! Go away!"
Even candidates who are not prepared to cheat are very angry.
Because in this era, Ying Chengjiao's move is indeed humiliating!
Ying Chengjiao sighed: "I know that there are many righteous people among you, but there are always those who are unscrupulous and steal the official positions that belong to the virtuous."
"Are you willing to let those incompetent people become your superiors just because they are shameless enough!"
Some candidates also agreed and echoed: "If Tong Dan had not tried to cheat, how could Chang'an Jun do this? Whoever is dissatisfied is the one who wants to cheat and deceive the king!"
"Chang'an Jun is also protecting us! In order to be an official, please bear it!"
With Tong Dan's example in front, Ying Chengjiao's explanation in the back, and the support of some candidates, the team of candidates finally settled down.
After all, most of the candidates were not prepared to cheat, or they had never thought about cheating at all, so they naturally didn't want someone to perform better than them by cheating.
For the sake of interests, the bottom line of dignity can sometimes be less rigid!
But Xiao He and Liu Ji looked at each other and could see a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes.
"Did Tong Dan's performance and Chang'an Jun's handling go too smoothly?"
"Tong Dan, is he really called Tong Dan?"
The man who claimed to be Tong Dan did not resist at all, nor did he try to destroy the evidence. Moreover, judging from the scope of the examination, he had made too much preparation.
How could a person who could make such thorough and thorough preparations for the imperial examinations, but whose psychological quality is extremely poor, choose to be the first to rush into the examination room under Ying Chengyu's nose?
The only reasonable explanation is that Tong Dan was a shill prepared by Ying Chengyu!
The purpose is to make the strict inspection method acceptable to all candidates!
But, there is no evidence.
Moreover, Tong Dan did not show any clear omissions, nor did he have any negative impact on the imperial examiners.
So after Liu Ji and Xiao He said something each, they remained silent.
Han Qiu and Qu Bi looked at each other, but they could see deep despair in each other's eyes.
Damn it, this is for us!
"What to do? What to do!" Looking at the candidates who were being searched, Han Qiu whispered anxiously: "You and I can't hide our preparations from those who are inspecting them!"
"Once found out, we will definitely be sentenced to the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"This is a serious crime that involves the whole family!"
Qu Bi's hands were also shaking a little: "Back off!"
"Put your clothes back on!"
Han Qiu said with some reluctance: "Aren't you prepared for this?"
"We chose this strategy because we have no talent. If we change these clothes back, how can we take this opportunity to become officials!"
Qu Bi shouted in a low voice: "What's more important, life or officialdom!"
"If you don't change, I will!"
While speaking, Qu Bi had quietly walked to the back and waved to summon his servants.
Qu Bi was so decisive because he had other preparations.
Last night, the relatives of the Qin and Chu clan had sent all the test papers for this sub-divisional examination to Qubi and other disciples!
Qubi memorized it painstakingly throughout the night and had already memorized the answer.
The cheat sheet written on his clothes was just to help Qu Bi answer questions more perfectly and strive for a higher official position.
But even without that cheat sheet, Qu Bi was confident of delivering a qualified answer sheet!
Seeing all the disciples enter the examination room smoothly, Xiong Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "How could Lord Chang'an know so much about fraud?"
"Those methods of fraud were not even thought of by the wise men of our clan, but it was Lord Chang'an who came up with them."
"Fortunately, we have prepared a lot for this civil examination!"
"It's a pity that the children of many allies may have difficulty passing the exam this time."
Mi Li said quietly: "There is no need to argue about the length of time."
"As long as the family background, talent, and education of the person who finally passes the exam are different from those who were recommended in the past, it doesn't seem to matter."
"It's just." Mi Li frowned slightly: "I, I feel a little uneasy."
Xiong Wan chuckled and said: "I got the test questions early and asked the wise men in the clan to come up with the answers."
"Although these disciples are not considered talented, it must not be difficult to memorize the answer."
"Don't worry, Mrs. Mi."
Xiong Wan was right, but Mi Li still looked at Ying Chengyu uneasily.
As a result, he found that Ying Chengyu was also looking at him with a smile!
Mi Li's heart trembled when she heard Ying Chengyu suddenly say: "All the candidates have entered the venue."
"The military academy is closed and guarded by my own soldiers. No one is allowed to come within thirty feet of the military academy."
"Please invite Xiang Bangzhuang, Yushi Dafu Wan, Jiuqing and all the officials who are preparing for the imperial examination to accompany me to the king's office to discuss matters."
——
at the same time.
The W and D compartments in Class A of the Daqin Military Academy.
Qu Bi walked into this ten-foot-square wooden cubicle, looked around with disdain on his face: "After more than a year of preparation, only such a simple place has been prepared?"
"It's so narrow that it can't even fit in the desks I usually use!"
In the next room, Xiao He picked up a snack given by the examination room and put it into his mouth. He said dissatisfiedly: "It is not often that people take the imperial examination."
"It is wasteful to build palaces and buildings specifically for just one civil servant."
"It's only two days, and it will pass with patience."
Qu Bi snorted coldly: "Qin people are stingy and barbaric."
"Even if it is only used once, it should be luxurious and spacious. What does this have to do with extravagance?"
"This is the foundation of being a noble man!"
Xiao He said calmly: "There are nobles in the Qin State, but when I think about it, none of the people sitting in this military academy are nobles."
Qu Bi subconsciously wanted to refute.
But when I thought about it again, I realized that he was really just a commoner now, so he could only groan angrily: "I..."
A drumbeat suddenly sounded, and Su Jiao, who had been standing in front of the examination room, suddenly said: "Quiet!"
"The school order says that the examination room is like a battlefield and the military school is like a military camp!"
"Although you have only entered the Great Qin Military Academy to take the imperial examination, you are still within our Great Qin Military Academy."
"After the exam starts, anyone who dares to whisper to each other will be kicked out!"
"Anyone who dares to pass items will be kicked out!"
"Anyone who dares to pollute the test paper..."
"After being expelled from the Great Qin Military Academy, there will be a court official to judge the crime!"
Qu Bi couldn't help but ask: "If I want to go to the toilet, do I need permission?"
Su Jiao glanced at Qu Bi: "I have already said that a military academy is like a military camp!"
"Can the Chu army defecate at will while they are marching?"
"This general is Su Jiao, a first-term student of the Great Qin Military Academy, the Commander-in-Chief of Great Qin, and the Commander-in-Chief of Zuo Shu."
"If you are dissatisfied with what I said, you can sue me after the exam is over!"
"But now, please be silent, general!"
Qu Bi immediately became honest and did not dare to say anything even if he wanted to go to the toilet.
You are Su Jiao, you should have told me earlier!
Who in Chuland doesn’t know your name, Su Jiao?
If you had told me earlier, I would have never dared to say a word since I stepped into this house, okay?
How dare you complain about the shabby exam room!
Su Jiao looked around the room with a cold gaze, and then said in a deep voice: "Distribute the papers!"
Ten third-term military school students immediately stepped forward and distributed the papers on Chang'an paper to the desks in front of the examinees.
Seeing the big words "Ming Suan" in the upper left corner of the test paper, Qu Bi's eyes quickly moved down.
When he saw those familiar test questions, Qu Bi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This one is a sure thing!
