Chapter 79 The Debate of the Golden Temple
The results were announced this time very differently.
Before the ranking was announced, the answer sheets of all candidates who participated in the palace examination were posted.
Some candidates have roughly got a rating of their ranking after reading these answers.
Half a day later, the rankings were announced one after another.
The ones on the list were naturally very happy, and even cried with joy for a while.
Those who did not make the list were disappointed and heartbroken, but when they saw other people's test papers, they knew where the gap was. They were not very angry. They just made up their minds to work hard to prepare for another imperial examination three years later.
But overall, this result was very satisfying for everyone.
But some different sounds appeared in the market.
"The Fushou Academy in Fushou City is really amazing. Look, most of the top students on the list are students from Fushou Academy."
"This time, the one who is responsible for the palace examination is Mr. Han from Fushou Academy. Can they not do well in the exam?"
"Did you mean that Master Han from Fushou Academy gave their students a clear question?"
"I didn't say that, but don't you find it strange? No matter how powerful Fushou City is, it's even better than Beijing? Also, you see that the top scorer and the second-place winner are actually Fushou Academy. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"I heard that this top scholar was just a scholar in a small mountain village more than a year ago. It has only been a long time since then, and I have become the top scholar. I will give it a closer look."
"I heard that Shen Zhao seems to be Mr. Han's closed disciple."
"Wow, is this a fraud? That's what a thief called to catch a thief."
Such a voice is slowly spreading and also reaching Han Shouli's ears.
Father Shen was so anxious when he heard these words, but he could only worry about it himself. Although he was also on the list this time, his ranking was not high, and he was only ranked 121.
He has no power and no power, does not know any nobles, cannot help, and does not know how to clarify.
Mr. Shen was so upset that he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to his residence, he saw the person involved in these rumors.
"Han, Brother Han, no, Master Han Ge." Seeing Han Shouli, Shen's father didn't know what to say.
When I was in Fushou City before, I only knew that Han Shouli was very good, but during the time he lived in their house, he did not think that he was a very high official at all. He was very approachable. He also looked like a child with two old men Meng Kun every day.
They kept quarreling and quarreling.
It makes people completely unremember his status.
But it was not until this time that Shen's father clearly felt the power of this approachable little old man.
If you can go to the palace at any time, and if you go to the palace this time, such a big thing happened, which shows how powerful it is.
"Brother Shen, do you see that you are so happy that you don't know how to speak?" Han Shouli looked at Shen's nervous look and teased with a smile.
"I, I, I..." Mr. Shen took a sip of tea before swallowing the words and reorganizing them: "Outside, everyone outside says you are favored. Are you not worried?"
Han Shouli laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? I didn't interfere with the test questions. They were all questions developed by those from the Ministry of Rites. Since the test questions came out, I have been staying in the Ministry of Rites and never left.
These are things that can be clearly seen with just a little check. If you have anything to worry about, come on, don’t care about these small things. I’m here today, there is a big thing to tell you.”
Seeing Han Shouli so calm, Chen's father finally let go of his heart.
But when he heard that there was another big thing, his heart was raised again.
But before I could speak, someone came from the palace: "Gei Master Han, Your Majesty is anxious, I will be ordered."
"Immediately, the imperial edict? What's the matter?" Han Shouli asked with a frown.
"I don't know this slave, so I'd better ask Mr. Han to go there as soon as possible." The eunuch said embarrassedly.
"I know, I'll enter the palace now." Han Shouli said.
Father Chen looked at him worriedly
Han Shouli.
"Don't worry, it's okay. If you're idle, take one of the blue bottles of medicine prepared by the girl Sheng before." Han Shouli finished speaking, and then entered the palace with the eunuch.
When Chen's father heard Han Shouli's words, he felt strange.
Blue bottle of medicine?
Didn’t that medicine be taken only if you feel uncomfortable?
Although he was worried now, he didn't feel uncomfortable either.
Han Shouli came to the hall. At this moment, all the ministers were there. Calculate the time and there was about one cup of tea left. Zhuangyuan and others were going to come to the hall to see the emperor.
"See Your Majesty." Han Shouli bowed to Chu Xuanjin.
Chu Xuanjin said, "There is no need to be polite to you. I asked the elder to come today because I thought that the elder was personally arranged by the elder in the palace examination and was also the teacher of the candidates of this class. I felt that the elder in charge of this occasion should also be present. "
"Yes." Han Shouli responded and stood aside.
Not long after, Chen Zhao and others came to the hall and saluted. Chu Xuanjin finished his polite words and was about to grant him an official position. The censor stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few words to ask Chen Zhuangyuan, I don't know. Can it be?"
Chu Xuanjin said lightly: "You ask."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing again, the Censor looked at Chen Zhao and asked him: "I heard a lot of comments on the way to come, saying that this year's top scholar was just a countryside a year ago. The scholar in the mountain village became the top scorer today a year later. I heard that Chen Zhuangyuan was a student of Mr. Han Ge. However, Mr. Han presided over the examination before the palace examination. Chen Zhuangyuan was never on the list, but Han Ge After the old host, he won the top scorer in one fell swoop, and I am deeply confused about this."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace looked at me and I looked at you.
Everyone knows what kind of character Han Shouli is.
Everyone in the hall may be more private, but he is the most unlikely.
Liang Qi, who was the second best, raised his heart high after hearing this.
Although he had doubted Chen Zhao's strength, after all, he didn't know much and never went to school together on weekdays, he believed that Master Han would never do such a thing.
However, if someone publicly questioned on such an occasion, it is afraid that the end will not end.
Liang Qi looked at Chen Zhao carefully and silently wished him good luck in his heart.
However, Chen Zhao's face was not at all panicked, and she turned around and looked at the censor calmly: "So Master Huang thinks it was the title of the top scholar that Master Han helped me cheat?"
The censor did not say it clearly, but the contempt on his face could not be concealed. "I have never said this, but I was just shocked by the rapid progress of Chen Zhuangyuan."
Chen Zhao bent her lips and said, "Mr. Huang was born in a poor family and could not hire a famous teacher once, but Mr. Huang is now a censor. I dare to ask Mr. Huang how he was under such poor conditions back then. Becoming the Tanhua of that year? How did you get to your current position step by step?"
The Censor looked at him in shock, "How come you, how could you be so clear?"
Chen Zhao did not directly answer his question, but asked, "I don't need to know how I know. I might as well answer my question first."
The censor snorted: "If you don't have money to buy books, then go and borrow them from others, copy the content of the book and then study it carefully. As long as you want to read, there is always a way."
Chen Zhao bent her lips and said, "Since that's the case, why does Lord Huang still have to determine his future achievements based on his background? Can you become Tanhua? Why can't I become the top scholar?"
"You..." The Censor couldn't find any words to refute for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Then how do you explain that you couldn't make it to the list in the first exam?"
Chen Zhao said sarcastically: "Does Lord Huang think there are any ingredients worth referring to in the first exam? Let me see, there are still a few adults who participated in the first exam now. Here?!Have Lord Huang ever seen the papers of the top candidates that time? Have you compared the papers of some candidates who ranked lower and higher this time?
?”
Chen Zhao's tone became heavier and heavier: "Mr. Huang, as a censor, you have the power to supervise all officials. However, when you find something wrong, should you do something you should do first? ?You just came up with a high hat and slapped heavily on Master Han’s head. What do you want to do?"
The censor has always dared to say it, but now facing Chen Zhao's round of questioning and facing the aura he exudes, he can't find any words to refute, and his heart is even more trembling.
Chen Zhao's last question echoed in the hall, and the ministers were stunned.
A top scholar or a top scholar from the countryside, dared to question the ministers next to him like this when he first went to the palace?
Chu Xuanjin looked at Chen Zhao, who was questioning the censor below, and frowned tightly: "Chen Zhao, please pay attention to your attitude! You just passed the title of top scorer."
Liang Qi's heart was almost in his throat.
How could this Shen Zhao be so brave?
Is it because he is Mr. Han’s student?
But don’t he know that if he contradicts here, even Master Han will not be able to save him? Where did he get the courage?
"Chen Zhao, Shen Zhao." Liang Qi called out twice with his voice, and shook his head at him when Shen Zhao came over.
Although he and Shen Zhao were not close or not, they were from the same place and the same group of people who were admitted to the exam, so they naturally hoped that they would be good.
Knowing that Liang Qi is kind, Chen Zhao only gave him a peaceful smile, turned around and continued, "If you really think that my fame and reputation are weak, you can check it out in detail. Who gave the test questions? After the test questions are published, the relevant officials can Has anyone disclosed half of the information to the outside world? The candidates' answers have been announced. I really don't know how strong the candidates are. In this way, what else can Lord Huang be confused about?"
Chen Zhao paused and said, "As a censor, Lord Huang should carefully distinguish the sources of information and distinguish the authenticity, rather than following the crowd. What does Lord Huang think?"
"Yes." The Censor was stunned by Chen Zhao's words. When he asked, he subconsciously replied yes.
Everyone: "…………”
Which of you two has a higher official position?
No, then Chen Zhao doesn’t even have an official position yet!
Zuo Ye suddenly chuckled and said to Han Shouli: "Her Master Han, is the students you taught really amazing?"
Han Shouli said lightly: "I have only given me one or two instructions, and I am far from being called a gentleman."
When these words fell into the ears of the ministers, they subconsciously thought that Han Shouli was unwilling to have any connection with this arrogant Chen Zhao, and were trying to separate them from each other.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Chen Zhao became more ridiculous, and they were waiting to see his good show.
Chu Xuanjin said with displeasure: "I am very curious about how my parents can educate Chen Zhuangyuan like this."
Chen Zhao looked up at Chu Xuanjin, and said word by word: "Of course we are our father. Don't you remember the emperor?"
Everyone: "????"
Father?
The emperor brother??
