fraud!

As soon as these two words came out, the ambition in the hearts of Shen Liangfu and others was intense, and their complacency and ambition suddenly disappeared, leaving only fear.

I recalled in my mind that before entering the palace, the head eunuch shook his head meaningfully.

Suddenly there was only hesitation in my heart.

Is it possible that the Holy One didn't call them here to perform for the Jinluan Palace, but to kill them?

This...what should I do?

However, fortunately not everyone is panicked.

I saw Zhen Renyi calm down after a brief panic, bowed his hands to Zhang Lang, and then said without being humble or arrogant: "Caomin and others have always been law-abiding, and they did the questions honestly in the examination. They have never done anything beyond their bounds. I don't know what your lord is doing." Say this."

"Why do you say that?"

"The eight-part prose and poetry rhythms of the ten of you are almost identical!"

"They are all among the top eleven. It's such a coincidence. Do you still dare to quibble?"

"Hahaha, what did I think it was? It turns out it's just that." Chen Chuge laughed.

"Wild man, this is the Jinluan Palace, and the one who is talking to you is the Taiwei of the current dynasty. How dare you speak such arrogant words!" Guang Luxun and Zhou Fu stood up and scolded angrily.

"I only know that the current Holy One will create a prosperous age of benevolence and propaganda."

"In the court, what matters most is speaking freely."

"Although I am a commoner, but now I am standing in the court, why can't I express my feelings directly?"

"If Lord Taiwei is right, I will naturally praise you."

"But what the Lieutenant said is wrong. He is even slandering us. Could it be that I have to kneel down and applaud?"

"The late emperor never had such a truth when he was in power. Is it possible that such a fallacy can still be found under the current rule of the Holy Emperor?"

"this..."

"You know my rules very well. Yes, in the court, regardless of your superiority or inferiority, you can speak freely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Since you say that Mr. Taiwei is wrong, the poems and essays written by the ten of you all have similarities. This is a fact. How do you explain it?"

"May I ask, sir, who is this person?"

"Wei Ting, Zhou Nan."

"It turns out that he is Master Zhou, one of the Nine Qings. I have admired him for a long time."

"It's just that since Mr. Zhou is a court official in charge of justice, he should know that today's emperor is focused on governing the country according to law."

"There is no circle without rules, and the rules of the country are the laws."

"If we can't measure it, how can we achieve great prosperity?"

"Since we are talking about the law, we must have evidence."

"Your Majesty, Taiwei, has no certification and no physical evidence, so he said that we committed the fraud."

"This is a serious crime of never being hired. Although this kid is white and speaks softly, no matter what he does, he still has to refute one or two things. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the hard study for more than ten years?"

"I'm quite eloquent, but I don't know how you can explain the similarity in poems and prose written by ten people like you?" Seeing that Zhou Nan was restrained, Zhou Yan stood up and said.

"It's very simple. It's just that the ten of us came from the same school and were taught by the same teacher. It's not surprising that the articles we produced are somewhat similar."

"As for why we are both ranked in the top eleven, it can only mean that our teachers teach well."

As soon as these words came out, the entire Jinluan Palace fell into a brief silence.

No one seems to have thought that this is the reason.

"Your teacher, how many disciples can you teach?"

"Not many, just ten of us."

Hearing this, the sound of smacking of tongues could be heard in the Qiande Hall.

I only taught ten people, and all ten of them were in the top eleven!

If the Jiangnan prodigy Gu Xingwen hadn't disrupted the situation, he would have been in the top ten!

What is this concept?

What kind of famous teacher is this?

"May I ask what your mentor's name is?"

"My master, the poet of Huainan, is Gu Beichuan!"

boom!

As soon as these words came out, the court fell into silence again.

Because everyone is familiar with this name.

Not long ago, two of Gu Beichuan's poems "Zhen Yumen" and "Joining the Army" spread to Qiandu and caused a great uproar.

There was a period of turmoil in the Qiandu literary world, which almost threatened Hu Yan's reputation as the number one poet in Qiandu.

Furthermore, Taicang ordered Wu Yunxuan to go to Jianghuai County to select imperial merchants.

When he came back to resume his duties, he mentioned this person in the court hall.

It can be said that he blocked the witchcraft cultists and organized Beiyan's attempt to cut off the large amount of food and grass, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.

His Majesty once issued an order to draw up a decree and ordered all officials to award rewards as appropriate.

It's just that spring was just around the corner, and most of the officials' thoughts were here.

Moreover, the matter of stopping the witchcraft and Gu cult was a special case and was not included in the Daqian reward regulations. The specific reward still needs to be discussed by a group of officials.

It was delayed again and again. Who would have thought that today I would hear this person's name again.

Of course, the most shocked ones were Hu Yan and Wei Qing.

At the beginning, Wei Qing was very confident, saying that Gu Xingwen was only a child and lacked experience, so it would be difficult for him to succeed in poetry and policy studies involving wars and frontier fortresses.

But who would have thought that Gu Xingwen would get a fifth grade in the exam and slap him hard in the face.

As for Gu Beichuan, he did not take part in the imperial examination, but the ten disciples he taught almost made the top ten.

Hu Yan also felt a little embarrassed on his face.

He had previously felt sorry for Gu Beichuan, bluntly saying that he wasted his talent and failed to pass the imperial examination, thus missing the opportunity to become a talented person.

Now it seems that if someone is so talented, do they really care about the reputation brought by the imperial examination?

You shame me, you really shame me!

Shen Liangfu saw that the whole place was so quiet, which was a bit unexpected.

In the past, he only knew that his mentor's name was taboo in Huainan.

But I didn't expect that it would be so easy to use in the Jinluan Palace in Qiandu City.

Ting Wei and Guang Luxun, who had been aggressive just now, immediately fell silent when they heard the name of their mentor.

"Your Majesty, I have had some interactions with Gu Beichuan."

"This man is indeed as rumored to be. He is eight times as talented and five in knowledge. If these ten people are all his disciples, I guess... it is not impossible to be among the top eleven." Taicang Order Wu Yunxuan said.

After hearing what his proud subordinate had said, Chief Sinong Hao De immediately raised his eyebrows.

In this situation, can you, the Taicang Order, be able to speak out?

If I go in as a ninth-ranking minister, I may only be able to deliver food.

For a time, as Gu Beichuan's name was revealed, the situation reached a deadlock.

After all, it is normal for people who came from the same school to write articles and poems that are similar to each other.

You can't say someone is cheating just because of this.

After all, this is a serious crime that ranges from never being hired to someone who will be punished in the future.

However, when all the courtiers were silent, Emperor Renxuan spoke.

"Eight-legged essays and poetry can still be explained in this way."

"But in this subject of policy theory, I don't believe that just by studying under the same discipline, we can come up with similar countermeasures."

"What's more, if my prediction is correct, what you wrote are all the methods used by Prince Zhenbei to defend against the enemy."
