Shen Ming was looking through the excerpts. These excerpts were supposed to be the work of Emperor Yan, but Emperor Yan asked the cabinet to send them all directly to the East Palace.
It's a good name to let the prince adapt in advance, but in fact, it's just for him to be lazy and enjoy the life of being the emperor early.
Helpless, Shen Ming could only accept it.
The cabinet has already reviewed these information, and some of them have already provided solutions. Shen Ming only needs to answer the multiple-choice questions.
Yes, Shen Ming knew three words just by writing on them.
Suddenly, Shen Ming saw a special report. It was about impeaching the chief examiner of the provincial examination for engaging in malpractice for personal gain and secretly admitting Shan Yanghong, the son of Shan Tingshun, the minister of Dali Temple, as a candidate.
The list of candidates has just been released today, and someone has already handed in the results!
Shen Ming remembered that Tao Xun was just a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, from the fourth rank, and his main tasks were compilation, editing and review of literature and history.
Shan Tingshun, the Minister of Dali Temple, was a third-rank official, but Tao Xun was bold.
However, Shen Ming will not arrest anyone without evidence.
At this time, the eunuch came in and reported: "Your Highness, Miss Yan wants to see you."
Shen Ming was slightly startled, why is she here?
Since the last time he went to Lu Mansion to see Yan Yiyi, Shen Ming has left Yan Yiyi behind. At this moment, he has lost his attachment to Yan Yiyi.
The busy government affairs every day prevented him from thinking about anything else. However, Yan Yiyi once saved his father and the queen. Shen Ming would naturally want to meet her when she came.
Along with Yan Yiyi, there was also a tall and tall man. Shen Ming had met this man last time, and Shen Ming didn't have a good impression of him.
Yan Yiyi and Shen Ming didn't waste any time and directly told Shen Ming about the fact that a scholar like Sun Rupei, who was well-read in poetry and literature, had lost his name in Sun Mountain, and that Shan Yanghong, who was an unknown person and had poor quality in cartography, was named in the gold list.
Shen Ming chuckled and said, "Are you actually fighting for Lu Yan's injustice?"
Yan Yiyi is not related to Sun Rupei, so whether Sun Rupei passes the exam or not, what does it have to do with her?
Therefore, Shen Ming guessed that Lu Yan must not have passed the exam.
Yan Yiyi just wanted to use Sun Rupei's example to tell Shen Ming. After all, Lu Yan himself said that his talents and learning were not as good as Sun Rupei's. She didn't expect that Shen Ming would hit the target.
Just when Yan Yiyi was thinking about how to answer, Shen Ming suddenly said: "Come here, please order the Minister of Rites to investigate this matter thoroughly."
There was no emotion in Shen Ming's voice, he was already a qualified prince.
Although His Highness is still just the Crown Prince, except that he does not sit in that position, everything else is left to His Majesty.
After a eunuch took the order and went out, Shen Ming said again: "Order all the successful candidates to go to the East Palace. I will personally preside over this re-examination."
"yes."
Another eunuch took the order and went out.
Yan Yiyi didn't expect Shen Ming to believe her words so quickly, and sent someone to investigate thoroughly and re-examine!
In fact, Shen Ming was just a little skeptical when he saw Tao Xun's impeachment report, but Yan Yiyi's words made him feel that this exam was not easy!!
The re-examination was quickly arranged. This was the first re-examination in the Great Yan Continent.
The scene was more serious than during the provincial examination. In the East Palace examination room, imperial guards stood with long spears in their hands, and there were invigilators watching eagerly. All the candidates completed the examination in fear.
At the same time, other candidates also took the exam again, and all the invigilators were replaced.
The results of the Donggong exam were announced soon, and ten candidates failed!
These ten people were immediately revoked from the title of Juren, including Shan Yanghong, the son of Shan Tingshun, the minister of Dali Temple.
All the original invigilators were immediately executed and sentenced to death, and their property was confiscated by the government!
Ten other candidates who took the re-examination passed the exam, including Sun Rupei, Lu Yan, and Lu Yao!!!
