There is less than one day left before the examination, and the atmosphere in the entire capital has become extremely anxious.
Facing this once-in-three-year blessing for the world, both officials and people feel extremely nervous.
As for the students who have been preparing in the capital for almost a month, they are undoubtedly extremely excited.
Because they know that the value of their ten years of hard study will be most perfectly demonstrated tomorrow!
This is the only way for a son from a poor family to advance into an official career, so they naturally attach great importance to it.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a big commotion in the capital before.
As the morning of the exam approached, Lin Yiqiu continued to serve his wife at home.
After making Wei Wanqiu happy, he was ready to go to the Examination Yuan to inspect.
Naturally, the location of the Examination Yuan was provided by the Ministry of Rites, and it was located in a specially built mansion next to the imperial palace.
The Forbidden Army was already gathering outside the door, and officials were coming in and out inside, all of whom seemed to be busy preparing for tomorrow's examination.
Lin Yiqiu whistled and walked towards the examination hall.
When the officials from the Ministry of Rites saw him, they naturally still disliked him and turned their heads one after another.
Lin Yiqiu didn't care about this and walked inside on his own.
After arriving at the examination room where the candidates were, I made a brief inspection and shook my head in dissatisfaction.
"Someone, someone, someone!"
Lin Yiqiu shouted.
A guard from the bottom ran over quickly, panting.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Lin Yiqiu patted him on the shoulder and pointed towards the plaque in the middle of the examination room.
"The exam is just an exam, why do you need such a big plaque?"
"Do you know that this thing will easily distract the candidates' attention when the time comes?"
His face was speechless for a while.
At this time, in the middle of the examination room, a huge plaque, more than three meters long, was hanging from the railings on both sides.
As soon as you walk in, you can see it directly, it is very conspicuous.
Lin Yiqiu didn't understand this kind of operation at all. It obviously affected the candidates' performance!
In his opinion, the examination room should be clean, and nothing else should be used to interfere with the candidates!
"Sir, this... Sir He asked us to put it on it, saying it was... saying it was going to be inscribed?"
The guard said with some embarrassment: "Master He said that the plaque here should be able to alert the candidates, and if done well, it should be the kind that can inspire the deaf!"
"Inscription? Is it still inspiring?"
After hearing this, Lin Yiqiu just felt like laughing.
As for the pedantic ministers in the Ministry of Rites, if they give inscriptions to these newcomers, why don't they tarnish other people's talents?
While he was smiling, not far away, He Weixin came over with a group of other ministers.
When he saw Lin Yiqiu was there, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"This eunuch actually has the nerve to enter the examination hall!"
Naturally, he felt that Lin Yiqiu was not qualified and that coming in would only tarnish this place.
Before the other ministers could say anything, Lin Yiqiu's words had already reached him in the next second.
"Master He, it is not good to speak ill of people behind their backs. I am also the Minister of Rites, why am I not qualified?"
Lin Yiqiu turned around and smiled even more.
He is a master-level expert. As long as he is not too far away, he can hear what He Weixin is saying more clearly than his own farts!
He Weixin didn't think there was anything wrong and continued: "President Lin, although you are the Minister of Rites, you have never been in charge of examinations before."
"With people like us here, you don't have to worry too much. Besides, this is not a suitable place for you to come."
The implication is that you are not worthy.
Lin Yiqiu can naturally understand the meaning behind the words.
After He Weixin finished speaking, the other ministers looked at Lin Yiqiu with contempt.
Lin Yiqiu sneered.
"Everyone, I was specially sent here by the emperor, so whether I am worthy of this exam or not, it really won't matter if you tell me."
"Master He, you are so brave, why not tell the emperor and ask him to disqualify me?"
"you!"
He Weixin choked back and felt depressed for a while.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites was fined by Emperor Qian. Now everyone knows that it is best not to provoke Emperor Qian.
Therefore, they naturally did not dare to do what Lin Yiqiu said.
Except for the mouth being a little harder, the bones are not hard at all!
"Hmph! Lin Yiqiu! You can only hide behind the emperor. What kind of hero are you?"
"You guys are really using His Majesty's power to give yourself prestige!"
He Weixin continued to snort coldly.
Lin Yiqiu shrugged.
"Your Majesty allows it. If you are unhappy, go to him and tell me what to do?"
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Why do you insist on getting a plaque in this examination room if you have nothing to do?"
"This thing blocks the view and the sun! It looks too disharmonious! Why not withdraw!"
Pointing to the plaque not far away, Lin Yiqiu complained.
Hearing this, the ministers behind him first looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.
The laughter was full of sarcasm, and the look in Lin Yiqiu's eyes became even more playful.
He Weixin also laughed several times, and then said: "Lin Yiqiu, you really only have the knowledge of a eunuch, you don't even know this!"
"Let me tell you, every time we take the exam, our examiner will write mottos in his own handwriting to motivate the candidates."
"This huge plaque is used to write proverbs. After those candidates see it, they can use the proverbs as motivation to perform better!"
After saying that, He Weixin looked at Lin Yiqiu teasingly again and shook his head.
"You don't even know this, so you dare to try to say something about removing the plaque!"
"Lin Yiqiu, let me tell you, you are not qualified to enter this place at all. Get out quickly."
"Yes, yes, get out quickly."
A group of people immediately cheered.
Lin Yiqiu didn't feel embarrassed at all. After hearing He Weixin's explanation, he also laughed.
He Weixin frowned a little unhappy when he saw this.
"You guy, why are you laughing?"
Lin Yiqiu turned around and looked at him with a look of disdain.
After a while, Lin Yiqiu continued to look at the others, and then said: "I laugh at how half-hearted you are, but you have the nerve to write any mottos on the plaque."
"With your literary skills, I'm afraid it would be embarrassing if you didn't write it down!"
"Listen to me, everyone, it's better to withdraw immediately. I'm afraid that what you write will scare those students. It would be bad if they misunderstood that I am of the same level as you in the literary world!"
The tone was so contemptuous that Lin Yiqiu even spat lightly.
After seeing him like this, He Weixin couldn't bear it anymore!
"Lin Yiqiu! You are so presumptuous! How dare you insult those of us from the Ministry of Etiquette!"
"How dare you, a mere eunuch, speak so brazenly about us writing proverbs! I'm curious where you got the courage!"
