Chapter 627 Unexpected joy and bad news (two in one)(1/2)
Du Shaoqing was slightly surprised and puzzled. Who else could he sell the answer to besides selling it to greedy candidates?
After lowering his voice, Du Shaoqing asked back with a strange expression: "Did you also participate in this matter?"
...
"Brother-in-law, where do you want to go? I don't take the scientific exam, so what should I do if I buy the answers?
And even if I participate, I will become a seller in order to make money. I can’t buy the answer in large quantities, right?” Li Chengqian felt that his IQ seemed to have been lowered.
Du Shaoqing said awkwardly: "Then why do you ask this? Except for those candidates who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, who else would buy this?"
"Which part of the candidates I mean! Guess which part of it?" Li Chengqian said speechlessly.
"How to guess this? Candidates are divided into foreign countries and local people. Can they not buy foreign countries?" Du Shaoqing still didn't guess.
Li Chengqian was covered in black lines and reached out to stop his brother-in-law's long-winded words, "Forget it, I shouldn't let you guess, just tell you how good it is.
No one expected that most of the candidates who bought the answers were from the five surnames and Qi Wang’s children.”
How is this possible?
This result surprised Du Shaoqing, probably no one would have thought of it.
"Yes, my father was so surprised and puzzled. It was them who leaked the secrets, and they were their own people who were finally buying away the victims. This really shot himself in the foot." Li Chengqian mocked.
Du Shaoqing still couldn't understand, "The leak storm started before the exam started, which means they wanted to expose me at that time. If I was successfully defeated, then this test paper will be useless regardless of whether it is true or false.
The exam will be postponed, and the exam questions will be given separately, and they have no reason to buy it..."
Li Chengqian pacing back and forth Du Shaoqing pressed back to the chair and explained: "We investigated later.
First, they did not expect that you and your father teamed up to confirm that the test paper was fake and stabilized your status.
They didn't expect you to do the opposite and counter the other party with fake or real.
Secondly, their behavior will be ruined and even suppressed you even if they do not hesitate to destroy the imperial examination. This is something that the court does not tolerate, so they dare not speak too blatantly to their clan members. This will easily lead to a handle."
Du Shaoqing nodded and agreed: "That's right, even the direct princes such as Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxin didn't know about the leaked test questions, but they were covered up very tightly."
Li Chengqian shook his finger, "It's not over yet, the third thing is the third one, that is the price. The price of ten taels directly discouraged countless candidates."
What???No, it's OK to have such a irrelevant reason?
Li Chengqian spread his hands and said affirmatively: "In fact, this is true. For an ordinary family, ten taels of silver are a year's income, and maybe not necessarily.
It is rare for poor candidates from other places to have a 2 tael of silver to eat and live.
So, in addition to more local candidates, those who can afford this are those families with better backgrounds.
Brother-in-law, you are not unintentionally interfering in the chat. Isn’t it a good price to price ten taels?"
What's good?
Du Shaoqing was a black line, "I don't have that time to do anything. I didn't think of selling answers. They were all made by the opponent, and the pricing was also set by others."
Now it was Li Chengqian's turn to be stunned. The prince, who was used to the tricks in the officialdom, did not expect that the other party's trap would trap themselves in a mess this time?
"There is one thing wrong. Aristocratic families should have received a good education. Apart from some of the extremely poor character, how can they compete for the answer? This is not very reasonable." Du Shaoqing raised a question.
The two sat down again and started drinking tea. Li Chengqian patiently explained: "The so-called aristocratic families generally think that they are famous branches of the direct descendants or close relatives.
Actually, it is not. Basically, as long as the five surnames and seven hope family members are found in the genealogy, regardless of their wealth, status and reputation, they are all children of aristocratic families.
The five surnames and Qiwang family have great achievements. Over the years, they have relied on a large number of children from their clans to transport talents to the court, thus occupying the positions of officials in various places.
To put it nicely, they are working hard to govern the country, but the real situation is the greater suspicion that they control the real power of the government by controlling the lower class, and their hearts are punished."
"This is also the reason why the former Sui Dynasty created the imperial examination and election." Du Shaoqing took a sip of tea and agreed.
"No one expected the result of this time. A large number of people who were poor in exams could not afford the answers, so they also escaped.
Among the children of the five surnames and Qiwang, there are not many of them, the princes of the direct descendants and main branches. These people are all like small wealthy people, with some money on their own, and lack confidence in the exam, so they can't help but tempt and buy answers.
The final result is that this year's imperial examination, nearly 60% of the middle and lower-level candidates from the aristocratic family were eliminated. The father and emperor personally praised you and said that you had a great victory in your first battle!
He also said that you will be responsible for the scientific examination in the future, so no one will have any objections.”
Du Shaoqing waved his hands repeatedly: "Stop, stop, I almost capsized when I say anything."
...
In the clinic, Di Renjie was reading a book, and Xiao Xuanxuan rode a big cat and roared over, "There is the result of the result..."
He called out all the brothers and brothers in the backyard of the clinic with one shout.
“Really? Really?
Let's go and have a look..." Chang Baicao opened the door and shouted in panic.
Han Yueming wondered: "Didn't it mean that the results will be released in three days? You're not a prank, little sister."
Xiao Xuanxuan raised the report card in her hand and showed off: "Of course not. This is what my uncle just brought out of the palace. Although the ranking was released three days later, the ranking has been reported to my grandfather.
Do you want to know how you are doing in the exam? Dear brothers???”
Okay, listen to what you said, it’s both my uncle and grandfather. It’s like talking about the scientific examination as if it’s my own family matters. This relationship is too tough.
The third senior brother Cui Hao blurted out: "Little junior sister, since you have received the internal news, tell us quickly, of course everyone..."
Before he finished speaking, Cui Hao found that the second senior brother Han Yueming winked at him with great effort, and the eldest senior brother Di Renjie had already turned his head away, and he was very puzzled.
"Of course, how about it, Senior Brother Third?
You guys are all obedient, don’t wink at random!" Xiao Xuanxuan glared at the other people fiercely.
Seeing this situation, a flash of lightning flashed through Cui Hao's mind, remembering the days when he was an apprentice in the clinic, and quickly changed his words and said, "Of course I don't want to. The results will be released in three days. It's the same for morning and evening. We don't have to worry about these two days.
Moreover, everything is a foregone conclusion when you leave the exam room. Ranking is not important. Master often says that it is important to participate!"
"Yes, the third junior brother (third senior brother) is very saying, we are not in a hurry, no hurry..." the other people agreed with relief.
You, how can you not be in a hurry?
"Okay, I know that the third senior brother will not be able to learn with you. Wait, and see me go back and prepare two sets of medicine, and you must be well done..." Xiao Xuanxuan turned over and rode on the tiger angrily, and was about to walk out.
"What???Hey... The little junior sister is back soon, everything is easy to discuss..."
No matter how everyone shouted, Xiao Xuanxuan didn't look back and disappeared behind the screen wall in a blink of an eye.
Cui Hao asked tentatively: "What happened just now? Why do you all wink me?"
Han Yueming said with a bitter face: "Third junior brother, you haven't been here in the past two years. As the junior sister grows up, her playfulness has not diminished at all. She has been messing around with us all day long, and everyone is worried every day."
Chang Baicao nodded and said, "Once you just said you wanted to know, then you will be forced to agree to the youngest sister's strange conditions one after another...
In a word, that's dead!"
"Is the junior sister so scary?" Cui Hao exclaimed.
Han Yueming and Chang Baicao nodded together, "Only more terrible, no one is the most terrifying!"
At this time, Di Renjie, who had been watching on the side, said leisurely: "You are not afraid of being heard by her when you evaluate the younger sister like this?"
Do you think it's okay now?
When the junior sister left, she said something. You two ruined her good things, so wait for pranks."
Ga! Han Yueming and the others subconsciously looked towards the front yard. Fortunately, the junior sister should have left angry. If she was really heard, she would be killed if she was beaten to death.
Cui Hao said in confusion: "Why are they two? Senior brother, aren't you afraid?"
Chang Baicao curled his lips and said, "The eldest brother does not invade copper and iron bones with all poisons. He can treat arsenic as food. The younger sister can't even deal with him, so she gave up a long time ago."
This is OK? Cui Hao was so thundered that he was so tender that he was so tender that he was so tender that he hadn't been sure that his fourth junior brother never lies, Cui Hao wouldn't have believed his ears, and he would never have heard of it.
Just as he was about to ask the reason, a small head quietly poked out from behind the screen wall and said with a smile: "I have heard everything you said...
I dare to say bad things about me behind my back while I am not here, hehe, second and fourth brothers, you are a little bit arrogant lately!"
Puff... Han Yueming and the others just wanted to vomit blood, and they were afraid of whatever they were afraid of. Now they were dead.
Cui Hao stood up and persuaded: "Little junior sister, for the sake of brother, let them go. They are all fellow disciples. You are so powerful, isn't it obvious that you bully them?
Let’s talk about the results. Didn’t you say you got the ranking? Tell everyone quickly, we are all waiting to know if it is on the list.”
Xiao Xuanxuan didn't expect to make a prank. Seeing her senior brothers being beaten up by her, Xiao Xuanxuan even thought they were quite pitiful.
So he nodded with the flow and said, "Okay, for the sake of the third senior brother, I will let you go this time. If you dare to say bad things about me again, let's settle the new and old accounts together."
After saying that, she showed the report card, and everyone surrounded her anxiously, even Di Renjie was no exception.
After a moment, several brothers shouted excitedly, and they were all on the list, and the ranking was so high, which was a good result that they dare not imagine.
"Senior Brother, you are the top scholar. If you treat him, you must treat him!" Cui Hao patted Di Renjie's shoulder and said.
Di Renjie slapped Cui Hao's hand away, gave the other party a blank look and said, "Aren't you the second place too? Why don't you treat me? Your family is a big family."
"Ahem, okay, you can take the lead first, I'll be behind you!" Cui Hao hurriedly begged for forgiveness.
Xiao Xuanxuan raised her hand and shouted, "Then I will be ranked third, let's go to the top scholar building.
The second senior brother ranked fourth, and the fourth senior brother ranked fifth..."
Di Renjie pressed her down and said, "Okay, don't mention the 1st century building. Do you think it's light to harm others? I heard that from that day to now, the 1st century building has basically been deserted and is almost closed.
To be continued...
