Father can be an enemy to the country

Of course, in addition to encouraging the students to grit their teeth and persist to the end, Zhu Zhen also selflessly suggested that if they really couldn't stand it, they could go to Yunnan.

The fifty-five prefectures in Yunnan, except for the core areas of Kunming, Dali and Qujing, basically only have government-level yamen. All the prefectures and counties below are still empty, even if they can eat all the graduates of Guozi University, they will have no problem.

And if you go there, you can become a political officer, and you don't have to be criticized by your superiors... Of course, you will have to be criticized by the chieftain, but with the support of the prince, in short, the world is vast and there is a lot to do.

In fact, Ma Junze, Hu Yan, and Huang Guan were already envious of their colleagues who were still sinking because of the seventh-grade official robes they wore, so they all expressed their willingness to return to Yunnan with the prince.

While everyone was chatting animatedly, they saw a eunuch wearing a steel fork hat walking in quickly and hurriedly walked to Zhu Zhen's side.

It was normal for the palace to have eunuchs, and the students didn't take it seriously. Ma Junze, Hu Yan and the others couldn't help but murmur because the eunuch was wearing a python suit, and he looked like he was serving the emperor.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Zhen asked in a low voice. Naturally, he knew that the person who came was Eunuch Chen from Wuying Palace.

"Back to your lord, your lord ordered you to enter the palace quickly." Eunuch Chen replied softly.

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded, stood up and said to the students: "My father has something urgent to call me to the palace. Fortunately, it is still early, so I should be able to come back before the results are released."

After speaking, he ordered Hu Yan and Ma Junze to say: "Greetings to the students."

"As ordered." The two men responded quickly, and the students also stood up together and respectfully escorted the prince out of the hall.

After sitting on the golden chariot and being isolated from all sides by his retinue, Zhu Zhen asked Eunuch Chen, "What's the matter?"

"After today's morning court, two great scholars, Duke Guo of Song and Zhu Shan and Zhang Pu, went to the Wuying Palace to pay their respects. After a long time, Father Wu came out and asked his servants to deliver an edict to the prince." Eunuch Chen replied cautiously.

It was an iron rule in the palace that he could not reveal anything about the emperor. But when the prince spoke, he couldn't say nothing, so he seemed to say nothing, but in fact he said everything that needed to be said.

"That's it." Zhu Zhen nodded. Feng Sheng is the examiner of this examination. Zhu Shan and Zhang Pu are the chief and deputy examiners of this examination. It's not like his father wants to find something for him. It goes without saying.

When the car passed You'anmen, it encountered a traffic jam.

In front of the palace gate, it was difficult for the guards to force the way. He had no choice but to carefully protect Wang Jia and move in little by little with the crowd.

"These are all those who came to see the results today," Deng Duo reported as he glanced around vigilantly: "It's not just the Juzi college students who are taking the exam. The imperial examination is being held for the first time in more than ten years. No one in Beijing wants to come and join in the fun. To enjoy Wenquxing's happiness? Many wealthy families are still planning to catch their son-in-law."

"The Imperial Examination Competition is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Zhu Zhen sighed lightly.

"Damn it, you pretty girl is more lovable than us old men." Jealousy made Deng Duo's facial features distort.

"Where did this go..." Zhu Zhen smiled, but did not tell him that if he left it alone, in a few decades, these rough guys would be kicked to the ground by these pretty boys, and they would step on their balls hard. Friction, and I can't get up anymore.

~~

After finally squeezing into You'anmen, his eyes suddenly became clear. Zhu Zhen quickly urged the guards to move quickly.

After a while, he entered the palace and came to Wuying Hall. He quickly went inside to pay his respects.

In the Wuying Hall, in addition to Zhu Shan and Zhang Pu, the prince and the Minister of Rites, Zhao Mao, were also there. Obviously, the matter was not serious.

Zhu Zhen cast a questioning look at his elder brother. Zhu Biao shook his head slightly, meaning that he had just arrived and didn't know what happened.

Boss Zhu had his back turned to everyone. When he heard the announcement of Zhu Zhen coming in, he turned back and said with an expressionless face: "The results of the general examination are out, and none of your students scored."

"What?!" Even though Zhu Zhen had been trained over the years to not be surprised, he was still shocked.

"One, none?"

"If you don't believe me, see for yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang threw the admission list for the joint examination submitted by the two examiners in front of Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen took the list with both hands and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he didn't see any familiar names.

In fact, under the names of all Chinese-style practitioners, their place of origin is listed, indicating which province they were admitted to. But if you are a college student, you will write "Guozi University" at the bottom. So it is clear at a glance whether there is Chinese style for college students!

Zhu Zhen looked over and over twice, but couldn't find the words Guozi University. Then he shook his head and laughed silently.

The prince came over, took the list from Zhu Zhen's hand, browsed it quickly, then suddenly changed his color, held up the lists, and angrily asked the two examiners: "What the hell are you doing?! How dare you accept such a list?" ? Do you think everyone else is a fool?!"

"..." Zhu Shan and Zhang Pu were kneeling there, having been scolded by Boss Zhu for a long time. At this moment, he was busy crying and explained to the prince:

"Prince Rong Bing, we are also shocked by this result, but as the examiner, we must strictly follow the rules, and we dare not change the ranking of candidates without permission!"

After Zhu Shan finished speaking, Zhang Pu continued: "Yes, Prince, the rules of the examination were drawn up by Xe himself. All examination papers must be copied by the outer curtain officer in name, and then sent to the inner curtain by Song Guogong himself. So we These examiners don’t even know whose paper they are reviewing, so even if they want to show favoritism, they can’t find anyone to target.”

"Until we have ranked the rankings and posted them on the list that cannot be changed, the outside curtain officer will bring in the candidates' papers, and then we will open them together and fill in the corresponding names. The whole process is strictly in accordance with the regulations. There is no chance of cheating!" Zhu Shanye yelled:

"The final list came out and we found that no candidate from Guozi University was selected. We were also panicked, knowing that there would definitely be a disturbance." Zhang Pu said with a trembling gray beard and a tragic look on his face: "But the ranking has been posted on It’s on the wall, and I don’t dare to, let alone touch it without permission. Changing the already arranged rankings for the sake of personal safety is a blasphemy to the imperial talent promotion ceremony!”

What he said was extremely sincere, and coupled with the rich voice of his own subwoofer, it was really convincing.

"Song Guogong, is this the case?" The prince asked Feng Sheng again.

"Go back to the Crown Prince." Feng Sheng hurriedly clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "I watched the whole process, and I really didn't find anything fishy. However, I don't rule out that he has some subtle secrets. I and my thugs didn't notice it."

"No, absolutely not!" The two examiners shook their heads together and said, "This is the first competition in many years. We are all so scared, lest something go wrong, we sleep with our eyes open."

"Then why is this the result?!" The prince suddenly raised his voice and was about to throw the pieces of paper into their faces.

"Prince, please calm down. Is there a possibility that this result will be okay?" Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, who had not dared to say anything, suddenly interjected in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" The prince looked at Zhao Hao coldly.
