The strongest Marquis in history

Zhou Guandao: "It can't be dealt with now, and it will be temporarily detained. Wait until your incident is over and the unprecedented alert in Chang'an is over, and then deal with Duanmubai. Otherwise, it is easy to make mistakes. During the imperial examination period, the Intelligence Bureau will go all out. If something goes wrong with the timing, it’s not good.”

Wu Fu said: "Father is wise!"

Zhou Guan waved his hand and said, "I don't have anything to entrust to you as a father, go and prepare. As for Ba Zifeng and others who live with Duanmubai, the arrangements have been made for my father."

"Everyone in Ba Zifeng's camp has already left. As for Ba Zifeng, he was the only one left. He participated and benefited him. He dare not speak nonsense outside."

Zhou Guan said: "Especially Duanmu Bai doesn't go out on weekdays, and there are few people who know him, so you don't have to worry about doing it boldly."

"Yes!"

Friday Fu nodded.

When he came back, he mainly wanted to ask about the situation and listen to his father's instructions.Wu Fu changed his robe, he changed into a very ordinary robe, after all he is now Duanmubai.

After Wu Fu left, Zhou Guan also entered the court.

When Wu Fu returned to the Imperial College, he still maintained a cool image and didn't say much to the rest of the people.Time passed by little by little, and half an hour was over in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Zishan went out of the Imperial College in person. He looked at all the people gathered here and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Done!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Zhou Zishan glanced, and the 30 people had been arranged according to their respective rankings, and the order of priority had been arranged.

Zhou Zishan nodded and said, "Let's go."

All together, they entered the palace to prepare for the holy face.

Chapter 794 The Chaos in the Hall

The imperial palace, in the Summer Palace.

Wang Qi was reviewing government affairs, and at the same time, the list of imperial examinations had been sent to his desk.

Not surprisingly, Duanmu Bai was at the top of the list.

As for the rest of the people, Wang Qi also has some impressions. After all, he has been around the examination room and has a general understanding of the general situation of the imperial examination, so it's not like he doesn't know everything.

When Wang Qi was reviewing government affairs, an eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhou Shangshu brought all the scholars who entered the list to the palace to ask for an audience, and now they are waiting outside the palace."

Wang Qi ordered: "Notify the court ministers that everyone gather in Chengtian Hall to meet the imperial examination personnel this time."

"Yes!"

The eunuch turned to inform.

Wang Qi was not in a hurry for the time being. He looked at the government affairs, but his eyes were deep.

This time the imperial examination was not a small matter, so I just took the opportunity to deal with it.About two quarters of an hour later, the eunuch came to report that all the personnel had arrived and were only waiting for Wang Qi to go.

Wang Qi changed into the dragon robe and gown, and wore the twelve-pronged crown on his head. As soon as he entered the hall, the eunuch shouted for His Majesty to come, and then all the officials came to see him.

Wang Qi took his seat, let Baiguanping behind him, and then ordered the scholars to enter the hall.

Zhou Guan is also among the officials. He is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as an important minister in the court.It's just that now, he is watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart and standing still, and there is always a feeling of being a thief in his heart, as if Wang Qi is looking at him.

Zhou Guan panicked, but he remained calm.What he arranged was extremely secretive.Moreover, the emperor has always been in the palace, so it is impossible to know what he is doing.

Wu Wufu, Xu Mingwei, and Qian Song led the way forward and stood in order from left to right.

Then, there are 27 people who follow.

After everyone stood still, they saluted respectfully.A person is extremely excited, and even a little restrained.Among the 30 people, there are children from aristocratic families, but more are from poor families, they account for the majority.

Wang Qi's eyes fell on Wu Fu and other people. He didn't know the identity of Wu Fu for the time being, so he said directly: "It's not easy for 30 people to stand out from tens of thousands of people. I also look forward to your future. Shine brilliantly. But before that, I have one more thing to arrange here."

"Come here, prepare pens, ink, paper, inkstone, and desks, and place them in front of everyone in order."

Wang Qi ordered directly.

With an order, the eunuch who had already prepared for a long time quickly brought all the items and arranged them. Thirty scholars took their seats one by one, and everyone did not look panic-stricken.

Wang Qi continued: "Now, you are writing out all the answers to the first question in the exam silently, and you can write as you answered. After all, you wrote all the answers yourself, so it shouldn't be difficult. So , I will give you a quarter of an hour to transcribe."

"let's start!"

Wang Qi ordered directly.

All the scholars responded in unison.

It's just that Wufu froze for a moment. What kind of operation is this?He listened to his father's explanation of Duanmubai's affairs, and also learned of Duanmubai's handwriting through his father.

The problem is, how Duanmubai answered, his father had a general explanation, but he didn't remember anything at all.There is only one general direction of thinking in his mind, which is completely useless.

Even for Friday's blessing, I don't know how Duanmubai got to the point and broke the point. These are all problems.

Zhou Guan's brain exploded in Weng's.

There was a momentary loss of focus in his eyes.

He never thought that such a situation would happen, Wang Qi's assessment was completely unexpected to him.Zhou Guan's consideration was that even if the emperor would ask about the situation, Wu Fu would generally know about it.

In addition, other questions in the school examination, or asking Wufu to write with a brush, Wufu can almost deal with it.

Just let silently recite the answers thanked before, Friday blessing may not be comprehensive.

It took Zhou Guan a long time before he came back to his senses.He only felt that his legs were weak, as if he was about to fall to the ground.At this time, Zhou Guan can only hope for Wu Fu's clever response.

The direction of Duanmubai's answer, as well as the general content, have been described by him.

Zhou Guan looked at Wu Fu, and it happened that Wu Fu also glanced in Zhou Guan's direction at this time, and then he looked away, and then began to think a little sullenly.

This move was discovered by Wang Qi.

Wang Qi already knew that Duanmu Bai was replaced, so although he is observing the thirty scholars, at the moment, he is focusing on observing Wu Fu.When he noticed Wu Fu's gaze, he looked in Zhou Guan's direction, and Zhou Guan also happened to look over, Wang Qi glanced at it for a while, and had a guess in his mind.

What happened this time, Wang Qi had previously deduced that it happened among the officials reviewing papers.

These people leaked the news, which led to Duanmu Bai's replacement.So after discovering Zhou Guan, Wang Qi had a guess.Furthermore, Zhou Guan is a servant, which is already second only to Shangshu in the court, so he knows it.

Zhou Guan was a person who belonged to the Xuzhou family in the past, and he was not bad on weekdays, but now he has changed.

Wang Qi withdrew his gaze and waited quietly.

Standing below, Zhou Guan felt his heart skip a beat.

A bad premonition arose in his heart, as if the emperor had just glanced at him.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

Seeing this scene, all the officials were a little stunned.Because Wang Qi's arrangement was too weird, which made people feel something was wrong.To know the questions that have already been assessed, there is no need to assess them again.

This is the imperial examination, and on such a solemn occasion, the emperor should examine and inquire in person.Or, in front of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, re-assess the test.

Zhou Zishan is the most sensitive.

As soon as he heard Wang Qi's words, he knew something was wrong.Zhou Zishan looked at Wang Qi, saw that Wang Qi's expression was calm, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see what was going on for the time being, so he could only wait for the time being.

Time passed little by little.

A quarter of an hour is fleeting.

When a eunuch shouted that the time was up, all the scholars stopped with solemn expressions.

It's just that Friday Fu's face turned bitter. He heard Zhou Guan say what the first question was about, and he knew Duanmubai's thinking in general. The ingredients of the dish with the same question, but different people stir-fry, the taste of the stir-fry is different.

For the same question, even if the idea is the same, the overall details and the idea of ​​solving the question are different.So within a quarter of an hour of Friday blessing, even though it was finished, the content was somewhat inappropriate, which was very different from Duanmu Bai.

Wang Qi said lightly: "Lin Yuanchong!"

"exist!"

Lin Yuanchong's evil spirit stood up.

Although he has resigned now and is no longer in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but this time, he is personally responsible for the assessment and marking of papers, and Wang Qi specially notified him to come, so he has now stepped forward.

Wang Qi said: "Dong Lin, take out the test papers of all the scholars."

"According to the order!"

Lin Yuanchong ordered to go down immediately.

When he entered the palace for an audience, he brought all the test papers with him, but now he ordered all the test papers to be brought in soon.

Lin Yuanchong said: "Your Majesty, all the test papers have been brought in, please give your orders."

Wang Qidao: "Put the test papers of each scholar in front of each other, and then compare them one by one. Mr. Lin, this matter is up to you to compare carefully, starting with Duanmubai."

"Old minister obeys!"

Lin Yuanchong asked people to distribute their test papers.

He walked to Wufu's side.

Lin Yuanchong had read Duanmubai's test paper carefully, and knew Duanmubai's test paper well.Even if he had never read the test papers he had already answered, Lin Yuanchong could basically write them silently.

It's just that when Lin Yuanchong saw Wufu's test paper, his eyes widened, and his cloudy eyes showed disbelief and shock.The fonts of the two test papers look similar on the surface, but in fact, in the eyes of calligraphers like Lin Yuanchong, they are full of flaws and there are too many mistakes.

If you look at the content carefully, it is full of flaws.

The overall context of the two seems to be the same, but in fact the way of solving the problem is completely different.Compared with Duanmubai's article, this article of Wufufu is far, far worse.

Judging from this article in Wufu Fu, it is impossible to even enter the top [-].

Lin Yuanchong is also an old Jianghu in the court. He felt that Wang Qi's arrangement was not right before, and then when he saw the test paper of Wufu, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

In an instant, Lin Yuanchong understood.

This is a problem!

Lin Yuanchong patted Wu Fu on the shoulder and said, "You, stand up."

Friday Fu stood up tremblingly.

The expression on his face was even more worried, because he was directly named by Lin Yuanchong, obviously something was wrong.

This scene fell in Zhou Guan's eyes.

His heart skipped a beat, and there was a touch of panic in his heart.He even felt that his legs were weak, even though he was bold, but at the moment, his heart was trembling.

Zhou Guan thought that it was impossible to leak what happened this time.Everything in front of him surprised him. What went wrong?

It is impossible to leak the news!

When Zhou Guan's mind was full of thoughts, Lin Yuanchong had already moved down one by one.With Lin Yuanchong's eyesight, he could tell what was going on at a glance, and the selection had been completed in a short period of time.

Lin Yuanchong made a circle, looked at Wang Qi, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the situation of the thirty scholars, that is, Duanmubai, is different. First, the fonts are different; second, after cutting into the topic The explanation is very different. I can judge that Duanmubai's test paper is most likely written by someone else, and then he came to the palace to take the test."

This is Lin Yuanchong's judgment.

He is only inferring this now, after all, Lin Yuanchong can't think of other possibilities.

That's the only thing that can happen.

Wu Wufu fell to the ground with a thud. In this court hall, facing the princes, especially Wang Qi, the pressure on his face made Wu Fu collapse on the ground in one fell swoop, completely losing his fighting spirit. Fear in my heart.

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Guan immediately knelt on the ground and crawled out.

The expression on his face was serious, and he knew that the matter could not be hidden.Because of Wu Fu's disposition, he is not someone who can grit his teeth, and is not someone who can keep secrets. Once interrogated, he will definitely leak it.

Therefore, Zhou Guan came out and confessed directly.

Zhou Guan knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, it was the minister who arranged for someone to take the exam for my son on Friday. Then, he pretended to be Duanmubai to replace him. The old minister is guilty, please forgive me."

According to what Lin Yuanchong said, he only said that he was taking the exam, not that Duanmubai was arrested under coercion.

The two crimes are completely different.

In the hall, there was already an uproar.All the officials looked shocked, especially Zhou Zishan, who never expected that the person he selected would make such a big mistake.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's ignorance caused problems in the imperial examinations. Your Majesty, please punish me."

Zhou Zishan also knelt down to plead guilty.

This matter was because he didn't think carefully, so he was the one who confessed.
