At the beginning of the game to supervise the country, Zulong was stunned. Is this my Daqin?

The eunuch announced loudly: "No.1!"

Everyone listened with pricked ears, they all knew what No.1 this time meant.

Not only does it mean that the exam is good, but the strategy of governing the country written by it, to a large extent, should coincide with your majesty.

In other words, if No.1 is obtained, it must be reused in the future.

No one doubts this.

Xiao He glanced at Zhang Liang and shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Zifang, brother Zifang, I, Xiao He, still lose to you."

Under everyone's expectant eyes, the eunuch finally said the name.

"Zhang Liang!"

Cai Zhuo stood up with a smile on his face: "Thank you...??"

The smile froze on his face.

what?

Did he hear it wrong?

No.1's name is not him?

Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.

Especially Ying Zheng.

"You have a good relationship with Zhang Liang, but you don't need to thank him for this matter."

He was stepping down the steps for Cai Zhuo, Cai Zhuo's face flickered, and he didn't sit down for a long time.

Yingzheng's face is not very good-looking. It is your honor to give you face. Since you don't want it, don't blame me for being rude.

So, he asked lightly, "Why are you dissatisfied with the result?"

Cai Zhuo had already forgotten who he was facing at this time, and he said with a look of resentment: "Your Majesty, I think that the article I wrote is better than anyone present."

"But now, Zhang Liang's generation is actually able to rank first, what can he do?"

"I implore Your Majesty to publish the rankings of all the test papers, and pass on the articles, so that the ministers can personally judge whether it is reasonable or not."

Ying Zheng was about to get angry when he heard the words, but Ying Ziqi stood up.

He said with a smile: "Father, since Master Cai has doubts, let the officials pass the test papers according to the method he said. Of course, the names must still be sealed. How about judging a first name at that time?"

Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Ying Ziqi, wondering what his plans were.

After a little hesitation, he nodded.

"That's it!"

Chapter 79 It's Not Excessive To Exile Him Directly

According to Ying Zheng's thinking, if you don't want to lose face, then I'll just not give it and it's over.

Hearing what Ying Ziqi said, he understood that Ying Ziqi wanted to help Zhang Liang.

The son has such an idea, and the other party is a not very important person.

Well, it's acceptable, so the test paper was quickly resealed.

Read it one by one.

The ministers were still apprehensive at first, but they were fascinated by watching it.

"This article is well written!"

"The article I read is also fine. Hey, I don't know which colleague has such insight!"

Of course there are good and bad.

Good quality articles, everyone is thinking of ways to praise.

They are all colleagues, and no one wants to offend anyone.

But for some outrageous things, they don't have the slightest scruples, and they just open their mouths to spray.

"This article is simply nonsense!"

"Huh? Let me see, hiss! I don't know what to say, how could I, Daqin, be like this?"

"It's hard to see, it's hard to see!"

Soon, this article has been spread among the officials.

In things, generally only the best and the worst are easier to remember.

The same goes for these articles today.

They quickly selected the best one written among them.

And by the way, the worst one.

During this process, Cai Zhuo also read a few articles, but felt that they were not as good as his own.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, after telling this matter, he regretted it a little.

But things have come to this, and we can only bite the bullet.

He looked at the best one and the worst one selected by other ministers, and nodded.

"I think this one is the best. I don't know who wrote the other one. It's all empty words without any specific measures. It must be someone who is good at delusions."

Seeing that the courtiers were discussing a lot, Ying Ziqi stood up and said, "Everyone, have you decided?"

The ministers cupped their hands and said, "The minister has made a decision."

Ying Ziqi nodded: "Very well, let's collect your opinions over there and organize them into a new result."

When the eunuch heard the words, they approached the ministers one by one, and the ministers whispered their thoughts in the eunuch's ear.

The eunuch recorded with a pen and paper.

Soon, the comments will be collected.

Back at Ying Zheng's side, the eunuch presented the paper to him.

After Ying Zheng saw it, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

"This time, it's your choice. If something happens again, don't blame me for being merciless."

What Ying Zheng said was not salty, but the officials below were actually in a cold sweat.

They still understand His Majesty Shi Huang's temperament.

If Ying Ziqi hadn't said something, maybe he really wanted to kill someone.

"Father, please also announce the best and worst names in the current test papers."

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhuo hurriedly said, "Hold on, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng looked at him rather displeased.

"What's the matter?"

Cai Zhuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions, but I think that since the last five were dismissed from office when they were on the street, there should be corresponding rewards and punishments for the rearranged first and last positions, so that be fair."

Ying Zheng was speechless when he heard the words, but on the surface he looked at Cai Zhuo indifferently.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Cai Zhuo raised his chest.

"The so-called imperial examinations are related to the court officials, and the rewards and punishments should be related to the positions. As for the rewards and punishments, I hope your Majesty will learn from them."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Alright, the first person will be promoted to three levels, and the last person will be expelled from the court, how about it!"

His words seemed to be a question, but in fact, there was no room for the ministers to refute.

Cai Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, he was basically sure that his article must be the best one, and the one he handed in together was the one he said was false.

It can be said that the victory is in hand!

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng looked a little weird, and he glanced at Ying Ziqi.

Ying Ziqi also suppressed a smile.

He didn't know why, why did Cai Zhuo always dig holes for himself today?

And the reward is already so obvious, I'm afraid many people have noticed it, this Cai Zhuo must have lost his mind, right?

Upgrading to the third level has the same meaning as being an agent.

The agent position is three levels lower than the original level. Once this reward appears, anyone with a little brain can figure it out.

Even if he, Cai Zhuo, really won the first place, can he be promoted to three levels?

Now that he is Tingwei, if he is promoted to three ranks, he may surpass the prime minister.

But Ying Ziqi didn't care so much, this old boy made Mu Yan black him, he should be a little more crazy.

Zhang Liang waited for the result calmly, he understood that His Majesty could forcefully suppress this small disturbance.

But in that case, even if he retains the first place, his colleagues may not be convinced.

The young master's proposal can be said to be a conspiracy in a certain sense.

In front of His Majesty, no one would dare to choose a poorly written article against their will.

And so, he, Zhang Liang, also has the confidence to be among the best, so the officials are forced to recognize his talent.

This made his future journey much easier, so he was grateful to Ying Ziqi in his heart.

Ying Zheng said lightly: "Since that's the case, let's announce the results, and you can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these two articles."

He was the only one who read all the test papers once or even several times.

Ying Zheng was deeply impressed by Cai Zhuo's article.

This profoundness is not a good impression, but a bad impression.

If it wasn't for a few more nonsense people who were dismissed from office in the street after that, he would be one of them.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Those who can do it can do it at any time, and those who can't dig a hole will jump in by themselves."

Isn't that right, if Cai Zhuo doesn't make trouble today and spends the day in peace, he will be fine.

Now that I proposed rewards and punishments, I thought it was cheating others.

In fact, he threw himself into a dead hole, and he couldn't escape even if he ran.

"The first is the author of this article, Zhang Liang!"

The eunuch opened the seal and announced the name directly.

Cai Zhuo was completely dumbfounded.

He read the two papers sent up, and there was Zhang Liang's again, and it was still the first?

Doesn't that mean that my article was actually ranked last?

Sure enough, the eunuch gave Cai Zhuo a look of pity.

"The last place, Cai Zhuo."

Cai Zhuo stared at the test paper in the eunuch's hand stupidly: "Impossible, how could it be, what Zhang Liang wrote is nothing but empty words, how can it compare with my article?"

"Father, can you let me take a look at the answer sheet of Mr. Cai?"

Ying Zheng hummed.

Ying Ziqi took the test paper and glanced at it.

Good guy, it was because I couldn't see it before, but now I can see the content officially, Ying Ziqi thinks this guy has lost well, let alone being expelled from the court.

It is not too much to exile him directly!
