Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Yanan Court of the Ministry of Officials.

Officials from the Six Departments, as well as officials from Shangshu Province and Menxia Province, all came to the south courtyard today, looking curiously at the list posted on the wall, and seeing the name of the number one scholar, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Elder Sun Chong is not the number one scholar?"

"Isn't the chief examiner this time Changsun Chong's father? Changsun Shangshu actually gave the champion to someone else?"

"Who knows Zhang Dun?"

"never heard of that!"

"I have a little impression, it seems to be the cook of Zuixianlou?"

"What? Even a cook can be the number one scholar? Then we are not as good as a cook?"

"Let me take a look at the test paper he answered, "Tang Law Discussion"?"

People from the Ministry of Punishment looked at the test papers of the Ming Law Department posted on the wall, and the more they looked at it, the more dignified their expressions became. Some even couldn't help saying: "This guy is a talent!"

People from the Rites Department excitedly pointed at the test paper and said:

"Look at the Mingzi test paper he answered. There are five different styles of characters. If you say that this character is from a famous calligrapher, I believe it!"

"Don't look at those, just look at the math department!" The person from the household department said excitedly: "This kid's arithmetic is excellent. Look at the last two questions. I read them all, but I don't know how to solve them!"

"This "Ma Shuo" is really written..." The people in the Shangshu Province looked at the essays at the end of the Jinshi examination paper written by Zhang Dun, and they were all dumbfounded, "A wonderful article!"

While everyone was discussing, Changsun Chong, Wei Xian and Du Zhong suddenly ran over.

Before the three could say anything, Zhang Dun also ran over and shouted angrily: "There is fraud in the imperial examination this time, I want to see the chief examiner!"

Chapter 133 Didn't You Write It?How do you explain these two words?

Hearing the sound, the people who were watching the names on the imperial examination list, and the officials from various ministries wearing official robes all looked back curiously.

Out of the crowd, the provincial governor wearing a scarlet official robe came out curiously, and asked, "Who are you?"

"My next son, Sun Chong!"

"Down with Eucommia!"

"I'm Wei Xian!"

Changsun Chong, Du Zhong, and Wei Xian hurriedly cupped their hands at the middle-aged man in scarlet official robes and said.

It suddenly dawned on the disciples, Changsun Wuji, Du Yan's son, and Wei Zheng's nephew?

He looked again at Zhang Dun who had just shouted that there was fraud in the imperial examination and wanted to see the chief examiner.

"Next Zhangton!"

Zhang Dun cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Dun?Hearing this name, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all stared at him.

"So you are Zhang Dun?"

The doorman stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face, "Your answer to Mingfa is very good."

"Tang Law has discussed that it is better than martial arts and moral law. Your great achievements will definitely be famous in the annals of history!"

Among the crowd, the officials of the Ministry of Rites echoed: "Mingzike is also good. The five different styles of characters in Mingzike are pleasing to the eye, and you can be called a master of calligraphy!"

"It's really not easy for you to have such calligraphy at such a young age. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a genius!"

In the crowd, two people wearing the official robes of the household department came out and said with a smile: "Ming Suanke, it's amazing!"

"Especially the last two questions you asked, we officials of the household department couldn't figure it out just now."

A minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled and said: "Why don't you talk about the Jinshi section? I think it's not easy for that wonderful article in the Jinshi section!"

Did I listen to you praise me?

I still want you to praise me?

Zhang Dun took a deep breath and said loudly: "Ministers, the reason why this junior took part in the imperial examination this time, the reason why I answered the four subjects of Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu, and Jinshi is because I went to the wrong examination room!"

"What I'm really taking is Mingjing!"

Hearing this, everyone didn't feel annoyed at all, and the subordinates smiled and said, "Fortunately, you went to the wrong examination room, otherwise how would we know that you have such talent?"

"When you talk about Mingjing, the old man admires it even more!"

"That handwriting is very well written!"

Um? !Zhang Dun's eyes froze, what is written is very good, my Ming Jing subject's questions are all written indiscriminately!

"You still don't want to admit it?"

Under the door gave Shizhong raised his palm and pointed to the test paper on the wall, saying: "Your test paper is pasted there, you can look at it yourself."

Zhang Dun couldn't bear it and ran over. When he saw his test questions, he was shocked and laughed angrily, "Who changed my test paper?!"

Dare to say that there was no fraud in the imperial examination?

Did I answer this paper?

Which of the above questions is answered by me?

"What do you mean by changing your test paper?"

Hearing this, Chang Sun Chong also rushed over, took a look, and immediately looked happy, and said loudly: "Ministers, the words on the paper are not his words! These are Chu Suiliang's words!"

Wei Xian and Du Zhong also ran over to have a look, excited as if catching a fallacy in the article, and shouted, "Brother Changsun is right, this is not Zhang Dun's writing!"

"I know Chu Qijulang's words, and I can testify!"

The officials of various ministries standing nearby looked at the young people in front of them in confusion, what happened to these candidates?

Especially that Zhang Dun.

You are the No. [-] Scholar, Chang Sun Chong and the others said that there was fraud in the imperial examination, but it still makes sense, why are you yelling about?

"what happened?"

"Who's yelling here?"

At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials strode out with a straight face, hands behind his back.

When the officials of various ministries saw him, they all cupped their hands, and the doormen pointed to Zhang Dun and others in the matter, saying:

"Specifically, you ask them."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned and looked at Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun recognized that he was wearing a robe of a minister, and said solemnly:

"Dun, let the servant know that there is fraud in the imperial examination!"

Chang Sun Chong also echoed: "My subordinate, Chang Sun Chong, also feels that there is a possibility of fraud in this imperial examination."

"absurd!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned even tighter, and scolded: "There is absolutely no possibility of fraud in the imperial examination this time."

"You say there is a possibility of cheating, then it can only be that the invigilators and graders are cheating for personal gain!"

"This time the invigilators and graders are all from the Ministry of Officials."

"All the officials in our official department, everyone can sit upright! I can guarantee that they will never cheat for personal gain!"

As he said that, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stared at Changsun Chong, and said, "Young Master Changsun, it is Shangsun Shangshu who made the tribute this time. If there is really a matter of favoritism and fraud, Shangsun Shangshu can hardly be blamed. You can think clearly about your words." ?”

Chang Sun Chong choked, his face was cloudy and uncertain, he lowered his head and said nothing.

He wanted to prove that Zhang Dun's test papers were not from Zhang Dun, but he didn't want to drag his father into the water.

"And you!"

The servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs glared at Zhang Dun, "I can understand their nonsense. Why did you follow suit, or were you the first to call out that there was fraud in the imperial examination?"

Everyone nodded, that's right, it's fine for others to justify, what are you justifying, how could the number one scholar call the imperial examination fraud?

"I have proof!"

Zhang Dun raised his finger and pointed to his paper on the wall, and said seriously: "This is not my test paper!"

The servant of the official department glanced at the test paper he was pointing at, shook his head and said, "Does this test paper come from you, does it matter so much?"

After speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked to the wall, looked up at the other test papers of Zhang Dun, and said:

"Look at the first four subjects you answered, it's "Tang Lu Shu Yi", there are five different styles of characters, there are two questions that can stump the examiners, and the "Ma Shuo". "

"You can answer these four subjects so well. To you, Ming Jing is like pediatrics!"

"You can definitely answer it!"

Zhang Dun said angrily: "Whether I can answer it is my business. You have a problem with the imperial examination, that is another matter!"

The servant of the official department said indifferently: "You said you didn't write this?"

"Yes!" Zhang Dun nodded.

The official minister looked at him, "Then let me ask you, it wasn't you who wrote it, but who wrote it?"

"Chu Suiliang!" Zhang Dun said loudly.

"Really? You wait here."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stared at him meaningfully for two seconds, then turned around and walked into the office of the Ministry of Officials, and quickly came out with two pieces of writing.

"Come and see."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials opened the two sets of words and said, "Did you write the words on it?"

When Zhang Dun saw it, he recognized it at a glance. When he took Li Lizhi to Dongshi to buy things, because he didn't have enough money, he wrote two words at that time in exchange for jewelry, a set of clothes and shoes.

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "It's my word."

"Then I will ask you again."

The servant of the official department squinted his eyes and said, "Are these two words the same as the handwriting on the test paper?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dun's expression changed slightly.

Chapter 134 Zhang Dun: Are you sure these people aren't playing me?

The corner of the minister's mouth slightly turned up and he said: "The two pieces of characters you wrote were written by Chu Suiliang. You just admitted that you wrote them yourself."

"The questions you answered on the test paper also used Chu Suiliang's words, but you said that Chu Suiliang wrote them for you?"

"You think we are fools?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sneered and said: "Chu Suiliang is the adjutant of Changsun Shangshu in this imperial examination. After the imperial examination started, Chu Qijulang and Changsun Shangshu have been staying together."

"Where do you have time to help you write?"

"So, this is what you wrote!"

"..."

The corner of Zhang Dun's mouth twitched. Could this count as lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot?

He was absolutely sure that the test paper of Ming Jing Division pasted on the wall in front of him was not written by him at all, it was definitely written by Chu Suiliang!

But now it's not his crotch to wipe the yellow mud!

Because, back in Dongshi, he exchanged Chu Suiliang's characters for real things.

Moreover, although the words on the test paper were not written by him, he could recognize the answers in it at a glance, and they came from his mouth.

Zhang Dun cursed inwardly, co-authoring that Chu Suiliang ran to Zuixianlou with the imperial examination questions and told himself that this was the purpose of dictating the answers by himself!

"Zhang Zhuangyuan, do you have anything else to say?" The official minister looked at him with a smile.

Zhang Dun's thoughts were flying, and now there is another way, solemnly said: "I have an idea, I wrote this paper, or Chu Qijulang, call Chu Qijulang, and you can find out if you ask!"

"Chu Qijulang can't come now!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials waved his hand and said: "He is meeting with His Majesty."

That is to say, I really wiped my crotch with yellow mud this time?

The corners of Zhang Dun's eyes were twitching. Damn it, he shouldn't have gone to the wrong exam room. If he didn't go to the wrong exam room and didn't answer the four questions, he wouldn't have this result!

"It seems that the debate has come to an end."
