It was noon.

Zhang Dongxiang rushed back with a worried expression on his face, and he seemed to be a little panicked when he saw the tricks on the seats in the examination room.

Seeing that Fang Zhengyi was still lying motionless in his original position, he said angrily, "Why are you still here? Why don't you go to invigilate the exam?"

It took less than half a day to find reporters for the six departments, and the rest of the time was basically nothing to do.

Now that the weather is hot, Fangzheng just felt a little drowsy and took a nap on the table.

Fangzheng raised his head, opened his eyelids to look at Zhang Dongxiang, and said vaguely, "Didn't you ask me to stay here until the exam is over? I'm waiting for the exam to end..."

"Where's the poke?!" Zhang Dongxiang became angry for a while.

Tell you to stay, do you really stay?He didn't take his identity seriously at all!

As soon as Fangzheng stretched his arms, a small box appeared on the table.

Open the box, there are several rows of small prints neatly placed inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Dongxiang felt relieved, and went forward to get it.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, Fangzheng handed the box to him first.

As soon as Zhang Dongxiang started to hold it, he felt something wrong with his hand, and took out a piece of paper from under the box, wondering, "What is this?"

"I entrusted someone to buy today's newspaper. It's boring if you're idle. Sit down and read it slowly..." Fangzheng stretched his waist and poured him a cup of herbal tea.

Zhang Dongxiang didn't think much about it, he opened the newspaper and read it carefully.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, your blood pressure immediately soared to the top of your head after reading it!

The entire page of the newspaper is devoted to matters related to the imperial examination, as well as the introduction of this imperial examination, and the interviews with candidates who have come over the years.

Of course, the most important thing is that candidates cannot be free and convenient within nine days, and going to jail is easier than coming here!

There are even harsh comments saying that this group of candidates is making a fuss in a cesspit!

Numerous failed candidates complained about the inhumane treatment in the examination room, saying that it was only because of physical reasons that their talents could not be displayed, otherwise I would definitely have a place on the list!

This move is simply an insult to the imperial examination, an insult to the saint, and an insult to the sage book!

After a while, Zhang Dongxiang put down the newspaper tremblingly.

Trouble!It's just an ordinary exam...how did it make such a fuss!

At this age, this old man should be the last invigilator in this life, how could something go wrong here...

Fang Zhengyi...it must be the bastard Fang Zhengyi!This bastard makes waves wherever he goes.

He hasn't lived in peace since he entered the court!Now it's causing harm to himself again!

Having identified the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhang Dongxiang looked at Fang Zhengyi with red blood in his eyes.

He asked hoarsely, "Banshan Daily! You asked a reporter to write this?!"

Fangzheng waved his hands hurriedly: "No! No, this... Before entering the Tribute Court, I discussed with the crown prince to let the Banshan Newspaper do a special issue about the imperial examination..."

"Prince...Prince..." Zhang Dongxiang muttered: "Has this newspaper been distributed to the people?"

"Yes! Today's newspapers are all manuscripts written yesterday. New printing workshops have been built in the east, west, north, south, and north of the capital. As long as the manuscripts have been delivered, they will be typeset and printed in batches. By this time, they should all be sold out!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dongxiang sat down on the chair dejectedly, lost in thought.

Fang Zhengyi also kept quiet.

Originally, I didn't want to show him this thing, but I was afraid that the stimulation would be too exciting for the old man.

If you can speak the truth, everything will be saved.

But if the truth doesn't work out, it can only mobilize the pressure of public opinion to oppress a wave.

Things are neither too big nor too small.

Everyone sticks to this unspoken rule and no one cares about it, just like a small tumor growing on a person's body.

Although it is usually not taken seriously, but when you touch it in the examination room, some people will cry out for pain.

I just want to do my best to help the newspaper reporters solve the problem, but now it is getting more and more troublesome.

This heavy punch... should have an effect.

Seeing that Zhang Dongxiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Fang Zhengyi took the initiative and said, "What's wrong, third uncle? Do you want me to send the stamps to the examiners now?"

"Send...no! Can't send it!" Zhang Dongxiang shuddered and realized.

Now there must be a lot of discussion outside, and countless scholars have expressed their dissatisfaction.

But these are all good to say, after all, those people did not take the imperial examination, and their emotions have long since passed, even if the public is angry for a while, it is nothing.

But this year's candidates are different!

Candidates who have just failed the examination cannot bear the excitement at all. The newspapers sent out from the capital spread to the whole world. At that time, countless candidates who have failed the examination will feel resentful because of this matter, which will be troublesome, and it may cause civil unrest!

Originally, I was quite happy to be able to invigilate the exam. After all, at this age, it could be regarded as the last invigilation.

I didn't expect such a big mistake to happen!

History is like iron!It was really an accident, not to mention that it was not good for the imperial court, I am afraid that I will be infamous for thousands of years!

"Fang Zhengyi! You've made this old man miserable! How dare the Banshan Newspaper publish everything! Is this something that can be said?"

"You are using it for private use!" Zhang Dongxiang said angrily.

Fang Zhengyi immediately became displeased: "What are you talking about, we will report everything about the people's livelihood!"

"The imperial examinations are related to the people of the world, why can't they apply?!"

Zhang Dongxiang's forehead was half exposed with blue veins: "You don't have a brain! Look at what is written on it!"

"Countless candidates who failed the exam expressed their dissatisfaction with this matter, and this time the candidates will make a fuss, and the consequences will not be borne by you and me!"

"How will it end then! Tell me!"

Fang Zhengyi "suddenly realized", his eyes suddenly became straight, and he said in a daze, "Ah!"

"I didn't expect...I really didn't expect it to be so deep inside."

"A group of unscrupulous people... don't they just use this to slander the court! Third Uncle, what should we do?!"

Zhang Dongxiang was extremely annoyed, but he couldn't say anything more seeing him like this.

Fang Zhengyi never reports good news but not bad news at court meetings, so he has no reason to use the newspaper office to find trouble.

This should be an accident...

"What should I do? What can the old man do! Now that the newspapers have been sent out, is it possible that they can be taken back one by one from the hands of the people?"

"The tributary colleges in the capital are easy to deal with. At worst, you don't need to poke them to appease these candidates. But what about other tributary colleges? It will take time for news from the capital to spread to other places."

Fangzheng thought for a moment, then calmly said: "Don't be afraid! This matter may not be as difficult as you think!"

"With the price of paper in the world and the widespread cultivation of sweet potatoes, there will be more and more scholars sooner or later!"

"There will be such discussions sooner or later. It may be a good thing to find out early that we can prevent erroneous events."

"Third uncle, you are the chief examiner, don't you still have the right to report directly to His Majesty in the examination room? I think you should hurry up and submit a memorial to His Majesty now."

"Stop stamping immediately, and candidates who have been unfairly treated in the examination room change seats in time."

"There is also the latrine in the tribute courtyard. After the exam is over, hurry up and repair it. Keep away from the examinees. You can't just make do with it and pretend nothing happened!"

"In this way, before the imperial examination is over and the public opinion has not been spread, the decree will first spread to the people. By then, the scholars in the world will not be grateful? The imperial court will look at them!"

"Aren't you always the great hero of the world's scholars?!"
