The male supporting role has been promoted [Quick Transmigration]

Ming and Qing palaces.

In the extremely luxurious hall, the maids stood respectfully on both sides, and a beautiful woman was half lying on the white marble velvet recliner in the middle. The woman was petite, but she was covered with an invisible coercion and luxury.

There was a man kneeling in front of the woman. The man was in a mess, weeping on the ground and crying, "Auntie, that Wang Yuanzhi is really deceiving people. The servant of the Ministry of Rites is actually his old friend, teacher, and he made such a big blow to me in front of everyone." It's embarrassing, you must make the decision for me!"

The person on the ground is the disastrously defeated Li Wenfu, and the woman is the aunt Li Wenfu mentioned a few days ago, the imperial concubine Li Wenyi.

Li Wenyi didn't listen to Li Wenfu's one-sided words, and frowned slightly, "I have already recommended you to the emperor for the palace examination two months later, and you will have a bright future at that time. You have already passed the test, so why add trouble?"

Li Wenfu lowered his head, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and cried, "Auntie, my nephew is also unwilling. Then Wang Yuanzhi surpassed me after only studying for a few days. There must be a servant of the Ministry of Rites behind him, maybe..."

Li Wenyi sighed, and was helped up by the maid next to her, and waved all the palace servants to go down.

After the palace people filed out, Li Wenyi frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Don't you know how much you own? Then Huaishan Academy let you in for the sake of this palace. You really think you have money?" How capable is it? You can get to this day without looking at how much effort this palace has put in for you! It’s simply foolish to do this for a young examinee!”

"Auntie, my nephew knows it's wrong, but Wang Yuanzhi is definitely not simple. Maybe the person behind him is the Minister of Rites, or Chen Taifu."

"Chen Zheng won't do that, but it's possible for the Minister of Rites."

Li Wenyi reclined again, "What did Xueshi Sun say?"

Li Wenfu quickly replied, "Then Xueshi Sun is indeed the one chosen by you, Auntie. It was all up to him to get the test papers and answers in advance that day. But this time he said that with the intervention of the Minister of Rites, he couldn't make the decision. Maybe this time my nephew Really..."

Li Wenyi lowered her eyes and looked at her bright red nails, "It's a bit difficult to do now, the Minister of Rites is not from this palace, and you pig brains have been caught by the public again."

"Auntie, Wang Yuanzhi not only falsified the imperial examination, but even insulted you, saying that you... that you are not worthy of being an imperial concubine, and that you are arrogant and vicious!"

Following Li Wenfu's narration, Li Wenyi's expression turned a little dark, "Presumptuous! Did he really say that?"

Li Wenfu quickly lowered his head, "Nephew would never dare to lie, you are his most respected aunt, of course my nephew will hold your grievances for you, but my nephew is incompetent and ruined your plan."

"Since this is the case, it is not your fault that Wang Yuanzhi really deceived others too much. I have my own way of dealing with this matter, so you can go back and wait."

"Thank you auntie!"

Li Wenfu came out of the Ming and Qing palaces with gratitude, wiped the tears from his face at the corner, straightened his clothes, and with a smile of successful plot on his face, he walked out of the palace haughtily.

In the past three days, not only Li Wenfu was anxiously and expectantly waiting for the result, but also affected the hearts of countless candidates. Only Xu Ran, who was the center of the whirlpool, was very calm, eating, drinking, and sleeping.

When the rankings were re-released, a large number of candidates had already stopped at the gate of the city in advance, but they were shocked by the results.

"Wang Yuanzhi is Huiyuan!!!"

"He didn't cheat!!!"

Wang Yuanzhi is still the top member of the list. This is the result of the second test by the Minister of Rites, and it is absolutely impossible to cheat in front of all the candidates.

However, Li Wenfu, who slandered him for cheating, didn't deal with it. He just canceled his second place in this exam, and he can still participate in the palace exam two months later.

"What happened? Why didn't he get banned for life?"

The examinees whispered to each other noisily.

At this time, someone said, "Isn't Li Wenfu's aunt the Concubine Wen?"

In an instant, everyone shut up, and never talked about this matter again, but started to predict the No. [-] pick.

Concubine Wen Gui, who doesn't know in the world, she is very beautiful, after entering the palace, she was very pleased with the Emperor, promoted all the way, with vicious methods, and besides, there is no queen in the palace, she is recognized as the invisible queen!

While Xu Ran was preparing for the imperial examination, there was also a gossip that spread like wildfire, saying that the real cheater was Li Wenfu.He bribed the examiner with his aunt's relationship.

Someone also singled out the news that Li Wenfu hadn't passed the children's examination for more than ten years. After entering Huaishan Academy, although he worked hard, his grades were still unsightly. Compared with his performance in the provincial examination, he beat several candidates to get second. The contrast is very different. Big, and often relying on his own identity to run amok in Yurou Township.

But none of the examinees dared to say anything about it, they only discussed it with their friends in private.

[Host, Li Wenfu is too hateful!He actually slandered you for cheating! 】The system is indignant for Xu Ran in his mind.

Xu Ran turned the pages of the scroll in his hand, and said flatly, "He won't be proud for long."

[But what's the use of you letting me spread the news about his cheating and backstage, no one dares to question him. 】

"I have my own use for this. Have you decided on the topic of the imperial examination?"

【deal. 】

"Li Wenfu must be in a hurry right now, the imperial examination is not such an easy place to prevaricate." Xu Ran sneered contemptuously.

Talented people will not be popular, and those without talent will not be able to write perfect answers. Even if Li Wenfu has a way to know the questions in advance, the questions in the palace test have no answers, and candidates need to perform on the spot.

As soon as Xu Ran finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and he opened the door. It was Zhao Zirong, the examinee who asked him to sign before, and he was also the third in the test. After Li Wenfu canceled his results, he was the second.

Zhao Zirong admired Xu Ran very much, and would come to visit him almost every day, and Xu Ran just talked to him in such a casual manner.

"Brother Wang, I went to the teahouse with some candidates to meet friends through literature today. I wonder if you are free today?"

Xu Ran wanted to refuse at first, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he agreed with Zhao Zirong's words, "I've been studying my homework for the past few days, it's time to go out for a walk."

"Great!" Zhao Zirong clapped his hands excitedly.

The three people in the tea house seemed to be a little familiar, they seemed to be the top ten candidates in the general examination.

After the two sat down, the others recognized Xu Ran one after another. After looking at each other, they said they wanted to compete with Xu Ran, and Xu Ran of course agreed.

Zhao Zirong came up with a question, and there was a little boy beside him to help them serve tea. The question he gave was hidden dangers to people's livelihood.

Before the other three could come up with an answer, Xu Ran had already started to write, and the other three were also the elite among the elite, so they started to write quickly when they were unwilling.

Zhao Zirong kept inspecting the answers of several people, and couldn't move his eyes away after seeing Xu Ran's first sentence, from the initial shock to the final admiration.

Xu Ran was the first to finish writing, and the other three were not bad at all. Not long after he finished writing, they also stopped writing.

One of them joked, "Brother Zhao, don't just look at Brother Wang's."

Zhao Zirong hadn't recovered from the state of shock, so he just said, "You all have a look."

[Canglin knows etiquette from the facts. 】

The beginning of Xu Ran is still the opening point, the whole article is not long, short, small, refined, tough, simple and rough, which shows that Chen Kingdom is now over-respecting martial arts, which leads to the decline of literati and the lack of farmers, and the low production capacity of the old, weak, women and children, which affects the foundation of the country The problem.

The three of them didn't speak for a long time after reading this article. After reading this article, their chests were full, and compared with what they had just answered, the rhetoric that could not be changed was gorgeous, and the focus was superficial. They couldn't help but blush and feel ashamed. .

Xu Ran also said a very perfect solution, and because the door was not closed by Xiaoer, his words also attracted the clapping and applause of the guests outside.

"Brother Wang's work, we are ashamed of ourselves."

After this incident, they also became Xu Ran's loyal supporters, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the palace examination two months later.

The Palace Examination is the last level of the imperial examination, and it is also the most difficult level. The Emperor himself will come up with the questions, and only one question will be tested, which is the policy theory. In the end, eight examiners will review the papers, and select the ten best answer papers and submit them to the emperor for reviewing the rankings. The names of all the answer papers will be sealed to prevent collusion.

In the resplendent Chaotian Palace, elites from all over the world gather here, and everyone is immersed in making papers, including Xu Ran.

There are a total of ten questions in the policy theory, and the examiners and ministers selected one of them after a secret discussion. The exam time is only one stick of incense, and the candidates answer under strict proctoring.

The topic of this policy discussion is "The Way of a Strong Army".

Xu Ran's mind was running fast, and he waved the golden hair in his hand, and an eloquent thesis that shocked the world began to take shape.

In addition to Xu Ran writing without thinking, there is another person who surprised everyone, and that person is Li Wenfu.

Li Wenfu also answered quickly, almost on par with Xu Ran, which surprised and puzzled some people who thought that Li Wenfu relied on his aunt for his position.

With everyone's doubts and puzzles, the time for a stick of incense came soon. The elites gathered in the examination room, but the examiners did not relax because of this.

After all the candidates leave, the examiner collects all the test papers, seals them and sends them to the eight marking ministers.

Eight ministers sat around the table, and each test paper was graded by eight people in turn. Finally, ten outstanding test papers were selected and sent to the emperor for ranking.

Here they are most optimistic about two articles.

An article talks about the disadvantages of social agricultural production and Chongwu from the side, and then explains that a strong army needs grain production.

There is also an article full of irony. The opening question shows that the current state of Chen does not need to strengthen the army, but needs to stabilize the spirit of the army. The construction of the country's cultural system is urgent. The questioner pays attention to returning the fallen leaves to the roots. So where are the roots of the people of the state of Chen now?

In fact, they shouldn't have selected such an article criticizing the heavy military policy, but this article is so well written, citing the classics, the language is crisp and neat, pointing out the current disadvantages, telling the facts and presenting the evidence, it is comfortable to curse, and it is convincing. An uncrowned work that is enough to amaze the world.

The eight of them couldn't bear to kick this article out of the ten people, so in the end they had no choice but to put this somewhat "outrageous" article at the bottom and submit it to the emperor.

The next day, the top ten candidates entered the Xuanzheng Palace built entirely of golden nanmu in turn. This is the place where the emperor discusses politics every day, and it is also the place where their official careers are determined.

"Following the heavens, the emperor's decree said——In the year of Tian Chengnian, Li Wenfu, a talented scholar from Shu, ranked first in high school in the Enke Palace Examination..."

"...Wang Yuanzhi, a talented scholar from Sichuan, is the second place..."

"... Zhao Zirong, a talented scholar from Yuedi, is looking for flowers..."

Following the reading of the imperial decree, the candidates looked different. Li Wenfu was so excited that he was short of breath and almost fainted on the spot. When he heard that Xu Ran was ranked second, Zhao Zirong was so shocked that he was even unhappy that he won the third prize.

After reading the imperial decree, there is another procedure, which is to read the article of the champion, and let all candidates realize the fairness, justice and openness of it.

"The storehouse knows the etiquette..." The chief executive began to read Li Wenfu's article in public, and Li Wenfu raised his head proudly against the envious eyes of the candidates.

A trace of sarcasm and playfulness flashed across Xu Ran's eyes, who lowered his head.

But the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly frowned suspiciously.

After listening to Li Wenfu's article, civil servants began to praise the article's beauty, and Li Wenfu's praise was almost lost.

But at this moment, Zhao Zirong suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Cao Min has something to say."

The manager was about to be reprimanded, but was stopped by Emperor Chen, motioning for him to speak.

Zhao Zirong said loudly, "This article was not written by Li Wenfu, the real author of this article is someone else!"

It was the first time for Tanhua to expose the number one scholar's cheating in front of the emperor, and the court immediately exploded with a bang.

The emperor asked, "Are you questioning the fairness of the imperial examination?"

"The grassroots dare not! But this article is indeed not written by Li Wenfu. As early as a month ago, the grassroots have read this masterpiece."

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Wenfu yelled in panic, "You're talking nonsense! You're just jealous that I won the number one prize! You're slandering me!"

Zhao Zirong remained unmoved.

Then, the three second-class candidates who had hesitated for a long time also knelt down.

"The grassroots can testify."

Out of the ten people, four people testified against the number one scholar for cheating, this is simply unprecedented!
