Stealing scientific examination questions may not be a big deal in the eyes of some ordinary people who have nothing to do with them.
It’s just a test question, just take it again and that’s it!
A simple punishment, that's fine!
But in the eyes of those scholars who had been preparing for a long time and stayed in the small house for three days, it was no small matter!
Leaking the test questions will make all their previous efforts and efforts in vain, and they may not have the same mentality when taking the exam again!
Besides, they were discovered. Wouldn't it be unfair to them if they were not discovered?
This year, the prince stole the test questions and got over it with a small fuss!
If that minister steals test questions again next year and is demoted and fined, then what's the point of the imperial examination?
Those poor students will no longer be motivated to participate!
Moreover, the purpose of stealing the test questions this time was not to make money, but to win over and cultivate power to deal with other princes.
Ying Zheng thought about it and made a decision.
"The young master Ying Fan and his wife Ding were demoted to common people and moved out of Xianyang!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.
Ying Fan fell to the ground, his face turned ashen and without any energy!
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to Fan'er. This was all my idea and Fan'er didn't know about it at all!"
Mrs. Ding burst into tears and wanted to run to Ying Zheng to intercede, but was stopped by Jing Fu.
"Take it away!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and looked very unhappy.
One is the woman he has slept with for many years.
The other one is his biological son.
It's no wonder that his heart doesn't hurt after making such a decision!
But there is no way, if you do such a thing, you must not stay in the palace anymore!
After all, no serious consequences occurred. Even if they were driven out of Xianyang, Ying Zheng would find a safe place and buy them a house so that they could live in peace!
"Ying Feiyu, you will be punished...!"
Before being taken away, Ying Fan seemed to suddenly react and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Young Master...Young Master? Don't leave. What will we do if you leave?"
When the three young masters in the imperial study saw this, they became even more flustered, their faces filled with fear.
They have also heard of Ying Zheng's methods.
Now I can see it with my own eyes!
Even their own sons are not spared. Can their lives be saved?
"Drag him down and chop him!"
Sure enough, the next second, Ying Zheng's cold voice came from the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, we are wronged. We were deceived by Young Master Fan!"
"Your Majesty, please give us another chance. We will work hard and serve the imperial court!"
"His Majesty……!"
A group of guards entered the door and dragged several people out.
Several people waved their hands without giving up, hoping that a miracle would happen!
However, what happened was counterproductive. No matter how loud their voices were, Ying Zheng would never give them another chance!
"Hmph! If they are really allowed to enter the imperial court, they will probably cause a mess!"
Wang Li snorted twice and said disdainfully.
"Okay, let's all disperse!"
Ying Zheng seemed a little tired, rubbing his head and waving his hands to everyone.
…
The prince was deposed, which was undoubtedly the most explosive news. It occupied the front page of the newspaper the next day.
"Hmph! I didn't expect that the prince would steal the test questions!"
"Yes, fortunately the examiner found out early and changed the test questions in time. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to us candidates!"
"No, I know Zhao Hongsheng. He used to be a relative of Zhao Cheng. He showed off his power everywhere and never gave money for shopping. He was just a local ruffian. It was only after Zhao Cheng fell that he restrained himself a little. Thinking that I have taken the same path as Gongzi Fan, if he can pass the imperial examination, I will never want to take part in the imperial examination again in my life!"
"Well, Xu Xingfa is about the same. He used to be a big family in Sishui County. When he saw that the Lu family had a relationship with the young master, and the business was doing better than theirs, he became jealous and wanted to enter the court and frame him with the young master Fan. Young Master, fortunately, the Young Master is more skilled and saw through their plan!"
"It can be seen from this that people should not do bad things. Otherwise, if they are careful, they will be discovered one day. Will they suffer the consequences then?"
"Yes, let's test our reputation based on our ability. We must act upright and sit upright!"
…
After seeing the contents in the newspaper, the common people and scholars from various places started talking about it.
Disdainful of the practices of Ying Fan, Zhao Hongsheng and others!
That is to say, a few people are not in front of them now. If they were, they would probably go up and beat them up.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host, for discovering cheating in the imperial examination, for seeking justice for students all over the world, and for being rewarded with a route map! 】
[Comes with a compass! 】
[Already stored in the system warehouse! 】
After exiting the imperial study room, the familiar mechanical sound of the system immediately sounded in Xiao Zhengtai's mind, making his eyes light up.
It was as if I just yawned and the system boss sent me a pillow!
The steamship had just been developed, and the system rewarded him with a route map!
This thing is very necessary for sailing on the sea!
In this day and age, there are no beacons to guide the way.
If you want to identify the direction, you can only rely on the experience of sailors!
Therefore, in addition to being in awe of the sea, people are more afraid of it!
Every year, many fishermen lose their lives due to wind and waves at sea and their inability to tell the direction.
As time goes by, no one wants to go to sea, and even if they go to sea, they will not go very far!
Because of this, Xu Fu was able to successfully deceive Ying Zheng, saying that there were fairy islands overseas and some elixir of life!
Ying Zheng was convinced, so he built a huge building ship and sent him to find it!
Since no one had ever traveled across the ocean before him, there was no way to verify whether his words were true or false.
At that time, Ying Zheng was so obsessed that he had to try even if there was only a glimmer of hope for immortality!
Only then did Xu Fu take advantage of the opportunity and take three thousand boys and girls with him to go to sea together, and they were never heard from again!
Now with the route map and compass, Ying Feiyu can take the ship out to sea, capture Xu Fu, and let Ying Zheng ravage him, which can relieve his hatred!
After the steamship test was successful, Xin Sheng led the navy to conduct simulation training on the Weishui River every day.
Strive to train a group of elites in the shortest possible time!
Feng went to the Ministry of Industry to help Ying Feiyu build a larger shipyard.
Steam ships can travel thousands of miles a day and can carry people and goods. There will definitely be great demand from the court and the people in the future, and there must be a bigger shipyard!
Huang Yuan led the craftsmen to work overtime to produce steamships and trains, striving to improve the way people travel as soon as possible!
The Ministry of Rites was busy carefully checking the answers of those scholars to select available talents for the imperial court!
Ying Feiyu had a lot of leisure time. He made time to visit various industries and inquire about the sales volume of each store!
