Chapter 246: Dog bites dog in Yonghe Palace
Everyone was even more uproar.
"It's actually true."
"Just now I saw Brother Si swearing so confidently, I almost believed him."
"There is still no smoke without fire. If he hadn't had this intention, how could he have been heard."
"If you want others to know, you have to do nothing but yourself!"
"The second place one got the advantage."
"That's right. It helps everyone get rid of a black sheep. This is the most important thing."
…
The examiner finished his presentation and left.
The emperor signaled, he took the test paper and read it slowly.
Liang Jiugong continued to ask: "Wuge, how do you explain this?"
Wuge said: "This volume is my answer. I can write it silently again to verify it."
Hesheli Falsa: "What a joke! You dared to change the test paper. Of course you knew the test questions in advance and memorized the answers well, so you got the first place. You have memorized them all, so of course you are not afraid of memorizing them a second time." .”
After reading the test paper, the emperor said: "The paper is indeed a good paper. Examiner, what do you think?"
Examiner: "Your Majesty, you must be clear! In today's exam, all the ministers acted in accordance with the regulations and never had any personal interests. It's just that someone reported the matter. I should cooperate and be punished according to the results."
This has the meaning of "it has nothing to do with one's own affairs."
The examiner was certainly not stupid. The prince's attitude and the fourth elder brother's defense showed that the prince was obviously involved in this matter.
This is the first time for Hahazhu to take the exam in the palace, so there is no guarantee that there will be any flaws in the process.
How dare he tell the truth.
The emperor grasped the most critical question: "Five grids, I ask you, Aqiana said that he saw that your paper was dirty. But the paper you turned in in the end was very clean. How to explain this?"
Wuge straightened his back: "When I returned to the emperor, I thought it was Aqi'a who suggested that he saw something dirty in the minister's paper, so he should confirm that this is true."
Lu Pheasant thought to himself that Wuge was not old, but he was a master who was not afraid of trouble.
It's really a lucky baby.
When someone reported him, the emperor happened to be in a good mood.
Moreover, Kangxi had just rejected the prince's proposal for the first time because of the fourth prince. Could it be that the emperor's good mood today had something to do with the little beloved?
"There is some truth to this." Kangxi agreed, "Aqi, tell me, why is there no ink on this test paper?"
Niu Hulu Aqiya was confused: "Your Majesty, this..."
Liang Jiugong asked: "Is there anyone else who can help you testify? Do you remember who is sitting in other seats?"
Niu Hulu Aqi'a couldn't say anything for a moment.
They are all noble sons who have grown up at the foot of the Imperial City. Wherever they meet, they usually know each other by name.
However, he didn't know who among those people would speak for him, so of course he didn't dare to nominate them at will.
The emperor looked at Wuge. He looked like he was not in a hurry to name someone.
He's a good, calm guy.
The examiner then said: "Your Majesty, the positions are according to the table. You can check the records."
Now, the other noble gentlemen who were just watching the show did not dare to wait for the examiner to check.
It seems that they are timid and irresponsible.
Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my ministers were sitting in front of the five squares. They were focused on answering the questions and didn't pay attention."
The examiner moved quickly, turned to the position map, and shouted: "Guo Luoluo Sid, the ranking is thirty-nine."
When Guo Luoluo Xied stepped back, he couldn't help but glare at Niu Hulu Aqiana.
It's all his fault, why are you talking so much?
He has already ranked third in the exam, considering his potential. Why should he, who ranks thirty-ninth, be embarrassed?
It's over. I'm afraid I won't avoid a beating if I go back today.
It turned out that Concubine Yi saw the nephew, daughter-in-law and brother of Concubine De's family biting each other, and she was very excited to watch the play.
Who would have expected that her nephew, who had done so poorly in the exam and was called out in public, immediately glared at Guo Luoluo Sid.
The others were afraid that their names would also be read out, so they stepped forward one after another: "When I returned to the emperor, my ministers were just like Guoluoluo Xied and didn't pay attention."
With five or six seats around, it would be difficult for the examiner to call everyone one by one.
The examiner suddenly laughed and said: "This is a coincidence. Logically speaking, if the inkstone is knocked over and the ink is poured, the noise should be loud. Why, only the young master of the Niu Hulu family saw and heard it?"
Liang Jiugong answered the question quickly: "No, this young master from the Niu Hulu family paid attention to others in the exam room and was able to get third place, which shows his talent."
The emperor listened to the two men singing and harmonizing, and naturally understood what they meant.
This Niu Hulu Aqi'a is probably going to lose his temper.
At this time, a Manchu scholar came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am the deputy examiner today. I can testify that Ulanara Wuge's paper did accidentally get a few drops of ink on it at that time."
"When I went to the clean room, I discussed with someone whether I should let him answer questions on a different paper. I think it was only then that Hesheli Farsa heard me and misunderstood me."
Emperor: "Then why is there no ink on this paper?"
Shuida said: "When I came back from the clean room, I saw Master Wuge changing the ink marks on the scroll into light ink paintings, so I just assumed it was nothing. I don't know if someone would make a fuss about it afterwards."
"Your Majesty, please take a look. There are some thin green bamboos on the upper right side of the scroll. They are the scrolls belonging to Mr. Wuge himself."
"Here you are, Your Majesty." Liang Jiugong looked over his head and saw it, and smiled first, "It seems that the young master of the Niu Hulu family is not the only one who is talented. The Wuge master is not only answering questions, but also thinking about painting. Today's test will prove that I am going to the Eight Banners My children are full of talents.”
"You are the only one with a poor mouth."
Lu Pheasant thought to himself that the emperor was in a really good mood today. How had he ever seen Liang Jiugong dare to joke with Long Live Lord like this before?
The examiner was very alert and pulled out the papers of Niu Hulu Aqiya and Hesheli Farsa on the spot.
It was handed to the emperor's desk.
The emperor said: "In this case, the three of you will write the contents of the paper again."
The eunuchs immediately brought tables and chairs.
The three young masters behaved differently.
The five frames are very calm, sit down and write smoothly.
As for the eleventh-place Hesheli Farsa, the words he wrote were twisted and sweat was pouring from his forehead.
Compared with him, Niu Hulu Aqiana, who was in third place, was relatively calm, but his left hand couldn't stop shaking.
Things are clear.
"Stop." The emperor only asked them to write halfway.
The examiner stepped forward to collect the papers and returned them to the emperor.
The five-frame handwriting is still neat, the writing is smooth, and every word is correct.
The other two's handwriting was confusing and their answers were completely different from what they said in the previous papers.
Kangxi took a look and said: "Aqi'a, Farsa, look at the papers you wrote, do you still want to report Wu Ge?"
Niu Hulu Aqiana knelt down and saluted: "When I return to the emperor, I did not understand the matter clearly and rashly reported it, which attracted Ulanara Wuge's criticism. I am guilty!"
The emperor said without anger: "Is there only criticism? Then how do you explain that you can't write the original answer? Farsa, tell me! Who leaked the answer to you?"
