"Li Wan/Wang Si/Liu Xun pay homage to Your Majesty!" The three of them knelt down and saluted.
"rise!"
Hearing the sound of the three people coming in, Chen Jue raised his head and saw the people coming, "What kind of wind blew the three of them into the palace?"
"Forehead--"
Li Wan, Wang Si, and Liu Xun looked at each other, thinking about this and not knowing what to say.
After all, His Majesty said before that the first imperial examination must be handled fairly and justly.
Now it turns out that the first twenty or so people are all children of aristocratic families, which makes people suspect that someone is cheating.
As for the people who were suspicious, the three of them and the invigilator of Chong Academy were the first to bear the brunt.
Liu Xun winked at the Prime Minister, and his meaning was very clear, as if he was saying: Prime Minister, it’s up to you!
Li Wan: "..."
This right prime minister is so difficult to do!
Li Wan touched the neck that was still there and sighed slightly, hoping to see the sun again tomorrow morning.
Then he held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, students from poor families gathered in the Ministry of Rites and refused to leave. They claimed that someone cheated in the first exam and asked for fairness."
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Chen Jue suddenly sat up, put down the book in his hand in shock, and looked at Li Wan.
Suddenly, he said again: "I remember that this imperial examination must be fair and impartial, and no cheating for personal gain is allowed. Who is so brave!"
There was a bit of sullenness in his tone, but also a bit of disbelief.
In order for the first imperial examination to be successfully completed, Chen Jue thought a lot and did a lot, from the safety of students to the fairness and impartiality of the examination.
First, let the children of the aristocratic family also participate, and use the provocation method to provoke the children of the aristocratic family to want to defeat the poor students.
Once again, each aristocratic family was asked to send private soldiers to protect the students who came to take the exam.
Finally, for the sake of fairness and impartiality, each student's name and place of origin were sealed in the student test papers using a special method.
Once there are traces of opening, they will be found.
Unexpectedly, despite all precautions, something happened!
"This -" Li Wan couldn't explain clearly and simply handed over the imperial ranking results issued by the Ministry of Rites to Liu Zhong.
Chen Jue frowned slightly as he looked at Li Wan who was hesitant to speak.
Suddenly startled, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took the imperial list handed over by Liu Zhong.
It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at it, he suddenly became furious. He held the hand holding the imperial list tightly, and even the veins on his hand popped out.
Looking at these names on the imperial list, Chen Jue's hands shook with anger.
No wonder!
No wonder Li Wan looked like he didn't dare to say anything!
"Is Wen Zhao, the son of Marquis Wen, talented?" Chen Jue took a deep breath, calmed down quickly, and asked quickly.
"This, Prince Wen——"
Li Wan thought for a moment and then spoke cautiously, "According to the Master of Chong Academy, Prince Wen skips school and drinks wine, molests women of private families, and is also good at gambling and fighting. I don't know whether the Prince is talented."
Hoho, after hearing this, Chen Jue finally understood.
This Wen Zhao is a playboy. As for whether he is talented or not, no one knows or is sure.
OK!
Chen Jue took a deep breath again, endured it, and continued to look down, "What about Xue Changyi?"
Xue Changyi, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Ding'an, must not be an idiot too!
"This -" Li Wan wiped her sweat and thought that Xue Changyi, the eldest son of Ding'an Marquis, was even more outrageous!
He spends the whole day sleeping in the flower house, dreaming of life and death. He has a bad temper and will beat someone to death at every turn.
However, Xue Changyi had the support of Marquis Ding'an, so even if he killed someone, no one would dare to say anything.
"Xue Changyi——"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything!" Seeing Li Wan hesitate to speak, Chen Jue knew what was going on.
I'm afraid it's just a bag of straw and has no ink in its belly!
Chen Jue had a stern look on his face and directly interrupted what Li Wan was about to say, "Jin Wu Wei Wei is sent to the throne to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"As for you three," Chen Jue glanced at the two people below with cold eyes and said, "Go back and wait!"
The second day
"Let's all get flat!"
At the great court meeting, Chen Jue picked up the imperial list and threw it heavily in front of the ministers with a "pop" sound.
Chen Jue stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, glanced down, and said in a calm and slow tone: "More than half of the people on this list are from aristocratic families, and only five or six are from poor families. Please tell me why. The same thing?"
