Wang Chen's speech was quite wonderful, and its appeal attracted many supporters.
Wang Chen stood in the middle, enjoying the admiration for him from all around.
Su Qi'an, on the other hand, seemed to have nothing to say, and seemed to have acquiesced that he was the one who leaked the questions in the palace examination.
Zheng Guogong on the side said softly, "Uncle Dongshan, I will report it to His Majesty on your own as to whether you are a leaker. After all, you are a descendant of the royal family. I will save your face for some things, so please..."
"Zheng Guolao, are you a little too anxious? I haven't finished asking some questions yet."
"Oh, this makes me a little impatient, Dongshan Bo continues." Zheng Guogong had a smile on his face.
He was not afraid of Su Qi'an's subsequent questions. In his opinion, today's matter was already settled. No matter how much Su Qi'an argued, it could still be reversed.
If it's really that easy, wouldn't it be an underestimation of their methods?
Su Qi'an looked at Wang Chen below and said leisurely, "Wang Chen, you really care about fairness. If you didn't know this, I would really think that you are a wealthy young man who eliminates violence, is not afraid of power, and upholds justice for others."
"Students are human beings, and the people around them know this very well. There is no need for students to say anything about this." Wang Chen was very calm and looked at Su Qi'an calmly.
Now the facts have been established that Su Qi'an is just at the end of his strength and pretending to be calm.
If he hadn't been a member of the royal family, he might have been captured immediately.
In any case, Su Qian's good luck has come to an end.
Just when Wang Chen was thinking that a great future was waiting for him, Su Qi'an's voice sounded again.
"Okay, since you insist on coming forward, today I'll show you the price of standing up."
This time, Su Qi'an's voice was no longer the easy-going one before, but rather more majestic.
"It stands to reason that the questions in this palace examination, even if they are separated into three sessions, are still the same. That's right."
Wang Chen nodded calmly.
"In this case, I won't waste much time anyway. I'll show you the answer sheets of the three Xizhou candidates. There's nothing wrong with that."
Although everyone was puzzled by Su Qi'an's suggestion, they did not stop it. After all, the test papers were distributed uniformly, how could it be possible to cheat.
After a while, the imperial army found the papers of three Xizhou candidates in a pile of test papers that were about to be sealed.
"Please ask this Imperial Guard to show their papers to the candidates present," Su Qian said.
Su Qi'an's behavior made people even more confused. What was this for? There must be a final struggle.
The Imperial Guard stepped forward, holding the test paper in his hand, and walked in front of many candidates.
At first, some candidates looked a little puzzled, but when they saw the words on the test paper, their pupils shrank, their faces changed slightly, and some even rubbed their eyes for fear that they had read it wrong.
The changes on the faces of these candidates naturally fell into Wang Chen's eyes. Vaguely, Wang Chen suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
As the test paper continued to pass the candidates present, finally, at the end, the test paper stopped in front of Wang Chen's eyes.
Now, even if it was Wang Chen, his face finally lost its calmness. He was silent for a long time, and then he spoke in surprise.
"You...you actually changed the test papers."
It's no wonder that Wang Chen was so surprised. After all, the papers for the palace examination were reviewed personally by Sangong and Wenxuan. Once the papers were confirmed, no one had the right to change them.
Not only does this involve the issue of responsibility, but more importantly, if the test questions are changed at will, does the person who asked the questions think that his questions are better than those of San Gong and literary leaders?
Changing papers, this has never happened in previous palace examinations.
But in this palace examination, Su Qi'an actually changed the test papers. This move was quite bold.
Regarding Wang Chen's surprise, Su Qian just smiled and said, "Yes, I had already changed the exam papers for the three of them before the palace exam."
"Then the question now comes. You said I leaked the test questions to them in advance, so why do I have to change the test papers for them? This is not a lot.
This move? "
"Moreover, if you read it correctly, the answers transcribed on the new paper this time are exactly the same as the content of the questions I leaked. Why, are they blind? They didn't even read the test questions." Kanshu La
Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but the majesty in his words was getting deeper and deeper. That kind of questioning suddenly made most of the candidates speechless.
"This...this, Examiner Su, are you not afraid of His Majesty's blame if you change the paper in advance? The majesty of the imperial examination is so casually destroyed by you." Wang Chen stuttered a little, but he quickly thought of something and responded to Su Qi'an.
In response to Wang Chen's accusation, Su Qian just smiled, then stood up, looked at everyone present, and then said loudly.
"You have also seen the test questions that I have given. If anyone feels that the difficulty of my paper is easier than yours, feel free to raise it. I will accept it!"
Su Qi'an's words were quite confident, not at all afraid, but full of arrogance.
But among the many candidates present, no one dared to refute it, because they knew that the difficulty of Su Qi'an's question change was not only no easier than what they had done, but even more difficult.
The content of their test is to give answers to a certain aspect of government affairs in a state or county.
What Su Qi'an came up with was to provide solutions to all government affairs in the entire state.
It's like the former is a special talent who is proficient in one thing, while the latter is proficient in everything and is comparable to omnipotence.
The two are completely incomparable. Even if some of them complained about Su Qi'an, they could not question the difficulty of Su Qi'an's questions.
Seeing the silence of everyone present, Wang Chen's eyes flashed and he was still making the final struggle as he explained.
"Well... maybe I am too impatient and trust these three people too much. This matter should have nothing to do with Examiner Su. The student has realized his mistake."
"Really? Just now you were very confident. Are you impatient? Admit your mistake. It's easy to fool me when you really think I'm the official."
"Since you want to uphold justice, I will clarify the unspoken rules of this palace examination for you."
"Come here, take out Wang Chen's test paper for me so that everyone can take a good look at it."
Not long after Su Qi'an gave the order, the Forbidden Army found Wang Chen's test paper among the many test papers.
It was still the same as before, and it was shown to countless candidates. When their eyes glanced at it, their faces became quite ugly.
At this time, Su Qi'an's voice continued to sound, "If I guess correctly, at least 80% of the content in Wang Chen's test paper is exactly the same as the so-called leaked questions I provided, right?"
"That's right, Examiner Su, what's going on?" At this time, some poor scholars led by Huang Wenyan asked with angry expressions.
"Yes, I obviously leaked the questions to three Xizhou candidates, but the content of the leaked questions ended up on Wang Chen's exam paper. What's going on?"
Su Qi'an made a questioning tone, and then said coldly, "The truth of the matter is that Wang Chen has already leaked the content of this palace examination. I don't know what benefits he promised to the three Xizhou candidates, so that they maliciously framed me. .”
"But he was able to openly copy the content of the leaked questions on the examination paper. According to the content you copied, it is easy to get the top three Jinshi."
"It's a pity, Wang Chen, you failed to calculate that I would have taken the risk and changed the test papers of three candidates in Xizhou, and because of the isolation screen, they thought that the papers they took were different from yours. Same, so I accept your instructions without any worries and frame me."
"By unseating me, you will not only achieve your good reputation, but also become one of the top three Jinshi. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, your future future, I am very envious of you."
"I am a little confused. There is no big grudge between you and me. Why are you treating me like this?"
Su Qi'an briefly explained the cause and effect. At this moment, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The sensation caused by Wang Chen's so-called justice just now was much greater.
For a time, countless sarcastic and abusive voices sounded.
But he was quickly stopped by Zheng Guogong
, the Wenxian Hall became slightly quiet.
But even at this time, Wang Chen naturally had no intention of begging for mercy. His face was ugly, and he suddenly looked at Su Qi'an fiercely and said angrily.
"Hmph, you are indeed a great talent. I really underestimated you. You are right. All of this was my plan."
"It is true that there is no big grudge between you and me, not even a small conflict, but what makes you the most talented person in Kyoto, and what makes you the direct descendant of my wife."
"On any point, it is impossible not to be jealous. We have gone through many imperial examinations to get to where we are today and obtain the title of Jinshi. But in the end, you, a small candidate, were appreciated by His Majesty. Not only did you restore the royal clan, but also He suddenly became our examiner, I don’t accept it..."
"Come here, keep this lunatic behind bars and judge him strictly!" Wang Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, but was quickly interrupted by Zheng Guogong.
The Imperial Guards stepped forward and wanted to capture Wang Chen and take him down, but Su Qi'an's voice suddenly sounded.
Hey, why is Zheng Guogong so impatient? Just let him continue talking. I think what he said makes some sense. "
"Examiner Su, this is wrong. This person is a lunatic. He attacks you again and again. You are a royal family. The royal family has the majesty of the royal family. Just leave this kind of person to me and continue to listen to his barking. , is an insult to oneself.”
"Haha, Mr. Zheng Guo has his heart in mind, but Su has been away from home all year round and has become accustomed to this kind of barking. It's okay to hear it."
Su Qian'an turned his eyes, looked at the excited Wang Chen, and said.
"What you said makes some sense, but you forgot your identity."
"Identity? What identity." Wang Chen was startled.
"If these words come from the mouth of a poor family member, I don't think it's a big deal. But who are you? A powerful man. Talking about fairness and justice with me here. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Do you deserve it?"
"The reason why you say this is, let me guess, who do you want to take the blame for? If you take all this on your own, you really think you are a hero. If you can do this, it seems that someone has done it for you. Your promise is quite a lot."
