Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!
Chapter 809 Good luckThe palace examination began, and Emperor Qianwu appeared in the hall with a group of old ministers.
Many candidates also entered the examination room and sat in their seats. After the eunuch read out the imperial edict, the chief examiner read out the rules of the examination room and then began to distribute pens, ink, paper and inkstone for answering the questions.
Only after sitting here did Shen Jing'an feel completely relieved.
No one would be bold enough to kill him in front of Your Majesty, right?
Even though he was thinking this, Shen Jingan couldn't help but look around quietly.
Shen Jingchuan was also there as an old minister. It was a rare opportunity for him to have such a promising son, so naturally he had to come and see him in person.
It’s just that the court officials were a little far away, and chairs were arranged for the palace people.
After all, the time for answering the questions is long, and we must ensure the health of these court officials while avoiding delaying the candidates' answers.
In addition to court officials, many princes were also present. After all, this matter concerned a new batch of court officials, and everyone had different thoughts, but they still had to pay attention.
Xiao Yuncheng's gaze fell on Shen Jingan, his eyes deep.
He is really lucky, he can't die even after this!
It's a pity that he was such a fool that he let the truth get out and implicated him. Now, he has no chance to take action.
Xiao Yuncheng was upset and just thought that it was a good thing that he sent people to destroy Jinglou's account books and some remaining treasures overnight.
I guess even if my father really investigates it, he may not find out anything.
After all, what he did was different from Xiao Heyu's blatant embezzlement of government silver and disaster relief funds.
He just gave a small convenience to those who were rich and wanted to be officials, but he never harmed anyone's interests.
Xiao Yuncheng kept comforting himself and didn't even dare to look in the direction of Emperor Qianwu.
But even if he was deceiving himself, Xiao Yuncheng still couldn't remain calm.
After all, this matter shook the foundation of the country, and he did not have a powerful family like the Lu family. Once his father got angry, I am afraid that his position would be unstable...
It’s a pity that this happened too suddenly and there was no other chance.
It’s all because of that idiot Shen Jingan!
It would have been fine if I had prepared the answer in advance, but I had to bring it up in front of my father.
Before this palace examination, he had sent people to deliver a message to those who had joined his team, asking them to add their own ideas to the answers they prepared, not to pursue perfection, but to strive for authenticity, and not to let anyone discover any clues.
However, Shen Jingan is still a problem after all...
*
Before Xiao Yuncheng could think of a better solution, the examiner had already started distributing answer sheets. As the gong sounded, the first question was soon posted on the board in front.
Shen Jing'an looked up and felt relieved. This was the question he had prepared, and he had polished and revised Shen Shuhan's answer, so he was sure to win first place.
Thinking of this, he calmed down, put the previous assassination attempt behind him, and picked up the pen to answer.
Not long after, Emperor Qianwu walked down from the upper seat and paced back and forth among the students, occasionally standing behind someone and looking at the test papers.
The group was very excited, especially after years of hard study, they finally had the chance to see the Holy Emperor.
Fortunately, those who can get to this step usually have good psychological quality. They are only flustered for a moment before they calm down and continue answering.
Emperor Qianwu just watched and did not comment.
Soon, he stopped behind Shen Jingan. For a moment, Shen Jingan held his breath, straightened his back, and tried to make the handwriting more neat and beautiful.
However, he already knew the answer by heart, so Shen Jing'an wrote it down in one go.
Shen Jing'an thought secretly that this time he would definitely be praised by His Majesty, or perhaps stand out among the students and make a good impression.
Emperor Qianwu stood behind him and saw that the answer he wrote was almost identical to the essay written by Shen Shuhan that Taifu Wang presented to him this morning. His eyes were deep and his mood could be said to be extremely bad.
Looking back on the imperial examinations in recent years, Emperor Qianwu thought carefully and felt that there were indeed many people who had achieved very good rankings in the imperial examinations and had written very well, but when they entered the court, they seemed mediocre.
He thought that there were always people who were good at talking but not doing anything on paper in every dynasty, but he never thought that there were actually people who were just filling in the numbers.
Emperor Qianwu became furious when he thought that there were so many people in the court who did not live up to their reputation.
It's ridiculous that he always claimed to be a wise ruler, but so many troubles happened right under his nose.
Shen Jing'an naturally didn't know about the changes in the emperor's mind, but he was secretly expecting and longing to make a big splash.
Just then, the question on the board in front was changed. After Shen Jingan looked at it carefully, his eyes brightened up again.
God really helped me, he had prepared for the second question.
It seems that as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes in today's palace examination, he will be able to get a pretty good result.
Shen Jing'an pretended to think for a moment before starting to write again.
Emperor Qianwu stood behind him for a while, and seeing his pretentious appearance, he became even angrier.
Emperor Qianwu withdrew his gaze and looked at the test papers of several other students nearby.
It would have been fine if I hadn't read it, but once I did, I found that some of the answers were too perfect, so perfect that they seemed unreal. Although there were still some flaws, if I looked closely, I could also say that many things could not have been thought up in such a short period of time.
After seeing this, Emperor Qianwu lost all interest.
Not to mention the autumn examination, just the preliminary examination held by the court this time consumed a huge amount of manpower, financial resources and material resources, but in the end, only mediocre talents were selected, and it also became an opportunity for many people to enrich themselves.
Emperor Qianwu immediately returned to the upper seat and sat down, waiting for the students below to answer their papers with a rage in his heart.
Time passed minute by minute, until it was almost noon, many students had already put down their writing, and so was Shen Jingan.
He just felt that there was a very good saying: after bad times come good times.
He didn't know if it was because he had a bad morning out, but when he got to the palace examination, he felt as if he was assisted by God. He had prepared for several policy questions and was well prepared.
Shen Jingan is confident that he will be able to get into the top three this time.
After the test papers were collected, Emperor Qianwu and several old ministers marked them on the spot. Because there were not many people, the papers were marked very quickly.
Shen Jing'an and other candidates were taken to a side hall to wait, and the palace servants prepared tea and snacks again.
Compared to before, everyone was much more relaxed this time. Familiar students gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the test questions.
Shen Jing'an also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was cautious and did not have any more tea or snacks.
"Brother Shen, how did you do in the exam? I was standing slightly behind you and saw that you were full of ideas and wrote very quickly. I think you have a good chance of winning."
Someone tried to talk to Shen Jingan, and Shen Jingan smiled and modestly declined, but he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.
His ranking this time is indeed worth looking forward to. Shen Jingan is confident that he may really get the top spot.
After all, Shen Shuhan was a man of extraordinary talent back then, and what he wrote was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Now that I have made further progress in what he has written, I believe that Your Majesty will greatly appreciate it.
Just as he was thinking about it, a eunuch came forward and said, "His Majesty summons you all, please come to the main hall to listen to his orders."
