Chapter 62 The Prince Consort Disguised as a Man in a Revenge Story (7)
Your Majesty was in a good mood today.
This imperial examination selected talents, and there were several people with outstanding literary talents. He was just waiting to test whether these people were available at the entrance banquet.
But Zhao Baisheng's arrival directly shattered all his interest.
"Tell the topic?"
The original smile on the Holy Master's face disappeared completely, and the atmosphere in the entire Zichen Hall suddenly froze.
"Yes, to report back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen received a report from someone saying that the title of the admission banquet has been leaked, and it has already spread in the capital city. Wei Chen did not dare to slack off, and personally led the people to seize the leaked title based on the clues. At the same time, I also found a leaked test question in Chunshan. I don’t know whether this question is true or not, so I asked His Majesty’s Holy Eyes to personally judge it.”
As he spoke, he took out the carefully wrapped letterhead from his arms and raised it respectfully above his head.
The chamberlain quickly and carefully took it and presented it to the Holy One on his knees.
I read the contents on the letterhead with a blank expression.
The saint didn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until everyone's foreheads broke out in cold sweat that the Holy Spirit spoke.
"Where is the person who leaked the questions? Bring them in. Also, who has got the leaked questions? Bring them all to me!"
The Holy Master felt that his joy today had now become a slap in the face.
Among the new Jinshi, someone actually committed fraud.
Although it has not yet been implemented, it is a grave sin to have such an intention!
The Holy Emperor's anger turned into surprise when he saw Sui Xian walking into the palace.
"It's you?!"
Although I don't like the child born to this eldest sister, I think he has the blood of sinners.
But in the end, the Holy One still didn't want to see him at this time.
If you are involved in fraud, you will be skinned even if you die, not to mention that according to Zhao Baisheng, this matter has already been reported in the capital city.
He must have an explanation to his subjects.
Otherwise, there will be no results from cheating in the imperial examinations, which will definitely chill the hearts of students all over the world.
Sui Xianzhi knelt on the ground, having already thought of his words on the way here.
He couldn't blame Shi Ran.
It wasn't that he was deeply in love with Shi Ran and wanted to protect his sweetheart.
In fact, even if he bites out Shi Ran at this moment, it will be useless.
Shi Ran was not at the scene. Even if he blamed everything on her, there was no physical evidence and no witnesses. It was just his own words, which could not be trusted by His Majesty.
What’s more, the Canaanites were not vegetarians either.
If you do this, you will be tantamount to offending the Canaan family.
Shi Ran had just won the top prize in high school, and he was Bo Canaan's favorite.
This is also the key to the gradual transformation of the Canaan Prefecture from Wu to Wen.
If he got involved with Shi Ran, he would end the future of Canaan House.
The Canaanites were not allowed to bite off a piece of their flesh.
And if he said that he didn't know who put the letter there, Sui Xianzhi felt that his majesty would only believe it if he was crazy.
Therefore, Sui Xianzhi knew that he could only accept this situation.
However, there are also particularities in how to identify them.
"Your Majesty, the ordinary people were confused for a moment, because they were envious that the new scholars could show off their talents in front of Your Majesty at the entrance banquet, so when they learned that someone claimed to have the so-called entrance banquet examination questions, out of curiosity, they bought After getting a copy, I should have read the question, and I would be able to see the elegant scribes gathered together. The common people are confused, but they did not expect that this test question is actually true, and the common people only read it privately. I have no intention of cheating, please punish me!"
Sui Xianzhi kowtowed heavily, shouting the word "caomin" very clearly.
You know, when he was still young, he followed the eldest princess into the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
He doesn't have any title, so he should call himself a commoner.
But Sui Xianzhi insisted on calling himself Xianzhi one by one.
It not only seemed close to him, but also avoided his embarrassing identity.
But at this moment, he wanted to emphasize this identity.
Because he is a white man, he has never participated in the imperial examination, and he has no Jinshi status.
Everything that happened at the entrance banquet had nothing to do with him.
Although he was guilty of getting this title, he could not be compared with those people with Jinshi status who bought and sold the title.
This was all he could do.
I also hope that Chen Xiang can be more reliable and bring in reinforcements for him as soon as possible.
And in the mansion of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess Jing'an, who was leaning against the railing of the pavilion in the middle of the lake and feeding the fish, was frowning slightly and looking at the book boy Chen Xiang who hurriedly knelt down on the ground.
"What happened?"
The eldest princess has always had a cold temperament. Even looking at Chen Xiang's expression and posture at this moment, it is not difficult to guess that something must have happened to Sui Xianzhi.
But her expression never fluctuated much.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, please save the young master. The young master was taken away by Master Yin Zhao of Shangjing City, saying that he was involved in imperial examination fraud."
Chen Xiang quickly told the eldest princess what had just happened, and then said anxiously, "Master Zhao took the person directly from Chunshan and said that he wanted to bring it into the palace to see His Majesty. Your Highness, the eldest princess, please save me." Save the young master."
The eldest princess of Jing'an was silent for a moment, then threw all the fish food in her hands into the pond, attracting all the koi carps to gather here.
"So, he did it?"
The eldest princess's eyes fell on Chen Xiang, and her sharp eyes made Chen Xiang lower her head lower.
"It seems that it was done."
With a long sigh, the eldest princess slowly stood up.
"Prepare the car and enter the palace."
No matter what, it is his own child after all.
That day, the eldest princess Jing'an stayed in the palace until the key was handed down before leaving.
On the carriage, Sui Xianzhi sat in a corner with his head lowered, his expression gloomy.
Mother, indeed, came out to save herself.
But as a price, I will not be able to participate in the imperial examination in my life.
This doesn't sound like much, after all, Sui Xianzhi never planned to pass the imperial examination and enter the officialdom honestly.
But going to the capital is so big, and if this news spreads, it will basically cut off half of his career.
This shows that he has already gained a bad reputation in front of the Holy Emperor.
Even if she has the eldest princess as her biological mother, her future will be bleak.
Even when it comes to marriage discussions, how many wealthy families are willing to marry their daughters to a white man?
Looking at her dejected son, Princess Jing'an finally sighed.
"Your Majesty is willing to let you go today. He has not officially convicted you of fraud. He has already thought of family ties. If you are more peaceful these days, I will also start to look at your marriage. When we get married, Later, I will ask Your Majesty to find a vacancy for a third-class bodyguard for you in front of the emperor."
His desire to become an official was almost crazy.
Although the eldest princess of Jing'an did not want him to become an official, she also knew that if she completely blocked his path to becoming an official, she was afraid that her son would never recover from the fall, and he would have thoughts of committing suicide again.
But if he was given a position in the previous dynasty, with his temperament, he would probably follow his father's path.
It's better to be a bodyguard and keep an eye on the Holy Emperor to prevent him from causing trouble.
Third class guard?
Sui Xianzhi's face was excited, but the hands hidden under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched, and the nails left half-moon-shaped pinch marks on the palms.
A third-class bodyguard could be a bastard from a run-down marquis' family. Why on earth would his mother treat her like this? !
it is good!
If everyone looks down on themselves, then they must climb up step by step and climb to a position below one person and above ten thousand people.
Just like his father did back then.
Prime Minister Sui, what a tempting title.
At this moment, Princess Jing'an never expected that her temporary compromise would lead to a big mistake.
