"A stunning article? Is Lord Feng kidding?"

Song Ming didn't want to talk, but he couldn't help it. Before coming to Ji County, he had been paying attention to this brother whom he had never met, and knew that he was a useless man who was neither good at literature nor martial arts.

He failed the exam for three consecutive years, but this year he was able to write an amazing article.

How is this possible.

Just after the exam questions were announced, they also learned about the exam questions. The questions about cutting and connecting were extremely difficult. After reading them, he didn't know where to start. Song Chi probably couldn't even understand the questions.

"Please review the examination paper, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Feng Yuan handed it over with both hands.

Song Shiwen took it suspiciously and looked at it in front of his eyes. After a moment, he showed a look of surprise. He was so engrossed in looking at it that his expression unconsciously turned to joy.

The writing is natural, fluent and full of ups and downs, with lofty intentions, concise words and profound logic, a vigorous style and full of spirit.

Song Shiwen was able to become the prime minister of the dynasty because of his excellent writing skills. Of course, it can be judged that what Feng Yuan said is true. This is indeed an amazing article!

But... he raised his head and his eyes fell on Song Chi.

"Did he really write this?"

Song Shiwen didn't believe it!

This son is useless in both civil and military affairs. This is not a malicious judgment on his part, but the fact. The news has already spread throughout Ji County and everyone knows it.

Looking at this article, he felt that it could only be written by a top scholar, and he liked it very much.

Taking the gentleman as the theme, it is extended to benevolence and righteousness for the people.

This is exactly what Song Shiwen has always advocated. He cherishes his reputation, calls himself a gentleman, and is honest and open-minded.

Such a good article is rare to see, and Song Shiwen simply couldn't believe that it was something that Song Chi could have written.

At this time, Song Ming also realized something was wrong. He snatched the test paper directly from his father's hand, his eyes full of disbelief.

Song Ming doesn't have any real talent or knowledge, but he does have some knowledge. This is clearly a shocking article!

"He didn't write this, absolutely not!"

Song Ming murmured, he raised his head and looked at Song Chi in disbelief.

There was even a hint of ferocity on his handsome face.

"You cheated, you must have cheated. With your level and qualifications, how could you write such an article!" Song Ming yelled almost out of control.

Bai Yong was extremely surprised by such an extreme reaction.

"County Magistrate Bai, did he cheat?" Song Ming stared at Bai Yong and asked him to tell the answer.

Bai Yong was slightly stunned and hesitated to speak. He didn't dare to look at Song Ming but lowered his head.

"cough."

At this time, Song Shiwen coughed dryly, and Song Ming realized his loss of composure and immediately restrained himself.

"Did he cheat?" Song Shiwen also asked in person.

"I was invigilating the exam with Magistrate Bai. Song Chi was practically under our noses, but we didn't notice him cheating. He was the first to hand in his paper."

Song Shiwen finally realized that it was not time to hand in the paper yet. Only an hour had passed. How could he have written such an article in such a short time?

"Could it be that he knew the test questions in advance?" Song Ming asked unwillingly.

If there weren't outsiders present, Song Chi would have been ready to rant. He said directly, "It was Magistrate Bai who set the test questions!"

"Yes, I set the test questions. There is no possibility of leakage." Bai Yong hurriedly agreed. He didn't dare to take the blame for leaking the test questions.

How could Master Ming ask such a brainless question?

Even if I leaked the test questions, I would not leak them to him. I either don't want a future or I don't want my life.

"I..." Song Ming knew that he had lost his composure again, but he could not control it at all.

Others don’t know that the person in front of them who wrote the shocking article is his half-brother. The more his talent is revealed, the greater the threat he poses to them.

Moreover, he is now suspected of being impotent and cannot carry on the Song family's bloodline, which makes him feel even more strongly about the crisis.

"I don't believe he can write such an article." Song Ming gritted his teeth.

"Whether it was written by Song Chi or not is determined by the two examiners, this humble official and County Magistrate Bai." Feng Yuan meant that Song Ming had no right to say such things.

"You..." A hint of coldness flashed in Song Ming's eyes. A mere seventh-rank magistrate dared to speak to him like that.

At this time, Song Shiwen suddenly asked, "Why is County Magistrate Feng so concerned about this article?"

He was talking about articles, but what he meant was actually people.

"Good writing is hard to come by, and talented people are hard to find. If this article were to be left in obscurity, it would be a dereliction of duty for me, the examiner!"

Feng Yuan clasped his fists and said, "I would like to ask the Prime Minister to judge whether this article should be ranked first in the county case."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Shiwen.

Song Chi also began to look at Song Shiwen, and the eyes of father and son met in mid-air.

Could it be that this rebellious son is really talented?

Then why was he so mediocre before, even like a waste? Was he hiding his incompetence?

Song Shiwen was increasingly confused about his son. Could it be that he had really misunderstood him before?

"Mr. Prime Minister, please make the decision." Feng Yuan asked again, and only then did Song Shiwen come back to his senses. He was the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, so of course he was qualified to make the decision.

"He's been selected as the top candidate in the county and will be announced tomorrow when the results are released."

Song Shiwen made a judgment immediately. Such an article would have no problem getting the first place in the county examination, let alone the prefectural examination. However, as the prime minister of the dynasty, how could he convince the people if he couldn't even be fair in this regard?

Besides, it was his son who wrote this article.

son!

Song Shiwen looked dazed for a moment. He thought of Song Chi's performance at the banquet. Talent could be faked, but composure and composure could not be faked. Could he really be talented? Did I misunderstand him before?

He couldn't help but start to reflect.
