"Congratulations Zhiyun, you have succeeded." Ji Xiaoju did not expect that the first person to achieve her expected goal would be Ji Zhiyun.
"Will we meet again in the future?" Although Ji Zhiyun wanted them to stay, he knew that they did not belong here. They had come here and brought hope and light, and he could not selfishly force them to stay.
"Of course, you are familiar with mobile phones now." Gu Can and the others have already communicated with Tiandao and can give the dimensional mobile phone to Ji Zhiyun.
"This is."
"Plane phone, call us if you miss us. Even though I've reported this to the Heavenly Dao, you still can't tell anyone about it. Remember to keep it a secret."
"Yeah, I know!" Ji Zhiyun became happy instantly.
Ji Zhiyun left the army, and Ji Xiaoju and the others completed their mission. After bidding them a solemn farewell, he left this world.
"Gu Can, you are just a merchant's daughter, yet you dared to steal Xiangzhi's top scholar title? I don't know what means you used, but I tell you, within three days, you must return the top scholar title to Xiangzhi, otherwise I will report you for cheating in the imperial examination and execute your entire clan."
Gu Can looked at the man in front of him, wearing a golden four-claw dragon robe. He turned around, rode his horse to the outside of the Meridian Gate, and struck the drum to report to the emperor.
"Gu Can, what are you doing?" The prince didn't expect Gu Can to do this. He was a little flustered, but then he calmed down. He was the prince. Gu Xiangzhi was the prime minister's legitimate daughter. No matter what Gu Can did, he would die.
"Who is beating the drum to report the incident?" asked the emperor.
Today was the Spring Imperial Examination, and it was time for the newly crowned top scholar, second place, and third place winners to parade through the streets. Who would strike the drum at this moment?
Gu Can didn't stop, and the crowd of onlookers grew. Without the top scorer arriving, the second and third place winners naturally couldn't parade through the streets.
When everything was ready, Gu Can was called away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then he came to beat the drum to report the incident. Could it be that Gu Can wanted to sue the Crown Prince?
Are you so brave? Is this the confidence of a top scorer?
"Look at the clothes, the one beating the drum must be the top scorer in the imperial examination." Common people always love to join in the fun.
"That's right, the top scorer in the Golden Examination is a woman. Ten years ago, His Majesty allowed women to take the imperial examinations, and she is the first woman to do so."
"You really make us girls proud!"
"But she's beating the drum to report her case. Could it be that she's been wronged?"
The people were talking about it, and the prince's face gradually became ugly. No matter what Gu Can said today, or what her ending would be, his reputation would definitely be ruined. How dare she do this to Gu Can?
"Your Majesty, the one beating the drum to announce the news is the top scorer in the imperial examination, Gu Can."
"She? This girl is extremely talented, well-informed, and her writings are critical of current issues. I have high hopes for her. I've heard she's humble and reserved, so why would she want to report to the emperor?"
"Your Majesty, yes, it's because of the Crown Prince."
"Prince? Please tell me quickly."
"Before the parade, the prince suddenly called away Gu Zhuangyuan, and then struck the drum outside the Meridian Gate. Many people gathered around the parade today, this..." The chief steward hadn't finished his words, but the emperor already understood.
Not only did he have to accept this matter, he also had to conduct a fair and open trial and give the people an explanation.
"Inform all officials to gather outside the Meridian Gate today to see what injustice our number one scholar has suffered that has reached the point where they have to beat the drum to report the case." The emperor was also a little angry. Even if the prince was incompetent, he still represented the face of the royal family.
Although Gu Can is very talented, he is still too inexperienced in handling things. He needs to temper himself before he can take on important tasks.
No matter what the emperor thought, he set off and arrived outside the Meridian Gate.
"Long live the emperor."
"Stand up."
At this time, Gu Can stopped knocking.
"Newly crowned number one scholar, Gu Can, what grievances have you suffered?" the emperor asked directly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there was cheating in this spring examination. All the candidates who took part in this spring examination are wronged." Gu Can lifted up his official robe and knelt on one knee.
"Cheating! Gu Can, do you have evidence?" Imperial examination cheating was no small matter. Civil and military officials, the common people watching, and all the candidates, both those who failed and those who passed, were present. Even the smallest of voices, when combined, became a deafening roar.
"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who told me." Gu Can turned to look at the Crown Prince.
"Prince, is this true?" The emperor looked at the prince.
"Father, your Majesty, your son is your subject."
"explain"
"Your Majesty, I didn't say that." The prince naturally didn't dare to make his words known to everyone.
"Gu Can, what do you have to say?"
"Gu Can, you are just a merchant's daughter, yet you dared to snatch Xiangzhi's top scholar title. I don't know what means you used, but I tell you, within three days, you must return the top scholar title to Xiangzhi, otherwise I will report you for cheating in the imperial examination and execute your entire clan. Your Highness, don't you remember?"
"Prince, are you serious? I don't know how the number one scholar I personally selected cheated. Could it be that I colluded with her? Prime Minister Gu, did your daughter participate in the Spring Examination this time?"
"Your Majesty, my daughter did participate in this spring examination, but she missed one subject due to illness. Therefore, she is not eligible to take the palace examination." Prime Minister Gu was very panicked at this time. What the hell is wrong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
What does Gu Can's success in the imperial examination have to do with Xiangzhi? If he fails this time, he can just try again next time. He can't be sick every time. Xiangzhi is not bad at studying.
"Your Majesty, I am just sorry that Xiangzhi missed the exam. Becoming the first female number one scholar in the Great Zhou has always been her dream. I was confused." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to argue, but no matter how he argued, he had lost face today.
