[Wait a minute?]
Shen Zhiyi rubbed his eyes somewhat inappropriately.
[Am I seeing this wrong? Am I seeing this right? What's going on? ]
The old emperor put his hands behind his back and turned towards Shen Zhiyi calmly.
The other courtiers present also leaned towards Shen Zhiyi without making a sound.
So a strange scene appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The capable people standing at the top of the pyramid of this dynasty were all leaning in one direction.
The candidates who noticed this couldn't help but start thinking, is this the unique standing posture of important people?
This also led to this group of officials standing sideways when they went out in the future.
[Does the governor surnamed Wang have the Sichuan Basin in his head? ]
[Pour some water in it and shake it, and the brains will be mixed evenly. ]
The court officials who were originally puzzled about the "Sichuan Basin" now understood.
Shen Zhiyi was scolding the governor for having a hole in his brain.
So who did the governor marry his daughter to?
[I read it several times before I could believe it and confirmed that the governor surnamed Wang married his daughter to the county magistrate of a county in Haozhou, Henan Province! ]
[If you marry your daughter to a governor or the governor's son, or a handsome guy, or a guy with good character, I won't say anything. What is this stupid county magistrate trying to do by marrying his daughter to a county magistrate who has corrupt morals and likes gambling? ]
[You are from a very important family, so what's the matter with this county magistrate? ]
[A county magistrate is usually an eighth-rank official. If this seal wins the first prize, then his starting point will be a sixth-rank official. Can't you understand such a simple arithmetic problem? ]
Shen Zhiyi expressed that he didn't understand, he really didn't understand.
The other court officials present also expressed their incomprehension.
Isn’t it said that even the prime minister is not worthy of his family? Then what is this county magistrate now!
Everyone felt a burning pain on their face.
After being an official for so many years, this is the first time I feel like someone is shitting on their heads.
This matter must be made clear. This is no longer a simple matter of Huiyuan and the governor's daughter falling in love.
The old emperor was also very angry and his mood was extremely low.
[Found it! Found it! ]
[The county magistrate's surname was Cui. When he came to propose marriage to the governor named Wang, he said that his ancestors were from the Cui family of Qinghe.]
Everyone: Oh, another declining family.
[When the previous dynasty was first established, it frantically suppressed the noble families. By the time the old emperor came to power, the arrogance of those noble families had long been extinguished. Basically, there are very few children from noble families active on the stage of this dynasty. Of course, there are still some, but one or two are still very low-key. ]
[I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, there are still such fools. Your ancestors married for profit. Why would you, a provincial governor, marry a county magistrate?]
[To pay off the debt to the county magistrate? ]
Shen Zhiyi sneered angrily, and his sneer attracted the attention of many candidates.
Because of what Shen Zhiyi did in the Imperial Examination Hall, many people had some impression of her.
Did they answer very poorly?
It was so bad that the chief examiner of the imperial examination actually sneered.
Many candidates wiped their foreheads in fear, and their originally confident faces became a little guilty.
[How stupid! Prime Minister Wang’s surname is Wang, but his ancestors were not from the Wang family of Taiyuan.]
Prime Minister Wang looked at Shen Zhiyi with wide eyes.
No, you know his ancestors are not from Taiyuan Wang family, then why are you dragging him out!!!
If it weren't for the requirement to maintain silence in the hall, Prime Minister Wang would have wanted to knock the ground with his cane a few times to express his dissatisfaction.
[So, although the county magistrate's surname is Cui, his ancestors are not from the Qinghe Cui family! You have been deceived, Governor Wang.]
[No, it doesn’t matter if you were cheated, but don’t harm your own daughter. If she wants to get married, why don’t you just go and get married yourself? ]
Everyone: What a stupid governor.
The old emperor: Can such a person be a governor? Is there no one left in Daye?
Fang Zhang, who was so exhausted from taking the exam, answered the questions quickly, but at the same time he noticed that the old emperor was hanging around him.
Is there something wrong with what he wrote?
He checked it carefully several times. The handwriting was neat and the content seemed good, so what went wrong?
He looked up with some confusion.
It would be fine if he didn't look up, but this time he looked up it would be terrible.
Many ministers were watching him secretly.
Is there something on my face?
The old emperor coughed lightly and asked, "Have you finished writing?"
Fang Zhang stood up in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, I have finished answering."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was some commotion in the hall.
"Is that all? You're just pretending."
"That's right, how can you write so fast?"
Generally speaking, the palace examination would last until sunset. It was only noon now, so there was still plenty of time in the afternoon.
[Human potential is unlimited. Maybe this is the power of love. If it were any other time, Yuan would not be able to answer so quickly. But now he is very anxious. 】
The old emperor picked up Fang Zhang's answer sheet and asked, "You seem to be quite familiar with farming."
"After my family fell into decline, I returned to my ancestors to farm. I grew up in the fields, so I am naturally familiar with this, but not as familiar as Your Majesty."
[Hahahaha, is he mocking the old emperor for coming from a farming family?]
If Fang Zhang could hear Shen Zhiyi's inner voice now, he would be so scared that he would kowtow several times on the spot.
"I think your writing is good. How about this, the county magistrate of Mengcheng County, Bozhou?"
Fang Zhang was visibly stunned.
