So this time it wasn't that they were wrong, it wasn't that they shouldn't have exposed the cheating in the imperial examinations, but that they shouldn't have exposed it so rashly, right?
Xu Mo suddenly raised his head and met Qi Huai's burning gaze.
They can correct their mistakes, rectify their shortcomings, and make up for their deficiencies.
As long as the road ahead is bright and hopeful, they dare to keep going.
The worst thing is entering a dark and hopeless path, where no matter how hard they try, they can't see their own hand in front of their face.
"The imperial family did not thoroughly punish the ghostwriters because it involved too many people and too many powerful families." The Minister of Rites stroked his sparse beard. "But the imperial family did its best to hold the Zhu family accountable for the writing on behalf of An Jun, and issued an imperial edict to strip the Zhu family members of their academic titles."
"To protect An Jun, the imperial family ordered him to study at the Imperial Academy and allowed him to take the provincial examination ahead of schedule. As long as he obtained the title of Gongsheng, he would be a shoo-in for the Jinshi degree after the palace examination."
This is almost equivalent to returning An Jun's status as a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations) to him.
Although the imperial examination fraud behind the aristocratic families could not be exposed and all the ghostwriters rescued, the imperial family's handling of An Jun undoubtedly appeased the hearts of the ghostwriter students.

That's enough.
I believe that in the future, if they work hard enough, the imperial family will no longer depend on the aristocratic families, and the cheating in the imperial examinations in Fengjing, as well as the wrongful convictions, can be exposed, tried, and dealt with.
The boy's eyes were bright, his spine was straight, and he looked up at the sky.
A breeze blew by, causing their clothes to flutter, and it also showed the heavens their faith and determination.
They marched forward with high spirits, they shone brightly, they were just like Dou Weiming and Qi Zhenxiang twenty years ago.
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and smiled. In that instant, it was as if time flowed by, and they returned to that... spirited and vigorous era.
