"Uncle." Liu Erbao's face showed obvious impatience.
"I told you to just buy a minor official position, but you had to make things get out of control. Do you think an audience with the emperor is a joke?"
"Oh, Uncle." Liu Erbao smirked dismissively, "You're overthinking it. A few simple questions are no problem for me. I was prepared before I came."
"Preparations?" Yin Tingpu frowned deeply. "What preparations have you made?"
"Prefect Zhao of Shuntian Prefecture has already given me a test paper in advance. I have already looked at it before I came, so you can rest assured, Uncle." Liu Erbao said dismissively.
Lord Zhao, Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.
Yin Tingpu had a vague impression of this person, but he wasn't familiar with him.
He was newly promoted from among the local officials who had performed outstandingly after the incident involving Prefect Chen of Shuntian Prefecture.
However, he was always out handling local affairs and rarely in the central government.
Yin Tingpu didn't have much of an impression of this person.
I never expected that.
He was actually the proctor for this imperial examination.
Leaking the questions is a capital offense.
Could it be that this Lord Zhao really has such audacity, willing to risk his life for money?
The imperial examination was personally supervised by the emperor; how could he possibly have the questions?
Yin Tingpu found this unreliable: "I'm warning you, when you meet the Emperor, don't do anything out of line. Our current Emperor is not so easily fooled."
Liu Erbao chuckled dismissively: "Uncle, do you know why you've worked your whole life and are still just a Grand Commandant? It's because you're too cowardly."
Yin Tingpu was taken aback by what he was told.
Liu Erbao's words made him feel suffocated, as if someone was choking him and he couldn't breathe.
How did he end up with such an arrogant and ignorant nephew?
Yin Tingpu had a vague sense of unease.
His voice was unusually serious and earnest when he spoke again: "When the Emperor asks questions later, try not to speak. As long as your name is not called, remain silent. Do not stand in front of the crowd; be sure to stand at the back. Do you understand?"
Liu Erbao frowned deeply and said impatiently, "I know, I know."
He knew it.
His uncle has looked down on him since he was a child.
I always felt he was useless.
Leaning back is absolutely impossible.
He already knew the questions for the palace examination, and he already had the answers, so why should he be relegated to the later stage?
He doesn't even care about the third-place scholar anymore.
He was about to rush to the front.
If he could answer fluently.
He's the top scorer this year.
If he becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, his uncle will have to take the surname Li whenever he sees him.
I just thought about it in my mind.
Liu Erbao felt great. He squeezed into the crowd and stood in the most conspicuous spot.
Yin Tingpu: ...
He was really driven crazy by his nephew.
He felt that sooner or later, he would be ruined by this good-for-nothing nephew.
Pei Qin moved closer to Lu Zhaolin: "Brother, I really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we met here."
"Yes." Lu Zhaolin nodded and returned the greeting.
Pei Qin's smile suddenly froze: "We're relatives, there's no need to be so polite."
Lu Zhaolin smiled but remained silent.
Sometimes, it's only when something terrible happens in the family that you can tell who is human and who is a ghost.
On ordinary days, everyone seems to be nice to each other.
