Chapter 398: Can they hear our conversation?



[The candidate's youngest sister is being held in the bottom of a ship bound for the north.]

[The middleman has already contacted and is preparing to sell the candidate's youngest sister and several other girls to an old widower in the north as concubines, and the rest to brothels for training...]

[The specific way out will be decided by the other party on the spot.]

[Hurry up, the ship will reach the shore in two or three days...]

Upon hearing this, the candidate immediately put down his brush. He was very satisfied and had only one thought in his mind: save his sister quickly!

When the examinee ran out of the hall, the prince moved and walked out of the hall.

The prince gave instructions to the guards, not only to help the candidates, but also to take the opportunity to catch the entire gang and rescue more women who had been abducted.

When the prince returned to the palace, he just heard his sister sigh.

[Why? He has already been selected for the palace examination. This exam is fair. This should mean that he is the most powerful student in the Dafeng Dynasty, right? ]

[Are there still so many people, except for a few whose families were implicated, whose own conduct cannot stand up to scrutiny, who are two-faced, and who harbor evil intentions? ]

[If even they are like this, then other scholars...]

After Huo Feng's analysis, Jun Baozhu felt relieved.

What he said made the ministers in the palace think deeply.

[Yes! The imperial examination selects talents, but passing the examination...]

【The knowledge of candidates can only be tested through examinations and palace examinations. 】

【But the character of the examinee is not detectable. 】

[They have reached such a level of knowledge that even if they do something bad, they know how to evade and cover it up.]

[The commitment phase added by the crown prince has used psychological tactics to make many candidates give up automatically, and screened out some candidates with poor moral character...]

[The fact that so many people give up shows that human nature is complicated. It is not as bright and sunny as it seems on the surface.]

[The only difference is that the previous exams were artificially operated, so the screening of moral character and the assessment of character could not be reflected.]

[Even though they knew the other party did not meet the requirements, they were still selected due to interests. ]

[But this time, because my father and the prince are fair and just, they have minimized the space for cheating...]

[It is impossible for people without real talent and knowledge to be shortlisted. Even if they are shortlisted, some people with guilty consciences will be eliminated through the palace examination and promises...]

[Although the remaining people may not necessarily be fine, their talents and virtues are far superior to those before them.]

[So, I shouldn’t feel disappointed just because the candidates are good or bad…]

[But you have to understand that it is because I know the truth and their true actions that I know how rare it is to find people with both integrity and talent...]

[But most people are unable to see this. They will be deceived by the personality or appearance of the scholars...]

[If I didn’t know, I would still feel that they are outstanding and far better than in previous years…]

The emperor patted his daughter on the back, silently comforting her.

The promised candidates were still waiting for the palace examination. The prince stepped forward decisively, picked up Jun Baozhu, and sent her back to Kunning Palace.

Jun Baozhu was shaken awake.

Her mother, Concubine Li, was helping her wipe her face and change her clothes.

Huo Feng noticed that she was awake and quickly broke the news.

【Last night, the palace examination was completely over. 】

【The scores will be calculated on the spot and the candidates will be confirmed for recruitment.】

[Among them, two were assigned to the Military Department of the Ministry of War, two to the Ministry of Revenue, two to the Ministry of Justice, and six to the Ministry of Rites.]

[The emperor said that he would make arrangements for the remaining eighteen people when the time is right.]

[The twelve people who were assigned to the places were all ranked high. ]

I learned that six people were assigned to the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Justice, which was consistent with the system's analysis and suggestions in the hall at that time...

Jun Baozhu not only suspected:

[What a coincidence? ]

[It just so happens that Father's arrangement is the same as what I had in mind? ]

[Could it be that Father can hear what I am thinking? ]
