As he spoke, he sighed regretfully, "I haven't heard of the name of the top of this year's list. I thought it must be a dark horse. I wanted to let the younger generation at home take a good look at his article, but it turns out that it hasn't even been published..."
Although this was said in a sarcastic tone, it gained everyone's approval.
"Yeah! Putting everything else aside, why hasn't the Huiyuan article been published? Could it be that he doesn't live up to his reputation and is afraid to show it to the public?!"

The incident became so serious that even neighboring countries heard about it and wrote letters to express "sympathy" - and they mocked the emperor severely!
