Chapter 243 Follow the Trend
"Those who kill good ministers will be punished by God!"
"People who use them won't be able to pass the imperial examinations!"
What a vicious curse.
His companions were all in a panic, and at this point they no longer cared about the consequences for him, and quickly distanced themselves from the matter: "My lady, you know clearly that he and I are not in the same group, and I have no dissatisfaction with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Ma'am, I need that fur!"
But he was still thrown out along with his bad friends.
The friend was speechless: "What's wrong with you?"
"Yes, the rumors, folklore and storytelling all say that Princess Tianzhen killed Zhongliang to fill her own private treasury."
"Then your majesty was deceived into thinking that the victims were corrupt officials."
"But now we are just low-level students, just children, and have not yet passed the imperial examination."
"We have not yet been able to touch upon the authenticity of the news. Can you not be so arbitrary and assume that everything you hear is true?"
The scholar was not convinced: "Why do you think it's fake? The truth is right in front of you. What is there to doubt?"
While the two were arguing, a group of soldiers came with their men, led by Madam Tan.
Madam Tan pointed at the scholar and said, "It was him who spread rumors and slandered the princess's reputation."
The scholar remained unyielding and said, "I am only telling the truth. How can that be slander?"
The leader waved his hand and said, "Take it away."
His friend next to him was terrified and quickly stayed away from him.
The scholar was taken away, but he still went up to him out of friendship and asked, "Brother, the imperial examination will be held in a few days."
"Can he let it out before entering the examination room?"
The leader was speechless: "You spread rumors about the royal family, and you still want to take the exam?"
“All the fame is gone.”
My friend was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, but luckily he didn't follow the trend.
Bei Jingchu had no idea about these rumors.
Because there were too many, she simply stopped caring.
But Haoyue was a little worried: "Your Highness wants to win over the son of a poor family, right?"
"They misunderstood Your Highness, so you can't stop them, right?"
Bei Jingchu looked through the candidates' essays and selected candidates from them.
"The people I promote must be representatives from humble backgrounds."
"But the people I want to promote must be smart."
"I'm too lazy to discipline an idiot."
"This time, please help me select students with good vision."
"If you can't distinguish right from wrong, you will only hold me back in the future."
"As for the others who follow suit, once my reputation is cleared, they will naturally follow suit and praise me. Don't worry about them."
As she read, she rubbed her eyes in the dim light.
Haoyue looked distressed and advised: "If Your Highness wants to recruit someone, just find the top few in the provincial examination."
"Why bother reading all the articles of the tutors one by one?"
Bei Jingchu yawned but continued to browse quickly.
"The top few in the provincial examinations in each prefecture are talented people who are good at literature, history, and poetry."
"Such a person is worth arresting, but there are also lost pearls in the sea."
"I only care about policy essays and abacus. Poetry and calligraphy can be put aside for now."
[Well, for example, I am not good at poetry, so this doesn’t have much impact~]
[We should also give some opportunities to those who are not talented but smart, right? ]
Haoyue: ...Your Highness's poems are indeed extremely bad.
Bei Jingchu found a stunning policy paper.
This example ranks low.
The handwriting is not very beautiful, and the poetry is nothing special, it is all mechanical.
The writing is novel.
