Ma Jingming stood up. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know the impact of retaking the imperial examination? This year is a major examination year. In two months, there will be the provincial examination, and in February of next year, the metropolitan examination... Can you change that just by saying so?"
"Also, I was the chief examiner for the college entrance examination, and you were the deputy examiner. If you said there was something fishy going on, then what were you doing earlier? We both have a crime that we can't get rid of."
After being scolded, Liu He was speechless.
"But now Song Chi has won first place, and all 28 of his students have passed the entrance exam. How can we explain this to Master Ming?"
Ma Jingming said in a low voice: "Let's announce the results. It's too late to say anything now..."
I've tried my best to pave the way for you, and I hope you won't let me down.
There were already huge crowds of people outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
Today is the day for the results to be announced, and all the candidates and curious people have come to the announcement area outside the door.
Duan Yunzhou led the members of Qingtingke Society in the front row, and behind Song Chi were the candidates from Donglin Academy who were taking the college entrance examination.
The two sides stood facing each other, and the others watched the fun.
Seeing Duan Yunzhou's expression, Li Cheng stepped forward with his head held high. "Song Chi, the college entrance examination results will be announced soon. Are you ready to kowtow to us?"
Everyone behind him laughed.
"As long as you have self-awareness and do your best to be the champion of your literary competition, you have to take the college entrance examination without knowing your own limitations. You even brazenly claim that you will help your people pass the examination. What do you think the college entrance examination is?"
Duan Yunzhou sneered. "The details of the college entrance examination have spread. You were assigned to a leaky exam room. All your writing materials were lost, and you didn't even finish your paper. I don't know how you dared to show up here."
People around were whispering.
There were many candidates taking the college entrance examination, and many of them had seen Song Chi being bullied. After being exaggerated and spread, the news became known to everyone. It was impossible for him to answer in that state. Even if he had amazing talent, it would be useless if he could not display it.
Taking in the reactions of the people around him, Duan Yunzhou smiled faintly and said, "The results of the college entrance examination haven't been announced yet. To avoid embarrassing you, I'm willing to give you a chance. As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me right now, I'll let you go."
"Otherwise, you'll have to kowtow to me ten times after the results are announced."
"What a noise!"
Song Chi scratched his ears and said calmly, "I'll give you the same words. If you beg for mercy now, I'll forgive you this time to avoid embarrassment later."
"Haha, I admire you a little. You are still so stubborn even when you are about to die." Duan Yunzhou obviously didn't take Song Chi seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came in.
"This person has always been so stubborn, he won't cry until he sees the coffin!"
A passage was made in the crowd, and Song Ming, dressed in brocade clothes, walked over with his hands behind his back. This was his first public appearance since the end of the literary gathering.
As long as Song Chi fails to pass the college entrance examination, his father will give up on him.
Lu Taiyuan, the second-in-command of the Qingliu Party who used him as a pawn, would also abandon him.
Song Ming had no more worries.
"Mr. Ming."
"Mr. Ming."
Seeing Song Ming coming over, Duan Yunzhou immediately came forward to greet him, and the people around him rushed to greet him in a humble tone.
The prime minister of the dynasty has great power in the court and his word is final.
His son has such power that others only dare to speak about him behind his back, and everyone who meets him has to call him Master Ming.
No matter what, this identity cannot be lost, and it cannot be taken away by that bastard Song Chi!
A cold light flashed in his eyes and then he returned to calmness.
The people around him subconsciously avoided him. They all knew that Song Ming appeared here just to make fun of Song Chi.
The imperial examinations in Jiangzhou have always been controlled by the literati party. How could Song Chi, the mortal enemy of Master Ming, possibly pass the examination?
"I can give you one chance. As long as you leave him and stand with me, I can guarantee you a bright future. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
Song Ming made no secret of his threat and threatened directly.
The competition between the Wen Party and the Qingliu Party was fierce. Due to the struggle for the throne, the Qingliu Party, which had been dormant, also began to rise. Jiangzhou was the base camp of the Wen Party. He wanted to establish the power of his father and the Wen Party and let everyone know that those who obey will live and those who disobey will die.
Following Song Chi will lead to death.
But he miscalculated.
The people behind Song Chi didn't move a step.
Only a fool would not follow a "genius" who knows the college entrance examination papers in advance and gives each of them an answer.
These twenty-eight people are Song Chi's most loyal team.
"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Seeing that no one moved, Song Ming's face turned cold.
People around were surprised and suspicious.
They also didn't know what kind of talents Song Chi had that could make so many people loyal to him.
"Well, after the results are announced, you will see how humble he is!" Song Ming said no more. His murderous intention towards Song Chi grew stronger. If he had not been concerned about Liang Qingwu, he would have taken action long ago.
That woman is crazy.
Song Ming still can't forget the kick Liang Qingwu gave him in Ji County. That was the closest he had ever been to death.
"I'm afraid your plan is going to fail." Song Chi said loudly: "Today, I will prove to everyone that you can't cover up everything with one hand!"
He finished speaking.
The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened and a young man walked out. He glanced at Song Ming and subconsciously lowered his head. He quickened his hands to post the list on the notice board and then quickly went back.
Seeing this scene, Song Ming had a bad feeling in his heart. He could tell at a glance that this person was guilty. Could something have happened?
"Ha ha."
"The results have been announced. Song Chi, just wait and kowtow to us." Duan Yunzhou laughed.
Li Cheng stepped forward excitedly.
