Chapter 148 I'll Take Someone With Me Even If I Die

Chen Huailiang couldn't hide the joy on his face, but he didn't notice that the emperor's expression on the throne was becoming increasingly uglier.

At this point, is there anything unclear?

After Chen Huailiang finished laughing, Xie Huaiguang also laughed. He also clapped three times and deliberately said, "Then Brother Ziyun, I believe you also know where the annotations are. Why don't you modify the annotations and repeat them? How about that?"

Chen Huailiang: …

The laughter stopped abruptly.

How happy he was just now, how terrified he was now, it seemed that at this moment, even his heart stopped beating.

Yes, there are also annotation modifications. How could he forget this?

Chen Huailiang stared at Gu Ziyun. Even now, his heart was still full of expectations. He expected Gu Ziyun to talk as eloquently as he did just now and read out all the modified parts of the annotations.

But alas, no.

Gu Ziyun knelt there, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, completely mute.

Comments?

How could he know what annotations were? When Gu Zilu gave him his manuscripts, they were all clean and without any comments. At most, when he read them, he would make some minor changes if he thought something was not good here or there. But he had never seen the manuscripts that Luan Wu and the other two had revised! !

Gu Ziyun was completely confused. What was there that he didn't understand until now? He almost immediately looked up at Xie Huaiguang, his eyes full of resentment and questioning.

Why?

Why did Xie Huaiguang help Gu Zilu?

But Xie Huaiguang would not answer him at all. He just looked away indifferently and continued, "Gu Zilu, it's your turn."

"yes."

Gu Zilu spoke quietly. The boy's voice was a little childish, but it was unusually crisp. He pronounced each word clearly. After reciting, he explained that this was after the revision. Then he recited it again before the revision, and also stated the annotations of Luan Wu and the other two people separately. He could even accurately say which sentence's annotation revision was Luan Wu's, and which sentence was from the other two people.

Now that things have come to this, what else is there that you don’t understand?

Even without asking, everyone already knows who the mountain man is and who did the plagiarism.

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Ziyun, and the young man trembled like a sieve.

He could never have imagined that things would turn out like this.

Everything was arranged according to plan, wasn't it?

Obviously he had been extremely careful not to make any mistakes.

As for plagiarizing Gu Zilu's article, it was because when he was a child, his mother always forced him to make progress and to be more successful than Gu Zixuan. If he fell behind in his studies, he would be scolded by Lin Wanhui.

Lin Wanhui said that she was born out of wedlock, and if she didn't have any abilities, she would be bullied for the rest of her life.

She also said that Gu Zixuan's biological mother was the daughter of a prominent family in Hexi, and that he had innate advantages. She said that he had nothing and must be better so that he could gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

As a result, Lin Wanhui treated him even more harshly.

But studying was really difficult. He had tried his best to recite, but the boring sentences were obscure and difficult to understand. He had already tried his best to recite them and understand their meaning. However, the teacher asked them to use them flexibly and asked them to write a poem imitating the sentences of their ancestors.

Write poetry? ?

Gu Ziyun still remembers the embarrassment he felt at that time.

How could a bunch of kids write poetry? However, after a long time, everyone managed to write something in bits and pieces, except for him, who held the pen without missing a single word.

Write poetry?

It seems that he doesn't know how to do it...

Gu Ziyun's young heart trembled until he saw the scrap paper that Gu Zilu had left on the table. On it was a poem written casually. Although it was straightforward, it was catchy, enough to show Gu Zilu's talent.

At that moment, he finally understood what Lin Wanhui meant by innate advantages.

If you don't have any ability, you will be bullied all your life.

A concubine's child must be better than a legitimate child, so that she can gain a firm foothold in the palace in the future...

So little Gu Ziyun finally came up with a vicious idea, which was to take Gu Zilu's talent for himself.

Is Gu Ziyun stupid?

He is not stupid.

He could recite the Four Books and Five Classics at will, and Zuo Zhuan's Spring and Autumn Annals was even more fluent. If he could calm down and focus on poetry and prose, which he was not good at, he might pass the imperial examination and get on the list.

But unfortunately, Lin Wanhui put too much pressure on him. The things that Lin Wanhui cared too much about became shackles for Gu Ziyun, making him timid and unable to be himself, and he had no choice but to go down a path of no return.

From then on, Gu Ziyun finally tasted the sweetness of plagiarism, that is, his fame rose. Everyone thought that the talented one was Gu Ziyun, so much so that no one knew Gu Zilu.

Who is Gu Zilu? I don't know. He seems to be just a taciturn young master with little presence in the Marquis's mansion.

As for Gu Ziyun, ha, he is amazing. His quatrain is extremely talented. He has such talent at such a young age. What will he be like when he grows up!

Everyone paid more attention to Gu Ziyun, and even Gu Changqing treated his son differently.

"Haha, our Ziyun is most like me, talented and capable, great!"

So all kinds of expensive writing brushes, inks, papers and inkstones were brought into the study, and jade pendants were readily available. Gu Ziyun enjoyed everything that came with his talent, and turned around to show an arrogant attitude towards Gu Zilu.

"Think about your mother and write well for me!"

Yes, write well. The provincial examination is easy, but the metropolitan examination is difficult. There is also the palace examination above it. But it doesn’t matter. He has a good brain and can memorize it all. Add to that his understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, and it would be easy for him to mix Gu Zilu’s articles into a manuscript, right?

I just didn't expect that he would be the last in the imperial examination.

Scenes from the past emerged in his mind one after another, and it was not until this moment that Gu Ziyun suddenly woke up. He also suddenly understood what the four words "quick success and instant benefits" meant.

But who can he blame?

Gu Ziyun trembled slightly until he heard the emperor's majestic voice.

"...Gu Ziyun has been stripped of his title as a Jinshi and is forbidden from taking the imperial examinations forever. He will be caned..."

Eternal life cannot participate in scientific examinations? !

Gu Ziyun was shocked.

He was originally a bastard, destined to be inferior to legitimate children in this life. As a result, he could not participate in the imperial examinations in this life. What future could he have? !

Gu Ziyun suddenly raised his head and saw Gu Zilu kneeling there as if nothing had happened. His eyes were red and full of malice.

"Your Majesty! The students want to expose it!!"

Gu Ziyun collapsed and shouted: "Students are guilty of plagiarism, so isn't Gu Zilu, who gave me the manuscript to copy, also guilty!!"

"Students request that both of us brothers be convicted together!"

Su Jin, who knocked her teeth while eating melon: …

hiss!!

You lunatic, you're going to take someone with you even if you die! !
