Chapter 237 I have seen this article
Yan Wenjing took out a pile of papers from his arms and said lightly: "These are the articles of those candidates, copied from the test papers."
Xia Miaoyuan immediately became excited when she heard it. [Is Wei Chong's paper in it?]
She was playing the nine-ring game at the side, but she threw it aside and came to Xia Zhengqi's desk.
Xia Zhengqi took the pile of papers and opened them one by one.
[Let me see if there is Wei Chong's thing.]
Xia Miaoyuan simply climbed onto her father's lap.
Xia Zhengqi smiled secretly in his heart and took the opportunity to hold her in his arms: "Miao'er also wants to see the candidates' essays? Come, read with your father."
Yan Wenjing was a little dissatisfied when he saw the emperor holding the baby to read the papers, but thinking about how Emperor Mingxi usually regarded his daughter as a treasure, he suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Xia Miaoyuan stretched out her little hand to help Xia Zhengqi turn the papers.
[Ahhhhh! Wei Chong! There really is something about him!]
Xia Miaoyuan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
[What should I do? What should I do? How should I remind my father. 】
Xia Zhengqi deliberately said casually: "Wei Chong, this name is easy to remember."
Yan Wenjing said: "Yes, this Wei Chong's article, I and the deputy examiners are all very impressed."
"Oh? Really? Let me take a look." Xia Zhengqi took the opportunity to pick up Wei Chong's paper.
【This article is not good! It is plagiarized! 】Xia Miaoyuan bit her lips anxiously.
【What should I do, what should I do, otherwise after Master Yan leaves, I will tell my father that this article is not good. 】
Xia Miaoyuan was anxious, and Emperor Mingxi said: "Huh? That's not right. Why do I seem to have read this article!"
Yan Wenjing was stunned: "How is this possible?"
【Yes, yes, this article is plagiarized. If the original author's article has been circulated, someone will have read it. 】
【Ah, could it be that Dad has just read this article? 】 Xia Miaoyuan's eyes sparkled, and his tense mood relaxed a lot.
Xia Zhengqi pretended to try hard to recall, and thought for a while with his forehead in his hand. He
slapped his thigh and said, "I remember it!"
"A few years ago, when I was on a secret tour, I accidentally saw a collection of articles. It was collected by a scholar himself. It was a collection of articles between him and a good friend."
Xia Miaoyuan clapped her hands excitedly.
【Yes, yes, that talented man had a good friend. The two often studied together, and they would come up with their own topics, and then write articles separately to compare. 】
【I didn't expect that the friend had already made a collection of articles! This is not written in the book! 】
【That's right, it's just an insignificant supporting role, it's normal that it's not written. Xia Zhengqi
couldn't help but smile when he heard his daughter's inner voice.
Haha, it's all thanks to his fairy daughter who reminded him, otherwise how could he know so much.
He tried to suppress the corners of his mouth and continued: "After reading it, I praised the article for being well written. There is an article with sharp views, which is basically the same as Wei Chong's article."
Xia Miaoyuan was surprised and happy when he heard this, [Ah, right, right. Wei Chong copied the article of that talented scholar. Yan Wenjing
froze in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?! It's been several years, could your majesty have remembered it wrongly?"
Xia Zhengqi said seriously: "I can't remember it wrongly. When I read this article, I wanted to invite the scholar's friend to the capital to be an official. But when I asked, I found out that the man had died of illness."
[Wow! I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!]
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan had excitedly jumped off the lap of Emperor Mingxi and went to the side to spin in circles.
"Pa Pa!" Xia Zhengqi clapped his hands twice, and Cheng Feng flashed in from outside the house and saluted Xia Zhengqi.
"What does your majesty want?"
"Cheng Feng, hurry up and go to Wei Chong's hometown to investigate, and visit his teachers and classmates."
"Investigate Wei Chong's study from childhood to adulthood, and his articles from childhood to adulthood."
"Also..." Xia Zhengqi took out Wei Chong's article, folded it a few times and handed it to Cheng Feng.
"Take this article to show your teachers and classmates, and ask them if they have any impression."
Cheng Feng took the order and left.
Xia Zhengqi looked out the window firmly and said, "First eliminate Wei Chong, and you examiners can first select the champion from these candidates."
"As for whether the article is plagiarized, wait for Cheng Feng to return and the evidence will be the basis."
Yan Wenjing nodded in admiration: "Your majesty is doing this, it is very appropriate."
Xia Miaoyuan looked up at Xia Zhengqi in admiration, [Dad is really wise and powerful. It's so admirable. 】
【Hey, why does the book say that Dad is a useless emperor? This is not useless. 】
"Ahem..." Xia Zhengqi was drinking tea with his cup in hand, and he almost choked when he heard his daughter's words.
Xia Zhengqi: ...
Debao hurriedly stepped forward and patted Xia Zhengqi on the back, "Your Majesty, please drink tea slowly."
Xia Zhengqi paused, and then asked Yan Wenjing: "Among the candidates who passed the examination for tribute students this time, is there a candidate named Zhu Qi?"
"There are a total of 360 candidates who passed the examination for tribute students, and I can't remember their names."
Yan Wenjing said, while taking out a document from his arms and handing it to the table with both hands.
"However, I have brought the list of candidates, please take a look, Your Majesty."
Xia Zhengqi immediately took the document in his hand and began to look through it.
When Xia Miaoyuan heard this, she thought of Zhu Qi and became nervous again.
[Oh, Zhu Qi, oh, this princess was so focused on Wei Chong that she almost forgot about Zhu Qi. ]
"Let me see!" Xia Miaoyuan said in a baby voice, and climbed onto Emperor Mingxi's lap again.
Xia Zhengqi looked at his daughter lovingly: "Hahaha! Our Miao'er really cares about national affairs!"
The father and daughter began to check the list carefully from the beginning to the end, row by row.
It was not until they looked slightly back in the middle that the father and daughter discovered the word "Zhu Qi".
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
"Good, it's good that this person has entered the palace examination!" Xia Zhengqi said.
Yan Wenjing looked at Xia Zhengqi with some doubts, and asked tentatively: "Is this Zhu Qi an old friend of your majesty? What's special about him?"
Xia Zhengqi stroked his beard and tried to make up a lie: "Well, I heard that he looks very special, and I want to see it with my own eyes."
Yan Wenjing: Your Majesty, are you serious?
Xia Miaoyuan blinked her big eyes, puzzled.
[The book doesn't say that Zhu Qi looks very special. Is there so much hidden content in the book? ]
...
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the next month, the day of the City God Temple meeting, and also the day the prince and Rong Chuyue agreed to go out and play.
Rong Mansion.
Rong Chuyue got up early in the morning, washed and dressed, and changed into men's clothes.
This time, Rong Chuyue only told her family that she wanted to go to the City God Temple to burn incense and pray. When
the old lady and the wife of the Rong family heard that she was going to burn incense, although they were not very willing to let her go, they did not stop her too much and acquiesced.
