"Have you heard? The county government announced the results today, and the little prodigy won first place in the county exam!"
"What? Isn't the little prodigy only 9 years old?"
"Yes, that group of scholars said that the little prodigy will soon become the youngest county champion in Daliang!"
“Oh, that’s amazing!”
"The latest news is that a farce just happened in the county government office. The examinees questioned whether the little prodigy's first place in the county was obtained by cheating, and they surrounded the little prodigy on the spot."
"ah?"
"But the little prodigy was not afraid at all. He just let the students on the scene ask questions and he answered them! There were hundreds of questions, but not a single one could stump the little prodigy!"
“Oh my god!”
This incident was so sensational that it quickly spread throughout Nanyang County.
All the people who heard the news were very excited and fascinated. They only regretted that they were not there to witness the dazzling demeanor of the little prodigy solving 100 questions by himself.
One man faced off against a thousand men and still held his own.
With strength, all doubts will disappear.
What kind of talent and courage does it take to accomplish this!
The group of examinees who wrongly accused the little prodigy of "cheating" for no reason were also despised by the people of Nanyang.
Seeing that he was young but won the first place in the county, he was jealous, so he slandered him for cheating.
What a shameless thing, you have read so much that you have become a dog!
Just think about it, not long ago, the little prodigy was commended by His Majesty, and the people of Nanyang County were exempted from taxes and labor service for several years.
How dare you repay kindness with enmity!
The people cursed very vulgarly.
Therefore, many candidates who took part in the county examination this year have not dared to appear in public recently.
One is the fear of being scolded.
Second, the heart of Taoism is broken, and it takes time to heal itself!
Recently, when many candidates closed their eyes at night to go to sleep, the terrifying scene of Cui Xian solving 100 questions came into their minds, and they tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
So scary!
How could a nine-year-old child be so talented and wicked?
Because everyone was scared, in the end, no one dared to bring it up again, and the county government announced the answer sheet of the county's top judge.
This made County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng very regretful: "Such a wonderful answer sheet, not making it public is really a great pity for those students."
Hearing this, Prefect Song was speechless.
Countless of those examinees have lost their faith in Taoism. If they had read Cui Xian's answer sheet again...
I’m afraid everyone will go home crying.
In short, the doubts about the county's top judge have been settled in Nanyang City.
But, outside of Nanyang, it’s hard to say!
Prefect Song took a deep breath and said, "Seal the papers and submit the results of this county exam to Kaifeng Prefecture. This is too big a matter for us to handle. Let's hand it over to the higher authorities."
"good."
Ye Huaifeng agreed and submitted the ranking of this county examination and the answer sheet to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Three days later.
Education Office.
After receiving the Nanyang County Examination results, a deputy official stared at the "Nine-year-old Cui Xian, the first place in the county exam" in shock for a long time, then slammed the table and stood up: "Absurd! Nine-year-old first place in the county exam, it's really ridiculous!"
"This Cui Xian, is he a disciple of Mr. Dong Lai? What a bold Nanyang County Magistrate!"
"I will report this to the Education Commissioner immediately!"
The Education Office was a very special department, which was only responsible for the imperial examinations and teaching in the entire province.
All the assistants in the yamen are pedantic old scholars.
They don’t care what your background is. This is a matter concerning the sacred imperial examination, and no one can play any tricks in it!
The eyes of the old gentlemen are the ruler of justice!
Therefore, the words of this old judge caused more judges to be outraged and angry.
A group of gray-haired old gentlemen were very excited and found the Education Commissioner, vowing to make Nanyang County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng give an explanation.
When the Superintendent of Education heard about this, he was furious, as if he had heard about it for the first time. "Oh? Is this true? This is really outrageous!"
"Come here, open the examination papers of this year's Nanyang County Examination so that the old gentlemen can take a look and see what the first place in the Nanyang County Examination, Nine Years Old, has written!"
now.
No one noticed the subtlety in the words of the Inspector General - he himself did not choose to be the first to see it, but let this group of old officials see it.
An assistant clerk angrily took the order, opened the seals of the Nanyang County examination papers, found Cui Xian's copy, and checked it in public.
Then, the more the clerk looked, the wider his eyes widened.
The education commissioner blinked and deliberately asked, "What did this nine-year-old county champion write?"
The old clerk was already very excited. When he heard the word "nine years old", he rolled his eyes and fainted with trembling amid exclamations.
On this day, all the old officials in the Education Office went "crazy".
Some people held the test paper in their hands, as if they had found a treasure, and cried bitterly.
Someone was shouting crazily, "Compared with him, my life is a joke."
And amidst the noisy sounds.
The Education Commissioner withheld the answer sheets of the Nanyang County examination and only sent the ranking documents of the examination results to the Ministry of Rites in the capital at an urgent speed of 800 miles.
A nine-year-old county case leader has appeared in Nanyang. This kind of thing must be reported as soon as possible.
As for why only the results are sent and not the answer sheets - Lord Zheng has prepared everything, so the Education Commissioner naturally needs to be more sensible and produce results.
Give out the results first, let the censors come out and criticize, then hand over the test papers to shut up those critics.
The bigwigs in the court are all good at this.
If I don't act like a monkey, how can Your Majesty just watch and enjoy the fun when he goes to court every day?
Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this idea.
