Chapter 1305
Chapter 1305: Both Breakthrough Chapter 1305: Both Breakthrough “That’s not like you,” Zhang Ronghua said curiously.
“I believe in Lord Marquis.
The general exams and the court examinations are both placed on the top scorer.
The odds are one to a hundred!”
“Aren’t you afraid of losing money?”
“Your judgment has always been very accurate.
You definitely won’t lose!”
“I’ll play with you too.” Zhang Ronghua laughed.
He took out twenty thousand silver and handed it to Uncle Shi.
“I’ll find a bigger casino later and buy Xu Ning High School.”
“Yes, sir!” Uncle Shi replied and kept the silver notes.
…
“I’m nothing compared to the Marquis,” Tie Changlin sighed.
“His talent is indeed not bad.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Top Scorer.
It’s just that his luck is a little bad.
I hope that he won’t cause any trouble this time and can perform normally.
Otherwise, our silver will go down the drain.”
They looked at each other and smiled.
The carriage stopped at the Wenlin Courtyard, which was specially set up for the imperial examinations.
On normal days, the Imperial College and the Imperial College would also hold important events here.
The soldiers of the Fifth Division of City Defense were already on alert.
They were on guard every three steps and every five steps.
The defense was tight.
Other than them, there were also experts guarding to prevent any accidents from happening.
The leader of the guards was none other than Zheng Fugui.
Seeing that his cousin had arrived, he quickly stepped forward.
There were subordinates and examinees around him.
They were clearly separated.
He cupped his fists and bowed.” Greetings, Lord Marquis and Lord Tie!”
“Have you made the arrangements?” Zhang Ronghua asked with his hands behind his back.
“Everything is ready!”
“Murong An will bring some people over later.
When they arrive, let them in.”
“Yes, sir!” Zheng Fugui replied.
Zhang Ronghua looked at the examinees beside him.
There was still some time before the start of the imperial examinations.
They had all arrived very early.
The streets were filled with people.
Zhang Ronghua said,” I wish you all good luck in advance!”
Everyone was excited, and they all thanked Lord Marquis for his blessings.
After entering the courtyard, he walked towards the backyard.
It was called a courtyard, but it took up a huge area and formed a large area.
They arrived at the lobby.
The invigilators had all arrived.
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed.” Greetings, Lord Marquis!”
Zhang Ronghua sat in the main seat, Tie Changlin sat on the upper left seat, and Ding Yi sat on the upper right seat.
He glanced around and saw that apart from the enemy faction, there were also people from the neutral faction, Grand Secretary Cui, Grand Secretary Zeng, and Grand Secretary Wei.
There were dozens of them in total.
He gestured for them to sit down.
Each of them sat with only a third of their buttocks, their backs very straight, their expressions serious, not daring to breathe loudly, afraid of angering Lord Marquis.
The reverence in their hearts had never been like this before.
The person in front of him was a ruthless person.
He had stirred up the political situation with his own strength and even dared to order the four departments to surround and kill the Tycoon.
He did not dare to be careless.
” I only have one request,” Zhang Ronghua said in a deep voice.” Make sure that this exam is fair and just.
You don’t have to worry about anything else.
You will receive a lot of credit.
Whoever receives benefits in advance, helps cheat, or turns a blind eye to it should know the consequences!”
“I wouldn’t dare!” Everyone said.
Before this, many people had used their connections to find them and prepared generous gifts.
They were so generous that they could not refuse.
If it were any other examiner, they would have agreed long ago.
This time, they were honest and endured their heartache as they retreated.
They were doing their business.
No matter how good the silver was, it was useless to spend it with his life.
The Crown Prince would not come, but would only be there in name.
After the exam was over, the article would be submitted to him for his decision, and then it would be submitted to the Emperor for approval before the results could be published.
Three days later.
The top 200 on the list would enter the Purple Extreme Hall and participate in the court examinations.
The Xia Emperor would personally set the questions and select the top scholar, second scholar, and Tanhua, as well as the top three scholars.
Fifteen minutes later.
Ding Yi hurried over and nodded his head, indicating that everything had been arranged.
Murong An and the others were already in position.
Another fifteen minutes passed.
Looking at the sky outside, it was time.
“Let the candidates enter,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
Ding Yi passed down the order, and Zheng Fugui allowed them to pass.
The huge front yard was filled with soldiers from the Fifth Division of City Defense.
Everyone’s examination venue had been arranged long ago, and there were special instructions.
They did not have to worry about going the wrong way or getting lost.
After a while.
Zheng Fugui entered the hall and reported,” Reporting to Lord Marquis, all the examinees have entered the hall.
There are no absentees.
We have also inspected them.
There are no favoritism.”
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand, signaling for him to leave.
He announced the exam questions.” This time, the main topic of the exam is to destroy the Shang Dynasty.
It will last for a day.
The exam papers will be collected an hour before the deadline!”
“Yes, sir!” Everyone replied and rushed to their respective examination halls.
Zhang Ronghua did not move.
He sat on the chair and drank tea.
He waited patiently, but he did not waste any time.
He looked at the royal inheritance in his mind.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed, and there was only fifteen minutes left to hand in the paper.
Examination venue number one.
Zhao Wenyuan looked at the exam paper on the table.
For those with real talent, it was not difficult to destroy the Shang Dynasty.
However, for those who were stubborn and stupid, it was very difficult.
With his own ability, he was very confident that even if he could not win the first meeting, he could still rank in the top ten.
Thinking about Zhu Bo’s name, he felt worse than eating dog shit!
He wanted to reject her, but he didn’t have the courage.
He was from the side branch of the Zhao family in Jinzhou.
The night before he left for the capital, the family head, Zhao Jinlin, found him and gave him two choices.
The first was to write the other party’s name on the day of the exam, and that person would write his own name on his exam paper to complete the swap.
As compensation, he would get a prosperous and luxurious courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
Next year, he would take the imperial examination, and when the Zhao family had a good position in high school, they would make a marriage.
The bride would come from a prestigious family and a prominent family background.
