Chapter 1016: Policy presentation to the public
At a quarter past three o'clock, it was still dark.

On the outer wall where the Ministry of Rites posted the announcements, the city guards neatly arranged and hung the rolls of embroidered policies one by one.

On the far left, there is a notice with larger handwriting, which probably means:
The scientific examination is to select pillars for the court. It is related to the foundation of the country and does not tolerate any fraud. Hearing that some students questioned the unfairness of the palace examination, His Majesty was honest and magnanimous. He summoned a hundred embroiderers to work day and night to embroider all the strategies and strategies for the palace examination according to the handwriting and content for the public to judge.

At daybreak, the students who heard the news and the common people who joined in the fun came in large numbers. The three floors inside and outside were surrounded by water. If it weren't for the city guards with swords guarding the wall, there would have been a riot.

Lin Jinan's policy is right next to the notice. Students and ordinary people will naturally be the first to see it after reading the notice. With Zhuyu in front, no matter how you look at the others, they seem almost boring.

Lin Jinan followed King Xiang to provide disaster relief last year, but ordinary students and ordinary people did not know about it.

In the past two days, I have heard rumors in private: During the disaster relief period, Lin Jinan ate and lived with the victims incognito, and even shared his own food with the hungry victims.

When they heard it at the time, many people thought that the news was released by the Lin family to restore their reputation, and they scoffed at it.

Now that I saw Lin Jin'an's policy statement, I realized that if I hadn't experienced it myself, how could I have written such a pragmatic policy statement that was based on what the people wanted, and I believed most of it immediately.

The young general who led the city defense army was named Yuan Chang. Many years ago, when Lin Jinyan and her family were giving porridge to provide disaster relief at the gate of the city, he was the one who followed and protected them.

Later, Lin Jinyan built Zhuangzi to resettle the victims and asked Master to teach the victims how to read. Yuan Chang also knew about it. Therefore, I have long admired the Gu Lin family.

In the past few days, rumors that were detrimental to the Lin family were rampant in Tai'an City. He tried to stop them but to no avail. When he was worried, the city guard received the emperor's order. After he heard about it, he begged the Golden Guard to take over the errand.

At this moment, seeing that most of the students had finished reading the policy papers one by one, Yuan Chang stepped forward and stood in the middle with a cold face, holding the handle of the knife, looking at the crowd with a murderous aura, and raised his hand to signal the crowd to silence, A confident opening:
"Recently, rumors have been spreading in the capital, even implicating His Majesty. General Jin noticed something was wrong, and asked us to conduct a careful secret investigation. We found that Mobei Xiaozuo was instigating it, intending to slander Taifu Lin, who has many disciples, by using the pretext of falsifying the palace examination. , to stir up dissatisfaction among students all over the world against His Majesty, so as to shock the literary world of Tianchu and promote civil strife in Tianchu.”

"Your Majesty said that the scientific examination is related to the country's foundation, and only talent is considered, regardless of family background. The reason why the strategy is revealed to the public today is, firstly, to secretly investigate the detailed work, and secondly, to wait for the embroiderer to rush to work. The detailed work was captured last night and is currently being scrutinized. For those involved, His Majesty has made it clear that anyone who works with Mobei Xi to treason against our Tianchu will not be tolerated!"
-
In the cloth shop not far away, Gu Ruizhou, Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan were sitting in the elegant room on the second floor, sipping tea and watching the excitement through the half-open window.

Lin Jinan: "This person is quite clever. He always starts with "Your Majesty" and picks up all the details in the Lin Mansion. He makes things clear in just a few words, making people afraid to say anything."

Gu Ruizhou: "His name is Yuan Chang. In the 19th year of Sheng'an, you gave porridge to the victims. He has been following you to protect you. He highly respects the Gu and Lin families. Otherwise, General Jin Wei would not send this mission." give him."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "It seems that my eldest cousin owes General Jin another favor."
