After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 354 Being read out in public

Ji Heng took off the glasses hanging on his chest, wiped the lenses slowly, and then put them on the bridge of his nose.

This old man has read too much and made himself nearsighted.

Until glass was invented, he could only endure it.

Because seeing things in the distance is blurred, there is no cure.

Until Lin Xi had someone make him a pair of glasses, he could see the world clearly again.

From then on, he never forgot to wear his glasses wherever he went. He even regarded them as a precious jewelry and hung them on his chest, vaguely showing off.

He ignored the clamoring people, pushed through the crowd and walked to the foot of the yellow list, raised his head, and adjusted his glasses.

Seeing his name clearly on the yellow list, he nodded with satisfaction.

He said that with his talent and learning, it was impossible to fail.

But why is he only ranked third?Who are the top two?
Xiling?Wu Hongxue?

That's fine.

Although one of them teaches biology and the other teaches mechanics, when it comes to historical skills, even I feel ashamed.

They lined up ahead of him, and he was convinced.

He glanced at the rankings of the others and saw that all seven people from Lingxiao Academy were on the list, and he felt relieved.

He returned to the team with a proud look on his face.

Lin Xi divided the flowers she picked when she came here, one for each person.

"Put it on and be happy."

She took the lead in putting flowers on her head.

Ji Heng muttered: "I'm so old, how can I wear flowers?"

His mouth was disgusted, but his body was honest, and he put the bright red flower on his bun.

The old face was radiant.

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing.

Cui Min and Qisheng Taoist Master also followed the same example. The three of them were like old naughty boys.

Lin Wushang couldn't bear to look away and turned his face away. He was too embarrassed to put the flower on his head, but he didn't want to let down Lin Xi's kindness, so he thought of a compromise and put it on his chest.

He looks like a groom.

Wu Hongxue held the flower between her fingertips.

He was wearing a black brocade robe today, and his temperament was as cold and indifferent as the snowy mountains, making the black clothes look deserted.

Standing erect, holding flowers on her fingertips, and lowering her eyes for a moment, she really looked like a god in the clouds looking down at the world.

Seeing that people from Lingxiao Academy still had the heart to wear hairpins there to celebrate, chat and laugh, those who failed the exam became furious.

Zhang Mao, who was also defeated in the crowd, took the opportunity to get angry.

"A bunch of shameless people! Let's bring them before the emperor to ask for an explanation!"

The crowd was incited by him and came in waves.

It's a pity that Lin Xi and the others can't get close to this ragtag group of people?

Lin Xi kicked the leader away.

This man was the one who had previously despised her for stretching unseemly, and had a lot of pockmarks on his face.

The pockmarked man hit Zhang Mao who was hiding behind the crowd.

The two of them were face to face, mouth to mouth, teeth to teeth.

The blood and saliva from the pockmarked man's mouth flowed into Zhang Mao's mouth.

Zhang Mao was so painful that stars were popping up in front of his eyes. At first, he didn't realize what was flowing into his mouth, so he subconsciously licked it.

When he came to his senses, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he felt extremely cold.He felt like he was being electrocuted and wanted to push the person on top of him down.

The pockmarked man was not much better than him, as if he had been burned and wanted to get away quickly from the old man with a foul mouth beneath him.

However, for some reason, the two of them clearly wanted to stay away from each other, but their hands and feet were out of control and kept hitting each other.

It looked like some kind of discordant activity was going on.

The scene was really explosive, and everyone was stunned, and the Tianling Gai was about to fly.

Even the original purpose was forgotten.

Lin Dayou heard that there was a commotion here and hurried over, "Stop! How can we tolerate you in front of Wenhua Hall-"

Seeing that scene, the word "unbridled" stuck in my throat.

Finally, Mazinan and Zhang Mao separated successfully.

After all, the pockmarked man was young, and his face had not yet been developed to be that thick. After experiencing such a social death scene, how could he still have the courage to stay?

He covered his face with red face and ran away.

As for Zhang Mao, he was worthy of being a veteran in the officialdom. He faced the colorful gazes of everyone, straightened his messy clothes and hair with an expressionless face, and spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.

Then he walked heroically to the steps of the Wenhua Hall with eight-character steps and shouted: "Your Majesty, the people from Lingxiao Academy cheated! Please give me an explanation, Your Majesty!"

The others looked at each other, then stepped forward and knelt down.

They shouted in unison: "Please give me an explanation from the emperor!"

These people said "please", but their posture was clearly relying on the strength of their numbers to force the emperor.

"You said people from Lingxiao Academy cheated, where is the evidence?"

The emperor stood in front of the Wenhua Palace with his hands behind his hands, staring down at the group of people below with a very unhappy expression.

He had been busy grading test papers for the past two days, and he had stayed up for two nights in a row, severely lacking sleep.

Thinking that the results were finally out today, he could catch up on his sleep with peace of mind.

As a result, not long after he lay down, Jiang Hai called him out, saying that those who failed were making noise and making trouble in front of the Wenhua Hall, and accused Xiling and others of cheating without any basis.

Isn't this nonsense.

He, the emperor, personally invigilated the exam and followed the entire process. How could he allow others to cheat?
These people are either stupid or bad, so no wonder they failed.

Zhang Mao: "Your Majesty, there are 290 people taking the exam this time, including many great Confucian scholars from aristocratic families, as well as young talents like Mr. Wushuang of the Cui family.

"They come from a well-educated family. They have read poetry and books since they were young. They are knowledgeable and have been studying for decades. How can they still be inferior to a woman from Xiling?
"That's all. Outside of Xiling, all seven people from Lingxiao Academy are ranked in the top ten on the yellow list. Even a young man like Lin Wushang is ranked sixth. Who would believe them if they said they didn't cheat!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "So, you have no evidence that Xiling and others cheated, but you just concluded that they cheated based on your own conjecture?
"According to what you said, men from well-established families and well-educated families should be ranked first, so why do I need to conduct a selection? Just rank those who come from well-known families in order of age."

Zhang Mao did think so in his heart, but he hurriedly denied it: "Your Majesty, this is not what I mean -"

The emperor called out: "Jiang Hai, read Xiling's article to them, so that they know how big the gap is between you and Xiling."

Jiang Hai responded: "Yes."

He picked up the top test paper from the tray held by the waiter and read it in front of everyone.

Lin Xi scratched her face, Emma, ​​she felt embarrassed to have her essay read out in public.

But when she saw those people kneeling and listening to her composition, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, she was really pleased.

Lin Xi was not the only one to receive such treatment, everyone in the top ten also enjoyed it.

After reading the ten excellent essays, Zhang Mao and others were like defeated roosters and eggplants beaten by frost. They were all so ashamed that they could not lift their heads.

Of course, there are still some people who are dissatisfied, but they just can't show it.

The emperor also ordered the top ten articles to be posted on the wall for everyone to admire.

What was posted was a transcript. The original work was collected by the emperor, so he was reluctant to show it to others.
