Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 56: Seventeen-year-old Juren
In the secret room of the Supervisory Council, skinny fingers slowly opened a corner, and Chen Pingping, who had not slept all night, looked out the window.

"He didn't go up."

Shadow Zun Chong replied: "The courtyard is moving very quickly. The wooden platform has been set up and they are just waiting for someone."

"Your Majesty, it is a good plan to re-examine the policy questions in front of the whole world." Chen Pingping said with a smile.

Shadow couldn't believe it and asked, "Can he do that?"

Chen Pingping retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Young lady's son has a good teacher, how could he not be able to do it."

……

The gates of the Ministry of Rites and Imperial Examination Hall opened, and officials from the Censorate poured out to both sides of the road.

The Overwatch Council has always been in charge of major affairs inside and outside the court, so the people rarely deal with it. However, even so, no one is unaware of the Overwatch Council's evil reputation that has spread throughout Kyoto.

The crowd dispersed voluntarily, and the officials of the Supervisory Council effortlessly cleared a wide passage leading to the newly built wooden platform.

After a quarter of an hour of calm, the seventeen-year-old scholar who was respected by the students in the academy, but now scolded by students all over the world as the culprit of cheating in the spring examination, walked out of the examination hall calmly and prepared to start his fourth examination of the spring examination.

"What is he going to do? How did he get up there?"

A series of questions filled the minds of students and common people on the whole street. They could not understand all these actions, and the court had no intention of explaining them. The officials of the Supervisory Council ignored the reckless discussions.

At the end of Gongyuan Street, there was such a commotion that the common people looked and saw a team of imperial guards galloping over. The surging crowd inevitably opened up a wide road again.

The Imperial Guards are directly under the emperor's jurisdiction and are his majesty's army. What they convey naturally are his majesty's orders. The students will understand them immediately, and the results of cheating in the Spring Examination will be revealed immediately.

At this time, on the wooden platform, officials from the Supervisory Office slowly brought up a table and a stool and prepared writing materials.

The imperial guards came to the wooden stage and guarded the perimeter. The eunuch Hou from the palace slowly walked onto the stage holding a test paper.

He looked around and smiled, "I am here to deliver the papers on behalf of His Majesty. Student, please take a seat when you are ready."

The shrill voice reached the ears of the students closest to the wooden platform. The one with eye problems quickly came to his senses: "You are going to prove yourself in front of all the students in the world."

There were more and more voices of agreement, and the discussion became louder and louder, like a tide.

The students watching had different expressions; such an action was somewhat unbelievable to them.

There is no more convincing way to prove whether cheating has occurred than to retake an exam paper, and do it in front of everyone.

The students, who already had only a vague understanding of Lin Ruo's cheating case, now calmed down and analyzed the reasons.

Everything is not difficult to understand. The court believes that the student was wronged, but the incident has already happened and an explanation must be given to the students of the world, so this self-evidence was prepared so that the students can witness it with their own eyes and make their own judgment.

The crowd suddenly fell into a strange silence.

After a while, a student couldn't help but shout, "Can I take a look at the test questions?"

As soon as the words fell, it was like an explosion, causing many responses. Since it was a self-certification for the students to see, they were qualified to understand the test questions, and such self-certification was more convincing.

After hearing this, Hou Gongan comforted everyone and said, "Of course you can. Not only can you read the test questions, but you can also check the answers of the students on the stage afterwards."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere quickly cooled down, and all the students stopped talking and turned their eyes to the stage. Lin Ruo sat in his seat, and the official stepped back after finishing grinding for him. Eunuch Hou walked forward and carefully spread out the test paper.

"Mr. Lin, you only have four hours. This is a test question personally set by His Majesty. I don't want to wait too long."

Under the gaze of thousands of people, it was too harsh to complete a questionnaire in four hours.

Even Eunuch Hou, who met him for the first time, couldn't help but secretly worry for this student named Lin.

But after looking at it for a moment, Eunuch Hou found that he had taken it for granted, because the student in front of him did not show any strange emotions on his face. He calmly accepted this unfair result.

Eunuch Hou smiled slightly, quietly stepped aside, and told his men to find a secluded corner to distribute the test questions.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Ruo took a deep breath and finally started writing.

Almost at the same time, the unusual noises around the stage suddenly decreased, and every student taking the Spring Examination was deliberately restraining their noise.

"Starting a business with force, maintaining it with culture, why?" On Lin Ruo's test paper, there was only a short cross...

"What does this mean?"

In an inn closest to the wooden platform, dozens of students gathered together to discuss the test questions.

"The world has just been settled, and Your Majesty is testing our way of governing the country." A seated student thought.

As soon as he finished speaking, a student refuted his point of view, saying, "Your Majesty is seeking from us measures for co-governance both internally and externally, to preserve military conquests and to govern the country with culture."

"The so-called combination of civil and military governance is the main point that Your Majesty wants to examine."

The current Emperor of Qing is ambitious and will not rest on his laurels just because of a temporary victory. The ultimate solution is how to stabilize the country's administration during the turmoil of war.

The students each had their own thoughts, and after coming up with a common idea, they all calmed down and began to index the most feasible answers.

At this moment, a student came running from outside the inn and said, "I have already written half a page."

The students looked at each other in surprise, then looked at the time again. Only half an hour had passed...

They had just come up with a direction and were still thinking about the draft, but the people on the stage had already written half a page.

Some students rushed to the window in disbelief, watching the person on the stage writing with all his might, as if his thoughts were flowing like a spring that would never run dry.

I was deflated in an instant.

A seventeen-year-old juren, this information was revealed out of nowhere to many students...it was already shocking.
