Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 525
His face was blue, and even my concubine was worried that he would be angry and hurt himself. Mr. Su knew Mrs. Su, and this was a sign of getting angry. He glanced at the answer sheet, and a look of shock appeared on his face. He pointed at the answer sheet and said , "This, this is not...."

Mrs. Su raised his hand, pressed Mr. Su's hand down, and said, "Let him finish writing."

The scholar wrote very quickly, he filled a page in a quarter of an hour, and then put down the pen.

Grandpa Su picked up his answer sheet and handed it to Grandpa Su for review.

Old Master Su quickly watched from the beginning to the end, and watched it again, his face was so cold that frost could condense on his face.

This is the answer sheet that made him full of praise.

No, it is even more shocking and talented than that answer sheet, which makes people applaud.

Mrs. Su asked, "Has there been some revisions to this answer sheet?"

The scholar said, "In the examination room, I was nervous about answering the questions and didn't think carefully. When I left the examination room, I regretted it in my heart and reflected on it for a few days. This is the revised answer sheet."

Ming concubine said, "Would you like to write a copy of the original?"

Grandpa Su waved his hand, "No need."

This answer sheet is better, there is no need to write another one.

"You really failed the ranking?" Old Master Su asked seriously.

The scholar laughed, "I didn't fail the exam. I should be writing a letter home to announce the good news, instead of getting drunk. I don't know how I got here."

Ming concubine looked at Mrs. Su and said, "Is there really a problem?"

"It's not that there is a problem, but there is a big problem," Old Master Su said in a cold voice.

In the examination room where he was proctoring, someone actually stole the examination papers, but the truly educated people failed the examination. How could Mrs. Su tolerate such a stain?
Thinking of tomorrow's imperial examination and hand-picking the top three, Mrs. Su couldn't sit still.

He wanted to bring the examination papers and the scholar into the palace, Ming concubine said, "Grandfather, calm down first, you can't just bring a scholar into the palace."

Old Master Su was completely confused, not everyone can lead someone into the palace.

Even if he enters the palace right now, the emperor may not even see him.

Ming Yu said, "Isn't there still some unselected exam questions prepared? Let him answer another paper. Grandfather brought two papers to the palace to meet the emperor. It should be enough for the emperor to summon him to the palace."

Old Master Su asked a question and gave the scholar half an hour to answer the paper.

The scholar is full of economics and knowledge, and he finished writing in less than half an hour.

Old Mrs. Su brought two answer sheets into the palace, it was inevitable that the emperor would summon him, so the scholar followed.

Ming concubine was going back to the palace, and accompanied them all the way, and went back after they entered the palace, there was no detour.

It wasn't in the early dynasty that most ministers were not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, and only a very small number of ministers could come in and out at will. Mrs. Su was in charge of the Guozijian, a place where nothing serious happened.

The emperor was angry about the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he did not see Mrs. Su.

The father-in-law came out and said, "If the emperor wants Mr. Su to do something, I will report it tomorrow morning."

Ming concubine watched from a distance, and seeing that Mrs. Su didn't go in directly, she knew that the emperor didn't see him.

She got down from the carriage, stepped forward, looked at the messenger, and said, "Go and report to the emperor, just say that I have something to see."

King Zhennan and Marquis Dingbei are the most trusted people of the emperor.

She is the daughter of Marquis of the North, the concubine of Prince Zhennan, and she has saved the emperor, so the emperor should see her, right?
Ming concubine thought so, and the father-in-law laughed, "The imperial concubine is joking with the slaves. If you want to enter the palace, you don't need to pass it on. You just go in. It's just that whether the emperor sees you or not depends on the emperor's mood."

It is possible to enter, but to put it bluntly, it is actually waiting for the emperor to call in another place.

In the civil and military dynasties, only Zhennan Wang and Dingbeihou were able to directly enter the imperial study, and only the Queen Mother was in the harem.

Concubine Ming looked at Old Master Su and said, "Grandfather, why don't I go to the palace to meet the emperor?"

Old Mrs. Su nodded and handed the two answer sheets to her.

Ming concubine took two answer sheets and followed her father-in-law to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, the little eunuch came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine of Prince Zhennan is asking to see you."

The emperor frowned severely.

Just now, Mrs. Su begged to see him, but he didn't see him, so why did she come instead?

"Let her in," said the emperor.

Ming concubine walked in, blessed the emperor to greet the emperor, the emperor said, "Is there something urgent for you?"

Ming concubine said, "Ming concubine is sending two answer sheets for my grandfather to show to the emperor."

"Answer?" The emperor frowned slightly, "Qiu Wei is over, why did you still send the answer sheet? Master Su loves talents, so he can't open such a back door."

Ming concubine looked at the emperor with a dark face and said, "It doesn't count as going through the back door, it can barely be counted as climbing through the window."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched fiercely, and Eunuch Deshun laughed out loud. The emperor glanced at him, Eunuch Deshun held back his shoulders, and almost dislocated his shoulder.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and said, "I want to see how I climbed the window."

Ming concubine sent the answer sheet.

The emperor took the answer sheet, and it seemed that the question was wrong, but because the handwriting was good, the emperor still looked down, and after a few glances, his eyes showed appreciation.

After finishing one answer sheet, the emperor looked at the next one, glanced at it twice, his brows twisted into twists, "This answer sheet..."

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty smiled, "These two answers were written by a scholar who failed the exam. Right now, he is waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for the emperor's summons with his grandfather."

The emperor's face darkened, and he said, "Announce them into the palace!"

Eunuch Deshun hurried out to announce the decree.

Concubine Ming didn't leave, and soon old Mrs. Su and the scholar entered the imperial study.

Seeing the emperor, the scholar knelt on the ground, the emperor looked at his bandaged left arm hanging around his neck, and frowned, "What's wrong?"

The scholar didn't speak, Ming concubine said with a sneer, "I was hit by my carriage."

Although the one in the carriage was her maid, the carriage was indeed hers.

The emperor raised his forehead, and he said how she cared about the imperial examination, it turned out that she bumped into someone.

Ming concubine said, "Your Majesty might as well ask him another question to test him."

The emperor asked a question, and the scholar answered it on the spot.

After reading the answer sheet, the emperor admired the scholar's talent and learning very much, and let him fail the imperial examination because of a lot of problems.

The emperor asked Mrs. Su, "Why did Qiu Wei make such a big mistake this time?"

Old Master Su shook his head, "I don't know, I'm in charge of proctoring and reviewing the examination papers. This case file is copied uniformly, and I don't know whose paper it is."

"Could it be a mistake?" Ming asked.

"It's absolutely impossible," Old Master Su was sure.

Ming Yu just asked casually. She knew that in ancient imperial examinations, the examiners were afraid that the examiners would recognize the students' handwriting.

Since it is a copy, mistakes are inevitable, but the possibility of this is very small.

Because Yuelu Academy had a lot of students taking the exam, Mr. Su was the head of Yuelu Academy, Mr. Su avoided taboo, even the invigilator did not move around, just sat there and watched.

It is certain that the scholar's test paper was changed, but now I am not sure if other people have cheated, and who is so bold as to secretly change the test paper, and how did the scholar change so coincidentally?
