Discipline traitor husband

Chapter 178
After finishing speaking, the Prime Minister lowered his hand, gently twisted the thin paper with his fingers, and stuffed it into his cuff.

After returning to the prime minister's mansion, he immediately summoned someone to announce this time the examiner and cabinet bachelor, and asked about the top three.

The cabinet bachelor was so frightened that his legs trembled. Prime Minister Chu had been in power for many years and never cared about the scientific research, but this year seemed... a little different.

"My lord, the second place is the son of the servant of the household department, Tanhua is the son of the minister of the Ministry of rites, and the champion is..."

Before the cabinet scholar finished speaking, the prime minister raised his gaze from the slip in his hand, "Fu Shan, have you heard of this person?"

"Fu, Fushan..." The cabinet bachelor's heart was pounding, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, "Yes, he is a candidate for this year's spring exam."

"It seems that you have heard of it." The Prime Minister rubbed his thumb lightly at the knuckles of his fingers, narrowing his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "Have you read his strategy?"

"...Yes." The cabinet scholar dared not hide anything.

"How is it written?" The words were flat, making it hard to find any clues.

The cabinet scholar was thinking about it, but he didn't dare to procrastinate, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The old minister is not talented, and it is difficult to judge whether his writing is good or bad."

"Since it's impossible to judge, why do you have to decide not to take the exam again within five years?" The voice raised slightly.

"Please forgive me, my lord!" The 50-year-old cabinet scholar fell to his knees, and his body and head fell to the ground.

The prime minister glanced coldly at the body on the ground that was like sifting chaff, but he showed no pity, nor did he intend to let him get up.

After a while, a guard strode in, holding a tethered test paper, and presented it to the secretive prime minister in front of him.

The prime minister spread out the test paper, and when he saw the first word, his body was shocked.

……

Bu Youran sat in the guest room and sighed for a whole day. Nearly half of the examinees outside had already returned home, preparing to make a comeback in three years and take the next imperial examination.

Liu Ming stood at the door for a long time.

At this time, the shop waiter came over and asked Liu Ming, "You two guests, are you planning to check out?"

Liu Ming glanced coldly at the waiter in the shop, so that he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But the clerk in the store was afraid that some candidates would leave without paying the bill in a fit of anger because they failed the exam, so they stood by the side helplessly, neither entering nor withdrawing.

While hesitating, a candidate came running from the lobby on the first floor, and he shouted, "The rankings are released again, go and see, the rankings are released again..."

Liu Ming didn't wait to step leisurely, he leaned forward leaning on the railing and asked the person downstairs, "What do you mean the ranking is released again? Could it be that the previous ones don't count?"

"A few people have been added." The man explained, "Go and have a look."

Just as Liu Ming was about to step forward, Bu Youran grabbed him, "What else are you going to see? I've been banned from the exam, how can I still appear on the list?"

Liu Ming frowned, "What if?"

Bu Youran pursed her lips, seeing his expectant face, as if he was the one taking the exam, she couldn't help but smile lightly, "Let's go, go and have a look, it's time to walk around and join in the fun."

The two came to the gate of the imperial city where the rankings were released. The candidates who had already left were standing here with their burdens on their backs, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Bu Youran is short, standing outside and jumping and jumping, but only saw the word 'bang', she looked at Liu Ming, she wanted him to squeeze in and have a look, but it was impossible to notice the crowd .

In desperation, he simply dragged Liu Ming to sit in the teahouse opposite to where the list was released.

The teahouse covers an area of ​​less than [-] square meters, with two floors above and below. It seems a little old, and it is inferior to "Wenxiang Teahouse" in terms of passenger flow and decoration.
