"There is a way, but it can only be done by Fang Zhengzhi alone. Are you willing?" Chi Guyan asked casually.
"Of course I am willing! But I am afraid... "
"Afraid that you don't know right from wrong?"
"Sister Yan Er is laughing at me again..."
"Why don't you find someone who knows how to look at it for you?"
"Who?"
"I think... the Emperor would be interested in that shameless brat's script."
"Father?!" Ping Yang was slightly taken aback. Then, a ray of light flashed across her clear eyes, "I understand now. Sister Yan Er wants me to look for my father. If my father is interested in that guy's examination paper, he will definitely order the people from the Imperial Academy to send his examination paper over?"
"Ping Yang is indeed intelligent. You understand immediately."
"Hahaha … Of course, I'm going to find my father now!" After Ping Yang finished speaking, the displeasure on her face disappeared in an instant, and she skipped out of the courtyard.
Chi Guyan looked at Ping Yang's disappearing figure, then looked in the direction of the Imperial City, "I believe the Emperor needs a reason to look at Fang Zhengzhi's script?"
...
In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Lin Mubai, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sat on the Dragon Throne. He flipped through a document in his hands, but his eyes were looking out of the window.
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Such an unreasonable act was punishable by death.
However, Emperor Lin Mubai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Chi Guyan is the only one who knows me!"
Emperor Lin Mubai did not even need to turn his head to know that it was Ping Yang. Because, only she would have the guts to enter the Imperial Study Room.
"Ping Yang is here? Come and sit beside me. "Emperor Lin Mubai gave a friendly smile.
"Imperial Father!" Ping Yang leaped lightly to Lin Mubai's side.
"What is it?"
"Father, have you heard of this strange incident? The entire Flame Capital City is buzzing with excitement about it."
"Oh? What caused such a huge commotion? Even my Ping Yang was alerted? "
"There's nothing to be alarmed about. I'm just curious. I heard that Fang Zhengzhi actually completed all six sets of the Imperial Examinations. I'm guessing that … he must have guessed it!"
"Is that so?" Emperor Lin Mubai smiled. He continued to read the memorials in his hands.
"Don't tell me father doesn't want to see what kind of despicable methods this fame-seeking person has used to gain fame?" Ping Yang saw that Emperor Lin Mubai seemed to be a little careless and instantly became anxious.
"Han Changfeng will be the chief examiner for the Theory Examinations, even for me. It would not be good for me to intervene. "Emperor Lin Mubai seemed to be in a difficult position.
"What does a mere Han Changfeng amount to? I will go to the Imperial Academy now and make him hand over Fang Zhengzhi's script obediently. He dares to disobey me, hmph!" He leaped into the air.
"This … this isn't too good, is it?" Emperor Lin Mubai wanted to stop her, but Ping Yang ignored him and left the room in a flash.
"She really comes and goes like the wind. She takes after her mother …"
…
Within Yan Capital, the residences of all the courtiers were holding meetings.
Amongst them, the Left Prime Minister's conference was the most popular. Countless candidates who had finished the Imperial Examinations came to the Left Prime Minister's courtyard, hoping to explore the mysteries of solving the questions with the Left Prime Minister.
Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping personally came to the courtyard and sat at the head of the conference. He had a faint smile on his face the entire time. He sipped tea with the candidates and discussed the questions at the same time.
Once the discussion of the questions was much better, the examinees started to ask Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping to comment on who would be the top three in the Theory Examinations.
The top three in the conference had always been the highlight.
It represented the officials' assessment of the situation. The candidates would also use this to judge if they had followed the right person, or if they needed to choose a better tree to live in.
After all, the choice was always mutual.
Yu Yiping was naturally prepared for this. As such, he did not show any signs of panic.
"This Imperial Examinations has many talents. Nearby is Xing Qingsui from the Stabilisation Constabulary and Su Donglin from the Su Family. Further away is Nangong Mu from the Nangong Family. If I'm not wrong, the top three in the Theory Examinations will be among these three. "
"Compared to these three, Su Donglin is the most famous. He is also the most likely to top the Theory Examinations. However. I think that the Theory Examinations Champion will be Nangong Mu! "
After Yu Yiping finished speaking, he gently lifted the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.
"Nangong Mu? Isn't that Nangong Hao's brother? "
"Prime Minister Yu's words make sense. Nangong Hao is already the number one talent in the Great Xia Dynasty. Nangong Mu is Nangong Hao's biological brother. They are only two years apart. Two years ago, he topped the provincial examinations. However, because of Chi Guyan, he suddenly gave up on the Imperial Examinations. This time, he will definitely top the Imperial Examinations."
"However, this Imperial Examinations has Fang Zhengzhi... and he managed to answer all six scripts. What does Prime Minister Yu think about this?" One of the candidates could not help but ask.
When the other candidates heard this, they all had expressions of anticipation on their faces.
Yu Yiping seemed to have expected this question. The smile on his face did not diminish as he slowly placed the teacup in his hand down. Then, he spoke calmly.
"Even though Fang Zhengzhi has the Double Roll Champion in both the provincial and provincial examinations, the Imperial Examinations are not like the provincial examinations. Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, no one has been able to answer all the questions in four hours. I'm afraid that this person's actions will only serve to deceive the world."
"This old man has always believed that one should focus on something and not be greedy. The more he does, the more mistakes he will make. Even if he chooses the one with the highest score among the six exam papers, he will still inevitably fall into a disadvantage!"
"At most, he will only be on the Second-Class Roll!"
When Yu Yiping finished his sentence, his tone was extremely confident.
"I see!"
"Prime Minister Yu's words have really benefited us greatly!"
"Deceiving the world and fishing for fame will not last long. When the results are released in three days, I want to see if Fang Zhengzhi will have the face to continue participating in the combat examinations."
"When that time comes, he will become a joke, hahaha..."
When the examinees heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. This wasn't to say that they were short-sighted, but in their hearts, no one believed that Fang Zhengzhi could complete all six sections of the script and still maintain a high degree of accuracy.
Just as Left Prime Minister Yu Yiping had said.
It was better to focus than to be greedy. Could anyone break this rule?
How was that possible?!
...
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know that everyone in the Yan Capital was talking about him. Ever since he finished the theory examination, he and Yan Xiu rode side by side out of the Yan Capital …
Ten miles away from the capital, there was a quiet and elegant villa. In front of the villa was a huge lake. The lake was called "Ten Mile Red".
It came from the phrase "Ten Mile Red Shore".
The reason why it was called "Ten Mile Red Shore" was because there were red rocks by the side of the lake. Regardless of whether it was the sand by the lake or the rocks by the shore, they were all red like fire.
According to legend, this was the site of the most tragic battle in human history. The demon army fought against the Human Alliance at the Ten Mile Lake.
The entire Ten Mile Lake was dyed red. Even the rocks by the shore were dyed red.
Even after thousands of years, the redness did not fade.
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu did not come here to mourn the souls of their ancestors. They came here to admire the scenery. Of course, there was another reason. That was to use the lake as a mirror to solve the mystery of Yan Xiu's mirror image.
At this time, there were not many guests in the villa. Yan Xiu wanted to book all of the rooms, but Fang Zhengzhi stopped him. "Since there are not many people, it should be quiet enough."
...
While Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were enjoying their vacation by the lake, the Imperial Academy encountered a tragedy that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
Because, Ping Yang came.
With a fierce aura of a bandit, she kicked aside the guards at the entrance of the Imperial Academy. Alone, she ignored the hundreds of guards of the Imperial Academy.
With the speed of a tornado, she killed her way into the heavily-guarded Imperial Academy Script Examination Hall.
Nearly a hundred Monster Censors who were busy grading the test papers raised their heads in unison at this moment.
And Han Changfeng, who was sitting at a table far away, had a change of expression. The pen in his hand that had just been dipped in ink fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.
