Chapter 176 (1/2)
”There is a way but it only allows you to examine one person's script. Would you be willing?” Chi Guyan asked.
”Of course I will! I'm only afraid that…”
”Afraid that you can't tell the difference between right and wrong?”
”Sister Yan, you are teasing me again…”
”Then don't you just need someone to look at it for you?”
”Who?”
”I believe… His Majesty should be interested in that shameless fellow's script.”
”Father?!” Ping Yang was briefly stunned. After that, her gla.s.sy eyes immediately s.h.i.+mmer, ”I understand now. Sister Yan wants me to find my father. If Father gained some interest in that fellow's script, he would definitely order the people at the Imperial Academy to send it over?”
”Ping Yang is indeed smart. Enlightened with only a little guidance.”
”Hahaha… Naturally. I shall go find my father now!” After finis.h.i.+ng the sentence, Ping Yang disappeared in a blink of an eye, skipping and hopping as she went out of the courtyard.
Chi Guyan looked on at Ping Yang's fading figure, then turned towards the direction of the palace, ”If I'm not wrong, Your Majesty also needed a reason to have a look at Fang Zhengzhi's script right?”
Inside the palace, within the study room.
The Sacred Lord, Lin Mubai, dawned his Golden Dragon Robe and sat in his Dragon Throne. In his hands, he was flipping through an academic memorial but his eyes were looking out the window.
At this moment, the doors were pushed opened by someone from the outside.
Such an impudent action was worthy of a beheading.
Instead, the Sacred Lord's eyes suddenly lit up.
”Only Chi Guyan knows the way to my heart!”
The Sacred Lord did not even need to turn his head to know that it was definitely Ping Yang who was approaching. Only she could barge into the room with such gall.
”Ping Yang, you came? Come sit beside me,” the Sacred Lord showed an amiable smile.
”Father!” Ping Yang lightly skipped to the side of Lin Mubai.
”What brings you to me?”
”Did Father heard of the incredible rumor? It is currently making waves everywhere in the capital.”
”Oh? What could cause such a big uproar? Even my Ping Yang was disturbed?”
”I wasn't really disturbed by it. I'm just curious. I've heard that Fajg Zhengzhi actually finished all six sets of the examination script. I was thinking...he definitely deceiving us!”
”Oh really?” The Sacred Lord gave a small smile and resumed reading the academic memorial within his hands.
”Is Father not curious to have a look at what kind of cheap method that the sc.u.m, who was merely pining for fame, used?” Ping Yang saw that the Sacred Lord seemed to be disinterested. In the instant, she was anxious.
”The conducting structure for the Theory Examinations of the Imperial Examinations was headed by Han Changfeng as the Chief Examiner. Even I found find it hard to interfere with this,” the Sacred Lord seemed to be out on the spot by Ping Yang.
”What is a mere Han Changfeng? I shall go the Imperial Academy now and order him to obediently hand over Fang Zhengzhi's script to us. He dares to defy my orders? Hmph!” After her outburst, she jumped up.
”This...this is not very nice?” The Sacred Lord was about to stop her but Ping Yang did not even bother with him and was already gone with the wind.
”She really does come and go like the wind. This personality definitely took after her mother…”
Within Yan Capital, low and high ranking officials were holding academic conferences within their residences.
Among them, the conference at the Left Prime Minister's Residence was the most respected and grand. Countless of the Imperial Examinations candidates entered its halls, hoping to be guided towards enlightenment by the Left Prime Minister.
The Left Prime Minister, Yu Yiping, personally welcomed them into the main courtyard, where he sat at the head of the conference. His smile perpetually painted with a slight smile while he discussed with the candidates as he savored his tea.
After a thorough discussion of the questions, naturally, the candidates began to probe the Left Prime Minister on his predictions of which families would clinch the top three positions.
The prediction of the three positions had always been a hot topic in these conferences.
This indicated the official's judgment of the current political climate. The candidates also used this to gauge whether they had followed the right people or would they have to reconsider a place that could bring forth their potentials.
