“Your Majesty, please peruse these and then pass the Chen’s tone was at ease and brimmed with confidence
Eastern Lu took the scrolls and glanced a few times over them He discovered that these answer scrolls were indeed different froht deeply for a moment and then passed them onto the four subject officials
“Four ministers, read them well This is an important matter and you absolutely cannot be numb or careless” Eastern Lu ree of their own respective subjects suddenly felt a mountain of pressure on thedoaze that held blatant warning and threats
They were, after all, in the Aurunified ical pressure that Du Ruhai brought them
The four people tried quite hard to cal
At first, the four’s expression were only vaguely surprised as they thought that this answer scroll was indeed completely different from the one previous
But when they read the creative portion in the second half, the expressions of the four subject officials becarave They would occasionally reveal an expression deep in thought and then s They would follow that up with an expression of running into a difficult problehtenment would spread across their faces
Many were extre the rich play of expressions across the four faces Was the answer scroll that complicated to make this four read it with such ridiculous expressions?
The four finally rolled up the scrolls after a long while, despite wishi+ng to continue
“Well?” Eastern Lu asked personally
“In response to Your Majesty, if ere to grade these scrolls, ould have surely awarded full points”
“Absolutely, indeed And, the creative portion displayed such a depth in theory, unique opinion, and vast experience that even your humble subject feels quite humbled and doesn’t quite rees This answer scroll bri a high mountain”
“Your humble subject only has one sentence to say This scroll is the first that your humble subject has seen in his life, it is unprecedented!”
The evaluations were one higher than the other
Anyone could see that the officials in charge of the four subjects weren’t talking off the cuff The fact that these answer scrolls contained est could be seen fro from their satisfied expressions, it was most likely true that the contents within the scroll were enough to open their eyes, and imparted no s Chen htly “My ministers, we are a bit confused How can the two answer scrolls be so drastically different with regards to the same test subjects One of them brims with talent and has subdued the subject’s officials, while the other is full of unreadable rubbish and does not pass”
“Your Majesty, a night has passed since that exa Han household could have easily hired a crew of experts to craft a satisfactory answer scroll through the course of a night Such a matter would be so easy”
It was true that ht
Du Ruhai also started cla the Your subject would like to say sohout the capital for being a good-for-nothing as well as ignorant and incompetent Even the peddlers and the porters would be hard pressed to believe that he had created answer scrolls that had subdued exaeous towards Jiang Chen
When everyone’s gazes had once again focused on Jiang Chen, he gave a hearty laugh and took a proud step forward “It is reasonable for you all to think that I’ve cheated given it’s the same exam topic Then if it would please the exa Chen is willing to i fro fro Chen, do you think this is your Jiang Han reat hall! Once had already been outrageous enough, how could you be per had already been ain How could your atrocious behavior be perhed heartily and curbed the officials and courtiers itching to take action “In this great hall, we sit and pontificate It’s a wonderful thing that our Eastern Kingdoe This should be co Chen’s wishes Unfortunately, this places additional strain on the four subjects’ officials and causes them to expend more effort”
The four subjects’ officials didn’t really care, they had already let loose Since there was an opportunity to express the, this wasn’t too bad either
Besides, they were truly curious Had Jiang Chen truly created the four answer scrolls? If that was the case, they too wished to test Jiang Chen and see what they ain
The four main subjects of “The Articles of Martial Arts”, “The Articles of Spirit Medicine”, “The Papers of Power and Influence”, and “The Papers of Military Strategy”
Of those, “The Papers of Power and Influence”, and “The Papers of Military Strategy” were actually acco topics There wasn’t hted Therefore, these two subjects were tested first
The two exaht briefly and began to respond eloquently
Clear thinking, innovative perspectives, an aspirational viewpoint, an unbound real Chen had answered all four questions, not only did the two examiners, but also some of the courtiers and officials, break out in applause
