Chapter 569: Disputes in the Gongyuan
"Now the top pick has been decided, and other outing deputy examiners will choose."
When the eunuch heard Ye Xuan's words, he bent down slightly with a smile on his face.
Ye Xuan knew what he meant, so he took out a few taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the eunuch.
"Enke has been in trouble today, and my father-in-law has been working very hard running around. I will use this little money to have some tea."
Ye Xuan is a smooth person, and his ability to gain a foothold in spirit is more due to his very accurate understanding of the world. The father-in-law nodded repeatedly when he heard Ye Xuan's words.
After taking the silver from Ye Xuan's hand, he immediately returned to the palace to announce the good news.
Jie Jin looked at Ye Xuan with some doubts. They had not yet been able to determine the number one winner at this time.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan already had an idea.
At this moment, the students outside Gongyuan were already a little impatient.
More than an hour has passed, and their emotions have reached their peak. They all want to know the outcome of Enke this time.
"The exam questions this time are so sophisticated, why hasn't the top candidate been determined yet? When will this be posted?
"Yes, yes, it's really worrying. Enke can compete in just one day, but I didn't expect it to be so grueling.
"Master Ye's standards for Enke have never been low. It seems that the number one scholar this time is definitely on par with the number one scholar in the imperial examination."
There was a lot of discussion outside the palace courtyard. Just as everyone was waiting and had already lost their patience, the deputy examiner from the Gongyuan Courtyard slowly came out and took out the names of the number one scholar and the crown prince.
"It's out, it's out, it's finally out!"
The students surrounded the examiner, their eyes fixed on the list in his hand.
The deputy examiner stood in front of everyone, slowly opened the paper in his hand, and then looked at everyone and shouted loudly.
"The Enke exam is over, the number one scholar is Huang Jinhua!"
As soon as these words came out, all the students were shocked.
Huang Jinhua was an ordinary student who failed the imperial examination. He had no powerful backers and no relatives in the capital who were officials.
He actually became Enke's number one pick?
Everyone whispered and looked at Huang Jinhuatou with doubts.
Some people are happy and some are sad......
Huang Huanghua didn't expect that he would become the number one scholar. His body couldn't stop trembling. He cried with joy. After studying hard for many years, he finally got a chance at this moment.
"This is really surprising. Among so many students, he was the only one chosen.
"How good the No. 1 Scholar's article is is, let me wait and see.
Everyone surrounded Huang Jinhua.
Huang Jinhua looked a little embarrassed as his colleagues gathered around him.
At this time, Ye Xuan and the lieutenant deputy examiner slowly walked out of the Gongyuan.
Suddenly someone recognized Xie Jin and thought of the relationship between Xie Yin and Huang Jinhua.
So someone started to spread rumors and slander Jie Jin in front of Ye Xuan.
A student suddenly rushed out from the crowd, blocked Ye Xuan's path, and knelt down in front of Ye Xuan with a plop.
"Master Ye, I want to report that someone leaked the test questions."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Ye Xuan looked down at the ragged student, raised his eyebrows slightly and stepped forward to help him up and look at him.
"Who are you?"
The student looked at Ye Xuan with red eyes, "Replying to your lord, my grandson, Wang Wu, has just been awarded the top prize this time, but someone among them leaked the test questions, which is not fair at all."
Jie Jin on the side quickly stepped forward and looked at Wang Wu's patient advice.
"The Holy Emperor personally asked Mr. Ye to conduct the exam, and Mr. Ye wrote the exam inscriptions himself. You said you leaked the exam questions and framed me for being unkind and unjust. Do you know your guilt?
Jie Jin looked at the student seriously, fearing that the other party would anger Ye Xuan. Everyone knew that Ye Xuan was a popular person around Zhu Yuanzhang, but if it made him uncomfortable, there would naturally be ways to deal with it.
This time Enke has always been handled by Ye Xuan, and the other deputy examiners [were unable to help from beginning to end.
Even he himself didn't know Ye Xuan's true intention until the exam questions were announced.
Now someone is deliberately making such a noise in public and slandering Ye Xuan. If he is blamed for this, he may not be able to protect his head.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wu glared at Jie Jin fiercely and refused to accept his favor at all.
Ye Xuan didn't care.
He looked at Wang Wu with great interest, and saw that his triangular eyes were full of calculations, and his impression of this person was already not very good.
…………Please give me flowers…………
"Then tell me who leaked this test question. Since you said it, you must have evidence.
As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, Wang Wu seemed to have found a backer and pointed his finger at Jie Jin beside Ye Xuan.
"Everyone knows that Huang Jinhua is your brother-in-law, and you are the deputy examiner, Xie Jin! It was you who leaked this exam question."
He said and looked at Xie Jin fiercely, wanting to drag him into the water.
Xie Jin was stunned on the spot, and everyone looked at him with disdain.
"I really didn't expect it. As the deputy examiner, Xie Jin actually leaked the exam questions to his brother-in-law. No wonder Huang Huanghua won the top prize.
"Sure enough, there is someone in the court who is an official and can do things easily. He was the first to write the test questions when they were sent out."
0...
"The number one scholar is really rich, Master Ye can uphold justice.
Huang Jinhua never imagined that he had just enjoyed the honor of being the number one scholar for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he would become a cheater despised by everyone.
He quickly stepped forward and looked at Ye Xuan innocently, wanting to defend himself.
"Master Ye, you must believe me. You must also believe my brother. He has never revealed anything related to the exam questions to me from beginning to end. He is an upright person and would never do such a thing."
Huang Huanghua suddenly felt a little regretful. Even if he had no way to seek an official position in the capital, he would not be willing to drag down Xie Jin, who had just risen to prominence.
Xie Jin finally gained Zhu Yuanzhang's appreciation. If he becomes more disadvantaged because of it, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Ye Xuan looked calm and turned to look at Jie Jin.
"Master Jie, how do you think this matter should be determined? Is what this candidate said is true?"
Xie Jin has never been framed like this before.
He maintained his integrity, bent slightly and raised his hands, looking at Ye Xuan respectfully.
"Master Ye, I have never done anything out of the ordinary, and now I am being slandered because the most important thing for an official is integrity.
"If you want to investigate the matter, you can report the truth to Dali Temple and let them investigate."
Xie Jin sat upright and upright. He had repeatedly encountered obstacles in the imperial examinations over the years, but he was finally appreciated, so he naturally cherished his righteousness more than others. .
