Chapter 407 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Imperial Power
One sentence, like thunder, made everyone who was about to move suddenly quiet down.
Some of those who were still hesitant now have no courage at all.
Most of them stopped their friends secretly and tried to suppress the matter.
After all, if you lose your future just to relieve your anger, you are really a fool.
Moreover, there is no right or wrong in this matter, but a kind of relief or ridicule for young people.
After all, Ye Xuan’s previous question was so tricky that it could even be described as weird.
But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang personally presided over the exam, and maybe the difficulty of the exam questions would be reduced.
After all, if the rumors are true, it means that the imperial court is really eager to hire people.
When he was so thirsty for talents, Zhu Yuanzhang had no reason to choose too difficult questions to make things difficult for the candidates.
The reason why they made a fuss about these things was because they thought it was a bit interesting and it was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang presided over the imperial examination.
Except for a few people with ulterior motives, most people still have expectations for the exam and participate in discussions just for fun.
In fact, while Ye Xuan was confused, he also understood what most people were thinking, so he didn't delve into it.
Otherwise, as long as he said hello to Mao Xiang, or even spoke to the people in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, he would be able to find out the person who first spread the rumors in a day or two.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Xie Jin was finally satisfied.
He cupped his hands towards Yang Chunyi and said goodbye in a relaxed manner.
"Brother Yang, I wish you and I both can be in high school, stay in the annals of history, and make great achievements in the future!"
After finishing speaking, Xie Jin looked around at everyone, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
In his opinion, these people are really not worthy of being with him, let alone taking exams with him.
It's just that there is no need to say anything about this kind of thing, but Jie Jin just doesn't follow common sense.
"Okay, this place is really disgusting. You and I can just say goodbye. Let's see you again in the Imperial Examination!"
With that said, Xie Jin turned around and left without waiting for Yang Chun to say anything.
Before leaving, he asked Wu to throw a piece of money on the table.
Looking at Xie Jin's back, Yang Chun felt admiration and a little envious of his free and easy attitude.
He murmured: "No wonder Xie Jin is so talented and has such a big heart. I'm afraid that if Li Taibai met him in the past, he would have to be his confidant.
Obviously, in Yang Chun's eyes, Xie Jin is a crazy student, and he is also a crazy student with talents and learning that he can only envy.
On the other side, Shen Rong watched Xie Jin leave, and she hurriedly looked at Ye Xuan.
"My husband just let him go like this?"
Ye Xuan asked, "What else?"
Ye Xuan naturally understood what Shen Rong meant, but he knew that if Xie Jin didn't have such a temper, then he wouldn't be Xie Jin.
Moreover, if someone really cares about something like this, then this person is too petty, and it is impossible for him to achieve anything big.
As the former examiner, I should not have any contact with Xie Jin at this moment, regardless of emotion or reason.
Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives discovers it, there will inevitably be a lot of rumors.
After all, Xie Jin came out on top in the previous examination results, ranking first.
Shen Rong didn't know what Ye Xuan was thinking, so when she heard the rhetorical question, she quickly whispered a reminder.
"He did this all for you. If something happened to him, wouldn't you be Eryi?"
Before Shen Rong could finish speaking, Ye Xuan had already held his youngest son in his arms and started playing with him affectionately.
Taking advantage of the break in the banter, Ye Xuan replied in a low voice: "If he dares to speak, he must have the means to protect himself. Besides, if young people are too smooth, they will get into big trouble sooner or later. We meet by chance, and I can't interfere in everything." One kick!"
Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Shen Rong couldn't say anything else.
She whispered to the guard on the side: "That's all, follow him secretly, and come back when he returns to the inn safely!"
The guard agreed and trotted away from the village.
At this moment, Ye Xuan saw that the Mingyue Building was lifeless and lost interest, so he simply took his wife and children and wandered around again.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the day of the palace examination.
Maybe it's God's grace, or maybe there's someone really good in Qin Tianjian.
It had been hot for two consecutive days, but on the day of the palace examination, the temperature was pleasant and the weather was sunny without being very sunny.
Outside Fengtian Hall, tables, chairs, benches, and all used stationery have been prepared in advance.
Because there were too many people this time and Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of it himself, the original examiners now took the place of the scribes.
In order to make up for the shortage in numbers, Ren Ang even borrowed some people from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
According to Ren Ang's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow any hierarchy or order, but was the first to enter the venue and sat on the dragon chair early, waiting for the candidates to enter.
As the etiquette officer sang, someone immediately led the candidates to file in from outside Fengtian Gate.
When the candidates saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting far away, although there was still a lot of distance, most of them were still worried and couldn't help but want to kneel down.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang had spoken in advance. Today, there is no distinction between monarch and minister, and everyone does not even need to kowtow.
Therefore, after being guided to salute Zhu Yuanzhang, all the candidates kowtowed to the portrait and tablet of Confucius, the most holy teacher, and then found their seats one by one.
I have to say that although Zhu Yuanzhang was not born vicious, under the majesty of the emperor and the various actions he performed, he was still a bit terrifying.
Even though he didn't say a word, the candidates who were far away were still affected, and their hands even trembled slightly when holding the pen.
Because Xie Jin ranked first in the previous examination, he was also the closest to Zhu Yuanzhang among the candidates.
However, he felt that he was very talented and learned, so naturally he would not be as nervous as others, to the point of being exaggerated.
However, because the etiquette was complicated and Zhu Yuanzhang had not announced the test questions for a long time, he couldn't help but feel secretly worried.
While the candidates were secretly complaining, on the other side (the successful ones), Ye Xuan and other ministers were curiously waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to announce the test questions.
The reason why they were present was actually because Zhu Yuanzhang used these officials to express his impartiality in order to silence everyone.
Regarding this, Ye Xuan expressed helplessness.
At first he planned to pretend to be ill and not come, but in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the School Disciple in person to ask him to attend.
With such an invitation, Ye Xuan was naturally unable to refuse, and in the end he could only become a spectator along with the ministers.
Looking at the reactions of the candidates, and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who had been refusing to announce his answers, Ye Xuan couldn't help but snicker.
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang might have prepared more than one test question, but he might not have thought about it yet.
Thinking of how desperate the candidates were when faced with their own exam questions, Ye Xuan suddenly felt that the biggest difficulty in this exam may be facing the psychological pressure left by Zhu Yuanzhang intentionally or unintentionally.
