Seeing that the officials wanted to speak but stopped, Li Zhengfang would naturally feel sorry for it, and frowned and said, "Who is the one whom you are entrusted?"

"A nephew of Lord Zhou." The official returned.

"How are his grades among the students who take the exam?" Li Zhengfang asked again.

The official said: "It's very good, there is a chance to be enterprising. If you pay a little attention to it..."

"Okay." Li Zhengfang interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about these later. The king attaches great importance to this exam. We must do things well and choose the best. This principle will not change. Tell Lord Zhou, his nephew, if he is a wine bag, I am afraid that even if I want to sell him for his face, I am afraid I can't do anything."

"The lower official understands, the lower official understands." The official responded repeatedly.

Li Zhengfang is not a very upright person, or he has his own method when he wanders in the officialdom.

The so-called "no first place in literature" is. If the nephew of the Neiyoushi Shi is similar to the articles of a certain student, then Li Zhengfang will definitely give priority to the admission of the Zhou family. There is no doubt that this is.

After the officials left, not long after, someone came to report:

"Sir, General Zhang is asking for a meeting."

"Who?" Li Zhengfang was a little unresponsive. The general in the army had come.

"Zhang Dashan, General Zhang." The servant repeated it.

"Please come in quickly."

Zhang Dashan was a famous figure among the intermediate generals of the Qin army who dared to fight tough battles.

Following Xiao Yuan in the battles and made great contributions, he is now a third-rank general and has a great status.

Therefore, Li Zhengfang did not dare to neglect, but quickly invited him into the living room and ordered his servants to serve tea.

The two of them took a seat. Li Zhengfang picked up the teacup and blew it gently, and said, "The general is visiting today, I wonder what is the price for you?"

Zhang Dashan is a rough man, and there are not so many twists and turns. He doesn't know how to wander around the officialdom, so he smiled and said bluntly:

"That's right. This time, the king was in charge of the imperial examination and was responsible for Lord Li. I have a child from my cousin who has been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and he is very talented. He has always wanted to gain fame and fortune, but there is no good opportunity. This time, I hope Lord Li can take care of one or two."

After hearing this, Li Zhengfang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General, it's not that I am unwilling to help, but that the matter is different."

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Zhang Dashan laughed dryly and said, "If that kid has no talent, he will ignore it. But he has real talent and knowledge. I just hope it will make it more convenient for him."

"This..." Li Zhengfang didn't know what to say.

Zhang Dashan said again: "Mr. Li also knows that it is okay to let me Zhang Dashan fight, but it is not good to read the text and write. My old Zhang family finally found such a literati. You can't miss a great opportunity. I really want to ask Lord Li..."

As he spoke, he quickly got up and gave a bow.

Seeing this, Li Zhengfang could only stand up: "General is so polite, general is so polite..."

This situation has happened not only in Zhang Dashan. In the past two days, I don’t know how many senior officials have visited in the Li Mansion.

This is human nature.

A few days later, the Ministry of Personnel led the issuance of the official documents and the grand examination began.

For a moment, students from all over the country rushed to the examination room with excitement.

In this major examination, several additional places were added in the main examination room, and every other hour, a group of candidates would be replaced. The main examination alone lasted for more than ten days, which shows how many students were.

At the request of Wang Ting, only 30 people were admitted for the final palace examination.

To have to fight for a bloody path among so many students, it shows how fierce the competition is.

But once you become one of these thirty people, you will be an official! Even if you cannot become an official immediately, you will be a scholar and a doctor.

Being recognized by the court and becoming a civilian into a literati is an absolute qualitative change, so no matter what, people are trying to fight this time even if they are squeezed out.

Needless to say, the tragic tragedy of the examination room was no longer there. After more than ten days, Li Zhengfang, and all the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Personnel, finally confirmed the list of the forty people.

Subsequently, on behalf of Wang Ting, he posted it on the South Gate of Qinzhou in the form of a notice.

On the day of the list opening, there were crowds of people at the south gate. Before the notice, it was already surrounded.

In the crowd, many students were standing on tiptoe.

You should know that this list is very important, but it is related to the lifelong future of these students.

Someone was lying in front of the notice, looking for it one by one.

Someone shook his head and sighed: "I have failed the exam after ten years of hard study..."

As he said that, he screamed sadly, turned around and wanted to leave in disappointment.

But some people seem to have discovered something.

"You see! You see!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"If you look at the names on the list, if they are correct, they should be students from Qin and Shu!"

"What!?"

Someone was not paying attention at first and was about to leave disappointed. When he heard this, he immediately came back. After seeing it, he also reacted and shouted:

"That's right! That's true!"

"It's too much! There is no Northern student on the list!"

"Why are we northern students excluded!"

"Wang Ting is unfair to serve as an official!"

"Scandal! Scandal in the world--"

The crowd exploded in an instant!

You know, these are all scholars.

There are so many students in the north, and there are many talented people. Even if the admission rate is lower than that in Qin and Shu, how could none of them be on the list?

This clearly made everyone feel injustice and resentment!

After ten years of hard work, I am here to get a big exam. The mentality of failing the exam is beyond words. When I encountered such a thing, you can imagine the scene.

The explosion of people spread to the entire South Gate in an instant.

"If you have the courage, sue me before the king!"

"Yes! Report to the king--"

There was no need for too much encouragement at all. Countless students began to gather together in groups amid the shouts, leaving the South Gate and heading all the way to the Qin Palace.

The scene looked like there were all young people dressed in scholars. They came from all over the north. After they reached the main street, the team grew bigger and bigger, with a total of thousands of people.

On both sides of the street, the people watched and pointed.

The entire Qinzhou City seemed to be in a state of excitement.

In Wuwei Mansion, an army soldier ran in panic.

"Report~~~~~"

"Report to the Lord! Thousands of students gathered to cause trouble and are heading to the royal palace!"

"What!?" Ye Cheng was shocked when he heard this and couldn't sit still.

Where is the Qin Palace? It is where the king and the court are. No matter what, how can the people make trouble there?

"Quick! Please ask Wang Ting for support from the Central Army!"
