After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

This year's imperial examination has already begun with the provincial examination.

At the beginning, those people in the clan didn’t take it seriously.

However, it was not until the provincial examination was over that they realized the seriousness of the matter.

In the past, nine-tenths of the candidates who passed the provincial examinations were from family clans. However, this time, only half of them were from family clans.

The key point is that their ranking is not particularly high.

This time, many talents emerged, and all of them came from humble backgrounds.

Now, the people of the clan were no longer calm, and they gathered at Lord Ji's house.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Lord Ji didn't say anything.

He had already expected this scene to happen.

He had already expected this when Lan Xiang took the lead in donating books and the bookstore sold books at a low price.

The reason why clans dominated in the past was simply because poor families could not afford to go to school.

Writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones were all expensive; a book cost several taels of silver, and some even cost dozens of taels of silver.

How can ordinary farmers afford such high costs?

And these have always been in the hands of the clan.

However, the appearance of the Queen Mother broke this monopoly, and the key point was that no one dared to compete with her because she was the Queen Mother.

Moreover, with Prime Minister Lan taking the lead, the Lan family has a high reputation among scholars, so everyone would give them some face.

Seeing that he didn't speak, someone said anxiously:

"Sir, you need to give me some rules."

If this continues, the emperor will have no place for them in the court even if he does anything.

Lord Ji put down his teacup, glanced at the person who was speaking, and said calmly:

"What can I do?"

“I also want to know that after years of accumulation and training by the clan, they are actually not as good as those children from poor families.”

"It's really shameful!"

"This is good too. After so many years, we have become tired and feel that no one can compete with us. This is a good opportunity to teach our children a lesson and let them know that there are always people better than you."

"In the past, no one competed with them. Competing with them doesn't mean they are better than others."

"But, Da..."

Someone else wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Master Ji.

"Okay, let's go back. I'm tired too."

He won't get involved in this kind of thing.

As for whether someone is seeking death, that is not his business.

In his opinion, this group of people have been living too comfortably in recent years, and it’s time for them to restrain themselves.

Coming out of the Censor's residence, a group of people looked unhappy, especially those whose family members had children participating in this year's imperial examination.

They had already read the essays of top-ranked candidates from all over the country and found that their own essays were simply incomparable.

As a result, it would be difficult to make the list in the imperial examination, let alone be among the top.

Several people looked at each other and slowly said:

"Since Lord Ji doesn't care, let's do it ourselves."

They didn't dare to touch the bookstore because it was run by the Queen Mother. Who would dare to touch it?

However, they can make some progress in other areas.

For example, the examination papers.

They didn't know that someone was already waiting for them.

As soon as they made a move, they were immediately captured.

Yan Mingjue snorted coldly when he received the news.

"They really are not afraid of death."

They actually extended their hands to the imperial examination.

He had wanted to make an example of someone for a long time, but he never found the opportunity.

This time, they came to our door on their own initiative!
