Qiu Wenfei returned to the main hall quietly, but the disappointed look on his face could not be hidden from Qiu Yueming who was beside him.

Qiu Yueming silently glanced at Qiu Wenfei, who sighed and shook his head.Today, the Qiu family's reputation among scholars will be ruined.

At this time, Qiu Wenshu was answering in the center of the hall, and the rest stayed in their seats, chatting boredly.

"Father, I see that everyone is not very interested," the crown prince suggested, "How about this? Every time Qiu Wenshu answers a question, he will change the paper and hand in the original paper, and we will comment on the spot, how about it?"

The emperor was bored, and immediately said: "Yun."

Qiu Wenfei was in a heavy heart. Wouldn't this on-the-spot comment affect the mood of the respondent even more?

Qiu Yueming's temples were faintly sweaty.

The eunuch got the emperor's oral order, and went forward to exchange papers with Qiu Wenshu.The papers that Qiu Wenshu had already answered were first corrected by the eunuch Bingbi on the spot before being presented to the emperor.

The eunuch Bingbi said: "My Majesty, the first question is the Sutra, and Qiu Wenshu made a wrong answer."

Tiejing is to take the sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics, cover up some words, and let the candidates write complete questions.This is the most basic and simple part of the whole paper.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and it seemed that they already had a certain understanding of Qiu Wenshu's talent and learning.

Qiu Yueming also whispered to Qiu Wenfei: "How could Manjusri make a mistake here!" After saying that, Qiu Yueming himself was embarrassed.This nephew has never been tutored, and he has done little homework. Answering in such a big scene, he feels panic, and mistakes are inevitable!

The emperor lazily took the paper, glanced at it, and commented: "The writing is not bad."

The eunuch circulated Qiu Wenshu's papers, and soon they were in Qiu Yueming's hands.Several disciples of the Qiu family, including Qiu Wenfei, gathered beside Qiu Yueming to read the papers.

Qiu Wenshu's handwriting was as usual, calm and powerful, and there seemed to be no signs of stage fright.

Qiu Wenfei carefully looked at his wrong question, only to realize that this poem covers too much, and there are more places for candidates to play. Qiu Wenfei can recall several answers at once.Qiu Wenshu's answer was actually not wrong, presumably it was just different from the answer in the dossier in the eunuch Bingbi's hand, so he was judged wrong.

Qiu Yueming naturally also discovered this problem, but this paper was issued by the emperor, and the answer to the paper was also ordered by the emperor, if he raises an objection, wouldn't it be a slap in the face on the spot, and would he be selfish?

Qiu Yueming and Qiu Wenfei looked at each other, and passed the paper to others in silence.

Qiu Yueming said in a low voice: "I just hope that Manjusri will not be affected, and calm down."

Qiu Wenfei looked at Qiu Wenshu in the center of the hall.He was still sitting upright, his eyes focused on the file, and the pen in his hand never stopped.

Qiu Yueming asked softly: "What's the second question?"

Qiu Wenfei silently read the question he saw just now. This is a math problem, and the problem is extremely complicated.

Qiu Yueming dipped in the wine and answered quietly on the table. Just now he had an idea, he heard the prince ask: "Has Qiu Wenshu answered?"

Qiu Wenshu shook his head.

Being interrupted by the crown prince, Qiu Yueming lost his thoughts for a moment, frowned and started again.

The delicacies on the desk had already cooled down, Qiu Yueming was concentrating on counting, and suddenly heard the prince ask: "Can you answer it?"

Clay figurines are also somewhat temperamental, Qiu Yueming pursed his lips and let go.Even if Qiu Wenshu could answer, the answer would be muddied by the urging.

In the real scientific examination, the examiner just collects the paper at the end, who cares which question the candidate answers quickly and which question is slow?Asking again and again like this is just to put pressure on the candidates.

Perhaps the crown prince asked too many questions, and the emperor became impatient, and asked coldly, "Can't you answer?"

Just at this moment, Qiu Wenshu put down his pen and exchanged papers with the eunuch.

After being corrected by the eunuch Bingbi, he was about to submit it, but the emperor didn't even look at it, and said lazily, "Let's put it aside for now."

The emperor got up and said: "Qiu Wenshu, you can choose another question and do it." After finishing speaking, he walked off the stage with his hands behind his back and left the hall.

This sounded like pouring water on Qiu Wenshu, but it was actually an expression of dissatisfaction. Qiu Yueming's heart sank and sweat dripped down.

As soon as the emperor left, the discussion in the hall became louder.

The prince got up and walked to Qiu Wenshu, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Qiu Wenshu, choose a topic carefully, choose a simple one, and don't insult the reputation of your Qiu family."

The upper left side where the children of the royal family were sitting burst into loud laughter.

The Qiu family belongs to the prominent Qing family, and has been the right arm and right arm of the emperors of all dynasties since ancient times.The former emperor was fatuous and innocent, and when the court collapsed, the Qiu family lived in seclusion in the mountains.After the founding of Daning, Emperor Xianwu visited the thatched cottage three times and invited Qiu's family to come out of the mountain.

At that time, the Qiu family was so beautiful that it overshadowed all the aristocratic families, and everyone more or less wanted to see Qiu's jokes.However, after the Qiu family came out of the mountain, not only did they have the reputation of a school of seven scholars, but they also produced an emperor teacher, so everyone could only rest their minds.

Now that the Qiu family is in an embarrassment, although the civil and military officials did not embarrass the Qiu family on the spot, most of them showed the expression of "the children of the Qiu family are not good enough".

Qiu Wenfei ignored the ridicule of outsiders, found files that outsiders didn't read, and pondered with other Qiu family members.

After carefully comparing the difficulty of each question, a student of the Qiu family was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice: "Manjusri must never choose the last question..."

The last question is a policy question, asking about the current provincial system.

Daning has a vast territory, and there has always been a practice of enfeoffment.

Emperor Xianwu used to be a king with a different surname in Shu in the previous dynasty. He rebelled and seized the world and created Daning.The current emperor also raised troops from his own fiefdom, took advantage of the death of the former emperor, and seized the former prince's country before he sat on the throne.

The provincial system provides convenience for the rebels. After the rebels ascended the throne, they asked all the talents in the world what they think of the provincial system...how can they answer?

At this moment, the prince returned to his original position and asked, "Which question did Qiu Wenshu choose?"

The eunuch read aloud the question chosen by Qiu Wenshu, and the hall was silent.

Qiu Wenshu chose the last policy question.

The palms of the Qiu family began to sweat.

Qiu Wenshu sat alone in the center of the hall, his expression was always cold and arrogant, as if he was not affected by the outside world at all.

The current emperor has reached the age of entrusting the land to his sons, but the land was sealed, but the princes were not sent to guard the place. This is to curb the royal family's conspiracy.But... In recent years, local rebellions have continued one after another. Even the Li family in Lianzhou has a big case of embezzlement of military pay... The emperor must be devastated by the entrustment!

This strategy question is his last chance.

As a descendant of the Qiu family, it's just that he has never made any contribution to the family, but he must never let the Qiu family's reputation be ruined by himself.
