Zhao Hongwei looked at Zhao Hongjie unhappily. Among the many officials of Xuan Kingdom in those days, only the old prime minister could be considered honest and upright.
Now that my younger brother said this, isn't this embarrassing for the old Prime Minister? No wonder the old Prime Minister looks so ugly now.
"I'm really sorry for not disciplining my brother well, old Prime Minister." Zhao Hongwei didn't want his brother to be hated at this time, so he apologized quickly.
Although the old Prime Minister has retired and returned to his hometown, he still has many disciples in the court. If my younger brother passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, he will definitely meet those people. If the old Prime Minister tells those people, my younger brother's future will be completely ruined.
The old Prime Minister glanced at Zhao Hongwei and didn't say anything. Instead, he chatted with Wang Jingyu and the others. As he chatted with them, the smile on his face gradually increased.
Zhao Hongjie felt very embarrassed when he saw that the old Prime Minister was rude to him but so nice to Wang Jingyu.
"elder brother… "
"Shut up." Isn't this embarrassing enough for him

Hearing this, Zhao Hongjie completely hated Wang Jingyu. He glared at Wang Jingyu fiercely and lowered his head when Wang Jingyu looked at him.
As we were chatting, daybreak soon arrived and the time for the results to be announced was approaching.
"You don't want to go and see?"
"There's no need for the servants to go there and line up early in the morning." Wang Jingyu shook his head and said.
"Then you don't need to go and see."
The person watching this time was Yuanji, who was with Wang Jingyu and their servants.
When the time came, the list came out: "The list is out."
"The results are out, check them out now."
"People at the back, please stop pushing. What are you looking at when the stickers haven't even been posted yet?"
After the stickers were posted, Yuanji instantly squeezed to the front. When he saw that the first place was Wang Jingyu, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Just as the young master said, Wang Jingyu passed the exam and became the top scorer.
The second place is Qin Lang.
As for Luo Su, he is ranked sixth, and those with him are all in the top 20, which is a pretty good result.
While we were still looking at the list here, the person who brought the good news had already arrived at the bottom of the restaurant.
"Congratulations to Mr. Wang Jingyu for being the top scorer in the imperial examination." This was repeated several times in a row and everyone upstairs heard it.
"Jingyu, it seems that an official came to report the good news. I heard that you won the top spot in the imperial examination." Luo Su said excitedly.
"It seems so."
Zhao Hongjie and his brother also heard it, but this voice made them break out in cold sweats. If Wang Jingyu was the top scorer in high school, then he had completely lost, and there would be no next time.
"How is this possible?" Zhao Hongjie said angrily, not believing it at all.
Hearing this, everyone looked over and said, "Are you doubting the emperor and the others?"
Zhao Hongwei frowned slightly and was about to say something when the official who brought the good news came up: "Which one is Mr. Wang Jingyu?"

"It's me." Wang Jingyu stood up, looked at them and said with a smile.
"Congratulations on being the top scorer in the imperial examination. You will take part in the palace examination in three days."
"Thank you." Wang Jingyu took out the purse he had prepared long ago and handed it to the two of them.
The two men declined it for a moment, then accepted it and left.
As soon as they left, there was another voice announcing good news from downstairs, this time it was for Qin Lang.
Then came the third place.
Not long after, Yuanji and the others came over: "Congratulations, everyone, you all won. Master Luo, you are the sixth place."
Others were delighted to hear their rankings: “Great.”
"We all passed the exam. It would be even better if we could be assigned to a place to serve as an official."
"yes."

Zhao Hongjie's expression became even uglier. The person who had been at odds with him before said with a smile, "It seems that Jingyu and his team have definitely won."
"By the way, what place does Zhao Hongjie get?" Luo Su asked curiously.
"Failed the exam." Yuanji said without any politeness.
When Zhao Hongjie heard the words "failed the exam", his eyes turned red: "You are talking nonsense. How could I fail the exam? This is nonsense."
"You will know when your family comes back." Yuanji said meaningfully.
"you… "
Zhao Hongwei glanced at Zhao Hongjie and said, "That's enough, you..."
While they were talking, Zhao Hongwei's men had already returned. Looking at their expressions, Zhao Hongwei knew that what they said was true.
"How did the young master's exam go?" Zhao Hongwei still had a last glimmer of hope.
"Master... Master failed the exam."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongjie stared at Wang Jingyu and asked, "Did you do this?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Jingyu frowned and looked at Zhao Hongjie. Is this kind of person who easily falls into a rage really a scholar
Especially seeing him like this made Wang Jingyu feel incredible.
"Isn't it? You are Wang Jinhe's brother, she is the Jade Princess and her husband is the Prince of Fuhua. He is the chief examiner and the one who participated in setting the questions. He must have leaked the questions to you, right?"
"You knew I would be competing with you so you asked him to put my test paper on the list of failed candidates. Am I right?" After Zhao Hongjie finished speaking, he kept nodding his head, believing that he was right.
Everyone frowned when they heard Zhao Hongjie's words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Jingyu and his friends arrived just a few days before the exam, and they did live in the palace when they arrived."
"Look, even you said they live in the palace, so they will have more opportunities to come into contact with the test questions."
"Zhao Hongjie, shut up. How can you slander Mr. Fuhua?"
"I'm telling you, I got first place in the Jingyu Tongsheng exam, the Xiucai exam, and the Juren exam."

"Also, my father is an official in the court, and you all know that. My father told me that a few days before the exam, the prince suddenly moved into the palace for some reason, and he has been living in the palace since the exam. He has to mark the exam papers. Everyone knows that it takes ten days to mark the exam papers, and a few more days to review them. Finally, they have to be sent to the emperor. Until last night, the prince had not returned to the palace, and no one from Prince Yu's palace had entered the palace to pass on any news to the prince."
"Yes, I know about this, and the people from the Dali Temple are in the palace to monitor whether the people in the palace have secretly passed messages into the palace, or if anyone has secretly entered the palace. This was all raised by the prince during the morning court session." Another candidate nearby said.
"My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When the prince proposed this plan, my father asked the prince why he did that. At that time, the prince said that the princess's brother and several classmates came to take the imperial examination together and lived at home. In order to prevent accidents, he needed to avoid danger. So the prince spent most of the past month living in the palace and did not leave. These ministers who attended the morning court can testify to the prince."
Candidates whose families were officials all spoke out.
Their father mentioned this while they were having dinner.
They said the prince was their role model, and that he would go to such lengths to avoid danger.
