The day for the release of the results has finally arrived. Students from all over the country went to the tribute school to wait. Not only were the students who participated in the imperial examinations, but even some students who were studying abroad came to join in the fun. There were even local rich people who wanted to follow the example of the Song Dynasty's list to catch their son-in-law and find a son-in-law who was born in the Jinshi family.

It can be said that the day of the Gongyuan was even more lively than attending the big market. When the auspicious time came, the school officials led people out of the Gongyuan and then began to release the results. Moreover, the announcement was not from the first place, but from the worst. However, even the worst was the right Jinshi, and as long as you pass the palace examination, you can officially become a Jinshi.

So when the list of the list began to be announced one by one, bursts of joyful screams burst out from the crowd below, and they were accompanied by blessings and compliments from others around.

When the name of Yuan Song Cong was revealed in the end, the release of the ranking reached a climax. Song Cong was naturally ecstatic, but more of them were countless candidates who lost the last glimmer of hope. All the people who were not on the list showed sad and depressed expressions. Even some people on the list dared not celebrate loudly, so as not to stimulate their friends who failed the exam. For a moment, a strange quiet period appeared outside the gate of the Gongyuan.

However, at this moment, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "This is not right! Why are all the people on the list of southerners and none of northerners?"

This person's words suddenly attracted the attention of countless people, especially those northern students who failed the exam, immediately looked up at the list again. This time they looked carefully from beginning to end, and found that all these people were southerners, not even a northerner.

"This is impossible. There was another Shaanxi candidate who won the second place in the imperial examination last time. Why didn't even have a single northerner on the list this time?" Someone below shouted again.

"Corruption! Some people must be cheating. This is simply discrimination and suppression of our northerners!"

"The examiner must have collected money. Liu Sanwu actually has the face to call himself Tantanweng, and he is actually a wise man who seeks fame!"

…………

In front of the gate of the Gongyuan, which was a little quiet just now, it seems like an explosion. Countless students were shouting angrily, not only students from the north, but also students from Huguang, Guangdong and other places. They also found that they were also sympathetic to the students from the north. There were 51 people on the list, and more than 40 of them came from three provinces, which was obviously too biased.

Faced with the crowd of students, the officials of the tribute school wanted to suppress the situation at first, but soon found that the pressure would only add fuel to the fire. These students were all fame and furious and were also angry by the list. At this time, they completely ignored the consequences. Some even wanted to rush into the tribute school. The officials were so scared that they hurriedly closed the gate of the tribute school, which blocked the students.

However, the affairs of the tribute school were only the beginning. The anger of these students had been completely picked up, so they naturally had to find a vent. The examiners such as Liu Sanwu naturally became their target. After all, the test papers were evaluated and revised, and the list was also drafted by them. Who would they look for if they were not?

So in this case, groups of students naturally united. Some went to the Ministry of Rites to complain, some went to the government office to complain, and some even stopped officials passing by the street to complain. Anyway, they did not let go of any place to complain as long as they could think of.

Although these students are not officials, the energy they unite is very huge. Not to mention anything else, many of these students are from official families, and their elders are all officials in the court. They are treated unfairly, so the elders in the family will naturally not sit idly by.

So in just a few days, various memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes, and more than a dozen censors jointly published the memorials, asking Lao Zhu to order a thorough investigation of the matter. After all, the impact of this matter was too bad.

"Hahaha~, Jiang is still so old. My father's move is so powerful. I guess Liu Sanwu and others are so scared that they are restless now, right?" In Wenhua Palace, Zhu Biao looked at the memorials in front of him and couldn't help laughing happily. These memorials were memorials by officials from all over the country who impeached Liu Sanwu and others.

"Your Majesty is taking advantage of the situation. Now the situation has been achieved. Not only are the students angry, but even many officials in the court have been angry. Next, your Majesty will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly!" Li Jie also said with a smile at this time, but at the end of the conversation, his smile suddenly became restrained, as if he had thought of something again?

"It should have been like this long ago. Li Jie, are you interested in participating in the investigation of this case? I think with the trust of your father in you, I will definitely agree to let you participate too." Zhu Biao suddenly asked Li Jie with a smile. Li Jie was one of the people they father and son trust the most. His participation in the investigation of this case can also make them feel more at ease.

"I think... Your Majesty may not let me participate in this investigation!" Li Jie suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Zhu Biao also showed a confused look when he heard this.

"This..." Li Jie hesitated for a moment, then asked back, "Your Highness, in your opinion, what is the reason why all the tribute students are from the Southerners this time?"

"This is not simple, someone must be cheating!" Zhu Biao said with great certainty.

"What's behind the cheating? Why do they cheat? And they do so obviously? Don't you know that doing so will not only anger the people of the world, but also anger Your Majesty?" Li Jie asked again.

"This..." Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this. He had never considered this issue seriously, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true. Even if he cheated, he did it too obvious. Even if you let one or two northerners on the list, it would not cause this situation now, right?

"Don't your highness understand yet? Actually, someone wants to use this to demonstrate to His Majesty!" Li Jie sighed and replied.

"Who has such a courage?" Zhu Biao was shocked when he heard this, and a look of incredible expression appeared on his face. After all, Lao Zhu's reputation is well known, especially after Li Shanchang's death, almost no minister dared to provoke the emperor's majesty.
