Chapter 99: The Arrow is in the String(2/2)
"Weichen Lu Chengfeng thanks the Emperor for his trust! You must prepare your questions carefully and not let the Emperor down!"
Lu Chengfeng and He Xuzhi kowtowed together to express their gratitude and left.
As soon as he left Xinuang Pavilion, Lu Chengfeng couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked:
"I don't know why Academician Xu didn't continue to participate in this question? I'm in the bottom lane. I'm willing to try my best to cooperate with Mr. He in tonight's question task. I sincerely ask Mr. He for your forgiveness."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be modest. Since you are already the deputy examiner for this year's Spring Examination, and the Emperor has entrusted today's urgent task to you and me, it is because he believes in Your Highness's ability and character."
He Xuzhi stared into Lu Chengfeng's eyes, smiled sincerely, and continued:
"Today's fraud in the Gongyuan examination room naturally caused all the original examination questions to be invalidated. As the subject and examiner of the last examination, even if Academician Xu did not make a big mistake, he could not escape the crime of oversight. Your Majesty He has been suspended from duty, alas..."
He Xuzhi sighed sadly when he mentioned the cheating case in the examination room and the experience of Bachelor Xu.
Lu Chengfeng was extremely surprised:
Isn’t this spring scientific examination always the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites?
Why was Bachelor Xu Da, as the examiner and question maker, held accountable?
The Minister of Rites, He Xuzhi, who is in charge of this matter, is not injured at all. He can continue to give important tasks. Can he still chat with me at this moment?
And myself, as the deputy examiner who witnessed the fraud case in the examination room, if there is any oversight, I cannot escape the blame, right?
