Chapter 252 What are you doing again?

The autumn exam does not require the chief and deputy examiners to arrive early.

However, because the discipline issues of the candidates have to be checked, I will habitually arrive early.

Zhao Chen's words immediately blocked Wei Zheng back.

But it was obvious that Wei Zheng was unwilling to accept this defeat.

"Zhao Chen, as examiners, we have to set an example and arrive at the examination room early to supervise the situation of candidates. You came so late and most of the candidates have already entered. How can we check?" Wei Zheng said dissatisfied.

"Supervising the candidates is originally the responsibility of the government officials. We examiners are only responsible for the examination."

"Besides, do you think you can catch all the cheating candidates by searching?"

"In every exam, there are about 20% of people who want to cheat, but if you go and search, you can find out about 10% at most."

"There is still 10% that cannot be found out."

"So, whether I arrive early or late doesn't actually matter. Anyway, when the exam starts, they will still cheat if they should." Zhao Chen said slowly, looking at Wei Zheng with a playful expression.

Wei Zheng looked at the teasing look in Zhao Chen's eyes and immediately became unhappy.

"Since you know that there are still some people who cheat, then as the deputy examiner, shouldn't you find a way to catch them?" Wei Zheng frowned.

"You relax a little, and they can relax a little too. Come on, let's go have a cup of tea first and then go there after the exam starts." Zhao Chen smiled and walked towards the lobby.

…

"Hey, why is there something different about this autumn exam this year? Why haven't I seen any of the chief and deputy examiners?"

"At this hour, they should come over to investigate the situation of the candidates. How is this..."

"I heard that our newly appointed deputy chief examiner Zhao has not arrived yet, so he probably won't come to check."

"The exam is about to start in a quarter of an hour. Is the deputy chief examiner not here?"

"If it's not here, it's not here. Anyway, it will be ready next time."

r\u003e

In front of the Chang'an government office, a group of candidates were being examined. Seeing that none of the chief and deputy examiners for the autumn examination came, they couldn't help but start talking.

Thousands of people participated in this autumn exam, and now nearly 90% have entered.

"The chief and deputy chief examiners are so irresponsible that they didn't show up for the autumn exam for so long."

"Master Yu and Master Wei are clearly here, but they still don't come. I really don't know what they think."

"Well, if something big happens in this autumn exam, we will all be to blame."

Many of the officials who were in charge of invigilating the exam looked embarrassed at this moment.

But there were also some people with joy flashing in their eyes.

He secretly said that this autumn test must be extremely easy.

"What is that boy Zhao Chen doing? Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng are nowhere to be seen, and they are also causing mischief together?" Li Shimin, dressed in common people's clothing, asked Changsun Wuji, who was also in casual clothes.

How could Changsun Wuji know what Zhao Chen and the others were doing.

"I'm afraid I have to ask Zhao Chen himself. Many of the officials in front of him are people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang. I'm afraid there will be serious fraud in this autumn examination." Changsun Wuji said slowly.

He could tell at a glance that at least five or six of the dozen officials in front of him were from noble families.

Just think about it and you know they are definitely doing something secretly.

"Let's go in and see what that kid Zhao Chen is up to." Li Shimin frowned and walked towards the side door.

…

"It's almost time, Mr. Yu and Mr. Wei, let's go to the examination room."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Chen stood up and spoke to Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng.

This is what the two of them feel

Very anxious all the time.

If Zhao Chen hadn't been stopping them and asking them to sit here for a while, the two of them would have gone to the examination room long ago.

Now when they heard what Zhao Chen said, the two of them immediately stood up and ran to the examination room in front without even bothering to talk to Zhao Chen.

"Why do you think they have to sit here and wait for so long if they are in such a hurry?" Zhao Chen smiled and asked Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu behind him.

"That's right. This Yu Shinan is the examiner. Why does he listen to you so much?" Cheng Chumo also shook his head.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing again?" Zhao Chen glanced at Cheng Chumo.

"I don't know that either!" Cheng Chu silently spread his hands.

"Let's go and see how far the aristocratic family can stretch their hands in this autumn exam." Zhao Chen waved and the group of people walked to the examination room in front. ??

"Zhao Chen, Your Majesty is here." After walking a few steps, Qin Huaiyu grabbed Zhao Chen and whispered to him.

Zhao Chen looked up and saw Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan standing in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked over, said something to Yu Shinan and the other two, and saw them leaving in a hurry.

"Zhao Chen, the exam is about to start soon, why are you still here?" Li Shimin came over and asked.

Behind him, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu quickly bowed and saluted.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come out when you have nothing to do?" Zhao Chen and Li Shimin cupped their hands and said unceremoniously.

Li Shimin opened his mouth and stared at Zhao Chen.

With so many people watching here, this kid doesn't give himself any face.

Also, this autumn examination is related to the Tang Dynasty. Can't I come over and take a look?

Changsun Wuji stood aside, a little confused.

Is this the same Emperor who called him into the palace last night to give him a scolding?

Last night, Changsun Wuji once again experienced what Long Yan was furious.

Why could the emperor not even understand what he said when he saw Zhao Chen?

"I came out to relax today. It's a good thing for you. You didn't even go to the usual search in the autumn examination. Are you afraid you want them all to cheat?" Li Shimin was silent for a moment and pretended to be angry.

He had an agreement with Zhao Chen before.

Don't meet Zhao Chen casually again.

The more frequent the two meet, the more cautious the families will be.

It will be really difficult to deal with them again.

"In front of me, they shouldn't think about cheating at all. Many of the officials who invigilated the examination are from aristocratic families, and there are also many candidates who fall in love with aristocratic families."

"Once these people cheat, they can punish the family severely." Zhao Chen said.

The officials responsible for invigilating the exam this time are all from the sixth grade or higher.

According to Zhao Chen's arrangement, Li Shimin specially transferred fifth-rank officials from the aristocratic family in order to take advantage of this autumn examination to take away some of the support from the aristocratic family.

Every time a noble family loses an official in the court, their foundation will be shaken a little bit more.

When it was almost done, the big tree of the family would fall to the ground with just a slight push.

After listening to Zhao Chen's words, Changsun Wuji felt horrified in his heart.

Although he had known for a long time that Zhao Chen and the emperor were going to take action against the aristocratic family, this was too blatant.

Let those people cheat as much as possible.

Find them all later.

This is totally an operation to trick pigs into killing them.

Zhao Chen is young, but his methods are very sophisticated.

"Then how do you know which candidate will cheat? And when will he cheat?" Li Shimin frowned.
