Chapter 295 Who are you?
Shen Qingshan felt the gazes of everyone.
He wanted to do something, but at this moment, his body was not controlled by his brain at all. He wanted to move, but he couldn't even move his eyelids.
The person on the stage was still reciting the contents of the article aloud.
After listening to this, even those who didn't know about the palace examination questions would have understood something of it.
What this Confucian scholar recited sounded very pleasant to the ears.
In particular, it also talks about the improvement of the recommendation policy for employing people in the imperial court.
Some people who had ideas in their minds became excited after hearing this.
Song Qingci listened with great interest. Although she was the one who came up with the idea, it was also the first time she heard the content of the test questions. It must be said that Shen Mozhu was indeed a top student.
He could even memorize the things he had written for such a long time without missing a word. And the content was really good. Even she felt that it was not just empty rhetoric, but a policy that could really be implemented.
Emperor Chengtian's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, and even Eunuch Guo beside him couldn't understand it.
I didn't understand what he was thinking at the moment, so I had to wait on him obediently, without saying a word.
No matter how stupid King Huai was, he knew that something serious had happened. Moreover, he was never stupid, but pretended to be stupid.
However, there were people at the scene with higher status and identity than him.
That person didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to speak at this time.
The contents of several pages of manuscript were finally recited by Shen Mozhu in a sonorous and powerful voice in such an occasion.
After carrying him on his back, he did not step down from the stage. Instead, he bowed deeply in the direction of King Huai and the others, and then remained bent at 90 degrees without moving.
The scene fell into silence.
None of the officials in the front said a word, and the people behind were even less willing to speak.
Even the people who were eating stopped moving.
For a moment, everything was silent.
''Who are you? ''
Suddenly, the cold voice of Emperor Chengtian came, like a sword piercing the sky, giving everyone a chance to breathe.
The corners of Shen Mozhu's mouth hidden under the mask curled up slightly, and the nervous feeling in his heart that had begun to emerge also dissipated instantly.
He bowed again along his bent back, then stood up and reached out to touch the mask on his face.
The mask slowly fell off, and an extremely handsome face appeared in front of Emperor Chengtian and King Huai.
King Huai was fine, he just thought the young man in front of him was very outstanding, and matched his performance just now. King Huai had a good impression of talented people.
However, Emperor Chengtian and Eunuch Guo behind him both had an incredible look on their faces when they looked at the face under the mask.
Before they could speak, Shen Mozhu's voice was heard.
"The student, Shen Mozhu, is from Taoyuan County, Bianzhou, and is a candidate for this special examination."
Shen Mozhu's voice was not special, but to other people who knew the situation it sounded like thunder.
The name Shen Mozhu is familiar not only to the adults at the scene, but also to some ordinary people.
That’s the third place winner of this year’s imperial examination!
The common people were very excited. To them, Shen Mozhu was just a name or a code name. They didn't know the person, but they had heard of the name.
Prince Huai is indeed very capable. Even the third place winner came in person to present a gift to him.
No wonder the gift is reciting an article. He is the god of literature, so it is normal to recite an article as a gift.
However, when adults heard this name, it was a completely different story.
Shen Qingshan staggered and fell directly to the ground.
The table where he was sitting suddenly became chaotic.
Emperor Chengtian ignored the panic below. He stared straight at Shen Mozhu on the stage and said, "You are Shen Mozhu? How do you prove it?"
This face was indeed exactly the same as the Shen Mozhu he had seen before.
"The test questions I just recited are proof of this." Shen Mozhu said with neither humility nor arrogance, then turned to face the crowd, pointed at Shen Qingshan who was still slumped on the ground and said loudly, "I am Shen Mozhu. What I just recited was the answer sheet I wrote for the Enke Palace Examination, and he is called Shen Qingshan. He is just my fellow villager."
If the name Shen Mozhu is a thunderbolt.
What he said now was like a bolt of lightning.
Not only Shen Qingshan was struck, but also everyone at the scene.
Shen Qingshan had already been so panicked that he didn't know what to do, but he was not the only one who knew about the imperial examination.
There are quite a few invigilators, examiners, and judges here today.
The psychological endurance of these people varies.
One of them who was not very strong in psychological endurance jumped out at this moment, pointed at Shen Mozhu on the stage and scolded, "Where did this madman come from! Don't think that just because you look a bit like Shen Tanhua, you can lie! Slandering an official of the court is a capital crime!"
This person was none other than one of the invigilators of this special examination.
It's not that he has to come forward at this time, but if what Shen Mozhu said is true, then it will be a disaster for those of them who participated in this special examination!
Cheating in the imperial examination and impersonation.
Even a man ranked among the three highest officials in the country could not bear this charge, let alone a low-ranking official like him.
Shen Mozhu was very calm at this moment.
Before coming here again, he had prepared himself mentally for a long time. He was also prepared for what he would face. He didn't take these few harmless scoldings to heart at all.
Emperor Chengtian only then glanced at Shen Qingshan, who was completely at a loss, and asked, "Shen Tanhua, what do you have to say?"
Shen Qingshan, who was named, couldn't pretend to be unconscious even if he wanted to.
Before, he had never thought that the Emperor's eyes were so sharp.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Qingshan kept saying "Your Majesty" for a long time, but he didn't say a single useful word.
It was also at this time that everyone discovered that the face of this Shen Tanhua was exactly the same as the face of the man on the stage who called himself Shen Mozhu.
Some people with poor eyesight squinted their eyes and looked carefully between the two of them.
The more I looked, the more surprised I was.
Emperor Chengtian said to the guards beside him, "Go and bring him up."
"Yes." The guard who was called happened to be Shan Heng.
Shan Heng walked off the stage and picked up Shen Qingshan with one hand.
Then, regardless of his posture, he carried him directly to the platform, gently let go of his hand, and he fell beside Shen Mozhu.
Two people with the same face now appeared on the stage. Everyone in the audience could see them clearly.
This scene was a great stimulation to everyone.
