Chapter 2190 The Audacious Meng Yunzheng

Meng Yuncheng was not afraid. Even under the emperor's gaze, his writing became more and more smooth.

But other people sitting near him were breaking out in cold sweat. They almost couldn't control themselves and turned around to kneel down and salute the emperor. With the Nine-Fifth Emperor standing next to him, it was simply a test of one's inner endurance.

The emperor saw that Meng Yunzheng had finished writing a paragraph, and then he said, "I heard that you won five yuan in a row. Do you think the result of this last exam will be as you wish?"

The emperor started to speak, but Meng Yunzheng could only stand up, cupped his hands and said, "Students don't know, students just try their best in every exam."

The emperor chuckled lightly, "Are you really going all out? Why doesn't it look like it to me? You just started writing not long after reviewing the question, so it seems that my question is not difficult at all."

Other candidates screamed crazily in their hearts: It is difficult, but it is not difficult anymore. Your Majesty, please wake up.

Other ministers who were paying attention to them looked at each other in confusion: What did the emperor mean by this? Why did it feel like the emperor didn't like Meng Huiyuan very much.

I don't know if it was their misunderstanding, but the emperor's tone seemed to be thorny.

Could it be that Meng Yunzheng offended many people by thanking guests behind closed doors some time ago, and some people came to apply eye drops in front of the emperor?

Everyone had different thoughts, but the eyes they looked at Meng Yunzheng were very complicated.

When Meng Yuncheng heard the emperor's question, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He replied very respectfully, "The students really gave their best."

Everyone, "..." Are you serious? You are talking to the emperor. Faced with the emperor's 'question', you should kneel down in fear and apologize!

However, after the emperor looked at him deeply, he finally said 'hmm', "Okay, you can continue."

"yes."

So Meng Yuncheng sat back again and continued writing without any distractions.

The emperor said nothing more and went back to sit on the dragon throne.

The candidates sitting around Meng Yunzheng secretly exhaled a long breath, finally not so nervous.

The palace examination lasted only one day. The emperor only looked in the Zichen Palace at first, then left, and came back again in the middle.

When the sun sets, all candidates put down their pens and start handing in papers.

All the files were sealed and stored, and the candidates walked out of the hall one after another.

Even though it was only one day, many candidates looked weak when they came out. In fact, it is not difficult for them to make such a policy for their position, but the pressure is really great.

Some people wiped their sweat and felt a sense of relief.

After coming out of that tense atmosphere, when everyone looked back at the scene during the exam, they couldn't help but think of the subtle conversation between the emperor and Meng Yunzheng.

Slowly, the candidates all distanced themselves from Meng Yunzheng. There seemed to be a vacuum around him, and no one wanted to walk with him.

But when they were about to reach the exit, the man from earlier ran to Meng Yunzheng again and whispered, "You are so brave. You can talk to the emperor without stumbling. Were you nervous at that time?"

Meng Yuncheng already knew this person's name, and he was surprised that he came close to him.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that the emperor's words meant nothing to him. But people who didn't know him well felt that the emperor was deliberately targeting him, and they were afraid of being implicated by him, so they naturally kept away from him.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just replying normally. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you won't blame me."
