Chapter 1649: Scholar Tao?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Treasure Bank was a matter for the national treasury. Shi Yuan had also said in the morning court that the plans he planned would bring huge profits to the national treasury every year. From then on, no one said that Prince Che should not manage the national treasury and use the money of the national treasury to invest in his people.

Naturally, he had dealt with a group of people who had used some methods to try to get their hands on the bank’s money.

Shi Yuan also issued an order to investigate Tao Jinyan’s matter thoroughly. Although it happened decades ago, it was still a case of cheating in the imperial examinations. The entire court was in an uproar when they learned about this.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Emperor had mentioned this matter, so it could be said that it was of great importance to uncover the issue. Those who were given the task of investigating this matter went to investigate this matter immediately.

Fortunately, cheating in the imperial examination was not something that could be done by one person. It involved a lot of people and was not impossible to eventually lead the line to the main cause.

He only had a small clue, but it was like pulling out a carrot and bringing it out of the mud. He slowly found out more about this case until he found out everything clearly.

They also found out that the person who replaced Tao Jinyan as a scholar was not capable enough and did not have enough knowledge to pass. Even if he got a small official position later, he was still a small official and could not be promoted. Even though he was old, he was still punished according to the laws of Da Chen.

As for those officials who allowed students to cheat in the imperial examination, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, they were all punished.

They had investigated everything.

Tao Jinyan should have been a scholar back then. He had wasted so many years, he was also already old. He could be considered to have half a foot in the coffin…

Shi Yuan was in the main hall. He had the newly appointed prefect of Lizhou personally lead some people to the Stone Village’s Tao Jinyan to congratulate him on his success in the imperial examination. He also gave him a scholar’s letter, as well as a notice that he would receive 20 silver and 30 acres of land under his name that would be tax-free.

Tao Jinyan would no longer be called Village Chief Tao. Instead, he would be called Scholar Tao or Scholar Duke.

Tao Jinyan held the red tray with the scholar’s document, 20 silver, and the tax exemption notice. He laughed and laughed before tears started streaming down his face.

The people of Stone Village were also crying and wiping their tears. All this time, their village chief only had this one knot in his heart in his life, and now it was untied.

The Heavens had truly opened their eyes to send the two immortals down to help. It must have been Xue Yan and Jiang Yue who had asked the Emperor to meddle. Otherwise, how would the Emperor know about this?

Tao Zhen’s tears kept falling.

At this moment, the magistrate took out a yellow imperial edict. “The Emperor has an edict. Tao Zhen, accept it.”

Tao Zhen was shocked and quickly took off his hat and knelt.

The people of Stone Village had never seen this kind of power before. They only knew that they had to kneel as well, so they hurriedly followed suit. Tao Jinyan naturally knelt as well.

The man read out, “Tao Zhen of Stone Village. His father was cheated in the imperial examination and wasted many years struggling. He still has the intention to serve the country through the imperial examination. His ambition can be seen. Today, he is allowed to participate in the imperial examination without entering any academy. I hope everyone can be like Tao Zhen. Even in the face of adversity, he is determined and not discouraged. He has hope for this world.”

“Thank you, Emperor!” Tao Zhen was extremely happy to be able to participate in the imperial examination without entering the Academy. He bowed, but in the next second, he cried again… All the pain, including his father’s pain, surged into his heart… All the suffering… It was not that he did not suffer… Many people suffered, and many people suffered more than him… Many people had it worse than his father… However, no matter what, he still clung to the small hope in this world…
