In the spring of the 20th year of Wanli, Shen Zhiwei squeezed into the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette with the top three grades.
On his first day on duty, he mistakenly mistook his boss Li Dongyang's "tea extension" as a "reserved guest" and chatted about farming for three hours.
Li Shangshu held the tea cup, his fingertips turning white: "Is this kid... Really stupid or just pretending?"
Soon, there was an undercurrent of fraud in the examination room, and secret messages were delivered through pigeon whistles.
Shen Zhiwei frowned as he listened to the familiar whistle: "The word "" is three long, the word "" is two short... The word "actually there" is the joint?"
He released a well-trained love pigeon, intercepted the secret message, and replaced the "joint code" with "the examinee next door cheated."
The examiner discovered the scandal on the spot and the fraud case surfaced.
Zhao Xiezi was jealous and falsely accused him: "Shen Zhiwei keeps pigeons privately and is collaborating with the enemy!"
Above the golden palace, Shen Zhiwei stroked the pigeon feathers, and the whistle sounded clearer and clearer.
The pigeons circled and actually spelled out a huge word "loyalty to the king" in mid-air.
Emperor Wanli put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Genius! You should be rewarded!"
Shen Zhi lowered his head slightly, and the fingertips in his sleeves were slightly cold - the water in officialdom was deeper than he imagined.
