The Emperor had a headache, "Why did Courtier Kong let him enter the Highest Institute again?"
"He is talented, after all. Although we need to curb his ambition, we shouldn't aggrieve him too much. If his talent is sufficient for the Highest Institute, then naturally he should be allowed to enter."
What more could the Emperor say?
To suppress him, or to support him, it was all his doing.
The Emperor set Bai Shan's papers aside and started looking through the papers of others. At the end, when he didn't find another child's papers, he lightly coughed and asked, "Doesn't the Bai Family also have two seats? How is the scholarship of the other one?"
"Far worse," replied Libationer Kong, who had thoroughly understood all forty-eight students and had revised their papers; thus, once His Majesty brought it up, he knew exactly who he was referring to, since among the forty-eight, only two bore the surname Bai.
