Qi Heng's parents wanted to know the reason for Qi Heng's failure, so they went to visit the examiner. Gu Yankai also came because he wanted to find out.
The examiner said that Qi Heng's essay was colorful but lacked the backbone. If he practiced hard, he would be able to reach high school in the future. However, Gu Tingye's essay was magnificent and logically speaking, he should not have failed.
But when the emperor heard that Gu Tingye was complaining about Yang Wuduan, who was addicted to Huajieliuxiang, he not only removed him from the top three, but also made him, like Yang Wuduan, take the scientific examination fifty years later.
