Chapter 115: Perfect answer! (Two more in one) (2/2)
The two were heading to the guest room when they heard the excited voices of the candidates coming from the lobby.
”Hey, have you heard about it? The Imperial College is about to be reopened in Beijing!”
”Really? Who told you?”
”Does this still need to be told? The emperor list has been posted! It is at the gate of the government office. If you don’t believe it, go and watch it yourself! Students with excellent grades will have the opportunity to enter the Imperial College after the government’s recommendation. First prize, then you can move to the Imperial College without a recommendation!”
Students are talents. Generally speaking, the junior three yuan can get the opportunity to recommend, if there is no junior three yuan, there is also a chance to win the case.
Feng Lin pulled Xiao Liulang's sleeve: ”Rokulang, you got two case chiefs!”
Although the hospital exam missed the case leader for some reason, he is still an excellent young student!
Feng Lin patted his thigh and said: ”Oh, I knew that you shouldn't have asked for that one thousand taels of silver, so you have to take the exam again! If you pass the junior three yuan, you will definitely be able to go to the Imperial College!”
Guozijian is the highest institution in Zhaoguo, and all students in the world are proud of entering the Guozijian.
Xiao Liulang's expression was very calm.
He stood on the stairs, listening to the hot discussion among the candidates in the lobby.
”But didn’t the Imperial College be closed down by your majesty himself? Because the Juvenile Jijiu was burned to death. Why did it suddenly reopen?”
”It was Taifu Zhuang who led several humeral ministers who knelt outside the Jinluan Temple. They knelt for three days and three nights before finally moving His Majesty.”
”Tao Fu Zhuang is really a loyal minister of Zhaoguo. His Majesty ordered the closure of the Imperial College, but all those who advised him were punished.”
”Tao Zhuang was not punished, right?”
Such a good official for the country and the people, candidates do not want him to get in trouble.
”How come? If you are punished, you won't reopen the Imperial College.”
Examinees, you have a word and a word, and the discussion is full of enthusiasm.
Xiao Liulang showed a suspicious and thoughtful look.
He soon lost the mood of listening to gossip, and returned to the house blankly.
Lin Chengye’s things have been cleaned up by Zhou Guan's staff. Xiao Liulang only cleaned up his own. The inn’s food and lodging weekly chores have been settled, so there is no need for the two of them to pay for it.
At night, Feng Lin wanted to eat the famous snacks in the provincial capital.
”I’ve been here for so long, so I don’t eat up my stomach. I eat all the dishes made in the small kitchen. I’m suffocated!” Feng Lin said aggrievedly.
When he accompanied Xiao Liulang to Fucheng for the exam, Feng Lin had a stomachache halfway through eating and drinking. Although it was an antidiarrheal medicine given by Gu Jiao, he was terrified in the end.
The country test is not trivial. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, several of them have been quite taboo.
Xiao Liulang just happened to want to buy something for his family, so he agreed to Feng Lin.
The streets of the provincial capital are wide and long. Four horse-drawn carriages drive side by side without being crowded at all. There are rows of shops on both sides and pedestrians one after another. It is really a prosperous scene.
Feng Lin looked at the lantern in the hands of the hawker, and said with envy: ”The provincial capital is really lively, much more lively than our county, and the Fucheng is not so lively.”
Xiao Liulang gave him a hum, which was a response to him.
Feng Lin looked forward to: ”What do you think the capital is like? The provincial capital is so lively, will the capital be more lively? Will the streets in the capital be wider and longer than this? There are more carriages? The shops are also bigger. ?”
”Yeah.” Xiao Liulang hummed again.
Feng Lin said weirdly: ”What are you doing? It looks like you have been there! Alas, I really want to go to the capital, I want to go in my dreams, as long as I can go once, I will die in my life without regrets!”
Xiao Liulang said indifferently: ”What's so good about Beijing? That's right and wrong.”
Feng Lin sighed and shook his head: ”You didn't pursue it, you don't understand!”
Guozijian is a sacred place for all scholars. If Feng Lin used to have only six points and wanted to go to the capital, now it is 10%. If he can go to the Guozijian in his life, he will study hard for more than ten years.
However, he still has self-knowledge, and because of his qualifications, he can't pass the test at all, and he won't be recommended by the government.
The specialty of the provincial capital is hemp sugar and donkey meat.
Feng Lin is not very interested in sugar, but donkey meat is quite greedy. The two of them came to an old donkey meat shop and came with two bowls of donkey broth, two donkey meat on fire, and a small bowl of braised donkey meat.
As the saying goes, donkey meat is fragrant and horse meat smells bad. If you don’t eat mule meat if you kill it, as long as the donkey meat is done, it will fragrant the whole street.
Feng Lin couldn’t wait to taste the braised donkey meat: ”Wow, it’s delicious!”
Xiao Liulang was accustomed to making mouths by Gu Jiao's craftsmanship, and at this time he also felt that this donkey meal was not bad.
After eating, the two called for the second to check out, but they were told that someone had settled it for them.
”Who is it?” Feng Lin asked, is it Lin Chengye? Isn't that right, isn't that kid returning home? Slipped out so soon? Did you follow them to the donkey meat shop? Don't eat at the same table with them, and only pay the bill secretly?
Xiao Er smiled and said, ”It's a master surnamed Liu.”
Xiao Liulang's face turned cold.
Feng Lin looked at Xiao Liulang: ”You know?”
Xiao Liulang said lightly: ”I don't know.”
Xiao Er smiled again: ”Master Liu said, he set up a small banquet in Zuiyun Building to entertain Young Master Xiao and your friends, and ask Young Master Xiao to show his face.”
”Ah, what am I going to do? It turns out to be another master who wants to get acquainted with you.” The eight-part essay that Xiao Liulang's mansion tried was too good, and there were many people who wanted to make friends along the way. Feng Lin naturally thought that This Master Liu is also one of them.
”Are you going?” Feng Lin asked.
”Not going.” Xiao Liulang stood up, ”Let's go, go back to the inn.”
”Oh.”
The two went to the inn for one night. The next day they planned to go to the car dealership to hire a useful carriage. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a man dressed as a small servant waiting outside with a smile: ”Is it Xiao Gongzi and Feng Gongzi? My master prepared a car and sent the two sons back to the county seat.”
”Who is your master?” Feng Lin asked.
”My master's surname is Liu.” Xiao Si replied.
Feng Lin muttered, ”Isn't it the one from yesterday?”
Feng Linchao glanced at the other's carriage, good fellow, it's more luxurious than the Lin family's carriage! This Master Liu has a lot of background!
”Don't sit down.” Xiao Liulang refused without thinking.
Feng Lin: ”...”
Good!
Talent and willful!
The two hired the fastest carriage, spent twice as much money as the other carriages, and went non-stop towards the county seat.
Lin Chengye left the Lin family early in the morning. He planned to give Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin a ride, but he was completely empty.
He sighed, I wonder if I can see you again in this life?
The township examination was over, and the inner curtain officials began to read the papers.
There are twelve inner curtain officers in groups of four. An examination paper is reviewed by the four inner curtain officers. If there is little discrepancy in opinions, the total score is, and those who are too controversial will be presented to the chief examiner and deputy chief. In front of the examiner, the two decided again.
The first test of the three classics and the five-character rhyme poem, the correct rate and handwriting were tested. In previous years, either the correct rate was high, but the handwriting was not good enough, or the handwriting was excellent but the correct rate was not as good as that of another candidate.
This year’s situation is a bit special. Some candidates turned in a perfect answer sheet!
A good question is not to say, the words are still written so that everyone is ashamed of it.
Well-deserved first game first.
”This year's ”Book of Filial Piety” has stumped many candidates.” An inner curtain officer smiled and said with emotion, ”Except for the one just now, I never saw the second one that wrote the ”Book of Filial Piety” correctly. Huh? Wait.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he found another very good answer sheet. Although it was not a good word, it was much stronger than the previous review, especially the ”Book of Filial Piety”, he wrote it all right!
The Nei Lian official across from him said: ”It's a coincidence, I also have someone here who has written the ”Book of Filial Piety” all right.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
This year’s test takers...A surprise surprise.
But when I read the second test paper, the atmosphere became tense.
The princes have always been the confidant of the imperial court. They were either the powerful dragons who had been entrenched in one party, and were given the title of vassal kings by the imperial court; or the fief princes with royal blood.
The former has military power, and the latter has blood, and it is a serious confession.
Will others be allowed to sleep on the side of the so-called couch? It was just that the imperial court did not have enough strength to kill these vassals, so most officials in the imperial court did not advocate cutting the vassal.
Xuanping Houfu has always been at odds with Taifu Zhuang, but on the issue of cutting the feudal clan, the two opinions are surprisingly consistent.
No one knows, this time the test questions were actually written by the emperor himself.
The emperor wanted to hear the voices of the people, and wanted to see the vision and disposition of the Zhaoguo students under his administration. The result was a lot of rainbow farts!
However, among these rainbow farts, there is a very good literary talent. Although he does not advocate cutting the vassal, he is not catering to the direction of the imperial court, but from the real pros and cons of the Zhaoguo current situation, he analyzed the possible effects of cutting the vassal in the short term. The consequences of coming, and how to get a win-win situation from the economy and the agricultural mulberry under the comfort policy.
This is an article that amazes all the inner curtain officials.
No surprises, the first of the second scene is it!
But soon, an examiner found another article that advocated cutting the faculty. The wording was so sharp, and the inner curtain officials turned pale.
Why didn’t this guy go directly to the Jinluan Temple to scold the emperor and the civil and military officials?
However, scolding is a terrible scolding, but the reasoning of analysis is also not at all faulty.
Originally, when I read that article, I still felt that the two sides cooperated for a win-win situation or a new way out. But after reading this article that advocated cutting the domination, I instantly felt that it was looking for skin with the tiger!
Do not cut the domain, Zhaoguo will be finished!
”Mother...” The deputy examiner squeezed the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly felt that Zhaoguo was in danger!
Is Zhaoguo really in danger right now?
Not too.
Only after a few decades, this may not be the case. This examinee contained all the crises decades later in a small essay, making everyone feel the consequences and fears of not cutting the domination. .
The skill of this child can be seen!
From the point of view of literary literacy and writing ability, this candidate won. The question is, do they dare to rank this kind of “warranty” or even rebellious article first?
If this is stabbed in front of the emperor, the emperor is angry, who can bear it?
The emperor just wanted to see what the candidates were doing, not really wanting to hear who would scold him.
The inner curtain officials hesitated.
”First, put it aside.” The examiner said.
This release was left for a long time, and even after the eight-legged essay in the third scene was changed, it was still not finalized which of the two articles should be the first.
A round of quizzes with prizes: Is the Liulang Rural Examination Association the number one?
A: Yes
B: No
