Chapter 253: Scum (1/2)

Chapter 253 Abuse

Everyone was confused by Xuan Pinghou's actions.

what's going on? Dignified Xuanping Hou will actually tidy up clothes for an examinee? This is not as simple as an ordinary love. Generally speaking, only people with very close relationships or those who value themselves especially.

Xiao Liulang's reputation in the whole capital may not be considered big, but he was completely famous in the imperial examination circle. He came from a poor family, but he was tied for the first place with King An in Chunwei, which made him famous.

In addition, he is not good at it, which makes people pay more attention to him.

He is very recognizable, after all, there is no second **** to participate in the palace exam.

Most people’s first reaction when they see him is, this kid is too good-looking, right? The second reaction is how to be a cripple? And after the two reactions, this little lame was actually admitted to Huiyuan?

Everyone regretted him, admired him, and dismissed him...In short, the emotions were very complicated.

But no one in the room could predict that he would be in the eyes of Xuanpinghou.

That’s right, even if Xuan Pinghou showed his respect for Xiao Liulang, no one guessed about the relationship between them.

Everyone murmured secretly, isn’t Xuan Pinghou a general? Isn't he most despised of those sour scholars? How many outstanding talents have been produced in Lijie Chunwei, how can you not see that Xuan Pinghou favors any of them?

Which point of this little **** touched Xuan Pinghou, so that Xuan Pinghou, who had never been in the early morning, got up early to send him into the examination room?

Xiao Liulang is still the same, there is no joy or gratitude.

Xuanping Hou was not upset, still tidying up his clothes with a special spirit.

Xuan Pinghou has never been a very competent father. He spends most of his time in the military camp and cares little about his son at home.

Xiao Heng was able to become the most talented young man in the capital. In addition to his extraordinary talent, the rest is basically the credit of Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang is a kind mother and a strict mother. She has read poems and books since she was a child. She hopes that her son will be full of economics in the future. She taught him carefully, so there is Xiao Heng in the eyes of the world.

When Xiao Heng was very young, he waited at the gate of the mansion every day to recite poems to him.

But he always came back very late, and Xiao Heng fell asleep on the threshold.

Or it was Xiao Heng's back, he listened perfunctorily, nodded and said yes, Xiao Xiao Heng was very angry and said, ”You didn't listen, you didn't listen! I clearly recited three words wrong!”

The young and energetic Xuan Pinghou could not lose face in front of his son, so in order to conceal his talents and lack of learning, he bluffed at his son: ”What's so great about memorizing poems? Man husband, go to battle, kill the enemy, defend the country. Ability! Can you use a gun or dance a knife?”

Xiao Heng was very injured.

Xuan Pinghou hadn't learned how to be a good father, Xiao Heng died in the fire, and only he knew how much he regretted.

Xuan Pinghou looked at Xiao Liulang, who was expressionless, and lost his senses for a moment. After a while, he recovered, patted Xiao Liulang on the shoulder, and squeezed his sleeves: ”Go in.”

The first time he sent someone into the examination room, he didn't have much experience, and he didn't know how to do it, so he just got off the wagon and learned this from Mr. Zhuang Taifu and Yuan Shoufu.

Xiao Liulang went in without looking back.

Du Ruohan was a little dumbfounded behind Xiao Liulang. He was the closest person to Xuanpinghou except Xiao Liulang. Xuanpinghou was taller and more handsome than the rumors. His gestures were all extravagant, and his eyes were deep and heavy.

This is a man who can stand beside him without fear of falling apart.

The aura is too strong, and Du Ruohan feels that he is about to suffocate.

But such a powerful man stopped for Xiao Liulang and treated Xiao Liulang like a parent.

Du Ruohan is crazy to death, so jealous! What kind of **** luck is this guy?

Xiao Liulang didn't know that he had been reaping Du Ruohan's jealous little white eyes along the way. They entered the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and found their place according to the exam number, no different from the quiz.

The hall test only takes one day and only one test. The papers will be issued at four o'clock in the morning, and the papers will be collected in the afternoon. The papers can be handed in in advance. No food is allowed in the middle, nor is it allowed to prepare dry food.

The physical fitness of the candidates who have passed the rural and meeting examinations is good, and they will not get sick after being hungry for a day. The only thing they worry about is that they will not perform well.

After all, today is the emperor’s personal invigilation. The emperor will come here in the morning and after the next morning, but no one knows how long the morning will be. In case he writes and writes, the emperor suddenly appears behind him——

That scene, thinking about it, was pretty lame.

After a series of tedious visits to worship, the examination officially began. Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette distributed test papers for each candidate. The Shangshu Book of the Ministry of Etiquette, Hongyou Temple Qing, and the four cabinet scholars sat on the stools on both sides of the examination room. There is a table and chair in the middle, which should be reserved for the emperor.

In addition to these invigilators, there are also the Imperial Guard and the eunuchs on duty. Therefore, although there is no separate examination booth, it is difficult to cheat under so many eyes.

Furthermore, the policy question is not a dead question like the post scripture, and cheating is of little significance.

Xiao Liulang quickly got his own test paper, this is the emperor's question-ask the emperor's government and the emperor's heart, why Anbang to govern the country?

After experiencing the proposition sent by the feudal dynasty and the dynasty Changxian, this question appears to be much gentler, at least no answer can be wrong, at least it is whether the content of the talk has a practical effect.

It can be exaggerated, as long as the writing is gorgeous enough; you can also cut the current disadvantages and have a clear banner.

The emperor is selecting talents, but these candidates have never been officials. To put it bluntly, they are all on paper. The emperor does not expect to solve the problems that the civil and military officials have not solved in a palace test, otherwise so many experienced officials are needed. What does the imperial court commander do?

The pattern of an examinee that the emperor really wanted to see.

The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and how big a person’s structure is, how wide the road will be in the future.

Most candidates are not aware of this, they are racking their brains, scratching their heads and thinking about the new way of governing the country.

Xiao Liulang didn't worry about writing, he first typed up a draft.

He actually has no habit of writing drafts, but drafts are an important piece of evidence when checking results.

He deliberated the wording, deleted, deleted, and subtracted. After about an hour, he began to answer the paper formally.

This is a policy question. Before answering the question, you must write a courtier pair, indicating that you are answering the emperor’s question.

”Chen right:

In the case of the emperor, there must be the real governance of the manager, and then the people can be restrained, intricately intricate, there must be the rule of Yongxi; there must be a solid heart of advocacy, and then it can inspire all workers and vibrate general affairs. There is a reason to reach Zhilong.

Li Ji Gang, Fu Fa Du, Hang Zhu Xiang Wei’s Table, written in Ling Jia, first in Yanlang Chaoning, scattered in Baifu of Zhusi, **** on Junguo Haiyu, Jing Zhiwei, Hong Juxian, There is no lack of equipment, full and thorough, and there is no leakage.

What is solidity? Vibrating laziness, inspiring shrewdness, originating in the deep, between the secrets, beginning in the palace and the Muqing, the wind in the borders of the country, permeating the frontiers, the depravity and the harmony, the spiritual intention , All are unobstructed, the skin is skeletal, and the one who has no frustration is also...”

Xiao Liulang mainly emphasized the importance of governing the country according to law and implementing real governance. Laws and regulations must permeate the people, and the voice of the people must be heard by heaven.

At the same time, it also proposed to educate the people with Confucianism, vigorously punish corrupt officials, and fill the treasury.

Of course, he also emphasized that the emperor is the emperor, and everything he does is ordered by the sky-to grant officials is to appoint virtuous people for the sky, and to eliminate the evil is to fight against the sinful for the sky. Everything is the right way.

Compared with the sharpness of the previous exams, Xiao Liulang's words this time are much milder.

After all, someone has bet all his wealth, so he can’t just take care of his own wayward figure.

Xiao Liulang realized that this question was really difficult after he wrote it. The ease when everyone first got the test paper was gone. Everyone was immersed in writing and no one turned in the paper in advance.

Xu was too devoted, even the emperor stood behind Xiao Liulang for a while without even noticing Xiao Liulang.

From the emperor’s perspective, only one skull of Xiao Liulang could be seen.

The emperor didn't look at it for too long. He didn't have the evil taste of putting pressure on the candidates in the examination room. He just came in and happened to pass by Xiao Liulang and saw Xiao Liulang's delicate handwriting.

He glanced hurriedly, writing well.

looked at the candidate's name-Xiao Liulang.

Oh, is that the poor student who ranks first with King An?

There is a cane next to it. Is it injured or disabled?

Actually, the officials elected in this dynasty looked a little bit faceless. The main reason was that Xuan Pinghou’s personal appearance heightened the emperor’s aesthetics of civil and military officials. It was too ugly to let him go outside after a few years.

The emperor was a little disappointed when he saw the crutches, he was worried that the other person was not looking good.

It’s not that the emperor only looks at his face, and Lao Jijiu does not look good. He can still be photographed by the emperor. It is really that Lao Jijiu is too powerful.

The emperor quickly walked past Xiao Liulang and sat on the front chair.

The invigilators all knew that the candidate was noticed by the emperor, but they didn’t know whether the impression was good or bad.

After the emperor sat on the invigilator seat, he did not pay attention to Xiao Liulang. After all, he was too far away to see clearly.

He asked people to bring the memorial, and silently review the memorial while invigorating the exam, and waited until the end of the exam.

The examinees got up and saluted the emperor. The emperor randomly ordered a few examinees and asked a few questions. The grandsons of King An and Yuan Shoufu were all ordered.

Xiao Liulang was not spotted.

You three minutes later, everyone left the palace.

Don’t look at the exam for one day, but everyone is more tired than the township exam and Chunwei.

Except for a few candidates, most people have never seen the emperor in their lives. Under the same roof with the emperor, they almost can’t write even words.

”So nervous.” Feng Lin's back was soaked.

His exam number is relatively high, he sits in the first row, that is really under the emperor’s eyelids, but he dared not look up at the emperor, for fear of being punished with disrespectful charges.

”I feel like I failed the exam. I don't even know what I'm writing later.”

He said dejectedly.

Du Ruohan comforted: ”Don't be discouraged, everyone is the same as you, your Majesty has forgotten what was in his mind.”

The emperor was still sympathetic to them. He only came after noon, and everyone's drafts were almost done at that time, otherwise he would sit there from the beginning and ensure that half of the people couldn't even type the drafts.

When the emperor stood behind Xiao Liulang, he was also shocked. The two of them were sitting next to each other. Behind Xiao Liulang was in front of him. He could smell the ambergris on the emperor, and his scalp made waves of nervousness. hemp.

However, thanks to being stimulated by Xuan Pinghou early in the morning, it seems that I can bear it a little bit better.

”How did Liulang test?” Feng Lin asked Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang said: ”It's okay, I have written everything I think about.”

Feng Lin asked Du Ruohan and Lin Chengye again. The performance of the two is considered normal, but the subjectivity of the policy question is too great. Whether or not they can be admitted to the top list depends on the preferences of the examiners.

This is not what they can control, they can only do their best to obey the fate.

A group of people returned home.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the scoring officers began to review the test papers. Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette and Hongyousiqing served as the chief and vice presidents, and the four cabinet scholars served as the scoring officers. This time the test papers will not be reviewed in groups. It was reviewed by six people.

The top 20 in total will be sent to the emperor.

Chunwei's good exam does not mean that he can do well in the palace exam. Being able to hold the emperor's coercive and stable performance is part of it, and it happens to be part of his field of expertise.

However, candidates like Xiao Liulang who had tied for the first place with Junwang An, got the emperor’s attention, not to mention that the emperor stayed beside him for a while during the palace exam.

Therefore, if his test paper is not in the top twenty, the emperor will definitely ask, and it is likely that someone will bring his test paper over to see how it falls out of the top twenty.

The examination papers of the palace examination will not be copied. After all, they have to be presented to the emperor. The emperor needs to see the candidates’ handwriting. However, they will simply paste their names before they are presented to the emperor. In other words, the examiners will not see the candidates’ names.

But if you want to see it sincerely, it's not difficult.

What's more, after the quiz, some examinees' handwriting has been written down by the examiners.

Xiao Liulang's test paper soon arrived in the hands of Hongyousiqing. He recognized at a glance that it was Xiao Liulang's character, and Taifu Zhuang had already given an order not to let Xiao Liulang suppress King Anjun.

If Xiao Liulang's article is not good enough to pose a threat to King An, Hongyousiqing will safely put him in the top 20.

But obviously, Xiao Liulang's article is too brilliant.

This is an article that cannot be spotted by examiners of any taste, and it is definitely a huge threat to King An.

In the time to eat, Hongyousiqing quietly went to Gongfang.

Near Gongfang, Mrs. Zhuang has been waiting for a long time.
