Chapter 148: Loyal and virtuous, loyal and virtuous

"Gou Rixin, Ri Xin, Ri Xin" is from "University".

It is said that this is the proverb engraved on the bath tub by the king of Shang Tang, which can be summed up as the meaning of diligence and self-saving.

The topic, let's say it's difficult, it's not difficult, it's in "University". It's difficult, it's difficult, the third child of the Wei family hasn't read this sentence.

No, you can only stare dryly, who let the good minister not learn and have no skills.

After staring, he quietly looked around and found that the other candidates were concentrating on answering the questions.

When queuing outside the examination room, Liangchen finally found comfort. Because there are many candidates who are the same age as him and even older than him, the eldest one heard that his son came to send the test.

From this point of view, there are many people in the world who are stupider than Wei Liangchen.

Some candidates are as difficult as him, and they also find ways to keep writing and deleting on the test paper, and they have to piece together an answer no matter what.

It's good to be a good minister, don't do anything, and see the Western scenery.

In his eyes, in the third row of the front left, that junior Liu Mingxin was writing answers on scratch paper.

On the way here, Liangchen listened to Ma Xiucai's comments, and they all said that this time Liu Mingxin was expected to pass the government examination and successfully enter the hospital examination.

I vaguely remember that when this little guy went to social school with a runny nose, Liangchen was going to take the government exam in high spirits. On that occasion, he made a few wrong words in the hadith and was not selected, and then, somehow, he suddenly lost the desire to read.

Since then, Liangchen has followed a gang of scoundrels in the countryside, ruined his reputation, and was completely driven out of social studies by Wu Fuzi, cutting off his imperial examination. Later, the people who called the Taifu Temple Horse Factory broke their legs.

But think about it carefully, if Wei Liangchen hadn't been so ghostly, maybe Li Zirong wouldn't have the good fortune to be a nine-thousand-year-old nephew.

It's just that now I see the junior brother waving ink there, judging from his pen action, there is no pause, and I want to think about the Chinese thinking in my chest.

Looking at himself again, he took the pen and took it, and he recognized the words on the paper, but he didn't know how to do it.

This contrast is really depressing.

cheating, Liangchen doesn't want to do it, because he doesn't have any materials for this at all. Besides, you can't bring it in.

Although it is a children's test, when you enter the examination room, there are still searchers to check the candidates one by one.

The table in this examination room is also placed in a regular manner, how many distances are fixed, and there are invigilators patrolling back and forth on both sides from time to time, and Liangchen just wants to peek at other people's answers, and he can't reach it. Even if you have enough and copy it, you will be unlucky. Because there is no standard answer, it is impossible to have two identical exam papers at the same time.

If you can't copy someone else's, you can't just do it, what is it to hand in a blank scroll, I, Wei Liangchen, am not Zhang Tiesheng.

Niang Xipi, it is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go, love yesterday and yesterday, it's a big deal that the master won't take this road.

Thinking of this, Liangchen turned his heart sideways, dipped the brush in some ink, and then racked his brains, and finally thought of how to write the first sentence, but time passed minute by minute, and he finally failed to fall.

The first sentence is there, what about the second sentence?

This imperial examination is not an essay question for later generations, and three points will be given for writing a question. You make a few mistakes, and they don't qualify.

It's better not to write a joke than to write it.

That's it, don't dream big daydreaming, don't look at what materials you have, occasionally pretend to be a force, really pull out the yo-yo, the original form is exposed.

If you don't take the test, you won't kill your head anyway!

Liangchen "exhaled" and exhaled the depression in his chest, threw the pen aside, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

This will, hate the saying that he didn't submit the paper in advance, otherwise the good minister would have slipped home early.

As for what his father said yesterday, can it still be done?

I couldn't stay at home, so I went to Beijing to find Baba.

All avenues lead to Beijing, and the living can still suffocate to death.

………

As the main exam, Chen Lun, the prefect of Hejian, of course, could not wander around the examination room like an invigilator. His duty is to sit in charge, and when the exam is completed, he will have a special person to mark the papers, and then submit the excellent exam papers to him for grading. Before that, he didn't have to do anything.

Chen Lun's deputy, Liu Guotai, a fellow acquaintance of Hejian, was also in the examination room, and the two of them were drinking tea and chatting in the public room.

Chen Lun was born in the 32nd year of Wanli, first served as a magistrate, and was promoted to Tongzhi before his term of office expired. Compared with Yan Liang of Suning Zhixian County, Liu Guotai's official fortune is obviously much more prosperous.

The prefect and Tongzhi are together, and what they are talking about is the recent land acquisition event, and the other is the two test centers of Jinghai and Cangzhou.

"I've read Jinghai's volume, but I haven't read Cangzhou's yet, and it's about the same, it's plain and upright, and there are no novel articles."

Chen Lun is a little regretful, that is, he was unable to serve as an official in Nanzhili, and he can't see many young talents. Thinking about Nan Zhili, how many good test papers emerge every year, these papers are bought by booksellers, reprinted and sold to the whole country, I don't know how much money they make. I heard that the mimeograph room and the economic factory in the inner court clerkship also took a fancy to this financial road, and they had a lot of trouble with those merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

"The style of writing is strong in the south and weak in the north, my north is not as good as the south is not as good as the south is straight, and adults don't have to mind." Liu Guotai laughed, Chen Lun has a background in the inner court, and he also has it, and this background is not weaker than Chen Lun at all, because he is riding a concubine.

To be precise, Liu Guotai was promoted to Tongzhi if he was able to be a county magistrate, relying on Zheng Guifei's younger brother. The younger brother of this concubine has the same name as Liu Guotai and is called Zheng Guotai. However, if the name is the same and the surname is different, the identity of the two is destined to be very different.

Of course, Chen Lun knew the background of his deputy, and he didn't have much resistance, after all, his godfather Jin Zhong and the concubine Niangniang were also close.

"But this time, I may not be out of talent." Thinking of that Wei Liangchen, Chen Lun couldn't help but chuckle, he attached great importance to this.

After getting Wei Liangchen out of prison for Suning a month ago, Chen Lun wrote a letter to Admiral Xuezheng Huang Yanshi, in which he did not say anything about Wei Liangchen's imprisonment, but only said that he had solved the matter of guaranteeing the young man.

A few days later, Huang Yanshi wrote back to Chen Lun, and the letter only mentioned Chen Lun's help in two or three words, and he didn't seem to take it to heart. It's just that Huang Yanshi's letter unintentionally mentioned that the Donglin Party wanted to push Huaifu Li San to enter the cabinet recently, which made Chen Lun very excited.

Although it is only a mention, the meaning of this is worth scrutinizing.

To some extent, Chen Lun believed that this was Huang Yanshi reaching out to him on behalf of the Chu Party. This made him feel that Suning's trip was not in vain.

Wei Liangchen helped him a lot.

After the government examination, about five days later, Huang Yanshi will go to Hejian to preside over the hospital examination.

Chen Lun will not break his promise, as long as Wei Liangchen's volume can be done, it is not good, and he will also give the young man a first-class comment.

Now, he waited to see if the boy could still write such a wonderful article as the boy said.

If you can, it will be more beautiful.

Liu Guotai heard something about Wei Liangchen, but he didn't think much about it, just said that this prefect really cherished Confucianism. There is a big matter to do in front of him, that is, Zheng Guotai is coming to Hejian.

The concubine's younger brother did not make a special trip to Hejian, but to Jiangnan.

The news from Beijing said that since the demon book case, the concubine Niangniang has been haunted by her heart, and she has always been angry that her name was smeared by Shilin. Therefore, I wanted my younger brother to go to Jiangnan to hire one or two celebrities in person, and at the expense of a lot of money, I also wanted to eliminate the bad influence of the demon book case on her Zheng family. Whether there is the current emperor's instruction behind this matter is unknown.

Zheng Guotai went to Jiangnan on the order of his sister, and in addition to doing business, he naturally had to fight the autumn breeze by the way. Here in Hejian Mansion, Liu Guotai will definitely not be able to escape.

………

In the examination room, the good minister, who was originally a good minister who closed his eyes and recuperated, fell asleep in a daze.

Since ancient times, it is not that there are no people who sleep in the examination room, but that there are many people.

These candidates could not answer the papers, and they could not leave the venue early, so they could only lie down and sleep.

Otherwise, what else can you do?

But there are fewer people who can dream when they sleep, and even fewer who can dream so earth-shattering!

Liangchen had such an earth-shattering dream.

In the dream, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse actually took his hand and praised him: "Da Wei is really capable, loyal to me, and has great talent, if it weren't for Da Wei you, I wouldn't have tasted what this emperor did... Why don't I change your name? ”

"I don't know what name the emperor wants to change for me?" The good minister in the dream was really excited about the emperor's appreciation.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao tilted his head and thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "What do you think of the name Zhongxian?" ”

Before Liangchen could answer, his second uncle was overjoyed: "Loyal and virtuous, loyal and virtuous!" ”

"Poof!"

Liangchen was choked up by his own saliva, Nima, you Zhu Youxiao changed me from a good minister to a loyal one, didn't you say that I was a young Chitose and became a real Chitose!

Subconsciously touched his bird, it was still there, and Liangchen was relieved.

This dream does not bode well.

Liangchen took a sip, even if the sky fell, it was impossible for him to sell his bird.

Looking up, there are many candidates who have already finished answering the papers and are waiting to collect them. There are also many candidates who, like him, have just woken up.

The hour is approaching, and there is an invigilator in the examination room loudly reminding the candidates who have not finished the papers.

Is the time coming?

Liangchen habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch, and found that there was nothing on his wrist.

Looking at the test paper on the table again, it was still blank.

After thinking about it, I can't pass the exam anyway, so I just have a "visit here".

Just write about what, you can't really write about Wei Liangchen's visit here.

After thinking about it, he thought of it, so he wrote with great interest: "Scholars, the most poor; Abuse of time, rotten as mud. The country was originally a plan to seek talents, but who knew that it had become a trick to deceive people. Three sentences to cover the topic, two sentences to solve the topic. Swinging his tail and shaking his head, he said that he was the senior brother of the Holy Gate. can know what kind of article the three links and four histories are; Han ancestor Tang Zong was the emperor of that dynasty.

Put a high-headed sermon on the case, buy a new science sharp weapon in the store, read it on the shoulders and back, sigh at the corners of the mouth, bagasse, chew and chew, what is the taste? If you live up to the time and fall into a coma during the day, you will teach and deceive high-ranking officials, and it is also the bad luck of the people's court. ”

After writing, the interest was still strong, and I simply retitled the five-character poem:

"My name is Wei Liangchen, and I have my own way to serve the country.

Don't make eight-strand texts, and treat them as useful people. ”

……

Author's note: This book is not a text on the imperial examination, and the details about the imperial examination are not involved. If there are several government exams, and there are several tests, only one will be recorded in this article.

In addition, I think I am slow and speed up.
