The last test was poetry.

Su Yan had a headache about this, so he struggled, and finally wrote five songs, and slowly revised and selected.

He had to thank Shen An for his questioning tactics, which made him, a weak man in poetry, gradually become stronger.

It is not easy for poetry to be brilliant, and after being positioned as an irrelevant subject by Fan Zhongyan, it accounts for a relatively small amount, and it only needs to be decent.

In the past, poetry was the first one, and if you didn't pass the test, you could go home. And now the first one is a strategy.

That's a positive change.

When the feeding time came, someone shouted, "Stop......"

Suddenly there was a wail, and some people were begging for more time, but the people who were patrolling the field walked over, grabbed his test papers, and began to chase people.

Su Yan didn't know how he wrote, but he saw Fan Zhen again.

Fan Zhen came retrograde in the crowd of people who appeared, and then took a chance to glance at Su Yan's exam papers, and then turned back.

Wang Jue was waiting for him, his eyes cold.

"No cheating!"

Fan Zhen nodded and said, "Absolutely not, just an estimate." ”

Wang Jue's face was slightly pale, and he said: "Articles and poems are the way of saints, and they must not be blasphemed, otherwise what is the difference between you and me and beasts?" ”

Fan Zhen pretended to inspect these three exams, but every time he went to Su Yan to see his answers, which was a clear disadvantage.

Wang Jue said lightly: "Before the results are out, you and I can't pass on the word!" ”

Fan Zhen was stunned, but he couldn't refute it.

This is to prevent you from cheating!

What is the origin of that black-faced candidate? actually asked Chen Zhongheng to come to the Gongyuan to check his status in person, and also hinted that you Fan Zhen paid attention to this person.

Could it be the child of a relative of the emperor?

And he must be a child who is deeply loved by the official family, otherwise where would Chen Zhongheng come to the Gongyuan.

Then those test papers were sealed and numbered, and the three test papers were all numbered, sent for transcription, and finally reviewed and marked.

Su Yan walked out of the tribute courtyard with the crowd, standing outside a little dazedly, his ears were full of noise.

"Su Yan!"

Guo Qian was waiting for the candidates of Taixue.

He was like an old hen who smiled and beckoned to a student when he saw it, and then beckoned them to his side.

The students of Taixue gradually gathered, and everyone was talking about the poems they had just made, some were proud, some were frustrated......

"Su Yan, what poems did you make?"

A student consciously played beyond his level, so he asked with a bright face.

When a person is proud, he likes to find those who are worse than himself, and then comfort him with compassion. Tell him that as long as you keep trying, you will definitely succeed.

This is an emotional catharsis that can make one's pride even stronger.

Everyone looked at Su Yan.

Su Yan said embarrassedly: "It's not good...... Something is not well written......"

Everyone sighed unexpectedly, and Guo Qian said: "It's nothing to win or lose for a while, Su Yan, continue to study, and you will still have a chance in three years." ”

A group of Taixue students all said in unison: "Su Yan, don't be sad, let's come back in three years." ”

The voice was a little loud, and the candidates who provoked it all looked at it.

It's sad to not do well in the exam yourself, but when someone worse than you appears, all the bad seems to be comforted.

Look, this man is worse than me, so what am I sad about?

"Da Lang!"

Su Yan, who was discouraged, looked up and saw Su Yi squeezing out of the crowd.

"Daddy."

Su Yi came over with a smile on his face, and he first bowed to Guo Qian and thanked him, and his words were humble, making those students shake their heads with disdain.

If so-and-so's father was so humble, so-and-so would definitely not stand with him.

"Daddy, your headscarf is off."

Su Yan helped his father tie his headscarf and said, "Daddy, tomorrow the child will be able to go to the dock......

Su Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you rest first......"

The father and son walked out side by side, Su Yan's back was a little hunched, but Su Yi was straight like a javelin.

Stand like a pine!

This is Shen An's request to the students, and Su Yan is the best one to maintain.

……

In the palace, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "What's the matter with Fan Zhen? ”

Chen Zhongheng said helplessly: "In the Gongyuan...... Fan Zhen was taken by Wang Jue's side and could not be separated for a moment. ”

Official! Wang Qi saw that you wanted to cheat, so he didn't give him a chance.

Chen Zhongheng felt that this was a good thing, so he would not fall into it.

Later history books read: In the spring of the sixth year of Jiayou, the emperor belonged to Su Yan and forcibly ordered it to be ......

Official, your reputation will be stinky by then!

Zhao Zhen was extremely helpless, so he called Zhang Ba Nian.

"Possibly infiltrating the Tribute Courtyard?"

Zhang Bannian nodded, and then sent his good men to infiltrate the Gongyuan and find an opportunity to meet with Fan Zhen.

"Official, Fan Zhen just keeps a straight face......"

"He's being watched."

it!

Zhao Zhen was really mad by Wang Jue, so he asked during the small court meeting: "How is Wang Jue's knowledge?" ”

The Zai Fu were a little confused, thinking that Wang Qi was a bachelor of Hanlin, and he couldn't do it without learning!

Zhao Zhen also felt that he was a little too much, so he laughed it off.

"Your Majesty, the provincial examination is in the process of grading, and there are many candidates celebrating outside...... Before the results came out, these people were full of ambition, thinking that they would be successful, and these people thought that they could not be reused, and they should be recorded, and if they passed the exam, they would be sharpened below......"

Fu Bi is most disgusted by frivolous people, so what he said is murderous.

Han Qi said: "The rich minister said that it was too much, and when the so-called gold list was titled, the happiness of life was also. At that time, the teenager was angry, three or five friends got together, laughing and talking, it was nothing. ”

Fu Bi retorted: "Temperament is the most difficult to change, and it must be tempered. Once the career is smooth, these people will become even worse, and when the time comes, they will become a scourge. ”

The two old men are both guys who have been tempered by countless eunuchs, and the arguments are quite interesting, and those real people and real things are at hand, which makes Zhao Zhen also eye-opening.

"Your Majesty, the top ten test papers of the provincial examination have been sent."

The quarrel was over, Fu Bi had a calm face, and hated Han Qi, the deputy, in his heart.

Wang Jue came, he came in with a big bag, saluted, and then said: "Your Majesty, the provincial test is over, the ministers have considered it again, and finally set the top ten, please take a look." ”

This is the rule, the top ten in the provincial test must be decided by the emperor.

Wang Jue didn't think there was anything, as long as you didn't cheat for personal gain.

The official family asked Chen Zhongheng to go to the secret demonstration town and asked him to take care of the black-faced candidate, but all this fell in Wang Jue's eyes.

He just used a little trick to let Fan Zhen return in vain.

Thinking of this, he felt a burst of relief.

As a minister, you must abide by the bottom line. If you blindly go to serve the emperor, you are a minister.

So he had some bad opinions about Fan Zhen, but fortunately, in the end, Fan Zhen explained that he just looked at the level of the black-faced candidate, and reported it to the official family in time after the exam, so that he could have a number.

If it weren't for that, he would have been ready to admonish.

Even if it makes the official family disgraced, it is better than breaking the rules.

The test paper was sent, if he was not interested, Zhao Zhen would only look at the ranking.

But this time he was looking at the test paper seriously.

When did the official family get so serious?

Fu Bi and Han Qi had just quarreled, but at the moment they felt that something was not quite right.

I'm afraid this official family is fake, right?

Every time he took the provincial exam, he just looked at the rankings, and he was not interested in reading the test papers at all.

What's going on today?

Zhao Zhen didn't know the courtiers' slanderous speculation, he looked at the test paper carefully.

Time passed slowly, and he saw the sixth ......

At this moment, the test paper has been unsealed, but he is not interested in looking at any name.

Su Yan's test paper won't appear here, he just wants to pick a thorn.

"Some...... It's a little dull. ”

He read the article and then the poem, and said, "The sixth place paper is a bit dull. ”

Wang Jue sneered in his heart: Official, I knew that you would pick thorns, but these papers have been reviewed again and again, don't you want to take the opportunity to make trouble.

He raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the sixth-place candidate's article is written in a rigid manner, if you take a closer look, there is sincerity between those words...... Looking at the top 10 test papers, if the paper is accepted, this person cannot be shortlisted, or even shortlisted for the top 200...... Moreover, he has a deep understanding of the pain points of the people at the bottom, and can give ways to improve them...... Such a test paper, even if it is not clear in literature and science, the minister thinks that it should be drawn up simply......"

He bowed, and then said: "Your Majesty, the so-called imperial examination is about talents. But what is talent? The ministers think that it is not the literary brilliance, those who can be close ministers, and His Majesty sing peace, but what good can it do in state affairs? ”

This slap hit the whole man up and down.

Those so-called geniuses don't know how to feel at this moment, at least Fu Bi and Han Qi are a little unnatural.

As Zaifu, it is naturally impossible for them to think that good writing of poetry and articles is talent, and that is really not much good for national affairs.

But everyone is a Confucian child, and when they see the great talents of such articles and poems, they can't help but praise them, such as Su Shi.

But Su Shi is a political idiot, who knows?

No one knows.

Most of the emperors of the Zhao family have some artist talents, and Zhao Zhen's calligraphy is a must, and even the courtiers are greedy for flying white with one hand, and they can't get a few more words to go back.

Therefore, his criterion for judging articles and poems is spirituality.

But how can the articles and poems of the sixth place be spiritual? It looks unaesthetically pleasing to him.

But Wang Jue's statement is correct, he is the emperor, and he naturally knows that Wencai is just an additional attribute for courtiers, and it doesn't matter if he has it or not.

But he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that it was too much for such an article and poetry to be promoted to the sixth place in the provincial examination, and he couldn't tolerate it.

"Wang Qing ......"

He glanced at the test paper, and Wang Qi also stood up straight, his eyes full of determination.

Come on, even if you die today, you won't agree to change the sixth place.

"Huh......"

But Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, he looked at the name carefully, and then looked up at Wang Qi in disbelief.

"Wang Qing, you don't remember these names wrong, right?"

Wang Jue felt that this was an insult to himself, so he said toughly: "These test papers and names, the minister has carefully checked them no less than ten times, if it is wrong, the minister ...... Please beg for bones. ”

If it's wrong, a resigned official will go home to farm!

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth gradually curled, and after looking at the name again, he suddenly slapped his thighs and laughed.

"Hahahaha!"

……

The first one is sent and asks for a monthly pass.
