The students did not dare to make a mistake under Cui Huanzhi's reprimand.

Even Feng Yu and Su Ji, who were the most ferocious, were also not strict and subconsciously took a step back. Under Cui Huanzhi's gaze, they only felt cold sweat and didn't dare to raise their heads.

After looking around for a week, Cui Huanzhi said: "I am the writer and judge of the Ancheng Gongyuan, I am fully responsible for the matter of the list, if you have any questions, you can raise them in person, I will answer them for you in person, if there is really something unfair, you students can go to the city government to complain." ”

Saying this, most of the students calmed down.

Just now, they were also crowded, and they felt that there was a shady scene and felt that it was unfair, so they made trouble, but when they calmed down carefully and thought about it, they knew that it was impossible for the Gongyuan to do such a disciplinary violation.

If Chu Xian is really ranked first on the list, there must be a reason.

At that moment, a student stepped forward to salute, and then said: "Master Cui, the student has questions, I heard that Chu Xian of Naling County missed four subjects and only relied on one subject to seek skills, let me ask, why did he overpower our thousands of students and become the first on the list?"

This question, apparently everyone wants to know why.

Many civil officials of the Gongyuan also looked at Cui Huanzhi, because they knew that if this question was not answered well, it would definitely be a big matter, don't underestimate these students, they really dared to go to the city government, or even a higher-level supervision department to complain.

Cui Huanzhi looked at the student and said with a smile: "That's a good question, if I were a student, I would also have questions, but let me ask you, who said that if you miss four subjects, you can't become the first student on the list?"

This time, he stopped the student.

Indeed, there is no explicit provision that you can't be included in the list if you miss the exam, but the convention is like this, and the score of the paper is also a comprehensive consideration, if you miss a subject, that subject must be scoreless, and if you don't score, the possibility of entering the list will be infinitely lower.

However, it is not impossible.

The student thought for a while, nodded and said: "The student is reckless, what Master Cui said is right, there is no legal provision, and if you miss the exam, you can't be on the list, but the student still doesn't believe it, he Chu Xian has such an amazing talent, and he can win the first place on the list with just one article." ”

"I don't believe it either!"

Many of the students below chimed in.

Cui Huanzhi said: "I know you don't believe it, so I have copied out the answer sheet of Chu Xian's scheme, come here, paste the test paper on the wall, and let many students judge it themselves. ”

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several civil officials came out with a few large pieces of paper and pasted them on the red wall on the side.

The article is very long, eight pages long, tens of thousands of words. After pasting it, some students immediately stepped forward to take a look, including Feng Yu and Su Ji.

The two of them didn't believe in Chu Xian's scheming article at all, so they were able to suppress thousands of students' five-subject articles and become the top of the list, they didn't believe it, so they wanted to find out the problems and loopholes in this article.

Not far away, Bai Zijin glanced back at Chu Xian and said, "I want to go and see it too!"

"It's just an article, nothing to see. Chu Xian persuaded him, but he knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he dodged and hid behind a big tree, Bai Zijin smiled, walked over, and watched it with many students.

For a moment, the scene was very quiet.

Those students originally looked at it with suspicion and provocative years, but the more they looked, the more stunned they became, and the more they watched, the more frightened they became, and in the end, only admiration and admiration remained.

"It's actually a subject and five arts, an article, which integrates the four subjects of law, calligraphy, politics, and art that were absent from the exam before, but there is no disobedience at all, and it also expounds the general righteousness, is clearly organized, and the arguments are convincing. ”

At this time, Fu Yao, a student with an ugly appearance and ranked second in this township exam, spoke at this moment.

Although he is ugly, he is extremely talented, and he is also the second ranked student in this township examination, so his words are naturally convincing. Seeing that after reading this, Fu Yao smiled bitterly, and then saluted Cui Huanzhi and said: "The judgment of the Tribute Academy, there is no problem, this article cannot be written without a shocking talent." ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

"Good-hearted, this son is not weak, and he will become a great tool in the future. A civil official of the Gongyuan also nodded again and again when he saw Fu Yao so free and easy.

On the other side, Bai Zijin also finished reading.

His reaction was a little strange, a little confused, but more of admiration, and he only muttered: "I'm not as good as him." ”

And he retreated.

After that, Bai Zijin bowed his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

More and more students read the article on Chu Xian's five techniques, and almost all of them were dumbfounded, or sighed and said no more.

This has already shown that they served.

Feng Yu's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, he really wanted to find out the loopholes in the article, but he was disappointed, this article was almost perfect, and he couldn't find the slightest loophole at all.

Feng Yu's own literary style is not bad, so it can also be seen that Chu Xian used one article to overwhelm thousands of students and win the first place on the list, which is indeed well deserved.

But he just wasn't convinced.

At this moment, Feng Yu seemed to have a fire burning in his chest, he looked at Chu Xian, and then without saying a word, he brushed his sleeves and left.

As for Su Ji, he was already stupid there, and he kept muttering: "Why...... Why ......?"

But at this time, no one paid attention to him anymore.

Cui Huanzhi obviously expected this result, so he was not afraid at all, because this article was not only approved by him, but also the chief judge of the Tribute Court, and he also had the same opinion as him.

That's the number one on the list.

There is no doubt about that.

In fact, when Cui Huanzhi came out, he had already seen Chu Xian hiding behind the crowd, and the two looked at each other in the air, but they made a mistake.

Just at a glance, Cui Huanzhi knew that this Chu Xian recognized him, otherwise why did he hurriedly look away, he should have been frightened. This made Cui Huan feel a kind of pride in his heart, and said in his heart, you kid, I didn't expect that the person who went to your house to ask for water was me Cui Huanzhi.

You kid must be panicking now.

Thinking of this, Cui Huanzhi actually felt a sense of pride, and then said, "Where is Chu Xian?"

At this time, Chu Xian was looking at Bai Zijin over there, and it wasn't until Cui Huanzhi shouted for the second time that Bai Zijin glanced at him and motioned for someone to call him, and Chu Xian reacted.

Seeing Cui Huanzhi's call, Chu Xian hurriedly tidied up his clothes, then stepped forward quickly and saluted, "The student is here." ”

"Come in with the officer, and the officer has something to say to you. Cui Huanzhi was very polite, Chu Xian was stunned, he vaguely guessed what Cui Huanzhi wanted to say to him, but he hesitated a little, and glanced back at Bai Zijin, who was standing next to the tree, looking over quietly, his lips moving, as if to say, I will wait for you to come out.

Chu Xian was still a little hesitant, but what Cui Huanzhi wanted to say to him was too meaningful to Chu Xian, so there was no way, Chu Xian could only say a 'wait for me' lip to Bai Zijin, and then followed Cui Huanzhi into the Tribute Courtyard.
