First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 115

Chapter 115 perfect answer sheet! (Two more in one)

Lin Chengye struggled to write quickly.

Feng Lin in the back row room couldn't help laughing twice after getting the question.

Xiao Liulang gave Lin Chengye tutoring, and he followed in some observations. Lin Chengye was afraid of Xiao Liulang, and sometimes took the exam papers to himself, and he felt that there was no problem before he presented it to Xiao Liulang.

If you come and go, he will also memorize the "Book of Filial Piety".

It's not that the examination room has strict discipline, Feng Lin wants to hum a little song.

From the perspective of this test alone, the difficulty of the examiners' questions is completely inferior to Xiao Liulang's devil's difficulty.

The rest of the candidates are not as calm as the three of them. They really did not expect that this year's exam questions would be too high and they would die!

However, the psychological quality of candidates who can advance into the township examination is relatively good. Although they roared and roared in their hearts, they bit their heads and wrote.

This year's autumn tiger is amazing. It was very hot when it came in yesterday, but it is not as hot as it is today.

The test shed is narrow and narrow, and it is not ventilated. As soon as the test started, the test takers were sweating profusely.

Audacious candidates directly undress and undress. Although it is detrimental to appearance, the examination room discipline has always been that as long as you don't cheat, the examiner will ignore you **** and fart.

At noon, the sun was shining directly from a high altitude, and the temperature in the examination booth was much higher. All the examinees felt that they were being grilled on an iron plate.

Finally, a candidate from a provincial city fainted from heat stroke.

This is the son of a big family. He has not had any hardships. Unlike the poor students who often go to work in the field, he can withstand the high temperature.

The invigilator pays attention to his movements. It is best for him to wake up by himself, otherwise he will never be able to return to the examination room once he is lifted out of the examination room.

Waiting for a while, the examinee did not respond, and the invigilator had to call the guard to take him out to see the doctor.

The guard woke up as soon as he carried the person to the gate of Gongyuan. He cried and shouted to go back to the exam, but the examination room discipline would not make an exception for anyone, even the prince.

Therefore, the imperial examination has extremely high requirements on all aspects of candidates. Not only must the mental quality be excellent, but also the physical quality must be good enough, otherwise it will not be able to carry such a high-intensity exam.

This episode has also caused great psychological pressure on the rest of the candidates. In addition, the weather is indeed getting hotter and hotter, and everyone feels that their exam booth has become a big stove.

At first, the candidates who refused to undress can't take care of anything at the moment. If they didn't take off their pants, it was the last respect for the examination room!

Xiao Liulang also felt the heat. If it had been in the past, he would have passed out because of the heat. However, for the past six months, Gu Jiao pulled him for re-examination every day, and did not fall a day. Even if he went out for the exam, she would tell Feng Lin to stare at him.

At first, he thought that everything she did was futile, because he couldn't get rid of the shadow of his heart anyway, and he couldn't stand up like a normal person.

He didn't realize until now that her hard work was not in vain, and his body was too strong.

Another half an hour later, the temperature in the examination booth reached its peak, and two more candidates fainted. All the candidates were upset and irritated, their brains were dizzy, and they could no longer think normally.

Xiao Liulang took off his coat, but it was still not enough, his eyes suddenly fell on the baggage at hand.

He opened the bag, took out the small green bottle that Gu Jiao asked Feng Lin to bring, and wiped a few drops on his temples and forehead, and suddenly a chill spread from his forehead throughout his body. He was instantly refreshed and clear-eyed.

All the heat subsided at this moment, and he settled down and continued to write questions.

The weather didn't get so hot until the sun went down. After the test on that day, all the candidates were paralyzed. I don't know whether they were allowed to take the exam or let the sun bake.

Xiao Liulang, Feng Lin, and Lin Chengye are much easier than the rest of the candidates because of the magical medicine that Gu Jiao gave.

Everyone has no appetite to eat during the day, and now it's cold, and finally remembered to eat.

However, what makes the candidates collapse is that the weather is too hot, and the dry food they brought in has all been rotten!

A faint smell rose in the examination booth, and the invigilator couldn't help but pinch his nose.

But soon, a sweet and sour fruity fragrance floated over, it was oranges! One peeling can splash out the oil full of orange scent, which is extremely fresh!

Guru~

The belly of the examinee screamed.

Then everyone started to drool, the oranges are too fragrant, sour and sweet...

Xiao Liulang ate an orange, then took out a piece of jerky and a piece of pancake. The pancake and the jerky dried the moisture, and the pickles were not spoiled.

He chewed and ate slowly.

The smell of meat mixed with pickles filled the entire examination room, and all the candidates collapsed.

Such difficult examination questions during the day and such bad weather are enough to torture people. Why do you want to eat such fragrant things in the examination room?

Are you really here for the exam?

Who would bring such a hearty meal to the exam?

If it is not forbidden to whisper in the examination room, the candidates all want to shout: "Brother Tai, share me a bite, where will you go in the future, I will cover it!"

Misfortune does not come singly. In such a hot weather, how can there be fewer mosquitoes at night?

Xiao Liulang and three of them applied Fengyou Essence and slept comfortably. When the candidates who had been playing mosquitoes all night walked out of the examination room, their dark circles almost couldn't hold back.

Fortunately, there was a heavy rain in the provincial capital on the day when I was out of the examination room, and the weather finally turned cold.

On the day of eleventh, the candidates entered the examination room again.

The second test is one of the five classics, which is an argumentative essay. The number of words in each essay is not high, not less than 300 words. In previous years, people's livelihood and official career were mainly discussed, such as the world's industry and commerce, water conservancy, agriculture and mulberry, the division of responsibilities of the six departments and so on.

This year, however, it came up with a "Discussion on the Pros and Cons of the Clan", which directly stunned the candidates.

Which examiner who is not afraid of death came out of such a sharp and sensitive question?

In Zhaoguo, each year's examination questions for the township test were formulated by the cabinet and then passed to the emperor for review. The emperor's approval would be packaged, sealed, and sent to major provinces and cities.

The examination questions issued by the court are all consistent, but some man-made or accidental situations, such as leaks and destruction of questions, are not ruled out. Therefore, the court often prepares eight sets of questions.

During the examination, the examiner randomly selected questions in public, and which set was drawn. So far, there has been no precedent that all provinces and cities have drawn the same set of questions.

Unfortunately, this year the chief examiner of the provincial city won the most difficult set of questions.

Among this group of candidates, there are those who took the first provincial exam like Xiao Liulang, and some of them are still taking the exam with their hair gray for most of their lives.

Anyone who has taken the test many times can see that this year's questions are not simple, don't follow the routine...

Over the years, the scoring officers have their own preferences. Candidates will try their best to cater to the preferences of the examiners when doing the questions. This is why every year someone spends a lot of money to inquire about the history and deeds of the examiners.

The problem is that the slashing of the feudal clan is not an ordinary issue of people's livelihood. It cannot be determined by the examiner's preferences. It mainly depends on the attitude of the court.

If the court advocates cutting the vassal, then the examiner can never give a high score on an examination paper that opposes the cutting of the vassal, otherwise the examiner is openly clamoring the court and the emperor?

From the imperial court's recruitment of Anlin's family, the examinees probably still understand the imperial court's attitude towards the vassal prince, and it is absolutely impossible to cut the vassal for at least the past ten years.

For the sake of safety, the vast majority of candidates chose to cater to the court's wind direction, citing classics and rhetoric about the disadvantages of the reduction of the feudal clan, and vigorously advocating the court's current appeasement policy.

And in a certain examination booth, Xiao Liulang did not hesitate to write a pen—it is imperative to cut the Fan!

The last stage is for admission on the 14th, and the test will start on the 15th. The test is eight-legged essay.

This is Lin Chengye's weakest item. In the child test, he never scored a high score in the eight-part essay. Almost all he gained a fame as a talent based on the post scriptures and essays.

However, this time he looked at the questions on the test paper, and felt that there was no tricky question given to him by Xiao Liulang on weekdays.

Furthermore, Xiao Liulang taught him the skills of eight-part essays, and asked him to recite a few neatly opposed nonsense. The meaning is meaningless, but the overall style of the article looks high-end and magnificent!

He wrote fluently!

In short, it is hydrology!

Rokuro said, when you don't understand, it's hydrology! Don't be empty!

Lin Chengye feels that he has a good level of water this time (I can't understand what I have watered). Although he won't get a high score, he shouldn't fail as before.

Three exams were over, the candidates lost a lap in the exam, and Zhou Guanshi waited outside the Gongyuan early in the morning.

Watching the candidates come out one by one, describing them as thin, he was worried about his sixth son.

Soon, the three of Xiao Liulang came out.

No matter how many people there are, Xiao Liulang is always the one who can be noticed at first glance.

Zhou Guan saw him beforehand, and then saw Lin Chengye next to him.

Manager Zhou was about to yell "You're losing weight, son", and then the words choked in his throat.

Uh...why does his son seem to have gained weight after taking the test?

In fact, Lin Chengye is not fat. It's just that the other candidates have lost weight, which makes it appear that the three of them are fatter.

Guan Shi hurried forward, and asked excitedly and anxiously, "How did you get on the exam, son? You didn't let me come over in the previous two games. I was frustrated! Can I pass the exam? Is the exam difficult? What about me? I think everyone's faces are not good!"

Lin Chengye said: "Look back, let's talk later."

Guan Shi looked at the candidates on the side, and realized that he was over-excited. Where is the place to talk?

He smiled and said to Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin: "Finally, the exam is over. It's been a hard time for the two of you. My master hosted a banquet in the mansion. Please enjoy your face and follow me to the mansion."

The Lin family is the richest man in the provincial capital. Feng Lin quite wanted to meet the world, but Xiao Liulang refused in one fell swoop: "No, we have to go back to the county seat. We have received the kindness of Master Lin, and we will get together again in the future."

"what……"

Lin Chengye and Zhou Guanshi were startled at the same time.

Especially Lin Chengye.

Even though he had expected Xiao Liulang to go back after the exam, he was really weird at this moment.

This period of tutoring with Xiao Liulang was really the most miserable torture in life, but it was only after entering the examination room that he realized that it was his most precious experience.

"You, be late, go. I'll send it, you." Lin Chengye was anxious and exposed his stuttering problem.

His face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

There was nothing unusual on Xiao Liulang's face, and his eyes were as calm and cold as before: "No, you should go back and take a look after you have been away from home for so long."

Feng Lin was a little surprised, having reunited with Xiao Liulang for so long, it was the first time to hear him say such a humane words.

Think carefully, he has changed a lot from a year ago.

In the end, Lin Chengye failed to convince Xiao Liulang to go to his house. He could actually feel that his teacher-student relationship with Xiao Liulang was very good. Xiao Liulang was cold but his heart was not cold, but he did not understand why Xiao Liulang was unwilling. Go to his house.

Guan Shi said with a smile: "Sixth Young Master, Miss Biao is here. She said that you have worked hard for the country test, and I want to take you out for a few days!"

Lin Chengye doesn't like that **** cousin!

Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin returned to the inn.

When went upstairs, Feng Lin asked: "Should we wait for the results to come out before leaving?"

It takes half a month for the results to come out.

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "No, the results will be reported to the county government."

"Also." Feng Lin nodded. Although he wanted to know his and Xiao Liulang's achievements for the first time, Xiao Liulang's look like an arrow at home was clearly homesick, right?

Thinking of Jiao Niang.

Ha ha ha, brat.

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
