Chapter 94: Examination
"Students will definitely live up to their teacher." Although the teacher is unreliable, Ouyang Zhi and the other two were still grateful in their hearts.
This is the teacher’s kindness.
"I passed the exam..." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You must have a conscience."
"..." Ouyang Zhi and the other two bowed obediently: "Abide by the teachings."
"And..." Fang Jifan said: "You must work hard!"
"Yes..." Ouyang Zhi and the other two couldn't help but burst into tears.
"The prince pleaded 50,000 taels to win; he asked his master to tell you something, if you three are not even enough to go to Tang Yin, you will break your legs."
"..." The gratitude on Ouyang Zhi and the other two instantly turned into deep hatred.
Fang Jifan sighed: "Don't worry, my master will not give His Highness the chance.
"..." Huh... Ouyang Zhi and Liu Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Jifan gritted his teeth and continued, "Because I have also bet 200,000 taels of silver, the odds are very high, one to pay three, and you are at the top. If you lose, I will not give the crown prince a chance to break your legs. Your legs will be broken by yourself."
“…”
…………
Tang Yin's legs and feet were still a little lame. He limped out of the inn, feeling like he was seeing the light of day again.
But when he came out of the inn, Tang Yin was stunned.
There were crowds of people outside, and when they saw Tang Yin coming out, they suddenly felt thunderous.
"Test hard."
"Come on."
"We must not let the Northerners bully us."
“Get out of the way, get out of the way…”
Dozens of strong servants drove away, but there was still a sedan chair behind him. A person in charge came forward excitedly: "My two masters have long admired Tang Jieyuan. Tang Jieyuan is about to enter the exam today. The men specially ordered Tang Jieyuan to take the sedan chair."
Tang Yin's eyes were moist.
I was moved. I didn't expect that there were so many enthusiastic people in the world. This is the dog thief that heaven was about to destroy Fang Jifan. Otherwise, how could there be thousands of people so enthusiastic?
Looking at the crowd of people, Tang Yin felt a warm current in his heart, rising up. There was true love in the world, so he should repay his heart with his heart. He held his head up and his chest was raised, and he was about to say a few words.
But he heard people say verbally: "Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo have made a big deal. They only took 100,000 taels of silver. All the land at home is mortgaged. The bet on Tang Jieyuan will win."
"Yes, yes, Tang Jieyuan is Jieyuan of Yingtian Prefecture. What are the scholars like Ouyang Zhi like? I also bet ten taels. Although Tang Jieyuan will definitely win a big victory and the odds are not high, this is equivalent to free money."
"Tang Jieyuan, I stole my wife's dowry money and hope it will be all on you, and I will take the exam hard."
"Tang Jieyuan will win."
"..." Tang Yin's face looked like a pig's liver, and he was speechless for a moment.
…………
The Gongyuan was already surrounded by the three layers inside and three layers outside, and the troops of Shuntian Prefecture and the five cities of the military personnel were all trapped.
Countless candidates entered the examination room in a row.
In the twelve years of Hongzhi, the imperial examination that determined the fate of countless people finally kicked off.
Ouyang Zhi has entered his examination room.
He felt a little emotional in his heart. He consciously said that he should be grateful to his mentor. Without his mentor, there would be no Ouyang Zhi's today.
But... sometimes my mentor really makes me laugh and cry.
But what method is there? Parents cannot choose, and it is not up to you who the king is. Even if your mentor is worshipped, it cannot be changed once you enter the wall.
Take a deep breath and eliminate distractions.
Although it is spring, the wind is still chilly. Judging from the weather, it is probably going to snow in a few days. This strange weather is really unpredictable.
Ouyang Zhi rubbed his hands, then took out the pen and ink from Kaolan.
When the auspicious time came, a servant shouted: "The Grand Master has an order to start the project."
“Start the topic…”
“Start the topic…”
Many officers set out from Minglun Hall, holding high signs in their hands and began to walk towards various examination halls.
When the sign with the title on it was moved to Ouyang Zhi.
Ouyang Zhi looked at the sign and said: "There is a beautiful jade here."
There is...beautiful...yu...
Ouyang Zhi's body shook.
It's actually this question...
He is really familiar with this question.
Among the several questions that my teacher asked them to practice, there was this "beautiful jade here". He had tried this question countless times. When my teacher asked this question, Ouyang Zhi still believed that this question was definitely useless.
Because ordinary examiners do not ask such questions at all, they prefer to ask questions such as "learning", "gentlemen become adults", "governing with virtue", and "those who want to govern their country must first manage their families".
After all... no matter how tricky such questions are or how they are cut off, they are still stable.
What's more, everyone guessed that Wang Ao was the examiner, and the questions asked by the prince must be open and open, containing the great way.
But who would have thought that this time the chief exam was Li Dongyang.
Not only that, there was also a question of "There are beautiful jades in this". This question is too biased. It is said that Li Gong is very wise and is good at crafting strange questions and biased questions. Today... it is true.
Did the blind cat encounter a dead mouse?
Or, your teacher knows the test questions in advance?
No, it is impossible. The nature of his mentor is not tolerated by Qingliu. Mr. Li is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Why should he release the questions? As for other examiners, such as Cheng Minzhengren, it is even more impossible to deal with his mentor.
The only explanation is that my mentor was so shocked.
I won the provincial examination once, but this time I won the imperial examination again.
It is said that the teacher, Wenqu, came down to earth and buried his ancestral tomb well... This... Ouyang Zhi actually believed it a little.
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Zhi was already full of confidence and confidence. He quickly ground the ink and then calmly wrote down the topic: "Come on beautiful jade to make a statement, if you don't want to underestimate it..."
…………
The exam was three consecutive times, and the exam was finally completed on February 15th.
The tired candidates came out of Zigong Academy like flowing water.
And outside the tribute court, there are even more people.
Countless people were waiting anxiously.
Wait until Tang Yin came out of the self-examination room, and the joy suddenly erupted.
"Tang Jieyuan, how did you take the exam?" Someone had already surrounded him.
Tang Yin was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Not bad."
The word "nice" made the anxious person's face ease a lot.
The ancients were humble, and modesty means that when a person says it is good, this context is equivalent to me being humble not. In this scene, I say second, and no one dares to say first. If you don’t say humbly, other candidates will be rubbish.
Tang Jieyuan was very talented and full of knowledge. Who would dare not believe him if he dared to boast about this Haikou?
So, countless people cheered and some people were excited and their eyes turned red: "I staked 300 taels of silver, I staked 300 taels..."
Although Tang Yin hated these guys for betting on himself, he performed well after these three exams, especially before the exams, studying hard behind closed doors. This time, his conscious level of doing questions has improved a lot, so he was in a pretty good mood.
He limped forward a few steps, and someone said behind him: "Bohu."
This was a very familiar voice. Tang Yin looked back and smiled immediately. He hurriedly bowed to the young man: "Brother Xu."
This person is Xu Jing, a friend Tang Bohu is very familiar with. During this exam, the two of them came to Beijing together. Xu Jing said, "Are you better? Oh, Brother Yu heard that you were beaten and went to visit you overnight, but was stopped. He said that you were seriously injured and needed treatment. He refused to let Brother Yu see you. After several twists and turns, he asked about your condition. God is pitiful and you will be fine if you have nothing to do."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly. He didn't know where the inn was driven away by all the arrogant Fang Jifan. However, many of the Fang family's tyrants were moved to visit. In the name of curing the disease, no one was allowed to visit. He said ashamed: "Brother Xu is worried, and he will die."
