Chapter 558: Time, Nightfall, Begins to Fall!

A moment later, after Chen Feihua looked at the entire palace again, he finally withdrew his gaze, moved his arm slightly, turned around and walked down under the city wall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Inform Deputy Commander Bai that he will be on duty tonight!"

"Yes!" a guard guarding the city wall immediately took the order, and at the same time, quickly ran towards the distance.

Chen Feihua, on the other hand, walked slowly towards the palace, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, he came to an antique attic.

Several palace maids guarding the door of the attic saw Chen Fei's paintings at a glance, all of them were all blessings, and then they also carefully opened the door.

Chen Feihua walked in.

Several palace maids closed the door, helped Chen Feihua take off the armor on his body, and changed into a skirt for Chen Feihua, and then put a pot of freshly brewed fragrant tea and an ancient scroll in front of Chen Feihua.

"Isn't Niangniang on duty tonight?" the palace maid stood aside and asked softly.

"Nope. Chen Feihua shook his head.

"Then do you want the slave maid to inform Gonggong Wei and let the emperor come over tonight?" the palace maid nodded, and then asked softly.

"No, you go down first, and don't let anyone come in and disturb me without my orders. Chen Feihua shook his head again.

"Yes!" several palace maids immediately slowly retreated.

And Chen Fei's gaze never left the ancient scroll in his hand, and his jade-like fingers gently turned the ancient scroll slowly.

This is Chen Feihua, in this palace full of all kinds of strife, doing his duty, doing his own thing, like an outsider.

......

Inside the Imperial Academy.

It has been a while since the morning examination started, and countless candidates looked at the test papers on the bookcase and buried themselves in writing.

This also made the candidates frown.

"It's so hard!"

"I heard that in the last session, Fang Zhengzhi actually completed all six test papers in two hours, and I don't know how to do it!"

"It's incredible!"

After truly experiencing the difficulty of the six test papers, the candidates also had a different view on the main writer of this morning examination, Fang Zheng.

In the past, most of their views on Fang Zhengcheng were just hearsay.

For example, his personality is extremely shameless, and he is from a humble background, a villager in the mountains and wilderness, and he is rude in handling things, and he has never entered the Taoist hall and academy since he was a child.

But now......

Looking at the six test papers in front of them, they knew that it was such a person who had done what they could not do anyway, and it was such a person who, when he was less than eighteen years old, sat on the chief writer of the imperial examination, the superintendent of the imperial academy, and the teacher of the world's students.

"Boom!"

The gong sounded as it approached the handing of papers.

The candidates' hearts were also shocked, looking at the test papers in front of them, which were still more than half empty, and they felt a little hopeless and lost.

It was too difficult to finish at all, and it was only two hours in total, so it was extremely difficult to answer all the questions in it.

Not to mention revising and carefully reviewing the questions.

Do you really have to submit your papers like this?

Ten years of hard study, in one fell swoop, he succeeded in the test.

However, if you don't even finish the test paper when you hand in the papers, how can you be on the list? How can you become famous and make it to the top in one fell swoop?

"Three laps!"

Almost at the same time, all the candidates who left blank on the test paper sounded these three words in their hearts, as long as they drew three circles on the test paper, they had a chance to get the first place in the morning exam.

It's just, how do you draw these three circles?

Where are you going to draw it?

It's a conundrum!

"Fight!"

"How can I say that my son is also a Danqing wonderful pen, three circles such a simple thing, can I still stump my son's full of talent?"

"My son wants to draw three of the most gorgeous circles!"

As the candidates made up their minds and put down their pens one after another, the circles on the test paper were slowly drawn, and then, the gong for handing in the paper finally sounded.

"Whew!"

The candidates breathed a sigh of relief, checked the various circles on the test paper with satisfaction, and looked at the hour, it was almost noon.

It doesn't take too long to hand in and rewind.

As the candidates handed in their papers and sealed the list, the stacks of thick test papers were also put away by the invigilators, and then they were carefully taken to a sealed room in the Imperial Academy.

More than a dozen imperial envoys sat in front of the desk early, looking at the thick stacks of test papers, grinding their fists, ready to show their skills after so many years of hard work.

And above them, there were also Fang Zhengzhi and Pingyang and Yan Xiu.

Normally speaking, at the first time after the end of the morning examination, the busiest examination work is also equal to the beginning, after all, the date of opening the list is too close, and the day after tomorrow is the time for the release of the list, which means that before sunset tomorrow, all the hundreds of test papers of the morning examination will be completed one by one.

In terms of time, it can be said that it is very urgent.

"Lord Fang, shall we start reviewing the papers now?" An imperial envoy looked at the test papers that had been collected, cautiously looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was sitting directly above, and asked.

"Don't worry, let's eat first. "Fang Zhengzhi has been sitting in this room for a long time, and his buttocks are a little painful, and it is basically impossible for him to review the file immediately.

"This ...... Lord Fang, the examination papers of the previous dynasties are very urgent matters, if you deliberately spare time to eat, I am afraid that the time will be ......" The imperial envoy was a little eager to say something.

In the past, the examination paper work was almost buried in the examination day and night, not to mention eating, even the time to sleep was a short two hours.

But Fang Zhengzhi actually said that he wanted to eat first......

This undoubtedly made the imperial envoys a little worried, after all, they were not upright, there was no way to disobey the holy order, if the file was really not reviewed in time, they would be the ones who suffered.

"Rest assured, there's plenty of time. Fang Zhengzhi shook his head, not worried at all.

"This ......" The envoys glanced at each other one by one, wanting to say something more, but looking at Fang Zheng's appearance, the words still didn't come out of their mouths after all.

As for Binh Duong......

At the moment, I also can't sit still.

This time, she accompanied Fang Zheng to the Imperial Academy, but it was just to experience what it was like to be an invigilator, and as for reviewing papers, she was not interested.

"Yan Xiu, this princess is also a little hungry, where are we going to eat at noon?" Pingyang touched his stomach and looked at Yan Xiu beside him with an indifferent face.

"Interpretation Building. Yan Xiu didn't shirk it, and directly said the place.

"Jieyulou?well, yes, although the place is a little farther away, the braised pork in Jieyulou is still very suitable for the taste of this princess, let's go to Jieyulou to eat at noon, this princess is in for a treat!" Pingyang heard this, and nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned to the imperial envoys below, with a generous face.

"Then let's go to the Interpretation Building for dinner together, and go all of them. When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he also agreed, and then he got up directly and walked towards the door.

A group of imperial envoys looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Pingyang and Yan Xiu who left, they were all a little speechless, but they went to the Jieyu Building so far away to eat together when the review work was so intense?

This is something that has never happened in any year.

However, the chief writer has spoken, and they naturally don't dare to object, after all, Fang Zhengzhi is now the overseer of the Imperial Academy, their top boss.

Thereupon......

The group left the Imperial Academy one after another.

Under the surprised gaze of countless candidates who had just walked out of the Imperial Academy, they walked towards the Interpretation Building.

"What's going on? Don't the envoys review the files?"

"Actually went out en masse?"

"Are you going out to eat?"

"It's impossible, weren't the envoys very busy when they were reviewing the papers in the past, how could they still have time to go out to eat?"

All the candidates looked incredible.

Then, they saw a group of imperial envoys, under the leadership of Fang Zhengzhi and Pingyang and others, walked a full two pillars of incense before stepping into the door of a restaurant called Jieyulou.

"It's really going to dinner!"

The candidates' eyes widened almost instantly.

In the interpretation building, some of the candidates who had also just sat down after taking the court exam were also staring at Fang Zhengzhi and the imperial envoys who walked in from the gate at this moment.

"Is Ben Gongzi dazzled?"

"It seems like I have a little bit of ...... too Dazzled!"

"The imperial envoys actually went to such a far place to eat, shouldn't they be in the imperial academy to review the papers?"

None of the candidates wanted to believe the facts in front of them, but the fact was that Fang Zhengzhi and others walked into the private room on the second floor generously under the gaze of countless candidates.

And then......

Yanjing City is blowing up again!

Almost all the courtiers received a message that after the court examination, Fang Zhengzhi not only did not review the papers, but also took a group of imperial envoys to a restaurant called Xie Yulou in the south of the city to eat.

"What is Fang Zhengzhi doing? Isn't he afraid that time will run out?"

"The Holy Admiral entrusted him with such a heavy task, and he actually neglected his duty and ran half of Yanjing City to eat?

"Forget it, now that he has the grace of God, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no way to take him, do you want to join him?"

"Wait, this official wants to see, when the list is released, if he has not completed the examination of the papers, how can he submit the papers to the saint at that time?"

The courtiers were somewhat ashamed of Fang Zheng's behavior, but in this situation, they really had no way to deal with Fang Zheng.

So......

It can only wait.

......

At the time of the meal, Fang Zhengzhi ate really not too fast, after eating the main meal, he called a few more servings of water flies, and ate for a full hour before it was over.

And the imperial envoys were already a little restless like the ants on a hot pot, and by the time the imperial envoys came out of the Jieyu Building, the sun had set slightly, and the sky began to gradually darken.

"Lord Fang, are we going back to review the file now?"

"Don't worry, sleep first, and try it again tomorrow. Fang Zhengzhi shook his head, took a full distance, and stretched his waist again, looking a little tired.

I woke up early in the morning, followed by proctoring.

It's a hassle.

This is Fang Zhengzhi's current thoughts, if possible, he is really not willing to accept such a thankless task.

"Lord Fang, beg Lord Fang to let me go, we are just a mere imperial envoy, if we delay the examination papers of the court, we will be killed!"

"Yes, Lord Fang, let's start reviewing the papers!"

"The list will be released the day after tomorrow, if there is only one day tomorrow, it is really impossible to review all the trial papers!"

When the envoys heard this, they almost knelt down.

How important is the morning test?

If the file is not reviewed before the list is released, once such a thing comes out, it is almost conceivable how serious the consequences will be.

"Fang Zhengzhi, are you really sure that you can finish reviewing all the test papers of the court examination in one day?" Pingyang looked at the group of imperial envoys in front of him with bitter faces, and then looked at Fang Zhengcheng with a relaxed face, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, after all, she still knew something about the court examination papers.

"One day?" Fang Zhengzhi pursed his lips: "What I think about is to finish reviewing all the test papers of the court examination in two hours, and review it for one day, how tiring it will be!"

"Two hours?!"

"How is this possible, there are hundreds of test papers? From the preliminary examination to the re-examination, each test paper has to pass through the hands of at least five imperial envoys, and then, it has to be ......."

"It's impossible to do!"

When the envoys heard this, their eyes widened.

If there is an answer, it is indeed possible to review hundreds of test papers in one day, but the test papers of the morning examination are scriptural.

In other words, a lot of things need to be pondered and thought about.

In this case, it is necessary for several envoys to agree together, and finally determine whether the interpretation of the scriptures in the test paper is a class A or a class.

Moreover, each test paper is not only reviewed by one imperial envoy, but more than five imperial envoys need to be cross-examined, and it will not be handed over to the review until all five imperial envoys have completed their examination.

Not to mention two hours......

Even if it's two days, it's very intense.

"Lord Fang, this matter is no joke, please start reviewing the file immediately, I have already prepared to sleep tonight, I must do my best!"

"Yes, please also ask Lord Fang to order the review of the file!" When the other envoys heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

"You really don't want to rest for a night, do you have to review the file now?" Fang Zheng looked directly at the imperial envoys with worried faces on their faces, and his expression was somewhat helpless.

"Yes!" the envoys nodded.

"Alright then, let's review the file now!" Fang Zheng looked at the sky and finally nodded.

"Lord Xie Fang!" The imperial envoys finally nodded when they heard Fang Zhengzhi, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed Fang Zhengzhi towards the Imperial Academy.

Pingyang, on the other hand, followed with a curious face.

As for Yan Xiu, he was surprisingly calm, and he didn't look worried at all.

......

After a short time, the envoys also returned to the Imperial Academy, and sat down in front of the desk again, looking at the stacked test papers, their faces more or less worried.

"Let's start reviewing the papers!" Fang Zhengzhi ordered.

"Yes!" the envoys nodded immediately and began to hand out their test papers.

"First pick out the ones that are circled on the test papers, and then, these people ...... Even if it's all off the list. Fang Zheng glanced directly at the envoys who had begun to distribute the test papers, and spoke again.

"Huh?!"

When the envoys heard this, they were all a little stunned, and they stopped one by one, staring at Fang Zhengcheng with wide eyes, and did not react at all.

Draw all the circles on the test paper and count them as unsuccessful?

What's going on?

They had all heard Fang Zhengzhi say that it was possible for those who drew circles on the test paper to win the first place! In this regard, they were also going to pay special attention to the circles on the test paper.

Why did it suddenly become a drop-off?

"Lord Fang, this ...... I'm afraid that's not right, is it?"

"Yes, is there a lack of justice in doing so?"

"It's a bit of a time to do it, but if you do......"

The imperial envoys all expressed their worries one after another, and such a major event as the court test was undoubtedly too hasty in their hearts.

Sure enough, is this guy just fooling around?

At this moment, almost all the envoys had such thoughts in their hearts, and they were all more or less helpless when they looked at Fang Zheng's appearance.

"It seems that you don't trust my judgment very much, so you can just pick a few papers with circles drawn and take a look. Fang Zheng looked at the expressions on the faces of the envoys, of course he could guess their thoughts, but he didn't explain too much, but pointed to the test paper in front of him.

When the envoys heard this, although they had some doubts in their hearts, they quickly looked at it.

And then......

The envoys also frowned.

Then, one by one, the test papers were alternated in the hands of the envoys, and finally, they were discarded aside.

"What's written on this?"

"There is a large empty piece of test paper, and there is actually a facial?"

"This ...... It's all ......."

After the imperial envoys reviewed ten test papers in a row, the expressions on their faces finally changed, and they were a little speechless when they looked at the test papers with circles drawn.

"Do you want me to say it again?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly, looking at the imperial envoys below.

"No...... No more!"

"Lord Fang's insight is really incomparable to us!"

"These test papers have been circled, they are indeed the papers that have fallen off the list, what Lord Fang said is not wrong, and there is no injustice at all!"

After the envoys glanced at each other, they no longer had any doubts and nodded one after another.

"Let's get started. Fang Zheng nodded straightly.

"Yes!" the envoys immediately commanded.

Then, the test papers with circles were also selected one after another, and they were all discarded aside, and a few imperial envoys who were not too desperate took the time to look at them a few times while discarding them.

In the end, though, they all shook their heads.

After a series of selections of hundreds of test papers, there were less than 60 test papers left, and almost all of the circled test papers were selected and put aside.

There are less than 60 test papers, so this kind of examination is naturally much less difficult.

Two hours later.

The list of those who made the list in the Korean examination was freshly released.

"Okay, it's almost over, you can draft it and submit the results to the Holy Lord!" Fang Zheng looked straight at the list that had been sorted out, stretched his waist, and got up to leave.

As soon as Pingyang heard this, she immediately opened her eyes, and after nearly two hours of interrogation, she had been waiting a little impatiently, if it weren't for being a little curious about Fang Zhengzhi's way of reviewing the file, she would have gone back to Pingyang's mansion to play.

"Can I go?"

"Hmm!" Fang Zheng nodded straightly.

"It's all over?" Pingyang was a little incredulous.

"yes, it's all over. Fang Zhengzhi nodded again.

"No, it's really all over in less than two hours, and if this matter is known to my father, I don't know what he will think. Pingyang was slightly surprised.

"If you report it, you'll know. Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"Well, this princess must go to her father and tell me about it. When Pingyang heard this, he also nodded, as if he had made a meritorious service.

Two people, you went out with a word, followed by Yan Xiu with an indifferent face.

Wait until the three of them come out of the room......

One by one, you looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all saw the same complicated and shocked expressions in each other's eyes.

"Is this the right place?"

"The chief writer of the imperial examination who is less than eighteen years old, the new governor of the Imperial Academy!"

"Holy Vision...... Sure enough, it's not something we can compare!"

"In less than two hours, the test papers of the court examination were completed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

If before today, the imperial envoys still had some ideas about Fang Zhengzhi serving as the chief writer of the court examination, at this moment, no one has any objections.

Two Hours......

The results of the morning test are out!

This is something that has never happened in the previous court tests of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Fang Zhengzhi, you tell this princess, why are you so sure that the test paper with a circle must be the one that has failed? In case there is anything missing in it, it is not ......" Pingyang seemed to have a clear head after walking out of the Imperial Academy, blinked his eyes, and asked Fang Zhengzhi beside him.

"I even think about cheating in the literary exam, how can such a person have any real learning, and how can he do things for the court in a down-to-earth manner?" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Pingyang and replied casually.

"Hmm...... When you say this, it seems to make some sense, even if there is really something missing, just this character can not be hired!" Pingyang was stunned for a moment, and then, his eyes lit up, and then, he also nodded: "Are we going back to the house to eat now?"

"It's almost time!" Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Pingyang's question, but raised his head slightly and looked at the sky that had completely darkened.

A little star, lit up in the sky.

Very bright.

However, it means that night has begun to fall.

"What time is it......? You mean?" Pingyang looked at Fang Zhengcheng with some confusion, and then, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes that were as clear as water.
