Chapter 311: Whoever comes first and who comes next is a technical job
No one could figure out what Nangong Hao was thinking in his heart, could it be that he wanted to hand in a blank paper? Because, he felt that this strategy was too simple, or did he think that the palace test was too simple?
However, this is unlikely.
If Nangong Hao really disdains to participate in the palace examination, then there is no need for him to go all the way to Yanjing City and publicly announce that he will participate in this palace examination.
Almost all the courtiers know one thing, the Nangong family attaches great importance to its reputation, and the Nangong family will never allow such a thing to ruin its reputation.
So......
What was Nangong Hao thinking?
Just when the courtiers couldn't figure it out, Nangong Hao also picked up the answer sheet on the bookcase, gently flipped the answer sheet, and covered it on the bookcase.
"This ...... What's going on?"
All the courtiers looked at Nangong Hao's movements, but they were completely shocked.
Because, the moment Nangong Hao picked up the answer sheet, they all clearly saw that the answer was not blank, but had extremely smooth handwriting.
This means that the test paper handed over by Nangong Hao is not a blank paper.
Not a white roll?
How is this possible!
The courtiers' eyes were completely wide, and none of them wanted to believe the scene in front of them, because, before Fang Zhengzhi shouted out the handing in papers, they all clearly remembered that Nangong Hao's answer sheet was blank.
Don't......
Is this a stumbling possibility?
"Oh my God, how did he do it?"
"It's incredible!"
"It's incredible. ”
The courtiers were terrified.
Because, if Nangong Hao's hand is not a white roll, then there is only one possibility left.
Just now.
At the moment when everyone's eyes were attracted by Fang Zhengzheng, Nangong Hao completed the entire answer sheet at a speed that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
However, I thought back to everything just now.
From Fang Zhengzhi standing up and saying that he wanted to hand in the papers, to the ministers questioning, to a conversation between Su Qing and Fang Zhengzhi. At most, the process in between is the time of a small half-pillar of incense.
In other words, Nangong Hao took advantage of this time to complete the entire answer sheet.
It's so fast!
The ministers were shocked by the speed of Nangong Hao's writing.
But what shocked them even more was that Nangong Hao actually used the most inappropriate period of time to write the answer sheet of the palace exam.
As we all know, the writing is done in one go, and the mind is calm and peaceful.
However, just now, it was the most noisy time period in the entire palace examination process, with discussions among the courtiers and a dialogue between Su Qing and Fang Zhengzhi.
But Nangong Hao still wrote.
And. It's still so short.
This can only show that Nangong Hao has entered a realm in the process of writing, a real state of mind, a state of mind that is not disturbed by the outside world at all.
"The heart of the Tao is natural...... This is Dao Heart Nature?!" Wu Feng's eyes looked at Nangong Hao, who was standing not far away in white, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart.
For the first time, he developed a fear of a person.
And it's a fear from the heart.
Su Qing also reacted at this time, looked at Nangong Hao, and then looked at the saint Lin Mubai, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a slightly changed face.
"Seal the scroll. Saint Lin Mubai finally spoke.
"Yes. Su Qing immediately responded.
When the other courtiers heard this, they did not speak again.
Because. If Fang Zhengzhi handed in the file alone, then they could charge Fang Zhengzhi's behavior with contempt for Emperor Wei, but they would hand in the file together with Nangong Hao.
What else can they deduct?
Don't. Is it deducted with Nangong Hao?
Su Qing had already come to Nangong Hao at this time, looked at the answer sheet deducted from the bookcase, took out the scroll seal in his hand and prepared to seal the test paper.
However, at this time, a hand directly stopped Su Qing's movements.
This hand is naturally Nangong Hao's.
"Nangong Gongzi. Don't you plan to hand it over?" Su Qing was a little puzzled.
"No, I just think Master Su has made a mistake?" Nangong Hao's gaze looked at Su Qing, and there was no wave in his eyes. The tone is calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"What's the matter?" Su Qing was even more puzzled.
"Master Su has entered the court hall since he participated in the imperial examination four years ago, from a royal pen writer, to the imperial envoy of the imperial academy, can't you even see who handed in the volume first?" Nangong Hao finished speaking, and his hand pointed directly towards Fang Zheng.
Su Qing was stunned for a moment.
Stunned with Su Qing were also the civil and military courtiers standing beside the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
"Can't you see who handed in the paper first?"
Of course, they understood the meaning of Nangong Hao's words, and they also knew who in Nangong Hao's words meant Fang Zheng.
However, what they didn't understand was why Nangong Hao said this, this was obviously a trivial matter, and the two of them handed in one after the other.
The envoy in charge of collecting the scroll first accepted the one who handed in the paper later, and then the one who handed in the paper before, and if he was not a person who was extremely calculating, he would not have any opinion at all.
So, is Nangong Hao the kind of person who is extremely calculating?
Of course not.
Then there is only one possibility, Nangong Hao did it on purpose.
Thinking about it like this, the courtiers suddenly had another idea in their hearts, if Nangong Hao's words were deliberate, then Nangong Hao's immediate follow-up was not intentional?
No one figured it out.
However, Su Qing still reacted quickly.
He is the second class of the court test in the same session as Nangong Hao, and he is also a fourth-grade courtier of the current dynasty, and now he is the temporary governor of the imperial academy, but in front of Nangong Hao, he is nothing.
At least, now he is nothing.
There will always be a chasm between the first and the second, a chasm that cannot be bridged.
Su Qing understands this very well, even if he is now the acting superintendent of the imperial envoy, even if he is an invigilator in this examination room, he still bows to Nangong Hao apologetically.
Immediately after, he turned around and saluted Fang Zhengzhi.
"I'm sorry, Lord Fang, it's me who made a mistake!" after Su Qing finished speaking. He also came to Fang Zhengzhi again and took out the sealed seal.
A hand quickly stopped Su Qing.
This hand is naturally square.
What's wrong with it?
Su Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, but he finally endured it.
"Lord Fang, aren't you going to hand it over?"
"No, I just think that Master Su is doing things, is there some lack of consideration?" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Su Qing lightly, and subconsciously looked at Nangong Hao not far away.
"How can you be inconsiderate?" Su Qing tried to make his tone calmer.
"Since Lord Su participated in the imperial examination four years ago, he has entered the imperial court, from a royal pen writer, to the imperial envoy of the imperial academy. Can't you even see who's near and who's far?"
"What do you mean?" Su Qing's face finally sank.
"Master Su has obviously walked to Nangong Hao's side, but he turned back halfway just because of the other party's words, this is a manifestation of an unfirm position, and you are willing to seek the near and far, and the behavior of coming over to collect my test papers first is a great act of delaying efficiency, just imagine, the big and small things in the Imperial Academy are so complicated, and Lord Su is doing things like this, I am very worried!" Fang Zhengzhi said the last sentence. It's also a melancholy expression on his face.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Working under a "actor" level figure like the saint Lin Mubai, you must show your acting skills to some extent, and you can't hide it too much.
As for why it is difficult for Su Qing.
That, of course, was intentional.
Reason?
There are two points. First, if Su Qing was allowed to put away the test paper like this, it would seem that he would be stained with Nangong Hao's light, but in terms of momentum, he would actually lose to Nangong Hao.
The courtiers who were standing could not understand. Fang Zhengzhi is clear in his heart.
Nangong Mu had looked for Fang Zhengzhi once when he left Yanjing, and he said very little, but. There is a sentence that is upright but remembers it clearly.
"I'm gone, he'll come!"
At that time, Fang Zhengzhi hadn't heard too clearly, but when Yanjing City spread all over Nangong Hao to participate in the palace exam, he would be really stupid if he didn't understand it again.
Fang Zhengzhi put down his bold words to challenge Nangong Hao.
Nangong Hao traveled thousands of miles to come, the purpose is of course obvious, to regain the dignity of the Nangong family, this point, from Fang Zhengzhi stood up and handed in the papers, Nangong Hao immediately handed in the papers, you can see it clearly.
Although Fang Zhengzhi didn't know how Nangong Hao did it, in fact, Nangong Hao really did it and completed a strategy in a short period of time.
Next, Nangong Hao's blow can be described as the best of the best.
Normally, the first person to hand in the paper is definitely the most stylish existence.
However, Nangong Hao's words that were ostensibly helping Fang Zheng pulled all the scenery to himself, which is a kind of scenery and a kind of momentum.
Nangong Hao came with momentum, how could he lose his momentum in the first game of the literary exam.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to fight against Nangong Hao, and he couldn't lose his momentum, so he unceremoniously kicked the "ball" back again.
Of course, it was Su Qing's face.
As for why Su Qing's face is used, this is the second reason, because Su Qing's face is thick enough and strong enough, at least, he can bear it.
Of course, the deep reason is naturally that Su Qing had already expressed his "fighting intent" to Fang Zhengzhi just now.
So, let's kill two birds with one stone.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all looking at me one by one at this time, and I am looking at you, all of them are full of surprise.
It's obvious.
Fang Zhengcheng is definitely intentional.
However, Fang Zheng's words can be said to be impeccable, and he borrowed Nangong Hao's words, which cannot be refuted at all.
The main thing is that this sentence is too ruthless.
Su Qingdai's position as the governor of the imperial envoy was issued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and there was no case at all in the Ministry of Officials, and there was no instruction from the Holy Lord, and now Fang Zhengzhi questioned it in public in front of the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
Moreover, it is still borrowed from Nangong Hao's words, for Su Qing, it is definitely a catastrophe, and with this setback, it is estimated that even the position of the acting governor and imperial envoy may not be guaranteed, let alone the direct promotion of the imperial envoy.
"Ruthless!"
"Ruthless!"
Originally, the courtiers all looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an outsider's eyes, and even if Fang Zhengzhi was talented, they always regarded Fang Zhengcheng as a commoner in a mountain village in their hearts.
I don't think there's anything terrible about Fang Zhengzhi at all.
Any courtier thinks he can step on a few feet.
However, now seeing Su Qing's expression that was so black that he could almost drip water, they all gasped in their hearts, who said that they didn't understand the government before they entered the court?
It's a living example in front of me.
Su Qing's face is indeed very dark now, there has never been a moment, he has been as black as he is now, four years ago, he lost to Nangong Hao in the court test.
Since then, he has cut off the intention of cultivation and entered the court with all his heart.
The reason is that he knows very well that Nangong Hao will not be able to enter the court no matter what.
If Nangong Hao's words were said just now, he hadn't fully understood them, and now that Fang Zhengzhi replied to this sentence, he really understood.
Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi are using themselves as chess pieces!
Moreover, he still uses his career to play chess.
This is an insult, Chiguoguo's insult, it is an insult that Su Qing absolutely can't bear.
His mind was spinning rapidly at this moment, and he knew that he had to solve the urgent need in front of him now, otherwise his future career would be ruined.
Then, it is impossible for your own plan to succeed.
Of course, it is impossible for him to refute Fang Zheng's words, because that is the next step, and if he really does that, his career will really be dark.
Now, the only thing he can do is to protect himself, which is the last plan in the middle of nothing, so what he needs to do is to prove his talent and ability to do things.
Use practical actions to change the "slander" caused by Fangzheng.
"Lord Wang, please seal the test paper of Nangong Gongzi. Su Qing's gaze looked at an imperial envoy beside him.
"Yes. An envoy nodded quickly, and then walked towards Nangong Hao.
Su Qing nodded, and then turned his head to look at Fang Zhengzhi again, and his face instantly returned to calm: "Young Master Fang, can you hand over the test paper to this official to seal it now?"
When the other courtiers saw this scene, they all nodded slightly.
Su Qing can come up with such a method in this situation, and it is indeed worthy of the word calm, a seemingly simple move, but it invisibly resolved all the problems of Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi.
Another imperial envoy went to collect Nangong Hao's test papers.
On his side, he stood still and received the upright test papers first.
In this way, whether it is Fang Zhengzhi or Nangong Hao, there is nothing to say.
"The children can be taught, the children can be taught!" The corners of Fang Zheng's mouth finally raised a smile, looked at Su Qing in front of him, and then handed the test paper in his hand to Su Qing.
Su Qing's originally calm face instantly darkened again, his hand was raised, put down, and raised again, and finally took the test paper with a strong breath.
"Thank you, Lord Fang, for your advice!"
And when the civil and military officials listened to Fang Zheng's words, their feet were weak, and they almost fell to the ground.
"Teachable?!"
"This guy is really shameless!"
