Chapter 208: Questioning the List
Seven or eight thousand candidates outside the Guozi prison have relatives and friends, servants and nearly 10,000 idlers in the capital, noisy and noisy, Kang Yunjin's voice originally couldn't set off the storm, but at this time, because the official who announced the announcement spoke, the audience was silent.
First, the promoter said Xue Qing's name, and then Kang Yunjin's shout sounded, which was exceptionally clear in the silence.
There were a lot of people around Kang Yunjin, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else shouted, and more people had not yet come back to their senses, but for the candidates, cheating was the most unpleasant word, and they were surprised and shouted for a while.
There was instant chaos outside the prison.
.....
.....
"It's..."
The candidates of Chang'an Mansion who were standing in the distance looked stunned, looking at the crowd in front of them like boiling water, from the previous noise to a commotion, surging, many people fell and shouted, and the officers and soldiers who were originally going to make a list could not move forward in it, shaking like a boat on the sea, and it was about to capsize in the next moment.
If you don't know how embarrassed it will be to be trampled on, everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Liantang again.
"Brother Liantang, you already knew this, so you didn't let us go to the front?" Chu Minghui glared, and looked around again, "I must have known that Xue Qing didn't come at all." ”
Zhang Liantang said with a smile: "I knew earlier, you should have known it earlier, didn't he keep saying that he wanted three yuan and the first." ”
Chu Minghui said: "I said it, but whoever wants him to say it is what it is, what is it." ”
Immortals?
Liu Chunyang on the side was silent for a moment and said, "It's chaotic, let's go." ”
Look at the officers and soldiers over there, it is difficult to move an inch...... I can't see it if it's messed up like this.
Zhang Liantang said: "Young Master Yanzi will send everyone's rankings to Zhizhitang." ”
They came here just to feel the atmosphere, and the teenagers of Chang'an Mansion stopped stepping forward and turned around with Zhang Liantang.
They are not the only ones who can't see the list, the riots outside the prison of Guozi continue and cannot be listed, and the news shakes the court.
.....
.....
"If you report the name of Huiyuan, it will cause a riot among the candidates, and you can't even post the list?"
There are hundreds of officials gathered in the court, and the emperor is also waiting for the results of the current department, but he waited for the news first, and the prime minister Wang Lieyang was very unhappy.
"Every time the list is released, there is a riot, but this year is particularly strong. ”
"There was Mr. Qingxia before, and the candidates were already uneasy..."
“.. This time, someone shouted cheating, which poked the nervous minds of the candidates, so it was chaotic all of a sudden..."
The officials in the court said one after another.
Wang Lieyang said: "The results of 8,000 candidates are all screened and set by the examiners, and a word of fraud will make trouble to prevent the list from being announced, which is really ridiculous, what kind of system." ”
Jiang Xian said on the side: "The time can't be delayed, the list will be announced immediately, and the craftsmanship will be announced, and you can see if you are satisfied or not." "Ordered to mobilize officers and soldiers to disperse the candidates.
Song Yuan smiled on the side.
An official was annoyed: "Lord Song, what are you laughing at?" ”
Song Yuan said: "It's nothing, I just thought that you were very amiable to these scholars and candidates before, and you were willing to beat them." ”
Wang Lieyang said: "The rewards and punishments are clear, and the materials for governance are also, so it's not surprising that Lord Song doesn't know." ”
Many officials next to him lowered their heads and chuckled, and Song Yuan turned his head and asked the side: "What do you mean?"
The person next to him happened to be a speech official, and said unceremoniously with a cold face: "It means that Lord Song is a waste." ”
Song Yuan said angrily: "I can't even take a test, who is the waste." ”
That Yu Shi He was afraid of him, and immediately retorted, and the court was suddenly noisy.
Chen Sheng shouted: "Don't make any noise, the imperial examination is a major event, disturbing the great crime and causing disaster to the country and the people." ”
The court was quiet, and Qin Tan said fairly: "If there are not enough people, the criminal department can be transferred." ”
Wang Lieyang nodded at him and said, "There is no need for the Criminal Department now. Looking at the hall, he said in a deep voice, "If someone tries to make trouble, it must be strictly investigated." ”
With the order of the adults in the court, thousands of officers and soldiers dispersed the troublesome old men from the inside and outside to split a road, and when the list was posted in front of everyone's eyes, the sun had already set.
As soon as the list was posted, it was ironclad, and the candidates who were in turmoil actually knew in their hearts that they were fooling around before, so let's pay attention to their results first, as long as they are hit, no matter who will be the yuan, they can't be it anyway, and the front of the list is restored, and the crowds of people are crowded around, and from time to time I am hit or I am not in the sky and there are no eyes laughing and crying.
In fact, they don't need to squeeze it, their own trumpeters sing loudly, but this kind of thing is still the excitement of seeing it with their own eyes.
Kang Yunjin finally squeezed in front of the wall and looked at the shining ink characters in the glow.
"Brother Yunjin, congratulations, you are one hundred and seventy-eight, and you have been hit. The people around him shouted, patting him on the shoulder.
Kang Yunjin didn't look at his own name, but the name at the top.
Xue Qing.
"This is cheating!" he shouted, "he is a gentleman's examiner!
Although it was noisy all around, there were still many people who heard him, and they were no strangers to him, and they had been shouting for a long time, but everyone didn't see the results before, and they didn't think about the results at this time.
"What's wrong with the gentleman test candidate?" a voice sounded in the crowd, "I am the gentleman test candidate, and I passed the test." ”
Such a voice immediately sounded, and sure enough, as everyone expected, this time many candidates for the gentleman's examination were selected.
Kang Yunjin said: "I never said that the candidates for the gentleman's examination can't be selected, but this Xue Qing will never be able to be taken as Huiyuan!" He turned to look at everyone, "Huiyuan, what is Huiyuan?
How hard and difficult it is to study for the imperial examination, everyone present knows that they have relatives when they hear it, but some people refute it.
"How can it be judged by age? There are many people who have been awarded the rank of junior scholar at the age of fourteen or fifteen. ”
"Kang Yunjin, you are old and talented, you can't be jealous of other people's youth. ”
Kang Yunjin looked angry and said, "Why did I question him because of his age?" I only made a few articles because of his articles?"
Xue Qing's poems are popular, and the article has indeed never been seen.
"Put his article out and let me wait and see. Someone shouted, "Whether it's a genius or a mediocre talent, you can tell at a glance." ”
There is no need for candidates to shout at this point, there are many people waiting to read Xue Qing's article.
The chief examiner of the general examination with a group of deputy examiners and the top five test papers with the results of the list have gone to the court.
.....
.....
Because of waiting for the results to be sent, the court meeting was temporarily stopped, the little emperor was invited to the apse to rest and eat, the hundred officials waited in the side hall, and the eunuchs sent refreshments and snacks, so that everyone could cushion their stomachs, and the four auxiliary ministers naturally did not have to squeeze here, and each went back to his own duty room.
"I know that Xue Qing is quite talented, but it is really unexpected to be able to win Huiyuan. ”
"Although it is said that Mr. Qingxia is a senior disciple, he is young and participates in the imperial examination for the first time, which is really an unprecedented genius. ”
"Whether it's a wizard or something else, we'll see. ”
"The candidates outside are still clamoring for cheating. ”
In the side hall, the officials couldn't take a break, gathered together in twos and threes, and talked about it.
"Did you notice that it was a little weird from the beginning.... In previous years, there was no such thing as a dead exam. An official whispered, looking out through the high window, the twilight was deep, and the palace lights were lighting up one by one, "Something is going to happen." ”
The fire twist sounded softly, and the lit light filled the room instantly.
Wang Lieyang sat on a soft chair, with refreshments and snacks in front of him, but he obviously had no intention of using it, and there were five officials standing in the room, all with solemn expressions.
"Xiangye, this is really an accident, Huiyuan turned out to be Xue Qing, we obviously arranged Ruan Sili. An official whispered, annoyed again, "Who did this Xue Qing interfere with?"
Wang Lieyang tapped his fingers on the handrail and said, "The only people who can intervene in this court are Chen Sheng and Qin Tangong." ”
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
"It seems to be Chen Sheng. One person said in a deep voice, "We just want to prevent him from inciting other candidates to make trouble by taking advantage of the good results of the Junzi Test candidates, so we chose Ruan Sili, who is outstanding in literature, to block Youyou's mouth, and now Xue Qing, who was born in the Junzi Test, actually won Huiyuan, how can other candidates give up." ”
Wang Lieyang knocked on the handrail and said, "If you don't give up, you won't stop, just one Xue Qing wants to disturb the test, and it's not so easy." Looking at everyone and smiling, "Even if you are a senior disciple of Mr. Qingxia, you have to admit your mistakes if you make mistakes." ”
Since the person who should not be in the Huiyuan won the Huiyuan, then he should naturally bear all the faults himself.
Everyone in the room nodded, but one of them wrinkled his brows, what if, what should he do?
......
......
Qin Tangong did not rest and eat, but came to the palace of the little emperor.
"Your Majesty has eaten a bowl of rice. The big eunuch said, looking at the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair.
The little emperor nodded and looked at Qin Tangong expectantly.
Qin Tangong smiled: "Wipe the rice grains from the corners of your mouth and go play for a while." ”
The little emperor happily jumped off the dragon chair, the big eunuch wiped his hands and face, and pulled the little emperor to sit down in front of a few cases on the side, where there was a sand table with a small flag made of wood, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and seven or eight little eunuchs knelt in front of several cases and accompanied the little emperor to play.
Qin Tangong sat down at the head of the dragon chair.
"Unexpectedly, let this Xue Qing get Huiyuan, these old guys are quite shameless. Song Yuan said on the side.
Qin Tan said fairly: "It really wasn't them who did it this time." ”
Song Yuan and the other three people in the room all looked at him with surprised expressions, didn't they?
Song Yuan said: "Is that what Grandpa meant?" and then stroked his palm and looked at the other two, "Gao Ming, let these two guys eat dogs." ”
The other two officials also nodded.
"That's it. ”
"It's fun, and we're here to help. ”
Qin Tan said fairly: "That's not what I meant. ”
The three people in the room were stunned again, could it be that there was a fourth person in the court? Who is it? The three parties didn't even know, and what was their intention? The three of them suddenly looked nervous.
Qin Tangong waved his hand and said, "It's Qin Mei." ”
It turned out to be the little grandfather, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, their own people...
"As the saying goes, a father and son go into battle. Song Yuan said with a smile, "The little grandfather has relieved his worries for the grandfather." Stroking his hands again, "This is a wonderful thing." ”
"Lord Song used to want to teach Xue Qing a lesson for the little grandfather. Another official said with a smile, "The little grandfather is silent and this hand is so beautiful, which not only makes Wang Lieyang and Chen Sheng anxious, but also puts that Xue Qing on the fire." ”
Song Yuan nodded with a smile and waved his hand, ashamed and ashamed.
Qin Tangong interrupted them and said, "He's not for me, and he won't think about what you say." ”
Song Yuan paused, and the other two were stunned again.
"Then, the little grandfather's move...."Song Yuan said, I really don't know how to praise it.
Qin Tan said fairly: "Who knows the thoughts of young people." ”
I don't know.... Don't ask?
Qin Tan said fairly: "Young people's affairs are solved by young people by themselves, some small things, no need to ask." He got up and walked to the side of the case, watched the little emperor and the little eunuchs having fun, and said, "Your Majesty is going to lose." ”
The little emperor looked up at Qin Tangong and said with a blank eye: "What about that?"
Qin Tangong didn't give a point, and said, "Your Highness thinks for yourself." ”
The little emperor had to move the little wooden man flag by himself, and after a while, he heard the little eunuchs giggling and winning, and Qin Tangong ordered to do it again, leaning over and pointing, with a serious expression, as if he was really arranging troops to fight, rather than playing with colorful wooden people on the stage.
Song Yuan and the three of them glanced at each other, not daring to come forward to disturb.
"Whatever it is, it's not bad for us anyway, let's see the fun. Song Yuan said in a low voice.
.....
.....
"Whoever wrote it, things were in trouble. ”
Kang Dai sighed lightly, picked up the tea and put it down, the palace imperial food was exquisite, and he had no intention of eating it.
"How many people did we originally arrange to take the exam?" Chen Sheng asked.
Shi Qingtang, who was sitting on the other side, said, "Two hundred and ten." ”
Mr. Runze, who was sitting in an inconspicuous position on the side, shook his head and said, "It's too bad to use." ”
If you check the results like this, and then point out that people don't learn enough, and if the article is not good, it's cheating.
"Don't think about who arranged it, what we have to do now is to keep Xue Qing. Chen Sheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "The fraud must be suppressed." ”
From the use of agitation to fraud to the current need to stop the really polar change, the previous arrangement has to be nullified, and it is really unprepared.
"The world is so impermanent, and you don't have to be depressed. Chen Sheng said, "There is always a solution." ”
"That's what Xiang Ye said. Mr. Runze said, "It's nothing, just push it to Mr. Qingxia's case." ”
Shi Qingtang said: "Yes, Xue Qing is a disciple of Mr. Qingxia, it is not enough to force Mr. Qingxia to death, and he has to ruin his students in the name of fraud, and also ruin his name, how poisonous his heart is." ”
As he spoke, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Xiangye, the main list and the test paper have arrived. ”
Chen Sheng got up, and Kang Dai and the others also hurriedly got up.
"Alright, let's take a look. Chen Sheng said without hesitation and walked out.
Kang Dai Shi Qingtang followed, only Mr. Runze remained indoors, cleaned up a few books on a few cases, and then walked out, unlike Chen Sheng and others to the Qinzheng Palace, he went to the other side, and soon disappeared into the palace where the palace lights were swaying at night.
The palace shrouded in night was brightly lit, and according to the officials who re-entered it, when Wang Lieyang, Chen Sheng, Qin Tan, Gonglu Yan stood in front of them, the eunuchs invited the emperor to take a seat, and the officials visited again.
The little emperor looked at the few extra people in the hall, the scrolls they held in their hands, and the big boxes on the ground, a little curious.
The examiner Han Xun is fifty-four years old, and his face is black and he doesn't look old, but his face is red at this time, and he is obviously very excited.
"I have been an official for thirty years, and I have been a scholar by the grace of His Majesty, how can I not know the importance of etiquette, how can I cheat for personal gain and rank indiscriminately?" his angry voice echoed in the hall, "I will never be insulted by this." ”
The deputy chief examiner and others held the scroll up and said, "This is the list of today's subjects." ”
But no one is paying attention to this now.
Wang Lieyang said: "Lord Han, don't worry, this is a very good judgment, take out Xue Qing's test paper and everyone will know it at a glance." ”
The officials present chimed in.
Han Xun flicked his sleeves and said, "Unpack." ”
Two people were busy opening the box, and Huiyuan's roll was naturally placed on the top......
"Wait. Chen Sheng said, "It's better to take a straw roll." "Look at Wang Lieyang," Wang Xiangye said? After all, the main paper is transcribed, or the candidate's original draft paper is more convincing. ”
Wang Lieyang smiled and nodded: "What Chen Xiangye said is extremely true. ”
Han Xun's expression was even more annoyed, but he didn't say anything more, and said coldly: "Open the grass roll." ”
The two men opened another box, which was densely packed with rolls of paper.
"I have been prepared for a long time, and I have already found Xue Qing's grass scroll from it. Han inquired, personally took out a thick roll from it, and stretched it forward, "Please take a look." ”
Wang Lieyang and Chen Sheng didn't answer, the two looked at each other again and smiled.
"Then please read it first. The two of them laughed at the same time and raised their hands to please.
Cheng Luyan, who sat at the head of the emperor and rarely spoke, did not refuse, got up and walked to take the roll of paper and opened it, the eyes of all the officials looked at his hand, and the lights in the hall reflected different expressions, curious, surprised, speculative, smiling, sneering, melancholy, uneasy, indifferent, and gloating.
Lu Yan was not disturbed by these sights, his expression was solemn and his eyes were sharp, looking at the test papers, word by word, with the movement of his eyes, his expression began to change, indifferent, slightly moved, surprised, relaxed, and then raised his thick eyebrows, as if flying...... Suddenly, he closed the roll of paper in his hand, and then paced in front of the hall, muttering as if he was reading.
Chen Sheng and Wang Lieyang were stunned.
"Lu Zhongcheng?" Wang Lieyang said.
Lu Yan, who was pacing, stopped abruptly, raised his head to look at him, his expression was dazed for a moment, and he came back to his senses in an instant.
The officials in the palace were also in an uproar.
Under what circumstances can a prominent minister of the court forget himself before a serious matter in the court?
Shi Qingtang, who was standing in it, suddenly turned his head, looked at Kang Dai beside him, looked strange, and said, "That, I forgot to ask, how is this Xue Qing's article?"
