However, it can be analyzed that Chen Musa has a deep affection for Emperor Jiajing, much more than King Yu, if they are not father and son, but brothers, the teacher will definitely stand firmly on the side of Emperor Jiajing.

He thought about it and understood that Emperor Jiajing's secret decree was the same as the one he gave to Yan Song and others, it was full of riddles, and it took special people or special means to understand.

This is not like decoding, after all, there are rules to follow in decoding, it seems that people who have spiritual resonance characteristics with Emperor Jiajing can understand his language, Yan Song's son Yan Donglou is one of them, take it and look at it to know what Emperor Jiajing wants to say, and the teacher seems to be such a person.

Moreover, after reading all the secret decrees of Emperor Jiajing, I still don't know what to do, but I can understand the meaning of some fragments, and the whole article is as difficult to understand as the "Tao Te Ching".

It's really boring for oneself to make people smart.

The emperor is good at Taoism, maybe he really understands the true meaning of the Tao Te Ching?

The teacher's science also has a part of Taoist thought, and perhaps because of this, the two felt that they knew each other, and they were able to maintain a secret correspondence for many years.

Besides, I thought so in my heart.

That night, the city of Nanjing was boiling.

Chen Yixue, the chief examiner of the Nanjing Township Examination and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, drove into Nanjing City.

Nanjing's big and small officials, Confucian celebrities all set up a colorful shed ten miles outside the city to welcome the arrival of the great master, after drinking a few glasses of dismount wine, a team of people and horses entered the city in a mighty way, went straight to the largest restaurant in Nanjing, for the great master and his party to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Along the way, the students followed the team and stretched their necks to watch, and they were also discussing, all wanting to see the true face of the great master, as if they could be named on the gold list if they saw the true face of the great master earlier.

Students from all over the country who came to Nanjing to take the examination have already arrived in Nanjing City, not only the inns in the city are overcrowded, even the monks' houses outside the city are also rented out, and the riverview houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River have also poured into a large number of students.

Tang Bohu pushed open the window, looked outside, and said loudly with emotion and anger: "Look at who dares to say that Qin Huai Fengyue is only a dog and a horse, let them listen to the sound of reading aloud." ”

Wen Zhengming said with a smile: "Wen Bin doesn't know what kind of mood he is in now, anyway, we have suffered this sin, it is really hellish when I think about it." ”

Shen Zhou smiled: "So you are not as good as me, I don't want this false name at all, and I won't suffer this crime." ”

"You are self-aware, and you know that you can't pass the test, so you just give up. Tang Bohu said unceremoniously.

"What about getting in, aren't you two like me, making a living from calligraphy and painting?" Shen Zhou held a wine jug and took a sip from time to time, but he was chic and happy.

The great grandmaster entered the city, which also heralded the arrival of the township examination, all the candidates put down other thoughts, began to sharpen the guns, all with the idea of unhappiness and light, this night began, Nanjing City was lit up everywhere, Jin Wu couldn't help it, the sound of reading Lang Lang converged into a sea of sound, stirring in the sky over Nanjing City.

"It's a great time. ”

Lian Daning was in the residence of the Yamen, who was also pushing open the window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside, listening to the sound of reading in the whole city, and was very excited.

"Teacher, senior brother is still a little sure this time, right?" asked one of his students, who meant Zhou Wenbin.

"Well, there is not much hope, his article is hot enough, but he is slow thinking, and he will do it very well at home, but in the examination room, it is not enough to make a good article within the specified time, which requires practicing fast hand kung fu. I let him go because I wanted him to experience it and win it in one fell swoop next year. ”

"But the teacher can usually let the senior brother practice according to this method, why do you have to let him practice, I heard that if he suffers a setback, it will have a very bad impact on the future exam. "This disciple didn't understand the teacher's arrangement.

"It's useless to ask for anything, the examination room is like a battlefield, and if you don't experience that atmosphere, it's not good to practice, and you can only experience it when you enter the number room of the examination booth. Many students usually make an article easily within the specified time, but as soon as they enter the examination room, they feel numb in their brains, their hands and feet are weak, and they have no ideas. As for setbacks, if a person can't stand setbacks, he doesn't want to make a big difference, and who can have smooth sailing all his life and grow old safely? I have never seen it, and people must be able to withstand setbacks in order to have real achievements. Lian Daning answered sternly and patiently.

"The disciple has been taught. The student's face turned yellow, and he wondered if the exam room could be even more terrifying than what the teacher said.

"My lord, this dynasty rules the world, tonight's weather can be described as prosperous, I heard that the national teacher in the capital calculated that the solution of the Nanjing Township Test will be the champion of the next palace test, I still don't believe it, but when I see tonight's weather, it seems that there is really a providence. One of Lian Daning's staff members looked outside and said with emotion.

"That is, the country's nurses have been around for a hundred years, and tonight's weather is a comprehensive embodiment of the achievements of the country's monks. Another staff member said.

"How fortunate is my generation, if I don't do something, I will live up to this prosperous life. Lian Daning was moved by the scene outside, and he felt a lot of emotion.

"My lord, Wen Bin, this kid usually does an excellent job of writing, and he is one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, why do you always think that he has no chance with the gold list?" said a staff member.

"Wenbin is suitable for the kind of articles that are carefully crafted and work slowly, but how can you allow you to come so slowly by your own temperament in the examination room. The examination room is most suitable for the kind of talent who relies on Ma Wanyan and writes immediately. I let Wen Bin get off the field, just to let him feel the atmosphere and regulations of the examination room, and then this feeling will take root in his heart, and when he makes an article in the future, he will consciously follow this feeling, which can also change his habit of making articles. Lian Daning explained.

"Your Excellency has taken such pains to serve Wen Bin," said one of the aides.

"I suffered a lot of losses in this area back then, so I deeply understand that I don't want Wenbin to repeat my mistakes, so I want him to adapt to these in advance. ”

Lian Daning said, suddenly sighed, what he was most angry about was that besides, this kid was disobedient.

In his mind, he is the kind of talent who is quick to think and write ten thousand words. If you end up, even if you can't get the first place in the township exam, the ranking will be very high, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to run, unless the examiner is blind.

Although all the students who are famous in Sun Shan will scold the examiner for being blind, in fact, it is really not, all the examiners who mark the papers are carefully selected people, and most of them are from Jinshi, and the eye for reading the article is absolutely stable and ruthless, and good articles will not be missed.

It's a pity that he doesn't make the decision, the initiative is in the hands of the old master, and he can't interfere too much. Another thing that he couldn't think of was that the old master, who was extremely harsh on himself and others, was treated ten times stricter than him, but he was spoiled in a different way, completely adopting the way of free-range, he really couldn't think of how the old master planned to do so, did he really follow the will of the situation and not let him participate in the imperial examination?

As a Jinshi born in his family, Kedi is already a deep-rooted thinking, literati are to rely on the fame of the imperial examination to glorify themselves, there is no other way, no matter how much money you have, no matter how prominent your background, you can't be more glorious than a Jinshi, and you can double your worth.

Besides, if it was just his disciple, he would have taken the whip a long time ago and forced him to end the game, if his own son was like this, he would definitely serve in the family law, but unfortunately it was not. Moreover, he is a disciple of the old master's mantle, and he is also a son-in-law. Lian Daning had no choice but to put his breath in his stomach, and the date of the township exam was getting closer and closer day by day, and his depression was getting worse day by day.

After students from all over the world gathered in Nanjing, everyone's information was basically submitted, and Guozijian began to post the popular characters with the title of this gold list, which is also a fixed program for each township examination of Guozijian.

From the first place Xie Yuan to the tenth place, it is known as the Dragon Gate List, which means that the characters on these lists will definitely jump over the Dragon Gate and turn into a dragon.

The latter ones are next to the second, from the eleventh to the fiftieth, which can only be called the carp list, and the fifty outside the list has no name, and the market jokingly calls it the grass carp list.

The major casinos are also starting horsepower, understanding the information of these popular talents, and then opening a gambling plate for each person, betting on whether these people can win the lift, how many places can be won, the gambling methods here are complicated, all kinds of types you want to bet on, all depend on your luck to choose.

The government originally banned the casino and half forbidden, when the court ordered the strict prohibition, it was banned more ruthlessly, after the limelight, it slowly relaxed, but it was never completely released, but every time the gambling game of the township test, the government never asked, and even the court acquiesced, thinking that this is not gambling, but enthusiastic about the country's imperial examination cause, which is actually a graceful thing to help the fun.

Wen Bin is not on the list, he doesn't even make it to the grass carp list, and his name is not on the handicap of major casinos. Obviously, the shortcomings of those Wenbin mentioned by Lian Daning, these people also know it clearly, and the name of Jiangnan genius has completely lost its brilliance at this time. For the imperial examination, the fame of the market has no effect, and the great literati have not been promoted to the jinshi or even the promotion of people in their lives, and there are many more.

Wen Bin has no complaints about this, he also knows his shortcomings, Lian Daning has taken the trouble to dissect the advantages and disadvantages of his articles for him many times, what he needs is not the name on the township test gold list, but to accumulate on-the-spot experience.

"You're almost done with your suffering. However, I heard that it was even more bitter in the examination room, and I had to suffer three days of sin. Sisi leaned against Wen Bin's side and said.

Wen Bin's grinding gun has long ended, and if he wants to grind it again, it will not be light, but the gun will be grinded bald, this is what's more, so he has been completely relaxed in the past two days, don't talk about books, even hide his pen and ink, don't let himself see it, just grinding with the slightest ear and sideburns every day, enjoying the unique warmth between the two.
