"Let you say it, just say, what don't you dare, this Xiao Zixiu, it is really extraordinary, this son passed the children's examination at the age of eleven, and was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fourteen. At the age of seventeen, he was lifted and won the Xie Yuan crown of Henan Mansion that year, he is twenty years old this year, and he is the first place in the examination, if he is handpicked as the champion again this time......"

"Since the founding of our Great Song Dynasty, there have been two big three yuan, one is Sun He during the Taizu period, and the other is Wang Zeng, who is currently the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but these two are only big three yuan, but not small three yuan, if Xiao Zixiu is named the champion at this time, he will be the first person to obtain both the small three yuan and the big three yuan since the founding of my dynasty. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Song Zhenzong glanced at Wu En lightly and said.

"Then, official, do you think his article matches his reputation?" Wu En cautiously answered.

"With today's scientific examination system in our dynasty, the probability of being able to kill the first name of Tong Sheng to the first place in the test is very low, this time Enke, there are several students' articles that are quite good, such as Song Zhen, and Yu Jing, especially Song Zhen, with his level, if it is placed in any other session, I am afraid that it will be a figure like Sun He and Wang Zeng, but this time, his article and Xiao Zixiu are still a certain gap."

"This gap does not refer to the literary style, but refers to the vision, the overall situation and the understanding of the actual situation of the country, Xiao Zixiu's policy, although I never think that I am a wise and martial artist, the monarch who swallows mountains and rivers, but after seeing his strategy, I can't help but give birth to a sense of enthusiasm, his article is different from other students, there is no overly flowery rhetoric, but every word is beautiful, majestic, and the most important thing is that several policies and strategies put forward in his policy have great feasibility of landing."

"Even if I rarely go out, I also know that people who can write such articles, in addition to being full of talent, also know the customs and people's livelihood in various parts of my Song Realm...... such articles.

Wu En quietly observed Song Zhenzong's expression, he was very smart and had no interface, if Song Zhenzong really felt that Xiao Zixiu was so good, he would directly appoint him as the champion, he would not be so entangled, let alone ask himself a eunuch, he had served Song Zhenzong for more than 30 years, and he was extremely favored by Song Zhenzong, relying on a person who knew the times and acted prudently.

He knows his position very well, although Song Zhenzong is not a particularly eloquent monarch, but he is not a faint monarch, plus there are powerful ministers such as Jiang Ge Lao in the court, as a eunuch, if he wants to do any tricks to flatter the lord without power, it is to find death, in such a major matter as hand-picking the champion, how dare he interject casually.

"However, he is too bold, not only is his policy and strategy well written, but his criticism of the lack of government is also to the point, and at the same time, his relationship with Zhen'er is too close." Song Zhenzong saw that Wu En hung his head and didn't say anything, and he didn't force him, and after slowing down for a while, he spat out another sentence in his mouth.

He said this lightly, but Wu En was so frightened that he trembled, what does the official mean by this? Dissatisfied with Jiang Ge's question? Or don't you want a strong force behind the King of Shouchun County? Or both?

The chief examiner of this examination is Jiang Ge Lao, for this reason, he is fully responsible for the examination questions of Enke, before the examination papers are not issued, even the official family does not know the topic, not only that, Jiang Ge Lao is very cold to his own prince and grandson, but he is quite kind to the king of Shouchun County, and the king of Shouchun County can return smoothly, and Jiang Ge Lao has a great relationship......

The thought fell here, Wu En only felt that his heart was raised to his throat, and his head hung lower, although he was the eunuch supervisor who was deeply relied on and favored by Zhenzong, but he would never dare to interject half a sentence about Jiang Ge Lao, Zhenzong raised his eyes and glanced at his close attendant, sighed slightly in his heart, but did not ask anything more, yes, Jiang Ge Lao, this monument-like character, not to mention Wu En, even if he is really dissatisfied with him, what dare he do to him......

A day passed quickly, early the next morning, the public examination raised the son again came to the Jiying Hall to be summoned by the emperor, Song Zhenzong noisy five students into the inner hall on-site examination, about an hour later, this year's Jinshi list finally came down, one hundred and thirty-six people on the examination list, again was swept down fifteen people, was officially entered into the Jinshi list, a total of only one hundred and twenty-one.

The first first, Jinshi and the first, a total of three people, the third Tanhua Yu Jing, the second place on the list of Song Itch, the first champion Xiao Zixiu, Yu Jing is twenty-one years old, from Guangdong Mansion; Song itch is twenty-five years old, and Xiao Zixiu is in general, the same from Henan Mansion, if there is no Xiao Zixiu this pervert, with his talent and literary talent, he can completely pick up this year's big three yuan (note, Song itch, this is the second year of Song Renzong Tiansheng (1024) Jinshi, but also the third big three yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, but now it is the new Song Dynasty, the author needs to advance the time of his examination by three years for the plot, it should not be an exaggeration, please don't be serious about the book friends who are good at historiography. The second first, from Jinshi, a total of seventy-six people, one Chuanyu, and the third first, from the same Jinshi, a total of forty-two people.

"Brother Song, I didn't expect you to lose to Xiao Zixiu in the provincial examination and become the second, you were the second when you could take the test, and now you are still the second in the palace exam, it seems that your 10,000-year-old second is decided!" Coming out of Jiying Palace, after the list of Jinshi was announced, Zhang Gu, who came from a college with Song Qi and is now also a Jinshi on the Gold List, looked at him with a smile and said.

"Xiao Zi's cultivation is indeed above me, I lost to him and was convinced, what's the use of you provoking? Besides, you're a top three fellow jinshi, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me? Song Qi glanced at Zhang Gu coldly, and said lightly, Song Qi is arrogant, but he is by no means stupid, Xiao Zixiu pressed him during the provincial test, and he was a little angry at that time.

But when he took the exam before the emperor, he listened to Zi Xiu's answers, and after circulating his article, the unconvincing in his heart has dissipated cleanly, it is normal for a person to be proud of talent, but if there is no arrogance in the name of self-knowledge, it is stupid and ignorant of the so-called, Song Qi, the family and prime minister with a high reputation in the history books of later generations, will definitely not be a person who is both stupid and ignorant of the so-called.

When Zixiu came out of the hall, he happened to hear the conversation between Song Qi and Zhang Gu, he looked at Song Qi with some surprise, for Song Qi, he naturally had an impression, although the two of them were not from the same county, and they had never studied in the same academy, but when he took the provincial exam, he was ranked next to his own name, and the same was true when he would take the test. would admit so frankly that he is inferior to others.
