The person who came was Yu Shenxing, the chief examiner of the Henan Township Examination.

Yu Shenxing, the word can be far away, and the word is innocent, Dong'a people. In the second year of Longqing, he was selected as a scholar and awarded the editor. After the death of Longqing, he participated in the compilation of Mu Zong's records in the first year of Wanli, and compiled them in Shenxing.

He was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and he was originally ranked average, but he was the sixty-first in the second grade, but he was extremely talented after all, and he did very well in the Shu Ji Shi exam, especially after the Shu Ji Shi was disbanded, he was valued by his master Zhang Juzheng, and was recommended to Gao Gong.

At that time, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were still allies, and after understanding that he was too cautious, he also valued him more. Later, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng fell, but Yu Shenxing was not affected, and even after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he was recommended by Gao Gong as a lecturer on the feast.

In fact, Gao Shishi knew Yu Shenxing before he resigned, after all, he was the emperor's lecturer, and he was the emperor's companion, so he not only knew him, but also called Yu Shenxing "Mr. Yu".

However, the trouble is that Yu Shenxing is a person who only admits death, he always feels that his teacher Zhang Juzheng's fall was framed, and the person who framed him must be related to Gao Pragmatism, even if he is not Gao Pragmatic!

Why? Yu Shenxing has been a Japanese speaker for six years, and he still doesn't know the situation in the inner court? In addition to Gao Pragmatic in the inner court, who has such a strong connection, coaxes the two palaces and the emperor around, and calls Huang Mengyu, Chen Ju and other "internal ministers" as family members?

Of course, this is just Yu Shenxing's opinion, of course, Gao Pragmatism will not call Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju as the masters, and he will never coax the two palaces and the emperor when he has nothing to do, in fact, his 99 years are all about behaving and honestly deceiving people, in fact, honest people do it best, so Gao Pragmatism has always behaved very gentlemanly and honest in front of the two palaces and the emperor.

Gao Pragmatism has no good way to reverse Shen Xing's attitude, although he knows that when Zhang Juzheng was in the country in history, Yu Shen Xing still fell out with Zhang Juzheng because of his admitting death, but Zhang Juzheng is gone, and this file is naturally gone, and now there is only one Yu Lecturer and Yu Examiner who have prejudices against his high pragmatism.

Gao Pragmatic even doubted that if Yu Shenxing knew that Xie Yuanjuan was written by himself, he would still choose to take it. No wind note: The examiner does not know who the paper is before taking the test, not only the name and other items are sealed, but also the text is a transcription, and the ink paper written by the candidate will be archived.

At this time, as soon as Yu Shenxing came, all the new imperial examinees stood honestly, waiting for the examiners and others to go up to salute, and then it was their turn.

Gao pragmatic is Xie Yuan, and he has to be the first to step forward, so it is equivalent to Shen Xing and the officials and examiners of the Political Division, and sit down in the middle hall, he stepped forward as usual, walked in front of Yu Shenxing, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and said: "Students meet Master Yu Gong." ”

Yu Shenxing nodded, there was no expression on his face, and he even paused, and only said when the people around him couldn't help but look at each other: "Be pragmatic, although your paper has been transcribed, in fact, I can see at a glance that it is your handwriting." ”

Gao Pragmatic was shocked in his heart, and secretly complained: Old Yu, old Yu, don't take me with you if you die by yourself!

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Shenxing's words came out, the hall was in an uproar. What does this mean, you recognized Gao Pragmatic's article from someone, and in order to tie up with the new Zheng Gao's family, you ordered a solution yuan to him? It's shameless!

But Yu Shenxing's face was very serious, he stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling the people present to be calm and restless, and then continued to say in an emotionless voice: "It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, because your article should be this year's champion." When he said this, he looked up at everyone, suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "You should know that I don't need to preside over the Henan Township Test according to the rules, but why did I come?" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, but they also knew that what he said was the truth, Henan Township Examination is generally to send a scholar to do the main exam, sometimes the emperor may even directly point to the provincial school administration as the main exam, why this year is "high" with a Hanlin revision, the feast day lecturer over?

Yu Shenxing's face was solemn, and he bowed to the north: "Yu is here, and the emperor personally selected it!" ”

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes one by one, Yu Shenxing did not panic at all, and continued: "Before leaving, the emperor said to me: Xinzheng Gao's Zhongzhou Wang family, Gao Shishi, even if he asks questions in the sky, if he does too well in the exam, he will inevitably be slandered by the villain. Mr. Yu is fair, and he is not a protégé of the Gao family, and please choose talents for me to be impartial. ”

After hearing this, everyone looked towards Gao Pragmatic, and their faces showed great envy, this is His Majesty the Emperor personally standing for Gao Pragmatic!

The meaning of the emperor's words is just that: I think that Gao Pragmatic must be high school Xie Yuan, but his family's reputation in Henan is too high, if it is really Zhongyuan Xiyuan, someone must slander it in private, which is really not beautiful. You Teacher Yu is not a high party, and you even have some disagreements with the high party, so you go to do this main exam, if the selected Xie Yuan is still highly pragmatic, there is no gossip in the world, right?

Yu Shenxing no matter how envious everyone was, his face was still solemn, and he said lightly: "For the sake of justice, and also for the sake of the holy will, this official will not only publish your articles as usual, but also make an exception to stay in Kaifeng Mansion for ten days. In addition, as the official just said, Gao Shishi's article this time should be the current leader, and if any of you are not convinced, you can also come to discuss the scholarly article with the official, and the official welcomes it as well. ”

The new imperial examination present, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and don't dare to say anything.

Why? Yu Shenxing's literary reputation is extremely prosperous!

He is one of the representatives of the "Three Families of Shanzuo" and "Qi Feng" together with Feng Qi and Gong Nai, and they jointly promoted the exhibition of Shanzuo poetry in the early Wanli period. His Taishan poems and essays not only surpassed the number of literary bigwigs Wang Shizhen, but also had their own distinctive characteristics, and was praised by Shilin as "enough to match the seven sons of the front and back".

His words can be regarded as using his reputation for half a lifetime to guarantee Gao Pragmatic!

Gao Shishi was also a little confused, and said secretly: It's strange, Yu Shenxing is a well-known stubborn donkey, how can this be?

But before he could understand the truth, Yu Shenxing changed the topic again, sat down again, and asked in the tone of a master: "Be pragmatic, others will take words if they pass the exam, you are now Xie Yuan, why don't you have a table word?" Isn't this very convenient, so can you have a plan? ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and he said: "Back to the teacher, the family is far away, and there are no words yet, if the teacher does not give up, please ask the teacher to give words." ”

Yu Shenxing thought for a moment and said, "In this case, your name is pragmatic, why don't you seek truth in your words." ”
