Chapter 29 Encountering Ma Zhou in the Examination Room

"Father, it was Lin Gongzi who was more satisfied with the exam, so he made this pot of mutton to celebrate. You can taste the lamb chops, it will taste even better. ”

Princess Changle replied with a smile showing two sweet dimples.

In this way, the father was looking forward to his strategy. I hope he can bring a bigger surprise to his father! ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed sincerely, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart.

After the morning of the second day, His Majesty Li Er left behind Kong Yingda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhan Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and others.

"Kong Aiqing, the third strategy exam question in this year's Spring Festival, do you have eyebrows?"

His Majesty Li Er asked with a pleasant face.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the policy exam questions have come out. It's just that it hasn't been distributed to all parts of the country yet. ”

Kong Yingda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and replied.

"Oh, Kong Aiqing took a test paper and looked at it with me."

"Your Majesty, the test paper has been sealed in the Ministry of Rites, please wait for a while."

Kong Yingda immediately arranged for Zhan Qing to return to the Ministry of Rites to get a test paper back, but he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of His Majesty Li Er.

Soon after, Zhan Qing, a sweaty waiter of the Ministry of Rites, respectfully handed over the test paper to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er took a closer look and said to Kong Yingda with a smile.

"If I want to add another argument to it, is it too late now?"

"Your Majesty, don't say it's a plus strategy, even if you add two more dishes, it's too late, and the minister will order someone to rush out overnight tonight."

"Okay, then it's hard for Kong Aiqing."

His Majesty Li Er handed over the policy test questions he had already written to Kong Yingda.

He left with a smile on his face.

Kong Yingda took the policy topic personally handed over to him by His Majesty Li Er, and immediately arranged for people with Zhan Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to add a new question to all the test papers.

On February 15 of the first year of Zhenguan, the first spring of His Majesty Li Er's accession to the throne, the last strategy examination will begin today.

Policy theories are nothing more than some high-minded talks, such as self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world.

It is best to quote the classics and lay out them, and count the pros and cons in detail.

That's a good piece of policy.

If you can quote the classics at the same time, be unconventional, and write fluently to make people shine, then it can be described as an excellent strategy.

Such a strategy will generally reach the hands of Zhan Qing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then he will decide to hand over the better ones to Kong Yingda, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, for review.

In the end, the excellent strategies reviewed by Kong Yingda will be noted in the book for His Majesty's reference, or as the basis for the examination next year.

Lin Ran got up very early today, first started his physical activity, and played a set of boxing techniques.

Then he carried the barrel to the well behind him to fetch water.

The water in the back well is particularly sweet, a little sweeter than any mountain spring in later generations, and it is much more delicious.

Perhaps this is the benefit of being green and pollution-free.

Wu Puguang got up and saw that Lin Ran, who was sweating profusely and carrying water, couldn't help but say in distress.

"Why treat yourself like this, there are hundreds of soldiers under your hands, you don't know how to cherish your body at all, and you have to take the exam in the morning!"

"Teacher, I can't be idle. Don't worry about the students. Today's strategy students ensure that they do well in the exam and do not blacken the teacher's face. ”

Lin Ran smiled and said with a grin.

Just after breakfast, Princess Changle trotted all the way over.

"Lin Gongzi, I finally arrived before you entered the examination room, and I took the exam well. I hope to see Lin Gongzi in next year's examination. ”

Princess Changle said a little out of breath.

"Thank you Miss Li for your concern, the kid will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, and he will make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, which is also the pursuit and goal of the kid in this life, and the boy will continue to work hard for this."

Lin Ran solemnly said to Princess Changle, and then turned around and walked towards the examination room.

The sworn expression and the appearance of no hesitation made Princess Changle feel in a trance.

Why does this young man have the same determination as the royal brother?

Today, all the candidates came earlier than usual, and after two exams, Lin Ran, the candidates in the examination room, were deeply impressed by this teenager.

"Young man, he is the first to hand in the paper every time, which really makes me Ma Zhou envious."

A tall and majestic, powerful man walked up to Lin Ran and spoke.

"Ma Zhou? Are you Ma Zhou? ”

Lin Ran's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked, with a shocked expression on his face.

If Ma Zhou in front of him is true, it is the name of Datang, but unfortunately, history records that he failed in this spring festival and failed to enter next year's examination.

"I'm Ma Zhou, why is the young man so surprised? I Ma Zhou came from Hebei Province, and I don't have a few acquaintances? ”

Ma Zhou touched his head suspiciously and said.

When Lin Ran heard this, he was sure in his heart. Now the world is divided into 12 realms.

Most of Shandong belongs to Henan Province, and Ma Zhou's hometown of Shandong Chiping belongs to Hebei Province, so Ma Zhou will have words from Hebei Province.

"Boy, I don't know Brother Ma, but I used to have a friend with the same name as Brother Ma, and the kid was inevitably excited, which made Brother Ma smile. I don't know if Brother Ma can deny the boy as a brother, but it is also a little regret in the heart of the boy. ”

Lin Ran pretended to be sad and said.

"So, the big brother Ma in the young man's mouth has passed away?"

Ma Zhou reacted and asked.

Lin Ran nodded vigorously.

"Haha~haha. It's best for me to make friends with brothers, anyway, I have no place to stay after the exam, if my brother doesn't dislike me, I can't ask for it. ”

Ma Zhou said with a smile, looking like a big man in Shandong.

"Okay, the exam is over, let Brother Ma taste my craft."

"I'm here, brother, do you still cook?"

Ma Zhou's appearance of being a ghost made Lin Ran cry and laugh.

Just when the two were chatting hotly, the examiner walked in with steady steps.

With a slight cough, the entire examination room was instantly silent.

made Lin Ran have to sigh that these candidates are much more obedient than those naughty and mischievous children in later generations.

"After today's exam, I just received instructions from the Ministry of Rites to release the list in ten days, that is, on February 25, the students on the list will wait for next year's exam, and the students who fail will continue to work hard to win the list next time."

The examiner said a few words in a rare way.

All the candidates gave a salute to express their gratitude.

In a peaceful atmosphere, the test papers of the third strategy were sent to the candidates one by one.

Lin Ran took the test paper as usual, and first skimmed through the questions.

Sure enough, they are basically the same as the old three!
