Li Dongyang served as the chief examiner, which was expected.

But Yan Chengjin, who is it?

Yan Song had never heard of this person, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had always only supervised and would not mix up questions.

This means that the past few days of reciting the annotations of Yang Tinghe, Wang Hua, Xie Qian, and others in the library have all been in vain.

No wonder there are so many scholars crying, a few percent less sure, can they not cry?

"Dare to ask who this Lord Yan is, do you have a note?"

"Brother Tai doesn't know, it's because I haven't written a book that I'm so anxious."

What's more, I can't find the book of Yan Chengjin, the imperial historian of the capital.

There is no way to guess the preferences and styles of the questions, like a frightened fly, and I don't know where to start.

The betting agency in the market is confused, I have never heard of this person, how can I bet on the topic?

Forget it, I haven't won the bet anyway, so let's bet randomly!

In just one day, "Yan's Lecture Notes", "Yanmen's Four Books", and "Mr. Yan's Five Classics" all came out, and the scholars rushed to sell out, waiting in line for printing.

The best-selling book is a book called "Written by Yan Chengjin".

"Whoever publishes a book for this official will ruin his reputation, it is really hateful!" Yan Chengjin said angrily.

Wang Busui glanced at it without a trace, embarrassed: "This book "Written by Yan Chengjin himself" was issued by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Houzhao picked up the handouts of the princes and pasted Yan Chengjin's name on them.

I should have guessed that it was Zhu Houzhao.

The reason why I don't want to be the examiner is here, to tell the world that on the day of the exam, I have to be at the gate of the Gongyuan to accept the candidates' salutes.

In this way, the whole capital knows him Yan Chengjin, what should I do?

At this time, the capital.

There were still more than three months to go, and the scholars seized the time, and Li Dongyang's poems and annotations were memorized a lot.

Only Yan Chengjin's book, I haven't read it, so I should seize the time to study this person's articles and ideas.

Chengxian Street, Yang Mansion.

Yang Tinghe sat sullenly in the main hall, the tea had been cold for a long time, and he drank it unconsciously.

"Yan Chengjin is the examiner of today's science, how is this good?"

He had studied the writings and commentaries of other ministers, and knew what scriptures the princes were good at.

Able to write a handout for his son on a topic and an outline of the direction.

But Yan Chengjin studied the law all day long, and the most he wrote was the bullet chapter, how can people guess?

"Dad don't worry, my son is sure that he can be admitted."

"Humph! What's the use of being able to get in, Dad wants you to even get three yuan, you see Yan Chengjin even three yuan, and now they are all second-class masters! ”

The green tendons on Yang Tinghe's head emerged.

His Majesty reuses talents, and it is a good time to be promoted to such an emperor who is willing to appoint officials.

It's a pity that he is trapped in the Zhan Mansion, if he is an official in the Sixth Ministry, I am afraid that the official rank will not be too low.

Now, I can only pin my hopes on Yang Shen.

The housekeeper happily ran in: "Master, there are handouts of Yan Chengjin in the shop." ”

Yang Tinghe opened a few books, threw them aside and reprimanded: "This is written by the old man, it must be the prince who has changed his name!" ”

hesitated to visit Yan Chengjin in his heart, but he really visited Yan Chengjin and spread it to His Majesty's ears......

"Go and read the book, and if you don't understand something, come and ask your father again."

Yang Shen nodded, returned to the study and turned a few pages, absent-mindedly, and drove to the library in Liangxiang.

The news that Yan Chengjin served as the chief examiner came out, and there were fewer people borrowing books.

The library was noisy, and the scholars hid their faces and wept, crying while reading books, and those who were a little weak-willed had given up the struggle and were ready to come back next year.

"This person has never even published a book, how can he be an examiner?"

"Brother Tai doesn't know Yan Chengjin? He was the person of the three yuan and the first in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. ”

"Hongzhi has been twelve years so far, it has only been five years, and he has been promoted to the second grade, you don't want to talk nonsense, you are a fool when you are below?!"

What the scholars are most concerned about is who Yan Chengjin is.

Hearing that he had been promoted to the second grade in five years, he was so frightened that his hairs stood up, there were such terrifying people in the court, why hadn't they heard of it?

Wang Shouren shook his head, how could the old brother be low-key, how could it be spread to the public.

"The book in your hands has been discarded, it is not from the old brother."

When the scholars saw that it was Wang Shouren coming, they turned their heads one after another, not knowing why: "The old brother that Lord Wang said is Lord Yan?" ”

"Wait! Lord Wang, you just said that the book I am waiting to read is not from Lord Yan?! ”

As if aware of something terrifying, the lobby suddenly fell silent.

Wang Shouren shook his head: "Brother Gao has never published a book, and the most written is a bullet chapter, and what you read is just a book from a profiteer." ”

A sentence echoed in the lobby, deafening.

The scholars thought they had seized hope, but Wang Shouren's words made them fall into despair, how could they pass the exam?

Yang Shen sighed a few times and found a book to read in the corner.

There was a scholar next to him, reading very seriously, right

East Palace,

The little eunuch ran to report to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, the book can't be sold, and the defendant sent it." ”

Zhu Houzhao is counting the silver, fifty-seven thousand taels! Take advantage of the autumn to borrow Lao Gao's reputation and make a lot of money.

When Yansui's military report came back, he raised soldiers and horses and beheaded the Tartars.

Hearing the little eunuch's report, he said angrily: "Who dares to cut off the financial route of the palace!" ”

"Yes...... It's Wang Shouren. ”

"Damn nerd! I'm idle in the palace all day long, and the palace has long looked at him unpleasantly, so you call the nerd. ”

Zhu Houzhao decided to teach Wang Shouren a lesson.

Listening to Lao Gao, the Wang family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is more silver in the house than the stars in the sky, and there are countless counts.

Wang Shouren bowed slightly: "Minister Wang Shouren, I have seen His Highness!" ”

"Why do you want to cut off the wealth of this palace! Anyway, no one can pass the exam, so why not let this palace earn some silver! ”

"Minister...... The minister was ashamed, and he didn't know that the profiteer was His Highness. ”

Wang Shouren has always spoken straightforwardly and sincerely, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't care.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them seemed to be fine, and the little eunuch next to them almost knelt down for Wang Shouren.

If you know, Wang Shouren also beat Zhu Houzhao, but I'm afraid that he will not be calm.

Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows danced, patted Wang Shouren's shoulder, and was happy: "It's good that you know now, when you talk about psychology, help Bengong talk about this book." ”

"This ......"

Mandarin Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi stood in front of the bookshelf, and now in the court, there are only two major events.

One is the talent ceremony, and the other is the military defense of Yansui in the northwest.

"Qiu Qiu's mansion newspaper announced to the world, what is the reaction of the scholars in the market?"

Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not good, it is rumored that the Liangxiang Library Pavilion is all wailing."

Yan Chengjin wrote very few handouts, and scholars didn't even know where to start.

There are also scholars, scolding the court for being unfair......"

Emperor Hongzhi had never been a candidate, and he was busy with court affairs, so he didn't know that the candidate's confidence came from the question, and wondered: "Why is this happening?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Yan Chengjin is extremely well prepared, and the scholars don't know that there is such an official named Yan Chengjin in the court."

If you don't know the officials, you can't guess the question.

Xiao Jing raised his head and continued: "Moreover, with Yan Chengjin's temperament, it must not be an ordinary topic, and even Yang Zhanshi is worried when the slave and maid hear about it." ”

"Will it be difficult for Yan Qing's family to come up with a question?" Emperor Hongzhi seemed to ask, and he seemed to ask and answer.

"The slave guesses that it shouldn't be simpler than Master Cheng back then."
