Chapter 116: The Head of the Case

In February, the trees outside the examination room begin to pull out tender green leaf buds, the breeze blows, the breath of spring is rich, and the warm sun shines on the earth, a scene full of vitality.

"Estimate the time, you should also come out." After waiting outside the gate of Baishui Academy for a while, Chu Jue, Gao Shilin, and a few students slowly walked out, and Chu Zhen greeted him with a spring breeze on his face.

chatted with Chu Jue and Gao Shilin for a few words, and found that the two of them were full of confidence in their words, and Chu Zhen also put his mind at ease, knowing that as long as they played normally, with the talents of the two of them, it should be very easy to pass the children's test.

"And don't relax, you have to take the government exam in a few days." Chu Zhen reminded with a smile, obviously full of confidence in today's county exam.

"Jing Chun rest assured, it's okay to try it out of the district." Gao Shilin pretended to be disdainful, waved his hand, and said in an arrogant tone: "In a few days, the two of you will change your name to Gao as the head of the case." ”

Xiucai is the first, it is the head of the case, Gao Shilin's words immediately attracted the attention of nearby students, and the emotions hidden in his eyes were very complicated, including hostility, contempt, admiration, and disapproval......

"Caiqing, then we'll wait and see." Chu Zhen smiled, pulling the two of them away slowly, if they don't leave, I'm afraid they will have a quarrel with some narrow-minded students, as a pragmatist, as long as you can be admitted to Xiucai, and it is not the last, Chu Zhicai doesn't care who is first, of course, if it is Gao Shilin, or Chu Jue is the first in the case, Chu Zhen is still quite happy in his heart.

"Wishful thinking." This is Chu Jue's evaluation.

"Wen Yu's words make me unconvinced." Gao Shilin chuckled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if one of us wins the case, the other two must have a banquet, what do you think?" ”

"It's a deal." Chu Zhen nodded and agreed, and glanced at Gao Shilin with some surprise, Gao Shilin's studies seem to have improved these days, could it be that this is the power of love, he secretly guessed in his heart, Chu Zhen didn't think much about it, and when he walked to a fork in the road, he smiled goodbye to Gao Shilin, and walked in the direction of his house with Chu Jue.

"The second son and the third son are back." As soon as he entered the door of the mansion, several maidservants immediately rushed up, and one or two turned around and ran towards the living room.

Surrounded by the maidservants, Chu Zhen and Chu Jue walked into the hall lightly, and several female relatives of the Chu Mansion had already received a report, and when they saw the two of them coming in, their eyes revealed the meaning of inquiry.

"Tired, sit down and drink a glass of water." Seeing the relaxed expressions on the faces of the two, Wang's heart was a little relieved, and after the two sat down, he asked softly, "How do you feel about today's exam?" ”

Under Chu Qian's signal, Chu Jue replied, showing full confidence, which made the Wang family very satisfied, knowing that in this case, it was not appropriate to ask more, so as not to distract him, and encouraged the two of them a few words, and let them go back to the room to rest.

In the evening, Chu Luo returned, and did not mention the matter of the two exams at all, until two days later, the government promulgated the list of those who passed the county examination, Chu Zhen and Chu Jue were on the list, of course, Gao Shilin was also among them, because before passing the government examination, he could not officially become a showman, so the list was not ranked, but just posted out at random, or directly informed the academy where the students were.

At this time, Chu Luo found a time, called Chu Zhen and Chu Jue to the study, and reminded the two of them not to be careless, and to go all out, after all, it happens from time to time before things are done and the middle way collapses, Chu Luo doesn't want this kind of thing to happen to his son.

Although as long as you pass the county exam, the government exam is just a formality, and you will generally be given the status of a showman, but if the results are too unbearable, it is not uncommon to be brushed off.

Chu Zhen and Chu Jue are naturally submissive, studying hard at home for two days, and waiting until the early morning of the day of the government examination, they rushed to the examination room before dawn, and at this time Bianliang City is much more lively than in the past, and there is an endless stream of literati students on the street.

Chu Zhen and Chu Jue came to the examination room, and the sky showed a trace of whiteness, and the students of Baique Academy greeted each other, quietly waited for the officials' re-inspection and identification, and received the voucher to enter the examination room.

After taking the exam paper, Chu Qian's mood was slightly nervous, he held his breath and thought about it for a moment, and then he answered seriously, and when he checked and handed in the papers and left, it was already sunset, the sun was setting, and only a wisp of residual glow was left in the sky.

"Jing Chun, this time we have to come out before you." Gao Shilin greeted him and said with a smile.

"Second brother,... What do you think? Chu Jue asked softly, looking a little nervous.

"I've kept you waiting." Chu Zhen chuckled, nodded lightly to Chu Jue and said, "There is no problem." ”

Gao Shilin also heard it, and he was in a very comfortable mood, and said happily: "Jingchun, Wenyu, don't blame me for not reminding, don't forget our gambling contract, you should prepare the money and silver for the treat, and think clearly about where to set up a banquet to entertain me." ”

In fact, Chu Zhen also understood that Gao Shilin's jokes were mostly in order to enliven the atmosphere and regulate the tense and depressed mood, but the world is unpredictable, anything can happen in the examination room, and no one dares to guarantee that Gao Shilin will not perform exceptionally and win the first place in Xiucai.

"Each other, each other, and you too." Chu Zhen smiled and groaned: "Before the result comes out, everything is unknown, the head of the case may be you, of course, it may also be Wenyu." ”

"Or Jing Chun, you." Gao Shilin said with a smile, it seems that the head of the case is the three of them, and they don't put other students in their eyes, but fortunately they are far away from the examination room at this time, and there is no one nearby to participate in the children's exam, otherwise they will cause something wrong.

Chu Zhen smiled and shook his head, if he said that he had never expected to be the head of the case, it would naturally be a lie, but Chu Zhen was also self-aware, and he knew very well that Kaifeng Mansion was the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and talented literati and students emerged in an endless stream, and he never thought that he could overwhelm the heroes and win the championship in one fell swoop.

The three of them held hands and touched their shoulders, talked and laughed all the way to the city, and then returned home.

The boy's trial is over, Chu Mansion seems to have returned to its former calm, no one up and down is talking about this matter, there are still a few days before the official mansion opens the list, Chu Zhen has no previous indifference, he feels a trace of pressure in his heart, and his mood is also very complicated, some hesitation, uneasiness, apprehension, savoring, this is just like when he took the college entrance examination and applied for a job.

In the study room of the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, the decoration is simple, there is also a bit of Yaxing, a few landscape maps are hung on the wall, look at its inscription, it is actually from the handwriting of the former Fu Yin.

The study room is the office of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, where successive Mansion Yin has reviewed official documents or handled other official duties, Qian Mingyi will naturally not be an exception, at this time, in front of his bookcase, there are already thick exam papers.

Of course, the examination papers have been reviewed, how to say that it is also the Kaifeng Mansion Examination, and there are naturally more students who take the exam than in other places, and it is impossible for the officials of Kaifeng Mansion to correct so many papers in a few days, and it is natural that some officials will be transferred from the imperial court to help, after all, the imperial court lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of idle officials.

After a few days of hard work, the examination papers were reviewed, but how to say that it was also a government exam, nominally presided over by Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and the ranking was naturally arranged by Qian Mingyi, this matter is very simple, as long as it is directly ranked according to the merits, but sometimes it makes people feel embarrassed.

"Zhang Tongju, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, how about it?" Looking at the thirty volumes marked as excellent at the frontispiece, Qian Mingyi hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth secretly, wanting to push the matter to Kaifeng Tong Judge Zhang Shi.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the military generals of the feudal town were autocratic, the world was ****, and the centralized power could not be consolidated, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in order to solve this big problem, the imperial court had the famous story of "releasing the military power with a cup of wine", after the military generals were relieved of the military power, they often went out of the state and county as courtiers, and at the same time in order to strengthen the supervision and control of local officials, to prevent the governor's power from being too heavy, and to be good at doing big, and set up a general judgment in the state and county, as a deputy position, and the right to know the army and state affairs to deal with political affairs.

At the same time, it is stipulated that all orders issued by the prefect must be signed by the general judgment to take effect, not only that, but the general judgment also has a power to report directly to the emperor on the situation of the state capital, although the name is deputy, in fact, it can be said that it is a central official who integrates administration and supervision, as long as it is the prefect of the prefecture, he must not like the existence of such a person around him, but unfortunately this is the emperor's order, who dares not to obey.

However, the smart official immediately thought of the benefits of having such a person around him, and there were many things that he couldn't solve by himself, and he would not end up with a light situation if he pushed it to the judge, obviously Qian Mingyi also thought so.

"This matter still needs to be approved by the adults themselves, how can the lower officials overstep their responsibilities." Zhang Shi was not stupid, and hurriedly modestly pushed up.

Why don't I usually see you so polite, Qian Mingyi secretly thought in his heart, and he also knew Zhang Shi's sleek temperament, even if he insisted, he would definitely continue to push back.

Alas, I encountered this kind of difficulty not long after taking office, and my luck was really bad, Qian Mingyi sighed leisurely, his eyes kept moving on the thirty papers, picking and choosing, but he couldn't decide.

"Judge Zhang Tong, who do you think can be the head of this children's trial?" Suddenly, Qian Mingyi asked in a loud voice, as if there was a hint of anticipation.

"The lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and they don't dare to make assertions, and they obey the orders of the adults." This kind of little trick of sudden attack, how could Zhang Shi be fooled, he didn't raise his eyelids, and still bowed respectfully.

These thirty volumes, speaking from the heart, there is not much difference at all, after all, it is a children's test, and the difficulty will not be too great, it is difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom, who is the head of the case, others have nothing to say, everything is decided by Qian Mingyi.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of human affection, Qian Mingyi only felt that his forehead was a little swollen, if it was something else, he would definitely judge impartially, but this kind of thing that could not distinguish between high and low, and it was a difficult thing to judge from the heart, especially in the volume, there were several names that were very familiar, and they seemed to have some affinity with him, who to give or not to whom, others would definitely have opinions, if they were not careful, wouldn't it be even more boring to make their own family affairs discordant.
