Although the two major factions of Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong are now fighting each other, both of them are sharpening their knives and preparing to make trouble for each other, and they have also prepared some corresponding plans and means, but in the morning of the next day, the shape was unexpectedly calm, and the two factions did not continue to fight.

For no other reason, the day before, the examiners and officials of the Ministry of Rites finally completed the examination papers, and the list and ranking of the apricot list will also be announced to the world after reporting to Emperor Deqing this morning.

Although this is not a very important thing for Zhao Junchen or Huang Yourong, it is a grand event in the court and a happy event in the literary world after all, so whether Zhao Junchen or Huang Yourong will continue to fight and attack in the early court on this day, otherwise it will sweep away the interest of Emperor Deqing, not to mention, if it spreads in the future, it will also ruin their reputation among scholars.

In the early dynasty, after Emperor Deqing listened to the ranking of the apricot list, he did not have any surprise or opposition to Zhou Shangjing's grandson Zhou Suwen becoming the current science and technology huiyuan, but only congratulated Zhou Shangjing and praised Zhou Shangjing's family education, and Zhou Shangjing naturally kept humbling.

In fact, when Emperor Deqing originally arranged for Zhou Shangjing's protégé to serve as the chief examiner of the Jinke examination, he had already anticipated this situation - this was just a transaction between Emperor Deqing and auxiliary Zhou Shangjing - Emperor Deqing acquiesced to Zhou Shangjing to obtain some benefits in the Jinke examination, and Zhou Shangjing was not allowed to oppose Emperor Deqing's support for the crown prince Zhu Heyu for the next period of time, and they tacitly agreed with each other.

Because it is the common will of Emperor Deqing and Fu Zhou Shangjing, the list and ranking of the apricot list are very smooth in the early dynasty.

Then, when the ministers had no other things to report, Emperor Deqing instructed the Ministry of Rites to step up preparations for the palace examination and the southern tour, and then announced the departure of the court.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The announcement of the apricot list is a big event that has attracted much attention.

After the end of the morning pilgrimage. Under the auspices of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the capital soon became lively.

The officials hurried to post the list all over the capital, and then read out the apricot list under the onlookers and cheers of hundreds of people.

Some of the favored officials asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites for good fortune, and personally went to the residences of the candidates who won the list, delivered good news to them, and took the opportunity to ask for some good money and wine.

And those who participated in the exam. After receiving the news, they are either happy or sad, or they are supported by everyone to accept congratulations, or they are secretly sad and even crazy in nobody.

For a time, in the capital. The sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and cheers, one after another; Crying, laughter, shouting, you can hear it everywhere.

Many restaurants and inns are having a feast at this time! And many people who have nothing to do are also running around to see the excitement! Because of the announcement of the apricot list, the entire capital fell into an atmosphere of excitement and even madness.

But all this excitement has nothing to do with Xiao Wenxuan!

Because. Since the end of the examination, Xiao Wenxuan has already understood that this examination will inevitably have nothing to do with him!

Therefore, although the apricot list will be announced to the world today, Xiao Wenxuan does not have any expectations in his heart.

…………

In this exam, Xiao Wenxuan didn't swing well until the exam started. He realized that all the candidates who had taken refuge in Zhao Junchen, except for him, had all learned about the examination questions in advance, and everyone had intentionally or unintentionally concealed the news from him!

This made Xiao Wenxuan angry, but also lost his calm mind during the examination, and even if he went to the examination room, he couldn't calm down his thoughts for a long time. Therefore, for his own examination answer sheet, even Xiao Wenxuan himself felt that it was unsightly, so Xiao Wenxuan's hope of being on the apricot list was naturally extremely slim.

This is Xiao Wenxuan's fourth time participating in the examination. It is also Xiao Wenxuan's last fight in the examination!

Just failed like this, Xiao Wenxuan's mood can be imagined!

After the end of the examination, Xiao Wenxuan first resented the candidates who took refuge in Zhao Junchen - he had obviously given up his reputation and friends, and took refuge in Zhao Junchen like you, although he was once excluded by you, but after all, he returned to this circle under Zhao Junchen's hint, why could everyone else get the exam questions, but he was alone in the news concealed? Now that you have prepared in advance, you will definitely be on the list, but what good will it do you to fall into Sun Mountain?! Is it just to see your own jokes?!

Then, Xiao Wenxuan began to inevitably resent Zhao Junchen - why did you Zhao Junchen reveal the exam questions? Could it be that the hard work of other candidates for ten years and the hard work of the imperial examination is so worthless in the eyes of you Zhao Junchen?! Don't you Zhao Junchen know how many candidates' lives will be ruined by doing this?! The most important thing is that you, Zhao Junchen, have obviously hinted at Liu Zimin and they re-accept themselves, why don't you send the Buddha to the west? watched Liu Zimin and them deceive the news to themselves, and in the end, not only did they not benefit from it, but they went berserk in the examination room?

Even, Xiao Wenxuan began to complain about the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that this system caused his own talents! Buried his true talent!

In this way, in the days just after the end of the exam, Xiao Wenxuan spent time in resentment.

However, after a few days of resentment, when Xiao Wenxuan gradually calmed down, he remembered what Zhao Junchen said to him when he met Zhao Junchen by chance that day!

“…… Sometimes, there is something that you and I understand and think is right, but if it is wrong in the eyes of the world, then you and I can only think that it is wrong, no matter what you and I think in our hearts. It's not about hypocrisy or integrity, otherwise it would only be seen as heretical. The four words "go with the flow" are not only a choice for people to live in the world, but also the fundamental way for us to live in peace, because you and I cannot go against the general trend, although the truth is in the hands of a few people, but it is never a few people who determine the general trend......"

“…… I see that you seem to have your own thoughts in your heart, different from the world, although you don't say it explicitly, but I'm afraid that there is also a pride in the heart of the world drunk only I am awake, but forgive me for speaking lightly, say a few more words here, in this world, how many smart people, and how many foolish people, is often the most difficult thing to guess, because the world is pretending, so you and I must disguise, many truths, many people understand, but everyone has not said it clearly. Whether the world is really drunk or fake, whether it is true that everyone in the world is drunk but you are awake, or you think you are awake alone, if you can't pretend to be drunk among the crowd, then it is destined to end badly......"

“…… If you can't go with the flow, be in the company of the mediocrity in your eyes, or look like you're sober, then learn from Tao Yuanming to hide in the world, why bother to enter the world, looking at the mediocrity in your eyes and being annoyed, but you can't change the mind of the mediocrity in your eyes at all? ……”

At that time, Xiao Wenxuan was certainly a little touched by Zhao Junchen's words, but after all, he had not experienced a real setback, so it was just a few touches. Although Xiao Wenxuan also felt that there was some truth in these words, these truths did not really change Xiao Wenxuan.

Then, in Tianhai Tower that day, under the hint of Zhao Junchen, Liu Zimin and others re-accepted Xiao Wenxuan, and at the beginning, Xiao Wenxuan also deliberately restrained some of his own temperament, but it didn't take long for him to be solid and cute, and he was still always arrogant, disdainful of others, and everyone was drunk and sober.

In this way, Xiao Wenxuan will naturally be disgusted and excluded.

And since those candidates will take refuge in the big corrupt official Zhao Junchen, they are naturally not good people, and it is naturally expected that they will hide the news from Xiao Wenxuan, secretly retaliate, and wait to see Xiao Wenxuan's jokes.

After thinking about such a relationship, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly realized that it was not Liu Zimin and other candidates who should complain, nor Zhao Junchen, let alone the current imperial examination system, but himself!

Because he is arrogant and unsociable, because he always feels smart and looks down on others, because although he is full of wealth, he can't see through people's doubts, so he will end up like this!

The cause of yesterday's sowing is the fruit of today.

A qiē just deserves it!

People will always grow a lot and change a lot after being frustrated and reflecting on the setbacks.

Xiao Wenxuan is the same, the moment he figured this out, he grew and changed.

is no longer arrogant, and he also admits his ordinariness, with less self and blindness, and more caution and city.

This change is many years late, but it is not too late.

…………

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan was sitting by the window on the second floor of the Fude Building, like an outsider, with a little gloom and a little calmness, quietly looking at the lively capital outside the window - at this time, in front of the opposite inn, in the sound of firecrackers, there was a lifter accepting everyone's congratulations.

"The test is over, and it's time for me to go home."

Then, Xiao Wenxuan said softly,

After drinking all the tea in the cup, Xiao Wenxuan stood up and walked towards his room, but he didn't turn his head to take a look at the lively world outside.

Those bustles have nothing to do with him anymore.

Next, Xiao Wenxuan plans to return to his hometown, put down the shelf of a scholar, or make money in business, or serve as a staff member of the government, in short, a few years ago, the whole family supported him to study, and now it is time for him to repay his family.

However, as soon as Xiao Wenxuan got up, he saw an examiner who also lived in the Fude Inn walking towards him.

The man was full of smiles, but he didn't open any pot, and asked Xiao Wenxuan loudly: "Brother Xiao, how are the results of the examination today?" Is there any news? If you think about Brother Xiao's talent, he must be on the list, right? ”

Although the person who came was full of smiles, Xiao Wenxuan clearly felt the deep malice contained in it!
