Chapter 137: The Examination Begins
Spreading out the test paper in front of him, Chai Yang took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his restless mood, since he came to take the test, don't leave with regrets. Chai Yang already knew the plans of the Xue family at this time, but he didn't care so much about it, as for what would happen in the future, it would depend on the destiny of heaven.
At the beginning of the exam, the invigilator passed by Chai Yang's location several times, and he glanced at Chai Yang intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw Chai Yang answering the sheet with peace of mind, his brows couldn't help frowning. He was the one arranged by the Xue family, and the purpose was to keep an eye on Chai Yang, but Chai Yang didn't seem to know that he was carrying something terrible on him until now, and he was a little unsure for a while. After thinking about it, I had to wait for Chai Yang to do it himself.
For someone to monitor, Chai Yang is naturally very clear. But I didn't take it to heart. What they have is time and they consume.
Time passed quickly, the day passed in the blink of an eye, there were no accidents on the first day of the exam, and it ended peacefully, but the candidates could not leave the venue, they could only curl up in the exam seat to rest, waiting for the next day's exam.
After nightfall, Lin Yuan and Yao Lian discussed countermeasures, and at this time, Yu Shi knocked on the door and walked in.
"Grandpa, I have news from a few people you instructed to keep an eye on today."
"Tell me about it."
Lin Yuan stopped talking, turned his head to look at Yu Shi, and asked him to explain today's matter in detail.
"Back to Grandpa, there are a total of six people who are eyeing today, and five of them have used the booklet of the Ministry of Rites, except for one person, who is answering the questionnaire by himself throughout the whole process, but..."
"But what?" Lin Yuan frowned and looked at Yu Shi and asked.
"The person who didn't use the answer was called Chai Yang, and when his subordinates observed, they found that he seemed to be a little shocked by the answer in his basket, and he didn't seem to know."
Yu Shi depicted the scene he saw when he started the exam this morning, and at that time he guessed that Chai Yang didn't seem to know the answer that came out of the Ministry of Etiquette in his hand.
"Chai Yang?" Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yu Shi and asked, "Is it the person Pan Lao said?" ”
"Who?" Yao Lian looked at Lin Yuan with some doubts, not knowing who the other party was talking about with Yu Shi, it sounded very important.
"Chai Yang, a person from Nanyang, was known as the first genius in Nanyang when he was young, and he was the eldest son of the Nanyang Chai family, but unfortunately, this Chai family offended the Xue family, and the Xue family was ruined, Chai Yang and his only sister hid in a bamboo forest outside Nanyang City, this is the first time he participated in the scientific expedition."
Lin Yuan gave Yao Lian a general introduction to Chai Yang's situation, this is also the information he got yesterday, he just brought it up, and the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division took the information, obviously it was investigated before.
Yao Lian frowned and said, "It sounds like this Xue family is Chai Yang's enemy, but how can there be an answer from the Xue family?" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth and said, "It depends on his performance tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow?" Yao Lian looked at Lin Yuan with some doubts, and for a while he didn't understand what Lin Yuan's words meant, what it meant to look at tomorrow's performance.
Lin Yuan didn't explain, because at this time his thoughts were just speculation, people's hearts would change, Chai Yang seemed to have a deep blood feud with the Xue family, but it was hard to guarantee that Chai Yang would temporarily forbear, with the help of the Xue family's power to ascend to power, or he refused to cooperate with the Xue family's actions, and had his own plans.
But no matter which way he does it, Lin Yuan has enough interest in Chai Yang, this person is a ruthless person, gambling on his future, he wants to see how Chai Yang breaks the game.
The next morning, the exam started early, and because most people didn't sleep well at night, their mental state was not very good at this time. Chai Yang is no exception, but his condition is still better than others.
Looking at the test questions on the paper, Chai Yang showed a confident smile, after many years of hard work, isn't what he wants to see most is this state of being like a god.
However, Chai Yang was happy for a moment, and instantly remembered the booklet in his basket, and his face instantly turned cold. Although he was able to control the temptation and not look at it, Chai Yang knew that there was more than one person in this huge examination room who had the answer in his hand like himself, and this subject was already a sludge.
Putting aside the distractions in his heart, Chai Yang began to answer the question. At this time, the invigilators not far away were gathering together, because Yao Lian came to check today, and the invigilators were quite conscientious.
Yao Lian glanced at Chai Yang not far away with some curiosity, Lin Yuan came to find him early this morning, let him keep an eye on some Chai Yang in the examination room, and don't let people make trouble, which made Yao Lian even more interested in Chai Yang.
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Lian walked towards Chai Yang's position, and among the invigilators, one of them changed his expression, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he hesitated and followed.
Yao Lian walked in front of Chai Yang, and saw that Chai Yang didn't seem to notice that there were many people standing around him, and he was still quietly answering the questionnaire alone, as if the outside world couldn't affect him at all.
Yao Lian nodded very satisfied with Chai Yang's concentration. Then he glanced at Chai Yang's test paper, his eyes lit up suddenly, this word is well written, and the content is also very beautiful, and he really deserves to be the first talent in Nanyang.
Just suddenly as if he remembered something, Yao Lian sighed softly, turned his head and left Chai Yang's position. The invigilators were very strange, Yao Lian's reaction, who Chai Yang was, most of them knew, although this Chai Yang offended the Xue family, but the name of the first talent in Nanyang was recognized by the Xue family.
And this Chai Yang roll is not a bad answer, why do you sigh? Everyone didn't understand what Yao Lian meant, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly followed.
Although Yao Lian's sigh was light, it did not hide from Chai Yang's ears, and seeing everyone walking away, Chai Yang stopped writing and looked at Yao Lian's back thoughtfully.
I have long heard that Yao Lian is the person who dared to speak out about the disaster of the family in the court many years ago and violently criticized the Xue family, and he can be called the only person who dared to speak like this in the past hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The sigh just now was obviously not that the article written by Chai Yang was bad, but more of a pity. Chai Yang thought for a moment, and seemed to grasp something in his heart. His eyes suddenly lit up.
Yao Lian's sigh is indeed a little interesting, if Chai Yang is smart enough, he will definitely be able to guess what he means, but he can only prompt here, and if he says more, it will ruin Lin Yuan's big thing, although it is a pity, but there are talents at any time, and if the affairs of Yuzhou are not handled well, the whole Da Zhou will be quite troublesome. Yao Lian can still figure out how to choose this matter.
The next day was still calm, and after nightfall, Lin Yuan listened quietly to Yu Shi's report in the study, thinking about the last day of tomorrow.
"So Chai Yang still hasn't moved today?"
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Yu Shi, the origin of the booklet in Chai Yang's hand had been clarified, and the Zhenfu Division sent a message early this morning, saying that the Xue family handed over the answers to the people involved in the exam on the first day of the exam, which means that Chai Yang had not read the booklet from beginning to end, which also proved that Chai Yang had not memorized the answers a long time ago.
"Grandpa, no, Chai Yang is still an independent answer today."
Today is the second day of the exam, and it is also the last subject where you can copy the answers. The thing to be tested on the last day tomorrow is political theory, there is no fixed answer, it all depends on the individual.
If Chai Yang doesn't read it today, the answer will never be copied again. However, hearing that Chai Yang still didn't look at the Xue family's answer today, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, it seemed that this Chai Yang had his own ideas, but he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Lin Yuan became interested, and planned to come to the scene tomorrow to see what Chai Yang was planning, glanced at Yu Shi, and ordered: "Gather all our people tomorrow, and we must deal with it mentally in the next few days, and also, if there is news from outside the city, report it to me as soon as possible, do you know?" ”
"Understood, Grandpa." It should be in the world.
The third day, today is the last day of this year's Spring Examination, and it is also the last political subject.
Political commentary, as the name suggests, is to make their own judgment and analysis of the current court and various court politics, and the rhetoric is fierce in time, as long as it is said in the idea, it will not be convicted for speech, but most people are on the safe side, and the topics selected are not so sensitive.
Looking at the test paper in front of him, Chai Yang wrinkled his brows and seemed to have made great determination, so he picked up the pen and wrote his first sentence: There is no cold family in the upper grade, and there is no family in the lower grade.
Strictly speaking, Chai Yang can be regarded as the queen of a famous family, but he fell in the middle of the family road, and was framed by the Xue family, so he fell from the top of the clouds to the cold door. This gap did not crush Chai Yang, but made Chai Yang more deeply aware of the harm of the family. Things that he had never seen in the past and had come into contact with came one after another, and Chai Yang saw clearly the bloodsucking essence of the family's development to the end.
Now that he has realized the danger, he naturally has to find a way to change all this, but Chai Yang has been vigilant in every way, and he still has not escaped the calculations of the Xue family, since he has no future to do, then write out what he wants to do, and let the princes of the court see that in addition to one Yao Lian, there is also him Chai Yang who is firing at the family.
In the middle of the courtyard, Lin Yuan sat on a chair, looked at the sky, and then his eyes fell on Chai Yang's body, seeing Chai Yang writing hard, different from the people around him who were thinking and meditating, he couldn't help but be interested, and then looked at Chai Yang's face flushed, obviously the more he wrote, the more excited he became, after thinking about it, An Nai was curious in his heart, and did not go over to check. And many people in the audience also focused on Chai Yang.
Outside the examination room, because of avoiding suspicion, He Wenchang did not enter the examination room to check. At this time, he was sitting in the teahouse with Xue Huaiyi chatting.
"The results are coming out today, Lord He, don't worry about your students?"
Xue Huaiyi took a sip of tea, looked at He Wenchang with a cold face and said with a smile.
"Life and death are fateful, whether Chai Yang can hide or not has nothing to do with me, but Xue Sanye, you must remember that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself."
He Wenchang looked at Xue Huaiyi coldly and said to the other party.
Xue Huaiyi was not annoyed, after all, he was He Wenchang's proud disciple, and strictly speaking, he was also a talented man of the Great Zhou, but what does this have to do with him Xue Huaiyi? All he wants is his life, as long as Chai Yang is dead, everything is easy to discuss.
