For a time, in Xinfeng City, there was a lot of joy and a lot of sorrow.

Those who were admitted celebrated with crowns and cheered, and their parents were even more exaggerated, and immediately called friends and prepared to set up a banquet to celebrate.

And the losers hesitate and sigh and feel sorry for themselves.

But with the precedent of Liu Jin and Zhang Yue 'not abandoning' scholars, no one complained.

It's just that the feelings of self-pity and decadence have become more intense.

The atmosphere of depression and depression pervades all the losers.

In the hearts of many people, this failure was almost a terrible disaster like the sky fell.

Especially when they learned that the number of admissions was as high as more than 230 people, the depression in their hearts was even stronger.

More than 230 people admitted?

In other words, compared to five or six hundred interviewers, it is almost a process of choosing one or the other!

It hurts them a lot, it hurts.

For the literati, what should they do if their hearts are hurt?

The answer, of course, is to drown your sorrows with wine!

However, when these people rushed to the wine shop, they were shocked to find that there were already people in the wine shop.

More than a dozen literati who did not even participate in the interview and had been eating and living here fell drunk on the floor of the wine shop.

Compared with the losers, the grievances of these people are almost breaking through the sky.

"The public examination is unfair, how talented we are, that Zhang Zi attaches importance to it but does not see it, this is his loss!" Someone shouted, taking a flask and pouring it into his mouth.

A man dressed as a servant next to him supported him with an embarrassed look and comforted: "Why should the young master be angry, when you go home, ask the master to dredge up the relationship, and you can get a messenger ......"

"You know what?" The other party snorted a few times, took the flask and continued to drink.

In the attic of the wine shop, there are vague people whispering vaguely: "Sad world long song, sigh that the sorrow is not met, and the sorrow of the ignorant lord is slender and too breath......ing."

Quack.

The man rolled down the attic with a copper flask, his head touching the floor.

Two or three attendants immediately hurried down and shouted, "Young master, young master, let's go home......"

A few unsuccessful literati who had just walked into this wine shop couldn't help but look at each other a little when they saw such a scene.

That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

Of course, not all drunks are in the liquor store.

In the cubicle of the liquor store, there was a faint sound of discussion.

"Gentlemen, this Xinfeng public examination, Zhang Zi in the service of the public weapon for private use, suppressing dissidents, his heart can be punished!" Someone said loudly: "You know, this time it is public, and more than eighty percent of those who get it are all ram scholars!" ”

"Even if there are two percent left, it is mostly Legalists and even Huang Laoxue!"

"My generation of Gu Liang gentlemen, only thirteen people can take it!"

"Simeng Zhujun, no one has ever been hit!"

"If there is no favoritism and irregularity, who will believe it?"

The man's words immediately sparked anger.

The crowd in the compartment was furious and boiling.

"It's hateful!" Someone said: "I used to think that this Zhang Zizhong was a hero and a hero in the world, but I didn't want to be a hypocrite who stuck to the door and judged the talents of scholars with his own selfishness!" ”

Others chimed in.

The people who had just entered the liquor store were also outraged by the denunciation and decryption.

Anger suddenly rose in everyone's hearts.

All right! You're heavy!

Actually public and private use!

It turns out that I am still strange that I can't get such a high talent.

It turns out that you are suppressing dissidents!

As for whether this is the case?

It must be so!

As long as you know a little bit about the history of the dynasty, you will know that this is the case.

For example, when the New Deal was established, it was the giants of the Lu Confucian faction who presided over the New Deal, Zhao Juan and Wang Zang.

After they were appointed to preside over the new policy, the first thing they did was to write to the Son of Heaven: the virtuous and virtuous, or the words of Shen, Shang, Han, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi, and disrupt the national government, please stop it.

In one go, the entire Legalist and Zongheng family were expelled from being qualified as virtuous.

But do you think that's the beginning?

Wrong.

Immediately afterwards, the powerful Luru monarchs wantonly installed the scribes of the Luru family in the court.

At its peak, almost half of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historian's Yamen were controlled by Lu Confucian gentlemen.

For a time, it can really be said that everyone is in the right dynasty, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring.

But at that time, the worst suppressed people were not the Legalists and Zonghengjia, or even the political enemies of the Huang Lao School.

The most miserable thing that was suppressed by the Lu Ru family was the Ram School, which was also Confucian.

The ram magnates Dong Zhongshu and Hu Wusheng were even excluded from studying at home, and they didn't even dare to go out.

However, Lu Ru's series of dances were too joyful and arrogant.

So, it finally caused public outrage.

As soon as the Empress Dowager issued an edict, the soldiers of the Southern Army left the camp and took over the entire country.

All the Confucian students in the court were all imprisoned.

As a result, the once prosperous Luru family was crippled.

This is where the Ram School rises.

After the Ram School came to power, it respected Confucianism and dismissed hundreds of schools.

However, they would rather ally with the Legalists and play with the Confucian Skin Bone than raise their hands against the Guliang School and the Simeng School.

Heretics are more damned than heretics.

Didn't you see that even the Confucian students of the Mao Shi faction, who had always been more friendly with the Ram School, were also suppressed by the Ram Scholars in the Hejian Kingdom?

This Zhang Chongzhang Shizhong has always been very close to the Taixue Ram School, and he even needs to wear a pair of pants.

With his own life, everyone thinks that in this public examination, this Zhang Shizhong must have used public weapons for private use!

So, everyone's defeat is not a crime of war!

If a neutral and fair person is replaced to preside, with the talents and learning in everyone's chest, there will still be those who are defeated?

Impossible!

Thinking of this, the young men involuntarily approached the cubicle and walked in.

As soon as they entered the room, everyone found that this small cubicle was actually full, with twenty or thirty people seated, and it was crowded.

There are several people who everyone still knows, and they are all the losers of this public examination.

As a result, a kind of hatred for the enemy gradually grew.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a young man in Tsing Yi, who trotted all the way to the cubicle, and whispered a few words in the ear of a young man who was originally flushed and deeply felt unfair.

The other party's face immediately changed.

The resentment and dissatisfaction in my heart immediately disappeared, and my face even showed a look of pride and relief.

"You slander and attack the country like this, I really can't stand it!" The man got up leisurely and sighed, "I'm ashamed to be with you!" ”

The sudden change was unexpected.

Everyone hasn't reacted yet, what the hell is going on? How did this man change his face so quickly.

Outside the door, a man's eager call came: "Young master, young master!" The master called you to go home quickly, and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and Zhang Shizhong have sent you a letter! ”

Hearing this voice, a young man who had just come in and had not even said a word changed his face drastically, and then hurriedly ran out and never came back.
