When Lun Wenxu and Sun Xu heard this, their faces suddenly relaxed, whether they recited it clearly or not, at least it was fine, of course, they didn't know that they would be a Jinshi the next day, if they knew in advance, they would experience great sorrow and joy and make them a little unbearable.

Shen Xi didn't know if he was left by Li Dongyang, because he memorized too accurately, or because Du Mu insisted on knowing him.

"You wrote this article?"

Li Dongyang looked up at Shen Xi, the article he was holding in his hand was Shen Xi's "Four Sons Attainments"

policy issues.

Shen Xi replied respectfully: "It is indeed made by the students." ”

Li Dongyang frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt on his face: "You are so young, you can make such a concise and spicy article, and the second transcription is not ...... word."

Shen Xi replied: "Isn't Scholar Li the same as a young man? ”

Li Dongyang was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled dumbly, he himself is a prodigy, but he was not promoted until he was fifteen years old, and two years later, he was ranked first in the second class of the palace examination, and began the road of official career.

It's just that Shen Xi in front of him seems to be even younger than him.

Du Mu next to him was a little clueless, and suddenly reprimanded loudly: "Arrogant child, dare to say that it is an article written by yourself, it is clear that you got the exam questions from Tang Yin, and then find someone to refer to it, write an article for you, and enter the exam after you are familiar with it." The villain can prove that this son is definitely not a person who should take the imperial examination with his true talent, please be aware of it. ”

Li Dongyang still had a slight approval of Shen Xi on his face, but after hearing Du Mu's words, his face turned sharply, and his eyes looked directly at Shen Xi, which was almost like staring Shen Xi to death.

Shen Xi scolded in his heart, this Du Mu is really harmful and addictive, he is simply a mad dog, he bites people when he sees them, I know who you are, you are going to come out to testify?

Shen Xi doesn't even pay attention to this kind of shameless villain, Tang Yin is arrogant, but he is still good to the friends around him, this is all for his own fame and fortune, willing to be a villain, not even the slightest righteousness, even if he becomes an official in the future, he will be disliked, Shen Xi is not even interested in arguing with him.

Seeing that Shen Xi was still respectfully bowing his head, Li Dongyang asked, "Why don't you defend yourself?" ”

He was speechless...... Because the villain poked at his vital point, a thirteen-year-old boy was in the limelight in the capital, and he dared to compare himself to Lord Shangshu, which shows that the child is arrogant. With his talents, he would never have been able to do such an article. ”

Du Mu was afraid that Shen Xi would confront him, so he first said that he was dead, and gave Shen Xi a charge of Li Dongyang.

Du Mu thought clearly, as long as Shen Xi couldn't prove his innocence, he would go back to the prison of Zhenfu Division, and beat you to the point that your skin was broken, and it would be difficult to admit it.

In addition, as long as I show my tone and say that you are a scholar of Li University, how can Jinyiwei let you go?

It's not necessarily a small life, and it's a whimper!

But if Li Dongyang can be about one or two sentences by Du Mu, he will not be the second auxiliary minister and become the right and left hand of Emperor Hongzhi.

Shen Xi's tone was flat: "The Qing is self-purifying, and the reason why the students do not defend themselves is that the students and Tang Yin only met because of fighting paintings, and even resented Tang Yin because of his face...... Just imagine, even if Tang Yin gets the question, how can he tell the students? ”

I can't excuse it, but I still have to say what I should say, and I must hit the nail on the head and grasp the pulse of the problem, otherwise it will be in vain to explain.

After Shen Xi said this, Du Mu's face changed slightly.

Du Mu has worked hard for more than 30 years, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to be a tutor in the family of the former champion Wu Kuan, and was appreciated by the governor, it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to show talents, not to mention that he entered Beijing at the age of 41 after the middle of the following year to take the exam.

Du Mu was jealous of the fame of Shen Xi and Tang Bohu, and felt that Shen Xi could not be the best in the world at the age of thirteen, and could answer most of the questions that he could not do in the test, so he came to the conclusion that Tang Yin got the question and leaked the question to Shen Xi.

But he ignored a problem, that is, there is no friendship between Shen Xi and Tang Yin, and the two even have a grudge, Tang Bohu lost his prestige because of his fight with Shen Xi, and this matter spread in the capital, if Tang Bohu really got the exam questions, how could he discuss it with a person who had a grudge against him?

Could it be that it wasn't exposed fast enough?

Du Mu's face trembled, his whole body trembled like chaff, and when he was trying his best to think about how to refute Shen Xi, Li Dongyang spoke first: "Shen Xi, you said that you didn't get Tang Yin's question, so let me ask you, in this article, 'There are people who are engaged in "Primary School" and "University", and they are privately Shuzhu Zi, or they are suspected of being old', where do you distinguish it, but you are talking about Xu Zhongping?" ”

Li Dongyang had already begun to ask specific questions, and although he had doubts in his heart, he needed conclusive evidence.

Now it is rumored that it is only Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing and Tang Yin who have a very close relationship, and there is a possibility of leaking the topic, but Shen Xilun Wenxu and Sun Xu did not visit Cheng Minzheng

Physical evidence is still needed.

Li Dongyang is confident that if Shen Xi is not worthy of his name, he only needs to ask a few questions to make Shen Xi's true form revealed.

Shen Xi said: "The students have read the "Retreat from Fasting". ”

Li Dongyang was slightly surprised: "Is there any mention in "Retreat from Fasting"? ”

Shen Xi said: "In the "Retreat from the Fast", it is said, 'The world has the art of coercing Lao Tzu in the past, and the interests of one body are used to save the welfare of the world, and in the end it will lead to misery of the country and harm the people. However, it stands on the surface of all things, and is not responsible for it. The students also occasionally read the preface written by Yu Ji for An Jingzhong's "Mo'an Collection", saying that the person who brought the old man's words to learn was Xu Zhongping. ”

Since Shen Xi learned about the topic of this year's examination in advance, his research had already begun.

In the past few days after the end of the examination, he has been staying in the inn and has never gone out, and what books are around him, Li Dongyang sent someone to investigate to find out whether Shen Xi was reading it temporarily, or whether he had read it a long time ago, and it was clear at a glance.

To say that this topic is difficult, not only because this point of view comes from Liu Yin's "Retreat from Fasting".

It turned out that Xu Heng was the Guozi priest of the Yuan Dynasty, but due to lack of funds, he simply resigned from the Guozi Priest Wine, Liu Yin felt that people who were scholars should not be so willful and reckless, so he satirized Xu Heng in "Retreat", but the object of the scolding without naming Xu Heng was Xu Heng.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty Great Confucian Yu Ji wrote the preface to An Jingzhong's "Mo'an Collection" that it was determined that the person Liu Yin was referring to was Xu Heng.

If Shen Xi said that he was blinded, this person might be Xu Heng, so it would be easy to understand Xu Heng's point of view, but Shen Xi said it in too much detail, so it was a bit of a suspicion of adding to the snake.

Li Dongyang asked, "Then have you read the "Mo'an Collection"? ”

"Yes."

Shen Xi said, "When the student was eleven years old, he had the privilege of reading it, and the student had the ability to never forget it, read the book once or twice, and then memorize the whole book silently, and then slowly think about its meaning, never thought that it would come in handy." ”

About the prodigy "unforgettable"

The legend has existed since ancient times, but it is basically false, and even Li Dongyang himself is known as a prodigy, but he knows very well that the so-called never forget, just remember it and study more, and his brain is brighter than others, and he can't do it twice and memorize it in his heart.

Du Mu, who had been listening attentively, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and thought: "You kid bragged and bragged, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to defeat you, and now you are sending it to the tip of the spear yourself, who is to blame?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "You can listen to it." ”

Shen Xi nodded and began to recite the "Mo'an Collection" that he had memorized a long time ago.

However, it is said that there are five volumes of this "Mo'an Collection", and it is not easy to memorize them all at once, and even Li Dongyang himself has never thought of memorizing them.

Because this time the Ministry of Rites will try to solve the problem, he temporarily clings to the Buddha's feet, and this book is very difficult to find, even if he wants to find a place to borrow it after the examination.

But listening to Shen Xi's fluent recitation, Li Dongyang's eyes widened in amazement.

If Shen Xi was just thinking about the rhetoric in advance for the sake of the problem, it would be impossible for him to memorize such an obscure work as "Mo'an Collection" in advance, how much time would it take?

Shen Xi just recited a few paragraphs, Li Dongyang waved his hand to ask Shen Xi to stop, and then he spot-checked the content of the last few articles of "Mo'an Collection", and asked them in detail, Shen Xi could answer them fluently, which made Li Dongyang breathtaking, and once again deepened his impression of Shen Xi.

Li Dongyang said in his heart: "But I don't know that except for Yang Ming Xiao'er, there are still such geniuses in the world?" This time it's a long time to see! ”

It turned out that Li Dongyang admired Wang Shouren who fell off the list three years ago and was laughed at by him that he would definitely win the top prize in this year's examination.

Wang Shouren is listed in the tenth in the first list of admissions in this year's examination, which is specially promoted by Li Dongyang, and is included in the top ten of the examination, which means that he may be listed in the first class in the palace examination.

It's a pity that Wang Shouren himself didn't answer the "four sons" correctly

This question, so what Li Dongyang can help him with is only to list it in the tenth place, as for whether he can win the top prize, it will be the result.

But in the end, it was Wang Shouren who played quite average in the palace examination, only ranking seventh in the second grade, which happened to be the tenth place in the palace examination.

"Okay."

This is Li Dongyang's most direct evaluation to Shen Xi in the end, "You said that you have the ability to never forget, are you willing to accept the school examination?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, if he was given a copy of some classics, it would be very difficult for him to memorize all of them in an hour or two, but since he had already said everything before, and he had to prove his innocence, he had to bite the bullet.

Aren't you surprised that I was able to memorize all the essays I tried without bias?

If I don't remember it, then you have nothing to doubt, right?

"Students are willing to take the test."

Shen Xi saluted respectfully again.

Du Mu was already very nervous at this time, if Shen Xi really had the ability to never forget, that was the genius of Tianzhong, then wouldn't his offensive remarks be self-defeating?

It can't be said that it will make Li Dongyang suspect that the testimony he said before was also a lie made up because of his jealousy and resentment, and he knew before that he had successfully replaced Tang Bohu and Xu Jing and took the Jinshi ......, "Lord Shangshu, don't." ”

Du Mu couldn't take care of Tang Tu's dignified first-class scholar, and hurriedly said, "This son has a lot of books at home, if he is easy to read with his books, he will already be familiar with his chest, and he will say that he will never forget it, but in fact, he has already memorized it, and there is no way to argue." ”

Li Dongyang glanced at Du Mu, because he had already doubted Du Mu because of the previous evidence against Shen Xi.

Li Dongyang said: "Shen Xi, there are a few articles here, you can take them to read, and then the official will personally test you." ”

Saying that, Li Dongyang handed over the articles written by Lun Wenxu and Sun Xu to Shen Xi.

Even Lun Wenxu and Sun Xu themselves couldn't write down the articles in the examination room word for word, if Shen Xi could really recite them in full, it would be enough to prove that Shen Xi did not speak.

When Shen Xi respectfully accepted the scroll, Du Mu's face was like earth, and his whole body trembled even more, as if he sensed that disaster was coming.
