Chapter 37: Repeated

After Zhao Yan read the question, he secretly spat at Li Zhizhou, this is obviously a pit, and it is buried in those candidates who look at Li Zhizhou unpleasantly.

This Li Zhizhou is greedy for money and treachery, relying on his whiskers to get to his current position, this time, as the chief examiner of the 'Talent Dictionary', will he be so generous to let people write articles to criticize themselves?

Politicians are not politicians, they will always be the most evil and weird people in the world, there is no one, and Li Zhizhou is definitely not a politician, he can only be regarded as a politician.

After figuring this out, how to write this policy, Zhao Yan already knew it in his heart, it was nothing more than a slap of Li Zhizhou's horses, he didn't have a pair of iron bones, so he naturally had no psychological burden on it, and after finishing the draft, a sycophant article was swept away.

As for the last poem, the title given by Li Zhizhou is to take 'bamboo' as the title, and ask the candidates to make a poem about things, poems can also be poems, and words can also be used.

Okay, Li Zhizhou asked people to write about current affairs in front of him to pat his ass, and then borrowed bamboo as a metaphor for his Qinggao, he wanted to be a bitch and wanted to set up an archway, but there was really no one.

What is Bamboo? Bamboo is a grass, not a tree...... In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were seven sages of the bamboo forest, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called the three friends of the cold and the cold with the pine and the plum, and it was a plant that the literati and writers liked to compose poems and essays to praise since ancient times, and it had the meaning of nobility, loyalty, and integrity.

If you talk about the poems related to bamboo before the Ming Dynasty, it is really too numerous, but unfortunately Zhao Yan knows that others also know, so naturally they can't copy it, and he only remembered one poem of Yongzhu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone" in the Qing Dynasty.

This "Bamboo and Stone" and Yu Qian's "Lime Yin" were included in the primary school textbook, because these two poems are strange and outstanding, so Zhao Yan still remembers them clearly.

Yu Qian has not become a national hero at this time, and naturally he was not killed by Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, he is patrolling Shanxi and Henan, and his reputation is rising, and the song "Lime Yin" is said to have been composed when he was twelve years old.

For the name of this benevolent brother, Zhao Yan is naturally like thunder, but at this time in the exam, it is useless to think too much.

Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone" would definitely be favored by Li Zhizhou if it was written, but Zhao Yan was really a little awkward in his heart to plagiarize the poems of the 'juniors' so blatantly. Even if this poem is not done well, it should not affect his ability to pass the county exam, Zhao Yan thought of this and dispelled the idea of plagiarism, and decided to make a poem by himself to confuse the past.

"Yongzhu", the green bamboo is secluded and multi-stemmed, towering into the forest and innocent...... I barely wrote a seven-character poem, and it seemed that it was still early, but someone had already gotten up and started to hand in the papers. Zhao Yan put the scroll on Li Zhizhou's table, this time Li Zhizhou didn't give him any looks, just nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

After the third exam, it will be two days before the case will be reported, but this time the case is all with real names, called 'long cases', and the first place is naturally the head of the county test.

The article that Zhao Yan made in the first game has been handed over to Li Fuzi to read after being silently written, and judging from Li Fuzi's experience, it is not a problem to pass the county examination. It's just that even if he passes the county exam, there are still government exams and hospital exams later, Li Fuzi is still not optimistic about Zhao Yan, unless he can get the first case.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and this time the case was announced as the final results of the county examination, and the anxious candidates spontaneously gathered at the gate of the state school early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of the 'final judgment'.

When Zhao Yan first came to the gate of the state school, he was invited by Liu Jing's family to the second floor of the Shiyun Building, at this time, several tables on the street upstairs were already full of people, Zhao Yan glanced at it, but he only knew Liu Jing, Qian Liangcai, Li Xun, and Wang Xian who were with him.

The four of them sat around the same table, and there was a young man at the same table, this young man had beautiful eyebrows and a gentle temperament, and he looked two or three years older than Zhao Yan.

Liu Jing saw Zhao Yan coming upstairs, so he beckoned him to sit at his table, and then introduced him: "Brother Zhao Xian, this is Brother Zhang Xian, the prodigy of the jujube family who I talked to you about before. Brother Zhang Xian, this is Brother Zhao Xian, both of you are not as young as the weak crown, but you are generally young and promising, but you have to be close to each other. ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly said: "I have seen Brother Zhang, in Xia Zhao Yan, born in Xuande for six years, and there is no expression yet. I had heard Brother Liu mention that Brother Zhang was quick to think and could recite, and he was fortunate to be able to do so. ”

That Zhang Wenyuan didn't support it either, and when he heard the words, he got up and hugged his fists and said: "In the next Zhang Wenyuan, the adults in the family gave the word 'studious', and he was born in Xuande for three years. Brother Liu's words are really over-awarded, but it's just a little famous, so don't mention it. ”

Liu Jing saw that the two of them were holding one and one was humble, he smiled and stretched out his hand to sit down with the two, and said, "Today, I am waiting to see the case, and the two virtuous brothers don't have to say polite words again." ”

Wang Xian, who is related to Wang Dahu, is a stuffy gourd, just sitting there smiling and silent, Li Xun and Qian Liangcai are much more lively, seeing that there will be some time before the case, the two proposed to do some games to pass the time, Liu Jing likes to be lively, so he naturally agreed, Zhang Wenyuan and Wang Xian did not object, so only Zhao Yan was left alone.

Zhao Yan really hasn't been in contact with the games between literati in this era, and his heart is a little weak, but several other people should be down, if he says not to play, then obviously refute the face of a few people, and can only tentatively say: "I don't know what game a few virtuous brothers want to play?" The younger brother was blunt, for fear of disturbing the interest of several virtuous brothers. ”

Qian Liangcai and Zhao Yan sat next to each other, in addition to reading on weekdays, he often followed his father for consultation, although his medical skills were not very good, he had practiced the ability to read people, and when he saw Zhao Yan's appearance, he knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "How about our pairs?" I'll first make an upper link, Brother Liu on my right will be punished for the next link, if you can't come up, you will be punished for a glass of wine, and if you can come up, you won't be punished, and then Brother Liu will come out again, and Brother Li on the right of Brother Liu will be on the lower link, and finally it will be Brother Zhao Xian's turn. Brother Zhao Xiandi and Brother Zhang Xiandi are not as young as a weak crown and should not drink alcohol, so they replace wine with tea, how about it? ”

Compared with word games such as Tibetan poems and palindromic poems, it is already relatively simple, Zhao Yan is not afraid, and even if he can't get it, he just needs to drink a cup of tea.

Qian Liangcai didn't procrastinate, and said to himself: "My upper link is 'two, three, four, five', Brother Liu, please go down." ”

Liu Jing does some word games with people on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, this Shanglian lacks a 'one', which means 'lack of clothes', and I have a 'ten' for 'six, seven, eight, * nine', just to make up for lack of food and clothing." ”

Qian Liangcai said yes when he heard this, and then asked Liu Jing to go down.

Liu Jing pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled evilly, and said to Li Xun on his right: "Brother Li, I have listened to you, it is 'lonely and cold and empty', right?" ”

Li Xun shook his head and smiled, and thought for a while before he said: "Brother Liu, I really heard of this pair of upper couplets before I went down, and I thought about it all day, but I could barely come up with a pair of lower couplets." What do I think of 'Pretty Woman'? ”

Zhao Yan read silently in his heart next to him, and found that the words in Liu Jing's upper couplet were all Bao Gaitou, while the words in Li Xun's lower couplet were all single-handed, neat and neat, and the meaning could barely be said, so he couldn't help but nod secretly.

"Then you're right, let's get out of the link." Liu Jingsao saw the untouched wine glasses in front of several people, and said with a smile: "The wine is not allowed to be drunk at present, and next time I will deliberately not be able to deal with Brother Qian's uplink, and I will always have to get over the addiction to alcohol." ”

A few people laughed, and Li Xun came out of the upper link, and Zhang Wenyuan next to him was in the lower link.

The sun is getting higher and higher outside, but the door of the state school has never been opened, and the people who are just waiting are panicking, and they are talking about why the case is so late.

A group of people led by Xuezheng Yan Fu believed that 'there is no elder in learning, and the one who achieves is the first', and the candidate with the seat number Bingchen wrote smoothly, although the language was concise, but it said the real 'way of the university', and should be promoted to the first place.

The reason why they don't want to promote the 'Bingchen candidate' to the head of the case is not that they don't look down on the articles they wrote, but that the Bingchen candidates are only fifteen years old, and they feel that they have the courage to put them on the case, fearing that the ending will be similar to that of the Song Dynasty' Fang Zhongyong, if so, it will harm him.

The two groups of people quoted scriptures, talked like a river, and argued endlessly for nearly an hour, but in the end there was still no result, seeing that it was not early, and it would be inappropriate if the case did not happen again, they all looked at Li Zhizhou, who was sitting in the hall, hoping that he could stand up and make a final decision.

Li Zhizhou had a headache when he saw this, he was most annoyed by this kind of thing, you said that one or two of you are not young, what is there to fight for, isn't it the name of the head of the case?

At the beginning in the Hongbin Building of Hengshui City, the words of the Han prefect and the future life were well known, and then the official tried his best to get in touch with the Han prefect, but he did his best, who knew that the nerd was a mallet, and every time he went, he looked like he was doing business, and he really couldn't get a needle pierced and the water couldn't be splashed.

Now, if he gives that posterior a false name as the head of the case, when the time comes, he will say a few good words for the official in front of the Han Governor's Mansion, at least he can earn some impression for the official, but the official has no loss, and this business is quite cost-effective.

The plan has been decided, Li Zhizhou glanced at everyone in the hall, and then ordered someone to take the list, and wrote the words 'Taocun Zhao Yan' in the blank space above the 'red middle', which is the head of the case.
