Chapter 272 Provincial Examination Chief

Originally, the two famous prostitutes of Pan Lou, especially Lin Yuchen, saved a lot of talented poems and sang harmony today!

But now with Zhong Hao's "Mulan Ci. If life is only as good as the first time I saw it", those talents are already floating clouds in her eyes, so she naturally finds a suitable one to push down those invitations, and no longer accompany them to poetry and wine ~ flow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Lin Yuchen sang poems and harmony with those wind ~ talents, mainly so that they could help make a few wonderful words! At this time, with Zhong Hao's wonderful lyrics, naturally she doesn't have to go to poetry and wine with those talents for the sake of words~flow!

Lin Yuchen believes that with this wonderful song of "Mulan Ci", it is enough for her to stand out in the Royal Street performance next month!

It was Lin Yuchen and Hua Xiaodie who had been with Zhong Hao and the three of them to talk and laugh on this Shangyuan Festival, and they never left this private room.

In the fifth year of the emperor's blessing, Zhong Hao spent the Shangyuan Festival accompanied by Xu Feng and Lu Qi, as well as Lin Yuchen and Hua Xiaodie, two famous prostitutes of Pan Lou, and had a very happy time.

…………

The start of the spring exam is set on the ninth day of February, and there are only about 20 days to prepare after the Shangyuan Festival!

During the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Qi invited Zhong Hao to live with him so that they could often get together together!

In this regard, Xu Fengzi was also very happy that Zhong Hao could go to him, of course, he was a guest and it was not good to take the initiative to invite, at this time, listening to Lu Qi's invitation, he naturally helped Zhong Hao to come over!

Zhong Hao was worried that no one could exchange some of the experience and skills of learning the questions in the next scientific examination, and he could communicate more with Xu Feng when he went to Lu Qi, which was very good, so he naturally agreed.

However, when Zhong Hao went to tell Yang Huaiyu that he wanted to move to Lu Qi, Yang Huaiyu resolutely refused to allow it.

"How do you say that eldest brother, we have been born and died in the northwest and southern Xinjiang in the past two years, and the kid surnamed Lu has only known each other for a few days, if you move to him, what will my Yang Huaiyu's future face be when I go out to meet people!"

Zhong Hao said that he just wanted to communicate more with his third brother Xu Feng, and let Xu Feng give him some guidance on the skills of taking the exam.

Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but say: "Then let this Third Brother Xu come to live with us!" There are a lot of idle houses in our western courtyard, all of which are connected to the earth dragon, wouldn't it be right for him to come to us! Since it is the eldest brother and your third brother, it is naturally my Yang Huaiyu's third brother, let our own third brother send people under the fence! ”

Well, Zhong Hao was blocked by Yang Huaiyu at that time and had nothing to say!

Yang Huaiyu is straightforward and straightforward, and at that moment Yang Huaiyu pulled Zhong Hao to get Xu Feng to the west courtyard of the Yang Mansion.

Lu Qi saw that he couldn't invite Zhong Hao to come, and he originally wanted to keep Xu Feng, but Yang Huaiyu glared at him, and he couldn't help but dare not say more. These generals are more deterrent to people than those of other families, because they always beat people when they disagree, and the disciples of the generals don't like to use force, so they don't lose the family style of the generals. Lu Qi was really afraid that Yang Huaiyu would not be able to hold back and beat people, so he couldn't help but watch his family a little embarrassed as he packed up Xu Feng's things, loaded them into the carriage, and dragged Xu Feng away.

Zhong Hao saw that Yang Huaiyu was too rude, so he couldn't help but step forward to comfort Lu Qi and said, "Brother Lixin, don't mind, this kid Zhongrong is such a temper, and he is not targeting you!" In this case, let Third Brother Xu go to Yang's Mansion to stay for a while, when Brother Lixin has free time, remember to go to us often to get together! ”

"Definitely, definitely, brother, I wish Wenxuan this high school in advance!" Lu Qi finally made a young and promising friend like Zhong Hao, so he naturally wished to have more friendships with him.

"Thank you, Brother Lixin, Jiyan!"

Xu Feng is also very happy to be able to stay at the Yang family, how can the Yang family say that it is also a famous Jiangmen family in the Great Song Dynasty, and now it is the only Jiangmen in the Great Song Dynasty who can still fight. Although Xu Feng was a literati, like many literati in the Great Song Dynasty, he still respected the Yang family, the only general who could fight.

Although Yang Jinjing was defeated in Lingnan, Yang Jiawei's reputation was somewhat damaged. However, Yang Wenguang then served as the vanguard of Di Qing's southward counterinsurgency army, and then made great contributions to revive the prestige of the Yang family! Yes, now the Yang family is still majestic in the Great Song Dynasty!

On the first day Xu Feng came to live in the West Courtyard of Yang's Mansion, Yang Huaiyu held a banquet for him!

After that, Yang Huaiyu knew that this was still very close to Dechun, so he no longer came to disturb Xu Feng and Zhong Hao's preparation.

However, Yang Huaiyu was also very interesting to Xu Feng, and also sent him two handsome little maids with heroic postures.

That day, when he saw the two little maids of Yang Mansion led by Zhong Hao in Daxiangguo Temple, Xu Feng was greedy. However, although Zhong Hao can share anything with Xu Feng, he can't share women, so he directly blocked Xu Feng's attempt to this little peach and Xiao Xing at that time. Now Yang Huaiyu sent him these two little maids, which was quite as Xu Feng's wish.

Zhong Hao felt that these two little maids were afraid that they would not be able to escape Xu Feng's clutches.

Xu Feng is also personable, has a good family background, and is extraordinary, with his conceit, it must not be strong, and when the two little maids are taken down by him, it is probably something that you and I are willing to do, but it is not a big deal!

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng live quite comfortably in the west courtyard of Yangfu, studying together to prepare for exams on weekdays, and having a little maid to serve them, which is really comfortable.

…………

The days of studying passed quickly, since the Shangyuan Festival, Zhong Hao and Xu Feng studied together in the West Courtyard of Yangfu, and soon half a month passed.

On the second day of February, the dragon raises its head! The second day of February is also called the Dragon Head Festival, and according to legend, the second day of February is the day when the ancestor of the descendants of Yan and Huang, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, was born.

As a festival, the Dragon Head Festival is legendary and began in the time of King Wu of Zhou! Legend has it that during the reign of King Wu of Zhou, a grand ceremony would be held on the second day of February every year, calling on all civil and military officials to plough in person, which has been handed down since then!

In the Great Song Dynasty, on the second day of February every year, the officials and queens of the Great Song Dynasty would go to the Sheji altar to worship the sky, and then "the royal driver ploughed, the emperor and the queen kissed the mulberry", and carried out a grand ceremony of persuading farmers.

Among the people, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, who are full of entertainment spirit, define February 2 as the "Flower Dynasty Festival", that is, this day is designated as the birthday of the hundred flowers. The implication is that from the second day of February, the weather will start to warm up and it will be open.

This year is the year of opening the department, after returning to the palace after completing the pro-ploughing ceremony, the official Zhao Zhen couldn't take a break, so he asked Wang gradually to take people to summon the bachelor of Jixian Academy and Wang Gongchen of Hanlin Academy. The reason why Wang Gongchen was summoned was because the chief examiner of the Huangyou Department decided to serve as him.

Of course, in addition to Wang Gongchen, there were also a series of fellow examiners, deputy examiners and subject examiners, who were also invited by Wang gradually to invite them separately.

This February 2 is an auspicious day, and Zhao Zhen decided to appoint the examiners of this subject today.

As soon as Wang Gongchen came back from the altar and took off his sacrificial clothes, he received an order, so he hurriedly put on his official clothes, and hurriedly followed the king to the palace under the protection of the inner guards, or under the surveillance.

For the purpose of this trip, the two sides tacitly agreed, and soon arrived at the inner palace, came to the outer hall of the vertical arch hall, and saw that Wang Fang, a bachelor of Hanlin, Mei Zhi, a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, Han Jiang, a Zhizhi system, Lu Qinggu, a cultivator of Jixian Palace, and Mei Yaochen, a direct lecture of Guozijian, had been brought here.

After everyone met, they only saluted briefly and did not say much. When the king saw that the people had arrived, he sang to the crowd, "Everyone, wait a minute, let us go in and say hello." ”

Only a moment later, Wang gradually came to spread the word that it was summoned by the official family!

The ministers entered in shifts, only to see that Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had also changed out of his sacrificial clothes, put on a very formal front gauze robe, wore a square heart curved collar, and his head was covered with a crown to the sky.

This dress is only worn by officials during the New Year's Festival. In ordinary times, officials wear banners and scarlet robes, which is no different from ministers.

Obviously, the official family attaches great importance to the appointment of the Chunqiu examiner, and is dressed very formally.

After the courtiers saluted, there was a eunuch announcing the holy decree, and it was indeed a ceremony about the talent of Jinke.

The official family appointed Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi, Jixian Academy's direct bachelor Quan Zhi Gongju: Hanlin Bachelor Wang Fang, Longtu Pavilion Straight Scholar Mei Zhi, Zhi Zhi Han Jiang, Jixian Hall Revision Lu Qinggu, Guozijian Zhijiao Mei Yao Chenquan Tongzhi Gongju.

In addition to the chief and deputy examiners, a total of 38 officials were appointed, including the examination officer, the examination officer, the re-examiner, the frontispiece officer, the gate official of the Gonggong Academy, the seal officer, and a number of officials in related fields.

It also announced the specific dates of the provincial test locking the hospital, introducing the test, and releasing the list.

In addition to the appointment and date, the examiner's rules were preached as usual: first, lock the hospital to prevent requests. From the date of the appointment to the date of the release of the results, the examiner has been locked in the Gongyuan to prevent the entrustment.

Second, don't try to avoid suspicion of relatives, that is, the relatives of the examiner should set up another examination room, and the relatives of the examination will raise people and take the exam.

There are also various examination room disciplines, which are all over the place, and they are not listed one by one.

After the chief examiner received the order, the official family encouraged the examiners again, saying that this scientific examination is a great ceremony for the national dynasty, and it is related to the selection of talents, the prosperity of the country and political stability. We must be fair, we must be public, and we must not be partial.

After repeating the old tune, the officials retreated and were directly escorted by the Ouchi guards to the Taixue Lock Courtyard.

As for the chief examiner, Wang Gongchen was left behind by the official Zhao Zhen, and he was instructed to leave before he left.

From this day onwards, until the beginning of the examination, more than ten days, they will be locked in the tribute courtyard, and there will be heavy guards to prevent the request.

During this time, Wang Gongchen, as the chief examiner, will ponder the exam questions, of course, it will not be announced until the day of the exam, in case some of the officials in these tribute courts leak the questions.

As for the other dozens of officials, they have nothing to do but drink and chat all day long, and sing poems.

Not to mention, because there is nothing to do in this tribute courtyard and there is plenty of time, the poems of these officials are extremely crafted, and they can often write good poems!

…………

After the examiner confirmed that it was Wang Gongchen, Ouyang Xiu sent someone to let Zhong Hao over, but he hadn't forgotten this old friend's son-in-law and wanted to tell him.

Xu Feng has also admired Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world, for a long time. But Ouyang Xiu is not available to him, and with this opportunity today, Xu Feng naturally wants to take the opportunity to meet him.

So Xu Feng also followed Zhong Hao to Ouyang Mansion in Yongfeng Fang to meet Ouyang Xiu!

Ouyang Xiu met the two in the Tingtao Building in his house.

Zhong Hao was on the third floor of the Tingtao Tower, and saw that he could overlook the scenery of the Bianhe River not far away from the window, and the scenery was really good, and he couldn't help but sigh a little at the elegance of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, which was really soaked in his bones.

"Ouyang Gong, this is my friend Xu Feng in Qingzhou, and his father is my teacher Xu Gong of Songlin Academy. My senior brother has also admired Ouyang Gong's name for a long time, but he has never seen his true face, so he took the liberty of leading his senior brother to visit him today! ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at Xu Feng and said, "Hehe, Brother Likun's body is okay recently?" Is there a good article coming out recently? ”

Likun is Xu Feng's father, Xu Qian, the head of Songlin Academy. In this era, those who can call each other are generally people who have some friendship with each other! Xu Feng didn't expect that Ouyang Gong, the leader of the literary league, would shout out his father's words, obviously knowing his father, Xu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Hearing Ouyang Xiu mention his father, Xu Feng hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully: "Father's health is fine, but now the main energy in the neighborhood is on the Songlin Academy, but there are few works released!" ”

Ouyang Xiu listened to Xu Feng's words and sighed: "Brother Likun has been in charge of Songlin Academy for more than 20 years, and he is full of peaches and plums, which is really admirable!" The old man has been doing nothing all these years, compared to Brother Likun, who is rooted in the academy, down-to-earth teaching and educating people, and he is really embarrassed! ”

Xu Feng listened to Ouyang's words, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Ouyang Gong is too modest, Ouyang Gong is now the leader of the Hai Nei Wenzong and the literary world, and his articles are famous all over the world, which is so admirable!" ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly: "Nowadays, the "Taixue style" occupies the mainstream of the literary world, and everyone in the world is proud of showing off their knowledge, lest the article be written to make it clear at a glance. This is very different from the ancient text advocated by the old man, what kind of alliance leader am I? ”

Zhong Hao knew that this "Taixue Body" would not last for a few years, and in the next subject, that is, the second year of Jiayou's scientific examination that Ouyang Xiu was subjected to, Ouyang Xiu would end its fate with his own hands.

But obviously, at this time, the treacherous and difficult "Taixue Style" in the Great Song Dynasty literary world is still popular, and Ouyang Xiu has not yet terminated its qualifications, of course, the time is not yet ripe.

Ouyang Xiu is still a little powerless to suppress the "Taixue Body" now, and he is a little distressed and helpless.

Seeing that Ouyang Xiu was depressed at this time, Zhong Hao couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort and encourage: "Ouyang Gong's ancient texts are as profound as the quality of the Gong, the loftiness of knowledge, and the subtlety of auxiliary academics, so they are full of articles, seen in discussions, heroic and handsome, strange and ingenious, and will be a good article that will be circulated for thousands of years in the future." And those 'too scholarly' are afraid that after a few years, no one will be able to remember them at all. Ouyang Gong, the leader of the literary world, really deserves his name! ”

Ouyang Xiu listened to Zhong Hao's evaluation, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Hehe, Wen Xuan is touting too much. In the final analysis, in today's literary world, ancient literature is still suppressed by the 'Taixue style', and the old man really doesn't want to take the lead of this literary alliance! ”
