Chapter 361: The Young Son of Heaven and "On Young China" (Second Update)
Chapter 361
In the early morning, after Su Dongpo and the others hastily washed up in the palace, they each held a batch of rolls and walked towards the main hall of the court.
And after Wang Yang and the others rested for a night, the candidates who were already alive and well also entered the palace again. After the Great Song Emperor finished counting the rankings, they wanted to personally thank the Great Song Emperor, to show that they and the others were all protégés of the Son of Heaven.
Compared with the atmosphere of the first day, the atmosphere of today's candidates is much more depressing, after all, yesterday they fought with their own efforts, and today, they have to wait for others to judge their fate.
Wang Yang was also in the crowd, but compared to most people, his expression was very relaxed, anyway, the only article he could get his hands on was that article, thanks to Liang Qichao, and thanks to "Chinese Teenagers Say" for the shameless inspiration it brought to him.
Well, if you copy it, you can copy it, and it is natural that you can copy it so confidently, and it is only a cheeky old driver like Wang Yang.
It's just that although Wang Yang knows that this "On Young China" is indeed very wonderful, it is difficult to say whether it can be popular in this era.
After all, more people will like remarks such as being honest and seeking the country, and Wang Yang's "On Young China" really has a sense of deviance.
Either way, as long as it's exciting enough, it's much better than writing an ordinary argument that is too mediocre and has no bright spots.
After entering the main hall again and bowing to the Son of Heaven, the nearly 100 scholars retreated to the main hall near the gate of the hall.
At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes fell on these examination papers that had been placed on the imperial case. In it, there are not many wonderful works, but most of them are old talk, and the examiners led by Su Dongpo have already assigned these examination papers according to their markings, and placed them on Zhao Xu's desk in order from best to ordinary.
When Zhao Xu looked at the examination papers, all the scholars were worried. But Wang Yang saw that Su Dongpo still had a piece of rice paper rolled up by him in his hand, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking in his heart, could it be his own test paper?
At this time, after Zhao Xu hastily flipped through the examination papers in the imperial case, he raised his head, and was about to encourage the examiners who had worked hard all night, but he also saw the strangeness of Su Dongpo.
Seeing the puzzled gaze cast by the Son of Heaven, Su Dongpo came out of the crowd and came to the bottom of the steps. "Your Majesty, the minister still has an examination paper here, and the minister thinks that this paper is magnificent and contrasting......
…… The minister thinks that it can be preferred. However, Lord Zhu felt that this volume was full of young cow immature words, arrogant words, not the old man's theory of seeking the country, and it could not be taken. ”
After saying this, Su Dongpo presented the test paper with both hands. At this time, Zhao Ji and Li Yu almost immediately set their eyes on Wang Yang, the old driver who was there, and the grass and mud horses galloped on the Malegobi in their hearts.
Lean, it is really worthy of Wang Yang Wang Wushan, and it is really an old driver who is amazing if he doesn't make a sound. Don't say that Zhao Xu was a little confused when he heard it, even Gao Taotao, who lived behind the curtain, raised his eyebrows rarely.
What kind of article would actually set off such a big storm among the examiners, so that Su Dongpo and Zhu Guangting came to the opposite evaluation.
"In that case, I really want to take a look...... Huh, "On Juvenile China"? Juvenile Chinese ...... Interesting. When Zhao Xu saw this title, he couldn't help but feel a little interested, and for some reason, he subconsciously looked at Wang Yang.
It's a pity that Wang Yang shrank in the crowd of scholars who stood near the palace gate, and he couldn't see it at all. Only then did Zhao Xu settle down and continue to appreciate this unconventional article.
Only then did he look at the hard work, and suddenly heard Zhao Xu snort softly. "Wonderful, really wonderful, but also, this statement is really magnificent......"
The civil and military ministers in the hall all looked puzzled at the great Song Emperor. Confused, itching, what kind of wonderful article did this young son of heaven see, so he would have such an expression.
It's a pity that the young genius was so radiant there, but they could only whisper in private and ask those examiners.
And those examiners are not good at saying more at this time, they can only squeak, which makes those people feel more and more uncomfortable like cats.
Wang Yang looked calm with the presence of an old god, but in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, well, although he didn't know what the result would be, but the effect he wanted had at least been achieved.
Looking at it, Zhao Xu especially saw the article "Therefore, today's responsibility is not for others, but for my youth." The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country......", I couldn't help but recall a time when I chatted with Wang Yang.
Wang Yang said something similar impassionedly, and now, the Great Song Dynasty is dying of old age, only himself, the Son of Heaven, is still young, and only Wang Yang, a genius in the world, is full of vitality. What is the special match between the young son of heaven and "On Young China"?
"The cadres will be hairy, and there will be their man; The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow; Throughout the ages, there are eight wildernesses; The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful, I am young in China, and I am not old with the sky! Zhuang, I am a Chinese teenager, and the country has no borders......" When reading the last paragraph, Zhao Xu couldn't help but slap his palm on the imperial case and applaud loudly.
Happy, really happy, the whole article is hearty, so that Zhao Xu is like drinking elixir.
It seemed that he also knew that Fang Cai's own action of applauding the case was a little inappropriate, Zhao Xu took a deep breath, and then said in a reserved tone.
"Okay, okay...... This "Theory of Juvenile China", as Su Qingjia said, is indeed grandiose, contrasting, and insightful, haha, I like it very much, no, I should say that I like it very much. "Well, it is worthy of being a young man, and his tone suddenly became high as he spoke.
At this moment, there was movement behind the Son of Heaven. "The official, the mourning family is also very curious, presumably all the secretaries present are also very curious, what kind of article makes the official family love it so much, if no one reads it?"
"What Niangniang said is very true, and the ministers also want to know the content of this article, why does Your Majesty appreciate it so much......" The minister who couldn't hold back jumped out and said.
Zhao Xu glanced at the ministers who were all looking at him, and couldn't help but smile wickedly. "In that case, how about asking Zhu Qing's family to take the paper and read it?"
It took Zhu Guangting a long time to react that it was the Son of Heaven who was calling him to let him read this article, and his face suddenly became a little uncertain, but the problem was that this proposal was put forward by the Empress Dowager, if he really didn't want to read it, wouldn't it be a snap.
Well, it was not only Zhao Xu, the little kid emperor who had always been unpleasant to the old party, that was smoked, but also the face of the empress dowager. He really didn't want to, and he didn't dare to do it.
He could only blush, and after taking the exam paper handed by the eunuch, he cleared his throat and read it aloud.
