Chapter 362

"If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak about the old and young of the people. The elderly often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past, so I am nostalgic; Thinking about the future, so there is hope. But nostalgia is also, so conservative; But hope also, so enterprising. But it is conservative, so it is eternal; Only enterprising, so the day is new......"

After hearing this opening, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, such a style of writing, such a contrast, is really refreshing, and the pen is extremely sharp, pointing directly to the hearts of the people.

Those who like it still feel like drinking elixir, and those who are disgusted suddenly feel like tasting yellow lotus. Looking at the changes in the distinct expressions of many ministers in the hall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips proudly.

Especially after those officials who were in the prime of life heard this, their perception was also a little different, and they couldn't help but look at the many old ministers in the main hall.

And many of the ministers with gray hair either showed anger on their faces, or they were calm and calm, or they lamented that they were young and crazy, and some people were as intoxicated as Su Dongpo.

And most of these candidates listened to it with fascination, and sighed, which guy wrote it, it's too awesome, right?

And at this moment, Zhao Ji and Li Yu, who were red-faced and full of agitation when they heard it, couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to Wang Yang, brother, you are really awesome, and you slapped those old rhythms in the face directly.

As for Master Wang, facing those two thumbs, he smiled very modestly and shyly, as if he was originally a humble gentleman with a humble heart.

And Gao Tao behind the thin curtain heard this beginning, a pair of eyebrows that were no longer thick black suddenly raised, pursed his lips tightly, and his expression could be described as unprecedentedly serious.

But when Zhu Guangting read the middle paragraph, he found that this was not deliberately slandering the elderly, but through some vivid examples to explain the difference between the old and the young.

“…… Wen, Wu, Cheng, Kang, Zhou Dynasty's youth also. Secluded, strong, Huan, and Xun, it is also in its old age. Gao, Wen, Jing, Wu, the boyhood of the Han Dynasty. Yuan, Ping, Huan, and Ling, then their old age is also. Since the Yu Dynasty, there is no ......"

The clear comparison method of comparing the country with people, the vigor of the youth and the old age to the national government and court, although it seems a little wild, but it is not without reason.

And the last inspiring and passionate words also made Gao Tao, who is no longer young, can't help but feel hearty, and he can't help but pat the case in front of him and drink a few times.

It seemed that something was wrong at this point, and I had to keep my mouth shut again. I became more and more curious about which one would be able to make such an article.

Could it be that this is the handiwork of Wang Wushan? With such a question, Gao Tao couldn't help but furrowed his brows.

After Zhu Guangting read it expressionlessly, he handed the exam paper back to the eunuch beside him, and then returned to his position.

"Your Majesty, this article is catchy, and the minister thinks that it is a rare good article, and it should be selected." What stood up was a deputy examiner, who was the senior waiter of the Ministry of Rites who praised the article.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this person compares the old and the young throughout the article, and treats the old man as an enemy, this kind of writing is really against the national dynasty's observance of the old and respecting the virtuous......"

"Lord Zhao's words are wrong, the old man thinks that this article is very well written, although the official is an old man, but he also thinks that the country can only be strong if it is young and strong......"

No one thought that at least the vast majority of the officials present were people who had participated in the palace examination, but they really hadn't seen it, and for the sake of an article, they actually formed two factions above the court to quarrel together.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, even if this article was finally taken down under great pressure from conservatives, but the author of this article, I am afraid that after today, it will inevitably become famous all over the world.

"Enough!" At this time, the Empress Dowager Gao Tao behind the curtain finally couldn't help it, can you ministers have a face.

Those palace exams are all here, you guys are all important ministers of the country, and you are not afraid of making people laugh at such a noisy jumping up and down.

Gao Tao's angry voice roared, and finally suppressed the mess, after the spitting ministers retreated to their respective positions.

Gao Tao asked indifferently towards the Son of Heaven. "This year's imperial examination, since Your Majesty is in charge, then it is still up to Your Majesty to judge fairly......"

"My grandson knows." Zhao Ji saluted to the figure behind the bamboo curtain, then turned around and walked to the front of the imperial case to stand still, his eyes swept over the ministers of civil and military affairs present, lifted the red pen, and fell on the examination paper that made the court a place to become a market.

After the Son of Heaven pointed out the champions, lists, and flowers of the A family according to his own preferences, he then divided the excellent and good ones into the first class of the B family, and then the second class of the B family.

At this time, Su Dongpo stepped forward, first took over the second-class test paper of the second class, and after tearing up the paste on the test paper on the spot, he called out the name of the juzi loudly......

Although everyone who was called was full of ecstasy, they quickly came back to their senses, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, they came to the palace, and soon, dozens of second-class people of the second class entered the hall and stood up.

And after Zhao Ji heard his name, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and after saluting Wang Yang and Li Yu, he strode away.

Immediately afterwards, it was the list of first-class lifters of the second class, and Li Yu was also on the list, and this goods also strode away after saluting Wang Yang with a smug face.

And Wang Yang continued to stand in place, looking like he was not shocked by honor and disgrace, but in fact, he muttered a little in his heart, I don't know what kind of ranking the Son of Heaven will give him in this article?

After all, when the Empress Dowager Gao Tao told the Son of Heaven that he wanted to select talents fairly, he already had a faint sense of warning.

This made Wang Yang feel a little regretful, it seems that he should be about to come to him soon.

But what I didn't expect was that there were more and more people who were called to stand in the temple, and there were fewer and fewer people around me, and in the end, there were only a few people left, but they still didn't have their own names.

Wang Yang's little liver couldn't help but jump wildly, could it be that Zhao Xu really wanted to fight against the empress dowager at this time?

In the end, when there were only two surprises left around him, all the first-class lifters of the B department had already arrived.

"Yuan You's eighth year of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Tanhua ......"

Another middle-aged man in his forties beside Wang Yang was so excited that his beard kept shaking, his teeth chattered, and he almost fell to the ground, but Wang Yang hurriedly helped him. "Congratulations to my brother, don't go over soon, don't lose your honor in front of you."

Zhao Tan nodded gratefully at Wang Yang, then stood still, took a deep breath, and then lifted his placket and strode forward.

And Wang Yang's heart is really special now, it is like the volleyball in the hands of Junko Oshika in "Volleyball Girl", up and down.

"In the eighth year of Yuan You, the eyes of the Gui Youke list are gradually ......" As Su Dongpo spit out this sentence, everyone's eyes first fell on the Bi Yan, whose face was first white, and then turned red into Guan Gong, and then soon, it fell on Wang Yang, who was standing in the hall and the old god was there.

Now Wang Yang is actually really nervous, and his head is about to buzz, why am I going to become the champion of the Great Song Dynasty?

"It's actually him, he actually became the champion of today's department?!" Many officials who knew Wang Yang, who gambled with Zhao Tingzhi on the spot on the birthday of the Son of Heaven, were speechless.
