Chapter 264: Trouble

Today is the day of the list, early in the morning, Song Qiqiu hurriedly went out and came to the poster to wait, but he didn't want to, he came early, but many people came earlier than him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Many scholars pretended to be casual and chatted with the people around them, but at the same time, they looked around from time to time to see if the tolerance of the list had come.

Although I heard that the number of people recruited for the Huainan imperial examination this time will be much higher than that of the imperial imperial examination, everyone does not know whether it is true or not.

As for the re-election, there will be an exam presided over by Yang Xingmi himself, but it is only used for ranking, and will not eliminate people, so everyone pays more attention to the list of this re-election.

"Brother Liu, are you here too?" At this time, Song Qiqiu suddenly collapsed, but found a familiar person among the crowd, it was Liu Rengui who lived with him during this time.

Liu Rengui is the son of Haozhou Assassin Shi, which Song Qiqiu also knows, but the identity of Yang Xingmi's son-in-law Song Qiqiu is not very clear, after all, he is just a foreign student, and there is no source in Guangling.

However, even if he is only the son of Haozhou Thorn History, his identity is very extraordinary.

In this era, many local assassins are hereditary, although Huainan's assassin history has been greatly reduced after this separation of military and government, but it is still a hero. If their son-in-law is a scholar, he can get a good errand casually, so Song Qiqiu has always wondered why he took the path of the imperial examination.

In addition, the situation of fraud in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was more serious, and many powerful people would interfere with the final result, although Huainan heard that King Wu and the prince attached great importance to the imperial examination, but to say that there was no fraud, Song Qiqiu absolutely did not believe it.

At this time, seeing that he was also present and waiting for the list to be released, Song Qiqiu hurriedly asked: "Brother Liu, I heard that Ling Zun is also an old subordinate of the king, didn't he help you dredge up this imperial examination?" At the very least, you should have a way to get the list of candidates for the high school entrance examination in advance, right? ā€

"My father? He didn't care about anything, he just insisted that I come to participate in this imperial examination. As for the list of candidates for the high school entrance examination, I don't know. ā€

Liu Rengui couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't know that Yang Xingmi had already decided to let him take the test, and now he was looking forward to winning the test, but he was also afraid that he would attract criticism after the test.

In fact, there are several people who have similar thoughts to him, such as Yin Chongwen, whose father is the chief examiner of this imperial examination, and he is more worried about criticism than others. Moreover, Yin Wengui also asked him to participate in the imperial examination in a few years to avoid suspicion, but later Yang Xingmi directly came forward to persuade him, and finally let him participate this year.

It was Yang Wu's brother Yang Xin, but at this time he was calm in his heart, although he didn't know if Yang Xingmi and Yang Wu would deliberately help him open the back door, but he was not such a pedantic person, as long as he didn't take the initiative to go to the relationship, he didn't care what others did.

Not long after, the tolerance for the release of the list finally arrived, causing all the exams to squeeze forward, wanting to see the results as soon as possible, Song Qiqiu was unfortunately squeezed to the back, but Liu Rengui squeezed into the front.

"It's really ...... to be crowded together in such a mess with so many scholars" Liu Rengui was a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect that he would have such a day.

Fortunately, since only fifty people were admitted, the list was not too long, and it was posted in less than a moment.

"First place, Yizhou Shizi, Wang Taifu ......"

"Second place, Xunyang Shizi, Jiang Mengsun ......"

"Third place, Guangling Shizi, Xu Rong ......"

……

Liu Rengui looked at the names one by one, hoping to find his name from them, and suddenly he saw Song Qiqiu's name, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, after all, this is also a friend he has known during this time, and he can take the test and not make good friends during this time.

"Brother Song, you have passed the test, and you are still in fourth place...... Seeing that Song Qiqiu was still outside and trying to squeeze in with an anxious face, Liu Rengui hurriedly told him the news loudly, but it caused a large number of candidates around him to be amazed.

Song Qiqiu's heart jumped violently: "Really hit?" So in the future, I will be a member of Huainan, and I will have nothing to do with Jiangxi? But his father is still an official in Hongzhou, what should he do? ā€

Song Qiqiu was in a complicated mood, but then he was replaced by full joy, after all, it was also an honor for his efforts for so many years to be recognized.

After a while, Liu Rengui also saw his name, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he finally didn't lose face because he didn't fall off the list, right? It's just that is there a relationship between the kings and the kings?

He didn't know that the current Huainan imperial examination and the current imperial imperial examination are much stricter in preventing fraud, at least this time there is nothing greasy in the step of marking the papers.

Some people are on the list and proud, and naturally there are more people who are frustrated because they fall off the list, and those who have strong psychological tolerance are okay, but after learning that they are on the list, they just feel uncomfortable and sigh a few words.

But those who have weak bearing capacity are different, and a few scholars cried on the spot, crying while telling how difficult it was for their years of hard work, their heads hung over the beam, and their cone pierced their shares, and finally they still fell off the list, which attracted the hearts of the surrounding fallen scholars.

In the final analysis, although the number of admission places in the Huainan imperial examination is indeed much more than that of the imperial court, there are still only a few scholars who come to participate in the re-election, and this is not counting those who were eliminated in the primary election.

At this time, among the scholars, someone suddenly shouted loudly with grief and indignation: "The imperial examination is unfair and openly fraudulent, this one is called Yin Chongwen, the son of the chief examiner Yin Wengui, and this scholar named Liu Rengui is the son-in-law of King Wu, and this Yang Xin is the nephew of King Wu!" Why did they all win, but I didn't make the list? ā€

"Although I, Wang Ke, am not talented, I think I answered the imperial examination very well this time, and I dare not say that I am the first in high school, but I should have no problem in the middle school examination, why is there no name on the list?"

"What's more, these children of the family already have various ways to become officials, why use this kind of fraudulent means to participate in the imperial examination and squeeze the quota of ordinary scholars such as me?" The gentleman apparently had some sources and knew all about the inside information.

Song Qiqiu was stunned, but he didn't expect that Liu Rengui was still Yang Xingmi's son-in-law, as a person who was in the middle test, and after dating Liu Rengui during this time, he was happy about Liu Rengui's test; But if this imperial examination is really so dark, it will be too disappointing.

The other scholars around him didn't care much about other things about this Wang Ke, but they were deeply touched by what he said about the problem of the children of the family squeezing the places of ordinary scholars like them.

If what this person says is true, then the problem is a bit bigger. Liu Rengui and Yang Xin, one is Yang Xingmi's son-in-law, and the other is Yang Xingmi's nephew, if these two people have no other way to become officials but to participate in the imperial examination, they absolutely do not believe it.

In that case, why did they have to come to occupy the quota of ordinary scholars?

And Yin Chongwen's problem is even more serious, he came to participate in the imperial examination as the son of the chief examiner, and finally won the fifth place, there is no shady scene in this?

For a while, hundreds of unsuccessful scholars in the field were excited, and they all asked for an explanation, especially the one named Wang Ke, who fanned the flames on the side, and even proposed to go to the gate of the Jiedu Embassy to protest, saying that if he didn't give an explanation, he would block the door of the Jiedu Embassy.

Fortunately, many scholars have not fainted, and they know that it is okay to make trouble about this kind of thing, but if they go too far, it will cause bad results, and even their participation in the imperial examination in the future may be affected. So in the end, hundreds of scholars just blocked the tolerance of the list, and they wanted to ask for an explanation.

Naturally, the tolerances did not dare to slack off, so they persuaded the candidates to get out of the way and put a tolerance as a representative to report the matter, but the other tolerances were still surrounded by them in the middle.

On the side, Liu Rengui saw that everyone was making trouble on the grounds of him, Yang Xin and others, and couldn't help but be furious, this time he didn't look for anything at all, he relied on his true ability to take the test, and it was not his own intention to participate in the imperial examination, but his father's request, and now everyone is ready to splash sewage on him, so he naturally doesn't do it.

Song Qiqiu saw that he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brother Liu, everyone is angry at this time, it is not appropriate to come to them, and even your identity cannot be exposed, otherwise who knows what will happen, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to clean up." Brother Liu should wait and see how the king and the prince deal with this matter! ā€

In the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, when he heard that there was a troublesome incident with a fallen scholar, Yang Wu couldn't help frowning.

"These scholars are like this, His Royal Highness is polite to them, they think they are in heaven, this time they are just making trouble, if it is in the future, will it be overturned?" On the side, Gao Mian said angrily.

He was also a scholar, and from his heart, he also hoped to strengthen the rule of culture, but it was precisely because of this that he was even more dissatisfied with these troublemakers.

This is not because he was questioned as the examiner, but because he had experienced war and knew that in the troubled times, military generals were in power, and the status of scholars was low, which made him worried.

Now that the imperial examination has finally been rebuilt, Yang Xingmi and his son have also shown great interest in and attach great importance to Wenzhi, if it is because of the chaos of these people, Yang Xingmi and his son show disgust to Wenzhi, then the responsibility is heavy.

Therefore, when he learned that the scholars were in trouble, he was more angry than anyone else, and wanted to deal with them more severely.

"Mr. Gao, don't be busy getting angry first, you find out his answer sheet first, let me take a look at it first!" Yang Wu shook his head.

It really annoyed him that these scholars were so aggressive, but he didn't get dizzy because of this, he turned to Fan Yu and asked, "What is the origin of this scholar named Wang Ke?" Is there anyone behind him? ā€

"This Wang Ke is an Ezhou candidate, more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, I heard that he had gone to Chang'an many times to catch the exam, but he failed to make the list. As for whether he was instructed by someone to deliberately provoke the candidates to make trouble, it is difficult to find out in a short period of time. Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ā€

Yang Wu nodded in understanding, so many candidates came to take the exam, just relying on so many people from Fan Yu to check, how could it be possible to find out all of them in a short period of time? At most, after the results of the examination come out, the scholars who passed the examination will be investigated to prevent spies sent by other feudal towns from getting in.

"Since you can't find it out in a short time, let's ignore him for now."

At this time, Gao Mian had also found out Wang Ke's answer sheet, which was ranked after the eighty, Yang Wu had not seen it in person before, and he frowned when he took it and looked at it.

Not to mention how well his strategy is doing, just because his "line test" part is too low a score is difficult for him to pass the second selection, and then looking at his strategy, Yang Wu shook his head even more.

The essays of this man are good, neat and neat, the writing is gorgeous, and the calligraphy is also very good, but the most crucial content is flashy and unrealistic, and there is no useful opinion at all. This kind of strategy, it is no wonder that Gao Mian, who pays attention to practicality, only gave him 60 points, which may be given so many points considering his style and calligraphy, otherwise I am afraid that he will only give 30 or 40 points.

"There is nothing to say!" Yang Wu smiled, commented, took a red pen again, and marked these four words on his answer sheet.

"Fan Yu, you go and post the answer sheets of the fifty candidates in this high school examination, and then post this Wang Ke's examination paper next to it, so that those candidates can see for themselves whether there is any shady scene in this imperial examination. You tell the candidates again, I Huainan take scholars, what I need are those who have real talent and learning, not those who only know how to pile up words. In addition, the final round of exams, which will be conducted by my father himself, will be held in three days, so you should tell those who have passed the second round to prepare for this few days! ā€

"Subordinates obey!" Fan Yu respectfully took the answer sheets, and asked, "Then do those troublemakers want to ......?"

"No need." Yang Wu shook his head, "I believe that in the face of the facts, they will understand the truth of this imperial examination." ā€

On the side, Gao Mian saw that Yang Wu had not changed his attitude towards the imperial examination, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness, your subordinates are the chief examiners of this imperial examination, and this time there is a mess, and your subordinates have the responsibility to do so, please allow me to go to the scene to deal with this matter!" ā€

Yang Wu nodded and said, "It's better for you to go in person, it's more convincing!" However, for the sake of safety, this time you have to bring some soldiers to the scene to maintain order, and you can't let these candidates mess around. By the way, this time the examinees can not be held accountable for making trouble, but next time, if there are any more examinees who make trouble, they will be disqualified from the imperial examination! ā€

At this time, seeing a large number of heavily armed soldiers arriving, their faces were as pale as dirt, and they thought they were going to kill, and they couldn't help but regret it.

However, the scholar named Wang Ke could still be very calm and shout loudly at this time, "The imperial examination is unfair".

Fortunately, after these soldiers arrived, they just drove the soldiers to a safe distance, and then posted the answer sheets of the pilot test soldiers and Wang Ke's answer sheets.

"These are the answers of the candidates who passed the re-selection this time, and you can see for yourself whether there is any fraud, and if you feel that you have done better than these candidates' answers after reading them, you can put them forward. As for this exam paper...... Gao Mian pointed to Wang Ke's answer sheet and said loudly: "This is the answer sheet of this scholar named Wang Ke, His Royal Highness personally gave instructions on his answer sheet, do you know that His Royal Highness gave instructions like this?" ā€

"There is nothing to say!"

The scholars were in an uproar, but Gao Mian ignored Yang Wu's confession, and finally said without warning: "The troublemaker this time is not to blame in the past; Next time, if any candidate makes trouble again, they will be disqualified from the exam! ā€
