Chapter 216-7: What the hell?

Although the exam papers have been distributed, the scholars have also begun to answer the papers. But Sun Henian still felt a little uneasy, and after returning to the lobby of the Gongyuan, he sat on a chair, grabbed a book and wanted to read a few pages to calm down the restless mood.

Perhaps it was Sun Dan's ruthless words just now that exposed the subconscious in Sun Henian's heart, Sun Henian thought about it, and persuaded the children of the Sun family not to participate in the autumn festival of today's Keshun Tianfu, which seemed to be upright and open-minded. In fact, there may not be a hint of the idea of fame.

He also thought that once the people in Shilin knew that they had made such a great sacrifice, they didn't know what to praise themselves for. It is conceivable that his reputation will reach a new level.

However, as soon as Sun Dan said this, Sun Henian suddenly thought, is it a bit selfish to let the Sun family make such a big sacrifice for the sake of his own reputation?

Sun Gui and Sun Hao don't say it, with the talents of these two people, they can't be decided. But...... With Yue'er's ability, if you want to be a lifter, there should be no problem, right?

He must have been very sad when he knew that he couldn't participate in the Autumn Festival.

Hey, in a sense, I'm an unqualified father, and I'm too selfish!

Sun Henian suddenly became a little decadent: What am I doing here, is it just to be the grandmaster of Enke this time, just for such a pitiful reputation. If I knew this, I should have resigned from this deputy examiner in the first place.

Thinking of this, Sun Henian hurriedly turned his attention to the book, but found that this was a book written by the Tang Dynasty "Sou Shen Ji". Zi Bu said that the strange power was "chaotic", so he usually felt dirty when he looked at the idle book, but now he was in a trance, and he couldn't read it, so he sighed, threw the book on the table, and asked: "Is there a version of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", which requires Zhu Zi's note." ”

Hearing Sun Henian's words, Qiao Yu, the examiner who had been sitting in the middle of the lobby to recuperate, said with a smile: "That book can't be brought into the examination room." ”

Sun Henian realized that the state has a rule that no books related to the exam can be brought into the examination room, not even the examiner. Zhu Zi's "Four Books" is a compulsory subject for candidates, so it is naturally strictly forbidden.

He smiled bitterly: "I forgot." ”

Qiao Yu said: "As soon as you enter the Tribute Academy, as soon as the exam starts, you can't go out for nine days and nine nights, and you can't bring a few books in, but it's not easy to pass the time at this time." I brought this book in, Ruohe Nian doesn't like this "Sou Shen Ji", I still have a copy of "Bai Lotian Collection" and Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" to read. ”

"That's good, if you have nothing to do, just read history, so let's re-read Sima Gong's "Zizhi Tongjian"."

Ordered someone to take a volume of "Zizhi Tongjian", Sun Henian flipped through it at will, and just turned to the part about Tang Taizong's opening of the imperial examination, and remembered Tang Yin's "meeting to test the problem" in the thirtieth year of Chenghua, and suddenly felt a sense of "confusion" in his heart.

The examiners of this year's Beijing Entrance Examination were Cheng Minzheng and Li Dongyang. Both of them are well-educated people, and the test questions are very cold, so that many test takers cannot answer.

Among them, there was only one test paper, which not only answered the questions appropriately, but also spoke elegantly, which made Cheng Minzheng blurt out happily: "These two papers must be Tang Yin's, and they are really good." These words were heard and spread by those present.

After Tang Yin arrived in the capital, he visited Cheng Minzheng many times, especially after he was appointed as the chief examiner, Tang Yin also asked him to write a preface to one of his poetry collections. This has created doubts in the minds of others.

This time, I heard Cheng Minzheng say this in the examination room, and he caught the handle of the people who usually hate him. A group of people have played the emperor, all saying that Cheng Minzheng took bribes and leaked the topic, and if he is not strictly investigated, he will lose the heart of the world's scholars.

Emperor Xiaozong believed it and was very angry, and immediately issued an order not to allow Cheng Minzheng to read the files, and all the files read by Cheng Minzheng were reviewed by Li Dongyang, and Cheng Minzheng and Tang Yin were sent to Dali Temple Prison and sent a special person to try them.

Afterwards, because there was no evidence, the emperor could only exile Cheng Minshi and remove Tang Bohu's fame.

In Sun Henian's view, this incident is chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no empirical evidence. Afterwards, the examiner and Tang Bohu should have been innocent. It's a pity that no matter whether there is evidence or not, if there is something, everyone can't escape it. According to the rules, if you are guilty or not, you will talk about it first.

Sun Henian is Sun Dan's elder, and now Keshun Tianfu Township test, if Sun Dan is taken, it will be a big trouble if he encounters someone who has a heart to make waves. If you don't take Sun Dan, others will say that he Sun Henian deliberately shouldn't take it for the sake of his reputation, a complete hypocrite.

Anyway, no matter what, it's not his grandson's year.

"It's really a mourning star, the Sun family met Sun Dan, even if it was bad luck." Sun Henian sighed in his heart, and he couldn't read anymore.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yu noticed that Sun Henian's expression was not moving, and asked.

Sun Henian sighed: "Master Qiao, I think being the chief examiner is a thankless errand. ”

Qiao Yu was displeased: "In the Year of the Crane, you also read the books of sages, the king has an order, I just try my best to do it, how hard to talk about how to please." The Luncai Dictionary is a very serious matter, my generation is about to be upright, and I have no shame in my heart, but I am afraid of what others will say? I know your concern, the imperial examination has always been a laborious affair. However, if you can get the trust of the Son of Heaven and let you and me do the main exam, isn't it also the expectation and attention of the court and the monarch to you and me? ”

Although Qiao Yu is a civil official, he has a strong personality and is extremely straightforward. At the beginning, when he was the secretary of the military department in Nanjing, and when he was a counselor, Ning Wang Chenhao rebelled and threatened to go to Nanjing, he was strictly guarded against it, and killed more than 300 of Chenhao's henchmen lurking in Nanjing, so that Ning Wang did not dare to go east. After King Ning's rebellion was suppressed, Emperor Wuzong went to Nanjing, remembered his merits, and crowned Qiao Yu as the crown prince and Taibao, and added Shaobao. After King Xing succeeded to the throne, he summoned Qiao Yu to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the ministry, and now he has made him the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination, and the word "Gangzheng" on Qiao Yu was obtained.

Sun Henian couldn't raise his head when Qiao Yu said it, and said, "Master Qiao is right, Sun Henian is ashamed. ”

Qiao Yu laughed and said: "Stealing half a day of leisure, you and I are busy with government affairs on weekdays, is there such a free time, it is also a good thing to live in the tribute courtyard for more than ten days......

Before he finished speaking, he saw a young candidate walking unhurriedly towards the lobby in the aisle of the examination hall outside.

Qiao Yu's eyes widened in shock by this unusual scene, and he shouted angrily for a long time: "Why did someone run out of the examination house, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Sun Henian looked over hurriedly, and his eyes were about to fall to the ground: "Sun Dan ......"
