Peng Ze, the prefect of Baoding, was chatting in the examination hall with Chen Guangyao, the prefect of Qingdu County, Bian Dasheng, the magistrate of Wanxian County, Du De, the magistrate of Tang County, and Sima of Boye Zhixian County.

At this time, it was still early for the first card, and several magistrates simply reported to Peng Ze the specific situation of the county test in their respective counties, as well as the optimistic talents.

This is a rare opportunity to get close to Shangguan, and it is also a good opportunity to express how he governs the county in the Qingming Dynasty, how he has the people in his heart, and makes decisions for the people. Except for Chen Guangyao, who said less, the other three magistrates were all flattering and talking.

Although Peng Ze is only in his thirties, he has a lot of experience in officialdom, and he naturally knows the thoughts of several magistrates, and he can't be clearer. But he still listened with a smile, and from time to time he wanted to praise or give a few words of guidance.

In officialdom, it's about face. At this time, you have given everyone face, and everyone's face will be better, and they will work harder to go back to govern the county.

Hehe! Peng Ze's way of dominating is very good.

"My lord, someone has handed in the exam papers!" After entering the examination hall with Zhou Zhi's examination papers, the subordinate knelt on the ground to report.

"Huh! This must have been handed over by Liu Long of Boye County, a lower official. That Liu Long is the queen of the Liu family, and he has been studying since he was a child, and he has been working very hard. In fact, he should have taken the exam a long time ago, but it was only because Liu Long's father, Liu Shang, Lord Liu, was always pressing, so that he laid a good foundation and delayed it until this year.

Liu Long is quick to think, it is not surprising that he handed in the exam papers so early, which was expected by the lower officials!

Since Liu Ge is old, it seems that the Boye Liu family is going to be talented! Sima Zhixian of Boye County did not wait for Peng Ze to speak, but said to Peng Ze flatteringly.

Although Liu Ji's reputation in the imperial court was very poor, he still had some prestige in the area of Baoding Mansion. In addition, Liu Ji's son Liu Shang was an official in Beijing at this time, although his grade was not high, but the power in his hands was not small. Therefore, Sima Vigil has always respected the Liu family.

In fact, this is also an opportunity to curry favor with Liu Shang, in his heart, Liu Shang's official position will definitely be promoted soon, and he has a good relationship with the Boye Liu family, isn't his future brighter after Sima Vigil?

Although Peng Ze knew the reputation of Liu Ji, because he was the prefect of Baoding after all, he also respected the Liu family very much in many cases.

He knew that although Liu Shang was only a seventh-grade official, he was the superintendent of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was better for people like this not to be offended.

It is best to stay away from it or to stay away from it.

Peng Ze's face was as usual, he took the exam paper from the hand of the servant, and first looked at the name on the exam paper. Peng Ze's heart chuckled.

Zhou Zhi turned in the paper so early? Couldn't he cope with the questions of this government exam? He is the head of the county test in Qingdu County, and his articles and talents have been seen with his own eyes. Could it be that this kid is here for child's play today?

Unreliable, too unreliable!

Rao is Peng Ze is very optimistic about Zhou Zhi, and even feels that according to Zhou Zhi's talent, it is very likely that he will win the first case in this government examination. But he didn't believe that Zhou Zhi could answer the question so quickly and hand in the exam papers.

Turning in the exam paper at this time undoubtedly shows that Zhou Zhi did not have time to think in the examination room at all, but immediately wrote and answered the questions as soon as the exam began.

No matter how talented Zhou Zhi is, it is impossible to have such a speed.

But the facts were in front of me, and the handwriting on the exam paper was handsome and clear, as if it had been carefully written.

Peng Ze held the exam paper in his hand, and first reviewed the first question, the four-book question. After reading it, Peng Ze was shocked in his heart, good article, rapid progress.

In just over a month, Zhou Zhi has made such progress, and it seems that Liu Yu and Liu Daru in Nali County really have some ability.

Peng Ze made it really difficult to solve the second big question this time, and he also paid more attention to the second big question. Peng Ze's scripture is also "Spring and Autumn", so he appreciates Zhou Zhi's "Spring and Autumn" as the scripture very much.

After reading the problem first, Peng Ze was overjoyed. Next, after reading the article quickly, Peng Zeliang was speechless for a long time.

The article is novel, the concept is also very standardized, and the writing is even smoother. An article is written and published, and there is no taboo that is not mentioned, and there is almost no omission.

Peng Ze couldn't help but secretly say that Rao is the article he wrote on this topic is nothing more than that. Zhou Zhi can write such a masterpiece in such a short time, and Zhou Zhi is like a genius.

I didn't expect that this year's Baoding Mansion Xiucai's exam would produce a big talent.

An official like Peng Ze has long cultivated the thick black skills of joy and anger. After reading Zhou Zhi's examination papers, although he was shocked in his heart, there was no expression on his face. Instead, he handed the exam paper to the magistrate of Wanxian County next to him.

Bian Dasheng and Sima Biao, the magistrate of Boye County, are not all the way, and the two of them have a grudge against each other because of a case two years ago. Just now he heard Sima Vigil say that it was the exam paper handed in by Liu Long from Boye County, and Sima Vigil praised Liu Long at night, which made Bian Dasheng even more disgusted. Bian Dasheng actually wanted to perform in front of Peng Ze, saying that there were outstanding talents among the candidates in the county. But in recent years, Wanxian County has nothing to be proud of and praiseworthy.

Since Zhang Jian of the Zhang family was admitted to Xiucai a few years ago, Wanxian County seems to have no talent who can see it.

At the beginning, Bian Dasheng actually had the idea of visiting and befriending the Boye Liu family, but under the instigation of this Sima vigil, the Boye Liu family actually ignored Bian Dasheng, and even belittled and stepped on the pressure, which made Bian Dasheng have a hatred for the Boye Liu family in his heart.

He held the exam paper in his hand, first looked at the name on the exam paper, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Thoughtful in Qingdu County, hehe! Well, it's great if it's not from Boye County. Bian Dasheng, Su Zhiqing, Duzhi County, Chen Guangyao and Peng Ze have a close relationship.

At this time, Bian Dasheng almost didn't want to read the exam papers, so he was going to praise Zhou Zhi's article. But that would seem to be too hypocritical, so he barely had the patience to review the exam papers.

After such a cursory review, Bian Dasheng was shocked.

Is this an article written by a Confucian child? How did a Confucian boy have such a level?

Immediately, Bian Dasheng smiled, nodded uncontrollably while holding the exam paper, and exclaimed, "Good article, great, this is the best article I have read in so many years!" ”

This is clearly sycophant. Zhou Zhi's article is indeed well written, but to say that it is the best article that Bian Dasheng has ever read, this is obviously an exaggeration.

You must know that Bian Dasheng is a native of Jiangnan and was born in Jinshi. Jiangnan is full of talents, and there are countless people who can write good articles, and there is still a gap between the articles made by Zhou Zhi now and those southern talents at the time of the township examination.

Du De, the magistrate of Tang County, took the exam paper from Bian Dasheng's hand, and he was also shocked and praised. "Lord Prefect, this candidate should be the head of the case according to the lower officials!"

When Sima Zhixian heard this, his face was even more smiling. Hehe! Liu Long really got it, he got the case, and Liu Yuke of Nali County was discredited. I, Sima Vigil, said that I would also fulfill this matter, so that the relationship with the Liu family could be further improved.
