Chapter 20 The Case Begins Below
With the sound of a gong, Zhao Chan, who woke up from the straw mat, took a deep breath, and after his brain cleared up a little, he slowly got up, sat down in front of him, looked at the title on the paper, and wrote a decent poem with enthusiasm.
What is decent.
If it is not brilliant, it will not be unpopular.
The golden mean is nothing more than that.
Two or three hours later, the gong fell, and one exam after another began to end in the sound of the gong.
The stars shifted, the sun and the moon changed, and the day and night alternated, and before I knew it, it was close to the last one.
Except for the text of the first scene, Zhao Chan did not have any brilliance.
On the contrary, there are other old students, who are ingenious in poetry and songs, and the corners of their mouths are slightly raised from time to time, and they are quite proud of their articles.
But they seem to be a little carried away, forgetting what the imperial examination is all about, too forgetful, or they know that there is no hope for the times, so they can only find another way and embark on another bright road.
These people may have Zhongyong's talent when they were young, but after such a long time, they have hurt Zhongyong in vain.
There are tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, but there are only a few people who can enter the ranks, it is not an exaggeration to pick one out of a thousand, and how many people are young and intelligent and proud, but when people reach middle age, they are inactive, and even a talent who was just a small talent in their eyes can't be examined.
There are too many......
Qingshan complains about the bones, and the loess is full of hatred.
A person is born in a long way, and it is short when it is said to be short.
In just a few decades, all of them have devoted themselves to the imperial examination.
The middle one is flying Huang Tengda Guangzong Yao Ancestor, not in the middle, just a four-body industrious, the old poor sour who does not know the grains, the mouth is full of people, before dying, the family is surrounded by four walls, when he is about to close his eyes, he sighs, the sky is not with me in vain.
It's ridiculous...
In the last game, the test was about strategy and people's livelihood, and Zhao Chan answered according to the experience passed down by his teacher Zhang Xuan, and he didn't dare to trespass at all.
Show promise?
Now is not the time.
If you emerge too early, sooner or later you will be beaten with a bag.
The county test in the children's test ended with the sound of the last gong.
Some people walked out with their heads held high, as if everything was under his control, some people walked out in frustration, and some people lowered their heads in despair, with a trace of hesitation and reluctance in their eyes.
How many times have I looked back, but I can't get a trace of care.
"Childe."
Guan Tong had already been waiting outside, waiting for Zhao Chan.
"Uncle Guan, let's go."
On the carriage, Zhao Chan wanted to take a good rest, and for three consecutive days, he was nested in a small place, and his whole body was sore, and there was still a little unbearable pain?
If you can take a hot bath and sleep beautifully, this day will be very beautiful.
Back in the inn, the hot water had already been boiled, so Zhao Chan couldn't wait to take a hot bath and immerse himself in it.
Tired....
Letting go of his body and mind, Zhao Chan felt tired for the first time, but no matter how tired he was, he had to continue to persevere.
Not to mention that for the sake of persistence, let's just say that for the figure crying in the heavy rain at that time, Zhao Chan also gritted his teeth and persevered.
An hour later, Zhao Chan came out, not only took a bath, but also slept by the way.
This sleep, Zhao Chan slept comfortably, and after the hot water turned into cold water, the cold and biting cold suddenly woke Zhao Chan up, even if it was a hot summer day, but the weather gradually turned into autumn.
"Childe, do you need to go back?"
Guan Tong asked with his head down.
"Let's go, go back to Yingtian."
"Yes!"
Guan Tong's face was overjoyed, but he hesitated a little and said, "You need to wait until the day the list is released." ”
"Uh...."Zhao Chan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
But counting the time, in two or three days, it will be the day when the list will be released.
He needed to return to Ying Tianfu immediately to prepare.
It can be said that this year's children's examination is more urgent than in previous years, and if it is changed to previous years, it will be necessary to wait until half a year before the government examination will be held according to the usual practice.
It's just that who let the current Son of Heaven just die, and the new Son of Heaven has just succeeded to the throne.
Remove the old and welcome the new!
Some things need to be accelerated, and this decree is a decree issued by Yang Ting, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Lord Yang, the intention is obviously to get rid of all the shortcomings of the Zhengde Dynasty and usher in a new era.
Yang Tinghe, who has experienced the elders of the four dynasties and defeated many political enemies, can be said that in the government and the opposition, almost all the ministers in high positions are the friends of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor's words are not as good as this Lord Yang.
One person is below ten thousand people! Or stand above the people of the world.
No words can describe this cabinet chief.
Especially when today's son is still established by him, it can be said that he Yang Tinghe is the minister of Conglong.
There's no limit to what lies ahead...
It may not be possible to get a hereditary prince to sit down.
It's just that these are all big shots, and they have nothing to do with small people like Zhao Chan, he just needs to wait for the county test list.
The next two or three days of waiting made some people seem to have waited for a lifetime, even though this is only the first threshold of the imperial examination, but some people can't even cross this threshold in their lives.
In the prefectural government
As the chief examiner, Li Feng has absolute qualifications to mark the papers, and every time he marks the papers, Li Feng will be careful and serious, which is a mission, a sacred and great mission.
"Oh, that's good."
Suddenly I read a test paper that made people's eyes shine, and after reading it carefully, it became more and more flavorful, and the font was a formal and elegant Taige style, which was square and pleasing to the eye.
Picking out this one, Li Feng continued to read the papers, and after reading all the test papers of all the scholars in the county, Li Feng took a deep breath.
"Gentlemen, this official thinks that this file should be the head of the case."
The names on all the test papers are sealed with wax, and there must be some means to see the names.
Some examiners' eyes flashed, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Li Feng.
They ate under Li Feng's hands, and they didn't dare to blatantly refute Li Feng, if they offended Li Feng because of that little profit, wouldn't it be a loss?
"My lord, I wonder if the old man can take a look?"
As a veteran, Wang Huang is qualified enough to challenge the county order.
"Mr. Wang, please."
For this old man, Li Feng didn't dare to be a little slack, the Wang family was deeply rooted in Li**, I don't know how many people have received the kindness of the Wang family, and he Li Feng is also one of the people who received the kindness of the Wang family back then.
However, Wang Huang is an old pedant who is fair, and Li Feng also believes in him.
took the test paper in Li Feng's hand, and the font that caught his eye first made Wang Huang feel happy in his heart, and slowly looked at it, Wang Huang, who was serious, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his joy became heavier and heavier.
"Good, should be the head of the case."
As soon as Wang Huang said this, he basically set the tone.
