Li Kui thought about it for a while, and finally remembered, he had seen in the old archives that a person in Tangyin County was arrested in Cizhou for the exam, and was deprived of his fame and recorded, as if he was called Li Daqi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh! Your father turned out to be ......" Li Kui was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to continue.

Li Yanqing stared at Li Kui with blazing eyes and said: "I know that my father has a bad reputation, and the matter is there, it is undeniable, but I want to ask the officials a question, will the farmer use the grain he has worked so hard to grow to feed the pigs?" ”

Li Kui didn't understand what Li Yanqing meant for a while, so he smiled and said, "Let's be more detailed, I don't quite understand." ”

"It's very simple, my father knows very well the consequences of being found out for someone else's exam, and he doesn't have a penny income to do this kind of thing, let alone any other benefits, so why should he risk his fame and future? Have the big officials thought about this truth? ”

Only then did Li Kui understand Li Yanqing's analogy just now, it is true that no one would be willing to feed pigs with grain, usually with wine lees and pigweed, and similarly, no one would be willing to use the fame of lifting people to make wedding dresses for others.

"Why is that?" Li Kui was a little curious.

"Because the person who took the exam for my father is the nephew of Ma Xiancheng, under the coercion of power, my father is cowardly by nature and does not dare not go, after the incident, my father's whole person was ruined, and Jiaci died of illness, but Ma Xiancheng was unharmed, how unfair it is to my father!"

Li Kui finally remembered that he was Ma Xiancheng's nephew, he nodded and said: "I can understand your feelings, but many things in this world have nothing to do with fairness, as an ordinary person, you can only be cautious and cautious, and don't do the kind of things you can't afford." ”

Li Kui's implication is that although it is a bit unfair, your father still went to take the substitute exam, which is a mistake in itself, and he is an ordinary person, how can he be exempt from responsibility?

At this time, Li Yanqing knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "The student doesn't want to exonerate his father, he just begs the senior officials to remove the record for him for the sake of his father who was forced to take the exam, and for the sake of his father who has broken his wife and died for many years and has been ruined for many years!" The kindness of the great officials will be remembered by the students. ”

There are two main punishments for Li Daqi's substitute examination, one is to remove people from meritorious service, and the other is to record them in the case and never participate in the imperial examination again.

For Li Daqi, once it is recorded, no examiner will admit him, even if he does well in the exam in the future.

Not only that, the official record also has a significant impact on Li Yanqing, just like his father has a criminal record, even if he is admitted to the top prize in the future, once the examiner checks his father's file records, Li Yanqing Mo said that the top student in the Jinshi has no hope of passing the ordinary state examination.

But once Li Daqi's file records are removed, even if Li Daqi is officially reformed and turned to righteousness, more than ten years later, the officials don't know how many changes they have, and this kind of small thing will not be remembered.

Of course, Li Kui understands this, and he also cherishes Li Yanqing's talent, such a genius child, it would be a pity if he was influenced by his father in the future and lost the opportunity to get ahead.

What's more important is that Li Kui has the right to remove the file records for Li Daqi, he can send someone to the township to understand Li Daqi's performance in recent years, if he has changed his past wrongs, and helps the young and the old in the township, and has a good reputation, then Li Kui can give Li Daqi a chance to remove the bad records for him.

Of course, it is impossible to re-participate in the imperial examination.

Li Kui pondered for a long time and said slowly: "For the sake of your filial piety, I can record this matter, but official affairs must be done officially, and the regulation is an observation period of five to ten years, then I will take the lower limit, and next year the state school will send someone to the township to inspect your father's performance, and if the performance is good, I will remove the bad records in the file for him." ”

Li Yanqing was very grateful in his heart, he didn't think about it for himself, he didn't want to participate in any imperial examinations at all, but he wanted to remove the official records for his father, and remove the heavy shackles in his heart for his father, so that his father could face life again.

Li Yanqing knew that according to the normal procedure, the governor would not take the initiative to ask about this kind of thing, and the county school must submit the application first, then review and approve it layer by layer, and finally reach the hands of the governor.

But Arima County is here, who will mention this again?

Although Li Kui admires himself, this is not the reason why he is willing to help himself, the real reason is his nature, his kindness and integrity, Li Yanqing is grateful in his heart, he gave Li Kui another big gift, "The love of the elderly, Yanqing remembers it." ”

．．．．．．．

There was an exam tomorrow, so Li Kui didn't talk to Li Yanqing much, but just asked him about his study and life, and let him go back.

Li Yanqing said goodbye and left the study, he just walked to the corridor outside, but he heard someone calling him behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the little lady Li Jiuzhen chasing him out.

"I said I didn't see you!" Li Yanqing stopped and smiled.

Li Jiuzhen ran forward angrily and said, "You don't want to see me at all, you run faster than a rabbit when you go out." ”

"Where is it, because there is an exam tomorrow, so I am in a hurry to go back to study."

"Hmmm! That's a good reason, forget it, I don't blame you, so how are you going to give me the new book? ”

Li Yanqing scratched her head, won't this little lady buy it herself? After a moment of thought, he smiled and asked, "Do you want Lushan Xiaoxiaozi to write you a few words in the book?" ”

Li Jiuzhen nodded heavily, that's what she meant, and she asked cautiously, "Is it okay?" ”

"No problem!"

Li Yanqing enthusiastically agreed, which was a gesture for him, but he suddenly thought that if she recognized her handwriting, wouldn't she know that she was the author? This thought was just a flash, and Li Yanqing thought of a solution, just let his father write a few words for him.

"And how do I send it to you?"

Li Jiuzhen smiled, and hurriedly handed him a note, "It is my home address, you can go to the post station and ask them to give the book to my father, remember to bandage it well, don't let them break it." ”

Li Yanqing accepted the address and waved to her, "I'm leaving, we'll see you again when we have a chance later." ”

Li Jiuzhen watched him out of the side door, and when he walked to the door, Li Yanqing turned around and waved his hand to her, and the figure disappeared outside the door.

"Jiu Niang, what's wrong?" Her father, Li Kui, appeared behind her and lovingly stroked his daughter's little head.

"Daddy, I'm here to see off Brother Qing."

Li Kui smiled and said, "The poem he wrote this morning is really good, do you want your father to show you." ”

"Good! Where is it? ”

"In Daddy's study, Daddy will take you to see it."

Li Jiuzhen took his father's hand and jumped up and down with him to the study.

........

Before dawn, more than 20 fellow villagers spontaneously escorted the students' ox carts to the county school, they held torches, and a junior walked in front with a lantern, and the lantern was written with the four big characters of 'Lushan School', which was particularly conspicuous in the night.

Today's exam will start at the beginning of the morning and end at noon, that is, from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., a full three hours.

The exam is relatively simple, the difficulty is only equivalent to the first question of the debate test, mainly to test the foundation of students, including the three Confucian classics of "The Book of Filial Piety", "Analects" and "Mencius", and it is also the calligraphy of the students.

However, considering that there will be various unexpected situations, only three of the four students will be selected, and the final overall score will be formed after being summarized with the results of the debate test.

Although the difficulty is not large, the grading criteria are very harsh, and a mistake or correction will affect the score, so students need to be careful and think twice before writing.

With the ringing of a bell, the exam began, and in the wide hall, thirty-two tables were placed, and thirty-two students from eight schools sat according to the case, each of them pondering and writing, and the hall was unusually quiet, only the rustle of the pen stroke.

Three old scholars patrol back and forth between the aisles as invigilators, and directly above the lobby sit state and county scholars.

These three Confucian classics in each school in the preparation for the students have been memorized countless times, everyone memorized well, as long as careful and cautious, see the questions clearly, basically can answer well, even "Mencius" memorized badly Wang Gui also wrote like flying, the answer is particularly smooth.

Time passed little by little, and there was still half an hour before the end of the exam, Li Yanqing was already doing the last question, and he looked at the question several times, which was to complete the default sentences on the chapter and sentence of Liang Huiwang in the first volume of "Mencius".

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment, then wrote in the blank space: 'A five-acre house is made of mulberry trees, and fifty people can be clothed; Chickens, guineas, dogs, and animals, if they don't lose their time, the seventy can eat meat; 100 acres of land, don't take it away, a family of eight can be hungry; The teaching of the order, the righteousness of filial piety, and the person who gives the confession does not live up to the road. The old man is clothed and eats meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings are not ........

Li Yanqing gently put down the pen, carefully dried the ink, and carefully checked it twice, and there was not a single word wrong, 'Dang! The third reminder bell rang, and Xuezheng Yao Wannian said loudly: "The last reminder, there is still a stick of incense time!" ’

Several students didn't grasp the time and began to anxiously fly to the pen, 'Oops! One student let out a low exclamation, obviously making a mistake in his busyness.

Li Yanqing waited for the ink to dry, then raised his hand, an old scholar smiled, stepped forward to take away his scroll, at this time, Yue Fei also raised his hand, he was about to hand in the scroll.
