In fact, it's not just those lifters, but people will have that kind of idea in their hearts, Yang Shen is excellent, in fact, they also know in their hearts that with Yang Shen's talent, the first place in the Jinshi can't be faked at all.

But they don't want to believe it, and they are even more willing to talk about Yang Shen and Yang Tinghe, as competitors, this kind of slander is the most normal mentality, and those who do business are still looking forward to the death of a few peers.

Who said that scholars can't have this kind of thinking, they are more terrible than ordinary people's jealousy, and people with this kind of mentality are also terrible, they themselves do not try to catch up with others, but always think of ways to slander others, so as to obtain the perverted ideas in their hearts that are not enough for outsiders to say.

Zhang Xuan sat on the table, poured a pot of wine for Chen Yu, and then drank it.

Chen Yu could see Zhang Xuan's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "I was more prosperous than you in that imperial examination." ”

"What...... What do you mean? ”

"At that time, a few nights before the imperial examination, there was no day when I could sleep well, and I was panicked every day, afraid that I would fall behind." He smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to have this mentality, I had this mentality at that time, so I didn't do well in the exam." ”

Zhang Xuan was dizzy after hearing this, do you still call it not playing well? You have been the champion for 18 years, if you play well, how will others live?

"Heh, I didn't brag to you, I really didn't play well in the eighteen years of the imperial examination, although I was fortunate to be recognized by the teachers, but I was still not satisfied." Chen Yu said, "Chunfu is not as terrifying as you imagined, with your current talent, there is no problem in taking the Jinshi exam, I have read a few of your articles, and they are very well written, if you can play well, the problem of being a first-class is not big." I can't say anything to you now, so I'll tell you a little bit about my past experience. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he hurriedly got up and respectfully performed a scholarly salute.

Chen Yu hurriedly asked him to sit down, fortunately, no one around could not see it, otherwise if he was really gossiped, the consequences would be great, you don't know that Tang Bohu was a little suspicious in the exam, which led to the ruin of his entire career.

What Chen Yu said are some simple truths, such as the mentality of a normal mind during the exam, such as adequate sleep, such as eating on time, etc.

Although these seem to be inconspicuous, and it can even be said that there is no substantial help, what he gave Zhang Xuan is not these, but something that ordinary people can't give at all, and even more precious than the answer, this kind of thing is called confidence, which comes from the confidence given by the champion in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi!

What Zhang Xuan lacks most now is this!

He glanced at Chen Yu gratefully, and then said to Chen Yu firmly, "Teacher, thank you, the student can't repay it." ”

"Bingyong, since the day you blocked the road in Wenzhou Mansion, I began to appreciate you, if you are an official one day, you will have a good life to serve the Ming Dynasty, you are different from some old pedants, not as stubborn as them, you know how to be flexible, which is very rare in the Ming officialdom."

"Students remember what their teachers teach."

…………

On February 9th, the Spring Festival kicked off with its nine-day closed Spring Festival exams, and the weather in Beijing was unusually cold these days, which had to be said to be a physical and mental test for the lifters.

That is, because of this exam, many lifters have fallen into the problem of cold legs, but they don't care about these, compared to the Toad Palace, what is this hard calculation?

These days, not only the students are busy, Chen Yu and their marking officers are not idle, batch after batch of test papers from the examination room of the Ministry of Rites, they must be in accordance with the prescribed time limit, select the Ming Jinshi talents, after the preliminary reading, but also send to the vice president Fei Hong and the university scholar Liu Zhong for approval.

Since Yang Tinghe's son Shen also participated in the examination this year, Yang Tinghe only acted as the president in order to avoid suspicion, but did not let him do anything specifically.

If the imperial examination is something that Chen Yu can't forget in his life, then this marking is the same, which is even more difficult than taking the exam in person, thousands of test papers are required to be corrected within three days, which means that they have to correct the test papers day and night.

At the end of the day, my head was all dizzy, at first Chen Yu would carefully look at the following strategies and the like, but in the end, I couldn't stand it, so I had to look at the first four books and five classics, the first thing is to see the problem, if the problem is not qualified, I will directly cross it.

At this time, it can be seen why when he was conducting scientific research before, Tang Bohu told him how important the font was, and now he really feels it personally.

If the font looks irritating, then no matter how well the test paper is written, it will not get a good ranking.

Don't think that Chen Yu is irresponsible to do this, the entire Daming correction test paper is almost the same, once you can't complete the task within the specified time, you will be fined lightly, and you will be arrested and demoted!

The system is relieved, Chen Yu is not easy to change anything, he said before that for the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, his most helpless and powerless is this imperial examination system!

In the past three days, day and night, the test questions of the Zhengde six-year examination have finally been approved, and the reasons for hiring or not hiring must be written on each test paper, and then the transcription officer will continue to copy it, and then hand it over to the vice president and president.

After a few days, Chen Yu is about to collapse from exhaustion, he has not been out of the Ministry of Rites for more than half a month, the whole person is like being in prison, today he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, breathing the fresh air outside, quite a feeling of coming back to life!

When I returned to the house, I didn't say a word, I lay down and went to sleep, and I didn't eat dinner, and slept until noon on the second day.

When she woke up, Fang Xiaomei was dragging her chin, her eyes wide, and she looked at Chen Yu with a flutter.

Chen Yu smiled and hugged it into his arms, "There is a proposition in the first Jingyi this time that is quite intriguing. ”

"Oh? Is there something tricky and weird about the interception problem again? ”

"It's not, Zhengda understands, it's called March doesn't know the taste of meat." He looked at Fang Xiaomei seriously, but his squinting eyes had already leaked everything.

"Indecent!"

"I haven't known the taste of meat for a few days, come on!" A handful of them were brought into the bed, prostituting themselves during the day, the red teeth warmed the tent, so it was not romantic, the faces of the people in the tent were flushed, their eyes were blurred, and the scholars in the tent were sweating profusely, and they were dripping with joy!

It was already early March after the examination was completed, and the Ministry of Rites had counted the list of six-year jinshi, with more than 350 people, and Yang Shen was named the first in the examination, and the foreman made a pilgrimage to see His Majesty on March 15.

And Zhang Zhang's performance was not very good, but he also entered the top three, which can be regarded as stepping into the official career.

Although I can't get into Hanlin, I have to be a good thing to be admitted to Jinshi.

Gui Cao and Yang Yingkui, the lifter on the ship that day, also entered the top three and won the Dengke.

Since he had been busy with the imperial examination these days, Yang Tinghe had not yet rushed to discuss it with the ancestral training that he handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

The main reason is that Zhu Houzhao has never been to the court these days, and he has no chance.

But Chen Yu had to think of a countermeasure first, this was a tricky matter, and he had already summoned Fang Xianfu Gu Dingchen and others together in the matter.

He knew that when he gave Zhengde advice, Yang Tinghe would not agree with the plan, and he would definitely refute himself with the imperial historian.

However, Chen Yu did not let Fang Xianfu and others give Yang Tinghe a speech this time, but let them stand in a row with Yang Tinghe and others.

Fang Xianfu and the others didn't know what Chen Yu wanted to do for a while, but they still went back to write some articles and countermeasures first.

After they left, Mao Yu had already fed back the results of this year's inspection to the internal guards, and Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.

Fang Xiaomei was quite puzzled by Chen Yu's actions, and asked curiously: "Why do you want Fang Xianfu to echo Yang Tinghe?" Aren't you stuck in passivity? ”

Chen Yu smiled weirdly, "Hehe, it was originally passive, but as long as they refute, the situation will take a sharp turn immediately, you see, the Japanese and Korean meetings will definitely be very exciting, I will surprise Yang Tinghe!" ”

Fang Xiaomei knew that Chen Yu was selling Guanzi, although she was very curious, she didn't continue to ask, and then said: "Most of the results of Mao Yushi's inspection are related to Yang Tinghe, and Mao Yushi is your person, so if you do this, you will completely fall out with Yang Tinghe." ”

"Well, this point has also been taken into account, but if you don't do this, the previous bureau will be useless, and some officials on my side will not be able to control it, and Yang Tinghe is not targeting me in a day or two, so this matter must be done as planned!"
