- Wang Yan's hand is very beautiful. Except for Li Xian, no one participated in this plan, and the danger of revealing the stuffing was minimized.

However, if people don't know, unless they do nothing, they still haven't hidden Wen Yanbo, who is far away in Luoyang. At first, Chen Ke thought that Wang Yan had Wen Yanbo's meticulous work by his side, but after thinking about Wang Yan's meticulous nature, he would never let the people around him know about it. And it is unlikely that Wen Yanbo will plant eyeliner next to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.

The eyeliner should still be by the emperor's side.

And what Wen Yanbo will do, I'm afraid Han Qi will do it too, because since Wen can detect it, there is no reason why Han Xianggong doesn't know......

When Chen Ke told Wang Yan about this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Chen Ke didn't say nonsense like 'I persuaded you at the beginning, this won't work', but said calmly: "Fortunately, you don't have a handle, it falls into their hands, and you don't worry that they will chew their tongues in front of the officials." So in this game, we still won, and we won it completely. ”

"Well...... Wang Yan nodded slowly and sighed: "But Han Xianggong knows......"

"It's come to this point, and they're not afraid to know it. Will they behave against us because we are beneficial? ”

"Also, the center is two in and two out, they must be stunned." Wang Yan's god only then improved, nodded and said: "Once you come to your senses, you will inevitably fight back fiercely." ”

"yes." Chen Ke said solemnly: "The official family promised that the crown prince would be appointed this year." The next step is to be endless. ”

"Who's afraid of whom." Wang Yan's face showed his usual arrogance and said, "Now we are no longer Wuxia Ameng!" ”

"Hehe......" Chen Ke also laughed, but his mood was by no means relaxed, he really didn't know if this ragtag army united by the New School Party, the opposition faction and the Jiayou Society could confront Zhao Zongshi's regular army.

I don't know when the fierce struggle will start, but the secret pavilion exam is imminent.

The six theories of the secret cabinet examination are the most critical part of the scientific examination. It is related to whether or not you can participate in the final Chongzheng Palace Imperial Examination, and it is also the most difficult part of the examination. First of all, the scope of the six essays of the cabinet examination is extremely wide. It is mainly based on the Nine Classics, the Classic Classics, and the True History, and the Seven Books of the Wujing, the Chinese Language, and the Sons. In addition to the main text, the group scriptures are also annotated.

This requires not only a wide range of knowledge. And be familiar with this knowledge; It is also required that the test taker has good arts and sciences in order to be able to pass. It is because people at the time thought that the six theories of the secret pavilion were the most difficult, and the pavilion test was called 'passing the pavilion'. The annoyance and difficulty of the pavilion test is the reason why there are very few Chinese-style people.

In order to deal with this non-scoped and all-encompassing troublesome pavilion test, the Su Shi brothers did not go to the official and concentrated on preparation.

Before the exam, each of the six examiners will give a question. Although Chen Ke is the same examiner, the lineup of examiners at this level is scary, and it is not his turn to ask questions.

Ouyang Xiu, the governor of the political affairs, published a treatise entitled "The King Does Not Rule Yidi". From "The Legend of the Autumn Ram" He Xiu's note;

The essay published by Wang Qi, the governor of the political affairs, is entitled "Drunk and Prepared for Ten Thousand Blessings", which is from the Book of Songs. Daya. Shengmin" Zheng Xuanjian;

The treatise by Wu Kui, the deputy privy councillor, is entitled "Propriety and Righteousness and Faith Are Enough to Become Virtuous", from the Analects. Zilu Chapter" Bao Xian Note;

The essay published by Yang Jin, a straight bachelor of Longtuge, is entitled "The Situation is Not as Good as Virtue", which is from "Historical Records. The Biography of Wu Qilie";

The prince of the kingdom in the history of the emperor. The title of the essay is "Etiquette is based on raising people", which is from the "Book of Han. Lile Zhi";

The title of the treatise published by Wang Anshi of the Zhizhi system is "Liu Kai Ding Hong Xian", which is from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The Biography of Ding Hong" and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of Liu Kai.

Among the six questions, there are three classics and three histories, three texts and three annotations. And the requirements are extremely strict. In order to be called 'pass', the test taker must point out the source of the topic and quote the context of the topic in its entirety. Those who do not know the source of the topic cannot be regarded as 'general', and those who know the source without quoting the context are not allowed to be 'general', but can only be regarded as 'coarse'. All six essays must be at least 3,000 words, so at least 18,000 words, and they must be completed in one day and one night.

Although the 50 test takers were able to complete it in the end, many of them were quick and hasty.

The scroll was collected, the scribe transcribed the name, and then transferred it to Chen Ke...... Because he is only a preliminary examiner, all the papers have to pass through his hands, and those who have more than six treatises and four links are selected and presented to the six examiners. Then six examiners will evaluate the grade, and those who are above the four links are divided into five classes, and the fourth class is divided into upper and lower classes, according to the convention, the first and second classes are not set, the third class is excellent, and the fourth class and above are eligible to participate in the imperial examination.

It is said that Chen Ke has no power, because 'through', 'rough', and 'unpassable' are all obvious, if he is mistaken, it will be light to be impeached by the imperial history, and the image of Confucianism that he has worked so hard to erect will also be ruined, and he will not tolerate half a mistake.

But that doesn't mean he can't influence admissions. In fact, Chen Ke adopted a clever tactic that ultimately made everyone he wanted to protect pass the test smoothly.

What Chen Ke wanted to protect was naturally the same year as his Jiayou Society, and he was also very familiar with the articles of these people, so although he didn't know the joints, he could still recognize a few of the same year's volumes.

Among them, Er Su and Zeng Gong are not worried, the articles of the Tang and Song Dynasty can't pass the pavilion, it's really a big joke in the world.

What he wants to protect is Shiro, Lin Xi and Lu Huiqing.

He adopted a roundabout tactic, pressing the volumes of Er Su and Zeng Gong at the end first. Put a few 'sloppy' test papers on the top, Shiro's papers in the middle, and a few more 'sloppy' papers below. In this way, the six examiners eliminated the previous test papers one by one, and after seeing Shiro's neat article, he felt that the writing was not bad, because a lot of them had been eliminated, and the latter seemed to be unsightly, so Shiro's chances of being selected naturally increased greatly.

Lin Xi and Lu Huiqing's were also concocted in the same way, because the excellent volumes, such as Ersu and Zeng Gong's, were pressed last, so the three people who were highlighted by Chen Ke were unexpectedly 'passed the cabinet'. When they saw the last few papers, even though the examiners sighed at the high level of these papers, they would not change the original results.

Because this is a joint reading of the six people, whoever wants to overturn the previous results is equivalent to denying the eyes of the other five, and even Wang Anshi will not do this kind of offending thing.

In the end, the result came out, a total of fifteen people passed the cabinet, including Shilang, Lin Xi and Lu Huiqing, and naturally Ersu and Zeng Gong would not be buried. In addition to the six of them, there is also Deng Xuan. Half of the people who passed through the cabinet were from the Jiayou Society, and since then, the name of the Jiayou Society has once again resounded in the government and the opposition.

Every other day is the imperial examination of the Chongzheng Palace, and early in the morning, the official personally presided over and made a decision. This time, Zhao Zhen seemed to want to say something, and a strategy was a few hundred words. The vast majority of it is his observation of the country's ills:

'I have been since the reign of the Great Unification...... Virtue has not arrived, teaching has not been done, there are still many governments, and there is no harmony. Although the fields are clear, the people are bored. Although the border is secure, troops cannot be withdrawn. The profit has been dredged, and the floating fee is widespread. The army is redundant but not trained, and the officials are redundant but not clear. The order of the Xuan is more exciting, and the ritual music is not possessed; It is rare to seal the customs, and the festival of the scholar is to let ...... The incumbent does not care about education, and those who govern the people are mostly bound by grammar. There are many prohibitions, and the people do not know how to avoid them. The narrative is lenient and indiscriminate, and the officials are not afraid. There are many people who are tired, and there are many people who sigh. Since the beginning of the year, the number of disasters has been ......"

has almost talked about the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, and if it is written on another occasion, it will be a guilty edict.

Only then did he ask 'Doctor Zi' to show his intentions and not mourn the aftermath. ’

It's nothing short of masochistic.

Sima Guang, the detailed official who recorded the policy topic, was sweating profusely when he heard it, but he didn't dare to receive the order after the recording: "Your Majesty thinks twice, after this policy topic is released, the world will be in an uproar!" ”

"What's the problem?" Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

"It's a hindrance." Sima Guang was much more relaxed than when he first accompanied the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Sage Yun, the parents who are all in the world, and by extension, all the kings. Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the ministers. His Majesty is the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and there can be no mistakes for the monarch, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable and evil thoughts will flourish! ”

"Junshi, you're too angry." The relationship between Zhao Zhen and Sima Guang is obviously getting closer and closer, and he actually commensurate with the words: "The evils of the world are there, even if people don't say it, can I, the emperor of forty years, get out of it?" If you don't take this opportunity to talk about it, you will let the world think that I Zhao Zhen is hiding his ears and stealing the bell, and he is stupid......"

said with a faint smile and said: "Didn't you hear the saying 'the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the hero'?" The widow is going to blow a strong wind and swing the ship, so that he can find a few strong grasses for my Great Song Dynasty and meet a few heroes! ”

"Your Majesty, since you know everything, why don't you brace the heavens and rectify the pain?" Sima Guang has deeply realized that this emperor, who seems to be weak and weak, actually has great wisdom.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a long time, Fang lowered his head and sighed: "The widow has almost died twice, and his body is not as good as before. If the widow does it himself...... If there is a change in his body halfway, it will be difficult for even the new monarch to continue in the future. What the widow can do is to lay a good foundation and clear the obstacles for the new monarch. Junshi, do you understand? ”

These words are full of liver and guts, and they are heart-wrenching. Sima Guang couldn't help but burst into tears, sobbing: "The ministers understand, they all understand......"

"So the widow has to let the heroes think, otherwise they are hiding, how can I do it?" Zhao Zhen's eyes, which have always been soft, rarely reveal a cold light at this moment: "Look at this imperial test, I don't know how many good shows have been staged!" ”

Although it was already April, Sima Guang still felt a deep chill through his body......

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
