Chapter 139: Unexpected
Tang Shunzhi said that the two lists of Jinshi are all hometown wishes!
Townspeople, thieves of Lourdes! To put it bluntly, it is to follow the rules, that is, the officials protect each other, and the favor is greater than the law!
The imperial examination, like all examinations, is not fair at all, except for a few geniuses and lucky people, a considerable number of people have deep backgrounds, intricate relationships, to paraphrase the views of later generations, that is, "circles"!
For example, many talented students will sharpen their heads and visit the predecessors of officialdom, one is to make a name for themselves, and the other is to let the other party know their style and words, if you arrive at the field, it happens that the other party is the main examiner, and has read your article, it is very likely to identify your work from a bunch of articles, congratulations, the possibility of winning is greatly improved.
Of course, there are even more powerful ones, just like this thin piece of paper in front of Tang Yi, which weighs more than a thousand catties!
Psychology has been developed for decades, and the north and south of the river are full of Yangming children, especially in the southeast, which is the base camp of psychology. There is nothing better than the imperial examination to expand the academic discourse, in recent years, there is a voice in the southeast, called Xinyangming, the middle imperial examination! In fact, as this slogan says, more and more heart scholars have emerged, overcoming obstacles all the way, and winning the Toad Palace.
Of course, it is not excluded that the mind is wise and selects excellent students, but proper operation is also inevitable.
For example, the note in front of you, this is not a keyword, but the sentence usage preferred by the principal and deputy examiners of the township test.
The township examination was held in August, and in order to ensure fairness, the examiner was temporarily appointed by the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty was vast, and it would take several months to travel from south to north, so although it was a temporary assignment, the local government could also preemptively check the examiner.
After figuring out the style of writing, some "key sentences" will be studied by the masters of scientific research. Distribute to the relevant scholars, no matter what the test topic, these sentences can be set and used.
Some people have to ask, after the examiner sees it, will he do the opposite. The more you please me, the less I will take you! Of course, there may be such a second stunned, but the end is usually miserable. And those examiners who are obedient to the people are a period of time after the exam, and they suddenly rose one step higher and became the upstart of the court "inadvertently".
So there is no such thing as an impeccable program, only unlimited imagination!
Although this method may not be able to take all of them, it is much more clever than cheat sheets, entrainment, and keywords. If you don't see a trace, even if you want to investigate. I can't even get the handle.
And the key sentence sent by Tang Shunzhi is even more amazing, the operator behind the scenes is the quiet Xu Ge Lao, in recent years, many people have been planted in the hands of Yan Dang, and they urgently need to replenish blood.
Nanzhili is a large province for the imperial examination, and starting from Nanzhili can ensure that a large number of mental faces will appear in next year's examination.
Obviously, this is a thing that is of great benefit to the development of psychology, but Tang Shunzhi disagrees, in his heart. The way of a gentleman is always the most important, if it weren't for Tang Xiucai's special situation. He would never use such a means of conscience!
"The teacher's grace is like a mountain, and the disciple really doesn't know what to say!" Tang Yi let out a long sigh, suddenly raised his head, and locked his eyes on his father, Tang Xiucai was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said, "The county government still has official business." I'm going to deal with it! ”
"Slow!" Tang Yi grabbed his father and smiled: "Dad, from today, no, it's from now on." Everything you have to do is to take care of the child, and the only thing you have to do is to pick up all the four books and five classics and prepare for the examination room! ”
"Can I say no?"
"Yes, but after the township test!" Tang Yi smiled like a little devil, and Tang Xiucai shuddered with fright.
In the following days, Tang Xiucai finally realized what hell mode was.
He only slept for one hour a day, replaced his three meals with tonic such as bird's nest ginseng, and even washed and changed his clothes with the help of his subordinates, his tasks were only two, open his eyes to read, close his eyes to endorse, and constantly write silently in his hands, multitasking, it simply drove people crazy!
Fortunately, Tang Xiucai has a good foundation, and after ten days of assault, he was stunned.
The next time is endless composition, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, Tang Yi specially invited Zhao Wen to come over and help correct the eight shares, Tang Xiucai is like an alarm clock on the clockwork, ringing non-stop, not a moment free.
After endorsing and eating in the early days, he began to chirp to solve the problem, and for an hour, he held something that looked like a cluster of flowers and sent it to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Daju glanced at it twice, and gave Tang Xiucai two words: "Shit!" There was not a word more, Tang Xiucai hid his face and fled, so he could only go back and revise it himself, it took a lot of effort, and he didn't know how to revise it, and in the afternoon, another question was sent.
In this way, endlessly, incessantly bombing, Tang Xiucai felt that he was about to explode.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and found Zhao Wen angrily, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu doesn't take the imperial examination, so he doesn't bully people like this! As soon as he was halfway there, he saw Tang Yi knocking on Erlang's leg and sitting at the door of the wing, blocking his way.
"Dad, do you want to give up?"
Tang Xiucai didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the child, so he could only go back, but three or four times in a row, Tang Xiucai simply broke the jar and broke it.
"Yi'er, I'll tell you the truth, I'd rather lead the troops to the battlefield than take the Laoshizi Township Test!"
After Tang Yi listened, he was unusually calm, and Tang Xiucai only thought he understood.
"Yi'er, you are too sensible!" Tang Xiucai was so moved that he almost cried.
"Dad, there are more sensible children!" As soon as Tang Yi turned around, the two family members moved out the bright step armor. Tang Yi stood next to the armor and said with a slight smile: "The child doesn't stop you from being a hero, but you can't stop the child either!" ”
Tang Xiucai stood on the spot, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, he pointed at Tang Yi, and said angrily: "Count you kid ruthless!" With a snort, he turned his head angrily, and could only return to the study and continue to work hard.
Not to mention, just relying on the confusion behind closed doors, Tang Xiucai's eight-strand essay can be read somewhat, Zhao Wen's evaluation gradually increased, and Tang Xiucai also seemed to have opened up, the more he wrote, the more smooth he became, and sometimes he could even do five acceptable articles a day.
In fact, Tang Yi asked Zhao Wen privately, why didn't he explain it carefully to his father, and broke Jingyi and crumpled it, Zhao Wen just said a word, and Tang Yi had no words.
"What can your father read in a month and a half?" Zhao Wen said with a smile: "I asked him to write an essay, but I just asked him to write a similar essay at the specified time, and when he arrived in the examination room, he would win if he could write a complete one!" ”
Tang Xiucai, who was holding the article over, heard it and fell down directly, which hurt his self-esteem too much.
But no matter how injured he was, he had to survive, and for a whole month, Tang Xiucai wrote more than 300 articles, his hands were trained into chicken paws, and he wrote more than a dozen bald brushes, and when he heard the words eight strands, he vomited.
When the last article was delivered to Zhao Wen's hands, after reading it, Zhao Wen smiled unprecedentedly.
"Although Brother Tang's article is not outstanding, but I can't find fault with it, whether you can win it or not, it depends on the examiner's meaning, and you can do a lot of things in the next place, say goodbye!"
Tang Yi thanked him and sent Zhao Wen away. He prepared the carriage, and the two of them left the sandbar with clothes and books. Just out of the city, there were many people gathered on both sides of the road, although Tang Xiucai was not in the sandbank for a few days, but after all, he defeated the Japanese and saved everyone. Next, Tang Yi handled government affairs for his father, everything was taken care of in an orderly manner, and Shazhou quickly came out of the shadow of the widows, and everyone had an account in their hearts, full of gratitude to the Tang family father and son. When the carriage came, someone dared to shout: "Come on, my lord, we support you!" ”
In an instant, everyone's tense faces relaxed, and they shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, come on, come on!" ”
Someone even sent rice cakes and zongzi symbolizing "high school", which moved Tang Xiucai to tears, took a bite, and left a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. The people couldn't help cheering, Tang Xiucai was also excited, his blood was boiling, and he had the posture of not breaking Loulan's vow and not returning it.
When Tang Yi and his father rushed to Nanjing, the inns of all sizes were already full of readers, even the firewood houses were full of people, and the housing prices had risen more than ten times.
Of course, Tang Yi doesn't have to worry, he has a lot of properties, and he has already arranged a place to stay, a quiet small courtyard, only two miles away from the Tribute Courtyard.
In the past few days, it is rare that he has not forced his father again, but let him rest normally and adjust his physical and mental state, which is also the experience that Tang Yi has taken all the way, and finally his father is red and energetic again.
Carrying a basket, filled with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other applications, he resolutely walked into the vast sea of people and slowly flowed towards the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
Thousands of people, plus the relatives who sent them off, turned out to be even more spectacular than the college entrance examination, and the thought of going to go like this made Tang Yi's scalp tingle!
Finally seeing his father enter the tribute courtyard, Tang Yi retreated and wiped the sweat on his head. After more than a month, he was more tired than his father, he lost more than a dozen pounds, and he didn't look like a child.
Quickly found a restaurant, asked for a big pot of mutton, pasted autumn fat, and made up for it, and then returned to his residence to sleep, and when he woke up again, he saw Shen Lin walking back and forth in the house, anxious.
"Something?"
"Hey, young master, you can be considered awake, Lord Tang sent someone over and asked you to see him."
"Teacher!" Tang Yi's face couldn't help but sink, and he complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”
"Young master, you haven't slept well for a long time, how can you bear to disturb you!"
Tang Yi didn't say anything, but quickly changed his clothes, and this time Tang Shunzhi did not meet him in the military department, but in the mansion. Entering Tang Shunzhi's study, a strange atmosphere surprised Tang Yi very much. Tang Shunzhi, who has always been light and breezy, actually held his head, his face full of guilt.
"Okay, I'm afraid I'll hurt you and your father as a teacher!"
Tang Yi's body shook, and bad thoughts came to his heart, "It can't be that piece of paper that something happened, right?" (To be continued.) )
