Chapter 344: Opening the Branch
The blue-robed official's face was gloomy, and he walked quickly to the front, his big hand forward, and he scooped up the note in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Liu Wenhai is too late to get it back.
"It's a good word!"
The blue-robed official looked at the neat, fly-head-sized fonts, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of amazement. But then there was a sneer of disdain:
"It's a pity that he is not right-minded, so learned, he is a person who catches the pen. β
"Strategy!"
"There's a whole strategy. β
"The evidence is conclusive!"
"Take it away!"
Liu Wenhai's face was pale, his mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh. Let the two soldiers remove the scarf from his head and drag it out like a dead dog.
"Isn't that Liu Wenhai?"
"Isn't he a genius?"
"How can someone drag it out like a dead dog?"
"What a genius!"
"I see that his previous poems were also ghostwritten, and he has real talent and learning, how can he cheat?"
"Yes!"
"If you have real skills, how can you be entrained. It must be that there is no faith in the heart, and that is the case. β
Liu Wenhai is also a little famous in Beijun, so when the other Confucian scholars saw that his documents were taken and dragged out like dead dogs, their faces suddenly became strange.
Two or three, or three or five, gathered in groups, whispering and talking.
"A man who deceives the world and steals fame!"
"We are ashamed to be with you!"
The Confucian students, who were usually good friends with Liu Wenhai, showed shame on their faces, and those who were more impatient even tore up the robes on their bodies and threw them in front of Liu Wenhai, who was as paralyzed as a dead dog.
Cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness!
One of them took the lead, and the other Confucian scholars who knew him well also cut their robes. Under the witness of everyone, he broke off relations with Liu Wenhai.
"Why is this happening?"
Liu Wenhai's eyes were sluggish and slumped on the ground, and his mouth kept trembling.
I have the heart to explain, but no one will believe him even if he falls into the lotus.
Liu Wenhai finally understood what it meant to be speechless, and in the end he could only turn into a faint sigh, his face full of bitterness.
Retribution!
Cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant!
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to calculate Situ's punishment and wanted Situ's punishment to be ruined, there would be no bitter consequences today.
Hate only hate, I was blinded by lard for a while, and I actually wanted to ruin the reputation of others.
Thinking of this, Liu Wenhai got up from the ground, as if drunk, and stumbled out.
"Retribution!"
"There is really retribution!"
γγγ
When the time comes, close the dragon gate!
The green-robed official looked at the time, and after obtaining the approval of the great Confucians, he said loudly.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Several armoured soldiers shouted loudly.
They put the long weapon in their hands on the ground, clasped the door with both hands, and exerted all their strength, only to see the tall and heavy dragon gate slowly closing in the eyes of countless people.
"Wait!"
"Wait!"
"I haven't entered yet!"
A boy in a green coat with a dusty face looked at the slowly closing gate, his face couldn't help but change greatly, he didn't care about the salute package, leaned forward and ran towards the dragon gate a little crazy.
"Wait a minute!"
The soldier who was closing the door subconsciously glanced at the blue-robed official and asked him to call the shots.
The blue-robed official looked up at the sweaty and anxious Confucian student, and there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
At this moment, a melodious bell rang from the courtyard, and a grand voice resounded in the air.
Open the Bachelor's Office!
The blue-robed official's face couldn't help but change slightly, and the warm color in his eyes all receded, becoming as hard as Xuan Bing.
"The imperial examination has begun!"
"Close the dragon gate, from this time on, no one is allowed to go out or enter!"
"Those who dare to attack the dragon gate will be killed!"
"Close the door!"
"Your Excellency!"
The two soldiers looked at the Confucian who seemed to be fished out of the water, and couldn't say anything, and a trace of sympathy couldn't help but rise in their eyes, and they said with some embarrassment.
"The time has come, close the dragon gate, this is the holy will, do you want to disobey the order?"
The blue-robed official's face suddenly became cold, his eyes slid over the faces of the two soldiers like sharp long knives, his palms pressed on the hilt of the knife, and his voice was full of murderous questions.
"No!"
"No!"
The soldier was only swept by the eyes of the blue-robed official, and he only felt a chill on his back, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and like a sheep targeted by a tiger and wolf, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy, and he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. The feet are like the roots of an old tree, the force starts from the feet, the arms are forced, and the whole body is exerted, and the huge dragon gate slowly closes at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the last trace of golden light between heaven and earth slowly disappears into invisibility.
Boom!
The huge gantry closes with a dull thud.
The golden light in the sky also disappeared, leaving only two tall, red-painted gates, indescribably cold.
At the moment when the dragon gate was closed, standing on the city wall, the soldiers at the dragon gate drew out their blades and looked around with alert faces, but if there was a stir, they would burst out with an amazing blow.
The people who watched around saw the soldiers' faces showing evil anger, and they couldn't help but retreat with palpitations, for fear of being misunderstood by the soldiers, for fear that the city gate would catch fire, and the pond fish would suffer.
"Wait!"
At the moment when the dragon gate was closed, the Confucian scholar was also sweating profusely, panting and running to the front of the dragon gate, shouting a little anxiously.
But what greeted him was not the golden light Wandao, but the two cold vermilion gates, as well as the hard-faced soldiers.
"How is this possible?"
"Why is this happening?"
The scholar looked at the closed door, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes showed disbelief. He stepped forward a little frantically and kept screaming loudly.
"Open the door!"
"Let me in!"
"I want to participate in the imperial examination!"
"Ten years of hard work is for today. β
"Scholar!"
"Let's go back!"
"The next imperial examination is coming!"
"Don't ram the dragon gate!"
The onlookers kindly stepped forward to comfort him.
Looking at the closed cold dragon gate, Confucius suddenly struck like a lightning strike, and the expression on his face was indescribably strange.
After a long time of standing in a daze, he seemed to react, rushing to the dragon gate like crazy, and kept beating with both hands. He struck with his shoulder, but the dragon gate was made of fine wood, and the outside was wrapped in iron sheets, how could he be shaken by a weak scholar?
"Scholar!"
"The hour has passed, the dragon gate is closed!"
"Next time!"
A large, thick, calloused hand suddenly reached out. It was like an iron pillar blocking what seemed like a crazy move.
"Open the dragon gate!"
"I'm going in!"
"I am a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, a descendant of the saint Miao!"
"I'm a candidate for this course. β
"I want to participate in the imperial examination!"
"I want to be on the double list!"
The scholar looked at the official in the green robe, a glimmer of hope suddenly burned in his eyes, and he said with an anxious and pleading face.
"Your Excellency!"
"Please!"
"My wife is still waiting for me to go to high school. β
"I must participate in the imperial examination!"
"Next time!"
Looking at the Confucian who seemed to be crazy and kept screaming, the eyes of the blue-robed official showed a hint of sympathy. But it was his duty to guard the dragon gate. There is no room for soft-heartedness.
"The hour has passed, and the dragon gate has closed!"
"Let's come back next time for the imperial examination. β
"Your Excellency!"
"You can't do that!"
"The next imperial examination will be three years away. β
"I can't afford to wait!"
The scholar looked at the blue-robed official with a frightened face, and pleaded with a face.
"Your Excellency!"
"Please!"
"Late life knelt down for you!"
Confucian looked at the blue-robed official with a pale face, and his legs were bent and he was about to kneel.
The blue-robed official's face changed slightly, and he dodged. But his lips were pursed tightly, and his face was full of determination, and it was clear that he was not shaken by the pleading of the Confucian scholars.
"Next time!"
The scholar looked at the resolute-faced official with a pale face, and the tightly closed dragon gate, as if the spirit of his whole body had been drained, and he left the tribute courtyard like a walking corpse.
"It's a pity!"
"This Confucian student can only participate in the Spring Festival three years later. β
"It's also his fault!"
"Why didn't you come early?"
The people around looked at the Confucian with sympathy on their faces, but they also knew that the opening and closing time of the dragon gate was determined by the king of people, and no one could or dared to change it.
Not to mention that the blue-robed official is just a petty official who does not enter the stream, even if he is dressed in red and purple, he does not dare to risk the world's greatness, and he does not violate the law to open the dragon gate of the Gongyuan without permission.
The Confucian scholar couldn't look at the salute on the ground, and slapped himself a few times in annoyance, his already somewhat pale face looked particularly hideous.
He finally turned his head, took a deep look at the dragon gate, and stumbled off into the distance as if drunk.
Everyone who watched was sad.
Even the blue-robed official's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, but when he thought of the law of the imperial court, his heart quickly hardened.
About half an hour later, someone stumbled over, looking panicked.
"Oh no!"
"It's a big deal!"
"That Confucian threw himself into the river just now. β
"Hey!"
"It's a pity!"
"Why don't you think about it, you can take the test again in three years. β
"As long as there is real talent to learn, there will always be a day of high school. β
Both the soldiers and the onlookers sighed helplessly. No one thought that the Confucian student couldn't think about it for a while, and looked for a short view.
"I know that Confucian student. β
"He is a native of Guobei County, and his family is very poor. There are not only sick mothers, but also children waiting to be fed. β
In order to allow him to concentrate on his studies, his wife earned some pocket money by sewing and washing others. β
"Just some time ago, there was a sudden fire in the house, and everything was consumed. Because of the fright, the old mother whimpered for her life and gave up Huangquan. In order to arrange a funeral for his mother, he owed a loan shark. β
"If the time comes, he will pay his debts with his wife and children. β
"I wanted to become famous in this year's spring, who would have thought that he would end up in such a field. It's just a pity for my wife and children... β
Everyone sighed in their hearts when they listened to the story of Confucianism.
The eyes of the blue-robed official also showed embarrassment and sympathy, but they soon became cold again.
"The law of the land is the law of the land!"
"Rules are rules!"
