Chapter 102: If one plan fails, another plan will be reborn

Looking at the sky, it is estimated that it has reached the intersection of noon (now 11 o'clock), Zhu Youcheng did not dare to delay, and hurried back to the examination room with the exam papers.

The soldier on guard didn't dare to stop again, joking, even the examiner dared to scold the fierce man, who dared to provoke.

I can't help but say that Ruan Dacheng has a bad character, but he really has two brushes in the exam. Zhu Youcheng asked him for tutoring before the exam and tried to make a set of test papers, which turned out to be a little similar to today's questions. With the review a few days ago, Zhu Youcheng wrote a flowery article with a little hesitation, and it seems that the dispute just now did not affect his feelings for the exam at all.

Sun Shenxing sent someone to see it a few times, and copied a few sentences and brought it to Wang Tu for reference, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became.

Wang Tu sighed: "I didn't expect that there were also champions among the eunuchs. Originally, I thought that our Donglin Party occupied all the world's energy, and among the world's scholars, Donglin did not have nine buckets, but also eight buckets. Now it seems that it is indeed a bit of a well-watching. ”

Sun Shenxing looked at it for a long time, and then sighed, and said: "Everyone says that Wen is like a person, why does this sentence not work when it is put on Zhu Youcheng's body?" ”

"Yes, although I haven't seen the full text, but just looking at these few sentences, I feel a surge of vitality rushing to my face, non-strange men can't use words and sentences to such a subtle point, non-great husbands can't write such majestic articles."

"If he wasn't the grandson of Wei Lao Gelding, the old man really wanted to give him a boost, but unfortunately, the more talented this kind of person is, the more unfavorable it is to Daming. The old man has always been above board, but this time he has to do something unsightly. ”

Sun Shenxing said eloquently, as if the matter they discussed yesterday was very familiar.

Wang Tu persuaded: "Brother Sun, stop it, I have an ominous premonition." This Zhu Youcheng seems to be the moldy star of our Donglin Party, and every time he meets him, there will be no good thing. Like Lord Gao Panlong, Lord Zuo Guangdou, Lord Wang Wenyan, Lord Yang Lianyang, none of them are well-known figures, but they all suffered a big loss in the hands of Zhu Youcheng, those who were killed were killed, and those who were degraded were degraded. I heard that a few months ago, Zhu Youcheng demolished the Zongren Mansion that made the children of the Zhu family change their color, didn't there be nothing? We can't fight him. ”

Sun Shenxing took out a knife, and Wang Tu exclaimed: "What are you doing, do you want to take out the knife and go directly?" Save it, Zhu Youcheng is Wu Jieyuan, you can't fight him. ”

Sun Shenxing said angrily: "Whoever said I was going to slaughter him, I was going to cut off relations with you!" My grandson doesn't have a friend as timid as you. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a knife and slashed it on the cushion. I don't know what kind of knife was used to cut the mat in history, and what kind of mat was cut, anyway, Sun Shenxing cut it for a long time, and he didn't cut the mat, but just made a mess of a good mat.

Wang Tu kindly persuaded him a few words, but he was so blamed by him, and his dissatisfaction can be imagined. He also said angrily: "Okay, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge." Don't worry, after the accident, I will take good care of your wife and daughter. ”

Sun Shenxing was furious, and couldn't help but stab Wang Tu with a knife, and after restraining for a long time, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Wang Tu, you shameless old horseman, I have long known that you are interesting to my concubine Bing'er, but I didn't expect you to admit it in public today." ”

Wang Tu knew that he was speechless, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he said in his heart: "I wiped it, why did I accidentally say what was in my heart." ”

He saw that Sun Shenxing's eyes were really terrifying, and he was worried that Sun Shenxing would not be able to restrain himself from giving himself a knife, so he walked out and said, "Sun Shenxing, it's okay if you don't recognize me as a friend, but I won't disown you as a friend." At that time, the matter will be exposed, the fraud in the science field will destroy the nine clans, and the daughters of your family will also go to the Jiaofang Division. I would like to take care of your boy, but I will have to have someone alive to take care of me. Therefore, I can only spend a lot of money to rescue Guibao's family from the Sect Division, and if you rescue one, it doesn't matter if you don't appreciate it, but don't take a knife at me. ”

Sun Shenxing suddenly remembered the shady scenes of officialdom, if Wang Tu was greedy for glory and wealth and went out to sue himself, then not only would his life be in danger, but also the plan to crack down on the eunuchs would also fail. So he immediately smiled all over his face, pulled Wang Tu into the room, and said, "You spare your life, why don't I spare my life?" That's the end of today's matter, I don't want to care about the affairs of the Donglin Party, and then I will judge the file fairly and justly. After waiting for Zhishi, let's go fishing by the river together, and don't ask about the world. ”

------------------

Zhu Youcheng naturally didn't know about the secret conversation between the two examiners in the examination booth, he was carefully checking his article to see if there was anything logical or unreasonable, but after checking for a long time, there was nothing that could be modified now, so he nodded, secretly proud, his article was really good.

After the inspection, he didn't dare to hand in the papers, because after the last township examination list, he went to visit the examiner Xu Honggang's house with gifts. Xu Honggang told him in the spirit of letting you know if he had done a good deed, and according to the regulations, he was not qualified to be promoted, because no matter which level of the exam, in order to prevent candidates from cheating, they had to hand in the answer sheet and draft paper. After hearing this, Zhu Youcheng was naturally grateful, and he finally understood an unspoken rule in the scientific examination, so he naturally would not make a mistake again in the examination.

Others have the easiest time transcribing articles, but Zhu Youcheng finds it most uncomfortable to revise drafts. Because of his years of study, his language skills are particularly strong, and the degree of going from the manuscript to the text presented on the paper is very fast, and what is even more rare is that there is basically nothing to revise in an article. Now it is torture to ask him to forcibly change the correct text into the wrong one.

Other people's grinding to revise drafts and revise typos and sentences, he is also slowly revising drafts, but he is writing orthography as other words, which is much slower than others. As a result, Zhu Youcheng did not hand in the first paper this time, which made King Xin rejoice several times - every time the tribute courtyard opened, King Xin pounced on him and shouted: "Brother Cheng - alas, no. ”

By the time he applied for the application in the afternoon, he had finally finished correcting the draft and handed it in.

Zhu Youzhen's enthusiasm to greet his brother had run out, and when he saw him come out, he had to say lightly: "Brother Cheng, you finally came out." ”

------------------

In the examination room, Xu Siyue was copying Zhu Youcheng's article, shaking his head while copying, as if he was savoring the good words and sentences in the article. He was lucky, he didn't see the official next to him who copied the articles of other candidates, and while copying, his mouth was broken: "Where did this come from, the article is not making sense, and such an article is still copied from him, so it is better to just dethrone it." ”

Originally, the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict, in order to prevent cheating through the back door and collusion in the main examination, so the system of vague names was adopted, and later in order to prevent the examiner from taking people by words, it was stipulated that the examiner did not directly look at the candidate's test papers, and was uniformly copied by a special person with a red pen. The copied examination paper is called the Zhu Juan, and the examiner only reviews the Zhu Juan, so as to ensure the fairness and justice of the imperial examination to the greatest extent.

Sun Shenxing paced next to Xu Siyue and pretended to encourage: "Secretary Xu, the handwriting is good." You can say that you have mastered the fate of the examinee -- your good handwriting is most appreciated by the official, so the Zhu scroll you copied is the most likely to be selected. ”

Xu Siyue is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites from Jiupin, so Sun Shenxing calls him so.

As he spoke, he gently knocked on the red scroll that Xu Siyue had copied, and said, "The words of this test paper are ordinary, but when you look at your words, how can you really look at it and make people like it." ”

Xu Siyue was praised by the leader, and he was excited, and he copied more carefully. He didn't notice that Sun Shenxing left a faint fingerprint where he knocked, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look carefully.

And after he finished copying, Zhu Youcheng's already named-known test paper disappeared inexplicably, and it was not until half a day later that he didn't know it, and returned to his original position unconsciously, which made Xu Siyue break out in a cold sweat - losing the candidate's test paper is a felony of killing the head.

------------------

In the next two exams, Zhu Youcheng's quilt was not taken away, but no one sent him for dinner - even if it was delivered, he didn't dare to eat it, God knows if there was a high-grade seasoning called sweat medicine in it.

Since there is a quilt, Zhu Youcheng still falls asleep as soon as he enters the examination room, anyway, with his younger brother taking care of him, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get out of bed.

Every time the drum of the bell and drum tower sounded and the test paper was released, Zhu Youzhen set off firecrackers outside the Gongyuan to wake up Zhu Youcheng. After the guards of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were "persuaded by reason" by Zhu Youzhen, they no longer came to scratch, so that King Xin couldn't convince people with reason again, and he felt a little empty of dragon slaying skills.

Seeing that the previous conspiracy was discovered, Sun Shenxing and Wang Tu seemed to have changed their ways, stopped playing tricks, and acted honestly according to the established procedures, without creating new trouble for Zhu Youcheng.

However, although there was no interference from the two examiners, Zhu Youcheng was not the first to hand in the paper every time, because the problem of the draft was still his biggest headache. No way, since you live in this system, you have to act according to certain rules, there is no absolute freedom in the world, unless you have the ability to change this system.
