In the large and small examinations of the national dynasty, in fact, only the provincial urban and rural examination and the Beijing teacher examination are the most formal, more strict, serious, rigorous, and severe, and there is the least room for human operation, and it is relatively the most fair.

However, other examinations, including the academy examination for the selection of talents and the imperial examination for the Zuihou pass hall, are all very arbitrary and human examinations, and these exams may have a different appearance if the examiner is replaced.

For example, in this Chun'an County annual examination, there was a special situation of Fang Yingwu. After the list was released, a few bold students who were not convinced took the risk to meet Lord Shen, the inspector of the main exam, and questioned the results of the third-class ranking of the other party.

Shen Xun replied very officially: "The country's selection of talents is to seek talents, and the party should be meritorious to the country, and it should not be left out, and it should be recommended to enter the autumn festival." ”

Fang Yingwu learned and confirmed the list from the mouths of two friends, and after being puzzled, he put aside his doubts and looked up and said, "I'll go to the county school to have a look." ”

In the past, it was claimed that if you want to study behind closed doors, you will almost make an oath, and now you have to run to the county school, which is really a big contrast. Xiang Chengxian couldn't help but sneer: "What about your ambition to study hard behind closed doors for three years? What about the discipline of learning nothing and not entering the county school? ”

Fang Yingwu didn't have the heart to joke with Xiang Chengxian, and continued to walk out of the gate and walked towards the county school. He has something in his chest, enough to use in this era, but he still has to continue studying just to pass the exam, after all, this is an irresistible rule, and if you want to strive for the top, you have to follow the rules of the game. But if you can pass the exam, then why do you need to study?

Below the list, the crowd that watched the list has long since dispersed, but the list is still hanging on the wall. Fang Yingwu looked at it carefully, and indeed saw his name in the third-class column.

At this time. There was an errand officer next to him, and the other party responded: "Fang Xianggong, please borrow!" Shen Xun has an order, if you appear. will take you to the procuratorate for a make-up exam. ”

It just so happened that Fang Yingwu also wanted to meet the Lord of the Imperial History. Originally, the system of patrolling the imperial history was very strict, and when it came to the place, it was generally not open to accept worship, otherwise it would be a matter of falling into the handle. But at this time, the official work of inspecting the place has been completed, and there is a name for the make-up examination, so it is not strange for the patrol to see people occasionally.

Therefore, when Fang Yingwu was in trouble a few days ago, even if there were countless doubts in his heart or he wanted to turn things around with his incorruptible tongue, it was impossible. Because he can't see the imperial history at all, he is useless for heroes.

didn't mention it, but said that Fang Yingwu was taken to the temporary procuratorate. Without any twists and turns, I went in and saw Shen Xunpress. In other words, Shen Xun's affairs in Chun'an County are the only ones left.

After Fang Yingwu saluted, Shen Xun didn't say a word, first took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Fang Yingwu, and signaled Fang Yingwu to read the letter before anything else.

Fang Yingwu was confused, but he knew that the answer was in the letter, so he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.

It's a letter with little nutrition, and it's lackluster throughout. It's just a haha that says "the weather in the capital has been good recently".

The biggest value on the entire letterhead is only the signature, Fang Yingwu stared at the words "Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar Liu" on the signature position for a long time, and suddenly half of the questions were solved.

And the meaning of the epistle is not only the epistle itself, but also the person who can carry the personal letter on his behalf. Nature is also a reliable person. It can be interpreted as: the sender tells the recipient in this way that the patrol with the letter in front of him is his own person.

Fang Yingwu woke up like a dream, it turned out that this Shen Xun was not Wan Shoufu's cronies. It's Liu Mian's little brother! His attitude towards himself should be relatively positive! And he was over-brained from the beginning. Thinking is mired in a misunderstanding

Shen Xun spoke first: "A few days ago, before the annual examination, the county Xuemeng Jiao applied to this official. This year's annual examination in Guixian County was led by the official, and the official was happy to accept it at that time. But I didn't expect that when I took the roll call, I realized that you had given up the exam, as if you still had a little misunderstanding, which is really embarrassing. ”

Fang Yingwu slandered in his heart, who made you pretend to be mysterious and not show your head after you arrived in Chun'an, otherwise how could it cause this kind of misunderstanding?

Shen Xunzhi continued: "At that time, when the official heard the rumors, he was puzzled, and the investigation of traitors was a visit, and the investigation of talents for the country was also a visit, and when the situation was unclear, there should be different opinions. But why are the rumors of the past few days one-sided, thinking that this official wants to be unfavorable to you? ”

Fang Yingwu was speechless, who can blame the rumors like this? But when it comes down closely, it seems that he himself has a lot of responsibility.

When the patrol first arrived, the magistrate was worried that there would be a problem with the county school. In order to help the magistrate control the public opinion of the county, he walked the news and said, "This patrol press is the man of Wan Shoufu, and he is the opponent of Shang Xianggong, and whoever cooperates with him is the public enemy of Chun'an County."

Therefore, it was he who personally misled everyone, causing everyone to follow the idea of not dealing with Fang Daxiu. Naturally, the rumors are becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Fang Yingwu didn't want to complain about Shen Xun, and he didn't want to expose his shortcomings in front of outsiders, so he had to smile bitterly: "How can adults visit me for no reason, how can I not be frightened." ”

Shen Xun smiled dumbly, "Why don't you think about the benefits, and think that this official wants to rectify you?" How inferior do you have to be that you imagine that others will harm you? ”

I, self-esteem, inferiority? Fang Yingwu was stunned, since the crossing, there are many people who say that he is arrogant, but it is the first time that he has low self-esteem.

This Lord Shen's sense of superiority is too strong, right? Do you really think it's giving favors to yourself? I have Hanlin Dad, the governor's grandfather, and the former first assistant teacher, so I can use him to put on a charity shelf?

It is estimated that it is because after Lord Shen became the patrol of the imperial history, he was high everywhere he went, who did not respect the Qin Cha of the Heavenly Patrol Hunt? So the mentality is a little inflated, and human nature is also.

Fang Yingwu replied: "Zi is not a fish, he knows the joy of fish, and he knows his own affairs." Among them, adults are expensive, and naturally they don't understand the worries of our generation. ”

His words were a bit hidden, and he secretly accused "You Shen Qincha don't have back pain when you stand and talk".

Shen Xun didn't understand Fang Yingwu's words, and he didn't expect that Fang Yingwu didn't have the consciousness of groveling in front of him at all, and he didn't know how to interface for a while.

After a while, he said: "It's not that this official wants to investigate your deeds. This is Liu Gelao's order, and the official is in his spare time. It's a good idea. ”

Fang Ying was surprised, "What is the reason for this?" ”

Shen Xun replied: "Elder Liu Ge said. Some people look one way at home, but another way outside, and the contrast between these two performances can tell a person's character.

What you look like outside, Liu Ge Lao has seen it with his own eyes, but what you look like at home, he has not seen it, so he entrusted this official to visit and report it. ”

Analyze a person's character by comparing being away from home with being at home? Fang Yingwu felt a deep pain in the egg, this Liu Mian's thinking is always so difficult to describe in words.

Liu Gelao's theory is combined with practical behavior. Fang Yingwu can only express understanding. This kind of thing happened to Liu Mian, who worked in calculations, and it couldn't be more normal.

As for the deeper reason, that is, Liu Ge Lao Weishenme wanted to investigate Fang Yingwu in depth, Shen Xunji was not very clear. But after he went to Chun'an to inquire about the situation, and after seeing Fang Yingwu with his own eyes, he suddenly understood a little bit just now.

Fang Yingwu himself even understood, when he was in the capital, he faintly guessed between his words that Liu Ge Lao had some intentions to recruit him as his son-in-law, but there was no need to break it.

At that time, I only felt that this kind of thing was mostly impulsive. There will be no consequences. But now it seems that Liu Mian is still planning to play really?! Otherwise, what would you do to investigate his character inside and out?

Shen Xun remembered something, and said again: "And Liu Ge Lao also said that everything must be said to you." After the visit is completed, I can tell you frankly, and I am not afraid to let you know. ”

Fang Yingwu completely lost his temper at all. Liu Ge dared to tell him frankly that it was because of an old pragmatist's understanding of a small pragmatist, and he knew that he would definitely not be displeased with it.

Seeing that Shen Xun was so honest behind him. Fang Yingwu didn't want to make a fuss, so he gave Shen Xun a step down. "There is Lord Lao Shen, Liu Ge did not specify anything in the letter, presumably it was to let Lord Shen pass the word, is that so?"

Not only did he give the steps, but he also secretly clicked Shen Xun, it was Liu Mian who wanted to talk to me, you were the errand in the middle, so you figured out your identity first!

Speaking of Liu Ge, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he understood that this person in front of him might become the east bed of the Liu family, and Shen Xun was a little shorter when he pressed the shelf.

"This year, the prince of the East Palace will go out of the cabinet to study, and in the next few years, he will not only invite famous teachers, but also recruit some young handsome people who are not far from each other to study. Liu Ge Lao has high hopes for you, telling you not to waste time, if the next time the capital can be on the emperor's list, there may not be no opportunity to worship the East Palace! ”

East Palace? Fang Yingwu was very surprised, he didn't expect Liu Mian's words to focus on this, he hadn't thought of these before.

But who doesn't want to go to the East Palace? Who doesn't want to be able to cultivate a relationship with the prince justifiably? This is a shortcut to the south, and when the prince ascends the throne, he will be able to pick up a dragon for nothing, and he will be the new son of heaven's own person in the court in the future.

But the closer to the imperial power, the higher the requirements for academic qualifications, if you are not from Hanlin, you are embarrassed to greet others, at least you must be a second-class jinshi.

Naturally, there is a set of official positions by the prince's side, such as the Zhan Shifang Bureau, but the flow of this kind of official position is similar to that of Hanlin, and it is even often transferred back and forth.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu shook his head helplessly, this Liu Mian thought too highly of himself. Finding a young companion for the prince to study has only been in the past few years, and after a few years, there is no need.

Don't think about being an emperor, but if you want to have the qualifications to enter the East Palace as a companion, you must be on the list in the township examination next year and the next year's meeting examination, otherwise you will miss the opportunity.

But this difficulty coefficient is not ordinary, and no one dares to say that they will definitely win, that is, Shang Xianggong, an expert in the exam, will take the test again, but I am afraid that I will not be sure that I will win the two rankings in a row. Seriously, it's a fluke to be able to make two lists in ten years.

Okay, this can be regarded as Liu Mian drawing a big cake for himself, whether he can eat it or not is another matter.

But to let a dignified inspector work part-time as a messenger according to the imperial history, there must be something practical? Fang Yingwu complained a few words, and then asked, "What else did Liu Ge Lao explain?" ”

Shen Xun pressed: "In addition, Liu Ge Lao specially emphasized that the Zhejiang Township Test is extremely difficult, so you must work hard and not slack off." (To be continued......)
