Chapter 263: From Prosperity to Decline
This time, he went to Beijing to take the exam with enthusiasm and confidence.
is the so-called scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan.
The fledgling Ye Nanxing is naturally fearless, and he doesn't know what the word forbearance is.
Now that the imperial examination is imminent, the capital has gathered talents from all over the world.
Ye Nanxing is one of the leaders, and in the gathering again and again, whether it is poetry and songs, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is overwhelming, and he has subdued the talents who are rushing to take the exam again and again.
Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second.
Achieving such an achievement before the imperial examination, coupled with the compliments of countless talents, made Ye Nanxing, who had just entered the society, sharp, unrestrained, arrogant, and arrogant, and thought that the national number one this time was none other than me, and inevitably raised a trace of pride.
Ye Nanxing's posture was seen by the emperor in a private interview before the imperial examination.
Or a coincidence, or the guidance of someone with a heart.
Seeing Ye Nanxing's sharp appearance, the emperor was slightly unhappy in his heart.
took the opportunity to talk to Ye Nanxing to try, but Ye Nanxing did not realize the identity of the person in front of him, and naturally there were not too many reservations between the words.
The emperor, who had some prejudices against Ye Nanxing, was even more furious in his heart after hearing his merciless words, although he took care of his face, he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but just brushed his sleeves away.
However, after returning to the palace, the more the emperor thought about it, the more he disliked Ye Nanxing, and under the guidance of someone with a heart, he directly found an excuse and eliminated Ye Nanxing's qualification to participate in the imperial examination.
After Ye Nanxing received the news, the whole person was stupid.
More than ten years of hard study, countless days and nights looking forward to the future, now it is empty.
The amazing talent in the heart can't be stretched, the shocking ambition in the chest can't be displayed, and the depression in the chest and abdomen is piled up in it, and it is difficult to disperse............
At this time, in the pouring rain, a lavishly decorated carriage stopped on the side of the road.
A voice full of banter sounded: "Tsk, isn't this our Nanxing talent, why are you standing here?" Could it be that he is already poor and has no money to take a bath, or does he want to take this opportunity to understand a peerless poem about heavy rain? ”
"Haha, the world's number one talent is really extraordinary, this kind of soup chicken looks so different............"
The carriage showed mocking smiles from several scholars.
Not far away, there were also several scholars and talented people who looked at the figures in the heavy rain and sighed: "Hey, Brother Nanxing is talented and has a ditch in his chest, but it's a pity that he has committed the taboo of the heavenly family, and he has been strictly forbidden to conduct scientific examinations, and I am afraid that there is no hope of gaining fame in this life!" ”
"Yes, the world makes people, who would have thought that Ye Nanxing, who was still subduing the world's talents yesterday, can not even participate in the imperial examination now."
“………………”
Those words of sighing, sympathy, and ridicule were like sharp blades, mercilessly inserted into Ye Nanxing's heart.
The pain in his heart almost made him unable to breathe, these people showed him a humble and flattering smile not long ago, and now seeing that he was hopeless in the imperial examination, the speed of his face turned was faster than he imagined, and it also made Ye Nanxing see the true meaning and ugliness of human nature for the first time in his life............
"Hehe, he's just a waste from now on, don't talk about him. Brother Haoran, with your strength, it is easy to win the position of champion, after the imperial examination system, this banquet is inevitable. A flattering voice sounded in the carriage.
"Haha, that's nature. After not using the imperial examination system, everyone will go to the largest restaurant in the capital for a while, and I will pay for all the consumption. ”
In the luxurious carriage, a handsome young man said with a laugh.
With ease, he should bear the compliments of the people in the same car, and his eyes were hidden at Ye Nanxing in the heavy rain, and a subtle sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
This person's name is Wang Zong, Wang Haoran, originally from the capital, his father is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, before Ye Nanxing entered Beijing, he had the title of the first genius in the capital.
However, after Ye Nanxing's arrival, the compliments and honors that originally belonged to him instantly ran to Ye Nanxing............
has been accustomed to seeing the darkness in officialdom since he was a child, and Wang Haoran naturally will not sit still.
He knew that the current saints had a habit of making private visits before each imperial examination, and he hated arrogant people very much, and he learned about it in advance through his father.
asked Ye Nanxing to drink a lot of wine, and guided the topic with words, and when the emperor arrived, he happened to see that scene............
"Hey, isn't that the frame of the Shui family?" Suddenly there was a sound of surprise next to him.
Wang Haoran couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this, the head of the Shui family was a second-class member of the dynasty, and his daughter was known as the first beauty in the capital, and the most important thing was that the Shui family and his father had never dealt with each other in the court............
Ye Nanxing, who was standing in the heavy rain, didn't notice the carriage coming slowly behind him, looking at the cloudy sky, the downpour falling from the sky, could it be that this heavy rain was for himself?
Is it for the injustice you have suffered?
Looking back on more than ten years of life, countless days and nights of working hard for the imperial examination, after not being able to participate in the imperial examination, countless people ridiculed and sarcastic.
After a long time, as if he wanted to open it, he let out a laugh: "Life is fluctuating for a hundred years, and it needs to be hearty for eternity." Let's go! The flowers on the branches can bloom for a few days, and the life in the world can be geometric. Sigh sigh! ”
Emotions of anger, sadness, and disappointment resounded on the most luxurious streets in the capital with Ye Nanxing's laughter.
Looking at the lonely figure in the heavy rain, countless onlookers couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in their hearts, putting aside everything else, in terms of study alone, Ye Nanxing won the first place in countless poetry meetings and academic discussions, which made them have to admire in their hearts, and he deserved the title of the first talent.
Wang Haoran looked at Ye Nanxing in the rain, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
After Ye Nanxing couldn't participate in the imperial examination, he didn't go to the well in person under his father's order, after all, after Ye Nanxing couldn't participate in the imperial examination, he was the most popular candidate for the champion, and he had to pay attention to the impact of every word and deed, and he must not lose a big one because of a small one, and in the future officialdom, he will leave people with the image of a mean villain.
After all, compared to Ye Nanxing, his future future is more important.
"Forget it, in the future, he and I must be people of two worlds, and we can't be officials, even if our talent is amazing, what can we do? In the end, it's just a small person............"
Thinking of this, Wang Haoran felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and he talked and laughed with the people around him.
