In the imperial study, the emperor closed his eyes and recuperated.

Yesterday afternoon, he heard some rumors from Zhao Taibao.

Zhao Taibao said it objectively.

He praised Wen Ciqiu's article, and said that after the rumors spread, he also asked people to turn over last year's Wen Ci's answer sheet and check the scriptures, which was also excellent.

If such a volume is not nominated, it can only be that there are too many people who are better than him, and they will squeeze him down.

Obviously, in the autumn, there are not so many people crowded on Wen Ci's head.

As for leaking questions, Jiang Hanlin is not the first year to be the main examiner of the autumn exam, and the auxiliary officials are all experienced, so there is no reason to do such a foolish thing.

The emperor let out an "oh" in his heart.

He wasn't surprised.

Huo Yixiao was right, it was strange that no one was moved by the wind at such a good time.

Isn't this the first wind, blowing?

From questioning Wen Ci, to questioning Qiu Xu, to questioning Chun Xu, questioning Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao who were in the Ministry of Rites a few months ago, this set of steps, the emperor can understand it if you think about it casually.

Just now, Zhao Taibao came again to report on the situation of the candidates' settlement and the preparations for the spring festival.

At the same time, another piece of news was mentioned.

Xishan Academy will hold a tea party in Bao'an Yuan tomorrow, which should be the most grand before the spring exam this year.

The emperor laughed when he heard this.

Although he didn't know whose idea it was, the Ding'an Hou Mansion must have made some efforts.

Bao'an Yuan held a tea party, without the approval of Shuntianfu, can it be done?

Just do what he says, Wen Zifu took great pains for his son.

The emperor told Zhao Taibao that in order to stabilize the mood of the candidates, it was necessary to figure out the reasons for the rumors.

Tea parties are a good thing, if there are talents, remember to pay attention.

And the emperor is waiting for the wind to blow harder.

You have to wait for those people to jump out, otherwise, he will clean up and become unknown.

Heyꓹ Obviously an emperor ꓹ But he can't do what he wants, and even if he cleans up some people, he has to lay an ambush.

It was his two sons who made him most angry.

Zhu Mao and Zhu Yu refused to go to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government one after another, although the reason was good, but how could the emperor not see it?

clearly knew that something was going to happen, and avoided them one by one.

What are they heading for the Shen family......

The emperor called Gonggong Wu: "Ming'er, you go out of the palace to listen to the book meeting, I think there must be many people who are interested." I can't go and regret it. ”

Gonggong Wu responded: "The little one has not left the palace for many years, and Emperor Xie gave this opportunity." ”

The emperor snorted: "When you are not on duty, you would rather wait on the side than rest more." ”

Gonggong Wu smiled.

Since it is out of the palace, Gonggong Wu made some preparations.

His hair was combed and shiny, his beard was glued, and he was dressed in a half-new robe.

Rao is someone who knows him has seen it, and he has to take a closer look to see through his identity.

When Gonggong Wu arrived, there were already many candidates gathered in Bao'an Garden.

Wen Ci was among them, together with Huo Yixuan and others.

Some candidates whispered about him, but he didn't pay attention to it, and the son, who was familiar with Huo Yixuan and others and came to greet him, naturally did not embarrass Wen in person.

When the monkey is shown to so many people, there is no need for this.

Besides, after the tea party begins, it is clear what the situation is.

Huo Yixuan exchanged a few polite words with others, turned his head and asked Wen Ci: "What are you looking at?" ”

Wen Ci said: "Looking for my mother and sister, they said they were coming. ”

As he was talking, Wen Ci saw several people on the high platform.

Cao Shi looked at him for a moment, and his three younger sisters, all dressed in men's clothes, saw him look over, and they all clenched their fists to cheer him up.

Wen Ci bent his eyes and smiled.

On the middle stage, Chief Fu Shan, Mr. Du Lao and several other mountain chiefs stepped forward together.

Chief Fu Shan personally announced the rules of the tea party.

Students who are willing to participate line up, and several colleges will first come up with questions, and each question will be drummed and passed on once, and the strategy will be discussed five times, and whoever will answer the flower balls in their hands.

It doesn't matter if you get a flower ball but don't have an idea.

Give it to you, and take his place by the one who comes after him.

After answering, if anyone else wants to answer, come forward.

Cao Shi became nervous, and whispered to Wen Hui to be honest and not to get excited, and when the competition started, she didn't care about staring at Wen Hui anymore, and was engrossed in the stands.

The blindfolded drummer pounded and beat, and each stroke seemed to fall on Cao's heart.

Three times in a row, each time it did not fall into the hands of Wen Ci, and the Cao family regretted it for a while.

"It's not always my brother's turn, right?" Wen Hui whispered and Wen Yan bit her ears.

Wen Yan said: "No, it's really not my turn, I can come forward to answer the questions, and besides, there will be random questions from the students present." ”

Even, let someone answer by name.

Those who question Wen Ci will surely ask.

This is a normal exchange, a discussion, a discipline, and a question and answer, and will not be reluctant to give up face.

It was also due to luck that Mr. Du of Xiangju Academy made a decision, and in the third round of drumming, the flower ball arrived in Wen Ci's hands.

In an instant, countless eyes converged on Wen Ci's body.

Huo Yixuan patted him on the shoulder: "Answer well." ”

This question is not simple, but during the New Year, when they were talking about a question, they discussed it in a divergent manner, and the ideas at that time were refined and used to answer, which was very appropriate.

He knew that Wen Ci would be taken special care of today, especially when he was free to ask questions, one after another would fly over, so now such a relatively familiar question is used to warm up Wen Ci, which is just right.

Wen Ci walked to the stage.

Salute with the mountain chiefs, salute with the other gentlemen on the high platform, and salute with the scholars in the audience.

Gonggong Wu touched his fake beard and secretly bowed his head.

In the end, it is the son of the Hou Mansion, this move is generous and decent, and it looks like that.

As soon as Wen Ci spoke, Gonggong Wu was pleasantly surprised.

The words are clear, although he is a person from the old capital, he does not have an old capital accent, and the official language is very standard.

The voice is so clear that you can hear it even on a high platform.

Moreover, it is in the chest.

Dictating on stage is still a little different from writing a strategic essay on paper.

The imperial court examination is three days, giving candidates enough time to think, draft, polish, and finally take out the finished product.

As long as you can explain the argument clearly and analyze it clearly, you will be qualified, and if you can enrich it a little more, and show the rules of the writing of the strategy, it will be excellent.

Wen Ci is obviously the best batch.

The logic is clear, and the exit is in chapters.

The audience was silent.

waited until Wen Ci finished speaking, Huo Yixuan took the lead, and Huo Yixuan and Huo Yicheng applauded.

Excellent is excellent, and the candidates can understand it and applaud it.

Wen Hui slapped both palms red, and suddenly heard someone on the side say, "This is prepared", "This happens to be a student of Xiangju Academy", "I see", she glared angrily.

Wen Yan turned her head around and comforted: "Let them go, and when the competition is over, they will know." ”

It is not surprising that some have questioned.

Even if it is not the question of Xiangju Academy, in the end, it cannot silence some people with ulterior motives.

The real test is when the candidate asks the question.

Surviving that round is victory.
