In April, Shengze, the flowers and grass are green, and the Dongyang School Palace is full of students, and they study hard in the cold window, just to leave one on the list.

Zheng Xun and Chen Tong personally invigilated the exam, and the filial piety section examined the Confucian scriptures, which is also a classic that the children of all families must be familiar with. And what surprised the majority of Confucian students the most was that the question of this talent and science was shocking, entitled: Buddhism in the governance of the country.

There were many complaints in the Xuezhi Hall, some of them were difficult to write, some left angrily, and some even cried, and then they were dragged out of the hall by the soldiers. Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng, the two ghosts, usually can't say a word even if they have a knife on their necks, but this time they took shit luck, and their flattery finally paid off. It's a pity that these two people don't have a good memory, plus they are too excited, they forgot most of the things they carried last night, and they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, which really made people cry and laugh.

Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was obsessed with Buddhism and Buddhism, and this year's policy was set by him in an edict ordered by Situ Mansion. In the early days of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the government was stable, the program was always orderly, and Xiao Yan was deeply loved by the people as the king of a country.

But just like most emperors of the previous dynasties, they will always do some foolish things when they get older, Xiao Yan is no exception, he is obsessed with Buddhism to the point of madness, ignoring the government and politics, ignoring the famous students, followed by chaos in the government and politics, and the program is often corrupted, which happens to give the traitor and villain the opportunity to do evil.

The big exam was over in three days, and all the hard work of the cold family left, but He Jian was reluctant to leave, he went to find Lin again, begging to take him in, and he was embarrassed by Lin, He Jian cried and mourned: "Brother Xian, the foolish brother has no face to go home now, please take me in!" He Jian expected that this time he would be nameless on the list, and he didn't dare, and he didn't have the face to go back to his hometown, and the only way was to look forward to Xiang Lin to take him in.

"My brother has been away from home for more than a month, and my father and mother are lonely and have no one to take care of them, do you want to leave them alone?" Xiang Lin persuaded him to go home quickly to take care of his father. He Jian suddenly burst into tears, but he smiled in tears: "None.. It's okay, the parents at home are still ... And my brother takes care of it..."

Xiang Lin was surprised: "Brother Xian still has a brother? Why didn't I hear from you last time? He Jian wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is too worried, I was excited to see my son last time, and I forgot to mention that my foolish brother does have a relative. Brother, three out of thirty, is enough to take care of his father and mother. Xiang Lin saw that he was resolute and had nowhere to go, so he left him by his husband, Wang Chonghou.

When the school supervisor Zishan invited Lin into the room, the husband Wang Chongzheng picked up the pen and practiced, his face was solemn, and asked Lin Bai what was the matter, Wang Chong sighed for a long time before saying: "Xiang Lin, although the big exam has passed, but you have to behave well in the next time, Lord Assassin Shi and Lord County Commander are staring at it." ”

The big examination is only a part of the investigation, and the character and morality of the students and the inspection of the family line are also important factors in whether they can enter the official ranks, especially the inspection of the family lineage, which basically determines the official career and official fortune of Confucian students.

"Students follow the teachings." Xiang Lin asked again, "The husband has a solemn face, there must be something important." Wang Chong motioned for him to close the door and said, "How sure are you of the big exam?" Xiang Lin said: "Students are very sure. Xiang Lin not only studied the annals of poetry and books, but also had a lot of references to Buddhist classics, and before the big exam, he also collected a lot of relevant literature, and Chen Xiu was also curious to admire that he had the leisure to study this kind of books.

It can be said that he unintentionally inserted willows, but the willows are shady, and Xiang Lin never expected that this year's policy questions would be so biased, but because he dabbled in a wide range of topics and was familiar with the scriptures, he wrote it in one go, and he was free to fly.

Wang Chong was not only not happy when he heard this, but he became even more worried, pacing a few steps and said, "Do you know that the Zhongzheng official of the big exam is Lord Zheng of the Assassin Shi of Benzhou?" Xiang Lin Yan: "All the students know that the official of the university is Zheng Xun, the master of the assassination history, does the husband have an extraneous meaning?" Mr. Xiang Lin felt that Wang Chong's words were a little weird.

"It's come to this, if the old man hides it any longer, he will hurt you... Lord Zheng and Xianzun had a festival back then..."Wang Chong sighed again and again, and was shocked to Lin's heart, and hurriedly asked: "With. With my father? Got a holiday? Wang Chong then complained bitterly.

In the early years, Xu Zhao was too punctual in Huiji County, fulfilled his duties, tried his best, and ruled the people rich and peaceful, which won the appreciation of Chu Yan, the assassin of Dongyangzhou at that time. This Chu Yan is also a virtuous governor of a state, deeply loved by the people of the state and county, in view of his good governance of the state, hard work, the imperial court intends to promote him to Situ, Chu Yan also admonished the imperial court after he left office, Xu Zhao was promoted to the state assassin history.

Zheng Xun, who was the Taishou of Xin'an County in Dongyangzhou at the time, relied on the backers of the court and had many festivals with Chu Yan, who had many times to the court to condemn him, but it was all over, and Zheng Xun hated him even more after learning about it.

Zheng Xun thought that if Chu Yan left to take up the post of Situ, then his good days would come to an end, and then he had a trick and sent a secret letter to inform Liu Zhi, the then Situ master. Liu Zhizheng was worried about the difficulty of protecting his official position, and after receiving Zheng Xun's secret letter, he smiled, and immediately acted according to the plan.

Chu Yan was stopped by the imperial edict on the way to take office, and before he understood what was going on, he was put in a flail and locked up, escorted into Beijing, and dozens of punishments were exhausted, and finally he couldn't bear the extreme physical destruction, and committed suicide in prison by biting his tongue.

Zheng Xun killed Chu Yan with a poisonous trick and didn't give up, he pointed the finger at Xu Zhao again, as long as it was a celebrity around Chu Yan, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and now that he had knocked down the big tree of Chu Yan, it was even easier to eradicate Xu Zhao.

After Xu Zhao was shocked to hear that his mentor Chu Yan died tragically in prison, he felt that a catastrophe was coming, and he couldn't escape, and he didn't know what to do for a while. As he expected, the imperial court issued an edict to remove him from his post of taishou, and three generations of descendants were not allowed to be sealed with official positions. Xu Zhao has never mentioned these to Xiang Lin, he is unwilling and unbearable, Xiang Lin doesn't know that there is such a thing at all, he still thinks about the official position, the family business, and the lintel.

"How does the master know this?" Xiang Lin frowned, silently reciting the word 'father' in his mouth, sad and difficult to decorate. Wang Chong said guiltily: "Xianzun Ren is too punctual, and I am the superintendent of the post beside him..."Wang Chong paused and said: "After Xianzun was dismissed, the old man also went through hardships to become a doctor of the Five Classics, and then he was appointed as the head of the school palace..."

That night, Zheng Shijie mentioned Xiang Lin, Zheng Xun thought about such a knowledgeable man, so he attracted his attention, and later interrogated Wang Chong about Xiang Lin's life history, Wang Chong knew in his heart that he and Xu Zhao had a grudge, so he lied, Zheng Xun was not suspicious, and the family tree was not checked, he did not believe that Wang Chong had the courage to deceive him.

"The student is the second, but if the husband is implicated because of this, the student will be..."Xiang Lin blamed himself for guilt, and he couldn't bear to speak, Wang Chongyan: "This lie has been told, and now, you and the old man must be more cautious in their words and deeds, and never be careless." Xiang Lin really regretted trying to compete with Zheng Shijie for poetry and words, but that was also a last resort.

A few days later, the school palace announced the ranking of the big exam, and Xiang Lin won the first place without any suspense, and Zheng Shijie was second, followed by Wei Qian, Zhang Xiang and others. The vast majority of Confucian scholars are either blank on paper, or they are written in a way that doesn't match the horse's mouth, and the Confucian officials who are close to the court also shook their heads and sighed, crying and laughing.

"Childe! You're the number one! Ruolan ran into the room in a hurry, but Xiang Lin and Ziying were sullen, he told her everything, all she could do was to accompany him, and then Sanjiu and He Jian also came to the hall to congratulate each other with a smile.

Xiang Lin was not happy, he asked them all to retreat, only let Ziying accompany him, only Ziying was by his side, and his heart could be more steady.

Zheng Shijie was shocked and hated after seeing the list, he didn't expect Xiang Lin to be at the top of the list, but he was in second place, he couldn't swallow this breath, he rushed straight up with a hateful sneer, Zhang Xiang grinned and smiled, and saw Zheng Shijie go away with hatred, and hurriedly followed.
