Spring

In this year, a lot has happened in Nanzhan. For example, Yu Gui became the crown princess of Baili Li, and Wen Er became the crown prince, and now, she should be called Liangdi. For example, I have passed my marriage and am about to get married.

The ministers wrote one after another, asking the marriage between the north and the south to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and advising the Southern Emperor to choose for me and my relatives. However, due to a series of events that happened after the imperial examination, the marriage was postponed.

——

After the spring, in the name of the apricot list, Lin Zhou, a student of Shangshuyuan, won the championship.

I heard that this Lin Zhuangyuan was a child prodigy, he could read a thousand words at the age of three, could recite poetry at the age of seven, and became the youngest student in the world at the age of nine. And he is diligent and hardworking, obsessed with learning, and does not know hunger, thirst, cold and heat. It's amazing. The Southern Emperor admired this champion and intended to recruit him as a concubine, but the banquet ministers refused in every possible way, and they were unwilling in every way, so they had to give up.

I have seen this Lin Zhou in the palace, his facial features are ordinary, and his stature is not high, so he really can't talk about a talent. Compared with Little Grandpa Qin, it is really ...... There is no comparison. Therefore, it is reasonable that the banquet ministers are unwilling.

However, the most surprising thing is that Tao Ruo actually fell into Tanhua, and Qin Luoxue, who was on the scientific expedition with him, had no suspense about falling to Sun Mountain, and he was decadent for a long time, retreating and reflecting.

During the retreat, he also learned from Hao Fuzi to write a lot of acid poems.

However, the most sour thing thing about writing poems is not Qin Luoxue, but an old boy surnamed Wu Mingwang, who has failed several times, and is still participating in the scientific examination when he is young.

Qin Luoxue's scientific expedition is to test the water, after all, with his identity, he naturally doesn't have to worry about not having an official to do. But Wu Lao Tongsheng is different. Being an official, that's a lifelong dream.

At the beginning of the palace test, the "poetry case" born by this Wu Wangtong became a topic that people were happy to discuss after dinner.

Wu Tongsheng started the scientific examination at the age of twelve, and this time, he has fallen off the list for the eleventh time.

It's really frustrated and courageous, and the perseverance is amazing!

The reason why I know this is not because he has single-handedly subverted Nanzhan's national examination system.

The reason for this was that he wrote a poem.

What wine is not for fishing for honor, he made a comeback every year...... What's missing...... Green rolls make white clothes, Yangzhou ...... What the royal road. Oops, anyway, it probably means that if you can't do it this time, you won't be able to take the exam next time, but you will definitely be able to do it in the future.

I've never been able to understand literature and ink, and the articles he wrote are too substandard, and I don't bother to memorize them, I only remember these two sentences, or when Yu Gui was joking with me, she read it casually, and I wrote it down by the way.

Although I can't read the sour and rotten poems he wrote, it does not prevent others from being blind and discerning, and taking the opportunity to hype up his "masterpiece".

It's a pity that the hype is too big, and it's been fried in the end. Tens of thousands of people read it, not because of how well this poem is written, if it is well written, this boy will not be just a child after more than ten consecutive exams, even if he is extremely lucky, it should be his turn to step on the shit and get lucky.

However, according to my judgment as a non-professional, the reason why he failed to try again and again is not only because of his dull qualifications, but also because he did not choose a good name.

Wu Wang - hopeless! How can you still store expectations? If you want to be in the middle, it's obviously impossible. On the other hand, it should be that he has limited ability and insufficient qualifications, and he is really not the material for studying and becoming a scholar.

Of course, this is purely a personal opinion, and if there is a rebuttal, the refutation is invalid!

Despite this, Wu Wanglao Tongsheng still wants to declare to the world that it is not that he can't do it after repeated attempts, but that the world is hard, traitors are in charge, and it is not easy for poor students to survive. So, with a stroke of the pen, he wrote down his indignant accusations and disappointments.

Others say that his poem is full of officialdom.

Originally, it was okay for him to express his depression after falling off the list, but this poem vaguely expressed the unfairness of the scientific examination and the voices of thousands of poor students. It also alludes to the 'political struggle' between the two parties of the DPRK and China, Zhao and Meng, and pickets in large words, which makes the common people more and more hopeless in their careers.

So, when the list was released, this Wu Tongsheng, filled with indignation, wrote this poem on the wall of Guanhailou, attracting thousands of people to stop and comment.

I didn't hear the whole poem at first, and I always thought that he was planning for his upcoming twelfth scientific expedition. But then the matter got worse and worse, and I had to re-read this masterpiece.

I tried to read between the lines the depth of officialdom in his poems. In this way, I am still quite politically conscious, detached from low tastes.

As I still remember, his original poem is as follows-

Angry life

Lord Sells His Reputation and Honors,

You don't have to make a comeback.

Zhu Bi Qing Juan abandoned white clothes,

Yangzhou is better than stepping on the imperial city.

The spring hall tries to show the fish eye,

The market hooks the column and hides the pearl.

……

It was I who memorized the poem incorrectly and distorted the original meaning.

However, I still couldn't read which of his words was sarcastic. Am I being too stupid, or is he saying it too subtlely? Well, it must be the latter.

Soon after the release of the list, this poem spread wildly in Jiankang City. For a time, thousands of people chanted, competing to read, and people with hearts passed it to the heavens, so that it would not die into the ears of Nandi.

The Korean and Chinese parties took advantage of this to make a big fuss, saying that Wu Wang was dissatisfied with the imperial examination and despised the national system.

Long Yan was furious and immediately announced to him.

Wu Lao Tongsheng can be said to have become famous in one fell swoop!

According to reliable information revealed by the on-site insiders (Changji), the following conversation took place above the main hall at that time.

The Southern Emperor asked: "Since there is a pearl in the Goolan Tile House, why bother to be the fish eye in this spring palace test." You are so indifferent to fame and fortune, you have obviously reached the realm of goodness as water, so why bother to be included in the exam. If you don't want to make a comeback, why try the sea repeatedly! ”

Wu Wang was unhurried, calm, and knelt on the ground: "Being far away from the rivers and lakes, if you want to serve your family and country, you don't have enough spare energy." In the temple, it is better to have more than enough heart than to have a weak heart. The jade palace passed the gold list, and the king gave the head; The three hundred generations of heroes, attached to my Buyingzhou, the grass people have sought all their lives, but they also want to display their ambitions and seek well-being for the country and the people. And this holy place must go through the imperial examination, so the grass people have to be included in the examination. ”

Nandi laughed: "You want a holy land Yingzhou to display your ambitions? Didn't I give? It's indisputable, you can't reach this Yingzhou, who can you blame! ”

Wu Lao Tongsheng was also strong, and said indignantly: "If it weren't for the road to Yingzhou, the tiger and wolf blocked the way, how could the grass people not be able to arrive?"

The ministers sneered, but when they saw that the Southern Emperor was angry, they did not dare to do anything.

Nandi changed color at the moment, and shouted: "Then you should tell me, what is your so-called tiger wolf?"

"Buying an official mantle, the province is compiled, it is for the tiger; The party is the same as the other, and it is a wolf to take advantage of the false and deceitful. And this tiger wolf has always been entrenched around the real dragon. ”

The interior was as quiet as a mist, and the officials looked at each other.

Nandi closed his eyes and supported his forehead, but his angry face was slightly gloomy, which made people wonder what he wanted.

Wu Wang still didn't know how to restrain himself, and continued to pour: "A poor student has been studying hard for ten years, who doesn't want to show his real name on the gold list, and the Toad Palace will be accompanied by the holy driver." But how many people are full of enthusiasm, but they are forced by the world, and in the end their ambitions are difficult to pay, and they have no way to serve the country. Although the poems inscribed by the grass people are sharp, they are by no means made up. Not only to vent personal grievances, but also to complain about the injustices of the poor students in the world. ”

Nandi opened his eyes and was displeased: "Forced by the world? What kind of world are you forced by? You are so cynical, even if you let you enter the court, it is not too much, and it is not too much for officialdom to have a wine bag and rice bag, what great cause can be achieved. You ridicule first, justify later, and so exaggerate your own misdeeds of taking advantage of things, which is really stupid and ridiculous! ”

Seeing that Emperor Nan scolded him, the hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Wu Wang with even more disdain.

Wu Wang knelt down, buried his head deep in his arms, and trembled. After a long time, slowly look up.

He seemed to be hesitating about something, and after struggling for a while, he kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the road to the scholars has been manipulated and used by the gate lord clan, and the scientific research of the non-hairpin history book family is hopeless. Could it be that Your Majesty really doesn't know? ”

The more Wu Wang spoke, the more excited he became, and the more excited he became, the more he didn't choose to speak.

Nandi silently said, not to be sexual.

The king of Anyang suddenly stood up and pointed at Wu Wang and sneered: "Koi and loaches are both born on water and feed on mayflies. But the koi is noble in nature, and in the end it is to leap into a real dragon, and the loach is lowly, and it can only fall into the quagmire for the rest of its life, and be a loach for a lifetime. The loach is not a koi fish after all, so why complain about what it borrows. He has no talent and no virtue, but he accuses others of not giving him a chance. ”

Wu Wang calmly asked: "Your Majesty has been deceived for a long time, how can you look at the talents of others?" You are in trouble, a comprador official, and you despise the government. Just ask, how can my generation have a chance? ”

King Anyang refuted angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense, spewing people with blood."

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, the prince himself knows."

Tsk, how dare he say it.

Nanzhan has always been a party fight, especially the battle between the "two yang and one yong" is the most intense. Zhao Qi, King of Anyang, Meng Zhe, King of Qingyang, and Yu Shao, King of Yong. They are all kings of the opposite sex, and after the founding fathers, they have been kings for generations. It should have been a fiefdom, but for some reason, he has lived in Jiankang for many years.

Now it has become a three-legged family that occupies half of the country in Nanzhan. Hundreds of officials even stood in line, each looking for a good master, and fighting separately.

They are their own factions, controlling a corner of the court, and the forces they have cultivated for decades have become intertwined with the previous dynasty and are difficult to eradicate.

Seeing that the three kings were getting stronger and stronger, although the Southern Emperor wanted to make a difference, he was powerless, so he had to turn a blind eye.

And Eryang and Yong are the most powerful in King Yong Yu Shao. Otherwise, Nandi would not have chosen to marry Yong Wangfu. However, the most powerful fight is the two yangs - King Anyang and King Qingyang, the two have not dealt with each other since childhood, and they are tired of each other.

Now that Wu Wang has pierced this layer of window paper, he is undoubtedly arguing with the political giants...

King Anyang smiled gloomily.

…………

As for what happened later, Changji didn't plan to say it, and I naturally didn't get to the bottom of it, so I don't know very well. I only know that because of Wu Wang's incident, it alarmed the Yushitai.

The Southern Emperor gave Changji full authority to take charge of this matter, ordered him to go to the Imperial History Tower, and sent the Shaoqing of the Imperial History Mansion to assist him in finding out the matter.

Changji thus followed the vine and found out that many ministers in the DPRK and China were selling officials and lords. Kaifeng has been examining papers for nearly ten years, and sure enough, I found that there is fraud in the examination room every year, bribing the examiner and secretly changing the answer papers...... A series of secret doors.
