Chapter 181: Slap in the face
Slap in the face, there is wood?
Zhao Zijian was originally only entangled in the question of choosing one or two, but when he heard the standard answer, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face.
After all, the way the other party looked at him made him want to dig a crack in the ground now.
If he had known that this was the case, he shouldn't have come forward just now!
"This is my brother? Are you still satisfied with this answer? Please leave if you are satisfied, if you are not satisfied......"
The other party paused, but Zhao Zijian raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, feeling very strange what would happen if he was not satisfied, the other party coughed lightly and smiled.
"If you're not satisfied, please leave. Students who are not taking the exam will not be accepted. ”
It's not that they didn't guess who the person in front of them was, but their current status prevented them from giving other answers.
Zhao Zijian almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood.
I was rejected? Rejected?
Zhongli outside couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, for someone like Zhao Zijian who has a hidden shaking M, he should be treated like this.
Wasn't it the same before?
The more he refused, the more Zhao Zijian thought he was good.
People seem to have a faint attribute of cheapness since they were born, and Zhao Zijian is naturally a leader.
Zhao Zijian didn't know Zhongli's evaluation of himself, if he knew, he would probably squirt out another mouthful of blood.
He stood there, stalked his neck, and snorted at them.
"I'm going to have to take an interview too."
"But you don't have a written test score, we can't violate the rules, please leave now, otherwise I will ask the academy people to come and drag this son away, presumably the son doesn't want to lose face, right?"
The other party was still shouting brother Tai at the beginning, and now he is called Gongzi, and anyone can feel the estrangement and close relationship here.
Zhongli stood outside and smiled, but squinted his eyes and turned his eyes to look at Song Shanchang, Mr. Wei and the others, and smiled very unkindly.
"I think the fourth prince is a guest, since he wants to take the exam, should we also show the friendship of the landlord?"
Zhao Zijian came out of it angrily, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded directly.
"Okay, I'll participate."
Although Zhao Zijian was a guest from afar, after all, he was the prince, and Song Shanchang was still counting on Zhao Zijian to go back to the academy and ask for another sum of money, so he nodded hurriedly and agreed, and arranged for Zhao Zijian to enter the latest exam.
Zhao Yiyan stood outside, watching Zhao Zijian enter the examination room with dignity in high spirits, and then noticed the weird smile on Zhongli's face, and couldn't help frowning.
"Be careful to play with fire!"
Zhongli smiled at Zhao Yiyan, his bright eyes were sparkling, and just one glance made Zhao Yiyan turn his head dryly, close his eyes, and try to calm the throbbing in his heart.
It's been three years, and Zhongli has lost the defenses he had back then, but he ...... to him It is becoming more and more inseparable.
Especially can't let him detect anything, otherwise it can only make the relationship between the two people worse and worse, and more and more tense.
"Big brother, don't worry, it's going to be fine. How can the fourth prince be the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines? It's better not to think too much. ”
Zhao Yiyan's face turned cold, and he frowned and stared at Zhongli's perfect smile.
"You know him well?"
The expression on Zhongli's face also turned cold, it was not a good word to know a prince very well, but fortunately, her current man's identity had not been suspected.
Her cheeks were a little rosy, she shook her head at Zhao Yiyan with a dry cough, and smiled dryly.
"Hehe, I don't know much either. It's just that people don't all say that the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly? So I think that as a prince, I should be much better than the prime minister, right? ”
Zhao Zijian nodded noncommittally.
It was still early, Song Shanchang invited them to a nearby pavilion for tea, and by the time Zhao Zijian came out of the examination room, he was already sweating profusely and his face was tangled.
When he saw Zhongli and them, Zhao Zijian clenched his fists tightly.
"Is that an exam? That's child's play! ”
The thing that Zhongli is most proud of is not that he has supported a family by himself, nor has he made the economic capacity of the entire border city change by leaps and bounds, but that he has united so many forces to establish this academy with his own ability.
Although she is not from this academy, who doesn't know the energy she expends in it?
He couldn't look down on the psychology of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", which shocked the atmosphere of the entire academy.
He didn't want Kong Yiji's matter to appear here, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by him here in Zhao Zijian!
Zhao Yiyan's eyes have been paying attention to Zhongli, and when he heard Zhao Zijian's words, he saw Zhongli's eyes narrowed, the corners of his lips hooked, and he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and his slender fingers picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all, with a touch of interest in his eyes.
It's because he thinks badly, how can Zhao Zijian get Zhongli's liking?
All of them are mice-eyed.
The reason why Zhao Zijian came here is nothing more than that a student of an academy was appreciated by the emperor last year, but he is different, there are more people who are from Rong, and there are also those who were recruited by him into the army, and there are also those who were recruited by him to be in the palace as staff.
If you don't come into contact, you don't know how terrible this group of people is.
Because they know almost everything, from the reform and operation of government affairs, to the repair of desks and benches, and the reform of farming methods, there is nothing they do not know.
It is precisely because of this group of flexible people that when they fight against the enemy, they are more likely to choose various teams to fight, etc., and the whole government affairs do not bother him too much, because they understand better than anyone what it means to be efficient.
Because it's like the explanation given to him by those people, only after they get one thing done quickly and efficiently, can they do another. They not only have to study in the academy, but also know how to make money to support themselves and how to make their lives better.
This is also a result of their competition with each other.
They were like the bugs that Zhongli had been talking about, and although he didn't understand them, it didn't prevent him from knowing the benefits of this group of people.
And when this group of people really occupied the entire court, he couldn't imagine what kind of changes they would bring.
But he chose to remain silent, one because Zhongli had no intention of controlling the government at all, and the other because he had been working hard for that incident back then.
"What's wrong? I don't know, what do you think of these test questions, Fourth Prince? ”
Zhao Zijian was angry at this time, and he didn't know that Zhongli had become cold because of this expression, so he spoke a little angrily.
"Views? What's the view? You look at the test questions, the first ones are fine, most of them are from the Four Books and Five Classics, but when you get to the back, what kind of questions are they? Xiao Mao's father has three children, one is called Da Lang, one is called Erlang, and what is the third called? There is also the question of what to buy and sell, and what else can be done in one hour. It's ......."
In particular, what made him unacceptable was that the scores of the next few questions were higher than the other.
Yes, it didn't clear to him either.
What is a hundred points, a question of a few points, etc., if you take the test generally, doesn't it all depend on the mood of the people above?
Zhongli sneered.
"How's it going? Just because the four princes don't know doesn't mean that everyone doesn't know, dare to ask the four princes, what is the name of Xiaomao's father's third child? ”
This question is very ten, and Zhao Zijian feels ridiculous precisely because of this.
"What else can you call it if it's called Saburo? A simple question can still be ten, do you dare to say that this test question is no problem? ”
Zhao Zijian spoke a little angrily.
Old Mr. Wei reached out and touched his beard, sighed helplessly at the mention of this, and shook his head gently.
"Lord Wang, will you read this question again?"
Like Zhao Zijian, he lost on this back then, who knew that Zhong Gongzi was digging a pit for them to jump.
Zhao Zijian snorted coldly and read the question again.
“…… Is the third one called Saburo? What else can that be called? ”
He also felt that something was wrong at this time, because everyone looked at his unfathomable eyes, coupled with the mocking arc of Zhongli's lips, his heart suddenly trembled.
"It's called Xiaomao?"
Zhongli couldn't help but arch his hand at him, and the sarcasm and mockery in his words were indescribable.
"The four princes are high."
Zhao Zijian was blocked, and the expression on his face changed again and again.
Zhao Yiyan was in a good mood next to him, thinking about what to eat tonight, after all, he was in a good mood today, should he celebrate?
Zhong Xingzhong also knew that it was not that Zhao Zijian was too stupid, but that he was too proud and conceited, and he also felt that he had come out of the country, how could the test papers here be difficult for him?
It's a pity that reality gave him a hard slap.
Zhao Zijian was a little unconvinced, and read out the next few big questions respectively, and several masters explained his doubts one by one.
Zhongli was the last to speak.
"People who only die reading are not suitable here. For example, if you are not a meticulous person or an arrogant person, how can you not know the answer to your first question? And most of them are going to enter the officialdom in the future, is it possible to break the case of confusion? And you said that there shouldn't be a problem of buying and selling, but shouldn't they know how to do business? How are taxes collected? Last but not least, you said that it is too difficult to do these three things in an hour, but you see, didn't Mr. just give the answer? Only efficient work will not have the problem of redundancy and redundancy. ”
Redundant officials?
Zhao Zijian's face couldn't help but change, this was not a matter of focusing on one of the previous points, but from the overall situation of the entire Apocalypse.
Who doesn't know the entire upper echelon, now with more and more rich people, there are more and more donors, as long as you give money, you can get a petty official to do, and then send some money to the top, and the petty official will slowly become a big official.
This......
