"Tomorrow is the time for the exam, Brother Chen, Brother Xue, Brother Li are talented, and this subject will be able to win in one fell swoop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Upstairs in Chunhe, Chen Shaoyang, Xue Xuantai, Li Boyu and others gathered again, and a scholar raised his glass and said.

If you have a heart, you will find that at this time, there are many fewer scholars around Chen Shaoyang than before, and they can't be compared with Danfengmen before they knocked on the book, and even Du Fang, who had always been kind to them before, is gone.

"We have done such a big thing, and we have already offended the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, how dare we expect Jinke High School." Chen Shaoyang is still that free and easy appearance, and he doesn't seem to put his fame in his heart, but there is a trace of worry hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Although those poets and lyricists seem to have infinite scenery, and they are not allowed to gain the appreciation of Oiran and famous prostitutes for a penny, they will not be depressed in their hearts, if not, Liu Qi of the former dynasty will not leave the lonely words of "even if there are a thousand styles, who to talk to"; Famous scholars and great Confucians wrote books and were admired by tens of thousands of people, but the chapters they wrote were all expounding their own ways of governing the country.

"Then Yuan Rukui had already stated that he would not pursue us that day, could it be that he still wanted to go back on his word? Besides, it's not just Yuan Rukui's comrades in the court, Lu Shangshu, Hu Shenzheng and others can fight together, and what we did that day can be regarded as helping them, they should take care of us, right? Li Boyu asked hesitantly, although he was unparalleled in writing, he was not like wanting Liu Qi to be a white-clothed minister.

"Brother Xian, you have thought about this matter too simply, if it is a promise, how can Yuan Rukui get to this point?" Chen Shaoyang scoffed at this, the important ministers in the court did not step on countless people to climb up, Yuan Rukui also had to agree to them that day, it was inevitable that there was a mustard in his heart, standing in his position and wanting to retaliate against a few scholars was simply handy, "What's more, he may not have to use any tricks to take us down, as long as he checks the papers we are waiting for word by word, but if there are stains and offenses, they will be dethroned immediately, and we will have nothing to say at that time." ”

"Yes, what kind of talent is Brother Feiqing? The champion was almost in his hands, but he was caught by Yang Jiefu and immediately deposed in a place where he committed a crime. Xue Xuantai remembered his former friend Yuan Zhang, didn't he just fall for this hand and leave gloomily?

"Uncle bird, you are quick to think, don't be careless this time, you must check again and again after finishing the article, don't be caught by Yuan Rukui and his party." Chen Shaoyang looked at Li Boyu, the youngest among the crowd, and persuaded.

"And even Lu Chengqing won't be grateful to us, although we can be regarded as helping him, but after all, it violates the imperial court system, if the future scholars go to Danfeng Gate to beat the drum like us, how should the court deal with itself?" A scholar from an official family gave Chen Shaoyang an apologetic look, "I don't mean that Brother Chen did something wrong that day, it's just that it is too taboo at this time, and on this issue, Lu Chengqing and Yuan Rukui's positions are no different." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the exam will start tomorrow, and if you continue to talk about it, I won't dare to enter." Seeing everyone's solemn faces, Chen Shaoyang persuaded, "At this time, we are worthy of our hearts, if the princes of the court still have public hearts, they will definitely not treat us differently; And after all, the field is talking about articles, as long as the articles we are waiting for are written well, what can they do? ”

These words finally made everyone a little more cheerful, and the topic gradually shifted to the article and poetry, but the melancholy between their eyebrows never dissipated.

The next day, there were a sea of people outside the Tribute Academy, many scholars carried the examination basket and entered the Tribute Courtyard under the escort of relatives and friends, after careful search, Chen Shaoyang entered the Tribute Academy, and found his number room according to the instructions on the number plate, only to smell an unbearable stench when he arrived at the number room, and raised his eyes to see that the examiner actually arranged him next to the place of reincarnation of grains, which was also the worst position in the entire examination room.

Is this Yuan Rukui's revenge on me? Chen Shaoyang sneered in his heart, but the dignified captain used such a subordinate method, which was too petty; But he didn't have a way to deal with it after all, there was to be someone to sit in this room after all, but fortunately, he had already prepared, took out a few fragrant pills and stuffed them into his nostrils, and suddenly felt better.

Closing his eyes and reciting the sage classics silently, Chen Shaoyang gradually calmed down, and soon the exam officially began, Chen Shaoyang got the question and confidently answered it after a moment of confidentness, and before half of the exam time passed, his article had been completed.

Keeping in mind what he said yesterday, he did not rush to hand in the paper as before, but checked the omissions in the article word by word, corrected one or two words that might be offended, and after checking again and again to confirm that there were no problems, he copied the article to his examination paper in a pavilion style, and then quietly closed his eyes and recuperated.

His actions aroused the curiosity of the examiner, and after a while, someone walked up to him and looked at him, "Finished answering so quickly?" There was suspicion in his tone.

"The student's thinking is quite agile." Chen Shaoyang replied.

"Take out the items in the exam basket and take a look at them." The examiner's suspicion was not relaxed by his words, and he directly and unabashedly showed his distrust of Chen Shaoyang.

According to the rules of the Great Wei Imperial Examination, the examiner does have this kind of power, Chen Shaoyang endured his anger and handed over the examination basket, and rummaged through the examination basket according to the examiner.

Clothes, dry food, and spare pen and ink were almost turned over by the examiner, but still nothing was found, Chen Shaoyang couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Adults look slowly, don't miss anything." ”

"You're a bold one." The examiner couldn't help but look at him more, continued to rummage, and suddenly froze when his hand reached the bottom of the examination basket, and then slowly pulled out a booklet that was an inch square, with a smug smile on his face, "What is this?" ”

Chen Shaoyang's heart froze, he immediately recognized that this was the abbreviated copy of the scriptures that those who did not learn and did not know how to use when they participated in the scientific examination, this was not what he put in the examination basket, and even if it was to be searched and checked out by the gate of the Gongyuan, how could he be allowed to bring it here? Yuan Rukui actually did this!

"You dare to cheat in the exam, and now that the evidence is conclusive, you have what else to say!" The examiner shouted. (To be continued.) )
