On the morning of the second day, the crowd gathered outside the Yulong Mansion Academy, and although it was not yet time to release the list, more than a thousand people had already gathered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Ming was crowded in the crowd, slightly apprehensive in his heart, not knowing if he could be named on the gold list, and whether he would win the top talent.

With a "squeak", the gate of the literary academy opened, and the civil official Zhang Bang walked out under the escort of the soldiers and posted the gold list on the bulletin board.

Everyone looked at the first place in unison, and immediately saw a familiar name - Lu Ming!

After the name, there are three "A" characters, indicating the subject score of the three imperial examinations, and "A" is the highest evaluation of the article.

On the right, there are four golden words written "The First Name Maocai", which is particularly conspicuous, and there is also Xue Ruzun's comment under it, which is full of praise for Lu Ming's article, and his article has been included in the Holy Courtyard.

Daru hand-picked!

"The head name Maocai is really Lu Zhenguo!"

"What are you talking about? Is it really Lu Ming who has taken the top name of our Liang country, Maocai? What a blockbuster! I heard that he only participated in the imperial examination this year, and he almost won the first case, but I didn't expect that he became Maocai in one breath in the government examination!"

"With Lu Zhenguo's current reputation, if you can't compete for Maocai, it will be a strange thing!"

"That's right!"

Lu Ming heard the discussion of the crowd in front of him, and directly squeezed to the front of the gold list in one breath, looked up and looked up, and suddenly his face was happy.

"I won the bet with Yan Weiqing!Lin Xiaoyan doesn't have to marry that disciple!", Lu Ming thought to himself.

However, most readers looked disappointed, "Hey...... I really didn't make the list, am I not suitable for studying?"

"Oops, I actually fell off the list again, I've been preparing for a year, failure, what a failure!"

"Look, that's my name!

"I'm in, I'm in, I'm in high school!"

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to all high schools, you will be a scribe in the future!"

There were people in the crowd who cried, people laughed, and everyone's emotions were different.

Lu Ming looked back at those who fell off the list, and shook his head helplessly, a government only accepts fifty people, this is a very cruel fact, and no one can control it.

Subsequently, Zhou Dongyue walked out of the Academy of Literature, followed by the prefect of Ji and some scribes, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a loud voice: "Please invite those who are named on the gold list to enter the temple of the Academy of Literature to worship, and get the empowerment of talent to improve the literary position." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, a scholar came to the front of the Academy and showed documents to prove his identity.

Lu Ming walked to the front, Zhou Dongyue recognized him, and immediately smiled: "Congratulations to Lu Zhenguo for winning the first Maocai, it just so happens that Zhou Mou is the east tonight, and he invited a few officials and scholars, I wonder if Lu Zhenguo can participate?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but Xiaosheng is not free tonight. Lu Ming politely refused.

At this time, everyone looked at Lu Ming with different eyes, "He is the famous Lu Zhenguo!

"Not humble or arrogant, magnificent, good reader's temperament!"

"I can't imagine that the poet of Zhenguo is so young, and he will become a great weapon in the future!"

Ji Zhifu snorted coldly, but his eyes looking at Lu Ming were extremely cold, and he was still worried about Ji Xian's affairs.

"Lu Zhenguo, please go to the side room to change into scribe clothes, and then go to the temple to worship together. ”

"Yes. ”

Lu Ming bowed his hand slightly, and then entered the Academy of Literature, and under the leadership of the scribe, he went to the side room and changed into a newly issued light blue scribe's uniform.

After the other scholars changed their clothes, they also gathered around, "Presumably you are Lu Zhenguo in the imperial examination in this mansion, congratulations on winning Maocai." ”

"Lu Maocai's name has long been heard, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”

"You don't have to be polite. Lu Ming said modestly.

Then, Lu Ming and the other scholars tidied up their clothes and entered the temple, worshiped the saints together, and received the second talent empowerment.

Lu Ming is a heaven-sent scribe, so this is the fourth time he has received a talent empowerment.

After this talent qi empowerment, the talent spirit sword in the Wen Mansion was nourished, and the cracks on the sword body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, until finally, the talent spirit sword was completely repaired, and a gentle sword sound was emitted.

Lu Ming was overjoyed in his heart, "After the Talented Spirit Sword is repaired, I am not afraid of fighting with other scholars." ”

In addition, the whirlpool of Wen Dan also disappeared, and a droplet-shaped thing appeared, crystal clear and spotless, which was the moment Wen Dan was officially promoted to Wen Dan.

The talent in the Wenfu has also been greatly improved. Lu Ming could clearly feel that his cultivation had become stronger.

After the worship, Zhou Dongyue said: "At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, the temple will open the gate to the Book Mountain, and anyone who thinks that he is outstanding in literature can go there. ”

As soon as the words fell, the originally excited eyes of many people suddenly dimmed a lot, Zhou Dongyue said very clearly, it was "outstanding literary talent", not "literary talent", and directly brushed off more than half of the people.

"There are many difficulties in the Shushan experience, but for new scribes, these are opportunities that cannot be missed, and I believe that you will not back down, because you are scholars, right?"

Zhou Dongyue's words immediately encouraged all the readers present, and they were all high-spirited and full of passion.

"Now that the worship service is over, do what you want. ”

"Student farewell!"

Everyone bowed, and then withdrew from the temple, and then Zhou Dongyue spoke again: "Lu Maocai, please stay." ”

"Scholar, do you have anything to do?" Lu Ming asked.

Old Zhou Dongyue's face turned red, coughed dryly, and said, "This official has something to say to you, please come with me." ”

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but had to agree.

Ji Zhifu's eyes were even colder, and he said to himself: "Lu Ming must also go to Shushan, then this mansion will give you a little color!

In a room in the Academy, Zhou Dongyue and Lu Ming sat opposite each other, laying a soundproofing aura, and their faces were solemn.

Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw this, seeing Zhou Dongyue like this, maybe he was going to discuss a big thing.

"Lu Maocai, Zhou has something I want to tell you, yesterday a great Confucian from the Holy Academy came to take your article directly, and it was not reviewed in the Academy of Literature, so I ...... I ......"

Zhou Dongyue struggled, but finally put down his face and said sincerely: "I really want to read your article, can you tell me a brief story?"

Lu Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and after a long time, it turned out that Zhou Dongyue was going to ask himself, which made him nervous for a while, thinking that something was going to happen.

But then, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment: "You just said that a great Confucian took away my article? Why? Aren't the candidates' test papers usually reviewed in the Academy of Literature?"

"I don't know about this, but I think it has something to do with Wenqu Xingliang. ”

Zhou Dongyue said: "It must be that your article shocked the world and lit up Wenqu Xing, and the Holy Academy took your article away in order to protect you." ”

Lu Ming suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case, are you feeling sorry for not being able to review my test papers, and at the same time you are unwilling?"

"Yes. Zhou Dongyue nodded.

Lu Ming said apologetically: "Scholar, please forgive Xiao Sheng, since the Holy Academy accepted my article, it means that the Holy Academy does not allow others to know the content of my article, how can Xiao Sheng live up to the kindness of the Holy Academy?"

"This ......"

Zhou Dongyue's face suddenly turned ugly, and he hurriedly said: "Lu Maocai, Zhou begs you, you can advise next time!"

"The scholar is serious, it's not that Xiaosheng doesn't want to communicate with you, but my article has been included in the Holy Academy, how can I easily disclose it to others?"

Zhou Dongyue immediately got up, bowed to Lu Ming, bowed deeply, and said very sincerely: "Please Lu Mao can be generous in solving doubts!"

Lu Ming was shocked, and a scholar gave a deep salute to the scribe, which was enough to express Zhou Dongyue's sincere heart.

"University scholars can't be like this, please get up quickly, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

Lu Ming wanted to help Zhou Dongyue up, but he couldn't help him, so he had to say: "Okay, Xiaosheng will reveal one or two to you." ”

"Thank you Lu Maocai!"

Zhou Dongyue straightened up at this time, and before Lu Ming could speak, he said directly: "Please rest assured, Zhou will be tight-lipped and will not reveal the content to anyone." ”

Lu Ming sorted out his thoughts and said: "Actually, my article is not so exaggerated, the main thing is that I have grasped the most important arguments, and I will briefly tell you the main contents of the essays and strategies respectively. ”

"My essay is based on the imperial examination, and the content is ......"

Zhou Dongyue listened attentively, attentively, and very seriously.

Lu Ming did not go through a long speech, but directly extracted the central content of the article, in one sentence, from the small to the big.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Dongyue was like an initiation, and suddenly realized, with a look of great admiration on his face.

"Listening to your words, it is better to study for ten years, thank you Lu Maocai for generously dismissing, and finally solved my doubts about being an official for many years. ”

After Zhou Dongyue finished speaking, he saluted again, as if he was treating his own teacher, respectfully.

This reminded Lu Ming of the content in the "Analects", Zigong asked: "Why does Confucius Wenzi mean Wenye?" Zi said: "Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, is to say Wenye." ”

Zhou Dongyue's words and deeds are the perfect explanation of "shameless questioning", and he did not feel ashamed because of his status as a dignified scholar and bowed down to a scribe to ask for advice, which is enough to show that Zhou Dongyue is studious.

"The university scholar was invited, and the little student was flattered. ”

Lu Ming helped Zhou Dongyue up and said with a smile: "Since you have no doubts, then Xiao Sheng will leave first." ”

Lu Mao asked for help, and Zhou was grateful. ”

"Farewell!"

Lu Ming arched his hand, then walked out of the room and left the Academy.

Zhou Dongyue was still intoxicated by Lu Ming's theory of governance, and was amazed, "Lu Maocai's theory of governance is really wonderful, I seem to have the same enthusiasm as when I was an official for the first time, and my ambitions will definitely be realized!"
