In the Qifeng Pavilion, the twenty-three scholars who were preparing for the interview had been waiting for a long time, the Qifeng Pavilion was very tall and empty, although the scholars wanted to go to the window to have a look, but there were guards and officials standing around, everyone still did not have the courage to stand up, at the critical moment of the final interview, no one wanted their temporary willfulness to leave a bad impression on the Son of Heaven.

Twenty-three gentlemen sat silently in their chairs, patiently waiting for the summons, and as time passed, they had been sitting for half an hour, when everyone's patience was about to be exhausted, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind them, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

I saw two strange officials of the Ministry of Rites walking in front of them, not Pei Qun, who had been bringing them in, looked at everyone for the leading officials, and asked, "Who is Liu Ran?" ”

Liu Ran was stunned, slowly raised his hand, and the official said to him: "Come with us!" ”

Liu Ran was nervous and expectant, he was actually the first interview, and everyone also envied him, and the first interview would always leave a good impression.

But soon, everyone found out that something was wrong, and they should go straight to the front when they went to the interview, but Liu Ran actually walked back, and that was where they came in.

Liu Ran also found that something was wrong, and when he walked to the door, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Where is this going?" ”

The leading official said coldly: "You are only the fourth place in the boy section!" ”

Liu Ran's eyes were dark, and he was almost on the ground, was he going to be sent back again? What a shame that is!

"Can you not go back?" Liu Ran pleaded, "I can wait elsewhere." ”

Another official looked at him with pity, shook his head and said, "The previous official broke the rules and has been dismissed and investigated, we don't want to follow in his footsteps, please!" ”

Liu Ran was desperate, and came to the square like a walking corpse, and when the scholars saw that Liu Ran was back, they thought that his interview was over, but it was not quite right, and the boy department should be interviewed later!

Liu Ran returned to his seat and sat down, he lowered his head, listening to the discussion of the people next to him, he longed for a crack in the ground to let him get in.

"Fanning, why is this kid back again?"

When Liu Ran first appeared, Su Liang became excited, "Did you find a mistake above?"

'Got it wrong?' It's a joke, the Son of Heaven can make a mistake in the interview?

But Fanning was also confused, if it wasn't a mistake, how could Liu Ran come back? It shouldn't be possible to end the interview, and it should be Feng Jing and them who came back first, so what's going on?

There was also a glimmer of hope in Fanning's heart.

At this time, an official walked to the front and said in a loud voice: "Fan Ning, a scholar of Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture!" ”

Su Liang hurriedly poked Fan Ning with his elbow, "Quickly agree!" ”

Fanning hurriedly raised his hand, "Here!" ”

"Come out of the queue and come with me!"

Walk? Where to go? Fan Ning was a little dazed, Su Liang was a little anxious, and pushed him out, what did this kid hesitate about at a critical time?

Fan Ning walked out of the team and followed the officials towards Fengqi Pavilion, at this time, all the scholars understood that the interview of the Tongzi Section had been replaced, and the one who had been eliminated just now was returned, and this one was the main one.

Su Liang said triumphantly to the people around him, "Fanning is the first place in the provincial examination for children, I don't believe that he doesn't even have a chance to interview?" ”

He said in a very loud voice, deliberately letting Liu Ran hear, "Someone is bent on replacing Fanning, it's a pity!" It's just self-inflicted. ”

If in the past, if this kind of humiliation had been made, Liu Ran would have rushed up and tore it up, but now, Liu Ran was like a plastic man who had been pulled out of the valve core, slumped in the chair, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Fan Ning walked into the Fengqi Pavilion, the other twenty-two people all looked at him in surprise, and the official of the Ministry of Rites pointed to the vacant seat and said to Fan Ning: "Sit down first!" ”

"Am I going to the interview?" Fanning finally couldn't help but ask.

The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at him meaningfully and nodded, "You are currently ranked first in the Tongzi Division, and in order, you are ranked first in the Tongzi Division for interviews." ”

"I'm fine!"

Fan Ning breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down, since he was ranked first, it showed that the imperial court still valued his opinion on expanding the territory.

Feng Jing sat right in front of him, gently tapped his knee with his fist, and smiled approvingly at him.

After sitting for a while, I saw an attendant running over, holding a roster in his hand, and said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "The Son of Heaven is already seated, the interview begins, call people in this order!" ”

He handed the roster to the official of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites took it and looked at it, and it was indeed a little fine-tuned, and Fan Ning, who came just now, was actually transferred to the last.

The official of the Ministry of Rites said loudly: "The first interview, Feng Jing of Jiangxia County, Ezhou!" ”

Feng Jing was also stunned for a moment, he was actually the first interview, he quickly stood up, and the waiter said to him: "Come with me!" ”

The chamberlain took Feng Jing and walked along the long corridor in front of him towards the apse of the Daqing Palace.

The apse is very small, and the seats are relatively casual, the son of heaven Zhao Zhen sits on the dragon couch, and there are five or six important ministers sitting on both sides of the second step, including Xiangguo Wen Yanbo, Song Zhen, privy envoy Pang Ji, deputy minister Gao Ruone, Liang Shi, and scholar Zhao Xu, scholar Wang Yaochen and so on.

Feng Jing came to the bottom of the steps and knelt down to salute, "Student Ezhou Feng Jing to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

They have passed the palace examination and are already protégés of the Son of Heaven, so they regard themselves as students.

Although it is an interview with the Son of Heaven, in fact, the Son of Heaven does not ask, but the host Xiangguo Wen Yanbo asks questions, the Son of Heaven observes, and observes the candidates, if he is interested, the Son of Heaven can also ask two sentences.

Feng Jing is Fu Bi's son-in-law and the first in the provincial examination, so Zhao Zhen transferred him to the first interview.

Zhao Zhen raised a gesture, and the waiter next to him said loudly: "Candidates stand up and wait to ask!" ”

Feng Jing stood up, although he was standing, but because he was standing at the foot of the steps, he was still on the same level as the sitting Xiangguo in height.

Wen Yanbo asked, "Please introduce yourself in one sentence!" ”

"The student is from Jiangxia, Ezhou, born in poverty, compassion for the weak and righteous!"

Wen Yanbo nodded, and asked again: "Please use a tea time to briefly describe your strategy for enriching the people!" ”

...........

The interview speed is very fast, mainly to see the interest of the Son of Heaven in the candidates, with interest, will interview a little more time, if there is no interest, make a self-introduction and go down, the strategy of enriching the people, there are exam questions in the palace examination, there is no need for the Son of Heaven to listen to it again, in fact, it still depends on the person.

Everyone actually knows this truth, after all, it is not the first imperial examination, in order to let the Son of Heaven pay more attention to himself, everyone racks their brains and wants to come up with something new, but if they don't grasp it well, it will be self-defeating.

Since there is a section of road from Fengqi Pavilion to the apse, in order to save time, it is generally three people to walk together, and when there is only one person left, the next group of three people should set off.

After more than half an hour, the interview had come to an end, and an attendant stepped forward and said to the last three boys: "Now it's your turn, please come with me!" ”

The three boys hurriedly stood up, lined up in order, and followed the chamberlain to the apse.

Outside the apse, you can clearly hear the answer inside, the last scholar is Zhang Zhu of Bianliang County, Kaifeng Prefecture, only to hear him briefly introduce himself, Wen Yanbo said: "Thank you for your hard work, go down and wait for the news!" ”

The three boys looked at each other, it was as simple as that, and they were dismissed in one sentence?

At this time, the chamberlain said in a loud voice: "The following is the interview of the children's department, the first one is to ask Zhang Qiu of Bianliang County, Kaifeng Prefecture to go to the palace for an interview!" ”

"Here!" Zhang Qiu nervously agreed and went out.

Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, is very tolerant of the boys, and the interview time is more than the previous scholars, and Zhao Zhen personally asked questions, Zhang Qiu explained his ambitions, and said a tea time, Zhao Zhen picked up the tea and let him go down.

The second is Li Ying of Yuhang County, Hangzhou, who, like Zhang Qiu, also got a cup of tea time.

"Please ask the third and last one, Fan Ning of Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture to go to the palace for an interview!"

Fanning won't shout a 'to!' like the two in front of him. I was too nervous to do that.

He calmly walked into the main hall and knelt down in front of the jade steps to salute, "Student Fanning, see Your Majesty, see your ministers!" See all the scholars! ”

Everyone was in high spirits, this was the scholar Zhang Xuan desperately wanted to suppress, but in the end he fell down by himself.

In particular, Pang Ji paid close attention to him, and Fanning made a special trip to visit him to express his attitude.

Pang Ji saw that Fan Ning's demeanor was calm, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, but he was thorough, and he also took the two scholars into account, he secretly praised and dealt with it very decently.

Wen Yanbo glanced at Zhao Zhen, the son of heaven, and saw that he was drinking tea in the duanzhan with an expressionless face, so he said: "Please introduce yourself in one sentence!" ”

"The student is from Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture, and his family has been poor since he was a child, and he is a beautiful stone!"

Zhao Zhen'poof! With a sound, the tea in the mouth squirted out, everyone was shocked, and the two palace maids next to him hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the water droplets on Zhao Zhen's beard, and Zhao Zhen waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Pang Ji is also secretly funny, others must think that Fanning is talking about 'good food', the family is poor! It's normal to like delicious things, but he knows that Fan Ning is talking about 'beautiful stones', and the Son of Heaven also knows that he has listed Tian Huangshi as a tribute.

Zhao Zhen showed a smile on his face and asked, "Since the family is poor, how can you be a beautiful stone?" ”

Fan Ning scratched the back of his neck and said a little embarrassed: "When the student was young, he got a string of purple jade bracelets, and since then he has a strong interest in stones. ”

Pang Ji secretly scolded 'little slippery head', very cunning! actually used a purple jade bracelet to please the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Zhen also showed a knowing smile on his face.
