At the end of the examination, it was naturally a nervous reading of the papers, a team of soldiers had blocked the examination hall, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the chief examiner, examiner, and fellow examiner were all resting on the spot, and hundreds of officials began to get busy.

All the test papers are all re-transcribed, with a neat cabinet style book, rules and regulations, can not have the slightest confusion, and there are special officials to compare and test, in case there is a difference, all the officials are selected from other places, are old officials with knives and pens, and the transcription is very fast, and the small half hour is a few test papers.

Therefore, no matter how good your handwriting is, it is useless, because the test papers seen by the examiners are all from the hands of these swordsmen and pencils, and no matter how good the calligraphy is, it will not enter the eyes of the examiners.

Of course, the main purpose of this is to prevent the examiner from colluding with the examiner to cheat with the examinees through guò handwriting and marking, and it took a whole day of work until all the exam papers were copied, and then the examiners, who had already eaten and drunk, finally began to sit high in each hall and cross-mark the papers.

But it was said that in the Forbidden City, the exam questions had already been introduced to the palace, and Jiajing looked at the seven characters of filial piety in the exam questions, and suddenly became puzzled.

Shen Zhi is the righteousness of filial piety...... Why did Yang Tinghe come up with such a question, although Jiajing may not be familiar with the four books, he also knows the meaning of this question, this Yang Tinghe's question is really weird.

Could it be that he was hinting at something?

Jiajing immediately shook his head, impossible, Jiajing knows this stubborn Bachelor Yang too well, once this person makes up his mind, he will never change it lightly, and there is no way to talk about hints.

He frowned, and couldn't find a clue after thinking about it for a long time, but he finally couldn't help it, and looked for Huang Jinlai and said: "Since the exam has been completed, this Xu Qian is also idle, call him into the palace to see him." ”

Huang Jin nodded and hurriedly left the palace in person. Went straight to Xu's house, Xu Qian came back after the exam, relaxed, and hid at home to rest, seeing Huang Jin's visit, he also felt strange, and was about to welcome him in to speak, but Huang Jin stopped in front of the door and said with a smile: "Xu Gongzi." You don't have to go in, our family invites you to enter the palace with holy will. ”

Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty summons you, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Huang Jin was not in a hurry to answer, but asked: "I don't know how Xu Gongzi's exam is?" ”

Xu Qian said: "It's not bad. ”

Huang Jin sighed and said, "What Your Majesty is worried about is that you will try, and there seems to be something wrong with this test." But His Majesty can't guess the joints in it, so he wants to invite you into the palace and serve as a staff officer. ”

Xu Qian smiled bitterly: "Let's ...... Then let's go to the palace. ”

Sitting in Huang Jin's car, Xu Qian's heart fluctuated, and he didn't guess Yang Tinghe's intentions at first, but he came back from the exam. But there seemed to be a faint eyebrow, he had investigated, and although he was not sure yet, he had already roughly understood something.

At the moment when Xu Qian entered the palace. Jiang Mian, who was on duty in the cabinet, received a note and gently opened it, and suddenly, Jiang Mian's face changed. Unexpectedly, some of them were unsettled, and their already worried faces seemed to have aged a few years all of a sudden. He no longer had the heart to vote, but leaned back in his chair and fell into bitter thought.

Mao Ji, who was sitting at the other end, was holding a pen, his eyes casually skimming to him, and then he smiled coldly, as if he had succeeded in something.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The student has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor."

Entering the warm pavilion, Xu Qian saluted respectfully as usual.

Jiajing, who was sitting on the throne, raised his hand lightly and said, "Excuse me." His face was solemn, and he said straight to the point: "How is it, how did you do in the exam?" The topic is to declare the righteousness of filial piety, but I don't know how you solved the problem? ”

Xu Qian replied honestly: "What the student broke was: to follow the cultivation to teach, to be cautious in Shen, and to see the dedication of the king's road. ”

Jiajing chewed a little, seemed to feel a little unhappy, and said: "It's too decent, not too brilliant." ”

Xu Qian smiled slightly, "The student thinks: If you are not careful, then the order will be set up, and the righteousness of filial piety and the great one of teaching, Shen Zhi can tolerate the topic, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "With a little meaning, it's okay, don't talk about this, since the exam has already been examined, it's useless to talk more, I called you here to want to know why this Master Yang is using this as the topic, Master Yang must do things with a purpose, and he will never do things in vain, I can't think of the eyebrows here, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Xu Qian was silent for a moment and said, "The student doesn't dare to say it, just because although he has doubts, once he says it, he will inevitably be suspected of slander." ”

This is the so-called luring the snake out of the hole, if you don't let Jiajing say a word of innocence to you, Xu Qian will naturally not give people a handle.

When Jiajing heard that Xu Qian noticed something, his curiosity had already been aroused, and he hurriedly said: "But it doesn't hurt to say, there are no outsiders here, as long as you and I are the monarch and minister, don't you even hide it from me?" ”

Xu Qian sighed, and had to say: "Weichen heard that Chenghua will take the exam in the twenty-third year, and the exam question in Nanjing seems to be 'the teaching of the order'. ”

Jiajing's eyes flashed, although the teachings of the order of the Shen and the righteousness of filial piety are different, the source and meaning are actually the same, the teaching of the order of the order is about school education, and the latter sentence of the righteousness of the order of filial piety is actually a supplement to the teaching of the order. In other words, the questions of this year's Beijing examination are exactly the same as those in Nanjing in the 23rd year of Chenghua.

Jiajing said slowly: "Twenty-three years of Chenghua? What's the oddity here? ”

Xu Qian said: "In the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Ding Weike, Bachelor Jiang and his brother Jiang Ze took the exam in Nanjing, and the two of them won the Jinshi together, of which Bachelor Jiang was the ninth in the second grade, and Jiang Ze was the second and seventeenth, but his brother died early and was already sick in the Zhengde years. ”

Jiajing suddenly grabbed something, and said slowly: "You mean, Yang Tinghe's question is related to the exam in Nanjing in Chenghua year?" Yes, although these two questions are different, they are actually exactly the same, what do you want to say? ”

Xu Qian sighed again and said, "Your Majesty, what Weichen wants to say is that if you want to find out the truth, you only need to take out the examination papers of Master Jiang and his deceased brother at that time and take a look. ”

Jiajing suddenly realized, and immediately said to Huang Jin: "Is there a candidate in the palace who has lost the test paper of Ding Moke?" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "There are files to check, and they will not be lost, so the slave and maid will go and get them." ”

After a long time, the two test papers were taken, Jiajing first asked Xu Qian to look at his deceased brother's test papers, Xu Qian did not find anything abnormal, this chapter is actually empty, completely aimed at the air, except for the rich words, I can't see other eyebrows.

In fact, most of the eight-strand chapters are like this, a lot of verbosity, impassioned, gorgeous and delicate, it is indeed a pleasure to read it all, but its characteristics are also very prominent, so many are written, it will always be that old-fashioned thing, it will always be benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and righteousness, it is nothing more than parroting, reiterating the thoughts of the saints.

Xu Qian shook his head, and said in his heart, Jiang Mian's skills of the deceased brother are really powerful, such a nonsense chapter can be mixed with a second-class jinshi just by piling up words and sentences, I have heard that the origin of the Jiang family in Guangxi is not trivial, and when I see it today, it is really powerful.

He continued to look at Jiang Mian's chapter, and was immediately attracted by this chapter, and after a long time, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the problem is here, Your Majesty, and look at this broken question: the way of the teachings has its own point, and the heart does not let go of the way and exists on its own; This problem is commonplace, it is nothing more than saying that the so-called education, the key lies in the people's hearts, as long as the people's hearts are not lost, the way of learning will last forever. But what is really terrifying is this subject, Your Majesty, and see, the human heart comes from the Son of Heaven, the Holy King has no father, and his father is also Taoist, the Son of Heaven has no relatives, and the relatives are the common people......"

Xu Qian read out this inscription, and Jiajing's face suddenly changed.

The crux of the problem lies in the subject, which means that education lies in the hearts of the people, and as long as the hearts of the people are still there, education can be carried out. If the human heart is not there, the key lies in the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven should not have his father, even if there is, then the father of the Son of Heaven should also be the way of Heaven, the Son of Heaven should not have relatives, even if there are relatives, then his brothers and sisters should also be the people of the world.

This paragraph is logically not wrong, eight shares, it is nonsense, it is a high-sounding truth, nonsense, today it is said that the people are the children of the Son of Heaven, and tomorrow it will be said that it is siblings, in fact, it is all empty words, but the problem is that if this sentence is placed in the Jiajing Dynasty, it will be too appropriate.

Since the Son of Heaven has no father and no relatives, why should His Majesty make a big gift?

Come on, no one will dig out the chapters of these decades ago, compare them, after all, the things of decades ago are too old, no one takes them seriously, but the problem is that the questions of this year's imperial examination happen to be the same as decades ago, and those candidates who will take the exam are waiting uneasily at this time, and they will inevitably find some classic chapters to compare and compare to see if they are lacking anything, and Jiang Mian, as the second assistant of the cabinet, happens to have a similar chapter, in fact, you don't have to think about it, it won't be long, This chapter will definitely be re-copied, and it will definitely be famous all over the world!

Xu Qian sighed and said quietly: "Your Majesty, someone is going to borrow Jiang Mian's knife to punish Your Majesty's heart, it won't be long before the imperial court is afraid that something big will happen, and Your Majesty should prepare as soon as possible." ”

Jiajing's face suddenly became ugly, and at the same time, it was extremely sinister, and he suddenly realized that a huge crisis was in front of him......
