It's just that the selection of the Hanlin Academy every three years, the competition is too fierce, and those who are qualified to enter the selection are all talented and talented people with the name of Shujishi, and no one will be much worse than others.

The so-called Shu Ji Shi is generally awarded to the three people who are ranked in the first class of Jinshi in the palace examination once every three years, that is, the champion, the list eye, the tanhua, and the young outstanding person who ranks in the second class.

In addition, the Hanlin Academy will also give a few places every year, and select a few Jishi through the examination, of course, there are many conditions for reference, there are many conditions, there is a must for the title of Jinshi, in addition to age, and the need for cabinet ministers, university scholars and other officials to recommend and so on.

In addition, only the emperor can be promoted to the position of Jishi.

Therefore, it can be seen that there is no weak person in this Shujishi, and the selection of the Hanlin Academy every three years is fiercely competitive, and compared with the examination of people, the Jinshi examination is not much worse.

Even if he Li Yu has a talent background, he still doesn't have much confidence in this, and his talent and qualifications are all there, and there will be no more changes for a while, so the only thing left that can increase the weight of this matter is merit.

It's a pity that in the past few years, although he has performed his duties properly, he has not had any conspicuous achievements, he doesn't think that his talent is insufficient, but he doesn't have this opportunity.

And now there is a great opportunity in front of him, there are many people who have reported that there is a problem of fraud in the imperial examination in Linshui County, and the whistleblower is conclusive, including a real-name report, which is a child head of Shahe Village, Linshui County, when he saw these reports in the Office of the Academic Administration, he felt that his opportunity had come, if he could be in his own position as a scholar of the imperial history, and found a case of fraud in the imperial examination, what merit could be greater than this.

As long as this case of fraud in the imperial examination is confirmed, then his merits will be there, and his reputation will be gained, which will undoubtedly add a heavy weight to his way into the Hanlin Academy.

This is a rare opportunity, and he really doesn't want to miss it. There is an age limit for entering the Hanlin Academy, and if you are over forty years old, you will be turned away, so he has not many opportunities left, and he must grasp every opportunity and go all out.

Therefore, after deciding that he wanted to inspect the prefecture and county, he immediately took the initiative to ask the Xuezheng to come to this Linshui County to inspect, and the Xuezheng was also very face-saving and happily agreed.

So this trip, he came prepared, it was impossible to be perfunctory, and he had to make a big move and stir up a storm before he would stop.

I can't say it, I can only use the black gauze hat on these people's heads as my Li Yu's entry steps. His eyes swept over Liu Chaozong and other Linshui County officials, although Li Yu was still perfunctory on the surface, he had already made up his mind in his heart.

When the wine was hot, Li Yu said casually: "I heard that the Qinghe Academy in your county is very famous and has many talents, how can I miss such an outstanding academy, so I will go to the academy early tomorrow morning." ”

The officials praised the academy in the county for doing well, of course, this is a good word, and the officials of Linshui County naturally had a light on their faces, and they drank a few more glasses, but Liu Chaozong had a sudden attack in his heart, the other party had just arrived, and he couldn't wait to inspect Qinghe Academy, from which he seemed to have smelled a little unkindness, just because he knew that someone was a student of Qinghe Academy.

And the Sect Wang Xuan also looked thoughtful, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Yu saw that Liu Chaozong didn't speak for a while, so he asked, "What is the inconvenience of Lord Liu?" As he spoke, a trace of mockery swept over his eyes inadvertently, and the more ambiguous the other party's attitude, the more he felt that there was a lot of trickery in it.

Liu Chaozong came back to his senses, the other party came down to inspect the county middle school affairs this time, and wanted to go to the academy, which was the proper intention, he couldn't stop it at all, and immediately said: "I want to go to Qinghe Academy to inspect the school, this is the honor of the academy, the county will arrange it properly, and the county will accompany the school tomorrow." ”

Li Yu waved his hand and said: "Lord Liu, the head of a county, has every opportunity, how can I delay my official business because of this, before coming down, Lord Xuezheng has also repeatedly explained to us, don't disturb the place too much, tomorrow's matter, Lord Liu doesn't have to go in person, I will wait for the light car to follow, just go and go." ”

When Liu Chaozong heard this, his heart became more and more unsteady, but when he saw that the other party was resolute in his words, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he acquiesced, and said: "Then tomorrow, Lord Wang will accompany Tixue to go together." ”

Li Yu glanced at Wang Xuan, the instructor next to him, Wang Xuan immediately showed a few flattering smiles, he nodded indispensably, and agreed to it.

In his plan, Wang Xuan, the teacher of Linshui County, is also a key figure, and this person is very involved in the case of fraud in the imperial examination in Linshui County, and he is inseparable. It's just a small person, he hasn't paid much attention to it, at least it is much easier to deal with than Liu Chaozong, a righteous and honest two-sided jinshi, maybe this Wang Xuan is an excellent breakthrough in this case, he thought to himself.

After a full meal, the banquet dispersed, and Liu Chaozong ordered someone to send Li Yu and his party to the post house to rest, and he went back to the official residence.

When he returned to his residence, Master Xu Chong was still waiting in front of the study, and when he saw Liu Chaozong coming back, his face was worried, so he stepped forward and asked, "How did Dong Weng and the scholar eat this wine?"

Liu Chaozong walked into the room, sat down on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, shook his head and said: "This Li Yu, I think it is that the one who comes is not good, and the good person does not come! ”

Master Xu Chong was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Why did Dong Weng say this? Then what did Li Yu say?"

Liu Chaozong said: "He didn't say anything on the surface, but I could feel his murderous intentions. ”

Master Xu Chong was stunned, the other party was born in Jinshi, he knew the subtleties, he knew the details, and he had a deeper understanding of the way of qi, and the other party said this, there must be his reason.

He thought about it, and then relieved: "Dong Weng doesn't have to worry, the so-called soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, Dong Weng is standing upright, the mirror is hanging high, and he is not afraid of what storms he Li Yu can set off." ”

That's right, the problem is that he Liu Chaozong has a weak heart, and before he knew it, someone's colorful insect scroll that was drawn by himself appeared in front of him, and he felt a headache, that Wang Xuan, but he was really miserable, every time he thought of this, Liu Chaozong didn't feel angry in his heart, and he tore that Wang Xuan alive.

He said to the other party: "Shi Da, he Li Yu will go to Qinghe Academy to inspect early tomorrow morning, and he doesn't want the old man to go with him, I think it's not good for the person who came, you arrange someone to go with you tomorrow, and if there is any trouble, report immediately." ”

Xu Chong agreed, thought about it for a while, and said, "Dong Weng is worried about that Jiang Yun from Qinghe Academy?"

Liu Chaozong snorted, nodded, and Xu Chongdao: "Dong Weng doesn't have to worry too much, Li Tixue went to Qinghe Academy, not necessarily for that kid, even if he went for that kid, it may not be a matter of the science field, maybe he heard about his reputation, and under curiosity, he specially went to see him." ”

Liu Chaozong will not take it lightly, this Jiang Yun is a thorn in his heart, if the other party is really crazy, after seeing the scholar coming, he jumped out and shouted injustice or something, it is not a bad thing, so he repeatedly admonished: "This matter should not be neglected, you go to the academy overnight today, explain to them, pay attention to that Jiang Yun, it is best not to let him have a chance to meet with the scholar officer." ”

Although Xu Chong didn't think so, when he saw Liu Chaozong solemnly, he didn't say much, and Nuo Nuo agreed.

On this side of Qinghe Academy, after getting the conclusive news that the student officer was coming, the whole academy suddenly boiled, for this matter, from the head of the academy, the professor below, to the ordinary students of the academy, all attach great importance to it, the head of the academy, the professor hopes that the academy's running can be recognized by the student officer, appreciated, and expand the fame of the college, and the ordinary students hope to be able to perform in front of the student officer and show their faces, in order to be able to be appreciated and favored by the college officer and become famous.

Song Ximing, the head of the mountain, summoned all the people from the academy to the office for a meeting, and arranged all the matters for entertaining the arrival of the student officer.

Of course, the focus of the officer's visit to the academy is to inspect the students' studies, otherwise it is useless to do a good job on the surface.

Song Ximing, the head of the mountain, gathered a group of students from the East and West Pavilions of the academy and gave them a hard lecture, and then left some outstanding talents in the East and West Pavilions, focusing on admonishing them, these people will be the main people arranged by the academy to welcome the scholars and respond to the test of the scholars after the arrival of the scholars.

For Lu Wenpeng, Min Wei, Liu Chuhan, Li Yuanchun, Cui Hao and other outstanding talents, Song Ximing even admonished them one by one, encouraging them to perform well and win glory for the college.

These people are all students of the East Pavilion, after the children's test just now, the students of the West Pavilion have shown signs of withering faults, how can this work, Song Ximing has decided, after this matter, the West Pavilion will immediately carry out new enrollment, and be sure to collect some new good seedlings.

When he was lecturing, Xu Chong, the master of the county order Liu Chaozong, had been standing on the side, and after the disturbance for a while, and the matter was almost explained, Xu Chong pulled the other party aside and said directly: "Jiang Yun, a student of the academy, is arrogant and has a bad reputation. ”

Song Ximing also had a headache for Jiang Yun, the "cancer" of the academy, obviously, Jiang Yun's reputation is notorious, and as a academy, he will naturally not be spared, and it will inevitably affect the pond fish, and his reputation will be damaged.

He also had the idea of dismissing the other party, but the other party just had a bad reputation, and he had not done anything that violated the rules of the hospital, so he couldn't find a suitable excuse, and the other party was lucky enough to pass the Tongsheng examination, so the matter has been shelved.

Now listening to Xu Chong's special mention of this person, Song Ximing thought to himself, this son can be paid special attention to by the county magistrate, and I don't know if it is his luck, he didn't say much, and promised: "Master, please rest assured, I will ask someone to watch him tomorrow, and he will not cause any trouble." ”

With Song Ximing's assurance, Xu Chong was relieved, it was late, and he didn't rush back, so he stopped in the academy directly.

Early the next morning, the academy was busy, sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard of the corridor, and a row of students straightened up their clothes early, lined up in front of the mountain gate, ready to welcome the arrival of the school officer and his party.

"I heard that the student is not small?"

"Yes, I heard that he was born in the Guanlong Li family, and the Guanlong Li family has produced three generations of scholars. ”

"This person is a young man, quite talented, and is a great young and famous person. ”

"It would be nice if I was lucky enough to get the favor of the student officer this time. ”

"I've prepared some old poetry articles, but I don't know if I'll have the chance to send them when the time comes. ”

"I've got some ...... ready, too"

All the students were talking, and the topics were all around the upcoming promotion officer.

Jiang Yun's residence, get up early in the morning, after washing, hold a volume of scriptures and read in the courtyard in the morning, after reading in the morning, he will go out to the dining hall, after breakfast, as usual, go to the East Pavilion Hall to listen to the lecture, and as soon as he walks out of the courtyard gate, he sees a meticulous expression of the academy instructor standing at the door.

Jiang Yun didn't know what was going on, and was about to ask, but the instructor also brought a hot breakfast, handed him the food box, and said with a stiff face: "You will stay in the house today, and you don't have to go anywhere." ”

Jiang Yun was stunned when he heard this, looking at this posture, he was under house arrest, this is inexplicable, what kind of trouble is it.

He naturally didn't do it, so he asked the reason, and he was impatient with the question, so the instructor said briefly: "The academy wants to come to the distinguished guest today, this is the order of the mountain chief." ”

His answer is also enough for the Spring and Autumn Period, and after Jiang Yun heard it, he was puzzled at first, and then remembered what Zhou Shimin told him about what he said before, the scholar was going to come to the academy to inspect the academy in the near future, and he understood that the other party said that he was going to come to the distinguished guest today, and it should be the scholar who inspected and visited.

This is the order of the mountain chief, which means that putting himself under house arrest is what the mountain chief Song Ximing meant, why did Song Ximing do this, he understood it after a little thought, is it not that he is afraid that he will make trouble if he mentions the school official, so he puts himself under house arrest here to avoid any incident?

After thinking about this, he couldn't help but be speechless, and said in his heart that he was really wronged, the student was coming, and it was my business, and I had nothing to do to make trouble for no reason?

He was too lazy to say, house arrest is house arrest, anyway, he gave away food and drink for nothing, why not, he was not polite immediately, took the other party's food box, walked to the stone table in the courtyard, and ate and drank heavily.

Maybe it's a kind of compensation, the breakfast brought by the instructor is still very good, Jiang Yun ate it like a cloud, returned the food box to the instructor at the door, and then patted his buttocks, and went back to the house.

Originally, he was worried that he was going to make noise, but seeing him so well-behaved, the instructor breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and still stood at the door inch by inch. (To be continued.) )
