Marking exam papers is a very confidential matter, and it is generally impossible to disclose it before the exam results are out.

But before the review was over, a big joke came out of the trial review room in Huainan East Road Township and reached the ears of various officials!

Ren Zhongzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, named and refused to let Chen Junxian, who passed the township examination, passed, not only passed, but also won the championship!

The key is that the manpower on the side of the Department of Education is to disagree with the public, and even at the expense of offending Master Jin, I want to give Chen Junxian full marks!

As soon as the news was transmitted, many officials burst out laughing!

"Hahaha!"

"I'm laughing to death, what these people in the Ministry of Rites do, it's just no one!"

"I thought they were capable, so they repaid their grievances with virtue?"

"The Ministry of Rites deserves to be the Ministry of Rites, it is really based on etiquette, and even Hua Xuanji, who made them disgraced, can give full marks? Tsk, this spirit is great! ”

Many officials watched the jokes of the Ministry of Rites.

In particular, Ren Zhongzheng's political enemies burst into laughter one by one when they learned the news.

The time of the Great Song Dynasty was around five o'clock in the morning, but it was not really enough to arrive at five o'clock in the morning, and many officials often arrived at two or three o'clock in the morning.

It's just that the time for the court meeting has not arrived, and it is impossible for this group of officials to stand stupidly outside, there is a place called Dongyu in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, which is for those who are preparing officials to rest before going to the court.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty had a very bad system, that is, as long as the officials in Beijing, whether you are a Jiupin from outside, or a famous and powerless lord in the capital, as long as there is a court meeting on this day, all of them must arrive.

No, just after four o'clock in the morning, there is still half an hour before the court meeting, and the east hall is already overcrowded.

Everyone was whispering about the joke they had just received.

Suddenly, Ren Zhongzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in from outside.

Everyone looked at him.

The privy envoy Cao Bin heard that Chen Junxian had made an earth-shattering poem for him, He was originally indifferent to Chen Junxian, but at this moment, he couldn't help but deviate from the past, and he and Ren Zhongzheng themselves were a little bit at odds, No, as soon as he saw someone, he smiled and quipped: "Ren Shangshu, you have a new scar in the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Ren Zhongzheng's face was terrifying, and he didn't answer, but sat down and said to the little eunuch, "Make me a pot of tea." ”

At this time, Shi Shouxin, the big man who heard Zeng Huan say that he had won over Chen Junxian, also joked, and he deliberately shouted: "Have the dirty things in your Ministry of Rites been turned out?" ”

Ren Zhongzheng's eyes widened and said, "Why do you slander people's innocence out of thin air like this? ”

"What innocence? I heard with my own ears that the people in your Ministry of Rites said that they would give that Hua Xuanji a dismissal, and the result? I was almost hung and beaten by others! Shi Shouxin laughed.

Ren Zhongzheng's face turned red, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and argued: "If we really want to give him a horse, will we give him full marks?" Or Huainan East Road Admiral Zhu gave a full score by public opinion! ”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, everyone heard the rumors, how could they not know that the Ministry of Rites was not only swollen in the face by Chen Junxian this time, but also lost their front teeth, and everyone was very happy for a while.

……

The sky has just dawned.

Chen Junxian in the inn didn't know about the test shed and the rumors from the outside world.

He had just finished his cultivation in the middle of the night, and he felt that his cultivation had improved again.

"It's just that it's still far away from the Great Perfection of the foundation building period, it seems that after I go back to this township test, I must exchange the five million contribution points for heavenly materials and earth treasures to help me break through to the Great Perfection."

While Chen Junxian was reaping his merits, he was secretly thinking about how to break through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, or the Jindan Period.

Because the exercises of "Nine Turns Xuangong" are relatively special, as long as you can turn the Jindan two times and prepare more pills or other medicinal materials that contain more innate essence, you can use the power of the purple medicine of the second turn Jindan to reshape the body in one fell swoop, so as to be promoted to the Jindan stage.

Of course, if you feel that you are not sure that you will succeed in reshaping your physical body all at once, you can also stay in the Dzogchen stage for the time being.

Chen Junxian had the experience of ascending to the foundation building period of the tenth layer of the Qi refining period, so he naturally didn't want to stay too long in the foundation building period.

What he thought was that once he broke through to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, he would immediately hit the Jindan Period that the world dreamed of.

"There are three months before the township test, and I should have enough time to impact, but my current realm is still a long way from the Great Perfection, how can I reach the edge of breakthrough?"

Chen Junxian pondered.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Qingzhu's voice came from outside, "Master, Fan Caosi just sent someone to come and say that you should go." ”

What is the matter with Fan Caosi looking for me at this time?

Chen Junxian was a little puzzled, but he still responded: "Let's go." ”

He stood up and straightened his clothes, then slowly walked outside.

……

After a while, I came to Lufu.

Chen Junxian was welcomed into the innermost courtyard of the yamen, where Fan Caosi's family lived, and the Great Song Dynasty had regulations that all officials in charge of the government must live in the yamen.

The yard is quite big.

Because spring is coming, the flowers are blooming, and the whole yard is colorful and full of the fragrance of flowers.

As soon as Chen Junxian stepped in, he felt refreshed.

"Coming?"

Fan Caosi's voice came from not far away.

Chen Junxian was surprised to find that Fan Caosi was standing there more than ten steps away from him, and he didn't notice it at such a close distance.

Walking over, Chen Junxian saluted and said, "I've seen Cao Si." ”

Fan Mingou was admiring the flowers, it was a peony flower, he pointed and said: "I heard that your Hua Xuanji poetry and lyrics are a must, why don't you take peony as the theme and compose a poem on the spot?" ”

Chen Junxian was stunned: "How can there be such rumors, my subordinates are not proficient. ”

"Okay, you still want to hide it from me?" Fan Mingou turned around and smiled and quipped: "If it weren't for the words on your township exam paper that I saw with my own eyes, and I heard Sun Yunsheng say that you were able to write poems during your college exam, I might have been fooled by you. ”

Chen Junxian couldn't cry or laugh, but he knew that Fan Caosi called him over definitely not as simple as chanting poetry, and the reason why this was so was probably for other reasons.

"That being the case, then Hua is ugly." Chen Junxian didn't admit it.

With that, he closed his eyes and pondered, wondering which one to copy.

Fan Mingou didn't urge him, and quietly waited for his masterpiece.

It didn't take long for Chen Junxian to think of an excellent peony poem by Liu Yuxi, and it was very suitable for his situation.

"There it is." Chen Junxian said.

Fan Mingou hurriedly pricked up his ears.

"The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and unkind."

Fan Mingou's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said in his heart that he was praised as a great talent in poetry by those academic and political officials who hated you, and these two poems were simply beautiful.

Chen Junxian was not in a hurry, and recited the second half of the que, "Only the peony is true to the country, and the capital moves when the flowers bloom." ”

Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom?

When Fan Mingou heard this, goosebumps rose all over the person, isn't this a self-metaphor, you Hua Xuanji is so bold, you actually want to take advantage of this Enzheng and Ke to move the capital when you will take the exam?

"Good! Good! Fan Mingou couldn't help but applaud, he was very satisfied with Chen Junxian's "Appreciating Peony", and then said: "The title of the poem that will be tested is 'Peony', you can write this poem, and it is not a problem to get a full score." ”

Chen Junxian sighed, "When you take the test, the poem question is peony?" ”

Fan Min smiled and said: "That's right, the prince asked people to come over overnight to spread the word, saying that Your Majesty heard that after your exam paper last night, Long Yan was happy, and it happened that he saw the peony flowers blooming when he went to court, so he told the prince that the topic of poetry may be based on peony." ”

Chen Junxian was happy, and then he knew why Fan Mingou let himself compose a poem with the theme of peony, and co-authored it to reveal to himself the test topic?

"I haven't passed the township test yet, and I don't know if there is a drama in the test." Chen Junxian said modestly.

Speaking of this, Fan Min suddenly burst out with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, it's okay if you don't say the township test, when you talk about it, I really want to laugh my belly." ”

Chen Junxian and the second monk were puzzled, "Why is Cao Si laughing?" ”

Fan Mingou forced a smile, as if he had experienced something very interesting, "You don't know that those academic officials are really people who do what they say." ”

Chen Junxian was even more confused, "Cao Si, what happened?" ”

"Want to know?" Fan Mingou deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and asked.

Chen Junxian nodded.

Fan Mingou said with a smile: "Yesterday, Ma Xuezheng said that if you can pass the township examination, he will eat the table for marking the papers, and guess what?" ”

Chen Junxian said: "What's the matter? ”

Fan Min sketched the events of last night, including Zhu Changling and Sun Yunsheng, who originally didn't want Chen Junxian to pass the literary exam, and the examiners almost fought with Jin Fuzi for Chen Junxian's exam papers, but finally kept the full score.

Chen Junxian was also happy when he heard this, and said in his heart that these school officials must have been angry when they saw my name, right?

"And then, ah......" Speaking of this, Fan Mingou couldn't help laughing again, he laughed so much that tears were about to come out, "That...... Nama Xuezheng was ...... by Master Jin Master Jin despised it, and really broke the table into small pieces and ate them into his stomach! ”

Burst!

Chen Junxian almost burst out laughing!

Your sister, this Ma Xuezheng is really a talent, and he really does what he says, saying that he eats the table by eating the table, and the key meow himself may not be able to win the case, or Ma Xuezheng, Zhu Changling and other manpower war masters, desperately give him the full score!

Only then did Chen Junxian know why Fan Mingou was laughing, and after hearing this, he also burst into laughter.

"Haha." Fan Mingou laughed for a while, and then he couldn't help but suppress his laughter, "Okay, don't laugh, let's talk about something related to your hometown." ”

Well?

What is related to your hometown? Isn't the township exam just an exam?

Chen Junxian didn't understand what it meant, so he simply didn't say anything and stood there waiting.

Fan Min showed a serious look, "The prince wants to cultivate you." ”

Chen Junxian understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately said, "Cao Si, please speak." ”

Fan Min Gou bowed his head slightly, and said: "What does Wang Gonggong mean, this time there is an extremely powerful candidate in Enzheng and Keyouzhou, and he is likely to be your biggest opponent in this exam, so I want to help you." ”

Chen Junxian said: "Powerful candidate? ”

"We'll talk about that later." Fan Mingou blinked and said, "But the prince has a request, if you can do it, he can help." ”

Chen Junxian just learned from Fan Mingou that he had taken the lead in the poetry test, but these are all false, and now that Fan Mingou said this, it is obvious that helping each other is substantial.

He was also curious about what the prince asked for and what kind of substantial benefits he would give him.

He said, "I would like to hear about it." ”
