075 Sitting in the hall
"Heh, you don't even have the courage to name names, and you deserve to say that I am suspicious?"
is different from the previous low-key forbearance, even if the other party has chosen to avoid this time, Shen Yichen did not think about revealing it.
The reason is very simple, today it was really hammered that the Chengguo Mansion was cheating, and he had to take a clear stand, and this matter had nothing to do with him.
Otherwise, the rumor of fraud in the imperial examination will always accompany you!
"Shen Yichen, don't deceive people too much, do you really think I don't dare to talk about you?"
Xu Donghai was also a little annoyed at the moment in the face of Shen Yichen's aggressiveness.
How to say it, he is also the nephew of Xu Qi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he may be cowardly in the face of Chengguo's son-in-law, and Shen Yichen is just a servant son who has not entered the genealogy, and he doesn't dare to speak if he wants to suppress it.
And so many candidates are watching, if Xu Donghai is cowardly today, how can he mix in the Ying Tiantan in the future? Do you want the name of a prodigy?
"Too much deception?"
Shen Yichen sneered and continued to reply: "Xu Donghai, you have done this kind of thing to slander me behind your back more than once, right?" ”
"I didn't bother with you before, but today you're alluding to the invigilator that you've exceeded the limits of a war of words. So I pointed it out bluntly, is this also called deceiving you? ”
"If this is called bullying too much, then I am deceiving you, in terms of grades, literary style, poetry, which one of you can compare to me?"
Shen Yichen threw out a sentence, showing confidence and momentum, which simply made many candidates on the scene feel coerced.
It is worthy of the Winter Solstice Poetry Club to win the championship, the first two cases in a row, and the man who overwhelmed the talents of the heavens, it is really overwhelming!
Xu Donghai was also shocked by Shen Yichen's momentum for the first time. When he reacted, he tried to refute, but found that he couldn't speak.
Just as Shen Yichen said, the results of the imperial examination, the literary brilliance shown, and the world-famous poems are inferior to the other party in everything.
In the past, Shen Yichen didn't take these things, and it was okay to show off in front of him, if he really used them to bully, it seemed to be irrefutable.
Looking at Xu Donghai and opening his mouth, unable to say a word of response for a long time, Shen Yichen finally left only a contemptuous look, and then returned to the preface card.
Today, I came to test Xiucai, not to talk to this hairy boy.
"Is this the power of the case? I really didn't feel that Shen Yichen was so imposing before. ”
"In fact, Xu Donghai is also a prodigy who became famous at a young age, but what happened to him was Shen Yichen, how could he compare?"
"Xu Donghai is really kicked to the iron plate, the clan relatives of the Chengguo Mansion have been arrested for fraud, Shen Yichen has not yet had any evidence that he was involved, and it is too early to question the head of the case."
"yes, at least after checking."
It may be that Shen Yichen was too conspicuous and calm, and the sound of attack that had already been set off was actually silent at this moment.
After all, even an official prodigy like Xu Donghai was speechless by Shen Yichen, what kind of green onion is he, how can he compare with him?
After the examination shed square quieted down, the invigilator glanced at Shen Yichen, and there was much less doubt in his eyes, but more recognition.
With his years of experience in invigilation, he can face it as calmly as Shen Yichen, either his psychological quality is already strong and he is not surprised when he is not surprised, or he is not afraid of being questioned without fear in his heart.
Either way, it shows that this young man is unusual and a talent.
After the hustle and bustle, the body search was still continuing, and this time it was Zhu Qingyu's turn to stand in front of Shen Yichen.
At this time, Zhu Qingyu's face was bloodless, and he grabbed the test basket in his hand, and he didn't want to let go. His actions have almost made it clear to everyone that the way to cheat is on the test basket.
Sure enough, when the inspected military service took the test basket from Zhu Qingyu's hands, he found bamboo strips that were also carved with characters.
At the same time, Zhu Qingyu's exposure means that three of the four people in the Chengguo Mansion trial have been determined to be cheating, and only the last Shen Yichen is left, and there is still a body search to be checked.
"Chengguo Mansion has cheated in the family school, so it seems that Shen Yichen is difficult to avoid."
"Originally, I didn't really believe that Shen Yichen would cheat, but now this situation really has to make people suspicious."
"It depends on whether there is a problem with Shen Yichen's basketball, if the head of the case is cheating, I am afraid that a big case will be born."
"That's right, if the capital of the case falls, Cheng Guogong won't be able to suppress it."
Now the candidates for the college examination have almost locked their eyes on Shen Yichen, if he is also found to have a problem with the examination basket, the impact may be greater than the previous students of the Chengguo Mansion combined.
After all, now Shen Yichen doesn't dare to say that he is famous all over the world, at least he has no problem being famous in Tianfu, and he has even been involved in two cases, involving countless officials.
Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong is now a very popular minister, but it does not mean that he has the ability to control the government, since Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, there has been no more legitimate minister who covers the sky with one hand.
At that time, this imperial examination scandal, even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, may have to be involved.
Shen Yichen met everyone's eyes and walked in front of the military service for inspection, his heart was extremely open, and he was not afraid of any body search at all.
Taking off their clothes, the soldiers also took out the items in the examination basket one by one, focusing on inspecting the woven bamboo strips to see if there was anything unusual.
Even in order to ensure that there was no handle left, the outer curtain invigilator also took the initiative to come forward and check Shen Yichen's belongings together. Unlike the previous Zhu clan relatives, Shen Yichen's test basket bamboo strips were the same color, and there was no looseness.
Carefully checking against the light again, I didn't see any carved fonts on a single bamboo strip.
As for other aspects, Shen Yichen is more normal, and the suspicion of fraud can basically be ruled out.
Since the problem can't be found, then naturally he has to let it pass, and the chief examiner of the outer curtain nodded, signaling that Shen Yichen could put on his clothes, indicating that he was innocent.
This situation can be said to be unexpected by many people at the scene, after all, the Chengguo Mansion has already found out three people, according to inertial thinking, Shen Yichen is very likely to cheat.
Facts have proved that Shen Yichen did not participate in it, and the results he obtained were all based on his own talent and knowledge.
"Shen Yichen is actually fine, could it be that the Chengguo Mansion is cheating, but he just missed him?"
"Normal, have you forgotten that Shen Yichen is the son of a maid who has not entered the genealogy, seriously, he is not a relative of the Zhu family."
"It seems that Shen Yichen is really talented and learned, so in today's college exam, will there be the first person in Ying Tianfu to even have a small and medium-sized three yuan?"
With the discussion of the candidates, Shen Yichen crossed the dragon gate with the examination basket and walked into the Xiajiang examination shed. Prepare to go to Duzhi Building to meet Sun Tixue, the chief examiner of today's college exam.
It's just that as soon as Shen Yichen stepped into the examination booth, a military officer stopped in front of him and said, "Shen Gongzi, please wait a moment." ”
"Why?"
At this time, Shen Yichen's expression was a little solemn, no matter how noisy the candidates outside were, it didn't have much impact on him.
Now that he is doing military service, he wonders if the investigation and punishment of fraud has implicated him, and if it affects the normal conduct of the hospital examination, then the consequences will be serious.
"The chief examiner, Lord Sun, has an order to let Shen Gongzi wait in Longmen and take the exam."
Sitting in the test?
Suddenly hearing this unfamiliar term, Shen Yichen had some doubts in his mind, but he quickly reacted.
The so-called sitting in the hall, just like its name, is to put the candidate above the lobby to sit for the exam, which is equivalent to putting it under the nose of the examiner.
Before the Chengguo Mansion's imperial examination fraud was rumored, almost everyone in the entire Yingtianfu knew about it, and no one knew about it. Coupled with the pre-exam search, three of the four people in the Chengguo Mansion were found to be cheating tools, and only one of them was innocent.
However, this level of "innocence" is obviously not enough to block the mouths of the world.
According to the traditional unspoken rules of the imperial examination, Shen Yichen is the head of the government, and there is a high probability that he will be famous in the court examination. Even if the essay is well written, the chances of being the first to be the case are much greater than those of other candidates.
The influence brought by even the small and medium-sized three elements will inevitably push the speculation of fraud in the imperial examination to a peak again.
How do you avoid leaving people talking?
The best way is to sit in the hall and let Shen Yichen answer the questions in front of the examiner, which will completely eliminate the possibility of fraud.
At the same time, there is another advantage of taking the exam, that is, you directly have the opportunity to take the exam in the classroom, after all, you submit the paper directly to the examiner, and it is difficult for him not to look at it twice in advance.
Of course, there are drawbacks, just like the exam in the future, let the invigilator sit in front of you and watch and write. Even if there is no idea of cheating, the psychological pressure of being stared at can be all kinds of unnatural.
Therefore, those who can write good articles in the examination are not really talented and learned, and there is no criticism for winning the middle school!
It seems that Sun Tixue also knew about the search, and this is to help me correct my name......
Just as Shen Yichen thought, the fraud in the Chengguo Mansion was checked outside the door, and it had reached the ears of several examiners in the inner curtain.
So Sun Ding came up with a way to take the exam to help Shen Yichen block those right and wrong remarks after he won the test.
But in addition, Sun Ding did this to avoid suspicion for himself, after all, he and Shen Yichen's teacher Lin Zhen are good friends, and many people know it. Moreover, Shen Yichen was also taken care of at the Winter Solstice Poetry Conference, and it is easy for someone who has a heart to arrange some stories.
The way of taking the exam can be described as killing two birds with one stone, helping Shen Yichen and himself.
While Shen Yichen was waiting, many candidates also stepped into the dragon gate after the body search and inspection, and several people were also left behind to take the test.
Among them, Shen Yichen knows Xu Donghai of Zhaowen Academy, Luo Zheng of Jiangning County, and Qin Xusheng, the head of Shangyuan County. These people are old rivals, and they have competed all the way.
There is another person, Shen Yichen, who has also heard of it, whose name is Meng Fan.
This person is not ordinary, strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a native of the Ming Dynasty, but a descendant of Tusi who returned to Shun in the battle of the southwest Luchuan in the sixth year of orthodoxy, and was placed in Yingtianfu.
It's just that unlike those pure Tusi descendants who are not educated, Meng Fan has a Han surname and is proficient in Sinology, and he was admitted to Tongsheng in the seventh year of orthodoxy.
But after all, he is a descendant of the border toast, and his momentum is always a little out of place with others, so he has always been alone.
What is the purpose of Sun Tixue to put this group of people together for the exam today?
