Chapter 283, a test through the ages
"You don't pursue it, what do you think you are?" The warrior monk's temper was already bad, and after losing the Dharma Protector, the anger was even greater. .novel.com//
Ning Caichen, who wanted to leave, stopped, looked at him coldly and said, "Hmph! It's not the old monk's Arhat Daoguo, do you think you can force me to cooperate? What am I?
Anyone can get angry. From beginning to end, they were calculating themselves and pushing themselves. Even when they see success, they not only kick themselves away, but also frame themselves.
Don't say it's angry, just kill them, and no one will gossip.
But in the face of such a crazy martyr. What's the point of killing it again?
The warrior monk said, "Oh, I can't see that you have a small Chenglong, and you can still see the Tao of the Tai Elder." β
Was it the protection of Luohan Daoguo that made him so arrogant?"What an idiot!"
"What did you say?" the warrior monk rushed in front of Ning Caichen, with a lot of intentions.
Ning Caichen didn't make a move, but Lin Chong was on guard all of a sudden.
Ning Caichen looked at the thin old monk and said, "Don't you take him back?" You know that even if I kill him, he will be guilty of the following crimes, and no one will help him out. β
"Kill me, it's up to you?" the warrior monk was visibly amused.
"Amitabha, let's go!" said the thin monk.
"Yes. "He still has to listen to Elder Tai's orders.
The old monk said again: "Lord Ning, my Buddha Gate Garan's Inner Dan will be handed over to you, and I should make amends this time." β
"Too Elder!"
"Amitabha. β
Ning Caichen ignored him. What kind of reparation? There is no sincerity at all. It's said to be the Dharma Protector, but is there anyone who really doesn't know?
When he returned to the Great Xiangguo Temple, the warrior monk was dissatisfied and said, "Elder Tai, why? Why are you so evasive of him?"
"Why?" said the foreign monk, "because he has a connection with Guanyin in the South China Sea." β
"What! He's a Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Feeling a little weakened, the warrior monk said, "So what? Even a bodhisattva can't force an arhat. β
The thin monk said, "Amitabha, the poor monk is no longer an arhat. β
"What?"
"There will be a price for everything, not to mention such a major event as attacking the Emperor of Heaven, the poor monk will die tonight. β
"Amitabha. "Daxiangguo Temple is sad.
After dealing with the major event of his death, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple said: "We have done it. It's hard to go it alone, thinking only about the great gains, but forgetting that others are not stupid. Since he could see the harm to him after this matter was successful, how could he not resist? If it weren't for Elder Tai's decisive sacrifice and his share of the merits this time, maybe there would have been even more ugly changes. β
"Amitabha, the abbot does not need to blame himself. Escorting the real dragon back to the palace, this matter is meritorious to my Daxiangguo Temple, which is enough to protect the incense of this temple. β
"Amitabha. β
This was their only relief.
What they share is just the salvation of today, but what they get is the gratitude of the next emperor. Anyway, Zhao Ji doesn't like Buddhism, so if he divides it, he will divide it. They weren't worried about this, because people would always die, and the same was true for the Zhao Song official family.
The blue wolf couple and Ning Caichen held a small funeral for them. (Baidu search, watch the latest update of this book)
If the wolf had resisted, he would not have died, but he allowed his wife to bite him to death.
Life cannot be born together, but death is death.
In the peach blossom forest, there is such a small grave mound, which belongs to the husband and wife, sleeping in the same cave. This is also what Ning Caichen can do.
For Lin Chong's help, Ning Caichen had nothing to give, so he sent two jars of fairy mandarins. Whether it sells or eats, it won't cause him much trouble. ...,
Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong's rewards came down, one hundred taels of gold, and nothing else. The Zhao and Song royal families were still so wary of military attachΓ©s.
But Ning Caichen was silent, and no reward was issued.
Compared with the two, Lin Chong and they have nothing to disagree with.
The news from Master Li was that the Zhao official family deliberately suppressed the reward for Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen is a literati, and Zhao Ji doesn't want to make Ning Caichen a fortunate minister because of his reward. However, Ning Caichen's rescue work, he remembered it in his heart.
Although he didn't remember how to save the driver, but the death of so many guards must have been very tragic at that time, and he was even more interested in Ning Caichen, a talented man in Hangzhou.
Such a talent, where can he take the road of luck, thus ruining his life.
Such a statement......
Destroy your sister!
Ning Caichen really couldn't calm down. Gao Yu can be a captain when he kicks football, but what's wrong with Xingjin? There is always the word "enter".
If you don't take the test, you can achieve your goal. Exams or something, no love, no love very.
But the image of his generation of talents is so good that no one in the world has doubted him. So when he was busy with the drinking order at many parties in the same year, he was fighting to the death with Wen Yanwen.
The day of the entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and scholars from afar have also rushed to Beijing. The inn in Jingshi was overcrowded for a while.
The entire Bianjing City was full of scholars.
And because Mao Shixue constantly had to visit and socialize, the scholars all knew that he would marry Nie Xiaoqian as his wife after winning the championship. Among the scholars, I am afraid that only Ning Caichen is the only one who doesn't know about this. for he was desperately awriting.
It's finally time for the exam. The scholars carried baskets, in which they were clothed with pen and ink, and food prepared for hunger.
Is it him? Why is he here?
If you want to say that you will be unhappy when you see the scientific examination in the same year, only Mao Shixue will be unhappy.
Ning Caichen didn't see him at all. Because in addition to Ning Caichen's scientific research, he also heard about the Queen Mother's birthday. Due to the birthday of the Queen Mother, many officials will return to Beijing to celebrate her birthday, and Wang Xiao's enemies will also come. So others will be fine after the exam, but after he finishes the exam, he still has to judge the evil officials at night, at least to know where the bodies of Wang Xiao's comrades-in-arms are.
If there is no way to enter the earth, they will not settle down, let alone be reincarnated.
Ning Caichen was really busy.
was too busy, so he didn't notice Mao Shixue and his dissatisfaction at all.
Mao Shixue came to the top three this time. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that Ning Caichen's appearance had greatly reduced his chances of winning.
If such a person came in the same year, if he could still be happy, then it would be hell.
"Did someone hand me a sign today to participate in the scientific expedition?".
"Back to Your Majesty, a Hangzhou scholar handed over the sign. β
This brand is easy to give, but civil officials always need to say words, how did you get it? Why did you get it?
These need to be spoken.
It can't be said that I spent the night in a prostitute's house, and when she mentioned it, I gave it.
Although this is true, it is clearly an unspeakable fact.
Ben also had to think of an excuse to promote meritocracy. It's just such a coincidence, with such a life-saving grace. You don't have to look for a reason to do so.
The merit of saving the driver, not to mention just giving a brand to participate in the scientific examination directly, is to reward an official position on the spot, and the civil official can only pinch his nose and admit it.
"Did you go in?".
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
"Good, good!" he was very proud, as an emperor often let his courtiers refute his will, he was not the first, nor would he be the last. But the emperor who refutes the will, but has a good attitude, and thinks about where he fell and where he got up, he is a rare animal.
Just like now, he is extremely happy that his brand is useful. ...,
"Someone, pen and ink waiting, this time I want to come up with a question. As soon as he was happy, his literati blood gushed up. Regardless of the fact that there was still a scientific examination over there, he immediately waved his pen and re-came up with the question.
As soon as the exam started in the examination room, the exam questions were changed, and the news came out. Cai Jing and Gao Yu were both scared.
Not for anything else, as a frequent visitor to officialdom to make money. Scientific expedition, such a national talent ceremony, how could they miss it. This year's exam questions, they also did not sell less.
The official family suddenly changed the exam questions, and they thought that they were selling the exam questions, so that the official family found out.
"It's this Ning Caichen again!" After sending the news to the palace, they learned that the cause of all this was just a scholar, although it was a pity that the money was lost this time, but they didn't move Ning Caichen's mind, because they knew that since the official family thought of a person like this, it would be difficult for this person to be underdeveloped. In order to offend such future celebrities with some silver, they are not Cai Jing and Gao Yu.
In the examination room, there are all kinds of life, and many people are smiling at the first paper, which is the one who bought the exam questions, thinking that they will not lose their name again this time.
But before the pen could move, the scroll was taken back, and some people's faces were even more terrifying than that of a dead mother.
Ning Caichen opened his exam paper, and he was also very curious about what kind of exam questions could make the candidates so hungry to death.
There is only one sentence on the white rice paper: "Horseshoe incense when stepping on flowers." β
It turned out to be him?
Ning Caichen smiled, because he happened to know this question, and even knew the answer. However, this was originally a question for the painter's exam, but I didn't expect it to come here.
Now that he knows, Ning Caichen didn't waste time, and immediately sharpened the ink and painted.
When all the scholars looked at each other and were at a loss, someone moved their pen, which is really not a simple matter.
This poem is not difficult to understand, but it says that after returning from the trip, Yaxing is poor.
But what is this to write about? Fill it out, post a poem, or a comment?
This sentence has no beginning and no end, even the examiner was stumped, and immediately sent someone to the palace to inquire.
Zhao Ji only had one sentence: "Draw it." β
Zhao Ji is a double masterpiece of calligraphy and painting, he wrote the question and asked the scholars to draw, and the examiners thought that this was definitely his temperament, not intentionally embarrassing the scholars. Moreover, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and archery are the six arts of a gentleman, and they are not off-topic.
As a result, Ning Caichen's crossing led to another major change in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
But who cares?
Although Cai Jing and the others knew that the official family was only asking for the exam questions for Ning Caichen, who would dare to say that the official family did not know about the fact that they had betrayed the exam questions.
Secrets? Isn't it secret to sell forbidden army equipment? Officials don't know about it.
Cai Jing didn't come out, which of the corrupt officials under him dared to move. And some upright officials are eager for the officials to change the subject, and they will not stand up and speak.
There was no one on either side, and the matter was settled. So there was the weirdest scene in the field, the scholar painting.
Poems, comments, these are easy to write, but how to draw?
"Flowers", "Return", and "Horseshoe" are all easy to express here, but "incense" is an intangible thing, which is difficult to express with paintings. Although many scholars have the reputation of being a good hand, they look at each other and have no way to write.
Some of the paintings are horseback riders returning from spring, pinching a flower in their hands; some are still stained with a few petals on the horse's hooves, but they can't express the word "incense".
Is it necessary to smell the flowers when there are flowers? Paper flowers, cloth flowers, and stinky flowers are also fragrant?
After the painting, they themselves were not satisfied.
"Brother Kong Lin, this time the scholars are difficult. "Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the chief examiner has always been a waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites has always been the Qingshui Yamen, and it is easy to have a scientific examination, and the students want to visit the teacher, but Cai Jing and they are selling the exam questions to collect their own money, how can the people in the Ministry of Rites be satisfied. ...,
He said that he was talking about the scholars, but he was not talking about Cai Jing and them.
His Majesty suddenly changed the exam questions, and they were the happiest people.
People bought your questions, and now they can't send them. This silver, do you want to retreat or not? Retreat, work in vain. If you don't retreat, that's better, you are offended by the scholars in this world, and most of the people who can afford the exam questions are from good families, that is to say, they are gentry. The gentry are the pillars of the country, and if you offend them, do you still want to do it?
Naturally, there are Cai Jing and their people in this examination room, otherwise Cai Jing would not have gotten the news so quickly.
They didn't want the people who always listened to this ritual department to gloat, and they also made trouble for them: "My lord, the scholars who have been admitted in this way have enough painting skills, but they can only learn ......."
Aren't you gloating?
Looking for an official family will arouse the interest of the official family. If you don't look for it, then the one who will be admitted is the painter.
They really didn't feel sorry for this. "What's so difficult about this? Wouldn't it be enough to add another palace test? No, this squire heard that there was a shortage of people in the painting academy, so he gave him a seven-grade and used it as a painter. β
After saying that, he was very proud. I don't know if our Ministry of Rites is a lip service?
Although we don't deal with officials for many years like the household department, it is not difficult for us to arrange a class of scholars.
The examiners have said so, and they really can't help it. They can only say in their hearts: Cai Xiang, we have no choice. This dead old man is not fooled, he will not talk to the official family about this.
They couldn't stir up the exam, so Cai Jing wouldn't go to Zhao Ji. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Try it with people who are not involved in this matter, even if the official family knows, it is impossible to get angry with innocent people. I will never step on thunder, there is no need for this.
The bitter ones are still those below who have just gotten on the boat and are ready to take this opportunity to make a big profit. They were in direct contact with the scholars, and they were also the most dangerous. The officials arrested people, and they couldn't escape. If the exam questions are wrong, they can't run.
It is said that after the undergraduate degree, the idle brokers in Bianjing were empty.
