Chapter 209: Second place in the provincial examination

Gao Yanei was pierced through the chest by an arrow.

The people in the temple were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

Lin Chong was also stupid.

Looked at the arrow in amazement.

He couldn't have imagined that

At this moment, someone actually shot a cold arrow and killed Gao Yanei, and he immediately thought that if Gao Yanei died, then he might also be implicated.

A few dogs in Gao Ya saw that the blood in Gao Ya's chest was spurting wildly and dying, and several people ran away with people together, ready to find a place to seek medical treatment.

Come to the medical center.

The doctor only looked at it and said, "It's hopeless, it's cold."

Gao Yanei was shot, shocking the entire Bianjing, although everyone knew that Gao Yanei was cunning and evil, but after all, he was the son of Gao Taiwei, and now being killed is a big deal.

However, many people also secretly applauded.

That scourge is good to die.

It's a delight.

Taiwei Mansion.

Gao Yu looked at Gao Yanei, who was lying on the board and was already cold, his face was full of anger.

There is no distress.

He can't have children himself, and after recognizing this son just so that he can have one, he naturally knows that this guy's usual actions have ruined his reputation a lot, but since he has already recognized it, he can only let him go.

Although he also looked down on this godson, he would never allow anyone to kill him, which was a serious provocation to his own captain.

I picked up the arrow next to it and looked at it, but I didn't see any problems, just ordinary folk arrows, and there were no marks.

"Is Bianjing Mansion Yin here?"

"Here comes the sir."

"Tell him to investigate this matter thoroughly and find the murderer for me."

"And that Lin Chong, my son was shot dead when he clashed with him, and he couldn't escape his involvement, so let the Bianjing Yamen interrogate him strictly to see if it was his accomplices."

"Also, send our people to investigate who did this."

"And the afterlife, you can look at the arrangement."

Several orders were given in a row.

Gao Yu dropped the arrow and turned to leave, as for Yin Gao Yu of Bianjing Mansion, he didn't see it, and he wouldn't participate in Gao Yanei's funeral, the living Gao Yanei could pass on his ancestry, and the dead Gao Yanei was a useless corpse.

It's good to find a way to take in another son in the future.

However, Lin Chong was unlucky, and was interrogated by the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Lin Chong felt very wronged, his wife was molested, and he didn't beat that Gao Yanei in the past, and he was ready to settle the matter, who knew that at this time, an arrow would fly over, killing this Gao Ya ***, and implicating himself in it.

Regarding Lin Chong's statement, the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion also agreed, but still put Lin Chong in prison.

An in-depth investigation followed, including some visitors to the temple that day, but nothing was found.

It's too strange.

No one saw anyone with any weapons, and no one fled in a panic afterwards, the arrow appeared as if out of thin air, and in the end even the investigators wondered if the arrow had flown from somewhere else and happened to hit the unlucky guy Gao Yanai.

No murderer was investigated.

This matter became an unsolved case.

And Lin Chong has been imprisoned in the prison as an accomplice of the suspect, and it is just a matter of imprisonment, what makes Lin Chong even more uncomfortable is that the Lin family came to visit and told Lin Chong that he had been expelled from the palace and was no longer the head of the forbidden army.

And without Gao Yu to speak, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen would not let him go easily, and he would be far away from being imprisoned now.

Lin Chong's heart was like ashes.

After Lin Yi killed Gao Yanei, he and his classmates converged and went back to the inn together, as for Gao Yanei's affairs, they also heard about it, and they kept talking about it on the road, but no one doubted Lin Yi.

Or rather,

No one in the entire Bianjing doubted Lin Yi, because he and that Gao Yanei could be said to have no intersection.

Who knows Lin

Yi, a traverser, killed Gao Yanai just because he hated him, and he also had the ability to hide bows and arrows.

It's February.

During this time, the hustle and bustle of the capital was much less, and there were originally many candidates who wore them around, visiting the Qinglou to participate in the poetry meeting or something, but now that the exam is approaching, they are all nervous, and many people return to the inn to read books all day.

Lin Yi is similar.

In addition to going to Cui Niannu's side every once in a while, most of the time he also reads books in the inn, Cui Niannu also helped Lin Yi get a set of "Past Imperial Examination Jinshi Answer Collection", this thing is very precious, many people can't buy it with money, Lin Yi has benefited a lot from it.

During this period,

Xia Tingzhi, Zhao Yuanbi and others also trusted the relationship, and found relatives who were officials in the capital, these people were born in the scholars, participated in the imperial examination, and spent money to explain the imperial examination process and precautions to them.

February 12.

The day of the provincial test has arrived.

It was very cold in the morning, the frost was filled, the branches on the roadside were full of frost flowers, and the lifters who rushed to the examination got dark, set off with food boxes and stationery, and came to the examination hall early.

Outside the Gongyuan,

Densely packed with people.

One by one, they were so cold that they couldn't stop stamping their feet and rubbing their hands.

Groups of three or five gathered together and whispered about what the exam questions would be this time.

Lin Yixin said that it is good that it is the Great Song Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will not sleep in the tribute courtyard, if it is the Ming Dynasty, it will lock you in the hut for three days, eating, drinking and Lazar are all in it, which is definitely a great torment.

"Dangdang~~!"

The sound of bells and drums rang out.

The gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and all the people who had just squatted or stood or talked or chatted stopped, and two teams of forbidden troops came out, and an official stood on a high platform and shouted "Candidates enter", and the candidates began to enter the Gongyuan one after another.

The chief examiner of this examination is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy chief examiner is the scholar of the Xuanhe Temple, in addition to more than a dozen other officials.

The officials took the lead and led the candidates to worship Master Kong Sheng, and then began to search the body and officially enter the examination position, Lin Yi got his exam card, looked at the number, No. 68, Lin Yi looked at the position and looked for it.

Sit tight.

Knock on the cloud board.

hair curls,

After getting the paper, Lin Yi glanced at the questions, the types of provincial exams and state exams are almost the same, classics, poems, strategies, and current affairs.

Today's first session is Jingyi and Poetry, which belong to the category of basic questions.

After that, the strategy is discussed for a day, and the current affairs are planned for a day.

Although Lin Yi was confident, he still answered the questions seriously, not daring to slack off in the slightest, wasn't it just for this moment to prepare for many days.

suddenly

There was a commotion in the distance.

It led a lot of people to look up.

At this time, the patrol came over and shouted to everyone: "Answer the questions seriously, someone was cheated and forked out just now, don't make a mistake when you wait."

No matter how strict the prison is, there will be people who will take risks, and the means are also varied, but once they are caught, the consequences can be very serious, ranging from several suspension of the examination to lifelong prohibition of the imperial examination.

Lin Yi didn't care about this, lowered his head and continued to answer the question.

There are a total of five questions in Jingyi, the amount of questions is very large, in previous years' exams, there were always many people who could not finish the answers, and finally begged the examiner for grace and then were forked out.

The five scripture questions were finally answered, and Lin Yi looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

He took out the food box, took out a box of pastries and took a bite inside, took out a bamboo thermos pot, poured himself a cup of tea, cushioned his stomach, and the examiner and the inspector went over to see that Lin Yi was eating and didn't care, this was allowed by the examination room.

After the examiner left, Lin Yi had an extra hot chicken leg in his hand, and took a big bite, and a candidate opposite Lin Yi looked at Lin Yi in surprise, and said that this guy really brought it all and used it as a picnic.

After Lin Yi finished eating, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Begin to answer the poem.

After the reform of Wang Anshi's imperial examination, now the imperial examination no longer attaches importance to poetry, before

Poetry is so important that it is now only one of the questions in the exam.

This couldn't help Lin Yi, and wrote another sycophant poem, this kind of poetry examiner would never dare to give a low score.

If the examiner gives a low score, if he is said to be disrespectful to the emperor in his heart, he has no place to cry if he is said to have disrespect for the emperor, so this kind of poem written by Lin Yi has the most stable score.

If the poetry is 100 points, he is definitely more than 85 points.

Evening.

The cloud board is ringing.

Indicates the end of the day's exams.

Start winding.

The examination room was lively again.

Someone didn't answer the request for a moment of grace, but the examiner didn't give it a chance at all.

Lin Yi and the others walked out of the examination room.

When I walked to the inn, I met a few classmates, and talked about the exam questions while walking on the road.

After returning to the inn for dinner, Lin Yi fell asleep directly, and many people were still reading books with books that night, sharpening their guns.

Following

Examining the Theory of Strategy.

There are three in total.

That's a lot of questions.

And it's very difficult to write every one of them.

There were many more people who did not finish the answer when they turned in the paper than the day before.

Last day.

Exam Strategy.

Current affairs policy involves the examination of current politics, such as water conservancy and farmland, domestic and foreign affairs, officialdom and official governance, finance, taxation and treasury, and so on.

This writing content is a test of students' knowledge of current affairs, not to read a few four books and five classics can be answered, in previous years, the current affairs and policies of two or three questions, this year there are three questions, many candidates lament bad luck after seeing it.

The larger the amount of questions, the higher the requirements for students, the more difficult it is to solve the questions, write arguments, and if you want to write a good topic, it will not be less than seven or eight hundred words, which must be completed in one day.

Even if Lin Yi had the ability to remember and the skills of a calligraphy master, he felt very nervous about completing these three current affairs, and he didn't finish writing them until the end.

When winding.

There was a mourning in the examination room.

After going out, Xia Tingzhi, Zhao Yuanbi and others saw Lin Yi, "Brother Dongyang, how is the answer to the current affairs?"

"Anyway, it's all written, and as for whether it's good or bad, it's up to the examiner to evaluate it, what about you?" Lin Yi asked a few people.

Xia Tingzhi spread his hands and said helplessly: "I only finished answering two questions, and I don't have time to write the last question at all, it seems that I will only fight again in three years."

"I didn't do very well in the exam, the third question was just finished, but I didn't have time to pass it well, I just forced it to write, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win." Zhao Yuanbi said.

Lin Yi smiled lightly, "Since the exam is over, don't think about it so much, and wait for a few days to release the list."

A few people also knew that it was useless to think too much now, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

I've been very tired these days,

Back at the inn, a few people ate something, washed up and fell asleep.

Lin Yi did not go back to the inn, but ran to Cui Niannu, who missed it for many days, and after bathing and changing clothes and serving the beauties here, he fell asleep with the beauties in his arms.

End of exam.

The examiners got busy.

Obfuscated name,

Primary screening.

Copy the scroll.

Select the best ones and hand them over to the examiner.

Ninety percent of the people have been removed from the process.

The main examination and the deputy examination are selected from the best.

Finally, the roster was surveyed and the people who were selected for this pilot examination were selected, of course, these had to be handed over to the emperor, especially the top ten examination papers they selected, which would generally be read by the emperor, and then the provincial yuan would be appointed.

Lin Yi's volume is among these ten volumes.

However, it is not the first place set by the examiner.

Lin Yi still seeks a stable word in this exam, whether it is a policy or a current policy, he answers in a decent manner, without extreme words, and occasionally touts today's prosperous remarks, of course, the proportion is also just right.

There is no semen

is gorgeous,

But it is also full of flowers.

The probability of selection for such an examination paper is very large, and there is more chance than those who go off the rails, after all, the examiner has to take a great risk when choosing those extreme articles.

You choose an article like this,

Just show that this is what you say, or you will choose him.

And when the extreme article is seen by the emperor, what will the emperor think of you, isn't this uncomfortable for yourself.

And Lin Yi's article is just right.

The ten examination papers given to Zhao Ji, although they are all named, are all original papers, and there is no need to copy the papers when they are shown to the emperor.

Although Zhao Ji is mediocre, he also attaches importance to the imperial examination, after all, it is only once every three years, and he is the emperor of literature, his lack of learning and unskillful is in the governance of the country, and no one dares to say that he is not good at literature.

Read on article by article.

Zhao Ji is quite satisfied with this year's candidates' articles.

And when he saw one of them, his eyes lit up.

It's a beautiful regular script.

The font is handsome and beautiful, radiant, and the law is strict, does not exceed the rules, and sees the chic and innocent charm in the middle of the dignified and solemn.

He liked the words at a glance.

And he also saw that these words should be written by the candidate named Lin Yi, although most of the words that Lin Yi gave to Master Li were calligraphy, but the line was not separated, and the context was completely unified, and Zhao Ji's calligraphy could be recognized by everyone at a glance.

Look at the article again.

There is nothing unusual about being upright, but it can also be seen that Lin Yi is a stable person, and Song Huizong is very satisfied with Lin Yi's answer.

Why are you satisfied?

Because there are often talented people, it is easiest to be arrogant, Lin Yi's poetry, calligraphy, painting, and music have been recognized by him, Song Huizong is a person who is above the top, and it is rare to get his recognition, Lin Yi is one of them, which is the biggest affirmation of Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi wrote any wild wave articles, he was not surprised at all, but he was pleasantly surprised when he wrote a correct article.

Such people.

is steady, talented, and so exquisite, and Lin Yi has also asked people to investigate, and he has nothing to do with any forces he doesn't like, and he is the person he can use.

"Well, put it in second place."

Zhao Ji said to the chief examiner.

"Yes, official."

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly took the volume and glanced at Lin Yi's volume, which he was also very impressed.

The word is good,

When he saw the paper, he was also fascinated by the candidate's words.

As for the article,

Decent and peaceful.

There is one in the middle of the day.

So when he submitted the ranking, this paper was ranked fifth, and now the official family is named second, perhaps this word is right for the official family's mind.

But no matter what.

He must have obediently listened to the emperor.

Five days later.

The Gongyuan released the list.

Countless people are crowded here, as well as their family servants, and there are 10,000 or 20,000 people outside the Gongyuan Square.

Several of Lin Yi's classmates couldn't see Lin Yi, and they all discussed:

"Did you see Brother Dongyang?"

"I didn't see it, he didn't seem to be here."

"Since the end of the exam, Brother Dongyang has moved to live with Miss Niannu, so he is so unhappy and envious of me."

"He's not going to be waiting for news from Miss Niannu, is he?"

Really let them guess correctly, Lin Yi really didn't come, he knew how chaotic it was here, anyway, the result was already doomed, and it would be worse if it was early or late.

Finally opened.

When the huge imperial plaque was posted on the wall of the tribute courtyard, people crowded forward even more, and if it wasn't for the forbidden army, there might have been a stampede.

"First place, and the state high."

"Second place, Enzhou Lin Yi."

"Ah, Lin

Brother Yi took the second place in the exam, which is really amazing."

Cui Niannu had already sent a servant to keep an eye here, and when the servant saw that Lin Yilin's son's name was on the list, and it was the second place, he jumped up happily and ran back with a roar, because he knew that his reward this time would definitely be indispensable.

This servant is still at the corner of the street,

And he cried out with a loud voice.

"Master Lin Yilin, the second place in high school."

"Master Lin Yilin, the second place in high school."

Just shouted all the way into Huaju Yashe, his voice was three floors higher, and he shouted all the way to Cui Niannu's courtyard.

His shout attracted a lot of people, especially the girls in the courtyard, who also chased after Lin Yilin when they heard that Lin Yilin Gongzi had won the second place in the exam.

This time, the Huaju House was completely lively.
