"It seems that this time, I don't have this chance!"

"This is the third time I've taken the exam, and if I can't pass the exam again this time, I think I won't have a chance with this jinshi in my life!"

Seeing others playing and playing, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe said with emotion.

According to the proportion of candidates admitted to the examination, each time you take the entrance examination, the hope of admission is smaller.

This person has already participated in the examination three times, and even if he takes the examination again, the probability of being selected by the examination is much smaller.

It is precisely because of this consideration that this person thinks that after he has no hope of taking the test this time, he is afraid that he can only wait for such a vacancy to come as a person in the future, become a petty official, and then end his life.

After all, the development of the two identities of Juren and Jinshi in their careers can be said to be worlds apart.

Although some people can rely on their own abilities to break through in the officialdom even if they are from a high background.

But most people want to excel in their careers, and different starts have different futures.

This is like the academic qualifications of later generations, to put it bluntly, it is just a piece of paper.

Although this piece of paper may divide some of the talents of the person.

But in the final analysis, judging a person's ability by a piece of paper is one-sided.

However, the overall order of society needs this kind of one-sidedness.

After all, the higher the academic qualifications, the higher the probability of talent.

Similarly, those Fortune 500 companies who want to find talents, they will only choose world-renowned schools, not ordinary schools.

This is the case in any era, so it is a person who can serve as the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet and who can enter the cabinet.

Jinshi is a must!

And among the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua among the Jinshi, their chances are greater.

The reality is so cruel.

What poor scholar wouldn't want to go further?

That's why when the man lamented that he didn't have the title of Jinshi in this life, he would seem so lonely.

The sound of the report came from afar one after another, and the scene of "a few happy families, a few sad families" was constantly staged.

There are also people on the list of Jiangsu and Zhejiang government halls, and even the number of candidates on the list is gradually catching up with or even surpassing the number of candidates on the list of other halls.

The heritage of the great province of culture and education has all exploded at this moment.

"Good news for the master of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Zhao Zhentianming, the ninety-eighth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

When the words fell, Fang Caina still sighed that he might be a scholar who had no fate with Jinshi in this life, and his whole body trembled, and he almost couldn't stand.

I almost fell out.

"Who...... Who is Master Zhao? ”

"Where is Master Zhao?"

Someone looked towards the hall of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, wanting to find the figure of this scholar on the list.

At this time, the soldier in the hall who almost fell stood up tremblingly and said, "It's me, I'm Zhao Tianming, I'm Zhao Tianming!" ”

"It turns out that Master Zhao is here, Master Zhao, this is your golden book!"

"Please take care of it!"

"Congratulations to Master Zhao!" The messenger handed him the golden book with Zhao Tianming written on it.

When Zhao Tianming took the golden book, he only heard a crisp sound of "plopping".

The man suddenly knelt on the ground, and he actually cried bitterly in front of everyone, "Hahaha, hahaha! ”

"I'm in, I'm in!"

"I'm hit, I'm going to be an official, I'm going to be an official!"

"I'm going home! I want everyone to know that I have won and that I am going to be an official! ”

Originally, this person didn't have much hope to be on the list, but when he heard his name on the list, he didn't fall in the palace test.

In other words, his title of Jinshi is a certainty.

No wonder this person is so crazy, so crazy.

Just looking at this person's expression, Huang Tinghui saw a little bit of Fan Jinzhong's shadow.

Imperial Examination!

It's crazy stuff.

Just when Huang Tinghui was thinking wildly, a panicked voice suddenly came.

"Oh no, no!"

"This Master Zhao fainted, fainted!"

Hearing this voice, everyone present became even more confused.

Huang Tinghui naturally did not sit idly by at this time.

On a day of great joy, it is not uncommon for people to be overly excited and have great sorrow.

Huang Tinghui learned some traditional first aid methods from the little girl, and faced Zhao Tianming, who fainted because of excessive excitement.

I saw Huang Tinghui pinching his midpart, and then asked Tang Zihu to find a basin of cold water and splash it on his face.

Seeing that the person was still awake, Huang Tinghui could only use chopsticks to pry open his teeth and pour water into his mouth.

At this time, this Zhao Tianming woke up leisurely.

"I got it, didn't I?"

"I was hit, I seem to remember that I was hit!"

The first thing this person said when he woke up was to repeatedly confirm that he had been hit.

This scene fell in Huang Tinghui's eyes, which is really ironic.

"Master Zhao has been hit!"

"The ninety-eighth tribute in the high school exam."

Hearing the informant's confirmation, the man slowly eased up.

Everyone surrounded this guy, for fear that this person would get excited and faint himself again.

Fortunately, after this person experienced it once, his ability to bear it was much stronger.

He immediately gave the reporter some silver taels, and the temperament and demeanor of the whole person changed at that moment.

You must know that this person was also an unknown scholar in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion Hall before, and now he has become a quasi-jinshi, and the confidence in his heart is naturally different.

"Good news for the master of Fumin Mansion, Lin Zhen Tianxing, the thirtieth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news Huguang Mansion, Zhang Jingren, the nineteenth tribute in the high school examination."

"The Holy Upper Hall of Jinluan!

……

"Good news to the master of Jiangnan Mansion, Liu Zhen respects, the eleventh tribute in the high school will be examined."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

As the rankings get higher and higher, they get higher and higher.

The crowd also became more and more nervous.

However, some people who are not confident in their talents and learning have also given up some luck at this time.

They are just looking forward to the next exam, and they can play better and be able to win the gold list.

As for the others, although they don't have much hope, but the top ten in the test have not been announced, they always have a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, at this time, although they are ready to fall off the list in their hearts, they still hope for a miracle.

I hope that my name will appear in the top 10 of the examination.

Soon, however, their hopes were shattered by the unforgiving reality.

"Good news for the master of Jinxi Mansion, Zhang Zhentaixing, the eighth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

……

"Good news Huguang Mansion master, Zhang Zhilingzhong, the sixth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

The reporter's voice had become a little hoarse, but the more he got to this point, the harder he shouted.

After all, the more you go to the back, the more you are the highest-ranking master.

At this time, he must not lose their face, and he must shout louder so that more people can hear his voice.

In this way, these masters can be happier, and their rewards can be more.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"I'm going to try the sixth place, it seems that we are out of play!"

"Prepare for the next list, I'm afraid there is no hope for this list!"

There are only five spots left, and no one thinks their talent will be among them.

Therefore, they are also completely dead to this heart.

Even Tang Zihu sighed, he thought that he was afraid that he had no hope of being on the list.

Also, his father went through two examinations before he was admitted to the Jinshi.

I haven't studied well during this time, and it's normal that I can't be on the list now.

However, Tang Zihu did not regret it, he knew that what his father said was right.

It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

The trip to the north made Tang Zihu understand too much.

It also made Tang Zihu grow a lot.

As for the test, he has the idea that if he can be on the list, he will forget if he can't.

Just when Tang Zihu was about to accept his fate, a voice suddenly came.

"Good news for the master of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Tang Zhenzi Middle School, the sixth tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

When the words fell, Tang Zihu trembled, and he looked at the people around him in disbelief.

After he reacted, he couldn't stop shaking Huang Tinghui, "Tinghui? ”

"Got it?"

"Fourth place, fourth place?" Tang Zihu asked with some uncertainty.

Looking at this guy's unbelievable look, Huang Tinghui said to this guy angrily: "Why don't you pinch your face and see if it hurts?" ”

"If it doesn't hurt, then you're not dreaming!"

Although Huang Tinghui's mentality has always been good, he has reached the fourth place on the trial release list, and he has not heard his name yet.

Even Huang Tinghui is not sure whether he can pass this test and whether he can get a good ranking in this test.

The sound of the report in the distance still did not stop, and soon the third place was released, and the atmosphere was also set to the extreme.

Just when Huang Tinghui sighed, thinking that he should have failed this time.

Suddenly, a voice came, "That is Master Huang, that is Huang Tinghui, Master Huang?" ”

Listening to the man's voice, Huang Tinghui walked forward, "I am Huang Tinghui!" ”

"You're Master Huang?"

"Congratulations to Master Huang!"

"Good news for the master of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion, Huang Tinghui, the second place tribute in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

When the words fell, everyone looked at the place where Huang Tinghui was.

Will try the second place!

It's just one step away from that meeting.

It is worthy of the Duke of Xie Yuan of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions!

"Congratulations to Brother Tinghui, congratulations to Brother Tinghui for winning the second place in the examination!"

"Brother Tinghui is really talented, really talented, he can win the second place in this test so easily!"

"Admiration, admiration!"

Huang Tinghui won the second place in the general examination, according to the rules of the palace examination.

In the palace examination, he has the opportunity to compete for the top candidate.

Therefore, everyone looked at Huang Tinghui with great admiration and congratulated Huang Tinghui.

But now they are even more curious about who the first place will be.

Just as everyone was speculating, the voice of the person who reported the report came.

"Good news for the master of Beizhili Mansion, Shen Bugao, the first place in the high school examination."

"The upper saint of the Jinluan Temple!"

At this time, everyone reacted, and it turned out that the first place in this test was taken by the son of the second assistant of the dynasty.

If the ordinary people of Pingtou would take the title of Huiyuan, the scholars would not have too many opinions.

But when the son of the second assistant became the Huiyuan who would take the test, naturally many people were not convinced.

"It's all the second assistant lord who is favored by the saint today, so it seems that the rumors are really true!"

"That is, if this person is not the son of the second assistant, this title of Huiyuan will definitely not fall on his head!"

"The things in the court are just sophisticated!"

There was a lot of discussion among the scholars, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Jifu's son won the first place in the examination.

However, Huang Tinghui felt that it was nothing, after all, as long as he was on the list of the exams, it would be fine.

In this way, I don't have to wait another three years to take the next exam.

And as long as he passes the examination, then he will be a quasi-jinshi.

What could be more enjoyable?

However, just when Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu were extremely happy, there were people in the hall in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions who lost their souls, as if they had suffered a major blow.

"How can this be, how can this be, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"

"How could I not be on the list, how could I not be on the list?"

"This test is not fair, it is too unfair, if this test is really fair, how can my name not be on this list!"

"Someone must be operating in the dark, it must be like this!"

At this time, these people who have lost their souls are the people who competed with Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu for the first place in the hospital trial that day.

The judges of the court examination on that day all thought that Huang Tinghui, Tang Zihu and Ruan Dacheng had the level of Zhongjinshi.

Therefore, some people say that the competition for the hospital examination in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the three dragons to win the pearl.

Ruan Dacheng is a person who is exquisite, and he is even more careful.

In order to prepare for this exam, Ruan Dacheng can be said to have put a lot of thought into it.

And just when he thought that there was no surprise that he was on the list this time, his name did not appear on the list of the test at all.

How can Ruan Dacheng, who looks extremely humble on the surface but is extremely proud in his heart, accept it?

Especially when I saw my two rivals, one was the fourth place in the test, and the other was the second place in the test.

This instantly made Ruan Dacheng unacceptable.

"They must have cheated, they must have cheated to get this rank!"

"Otherwise, how could these two people take such a high ranking at the same time?"

"It's impossible!"

"There's only one way to cheat!" Perhaps because he was too jealous, Ruan Dacheng hated Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu very much.

At the same time, Ruan Dacheng suddenly remembered something.

Pan Zhengguo, the former bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, is also the chief examiner of this examination, and most importantly, this person is also a close friend of Tang Zihu's father.

If Tang Zihu went to visit his father's close friend, he got the test questions from Pan Zhengguo, who was a former lecturer at the Hanlin Academy and the chief examiner of the examination.

Then it is entirely possible for them to achieve such good results at the same time in the examination!

It's just that Ruan Dacheng has no evidence to prove that Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu got the test questions from Pan Zhengguo, a former lecturer at the Hanlin Academy.

Ruan Dacheng is insidious and cunning, and has a lot of bad intentions.

He knows very well the horror of rumors and the three of them.

As long as the matter is made big, all the scholars will make trouble, and even if it is fake, it can become true.

At that time, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu will not be able to argue even if they are a hundred mouths.

After all, there are such precedents in the imperial examination case.

At this time, Ruan Dacheng was already jealous to the core, he couldn't think too much about it at all, this person only felt that if he couldn't pass the exam.

The two of them, Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, couldn't pass this test.

And if something happens to Tang Zihu and Huang Tinghui, is he also qualified to make up for it?

Thinking like this, Ruan Dacheng's heart was about to move.

"Why can you win and I can't?"

"Why?"

Thinking of Tang Zihu's humiliation of himself, Ruan Dacheng squeezed his hands tightly, and he said viciously.

So under Ruan Dacheng's intentional spread, a rumor spread in the capital.

"Have you heard, the second and fourth places in the exam, called Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, their parents have a friendship with Pan Zhengguo, the former attendant of the Hanlin Academy, that is, the chief examiner of this exam, and they played extremely well this time, they are the second and fourth respectively, what does this mean?"

"What does it mean, someone immediately asked!"

"Don't you understand? This shows that Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, who were former lecturers at the Hanlin Academy, that is, the chief examiner of this examination, Pan Zhengguo, got the test questions of this examination, and they had the questions before they did the test papers, so they couldn't play well in the examination room! ”

"Where did you hear that?" Someone asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Hey, someone saw it with their own eyes, saying that Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu sneaked out of Lord Pan's mansion in the middle of the night, at first they didn't know Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu, but when the list was released this time, that person saw the appearance of Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu from a distance, and then he realized how big a thing he had broken."

"I see!" When everyone heard this, they all suddenly realized.

"No wonder I said that Huang Tinghui was so leisurely and complacent when he participated in the examination, and even fell asleep very early in the examination venue, looking unscrupulous and didn't care at all, it turned out that he got the question of the examination!!"

"It's too hateful, it's really hateful, how can you let this kind of person win, if that's the case, what fairness is there in this imperial examination?"

"That's it, that is, all kinds of people don't deserve to be hit at all, if he wins, wouldn't it be useless for me to wait for more than ten years of hard study?"

"We must sue the official, this matter must be known to the Son of Heaven, and let the Son of Heaven give us justice!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, we must let the Son of Heaven give us justice."

Most of these people who spoke were fallen scholars, and they were already extremely unhappy about their failure to make the list, and now that they heard the news, where could these resentful scholars sit still?

So they kept screaming and muttering to make a big deal about it.

Just do it!

Under the leadership of some people, a group of scholars went to the Gongyuan to make trouble, and they had to investigate Huang Tinghui and Tang Zihu for cheating in the imperial examination.

This time, it completely stirred up the capital.

After all, most of these scholars are fallen scholars, although they did not perform well in this meeting, but they are still raising their identities.

is the backbone candidate of the officials of the Dasheng State, so in this case, whether it is the Gongyuan or the imperial court, of course, they can't just ignore their demands.

"If this is true, it is a big case!"

"The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to this examination, we can't be sloppy!"

"If there is really a suspicion of cheating, it must be thoroughly investigated!"

After unifying their thoughts, the officials in the Gongyuan wrote an excerpt about the situation that happened in front of the Gongyuan and those scholars who were excited and gathered to make trouble, and sent it directly.

There is no need to tell more about this matter, after all, the cabinet ministers will see the excerpt before the emperor.

Therefore, it is only necessary to write an excerpt, and the cabinet ministers can also know the development of things.

In this way, it is only necessary to follow the instructions of the little emperor and the cabinet ministers, and then it will be enough.
