was targeted by the examiner, Li Kui didn't care at all, he had more enemies, who saw that the revenge was successful?

As for Li Qingchen, in Huang Tingjian's words, this is an extremely conceited guy. There is a level, and the heart eye is small enough, but there is one thing that is very bad, that is, the means are too unacceptable.

Now that Li Qingchen has become the chief examiner of this subject, it is indeed very unfavorable for Su Men.

But Huang Tingjian also has a way, this method is to let Li Qingchen find no trace of Li Kui and others, and he can't find their files. As for Su Guo, Su Zhe's style of doing things is sleek, and he will definitely not dig a pit to let his nephew jump down.

Su Zhe is much calmer and good at planning, Huang Tingjian believes that Su Guo is in front of Su Zhe, and his own uncle will definitely not give medicine to his nephew.

Su Guo failed in the last subject, in fact, Su Guo's lack of talent is not to blame. It's because Su Shi is in the capital.

Teaching his son to lay a foundation, integrate his knowledge, and hone his articles, Su Shi is very qualified. But for the imperial examination, Su Shi had no direction at all. It's not that there is no direction, the main thing is that Su Shi feels that he will be a jinshi casually, and if he doesn't hit, it is shady. And the imperial examination system of the Great Song Dynasty is very perfect, he doesn't think that anyone will give him the whole shady curtain and deliberately target him.

As a result, there is a problem with the focus of the article.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Xuanren was still alive, and no one went back to complain about the mistakes of the conservatives, using the past to satirize the present.

The problem is that Su Shi also visited Wang Anshi before, and the two of them released their suspicions, and offended Sima Guang and others, and their positions have almost shaken. As a result, Su Guo did not pay attention to the words on the article that would cause the examiner to dislike. The examiner didn't like it, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to be taken.

Regardless of how Su Zhe awarded Su Guo experience in the imperial examination.

Huang Tingjian was very attentive to Li Kui and Fan Chong, and he even listed several plans.

According to the preference of Li Qingchen's article, he is a Chonggu school and does not say it. But the writings of the two great literary sects of the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, are two completely different styles.

Han Yu Shigu advocates finding the root of the avenue from benevolence.

And what about Yoo Jong-won?

His style of writing is simple, more satirical about the present, starting from current politics, and discussing the current situation.

Both are powerful powers that need to be looked up to, but these two styles of writing are completely different styles. The former can be rhetorically gorgeous, and in the way of prose, he asks his heart directly like a rainbow through the sun. The latter will pay more attention to the simple words, face the suffering of the people directly to the scholars, and stab the shortcomings of the current politics.

Li Qingchen's articles advocate Liu Zongyuan's style more, which is also the reason why scholars paid more attention to current affairs from the middle and late Song Dynasty to Renzong. At the same time, it is also a test of a scholar's ability to govern.

For this reason, Huang Tingjian also specially trained the two of them for half a month.

At that time, Huang Tingjian was high-spirited and had a sense of arrogance to talk about the situation, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Kui and Fan Chong felt very bad.

Huang Tingjian first pointed out Fan Chong: "Yuan Chang, your article is gorgeous, has a solid foundation, and has the style of Hanlin. This was originally a good sentence, and Hanlin should be rigorous in style, especially in terms of learning.

Because the Hanlin Academy is not only as simple as drafting orders for the emperor, but also has the important task of compiling historical books. Therefore, stability is the most important style of study in the Hanlin Academy.

But these are obvious labels for Fan Chong, and Huang Tingnuan said, "Changed!" ”

Fan Chong was almost stupid, change, only half a month for him to change his style, isn't this his life?

But Huang Tingjian said with a full reason, "Yuan Chang, you should know that the main examiner of this subject is Li Qingchen, this is the main exam, if it is someone else, it will be forgotten, but your father has offended him, and the more distinctive the characteristics of your article, the more you will be targeted by him." If it is the first few subjects, your essay does not need to change the style at all, and it is properly hit. But if Li Qingchen sees your article, he will definitely be degraded. ”

The old Fan family is now unlucky.

If Fan Chong can't get into Jinshi, then at least for three years, his family will continue to decline.

The decline of a family, five years is a hurdle, if there is no talent to support the family façade for five years, it is not far from a complete decline. Fan Chong couldn't afford to gamble, and he didn't dare to bet, so he could only express his worries: "Teacher, if you change the style of writing at this time, the article may be much worse." And the students are not sure about the disadvantages of the times. ”

"Who said you learned Grandmaster Liu's style?" Huang Tingjian smiled meaningfully: "Change it to Fan Lao's concern for the country and the people, and worry about the disadvantages of the times." The important thing is to praise the reformers for a few words, not too much, just a few finishing touches. ”

"Can't Li Qingchen find out about this? But my father didn't say that he had a holiday with Li Qingchen! "Fan Chong is really a little big, he has the heart to not listen to Huang Tingjian, he has lived up to the kindness of his elders, if he really listens to Huang Tingjian, he is a little uncertain. In case his father and Li Qingchen have no enmity, wouldn't it be a superfluous move?

However, Huang Tingjian said firmly: "Virtuous nephew, don't be lucky, Brother Chunfu has scolded all the people who have the heads and faces of the Fa-changing faction, and Li Qingchen will definitely not be able to escape." ”

When Fan Chong heard the bad news, he was a little discouraged. He couldn't help but wonder, if Li Qingchen really found his scroll, I'm afraid it would ...... The world is unpredictable!

The imperial examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination were like hide and seek for Sumen.

What he is hiding is the possibility of being targeted by the law changers.

As long as they were not picked out of the paper in the fame stage, the Sumen disciples escaped a catastrophe.

After that, Li Kui, Huang Tingjian's request for Li Kui is one, the article is not too maverick, but to echo the present. Li Kui is not happy either! This is the best advantage of his imperial examination strategy, if he doesn't even have this advantage, his articles are even worse than ordinary candidates.

But Huang Tingjian insisted, "Renjie, don't be careless, your article is easier to find than Yuan Chang's article, and he will definitely not let you go if he falls on Li Qingchen's face." But as long as you dodge, as long as you are in the list of tributes, he will not dare to break the rules, as for whether you are suppressed in the palace test, it depends on your on-the-spot performance. ”

Li Yun was not convinced, because Huang Tingjian ignored Li Kui and Fan Chong after finishing speaking.

"Uncle Shi, what about me?" Li Yun and others were flustered, and felt the need to remind the master that his article has not been commented on by your old man? You can't favor one over the other.

Facing Li Yun's expectant eyes, Huang Ting was embarrassed, and after coughing a few times, he said helplessly, "You don't have to pursue style, preparing more for the art of war is the right way." ”

The art of war, the provincial test will not be tested, but the martial arts will be tested.

It will not account for too much of a share, and the martial artists do not attach importance to it, and the most important thing in martial arts is to fight. The one who can persist to the end is the martial champion.

Li Yun was devastated, how could his articles have no style.

But Huang Tingjian didn't let Li Kui and Fan Chong forget it like this, he took out Zhou Bangyan's article to explain to Li Kui and Fan Chong as a model text. As soon as this article's article was taken out, Fan Chong's face was very strange.

Li Kui didn't care, he didn't have the stubbornness of a literati.

The traces of sycophants in Zhou Bangyan's article are too heavy, even very explicit. But the sycophants slapped the emperor's heart, it can be said that Zhou Bangyan's article picked out the advantages of the new law one by one, and a few words of chat can make the emperor full of pride and joy. After Emperor Shenzong and Wang Anshi at that time saw it, it was as refreshing as drinking a sweet spring.

Fan Chong was very resistant to this, but he also knew that this was Huang Tingjian's kindness, so he could only accept it.

Li Kui followed along, but the time was too short to grasp the essence of Zhou Bangyan's sycophants. For this reason, Fan Chong also went to Huang Tingjian, and the old man happily told him, "This kind of article is very uncomfortable to write, right?" ”

Fan Chong nodded strangely, he was not used to it.

Moreover, the article is also awkward, it looks like a patterned pile-up, and it feels like it is deliberate.

Huang Tingjian stroked his palms and laughed, "It is this kind of youthful feeling that makes Li Qingchen feel that you have changed your position because you admire him." He is the examiner of a subject, if he doesn't network a few students who can listen to him, wouldn't he be busy in vain? Okay, if the old man watches you write, and suddenly puts such a well-written article in front of the old man, the old man will not recognize it as a masterpiece. ”

"Teacher, don't be ashamed of me anymore." Fan Chong blushed.

On the contrary, Huang Tingjian said indifferently, "When the old man was young, he was like you, he had a heroic and righteous spirit in his heart, and right and wrong between heaven and earth were as clear as black and white, but he hit a wall everywhere. Now that I am old, I have realized this truth. Otherwise, the old man would not have been an official and getting smaller and smaller. One of you needs a Jinshi identity, and the other needs a Jinshi identity to support the façade. bypassing Li Qingchen, the article of the chief of the Yuan Dynasty has absolutely no possibility of being deposed in the palace examination. As for Renjie, Your Majesty will not let you go. ”

Being an official is getting smaller and smaller, and there is nothing to be proud of.

More than ten years ago, this person was a governor, and now this official is getting smaller and smaller, and there are really few people who can compare.

And according to his estimates, he still has the potential to be degraded. So, these words are definitely empirical.

Fan Chong and Li Kui pondered, yes, it is absolutely stupid for this thing to appear on the examination paper.

As a result, half of Su Men's strength began to think about how to tout such shameless things as the Fa Chang faction. In addition, Su Zhe and Huang Tingjian taught their nephews with great hearts.

Rao is Li Qingchen is extremely smart, and he didn't expect that Huang Tingjian, a literary giant who has arranged countless anecdotes about Emperor Shenzong, would teach Fan Chong and Li Kui such shameless test-taking methods.

The process is not important, the result is important.

In the past two days, most of the candidates have gradually become accustomed to the life of the Gongyuan.

There is no way to do it at all, but as long as you stay up for another day, you can breathe free air again, and then wait for the day when the results are released.

After the Pentateuch inscriptions, there are two scriptures.

The reason why Moyi is put in the first test may be to let the candidates adapt to this environment!

Day 3.

The topic of the policy is finally showing its true face.

For the scholars of the provincial examination in the first year of Shaosheng, this is the real battlefield of the imperial examination.

It is a critical moment of white-knuckle fighting.

Since Xining's reform, poetry is no longer included in the provincial test results. Discussion has become the only opportunity for readers to change their fate.

A good strategy can determine the outcome of a scholar's ten or even twenty years of hard study, and no one dares to despise this aspect.

Bell, bell, bell.

The officials entered with signs holding up the topics of the policy.

The soldiers held their breath and stared at the sign held in the hands of the passing officials.

The topic is the fault of the new policy of the Han Dynasty.

Li Kui stared at the question for a long time, and always felt that there was something wrong with the examiner Li Qingchen's brain.

Why did the officials of the Great Song Dynasty dare to look down on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is this your own humiliation, or are you deliberately ambitious?

It's strange to say.

Li Kui couldn't understand before that the scholar class of the Great Song Dynasty looked at the Qin Emperor and Han Wu with contempt. Emperor Qin, tyrant also; Han Wu, tyranny also!

In many exams, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will be pulled out to spur them out, thus revealing a full sense of pride in the Great Song Dynasty.

But the root of the problem is not here.

It was the hegemony implemented by the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty once Taizu Taizong also wanted to do so, but the strength did not allow it, and he was beaten without momentum, thinking about it, and finally he could only use benevolence as the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. One hundred years of continuation, benevolent government became the mainstream of the Great Song Dynasty. Any tyrannical dynasty is a negative teaching material for the superiority of the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, the Great Song Dynasty still looks down on the Tang Dynasty, why? Too poor. Tang High School and Empress Wu, that is, Wu Zetian fled from Chang'an to Luoyang back then, and he simply lost his royal face.

It is naturally impossible for the Qin Emperor and Han Wu to escape the attack of pen and ink.

Don't the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty know that it is very unauthentic to pick thorns?

They all know it, but they don't want to say it.

Thanks to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if it was Qin Shi Huang, the more than 4,000 scholars of the Shaosheng First Year Branch would be able to put this on the pillar of shame in minutes. However, the shortcomings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are also obvious, appointing traitors, reckless soldiers, and inconsiderate of the people......

Li Kui listed the outlines one by one, feeling a little sorry for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and felt a little silent for one of the most outstanding emperors in history.

He spent half a day pondering the article and tried to write one. The theme is to follow the path of the Fa-chang, promoting the strengths and avoiding the weaknesses, and there are as many as 1,000 words.

After the revision, the transcription began after eating.

When the official of the Gongyuan struck the bangzi, he had already finished transcribing it. This bang is to tell the candidates that there is still a moment to hand in the papers.

When there were candidates handing in the papers one after another, Li Kui also handed in the papers when there were many people, and walked out of the Gongyuan with the examination box.

As soon as he got out of the tribute courtyard, he was frightened by the lively shouting in front of him, and the hawkers of the Great Song Dynasty really didn't miss the opportunity to do business at all. didn't wait for Li Yun, and went home directly with the bookcase.

Not to mention Li Kui, after Li Qingchen finished the provincial examination, the transcription was completed, and after the official marking began, he went to the local number marking room for the first time to wait.

The purpose is self-evident, that is, to find out the articles of Li Kui and Fan Chong.

"This article is subtle and desirable."

Li Qingchen took a look at it, it was not the person he was looking for, and said decisively, "But!" ”

This is three days, and on the last day, he panicked, why is there no article similar to Li Kuifan Chong's style?

Even he muttered in his heart, could it be that these two people were deposed long before he found out?
