Xiao He?

Cao Shen thought that he was wrong, because it really shouldn't be, since the second list is not Shen Gongzi, then the first list must be Shen Gongzi, but no matter how you look at it, the first list does not seem to be the name of Shen Gongzi.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously to see if he was dazzled, and when he opened his eyes again, it was still the same name, Xiao He, that is to say, the number one on the list was not Shen Gongzi, but Xiao He.

"Xiao He? Elder brother? Cao Shen couldn't believe it, "Could it be the same name?" ”

So, his gaze shifted to the right and fell on the back belonging.

Chang'an Township.

At this moment, he was stunned, that's right, it is Chang'an Township, and there is only one person in Chang'an Township who has signed up for the imperial examination, and that is his brother.

"Brother turned out to be the number one, not the son of Shen." Cao Shen was shocked, "Isn't my brother abolished?" How could it still be here? ”

Cao Shen was very suspicious that he was not in a good brain, he blinked his eyes vigorously, and repeatedly confirmed that the name of the first list would never change, it was his brother Xiao He.

At this moment, he had the feeling of walking in the clouds.

However, he was just dazed for a few breaths, and immediately became happy for his brother.

Brother is not abolished, but better.

Then the next moment, Cao Shen was puzzled again, didn't my brother not be able to read the classics? Why did you end up on the list?

This question lingers in my mind.

"I'll wait for the shortlisted answers to be announced, and I must take a good look at how my brother won the first place."

Yes, the imperial examination supervisor has explained that in order to show fairness, the shortlisted answers will be publicized, and everyone can see the content of the answers.

Besides, Shen Gongzi, when the third list appeared, even if he was very calm on the surface, he was very nervous in his heart, he also looked from the bottom to the bottom like Cao Shen, and when he saw that the third list was blank, there was no inner fluctuation, but it was a little natural.

Yes, it is a matter of course, there is really nothing else in the world that can be compared with it except for Shusun Fu, no, now that Shusun Fu appears on the next list, there is no qualification to compare with him, that is to say, except for him, no one can be on the third list.

Only talented people can live in the three lists, and he is the one who is talented.

He expected that not to mention the third list, I am afraid that the second list may be empty, and no student in the world can be qualified to be on the top of the list with him.

His gaze moved up excitedly and landed on the second list, but to his surprise, there was someone on the second list.

"Someone is qualified to be inferior to me? Who? ”

He was a little unindignant, staring at the name earnestly.

High wealth.

What?

He was shocked, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and he was trying to look at the back to belong, it was Gao Fu, Gao Fu Gao Fugui, isn't this the Gao Fu he knew?

"How is that possible? He can even be at the top of the list, even more powerful than Uncle Sun Fu. Shen Gongzi muttered to himself in disbelief.

I heard that Gao Fugui is a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, and he can be ranked second if he does not learn and has no skills? He couldn't figure it out.

But soon it was not a big deal, Gao Fugui had never walked into his eyes, even if he stood out and ranked second on the list at the moment, he still didn't care about it.

Because, he must be on the first list, not the second on the list.

He is not comparable to the rich and noble.

His gaze moved from the second list, slowly lifting up, his heart began to be nervous, but also excited, he had expected that the familiar name would appear, the supreme name that his father had given him, Shen.

When he arrived, he saw the number one, and saw the incomparably bright and glorious name, clearly imprinted in his pupils.

Xiao He.

What? Xiao He? Not Shen.

If he is not on the first list, where should he be located?

He continued to look in a panic, but it was the end of it.

This moment.

Shen Gongzi felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and a sense of disbelief crept into his heart, so much so that he almost roared hysterically.

The number one on the list is Xiao He, not him, and even without him on the list, he is not even qualified to be shortlisted.

"How is this possible? How can it be? Shen Gongzi was a little crazy and began to talk nonsense, "How can it be Xiao He, isn't it me?" Who is Xiao He? How can he take me the first place, it can't be"

He held his head, it seemed to be in pain, the whole person was spinning in place, and the admirers around him couldn't imagine that this would be the case, and they were stunned one by one, not knowing how to react.

If it was usual, if Shen Gongzi was a little unsatisfactory, they would try their best to pat their ass, but today, somehow, it was gone, and they faintly showed cold eyes.

The students who watched the list all saw it, and the previous stuttering and flattery disappeared all of a sudden, and they actually showed the expression of looking at the joke.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Shen Gongzi kept shaking his head, staring at the list with his eyes, how to see it and not believe it.

"There must be something boring, I'm so talented that I'm not shortlisted, impossible."

"If I let me know who is cheating, I will definitely tell my father, let him appear before His Majesty, and investigate it strictly."

Shen Gongzi's eyes glared deeply at the people who were present in the imperial examination prison, as if he was suspicious of them, and his gaze moved to the side.

There, there are people who are in charge of the imperial examinations, and they are pasting the answers of the finalists one by one.

His eyes fell on Xiao He's answer sheet, the handwriting was beautiful and strong, and the answer was full of truth, not the blank that everyone thought before.

Looking at the question one by one, it is so incredible, the answers, the opinions, and the ideas are so novel and thought-provoking.

Politicians also walk the road, the world is for the public, and the people live in peace

The people's representative regulation: the people are the people, and what the people want is the national policy

Commerce, the people follow, promote circulation, and take charge of business taxes.

Available for election, for a five-year term.

Each one has a unique insight, and each one has a feasible strategy, and he can think that if he is a wise man, he will be very happy.

Yes, his father once told him that His Majesty was already very dissatisfied with the growing evils of the dynasty, and the appearance of this imperial examination was aimed at this.

He remembered his father's words, but he suffered from the lack of enlightenment, so that when he answered the questionnaire, he was full of outdated ideas and opinions, which were completely different from such a novel answer.

"I see! I might as well too! Shen Gongzi, who was still crazy just now, stopped going crazy for the first time, but quickly showed his ecstasy, and suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, just a moment, then a moment of reading, he is enlightened.

The reason why his confidence was bursting before was that he couldn't find an opponent, but when he saw Xiao He's argument at this moment, he was immediately shocked, and he only sighed that he was far inferior.

Yes, this is a new thought, a new insight, or a new doctrine, which is beyond the reach of all schools.

Isn't this new doctrine exactly what my father proposed and what he was looking for?

In the same way, Great Qin's shortcomings are in vain, and what is needed at this moment is reform, isn't this exactly what His Majesty needs?

He could imagine that when the emperor saw such a doctrine, he would be greatly shocked, and it was natural for him to become the number one on the list.

He didn't lose a lot, Xiao He deserved to be the number one.

After reading Xiao He's strategy, his eyes moved to Gao Fugui's answer, which also made him extremely surprised, Gao Fugui actually knew how to teach like this, although it was not as good as Xiao He, but it was definitely not disgraced by the second list.

Twenty-eight on the list, he swept them one by one, more or less novel ideas, but compared to Xiao He and Gao Fugui, it was far inferior.

If you think about it again, what you answered is the outdated theory of Legalism and Confucianism, which is simply unsightly, and compared with this, there is a world of difference.

"I'm old-fashioned!" At this moment, Shen Gongzi was completely enlightened, and people were relieved, what he learned was not inferior to others, but he was no longer suitable for the current Great Qin, that is, he was lagging behind.

How can you be on the list if you are backward? Hard.

He immediately figured out the reasons for his failure.

"But from whom did such a doctrine come from? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Who did Xiao He and Gao Fugui worship as their teachers, and they learned such theology." Shen Gongzi began to envy, and his heart began to thirst.

At this moment, his defeat was completely diluted, and was replaced by the pursuit of such a doctrine, the desire, and even, in a few moments, it became more intense and more persistent.

"I'm going to learn this too!"

I have to say that Shen Gongzi has changed so much, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, and it is no wonder that he can be praised by everyone as a great talent, and great talents often have outstanding features, maybe this is it!

At that time, Cao Shen was beside Shen Gongzi, staring at Xiao Hezhi's answer, and his eyes became very hot.

Exactly, his hands began to tremble, his eyes were bright, and his mouth couldn't help but make a sound, "It's such an idea, so wonderful, I can't imagine it, my brother is a great talent!" ”

In an instant, he also agreed with such a doctrine, and his expression was extremely excited.

"Brother is not abolished, he is even better."

"It's just, why do you say that I seem to have seen it there?" The next moment, Cao Shen fell into deep thought.

"Seen?" When Shen Gongzi heard this, his whole body was shocked, his eyes suddenly burst into Cao Shen's body, and he asked urgently, "Brother, have you seen such a doctrine there?"

When he saw that Cao Shen was older, he called him brother, if it was before, this would have been impossible, which shows how quickly his thinking has changed.

Cao Shen knew that this person was the son of Shen, but he thought deeply.

He will definitely not be mistaken, he must have seen such a doctrine, but he doesn't remember it deeply, and the next moment, he suddenly frowned, and quickly untied the back basket behind his back.

He remembered that his brother had given him two books, namely "Political Lectures" and "Economic Theory", which were also what everyone called miscellaneous books.

After all, this is a miscellaneous book, and it is useless to read more.

"These are the two books, which are miscellaneous books."

Cao Shen took out the second book, revealing a few big characters on the cover: "Political Lecture" and "Economic Theory".

Shen Gongzi was very surprised when he saw it, and asked, "Miscellaneous books, what are you talking about are miscellaneous books that are to be banned by Dr. Zhao's uncle Sun Tong?" ”

"Exactly, I think you also saw it on the day of the imperial examination, it was in the hands of my brother Xiao He, and he gave it to me later."

"I see!" Shen Gongzi's eyes lit up, since it was given by Xiao He, it must be this book.

"Can you sell me these two books?" I can pay a high price, one and a half taels, no, one thousand, one thousand is enough. Shen Gongzi asked eagerly, which showed his enthusiasm for the second book, and he hurriedly reached into his arms to take out the money.

Cao Shen glanced at Shen Gongzi deeply, but he had no intention of selling, and hurriedly took the second book into his arms.

If it hadn't happened here, he might have sold the second book, after all, it was worthless, but now that he knew it, how could he sell it? You must know that this is a divine book that can make my brother win the first place in one fell swoop!

He Xiao He is not stupid, how can he sell it?

"I'm sorry, I won't sell it for any amount of money?" Square refusal.

Shen Gongzi was helpless, sighed deeply, and retreated.

"Can you lend it to me?"

How much he was looking forward to it, Cao Shen was also moved, "Yes, but not too long." ”

So, Cao Shen handed over the second book, and Shen Gongzi took it and read it seriously.

The next moment, he showed ecstasy, he could find all the content in Xiao He's answer sheet here, and the strange questions of the imperial examination seemed to be related to these two books.

"This, this imperial examination strategy is from these two books, no wonder!" Shen Gongzi felt a little like crying, he said why he couldn't be shortlisted, and was left far behind by Xiao He and Gao Fugui, it turned out that he didn't have these two books, Xiao He has, he knows, presumably Gao Fugui also has it!

Rich and noble? Wait, he suddenly thought of something, slammed the book shut, his eyes stared at the cover, the big words "political lecture" and "economic theory" were still eye-catching, but in the eyes of Shen Gongzi, there was a little more wailing.

Yes, it's a wail, he has seen these two books before, it is on Gao Fugui, he wanted to buy these two books when he was satirizing Gao Fugui, but Gao Fugui increased the price on the spot.

Gao Fugui said at the time that it would cost one hundred and a half taels, and if he didn't sell it, he might have to pay one and a half taels, and it was too late to regret it.

He also scolded Gao Fugui fiercely at that time.

At the moment, it seems that he regrets it, no, he really regrets it.

No, he can't regret it, he still has a chance, it's only one thousand and a half taels, he has it, so he hurriedly returned the second book to Cao Shen, and hurried to Gaofu.

He wants to buy the second book as soon as possible before everyone reacts, otherwise, don't think about it in the future, this second book has been banned, and it can't be seen in the bazaar at all, and only Gaofu can get it.

On the same day, Gao Yu was sold in Yuelai Liquor Store, and many people must have seen it, if they found out, Gao Mansion would squeeze through the door, if he didn't hurry up and ask for it, he wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of the book at that time.

This is definitely not a rhetoric.

The imperial examination is the way for scholars to step into the dragon gate, and the imperial examination is these two books, and it is impossible for students not to go crazy.

He can imagine that within one day, these two books will become the most precious and rare things in Xianyang.

Now!

Gaofu can be described as full of friends.

Gao Yu was hiding, but Chen You found him out and forced him to entertain him.

Gao Yu really wanted to wear a mask, especially when the guests cast strange and pitiful glances, he was very embarrassed, and Chen You teased him from time to time, which made him embarrassed.

For a while, he glared at his son fiercely, if it weren't for his son's own opinion, would he be so embarrassed? It's already on the list! The slaves sent out to watch the charts are coming back soon!

"No, I can't lose face, I need to get out of here as soon as possible." Gao Yu was secretly thinking about a way.

If he comes back from slavery and says in front of everyone that his son is not on the list, the face he has been operating for many years will be lost.

"Senior brother, where are you going?" Chen You seemed to know what Gao Yu was going to do, and when he saw Gao Yu quietly turn around, he hurriedly drank, "It's time to release the list, and the news should come back!" Your son must have made the list! This is a happy event, and you should celebrate it with everyone. ”

Congratulations to your head!

Gao Yu really wanted to scold the past, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Congratulations and congratulations!" ”

Chen You arched his hand, his smile became more and more weird, and he attached it to Gao Yu's ear and said, "Of course you want to congratulate, but, will your son win?" Ha ha! ”

"You?" Gao Yu's face darkened, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the voice of the slave who went to see the list.

"I'm back."

"Young Master, Young Master"
