In addition to the idle people and domestic slaves, there were also many scholars who came to the scene.

After all, among the three or four thousand candidates, not everyone is rich. There are still many candidates who do not have servants, or whose servants are completely illiterate, and they need to see the list in person.

In addition, some candidates sent their servants to squeeze into the inner circle to see the list, and they stood on the periphery waiting for news.

After most of the people who watched the list glanced at who Xie Yuan was, they didn't have time to think about it, and began to anxiously look for familiar names, their own or relatives and friends.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "There is a problem! Problematic! ”

Everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, but saw an extremely tall and majestic giant, angrily pointing to the township test list on the shadow wall.

After the results of this kind of examination come out, it is not uncommon for candidates to be unconvinced and make trouble.

There are three or four thousand candidates for the Nanzhili Township Examination, but the admission quota is only one hundred and thirty-five, and the vast majority of them will fail the list, and those who can pass the examination are rare.

It can be said that most of the scholars at the scene were unsuccessful students, and when they heard someone taking the lead in making noise, other disgruntled people immediately followed suit.

"There's a problem! Problematic! A hot-blooded young man named Gui Zimu raised his fist and shouted.

But as soon as the young man shouted twice, he was dragged away by his companion.

Gui Zimu questioned his companions: "There are strong men who raise their arms and shout for the unfairness of the exam, and you don't even have the courage to shout in solidarity?" ”

The companion said angrily: "The one who shouted that there was a problem just now was Xie Yuan Lin Tailai on the list!" You unsuccessful person in solidarity with a fart! ”

Gui Zimu: "."

Is this world still good? There has always been only the noise of those who have fallen off the list, and I have never heard of the people on the list making trouble.

Xie Yuan took the lead in shouting under the list that there was a problem, and even the last stubbornness of those who fell off the list and hit the street had to be deprived?

Lin Tailai's image is still very distinct, and he is a celebrity, and many people recognize it on the spot.

But everyone was speechless and didn't know what words to use to express their feelings.

A Ming No. 1 martial arts champion who is famous for his martial arts in Jiangzuo, and won the first place in the liberal arts township test, it is really magical.

What's even more magical is that this person actually shouted that there was a problem at the bottom of the list.

The friends around him asked Lin Daguan, "Why are you unhappy?" Can't you laugh? ”

Lin Tailai said very seriously: "There must be something wrong with this township test list, you have to fight with me." ”

A few friends stayed away from Lin Tailai and explained: "There is our name on the list, so we think there must be no problem, and we can't support you." ”

Lin Daguan, who still wanted to fight, was betrayed and left in an instant, so he could only leave in a huff.

For ordinary people, the promotion of people in the examination means that they have achieved a real class leap, from a scholar to a master, and entered the ruling class.

Not only can you get a lot of privileges that you couldn't think of before, but you also have the qualifications to be a direct official, which is a very carnival thing.

After the release of the list, the examiners who had been locked in the inner courtyard of the Gongyuan and isolated from the outside world regained their freedom.

Of course, the most important of these examiners is the chief examiner, who is called the seat teacher by the newcomers. If you enter the officialdom in the future, if there is no unexpected factor interference, the teacher and the protégé are a natural alliance.

After Huang Hongxian, the chief examiner of the Jinke Township Examination, came out of the Gongyuan, he began to accept the protégés.

However, Lin Daguan judged based on historical experience that this master should have no future, and he could not count on it in the future.

More than 100 protégés had to come to see the master, so they could only go in batches.

Lin Tailai and a few friends from the middle school stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for a while, and saw that the previous batch came out in the same year.

"It's time for us to meet." Lin Daguan shook his sleeves and prepared to take the lead inside.

But in the middle of the last batch, a man suddenly trotted over, about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and greeted him very warmly:

"But Wu Zhonglin Xie Yuan in person? I have always admired the name of Lin Xie Yuan for a long time, and today I finally got to know Jing, not only have no regrets in this life, but also have three lives! ”

Even Lin Daguan was a little stunned at the moment, was this same year too humble?

It stands to reason that as long as they make friends on an equal footing in the same year, how can there be such a thing?

Before Lin Daguan could react, he took out a stack of manuscript paper in the same year, and said with great admiration: "In order to celebrate Lin Sheng's recapture of Xie Yuan, I wrote a group of eight poems to congratulate!" ”

So Lin Daguan, who has always been shrewd, was also unable to be rectified - I'm not your father, do you write eight poems to celebrate?

In the same year, the thick-eyed man continued: "I have long heard of the four major poetic theories proposed by Lin Jieyuan, which are really deafening and high-minded.

In the next thought, Lin Xie Yuan can lead hundreds of years of coquettishness, can be called the grandmaster of the poetry world, I would like to call your Excellency the poetry sect! ”

"Ah, this" Lin Tai was dizzy for the first time since he had crossed over.

Poetry! It sounds like a lot of people, but it seems shameful to admit it in this scene.

Do you want to come down, wait online, it's very urgent.

The thick-eyed and big-eyed same year held the manuscript paper, his face full of desire for knowledge: "I still have some selfish intentions in the future, and I dare to ask Lin Xie Yuan for some advice."

I don't know which of the four major schools in the future pointed out by Lin Jieyuan is more suitable for the poetry style below? ”

This is also the first time that Lin Tailai has encountered himself on literary issues since he entered the literary world.

Lin Daguan, who came back to his senses, was rarely amiable, and politely took the initiative to ask: "Haven't you asked for your name?" ”

In the same year, he hurriedly reported to his family and said: "Zhou Yingqiu is also in the lower Jintan." ”

Lin Tailai suddenly shook his tiger body, and subconsciously said: "You thick-eyed and big-eyed person. Is it Zhou Yingqiu? ”

There are still a few historical celebrities on his township test list, such as two of the Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, all of whom are in it.

And this Zhou Yingqiu was the first Xie Yuan in the original history, and he was also the most famous one in history, of course, his fame had little to do with Xie Yuan.

The main fame of the thick eyebrows and big eyes in the same year came from more than 30 years later, when he took refuge in Wei Zhongxian and became the head of the "Ten Dogs" under the nine-thousand-year-old sect.

When Zhou Yingqiu was the imperial history of Zuodu, he learned that Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing liked to eat pig's trotters, so he often personally simmered pig's trotters to entertain Wei Liangqing, and the people in the rivers and lakes called "Pig's Trotters General Constitution".

Later, Zhou Yingqiu became a secretary of the ministry again, openly selling officials, claiming to receive 10,000 taels of bribes every day, and was also called "Sunday 10,000" by the people of the time.

Thinking of this historical story, Lin Daguan couldn't help but gasp!

Was Zhou Yingqiu already terrifying when he was young? Even a determined person like himself was almost confused!

"Lin Xie Yuan?" Zhou Yingqiu saw that Lin Tailai was suddenly stunned, and called softly.

And Lin Daguan glanced at Zhou Tongnian with a complicated expression, turned around and left without saying a word.

In the invisible confrontation just now, he Lin Tailai was actually defeated, but only by virtue of the golden finger plug-in of historical knowledge, he did not sink into it.

If he, Lin Tailai, was not a time-traveler from hundreds of years later, where would he be able to stop this Zhou Yingqiu's offensive.

Zhou Yingqiu looked at Lin Jieyuan, who left suddenly, in confusion, where did he say something wrong?

But he quickly cheered up, Lin Tailai broke free from his kneeling licking spell just now, it was just an accident!

As long as you give it your all, no one can completely refuse their kneeling licking!

Walking into the living room, Lin Daguan temporarily put Zhou Yingqiu down and began to socialize with Huang Hongxian.

This Mr. Huang is in his forties, and it stands to reason that he should be in the prime of life, but he has no energy.

After the group of people had performed the prostration, they presented their gifts.

Lin Daguan was very real, and directly sent a box of precious Song edition books, and there were two gold bars secretly pressed in the box.

Seeing that everyone had communicated with the teacher, Lin Daguan waved his hand to others and said lightly: "Wait for the time being, I will say a few words to the teacher alone." ”

Others also understood that Lin Tailai's Xie Yuan was indeed outrageous, so he withdrew.

After waiting for no one else around, Mr. Huang took the initiative to say: "Shen Xiangtou I brought a little letter, it was inconvenient to give it to you before." ”

This is equivalent to directly stating the position, the two sides are on the same page, and they are indeed their own people!

Lin Tailai couldn't wait to ask, "Why did you give me the first place Xie Yuan?" Could it be that it was instructed by the ruling government of the DPRK and China? ”

Mr. Huang replied very calmly: "It has nothing to do with others, it is my own opinion, and I ordered you to be the solution yuan." ”

Lin Tailai couldn't help but ask again, "What does the teacher think?" There seems to be no need for love. ”

Master Huang asked rhetorically, "Even if you are not Xie Yuan?" Isn't there any controversy?

You should know very well what the Jingshi Imperial Court looks like now, and who is paying attention to you. ”

Lin Daguan said disdainfully: "It's just a local chicken and tile dog." ”

Mr. Huang also said: "Even if you are the last in the township examination, it will still arouse criticism from some people.

In that case, it is better to give Xie Yuan to you and win a reputation first. ”

Lin Tailai was a little speechless, in the history of another time and space, Huang Hongxian gave Wang Heng, the son of the university scholar Wang Xijue, a solution this year, but he didn't expect this time and space to be replaced by himself.

Mr. Huang comforted: "You don't have to worry, even if the solution is more controversial, it doesn't matter."

After being criticized, I will take all the responsibility, and if I resign to solve the problem, I will really resign. ”

In the struggle of officialdom, generally speaking, resignation is the end, indicating that the price has been paid, and the political pursuit can no longer be continued according to the rules.

If Mr. Huang resigns to deal with criticism, it will be able to end the controversy of Lin Daguanren's solution in terms of rules.

Lin Daguan said tentatively: "I don't know how to repay the teacher's love to that student." ”

For no reason, he paid such a big price for his own false name, and Lin Daguan felt a bit outrageous no matter how he heard it.

Mr. Huang said with a smile: "I don't need you to repay anything, I, a Jinshi who has been in Longqing for five years, has no future." ”

In the five-year examination of Longqing, the chief examiner is Zhang Juzheng, and now he can only hang around all day long, but Master Feng is also this year.

Then I heard Mr. Huang say: "But the dog is in his early twenties, but he passed the Jinshi examination in the fourteenth year of Wanli in Shangke, and if there is a noble person to take care of him, the future will definitely be greater than mine." ”

Lin Tailai understood that what Mr. Huang meant was to fight for his own official position in exchange for the first assistant boss to take care of his son in the future.

Everything can be explained logically on the surface, but Lin Tailai still feels that it doesn't make sense from the perspective of human nature.

If this Xie Yuan was arranged by you, Master Huang, wouldn't it be tantamount to making your own decisions and causing more trouble for Shoufu?

The controversy brought by Xie Yuan is also greater than that of ordinary lifters, and the trouble it brings to Shoufu is also greater.

Your son is still being pinched by Shoufu, and it is impossible for him to be an undercover agent.

So Lin Tailai decided to deceive Mr. Huang, and after thinking about it, he said again:

"Teacher, it's better to tell the truth, who set this Xie Yuan.

Otherwise, I can only think that you are deliberately creating doubts between me and Shin Xiang. ”

Mr. Huang smiled bitterly a few times, and after hesitating for a moment, "Actually, there are some other inside things, and you will know sooner or later."

It may not be easy to arrange the exam next year, so Shen Xiang decided to give you a solution first.

In case, I mean, in case it really doesn't work next year, this solution is compensation. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

This means that next year's test may be more difficult, so this solution is considered a consolation prize?

Why, other traversers are easy to clear the two rankings, how can it be difficult to get here?

If it's so difficult to even take the exam, what's the use of asking you to apply for the first assistant!

Bachelor Huang emphasized: "Shen Xiang will definitely do his best, but it is indeed a little difficult, mainly because the chief examiner of next year's examination is the second assistant Xu Guo. ”

A long, long time ago, the examiners of the examination were all Hanlin scholars, but in recent decades, cabinet scholars have been used to act as examiners on a rotational basis.

So basically, a person can guess who the chief examiner will be next time.

Among the three members of the current cabinet, Shoufu Shen Shixing is the chief examiner of the eighth year of Wanli, and Wang Xijue, a university scholar, is the chief examiner of the last Wanli fourteenth year test.

Only the second assistant Xu Guo has not presided over the examination, so the chief examiner of next year's examination must be Xu Guo.

But the point is that Xu Guo was born in Hui, and many Yangzhou salt merchants such as Zheng Zhiyan are backed by Xu Guo.

And when Lin Daguan was competing for the interests of the salt industry in Yangzhou, he didn't give Xu Cifu face at all.

Of the 21,000 books controlled by the Lin Salt Industry, two-thirds were stolen from Hui merchants.

From this point of view, it is also Lin Daguan's own sin.

But as long as the original pattern of interests is touched, it will definitely offend people, even if there is no Xu Guo, there are others.

Lin Tailai said a little dissatisfied: "Can't Shoufu suppress Xu Guo?" ”

Bachelor Huang explained: "Shen Xiang also has Shen Xiang's difficulties, first, Xu Guo is stubborn and hot-tempered, vindictive, and difficult to convince.

Second, Prime Minister Shen also needs Xu Guo's support, and many times the cabinet has to rely on Xu Guo to fight with foreign courts. ”

Lin Tailai said angrily: "If I am the first assistant, there will be no other voice in the cabinet!" ”

Bachelor Huang remembered something again and reminded: "In addition, there are rumors in the imperial court that among the eighteen examiners in the same room who will be examined next year, some people may give up all other positions and only compete for the examiner position in the I Ching room. ”

As we all know, the general examination is the same as the township examination, in addition to the "Four Books" which is a compulsory examination, candidates will choose one of the five classics of poetry, calligraphy, rites, Yi, and Spring and Autumn as the scriptures.

When judging the papers, there will be a number of examiners who will classify the Pentateuch as a classifier, judge the papers in separate rooms, and then submit the passing papers to the examiner.

For example, Lin Tailai's book is the Book of Changes, and the test papers will definitely be sent to the Book of Changes room for the first judgment by the same examiner.

Therefore, as long as the hostile forces grab the position of the same examiner in the I Ching room, they will definitely be able to access Lin Tailai's test papers.

In the end, Mr. Huang sighed helplessly: "All in all, Shen Xiang will definitely do his best for you, but there are too many obstacles from all sides, and I dare not guarantee the result." ”

Lin Tailai: "."

How can he, Lin Tailai, be able to resist so desperately?

What did he Lin Tailai do wrong and be targeted to this point?

In addition to providing some latest news, Mr. Huang couldn't help what happened to Lin Daguan.

The township test is still going to pass quickly, and the test is the main course
