The palace test was scheduled for March 15, and in the past few days, Lin Huiyuan was like a trapped beast in a desperate situation, crazy to the point of rampant!

After beating the foursome of the Gu family class and Shen Shangshu's son-in-law, five more families suffered! These five have one thing in common, they are all officials who have questioned the results of the examination.

During the incident, Shi Menglin came home from work and found that the door of his house was open, the courtyard was smashed, and several servants were lying at the gate and were seriously injured.

And on the wall outside the door, there is also an inscription:

"The east wind has nothing to do, and the makeup is ten thousand flowers. Idle to read all the flower shadows, only the moon hook slanted.

I have an iron flute in the south of the Yangtze River, and I want to lean on a branch of fragrant snow and blow the jade city glow.

The shadow is insignificant, and the flying flotsam is all over the world. Drift away, I and you, the clouds.

Donghuang smiled and said: Whose house is Fangyi? Could it be that the spring flowers bloom and fall, and the spring breeze comes and goes, but it is timeless?

The flowers come in spring, and the grass has never been shaded. ”

Shi Shizhi looked left and right, and only felt that this was a poem written about spring, with no special meaning, and he did not scold himself, and it could even be said that this poem had nothing to do with the current situation.

So Shi Shizhi was even more angry, this forest thief ran to his house and smashed the door and beat people, and he didn't even bother to leave poems!

Doesn't he deserve to be specifically written a poem?

An unrelated spring song is like dealing with an errand casually, which sends you away?

Before Shi Shizhi finished getting angry with the poem, he saw his own rush out and scold him.

"What kind of plague official are you who kill a thousand knives! I was smashed twice by a thief surnamed Lin in three years, and you don't dare to put a fart! ”

Shi Shizhi was reminded of some bad memories, three years ago, when Lin Tailai went to Beijing to take the martial arts championship, in order to help Song Qi compete for the Hubu Shangshu, he Shi Menglin impeached Wang Zhiyuan, resulting in Lin Tailai smashing the door once.

The output of the continues: "The thief surnamed Lin has come to the door several times, and he can't live his life!" Can't you shitty dim sum sue him and send him to prison for dinner! ”

"Don't do that!" Shi Shizhi said firmly: "Be patient! Have you ever heard of the allusion to Han Xin's humiliation? ”

Now he sent Lin Tailai to it on the charge of violence, just to eat a few days in prison, but let Lin Tailai escape the palace test;

But endure until Lin Tailai goes to the palace test, or Lin Tailai doesn't dare to participate in the palace test, they can operate Lin Tailai as a big crime of bullying the king! The sentence is at least exile!

At this juncture, there must be tactical determination! Don't mess with yourself!

Patience is not weakness, but a deeper wisdom.

After comforting his own in bed at night, Shi Shizhi, who had entered the time of the sage, silently recited the quotations of the previous monk.

"Just bear with him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, and stay a few days and watch him."

The situation of several other families is similar to that of Shi Shi's family, and they have all been beaten by smashing doors, beating people, and inscriptions.

Moreover, the five inscriptions are all water tune song heads, and the style is obviously the same, forming "Water Tune Song Heads - Spring Five Songs".

This is very Lin Daguan's artistic style, and he likes to publish poems in sets.

The officials and residents who lived in Xicheng watched in amazement as Lin Tailai wreaked havoc on Xicheng, as if history had reappeared three years ago.

And what is very strange is that Lin Tailai continued to commit crimes in broad daylight, beating and smashing and almost robbing, but no one spoke up, and even the victims were quiet and silent.

Yousi also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and turned a blind eye, there should be no such thing!

The little gangster named Wei Si stood in the crowd, looking at Lin Huiyuan, who openly smashed the door and beat people but no one sanctioned him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The husband should be like this!" ”

But all the people in the officialdom can feel the raging anger that was suppressed by the Qingliu forces represented by Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

These furies will surely erupt in a violent manner at the right time, completely tearing apart the most hateful enemy!

As for the other people who are going to participate in the palace examination, although they also have uneasy relationships, they can barely calm down, not as anxious as Lin Huiyuan.

After all, it is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years that the palace test does not eliminate people, as long as it is not set on fire like Lin Huiyuan and is not directly involved, it should not be a big problem.

In this way, in the midst of chaos, March 15 arrived.

The quasi-jinshi gathered outside the left gate of Chang'an, and then, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they lined up to enter the imperial city, and then the palace city.

This is the first time Lin Tailai has seen the main hall since the crossing.

It passed through the Chengtian Gate, the Duanmen, the Wumen Gate, and the Dongjiao Gate, which were later changed to Tiananmen Square, and came to the large square in front of the Huangji Palace.

This is the main hall of the palace city, originally called Fengtian Palace, Jiajing Dynasty rebuilt after the renaming of the Huangji Palace, later generations called Taihe Palace.

The other fellow candidates were all shocked by the magnificence and majesty of the palace, while Lin Daguan was much calmer, familiar like an old fritter who had been in the dynasty for many years.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor should symbolically appear during the palace examination, indicating that this is the Son of Heaven.

But Lin Tailai ran into the Wanli Emperor who had already begun to be abnormal, so he didn't want to see the emperor today.

This time the palace examination was allowed to be held in the Imperial Palace, and the candidates had one table for each person. Anyway, I don't eliminate people, and I don't care about separating each other from each other to avoid fraud.

When Lin Tailai found his own examination case, he found that he had been cheated by the Ministry of Rites again.

His position was in the deepest part of the hall, the light was dim, and writing was much more laborious than normal.

The test location is close to the latrine, and the temple test position is dimly lit. In this regard, Lin Daguan silently recited a few words: "Don't bully the poor youth".

When you have the fame, you must arrange the head of the Ministry of Rites who is responsible for arranging the position of the exam!

Compared with the exam, the temple exam is really short and small.

In the first session of the examination, you have to write seven essays and eight strands, while the palace examination only needs to write one essay, which takes up to one day.

Although the highest record of the palace test essay is to write 10,000 words a day, and some people say 7,000 words, but normal people write two or three thousand words, which is really not a lot of pressure compared to the test writing.

Of course, this palace test is more special, and I have tested an eight-strand article, and the focus of many people's attention is this eight-strand article.

After all the candidates returned to the throne, the title of the eight-strand essay appointed by the emperor was issued, which was "Zi Said: Let go of the profit and act, and complain a lot", from the "Analects".

When writing a propositional essay, you must first review the topic, and "one section" means that there is not only this sentence, but also a large part of the last paragraph of the original sentence of the Analects.

Lin Tailai meditated on the original text, "Let it be profitable, and complain" is followed by "Can you use courtesy for the country?" Why? You can't be a country with comity, so what is courtesy? ”

There is also the more famous sentence "The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable".

Therefore, the main purpose of the article needs to be written comes out, that is, at the level of governance, it is written around profit, righteousness, and propriety, which is a very classic content.

Lin Tailai felt that Emperor Wanli's question was too much in line with the temperament of the emperor himself. It may be that this emperor has been pondering the three words of profit, righteousness, and propriety all his life.

The writing of the eight-strand essay proposition is not to let go of oneself to write a cool essay, and the process is boring.

By the afternoon, Lin Tailai had finished writing this eight-strand essay and another unimportant essay topic.

After handing in the volume, he left the Huangji Palace Square from the East Corner Gate, and then left the palace.

As a candidate, everything that should be done has ended, and the results will depend on the big guys.

When gathering with friends in the evening, Jin Shiheng asked, "How was the answer today?" Is there any hope for Dzogchen? ”

Recently, in conversations, my friends have been using the term "Dzogchen" to refer to another champion.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and if you want nothing in your life." Lin Tailai replied uncertainly.

Jin Shiheng asked again: "Didn't you find Shen Xiang to dredge?" ”

Lin Daguan said very transparently: "This time Shen Xiang is only afraid that he is neutral, which is understandable. ”

For Shen Shixing, under the current storm of public opinion, Lin Tailai is the best result to get a Jinshi fame safely, and there is no need to take a huge risk to force the champion.

Moreover, this time the emperor personally intervened, and under the unpredictable power of the sky, Shen Shixing did not dare to take the initiative too much.

In order to make the emperor angry, even the first assistant brought Lin Tailai to anger together, but the gains outweighed the losses.

So Lin Tailai really didn't expect Shen Shixing to help him this time, and he didn't want Shen Shixing to lose his first assistant.

"Is that all?" Jin Shiheng seems to be more unwilling than Lin Tailai.

Without the strong support of powerful people, the probability of winning the champion among more than 300 elites is extremely slim.

But in the face of the nine-element miracle that is within reach, don't you try harder?

"What else else?" Lin Tailai drank all the wine in the cup, picked up the beauty and walked into the house, probably needing to vent his frustration.

On the night of the palace examination, the test paper was sealed and locked in the cabinet.

Under the supervision of Jinyiwei, more than a dozen paper readers stayed in the Ministry of Rites and were forbidden to contact the outside world.

The next day, more than a dozen paper readers, led by cabinet scholars, came to the cabinet and began to read the examination papers of the palace examination.

According to the regulations, there are two days to read the papers, during which the test papers will be divided into more than a dozen tables, and each person will take turns to read the test papers at each table and grade the test papers.

Of course, the above is a normal situation, and the big guy who has the right to speak can recommend a certain test paper alone and persuade others.

This is worthy of being the strictest palace exam in history, and the examiners really don't know the name of each test paper, they can only see the number, and it feels like opening a blind box.

Therefore, the bigwigs can only make rough judgments based on the style and content of the test papers. If you don't have some basic skills and sensitivity to words, it's really hard to do.

Because of the current tense public opinion situation, the atmosphere at the scene of the reading of the paper was very depressing, and the bigwigs did not talk much, and there was no laughter at all.

Especially Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has no expression on his face, and his body is filled with the sharp momentum of not approaching the living, as if whoever touches him will die!

In the general operation of the assembly line, all the completed test papers will be sent to the first auxiliary case for final summary.

This process lasts almost two days, and on the third day is the time for the final results.

Among the more than 300 test papers, there were more than a dozen of them that could not even be written in the eight-strand essay, and they were sealed by Shen Shangshu with a sneer.

When it was time to open the papers, they would find Lin Tailai's test paper and present it to the emperor individually.

Then there is the most important work of the palace examination paper - to select the best three test papers as the top three and present them to the emperor.

And the emperor will determine the specific rankings of these three test papers, and this is how the champions, lists, and tanhua came about.

The bigwigs first selected the two test papers with the most praise, but about the last selected test paper, there was inevitable, as if fate, and there was a huge controversy.
