Chapter Ninety-Five: A Dilemma
On the other side, Meng Xing had already gone to the prison with Wang Junzhi to visit his mentor Wu Lin, but the strange thing was that Wu Lin only saw Wang Junzhi, and then asked Wang Junzhi to pass the word, only asking Meng Xing to study hard.
Wu Lin's attitude was very strange, if he was in prison and didn't see Wang Junzhi because he didn't want to be embarrassed by the students, then he wouldn't see Wang Junzhi.
If you say that you are afraid that it will affect the two of you...... But in fact, whether the two of them see it or not, they have actually been branded by the Qinghe Party, and Meng Xing's reputation is far and wide, and it is difficult for others not to pay attention to it.
Now I only see Wang Junyi's attitude, which is actually an obvious message to Meng Xing: Jinke Chunfu is not good for Meng Xing!
Meng Xing's four poems look at the sea building, especially the "Book of Thousands of Golds" changed "constant" to "constant", openly currying favor with the emperor, everyone knows that his goal is to be the champion,
Meng Xing's current reputation can be said to be famous all over the world, and these are all the foreshadowing he made in order to get the top prize.
However, Wu Lin was suddenly imprisoned, which caused Meng Xing's plan to suddenly encounter a huge haze.
Wu Lin was also aware of Meng Xing's ambitions, but he only told Meng Xing to study hard, and did not mention the title of the gold list.
King Yu mentioned that the cause of Wu Lin's crime was that he was selected in Nanyang County to only take candidates whose political views were biased towards the Qinghe Party, which caused an uproar, and later suffered retaliation from the Conservative Party, and repeatedly impeached and attacked the court to turmoil, and the emperor had to put him in prison and block the mouths of Youyou.
And Meng Xing, as Wu Lin's personal Xie Yuan, will naturally become the target of public criticism.
And since the emperor is guilty of Wu Lin, he is afraid that Meng Xing will be implicated in his attitude.
In the spring of March, the examination was the general examination, and the first pass of Meng Xing was to take the Jinshi examination.
If you can try a level, it will be a huge test for Meng Xing, and if you lose your name to Sun Shan, it will be disgraced.
It's just that Meng Xing's reputation is too loud now, and I don't know how much ridicule he will suffer if he doesn't succeed.
And it is quite possible to meet "snipers".
Wu Lin's imprisonment shows the emperor's attitude, and the chief examiner of the examination is definitely not from the Qinghe Party, and it is likely that he is not from the Conservative Party, but a neutral person.
When Wu Lincoln saw Wang Junzhi, he showed that the road to the student union examination of the Qinghe Party had not been completely blocked.
But when he refused to see Meng Xing, he told Meng Xing:
In order to alleviate the resentment of the Conservative Party and maintain balance, the Conservative Party has the upper hand among the deputy examiners of the examination.
And this time, Meng Xing will definitely be sniped, which is predictable.
will try this level, Meng Xing is already sad.
Only after passing the examination can you participate in the palace examination conducted by the emperor to determine the final ranking.
Even if Meng Xing passed the examination and became a tribute to enter the palace examination, I am afraid that the involvement of Wu Lin's case will have the greatest impact, because it is manipulated by the emperor himself.
The tributes are concentrated in the palace to hold the "palace test", which does not eliminate the candidates, but is divided into the first, second, and third grades according to the level of results.
Only three first-class students were recorded: champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, Cijinshi and No.;
A number of people in the second class were born as jinshi;
A number of people in the top three are from the same jinshi.
If it was because of the emperor's considerations, not because Meng Xing did not do well in the exam, but deliberately did not take Meng Xing in the first class, it would be a big failure for Meng Xing.
If it falls into the top three, it will be faceless.
Some people think that the ranking of the imperial examination is not very important, which is absolutely wrong.
In the ranking of the imperial examination, there is a joke about "such as Mrs." and "Tongjinshi", that is, "the same Jinshi is different from Jinshi, and Mrs. is not as good as Mrs."
For example, Mrs. is the little wife, and the "such as" in "such as Mrs. " means like and similar, but it is only like and similar, not really Mrs.
The word "same" in Tongjinshi ostensibly means "same", but in fact it means "different".
Zeng Guofan, one of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, ranked 38th in the 18th year of Daoguang's examination, and won the 42nd place in the top 3 in the palace examination, and was given the same Jinshi background.
The arrogant Zeng Guofan regarded this word "same" as a lifelong shame, but he was helpless and lingered on it for a lifetime.
Don't nominate the voice, and then talk about the real benefits:
Meng Xing got to understand the yuan and won the hidden achievement reward "Nine Turns Golden Pill", which saved his life.
Then the Huiyuan who can take the test and the champion of the palace test should be hidden achievements, even if it is not the Nine Turns Golden Pill, it should be similar things.
And the achievement of the three hidden achievements, and then the activation of the hidden achievements of "Lianzhong Sanyuan", is a series of achievements, if achieved, I don't know how rich the reward is, this is something that Meng Xing can't help but strive for.
Wu Lin didn't see him, maybe he wanted Meng Xing to avoid his edge, maybe he would come back to the exam three or six years later, and there would be no such resistance at that time, anyway, Meng Xing was still young.
But this year, Meng Xing can't be returned!
Even if you take a huge risk, you have to fight for a position that is destined to be full of hardships and dangers, and a champion position that is destined to have little hope!
When Meng Xing and Wang Junzhi left the Heavenly Prison together, they had already made a decision:
He'll see you tomorrow!
Yuwangfu received the wind and washed the dust overnight, needless to mention.
On the second day, Meng Xing went to the prison alone to meet Wu Lin.
Wu Lin was willing to see him this time.
The prison environment where Wu Lin is located is not bad, except that the smell around him is a little unpleasant.
The two met, and Meng Xing saw that Wu Lin's complexion was ruddy and radiant, not at all like a prisoner, so he also knew that he was not guilty of being imprisoned, and I am afraid that he also had a deep cultivation.
Meng Xing's eyes have been opened now, and he has also shaped the eye of the heroic spirit, and his vision is very powerful, so he can vaguely see Wu Lin's cultivation, judging from the hidden and leaky breath of national fortune around him, Meng Xing even feels that he is deeper than the cultivation of King Yu, and I am afraid that he is also shaped by the heroic spirit.
Wu Lin is different from King Yu, it is a real achievement, so it is more solid and profound than King Yu's opportunism.
Meng Xing thought secretly.
Wu Lin also looked at Meng Xing, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and Xie Yuan, who he had hand-picked, now had a skin like jade, and he looked more unique, no longer a simple beauty.
Meng Xing visited him twice, Wu Lin knew his intentions, and he was in a complicated mood at this time.
However, Wu Lin still looked relaxed and said with a smile:
"Xie Yuangong Black Wind Mountain slashed the snake demon and helped the prince recapture Xuanji Mountain, the merit obtained will not be to shape the skin of the heroic spirit, right? See you again today, it's really a response to the sentence that the stranger is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world,"
Wu Lin said casually, showing that he was also very concerned about Meng Xing.
"The teacher is joking." Meng Xing said frankly: "The student has created the eye of the heroic spirit, so I can also see that the teacher is doing well, and I will write to the master after I go back, so that he can also put his old man at ease." ”
"Master? Haha, you kid! Wu Lin nodded at him, and asked about some of the conditions in his hometown in Qinghe County, Meng Xing said them one by one, and talked about Master Wu's protection after his assassination, as well as his great help in the lawsuit, and thanked him again.
After a conversation, Wu Lin was even more emotional:
If it weren't for this year, this person would have really cultivated with all his might!
But now the situation can only tell him to rein in his edge first.
Therefore, after talking about these things, Wu Lin talked to Meng Xing about the situation of the examination and asked:
"So you've already decided?"
"The student decided."
Wu Lin was even more appreciative in his heart, if Meng Xing was going to lie dormant for a few years and then come to the test, he thought it was Lao Cheng's serious move, and he also agreed, but it was inevitable that he would feel that this person owed a little bit of meaning.
The current situation of their Qinghe Party is precisely to break free from the shackles of the Conservative Party and to stand out, they can't afford to wait......
But if we don't have the courage to fight now, how can we talk about the future?
If you only think about self-preservation, what is the difference between it and the Conservative Party?
Meng Xing was able to come to see him for the second time and show his attitude, and Wu Lin was very happy in his heart.
However, at present, the Qinghe Party has reached a compromise with the Conservative Party, and this matter is also the result of the emperor's weighing, and his imprisonment of Wu Lin is a signal to the outside world.
The dust has settled on this matter, and the Qinghe Party will not support the identity-sensitive "Nanyang County Juren" to come out and compete for the champion and champion, otherwise it will be a rekindling of the war, and even the emperor will not want to see it.
Wu Lin was also dissatisfied with this, but the situation was stronger than people, and he couldn't do anything.
Not only was he powerless, but he also had to support the decision of the Qinghe Party and sacrifice Meng Xing.
Just because of the sensitive identity of the "Nanyang County Juren", the most sensitive is "Xie Yuan Mengxing", this person is famous, it is difficult not to be noticed, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him!
The Conservative Party will definitely crack down on him, but the Qinghe Party will not be able to protect him if it wants to make an attitude.
Therefore, the first time Wu Lin did not see him, he was already persuading Meng Xing to avoid the edge for the time being, study hard, and wait for the next scientific examination.
If Meng Xing listens to the persuasion, the Qinghe Party will definitely compensate him and fully support him.
Wu Lin told Meng Xing about these situations again, and also made arrangements for him:
"If it is three years later, it is not difficult for you to learn to enter the Jinshi examination, and if you enter the palace examination, you can be guaranteed to enter the second class, and go directly to the ministry to study, even if you are the first class, it is not impossible to fight for it, and then you will enter the Hanlin Academy, and your identity will be even ......more noble."
Why is Wu Lin so confident?
Because the leader of the Qinghe Party is the emperor's mentor Gao Jin, and he is also the current Zhongshu Ling, one of the prime ministers of the dynasty, and he is in a high position!
But Meng Xing shook his head.
In the Jinshi examination, it is already the basic achievement point of 3000, and what he cares about most is to get the hidden achievements and rewards of Huiyuan, Zhuangyuan and "Lianzhong Sanyuan".
Moreover, in the sequence of "Reading to Sanctify", he chose the path of "Immortal Official", but it was contrary to Wu Lin's arrangement.
Moreover, after the case of Sun Youtian in Zishan County, Meng Xing's impression of the Qinghe Party was also very bad, and he even said that he was very disappointed.
In this case, Meng Xing is destined not to follow Wu Lin's plan, and this time he came here simply to thank Wu Lin and Master Wu for their help to him, not to use the strength of the Qinghe Party to help him seek a ranking in this meeting and palace examination.
Words should be made clear, so as not to damage the friendship between teachers and students.
Therefore, Meng Xing said directly: "Thank you for the teacher's arrangement, but the student will not retreat from this course." ”
“…… What, you? Wu Lin didn't expect him to be so stubborn and conceited.
But think about it, wasn't it like this when I was young? Wu Lin didn't say anything more.
Wu Lin is a person from the past and deeply understands the pride and self-confidence of the talents.
But in today's situation, he is not optimistic about Meng Xing at all, because this is against the trend!
Once upon a time, he also thought that he could defeat everything on his own, but the reality is cruel and has given him many slaps!
If he didn't rely on the strength of their Qinghe Party, on his own?
Wu Lin was also faintly uneasy in his heart, this person is not the temperament to listen to the arrangement with peace of mind.
On the other hand, Meng Xing's reputation is too big and his rise is too fast, which Wu Lin didn't expect, and he feels too sharp.
A sword that is too sharp can hurt others as well as yourself.
It needs to be frustrated to be useful.
When Wu Lin thought of this, he didn't persuade him more.
It is not a good thing to let him hit the wall first and suffer first.
When Meng Xing hit a wall, he naturally understood his good intentions.
However, Wu Lin has deeper worries.
Qinghe Party Jinke did not support Meng Xing because of his sensitive identity, however, in this year's imperial examination. They also have to continue to fight the Conservatives.
They have already identified a few other candidates to compete with the Conservatives.
If Meng Xing doesn't listen to the arrangement, and this person's talent to change the characters in the "Thousand Golden Book", even if he doesn't rely on the Qinghe Party, even if he is sniped by the Conservative Party, he may still pass the test...... If he enters the palace test, if he fights in the ring with the person they selected this year, this will make Wu Lin in a dilemma!
The rest of the Qinghe Party must also be very dissatisfied!
At that time, not only the Conservative Party, but also the Qinghe Party will suppress him!
