He Tai frowned, it was extremely rude to interrupt someone else's discussion like this, but Wei Ji looked calm, spoke very quickly, and quickly finished the next paragraph.

When everyone heard it, the front and back were really tight and clear, and it was from the same article.

Wei Ji raised her voice and said, "Brother Yan, isn't this my brother's article, why are you the same as me, and you have memorized it all"

When the scholars heard this, they began to discuss.

He Tai looked at it sharply.

Yan Si had already thought that it would not go so smoothly when he was reciting. But Wei Jin is a bit pedantic and will wait for him to finish the article before refuting it. He asked Su Jin to provoke in front of Wei Jin in advance. It is also to corrupt Wei Jin's mentality. Just imagine, if he recited Wei Jin's new article, Wei Jin would definitely be furious, but thinking of what the maidservant said, he was suspicious of the relationship between his wife Liu and Yan Si, and there was also the matter of stealing the article, even if he was calm, under the sudden stimulation of Yaji, he would have a moment of doubt whether it was his wife who handed over his article to Yan Si.

If it's true, it's a family ugly. Yan Si guessed that with Wei Jin's temper, he would never take the initiative to talk about this matter, maybe he would have to cover it up, so he could only grit his teeth and eat this secret loss.

After thousands of calculations, I didn't expect Wei Ji to suddenly open her mouth and preemptively say the next article.

At this moment, Yan Si held back a cold sweat, his brain spun quickly, and said, "This ...... Brother Bozheng, you taught Xiao Langjun what I showed you a few days ago."

Wei Ji sneered, so that everyone around him could hear clearly, "Brother Yan, this is obviously an article made by my eldest brother two years ago, why did it become what you did a few days ago?"

Yan Si's complexion changed suddenly, his eyes were staring at Wei Ji, others thought that the appearance of the fairy and jade was hateful in his eyes. Especially Wei Jin didn't speak, and Wei Jin, a child, spoke on his behalf.

She is young, and others always have to trust her more.

Yan Si hated it very much, and when it came to the end, he must not retreat, he pretended to be shocked, and said: "How can Wei Xiaolangjun be so young and believe it, could it be that someone taught you to say this"

Wei Ji said aggrievedly: "Yaji is a place for the selection of talents for the Zhongzheng Guan, how dare I talk nonsense, but the Yan family brother used my eldest brother's article to answer the Zhongzheng official exam questions, it is insincere, the Yan family brother must not be like this, honesty is the foundation of people, you still use your own articles." ”

Yan Sihou's molars were almost crushed, knowing that arguing with Wei Ji would inevitably suffer a loss, and this kid took advantage of his face and age. He turned to Hetai and bowed and saluted: "My lord, this article was written by me a few days ago, and there is a manuscript, maybe it was Brother Bozheng who read the article and taught it to Xiao Langjun, which caused a misunderstanding." ”

He Tai looked at Wei Jin, and then at Yan Si.

Wei Jin's face was full of disgust, while Yan Si was red and angry.

He Taidao: "How to prove yourself"

Yan Si said: "I have a manuscript. As he spoke, he said a few words to the officials who were guarding on the side, and the officials got the permission of the county order, and quickly went down the mountain to find Yan Si's servant and asked him to send the manuscript. The servant came up with a wooden box and opened it in front of everyone, and there was a stack of papers inside.

Wei Ji sneered in her heart when she saw this, this Yan Si is also a thoughtful person, knowing that it is suspicious to bring only one manuscript, and preparing so many to put together, not only to let everyone know that he did not bring it intentionally, but also to let the Zhongzheng official see his diligent and good writing side.

The manuscript was found, and Yan Si put his hands in the pavilion.

He Tai took it and read it, and sure enough, it was the text that Yan Si recited just now, and the latter part was also consistent with what Wei Ji said.

He looked solemn and asked Wei Jin, "You said that you made the article, what evidence do you have?"

Wei Jin Shi Shiran saluted and said, "I also have a paper manuscript, you can send someone to pick it up at home, please wait for a while." ”

This matter is extremely serious about the reputation of the scholars, and it is also related to the reputation of He Tai as a central official this year, if the selected person is a person who sells his reputation and has a ruined reputation, and is discovered in the future, the central official of the fixed product will also be implicated, so this matter must be decided today.

He Tai nodded.

The officials went down the mountain to inform the servants of the guards. The servants immediately set out for their homes.

Wei Ji knew that today's arrangement at home was like this, and she didn't bring the manuscript in advance, that is, she didn't know anything about this matter before.

While waiting for the servants to return from the manuscript, He Tai asked the remaining sergeants to answer the question just now.

An hour later, all the scholars had finished answering, and only Wei Jin and Wei Ji had not answered. Soon the servant came with the manuscript, sweating profusely, and looking at it as if he was hurrying to the road.

Yan Si originally looked calm, knowing that Wei Jin's manuscript was gone, and even gloating, waiting to see Wei Jin's expression of collapse when he couldn't find the manuscript.

When the servant brought the manuscript, he was astonished and dismayed.

Wei Jin handed the manuscript to the pavilion with both hands.

He Tai took it and looked at it, and glanced up at Yan Si.

The county magistrate saw the manuscript on the side and nodded with a smile.

They are all people who have been dealing with pen, ink and paper for a long time, and if you look at it alone, you still feel that Yan Si's manuscript is on the side, and you can immediately see the new and old paper and pen and ink when comparing the two. He Tai read the manuscript and handed it to the county order.

The county magistrate took Wei Jin's manuscript and praised it first, "It is strong and powerful, rigid and soft, and the Wei family works in the book, and it really deserves its name." ”

Hearing this, Yan Si twisted his neck violently and looked at the county order, with a shocked expression.

Just listen to this sentence, you know the attitude of the county order and Zhongzheng. His face was panicked, his temples were sweating, he didn't know what was wrong, and his eyes looked at the pavilion motionlessly.

He Tai opened his mouth and said, "Yan Si, when did you write this article?"

Yan Siqiang calmed down and said, "Yes, it was a few days ago." ”

He Tai sneered, "The article written by Wei Jin is old, it should be a year." You were able to write a word-for-word essay a few days ago that someone else did a few years ago."

Yan Si's brain slammed, all the luck was gone, he shook his head, his eyes were full of disbelief, he turned his head to look around, all the scholars had avoided him like a snake and scorpion, standing far away.

Yan Si was full of ambition, thinking that he would be able to make a splash today, but suddenly the peak turned around, and everything he prepared became a joke.

The Huang family also had a scholar in the crowd, and immediately laughed: "The article on stealing people, and writing an article in advance, is shameless, no wonder you can come up with an article on the spot." ”

Yan Si held his breath, couldn't go up or down, his eyes were split, and he pointed at Wei Jin and Wei Ji and said, "It's you...... Deliberately lure me into the urn......"

Wei Ji said: "Yan Jialangjun, how can a cow be forced to press his head if he doesn't drink water, who can force you to do the matter of stealing texts and stealing manuscripts."

In the place where Wei Jin was blocked and could not be seen in the pavilion, Wei Ji made an expression of sticking out his tongue and vomiting, and his face was full of banter and mockery.

Yan Si almost didn't catch his breath.

The author has something to say:

The ancient texts cited in the Q&A in the book are from the "Analects", "Zhuangzi", "Shishuo Xinyu", etc. I was not satisfied with the part I wrote last night, so I overturned and rewrote it, and the update was late, I'm sorry to thank the little angel who voted for me during 2023-02-11 10:47:34~2023-02-12 10:22:11~

Chapter 113 Chapter 112 Fixed

He was furious, blushing and waving his hand at Wei Ji. His reputation is ruined today, and he is eager to vent, and Wei Ji, who has exposed his old background many times just now, has become the primary target.

As soon as his hand was waved, he was caught, Wei Jin grabbed his wrist and scolded: "Shameless villain, dare to hurt my brother." ”

Wei Jin has been practicing calligraphy for more than ten years, his wrist is strong, Yan Si broke free twice, and the officials on the side have stepped forward to clasp his shoulders.

He Tai said angrily: "Stealing manuscripts and wanting to hurt people, Pengcheng Yan's family reputation has been ruined by you." When someone comes, take him into custody first, and then expel him from the county when he descends the mountain. ”

Yan Si seemed to have his bones taken away, the whole person fell soft, and he was grabbed by the officials and left, the scholars avoided the way one after another, and the scholars who stood there and watched already knew what had just happened, and at this time they were even more pointing. Yan Siru woke up from a dream, wept bitterly, and shouted loudly to He Tai for mercy.

He wept and cried embarrassedly, but He Tai became more and more unwelcome, only feeling that Sven was sweeping the floor and waving his hand to take him away quickly.

Seeing Yan Si struggling endlessly but still being dragged away by the officials like a dead dog, Wei Ji exhaled lightly, and the haze that had been buried in her heart for a long time seemed to be lifted and rediscovered. Yan Si's tragic situation could not arouse a trace of sympathy from her, only Changyi. In the previous life, Wei Jin was plotted, and he lost face on the Lingshan Yaji, and everything he suffered was no different from today's Yan Si.

After this time, Yan Si has no possibility of turning over, the central official has the duty of visiting the scholars, and He Tai has already issued an order to expel Yan Si, and the conclusion about his inferior character will definitely be conveyed to Pengcheng, even if Yan Si goes back, there is no possibility of making a fixed product. And he stole the manuscript, and made a big scandal on the Yaji, ruining the family's reputation together. Wei Ji thought about it and knew that he would not have a good time in the future.

He Tai returned Wei Jin's manuscript, and said with a soothing face: "I don't want such a thing to happen in this Yaji, it's not too early, your article is enough as an answer to this question, but what else do you want to add?"

Wei Jin said: "Let's let the disciple think about it again, it's better for my brother Yudu to answer first." ”

He Tai nodded faintly and smiled.

Wei Ji took a step forward, facing the pavilion, with a smile on her face, and said slowly: "A gentleman must be both dignified and faithful, and the lord of a hundred lines is also ......."

She is talking about the Analects of Linguistics, and the "gentleman is not dignified, he is not majestic" - if a gentleman is not dignified, there is no majesty. This article is about the virtues that a gentleman should have. Her voice is clear and crisp, and her recitation is very charming. What's even more wonderful is that after Yan Si stolen the article just now, I heard her say that she has a gentleman's character, which is very impressive.

After Wei Ji finished speaking, she waved at the pavilion.

He Tai said: "Although you are young, you already have a wonderful understanding of Confucianism, which is really rare. ”

When Wei Ji stepped back, he asked Wei Jin again if he would answer the question with this article.

Wei Jin shook his head and said, "This was done two years ago, and now there are new insights. So he replied again, and in the stolen article he said "whether there is love or not", and now he talks about "whether it should be or not".

All the scholars had already answered all the questions just now, and compared them secretly, they all felt that the article stolen by Yan Si was of the highest level, but Wei Jin answered it again this time, but everyone felt that it was better than the previous one, and they couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts, even if Yan Si's theft of the article was not exposed, it would still be at a disadvantage.

He Tai waited for him to finish speaking, and said with emotion: "Your wonderful explanation of the scriptures should be ranked first." ”

Wei Jin thanked him, and the scholars did not disagree.

He Tai waved his hand to let everyone rest for a while.

The scholars were not far away, and several groups were talking about it, and almost all of them were discussing the incident just now. Yan Si was not a local scholar, and the scholars despised him without the slightest psychological barrier. There are also many scholars who went to greet the two brothers of the Wei family, just now He Tai personally said that Wei Jin should be ranked first, that grade is definitely not low, and the future is promising. Everyone is a fellow villager, and it is better to have a friendship.

Waited for a cup of tea.

The official informed the scholar to come back and announce today's order. According to the order of answering the questions just now, one grade after another was reported by the mouths of the officials, some people were happy and some were worried, and some people shed tears on the spot. When it was the last two turns, the officials paused, and then shouted, "...... Wei Cong, sixth grade; Wei Jin, the fourth product. ”

The scholars congratulated the Wei brothers one after another. The fourth grade set by Wei Jin is already the highest grade in Jiangxia in recent years, and the upper three grades are not the highest grade that the county Zhongzheng can determine, and these four grades are also the highest products that Zhongzheng Hetai can promote. And Wei Ji's six grades are also amazing, there are four people among the scholars who are designated as six grades, and Wei Ji is the youngest among them.

At the age of fourteen, he will be fourteen years old and six grades, and when he becomes an adult in the future, he will go to participate in the state Zhongzheng Yaji, and the grade will be higher.

All the scholars foresaw that after this Lingshan Yaji, the Wei brothers would inevitably become famous, and no one in Jiangxia would be able to overshadow them.

The county magistrate watched the performance of the scholars in the pavilion, and said with a smile: "The Wei brothers are indeed outstanding, but this little Langjun is only fourteen years old and won the sixth grade, will it cause criticism?"

He Tai said with a smile: "He is not lacking in his appearance and talent, if anyone is not convinced, call him to come and see him." ”

The county magistrate laughed when he heard this. The trend of judging people by their appearance in this dynasty is too heavy, like Wei Ji, if she follows Pan An to Luoyang and goes to Jiankang in the future, I am afraid that the melons and fruits of women and girls can also be thrown full of cars. Just spread the reputation of the beautiful boy, but I am afraid that it will spread faster and wider than the name of the truly talented scholar.

At sunset, the Lingshan Yaji ended, and the scholars boarded the ox cart one after another, followed by the Zhongzheng Hetai car, and slowly descended from the mountain road.

At the foot of the mountain, the ox cart on which He Tai was sitting stopped.

The scholars saw He Tai get out of the car and talk to a young man on the side of the road.

Wei Ji noticed the movement outside, opened the door, and saw that the person talking to He Tai was long and heroic, it was Wei Zhao.

She was slightly taken aback, Wei Jin also looked out, and said in surprise: "Second brother Mo is not here to pick us up"

On Lingshan, all the scholars looked up at the Zhongzheng official He Tai, who was in worship, but he was not a little arrogant when he talked to Wei Zhao, the two were a generation apart in age, but their conversation attitude was like that of their peers, and even gave people the impression that He Tai's attitude was more humble and flattering.

He Tai got in the car and left. Wei Zhao hit his horse and hurried towards the ox cart behind, followed by more than a dozen guards on horseback.

All the scholars looked at each other in the ox cart, and their hearts were full of envy.

"Jingdao, why are you here?" asked Wei Jin.

Wei Zhao walked into the car, and saw Wei Ji sitting inside, his gaze was completely different from the coldness of the surroundings.

"Congratulations, big brother, Yudu," Wei Zhao already knew about the two of them just now, first congratulated, and then said, "I'm afraid you haven't cleaned up here yet, so I'll take a look." ”

At this time, the guards took over Yan Si from the hands of the officials. Yan Si didn't want things to change again, his eyes were red, and he struggled like a dying fish.

Wei Zhao snorted coldly in his nose and said, "It's this Sven sweeping thing that reached out to the Wei family to steal the text."

The guard drew his sword and held it high.

The soldiers exclaimed one after another, only to see the back of the guard's knife slashed down and smashed on Yan Si's knee.
