Chapter 132: The Literary Examination Begins
The young man was a little thin, but definitely not thin, and there seemed to be a lot of strength hidden under his thin clothes.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun in the east, a little yearning, but also a little afraid, and he didn't dare to approach, so he was a little deliberately cold, just like Chen Changsheng's attitude towards the prosperous world.
The morning sun gradually rose, breaking through the thin clouds on the horizon, and finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was still looking at Chen Changsheng and was talking about it - I heard that he didn't succeed in washing the marrow, why did he take the first place in the Great Dynasty Examination?
Gou Hanshi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that Chen Changsheng today was a little different from when he saw him in the Shinto that day, and he couldn't see through what had changed.
Mao Qiuyu naturally did not line up with ordinary teachers and students, sitting on the viewing platform in the palace, he looked at Chen Changsheng in the distance, and thought slightly, he actually succeeded in washing the marrow, but how did he feel a little strange?
Chen Changsheng was about to ask Tang Thirty-six if he could see the lonely young man in the Star Picking Academy team, when Priest Xin had already walked over.
"Gotta win. Priest Xin patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Chen Changsheng was a little incomprehensible, a few days ago, Priest Xin went to the National Religious College several times in a row, but he didn't say such a thing, he just wanted to relieve the pressure for him, why did he say this before the big test today.
"I bought my whole net worth and you won. Priest Xin looked at him and said, "If you can't get the top spot today, remember to go to Luoshui tomorrow to collect the body for me." ”
In the current situation, if Chen Changsheng can't get the top spot, the most affected thing is not the National Education Academy, but the Teaching Center behind the National Education Academy, if the Teaching Center can't hold on, Priest Xin naturally has no future at all, in this case, it makes sense for him to use all his family property to buy Chen Changsheng to win.
Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say, Tang Thirty-six said, "No wonder the odds changed so much last night. ”
In terms of money activities, the Wenshui Tang family has always been unwilling, although they don't care about the small amount of money in the big court's gambling game, they are still staring at it quite tightly.
Priest Xin said: "If it's just my net worth, where can it affect the odds of the market?"
They looked at the viewing platform in the palace and looked at the biggest backer of the Anglican Academy.
There, Lord Bishop Merisa squinted his eyes slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was asleep or awake at all, and no one knew how much money he had staked on Chen Changsheng.
Similarly, no one knew how much money Mo Yu, who was sitting next to him, bet on Chen Changsheng.
Yes, Miss Mo Yu thought that Chen Changsheng could get the first place on the list, although there was no reason, but inexplicably, she thought he could do it.
......
......
The Great Dynasty Examination is divided into three competitions: the literary test, the martial test and the battle, in no order, and is decided temporarily every year. After the regulations came out five days ago, many people thought that this was the care of the Cardinal Office for the National Education College, to be precise, for Chen Changsheng.
The literary test will be held in the Zhaowen Hall of the Imperial Palace, and there is still some time before it starts, Priest Xin lowered his voice and hurried to introduce the three teenagers of the National Religious Academy to the opponents who were competing with them today, although he sent the relevant materials to the National Educational Academy a few days ago, but only then could he match the person with the name.
Listening to the introduction, Tang Thirty-six's expression became more and more cold, Chen Changsheng was still so silent, there were too many strong enemies who came to participate in the Great Dynasty Examination this year, and there were some masters who signed up with other identities, or were hiding in some sects at this time, these people now regarded the National Education Academy and Chen Changsheng as targets, and the pressure they were under can be imagined.
At this time, there was a faint commotion in the crowd, many people stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, Chen Changsheng and the others turned around, only to see a chariot from the depths of the palace, slowly walking along the straight divine road, more than ten maids followed silently on the chariot, and Li Nushi walked in front of the chariot.
Under the gaze of countless people, the chariot passed by the stone pillar and came to the field, stopping at the position of the Anglican College.
Luoluo walked down from the chariot and saluted respectfully to Chen Changsheng: "I've seen Mr." ”
The crowd was in an uproar, and the students who were about to take the imperial examination were even more commotion, especially some people who had only recently come to Kyoto, had only heard of that rumor, and only then did they know that the rumor was actually true, and His Royal Highness Luoluo really worshipped the young man named Chen Changsheng as his teacher!
Since that young man is His Royal Highness's teacher, he must have real talent and learning, many people think so, but it is still impossible to win the first place.
The young scholars of Huaiyuan looked in the direction of the National Religious College with indifferent expressions.
Zhuang Changyu looked ahead, as if he didn't notice it, but his sleeves were trembling slightly.
Gou Hanshi and others opposite the National Education College saluted Luoluo.
Chen Changsheng reminded Luoluo, Luoluo turned around, nodded slightly over there, and returned the salute.
"You came to cheer us on?, did the Pope agree?" Chen Changsheng asked as he looked at her with concern.
"Sir, I am a student of the National Education Academy, and of course I have to represent the National Education College to participate in the Great Imperial Examination. ”
Luoluo thought for a moment and added, "The Pope has agreed. ”
When the two were talking, they didn't deliberately lower their voices, and their childish voices floated in the square in front of the palace and reached everyone's ears.
There was an uproar!
Zhuang Changmo couldn't hold back anymore and turned to look.
The young scholars in Huaiyuan frowned slightly, as if they were a little displeased.
The people who were preparing to take the Great Pilgrimage Examination were shocked by the news, and they were willing to accept it.
Only Gou Hanshi and the other four sons left the mountain, their expressions were as calm as before, and there was no change.
Many people are confused or dissatisfied, but the first to dare to raise objections to this is the most well-behaved and wooden Su Moyu in the palace annex: "If Your Highness wants to participate, how can this compare?"
The bishop opened his eyes, tightened his robe in the cold wind, and said indifferently: "Your Highness only participates, not counts the ranking. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and only then did they understand that if His Royal Highness Luoluo insisted on participating in the Great Imperial Examination as a student of the National Education Academy, there would be no reason for them and their colleges and sects to stop them, and at this time, His Highness would not occupy the top three places, what else could they say?
With nothing to say, time continued to pass, and with a crisp bell ringing from the depths of the palace, the Great Dynasty Trial officially began.
Hundreds of young men and women stood in front of the Zhaowen Hall, the morning breeze blowing their clothes and the morning sun shining on their youthful faces.
The elders of the various academies and sects had already left, and only themselves were left, and the word nervousness could be clearly seen on the faces of many people.
In terms of the National Education Academy, only Xuanyuan Po was very nervous, when he first participated in the admission assessment of the Star Picking Academy, he had already exposed his shortcomings, although he was taken by Chen Changsheng to read a lot of books in the National Education Academy in the past few months, but thinking that he was about to face those dense ink characters, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
"Time is the most important thing, if you can answer, don't think about it if you can't answer, just pass. Tang Thirty-six said to him: "The three exams are consecutive, and the literary exam is immediately followed by the martial arts exam, no matter how good the results of the literary exam are, if you can't pass the martial arts exam, you won't be able to get on the battlefield, and you won't have any results in the end." ”
Xuanyuan Po nodded, thinking that he could only do this. Chen Changsheng knew that Tang Thirty-six was also reminding himself not to delay too much time in the literary examination - whether he could pass the martial arts examination was the most worrying thing, as for the results of the literary examination, no one would be worried, just look at the eyes of the people in front of the Zhaowen Palace.
Many people are still looking at Chen Changsheng at this time, but unlike before or before, there is no doubt or even ridicule in their eyes, only faint jealousy or complex admiration.
After the battle between the Qingteng Banquet and the Lishan Sword Sect, and the comments of the Tianji Pavilion when the Qingyun List was changed, no one questioned Chen Changsheng's ability in terms of knowledge, and people were shocked to find that after Gou Hanshi, a monster who had read through the Dao Zang finally appeared again in the younger generation.
No one believed that Chen Changsheng would be able to get the first place on the list, but everyone admitted that in the literary test, he definitely had the ability to challenge Gou Hanshi and get the best reputation, and the odds offered by the major gambling houses in the mainland for the literary test also proved this, and his odds are now only ranked second after Gou Hanshi.
The second bell rings, and the candidates enter.
The Zhaowen Hall was huge, dozens of doors were opened at the same time, and under the eagle-like gaze of the state priests and officials of the Qing Officials, hundreds of young people rushed in, not knowing who would turn into a dragon later, who would swim into the fishing basket of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and who would be miserably taken out of the water by the eagle falcon.
The silent array was opened, and the curtain hung down on the shelter corridor that came with the Zhaowen Palace, and only Qingguang could enter the hall, and the wind and rain and noisy noise could not.
The ground in the hall is extremely wide, there are hundreds of tables, still not crowded, very clear, each table is very far apart, even if the eyesight is good after washing, it is difficult to quietly peek at the answer to the table, not to mention that there are at least twenty priests above the secret realm in the field.
The priest handed out the question papers, and the candidates began to flip through them, and the sound of the paper sounded, and they converged in one place, as if a heavy rain had fallen.
Some people did not flip through the question papers, but began to grind ink and meditate, such as Tianhai Shengxue.
Some people are bored in a daze, such as Luoluo, anyway, her grades don't count, naturally too lazy to bother to do those topics, after a while, a priest walked up to her desk, respectfully saluted, whispered a few words, and then she got up and left with the priest, should have gone to the side hall to rest.
Some people began to recuperate with their eyes closed, such as the single-clothed young man that Chen Changsheng had been secretly paying attention to.
Some people should do what to do, look at the scroll if they want to, grind the ink if they want to grind the ink, look at the people they are interested in, close their eyes if they want to close their eyes, reach out to the tea when they feel a little thirsty, rub their eyes when they feel a little sleepy, just like today is just an ordinary day, such as Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi.
Not deliberately calm is the real calm, which represents self-confidence.
The third bell rings, and the candidates begin to write.
Chen Changsheng picked up the pen, did not drop the scroll, looked at the ink words on the scroll, and was silent for a while.
From the old temple of Xining to the bustling Kyoto, from a young Taoist priest unknown to the attention of everyone, it took him ten months.
He put pen to paper and began to scroll.
Not far away, Gou Hanshi also began to answer questions.
