Chapter 117: The Half-Volume Controversy
On the tenth day of the sixth month, the king led the second king, King Deng and three civil officials to move to the palace of the book with great interest, and evaluated the national fortune of this department and the papers of the royal examination once in three or five years.

"You wait for the side hall to take the exam, and this king waits for the main hall!"
"Yes, my lord!" the two kings and the others replied in unison, and once the roll box was opened, no one could leave the book hall.
In the side hall, several people began to read the papers non-stop.
From time to time, the second king really found a few folds and an ink-stained examination paper, which looked overjoyed, and a few examination papers had no new meaning, so he said to Deng Wang and the others: "The king is kind-hearted, and as long as the handwriting of the damaged papers is legible, they will be evaluated according to the correct coupons, and there is no need to discount the ranking." ”
"Yes!" replied the three civil servants.
Although King Deng's eyebrows were thin, he still wrinkled, why was the second king, who had always been intolerant, so upright and awe-inspiring, as long as it was not difficult for students.
The Wang examined the papers, and the five people evaluated each test paper separately, and gave one of the ten days of dry stage from A to Gui, with A being the highest and B being the second...... In the end, the five people are ranked together, and the top five are handed over to the king.
There was no speech for a whole day, and when it was close to the evening of the night, there was a dispute in the side hall.
The half of the test paper whose name I don't know!
Soon, several people rushed into the main hall with five test papers and half of the paper to ask for the king's order!
When the king saw that the review was over, he couldn't help but get excited, "But the judgment is over?" Seeing that the second king and King Deng were blushing at each other, he raised his hand and said, "It's okay, you and the others are all patriotic, sit down and say, what happened?"
King Deng couldn't put it down with the test paper, and his voice raised half a point and said: "Back to the king, the old minister saw a peerless wonderful article, but unfortunately only the first half of the volume, the main book was torn off to the subtleties, no matter what the reason, it is definitely not the candidate's own intention, according to the old minister's opinion, this book is endless, naturally there is a later text, a glimpse of the whole leopard, we should judge according to the first half of the words, not in vain to send the candidate's learning......"
"Great King!" The second king thought that he was not a member of Chen Wangmen's family in this life, but he still wanted to stop it, the purpose was to gain some face for himself to show fairness, and he stopped his speech without waiting for King Deng to finish speaking, "Although this article is indeed incisive, it can only be said in half a word, once the rumor goes out after Gao, the people below follow suit, and the courtiers who are the head of the civil officials are extremely panicked."
When the king heard this, he shook his head slightly, how could there be any reason for the examinees to review half of the paper, so he glanced at the test paper, and suddenly saw the opening words: "Writer, Wu is also ......" suddenly got up, grabbed the test paper and read it out loud: "Wen Shun Wu is weak and can be bullied, and there are empty general words; Wu Liwen is stubborn, only the handle of Zheng Zheng remains...... The way of civil and martial arts, the law can be governed by military rules, the road of the long soldiers, the martial arts can protect Ze Wenzheng, and the country of prosperity for a long time, if it is too dense, it will be civil strife, and if it is too separated, it will be weak ......" After that, there are only half lines of words, which cannot be distinguished.
The king was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and immediately paced and wandered in the hall, too dense is civil strife, and too far away is weak, this is exactly what he thinks in his heart, needless to say, the second half must be the way to crack it, as long as he finds this person without a volume, what does it matter? ! After walking for half a moment, he came back to his senses, raised his hand and pointed to the test paper in the hand of the second king and asked: "But the top five people?"
The second king immediately said yes.
The king immediately took the five volumes and read them one by one, and this time his heart was swaying, and all five tops were opened! This time, the royal examination was far beyond the past, and he studied all the fine theories in depth, but after reading the four volumes, he directly handed the fifth volume to the second king.
"This ......" The two kings were a little hesitant, which meant that the students in that half volume were included in the top five!
The king immediately put away his smiling face, kept shaking the half of the test paper in his hand, and stroked the second king's shoulder meaningfully and said: "This article does have a lot to learn, and I am very happy for my brother, but this king can't ignore the difficulties of his subordinates, for so many years, you have been working hard for the country, and you have not yet married, which makes my brother very unbearable," the king said brotherly feelings, "My heart has been decided, and today the king will determine this student as Wenkui, the first place! You can rest assured, tomorrow will open the dynasty, because there is no catering from you, from the hall to argue, will never let the younger brother give someone a handle!"
The second king was a little moved, not that the king was so stubborn, but in front of everyone he personally called himself a brother and a brother to appease himself, not only thinking of Mu Feiling, but also thinking of the eternal queen, sadness and self-blame came to his heart together. Yes, since the king ascended the throne, he has never felt sorry for himself, and he has no sense of shame, but he has harmed the eternal queen, and now the protector of the country relies on his own voice as the ruler of the country, and it is even more thick and unshakable, it is really a stone to shoot himself in the foot......
"The king, the old minister agreed!" King Deng was even more overjoyed when he saw that the king had actually killed this person as Wen Kui.
The second king had no choice but to cater to him: "Brother king, but you are the master, although the subordinate brother has bellflower in his heart, but this matter is still obeyed by the brother is ......."
The other three civil officials did not dare to express their position, because they did not dare to say it because King Chen was not there.
"Okay!" the king laughed, "Is there anything else wrong with this marking?" He suddenly remembered that Nan'er's test paper was still inside!
Chen Wang immediately replied: "Congratulations to the king, all the test papers have been evaluated, although there are a few test papers that are occasionally stained, but the text has not been damaged, the second prince is generous-minded, charitable, and the students who are not embarrassed are still evaluated step by step, but this test paper suddenly has an extra copy, I don't know how to arrange it?"
The king knew that it was because Nan'er's test paper was included, so he smiled indifferently: "That's okay, there must be someone who has nothing to do to write more, and after opening the book tomorrow, find someone with the same name and choose the one with the highest score to calculate, if there is no name, it can only be a waste paper." ”
"Yes, King!"
The king suddenly felt that something was wrong, and deliberately asked, "Is there anything unusual in the examination paper?"
Deng Wang immediately replied, "One of the exam papers, the penmanship is weak and weak, and there are many wrong words, and the old minister estimates that the candidates deliberately do this to distinguish the work of the main paper," said Deng Wang went out to find the exam paper and walked in, holding the test paper and said, " However, the idea of this article is very unique, although it is not the way of the literal and martial arts, but the things of the civil and military can be practiced since childhood, saying that the literary can cultivate the mind, the martial arts can strengthen the body and the country, and inadvertently give the civil and military to the real person, and the literati, the martial arts also have the same magic, the ministers read their handwriting sloppy, there are many mistakes, and it is ranked in the fifty-eighth place......"
"Haha, you can actually make the list," the king blurted out, "If this article is written in this king's penmanship, how many rankings can you enter by waiting for the judge?"
The second king thought that the king was blaming, and hurriedly replied: "Forgive the ministers and other negligence, although the text of this chapter is wrong, the meaning of the argument is shallow, but there are words of civil and military strategy, and occasionally a few sentences are very mental, so it will be included in the list; if the penmanship is strong, the ministers and others think that they can be ten places ahead of schedule, ranking forty-eighth." ”
The king raised his hand and pointed to the test paper overjoyed, and then said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, since it has nothing to do with the top five, just remember the ranking, open it and take a look, see who is making trouble?"
"Yes!" Erwang, Deng Wang and others unwrapped the rope at the same time and immediately replied, "This person has not written his name, and this must be the second work." ”
"Cancel this ranking, it will be regarded as a waste scroll! Later, this king will send someone to call you and others to eat together. The king ordered
"Thank you, King!" the five of them said in unison.
After that, the king rushed to the queen's bedchamber, knowing that the queen and others were still waiting for news.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Wang Gongzi ran over and asked, "Father, do you know Nan'er's ranking?"
The king immediately looked at the queen and Fu Rou, feigned anger, and stood there with a solemn face.
The queen immediately understood, after all, the king was here, and she was afraid that the king's words would hurt Rou'er, so she hurriedly said: "Nan'er is only eight years old, how can she be compared with the world's talents, and it is reasonable that she has not been scored...... "The queen thinks that it is either difficult to judge the test paper and not allowed to be scored on the list, or it is judged to be a zero score.
Fu Rou grinned, and her heart was not very good, but what she saw Nan'er's book with her own eyes could be regarded as having rules and laws, and it was also made in heaven for children, but she still comforted Wang Gongzi: "It's all to blame Aunt Rou for being troublesome, Nan'er, don't be discouraged, those candidates have been practicing for thirty or even forty years to refer to, and there are only sixty-three people in the south who have won this award." ”
Wang Gongzi pouted, although he was not convinced, but since his aunt said so, he quickly accepted the reality.
"Unsatisfactory, unsatisfactory......," the king muttered, but a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he grabbed the little boy and said with a laugh, "My Nan'er is not only on the list, but also fifty-eighth!"
The queen exclaimed, "Is it really on the list?
Fu Rou covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, she jumped up excitedly, which undoubtedly means that even if the text is still incomprehensible, if you participate in the preliminary examination and re-selection, you can completely win in some cities!
Nan'er didn't know what this fifty-eighth place meant, but seeing that her father, queen mother and aunt were so happy, she must have done well in the exam, so she immediately broke free from her father's hand and ran straight to Fu Rou, Fu Rou hurriedly leaned down, hugged Nan'er and smiled and shed tears, Nan'er stretched out her little hand to wipe away her aunt's tears, tilted her head and said: "Aunt Rou, next time I take the test, I want to get the first place!"
"Yes, number one!" Fu Rou pouted and cooperated with the little prince, and that demeanor couldn't help but provoke the king and queen to laugh knowingly.
When the king saw Nan'er so good, he immediately said: "Master Rouwang, you have taught Wang Gongzi to be meritorious, and this king will definitely reward you, saying, what reward do you want?"
Fu Rou suddenly thought that Brother Wentu must still be sad at this moment, because he was still sad when the two met, and then the general had told himself that the master of the scholar's elegant room had replaced Murong Zheng to participate in the royal examination, indicating that Murong Zheng had died in the fire, so he suddenly thought: "Rou'er does have a reward to ask the king for permission!"
"Just pipeline!"
"The master of the scholar's elegant room bothered to find out the king's talent, but unfortunately someone lost his life, and in desperation, he took the test for his deceased friend, and begged the king to forgive his innocence, after all, it was for the deceased king's talent......"
"Quasi!" the king had already made up his mind, "Not only that, but this king also wants to give Murong Zheng a name, and there is ......"
............
Wentu leaned outside the inn door, looking at the half-moon in amazement. What is the scroll of Su Shi? Fu Rou's misty eyes are poignant, when will he end the mission? What is the current situation of Cheng Jiazhuang? Mu Nu Day, Lily, and Cheng Beibei are okay? What kind of punishment will he receive for taking the exam on his behalf?
Tomorrow is the day when the dynasty is released, what is the fate of the people in the scholar's room......
