The trick of scientific research can be called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and Ye Xingyuan can't help but have a headache. In the past, he was not afraid to fight in the county, and even talked eloquently in front of the Erpin Domain.

Because even if he is a member of the imperial court, there are not many ways to deal with a scholar with a meritorious reputation, as long as this scholar does not break the law, but Ye Xingyuan met a nemesis this time, if it is really as he thinks.

A provincial school administration is the direct jurisdiction of Xiucai, although in terms of government affairs is the Qingshui Yamen, but it has a considerable ability to punish the most difficult to manage and the most unruly Xiucai. Xuezheng can even win the fame of the show, and the showmanship who is high up in the people will be beaten to the dust!

It can be said that the academic administration should add a scientific examination to select more outstanding scholars, which can be said to be justified within the authority. Ye Xingyuan can only suffer such a dumb loss, and as for the other rookies who have been brushed down, they are even more innocent of the pond fish.

If it was really as he guessed, Ye Xingyuan had to be full of emotion. Futai, Fantai, Zhentai, and Xuetai are the highest level of "four Taiwans" in the province, and they are united by three of them to block, which is really flattering, how can they be treated like this.

Therefore, this kind of righteous and bright conspiracy is the most tricky for Ye Xingyuan. In the final analysis, after all, it is still a lack of strength, and this time it is difficult again.

The reason why the imperial examination road is difficult is not only because of the ultra-high elimination rate, but also because of the difficulties caused by various off-site factors. Thinking of this, Ye Xingyuan really hoped that he was a person with persecution illusions, and all speculations were false.

At the same time, Lord Xuezheng Wang was writing hard in the yamen without raising his head. He is about 60 years old, gray-haired, originally born in Hanlin, has always been a Beijing official, and has only been released from school politics in recent years. has been pampered for many years, but his appearance is still clear, his square face is not angry and arrogant, and there are deep wrinkles on his forehead.

"Grand Master. The news of the scientific expedition has been notified, and the rookies seem to be very dissatisfied, especially those whose families are poor and have not yet arrived in the provincial capital, and they are even more complaining, "There is a promotion officer coming in." Cautiously looked at the face of the school desk report.

Wang Xuetai didn't care, he only said "um" lightly, until the book in his hand was finished, then he raised his head and said casually: "The system of scientific examination." It's been there since ancient times. This time, the queen mother's longevity, the court is gracious, and the grace is correct, and there are many opportunists who want to get through the tricks, and we must not judge them strictly. ”

The number of admissions for Enzheng and the subject is almost double that of the perennial year, which naturally greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the candidates, and the number of applicants for the provincial examination this time is far greater than in the past, and many old talents who have not been tested for many years can't help but itch and hold a fluke mentality. And the rookies who may have been honing for a few more years are not willing to let go of this opportunity.

In this sense. Wang Xuetai wants to pre-screen and improve the quality of the provincial test, and it cannot be said that it is wrong. But it is only for rookies, and preferential treatment for old talents, which is inevitably criticized.

Even a few of his subordinates were also slandered, I heard that this Wang Xuezheng also tried and failed many times back then, and later got an old Xuezheng Qingyan, so he was named to be promoted. I heard that he was almost crazy when he was lifted, and it was a joke for a while, and then he rose to the top. Jinshi was born in the pavilion and chose Hanlin, so few people mentioned the scandals of the year.

With such an experience, Wang Xuezheng naturally empathized with the old talents, and was dissatisfied with those high-spirited and high-spirited young talents. This is human nature. Fortunately, this school station is quite wise, not by age, but by the old and the new, so as not to cause too much backlash.

"There are a total of 367 rookies from various prefectures, and a total of 280 have signed up for the scientific examination, and the rest should be inconvenient. or not confident" the remediator continued to report.

Wang Xuetai said indifferently: "It can be regarded as self-aware, but there are so many people who come to take the test, it is really terrifying." The official heard that there was a Ye Xingyuan in Hanjiang Mansion, did he sign up?"

The promotion officer checked the roster, nodded and said, "There is really this person, he has already signed up for the scientific examination." ”

Wang Xuetai didn't speak again, and asked the name of a Xiucai in his academic and political capacity, which was already an exception. If you say a few more words, I am afraid that there will be superfluous conjectures in the heart of the promoter.

However, Ye Xingyuan's reputation is too great, especially in Jiangzhou officialdom, it can be said that it is thunderous, and it is not too much to mention it in Xuetai. The commissioner secretly speculated, not knowing what the school's impression of this young genius was.

In the scorching summer, the mood of the rookie talents is very low, although the scientific examination is not as strict as the provincial examination, but the elimination rate is still very high.

According to the news from the inside, among the more than 300 celebrities this time, only a few dozen can be recorded as first-class at most, which means that it is likely to be eliminated. If they miss this time, they won't have such a good opportunity next time, and they may be wasted for more than ten or even decades.

It's a pity that they borrowed a hundred guts, and they didn't dare to scold the school platform for being stupid, so they could only stay up until the exam date, and gather outside the examination room with sad faces, waiting for this inexplicably extra fateful exam.

Ye Xingyuan stood quietly in the crowd, not making a sound or coming out, this level had to be passed no matter what. Anyway, he is fully prepared, and he must definitely come up with the most powerful article, no matter what the purpose of the school table, to see if he can brush himself down with a clear conscience.

At this time, Wang Xuezheng sat in the center of the examination room, his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't care about anything. He didn't care about the grievances of these new talents, because he knew that on the ground in Dinghu Province, there was absolutely no scholar who dared to provoke him, the great master of academic politics.

These unruly young geniuses should be taught more lessons in order to understand that the world is difficult and cannot be played at a young age!

"Today's scientific examination is not to make it difficult, but it is actually the great master who considers all senders, and needs to be honed more in order to improve the article. The promotion officer lectured before the exam, but he didn't even believe in himself, and his confidence was a little weak, "No matter if it is more natural and spiritual, but on the level of scripture and righteousness, article skills, this is the foundation of learning!"

This statement is of course undoubtedly correct when taken out on its own. If a normal scholar wants to ponder the heavens and obtain spiritual power, the only way to study the scriptures of the saints, delve into knowledge, and refine the skills of the articles is the royal way.

The deeper the understanding of the scriptures, the thicker the accumulation of spiritual power, and the more beautiful and smooth the writing skills, the more heavenly opportunities can be aroused with less spiritual power.

If you are not selfish, then the examination of academic politics is not untargeted, but it is a pity that in the current situation, it is deliberately aimed at the group of rookie talents, if the great master has no other ideas, Ye Xingyuan will not believe it.

"It's better to say than to sing. "Rookie talents are not stupid, they just dare to be angry and dare not speak, and many people are muttering in secret.

Because it is a temporary increase in scientific examinations, the system is naturally not as strict as the provincial examination, and there is no body search, only one article. However, the proposition is completely in charge of Xuezheng alone, and even the promotion officer assigned to cooperate next to him does not know in advance.

Waiting until all the rookies sat down, Wang Xuetai opened his eyes and said loudly: "This scientific expedition is based on the strategy of Tuntian and the frontier. It is important to know that the article is based on practicality, and the best way to write this strategy is to apply what you have learned. If you can't do it, you don't need to take the provincial test, and if it's well written, the official will not hesitate to recommend it. ”

The scholars gasped, and those who were not prepared were even more worried. Compared with the provincial examination, there is one more policy theory, which is itself an obstacle to the examination and fame.

After all, I haven't taken the test before, and the article is just an extension of the sage's righteousness, relatively speaking, it is still someone else's point of view, which has a relatively high chance of triggering the heavens. However, the strategy is different, it is to use the subtle words of the sages to solve practical problems.

If it can't be in line with the Holy Dao, the Heavenly Opportunity naturally shouldn't, and even if it can be in line with the Holy Dao, the lack of effectiveness still can't be recognized by the Heavenly Machine, so the requirements for policy theory are naturally relatively high.

Fortunately, this exam does not need to be judged by the heavens, and many people secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they think of this.

Ye Xingyuan's brows furrowed even tighter, if Xuezheng really wanted to target him, this method was really thoughtful. The article expounds the way of the sage, as long as Ye Xingyuan does a good job, Xuezheng cannot be fully refuted no matter what.

But the policy theory is not, the views here are too different, if Ye Xingyuan's views are contrary to Wang Xuetai, the great master can completely devalue his policy theory to worthless.

However, it is also limited to the use of spiritual power to hook the heavens, so there is no reason to refute Wang Xuetai, at most it can only be a dispute of truth. But what position does a Xiucai have to argue with the Grand Master?

Unless his Ye Xingyuan's article can really convince everyone, maybe there is room for redemption? This time, with the title of Tuntian Shubian, Ye Xingyuan searched in his mind, looking for the most reliable article.

After Wang Xuetai announced the topic, he stopped talking. The promoter hurriedly added, "Today's exam questions are limited to half a day, and those who complete them can submit the papers first, and the grand master can judge them on the spot." ”

Ye Xingyuan sighed, according to this situation, he was able to win by numbers? If you can't write one article, you can write another one? Hit it until the great grandmaster is satisfied? However, the strategy is not like an ordinary article, let alone a poem, and once you write it, it may be sprinkled with thousands of words, and the time is inevitably a little tight.

Ye Xingyuan gritted his teeth, thought for a while, and slowly sharpened the ink while considering the gist of this strategic topic.

Recently, the northern invaders have invaded the border, and the imperial court has been quite shaken, there are those who are the main fighters, there are those who are peacemakers, and some people talk about solving the problem of the northern barbarians once and for all. Among them, the theory of Tuntian garrisoning the border is quite marketable, but it is not the mainstream after all.

What is Wang Xuetai's purpose in taking this as a topic? Ye Xingyuan always can't help but think about things a few more layers now, and when he puts pen to paper, he is a little more calm and sophisticated.

In fact, the promotion officials also paid attention to Ye Xingyuan, a young talent with a good reputation, and seeing that he was almost the first to write in the audience, they couldn't help but feel itchy and unbearable, and wanted to quietly go over to take a look, but they didn't dare to move because of Wang Xuezheng's majesty.
