Chapter 253: The Examiner Argues

As soon as Helian Xiong died, the demon clan had no fighting spirit and fled in a big way. The river was full of burning ships, burning half the sky. Ye Xingyuan stood tall on the water village, looking forward to his self-pride, and chanted: "Heroic hair, lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is in ashes." ”

There was a sound of sycophancy below, and the candidates knew that they had won this battle, and following Ye Xingyuan would be considered a result. No matter what the situation of the Southern Jin Dynasty was in the end, they would eventually be Jinshi.

In the battle of Baiyaji, Ye Xingyuan broke the 200,000 army of the demon clan with less than 10,000 sailors. The demon clan's plan to repair the plank road and darken Chen Cang completely failed, so he completely gave up the idea of building a sailor to win Linjing, and turned to attack Jingxiang.

Ye Xingyuan gave up the imperial court reward, led the old department of volunteers, rushed to Jingchu non-stop, and trapped the lonely city for 16 years, so that the demon army could not move forward. Whenever people cite the virtuous people at that time, they will say "Ye Shusheng", and his name will move the world.

Later, the ammunition ran out of food, and Ye Xingyuan finally broke the city and martyred the country, but time has changed, and the demon clan no longer has the overwhelming advantage it had back then. The rebel army in the south of the river in Hedong not only destroyed the small court of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but also determined to go on the Northern Expedition, swept the Central Plains, drove away the demons, and became the rise of the human race.

Because of Ye Xingyuan's existence, he avoided the darkest twenty years in the history of the human race, and this feat caught up with the famous generals of the previous dynasty. It's just that Ye Xingyuan is not a military general, he is unfamiliar with martial arts, he is not good at archery, and he can only barely ride a horse. In all battle formations, you can only command from afar, and you can't risk arrows and stones yourself.

But it is such a scholar who can save the world, which is convincing, just in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many Ye Xingyuan Ancestral Halls. It's a pity that this is just an illusion, otherwise with this belief, even if he can't fly in the flesh, he will be a god after death.

Twenty years of sudden dreams, when Ye Xingyuan and the candidates who followed him woke up, they were no longer in the bloody battlefield and the Shura Hell that broke the city. Instead, he sat quietly in the sun-blazing examination room. It is quiet on all sides, only the spring breeze blows.

Ye Xingyuan sat in place, his heart was clear, and he suddenly felt like he was in another world. In front of him, a poem, an article, and a strategy have ended, and the table is shining with golden light!

"Among the candidates, can An have such good luck?" The three scholars on the high platform glanced at each other, and at the same time expressed emotion and questions. They can see that the atmosphere in the examination room is rising to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the surging is incomparable!

"Great talent was born. It will definitely save the world!" Xi Mingsheng, a scholar of the Second Auxiliary Palace, clapped his hands and praised. He is more than ten years younger than the first assistant Yan Bingzhang, and he has not yet reached sixty years. His hair is jet black, his face is wrinkled, and he has three locks of long beard under his chin.

Shen Xiao, a scholar of Dongge University, wandered around the entire examination room, looking for the source of this literary atmosphere, "Such a sage, my generation did not check before the examination, it is really the prime minister's fault. ”

This batch of people moved into Beijing. All talented and famous people will more or less receive the attention of the cabinet, and Shen Xiao has also secretly observed many people, but he did not expect such an article to appear, and he can't wait to see it.

Shoufu Yan Bingzhang was only slightly surprised. After that, he kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he was confident, and said indifferently: "The peerless article also has the right time and place." First-class talent. Not all articles are top-notch. Second-rate readers, by chance, can also have amazing works.

You will live up to the expectations of the world. Don't make a fuss, and take it in your stride. But today's champion, I think it should be this person. Then please go on a tour and take up his papers. ”

The literary atmosphere is soaring, and the rainbow runs through the sun, even if it is a university scholar's article, it is difficult to have such a scene. With this vision, the champion will never fall into other homes, and the three examiners will never be reluctant to resist the will of God.

Yan Bingzhang said this, and the other two scholars certainly had no objections, so they waited quietly on the high platform.

Ye Xingyuan sat in the examination booth for a while, and waited for the emotions in his chest to calm down a little, then he got up and handed in the papers, and left the examination room in a trance. Tang Shiyan and the others picked him up outside, hugged him into the carriage, and hurried back to the post house to rest.

At this time, Ye Xingyuan realized that three days had passed, which happened to be the examination date for the examination. Thinking back to the killing of soldiers in the fantasy world, I only felt groggy in my head, and when I went back, I fell asleep, and I slept for a day and a night.

The examination itself is a rigorous test of mind and body, and the difficulty of the test questions is another matter. If you stay in a real fantasy for so long, if you don't have a strong will, it is easy to forget your true heart, and after the exam, your spirit will be greatly damaged.

Ye Xingyuan was determined and full of spiritual power, but after the exam, he also felt exhausted, and he really didn't want to do it again.

Now he is full of admiration for those old people who have tried and failed, even if they are slightly inferior in learning skills, but the strength of these people who have repeatedly failed and fought has to be admired.

A day and night later, Ye Xingyuan recovered some of his spirits, and Zhu Ning'er prepared thick white rice porridge to feed him. Ye Xingyuan ate a few bites, and there was a little more warmth in his stomach before he felt alive.

"It's hard to try, I see it now, I hope I don't have to do it all over again in this life. Ye Xingyuan sighed.

Tang Shiyan hurriedly asked, "How did you do this exam?" I heard from the people outside the examination room that there were clouds in the field that rushed straight to the sky, just like a white rainbow, which would not disperse for a long time. Someone must have made an article that has been handed down to the world, I think about it, the only one who has this ability in Beijing is you, Brother Xian, I don't know if it's or not?"

Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "Brother Tang, don't underestimate the world's talents, there are thousands of people who went to the test this time, how many can we recognize? ”

In contact with the illusion, whether it is the "resistance", "surrender" or "martyrdom", there are extremely clever readers. With the assistance of many sages, Ye Xingyuan was able to complete the deeds against the sky, and it was not easy to fight wits and courage with the surrender faction.

Tang Shiyan looked at him with a relaxed expression, and said firmly: "Don't be modest, I naturally know that there are talents in the world, but who can make such a big move, who is the virtuous brother?"

Ye Xingyuan said: "I'm already in a mess after I finished the article, and I really don't know what will happen in the end." But this time, I succeeded in turning things around, so it shouldn't be too bad. ”

After twenty years of conquest, Ye Xingyuan single-handedly saved the crisis in the last years of the Southern Jin Dynasty. The glory of the battle of Baiyaji, and the hardship of guarding Jingxiang for 16 years, have created a monument, and no one should be able to beat him in this exam.

Tang Shiyan cheered: "I knew that this was the case! Let's wait for the good news of the champion! Brother Xian, you are the first big four happiness in this dynasty!"

The head of the county test and the government test, and the solution of the provincial test, Ye Xingyuan is also the champion this time, and the senior is about to be born.

At the same time, in the closed Gongyuan, three scholars were arguing over the choice of the champion.

The second assistant Xi Mingsheng held Ye Xingyuan's examination papers, and said with horizontal eyebrows: "Such a talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, if you don't point to this champion, it is really unreasonable! If you are lucky enough to talk nonsense because he has won the title early, how is this the way of justice for Confucianism?"

He was aggressive, but Shen Xiao, a scholar of Dongge University, was not to be outdone, and said-for-tat: "This person has indeed turned things around and built an immortal cause, even if we go to the world, we may not be able to achieve it." But listening to his words and watching his deeds, he always behaves perversely and deviates from the norm. Besides, if this man is virtuous and cannot be an example for the young men of the world, what can he do?"

Xi Mingsheng sneered: "If you want to press him, then let me ask you, you have read the papers of more than 1,000 candidates in this game, who has the face to live on it?"

Shen Xiao was speechless for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go, "Even so, we can think about it in the long run, and we must not let this person become the champion, resulting in endless poison! This trip is to correct the atmosphere of the world and set an example for those who are lucky!"

The two of them are inseparable, Xi Mingsheng thinks that the omen has appeared, the article crushes the rest of the candidates, and Ye Xingyuan must win the top position. But after revealing the name, Shen Xiao disagreed.

He is also reasonable, Ye Xingyuan vainly talked about auspicious things and flattered the current emperor, which was not taken by literati and doctors. Besides, although Ye Xingyuan's strategy has achieved miraculous results, it is not blameless.

First of all, Ye Xingyuan's strategic thinking is not in line with "etiquette", especially the guerrilla tactics of abandoning land and abandoning people, which is regarded as "unkind" by Shen Xiao, thinking that this is not an upright teacher, and it is no different from a rogue.

After the Baiyaji Water War, Ye Xingyuan usurped the position of the commander, even if it can be said that he was in a hurry. But later, in the name of the imperial court, he arbitrarily rewarded him, causing the military leaders in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River to divide and attack each other, and he also bore a certain responsibility for this.

Since then, Jingxiang has defended the city, and Ye Xingyuan has all kinds of tricks, using all kinds of strange weapons, working the people and hurting money, only seeking results, reckless of the consequences, and not the way of a saint to start and finish.

What's more, he also used the pure heart and holy voice to bewitch the people, and claimed to be a saint who came into the world, this kind of rebellion is really an unforgivable sin! If it weren't for the deduction of the illusion, Shen Xiao felt that he could be judged according to the law.

Now it's just to take out his champion, not to mention that he has been dethroned, Shen Xiao thinks that he has taken a step back.

But Xi Mingsheng felt that his words were all nonsense, and the sage also had the theory of "power" and "change", at a time when the family and country were in danger, Ye Xingyuan wanted to win the hearts of the people, what is the good use of rumors?

The two had a dispute, so they could only wait for Yan Bingzhang, the last scholar of the first assistant Hua Gaidian University, to make a decision. They each finished stating their reasons, and turned their heads together to look at Yan Bingzhang, who was speechless, waiting for his speech.

The choice of the champion must be decided by the old chief. Yan Bingzhang was sleepy-eyed, as if he was lazy and dozed off again in the reading of the papers, and only then did he open his eyes after listening to the words of the two cabinet colleagues, and sighed: "In the old man's opinion, this Ye Xingyuan must not be allowed to become the champion!"
