The soul came out of the shell, feeling that these clay sages were filled with the aura of Haoran Dagang, this breath was invisible, directly from the oppression in the thoughts, Hong Yi instantly remembered the story of the gods and Buddhas and sages who became gods by the incense of all the people in the notes of the grass hall.

In the midst of his doubts, he once again came out of his shell, and finally found that these clay sculptures of ancient sages did not have any other thoughts except for a great strong aura, and they could not communicate.

"These sages have not become gods, the masculinity and righteousness in their bodies, but the scholars of all dynasties and dynasties have worshipped and left their thoughts on the sages, and over time, they have accumulated such a vast and powerful thought, if no one worships for a long time, this thought will slowly dissipate, and at the same time, all the scholars have no righteousness in their hearts, and they are all flying and doggy, so these sages have also lost their power?"

Hong Yi suddenly had a burst of realization in his heart.

The divine power on the idol is blessed by the thoughts of everyone. The people carved the idol of the god and worshipped it, and many thoughts accumulated, and these gods had divine powers.

Thinking of this in his heart, although Hong Yi knew that these sages were not gods, he still worshipped three times with his true strength, and he worshiped the Haoran masculinity gathered in the hearts of all beings.

After the prayer, a soldier came and led him to an examination room.

This examination room number is like a fence, with wooden boards, canopies, and chairs, and it is in this that candidates take the exam.

After putting the pen and ink inkstone, roll up the sleeves, pour water into the inkstone and grind the ink, and the test paper will be sent down, with the content of the exam questions and the scriptures to be done.

"Fortunately, this exam is only a day's time, and such a small place can be passed. If you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will have to stay in this small place for three days, seven literary battles, not to mention the kung fu of literature and thinking, just in terms of physical strength, ordinary people can't support it, this is also a disguised test of the physical strength of the reader, and put an end to the powerless scholar to become an official. ”

Hong Yi looked at the trumpets around him, turned around a little restrained, sighed secretly, and then looked at the title.

The title is "The Residence of the Pan in the Mountains".

Pan is the emperor of antiquity, it is rumored that in ancient times, this emperor Shengde Ze was all over the world, and the classics of the scholars praised this emperor.

The topic of the current exam is to interpret the meaning of this sentence, give full play to your own opinions, and expound the principles of governing the country in the text.

Hong Yi pondered for a moment, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote the broken question: "The heart of the Holy Emperor is only empty and can be passed." Then he sprinkled and talked about the Li school of deforming, unintentional is selfless, and all things in the world are one.

This view is the meaning of the Li school, which also emphasizes sincerity and sincerity, also known as "heart science", but it is different from Hong Xuanji's emphasis on the outline and strict etiquette.

found the examiner's mind to make a fuss, naturally the pen went dragon snake, less than two hours, just noon, when the Xiucai around were biting the pen, Hong Yi had already handed in the paper.

......................................................................................................................

In the main examination room of the Gongyuan, there were several examiners wearing official uniforms and black gauze hats, one of them, sitting in the hall, with a serious face, about forty years old, was the chief examiner of the township examination Li Shenguang, who was a famous minister of the court and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

Although this is the township test of the show of talents, not the examination of the jinshi, but because it is the scientific examination of Yujing City, it is not trivial, and the imperial court attaches great importance to the scientific examination, and the show is related to the tax exemption of the gentry, so the court officials were sent as the chief examiner of the scientific examination.

"Hmm, do the examiners from all parties recommend any papers?"

When the hour reached noon, Li Shenguang estimated that among them, there was a talented Xiucai who was quick to write and think, and he asked the examiners in the rooms below.

"There are completed papers to be handed in in each room. ”

Several deputy examiners hurriedly ran in, picked up the papers in their hands, tore open the seals, and spread them on the table for Li Shenguang to watch.

"Hmm? This article talks about benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette, and it seems to be upright and scolds Fang Xuan, but the resolute Mu Qu is close to benevolence, and those who say big truths in their mouths are all hypocrites and the like. ”

Li Shenguang read a few articles, shook his head, and pulled the article aside.

The deputy examiner next to him also came over to take a look, shook his head, and set these as papers.

"Huh, good word!"

Suddenly, Li Shenguang saw an article, the handwriting was as smart as flying, he immediately nodded, and looked at the broken title of the article, "The heart of the Holy Emperor is only empty and can be understood." This sentence lightly patted the table, "Okay, a good one who can only pass through the void, my generation to study, first of all, we must be sincere, sincere and selfless, natural etiquette and law, and all things are one." ”

This article is naturally Hong Yi's, the chief examiner Li Shenguang is a person from the Li school, and his article is simply written in the other party's heart, and he can't help but praise the examiner.

Moreover, Hongyi's font is to imitate the scriptures of the Mida Sutra, and the handwriting gives people a very light and comfortable feeling, but it is not the kind of font that is charming and soft, it can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness, and full of vitality.

"Master Li is the strictest, and there are very few articles that praise the verse. ”

"I'm afraid the first place in this scientific expedition has been decided. ”

When the deputy examiners around saw Li Shenguang's appearance, they all whispered, came up to watch, and when they saw the handwriting, they all applauded.

"Who is this candidate? Seeing the smugness, Li Shenguang couldn't help but ask.

"This son's name is Hong Yi, and he is the son of Lord Wuwen Hou Hong. ”

The deputy chief examiner has already reported Hong Yi's resume.

"The son of Wuwen Hou Hong Taibao?" Li Shenguang frowned.

"Lord Li, be cautious, Marquis Wu Wen has been named Taishi in the court yesterday, and his title will be changed in the future. A deputy examiner reminded Li Shenguang.

"Hmm. Li Shenguang looked at the scroll in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The idea of this scroll, the handwriting is excellent, how about I think it will be the first place?"

Just as he was saying it, suddenly there was a servant outside who sang: "Master Hong has arrived." ”

"Hurry up and greet, the Taishi is in charge of Wen Zai, Wu Wenhou was named the Taishi yesterday, and today he must be under the emperor's will to come to inspect the examination room. ”

Li Shenguang hurriedly stood up, flicked the clothes on his body, and led the deputy examiners of each room to greet him outside the door.

Sure enough, a large sedan chair outside the door was carried to the door, and then Hong Xuanji came down in an official uniform with a solemn face.

Li Shenguang hurriedly led the deputy examiners to bow down.

Hong Xuanji is now a Taishi, ranking as the third duke, which is equivalent to the official position of the prime minister, much larger than Li Shenguang. These people naturally have to be greeted.

"Can this scientific expedition go well?, is there any entrainment?" Hong Xuanji nodded, and after these people bowed down, he asked.

"There's no entrainment, there's no fraud. Li Shenguang said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then waved his hand, "Master Hong, please move to the main examination room." ”

After the two sides arrived in the main examination room, they sat down, served tea, and after a series of polite officialdom rules, Hong Xuanji sat on the top seat, and his eyes swept the rolls on the table, "Has the first place been decided?"

"Of course, it's a coincidence, the articles in this first place are all recognized by us as good, and when you check your resume, it turns out to be your son, Taishi Hong, named Hong Yi. Li Shenguang took out Hong Yi's roll and spread it on the table for Hong Xuanji to watch.

"Huh, first place?" Hong Xuanji's eyes flashed slightly, looking at the scroll, and gradually frowned.

He frowned, and the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became tense! Those deputy examiners all felt an invisible pressure, and they couldn't breathe.

The whole house was silent, and the sound of coughing could not be heard.

This word is flying and domineering, sharp and unsettled. Hong Xuanji shook his head, "And this article is not smooth, some places are simply nonsense, not to mention being the first, it is difficult to get the lift." Although he is my son, I am afraid that I will have to hone and hone for a few years, remove the edge, and this scientific expedition will be set as a falling volume. ”

As he spoke, Hong Xuanji picked up the roll and threw it into the pile of falling rolls.

"Huh?" Li Shenguang saw this situation, his brows jumped sharply, and the blood rose to his face at once, and he suddenly slammed the table.

Bang!

The pen and ink on the table shook to the ground.

Originally, the atmosphere in the room was heavy, but Li Shenguang's sudden slap startled all the deputy examiners present! A few of them had weak legs and feet, and they almost fell to the ground!

No one expected that this Lord Shangshu would suddenly slap the table on the table to the current imperial master and prime minister!

However, those present also knew that the two schools were different, and it was natural for them to be opposed.

"Hong Xuanji, here I am the main exam, you are just an inspection, although the official and I are a few grades older, but I have no right to determine the quality of the test papers!" Li Shenguang's roar resounded throughout the room, "The eldest husband is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, you are doing this for your own name, suppressing your son, your heart is not right, you are not virtuous for the country, and you are a villain!"

"Huh?" Hong Xuanji stopped, and looked coldly at the roaring Li Shenguang: "My son is too sharp, not a virtuous country, you have to press a pressure, file a file, and become a talent, this is naturally for the country to promote the virtuous, is my son, I still don't know? As the main exam, you roar and lose your dignity, what kind of system do you become? I am the emperor's own prince, fighting for the country, and managing the government, you say I am a villain? What do you regard the emperor's eyes? I will be in court tomorrow morning, and I will definitely revisit you! Now quickly retreat and wait to listen to the ginseng!"

As soon as Hong Xuanji said this coldly, there was a piercing chill on everyone's body. Everyone knows that Hong Xuanji was a general back then, killing people like hemp, and he was never soft on political opponents, and there were very few people in the court who could do anything with him.

Who knows, Li Shenguang did not give an inch: "I am now the chief examiner ordered by the emperor, and you have no right to ask me to step down! Whether you participate in me or not, that's your business! If the imperial court does not withdraw me, I will be the chief examiner! I will also join you tomorrow morning! I will join you in the morning tomorrow! I will overstep your authority! Suppress good talents! You are a villain! The emperor uses you, but he uses the wrong person!"

"I was instructed by the emperor to inspect the examination room, which is the Qincha, and I have full authority to handle everything. Hong Xuanji said lightly: "Left and right, pull him down, I will explain today's matter to the emperor." ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, two people came in and wanted to pull Li Shenguang down.

"Hong Xuanji, you dare!" Li Shenguang roared: "If you dare to tell me to step down, I will fight a lawsuit with you, you try it, I will go out to hit Jingyang Zhong, fight for exile for three thousand miles, and also fight a lawsuit with you, even if you die on the Golden Palace, I will fight you to the end! You Hong Xuanji is a villain! You try it! You try it!"

"Hit Jingyang Bell?" Hong Xuanji's heart moved, but he knew that this Li Shenguang really did it, this Jingyang Bell had something big to hit and alarm the emperor to the court, but the people who hit the bell, regardless of whether they were big or small, would all be exiled for 3,000 miles.

And this Li Shenguang may really crash to death on the Golden Palace between disputes, so that things will be big.

The deputy examiners around heard the roar of the chief examiner and the Taishi, and they all shrank aside, this dispute can be described as a school dispute, not simply the first place, Hong Xuanji is a master of science, and Li Shenguang is a scholar of the Li school.
