Chapter 550: Resentment swells when the situation becomes a situation
These voices were limited to a few places at first, but with the rapid change of everyone's mood, they spread more and more widely-
"I also heard that someone cheated this time, and I heard that the imperial court has intervened, why hasn't it been revealed yet?"
"What's the point? This list has been released, what's the use?"
"Unfair! Unfair! Maybe, I could have been on the list, but I was squeezed out of life by that cheater!"
"I don't know who this person is, if he knows the way, grab him and go to the official, and let the government give us justice!"
"Yes, catch the cheater, and then announce the other rankings, you must not swallow your breath!"
......
With the agitation, the minds of many unsuccessful candidates have changed.
They have worked hard to study, a few years of cold windows, exhausted their mental strength, and they are also considered to be outstanding in their respective hometowns, but they can come to the capital and compete for places with candidates from all over Darui.
It's just that whoever it is, he will not be willing to be on the list after he loses the list, and it is inevitable that he will have a fluke mentality, and as soon as he is instigated, some thoughts in his heart will be flooded.
Suddenly, the people's wishes and emotions that permeated the surroundings of Guozijian flowed rapidly, as if they had found an outlet, surging to the past, driving many candidates to hate the same enemy!
These emotional changes, in line with the wishes of the people, even triggered the will of Xingjing, within a radius of 100 zhang, slowly converged into a general trend, like the continuous accumulation of floods on the embankment, once it erupted, it would be a shocking trend.
The people who fanned the flames were overjoyed and shrank back. Just leave the crowd.
According to the plan, when the people's wishes are boiling, the name of the person who cheated will be reported, but there are many people, this kind of secret thing, of course, will not be handed over to too many people to do, and the person who is fanning the flames now is just a scoundrel under Lai San, and it is okay to spread some news, but there are too many ways to know. It is inevitable that there will be people who can't control their mouths. Get in trouble.
When the plan was decided, Tian Youqing didn't think that Qiu Yan had any weight, so these confidentiality measures were not aimed at Qiu Yan. It's just in case.
Just when the crowd is excited. But there are also candidates after reading the list. Tears of joy.
These are all people on the list, although the number is very small, but it is particularly prominent in a group of people who are crying and sad. They often shout in joy, and then they are grabbed by several people and scrambled.
This is the merchant family to compete for a son-in-law, often ask if there is a marriage match, and after getting the desired answer, they will use a rich dowry to persuade the other party.
I don't say much about these, but I said that Qiu Yan and others kept squeezing into the crowd after the list was posted, but they couldn't do it, because there were too many people along the way, they squeezed for a long time, and the trip was less than a few zhang, but they were already sweating profusely and panting.
As soon as this list was released, the coffin was conclusive, Luo Jiayun and others were anxious to know their achievements, but they couldn't squeeze in and couldn't see clearly, how could they be calm?
In this, Qiu Yan seemed the most calm, there was a faint change of light and shadow in his eyes, and his face showed a look of thought, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, and followed the few people around him passively.
However, for Qiu Yan's appearance, others did not have the leisure to pay attention, even Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan were attracted by the list, and the whole person's mind and emotions were pulled by the people's wishes gathered by everyone, and it was difficult to break free.
But in addition to this, there are also people who can maintain themselves and calm in this frenetic, chaotic emotional linkage.
"Young master, when you win the Jinshi, the Sanjin hometown will definitely celebrate. "The pavilion at the entrance of the street, there are two people in it, the pavilion is the surging forward flow of people, from a distance, the whole pavilion is like a rock in the torrent, let the water waves impact, still do not move, and the people in the pavilion, the same gives people a feeling that Mount Tai collapsed in front and the face does not change.
From the clothes and dress, it can be clearly seen that the identity of the two people, one is a young man, well-dressed, giving people a sense of abundance and handsomeness, with curled hair, and the other is a man with a big waist and a round waist, wearing a middle single, looking like a family.
Although he didn't go to watch the list, this man was very sure that his young master could be on the list, and said endlessly: "...... The old man and the old man are all jinshi, and when the young master you also win the jinshi, our Li family is a three-jinshi, and the glory of the ancestors!"
On the side, the handsome young man coughed and said in a low voice: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, how can you underestimate others, not to mention others, just the vision in the Tribute Courtyard is enough to prove that there are still masters among the candidates this time!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, his eyes fixed on the rushing light, the light was already a little dim, but there was a halo of light in the clouds in the sky.
..................
At the same time, there were people staring at the light and talking.
"The vision of the Gongyuan is probably not caused by the examination papers!" In a tavern, Wen Zhizhen poured a glass of wine, took it and drank it all, and then smiled.
"Oh, how can Gongzi Wen have such insight?" On the other side, Pang Qianru asked with a smile, her face was radiant, and her whole person exuded surging vitality, as if she had made some improvements.
Next to Pang Qianru, sat Xu Ran, the granddaughter of the ruler, her face was full of unhappiness, and there was a little anxiety between her eyebrows.
On a table next door, Song Qian, Ji Zheng and Qi Jiulian were sitting.
On the side, some people left in a hurry, mostly candidates, and others, they were very concerned about the examination list, but Wen Zhizhen, who was set off, was particularly calm.
"Miss Pang doesn't have to be like this," Listening to Pang Qianru's words, Wen Zhizhen smiled faintly: "It's not that Wen is jealous of others, but because of feelings, the questions of this exam are very different from usual, and it is not easy for ordinary candidates to answer, let alone thoughtful, that is, Wen, who had a guess before the exam, studied the new law a few months in advance, and it was just a slight insight." ”
Pang Qianru wasted no time in smiling and said, "Could it be that Gongzi Wen thinks that your exam papers can't cause visions, let alone others?"
"Wen Mou didn't dare to be so arrogant, but ......" Wen Zhizhen shook his head, "If you want to give birth to a vision, you must make the article compatible with humanity, and even connect with the dragon qi, which not only requires a sufficient understanding of humanity, but also proficient in the classics, and more importantly, it is in line with the theme of the examination, and play a role, which is equivalent to saying that the person who answers the question not only understands the new law, but also has his own thinking and puts forward suggestions for improvement......
He shook his head slightly: "I wait for scholars, no matter how good the writing in the examination room is, it will not be as good as the princes of the court, this is not a matter of knowledge and experience, but the consideration of vision, standing high can see far, the princes formulate the law, what they think and worry about is very human, how can we and other candidates standing at the foot of the mountain know the scenery on the mountain? In this case, it is difficult to cause a vision, as difficult as ascending to the sky!"
Although he did not answer Pang Qianru's question, his words revealed a strong sense of confidence, which made Xu Ran fall for it.
"Hmph, don't be ashamed!" Qi Jiulian complained at the next table.
At this time, Ji Zheng suddenly asked: "According to Gongzi's thoughts, what is the cause of the vision in the sky?"
"Miss Ji asked well!"
When Wen Zhizhen heard Ji Zheng's inquiry, his eyes showed a little essence, and he seemed to attach great importance to it, and immediately said: "In my opinion, there is only one person in the Gongyuan who can cause visions! That is the chief examiner, Wang Xiang! I heard that Wang Xiang is preparing to penetrate the new law, write books and theories, and establish a new set of studies. ”
"Wang Xiang......" Ji Zheng narrowed his eyes, revealing an intriguing expression.
Pang Qianru turned her head to look at her, looked out the window again, and after retracting her gaze, she smiled at Wen Zhizhen and said, "This list has been released, doesn't Wen Gongzi care at all? ”
"What should be done, Wen has already done it, I am fortunate to have it, and I have lost my life," Wen Zhizhen smiled faintly, and the clouds were light, "Now I am in a hurry to see it, and I can't change anything, so it is better to discuss it with you." ”
His appearance fell in Qi Jiulian's eyes, which made the latter feel bad, you must know that he was in place of Qiu Yan and left an agreement with Wen Zhizhen, and he has not yet made it clear, once Wen Zhizhen wins, it will offend Qiu Yan.
"Oh, Wen Gongzi has the style of an ancient sage," Pang Qianru's eyes moved slightly, and her gaze fell on Wen Zhizhen's other hand on the table, which was clenched tightly into a fist, and a slight tremor could be seen.
Pang Qianru didn't say anything, but continued: "Although the son doesn't care, he will try the grand event, and a few of our little women still care, so they have already sent someone to watch the list, and they will come back soon." ”
"Huh?" Wen Zhizhen was stunned when he heard this, showing a look of astonishment, and then calmed down his mood, and was about to say another thing, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and he saw a Qingyi family coming to Pang Qianru's side.
"Pang An, how is it? Do you see the list?" Pang Qianru turned her head and asked.
The man said respectfully: "Miss Hui, the list has been read, but although the subordinates can be lucky, they are not as good as others, so they don't remember much, only the top three." ”
Pang Qianru raised her eyebrows: "The top three, I asked you to see the ranking of Gongzi Wen, just remember this, you said that if you remember the top three, Gongzi Wen should be in it, right?"
On the other side, Wen Zhizhen could no longer maintain his calm, cast his eyes on the man's face, and held his breath. Xu Ran, Qi Jiulian and others are also average.
The man looked at Pang Qianru without looking away, nodded and said, "Yes, Gongzi Wen is the third!"
"Third place? impossible!"
As soon as his voice fell, Wen Zhizhen jumped up from his seat like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail!
Pang Qianru's eyes flashed a different color, and she didn't look at Wen Zhizhen, and continued to ask, "Who are the second and first places?"
The man was not verbose, so he said: "The second place is called Ye Yun, and the first place is Qiu Yan that Miss asked me to pay attention to!" (To be continued......)
