I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 94
After the Confucian school worshiped, all the scholars were led to go outside the school.

Next is the scholar parade, which is the most anticipated part of all the scholars besides the release of the rankings.

It is a kind of honor and satisfaction for scholars to accept the envious eyes of all the people amidst the sound of gongs and drums.

Song Mu also followed the crowd out of the small courtyard of Confucianism, but was suddenly pulled away, turned his head to look, saw that it was Mr. Tixue, Song Mu quickly cupped his hands.

But Fan Tixue just waved his hand, and then whispered something to Song Mu.

"If someone asks you about policy theory today, don't say too much."

After saying this, Fan Tixue turned his head and left. Song Mu was taken aback and frowned.

Having just walked out of the government school, the street was still being cleared, Song Mu and the others had a moment to go to read the top three papers of each subject in the college examination.

But just to read the test paper, Song Mu also spent a lot of effort.

After all, Song Mu is now the head of the trial case in the court, and he can be regarded as a hot figure. Naturally, he is everyone's target, but at the gate of the prefectural school, Song Mu has surrendered more than 20 times, and 30 people came up to say hello, one by one hurriedly reported own name.

Rao Song Mu has an amazing memory, and he is a little overwhelmed at the moment.

When they finally came to the side of the list, there were also many people around here watching the papers.

The essays and poems of the college examination will be publicized in front of the school for three days, and then there will be bookstores that will make them into volumes and sell them in Jizhou Prefecture.

At this moment, there are soldiers temporarily separating those common people to prevent their impulsive actions from disturbing the newly promoted talents, and also prevent these common people from impulsively pulling papers.

Among them, the most dangerous one is Song Mu's case file.

After all, this time, Song Mu's papers were tied for first place in the three subjects. This situation, which has not happened in Jizhou Prefecture for many years, naturally attracted many literati.

They all felt that Song Mu was like a godsend, and they thought that they would take the three papers home and read them carefully, not only to get a glimpse of the light on the desk, but also to imagine that other Japanese could write such articles, which attracted the attention of the semi-sages. to congratulate.

When the answer papers were paraded through the streets before, such a scene of tearing papers almost appeared. Fortunately, the soldiers guarded them in time, so these people did not succeed.

And in the rural examinations in the provincial capital and the general examinations in the capital, such things happened frequently.

It is even known as a good story of the imperial examination to pull the papers and catch the son-in-law under the list.

"Everyone, our test papers are pretty good. If it comes to the provincial and general examinations in the future, the test papers will be publicized for seven days, and the test papers will be crowded with people every day, and countless people will read and study."

"There's even that daring guy who just wants to pull the roll."

Song Mu was standing in front of several public notice boards at this time, and also wanted to see how the essays and poems of each candidate this time were.

At this time, I heard someone say this, and Kong Zong, who was next to Song Mu, smiled helplessly when he saw this.

"Brother Song, it's true. I don't know when I got into the habit of scraping papers. I heard that in the years when it was popular, the examination institutes in various places had to post dozens of papers every day."

"At that time, scholars flocked to it, and even regarded it as an elegant thing."

"Later, His Majesty issued a decree, saying that it would be out of style to draw papers. After the announcement period, papers can be drawn. If papers are drawn during the announcement period, the top ten boards will be played on the street."

"It's just ten boards, and it won't hurt your bones. It's nothing compared to a good article and poetry that doesn't cost money. There are still people flocking to it, and it still doesn't stop until now."

Song Mu shook his head helplessly when he heard these words.

Although this matter seems a little ridiculous, it also proves the pursuit of literati.

Presumably, this order at the beginning may not have the intention of curbing the judging at all. On the contrary, the official order was issued, and it was even more encouraging in disguise.

Song Mu didn't say anything, but just walked in front of the paper, and the first thing he entered was the Jingyi paper, and Song Mu's own paper was naturally placed first.

There are quite a few red marks on it, although they are not the original papers, they are just the papers copied by the clerk, but they are still intact, and the positions marked by the examiners are also copied.

This is done in order to let the people who come to read the examination papers know where the beauty of this article is, and it is also a test of the examination level of each marking officer.

Of course, there are also those candidates who failed the rankings who showed dissatisfaction, pointed at the papers, and scolded the examiners for not knowing talents.

Song Mu just looked at his paper for a moment, then immediately turned to the second scripture article.

This second scripture article belonged to Xue Kaiwen. After reading it carefully, Song Mu nodded unconsciously.

If it is said that my level is definitely not as good as that of Xue Kaiwen in these test papers, it seems that I am quite lucky to be able to rank first.

As Song Mu was thinking in his heart, a figure appeared beside Song Mu at this moment, staring at Song Mu's paper carefully.

This person is Xue Kaiwen.

His eyes swept over Song Mu's article, and his brows were also a little frowned. At first, his face was a little angry, but after a while, Song Mu saw him slowly drooping his brows, and even looked a little depressed.

At this time, the two people's eyes met, Song Mu smiled and cupped his hands.

"Brother Xue, your article is really talented."

Xue Kaiwen opened his mouth at the moment, and then his face was a bit sad, but he also raised his hand and arched towards Song Mu.

"Brother Song, I am convinced by your article."

Xue Kaiwen said at this time, looking directly at Song Mu's paper, and said immediately.

"Ask the canal how clear it is, because there is a source of flowing water. These famous sentences are the best explanations of the study of gentlemen."

After Xue Kaiwen said this, Song Mu grinned with humility.

But at this point, Xue Kaiwen turned his head immediately, looked at Song Mu with burning eyes, and asked.

"Brother Song, I would like to know what exactly is your policy theory?"

Song Mu was stunned when he heard this, and was about to say that his writing wasn't on the list?

When I turned my head and looked to the side, I saw only two articles in the place where the paper was pasted, and my name was written on a big white paper in it.

That blank piece of paper was stuck on the first position just like that.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu was also a little stunned. At this time, he turned his head to look at Xue Kaiwen, and saw Xue Kaiwen's deep gaze.

At the moment, someone looked over at the side, and asked Song Mu right now.

"Song Dean, what exactly did you write in your policy paper?"

Song Mu pursed his lips, but at the moment his mind was full of thoughts. He remembered what Fan Tixue had said to him at the end of the Confucianism ceremony.

He told himself not to talk too much about policy and theory.

Could it be that his own policy theory is really so ulterior?
Song Mu recalled the things in it, and he was also confused at the moment, but he knew it in his heart, so he could only say with a smile.

"Everyone, maybe the school has other arrangements for this thing, this..."

Song Mu hesitated to speak, his words were naturally not convincing, but everyone thought of something at the moment, and the policy papers that were often displayed in previous years were completely blank.

It's just that I didn't expect to be able to see such a scene in the hospital examination.

But by doing so, isn't it telling others that the policy theory written by Song Mu is an extremely good and well-recognized article?

The topic of policy theory has already been circulated.

If it reaches the ears of those who are interested, wouldn't they immediately know that what Song Mu wrote may be of great use.

Can this kind of deception really convince everyone?
Song Mu also thought of this question, and was a little confused immediately, but he could only give up after a while.

This is the thinking of the people above, and I can't figure it out for a while.

And if my stuff is indeed useful, then this is a good thing, at least it means that the above point of view has indeed been valued by adults, and may be adopted in the future.

Thinking of this, Song Mu suddenly felt unbelievable.
