Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 123 The Crisis of the Dragon Flying List
"Qingjun, Qingjun, wait a minute." Wang Xiu accidentally glanced at it while eating the soup, but was surprised to find that Zhu Lian's maid, Qingjun, had a thought that had just been suppressed in her heart, and she hurriedly chased after her. up.

"Official." Qingjun stood in front of Wang Xiu with lowered eyelids, his face was flushed, he was holding a yellow lacquered bamboo basket with both hands, his eyes wandered.

Wang Xiugang saw Qing Jun's excitement, and as the two calmed down face to face, he was replaced by deep anxiety. He didn't know how to ask Zhu Lian, he didn't know why Zhu Lian didn't see him, and he didn't know what Zhu Lian was thinking. It would be ridiculous for a family to just meet him by chance and pester him endlessly.

After being entangled in my heart for a while, I forced a smile and said: "It's such a coincidence, what is Qingjun going to do?"

"My maid came out to buy some makeup." Qing Jun looked at Wang Xiu with complicated eyes, but hesitated to speak.

Wang Xiu's heart was blocked, and she wanted to ask Zhu Lian but couldn't. She seemed to have nothing to say below, and her face felt awkward.

"Officer, the maidservant has to leave beforehand, officer, take care." Qing Jun hesitated, gritted his silver teeth, wished Wang Xiuwan a blessing, turned and left quickly.

Wang Xiu wanted to call Qing Jun back, but he couldn't think of a reason, he couldn't chase after girls on the bustling street and ask this and that, but he was still not reconciled, lost this opportunity, and wondered if he would meet again.

His usual decisiveness was gone, he was full of hesitation, and he couldn't make a choice because of gains and losses. Just when he was thinking about the future, Qing Jun got into a carriage in the morning and drove away. He had to sigh a long time, smile and shake his head .

"Officer, you haven't drunk your soup yet, it's not good if it's cold."

Just when Wang Xiu was in a daze, the little old man came up to him, rolling his eyeballs, with a tricky ambiguous look, he couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, "I won't drink."

In the palace examination, the emperor personally strategized in the Chongzheng Palace, and more than [-] candidates who had passed the examination of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace from Xuandemen.

This exam is also very simple. It is nothing more than the emperor personally setting the questions. After the candidates have completed their names, they will be reviewed and graded by the court officials, and then handed over to the emperor for imperial approval, and then sit down on the big and small yellow list.Under normal circumstances, the order of the palace examination does not change much, and people are not dismissed, but unexpected situations also occur.

Sometimes, a person's name may cause the emperor's displeasure, resulting in the lowering of the ranking, and some people perform supernormally and jump up all of a sudden, which is hard to say.Take the roll call as an example, if the champion is too tall for the audience, he may be taken down directly and replaced by someone else.

After Wang Xiu came back, after a night of contemplation, he thought that judging from Qingjun's attitude, it was probably his own wishful thinking. Zhu Lian must have gone to Daxiangguo Temple to worship the Buddha, and thanked himself by the way. Maybe the encounter in Bianhe was inappropriate. Happened by chance.

The future is the most important thing. Now that I have made a choice, I can't love my children. I must go all out and enter the palace test in the best condition.

It cannot be denied that once he made up his mind, he would devote himself to preparing for the battle just like he studied brown sugar decolorization technology, and performed very well, not to mention poetry and prose. Who can compare with him?Not to mention the policy theory, he actively catered to Zhao Ji's psychology. From the perspective of the whole world, he comprehensively discussed the necessity of the Northern Expedition from the perspectives of politics, economy, and people's livelihood, emphasizing the necessity of the Western Army's eastward march, and focusing on the natural There are no two days, and there are no two kings for people. Today, the son of heaven will uphold the will of heaven and become the unworldly monarch who will unify his ancestors.

It has to be said that Wang Xiu's exam was very successful, even he himself thought it was very good, it was considered his peak state.

From the palace examination to the dragon and the yellow armor, it has to go through a series of processes, such as the ranking of the important ministers, the imperial pen of the emperor, the ten Jinshi and the roster of the Chengjia Division, the roll call of the Jiying Hall, the announcement of the list outside the Donghua Gate, and so on.

When Wang Xiu left the Donghua Gate, Zhang Qiyuan smiled and said: "I think Wen Shi is in a good mood, and it seems that he did well in the exam." It's a bit tasty.

Wang Xiu was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang is also smiling?"

"I don't know how many of our Shangshui graduates have returned home." Zhang Qiyuan was very proud. He believed that with his literary talents, he was very likely to get the rank, no matter how bad he was, he would be among the top few by birth.

As for returning home, it’s not that easy. It’s not that you can return home after becoming a Jinshi. , It’s still a long way to go back to my hometown in a beautiful way!You can only be considered a glorious ancestor if you have a third-class Jinshi background, otherwise you can only walk around at night in brocade clothes.

In his opinion, Wang Xiu is only in the top [-] of the examination list. You have to know that this is still a top-ranking candidate, and with the addition of experienced special-ranking candidates, it is hard to say whether Wang Xiu can get a background, at best, he can be regarded as a fellow Jinshi. , the difference of one word is thousands of miles apart.

Wang Xiu chuckled, how could he fail to understand Zhang Qiyuan's meaning, he clearly fixed him in the position of Jinshi, and he didn't want to say more until the roll call, looked around, pointed to the left and smiled: "That's not Brother Zhi, Brother Zhang, I’ll go and have a look.”

As he said that, he bowed his hands to Zhang Qiyuan and went straight over. As for Zhang Qiyuan's feelings, he didn't care at all.

Zhang Qiyuan felt fierce in his heart, he was in a particularly good mood at first, and wanted to taunt Wang Xiu veiledly, but he didn't expect that he would ignore him first, and there was no place to vent his anger, but he was very unwilling, and there were waves of discussions around him.

"I didn't expect the three kings to participate in the palace examination and sit next to me."

"That's right! His Majesty King Jia came to grab food from us too. It's too rude."

"If he wins the first prize, what should we do?"

"By the way, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi next to him. His papers were submitted to the official's house. It seemed that the official smiled. It's too far away, so I'm not sure."

"That was the first to hand in the paper."

"I don't know how many people can win."

When Zhang Qiyuan heard the young man in Tsing Yi, his face suddenly became gloomy. When he saw Wang Ang's figure, he rolled his eyes and walked over.

.

The palace examination was graded very quickly. After the graders initially set the rankings for the papers with unknown names, they were handed over to Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Yu Wenxuzhong, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong and other important officials for review. The famous papers have been made public.

"Your Majesty's roll is neat, whether it's style or words, it's like flowing clouds and flowing water. The diction is indeed excellent. I think it should be the first name, and the old master will see it." Wang Fu held Zhao Kai's paper with a look of admiration, He asked Cai Jing again. After all, Cai Jing is the commander-in-chief of the three provinces, and his status is placed there. No matter how dirty they are in private, they have to live well in public.

Cai Jing squinted his old eyes, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty has a great literary talent, and he has won the official biography. There are few talented people in the world who can match him."

"What the grand master said is that the great king Wencai should take the first name." Li Bangyan also said something.

Those who can get in touch with Zai Zhi, whether they are dirty and frivolous, or honest and loyal, none of them are fools, they are all human beings.King Jia Zhao Kai is Zhao Ji's favorite son, how can there be no reason not to take care of him?

Besides, Zhao Kai's talent is indeed not something to be boasted about. When he was studying in the palace, he beat all the princes, and when he took office in the residence, he made friends with famous people all over the world. Famous, praised by celebrities.

Take a look at this paper, it is absolutely brilliant, it can be called everyone's work, if he is dismissed, I am afraid that Zhao Ji will not be able to justify it, since Zhao Kai is capable of winning the first prize, why not give him a favor, anyway, the prince will not be able to be the prime minister.

This title of being the number one Jinshi was unanimously agreed by the officials present, and even the attendant censor was silent, which was rare in the decision-making circles of the Great Song Dynasty.

"My lords, Yangzhou Jiangdu Wang Ang's countermeasures are extraordinary, everyone, let's take a look." Now that the champion has been decided, Wang Fu, who was the first to propose, was very happy, and picked up Wang Ang's paper.

"I think Dexing Zhang Tao in Raozhou is quick in writing." Yu Wenxu glanced at Wang Fu indifferently, expressing his opinion.

Bai Shizhong picked up a paper, glanced at Bai Shizhong and said, "Zhang Jun's writing style in Mianzhu, Hanzhou is even more fluid, and he can be called a master."

Li Bangyan's eyelids twitched, and he secretly scolded some old foxes, used No. 1 to curry favor with Tianjia, and put his energy on the second place. He kept silent and wanted to wait and see.

Cai Jing coughed heavily, and said, "Have you read the test paper of Chenzhou Shangshui Wangxiu?"

"Wang Xiu? Oh, it's the scholar who is a scholar who is a scholar of the study of mind, and has more than [-] rankings in the examination list." A gloomy look flashed in the corner of Wang Fu's eyes, and he said displeasedly: "He talks nonsense in the book, and he doesn't know what to say. Give this kind of person a fellow Jinshi."

Bai Shizhong is cowardly and has always been attached to the Cai family and his son. Seeing Cai Jing talk about Wang Xiu, his mind changed, and he resolutely abandoned his promising Zhang Jun.

Yu Wenxu said indifferently: "Wang Xiu's papers are neat and neat, and the idea is also very novel, but I think her character is very bad."

"Shutong, how can you say that Wang Xiu's character is bad?" Cai Jing frowned slightly.

Yu Wenxu said unceremoniously: "Looking at Wang Xiu's literary opinions alone, he is by no means inferior to the king, but he caters to his wishes everywhere, how can such a person be of great use."

Several people present had different expressions, Yu Wenxuzhong's words were like a slap in the face!Let's not talk about Cai Jing, the old-fashioned people who try to figure out the holy will, Wang Fu and Li Bangyan, who are not butt lickers, and Bai Shizhong's curry favor with Cai's father and son is the same as his own father.

Cai Jing was very unhappy, and said: "Wang Xiu's opinion is the same as that of the officials. He sees that the policy theory is reasonable and well-founded. There are Zhang and Chi, and Shu Tong's words are serious."

"It's not a big deal for you to praise the holy will." Bai Shizhong echoed.

"Departure from all over the world, the sky is close to Zhaomin, isn't this flattery?" Yu Wenxu retorted unceremoniously.

"Huh." Wang Fu felt dirty in his heart. Regardless of Wang Xiu's literary talents and opinions, he felt like he was on his back. Thinking about how to organize the language, I suddenly saw a place and couldn't help making a sound.

　I hope to get more support, and more exciting stories will continue to be presented..
