"Xie Yuan is Su Xuanming!"
The person who announced the good news was so crowded that his hair was messy, but he still ran to Fuquan Teahouse with a face of joy.
Su Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he made the right bet!
"Fuman, you are really my little lucky star."
Because the provincial examination and the national examination are announced at the same time, everyone pays more attention to the national examination than the provincial examination.
Therefore, the fact that Su Xuanming was Jieyuan was soon outcompeted by other things except Fuquan Tea House.
The owner of Fuquan Teahouse was overjoyed and gave a plate of snacks to all the guests on the spot.
"Congratulations to Su Dalang, congratulations to Su Dalang."
Fuman was also very happy for Su Xuanming: "Master, you are really amazing, this is the Jieyuan of Kyoto!"
< br>The person who just said sourly that all the blessings have come to an end now wants to bury his head in the ground.
Isn't this slap in the face too fast? !
But there are still some people who don’t believe that Su Xuanming has made such great progress!
How many people have wasted half their lives from being a scholar to being a scholar, but they have not succeeded. Why is Su Xuanming so successful?
After the provincial examination results are released, the answer sheets will be posted to show fairness.
At this time, the list is full of people, including students and bookstore owners.
"Let me see what the answer sheet for Jie Yuanshu says!"
"Su Xuanming's handwriting is quite good. He has obviously worked hard."
"The paper is neat and tidy. , there are no errors or omissions, and there are no corrections.”
“But the content is not right? I clearly remember that this is not the case in the Commentary on the Analects of Confucius. Did I remember it wrong?” Some candidates were confused.
"You remember correctly!" In order to prove what he said, someone pulled out the "Analects of Confucius".
"Didn't our imperial examination say that we should answer questions within the prescribed range? Have the regulations changed and I didn't know?"
"No!"
"Unfair! I remember the last time someone The answer was also very good, but because it deviated from the answer range, why did he get it this time when it was Su Xuanming's turn? "
An undercurrent surged among the students in Kyoto.
According to regulations, on the day when the results are released, all candidates who have passed the exam must wait respectfully in front of the Gongyuan for the examiner to come out and meet the teacher.
Wine and food will also be prepared in the tribute courtyard for everyone to drink together.
This banquet is also called the Deer Ming Banquet. It started in the previous dynasty and lasted until the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because the Deer Ming Chapter of "The Book of Songs" says, "Yo yo, deer croaking, eating apples from the wild, so it is called deer." Mingyan.
After Su Xuanming received the news that he had passed the exam, he went home, simply changed his clothes, and went to a banquet with other students from Baichuan Academy who had passed the exam.
Forty students from Baichuan Academy took the exam this time, and all of them passed!
However, this time the results were not as impressive as in the county examination. There was only one Jieyuan Su Xuanming in the first ten miles, and only five people in the first hundred. Most of them were in the middle and rear sections, and there was one at the end of the crane. of.
Master Liu is already very satisfied with this achievement. After all, the starting points are different. Although the students of Baichuan Academy have the guidance of the mountain leader, their foundation is still not as solid as that of the students of Taixue.
When everyone was preparing to set off, Master Liu repeatedly warned: "After this exam, you will not sit back and relax! There will be a re-examination next year. If you fail the re-examination, everything will have to start all over again!! So at the banquet, Don’t be arrogant.”
Master Liu himself was an arrogant person and suffered a lot, and he was afraid that his students would imitate him.
“Yes, Master!”
“Don’t worry, Master Liu, we will just be obedient and never show up.” If we don’t set off, it will be too late. Under Liu Master’s worried eyes In the middle of the day, all the students came to the front of Gongyuan together.
Unexpectedly, there were actually three rows of students sitting in front of the Gongyuan. They looked solemn and sat cross-legged in front of the Gongyuan. In front of them was the ugly-looking room master, surrounded by chatter.
"What are they doing? Why do I look like they are not having a party, but like they are complaining?"
The newly arrived students were confused about the situation and asked others .
“Just complaining!”
"Alas, there will be something like this every year. If you are not strong enough and fail to pass the exam, you will say that there is fraud in the imperial examination. How can there be so much fraud? What's more, this time it is Jia Enke, who reflects the mighty emperor's favor. Who dares to do this? You lied about the matter?”
“Yes, you actually bothered us here in Gongyuan. "Lu Ming Banquet."
The students who arrived early glanced at them: "Have you seen the answer sheet of Xie Yuan Su Xuanming this year?"
"It is indeed written. Better than me."
"But what he said is different from "Analects of Confucius"
The student who asked the question then realized: "Are they protesting about Su Xuanming?!"
"Yes, that's right! The one who started the conversation is the famous crazy student Zhang Jingzhi."
The student suddenly clapped his hands: "I know him! During the last rural examination, he angrily criticized local officials for occupying farmland. Not only did he He didn’t pass the exam and was banned for three years!”
“Yes, it was him. When he saw Su Xuanming’s test paper this time, he felt that he also failed to follow the imperial examination rules. Why is Zhang Jingzhi banned from taking the exam for three years, but Su Xuanming is the top candidate in this class?
"What about the others? ”
"Some are failed students, and some are people with righteous hearts."
"Stop talking, Su Xuanming and the gang from Baichuan Academy are here."
Seeing Su Xuanming coming, people gathered around to watch The group of people stopped talking and looked at Su Xuanming and the other students from Baichuan Academy with strange looks.
The leader Zhang Jingzhi also glanced at Su Xuanming lightly, and then continued to sit cross-legged respectfully, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Who is calling for injustice?" Seeing that the students refused to leave, the examiner Huang Qi had to stand up.
He was actually mentally prepared for today's situation.
The emperor and Taishi Tong were fighting in the court, and he, the examiner, had to be the one to clean up the mess in the end?
Zhang Jingzhi is neither humble nor arrogant, but his voice can be heard by everyone present: "Student Zhang Jingzhi sued Su Xuanming, the judge of the provincial examination, for not answering the questions in accordance with the regulations, but he was awarded the position of judge. It’s not in the right position!”
Hiss!
There was a sound of air-conditioning all around. Zhang Jingzhi is so brave, and he deserves the nickname "Crazy".
How is this an accusation against Su Xuanming? He was clearly pointing his finger at the examiner Huang Qi and scolding him, saying that you were engaging in malpractice for personal gain and that you were doing things unfairly.
Su Xuanming turned to look at Zhang Jingzhi, who was staring at Huangqi with burning eyes.
Seeing that Huang Qi remained silent, Zhang Jingzhi pressed forward step by step: "Your Majesty has entrusted the important matter of selecting talents for the country to your Excellency, which shows how much you value Mr. Huang. Please give an explanation to the students all over the world!"
Other students also said in unison: "Master Huang, please give an explanation to the students all over the world!"
"We follow the rules and do things honestly and in accordance with the laws of the country. Others can do whatever they want based on their family background!"
"Yes, that's unfair! If Su Xuanming is the Jieyuan this time, why can't the students who failed in the past because of this?!" (End of Chapter)
