The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 373

[Chapter 373 The Emperor personally reads it]

the Emperor The examiner thought of this, reached out to take the examination paper, and read it carefully.

Looking at the test paper, his expression gradually changed, almost exactly the same as the previous examiner named Zhang.

After a while, he put down the examination paper, looked at the two deputy examiners, and said, “I wonder what you two think about this examination paper?”

The examiner surnamed Liu took the lead and said, “I don’t care whether this article is true or not. Even the choice of words and sentences did not meet the requirements. A sage disciple wrote such a vulgar article.

Therefore, the official thought that if this article was taken, where would it leave other diligent candidates? When the examiner surnamed

Zhang

next to him heard this, he immediately felt dissatisfied and retorted: “Isn’t the point of policy analysis to solve practical problems? No

matter how beautiful the article is, it is superficial and flashy, what’s the use of it?

Mr. Liu, don’t you know?” If it doesn’t exist, how can Mao be attached?”

“I”

the examiner surnamed Liu heard these words and wanted to open his mouth to refute.

“What both of you said makes sense. If we can’t decide whether to take or not, we will submit it to His Majesty. I believe His Majesty will make his own decision. What do you two adults think?”

On the side, the examiner saw this scene and stopped him. got them.

After all, this is the place where papers are marked. How unbecoming would it be for the two deputy examiners to argue in front of so many people?

When the two deputy examiners heard the examiner’s words, they looked at each other provocatively. Instead of continuing to struggle on this issue, they both raised their hands and said, “I have no objection.”

When the examiner saw this scene, he He nodded and said with a smile: “In that case, I will submit this examination paper to Your Majesty, and you two adults can continue grading the paper.”

“Okay.”

When the two deputy examiners heard this, they saluted the examiner, and then provoked each other. They looked at each other, turned around and left.

Warm pavilion.

Emperor Chu looked at the test paper placed on his case, with a smile on his face, and said: “There are so many test papers, but this is the only one that cannot determine

Liu Cheng. Guess who this test paper belongs to.” “

Besides, Liu Cheng stood upright. Hearing this, he smiled and replied: “Your Majesty, please spare this servant. How can I guess what a scholar is doing?”

Emperor Chu waved his hand and said, “Whatever. Guess, it’s okay for you to guess that this test paper was written by me.”

“Do you think this test paper was written by Mr. Liu?”

Liu Cheng is the personal attendant of the Emperor of Chu, and he is also the eunuch holding the seal and eunuch holding the pen. , who is in charge of the palace’s intelligence system, and knows more or less about everything going on in the capital.

In the Gyeonggi region, he could name many candidates, but the one who impressed him the most was Mr. Liu Er, who was most likely to become the Jieyuan of the Gyeonggi region.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he smiled and shook his head, and said casually: “Young Master Liu, isn’t that the little girl in the Duke of Wei’s mansion?

The court prohibited women from taking part in the imperial examinations, so she dressed up in disguise, pretending to be a man. This disguise turned out to be… She

has been pretending for five years.

She has never thought that if she really wins the Yuan Dynasty, or even wins the Yuan Dynasty and becomes a Jinshi, do I really want to give her an official position?”

At this point, she paused. He smiled and said: “That’s all, this girl is considered talented. In just five years, she has become the most talented person in the capital.

This time, I will not punish her for the crime of deceiving the emperor. If she is really successful, what will happen next year? Don’t take part in the examination again.”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, you are wise.”

Emperor Chu said again: “However, I still know something about the little girl from the Duke of Wei’s family. Although her examination papers are somewhat new. , but it won’t make the examiners I choose unable to make a decision.

Therefore, this exam paper should be for that boy from Fang Mansion. “

Fang Mansion? “

Liu Cheng was slightly startled.

Could it be that your Majesty is not talking about Fang Xiu?

When that guy takes part in the provincial examination, he probably won’t be able to pass the first level of marking staff. How could he let three examiners deliver the examination papers to the Holy See?

With this thought in his mind, Emperor Chu had already opened the examination paper.

After just one glance, a smile appeared on Emperor Chu’s face, and he said with a smile: “I guessed it right. The entire Gyeonggi region can write test papers that make the examiner unable to make a choice. After thinking about it, he is the only one. “

Besides, Liu Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

He really didn’t expect that Fang Xiu was so capable and could achieve anything.

I thought that taking the provincial examination was just a process, but I didn’t expect that all the articles had been placed in front of the emperor.

After Emperor Chu finished laughing, he opened the examination paper in front of him.

“Yes, the meaning of this scripture is well written, and some effort has been put into it.”

Emperor Chu glanced at it and said casually.

If this scripture had been written by another candidate, the Emperor of Chu might have scolded it, but when he thought that it was written by a Wu Xun, or Wu Xun who suffered from brain disease, he would not need to praise it.

After all, he knew very well what kind of person Fang Xiu was.

It is not easy to get him to read.

What’s worse is that he is asked to read the boring Four Books and Five Classics, and he has to write them down and understand their meaning.

After briefly glancing at the first part of the test paper, Emperor Chu turned to the next page.

The first part of the examination of the Four Books and Five Classics can only be said to be quite satisfactory. There are no mistakes, but there is nothing exciting either.

The reason why Gongyuan sent this examination paper to the palace was definitely not because of this first part.

“The grass on Liliyuan grows old and withers every year. Wildfires cannot burn it out, but spring breeze blows and grows again.”

Emperor Chu was stunned when he looked at this five-character and eight-rhyme poem.

Then, the smile gradually disappeared and his expression became serious.

Different people have different feelings when reading this poem.

After reading it, the three examiners thought that the poem was perfect in all aspects and fit the meaning of the farewell question, so they thought it was very good.

But when Emperor Chu saw it, he had a different feeling.

After a while, he returned to reality from the poem, raised his eyes, glanced at the memorial on the table, sighed, and said with emotion: “It’s not just the grass in Liliyuan that can’t be burned by this wild fire.”

Although This poem gave him an amazing feeling.

He even thought for a time that Fang Xiu had asked someone to memorize this poem in advance and then transcribed it during the provincial examination.

However, when I thought about it, what a coincidence it would be if I guessed the test questions and prepared such a handed down poem in advance.

Therefore, it can only be said that Fang Xiu’s talent is still beyond his imagination.

Even so, his five-character and eight-rhyme poem was not enough to get this examination paper sent to him.

The real focus should be behind.

Emperor Chu thought so, turned to the next page, and looked at the last part of the examination paper-strategy!
