In the evening, after the bell rang, the guards began to collect the scrolls, and then sealed them up.

Although this exam caused a small disturbance, the examinees were in a good mood.

Because... no matter whether this question is done well or not, everyone is really tired.

Exams are exhaustingly exhausting.

Tired all over, Liu Jie slowly walked out of the examination room with the test blue. Many examinees had already sent sedan chairs and chariots to pick them up.

But only the Liu Mansion has no such arrangement.

Perhaps everyone in the Liu family already knew that his young master didn't want anyone to pick him up.

Seeing that no one came from home, Liu Jie heaved a sigh of relief.

But... In fact, he did the question this time surprisingly smoothly.

Maybe it's because of writing the questions every day, many thoughts flowed out like spring water when I wrote the pen.

Furthermore, I have done this question before, and I have some impressions, so I have a little foundation.

The most difficult thing about stereotyped writing is to solve the problems, especially such strange problems. Once you can't think of a good way to solve the problems, no matter how talented you are, you will have to do nothing.

Furthermore, stereotyped essays do not require literary talent.

Those who can be selected as scholars must have basic skills. This is a word-filling game, and what words should be filled in at which paragraph, it depends on the basic skills.

This time... there might be hope.

There was light in Liu Jie's eyes.

But immediately, he became dejected again. After all... Too many failures have made him not have much confidence in himself.

…………

It was biting cold outside, but the warm pavilion in the palace was still as warm as spring.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting here, looking at an official document seriously, but he was amazed.

He couldn't help asking: "Who is Wang Bushi?"

"..."

Several cabinet scholars were dumbfounded.

Obviously, they were extremely unfamiliar with the name Wang Bushi.

Emperor Hongzhi blew his beard and stared and said, "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!"

With that said, he put the memorial aside!

Although it was scolding and nonsense, he found that he couldn't get to the bottom of this matter, because it was really no wonder that the prince and Fang Jifan were making trouble. These two guys came on the memorial, and hoped that he could give the ship a name.

Think about it, in fact, it is not easy for the prince and Fang Jifan.

The imperial court went to the West and asked the Ministry of War to mobilize all the resources of the imperial court, but the crown prince and Fang Jifan also worked for the imperial court. But you can't use the banner of the official, and you need to worry about everything yourself. If you have this kind of heart, it is already very commendable.

But he refused to give a name, fearing that he would lose Daming's prestige, so he had no choice but to let them judge by themselves.

This is what he opened his mouth. You can figure it out. What else can you say now?

The matter is done, and it can't be changed even if you want to. So many official documents are passed back and forth between various ministries and Tianjin Wei. This "king of the scum of the world is not an official".

However, he found that Liu Jian was a little out of his mind today, so he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Liu Qing's family, are you not feeling well today?"

"Ah..." Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and looked at Emperor Hongzhi blankly.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "Just now I was asking..."

"Your Majesty." Xie Qian came out to smooth things over at this moment: "Mr. Liu must be tired."

Seeing that there was something in Xie Qian's words, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help asking: "But I see, Liu Qing's family has something on their minds."

"This..." Liu Jian couldn't speak.

His son had already taken the provincial examination for the sixth time. To be honest, as a senior scholar of the capital, his son was in his forties and was still taking the provincial examination, which was embarrassing enough.

Now His Majesty's questioning made him a little bit embarrassed.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang knew about it, and they wanted to make way for Liu Jian, so as not to embarrass Liu Jian in front of the imperial court.

But at this time, Liu Jian sighed and said: "Don't dare to hide your majesty, my subject Liu Jie, today I will take the township examination... The Shuntianfu township exam, I guess it's over."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that he knew a little about this matter, but now he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

It’s just about the imperial examination, who is admitted, this is something that the emperor can’t change, any action that affects the fairness of the imperial examination may be criticized by the whole world, this is the root of scholars, thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help He glanced at Liu Jian sympathetically.

However, what Liu Jian can't accept the most is not necessarily the ridicule from others behind his back, but the sympathy from someone face to face!

This sympathy is really heartbreaking. What an excellent person I am. I am widely praised. Whether it is knowledge, morality, ability to govern the world, or the trust of the king, I am one of the best in the entire Ming Dynasty. Such an excellent person , How can I bear sympathy?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Let's stop here today. Since Liu Qing's family is not in good health, come here and prepare to drive and send Liu Qing's family out of the palace."

"This...Your Majesty, I dare not."

This means that it is a great honor for His Majesty to order someone to prepare a sedan chair for Liu Jian and leave the palace in a sedan chair.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Others dare not, why not the Qing family? Qing is my humerus, go back to the mansion and have a rest."

So the palace prepared

Soft sedan, Liu Jian really didn't have any thoughts today, so he simply left.

As soon as Liu Jian left, Emperor Hongzhi sighed quietly, glanced at Xie Qian and said, "Why didn't the two Qing family remind me earlier, hey, it really shouldn't be like this."

Xie Qian couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I didn't expect His Majesty to mention this suddenly..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and said: "Then Liu Jialang has studied for so many years, and he must have improved his knowledge a lot. You two Qings, do you think there is hope for him in this subject?"

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang fell silent in unison.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed: "It's okay to talk about it, I am very worried about Liu Qing."

"This..." Xie Qian had no choice but to say: "I have checked Liu Lang's examination papers for the first few subjects. His writing style is a bit mediocre. Most importantly, he always breaks the questions...unreasonable."

Xie Qian pointed out several major shortcomings of Liu Jie. To put it bluntly, Liu Jie is a person with too mediocre aptitude. It is luck for such a person to be a scholar. No chance.

Xie Qian said again: "In the past three years, I don't know if he has continued to study, but he is getting older and older, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "If the question is not difficult, maybe he still has a chance?"

Li Dongyang opened his mouth at this time: "The questions in the college examination will be easier, but the rural examination is bound to be more difficult. Liu Lang still has some foundation, but..."

Emperor Hongzhi saw that neither Li Dongyang nor Xie Qian had confidence in Liu Jie.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi realize that he was so busy these days that he had neglected the local examination in Shuntian Mansion: "The main examiner of this local examination... I remember that the candidate was Zhang Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, what questions did he ask? "

"At noon..." Li Dongyang paused and said, "A message came from the Gong Yuan, titled 'Ning Wu Zibang'."

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned, showing surprise.

Ning Wu Zibang... never heard of it.

Emperor Hongzhi was also a person who had read the Four Books. Although he was not proficient, he was definitely not taking it easy. His first reaction was, in his memory, did the words Ning Wu Zibang appear in the Four Books?

Xie Qian took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "The master said: Ning Wuzi, if the state has the way, you will know it, and if the state has no way, you will be stupid..."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi finally had an impression, and his old face couldn't help but blush, no wonder he didn't have an impression, so...

"This Zhang Sheng!" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help saying angrily, "It's really not a thing!"

"..."

"..."

Now, it was Xie Qian and Li Dongyang's turn to be confused.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they were concerned about Mr. Liu's rural examination, from the bottom of their hearts, they still appreciated Zhang Sheng's question, and Zhang Butang could be regarded as a new one if he could come up with such a trick in the question.

Of course, with sullen faces, Xie Qian said, "Zhang Sheng is a bit too much, and it's not easy for the candidates."

Li Dongyang also said: "It is said that in the morning, an examinee went crazy and was kicked out."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and didn't continue to say anything. In fact, he knew that Li Dongyang and Liu Jian were speaking against their will. Whether it was Zhang Sheng, Li Dongyang or Xie Qian, even if Liu Jie didn't take the exam, then Liu Jian would be counted. People, let them be the examiners, they probably also punish the candidates to death.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed for a long time. It seems that Liu Qing's family is about to be disappointed again. These days, when Liu Jian played the right role in front of him, he had to be careful with what he said, so as not to touch people's hearts and poke people's hearts. .

………………

When Liu Jian returned to the mansion, the mansion seemed deserted, his face was expressionless, and soon, the principal Liu An offered him a cup of tea.

Liu Jian sat down in the hall without saying anything.

But Liu An said in a low voice: "Master, the young master came back an hour ago, and then went back to the house."

"Hmm..." Liu Jian took a sip of his tea and said flatly, "Got it."

His mood was a little low, but he still deliberately pretended to be indifferent.

Liu An said again: "These days, the villain will pay special attention to the young master."

"Okay." Liu Jian just nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you, hey, these three years are a hurdle, like a gate of hell, Zixin... Every time I have to pass this gate of hell, I feel uncomfortable. Don't bother him on weekdays. Let him be alone. He has his difficulties. It's not that he didn't work hard enough these years. In fact...it's not a bad thing if he doesn't pass the exam. Who said that the son of the old man must win the Juren and the Jinshi? No. Thing, um... that's it... Oh, by the way, last time he said that studying in Xishan was very interesting, I advised him to go to Xishan more when you have time, and do whatever you like, don't be afraid of any rumors, people Well, living in this world is not all about fame and fame, as long as he can be happier."
