Chapter 731 How to decide?

The huge examination room was quiet, and the sound of footsteps in the distance could be faintly heard. The smell of ink in the air was not pleasant, but added to the sense of urgency.

There was the sound of brushes rubbing against paper in the examination room on the left and right, but Yun Jing was a little dazed looking at the examination paper in front of him.

The eye-catching poetry test questions were right in front of him, there was no requirement, as long as it was original, but he didn't know how to write it.

He is really not good at writing poetry.

Speaking of the characters of the Dali Dynasty, Yun Jing didn't know and couldn't write, so it can't be said that there weren't many, but there were definitely not many, but why is it so difficult to compose each character into a poem?
The so-called difficulty is relative. It is no problem for him to write some running words, but it is really difficult for him to write a barely passable poem.

Time passed, the sun gradually rose, breakfast and lunch were distributed, and Yunjing also ate, but he didn't write a word about composing poems.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't help scratching his head a little. How long has it been since he felt a sense of urgency?Hey, I realized it today.

He knew in his heart that although poetry is not necessary for this exam, it will still affect part of the results. Even if it only affects a little bit, it is an important matter for a base of more than [-] candidates.

This is already the last day of the exam, and it will be over in less than half a day, but Yunjing is a little confused when he plans to write a poem...

Gradually, the sky became cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Under such circumstances, many people in various parts of Dali capital looked up at the sky with astonishment, why is it going to rain?
Xia Ziyang was drinking tea with Mrs. Huang, and the eldest princess Xia Ziyue was by her side.

Xia Ziyue, who kept pouring tea, looked at the sky with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and continued to pour tea with her head lowered.

Xia Ziyang was hesitant to hear Mrs. Huang, and he was a little confused: "Mr. Huang, why did the sky suddenly change?"

"It's not what you think. It has nothing to do with Xiaojing. It's just an imperial examination. It won't let his mood swings affect the changes in the sky." Huang Changyang shook his head and laughed.

Xia Ziyue and her brother looked at each other. Since Huang Lao said so, it seems that it really has nothing to do with the cloud scene, but the natural weather changes.

"Sister Huang, isn't it a little too much to add poetry test questions to this imperial examination? After all, many people know that Yunqing is not good at this kind of thing. If he misunderstands that he is deliberately targeting him..." Xia Ziyue hesitated Confused.

That's right, Xia Ziyue proposed adding poetry to the imperial examination this time. Of course, she was just making a suggestion. Whether to adopt it or not depends on the ministers who make the decision. Even if she is classified as the eldest princess, she cannot directly intervene in the imperial examination Such a big deal.

In the end, Huang Changyang nodded and carried it on. It had no other meaning. The main reason was that there had been no poetry examination questions for many years, so it was to stimulate Dali's poetry culture. What if some famous poems were published in this imperial examination.

I really didn't mean to target Yunjing on purpose...

Xia Ziyue sat down gracefully and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing is not as narrow-minded as the emperor thinks, so the candidates all have the same test questions, how can it be said that they are targeting him?"

Xia Ziyang thought so too.

Huang Changyang didn't have so many worries, and joked: "Xiaoyue suggested poetry exam questions, and I think Xiaojing was obviously implicated. After waiting for many years, the clay figurine still has three points of resentment. You don't want to trouble Li Qiu. Just take out his anger on his apprentice, it's nice to be young"...

"I'm not, I don't, Mr. Huang, don't say that," Xia Ziyue said quickly.

Huang Changyang smiled, thinking what are you in a hurry for?Changed the subject and said: "In this case, other candidates should also feel more balanced. After all, it is well known that Xiaojing is not good at poetry."

"That's right, you have to consider the emotions of other candidates," Xia Ziyang said with deep conviction.

From their point of view, we need to consider the overall situation. After all, Yunjing has a great reputation, which puts too much pressure on others. If the candidates can be given the opportunity to surpass Yunjing in other aspects, the mentality of the candidates will be balanced some.

"I don't know if Xiaojing will bite the bullet and deal with it, or just give up on this question," Xia Ziyue said, looking in the direction of the examination room.

"Let's wait and see..."

In the examination room, Yun Jing rested his chin in one hand and stared at the examination questions in a daze. He racked his brains and didn't know what to write. It seemed that the end of the examination was not far away.

It was cloudy for a while without rain, and gradually the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the last meal of the imperial examination was also delivered.

A dish of side dishes, a bowl of soup and two pancakes are not rich or delicious, but they can make people full. Yunjing is also a human being, and he needs to eat. Of course, this food is not enough to maintain his daily consumption, it is just a habit It's just a feeling of satiety from sex.

He couldn't think of anything to write, so he just ate something, and it was free anyway.

He eats very carefully and does not waste food.

As he was eating, he wanted to write something as if he was so blessed, and he stopped eating all of a sudden.

Subconsciously put down the pancake in his hand, dipped the pen and ink, and wrote a poem on the blank paper.

'Fluffs are flying on the wall in the wind'

After writing this sentence, he paused, not knowing how to proceed for a while. The reason why he wrote this poem was that when he was eating, he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his house was barren, and when the wind blew, grass clippings flew on the thatched roof of his house. .

At that time, his family was really poor, and he had to plan carefully if he wanted to have a full meal. When his mother gave birth to himself, he could only eat the rice at the bottom of the porridge, while his father and grandfather who were engaged in heavy physical labor could only drink rice soup.

After so many years, the poverty at the beginning no longer exists, and now there is nothing lacking.

Recalling the situation when he was a child, Yunjing looked at the simple food at hand, and perhaps felt it, and wrote the next few lines of poetry in one breath.

'The stars make cakes for the moonlight'

'Without horns, plowing and hatred are powerless'

'One porridge, one meal feast Taiping'

After writing a four-sentence seven-character poem in one breath, Yun Jing stared at the words on the paper in a daze. These four lines of poems can be described as the most authentic portrayal of his childhood life, and each sentence carried the most authentic experience he had ever had.

In the wind, catkins are flying on the wall, and the stars make cakes for the moonlight. There is no horn, but there is no power to cultivate and hate. One porridge and one meal are peaceful.

The former Yunjing’s house had four walls, and when the wind blew, grass clippings flew all over the roof. At night, they were reluctant to light up the lamps, so they lit up with the stars and the moon. The days at that time were too bitter. The moon in the sky looked like delicious pancakes. There were no cattle in the house. It could be human power to plow the land. My father and grandfather hated that they were not strong enough to plow too much land. Yun Jing watched from the side of the field and hated that he did not have the strength to help, but he survived even the most difficult days. Looking back at the beginning, it was just a porridge. Food and clothing, looking at the world, if everyone can have three meals a day, then the world will be peaceful. …

Looking at the poem he wrote, Yun Jing didn't know if it was good or not, and he didn't worry about whether it rhymed or not, and he didn't care whether it was neat or not, but it was definitely from the heart.

After pondering for a moment, he wrote the title of the poem on the top: "Recalling the Poverty of My Childhood" - Shou Xin

After writing, Yun Jing didn't bother about the imperial examinations anymore. After reading for many years, a small poem or an article written out of feelings is an account of his study for so many years, and he doesn't care about the final results. If there are too many, even if he fails the ranking, there is a high probability that he will not take the second imperial examination.

"For many years, I have never let go of the pen, and it is the last stroke, but I feel a little empty in my heart", Yun Jing couldn't help feeling emotional.

Immediately he considered that this was an imperial examination after all, and that the little poem in front of him was written by him because of his previous feelings. Every stroke and every line contained the spiritual will of the mythical realm. Not everyone can read it. Below, just the mental will fluctuations contained in it can't bear it, and don't even pick up this seemingly light paper.

So Yunjing erased the spiritual will from the poem, and it was just a small poem written in ordinary ink, except for the neat and beautiful handwriting, the content is probably absent.

Uh, maybe because of my celebrity effect, this poem will be widely circulated, and it may give birth to countless people's various high-level interpretations, tsk, this kind of thing is not impossible.

'Celebrity', with its own halo, who knows what kind of thoughts and feelings Yunjing had when he wrote this poem...

Putting the answer sheet away, Yunjing no longer struggled with the imperial examination, but carefully ate the remaining cold food, and finally sat upright, waiting for the imperial examination to end.

The closer the imperial examination ended, the atmosphere in the examination room became tense. The others didn't know how they were feeling, but Yun Jing was unmoved. After years of hard work, he had put his heart into the imperial examination this time, and the result would be nothing. No regrets.

Dangdang~!

When the sun was setting and the bell was ringing, it meant that the imperial examination was officially over. An examiner immediately announced that the examinees would stop writing and leave the examination room only after the papers were collected. At the same time, the expressions of the soldiers in the examination room were also cold Get up, anyone who dares to make a change will be treated harshly. They are soldiers and obey orders, and they don't care whether candidates like you are officials or masters in the future.

The three-day exam time is already quite a lot, but there are still many candidates who have not been able to hand in a complete answer sheet, but dare not show how they feel at this time, so they have to endure it.

Bullock carts shuttled through the examination room, and the names of the examination papers were covered by illiterate people before they were put away, even the manuscripts in the examination room were taken away.

After all the examination papers were collected and escorted away, the examiner announced that the candidates had left the venue. Prince Xia Taohe congratulated all the candidates at the end.

When it was announced that the examinees had left the examination room, the examination room suddenly became noisy. Some people cried loudly, some stamped their feet and beat their chests, some shook their heads and sighed, and some were full of joy, all kinds of performances were different...

After collecting the four treasures of the study arranged by the imperial court for this imperial examination, Yunjing decided to take them away as a souvenir. He began to read and write at the age of six. After more than ten years, thousands of days and nights, he finally passed the "student" section time. …

Yun Jing doesn't plan to be an official, even if he can't be admitted to Jinshi, he is still qualified to be an official because of his merits, but wouldn't it be good to be a wild crane? Of course, if something happens that endangers the people or even the country, he will not sit idly by of.

"Only in terms of reading, now that the imperial examination is over, I suddenly find that I am a little confused," Yun Jing thought to himself on the way out of the examination room.

The so-called password is just a student life, aside from this, there are more important things for him to do.

Many candidates who finished the exam were discussing about the exam, Yunjing didn't participate, he was like a passer-by, and no one bothered him, but he heard many people saying that he didn't know how 'that' did in the exam...

Leaving the examination room, the sky is like a sunset.

Too many people gathered outside the examination room. They ordered to find their target students. Some candidates hugged and cried with their family members to comfort them, while some were smiling.

After half of the candidates left the examination room, they almost all went to the brothel together, some to celebrate, some to drink away their worries.

When I was young and willful, the red sleeves were full of tricks...

"Master, this way", Song Yan waited early outside the examination room, waving at Yunjing from a distance, but there were too many people, and even his martial arts cultivation level could not squeeze him in.

After the 'finally' round, Song Yan took what Yunjing brought out from the examination room, and the result was unknown until the results were released, so he never mentioned anything about the exam, but said: "Master, five days after the results are released Well, can I arrange for you to relax?"

"Xiao Song, you have learned badly." Yun Jing shook his head and said, naturally understanding what he meant.

Smiling, Song Yan said: "I see that other candidates who participated in the imperial examinations all went to relax after the end."

"I'm not that interested, and my former classmates and friends are not here, otherwise I can have a drink with them." Yun Jing shook his head and said.

He grew up too fast. Most of the students who used to be in the Niujiao Town School at the beginning now don't even have the reputation of being a child student. Some of the few students are working hard to become scholars, and very few who are admitted to the school are also becoming scholars. He worked so hard that Yunjing didn't even have a single classmate during the Jinshi examination.

Of course, this is also the reason why he didn't continue to 'study' after graduating from Niujiao Town, otherwise why would he not even have a classmate who took part in the Jinshi examination.

The classmates are classmates, but they are not the same year. There is still a big difference. When the Jiangzhou Juren Examination was held, there must have been people who participated in the imperial examination in the same year, but the relationship has become unfamiliar due to well-known reasons. Even though Yunjing did not forget the original intention, But would people feel comfortable staying with him?
Sometimes Yun Jing can really feel the feeling of being overwhelmed by the heights, but the problem is that he is still young.

The friends who are really not affected by his changes are probably Wang Bolin and the others. Unfortunately, they are no longer in the capital.

Song Yan stopped paying attention, and accompanied Yunjing back home. In the next few days, Yunjing didn't go anywhere, quietly waiting for the day when the rankings would be released. The habit developed over the years, even if it can be called the end of his student life , he still reads books and practices calligraphy, it seems that there is no change in the soldiers...

The students participating in this imperial examination have finished their exams, and the next step is intensive marking and marking. With more than [-] candidates, it takes five days to select [-] Jinshi places and outstanding talents, which is a heavy job Fortunately, the court sent a large group of capable ministers. …

The closed grading place can be described as full of enthusiasm, and various voices can be heard endlessly.

"This article is good. With the theme of the gap between the rich and the poor, it deeply shows various contradictions and disadvantages, and also proposes a solution. It has a lot of merits, and it is not too much to give it a second? What do you think? ?”

"Look at this poem, everyone. It's really wonderful. It's a pity that the name of the lake is not only written by that great talent. It's just this article, which is a bit unsatisfactory. I have talent but no skills. I hope I can wake up."

"What the hell is this? It doesn't make sense, it's just dirty."

"Look at this handwriting, it's really pleasing to the eye, just based on this handwriting, the old man will give him a B, and let me read the content before making a judgment..."

There are more than [-] examination papers, even though there are many grading staff, it is impossible for people to carefully observe each one, and you can see the good and bad at a quick glance, put the good ones aside, and throw the unsightly ones into the basket.

On such a huge base, I have to say that a good word is really a stepping stone.

Layer upon layer of screening, most of the marking staff selected [-] excellent test papers from more than [-] test papers. It took two days for this workload alone, and then a group of marking staff began to select from the [-] excellent answer papers. Choose the best among the best, and select the best of the five hundred copies.

And the final 200 Jinshi will be born from the [-] excellent answer sheets, and the remaining [-] people will have the opportunity to become fellow Jinshi along with the [-] completed answers.

It can be said that even the number of [-] can't get in, so this time the imperial examination will just run with you.

Among the [-] best answer sheets, if [-] Jinshi are determined, then it is not up to the reviewers to make decisions. These answer sheets will be sent to the emperor for review, and the emperor and the ministers will discuss and decide. One level to worry about.

On the fourth day after the imperial examination ended, the [-]-point excellent answer sheet was escorted to the palace. Xia Ziyang led the ministers to participate in the evaluation and finally determined the three list of Jinshi, including the prince Xia Tao. It seems that Xia Ziyang is He is really training his team.

But at this time, the old master Huang Changyang came in person. It stands to reason that it is just a mere imperial examination for Jinshi. He has no right to alarm the old man. It should be noted that in his hundreds of years of life, he has passed the imperial examination for Jinshi countless times.

Then the old man came here in person, if there is no accident, it must be because of Yunjing, maybe he wanted to see it first, and he could bear it until this time, instead of taking Yunjing's test paper away after the exam, he is also considered restrained.

"You don't have to worry about me, just discuss and decide for yourself, and don't let me influence your own judgment. Get talents for the country, and the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down. Remember not to be sloppy." After coming here, Huang Changyang set the tone first, and then It became the background board.

After a tense and intense discussion, the ministers finally selected the most outstanding [-] answer sheets from the [-] answer sheets and presented them to Xia Ziyang for review.

Not surprisingly, the 200 Jinshi candidates for the imperial examination this time were candidates for these answers. In the end, Xia Ziyang had to come in person to make the top [-] Jinshi. The remaining [-] people, although divided into B and C, actually The rankings are in no particular order, but the real gold content is still the top [-]. …

Next, after several hours of careful comparison and selection, Xia Ziyang delineated [-] first-ranked scholars from the [-] answer sheets.

Until this time, for the sake of fairness, all the answer sheets are still in the state of the lake name. With Huang Changyang watching from the side, no one dares to mess around. As for the owner who analyzes the answer sheet from the handwriting, whether he can prefer some of them depends on the individual's eyes. inside.

After Xia Ziyang confirmed the top [-] candidates, the next thing was easy.

Others are okay to say, what kind of talents do we have to be on the top list?

At the same time, everyone present was a little nervous. Before that, they all belonged to the name of the lake. What if that person was dismissed?Is it possible to go back and rummage through more than [-] answer sheets?
It's about that person, I'm tangled up thinking about it, what would he think if he was really dismissed?But it's all like this, could it be that someone replaces him if it becomes his mood?

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen. As the name of the lake was unraveled, the names of the top [-] top scholars came into people's sight.

When they saw Yun Jing's name in it, everyone present was inexplicably relieved, but they also took it for granted, after all, it would be strange if he couldn't enter the first list.

Seeing Yunjing's name, Xia Ziyang actually ignored the others, and subconsciously reached for Yunjing's answer sheet, but before he could touch it, the answer sheet flew into Huang Changyang's hand with the score.

What can he do, he can only smile and withdraw his hand.

"Haha, I'm waiting for the old man to see it first, but I want to see what shocking articles Xiaojing can write. Tsk, it's the first time when I joined the Jinshi in the mythical realm."

Huang Changyang smiled, and then he went through the Yunjing answer sheet word by word but very quickly. First, the poem. He read it and said, "I thought he would just give up, but I didn't expect to write a poem..., tsk, the rumors are so true." Xu, Xiaojing really doesn’t have any poetic talent, so this poem can barely catch the eye, but the lines between the lines are full of sincerity. Those who write poems are afraid that their thoughts will fall into an illusion to experience the bitterness and bitterness of the bottom, and I will read this article again after the old man, eh...?"

When browsing Yunjing's article, Huang Changyang fell silent instead, and everyone's hearts froze, what do you mean by this?Is it good or bad, can you give me a hint?

After a while, Huang Changyang put down Yunjing's answer sheet with a calm expression, and pondered: "The words in his article are not gorgeous, but the content is deafening. This is the talent for governing the country, but because it is him, it is also a good idea." It's not surprising, it's just a Jinshi imperial examination, Xiaojing Weiwei used too much force, it can be said to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer..."

Having said that, he paused again: "Besides, the content in this article may be a bit extreme in some aspects, and it is not in line with many people's ideas, but I am deeply shocked by pushing it down. In short, the article is good. Article, there is no doubt about this point, but if it is to be implemented, it needs to be treated with caution, well, this is what the old man said, this trip is worthwhile, let’s go and let go.”

After finishing speaking, Huang Changyang nodded slightly to the crowd and left. He will no longer participate in the next thing.

After he left, the people present looked at each other, and then rushed to Yunjing's answer sheet. Xia Ziyang didn't care about the image of the emperor at the moment, and Xia Tao smiled helplessly when he saw this, it was really crowded Don't go in.

The crowd looked at Yunjing's answer sheet, and everyone put his poem aside after reading it. Mr. Huang had already commented on it before, and they really didn't dare to say anything more.

And when they saw Yunjing's article, some people gasped, especially about the popularization of education. Although Yunjing tried his best to use euphemistic words, it still impacted the current education system. It had too much to do with it.

However, Mr. Huang had already set the tone before, and people did not dare to express their opinions rashly. At the same time, they also understood that it was Yunjing who dared to make such remarks in the imperial examination. Try someone else!

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

Not long after, no one knew who broke the silence, and never mentioned the question of Yunjing's examination paper, but said: "Your Majesty, since the first-ranked Scholars have come out, then the top three will be determined by Your Majesty."

It stands to reason that the first-ranked Jinshi will be confirmed after the palace examination and interview with the emperor, but the fact is that the decision is made before then, and the palace examination is just a process.

Now everyone's concern is that Xia Ziyang will determine who the top three are. After all, the name of Yunjing among the 100 people is too eye-catching, how will His Majesty decide?
