I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 165 The Arrival of Academic Affairs
Zhan Feiyu was not surprised that Zhang Zhifu would show a strong side of a party member, but looking at Kou Yuanxing, who looked at Kou Yuanxing with resolute and crazy eyes, after all, he was a teenager in his teens, presumably Zhang Zhifu's thirty boards were just a verbal deterrent.

Taking into account his young age, Qi Heng broke through the crowd and squeezed in. After a glance, he leaned over to Zhan Feiyu, "Is Kou Yuanxing crazy?"

"Probably." Zhan Feiyu nodded in agreement.

Regardless of whether Kou Yuanxing was instigated by others or he intended to sue Zhang Zhifu for cheating in the imperial examination, no matter how talented Kou Yuanxing was, he would never be able to become an official in the imperial examination again in this life.

Looking at the court stick in the hands of the yamen servant, Qi Heng thought of the time last year when he played truant from school, Master Ming hit Shibanzi's palm with a ruler, which made the arrogant little fat man's eyes red with pain.

After returning to Qi's house, Qi's father looked at his son whose left palm was red and swollen, but instead of continuing to toss his left hand, which was swollen into a pig's trotter, he took off his trousers and almost opened his ass.

Looking at Kou Yuanxing who was so skinny that he seemed to have only a handful of bones left, Qi Heng touched his chubby cheeks, then turned his head to look at Zhan Feiyu who also had a steamed bun face, and couldn't help asking: "Can he Can you stand thirty boards? You won’t beat people to death, right? I heard that Kou Yuanxing’s family has dozens of acres of fertile land, how can you be so thin?”

Before Zhan Feiyu could speak, an angry shout sounded from outside the crowd, "Yuan Xing, what are you doing?"

He didn't see Kou Yuanxing early in the morning, and Master Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to go out to find someone, he saw the scholar renting next door running over in a hurry.

It was only then that Master Xiao knew that Kou Yuanxing went to the gate of the government office to beat drums to protest his grievances. The person who sued was Zhang Zhifu, the chief examiner of the government examination. Master Xiao’s eyes were darkened. If he was not worried about the student Kou Yuanxing, he might have passed away by then.

"Master, as the saying goes, if you know what you can't do and do it, you are called a gentleman." Kou Yuanxing looked at Master Xiao with determination and apology in his eyes.

But when he turned to face Zhang Zhifu, Kou Yuanxing's eyes suddenly turned gloomy and fierce, "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death! Zhang Zhifu, I recognize the [-]th board!"

A young boy with a thin body but standing straight, with a fearless and decisive face, making people who don't know the inside story think Zhang Zhifu is a stupid official who caressing about human life.

The scholars watching looked at each other. Although everyone had some opinions on Zhan Feiyu becoming the head of the government examination case, it was more due to their own jealousy. In fact, they had already recognized Zhan Feiyu's talent and learning in their hearts, but they didn't want to. Was crushed on the head by a nine-year-old girl.

"Kou Yuanxing, you are suing the government for the fraud in the imperial examination. You mean that Zhan Feiyu was selected by the government as the head of the government examination?" Zhang Zhifu looked condescendingly at Kou Yuanxing, who looked at death as if he were at home, and continued in a deep voice: "This time there are all graders in the government examination. Seven people, those with excellent articles..."

When they heard that there was Patriarch Qin among the examiners, many people's expressions changed.

Not long ago, Zhao Jiaoyu, the county school student in Shangsi County, sued the Qin family for poisoning his granddaughter. There was an uproar, and the scholarly family of the Qin family was also implicated.

The head of the Qin family was the professor of Nanxuanfu's school before, and the other examiner was Liu Daohong, a great scholar. He was once a two-ranked Jinshi, but now lives in seclusion in Bailin Mountain outside the East Lake. Not only the students of Nanxuanfu, but also the students of other states Scholars often visit and ask Liu Daru for advice.

It is well known that Patriarch Qin and Liu Daohong have a very good personal relationship, and Chief Ming Shan is also one of the reviewers. If Zhang Zhifu would cover up Zhan Feiyu, Patriarch Qin is absolutely impossible, and neither will Liu Daru and Chief Ming Shan.
For the top [-] papers of the government examination, in addition to the word "take" written by the examiner, Zhang Zhifu, the chief examiner, also needs to write "middle" after reviewing, and the top ten papers, Zhang Zhifu and the rest of the papers. .

This shows that all seven examiners have approved her essay, and she is a well-deserved top case in the government examination.

Qi Heng raised his elbow and bumped Zhan Feiyu, "Your position at the head of the case is justified."

The papers of the government examination are also vague. Zhang Zhifu dared to let Patriarch Qin be the examiner, probably to prevent someone from making a fuss to slander Zhan Feiyu.

On the other side, the Qin family knew that Zhan Feiyu was the head of the court trial, and that he had won the key. The Qin family was so angry that they almost vomited old blood.

It's not that Patriarch Qin didn't think about tampering. When checking the examination paper, after seeing the wonderful sentence that broke the question, Patriarch Qin guessed that the article was written by Zhan Feiyu.

Especially when he saw the neat and beautiful pavilion body, Patriarch Qin became even more suspicious, and he also thought about getting out of the paper.

But he is not the only judge, and Zhan Feiyu's articles are far-reaching and rational. Although the rhetoric is not gorgeous, it cannot be said that the flaws are not concealed, at most, the literary talent is not enough to add icing on the cake!

Such a rare and good article, not to mention being the first in the government examination, even in the hospital examination, is definitely the best. Thinking that Zhan Feiyu is a student of Gu Xueshi, all the dark thoughts of the Qin family leader dissipated. Can't stand any waves anymore.

"My lord, Yuan Xing failed the government examination this time. He was young and couldn't accept it for a while, so he made such a ridiculous move. Please forgive me." Mr. Xiao knelt down to plead for Kou Yuanxing, hoping that the stubborn Kou Yuanxing would know his way return.

Zhang Zhifu did not open his mouth, but looked at Kou Yuanxing, who was thin and could be blown away by the wind, and compared it with the plump, white and tender Zhan Feiyu next to her, and Qi Heng, who was also round in blue brocade gown beside her, was also a scholar , these two little ones are obviously much more gratifying.

"Zhan Feiyu deserves the title of the first case in the government test. The government will paste the top ten articles in the government test tomorrow outside the government office. Three people must have my teacher. Choose the good one and follow it. Our government I hope you will be diligent and enterprising, and you will be named on the gold list as soon as possible." Zhang Zhifu also read Kou Yuanxing's article, and he even surpassed Zhan Feiyu in terms of literary talent, especially his five-character and eight-rhyme poems, which can be ranked first.

But the Daqing Dynasty was not the previous dynasty. The imperial examinations only valued poems and songs. Compared with literary talents, today's saints pay more attention to policy theory, and Zhan Feiyu's articles can be said to be penetrating, with a stronger intention than Kou Yuanxing, and far stronger than those who read dead books , A student who is dead studying.

Zhang Zhifu glanced at the calm and composed little girl. She was cute and beautiful, but she had a broad vision, and she was more like an heir cultivated by a family. Who would have thought that she had only been in school for two years and was born in a poor farming family.

"Students remember the teachings of adults." A group of scholars replied loudly. If there was still a little bit of doubt before, but Zhang Zhifu dared to paste the top ten articles in the government examination, it is enough to show that Zhan Feiyu's case is not due to favoritism and fraud. Come.

Zhang Zhifu looked at Kou Yuanxing who was unmoved again, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you have no dispute over Zhan Feiyu's case, so you sued this government because this government disqualified your government and let you be listed on the list." Unnamed."

"I'm just a white body, no high-ranking teacher. As the magistrate of Nanxuan, my lord covers the sky with one hand." Kou Yuanxing sneered loudly. This stubborn and crazy appearance did not look like a high-spirited young man at all.

"But a man would rather be broken than broken, shameless to live, life is better than death!" The moment Kou Yuanxing's words fell, the dagger in his right hand slashed towards his neck, but he wanted to show his will with death.

"Yuan Xing!" Master Xiao who was kneeling on the ground shouted sharply.

It's too late, so fast!Just when everyone thought that Kou Yuanxing was about to splatter three feet with blood, a figure quickly flew over, grabbed Kou Yuanxing's wrist precisely, and snatched the dagger from his hand with one force.

Geng Butou threw the dagger to the side policeman, and did not let go of Kou Yuanxing's hand to prevent him from committing suicide again.

"He's really crazy!" The little fat man Qi Heng opened his mouth wide in fright. The most outrageous thing he did, apart from playing truant last year, was that he took a classmate from Class A to block Zhan Feiyu.

But looking at Kou Yuanxing, who was not a few years older than himself, wiping his neck with a dagger, Qi Heng turned pale from being frightened. Could it be that if he fails the ranking, he will commit suicide?
Zhan Feiyu glanced around, and there were a few people hidden in the crowd. They didn't look like scholars, and their sharp eyes looked more like Lian Jiazi. I think Zhang Zhifu has already made all the preparations.

"Let me go!" Kou Yuanxing yelled angrily, but he was only a boy in his teens, and he was not strong enough to break free from Geng Butou's imprisonment.

Xiao Fuzi sat down on the ground, forgetting the elegant demeanor of a literati.

"Kou Yuanxing, your words and deeds in the Gongyuan were wrong..." Zhang Zhifu raised his voice a little bit, and explained the reason why Kou Yuanxing was not listed on the list.

It’s okay to say that the prefect Zhang can make a big fuss, but the root cause is that Kou Yuanxing made a lot of nonsense and used the imperial examination as a bet, and the prefect Zhang just punished him with a small punishment and canceled the ranking of this prefectural examination, which is not too much.

Up to this moment, both the onlookers and ordinary people felt that Kou Yuanxing was making trouble for no reason. Fortunately, he was young, and everyone was more tolerant, but he also understood the true meaning of the four words of prudence and prudence.

Although Zhang Zhifu said before that he wanted a staff of [-] sticks, but Kou Yuanxing was still young, and he never really punished him. It's not negotiable to hit you.

Master Xiao was even more grateful, and wished he could hold Kou Yuanxing to kowtow to Zhang Zhifu to thank Zhang Zhifu. He is young, and if he fails this year, there will be next year!
Furthermore, Mr. Xiao felt that Kou Yuanxing and Zhan Feiyu would be good if they were separated. If they were in the same year, they would have to go to the provincial or general examinations in the future. I'm afraid there would be more conflicts.

"My lord Zhang, why is this place so noisy?" Suddenly, a displeased voice sounded coldly from outside the crowd.

Zhan Feiyu looked back, but saw four guards separated the crowd, and a man in a round-neck robe walked over slowly. The man had his hands behind his back, and his figure was slightly thin, but his whole body looked rich and elegant His face was tense and his eyes were indifferent, obviously the visitor was not kind.

"Who is this?" The little fat man Qi Heng glanced at him, only feeling that this man was full of airs and dared to put on airs in front of Zhang Zhifu.

The first thing Zhan Feiyu saw was the four guards. Although they all had ordinary faces, their temples were protruding high, their eyes were as sharp as knives, and they were full of murderous intent. "Ah Nuan."

"Miss, these four are masters." He Nuan replied in a low voice. He didn't know how strong these four were without fighting, but as a warrior, He Nuan could feel that these four were not simple. Can't beat it.

Glancing at Kou Yuanxing, Zhan Feiyu suddenly understood that this person might be from the Chen family: Xuezheng Master Chen.

Prefect Zhang was not surprised by Chen Xuezheng's appearance, and immediately saluted, "I pay my respects to Mr. Chen."

Chen Xuezheng glanced at Zhang Zhifu with gloomy eyes, nodded arrogantly, scanned the crowd, and finally fixed on Zhan Feiyu.

Although there were a few young girls among the people watching, and their clothes were expensive, anyone with a discerning eye could see the difference in Zhan Feiyu, and it was exactly what the sentence said: Poetry and literary spirit in his belly.The elegant atmosphere of the book cannot be possessed by clothes or appearance.

Zhan Feiyu was also straightforward, saluting neither humble nor overbearing, so that no one could catch any mistakes.

A nine-year-old girl actually cheated the Chen family of 55 shi of rice, and stepped on the Chen family to become famous in the army!Chen Xuezheng half-closed his eyes, his expression became more and more gloomy and treacherous.

When Liu Jian was dismissed from office and exiled, the Chen family should have eradicated it!It's just that old Patriarch Chen prevented Chen Xuezheng from killing Zhan Feiyu.

Outsiders don't know, but Chen's family, who is the eldest prince, has better news. Movable type printing was created by Zhan Feiyu. Zhan Feiyu's intention to kill is to make an enemy of the Holy One.

In particular, the Holy Majesty did not appoint a crown prince. If the First Prince was disliked by the Holy Majesty at this juncture, it would definitely not be worth the loss to the Chen family. Besides, Zhan Feiyu was just a little girl, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

It's just that whether it is the old Patriarch Chen or the persuaded Chen Xuezheng, neither of them expected that Zhan Feiyu would cheat the Chen family again, and even let the Nanxuan Mansion out of the control of the Chen family, and let the monolithic Jiangnan Road appear. gap.

"My lord, the student Kou Yuanxing wants to inform the government of the fraudulent imperial examinations!" Kou Yuanxing seized the opportunity and shouted, struggling hard, trying to get rid of Geng's captivity.

Chen Xuezheng withdrew his gaze, and cast a cold glance, "Let him go, tell me what wrongs you have done."

After being free, Kou Yuanxing knelt on his knees and kowtowed, and then quickly talked about Zhang Zhifu's cancellation of his own test ranking, but blurred the focus of the matter.

"You mean that Mr. Zhang canceled your ranking in the government test because he protected Zhan Feiyu? Otherwise, you will be the first case in the government test?" Chen Xuezheng sneered playfully. He asked Kou Yuanxing this question, but his gloomy gaze It was looking at Zhang Zhifu.

"Yes, in order to curry favor with Zhan Feiyu's teacher Gu Dashi, the prefect Zhang asked the adults to make decisions for the students and give the students justice!" Kou Yuanxing kowtowed again.

"Since the government examination is involved, I will be promoted to the court to ask the case, but Kou Yuanxing, do you know that according to the Daqing law, the public must sue the official for thirty!" Master Chen said the same thing as Zhang Zhifu in a cold voice.

Zhang Zhifu previously said that the stick was thirty, which was just a verbal deterrent, but looking at Mr. Chen's cold-blooded and ruthless appearance, he clearly disregarded Kou Yuanxing's life and death. If he really sued Zhang Zhifu, he would be punished by thirty Board penalty.

"Students know, but as long as the imperial examination is fair, students are not afraid!" Kou Yuanxing raised his head, his forehead had been knit blue, and he looked at Zhang Zhifu with paranoid and crazy eyes, determined to appeal.
