Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 180 Zhang Jieyuan

A day ago, the officials in the Tribute Court made the final ranking.

Other rankings are easy to handle, but this No.1 name has caused everyone's controversy.

"This Wei's article is unconventional, and there are abnormal people. He can win the exam, but he shouldn't be the first one, just give him eleven or twelve!"

An old official said excitedly.

Because the great master wants to put Zhang Wei's name first, but he disagrees. According to his true thoughts, it is not an exaggeration to kill Zhang Wei's article.

Every autumn, there are always people who are sensational and unconventional.Trying in vain to win people's attention with crooked ways, and pass the exam.

But this kind of unconventionalism, this kind of sensationalism is usually used to cover up their lack of knowledge and understanding of books, so they use this method to opportunistically.

Orthodox officials hate this kind of article, because if they win the Juren by relying on this kind of opportunism, others will imitate it, which is unfair to those who study hard and do their homework seriously.

The exam is to be fair. If the exam is not fair, what future is there in this world?It's better to take shortcuts.

However, Master Di Bi didn’t think so. He thought Zhang Wei’s article was very constructive and forward-looking.

In fact, Zhang Wei's articles are also well-written. His unconventionalism is only in the idea, not in the article.

The old official looked at the great master's insistence, and he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, but he still insisted: "We can't give the first name, so what should we do if everyone learns from it?"

Di Bi, on the other hand, used his authority as a grand master, ignored the old official's words, and directly circled Zhang Wei's name, saying: "This time I really want to name him as the first name. Who agrees? Who opposes!"

The magistrate Tang Zhiling also came out to smooth things over at this time and said, "Why don't you give me the third! How about the third?"

When Di Bi heard this, he glared at him angrily, this guy didn't stand in line with him!This is and slime.

Tang Zhifu also had troubles and couldn't tell. This Di Bi was the great master in charge of Qiu Wei. After the exam, he patted his ass and left, but he still wanted to stay as an official. This old official was a representative of the local gentry. It's not easy to offend.

The two sides came to a stalemate. At this time, the old official said with a cold face: "Since the great master must insist on going his own way, please invite Tianzhang!"

The so-called invitation to Tianzhang means to pass the article up and let the Confucian officials in the capital comment on it.

This old official doesn't believe it anymore, the senior officials in the court will name this article as the first name!This grand master of the Di family must be ashamed.

Di Bi was also angry. He, a great master, was in charge of this exam, yet someone opposed him in terms of ranking.He also said in a deep voice: "Then invite Tianzhang!"

Both sides were stunned, and Tang Zhifu had no choice but to say: "Then prepare to invite Tianzhang."

Please Tianzhang is of course not sending the article to the capital in a hurry, which is too slow.In this world, there are faster ways.

Tang Zhifu asked people to set up an altar, and then burned incense to pray to the gods.

At this time, several gods in the sky also looked down and smiled: "I really invited Tianzhang! Haha!"

One of the gods is Feng Yunzhen.He smiled and said, "My younger generation is definitely an extraordinary generation."

Several other gods laughed and said, "You can be proud!"

After Zhang Wei took the exam, Feng Yunzhen also paid a little attention, so he specially asked for an errand to supervise the exam room.One of the gods around him is an official of Emperor Wenchang.

The subordinate officer smiled and said, "It's time for me to answer the call." After speaking, he swung his sleeves and fell into the clouds.

Emperor Wenchang mastered the movement of literati and culture. Although he is respected as an emperor, the sense of existence of this god is not strong, and his divine power is not strong.Because the scholars themselves believe that their literary fortune comes from their own articles.This is a rather embarrassing god.

The officials of Emperor Wenchang went down and turned into a god-man and asked, "Who invites Tianzhang?"

Tang Zhifu told the story, and the man of God nodded and said, "Bring the article, and I will pass it on to the Confucian Temple in Beijing."

This god-man is just running errands, he has no decision-making power, and the decision-making power is in the hands of the officials in the capital.

In an instant, this article spread to the capital.At this time, the capital is also in autumn time.All the high officials sat in the Confucian Temple drinking tea and enjoying the rare leisure time.

At this time, a small official came to the room and bowed and said: "As an adult, someone has asked for a seal, and I ask the adults to make a decision."

Cao Bin, the elder of the imperial court and concurrently the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, heard it with a smile and said, "I thought it was another year of nothing to do. I don't want to invite Tianzhang this year. Everyone, let's go see it together." Let's see."

Generally speaking, every autumn, the Confucian Temple will have a pavilion elder to take the lead, and several ministers of the third rank and above will sit in charge.Just to solve the matter of asking Tianzhang.

However, such things as inviting Tianzhang rarely happen, and most of these elected officials came here to steal half a day's leisure.

But drinking too much tea is also boring. If there is really a matter of inviting Tianzhang, these bosses are still very happy.

A few of them were polite, and then went to the Wenhua Palace with Mr. Cao Ge.Among them is Di Li, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

A few people came to the Wenhua Hall, and an article was suspended on the hall, and the text was enlarged for all adults to read.

Several ministers looked at it, and their smiling faces changed.Some people showed displeasure on their faces, while others had bright eyes.

Cao Ge said calmly: "Should I take this article?"

There were a total of seven big bosses present, and the other six thought about it for a while. The left servant Di Li first said: "Take it."

After his words fell, an official beside him immediately said, "Take it."

When Mr. Cao Ge heard his words, he was not surprised at all and said: "Di Shilang is worthy of being a reformer, but his determination to forge ahead has not changed."

On the other side, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple sneered and said, "It's not appropriate to take weird ideas."

After he finished speaking, the other servant of the Criminal Department also smiled and said, "It's not appropriate."

In the end, the two officials looked at each other and said with a smile: "It's okay to take it, or it's okay not to take it." This is an abstention.

Ever since, everyone's eyes were on Mr. Cao Ge, and the key vote was on him.

Cao Ge thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "The imperial court selects people based on talents. This article is well-balanced and there is nothing wrong with it. Although the idea is weird, it is unreasonable. I think it is advisable."

His final word made the Shaoqing of Dali Temple nod and said: "It's still the elder who is far-sighted."

Cao Ge nodded his head, and said to the man of God in the Wenhua Palace: "This article is advisable, please pass it on."

But the god-man said dumbfoundingly: "As an adult, this article is not asking whether it is acceptable or not. This article has already been decided."

Cao Ge was not happy when he heard it. He said: "Since we have already decided to take it, why should we ask for Tianzhang? Whose decision is this?"

The man of god continued: "The great master who took this article decided to nominate him as the first name on the list, but someone disagreed, so he decided to invite Tianzhang."

"No. [-] on the list? I'm afraid this article is inappropriate. The purpose of the article is to make Zhongzheng peaceful." Hearing this, the young minister of Dali Temple said.

When the other officials heard it, they also felt that it made sense.This article is desirable, but is it too child's play to take the top spot?

Cao Ge was very upset, he said lightly: "Where and who did this? Why is it so absurd."

In his opinion, there is certainly no problem with this article, but being No.1 is a bit too much.

The man of God said: "The author of this article is Zhang Wei, Eshan, Jinhuafu!"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the officials were taken aback, and then said in unison: "It's him?!"

Kamito nodded, and then said: "Please also list it as an adult's decision, can you be the first on the list?"

Elder Cao Ge and the officials looked at each other and nodded.

A month ago, there was news that a dragon had rioted in Gaotang County, killing tens of thousands of people.The news made Chaotang furious.However, the two evil dragons who made the rebellion were punished one by one, and the other by the law.The murderer died so quickly, it was difficult for the court to say anything.

But the person who slayed the dragon was placed in their hearts.

Eshan Zhang Wei.

Now I hear this name again, but it is an article with a new intention.But such an article was written by the young man who killed the dragon in a fit of rage, which is reasonable and reasonable.

..................................................................

"Eshan Zhang Wei?!" Some scholars were suddenly confused when they heard this name.But someone next to him immediately said, "Is that Eshan Zhang Wei who killed the dragon in a rage?"

Zhang Dahei laughed loudly, and said: "Exactly! It's the Eshan Zhang Wei who slashed the dragon in anger, and it's my son!"

"It turned out to be him. I only heard that he beheaded the evil dragon for tens of thousands of people in Gaotang, but I didn't expect him to write well."

"That's right! For such a noble and pure person, the writing must be good."

"It turned out to be him, so it makes sense."

The people around began to whisper, as if the name 'Eshan Zhangwei' came out, everyone took it for granted.

Even a student from Gaotang County said excitedly: "So it's the benefactor! Then it's all right."

For the people of Gaotang, he slew the dragon in a rage.This kind of heroic behavior is something that many scholars would never dare to think about in their lifetime.His behavior fully conforms to the idea of ​​a scholar who bravely upholds justice without fear of power, regardless of life and death.

Scholars all over the world should follow this generation as an example!
For such a person, it's no surprise that he is at the top of the list. He really deserves the top spot!
This group of young talents is just like those brainless fans. Everything the idols do is right!
At this time, no one cared about the scholar who was beaten. The scholar who was beaten had forgotten the pain and showed a look of admiration on his face.

At this time, the street runners who were a little smart came to their senses, and they ran away without saying a word.After running like this, the other street runners immediately reacted and started to run too.

And Wang Kuaijiao is the one who runs the fastest.This street runner has no strengths, he just runs fast.He has decided on the reward this time!
The Zhang family is also well-known in Jinhua City, not only because of the famous son, but also because the Zhang family is very rich in selling pills.

Wang Kuaijiao ran quickly, crossed several streets, and took shortcuts through several alleys.Then I saw the red gate of the Zhang family.

Immediately, he yelled at the top of his throat: "Congratulations to Zhang Juren, congratulations to Zhang Juren! Mr. Zhang's high school juren, the first place in the list!"

At this time, the servants who were sweeping at the door were a little absent-minded, but when they heard this, they immediately shook the broom, grabbed Wang Kuaijiao and asked, "Is it true?"

Wang Kuaijiao immediately said: "This thing can't be faked! It can't be faked!"

The Ding family was overjoyed, and at this time, loud shouts began to come from all directions: "Congratulations to Zhang Juren, congratulations to Zhang Juren! Mr. Zhang's high school candidates, the first place in the list!"

But other announcers came.

Now everyone in the Zhang family believed it!With so many people, it can't be fake.

The concierge old Zhang was so excited that his legs were trembling at this time, he was even more excited than when he married his wife back then!He roared: "Go and tell the master, go and tell the young master!"

As soon as the other servants heard this, they rushed in through the small door.

At this time, Wang Kuaijiao rubbed his hands and waited for the reward.

However, ordinary people don't rush out after hearing the good news, only Zhang Wei walked out of the room slowly.

He didn't want to come out at first, but according to the regulations, he had to go out to receive congratulations from the neighbors in the neighborhood, so he couldn't do without going out.

At this time, the housekeeper, Lao Zhang, brought Father Zhang and several servants.Father Zhang looked excited at this moment.He had no doubt that his son failed the Juren examination, but he did not expect to be the first in the list.

At this time, the old father is full of pride in his heart, this is his own seed!He patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder, everything was silent.

Not long after, the door of the Zhang family opened.Newcomer Zhang Jieyuan and his father came out.

At this time, a large number of neighbors had gathered at the door, and they cheered when they saw Zhang Wei coming out.

At this moment, Zhang Wei felt as if he had traveled through a former star.He cupped his hands at Sifang, and said: "I was lucky enough to be selected, and I have the pity of the great master, and I will give you the position of Xie Yuan. Zhang Wei is terrified! Thank you for your support and support, Zhang Wei thank you!"

After speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone.

The people under the door are more enthusiastic.They all praised Zhang Jieyuan for being neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is a model scholar!
At this time, Butler Zhang couldn't hold back anymore.The two servants behind him took a step forward and lifted the red cloth beside them.

Two baskets of copper coins appeared in front of everyone.

Steward Zhang smiled and shouted: "Master Zhang's family has been promoted to Xie Yuan, congratulate and share with you!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed a large handful of copper coins and sprinkled them over.This is happy money, or Xie Yuan's happy money, and everyone is robbing it.

Wang Kuaijiao also took the money from Zhang Wei, grinning until the back of his head.This solution is really generous!It's a thousand cash!
Father Zhang looked at all this with satisfaction, and said to the butler beside him, "Starting today, we will set up running water mats here to make the neighbors lively. The running water mats will be set up for seven days, and the theater troupe will also be invited over. Don't be stingy!"

Butler Zhang said with a smile: "How can you be stingy! I understand, master, I will handle things well!"

　As I write this, I haven't figured out how to make Zhang Wei's article.Everyone give me a suggestion, it can be in line with the general background, or something unexpected.I choose one!
　　This choice will determine Zhang Wei's future governing style.
