Jinyi champion

Chapter 320 It is said that this is an exam essay?

The state government and the state Confucianism Administration had been prepared for this time, and after the announcement of the results, they dispelled the grievances of the scholars to prevent scholars from causing trouble.

Even those who have passed the government test say that Zhu Hao's talent and learning are far superior to their own. Even if those who have not passed the government test make trouble, it is not justified. After all, those who passed the government test this time are basically ordinary people. It is generally accepted that the knowledge is relatively good, and it is not said that some people with bad rumors pass the test...

As such...

A crime really becomes a crime, and watching the announcement is just for the sake of watching the announcement. It is rare for Gong Yuan to be as pure as it is today.

Before Tang Yin and Wang Shouren arrived at the Confucian Temple, most of the people who saw the results had already left. Most of them naturally failed the exam and returned to their hometown in despair. Next, they should improve their knowledge and fight again in the next government exam.

As for those who pass the exam, they have to go back to prepare for the exam. After all, the government exam is only a transitional exam. The purpose of scholars these days is to gain fame, and the key battle lies in the college exam.

Compared with the county examination and government examination, the college examination is more formal, and the chief examiner is the deputy envoy of the province, so the level of questioning and marking is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary quizzes.

Tang Yin took Wang Shouren to the place. Looking around, there were not many people left.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that Zhu Hao didn't pass the government test this time?Or pass the grades?That's why these scholars didn't make a fuss...

If Zhu Hao ranks high, these scholars must be going against the gods.

In the past, it was only scholars from Changshou County who were making trouble, but now candidates from Jingshan County are added to the government examination, the battle must be serious.Scholars making trouble these days is a very troublesome thing for the government. If there is a crying temple or something, it will become a big problem in minutes.

Tang Yin thought, this can only be understood as Kuang Yangming intentionally dragged down Zhu Hao's ranking in order to quell public anger, otherwise Zhu Hao's talent and learning should not have much problem crushing the local scholars who participated in the government examination. If you are not good, you can get in the top three in the exam.

"The atmosphere of the local scholars is very simple."

Wang Shouren saw that the ranking scene was orderly, and no one gathered together to criticize the unfairness of the exam, and he was immediately moved.

It should be said that Wang Shouren also came all the way from the imperial examinations. Based on his understanding of the previous imperial examinations, scholars are all thorns, but the court of the Ming Dynasty treated them with extra courtesy, especially after the Hongzhi Dynasty. He was born as a great Confucianist, and the court's protection of scholars has reached the pinnacle.

As soon as the scholar's status is high, he likes to make trouble.

Once the results of the local imperial examinations are released, there will always be those ignorant people who jump out to make troubles, feel that they are underappreciated, and insist on re-marking the papers or jointly petitioning for re-examination, etc...the list goes on and on.

As for the scholars in Anlu, when they saw that they had failed the exam when the rankings were announced, they didn't even feel emotional at all?

That's why Wang Shouren said that the local scholars have a simple and honest atmosphere.

Tang Yin smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps the result is more convincing this time."

He wanted to say, you haven't seen the hustle and bustle of the first county examination a month ago when the results were released, and this time this group of people suddenly changed their sex for some reason?Or has already gone to make trouble, but the location is not the Confucian Temple, but the state government?

"It's a pity. I hope I can pass the exam next time, otherwise I will have no hope for the rest of my life."

There happened to be scholars passing by, and one of them was a Confucian scholar in his thirties who hadn't even passed the government examination. He looked depressed and kept expressing his emotions.

Tang Yin pointed to the direction of the bulletin board, and Lu Song who was accompanying him understood, and hurried to check the situation, and stopped after walking a few steps, because he happened to see Yuan Rulin coming this way accompanied by a servant of the Yuan family At this moment, Yuan Rulin was beaming with joy, obviously having passed the government examination.

"Ru Lin?"

Tang Yin called out, attracting Yuan Rulin's attention.

"Hello sir."

Yuan Rulin hurried over to salute Tang Yin.

Tang Yin introduced with a smile: "Bo'an, this is the eldest grandson of Yuan Changshi. This time, I will refer to it with Zhu Hao. Ru Lin, meet Mr. Wang soon."

Yuan Rulin quickly saluted Wang Shouren again.

Tang Yin asked: "Ru Lin, how did you do in the exam? What about Zhu Hao?"

"I passed the government examination, ranking thirty-eighth, and Zhu Hao is the top case." Yuan Rulin answered very directly.

"This……"

Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Hao is actually the case again?

This result was not what he expected, but the reaction of the scholars present caught him off guard. Zhu Hao won the first place in the government examination, and this group of guys with high eyesight didn't make a fuss?
Or is it that Zhu Haozhong County's trial case leader got the only one recommended for promotion, so the scholars would make a fuss, and the prefectural trial case chief is just an honor, without any extra convenience, scholars don't bother to make trouble?

Yuan Rulin explained: "When the list was published, the state government specially posted Zhu Hao's articles on the bulletin board for the candidates to taste. Almost all the candidates were convinced of Zhu Hao's literary talent and left disgruntled after reading it. Sir, student I'm going home first, I have to inform my family of the good news as soon as possible."

"Go ahead."

Tang Yin sent Yuan Rulin away. Originally, he didn't want to go to the list in person, he just asked someone to see the results. Anyway, he only cared about the results of Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin at most, and he didn't care about other people's rankings at all. Tang Yin suddenly felt that it was necessary to go up and see for himself.

But there were guests beside him, after all, they were accompanying Wang Shouren. He is a majestic governor of southern Gansu, would he go to see such a low-level matter as the announcement?

"Brother Bohu, why don't we go up and take a look together?"

Wang Shouren took the initiative to extend the invitation.

"Right on my mind."

Tang Yin smiled and nodded.

Now Wang Shouren stepped forward in person, because there were officials in front of him opening the way, making the road unimpeded. When he reached the bulletin board, the surrounding scholars consciously avoided it.

as predicted.

Zhu Hao's name is listed at the top of the desk, next to it is an eight-part essay, which is the first of the four-book essays in Zhu Hao's government examination.

"It's really a gentleman far away from the kitchen, this kid...hehe." Tang Yin muttered to himself, squinting his eyes and looking at Zhu Hao's article, with a smile on his face.

Wang Shouren said: "The local style of study is very special, how can you actually list the articles at the head of the desk like this?"

Tang Yin didn't answer, and Lu Song explained, "Wang Zhongcheng, that's how it is. The person in charge of the examination in the central government is the young master of the Zhu family. He is only nine years old. The person in charge of the case in the county examination has already been slandered by scholars in the county. This time, it was probably done to silence everyone."

Wang Shouren smiled and said nothing.

Then Wang Shouren roughly glanced at Zhu Hao's article, and nodded again: "Bohu, this article is full of words, rambling and unrestrained, and the words are full of lies. It is not comparable to the articles written by ordinary Confucian scholars... It seems that you have taught a good student. "

Tang Yin hurriedly said: "No, no, I didn't teach him these things, he learned them all by himself."

Wang Shouren was very strange. Generally, for a child as smart as Zhu Hao, everyone would rush to be his teacher to show his high teaching level. However, Zhu Hao was studying in the palace, and Tang Yin was teaching. Zhu Hao still called him Mr. Why is Tang Yin so eager to get rid of the relationship?

"The article is full of passion and perfectly fits Kuang Zhizhou's state of mind. Then his experience in writing articles should be taught by you?" Wang Shouren continued to ask.

You say that Zhu Hao's knowledge is not taught by you, but is self-taught, which makes sense.

Can write articles to cater to the state of mind of the examiner, write the article that the examiner wants to see, it will not be understood by a child, right?There is always something for you to mention!
If you hadn't reminded Zhu Hao of this before the exam, otherwise he, a nine-year-old child, would be able to understand Kuang Yangming's current state of mind?
Tang Yin was laughing at first, but when he heard this, his expression was a little ugly, and he got angry when he mentioned this.

Let me teach it, it’s good that he didn’t teach me.

"Bo'an, you don't know Zhu Hao very well. He has the ability to detect people in a subtle way. Let alone ordinary children, sometimes even I... feel ashamed. I didn't mention him before the exam, just Saying that the suppression of the bandits was successful this time, I still need to rely more on him for advice.”

Tang Yin would never steal merit in front of people in the palace, never concealed Zhu Hao's ability, and would not deliberately elevate himself in front of Wang Shouren, an outsider.

Yes, yes, no, no, free and easy.

Wang Shouren frowned slightly.

He didn't have the nerve to ask before, Zhu Hao didn't write this article for him, did you?

A child can write such a well-balanced and mature article, no matter how you look at it, there are tricks in it, but you have made such great contributions to the local officials and gentry people. You meet with Zhizhou Kuang Yangming every day, ask a question for the students, and write another He asked him to copy an article in the examination room after he recited it silently. As long as the matter was not serious, no one would hold it accountable.

But after hearing what Tang Yin said, Wang Shouren felt that it was not a joke.

Tang Yin was like this, he said what he said, was frank and straightforward, it was obviously unrealistic to ruin his reputation for the sake of a student's future.

It is said that Tang Yin's future was ruined because of a non-existent inscription case. It is reasonable to say that he is very repulsive to inscriptions.

Wang Shouren couldn't help thinking about it, could it be that that kid Zhu Hao really has such a talent and insight that even Tang Yin can praise him?Are you even ashamed to be a gentleman?

Thinking of the meeting with Tang Yin on the first day in Anlu, this old friend was forced by him to the point where his expression was cramped and he almost went crazy, and after meeting Zhu Hao, he could deal with it freely under Zhu Hao's advice...

I didn't think about it carefully before, but now it seems that it is really the case.

"If it's as Bohu you said, then his future achievements will be limitless."

Wang Shouren re-examined Zhu Hao's article.

From Zhu Hao's article, he can see his ambition is higher than the sky, and he also has an indescribable feeling...

Zhu Hao's writing is full of Neo-Confucian style, but it seems that he only caters to the state of mind of the examiner. After careful consideration, Wang Shouren can find a shadow of Xinxue in it. Concerned about the internal connection between things, the pursuit of spiritual breakthroughs...

Originally, Wang Shouren just came here with Tang Yin for a casual walk, making a routine.

Who knew that after reading Zhu Hao's article twice, he wanted to read it a third time?
He was surprised in his heart: "This is just an essay for the government examination, and it was written by a nine-year-old child? The words are not many, and the reasoning is not very profound. Why am I so inspired after reading it, and I want to think more about it." How many times have you read it carefully?"

Experts will know if there is any.

Zhu Hao's article was naturally highly valued when he met the knowledgeable Wang Shouren.
