Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1658 Results
Above the court, the news that Ma Zhou, Cen Wenwen, and Kong Yingda are expected to become the chief examiners has already spread in Chang'an City.

After the news spread, the inns where the scholars stayed became much more lively.

Huangbang Inn is one of the most famous inns in Chang'an City, because the name is more auspicious, and in his inn, there are indeed a few Jinshi who have lived in their inn, even the second place and Tanhua. So every time the imperial examinations are held, their inn is full of people.

Because everyone wants to get a good start.

And because there are the most scholars in the imperial examinations, this place often becomes a gathering place for some scholars to discuss knowledge and current affairs. The degree of excitement is by no means comparable to that of others.

The Huangbang Inn naturally had the most discussions about the chief examiner.

"If you want me to say, the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination is none other than Kong Jijiu. After Kong Jijiu is a sage, his talent and knowledge are comparable to that of the entire Tang Dynasty. If Young Master Tian does not participate in the competition, then it must be Kong Jijiu, if we want to get a good ranking, we might as well go to Kong Jijiu and submit the paper to him."

After a white-clothed scholar said this, he drank a pot of wine lightly. The white-clothed scholar's name was Chen Baiyi. He liked to wear white clothes the most in his life. .

Yin Yin is the leader of this group of scholars.

After he finished speaking, there were bound to be some people in the group who followed suit.

"That's right, that's right. Kong Jijiu's strength is definitely not comparable to other people's. Since Young Master Qin won't fight, it must be Kong Jijiu."

"I think so. In the entire Tang Dynasty, as long as Kong Jijiu wants to be the chief examiner, who can compete?"

"That's right, that's right, let's go to Kong Jijiu as soon as possible to invest in bank rolls."

"........."

For Kong Yingda, everyone was more supportive, but at this time, there were also people who sang against it.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Cen Wenwen is the one who is more likely to become the chief examiner. There are quite a few people in the court who support him."

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Cen Wenwen is very knowledgeable and has made great achievements in politics. We candidates sometimes don't just rely on knowledge, but also have some political discussions. On this, Kong Jijiu and Cen Master Text is far worse than Ke."

"Extremely, extremely, I also think Mr. Cen Wenwen's chances are higher."

"Bah, I really think it's Kong Jijiu."

"........."

Some people supported Kong Yingda, and some people supported Cen Wenwen. Soon, the two parties began to quarrel irresistibly. You talked to each other sentence by sentence, as if if they couldn't convince each other, it was because they were incapable.

There aren't many people drinking wine anymore, and what they say is a bit verbal.

But at this time, at a relatively calm table next to them, several men seemed a little calm. None of them participated in the quarrel at all, and some of them even showed disdain.

One of them, who was faintly the leader of these people, even smiled slightly while drinking.

After the quarreling people noticed this situation, they quickly quieted down.

After the crowd stopped, they turned their attention to the drinker.

"Di Xiaoxu, you are quite comfortable drinking, Kong Jijiu and Mr. Cen Wenwen, who do you think is more likely to become the chief examiner?"

Chen Baiyi looked at Di Xiaoxu and asked, the two of them usually did not get along, Chen Baiyi looked down on Di Xiaoxu, Di Xiaoxu also looked down on Chen Baiyi.

But in the past, when it came to arguing, Chen Baiyi lost more often, and Di Xiaoxu won more often.

This made Chen Baiyi dislike Di Xiaoxu even more.

He is here, and many of those scholars and scholars like to cling to him, only Di Xiaoxu and a few of his fellow countrymen are the most dismissive of him, forming a small group indistinctly.

After Chen Baiyi asked, Di Xiaoxu was not in a hurry, and after Qianqian finished the glass of wine, he shook his head with a smile: "Both of them, I don't think it's possible."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"If it's even impossible to sacrifice wine to Kong, it would be really strange."

"That's right, it's impossible for Mr. Cen Wenwen, I think you must have lost your mind."

"Then tell me, who can be the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination?"

Everyone cast their eyes over, wanting to see who Di Xiaoxu liked, but Di Xiaoxu smiled slightly and said, "Whoever I give the travel scroll to, I just like whom."

"Who did you give it to?" Chen Baiyi asked, and Di Xiaoxu was a little helpless, thinking that these people are so stupid, it would be tiring to lie to them.

"Master Ma Zhou, this year's chief examiner must be him."

After saying this, those people in Huangbang Inn couldn't help laughing immediately.

'Haha, what, you said you support Ma Zhou, or that he will definitely become the chief examiner, are you kidding us? '

"That's right, that's right, what can Ma Zhou compare with Kong Jijiu and Lord Cen Wenwen? He's inferior in every aspect."

"That's right, that's right, Di Xiaoxu, you must have lost."

Di Xiaoxu shrugged, feeling that if he continued to talk to these people, he would become stupid and stupid, so he just smiled softly and didn't take their words seriously.

When the others saw Di Xiaoxu, they only felt that Di Xiaoxu was pretending, but Chen Baiyi couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Di Xiaoxu, do you dare to bet with me, if you win, all your consumption in the inn will , I helped you out, but if I win, you have to give me my consumption, how about it?"

They have lived in the inn for a long time, and there is still more than a month before the imperial examination. The consumption of this time is not a small amount for them.

However, facing Chen Baiyi's provocation, Di Xiaoxu agreed indifferently. To him, this was nothing at all.

After they agreed in this way, they just waited for the final result.

'In the entire Huangbang Inn, most people thought that Chen Baiyi would win, compared to Di Xiaoxu, who had no chance of winning at all.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Chen will definitely win this time."

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Chen must have won. That Di Xiaoxu is about to bleed a lot this time."

"I think so. When it comes to this, I also think Mr. Chen has a better chance of winning. That Ma Zhou doesn't seem to be very powerful."

"That's right, it's ridiculous, interesting, and interesting for Di Xiaoxu to vote for him."

"........."

Inside Chang'an City, it was extremely lively. The heavy snow fell overnight and stopped the next day, and then the weather cleared up. Early in the morning, the sun could be seen rising high.
