Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 52 The government examination is approaching and the candidates are all numb!

Chapter 52 The government exam is approaching and the candidates are all numb!

For the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the last county examination paper made a big fuss because of Hu Weiyong's random "circle question", which kept them awake at night and tossing and turning.

If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't summoned Hu Weiyong later and instead of blaming Hu Weiyong, he had rewarded a few beauties and let the officials of the Ministry of Rites know that nothing had gone wrong on his part, they would still be living in fear right now.

At that time, they were watching with worry almost every day, worried that those angry students would make some noise.

Because in their opinion, once something happens, all of them will probably be sent to the frontier at least, and if not, they will be killed.

Even though some time has passed since the incident, they can still remember it freshly when they think of the days when their hearts were always hanging on.

Now, the turmoil of this county examination is over, this government examination...are you still coming?

Moreover, looking at this confusingly abstract title, it is clear that it is still the same recipe and the same taste.

However, the leader Zhang had the courage to ask softly: "Mr. Hu, are you making things difficult for those students?"

Hu Weiyong raised his eyebrows and waved his hand nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, I have my own considerations. This question is raised by me personally. If there are any problems, I will naturally be responsible for it."

"Although you are in a civilized position such as the Ministry of Rites, and you also have the important responsibility of recruiting scholars for the country, it is okay to be careful, but you cannot restrain your hands."

"Your Majesty only cares about two things. One is whether the examination is fair and whether there is any fraud, and the other is whether it can recruit talents for the country."

"As long as you do these two things, you can do the rest!"

Hu Weiyong's words can be described as "great and upright" to the extreme.

But unfortunately, you can't say there's anything wrong with what he said.

After all, Mr. Hu really got a reward from His Majesty after making such a fuss in the previous county examination.

Although His Majesty's reward was replaced by a beautiful woman at his own request.

But let me ask you whether there is a reward or not!
Therefore, even though the officials were trembling with fear and trembling when they looked at the "divine question" that was still inked on the test paper, they no longer dared to say anything. After smiling bitterly, they cupped their hands towards Hu Weiyong and obeyed his orders obediently. .

At this point, the government examination papers, which had been revised again by Hu Weiyong, were once again spread throughout the Ming Dynasty under the intensive preparations of the Ministry of Rites.

As the time for the government examination gradually approached, the Ming Dynasty students became more and more nervous.

The "abnormality" of the county examination is still fresh in our minds, and with the government examination just around the corner, who dares to bet whether Mr. Hu will do it again?

What's more, even if Mr. Hu didn't take action, the government examination would definitely be more difficult than the county examination.

Otherwise, how can we screen out talents?

To put it bluntly, each subsequent level will be more difficult than the previous one, in order to eliminate a group of people who cannot keep up.

However, in the previous scientific examinations, large numbers of candidates were eliminated during the provincial examination and the general examination.

This time, a large number of people passed the county examination, and another problem is about to happen in the government examination. Who can not be nervous about this subject?
Therefore, all the students are really arrogant.

Of course, there are those who take the right path, and there are also those who take the narrow path.

No, in order to be named on the gold medal list, both Xie Jin and Fang Xiaoru were driven to Qixia Temple again by their elders to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Seeing that the little brother who had just met a few days ago unexpectedly met again in Qixia Temple by chance, the two also looked at each other and smiled.

After bowing devoutly a few times and throwing down a wad of sesame oil money without hesitation, the two walked out of the hall one after the other.

"Sir, brother, I never expected that I would meet you today. Didn't you say that your family doesn't care whether you can pass the exam?"

Xie Jin is also familiar with Brother Fang's temperament. A single sentence of dullness and rigidness is no longer enough to describe him.But he doesn't have any bad intentions, he just can't speak.

Therefore, he was not angry, but said calmly:

"Yes! My family doesn't care whether I can become a scholar in high school, but if I can't even get the title of scholar, let alone myself, my family will feel embarrassed!"

"Even all this time, I never realized how powerful the scholar's reputation is!"

You have to talk to whomever you want, and Xie Jin doesn't hide his arrogance in front of people like Fang Xiaoru.

As a famous child prodigy in Jiangxi, he does have the strength to say such things.

When Fang Xiaoru heard this, he nodded in agreement: "That's right! Brother Wei and his family think so too!"

"During the examination, it depends on your luck. If you can catch the examiner's eye, you can go to high school. But if you don't, it's normal for you to lose your reputation."

"But this boy's exam only tests the basics of the Four Books and Five Classics. If he fails in these, even Fang himself will have to find a tree to hang himself!"

Neither of them said why they came to burn incense and worship Buddha.

After all, who doesn’t have worried parents at home?

There is a saying that "it doesn't hurt to go" and "it doesn't hurt to go"...

Both of them are highly intelligent people, so matters involving the elders in the family are naturally taboo for the venerable.

However, despite what he said, Xie Jin had some slightly different ideas about Fang Xiaoru's views.

"Brother Fang, if things are like last year, there won't be any problem with your words."

"But Jinke, have you forgotten Mr. Hu's question in the county examination?"

"Who can guarantee that Mr. Hu will not do it again during the government examination?"

"To be honest, little brother, I don't care about the other questions. I am only very curious about the questions Master Hu is going to ask."

"What about you? Are you really confident that you can answer Mr. Hu's test questions?"

Fang Xiaoru opened his mouth when he heard the words, but couldn't say a word.

They are all smart people, and they can tell the truth from lies with one ear.

Why say so much?

In the end, Fang Xiaoru answered honestly: "Being a brother is indeed not as sure as other exam questions."

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru's face turned red with excitement.

"Fang just doesn't understand. What on earth does Mr. Hu want to do?"

"Is it possible that it's fun to watch students scratching their heads and scratching their heads?"

"Or, he simply doesn't want me to wait until I pass the scholar's examination?"

"This is simply making fun of the country's talent show!"

"I don't know why the county examination caused such a commotion, but Your Majesty hasn't given him up as the examiner yet!"

Listening to Fang Xiaoru's nagging complaints, Xie Jin was delighted.

As the saying goes, happiness is always based on the pain of others.

Although they all suffered together, it's no wonder that Xie Jin was unhappy because Fang Xiaoru was jumping around and swearing!
