Chapter 161 Grandfather Arrives
Chapter 161 Grandfather Arrives
"Zi Qian, what do you think of this county examination?" Yang Tao changed the subject.
His brother-in-law is a relatively sensitive topic and it is not suitable to talk about it. Li An just understands what he means.
"I wonder what Brother Zilian is referring to?" Li An asked after pondering for a while.
"Haha, brother Ziqian, don't you think that if you win the case, I will think like the common people outside that you cheated? Zicheng has also mentioned you in our correspondence with me over the years. It's you who can win the case. My ability. Although I want to be the head of the case, I want to win it through my own ability." Yang Tao said.
Li An said: "Brother Zilian misunderstood. You asked me what I think of this county examination. I don't know what aspect you are referring to."
Yang Tao did not worry about whether what Li An said was true or false. Hearing this, he said, "Then let's talk about how things will develop next."
Li An pondered for a while and said: "Now that things are going like this, no matter what, the imperial court will send someone to deal with the matter. There are only two results, one is to re-mark the papers, and the other is to hold the county examination again."
Yang Tao nodded and asked, "Which one does Zi Qian think is more likely?"
"Actually, in terms of possibilities alone, the former is definitely bigger, but in the final analysis, it depends on the person." Li An said.
Yang Tao had a smile in his eyes and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Before I say anything, I want to ask Brother Zilian, which one do you think is more likely?" Li An asked.
Yang Tao smiled slightly and said, "I think the former too."
"Haha, since the heroes see the same thing, it goes without saying the reason." Li An said with a smile.
In fact, the two of them felt that the former was more likely because it could save the government's face.
If this kind of thing becomes a big deal and has wide implications, it would be best to strictly investigate it internally and downplay it externally.
However, this kind of issue is relatively sensitive and not suitable for in-depth discussion.
Li An thought about it and said, "Actually, in my opinion, this matter ultimately depends on the official's attitude. And the official's attitude can be seen from who is sent."
Yang Tao thought carefully for a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "Zi Qian is a great talent, but I am not as good as him."
If the officials wanted to keep it under wraps, they would naturally send someone with a smooth personality to take charge of the matter.
If you don't want to cover it up, you will put an upright person in charge.
After all, it is difficult for the officials to personally explain this kind of thing. The attitude of the officials will be determined by the character of the person they send.
"Haha, I just said it casually, I can't take it seriously." Li An waved his hand.
"Zi Qian doesn't need to be modest. Although I'm presumptuous, I still want to ask, what do you think the official's attitude is towards this matter?" Yang Tao asked.
Li An smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zi Lian really thinks too highly of me."
To be honest, he couldn't guess what the official's attitude would be.
However, he felt that the official family was already exhausted mentally and physically due to the death of his son and the dispute over the heir apparent, and they might not have time to take care of such a trivial matter.
Seeing that Li An was unwilling to talk, Yang Tao did not continue to ask, and started chatting with Li An.
The two talked about some policies of past dynasties from the Four Books and Five Classics.
From the court to the people.
Yang Tao was greatly inspired by Ang Lee's photographic memory, coupled with his experience in two lifetimes and his understanding of some events in history.
We continued chatting until almost noon when Mrs. Liu came to inform us that it was time for dinner. Yang Tao ignored Mrs. Liu's pleas to stay and left.
He came to visit this time without preparing anything, so naturally he couldn't stay for dinner.
Li An felt that Yang Tao was a very interesting person. Some of the views he raised were a bit shocking in this era. However, Yang Tao did not object immediately after hearing it. Instead, after savoring it carefully, he expressed some of his own opinions.
Li An couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult for someone like Yang Tao to pass the exam. In addition, he and Sheng Changbai were friends, so why didn't he appear in the original work?
Thinking about it later, Li An felt that it was because his grandfather wanted his junior Sanyuan to get the highest rank.
I mentioned earlier how difficult it is to take the primary and secondary school entrance examination. This thing really has little to do with talent and learning. In the final analysis, it all depends on luck.
In the county and township examinations, the examiners have different personalities and temperaments each time. No matter how good the article is, it is useless if it does not meet the examiner's taste, or if someone is more interested in the examiner's taste.
Because of his grandfather, Yang Tao cared too much about Xiao Sanyuan, and it was possible that it would affect his future.
But it was hard for him to say anything about such a thing.
In the original play, when Gu Tingye followed Zhao Zongquan to suppress the rebellion, he once asked the officials.
Officials said he had always regretted punishing Yang so harshly for no reason.
It is precisely because of regret that I don’t want to hear people mention it.
It can be said that Gu Tingye was dismissed, although there was a reason why he complained about Yang Wuduan, and it was also because this incident made him hear the name Yang Wuduan again.
If Yang Tao takes the imperial examination normally, who knows if people around the officials will mention that Yang Tao is Yang Wudu's nephew in front of the officials because of trying to figure out the officials' thoughts.
In the eyes of officials, Yang Wutuan is a taboo, and Yang Tao may still be removed.
……
"A Niu, come to the front hall quickly, your grandfather and the others are here." Mrs. Liu shouted.
Hearing this, Li An quickly put down his book, walked out of the room, and asked, "Mom, why are grandfather and the others here suddenly?"
"Someone from the village came to the city and heard that you were the head of the case. He went back and told your grandfather. Your grandfather didn't know if it was you, so he came to the city to ask. Your grandmother and your uncle's family all came." Liu Shi said.
Li An followed Mr. Liu to the front hall and asked as he walked: "Is grandpa okay?"
Now because of the commotion over cheating, those who have won the honor don't know if they can keep it.
Li An was not worried about this, but Liu and Li Nan were both very angry about it.
My grandfather is so old, and I don’t know if he can bear it anymore.
"Your grandfather is okay, he's more open-minded than us." Mrs. Liu recounted what happened after her father-in-law arrived.
Li Mu knew that Li An was going to take the imperial examination this year, and he and Ding went to the Taoist temple to offer incense a few days ago.
He had been counting the days these past few days, but it turned out that it had been so long since the county exam and there was still no news. He thought Li An had failed the exam and Li Nan and the others were embarrassed to go back and tell them.
Although I was disappointed, I didn't blame Li An.
As a result, a villager from Lijia Village came to the city this morning to have something to do, and heard someone say that the person responsible for the crime was Li An.
He thought there was Li An in their village, so he went to Uncle Li An's house to inquire.
After Li Mu learned about it, his first reaction was the person with the same name. After all, if Li An really made the list, it was impossible for Li Nan not to go back and notify him.
But I was thinking about what might happen.
I thought about coming to the city to ask.
The uncle's family was also very curious about this matter, so they all followed.
When I arrived at Li's house, I learned from Li Nan that Li An had indeed won the exam and was the first in the case. However, because there might be fraud in the county exam, it could not be confirmed for the time being, so he did not go back to report it.
After hearing this, Li Dong's family felt a pity for a while. On the contrary, Li Mu, who had been looking forward to Li An's success, said very openly: "It's okay. Since A Niu can win once, he can win again. Even if he is not the head of the case, it doesn't matter."
After hearing this, Li An smiled and said: "Mom, you see that my grandfather understands better than you and your father. You are the only ones who worry about it every day."
Although his parents didn't say anything these days, Li An could sense that they were worried about gains and losses.
However, I tried to comfort him several times, but it was of no use at all.
"You brat, are you wrong that your father and I are worried about you?" Mrs. Liu glared.
"That's right, that's right." Li An said quickly: "Mom, let's go quickly, don't keep grandpa waiting too long."
