Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Following Yang Tinghe's voice, all the examiners were startled at the same time. As of today, this round of the township examination is officially over, only the last procedure is missing.

Although the final result has to be reported to the central government, it will be considered legally effective after a unified review.However, everyone knew that it was just a final cutscene.

When the seal was being unsealed under the supervision of the proctor, Yang Tinghe probably felt that the atmosphere in the courtroom was a bit dignified, or he was trying to ease the embarrassment of the deputy chief examiner named Daohua, and smiled lightly: "Qianli Thousands of miles have been experienced, and there is only one last thing left, a foot of water, jump over it, everyone is free!"

In this way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and knowing that Mr. Yang was trying to hide the unhappiness in his heart, he laughed cooperatively, and started discussing in a low voice.

"I don't know who will win this class of Jieyuan. Mr. Zhong, you should make a prediction first."

"There is really no way to predict this matter. Although many young talents have emerged in the various prefectures in recent years, they are not as good as the old celebrities who have been famous for a long time. According to the officials, only the dragon in the dragon Mingqing can be regarded as a character."

"Well, I've heard of this man, he is excellent in both poetry and poetry. Especially the music and lyrics are very well written, and he is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that he is the number one master after Tang Bohu, and many women in brothels have sung him. Proud of the work."

"I think Long Mingqing will definitely win the first place."

As for who Long Zai is and whether the poems are good or not, Yang Tinghe doesn't care.Everyone is talking about this person, as if he is destined to win, in fact, Yang Tinghe thinks that people still ignore Su Mu.The imperial examination examines moral essays and stereotyped essays, but has nothing to do with poetry.

After listening to Su Mu give lectures to the prince and seeing Su Mu's articles with his own eyes, Mr. Yang is still very impressed with Su Mu's talent and learning. If you take the test with real skills, the provincial test is really nothing.

However, this time he couldn't win.

Of course, Yang Tinghe could only keep this thought in his heart, and it was inconvenient to say it out loud.

At this time, the head name Jieyuan Juan was finally unsealed.

The invigilator coughed, and everyone fell silent. They stretched their necks and pricked up their ears, their faces full of excitement.

On the contrary, Yang Tinghe's face was calm. As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he was also sent by the central government to preside over the provincial examination.As for the college examination, I don't know how many times I have gone through it, and then I have cultivated a calm temperament.Besides, he was sure that Su Mu would not win Ju Ren, let alone Jie Yuan.

The unsealing official picked up the paper and was stunned, as if a little surprised: "The first place in this round of the township examination, Wan Quanhuai Anwei, Xu Bangcai."

"Hey, why isn't the dragon here?"

"I've heard of this Xu Bangcai. He's almost 70 years old. He's been taking the exam all his life, but he can't even pass the exam. Moreover, Wanquan is mostly a military household, a well-known remote and poor place, and his culture and education are also very backward. .”

"I said, as soon as he is old, even if he wins the Juren, he will not be able to be an official in the future. What else is there to take?"

"Hey, it's pitiful, but this time the old scholar won the first place, which can be regarded as a life-long comfort. To be honest, the lower officials are also happy for him."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, but Long Zai was so famous that it was surprising that he didn't win the first place.

"No.2, Fang Baoyu, Xingtang County, Zhending Prefecture." Mi Fengguan began to read No.2's name again.

Still no dragon.

"No.3, Hejian Mansion..."

Everyone's ears were pricked up. After all, Long Zai's name was there. Even without him in the top two, the No.3 could always be won.Hearing the word Hejian, everyone cheered up.

Mi Fengguan smiled: "No.3, Tang Youde of Hejian Mansion."

"Ah, Long Mingqing didn't make the top three..."

At the moment, everyone started talking in low voices.

But Yang Tinghe didn't stop him, as long as Su Mu didn't win, he didn't care who won and who didn't.The dragon is here, who is that?

However, he was still a little worried, for fear that he might accidentally take the sumu.

After all, there were a total of [-] candidates admitted in Beizhili this time. There were too many papers and their names were sealed.

Don't want to remote provinces, such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Gansu, the central government only allocates dozens of places.

Time passed little by little, and soon the names of more than 100 Chinese scholars were read, but there was still no name of Long Zai among them.

All the examiners fell silent, feeling incredible.With Long Zai's reputation so great, it was understandable that he couldn't get in the top three. After all, examiners had different tastes, so they might not all like his writing.Or, Long didn't perform well in this exam.

With his ability, he can always get into the top [-].

But in the situation before him, not only the top [-], the top [-], but even the top [-] without him, this seems strange.

But Yang Tinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief: There is no sumu, very good, it seems that this time he was really brushed off.

Mi Fengguan continued to read, and soon, he read the names of another fifty people.

Still no dragons.

Still no sumac.

Without Su Mu's name, Yang Tinghe's body and spirit were even more relaxed.

Without the dragon, the examiners began to stir.

Mi Fengguan still has the last fifty copies of the papers in his hand, only a thin stack.

It was probably because the courtroom was too noisy, so he had to raise his voice, "No. 150, Huang Ding, Daming Prefecture... No. 170, Lan Dongming, Hua County, Daming Prefecture... No. 190..."

Everyone was shocked: there are only ten people left, why is there no dragon around, what happened?

Yang Tinghe relaxed completely, and took up the teacup with a smile.He didn't think that Su Mu would be among the last ten people. As for Long Zai, he was a little bit concerned. I heard that this person is a talented person, so why didn't he get selected.With his great reputation, if he fails, it will be unfair to me as the chief examiner, but it is not beautiful.

Official Mi Feng's voice was very loud: "No. 190, Sumu, Qingyuan County, Baoding Prefecture."

"Pfft!" Yang Tinghe spat out a mouthful of tea, and then coughed violently.

This sudden change caused everyone to turn their heads around, and even Officer Mi Seam closed his mouth in surprise.

Yang Tinghe was still coughing non-stop, his face flushed red.Immediately, it was livid again.

The future chief minister of the cabinet felt confused and confused: how could it be, how could it be, the old man has thoroughly grasped his literary skills and style of writing, and thinks that no matter what articles Su Mu writes, he will not be able to escape my eyes.Why... still missing... How did he make his test paper?

Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe couldn't sit still any longer, rushed forward, grabbed Su Mu's paper and glanced at it.I immediately understood in my heart that this paper is very ordinary, and it is just a commonplace.But the words and sentences are smooth and thick, so smooth that people can't choose it.Compared with the article written by a scholar in his college examination, the quality is one above the other, and one below.

It seems that this Su Mu deliberately lowered his own standard and wrote it like this on purpose.

From where did this Su Mu know that he intends to take it down this time?

Yang Tinghe's head was spinning like a revolving lantern, and soon, he figured it out.During these days, he pondered with Su Mu's article all day long, and the news must have leaked out, and somehow it reached Su Mu's ears.

This fellow deliberately changed his style. The most frightening thing was that he lowered his standard and squeezed into the last ten.

Just this ability to lift weights lightly made Yang Tinghe gasp.

Yang Tinghe felt that he was completely tricked by Su Mu, and a surge of anger gushed out of his heart, and he couldn't hold it back anymore.

So, who actually owns the Jie Yuan Juan that was eliminated by him?

Yang Tinghe's heart was agitated, and he didn't care about decency, he rushed to the paper that he thought was Su Mu, and tore open the seal with a "si".

Seeing that the examiner was so anxious, everyone gathered around, and when they saw the name on the seal, they all shouted at the same time: "It's Long Mingqing's paper, and Long Zai didn't even pass the exam! "

"Long Mingqing was banned, how is it possible?"

……

Amidst the chaotic shouts, the eyes of all the examiners fell on Yang Tinghe at the same time, and their eyes were also full of complexity.

You know, this paper was taken by Mr. Yang against all opinions. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to turn against the deputy chief examiner.

What is he doing this for?

Soon, someone thought of the man with the dragon behind him.

In the past two years, Long has gained a great reputation in the south, and he is very likely to be Tang Bohu's heir. In a few years, he may become one of the five great talents in the south of the Yangtze River.

The crux of the problem is that Long Zai is King Ning's most capable staff member.

Master Yang is a person close to today's emperor. Could it be that the reason why he wants to take down Long Zai is because the court intends to attack the vassal.

You know, today's son has a generous personality and is very indulgent towards princes.This King Ning is also a young talent, could it be said that he has aroused the vigilance of the court.

For a moment, everyone was full of imaginations, and even some people had uncertain faces: Mr. Yang accidentally leaked the future direction of the court.This may not be an opportunity, do you want to make a note, talk about the harm of the vassal kings, and ask the court to issue an order to limit the rights of the kings and gentlemen?If the bet is right, it may not be a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Yang Tinghe staggered a step, and managed to stabilize his footing.There was a confusion in my heart: I originally planned to let Su Mu fail to win Juren, but by mistake, I wiped out King Ning's staff.These are troublesome, I am a close minister of the emperor, and Long Zai is an aide of King Ning.There are many caring people in the court, and they may not know the autumn without a leaf falling, causing a lot of trouble.

He sighed in his heart: What a scheming Su Ziqiao, with your knowledge, it shouldn't be difficult to become a Jinshi.When you enter the court in the future, who can control you based on your status in the prince's mind?

God's will!

Anyway, Su Mu was hit this time.

However, he himself does not know that there are still more than 20 days before the list is released.

At this moment, Su Mu was sitting in the car.

The wheels are rolling, and the maple forest in front of us is full of red.

Like a fire starting a prairie fire, so intense.

Autumn is deep.
