The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 344 Mr. Wuyi
"Today, as the chief examiner, I will permanently deprive you of the qualification to take the exam." Wang Huai didn't talk nonsense, and dealt with the examinee's matter directly.For such a scholar, even a great talent is poisoning the common people, it is better to cut off his thoughts.

What else did the examinee want to say? Seeing that Wang Huai was only deprived of his eligibility to take the exam and not prosecuted for other crimes, he decided to forget it after thinking about it.A good man doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, Wang Huai heard his own words truthfully, and even taunted the court officials face to face.

So, he could only suffer, even if there was resentment in his heart, he had to hold it back.In addition, his name and his ancestral home were all recorded, and even the academy he came from was recorded, which completely cut off his thoughts, and he had no hope of becoming an official for life.

"Brother, I like you!"

After the man was expelled, he was directly expelled from Yecheng by the yamen servants, and returned to his hometown with his luggage on his back.Even he never thought that he would have this day, the disaster came out of his mouth, and it was him.Then, Wang Huai looked at Zhao Gou again, admiring and encouraging him without hesitation.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Gou smiled calmly, without any joy or excitement, which made Wang Huai appreciate it even more.May I ask any student who sees the examiner will have an attitude of making friends with him, which one is not respectful.

Zhao Gou also treated each other with courtesy, but he didn't mean any compliments. How could Wang Huai not be amazed.Finally, Zhao Gou was also sent to a safe distance, and when he was about to turn around and leave; just as an official sedan chair came here in a hurry, Zhao Gou stopped curiously.

Steward Wang appeared beside Zhao Gou at the right time, and Zhao Gou asked, "The chief examiner who came to invigilate the exam this time has some background, brother Wang, do you know?"

"I don't know!" Butler Wang didn't lie, he really didn't know who the imperial court sent to invigilate the exam.

So, Zhao Gou temporarily stopped in his tracks and stopped to watch.

Out of the sedan chair came an elder with white hair and a childlike face. He was over fifty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Surprisingly, he didn't wear official uniforms, let alone official boots. out.

Originally, everyone was still full of expectations, thinking that the elder in front of them would be the chief examiner.However, seeing this person dressed up, everyone was disappointed again.Unexpectedly, many examiners, even Wang Huai, the deputy chief examiner, came down in a hurry.

When Zhao Gou caught Wang Huai's eyes on that person, he was shocked and overjoyed. He knew that this person was the chief examiner, but he didn't know his name.

"Mr. Wuyi" everyone greeted in unison, no one dared to be disrespectful, bowed their bodies in awe, and treated him with the courtesy of a junior.

"Mr. Wuyi? Who is he?"

Zhao Gou looked suspiciously at Wang Huai saluting the elder respectfully, it was really strange, he had never seen such a person, let alone heard of such a person.If it was really the chief examiner sent by the imperial court, it is impossible for Zhao Gou not to know.

Even if you haven't seen it, you've heard of it, but the person in front of you really hasn't seen it, let alone heard of it. I don't know who this person is.

"It's him!" Steward Wang glanced at him and said in surprise, "I didn't expect Mr. Hu to come here. No wonder other people respect him so much."

Zhao Gou asked in surprise, "Do you know this person? Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?"

Steward Wang shook his head, and said: "Mr. Wu Yi is what scholars call him. How do I know this person? I just heard about his deeds and investigated this person's situation, so I know. As for, we haven't met each other yet. That qualification."

So Steward Wang told Zhao Gou everything he knew in detail.

It turned out that this person was named Hu Anguo, a native of Chong'an in Jianning; his real name was Hu Di, because he aimed for a saint all his life, mainly engaged in academic research, devoted himself to the study of "Spring and Autumn", and later simply changed his real name, which is now "Mr. Wuyi" is what scholars call him.

Hu Anguo was the third Jinshi in the Ding Chou Division in the fourth year of Shaosheng. He was a doctor of Taixue.Two years later, he entered Taixue to study.After Hu Anguo entered the Taixue, he took Zhu Changwen and Jin Caizhi, friends of Neo Confucianist Cheng Yi, as his teachers.Jin Caizhi discussed classics and history with him and valued him very much.

Shaosheng took the imperial examination for four years. Just like the gossip that the previous person got, Hu Anguo was originally No.1, but because of the intervention of the prime minister, he finally became No.3.The emperor bestowed upon him a Ph.D. in Taixue, and he stayed in the Taixue Academy.

He successively became a school in Hubei and a school in Hunan, and worked in the Chengdu government.Because of his mother's death, Hu Anguo went back to his hometown to attend the funeral. Since then, he has been refusing to accept the official position conferred by the court because of his illness.At that time, during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Hu Anguo had a high status among literati, and he was not arrogant about his talents, let alone participating in any party disputes.

However, after Hu Anguo returned to his hometown, he never returned to Beijing, just like a kite with a broken string.As a last resort, Zhao Ji asked the people from the villa to investigate the truth of the matter.Moreover, after careful observation for a period of time, it was found that Hu Anguo had no interest in power, let alone nostalgia for the court, and lived in seclusion at home, self-sufficient.

"Since you are determined to die in your hometown, why did you appear here again this time?" Zhao Gou looked at Hu Anguo in surprise. It's kind of weird.

"Although Mr. Hu said that he resigned and returned to his hometown, he planned to die here. However, as a doctor of imperial studies, Mr. Hu attached great importance to the education of Song Dynasty. As long as there is any college in the local area, he will come forward to do his best. This time the rural examination I'm afraid it's also the reason."

"Is this really the case?" Zhao Gou looked at Steward Wang suspiciously.

Butler Wang remained silent. He couldn't say that this matter had something to do with Zhao Gou. It was really hard to say, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.What happened was like this. Originally, Hu Anguo really stayed in his hometown and was unwilling to come out, and what Wang Butler said was just words of comfort, not the truth.

Hu Anguo finally agreed to appear here because of the appearance of a person, because he could not refuse that person's request, he had to agree.Even if Hu Anguo didn't like to show his face, he had to agree, that person did it for Zhao Gou's sake, otherwise why would he appear here.

It can be said that the reason why Hu Anguo appeared here was because Zhao Gou was here.If Zhao Gou wasn't here, then Hu Anguo wouldn't have been asked to come here by that person, and he didn't ask anything.Since I agreed, I came here non-stop, before I had time to prepare anything.

Hu Anguo looked around and happened to see Steward Wang next to Zhao Gou. He didn't know Zhao Gou but he knew Steward Wang. Because the two had met each other more than once, he raised his head to look at Zhao Gou, slightly I was taken aback for a moment, and thought to myself: "So it's because of him!..."
