Song Menghua: At the beginning, ask to marry Sheng Minglan

"This kind of talent... I probably know who it is!"

A group of examiners praised it.

Mei Zhi couldn't help but waved to Ouyang Xiu: "Uncle Yong, come and take a look."

"In this test paper, the poems and prose are full of talents, and the essays are wonderful."

"I thought too."

"Even if it is my generation, it should make way for this child!"

Mei Zhi, courtesy name Gongyi.

During Song Renzong's reign, his position in the literary world was only slightly inferior to that of Ouyang Xiu, so it is remarkable to have such an evaluation from him.

Ouyang Xiu inevitably put down his brush and came over to have a look.

"Yao, Shun and Yutang, when Wen Cheng and Wu Kang, how much they loved the people."

"And treat the world with the way of a gentleman."

"If there is something good, then reward it."

"If there is something bad, punish it."

This is exactly the "On Punishment, Reward and Loyalty" in the examination questions.

All the examiners couldn't help shaking their heads while reading.

It's not that they agree with the point of view of this trial theory, but they are amazed that the student's fresh and concise words show a majestic momentum like the sea, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.

This is the power of words.

"Sure enough!"

"This examination paper should be shelved."

Shelved means, that is, a Jinshi.

And Ouyang Xiu also knew.

Although the names of all the exam papers were carefully pasted, he can also conclude that this exam paper must come from four people under his sect!

Only of course he couldn't say it.

Mei Zhi smiled and said: "According to me, high pavilions are not good, this student... should be the leader!"

Before the palace examination, there is no such thing as the number one scholar and the first prize.

There are only one, two, and three rankings.

What Mei Zhi meant was that it should be the top of the list.

He finished.

Many officials next to him nodded in agreement.

"good."

"In the past few days, in terms of talent and knowledge, this test paper is second to none."

however.

Ouyang Xiu shook his head slightly.

"I'm afraid the leader can't do it."

After a pause, facing everyone's suspicious eyes, he pointed to the test paper and said, "There is a mistake here."

"Look at—"

"He said, 'At the time of Yao, Gao Tao was a scholar, and he would kill someone. Gao Tao said, kill him. Three days later, Yao said, forgive him'."

"'Thus the whole world is afraid of Gao Tao's firm law enforcement, but Le Yao's punishment is lenient.'"

"What's wrong?"

"First, Gao Tao was a courtier of Emperor Shun, but this student said he was a courtier of Emperor Yao."

"It's a common sense error."

"Second, pardon my ignorance, where does this allusion come from?"

"Why don't I have any impression?"

be honest.

Not only Ouyang Xiu, but all the civil servants who can participate in the ceremony are all top scholars in the Song Dynasty.

But even this large group of learned people.

None of them could remember where this allusion came from.

Someone hesitated——

"Thousands of books are as vast as smoke, maybe... it's an isolated book that we haven't read?"

Some officials were also skeptical.

"It can't be made up by this student himself..."

"That's too bold!"

a time.

Mei Zhi and the others all frowned.

No one dared to say for sure what was going on.

Only Ouyang Xiu sighed silently.

But he knows—

Su Shi and Su Zizhan have always been arrogant, this allusion...maybe he invented it at all!

He dared to quote scriptures on major scientific examination questions, but he quoted allusions made up by himself.

It must be said that this Su Shi is also the only one for thousands of years!

……

"Zihua, what do you think?"

"Have you heard of this allusion?"

After a while, perhaps noticing that the other assistant examiner hadn't come, Mei Zhi turned back to ask.

Unexpectedly, after he finished asking, no one responded.

This made Mei Zhi turn around in doubt.

"Zihua?"

Han Jiang, courtesy name Zihua.

He is not only the youngest political counselor in the court today, but also the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

His father is also Han Yi Han Zongwei, the Zaifu of the Great Song Dynasty who has just become an official.

It can be said to be an honor, and everyone is fair.

But at this moment.

He was obviously sitting behind the desk, looking at the test paper in his hand intently, not only did he seem to have never heard Mei Zhi's voice, but his expression was particularly ferocious.

It's like seeing something amazing!

But the problem is-

It was just a test paper, why did it make him so devoted and frightened at the same time?

Thus.

Not only Mei Zhi and Ouyang Xiu were very curious, but even the examiners around were shocked to each other.

Then they rushed towards Han Jiang with a bang.

"too frightening!"

"The examinee... is simply too scary!"

Maybe because he noticed that there were many people around him in an instant, Han Jiang finally made a sound.

He was in a cold sweat.

"I feel that what I see is not just a test paper."

"But..."

"It's a ruler of the world, who puts all kinds of torture to the world and to my Song Dynasty."

"And most horribly."

"He can still give a solution!"

"This……"

"This student is too scary!"

Even he himself didn't feel it.

After reading several articles, he no longer knows how many times he said the word 'terrible'.

Ouyang Xiu, Mei Zhi, Wang Gui and everyone else focused their attention on the few examination papers.

"Six Armies of the Son of Heaven."

"Because I have never been confident in my court, I have always shackled warriors..."

"In the long run, the country will not be the country, and the people will not be the people..."

"One hundred thousand mu of arable land in the world."

"The [-] acres are all controlled by bureaucratic gentry."

"Land consolidation is on the rise."

"There are 370 households in the Great Song Dynasty... Among them, there are not one out of ten who have arable land."
