Chapter 295

The voice of the first deputy examiner from the Hanlin Academy was so excited that it almost frightened everyone around him.

At this moment, the beating sounded outside.

"Boom... boom, boom!"

One slow and two fast.

"It's dry, be careful with candles!"

At the third watch, the big guy should go to bed.

Several examiners frowned, isn't this first place already set? Just wish the red screen.

We don't believe it. The candidates present will surpass Zhu Hongping's.

Even if they are comparable, everyone will definitely take Zhu Hongping as the first, because he has been raising hope for several years.

The examiner frowned and said, "It's already the third watch, why don't we look at it tomorrow morning?"

The first deputy examiner said: "No, no, you have to watch it now, or you will regret it."

The crowd was even more scornful, but they still moved forward.

And this time, the first deputy examiner did not take the initiative to send the exam paper to the examiner.

A few examiners were about to go to sleep when they read with a pricking gaze.

Then, suddenly shivered.

Everyone fell asleep.

isn't it?

how can that be?

Ninety sutras are all correct, is this going crazy?

The record that Zhu Hongping had just created was broken within a few hours.

Next, I saw that all 30 clear math problems were correct.

Everyone was completely shocked.

Since the scientific examination, there have been postscripts and clear math questions, right?

It doesn't seem to be there, does it?

Is this candidate going to be unprecedented?

"This is truly unprecedented, and no one will come since."

"The scriptures and the math questions are all right, it's crazy, I've never seen it before, I've never heard of it!"

"Today is really amazing, eye-opening, eye-opening."

When the examiner heard this, he could not help but put down the shelf and walked over.

"However, even if the scriptures and Mingsuan are all correct, it is of little use. The most important strategies and poems in scientific research."

The first deputy examiner said: "You continue to look down at his strategies and poems."

Several examiners then looked down.

After reading Lan Lunzi's "On the Feudal System", I suddenly held my breath completely.

They exchanged shocked looks.

When I read Qiu Yan's poems, my body was full of horror.

When I finished reading "Pengniao Fu", my scalp was numb and my heart was shaking.

The drowsiness really disappeared without a trace.

There was silence in the arena.

Too... too scary.

There is such a metamorphosis in this department?

Wonderful text.

No wonder the deputy examiner said that Zhu Hongping's first place was lost.

The examiner took Zhu Hongping's exam paper and compared the two.

Immediately, the judgment was even higher.

I wish the red screen at most a good article that has not been encountered in a few years.

And this exam paper of unknown candidates, strategy theory is a rare occurrence in a century, and poetry and fu are even more difficult to talk about, and it is destined to last forever.

It can even be said that the article is born by nature, and it is obtained by a clever hand.

The examiner could not help but observe a moment of silence for Zhu Hongping.

The prime minister suppressed Zhu Hongping for two scientific examinations and did not let him participate in it. He finally survived to the age of seventeen, and the heat finally arrived, and the first place was lost.

What a tragedy.

Suddenly, an examiner said silently: "Who is this candidate? Do you want to open the name?"

Several examiners moved in their hearts.

They desperately wanted to know the candidate's name.

Take a look at that geek, who is so powerful?

But rules are rules.

It must be until the last time that the names can be opened, and the rankings have already been decided at that time.

It has even been discussed in the court that the subsequent provincial and general examinations will not only be anonymous, but will also have to be rewritten for all examination papers.

"Could it be a leak?" an examiner asked quietly.

Suddenly, several examiners looked at him with gloomy eyes.

Do you want to die?

How important is the exam?

If the question is leaked, all the examiners present will be finished, and they will sit in a row.

Besides, how could it possibly be a leak?

The strategy and poetry questions were drawn up by the monarch himself. Before the exam, they were completely wax-sealed, and even a few examiners did not know about them.

The scriptures and Mingsuan questions were given by six examiners together, but they never left the Gongyuan after the questions were given.

Even if you want to vent, there is no chance.

Cases of fraud in the imperial examinations are not without exception, but they usually involve high-level officials.

This time, Zhu Hongping participated in the scientific examination. The prime minister, Zhu Hongzhu, attached great importance to it. He could not wait to find the most upright person in the entire court to be the examiner. How dare you commit a little fraud and want to court death?

"Of course we didn't leak the questions here, but this exam paper is too demonic. The scriptures and the clear math questions are all correct, which is unprecedented. Moreover, this strategy theory, this poetry and fu, is not like a temporary play in the examination room at all."

"It's not like a mortal, like an immortal!"

"Yes, that's what it means."

"The key point is that we don't know who this person is at all, and we haven't heard of such a perverted genius among the national capital candidates."

"And this time Zhu Hongping is determined to win the first place. If we make him the second place, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar."

The first deputy examiner said: "What do you mean? Could it be that you want to bite the bullet and make Zhu Hongping the first place? Then I firmly disagree. If you do this, I will immediately withdraw from this scientific examination and formally invite Your Majesty. resign."

As soon as these words came out, several examiners murmured in their hearts.

Damn, what do you mean?

It's as if you're the only one with a backbone.

An examiner said: "Your Majesty is very partial to Zhu Hongping. He often says that my family has a thousand miles of horses. If Zhu Hongping loses the first place, I am afraid that it will also alarm His Majesty. So..."

The examiner said, "I have something to say."

The examiner said: "According to the rules, we still don't open up the fake names, and directly write two examination papers, and hand them over to Your Majesty, and then your Majesty will decide who is higher and who is lower?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's gaze turned to admiration.

Not bad.

Then, the first deputy examiner Yu wrote (copied) Lan Lunzi's examination paper.

The last deputy examiner wrote Zhu Hongping's examination paper.

After a full hour and a half, I finally finished writing all the credits.

At this time, it was almost two or three in the morning.

Several examiners wailed for a while, now they can only sleep for two hours at most, and they have to get up early tomorrow to continue marking the examination papers.

There are more than 2,000 copies.

According to the rules, the entire scoring work will last about three days, and on the fourth day, the admission list and the ranking order will be completely determined.

Then post the list.

The martial arts exam will officially start tomorrow.

So when the time comes, Enke's civil and martial arts exams will appear on the list almost at the same time.

Because the results of the martial arts exam are almost immediately obtained, no corrections are required.

The provincial examination of martial arts once had a system section, that is, the art of war, but it was cancelled after only two sessions.

Because the official title of Wujuren is just one hundred households, and there is no need to learn the art of war.

However, in the martial arts exam, the martial arts jinshi need to learn the art of war, and the proportion of the system is still very large. Because Wu Jinshi are all high-level talents, they will become generals in the future.

It was about three in the morning when a few examiners went to bed. They were still inside the Gongyuan and could not go out one step.

Lying in bed, these people are still tossing and turning.

Who is this monster? terrible.

Suddenly, he came out and wiped out Zhu Hongping, the first talent in the capital.

It's so weird.

………………

Early the next morning, Eunuch Li came to the Gongyuan again.

There is no way, the king is in a hurry.

"Masters, can you get a blank paper for review?"

"No!"

Then the examiner said: "Little Eunuch Li, there are two exam papers here, both of which are very good, absolutely excellent, if there are no exceptions, they should be the first and second place in this Enke exam, but who is the first, who is the best Second, we are still undecided, and please ask Your Majesty to act arbitrarily."

Reen frowned slightly, this is not a palace exam, why should His Majesty decide?

But there is Zhu Hongping who thinks of the exam in this subject. Did he fail the exam, or maybe a genius was born?

After hesitating for a while, Reen still took two re-written exam papers.

Then, he asked again, "My lords, is this the end of the review?"

The examiner said: "How can it be so fast, there are still nearly 2,000 copies."

Li En said: "Then why are you adults so sure, the first and second places are in these two exam papers."

The examiner said: "That's our blunder. We can't judge who is higher and who is lower in these two examination papers.

Reen nodded, took the two exam papers and left, and sent them into the palace.

………………

In times of adversity, the monarch Ning Yuanxian can hide many things in his heart.

When things are going well, Ning Yuanxian's mind will suddenly become shallow, and he doesn't want to hide anything at all, and he will get an answer soon.

Slept last night, woke up early today.

He just wanted to wait for an answer, whether Lan Lunatic has handed in a blank paper, and whether he has despised the king.

He didn't care about Lan Lunatic, he was like a cat and a dog in his heart.

What he cares about is Shen Lang, will this person hit Ning Yuanxian in the face? If you, Shen Lang, agree with the widow, then you shouldn't embarrass the widow.

As long as he was sure that Lunatic Lan had handed in a blank paper, he would immediately kill the person, and then immediately drag Shen Lang in to ask for clarification.

If you can't give a convincing answer, Shen Lang, then don't blame the widow for being ruthless.

At this moment, Father Li En's voice sounded outside.

"Come in." The monarch asked in a cold voice, "Li En, did you find Lan Lunzi's empty paper in the Gongyuan?"

Reen walked in and said, "That's not true, but the examiner found two very good exam papers, and they concluded that the first and second were among them, and it was impossible to judge who was higher and who was lower for a while, so please be decisive. ."

"No time." Ning Yuanxian said coldly: "This is not a palace exam, what do they eat? I want to decide the first name."

"Yes." Rean was about to leave with two exam papers.

However, the monarch soon thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Zhu Hongping, the child, had lost his hand?

Never heard of it, the queen said it, this time his nephew played very well.

"Bring it up."

Rean hurriedly brought up the two exam papers.

The first exam paper, the monarch picked it up and looked at it.

I just glanced at the scriptures and alchemy questions in front of me, and looked directly at strategy theory and poetry.

Although this was re-written, Ning Yuanxian could see at a glance that it was an article by Zhu Hongping.

Zhu Hongping called him his uncle. The monarch loved him very much and regarded him as his own child, so he was very familiar with his style of writing.

After reading the policy theory, after reading the poems.

The king is overjoyed.

I wish this kid Hongping did a great job.

This policy theory, as well as these two poems, are more than enough to participate in the conference hall exam.

In particular, "On the Feudal System" is completely the same as what he thought of Ning Yuanxian.

Good boy, good boy.

So well written, so good.

The first seems to be stable.

What do these examiners do to eat, don't they even take responsibility for this?

Just because Zhu Hongping is the queen's nephew and the grandson of Zhu Xiang, don't you dare to give the first place?

Could it be because he was born of a noble family, he should be suppressed?

Next, Ning Yuanxian picked up another exam paper.

Just watched it for less than two minutes.

He just stayed.

Tiejing and Mingshou are all right?

One hundred and twenty questions all right?

Is that human being? Is this perverted?

Immediately after reading Ce Lun's "On the Feudal System", the monarch's body trembled suddenly and he sat up instantly.

Good, good, good!

Almost every paragraph of these words was written into Ning Yuanxian's heart.

The key is to quote the words of the saints every sentence, and find the highest sacred reason for the next New Deal.

This policy theory is no longer profound, it is completely far-sighted and ambitious.

It can even replace the previous New Deal edict, which is announced to the world.

This policy theory contains all the content that the monarch Ning Yuanxian thought of.

Even the content that Ning Yuanxian did not think of, there are also in this policy theory.

In comparison, Zhu Hongping's policy theory is still immature.

Looking at the following "Autumn Wild Goose Poems" and "Pengniao Fu", the monarch's eyes could not help but warm up.

This is not only written into his heart, but completely written into his soul.

His soul seemed to have a string, and these two poems frantically plucked this soul string, making him tremble and shudder.

The person who wrote this poem and this poem is simply the confidant of the widow.

Soul confidant.

In this world, confidants are hard to find!

The monarch was immersed in a special feeling and could not extricate himself.

No wonder these examiners will send the article over. They actually already have the answer, but they dare not make Zhu Hongping the second, so they threw this problem to Zhu Hongping.

And Ning Yuanxian already had the answer in his heart.

Number one, absolutely number one.

Even if Zhu Hongping was his favorite child, he could only be second.

The master of the essay in this second exam paper doesn't look like it was written by a mortal.

"Whose is this exam paper?" Ning Yuanxian asked, "When did our country have such a talented person?"

Li En said: "According to the rules, the scoring is not over yet, so you can't open the names."

Ning Yuanxian was extremely surprised.

This is impossible. All the candidates in the capital have never heard of such a genius.

If it had, it would have stood out already.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Yuanxian shivered.

Shouldn't it be...

No, absolutely not.

Ning Yuanxian was shocked and full of expectations.

"Go, go to the Ning government, and bring in that man named Lan... a lunatic. I have something to ask him."

Although it had been repeated several times, Ning Yuanxian still couldn't remember this person's name. Who would like to remember the names of ordinary cats and dogs.

"Yes!"

Rean hurried out.

………………

More than half an hour later.

Madman Lan appeared in the palace, his legs trembling.

Then he knelt directly on the ground, "Grass, the grass-minders pay tribute to Your Majesty."

Then, he seemed to collapse to the ground and couldn't get up.

This person loves to act. You scum who dares to do self-deprecating things in the Enke examination room, will you be frightened and tremble?

The monarch took a look and immediately made a judgment on this person.

Thirty-something, handsome, complicated, daring, hypocritical, and pretentious.

Among beggars and homeless, it is still exquisite.

But the monarch is still far away. Although Lan Lunatic is no longer a beggar, in Ning Yuanxian's eyes, he is a beggar one day and a beggar all his life. He is unwilling to approach, touch, and be with him Breathing the same breath of air.

This virtue, quite a bit of the third brother's higher racial thinking.

"Show him."

Eunuch Li En immediately handed a copy of the test paper after the honorary writing to Madman Lan.

Ning Yuanxian asked, "Is this your test paper?"

Madman Lan kowtowed, "Yes, it's mine."

As soon as these words came out, the king and Reen were both stunned.

Also... it's really your exam paper.

Everyone thought that you handed in a blank paper, but they didn't think of you... You actually wrote the scriptures and Mingshou were all correct, and you also wrote immortal strategies and poems?

Are you going to be a complete blockbuster?

The monarch should have been ecstatic in his heart, because the biggest beneficiary of Lan Lunatic's blockbuster was his Ning Yuanxian.

During these days, the censors sprayed him every day, and thousands of candidates went to besiege the Ministry of Rites. Although he didn't say it, countless people laughed at the monarch, saying that he was ridiculous, and even let eleven beggars take the Enke exam.

Now that Madman Lan has done so well in the exam, it is time for Ning Yuanxian to show his great power, which means that he knows talents with discerning eyes.

He should be inexplicably surprised and extremely excited.

But for some reason, the monarch was not excited, and even felt very uncomfortable.

But all of a sudden, I couldn't find the reason for my discomfort.

Soon he understood.

Just because you are a lunatic, you are also worthy of writing such strategies, writing such poems, and becoming a confidant of the widow?

exactly!

It is for this reason.

So how difficult and mean this man is to serve.

The person he doesn't like can't resonate with him yet, you don't deserve it.

It's as if a woman is pregnant but abandoned by a man. A licking dog is willing to take over, but the woman says: You are not worthy of his offer.

The monarch's face froze and said: "Lan...Xi, you are recruiting from the truth. Have you cheated in this Enke exam?"

Eunuch Little Li waved his hand, and everyone around him immediately retreated.

Lan madman sighed in his heart.

The monarch was exactly as expected.

Except for the people he likes, everyone else is inferior to pigs and dogs, including the madman Thalan of course.

The king said coldly: "Lan madman, if you dare to lie next, the widow will kill you with a thousand swords."

Madman Lan kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, legally speaking, I have not cheated. But in fact, Caomin did cheat."

The monarch raised his eyebrows and said, "From the truth."

Madman Lan said tremblingly: "This "On the Feudal System", as well as "Autumn Wild Goose Poems" and "Peng Bird Fu" were actually written by Mr. Shen Lang in advance, and then let me memorize them. I just copied them in the examination room. That's it."

As soon as the words came out.

The king was ecstatic.

Hahahahaha!

That's true, it's true!

Sure enough, it was this little villain.

In this world, only he is worthy of being a widow's confidant.

Sure enough, only he can write into the widow's heart and be able to move the widow's soul chord.

Because we are both equally arrogant, equally intelligent, and equally refined.

Are you a lunatic too?

No one else deserves it.

Sure enough, it was written by Shen Lang, and the widow was not mistaken.

All the discomfort in the excited king's heart disappeared completely, and then he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it happily.

Madman Lan and Father Li En felt helpless in their hearts.

After a while, the king remembered something important.

"Why was Shen Lang able to write this policy theory and these poems in advance? Could it be a leak?" asked the monarch.

Madman Lan said, "Young Master Shen has prepared more than a thousand essays and three thousand poems."

As soon as these words came out, the monarch Ning Yuanxian was instantly stunned.

More than 1,000 policy essays and 3,000 poems?

This, is this high-yielding like a sow? Shen Lang, this little evil, is so powerful?

Lan Lunzi said: "Of course, other strategies and poems are not so good, but Shen Gongzi thinks that the topics that may be tested are very well written, and he speaks his heart. Whatever you think in your mind, the article will come out in a flash.”

This is the sincerity of Lan Lunatic. He really thinks that these strategies and poems are all written by Shen Lang alone.

Ning Yuanxian shouted: "Shen Lang, this wicked hindrance, dare to press the question? Looking for death, looking for death, looking for death!"

Your Majesty, your acting skills are too bad.

When you say damn, can you not lift the corners of your mouth?

Then, Ning Yuanxian remembered another key issue.

Madman Lan has only one month. Could it be that he has memorized more than 1,000 policy theories?

Moreover, his sutras and alchemy questions are all correct.

"Have you memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the dozen or so books of Mingshu?" the monarch asked.

Madman Lan nodded.

The monarch asked again, "In this month, have you memorized all the more than 1,000 policy theories?"

Madman Lan nodded again.

The monarch's scalp suddenly became numb. Is there really an unforgettable genius in this world?

"Rean, find him a book, give him a stick of incense, and let him memorize five thousand words."

Eunuch Li immediately went to find a book, handed it to Madman Lan, and then lit a stick of incense.

After a quarter of an hour, the short incense burnt out.

Eunuch Li took the book back from Madman Lan and asked him to recite the first five thousand words.

result!

Lan Lunatic recited everything word by word.

Rean was amazed.

The king was amazed.

Talent!

Amazing!

But Shen Lang is even more powerful. This lunatic Lan has been wandering for so many years, but no one has found that he is a talent. As a result, Shen Lang dug out at a glance.

Bole without Maxima is still amazing.

But without Bole's Maxima, it would be nothing.

Next, the monarch faced a difficult problem.

What should I do with the ranking of the Enkewen exam?

Make Zhu Hongping the first place?

But Lan Lunzi's strategies and poems are so excellent that anyone with a discerning eye can see that his articles are even better.

Set the Lan Lunatic as the first place?

That's bound to cause an uproar.

The key points of Lan Lunzi's strategies and poems are copied, and the original author is Shen Lang.

If there is no real talent and real learning, he will be debunked as the first place. At that time, it will not only be a shame, but it will also turn into a fraud case.

Suddenly, the monarch also felt very difficult.

"Lanyu, how is your own strategy and poetry level?" Ning Yuanxian asked.

Lan madman said: "It's okay, Your Majesty can temporarily ask questions, and I will answer them on the spot."

Ning Yuanxian nodded, anyway, he is a madman, and he likes to show off.

In just a moment, a policy topic and a poem were created.

"On Friendship" is a policy topic.

There are two lines in the Book of Songs "July", the fire in July and the clothing in September, use these two lines to make a poem and a fu respectively.

"Give him a table, pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Madman Lan sat in front of the table, and without much thought, he immediately started writing.

In less than an hour, he wrote a strategy theory of more than 1,000 words, and wrote a poem and a fu.

All of them are his own works. Although he has related strategies and poems in his mind, Lan Lunatic did not copy them. He knew in his heart what the monarch wanted.

Good enough, but not too good.

Eunuch Li handed the articles and poems to Ning Yuanxian.

The monarch hesitated for a moment, he was unwilling to touch Lan Lunatic's things, and he did not want to have any indirect contact with him.

But after all, this person was Shen Lang's fancy, even if he was a beggar, he was considered a rare talent.

That's all, the widow's poems and articles just touched a little, and it's a big deal to wash their hands desperately.

The monarch looked at this policy theory with one eye and ten lines, and then read the poems and fu.

Then, once again stunned.

Look at it carefully a second time.

It's actually well written, of course, there is still a gap with Shen Lang's level, and it's a big gap.

However, the sentences are gorgeous and the dictionaries are accurate. It can be regarded as a first-class good article, but it lacks a little soul.

It's like a stack.

However, there are many such articles in the imperial examination room, and most of the scholars wrote this kind of articles.

But Lan Lunatic's talent still made the monarch admirable.

In just one month, to have this level, it is definitely a genius.

Relying on the level of the lunatic in the column, there is no problem with the Enke exam in high school this time.

But if you want to win the top three, you need a lot of luck.

That is to say, Lan Lunatic's talent can still stand up to scrutiny, at least there is no need to worry about being exposed.

If it was replaced by other kings, in order not to take risks, Lan Lunatic would definitely be ranked second.

But Ning Yuanxian is different, he likes to pursue perfection in everything.

And in his mind, it was Shen Lang himself who took the Enke exam at this time, and Madman Lan was just a puppet.

He didn't want to let Shen Lang take the second place.

Gritting his teeth sharply.

First place is for you!

If there is an uproar, let it be uproar, what is the fear of the widow?

The king waved his hand and said, "Lanyu, go back."

Madman Lan kowtowed: "Caomin retire!"

After he left, the monarch made no secret of it at all.

Excited to walk around the study.

He was already imagining how shocked the world was when the list was made public.

Those censors who sprayed him every day before, as well as those shameless candidates, would be slapped in the face.

Thinking about this scene, I feel cool and enjoyable!

"Li En, when you go to the Gongyuan, say that I know the matter, and tell them that the imperial examinations are fair and impartial, and whoever should be the first will be the first. Regardless of the candidate's identity, the competition is based on essays and poems."

The meaning of this is already clear.

Reen bowed and said, "Yes!"

The monarch said: "This matter must be kept secret. Before the list is made public, no rumors can be leaked. Even the Zhu family can't know about it. Sending the Heishuitai warriors to the tribute courtyard will not let any news leak out."

Rean was speechless.

His master is too wicked.

Everything is for the slap in the face at the moment when the list is made public.

This time, His Majesty is going to join forces with Shen Lang to slap everyone in the world.

"Yes!"

After Lean left.

The monarch could not help but fall into a fantasy.

When Enkewen tried, Shen Lang created a miracle.

What about the martial arts exam?

Can Shen Lang create a miracle?

Although it sounds very bizarre.

After all, Lunatic Lan has read books, and has the talent to remember, and can memorize the strategies and poems written by Shen Lang.

But there were ten half-disabled beggars who took the martial arts exam. It was really harder to create a miracle than to ascend to the sky.

Practicing martial arts is a ten-year effort, not something that can be accomplished overnight.

But I don't know why, but the king's heart is still full of infinite expectations.

If Shen Lang can also create miracles in martial arts?

That face was stunned.

Then he, the monarch, has also become a wise eye and a talent, and his reputation has risen.

"Li Falcon, tomorrow's martial arts exam room, you send someone to watch, there must be no fraud or injustice."

The eunuch Li Xun bowed and said, "Yes!"

certainly!

King Ning Yuanxian's inner hope was dashed like a soap bubble just after a quarter of an hour.

The ten beggars who participated in the martial arts under Shen Lang returned to the capital.

They were still tied up on horseback, and they came back with wailing and wailing.

That is to say, a whole month has passed, and they have not even learned to ride a horse.

This martial arts is still a fart?

Suddenly, Shen Lang once again became the laughing stock of the capital.

The news that Lan Lunatic handed in a blank paper just broke out.

Now these ten beggars have come out again to be embarrassed.

Ning Yuanxian's face turned pale with anger, and he could not wait to bring Shen Lang in again to ask him clearly.

But he was full of hope.

Perhaps, maybe Shen Lang is acting again.

Maybe this little evil can really create a miracle tomorrow?

This ghost is cunning and cunning.

………………

next day!

Enke Wuju exam, officially started!

…………

Note: The first update is sent, and the next chapter of the martial arts exam will be fully written! Pray for support, ask for a monthly pass, thank you all!

Happy birthday to my wife today!
