Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 364 What the hell, can you guys show some face (the third update)

Chapter 362

"If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please first talk about the old and the young. The old people often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Only thinking about the past creates nostalgia; only thinking about the future creates hope. Only nostalgia, so Conservative; only hope, so enterprising. Only conservative, so forever old; only aggressive, so daily new..."

After hearing the opening chapter, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This style of writing, this kind of contrast, is really refreshing, and the writing is extremely sharp, pointing directly at people's hearts.

Those who like it feel like drinking fine wine, while those who hate it suddenly feel like tasting yellow lotus.Looking at the distinct expression changes of many Wen ministers in the hall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips triumphantly.

Especially those officials who were in their prime of life felt a little different when they heard this, and they couldn't help turning their eyes to the hall, where there were many old ministers.

And many grey-haired ministers either showed anger on their faces, or were calm and calm, or lamented that they were young and mad, and some of them were as intoxicated as Su Dongpo and couldn't extricate themselves.

And most of these candidates were fascinated by it, and sighed, who the hell wrote this, isn't it awesome?
But at this moment, Zhao Ji and Li Yu, who were blushing and agitated, couldn't help but secretly raised their thumbs up at Wang Yang, brother, you are really awesome, and slapped those old rhythms directly in the face .

As for Mr. Wang, facing the two thumbs, he smiled very modestly, as if he was a modest gentleman with a modest heart.

And Gao Taotao, who was behind the thin curtain, heard the beginning, a pair of black eyebrows that were no longer dark suddenly raised, and his lips were tightly pursed, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

But when Zhu Guangting read the middle paragraph, he found that this was not deliberately slandering the elders, but to illustrate the difference between the old and the young through some vivid examples.

"...Wen, Wu, Cheng, and Kang are the youths of the Zhou Dynasty. You, Li, Huan, and Nan are the old ages. Gao, Wen, Jing, and Wu are the youths of the Han Dynasty. Yuan, Ping, and Huan , spirit, it is also in old age. Since the remaining dynasties, there is no exception..."

Using people as a metaphor for a country, and using youthful vigor and old age as a metaphor for state affairs and courts, although such a sharp comparison seems a bit wild, it is not without reason.

And the last part of the inspiring and passionate words also made Gao Taotao, who was no longer young, couldn't help but feel excited. He suddenly felt so hearty that he couldn't help but pat the table in front of him and gave a soft drink.

It seemed that this was something inappropriate, and he had to close his mouth tightly again.I became more and more curious in my heart, who would be able to make such an article by then.

Could this be the handwriting of that Wang Wushan?With such doubts in mind, Gao Taotao couldn't help raising his brows.

After Zhu Guangting finished reading with a blank face, he handed the examination paper back to the eunuch beside him, and then returned to his seat.

"Your Majesty, this article is eloquent and eloquent. I think it is a rare and good article, and it should be selected." It was a deputy examiner who stood up, and it was the Minister of Rites who praised the article.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this person compares the old and the young throughout the article, and regards the elderly as enemies. This type of writing really violates the country's respect for the elderly and the virtuous..."

"Lord Zhao's words are wrong. I think this article is very well written. Although I am an old man, I also think that a country can only be strong when it is young..."

No one thought that at least most of the officials present were those who had participated in the imperial examination, but they had never seen it before. They were actually sent into two parties to quarrel in the court for an article. posture.

I can't help but sigh with emotion in my heart, even if this article was finally taken down under the huge pressure of conservatives, but the author of this article, I am afraid that after today, he will definitely become famous all over the world.

#####
"Enough!" At this time, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao behind the curtain finally couldn't bear it anymore, can you bastard ministers show some face.

Those palace examinations are all there, you guys are all important ministers of the country, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by jumping up and down like this.

Gao Taotao's angry voice roared, finally suppressing the chaotic scene, and after the spitting ministers retreated to their respective positions.

Only then did Gao Taotao indifferently ask the emperor. "Since His Majesty is in charge of the imperial examination this year, it is up to His Majesty to judge fairly..."

"Grandson knows." Zhao Ji bowed to the figure behind the bamboo curtain, then turned around, walked to the imperial case and stood still, glanced at the ministers of civil and military affairs present, raised the ink pen, and landed on the Zhang Lingchaotang. On the examination paper of the market place.

#####
After the emperor named the number one, second and third overall winner in the A family according to his own preferences, he then divided the excellent and good ones into the first class in the B family, and those after that were all in the second class.

At this time, Su Dongpo stepped forward, first took the second-class test paper of the second class, tore off the blurred names on the test paper on the spot, and called out the name of the candidate...

Although everyone who was called was overjoyed, they quickly came back to their senses. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, they came to the hall. The sons all entered the hall and stood.

After Zhao Ji heard his name, he couldn't help feeling relieved, and after saluting to Wang Yang and Li Yu, he strode away.

Immediately afterwards, there was another list of first-class candidates in the second division, and Li Yu was also on this list. This guy also saluted Wang Yang with a look of embarrassment before striding away.

And Wang Yang continued to stand where he was, with an appearance of not being surprised by honor or disgrace, but in fact he was a little bit guilty in his heart, wondering what kind of ranking the emperor would give him for this article of his own?
After all, just now when the empress dowager Gao Taotao told the emperor that he wanted to select talents fairly, it was already vaguely warning.

This made Wang Yang feel a little regretful. From the looks of it, it should be him soon.

But what I didn't expect was that more and more candidates were called to stand in the hall, and fewer and fewer candidates were around me. In the end, there were only a few people left, but they still didn't have their own names.

Wang Yang's little heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Could it be that Zhao Xu really wanted to confront the Empress Dowager at this time?
In the end, when there were only two candidates who were overwhelmed with surprise, all the first-class candidates in Section Yi had arrived.

"In the eighth year of Yuanyou's reign, the Guiyou Branch explored the flowers, Zhao Xuan..."

Another middle-aged man next to Wang Yang, about forty years old, was so excited that his beard was trembling, his teeth were chattering, and he almost fell to the ground. Wang Yang quickly gave him a hand. "Congratulations, brother, hurry up and get over there, don't do anything disrespectful to me."

Zhao Xuan nodded gratefully at Wang Yang, then stood still, took a deep breath, and then lifted his front skirt and strode forward.

And Wang Yang's heart is really fucking like the volleyball in the hands of Junko Xiaolu in "Volleyball Girl", going up and down.

"Bi Jian, second place in the eighth year of Yuanyou Division..." After Su Dongpo uttered these words, everyone's eyes first fell on that Bi Jian whose face turned pale at first, then turned red into Guan Gong, and then quickly Soon, it landed on Wang Yang who was standing in the hall with the old god standing there.

Now Wang Yang is actually really nervous, his head is almost buzzing, what the hell am I going to become the champion of Song Dynasty?
"It's him, he actually became the number one scholar in this discipline?!" Many officials who knew Wang Yang, who had bet against Zhao Tingzhi on the birthday of the emperor, were all tongue-tied.
