Knowing that he has to take the exam tomorrow, the most important thing now is to recharge his batteries. Seeing that he was fine, Mr. Qiao and Jia She stopped those who cared, and they all went to Jia next to him after a few words of advice. Xi's courtyard, don't disturb his rest here.

Meimei rested for a day and a night, and got up early the next morning to enter the examination room. This time, the test was about 'theory'. It was no longer like the last time that every question could be found in some annotation books. standard answer.

Here, candidates are required to not only solve the topic accurately, but also to make reasonable and convincing arguments in each article. Candidates are also required to be able to write their own characteristics. Only in this way can the examiner shine.

What makes Jia Cong happy here is that the imperial examinations started in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and because of the wars in the middle, they did not prevail for many years, so the stereotyped articles in the Ming and Qing Dynasties have not yet been formed, and the fonts are not unified. So many constraints give people the opportunity to speak freely and freely, which is the favorite of candidates like Jia Cong who are well-read and have many whimsical ideas.

Looking at the sentence in front of me, "Gentlemen don't compare themselves, and villains don't compare themselves." It comes from "The Analects", which means: gentlemen are closely united and do not collude into parties, and villains collude with each other but are not intimately united.

After reading this topic, one knows how much resentment is full of resentment towards the noble concubine in the palace, the banned fourth prince, and the sixth prince who is still jumping around outside.

Thinking of what Tu Su said was that His Majesty personally drafted the questions for the second and third rounds of this year's general examination, now that he saw the questions, he knew that what he said was true.

The second topic is "The people can let them know what they want." This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius Taibo", which has always been used as evidence that Confucius agreed with the monarch to implement the policy of obscuring the people, but Jia Cong was still stunned when he saw it. for a moment.

This sentence was just an example he gave when promoting punctuation marks. A small comma overturned the understanding of the words left by Confucius for thousands of years. There was an uproar, I really didn't expect His Majesty to use this as the subject of this exam, and I don't know if he has some hidden plans!

The third topic is "Jia Yi's theory of five baits and three appearances, Ban Gu ridiculed him for being ignorant. However, Qin Mu tried to use it to dominate Xirong, and the theory of Bank of China also used it to abstain from Shanyu, and his theory is not ineffective." At first glance, it may be just Let everyone discuss the advantages and disadvantages of what Jia Yi said. In fact, it is not like asking everyone to write an article on "Ping Rong Ce", but I don't know why I put it here. Is it because I am afraid that these candidates will not have the ability to write a good article on Ping Rong. policy theory?

Shaking his head, it seemed unlikely that this was the reason.

He comes from the era of information explosion in the later generations, so he naturally believes in the truth that "the law cannot last forever, and the times change". Combining with the current actual situation, relying on the extra thousand years of military theory, he must write a good " "Ping Rong Ce" is not very difficult.

With the ideas for the three articles, Jia Cong felt that today he was not only amazingly lucky, but also extremely flexible in his mind, and it was as if his writing was aided by a god.

While others were still thinking hard, he had finished writing all three articles here. No. 12 entered the examination room, and it was only the morning of No. 13. According to the rules, he would not be able to go out until tomorrow morning, just like this Sitting in this little cage?

I frowned, hey, it's better to write slowly, at least I still have something to do!

While he was frowning there, another candidate who was carried out made his eyes light up. As long as these candidates were carried out, as long as they finished answering the questions, it seemed that the papers would be included in the review instead of being invalidated directly.

Does that mean that the rule that NO.14 can only go out in the morning is actually a loophole that can be exploited?

At worst, he should keep a low profile and pretend to be unwell!

After making up his mind, he went to do it, and when he saw the patrolling examiner walking to a place near him, he hurriedly pressed his stomach and cried out "Ai Ai Ai".

Hearing that something happened to him, the man hurried over a few steps and rushed over. Seeing that he was holding his stomach, his face was a little pale, so he hurriedly asked, "Is this candidate feeling sick in his stomach? Maybe he can hold on?"

Jia Cong replied with a trembling voice, "My lord, the student's stomach hurts very much..." At this point, he bent over as if he couldn't bear it.

The examiner has seen many candidates who look like this in the past few days. The weather is cold and they have to eat some cold snacks. What's more difficult is that they don't even have a cup of hot water. No wonder so many candidates have unbearable abdominal pain.

Fearing that something might happen to him if he endured it any longer, the examiner called the soldier over and wanted to send him out. Jia Cong quickly pointed at the table and shouted, "Paper!"

The examiner thought that he was in a hurry and didn't finish answering the questions, so he quickly comforted him with a few words, nothing more than 'you are still young, there is still a chance next time' or something like that.

Jia Cong shook his head when he heard the black lines all over his head, "The student has already finished his answer, but he hasn't had time to check it yet. I wonder if he can hand it in now?"

The examiner froze for a moment. He didn't expect the candidate to answer the questions so quickly at such a young age. Then he remembered that in the last round, this boy was the first to hand in the paper. Thinking this way, he looked at the boy. His gaze showed some sympathy. He heard that the young Jia Cong hated him so much that some people valued him. He didn’t expect that he would leave early because of abdominal pain. Although he finished writing in such a short time, he didn’t even check It didn't even have time, and it seemed that it was going to be delayed, which is really a pity.

Seeing that the examiner kept staring at him, Jia Cong's expression was also inexplicable, and he felt a burst of nervousness, "Damn, didn't you realize that you were pretending?"

Just when he was about to say something more, the examiner had already spoken. He asked two soldiers to support him, and he personally took the roll-shaped paper and went to the front and handed it to the examiner, whispering in his ear. What.

The chief examiner nodded in Jia Cong's direction to show he understood, and after receiving Jia Cong's gift, he was helped out.

Fei and Zhao Qi led people to guard outside as usual, fearing that their third master would be carried out, so several people took turns staring at the gate of the Gongyuan without daring to make a mistake, refusing to let it go.

Who would have thought that he was afraid of something? Although the third master was not carried out by someone, he was helped out. Seeing this situation, the faces of several people turned pale with fright, and their calves were a little uncomfortable. So it turned around.

Sun Fei didn't care about hiding for fear of being recognized by others, relying on his skill, he ran to Jia Cong first and held him firmly.

Jia Cong is still pretending to be weak, so he has no way to give him hints, so he can only continue to worry for a while, and bowed his hands to the two soldiers who sent him out to express his gratitude. Sun Fei and Zhao Qi, who arrived later, continued With the support, he slowly walked to the side of the carriage, and when he got into the carriage, his whole body suddenly came alive.

I found a pack of candied fruit from the dark compartment and ate it cheerfully. Where was the sickness just now, I could see the black lines on Fei and Zhao Qi's faces.

However, after all, the two had seen a lot, and quickly returned to normal, and asked respectfully, "Third Master, should we go back to the residence first, or do you want to go out for a stroll?"

After being imprisoned for so long, he really wanted to go out for a buffer time of two days and two nights this time, but after thinking about it, he decided to go back and take a hot bath first to feel comfortable.

Thinking so, he said to Zhao Qi, "Go home!"

Sun Fei rolled his eyes when he saw this, and said to Zhao Qi, "Brother Zhao, I think the third master's complexion is still not very good, it will take some time for the imperial doctor to arrive at Jia's house, why don't we go to the palace first? There is an imperial doctor there all the year round, and it is closer to here."

Zhao Qi knew that his third master had a strong friendship with Prince Zhongshun, and that master really valued his little master, otherwise he wouldn't have sent an internal prison guard over these days.

It's just that he was still a little undecided. Over there, Fei turned his eyes to Jia Cong and said, "Third Master, our prince has a new large glass mirror, do you want to go and have a look?"

A mercury mirror has already been made in Tusi, so fast?

He had had enough of those bronze mirrors over the years, so he naturally wanted to see them, and since the mirrors were made, it meant that he was not far away from the day when he would make a lot of money. He was happy, and there was no reason not to go, He nodded towards Fei to express his agreement.

Fei immediately burst into a smile, and told the driver outside, "The third master said, go to the palace first!"

When Jia Cong arrived at the palace, Tu Fu was not there, and it was time to go to court, and no one could tell when he would come back if something happened in the court.

When I entered the room, the doctor Liu was already waiting, felt the pulse, but nothing happened, but the old doctor with white beard was hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not.

It is well known that the examination papers can only be handed in at least in the morning of NO.14 in normal times. Why did the master of the Jia family come out so early?

This body is also very healthy, and he doesn't look sick at all, which makes him a little undecided, should he tell the truth, what if, if he tells the truth, he will offend the person in front of him?

As a veteran imperial physician, what is equally outstanding compared to his medical skills is his ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Although he would not do anything to harm others with his medical ethics, this small matter of helping to cover up is still can do.

Thinking of this, looking at the young man in front of him felt a little unclear, hoping that the young man would give some hints so that he would know how to speak.

But how could Jia Cong know what his complicated expression meant?

Looking suspiciously at the opposite Imperial Physician Liu, while waiting for him to announce his physical condition, he was still studying his face, which was obviously rosy and ruddy when he looked closely, but even the slightest wrinkle appeared. No, I really don't know how to take care of it. I believe that with this ability to maintain beauty, there will be many people in the palace who are fawning on him. Should I ask Tufu to ask him for some prescriptions?

The two of them were thinking about each other, and they didn't open their mouths for a while, but Sun Fei and Zhao Qi next to him were frightened by Liu Taiyi's pretending to be mysterious. It took a long time to get a result from the diagnosis, so there must be something wrong with Mr. Cong's body, right?

The two of them looked at each other, their faces turned pale with worry, and they wanted to ask the doctor Liu what was going on with the third master's body, but their throats felt a little tight, and their voices changed when they spoke, Fei thought of The prince of their family came back furious, and even brought out a crying sound, "I said, Master Liu, don't be in a daze, but tell me what the hell is going on with the third master's body? If it's true If there is any discomfort, the slave will immediately go get the medicine and boil it."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes, thinking about my own body, how can I not know?As long as he takes a bath and eats something delicious, he doesn't even need to rest.

Looking up at Imperial Physician Liu, his expression turned a little bit bad, isn't this old fellow pretending to be a deceit?Otherwise, why can't even diagnose his normal pulse?

Physician Liu is an old man. When he saw Jia Cong looking at him, he knew that he was being suspected. He was so embarrassed that he almost didn't come up. Who is he doing this for?

Really good intentions are not rewarded, fortunately he also knew that with this casual attitude in Prince Zhongshun's mansion and Sun Fei's respectful appearance, he was not something he could offend, so he suppressed the resentment in his heart , but when he spoke, he lost the caution just now.

He said directly to several people, "Judging from San Ye Cong's pulse, although it is somewhat worn out, it is not a serious problem. Eat something and take a good rest to make up for it."

When Sun Fei and Zhao Qi heard this, they couldn't help but chanted aloud, and sent away Imperial Physician Liu. One went to arrange for someone to prepare breakfast, but the other hurried back to Jia's mansion to report to Mr. Jia Cong Sanye's business has gone.

After Jia Cong took a shower and ate something, he originally took a book and leaned on the recliner to pass the time, but he fell asleep without reading a few pages.

After Tu Su came down to court, he was stayed by His Majesty the Emperor to discuss matters. Qin Feng entrusted Su Jiu to bring him a message, saying that Jia Cong had come out of the examination room and was resting in the palace.

It was such a sentence that immediately made him absent-minded, and everyone in the hall pretended not to hear the question, and looked towards the direction of the gate from time to time.

All the people here are the emperor's confidantes, and what they are discussing is the matter of glass and cement. The main person in charge, Tu Su, seems to be indifferent. It seems that the following content cannot be discussed. .

Tu Rui looked at his younger brother's appearance and really hated iron and steel. In order not to let him be ashamed and know it all over the court, he had to find an excuse and send everyone out.

"Come here and tell me, what is going on with Jia Cong, why did he come out of the examination room so early?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Su Jiu felt a little bitter. The gate of the examination room has not been opened yet, how can he, an internal supervisor, know what's going on inside?

But when the emperor asked, he couldn't allow him to pretend that he didn't know, so he could only bite the bullet and reply, "Return to Your Majesty, I only heard that the third master Cong didn't look very good when he came out of the Gongyuan in the morning, but after returning to the Zhongshun Palace , Physician Liu has already checked it, and only said that it is a little weak, and it will be fine after a good night's sleep."

The emperor frowned and nodded, always feeling that he had revealed something, "Have you finished answering Jia Cong's paper?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the gate of this tribute courtyard is not open, and the slaves don't know about it, and the Third Master Cong didn't say anything when he came back." Su Jiu shrank her neck. The most important thing for these internal prisons is to ask for help. With a good memory and well-informed, no matter what the emperor asks, he can answer everything, but today such a simple matter was asked by the emperor, Su Jiu really felt that everything was wrong.

Tu Su who was next to him couldn't sit still when he heard Brother Cong's face turn pale. It was only because Tu Rui had accumulated power with him for a long time that he didn't turn around and leave without his consent.

Now hearing that my royal brother is still entangled in whether Brother Cong finished the paper, he couldn't help but retort, "Brother Huang, why is that paper so important, Brother Cong didn't finish it before he finished it , what's the big deal?"

When Tu Rui heard his younger brother's words, he was so angry that he almost caught someone and beat him up. Considering that Tu Sui is also a prince now, he has to show some face in everything, so he didn't really reach out, but he still couldn't help it Pointing at the door, "Get out, I don't want to see you again!"

Tu Su didn't wait too long for these words, a smile appeared on his face as soon as he heard it, fearing that the emperor would go back on his word, he hurriedly said his farewell ceremony, and before the emperor could react, the person had already fled outside the gate.

The angry Tu Rui itched his teeth again, but he had already left, and he couldn't be caught again, so he turned his head and said to Su Jiu, "You go to the Gongyuan to deliver my oral order, and ask them to send two people Bring Jia Cong's papers from these two games to me."

Su Jiu responded, and quickly ran towards the Gongyuan, explaining her intentions in the future. She thought it was a simple matter, but encountered trouble again. The test papers for this round are fine, after all, no one has handed in the papers yet. , Jia Cong is alone there, just take it away.

It was hard to deal with the last one, it was all vague, how could it be so easy to find out?

Even if someone suggested to check against the notes, it is not very realistic. You must know that when these papers are handed in, they are all rolled into a tube and sealed, and can only be unfolded when the examiner marks the papers.

But there are still four or five days before the examination papers are graded, so open the papers now?Don't say it doesn't comply with the rules, and it won't be good if it spreads out!

The chief examiner this time is Han Zhiwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the only one present here who is qualified to follow the emperor's whim, so he bowed his hands to the two deputy chief examiners, "I will trouble you two here." Don't worry, I will go to see His Majesty in person."

The two of them hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Don't dare, please take this trip, sir!"

Han Zhishan looked at the rest of the invigilators again, and found that everyone looked eagerly looking forward to it, so he nodded in satisfaction, tidied up his official uniforms with his hands, held Jia Cong's exam papers in his own hands, and followed Su Jiuxiang Go to the palace.

I was still thinking in my heart, I knew that Jia Cong was valued by His Majesty, but I didn't know that it was so important. As soon as the examination papers were handed in, His Majesty had already asked His Majesty personally, but he was so honored at such a young age, so I don't know whether it is good or bad. As his teacher, I still have to mention something in the future, and it will save him from being young and less stable.

The Gongyuan was not far from the palace, and the two of them arrived there very quickly. After Su Jiujin reported it, Tu Rui soon informed Han Zhiwen.

After the big ceremony, he respectfully held up Jia Cong's second test paper and explained the reason why he didn't get the first test paper.

Tu Rui is not a fool, but he just didn't think of it for a while just now to make things difficult for others. Now that Han Zhiwen explained the reason, he also waved his hand to express his indifference.

Sitting on the dragon chair, he opened Jia Cong's paper and read it.

He has read Jia Cong's handwriting. Needless to say, his writing is strong and strong. It is rare that he has his own unique style at a young age. As soon as the scroll is unfolded, before he even begins to read the article, he already feels a sense of agility. Come on, if this is a serious examination, I believe that as long as the content of the article is not too off topic, the examiner will not have the heart to dismiss it!

Tu Rui couldn't help admiring the writing for a while, and it seemed that it had grown a little bit compared to the end of last year. I believe it should be the same in the painting, thinking about when to ask my brother to send me some more.

After reading the article again, I finished all three articles, and my heart was full of surprise. I didn't expect this little guy to write so fast. No wonder he left the examination room now. It seems that he was underestimated before.

After reading it carefully, he was even more surprised. He always knew that Jia Cong was smart, but he only thought it was some cleverness. He came up with a few good ideas and luckily got a few good prescriptions, but it was others who did it. Show his own strength.

Now after reading these few articles, I realize that I have really underestimated this child. The three articles are full of words, and many opinions coincide with my own.

Especially in the third chapter "Ping Rong Ce", many of the methods in it have never been proposed by anyone, especially the sentence "laws are impermanent, laws change from time to time", which is even more deeply rooted in his heart.

From this article, it can be concluded that this child should often think about such things at home, and it is no wonder that these three articles were completed in such a short period of time.

After reading it several times in a row, I felt more and more joyful in my heart. I had the urge to announce people into the palace now and discuss them face to face. When I looked up, I realized that Han Zhiwen was still there?

Even if he is the emperor, he feels a little embarrassed to leave an important minister there like this, without giving him tea.

Coughing dryly, he yelled at the little eunuch serving below, "I don't know how to get Han Aiqing a cup of tea!"

The little eunuch went to serve tea and sit down with a bitter face.

Han Zhiwen, on the other hand, smiled and said, "The old minister saw that His Majesty read these three papers several times, and his expression of reluctance and shock was evident.

The old minister boldly speculated that the words written by Jia Cong should be deafening.If this is the case, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on getting another good talent and quality here.

Hey, the old minister can get this opportunity to witness this matter, not to mention standing for such a short time, even standing for three days and three nights, I am very happy. "

Although Tu Rui knew that these old guys facing up, no matter how clumsy they were usually, when they really wanted to flatter or should flatter, they would never fall behind.

Even so, he was very happy to be photographed, and smiled and asked the little eunuch to hold the three papers to Han Zhiwen, "If you don't mind Aiqing, let's take a look first!"

Han Zhiwen is also a person who loves writing. When he saw the pen and ink on the article, he couldn't help cheering. Then he took the paper under his nose and sniffed it lightly. Then he turned to the emperor and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, other gentlemen Not to mention, just because of this word and ink, this old minister is committed!"

Tu Rui laughed "haha" twice, with a very happy expression on his face, it can be seen that he didn't intend to stop him.

Let's not mention for the time being that after Han Zhiwen read a few articles, how this monarch and minister talked about it enthusiastically afterwards.

Here, Tu Su hurried out of the palace, disliked the slow speed of the carriage, brought two eunuchs who were close to him, randomly asked for a few horses at the gate of the palace, and rode the horses back to the palace.

When he entered the room, Jia Cong was already lying on the soft couch next to the bed and had a terrible sleep, but the quilt on his body was covered by Fei because he was afraid that he would get sick.

Seeing the young boy's little face flushed in sleep, Tu Su couldn't bear to wake him up, but how could he sleep comfortably on this couch?

Walking forward, hugging the person with the quilt in his arms, turned around and put them on the soft bed together.

Jia Cong may have felt that the sleeping place had been changed, and rolled back and forth a few times, rubbing his exposed head non-stop, and finally found a comfortable place to continue sleeping.

Seeing his cute appearance, Tufu couldn't help laughing out loud. In the past, the two were always separated, but at that time, most of them were sent by the emperor's brother on errands, and the young man stayed in Jia's mansion well. There are also longings, but they are not so strong because they clearly know that this person is living a good life, has not suffered hardships and is not in danger.

This time it is different, the time of Chun Wei is set too early, and every year some people will fall ill or even die because of their weak body and cannot bear the cold. In his eyes, although the young man has also practiced martial arts, he has insisted on doing morning exercises every few years. , but maybe because it is a premature baby, it is not considered strong no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, these days his mind is tense. Before the exam, he even thought about stealing the exam questions for him, just so that he could relax after reading it. However, blame him for being unlucky, Unexpectedly, he was caught by the emperor's brother, not only failed to achieve the goal, but also threatened him not to disturb Brother Cong's exam, if not, he would have gone to see him after the first exam.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at Brother Cong's sleeping face and giggling for a while, he yawned uncontrollably and felt sleepy.

He simply took off his robe, burrowed into the bed, directly embraced him, and fell asleep after a few breaths.
