Imperial Exam Daily

When Yang Ye woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. The illness came quietly. He was in good health and went away quickly. He didn't need to linger on the sick bed.

He got up early, and everyone was still asleep, so he boiled some hot water and took a shower, and his whole body felt more relaxed and comfortable.

After tidying himself up, he saw the medicine and a letter on the table. He hurriedly took the medicine away, and couldn't wait to open the envelope. The handwriting was beautiful, and it was in Axi's handwriting. There were three pages in total, and he couldn't stop reading it carefully. Three times, the smile on his face gradually grew.

Ah Xi said in the letter that everything is fine at home, he practiced his studies diligently, suddenly he had a breakthrough, and now his stuttering has been greatly relieved, the letters were mostly trivial things, but Yang Ye wished it would be longer, You can read more time.

There is no date on the letter, and I don't know when it arrived in the capital.

After reading the letter, he excitedly replied a letter, explaining his situation in Beijing and the matter of the exam. His family was worried, and he kept silent about this illness.

Just when the letter was finished, Li Cheng and Wen Han came.

He fell asleep yesterday, but the two of them were so anxious that they invited the doctor to see him and said that he had a fever and that he could rest more. After the medicine was prescribed, he went there. Seeing that he was asleep, he didn't bother him. Today Come early to see how people are doing.

Seeing that he was alive and well, the two were relieved, but their tone was still very careful. After all, he suffered a serious illness after leaving the Gongyuan. It is very likely that the exam was not satisfactory. It is also unsatisfactory.

And the doctor just came to see it yesterday, and he just left...

"Scholar Song came on the back foot, took a look at Brother Yang, and left again."

Seeing Mr. Song coming yesterday, Li Cheng had already told Wen Han about their relationship. When Mr. Song saw that Yang Ye was sick, his complexion immediately became unsightly. Originally, he was very fond of Yang Ye, but now he is probably gone. Losing confidence, he missed the rich and powerful while in a coma. He was afraid that Yang Ye would not be able to accept it when he woke up, so he said it very tactfully.

When Yang Ye opened his eyes, Wen Han thought he was not feeling well, and after looking at Li Cheng, he quickly comforted him: "Master Song didn't say anything, brother Yang came to the door to explain it to him, I think he will understand .”

Yang Ye was not uncomfortable, he was completely shocked and happy. He was worried about how to reveal to Song Tingyou about his abnormal performance without any trace, but Song Tingyou couldn't hold back and came to him after the exam. Look at it He looks sick, needless to say, he must have a bottom line in his heart.

Yang Ye was in a good mood, but he still had to suppress it: "I will come to apologize to Mr. Song, but it makes you two worry. The exams have been exhausting, and I finally got out of the Gongyuan. If I didn't think about it, I still have to worry about it. troubles."

"There's no need to talk about this between us. It's just that you have always been healthy. How can you say that you are sick? The conditions of the last home test were much worse than this. I didn't see you feeling unwell."

Yang Ye paused and said: "It's strange to say, I don't know how it happened, I didn't feel comfortable soon after I entered the Gongyuan, I held up Gong's number plate several times, the first few days of the exam, my body was almost exhausted, and when I got better After getting better, I was unlucky and caught a cold."

Wen Han was vigilant and said: "If the body is weak, Chunri is very easy to catch the wind and cold. It's just that it's not comfortable, but it hurts the stomach after eating before the exam?"

"The night before the exam, you went to a banquet with me. You may have a bad stomach, but the meals during the banquet are all light food. Under such circumstances, you must not be able to eat anything. There is no reason to do so." It's bad." Li Cheng's brows tightened: "Think about it carefully, is there anything wrong?"

Yang Ye took advantage of the situation and said, "I really didn't eat any food, but I only drank a cup of tea from Sun Liaoran."

"She was so arrogant back then, how could she pour tea out of good intentions!" Li Cheng said angrily, "I'm afraid it was that damn girl who played tricks and deliberately disturbed your exam!"

Before the township examination, I had heard of such a thing. Candidates were jealous of candidates who were better than themselves and secretly tripped them up. They were cautious in the past, but they never encountered such a miserable thing. Li Cheng was very guilty: "Song Yiyu said that my cousin wanted to see you that day, so we had to go. Unexpectedly, my cousin was not there. When I went, I was entangled by Song Miao. I lost my way for a while. I didn't expect them to be I want to kill you!"

Yang Ye waved his hand. His purpose was not to make Li Cheng feel guilty. Although he told a lie and didn't hurt his stomach during the exam, it was also because he heard the conversation between Song Miao and Sun Liaoran. After the dinner, He took the tea crumbs in the teacup and went to find the doctor. It was a strong laxative. The doctor said that the laxative had a late onset but could last for three or four days. If he really took it, he would have to throw away half of it. life.

"Forget it, it's all over. Although I haven't played to my usual level, I still try to answer everything I can."

Wen Han said: "The test questions this time are of great benefit to us, who would have thought that these things would happen, it's really a trick of fate!"

Yang Ye comforted the two of them, and then sent out the letter to Axi, and then went to Song Mansion with Li Cheng.

Speaking of which, he also felt that it was very difficult for him, and he got to act in front of Song Tingyou again.

Many of the mansions of Beijing officials are located in secluded streets, so they are quiet to live in, and the mansions of high officials occupy a large area, so it is not convenient to be on the main street.

When Yang Ye arrived at the gate of the scholar's mansion, Fang Zhi's mansion had a sense of weight and grandeur, which was not comparable to ordinary private houses. The garden corridors revealed the demeanor of officials everywhere.

With Li Cheng together, it was easy to get in, otherwise he would have to report when he came alone, which would be a lot of trouble.

Seeing that Yang Ye was dazzled, Li Cheng shook his fan and tilted his head and whispered: "Don't look at the carved beams and paintings everywhere in the scholar's mansion, the average Beijing official doesn't have so much money, if it wasn't for my father's financial support all the year round, how could he be so rich. I tell you this to let you know that you are my good friend, even if my uncle is dissatisfied and unhappy, he still has to give me some face, the worst is just to break up immediately, with your talent, you are not afraid that you will not be able to find me. Don't worry too much when you get to the backer."

Yang Ye's brows tightened, only to realize that Li Cheng and the Song family's true origins were covered under the mask of relatives, but the Li family relied on the Song family's official position to protect the Song family, and the Song family relied on the Li family's wealth to support their appearance. It can be said that relatives and friends have mutual affection Helping can also be said to be mutual use.

It is true that the words are true, many relationships that seem unbreakable on the surface are actually rotten in the dark.

But hearing Li Cheng's words, his heart warmed up secretly. Li Cheng treats each other with sincerity. It is really luck that he can make such friends. In time, he will definitely explain his relationship with the Song family to him.

Song Tingyou met Yang Ye in the side hall, and Song Tingyou sent Li Cheng away when the two entered the hall, and then he and Yang Ye were the only ones in the hall before asking in a slow voice, "Are you sure about this test?"

Yang Ye bowed his head, seeing that the servants who came this time didn't even pour a cup of tea, so he knew Song Tingyou's attitude.

With a heartbroken expression on his face, he told about his fever and diarrhea, and then said: "It was Xiaosheng who failed the adults' expectations, but this encounter was really unexpected, and I hope the adults will give Xiaosheng another chance. "

Song Tingyou sat in a high position, completely lost the attitude of the past, and said with a smile: "Opportunity? You refer to it so many times. In the past, you knew how to avoid it, and you never let anyone hurt you. Now you have a test, but you have been plotted by someone. How can it be?" With such a coincidence, the old man is just trying to defend himself when he sees you!"

Yang Ye cupped his hands: "My lord, Xiaosheng knows that his performance is abnormal in this test, and after three years, Xiaosheng will definitely give you a satisfactory result!"

"I've been waiting for you for three years. I'm afraid you've lost all scholars in the great Ji Dynasty! You're still brazenly thinking that I'll give you another chance! I thought you were interesting in the past, but now I realize that you're just an ordinary person!"

Song Tingyou was furious. The new emperor had been on the throne for less than three years. Back then, he was just an inconspicuous prince. There were only a handful of courtiers who supported him. Now that he is in power, he might take away the courtiers who offended him in the past. People in the court are in panic , everyone is anxious to stabilize their positions, this is the first test of Xindi's succession, the emperor will definitely reuse the new ministers he has selected, those old foxes in the court have long-sightedness and started to win over these scholars early .

He thought he was quick and lucky to have picked up a promising person in Qiping City. After the exam, he bent down to ask Yang Ye about the exam result, but he didn't say anything, but saw the sick and muddy person instead.

After all, he was a countryman who couldn't stand the big scene, but in response to Song Yiyu's words, luck made Yang Ye get up, and he was vulnerable in the face of the real test, but he was so angry!

He thought about it last night, and there was indeed an accident. Mrs. Yang has learned some talents, and the exam has not yet been released, maybe things will turn around.

But thinking about it carefully, Yang's sickness is definitely impossible to win the top spot. He has seen too many candidates in these years, and taking the test is no joke. How can he compete with thousands of candidates with a sick body? If he got into the list by luck, so what, if it wasn't for the first place, the emperor would definitely not pay attention to it, and he would not pay more attention to it in the palace examination, and if he helped a scholar who had a mediocre response in the examination, he might be laughed at in vain.

He really can't afford to gamble on the nameless person. If he can't help the Song family in the court in the future, his thoughts will be in vain. It's better to focus on Li Cheng now.

Furthermore, I heard from Miaomiao that that girl Sun Liaoran didn't look down on Mrs. Yang, and she was crying and arguing with his father because of this matter. It's really hard to handle, so he has to get rid of her completely, so as to save the future. Bu Yi Bu Rao wanted to cling to the Song family.

"As far as the end is concerned, if you are more knowledgeable, you will know the four characters of getting together and getting together, and then you are not allowed to pester Liao Ran again. If you don't know what is good or bad, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

Yang Ye's face was miserable, but his heart was full of joy. The Song family's mercenary attitude was clearly displayed in front of a scholar. If he hadn't been powerless, he probably wouldn't have looked down on such a situation.

He showed a look of humiliation, straightened his back and showed the nobility of a scholar, and said angrily: "I never thought that my lord would be so unreasonable, and he would not forgive even a momentary loss. Xiaosheng just pretends that he has never been to this scholar's mansion. After all, it is a young student who cannot climb the lintel of the scholar's house, and at that time, the adults must be impressed!"

Song Tingyou squinted his eyes and sneered, "You are so frivolous, a scholar! I want to see who else in the court will recruit you for someone who has been abandoned by the Song family! If you really impress me in the future, The old man will not look twice!"

Before Yang Ye could say anything, Song Tingyou called out to his servants, "Get this man out!"

Yang Ye walked out of the Song Mansion with calm steps, and when he got out of the mansion, he almost floated on the street.

Now it is Song Tingyou who voluntarily gave up on him, not because he refused to recruit him. In the past, Song Tingyou felt that he was a talent that could be created. If he refused his recruitment, Song Tingyou was afraid that he would not be able to use him as if he had entered someone else's family. Make a trip.

But right now, in the eyes of the Song University scholar, he is just a frivolous but useless person. As he said, the scholars who are recruited by the scholar's office and then useless, I am afraid that the people in the court will also think that he is useless, and there must be no one She has the intention of wooing him, so although she lost the opportunity to find a backer, she doesn't have to act according to people's faces, and she doesn't have to accept his arbitrary arrangements for marriage.

There are two sides to the matter. While losing the opportunity, he also lost a lot of troubles. As for the matter of backing, he really has no thoughts at the moment, and only waits for the future.

His illness was really timely, and it completely saved him!

…………

Li Cheng was fidgeting in the backyard, and when he heard that the servants said that Yang Ye had been invited out, he was very angry, so he went straight to find Song Tingyou.

"My cousin treats my friend like this, it's really chilling!"

Song Tingyou's anger hadn't slowed down yet, when he saw Li Cheng aggressively coming to talk back, he was even more annoyed: "Young spirit, what do you know, useless people will only be a burden! In the future, you should keep less contact with them, I will give you Your father will explain!"

"My cousin doesn't need to worry about my affairs! Sun Liaoran can't get away from Yang Ye making a mistake in the trial!"

After finishing speaking, Li Cheng went out angrily.

Song Tingyou raised his hand and waved the teacup to the ground: "Eat inside and out! Prepare a letter, this old man will write a letter to Li Yuan!"

Yang Ye stood on the main street for a quarter of an hour, and after a short while, he really saw Li Cheng walking towards him with a sullen face, he stopped him from behind and said, "Young Master Li's expression this time is detrimental to Yushu's handsome face. "

Li Cheng raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Yang Ye standing at the door of a shop with a playful smile, his expression was not like a dog in the water who was kicked out, but he seemed to be kicked out.

He laughed angrily: "You have a good heart!"

"How can it be bad? Don't say that Mr. Song won't let me marry Sun Liaoran now. Even if I become prosperous in the future, he won't pay more attention to me. I'm in a good mood now, but it's troublesome Mr. Li to marry Song Liao for me. My lord blushed and had a thick neck."

Li Cheng still doubted: "Are you okay?"

"What's the matter." Yang Ye put his arm around Li Cheng's shoulders: "Come on, let's go, Wen Han is still worried. Go back and drink a cup of wine, this matter is over, and I won't mention it in the future. The two of you seem to have done well in the exam this time, so you have to prepare well for the palace exam."

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, after staying with open-minded people for a long time, he also became open-minded.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and there were only two days until the release of the results. Wen Han and Li Cheng were a little nervous. After all, this exam was about their future, and they felt that they did well in the exam. Naturally, their expectations for the exam results were higher. bigger.

Although Yang Ye was not as eager as the two of them, he was also a little nervous. He was also worried that he would really fail the ranking. Just when the three of them were in their own worries, a guest suddenly came to the small house.

"I heard that there is a candidate named Yang Ye living here? Is there such a thing?"

When the visitor asked this question, Yang Ye just came back from the street, and was asked seriously. He looked at the man in his forties in front of him. He said politely, "Xiaosheng is Yang Ye. I don't know why sir is looking for Xiaosheng?"

The man smiled gently, and did not answer his question, but instead said: "He is a handsome scholar."

..........

Yang Ye rode lightly all the way in the soft sedan chair, got out of the sedan chair, and still felt very dizzy when looking at the large expanse of red walls and glazed tiles.

Why would the emperor summon him, a commoner scholar?

At the gate of the house, I saw the gold-plated Shaofu badge shown by the man, and I almost scared him out of my mind. The well-behaved second-rank official suddenly came to the door. Everything without warning really made him uneasy, but after he explained his purpose , he was even more disturbed.

Right now he was wearing the clothes of a servant. Obviously, the emperor still wanted to see him secretly.

He was very confused, he didn't know whether this summoning was good or bad, he didn't know whether it was a problem with his examination paper, or Song Tingyou made a stumbling block, but when he thought about it carefully, no matter which one it was, it would not be possible for the emperor to meet him in person ah!

Just when he was full of doubts, Master Shao Fu, who had been leading him all the time, suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Elder Qiao, the man has already arrived, but the emperor only asked the old minister to bring him, and he never said that he wanted to see the old man. You have to trouble your father-in-law to bring him in."

"Master Shao Fu is polite, slaves should do things as they should."

Shao Fu turned around and said to Yang Ye: "When you see the emperor, you still need to be cautious in your words and deeds, but you don't have to panic, our current emperor treats people leniently."

Yang Ye nodded, then hugged the sweeping eunuch and led him into the door. He lowered his head and followed the eunuch cautiously.

After entering the door, the eunuch did not enter the inner hall, but whispered behind the bright yellow curtain: "Your Majesty, Master Shao Fu has already brought you here."

After a while, a voice came from the hall: "Let him in."

Yang Ye sounded quite young when he heard his voice. After entering the hall in a regular manner, he knelt down and saluted according to the rules that Shao Fu said on the road: "Student Yang Ye kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

No sound came from above his head, and Yang Ye didn't dare to move, just knelt on the ground like that.

It took a while before he heard the sound of the ensemble, followed by another voice: "Get up."

Even if he got up, Yang Ye couldn't look up at the emperor, he had to lower his gaze.

"You are Yang Ye?" The person sitting on the dragon chair on the desk glanced at Yang Ye, and then said: "I thought he was an old candidate, but I never thought he was a young man. You know why I want to Summon you?"

Yang Ye replied politely and honestly: "The students don't know."

"I read your exam papers and asked how to solve the disaster victims. You even boldly let the people cook locusts. Do you know that there are ordinary people who worship locusts as gods?"

"Back to the emperor, the students know. But the students don't think locusts are gods. If they are gods, why don't they protect the people and make them suffer. The reason why the people regard locusts as gods is just because It’s just that the locusts can’t be eliminated. And during the locust plague, the people have no food harvest, cooking the locusts can indeed relieve the urgent need.”

The people on the counter heard the words and suddenly came down. Yang Ye saw the bright yellow dragon robe and took a deep breath.

Just when Yang Ye was worried, wondering if his answer would offend Longyan, he actually heard the emperor say: "Go down."

Yang Ye:? ? ?

Even though he was full of doubts, he saluted, bowed his body slightly and took a few steps back, and looked up at Long Yan when he entered the door. The emperor was indeed very young, but a man in his twenties.

It is said that the holy will is difficult to guess, and today he can be considered to have experienced it.

After Yang Ye went out, Shao Fu was called in again, and now he was waiting outside. It was approaching April, and although the sun was shining, the sun was not high after all. It is much better to talk to the emperor in the hall, so you don't have to worry about it.

"How does Young Master feel about this scholar?"

"The people the emperor likes are naturally excellent."

The emperor laughed lightly: "Throughout the ages, talented and learned people have been quite unruly and eccentric, and I see scholars are probably the same."

Shao Fu asked, "Where did the emperor say that?"

The emperor threw the two examination papers in the past, and when Shao Fu unfolded the answer papers to read, the emperor said: "There will be three examinations, and the candidates in the first two examinations are very sloppy. Jumped out from the crowd of candidates."

"Look at what he wrote. Ordinary candidates wrote about using arsenic to control locusts. He wrote about using lime and water. Ordinary candidates wrote about using fire when locusts flooded. He wrote about planting grass and trees to reduce the bare land. If you say He made it up and made it up, but he was able to justify himself."

Shao Fu laughed when he saw it: "It's no wonder that the emperor wants to see him. He is really different from ordinary candidates. If these methods are effective, I can give it a try."

"But the meaning of these poems and scriptures is really inferior. Maybe this person is really not good at the things in the books, but he is better at practical things."

The emperor shook his head: "I have seen the answer sheet of his country test. The poems and proses on his answer sheet at the time of the country test are completely different from the present one."

Shao Fu immediately understood what the emperor meant: this examinee is talented, but this talented person is unruly, deliberately doing basic questions and tricks in the exam, and only showing his splendor in current affairs, this behavior displeased the emperor .

He said: "Then what is the emperor's plan?"

"A total of 99 candidates from various provinces were admitted in this general examination. I corrected the answer sheets according to my wishes. Yang Ye's answer sheet can be ranked in the top ten. It's just that this person is too aggressive. If he doesn't polish it well, he will not be able to be hired in the future." The emperor said. Xiang Shaofu, with a half smile but not a smile: "Move his ranking to the bottom."

"Your Majesty's intentions this time can be said to be well-intentioned." Although Shao Fu had a smile on his face, he secretly said that Yang Ye was unlucky. The emperor was not happy, lost his good ranking in vain, small punishments and big punishments.

"Go on down, handle this matter well, don't let the old fox in the court know that this is what I mean."

"The minister obeys the order."

After the Tai Tuo went down, the emperor called the chief eunuch to him again: "Today I only saw Shao Fu, let the people below keep their mouths shut."
