[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Wang Ren didn't wake up until the afternoon. When he came out of the back room, he happened to see Shisan coming back from the study.

"Are you awake? There are side dishes prepared in the kitchen, do you want to eat now?" Shisan asked.

Wang Ren nodded, and only after the feeling of waking up from the daze passed did he remember to ask Long Kedo about it.When Shisan heard Wang Ren's question, his body froze for a moment, and he said, "It's nothing, it's just for the merits of the dragon."

Wang Ren frowned slightly, and asked, "Then did he say anything else, such as offering advice?"

Thirteen shook his head.

Wang Ren sat at the table in doubt, but there was no... This is not like Longkodo's character.

At the end of March, the list has been released.Generally speaking, as long as there is no major mistake in the palace examination, one can pass the palace examination and become a Jinshi.It's just that whether he can be appreciated by the emperor, this palace test is the last fight.After the palace examination, the possibility of seeing the emperor is very slim.Many Jinshi may only have the chance to see Tianyan once in the palace examination.Therefore, after learning that they had won the imperial examination, all the tribute scholars worked hard to read the books, striving to be a blockbuster in the palace examination.

At the beginning of April, it was time for the palace examination.The procedure of the palace examination is more complicated. In order to prevent impostors and the like from appearing, it is guaranteed that all those who come to the palace examination are talented people with real materials. myself.Then these people will be registered in the register, and the real palace test will be held after the emperor's visit in a few days.The palace examination only examines policy questions, and the emperor will give questions on the same day.Candidates enter at dawn, go through the etiquette of roll call, loose papers, praise, salute, etc., and then issue policy questions.Just like some modern political application questions, sometimes this question will have hundreds of words, explain the problem in detail, and then the examinee will answer it on paper.Because there are few topics, only this one.Therefore, the exam time is also short, but only an hour.After the exam is over, these questionnaires are handed over to several graders in the court for reading in turn. It is best to draw a circle, generally it is best to draw a triangle, a mediocre answer is a slash, and a bad answer is a cross.The ten exam papers with the most circles drawn on the exam papers will be handed over to the emperor, who will read them in person and determine the top three from the ten.As long as there are no more than three crosses on the paper, it is not a failure.

Soon, the ten copies were sorted out and handed over to the emperor. As the person who picked out the ten test papers, Wang Ren naturally read the names of the ten test papers, and one of them was Jia Lan, who got six circles. .

Wang Ren silently handed the ten test papers to His Majesty. Kangxi opened the ten test papers and looked down.

The ministers and students stood together below, and everyone waited silently for the result of Kangxi's judgment.

Half an hour later, the ten test papers were finally finished. Kangxi smiled and said to the chief examiner and Wang Ren: "There are many talented people in this class of students. The two loves have done a good job."

Wang Ren and the examiner with a gray beard stood up immediately to thank them.

"The judges are also very fair." Kangxi continued, "Then follow the opinions of all the lovers. The one that is considered by all the lovers to be a good work is the champion." Kangxi clicked on the painting with eight The circled test paper said.

"Yangzhou Li Yan, where is it?" Kangxi asked.

A man wearing a light gray robe quickly stood up and bowed his head: "Caomin is here."

"Head up."

The young man paused and raised his head slowly, but his eyes still did not dare to look directly at the emperor. It was correct and prudent for him to do so. It is disrespectful to look directly at the emperor when they meet in the Qing Dynasty, and it is absolutely not allowed unless permission is given. .

"The appearance is also very handsome." Kangxi praised.

Wang Ren: ...

Kangxi praised him again, and then named him the number one scholar, and threw him to the Imperial Academy to help sort out the books.Li Yan from Yangzhou came from a grassroots background, and his family was a small landlord with a few acres of thin land. However, in the countryside, he was still praised as a wealthy family, but in the capital, he was nothing.Therefore, it is not wrong to say that it is a grassroots origin.Afterwards, the second place was the son of a family, the grandson of an old minister in the court, but he was a bastard.But if the bastard becomes prosperous and goes out to live alone, he can also become the master and continue the new family. At that time, the status of the bastard will not matter.

As for Tanhua, it turned out to be Jia Lan from the Jia family.

After the top three came out, the list of the top three and the top three has also been ranked here. Kangxi randomly selected a few people's test papers from it for a rough look, and then asked the chief examiner and Wang Ren to post the list. It's the end.As for the second and third grades, if they want to become an official, they have to go through other procedures, but that is not something that Wang Ren will manage.

If it hadn't been for Kangxi's dissatisfaction with many people in the Imperial Academy who were friendly with the eighth elder brother, the job of the invigilator would not have fallen to Wang Ren.But these two consecutive months of busy work were not fruitless. After the imperial examination ended, the three first-class Jinshi, after greeting the chief examiner, all came to Wang Ren in unison, blocking Wang Ren's way home. .

Looking at the admiration in the eyes of these three people, Wang Ren was a little confused. These three people...could be treating him as a benefactor!

"My humble Li Yan, whose name is Kang Ning." The number one scholar in front spoke first, "I've heard of Mr. Wang's virtuous name a long time ago, and it's a great fortune to meet you today."

Wang Ren: ==

"Wang Haoyuan is not talented, and his writing is elegant." The second place in the list also said, "It is really Wang's luck to be able to worship under the lord."

Wang Ren: Let's get started?

"Yu Jialan, whose name is Shangde." Jia Lan blushed slightly, "In the future, Yu plans to leave Jia's mansion with his mother and live alone..."

Wang Ren: Can you tell the difference, or does it have something to do with me? !

"Everyone has misunderstood, I'm just the deputy invigilator." Wang Ren explained.And he was not born in the imperial examination!No need to accept any disciples!This year's Jinshi should be the protégé of the chief examiner!

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Jia Lan stood up and said hesitantly: "This... the examiner said that he plans to resign and return to his hometown next month. Come to find you, my lord."

Wang Ren: ...

Wang Ren turned his head to look at the chief examiner with a gray beard. He noticed Wang Ren's gaze, smiled at him and cupped his hands.For some reason, in Wang Ren's eyes, the invigilator's smile was slightly sinister.

He is simply pushing this group of people in front of him, and then he will be clean!Who doesn't know that the current situation in the court is too chaotic, and it is best to be careful when forming cliques.Many invigilators and gatekeepers were happy and trembling at the same time. This old man thought he was going home and didn't want to get into trouble, so he pushed it all to himself!

Seeing that Wang Ren was at a loss, the three of them glanced at each other and bid farewell to Wang Ren.This is a popular person in front of the emperor. Although he has little power in the court, he has the right to speak, so these people are pushed here willingly.It's all about Enmen, so what's the rush.We will communicate slowly in the future.Jia Lan also returned home excitedly, but Jia Baoyu, who was in the top three, was nowhere to be seen. It will be another story to see him who has become a monk after a few months.

Inexplicably, Wang Ren, who had a bunch of more disciples, had a stiff expression when he returned home.

Inadvertently, Wang Ren got a few more "sponsors" for the fourth master, but he didn't know it.

It has been more than a year since the Costin incident, and the eighth elder brother's health has also improved and he is no longer lingering in the sick bed, and can finally come out to see people.He also knew in his heart that since then, the possibility of him becoming a great treasure has been reduced to zero.He never thought that his failure was only because of two eagles.Ridiculous.And he finally accepted the fact that he was hopeless, isn't Fourteen very hopeful.Moreover, Shisi has a very good relationship with him, and he once contradicted the emperor for him. From this, it can be seen that if Shishi becomes the emperor, the eighth elder brother will definitely have a very easy life.Therefore, he recommended the fourteenth elder brother to the emperor together with the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers.It would be fine if he didn't speak up, but recommending Elder Fourteen at this stall made the emperor suspicious of Fourteen.Recently, Kangxi was tossed by these princes, and all of them had persecution paranoia.Seeing that any son feels that he has no good intentions for him, he must think about whether they are trying to usurp the throne in everything he does.Perhaps this is a common problem of aging emperors.

Wang Ren really wanted to give Eighth Brother a thumbs up and say thank you.

From the prince to the elder brother, and then the eighth elder brother himself.Did he never see why he was rejected by Kangxi?

It's a sin to be too high-profile!

Especially the ninth elder brother, who is still in a hurry to make armaments for the fourteenth elder brother who is the general.As an elder brother, doing this can indeed be said to be a way of caring for his younger brother, and it also increases the armament of the Qing army to resist foreign enemies.Then in this sensitive period to prepare armaments for the fourteenth elder brother, Kangxi became even more defensive about the fourteenth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother got up from the hospital bed, which also meant that the secrets of Wang Ren and Shisan were no longer safe.Wang Ren will continue to be threatened by the eighth elder brother.

Sure enough, just as Wang Ren expected, in order to create momentum for the fourteenth elder brother, the eighth elder brother asked Wang Ren to do something to divert Kangxi's attention.He has already found out that Kangxi is dissatisfied because the ninth elder brother tossed the fourteenth elder brother's armaments without authorization.And now he also knows that his father's favor is really limited, and there are so many things that Kangxi hates, and one day he will end up like the prince, elder brother and himself.

The best way to divert Kangxi's attention is to let another elder brother give birth to something that Kangxi hates and dreads more than privately building armaments. This candidate was selected by the eighth elder brother and felt that he was once the prince. Party 1 Yu, and the fourth elder brother who I have the most trouble with is the most suitable.So he asked Wang Ren to frame the fourth elder brother, and then stabbed the matter to the emperor to make things worse.Of course, Wang Ren would not really do such a thing.So he played yang feng yin vii.On the surface, he responded very happily, and asked about the whole process of the frame-up, claiming that it was for better cooperation.Originally, the eighth elder brother was very satisfied with Wang Ren's knowledge, but

【Text·Continued】

Originally, the eighth elder brother was very satisfied with Wang Ren's knowledge, but after a few days, he was surprised to find that the fourth elder brother hadn't fallen into the trap, and the person who had fallen into the trap was also solved without anyone noticing.Although there is no trace of who did it, it is enough for the eighth elder brother to suspect Wang Ren.So he went to ask, and Wang Ren also admitted.The answer he gave was: Now that he knows that Shisan and I are together, where does Ba Ye have the confidence to think that I will frame Shisan's closest fourth brother?

At that time, Wang Ren's contemptuous little eyes and angry eighth elder brother almost flipped the table.

The eighth brother asked Wang Ren if he was not afraid that he would tell his father the secret of Wang Ren and Shisan, but Wang Ren just remained silent and did not answer.A face of 'say what you want to say'.The eighth elder brother was furious, but after thinking about it carefully, he laughed again.He just needed to divert his father's attention. Isn't the news of the relationship between Shisan and Wang Ren the right thing to make his father angry and temporarily forget his fourteenth brother?

It would be great if the father could lose his temper with the thirteenth brother because of this, and the fourth son begged for mercy for the thirteenth brother but was restrained by the father because of his anger.
