I write novels in the East Palace

Fang Guanyan said it was difficult, and after a few days the list was released, and his name was at the top of the list.

On the day when the score statistics came out, his test paper had been circulated in the hands of the marking team before it was finally presented to the emperor's desk. He scored full marks in the three subjects of astronomy, geography and history, ranking first in arithmetic, second in classical Chinese, and third in policy theory. Jie Xiong is ten times taller.

Yu Zhongling was so happy these few days, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth all day long, and he told everyone that Li Fanyuan was going to have a number one scholar.

Speaking of Li Jiexiong, it's really interesting, he speaks very well, but he is also really capable.

When reviewing the enthronement results, the review team specially called Zhou Chengyi and Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to take a look. This person actually made that innovative additional question in classical Chinese, and he answered it quite well. It was definitely a high score in the audience. kind of.

What he put forward turned out to be the idea of ​​electricity in "Poor Scholar Farming". He thought of lightning reasonably, and then associated with creating a usable "lightning".The most commendable thing is that he is not talking empty words out of imagination, but is really trying to experiment.

But unfortunately, because his direction was wrong, he didn't succeed.

Zhou Chengyi mainly looked at his experimental procedures, so he called him a good guy, and couldn't help muttering, "This man is really desperate."

A few days ago, there was continuous spring rain in Chang'an, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and it was scary to see lightning and thunder in the sky, and the heavy rain caused the moat to surge. In the usual lush Chang'an, almost every house was closed and the market was closed. This Li Jie Xiong did the opposite, chasing the hideous light and thunder in the sky all day long, drilling into the center of the clouds and rain.

He also flipped through ancient books, and specially asked someone to beat a fishbone-shaped copper plate and hold it high in his hand to try to attract thunder.

Fortunately, it was not successful, otherwise this person would have been turned into a charred corpse and buried in the wilderness, how could he speak harshly to the reporter and go to the test.

"He's a ruthless person." Zhou Chengyi didn't comment on his article, but he admired him a lot. With such a desperate scientific research spirit, no matter what he did, he couldn't succeed.

Jiang Shangshu is also happy to see Lie.

Markers are the first to deeply understand how correct it is to add those seemingly nonsensical subjects. Although there are more subjects in the usual test, but the careful planning is all about the text. Now such a score, instantly It is more precise to identify talents in which aspect, and it is also convenient for various institutions in the DPRK and China to select talents.

For example, there is a person who can rank in the top ten in a single subject of arithmetic, can barely read other subjects, and is directly pulled to the bottom of the top two. Chu Shangshu almost picked it at a glance, "Such sensitive to numbers will definitely settle accounts. Who is better than my household department?"

"There is also our Ministry of Industry." Jiang Shangshu snatched people directly, "Isn't it easy to settle accounts? Such talents are wasted by you, so you should come to our Ministry of Industry."

Chu Shangshu immediately quit, and angrily said, "Jiang Laipi, do you want to lose face? How many talents have your Ministry of Industry won over with an additional question? Then Li Jiexiong is still the second place! You are also robbing me at the end of the top two, you must Are you deliberately against me?"

"Your household department is short of people, and my industry department is also short of people. Naturally, each of these talents depends on their own abilities." Jiang Shangshu was unmoved, and he was completely undisturbed by Chu Shangshu's words.

Yu Zhongling pretended to persuade the quarrel in the middle, "Why are colleagues so quarrelsome, let's give in to each other."

"Humility? Why don't Yu Zhongling take the lead first?" Chu Shangshu glared at him, "I've seen Fang Guanyan as a talent, and there really is no shortage of talent in our household department. It's just the time when we need it. Don't you If you lend him to me for three to five years..."

Yu Zhongling sprayed the star on his face as soon as he spit.

However, there is more than one Chu Shangshu who wants to grab a house to watch Yan. Which of the six books does not covet the number one scholar?Even the unknown observatory stood up, "Astronomy and geography, this is the only one with a perfect score. No. 2 is more than [-] points behind. We really have no choice for the observatory."

It even sold out.

Yu Zhongling immediately rolled up his sleeves and put up a posture of fighting the Confucians, vowing to protect Fang Guanyan to the death.

Zhou Chengyi originally wanted to say a few words, but when they saw that they were arguing like this, he stopped silent, and just asked Jiang Shangshu what he thought of Li Jiexiong in silence.

Jiang Shangshu also withdrew from the battlefield long ago, and replied, "The way to choose a scholar is to put virtue first. Talent without virtue is not acceptable, and it is the best to have both ability and morality. Let's see how he handles the matter of women entering the court."

Obviously also know about Li Jiexiong.

"Daily News" publishes current affairs news. Prime Minister Fang specially created a column called "Chang'an Officials Column", which is published twice in seven days. He often asks officials to contribute articles or interviews, not limited to high officials and small ones.

For example, the first article was written by Grand Master Shen in the Internet, about the trial record of Nanshufang's educational reforms such as teacher evaluation, parent meeting, mid-term and final exams; the second article is an interview with a jailer from the Ministry of Punishment.

Later, Ye Shulang's poverty alleviation report; Zhong Liyue's biography introduction; Anyang Princess's parenting guide, etc. were also published.

In fact, Pei Yi also wrote an article "Recalling Ruchuan's Defeat 19 Years Ago". Simple and elegant, the plain and straightforward text can arouse people's resonance even more.

Zhou Chengyi doesn't really read the news very much. The newspapers that they think are good are not used to him who is used to seeing color printing. He doesn't even read the official newspapers in the imperial court very much. He only looks through them on a whim. topped.

Fang Guanyan sighed three times after reading this article, his expression was very complicated, this really aroused Zhou Chengyi's curiosity, so he also read it.

Among them, what impressed him the most was the part of defending the city.

[Beihu people captured the people in the city and shouted for battle outside. The defense in the city was empty. General Pei was trapped to death at the Narrow Pass. , King Ruchuan then killed Li Gan and led the only [-] soldiers in the city to defend the city. 】

[The ammunition and food are exhausted, only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled and three thousand wounded are left in the city. The 17-year-old Pei Ming took the blood-stained token and resolutely climbed onto the city wall. 】

[I have no way to describe the tragedy of that day. The tragedy is not that the blood flowed into rivers, but that an invisible sharp knife pierced the internal organs and stirred up the pain. wind. 】

[Because we did not want to fight, the beasts outside the city buried prisoners alive in front of us, tortured and killed civilians, raped and humiliated women.There is a sister who is about to reach Ji, with very big and bright eyes. She once gave Pei Ming wild flowers. I don't know that kind of flowers. I only heard people say that they express love and gratitude. 】

[Not only did I see her, I also saw many familiar faces, and her...my...]

[I saw their beastly behavior with my own eyes, and I felt my eyes were red. I begged Pei Ming to open the city gate and said that we would fight together. I called him brother, I begged him, I smashed my head, the gray bricks of the city wall It has my blood on it. 】

[Pei Ming said it couldn't be opened.I clearly remember the look in his eyes, like a wolf on the mountain, the hatred in his eyes is overwhelming, but he said that he can't open it, not only the people in the city will die, but the entire Cangzhou barrier will be torn open. 】

【"Ru Chuan can't be lost."】

[When I dream back at midnight, I can forget many things, but this sentence is deeply imprinted in my mind. 】

【...Everyone knows what happened later, I jumped off the city wall with a knife.Even today, I would still do the same thing. What Pei Ming made was the most correct decision, but I can't just stand by and watch people being tortured and killed because of our incompetence. I would rather die with them. 】

【It was Marshal Zhongli who came down from the sky to save us who were hopeless at that time. She was smiling when she closed her eyes, but I was hugging her in ragged clothes and scars, and the survivors in the city wall. cry bitterly. 】

From the point of view of writing, this article is quite immature, and some places are even unclear. The level of vernacular has directly caught up with modern online novels, but Zhou Chengyi's heart can't help but tighten when he reads it.

What Zhou Chengyi didn't expect was Fang Guanyan's last sentence, "The person Pei Ju is talking about is his biological mother."

It turned out that General Pei had married three wives in total, and the three brothers of the Pei family were all legitimate sons and were not born to the same mother.

When General Pei went out with the army, his wife gave birth to Pei Ming and died of bleeding. Later, the emperor married his second wife and gave birth to his second son, Pei Ju. She was the daughter of a general. , I have seen blood on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to end up like that.

After the second wife died, General Pei didn't want to marry another wife, but after all he couldn't hold back his own mother, so he married his distant cousin, who was Pei Ye's mother, and it took four years to consummate the marriage and give birth to Pei Ye.Not long after the old lady passed away, the two reconciled at the suggestion of the cousin, and the cousin finally got her wish and married the sweetheart who had been waiting for her for many years.

But because it was a distant marriage, both parties didn't want to disturb them, so they gradually broke off contact.

After that, those who wanted to introduce someone to General Pei's back house stopped, and Pei Sheng also had no intention of marrying another wife. He raised three sons alone until now, but the eldest and second son who were originally good friends had a suspicion because of the Ru Chuan matter, and often Like two fighting cocks, they slapped the table anxiously after saying a few words, and with the addition of a small one, he really had a headache.

Only Pei Ye, the three sons of the Pei family, went to study in the South Study, either as a companion, or because the emperor understood that it was difficult for General Pei to raise children.

Zhou Chengyi really didn't expect that the "she" that Pei Yi wrote vaguely refers to his biological mother. After realizing it, when he looked at the omitted sentence, he seemed to see Pei Yi's grief and choking when he wrote the manuscript.

He wiped his eyes, turned his head and said casually, "The four of you can become good friends, isn't it because you all had miserable teenage years?"

His words were originally just a joke to change the subject, but Fang Guanyan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"..." Zhou Chengyi knew that he shouldn't continue this dangerous topic, but he couldn't help but said, "Pei Sanlang and you and I know about it, but where are Luo Yi and Fu Qian?"

"Luo Yi has no relatives and friends, and Fu Qian's parents died early and he has no siblings." Fang Guanyan replied.

Luo Yi and Fu Qian's adolescence almost revolved around money. Luo Yi did it to study and survive, and Fu Qian did it to maintain the expenses of the Marquis Mansion. Friends, it is because they all belong to the kind of people who "be successful and benefit the world at the same time".

That is, the three views agree.

At the same time, Zhou Chengyi also learned that even if Pei Yi was able to be a school lieutenant at a young age, it was because of his meritorious service. If he didn't want to be a civil servant and insisted on taking the imperial examination, his official rank should be higher now.

As for Fang Guanyan, needless to say, the article "Discussing the Hu Shi", which was well-known in the capital, was written by him. He was loyal and courageous at a young age. Even if he was an ordinary person, he would have to Ordinary people who do good deeds.

Zhou Chengyi had to sigh that sentence, "Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups."

Although good people can make friends with bad people, and bad people may have a good relationship with good people, but the most important thing is definitely people with the same concept.

To draw a little further, in addition to this official story column, "Daily News" also has a section on people's livelihood, giving people the opportunity to give their opinions and suggestions.

The story was spread by the newsboys under the Changan Bookstore, and all of a sudden the down-and-out scholars at the post station who made money by writing letters for others had a regular business, and at the same time, there were many people in the countryside who were willing to receive literacy education.

All in all, this publication has now become a must-have for officials in the DPRK and China.

Jiang Shangshu even subscribed to "Yuefu", so naturally he couldn't let go of "Daily News". He also read Li Jiexiong's interview manuscript.

What's interesting is that Li Jiexiong keeps his word, and Yu Ying is also a person who keeps his word. She only got one point to become the candidate for this year's imperial examination. That is to say, if Li Jiexiong fails to answer the additional question correctly, the two The position will be reversed, and it is an absolute advantage.

Her policy theory and classical Chinese are both first in a single subject. Among them, classical Chinese is almost full except for the additional question. Her classic arguments on subjective questions are all wonderfully written, with sharp and bold words. Heavy players.

Yu Ying achieved a good result that surpassed all the heroes, while Shen Ping seemed ordinary, and could be at the bottom of the top two, but she was already the second best among the women in the big list.

It's no wonder that the positions they obtained were all behind, because there were few people, and most of them were sent away during the rural examination, and such a result has already slapped some people in the face.

Some people can jump high because they can't beat women in the exam.

It was almost an immediate effect after the release of the list. In the Zuichun Tower, the number of people who talked about women's incompetence and other such theories decreased a lot in an instant, and there were more girls on the street. It came out at such an inopportune time that there wasn't much.

The title of the gold list proves that women are not weaker than men, and given the opportunity, they can still achieve fame; and Yu Ying proves that women also have unlimited possibilities, and maybe there will be a female champion in "Glass and Jade Bone".

And the fame of the top three Jinshi may not be on the table in the court, especially those who can achieve the position of court officials. The No. [-] pick is a beam that falls down, but for most students, being able to win the exam is already theirs. The pursuit of a lifetime.

I believe that after this time, the number of students in girls' schools will go through a surge, and then get on the right track, and women's imperial examinations will become a norm.

Because the grades are anonymous, the person in charge of the graders of each subject was directly dispersed. The teachers of the non-subjective questions and several subjects exchanged grades, and the subjective questions directly pasted the answers to the questions with the corresponding serial numbers to grade the papers. .

After Fang Guanyan's kind reminder, Yu Ying and Shen Ping gave up the delicate fonts such as Zanhua Xiaokai, which they were good at, and typed all the titles in block letters.The two also tried their best to remind the girls who took the test together, so the gender cannot be judged by the test papers in the next few subjects.

Zhou Chengyi came all the time, so he checked the test papers casually, and found that some test papers with more delicate fonts had a lower pressure than ordinary test papers. Naturally, there were mistakes. After all, lowercase fonts are beautiful and easy to use, and there is no restriction on using them. What.

"No one is a fool, everyone will learn to be good, so don't be like this next time." Zhou Chengyi said meaningfully.

Some judges who understood what he said were quite embarrassed, or tilted their heads or pretended to be inadvertent and covered their lips with their sleeves.

Grand Master Shen, who was in charge of writing the big list, sighed quietly, and shouted in a drawn out voice, "Shame on you! Shame on you!"

Immediately choked the person who wanted to bring up this topic.

Zhou Chengyi laughed unkindly.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was not disappointed. On the first day the list was announced, Li Jiexiong apologized to Yu Ying in public.

Yu Ying took a step back, "No need, you won, I am indeed not as good as you."

Li Jiexiong shook his head. Even though he didn't see the test paper's question mark, he was very confident in his answer, "You didn't write that additional question, did you? In this way, I lost. Li can lose, because I would like to apologize to Lay Guanxue for my previous remarks.”

Yu Ying graciously forgave him.

The college entrance examination is actually more like the public examination, and the imperial examination is an interview for the public examination, but the interviewer is the emperor. Although he is a student of the emperor, all successful candidates can enter the palace, but the emperor is still concerned top three.

The emperor read the papers of the three and decided on the ranking of the three.

Zhou Chengyi originally thought that this matter would be over, but he never expected that the sentence that the emperor mentioned before would actually come to arrest his son-in-law.

And Fang Guanyan, who is riding a tall horse and wearing a big red robe, is really too eye-catching. Under the reflection of this red color, Fang Guanyan is even more attractive, not to mention that he is happy in his heart and always smiling. One mistake for life.

Almost all the noble ladies' flowers in Chang'an were thrown on him, Zhou Chengyi sat in the private room of Zuichun Tower and stared at him intently, pouring two pots of tea again and again, feeling very angry.

However, this anger has not had time to dissipate, and the next day, it directly raised his eyebrows.

The author has something to say: Regarding the cover, because some people said it was not very good, and the title of the article could not be seen clearly, so I simply changed it to a pure white and black one, plain and clean.

small theater

Zhou Chengyi: My date is really good-looking.

A certain official: Your partner is really good-looking, come and be my son-in-law.

Zhou Chengyi:?
