Lang Jun is coming

When Pei Lian asked such a question, Meng Ruanqing immediately lost his expression, and even Chen Juncong, who had been silent from the beginning to the end, looked at him.

"No."

The two replied in unison.

Coincidentally, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then their expressions became tense, like children who are still young and immature.His mouth is tough and he refuses to show any badness, but what he thinks in his heart is actually clear.

Pei Lian's eyes flickered slightly, and he wisely stopped asking questions.They and the pillars of the Heng Dynasty walked the longest palace wall, the golden brick road, and as long as they turned in along the Yongjin Gate, they could see the Chongzheng Hall.

Candidates for this year's palace examination, wearing black-edged and white-bottomed shirts, bumped into them.On one side are students in plain shirts, and on the other side are court officials with leather belts on their waists. The eyes of the two sides meet, and the candidates actively bow and stand beside them.

Yang Qiyu Chunwei No.3, naturally stood in the front row.He tried his best to lower his head so that the black scholar's scarf on his head could more or less cover his face.

He knew that it would be wrong to deceive the teacher, so he never wrote a letter after arriving in the capital, and he never dared to think about visiting him.

It will be fine after the palace examination, and the teacher will be proud of it when he goes to the door in front of the Chongzheng Palace.

The examinees are humble, knowing that these people will be seniors in the court in the future, and there must be no mistakes in their attitude.Even if you are stupid or brainless, you will know what the people in the front row do, and you should know how to follow the gourd.

Liu Hanqiu has seen countless candidates for the imperial examination over the years. He and Lu Shijue walked together, and after only a symbolic glance, they folded their sleeves and took the lead to enter the Yongjin Gate.

Pei Yanfu had nothing to care about, the only thing was the unfilial son behind him, who had already become his colleague.

Unlike the two of them, Song Fu wanted to see his son, but Song Yiqing stood at the back, and he could only see black literati scarves when he stood on tiptoe.

It was no different from previous years, the court officials stood separately from the examinees, and Mei Yanyu was still given the Chongzheng Hall by the officials. However, this time the officials changed the method of writing the exam questions, let alone asking for Mei Yanyu's opinion.

One table for one person, the curtain hangs down to cut off the sight outside the Chongzheng Hall.With less light and facing the Ninth Five-Year Master, the already nervous candidates felt even more uneasy and dignified.

No one dared to look up, even to sneak a glance.

At such a time, the time seems to be extremely long and exhausting, and one can hardly breathe easily.

They heard the faint screeching of paper from above.

Xiao Liu'er stood on one side, holding a copy of the theory with both hands.

The policy theory has been read many times by the officials, the paper is crumpled and creased, and even the rebellious words have been passed by the high-ranking people countless times.

Under extreme depression, everyone finally looked forward to a word from the official.

"For many years reading by candlelight at night, and being able to sit here under the review of the Ministry of Rites, you must be full of knowledge and knowledge."

After being praised by Jinkou Yuyan, the people who sat down did not feel relaxed, but listened more carefully, fearing that an inadvertent imperial disgrace would be lost.

Above the high position, wherever the eyes can see, different expressions can be seen.The official's gaze paused for a moment on "Yang Pinghan" in the front row, and then he pulled out Song Yiqing from the corner who was trying his best not to attract attention.As soon as he thought that the person who wrote the policy theory was among them, he had extra expectations for this year's palace examination.

"Officials." Xiao Liu'er presented a letter and said in a low voice, "Pei Taichang said that it's all here."

The unusually thick paper was unfolded, and it was sorted out by Pei Lian and Zhang Wenyu after going through the files over the years.

The official read a few pages, then slowly closed the book, and said loudly: "Today we will not examine policy theory, nor poetry."

The words in a low voice echoed in the Chongzheng Hall, and the hearts of all the candidates were shocked. Finally, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Looking at the current situation, the test questions are actually written on the curtain?They have studied for many years, and they have mastered those poems and songs, but now they are told not to take these exams.But if you don't test these things in the palace test, what else can you test?

Feeling restless, they all thought of last year's imperial examination questions.But that also brings allusions from the previous dynasty.

The turbulent waves below could not affect the examination questions set by the officials at all.He unconsciously rubbed the corner of the paper with his right hand, and explained the exam questions clearly word by word.

"In the past, Taizu laid the foundation of Daheng, ended the tyrannical regime of the previous dynasty, changed the system of scientific examination and review, abolished the curfew, and improved the laws of our dynasty, and revised the "Xihe Law". His "Xihe Law" has words: Those who fail to do so are guilty of murder."

After the two sentences were finished, the examinee sitting at the desk wiped off his sweat.

"Xihe Law Order" is the foundation of Heng Dynasty's law, which is complete in every aspect.Even people of different identities on the curb can find regulations on how to give way.

They are clear about the seriousness of life and death, and even know that the crime is the same as murder.But it's not easy to put it in the Chongzheng Hall.

The official continued: "Under the strict laws, there are frequent occurrences of non-judgment in various states today, and there is even a case of the He family in the capital drowning his own son. What is the solution to the current predicament? You are right."

There is no pen and paper on the table, all they need is for one of them to think about how to deal with it on the spot.Simple and straightforward.

It's hard for those who only know how to study blindly. Changing such a flexible strategy is tantamount to indirectly determining their ranking.Apart from these, the psychological quality must also be high enough to be able to

It is extremely difficult to express one's point of view clearly while holding on to one's nervousness while asking questions.

The dual physical and mental torture made many people feel miserable, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and empty their minds to deal with it.

Time passed by little by little, and when Xiao Liu'er added spices to the Boshan stove in the hall, someone stood up hesitantly.

The person who stood up first had an unremarkable appearance, exuding the air of an honest man from the inside out.

"Qin Qi, a grassroots man from Fengling, his grandfather did not become an official, nor did his father. Nine of the No. 40 provincial examinations in the first year of Jianyuan, Jianyuan..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he reported a long list of backgrounds according to the usual process of writing policy theories.Rubbing his temples, the official interrupted the course of the imperial examination that he was going to talk about later, "Just talk about the way to deal with it."

After finally mustering up the courage to say these words, Qin Qi was suddenly interrupted, trembling, smothering his voice, and swallowed the whole sentence in a hanging tone.

"According to what the grassroots people have heard, it is mostly caused by the hardship of life. Parents love their children. There is no need to question it. If the people are rich, they can prevent future troubles. The law of the grassroots is for the court to help the poor. The people depend on food. If there is no worry about food, then the human nature of the Ho family is also there."

He closed his eyes and answered the policy question with the worst intention of being dragged out.

Qin Qi doesn't think he is a smart person, and he often says inappropriate things without knowing it, and even his classmates once laughed at him as timid and timid as a mouse.

The hall returned to the dead silence just now. After a while, Qin Qi didn't wait until he was dragged out. He boldly opened his eyes but only dared to stare at the smooth black bricks under his feet.

"It's reasonable."

The official only gave a four-word evaluation.It's not bad, it's not good, it's mid-range.

Once there is the first one, there will be the second one. For a while, the Chongzheng Hall became lively, and people stood up to deal with it one after another.The officials listened carefully but didn't respond much until Yang Qiyu got up.

"The grassroots believe that Qin Qi's words are reasonable, but there is little feasibility. The people are poor, and the court will provide financial resources. The poor people have an inexhaustible supply, and the financial resources of the court will eventually be spared. It is better to give people fish than to give them fish. Fishing. It’s better to teach them how to support their families, once and for all, than to stop the boiling water.”

The official's eyes were slightly cold, and he nodded, "It makes sense."

The reason why Qin Qi's evaluation is moderate is nothing more than the financial resources of the imperial court pointed out by Yang Qiyu.Don't talk about life but don't give up, there is no surplus for a year's expenditure on weekdays, how can there be so much free money to help poor families?At that time, it is possible that the entire Daheng will be dragged down abruptly.

This person is indeed talented, but unfortunately...

There was a coldness under the official's smile.

It's a pity that this person is Liu Hanqiu's student, no matter how talented he is, he won't use it after all.When the system is restructured, Yang Qiyu will follow the teacher to support the old system.At that time, people like him will become a stumbling block instead.

Except for Xiao Liu'er standing by and Mei Yanyu who has been in the officialdom for many years, the others and even Yang Qiyu himself have not discovered the king's art of controlling people under the comfort of the officials.

Others just sighed inwardly, as expected of Chun Wei's top ranked person, even if the test was not poetry and essays, he still stood out and pointed out the problem to the point.

No one knows, the better Yang Qi answers, the less popular he is.

Hundreds of people answered almost half a day later, the official looked away and asked, "Song Yiqing, how do you deal with it?"

The other candidates were all amazed.In the past, no matter who they were, they would take the initiative to inform them of their name and origin, but the officials did not know when they remembered the name of this unremarkable person in Chunwei!

Yang Qiyu is not as responsive as others.At the literati banquet, he knew Song Yiqing's identity when he sent a servant to deliver the invitation. At that time, he was not surprised, but he was also worried that the other party would become an obstacle in his palace examination and even his official career.But at the literati banquet, he witnessed Song Yiqing's dull and dull appearance, and he was definitely not a flexible person.
