The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

In a few days, the results of the provincial examination will be announced.

Before the results of the provincial examination were announced, Zhao Yang knew the results of Su Shi and Shen Kuo.

After the provincial exam, Su Zhe and the others thought that they did not do well in the exam, and they were not very sure that they had passed the provincial exam.Sure enough, Zhao Yang guessed it right, and Shen Kuo and the others did very well in the exam.

On the day when the results were announced, just after dawn, Su Zhe and the others went to the gate of the Gong Yuan to wait.When they arrived, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people.

After the provincial examination, candidates are anxiously waiting for the results.Now that the results are about to be announced, the examinees are getting more nervous.

Although Su Shi and the others told Zhao Yang that day that they had passed the provincial exam with three or four levels of confidence, now they don't even have one level of confidence.At this moment, their mood is very tense.

At this time, Zhao Yang went to the morning court.

There was nothing to do in the morning court today, so I went down very early.

After the court was set at four o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yang hurried to the Gongyuan.When he arrived, the gate of the Gongyuan was densely packed.Zhao Yang couldn't squeeze in even if he wanted to, and he couldn't find Su Shi and the others.

Zhao Yang thought about it and decided to go to Su Shi's house and wait for them to come back at home.

Su Xun and his wife did not go to the Gongyuan to wait for their grades.The couple had great confidence in their two sons and felt that they would pass the exam.

Seeing Zhao Yang coming, Su Xun and the others are very welcome.

At the beginning of Sishi, the results of the provincial examination were not announced.

Si time is getting closer and closer, and the candidates who are waiting for their results are getting more and more uncomfortable.

Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Shen Kuo held each other's hands tightly, and the expressions of the three were tense, expectant, and dignified.

The others were the same as them, but many people's faces became bloodless because they were too nervous.

Su Shi and the others were so nervous that not only their palms were sweating, but they could also hear their own heartbeat.

Dong dong dong dong, the heartbeat was very fast, as if it was about to jump out of the chest.

After a while, the gate of the Gongyuan opened.

At the moment when the door opened, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats.

Then, four guards appeared, holding a brocade box in their hands, and the results of the provincial test were naturally placed in the box.

Take out the imperial list from the brocade box, and post it on the column at the gate of the Gongyuan.

There is a wall at the entrance of the Gongyuan, which is specially used to post the results of the imperial examination.

After the guards posted the imperial list, they returned to the Gongyuan.

After they left, the examinees flocked to the bottom of the list, looking for their names on the list nervously and expectantly.

Candidates who found their names on the imperial list suddenly let out cheers of joy.Some even beat their chests and shouted: "I passed the exam, I passed the exam, I passed the exam!"

Some people cried directly.They were crying and laughing in a very funny way, but their eyes were full of ecstasy.

Candidates who did not find their names on the list did not give up. They searched for their names over and over again.I searched for my name several times but couldn't find my name, so I called Impossible, saying that it was impossible for him to make a mistake in the exam, and he must have made a mistake.

Seeing that they failed the exam, many people couldn't accept this heavy blow and passed out directly.

The number of people admitted to the imperial examination today has decreased a lot.Only 300 people were admitted for the solution test, only 100 people were admitted for the provincial test, and only 50 people were admitted for the palace test.

Those who did not pass the provincial examination this year can still take it next year.However, those who did not pass the palace examination this year will not be able to take the exam again until three years later.

Whether it is the release of the results of the solution test or the release of the results of the provincial test, you can see all kinds of life, and you can also see the joys and sorrows of human beings.

Su Shi and the others came later, instead of standing in front, they stood in the middle.Before they found their names on the imperial list, they were told by other people that their brothers passed the No.1 and No.2 exams again.Shen Kuo did a little better than Jieshi this time, and got No.6 in the exam.

When they heard that they passed the No.1 or No.2 exam, Su Shi and Su Zhe couldn't believe it until they saw the imperial list.

Seeing that they were the first and second names on the imperial list, Su Zhe and the others believed that they really passed the No.1 and No.2 exams again.

Shen Kuo and Su Shi hugged each other tightly.They were hugging and dancing, with joyful smiles on their faces.

Other students who passed the exam congratulated them one after another, especially many people congratulated Su Shi and Su Zhe brothers.

Answer the test, Su Zhe and the others passed No.1 and No.2.In the provincial test, they took No.1 and No.2 again.How can it not be envied, how can it be discongratulated.

Su Shi and the others haven't returned home yet, but the news that they passed the No.1 and No.2 exams has reached their home.

A special person will go to the home of each student who passed the exam to inform them of the good news that their family members have passed the exam.

Su Zhe and the others passed the No.1 and No.2 exams, so they were naturally the first to be notified.

Su Xun and the others knew the good news before Su Shi and the others.

Although the couple knew that their two sons could pass the exam, they did not expect their two sons to pass the No.1 and No.2 exams.

Zhao Yang knew Su Shi's achievements a long time ago.In fact, there is still controversy about whether Su Shi and Su Zhe can pass the No.1 and No.2 provincial examinations.

苏辙他们兄弟俩考的非常好，毫无疑问是No.1和No.2，但是不少大臣觉得他们之前在解试上考了No.1和No.2。如果再在省试上考No.1和No.2，会不会不太好。

The reason why the ministers feel that it is not very good is simple, because Su Shi and the others are too young.Would they be too proud if they passed the No.1 and No.2 exams twice?

Back then, when Ouyang Xiu took the imperial examination, because he was too exaggerated before the exam, the chief examiner didn't let him win the first prize in order to suppress his arrogance.

The ministers who reviewed the examination papers felt that the more talented people were, the more they had to suppress Shamo, so as to sharpen their edges and corners.They entered official careers in the future, and only then did they work for the court in a down-to-earth manner.

Su Shi and Su Zhe have had a great reputation in Bianjing over the past few years. All the ministers in the court knew of the two brothers and had read their poems. Some admired and envied their talents.

Some of the ministers who objected to Su Zhe and the others who passed the No. 1 and No. 2 exams again thought of them sincerely, felt that they were talented, and feared that they would be too complacent, so they wanted to suppress them.Some are purely jealous of them and don't want them to pass No.1 and No.2 again.

Because the ministers who were in favor and those who were against were equally divided, Ouyang Xiu, the chief examiner, did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so he reported the matter to Song Renzong and asked Song Renzong to make a decision.

Song Renzong also felt that Su Shi and the others were too talented and too young. If they were allowed to pass the No.1 and No.2 exams twice, they would definitely be overjoyed, so he agreed not to let Su Zhe and the others pass the No. 1 exam again. .2 and No.[-].However, Zhao Yang didn't think so.

Zhao Yang didn't defend Su Shi and Su Zhe because they were his good friends.He felt that the imperial examination should be fair and just. Since Su Shi and the others passed the No.1 and No.2 exams, they should not deliberately take away their due grades just because they are too young.Furthermore, Su Shi and Su Zhe are very likely to win the first and second place in the palace examination.If they pass No.1 and No.2 in all three exams, it will be a good story.

Over the years, from the solution test to the palace test, there are very few people who have been No.1 or No.2 in the exam.If there are people who pass No.1 and No.2 three times in a row in this year's imperial examination, it will be a great joy, and they will be famous in history.

Hearing what Zhao Yang said, Song Renzong and those ministers who opposed it felt very reasonable, so they agreed to let Su Shi and the others pass the No.1 and No.2 exams again.

If it weren't for Zhao Yang's hard work, Su Shi and Su Zhe would lose the No.1 and No.2 scores in the provincial examination.

After learning about their results, Su Shi and the others hurried home.

As soon as they got home, Su Xun and Zhao Yang set off firecrackers at the door to celebrate them passing No.1 and No.2 again.

In the provincial examination, it is really not easy to get No.1 and No.2.For example, Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan did not pass the No. 1 test in the solution test and provincial test.

Shen Kuo passed No.6 in the exam, which was better than the solution test, and Zhao Yang was also happy for him.

Su Xun bought a lot of dishes and came back, and he wanted to cook a table of good dishes for the three of them to celebrate.

Zhao Yang also brought a lot of food, and brought gifts to Su Zhe and the others, which were poems by Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others.

During lunch, Zhao Yang and the others chatted while drinking, and the atmosphere was very joyous and festive.

"Actually, it's controversial that you passed No.1 and No.2 again this time."

Su Shi asked, "What controversy?"

"Based on your grades, you really passed the No.1 and No.2 exams, but many ministers think that you are too young and should not let you pass the exams again, for fear that you will be proud."

Su Zhe and the others knew about this kind of thing. After all, Ouyang Xiu was also suppressed when he took the imperial examination.

"For us, it doesn't matter whether we can pass the No.1 and No.2 exams again, as long as we pass the exams." These are the sincere words of Su Zhe and the others.Of course they will be happy if they pass No.1 and No.2 again.However, if they failed the No.1 and No.2 exams, they would not be angry or sad.

Su Xun asked: "Why did Ah Shi and the others pass the No.1 and No.2 exams?"

"Because the crown prince spoke for you, and the crown prince said that you should not be deprived of your grades just because you are young." When Zhao Yang said this, he felt a little guilty, "He also said that you are very likely to be the number one in the imperial examination and in the evening, wait until then , you have passed No.1 and No.2 in the three exams, which is rare in history and will become a good story passed down to future generations."

When Su Shi and Su Che heard these words, they were so frightened that they choked on a mouthful of wine and coughed violently.

After coughing for a long time, the two of them calmed down.

"Fuhui, did you tell His Highness the Crown Prince that we could win the number one and second places?"

Zhao Yang smiled at Su Shi and the others: "Yes."

"Fu Hui!" Su Zhe and the others were in a hurry, "What if we don't get the No. [-] and No. [-] in the imperial examination?"

"I believe you will pass the exam!"

Su Shi and Su Zhe didn't understand why Fuhui had so much confidence in them.They have no confidence in themselves.Also, they don't have much confidence in whether they can pass the Jinshi exam.

"Fuhui..." Su Shi and Su Zhe smiled wryly, "If we fail the exam, His Royal Highness will be disappointed."

"No, even if you fail the exam, His Royal Highness will not feel anything." Zhao Yang gave Su Shi and the others an encouraging smile, "Also, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Su Shi and the others: "..."

Fu Hui had already told His Highness the Crown Prince, they could only study desperately, trying to get the number one and second place in the exam.

Because of Zhao Yang's words, the joy of Su Shi and the others in No. 1 and No. 2 in the provincial examination suddenly disappeared.From this moment on, their hearts are very heavy and they feel very stressed.

After lunch, Zhao Yang dragged Shen Kuo and the three of them out to play.As I said before, after the provincial exam, I will have a lot of fun.
