[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

The affairs outside the examination room were so ostentatious, and naturally they couldn't be hidden from those who cared. Someone had already been watching this group of candidates to prevent them from causing trouble. When they finally dispersed, they hurriedly went to report to their respective masters.

"Oh? That's true?" Xia Zizhou couldn't help but find it funny when he heard the servant's reply. He turned his head and smiled at the examiners, "It's rare for these candidates to have such a leisurely attitude!"

It stands to reason that the officials in the examination room are not allowed to have any contact with the outside world before the list is released. However, today's incident concerns thousands of candidates and it happened outside the examination room. It is inevitable that these candidates will make trouble and report it to the chief examiner in the examination room. And it should be.

What's more, this person reported in public, not only the examiners listened, but also the servants and servants also listened, so there was nothing to shy away from.

Although Xia Zizhou is only a small sixth-rank editor in terms of rank, he is a bachelor of the attendant who can speak in front of the emperor. He not only has frequent contact with the emperor on weekdays, but is also deeply favored by the emperor.

Only for the emperor's favor to him, his decency in front of the emperor, even those big figures who hold power dare not put on airs in front of him, let alone the examiners who are nominally under his jurisdiction this time, so these Four and fifty-year-old elders, Xia Zizhou, who was only in his thirties, lost all airs in front of him. He immediately echoed his words: "No, these candidates are just too busy."

"In my opinion, Master Xia is too considerate of the simple questions they asked, and let them have the leisure to make trouble out of nothing!"

This remark inevitably attracted the attention of other examiners. If it is flattering, it is too flattering. They watched Master Xia take out those exam questions with their own eyes. To get a good score in this exam, these questions are definitely not easy.

But to say that it is difficult, they had the confidence to say it before, but after the boy's explanation, they knew that these topics were only difficult on the surface, as long as they thought about the ideas, they were very simple, so they were definitely not difficult.

It's just that they also know that there is a specialization in art, they are proficient in the study of sages, and they will never be inferior to others when it comes to articles and poems. But when it comes to arithmetic, let's forget it, so what if the young man talked about it in detail , should it or won't.

But these words can't be said in front of Master Xia, even if they feel very contemptuous of those who say such bottomless flattery in their hearts, they still have to listen to it with a smile on their faces.

Xia Zizhou smiled helplessly. Although everyone likes to listen to good words, it doesn't mean that he loves such flattering words. It's just that he is not a serious subordinate, so he is not easy to get angry, so he smiled and said to Jiao Wanjiang, the deputy examiner. : "Master Jiao, are you done with the obscenity?"

Jiao Wanjiang nodded silently and didn't say much. Fortunately, Xia Zizhou already knew his temper, and he didn't feel that Jiao Wanjiang was disrespecting himself, so he just smiled casually, not because of his attitude, but because of his attitude. He turned his head and said to the waiting examiners: "Everyone, the matter of obfuscation has been settled, everyone lock up these test papers together, and you can go back to rest today."

"Yes, my lord."

The people did not let the servants do it, but locked the piles of test papers in the cabinet one by one, and then the chief examiner and assistant examiner checked together, then they left the room and handed the key to the guard at the door. .

Watching the examiners leave, Xia Zizhou and Jiao Wanjiang left. They lived in adjacent rooms, so they always went back together.

Walking on the road, because of Jiao Wanjiang's usual reticence, the relationship between the two was as quiet as ever, but today Jiao Wanjiang still couldn't hold his breath: "Is that young man arranged by them?"

"The boy's name is Wang Yue. He is related to the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion and Prince Teng Wang, but he is a real reformer."

"How are you sure? He's just a young student, and it's unclear whether his stance is firm or not. Besides, he won't be able to convince his relatives after all. Maybe he did it on purpose this time, or why did he just talk about it outside the examination room?" These come."

"What about his purpose? This is not in line with their plan."

Jiao Wanjiang remembered the news that had been sent before, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Maybe they changed their minds?"

Xia Zizhou knew that Jiao Wanjiang had always been a stubborn person, and it was difficult to change what he believed. However, it was hard for him to find out the secret relationship between Wang Yue and the prince. At that time, I thought about bringing this Wang Yue out to show His Royal Highness the face of the Crown Prince. It would be bad if Jiao Wanjiang ruined his affairs.

So he didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "He is a member of His Royal Highness, and it is said that the two are roommates."

Just this sentence immediately dispelled Jiao Wanjiang's doubts, "That's no wonder."

He still knows the talent of His Highness the Crown Prince, and although it is said that His Highness the Crown Prince is visiting in disguise and concealing his identity to study in the Imperial College, those who can stay with him must have been personally screened by the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, so that those two can agree with him. To stay in front of His Highness the Crown Prince must have high hopes for him, such a person is naturally reliable.

"His article is very good. Do you still remember the article you liked in the last policy discussion? It was written by him."

"It's him? It really is a young talent!" Jiao Wanjiang exclaimed, but couldn't help but asked in doubt: "How do you know that he wrote the policy theory?"

It stands to reason that all the test papers have been aliased, and the test papers that the examiner saw were not the original ones, but were copied by someone. How did Xia Zizhou know that the paper was written by him?

"I stopped by him when I was touring the exam room and took his notes."

Jiao Wanjiang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, thinking that he would never memorize the examinee's handwriting just by stopping for a while, which shows that Xia Zizhou had already planned.

But it's no wonder that although His Majesty has five sons now, the fourth prince's mother is from a foreign race, and it is not his turn to ascend the throne anyway. The fifth prince is still in his infancy. Low, but hopeless at all.

Although the second prince and the third prince have no stains on their backgrounds, and their mothers are not humble, but the emperor's favor is far inferior to the prince's, and they have even been entrusted with the land before their hair is tied. Seeing that your majesty has no objection Signs they look differently.

And the crown prince was brought up by the Supreme Emperor himself, regardless of his character and means, he can be regarded as superb, unless he committed insanity and rebelled against him, otherwise he would not be able to escape from the throne.

Under such circumstances, it's no wonder that Xia Zizhou wanted to establish a good relationship with the prince in advance. Jiao Wanjiang thought about it for a while, and decided to pretend that he didn't know about it. People have no hatred, and he has no one who must be promoted.

Secondly, it can be regarded as leaving a good impression on His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he doesn't like to exploit, he does not reject things that come easily.

It's just that he still has one thing to worry about.

"In this way, when those people take the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that many students will no longer be enthusiastic and get involved. This certainly preserves the future of many students, but I am afraid that we will not be able to realize our original goal. It's planned."

"There is nothing wrong with this. These students are talents cultivated by the court after spending a lot of money. They are not only the hope of the family, but also the future hope of the court. It is not a small loss. At the very beginning, many adults disagreed with this plan, but those people had already made up their minds and would not stop implementing this plan just because we didn't want to. Since this is the case, we also I just have to be tough."

Of course, Jiao Wanjiang knew about this matter. He nodded and said: "This is something that can't be helped. There is always a price to be paid for reform. But just as I told you, it's fine now, otherwise they always There is a chance, and it is our merit to keep these students."

After all, young people are always good at instigating. Those who instigate a little, they must be passionate, regardless of the consequences, just feel that they are doing justice for the sky, and don't think about the price they will pay for getting involved. They just want to stop them. It's just a complaint.

The author has something to say: It has been a few months since I submitted my resume, and I suddenly called me to tell me that I would take an exam. One day for the written test and one day for the interview. In a hurry, I hurried back from my hometown. Swollen, I felt relieved at the end of the interview this afternoon.
