When the tribute student left the palace gate, the rain crackled. Although there was an umbrella, he could not resist the heavy storm. However, he saw lanterns on some restaurants in the distance, and rushed over to shelter from the rain.

Yu Lu rushed downstairs, and it was pretty good. He only had his coat wet. Seeing the bustling downstairs, he hurriedly called the elegant seat upstairs. Fortunately, he shouted quickly and grabbed the last second room. He felt a little relieved and called out a towel.

When Fang Xi approached, Yu Lu looked at him and saw that he was thinking about something, but he was not too upset and depressed. He breathed some relief and felt that since they had received the grandson's tip in advance, they should not be much worse.

"Come on, sit down and wipe your face. I've ordered the dishes." Yu Lu said, the guy had served the dishes, four dishes, one soup and one pot of wine, so he raised his cup to persuade him to drink: "Drink a glass of wine to warm up your body."

Fang Xi raised his glass to drink with her face, his face turned bloody. He glanced at Yu Lu, and suddenly asked, "How did you write this policy?"

Yu Lu then laughed: "Just write according to the Taisun's point, there is nothing that cannot be said, I just read it to you."

Even so, Yu Lu subconsciously lowered his voice and read the content of his answer for several paragraphs.

"......However, what I want to do is not to change the customs of the world, nor to restore the fields of the world. It is also said that it is appropriate to follow the feelings and do the control without losing the intention of the previous kings..."

Similar words are nothing more than the main intention of Taisun. Anyway, since you know how to write it, it is very easy to open your thoughts in this direction.

Yu Lu felt that with Fang Xi's talent and knowledge, as long as he wrote in this direction, he would not lose the essence of the Golden List. After reading a few more words, he asked casually: "Where are you?"

When he asked this, his tone was relaxed.

As a result, after waiting for a while, but before Fang Xi's answer was met, Yu Lu paused and looked up at Fang Xi.

"you……"

Facing Yu Lu's gaze asking, Fang Xi drank and looked away without saying a word.

What else is there to understand now?

Yu Lu was shocked and put down his wine glass: "You, shouldn't you?"

Fang Xi did not refute, and then "gurgled" again, drank a full glass, and let out a heavy sip of wine. Yu Lu immediately understood that it was exactly what he guessed, and he wanted to slap it on his face - this was a palace examination, what did this kid think?

"Are you writing this in the past with the words of the crazy introduction?"

"Are you not afraid of being guilty of the heaven?"

Fang Xi's face was covered in blood, and he took another sip, then he suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Yu, you should know me, how can I be ignorant of being an official?"

But this is not a matter of being ignorant of one's mind, but rather an imperial examination in the court, which was originally intended to absorb talents who serve him, and it was impossible to absorb crazy life.

Not to mention this, personally, you must first get the qualification to be an official and then realize your ambitions. If you are stuck at this point, even if you have ambitions, you cannot display them. Isn’t it a waste?

Besides, what Taisun said on that day made sense.

The two of them have indeed been too biased, and they are full of scholarly spirit.

But when you are in power, you need to consider too many things, but it is definitely not just based on your own enthusiasm for a scholarly business.

But Yu Lu looked at it and saw that Fang Xi was smiling, but he looked serious. He immediately knew that Fang Xi had become obsessed with it and could not have changed at this time. The exam was over, and now it was futile to talk about it. He was directly held back by a breath, opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.

By this time, it was too late to say anything, so I had to sigh heavily: "Oh..."

Imperial City·Checking Office

This was originally a vassal of the cabinet. In fact, it was a large room after several rooms were opened, and it was not too crowded.

It was temporarily changed to the marking place, and I saw that there were large copper leaf cabinets inlaid around it, and there were confidential documents inside, but they were locked.

At this moment, tables were placed open, and the tables were piled with papers, each table was about fifty copies, and a few were empty, which were the second and third trials.

More than a dozen people sat at the table and quickly and carefully reviewed the papers, each of whom was responsible for a stack, but when they arrived, someone would conduct a review.

Especially after experiencing the fraud case, everyone was nervous and did not dare to neglect the slightest.

Even if it doesn't harm the family, it is not cost-effective if you lose your official position and demote it because of this.

The sound of talking, the sound of flipping through paper, and writing, although the sound of being extremely small makes the entire marking area seem too nervous.

These examiners were very serious about the papers, and they were very fast. They were dizzy after a while and had to make ginseng tea.

An examiner in his forties took several sips before he took a breath and couldn't help sighing: "In the past, the papers were released in one day, but now it's an hour and a half, which is too hurrying!"

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so busy that I couldn't even eat.

A person next to him reminded: "The emperor urged him very hard, and he would get the ranking within one and a half hours, and he was still waiting with the grandson!"

As soon as these words were said, not only did the examiner in his forties shut up and dare not say anything, but others also accelerated their speed and kept silent.

It is very hard to read the papers. Reading fifty copies a day has exhausted these examiners, let alone speeding up and reading them all within an hour and a half?

It’s not that I read articles to my juniors on weekdays. These are test papers. Once something goes wrong and is found out, the responsible person will not be able to take it.

So no one dares to be careless, but if you are more careful and increase your speed, it will cost the spirit of these examiners.

I only read half of the exam, even the patient examiner gradually became irritated.

One of the officials who were over thirty years old and looked very thin, and was a person who was very concerned about self-cultivation. At this moment, he was a little irritable. He threw down a book and couldn't help but curse: "A bastard, such a crazy statement, let alone a tribute test, but a juren, how did he pass the exam?"

He pulled his collar, took another sip of tea, calmed down, picked up another volume, and continued to read it when he was irritated. After reading it, he thought something and suddenly paused and read it again.

Gradually, the examiner became calm and the article was just right, and even his irritability dissipated most of them.

"It's a good article!" The more the examiner read it, the more he appreciated it. He felt that it was indeed a good article. After reading it, he read it again, and the more he read it, the more he liked it.

"Sir, why not come and read this article!" The examiner stroked his beard and said with a smile.

When other examiners saw this, they obviously had read good articles. For them at this moment, it would be very satisfying to read a good article!

"Let me take a look." A man with some irritable eyebrows took the paper over and looked it carefully. He couldn't help but feel thoughtful and sighed: "Good articles! They are indeed good articles! This article is enough to drink, and it can be the first one!"

This is the forefront and you can't just say it casually. When others hear it, hey, this article is so good?

They passed it one by one, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"It's good!"

Even if you feel that it doesn’t suit your taste, you have to admit that this is indeed a good article with a great style!

The examiner read it and read the paper one after another without commenting. He just looked at the sky and saw that it was already night, so he said, "After reading it all, just send it in!"

"The Emperor and the Grandson are still waiting for us!"

Partial Palace

The night was already quiet, and the candle was lit, and the aroma of food that had not completely dissipated, indicating that the father and son of the Tian family who were waiting here seemed to have just used dinner.

The eunuch handed in the papers one by one in gold plate. There were not many, only the top twenty, and they were carefully placed according to the ranking.

Another eunuch brought the silver basin, and the water inside was warm. The emperor washed his hands, took the towel and wiped it, and threw it inside.

"This is the first place they chose, which is OK. It's considered hard to be able to choose this in a hurry!"

The emperor took the first volume and looked slowly. His expression was calm. Only by looking closely could he see that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his breath was a little more relaxed. Obviously, he liked this article a little bit after reading it for the first time.
Chapter completed!
