Chapter 84: Tiger's Twilight (4)
Enke was very urgent, and the emperor decided to finish the exam before the New Year. So the second day after the exam, the candidates took the exam had no rest at all. The list came out on the second day, and then the ones on the list were passed to the palace examination. Although this was a bit hasty, it was nothing. After the thirty years of Hongwu, they conducted two palace examinations; the palace examination in the seventh year of Yongle was only held in the ninth year. When the palace examination was to be held, it was based on the emperor's wishes.
When the Encade exam was really time, Ding Yi was really refreshed. He just did the questions once today. At least he didn't have to be forced to do scriptures or comments when changing clothes, otherwise he would threaten to throw a stone... He really had a smile on his face from entering the palace exam. Thinking about being abused by four university masters every day to do countless papers. Compared with the two exams in two days, the latter is so happy.
As a result, the candidates, examiners, and officials who participated in the Encai Department, who saw Ding Yi's expression, from the examination to the examination, Hu Zhongcai, all sighed in their hearts: This kind of joint is still at ease. The so-called mountain collapses without being shocked is nothing more than this! The true celebrity is romantic!
In fact, Ding Yi was really happy and finally got relieved. This time, he was good to pass or not. He would never mention this document. He had been taking the provincial examination for more than 1 years ago, but he was very tired every afternoon. After returning home, he could still train Liu Tie to have fun. In addition, those academic masters were not Shanglu after all, and they were not so bad.
These days I have been working on the questions until I fell asleep and woke up and continued to do it. Several college masters took turns watching them without teaching for a moment. It was such an inhuman day! With Shang Lu involved in it, when he changed the orchid book, he really thought that his younger brother came to do it. If there was something wrong with the Shang family, the housekeeper went to Jinyu Hutong to find the Ding family to settle the etiquette. The etiquette was the same as meeting his grandparents, but the tone was taken for granted - the master, if you are not careful, you have to do it! That's it.
So Shang Lu was trying hard to make Ding Yi without any particulars. In addition, Zhang He, the teacher, relied on the disabled and sold the disabled. It was difficult to hide when he came to suck the rattan. In fact, Ding Yi knew that it was Li Xian who was busy and had no time to come. If Li Xian came, it would be cruel to spray it. These people were all dedicated to his good intentions, so what else could it do? It was him, Ding, who said he wanted the imperial examination!
After coming out of the examination room, he was immediately "robbed" by the old servants of Zhang He's family and went to the Zhang family's courtyard. They threw them over one after another, only teaching him to solve the problem, because these academic masters are very keen. They found that as long as Ding Yi did a good job of solving the problem, he could make a complete solution. Nonsense, is it fake to have thousands of years of experience than this era? So now he is always asking him to solve the problem.
He made Ding Yi dizzy all the way, and Liu Tie was allowed to come in once and reported to Ding Yi: "Sir! I'm on the list. Ninth!"
Unexpectedly, Ding Yi, who was mechanical in his test, responded to the previous sentence: "I am wise and ignorant, and shallow in my knowledge. I am not enough to ask a big question. However, the ninth hexagram says: The clouds do not rain, and I am in the western suburbs. This means that it is called attracting but not emitting, and it still has its strength. Therefore, the national prestige that Tatars should show, and they should be careful to rise to the side..." Speaking of this, he suddenly felt something was wrong, because the policy theory could not be said "ninth". After calming down, he came to his senses. Looking at Liu Tie who was staring at him, Ding Yi had to smile bitterly and nodded, indicating that he knew and waved his hand to teach him to retreat.
"Like Jin, let's take a rest first." Shang Lu watched Liu Tie retreat and looked at the other academic masters in the room, but it was the first time in the past few days that he said to Ding Yi so tolerantly, "For brothers and gentlemen, I have something to tell you." The academic masters next to him also smiled and nodded.
Ding Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Come on, what's the question? It's only been half a day, and I can't kill me."
Shang Lu laughed and said to Ding Yi: "No need to do it anymore."
“No need to do it again?”
"Yes, I've been asking you too much for more than a year, but why do you know?" Shang Lu suddenly changed his face and even said, "I'll teach me how to wait for a few lucky ones. If you keep it like this, you can't stand it. It's just because I've spent ten years or even more time doing your homework for the past year."
Zhang He also nodded and said, "Yes, you have talent, but you didn't meet good teachers before, and you are mostly abandoned. The articles you have written before have been read by your teacher, and it's simply incredible. In the past year, you have suffered ten years of hardship from others. Although you are a teacher, how can you do this if you are like this? You can't answer yourself, but you are Ding Rujin, the famous Ding Rujin in the world! You are an extraordinary person, and you think you are an extraordinary thing!"
"This Encai is not something else to say, and it is naturally designed to be like Jin now." Zhou Xuan smiled and stroked the book on his hand, but said, "Why do we still teach you how to do the questions after the test?" It was obvious that the emperor had just opened the Encai to get Ding Yi. If he could try it, as long as he was on the list, he would be worry-free. Why would he abuse him?
Ding Yi didn't really think too much about this, and he did all the questions so much that he was numb.
Liu Yan pointed out this hurdle: "It's just because you must be a Jinshi. We are afraid that we will laugh at the stock of the Shilin in the future. Once we make a comeback, we will be out of control! Therefore, we know that even if the exam has passed, we dare not relax for a moment. Until this point, we can dismantle it with slight words, and then we can feel relieved."
What does it mean to be out of control? If Ding Yijiao passes the test, he will definitely be a Jinshi. At that time, the palace examination article will be too bad, obviously much worse than others, but then he will become a Jinshi and will be turned into a general in the future. What is this not a lucky thing to be a Jinshi? At that time, it is really shameful to be a Jinshi than not being a Jinshi.
But just now, listening to Ding Yi's words and randomly split the questions and solved them. Although it was ridiculous and far-fetched, it was obvious that Ding's subconscious behavior was already a subconscious act in such a thing. Everyone just felt relieved and knew that Ding's eight-legged essay art had finally reached a certain level, and no longer worried that he would make a fool of himself in the palace examination, and even make him laugh.
"You all have great righteousness in mind, and you dare not forget it!" Ding joined hands, finished dressing, bowed to the ground.
If a student master takes a look at it, it would not be surprising, but it is impossible for all living student masters to misunderstand it.
They think Ding Yi's palace examination is fine, how could Ding Yi have problems?
Ding Mouyi does not have the concept of being nervous or something, and nothing can be performed abnormally.
Just entering the palace like this, there was no twists and turns, and no eunuch dared to do anything to the famous Ding Rongcheng.
So I went to the palace, answered the paper so calmly, and handed it over.
But Emperor Jing had performed a little. When he saw Ding Yi's paper, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Ding Rujin's words are really a good plan for the country!" He picked up the red pen on the spot and wanted to circle it. This was Ding Yi's most shocking moment - there were still people behind him who had not handed in the paper! Isn't this eating look too ugly?
However, when Emperor Jing really wanted to write Ding Yi as the top scholar, Chen Xun persuaded him, and he put another paper in front of Emperor Jing. Yu Qian also put the paper in his hand, one of which he had pinched his nails and printed. As a result, Ding Yi finally got only one of the papers, which was third in the palace examination.
However, this is already the third place in the first place, and it is a very impressive result.
As Shang Lu and others said, it took someone else ten years or even a lifetime to work, but Ding only took more than a year.
The top scholar was Ke Qian, a student from Putian, Fujian Province, whose courtesy name was Mengshi. This person is very good at literature and writing, using allusions, etc., which is definitely not comparable to Ding Yi. Chen Xun could not stand it, so he handed over the paper for Jing Zong to see; the second place was similar, which was obviously obvious that the logic was smooth and self-consistent, while the use of allusions, the writing level of the sages, was better than Ding.
So the Jinshi passed the imperial examination and was given a general, and the emperor invited a banquet. Then the three-legged armor, the top scholar, the second-ranked scholar, Tanhua, was immediately tied up by five flowers and paraded in the streets. No, he wore red and hung colors, and dressed up. Then a crowd of people were surrounded by, beating drums and gold, and riding horses.
However, Ke Qian was not very happy, because this day was just the way for the people to wish. It was rare that when the year approached, the wind and snow were coming, and he was parading all the way to praise the officials. It was not him, the top scholar, but Ding Rujin, who was standing by the streets and threw flowers, shouting: "I have never known Ding Rongcheng in my life, and I call myself a hero and laughed so hard!" Ke Qian felt that he was really gentle and swept the floor. When a scholar was boasting in the hard window, how could he have the same tone as the grass and green forest? Fortunately, he shouted in the crowd, "Get on the horse and attack the crazy beard, get off the horse and pick the Guizhi, Ding Rongcheng, pick it!" He also cheered, was the famous player who paraded on the street? Or was Wen Kui? Besides, the person who paraded on the street was the only one who dominated the game, Ke? Ding was the third one!
The team went to Zuixian Pavilion, leaning against the Red Building and other places where the horses were walking on horseback, and a woman with a charming look came out from the second floor and shouted: "Mr. Rongcheng just looked at Nunu!", "You are shameless! Mr. Rongcheng is clearly looking at me!" There was a girl's school book and she started fighting on the second floor.
Ding Yi smiled and raised his hand all the way to bow to the surroundings, but Ke Qian felt the blood swallowing in his mouth.
Fortunately, it was dusk, and the wind and snow started to rise again. The second and third days of parade were about to stop. At this time, it was the New Year's Eve, and Ke Qian finally didn't have to hold back his blood. However, if Ke Qian knew that Ding Yi was summoned to the palace that night, he would be afraid that a mouthful of blood would be spurted out: Why! Why is he, a Tanhua, more glorious than the top scholar, and the emperor trusted him?
"Because he is Ding Rongcheng, because he resigned from a fifth-rank official and refused to be an imperial examination, he killed many grassland people." In this yard, Tuoba Zhenge, who was full of thoughts, said this, but he did not talk to Ke Qian, but to the second-rank Ouyang Hao, "The top scholar is useless. I see that you have some temperament, so I am willing to be suppressed by this person with the surname Ding?"
Murong Qiushui, dressed as a scholar and scholar, did not put down the fan even in this severe winter: "Brother Ouyang, you must know that someone Ding will surely rise to the sky from now on, and will have a bright future. If this person is left here, the people in the world will only know one Ding Rongcheng."
