Chapter 201 Another twists and turns
It should be Xie Yuan!
Jieyuan was the title of the first place in the provincial examination in ancient China. In the Tang Dynasty, those who passed the imperial examination were all sent to the imperial examinations by local officials, so the first place in the provincial examination was called Jieyuan.
Our Song Tongkao is digging the papers with all his heart. Every cell in his body is paying attention to the test papers in his hand. No one noticed that the examiner pushed open the door and entered the room, nor did he noticed that the test papers he threw on the ground that he disliked were picked up by the examiner. Naturally, he would not notice that the examiner was shocked and he didn't stop when he looked at Zhu Ping'an's test papers.
So when the examiner pressed the test paper he threw on the ground and said the words "Xie Yuan" by Xie, our Song Tongkao was shocked and suddenly didn't react to what the examiner was doing. When he reacted, our Song Tongkao was stunned.
stunned
Song Tongkao once again confirmed the test paper that the examiner pressed in front of him. Yes, it was the test paper that made him feel like he was swallowing the Rexiang!
So, Song Tongkao, who was full of justice in selecting materials for the country, completely ignored the examiner's rank at this moment. He stood up from the chair and the sense of justice in taking responsibility for the country filled his chest.
"Mr. Zhang, have you read this test paper?" Song Tongkao stood up and pressed the table, questioning righteously.
Examiner Zhang nodded.
Seeing this, Song Tongkao's chest was like a bellows and asked again, "Can you still say what you said just now?"
At this time, the examiner who was marking the papers with Song Tongkao could not help but pull Song Tongkao's sleeves and whispered something, but our Song Tongkao shook his head firmly. Song Tongkao is known for his seriousness and responsibility in the local area, and dares to fight, is good at fighting, and is good at fighting. No matter who the other party is or what status, as long as he thinks it is wrong, he must bravely rush up and open the war door! This time, there is no exception.
"If you don't mention Jie Yuan in this article, I am ashamed of the two saints!"
Examiner Zhang did not think that the reaction of Song Tongkao was defeated. On the contrary, he still appreciated it, but no matter how much he appreciated it, you, Song Tongkao, have your own principles, so does Zhang, have no principles? So, Examiner Zhang nodded again.
"Please forgive me for being rude!"
Song Tongkao left the table and chair and bent down to bow to examiner Zhang and said. Then he picked up the test papers that the examiner Zhang pressed on the table, turned it open, pointed to one of them, and asked with a righteous face:
"Mr. Zhang, this article "A gentleman is not famous when he is sick and has no reputation in the world" is broken by the title "No name in future generations, what the saints are worried about." Is this correct?"
"There is another article, 'The heaven does not speak, the earth does not speak. People establish the principles of the rule in the middle.', you are crazy! The rule in the man is the basis of the rule in the saint!"
"I am so crazy, please think twice."
Song Tongcai held the test paper and fought hard.
"That's true, it's not true!" Zhang Zhukai shook his head, "A saint is also a human being. This article "A gentleman is a man who is in a bad state and has no reputation" is very wonderful, and the inheritance of the title is even more wonderful, "The name of a moment does not need to be possessed, but the name of later generations must not be lost'. Another article is even more wonderful. This person is not a crazy person, a child."
One insists on failing the exam, but the other insists on point as Jieyuan. It can be said that one has eighteen underground floors and the other has nine levels of heaven, and the difference is too big.
Moreover, the two examiners insisted on their own opinions, and neither convinced each other.
Although Song Tongkao was young, he insisted on his own opinion; Zhang was a high-ranking candidate, but he did not rely on his power to suppress others.
There is no dispute.
At this time, the door was pushed open again, and another examiner, Mr. Wang, also came in. Mr. Wang was alarmed by the movements in this room, and everyone heard the movements in this room next door.
"Dear colleagues, what's wrong?" Lord Wang entered the room, rubbed his hands, and walked over and asked.
Then someone told examiner Wang the reason.
"Oh, I'm telling me what it is, let me see." Lord Wang shook his head slightly, walked to the focus of the dispute, took the test paper and started reading it.
While reading this test paper, Lord Wang nodded. After reading it for about ten minutes, he had a choice. However, Lord Wang was an experienced official. He did not express his opinions directly, but called the clerk who was waiting for him and ordered:
"You, take this person's two or three test papers."
"As for the order." The clerk bent down and stepped down. After a moment, he took the two test papers together and handed them to Lord Wang.
After receiving the test paper, Lord Wang waved his hand and asked the clerk to retreat, and then gave two test papers to Zhang and the other to Song Tongkao.
Zhang Zhuan was in his hands with the second test paper, the application papers such as the imperial examination papers, and the authorization and judgment were not required. He just needed to be in line with the official application paper format. Zhang Zhuan originally belonged to Zhu Ping'an, and only after reading Zhu Ping'an's second test papers with the same format as the literature, he was naturally more satisfied.
Song Tongkao’s third test paper, paper, and questioning not only requires literary talent but also information.
Song Tongkao read it very seriously. His first paper was good, but it didn't mean anything.
When Song Tongkao saw the second article "The Seventy-Two Virtues of Confucius, how can a wise man be?", Song Tongkao read it for a long time and couldn't help but nod.
Then go down, it's good, not bad. When I saw the strategy of governing the Japanese, Song Tongkao couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. It took a long time to raise his head and look at the two examiners.
"The lower official destroyed a beam." Song Tongkao bent down and bowed, sighing.
Examiner Zhang helped Song Tongkao up and exhorted, "Song Tongkao is also responsible for the emperor, why should you mind?"
Examiner Wang stroked his beard and looked at this scene, then put Zhu Ping'an's three-point test paper aside, took a piece of pen, and wrote a big word "中" on it.
Afterwards, the review site was busy again, with the review, recommendation and approval of papers, and all examiners were busy in an orderly manner.
A few days later, the paper was finished and while filling in the list, the two examiners discovered that the test paper they favored was actually written by a thirteen-year-old boy.
"If I had known that this son was thirteen years old, I would not have recorded it." Examiner Zhang sighed, quite regretful.
"Why? Is this boy not a talent?" Chief examiner Wang asked curiously.
"This boy is indeed a great talent. There is no problem with us choosing him to pass the imperial examination this time. However, I think it is best to postpone him for a few years. He is young and has a strong spirit and is too strong, so he may be able to boost his growth. Delaying that he will pass the imperial examination for a few years will make him more experienced, and this will be good for his development." Examiner Zhang stroked his beard and sighed.
Although examiner Zhang admired Zhu Ping'an's literary talent very much, he was worried that a young man who had just turned thirteen years old would become a high school juren. He was afraid that he would be complacent in the future and would gradually lose his ambition and would be worried that he would ruin him.
Examiner Wang looked at Examiner Zhang and shook his head, "I have already approved it, so I cannot change it."
"Brother Zhang knows that more than 60 years ago, there was also a thirteen-year-old boy who was awarded the title of juren and won the first place in one go?" Examiner Wang looked at Examiner Zhang and asked.
Examiner Zhang pondered for a moment.
"That Yang Ting and Lord Yang who have been making trouble for three dynasties and are powerful all over the world." Wang examiner said with a complicated look on his face, and then said in a warning tone, "How can Brother Zhang know how this son will grow in the future?"
"That's how I have to be more responsible to him, so that he can understand the truth that the sea of knowledge is endless, let him know that studying and entering an officialdom is not that simple, and let him not forget the principle of studying hard." Examiner Zhang said seriously.
"But we have approved it and cannot be changed." Examiner Wang shook his head and said.
"I know, so I sigh!" Zhang nodded and sighed. (To be continued.)
