Those who were allowed to leave the government office to watch outside the hall talked among themselves. Today's events were too weird. They thought that Xu Qian, a crazy student, would be more honest when he arrived at the prefect's government office. Who knew that what this man did was shocking.
He cursed an eunuch at the same time, but he actually cursed the prefect. This guy is really crazy.
But some people whispered: "I heard that it was Xu Qian who went up the mountain to hunt tigers. Do you still remember the "Linjiang Immortal"?"
"How is this possible? Xu Qian is just a student. How can he compose poems like "Linjiang Immortal"?"
"It is said that this man also wrote a poem in Gongshi, which was a poem that satirized the weaving eunuch Liu Eunuch. I just came from Gongshi, so I vaguely remember some of it. Although this poem is not as good as Linjiang Xian, it is full of laughter and anger.
The scolding and dialogue are neat, but it is also a rare masterpiece."
"If that's the case, then this person is really talented. How could he have written such poems if he wasn't very knowledgeable?"
Everyone was talking about it. Some people still thought Xu Qian was ignorant and incompetent, but some people thought highly of Xu Qian.
It's just that Cang Xuezheng suddenly had a tough attitude. This time he actually wanted to work with Xu Qian. He was a Qingliu and a Xuezheng from the same government. Although his official position was not as good as that of the prefect, the problem was Xu Qian's status as a student.
If Xu Qian is to be punished without evidence, Xuezheng cannot be avoided.
This is like if the emperor wants to clean up a certain clan, he still needs to ask the Zongling Mansion to cut off his clan status before he can punish him in the canon. As long as Cang Xuezheng insists on punishing Xu Qian, some people will think it is unfair.
It is an insult to politeness. Not only will it not sound good if it is said out loud, but it will also be difficult to deal with the consequences if the patrol officer finds out.
Magistrate Yuan gave Cang Xuezheng a hard look and said angrily: "Xu Qian, you claim that you did not commit fraud, but so many people are suing you. Is it just groundless? What kind of books can you read after you are a lowly servant?
How can I win the first place in the county and government examinations in one fell swoop?"
Xu Qian sneered in his heart: "If you want to impose a crime, there is no need to hesitate. This magistrate Yuan is afraid that he is already riding a tiger and is going to be in trouble with his own bayonet." He thought of the old man's teachings in his heart. Once it reaches the point where he will not stop fighting, he will never stop.
He could not be merciful and said sternly: "Students are loyal and virtuous queens."
Magistrate Yuan sneered: "What happens after Zhongliang!"
Xu Qian said: "Although students come from unfortunate families, they still adhere to the teachings of their ancestors. The books they read are all passed down by their ancestors. Although they have not forgotten their promotion, they dare not neglect their studies."
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Xu Qian just told Magistrate Yuan that I am not the son of an ordinary lowly servant. What's so strange about studying?
Cang Xuezheng took the opportunity to praise: "Although I have not been promoted to a higher level, I still study and understand the truth. This is how I can be strong without desire, without silk and bamboo to clutter my ears, and without fame and fame to disturb my mind. No wonder I can write such an article at such a young age."
Magistrate Yuan's expression was calm, but he was not in a hurry, and continued to ask: "Then I will ask you again. I heard that Magistrate Su has a close relationship with you, and even considers him a close friend. You often go to and from the county government office, and even
I sent two hundred silver coins to the county as a gift, are these true?"
Xu Qian said: "It's the truth."
Finally catching Sorefoot, Magistrate Yuan was refreshed. As long as he had an irreconcilable relationship with Magistrate Su, he would be punished for cheating in the Dongxi County Examination by this bastard named Xu, and the matter would be over.
"Since it is the truth, then Magistrate Su leaked the test questions to you and ranked you first in the county exam. Are these... the truth?"
Xu Qian shook his head and said: "That's nonsense!"
"You're so presumptuous, you still don't admit it?"
Xu Qian said frankly: "Magistrate Su really favors me. Firstly, because the student is a descendant of Zhongliang. Magistrate Su sympathizes with the student's family background and is particularly close to the student. Secondly, Magistrate Su values students' talents and learning, so many
Something to remind you."
When these words were spoken, Magistrate Yuan's eyes lit up. He said it was not an affair. How could he mention you if it was not an affair? You are the son of a lowly servant and a person who is not even a child. Why should the dignified county magistrate like you?
Talent and learning? This is a bit too pretentious.
Magistrate Yuan sneered again: "You said you are talented, then I ask you, what talent do you have, so that Magistrate Nasu made you a confidant and gave you some advice?"
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "Students go up the mountain to hunt tigers under their alias!"
Go up the mountain to hunt tigers...
The whole hall was in an uproar.
The only one who was confused was probably Magistrate Yuan. He was seriously ill during this period and didn't know who it was who went up the mountain to fight the tiger. He just saw Cang Xuezheng clapping his hands excitedly and saying: "You are the one who went up the mountain to fight the tiger. That song
Is Linjiang Fairy your improvised work? Yes, you also have a long sentence that is good for reading, and it is also refreshing, "Go up the mountain to fight the tiger... Haha... I didn't expect it to be you!"
Not to mention him, even the faces of several scholars who sued in the hall suddenly changed, especially Zhang Shulun, who said in horror: "You...how could you go up the mountain to fight tigers? Then...that Linjiang Immortal...Linjiang
The fairyland is long and the world has experienced all the vicissitudes of life. How can you, a young man...how..."
Not to mention them, even the scribe who was responsible for recording the court proceedings could not help but stop writing and looked at Xu Qian in shock, full of disbelief.
The people outside the hall were also like a pot of porridge exploding. Previously, some people only suspected that Xu Qian went up the mountain to hunt tigers, but not many people believed it. That song "Linjiang Immortal" caused Hangzhou to be shocked. How could it be written by a living member?
.But now that Xu Qian admitted it personally, naturally the discussion started again.
"He went up the mountain to hunt tigers? If so, then...then..."
"I remember that he also wrote a poem called "Reading is Good". Although the poem "Reading is Good" has artistic conception, it is still a lot worse than Linjiangxian. However, Studying is Good has the same meaning as Linjiangxian. I want to come here to go up the mountain.
This is really Xu Qian when it comes to hunting tigers."
"Unexpected...unexpected...really unexpected..."
Magistrate Yuan frowned, seeing everyone's reactions in his eyes. He suddenly had a bad premonition and felt that he had been cheated. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang Shulun.
Zhang Shulun was stunned for a moment. If he knew that Xu Qian went up the mountain to hunt tigers, he would not accuse Xu Qian of cheating even if he killed him. How could a person who could write such a poem cheat? Even if he wanted to deal with Xu Qian,
This method must not be used.
Magistrate Yuan slapped the case and shouted: "No noise in the courtroom, Xu Qian, I want to ask you, you said you went up the mountain to hunt tigers, but what does it have to do with Magistrate Su?"
Xu Qian looked at Magistrate Yuan sympathetically and said, "I go up the mountain to hunt tigers, so Magistrate Su loves my talent and learning and gives me lots of advice. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this."
At this time, Cang Xuezheng turned from worry to joy, stroking his beard and nodding repeatedly, saying: "Yes, yes, if I knew that there were such talented people under my rule, I would probably ask you to give some advice. Magistrate Su is kind.
Talented person, under the rule of Qiantang, with a person like you, it is inevitable that there will be the idea of promoting the underachievers. This is natural. Just raising points is one thing, but leaking cheating on test questions is another. But with your talent and learning,
There is no need for Magistrate Su to leak test questions. It is only natural that he should be ranked first in the county test."
Magistrate Yuan roughly understood that the man who went up the mountain to hunt tigers was actually a famous person in Hangzhou Prefecture. He had become famous recently. He didn't know it for the time being. Xu Qian claimed to be the one who went up the mountain to hunt tigers. Judging from everyone's faces, he was afraid that this person named Xu was really someone.
He was quite talented, at least he was a young talent in Hangzhou Prefecture. When the county magistrate heard that there was a talented person under his rule, he cared for him in every possible way. This would not only not arouse resentment from others, but would also make the Qing Dynasty talk about it.
Magistrate Yuan was such a smart man. He knew that he could no longer get entangled in this matter and could only break through it from other places, so he said: "But I have read your article in the imperial examination. Whether it is breaking the topic or ending, or even...
The handwriting is all in the favor of Cang Xuezheng. Do you dare to say that you didn't get the news in advance that Cang Xuezheng was the examiner? Although the test questions were not leaked in the government examination, the matter of Cang Xuezheng being the examiner has always been a secret. You
How do you know?"
Xu Qian smiled, very strangely, and then said: "May I ask, sir, why do students want to cheat with Cang Xuezheng?"
Magistrate Yuan said: "You are passionate about fame and want to be ranked first in the imperial examination. This is reasonable."
Xu Qian sneered: "Master Xie Qian Xie, the student industry teacher, dare I ask your lord, do students need to cheat?"
