Thirty-four, farewell without saying goodbye (Part 2)
The time of waiting for the results is not as difficult as everyone imagined, because they have determined one thing, the top spot must be one of them. So apart from not knowing who can get the top spot, they have no worries at all, although they have
It is inevitable that someone will lose the selection, but that is because their writing skills are not as good as others. After all, they have worked hard, and they were only brushed off in the third game. Even if they told others, they are proud enough!
*****************
"Sir Hu, I feel that the candidates who took the exam this time are all very impressive, especially the group of students from Sankui Academy. Look, I roughly classified them into categories. The content they wrote seems to be divided into three categories.
The factions are discussing this test question, and the content of each faction is roughly the same, just like they themselves know the question and discuss it with each other. However, the possibility that they can know the question is zero, because this is before the emperor's exam.
The questions that were just given were only learned during the exam." In Zhankui Hall, the bachelor Niu Furen in charge of marking the exam papers said while holding a stack of exam papers.
"Oh, is that right? Are you holding all the exam papers from Sankui Academy this time? Show it to me. You can tell me how great they are. Haha, there are many people who can be praised by you, Master Niu.
Not much!" Mr. Hu said while sipping the tea.
Niu Furen handed the dozens of test papers in his hand to Hu Xuefeng, the director of Zhankui Hall. Even Niu Furen felt that Hu Xuefeng's knowledge was slightly inferior.
Hu Xuefeng looked at the test papers one after another with great interest. They were all sorted and sorted. At first, he took a rough look at them, but the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became. As a last resort, he looked at them carefully again.
"Huh!" Hu Xuefeng exhaled a long breath, straightened up and said slowly: "Sankui Academy is worthy of being the academy that has won the top spot three times in a row. If it weren't for its remote location on the border, the road would be quite inconvenient.
, I think the emperor will personally go and see this academy that has won the first place for three consecutive years! Who is this Qi Zhengzhong? I remember that the teacher who led the team last time was not Wang Shouli? Why didn't he come?"
"I don't know either. Now I only know that Qi Zhengzhong, the teacher of Sankui Academy, is very young. He is even younger than some of the candidates. At the beginning, I didn't pay attention. I just thought it was Sankui.
The academy hired a replacement at odd hours. As long as the students didn't speak, it was hard for them to interfere. But after the last exam, I heard something very interesting. The students from Sankui Academy actually returned to the small courtyard together.
I gave a big salute to that young gentleman and paid homage to him. I have read their articles and they are all very talented, which convinced these students. I am afraid that this Qi Zhengzhong really has real talent and learning.
Also, my lord, have you ever thought about why the answers to this exam and their Sankui Academy papers almost all have the same argument? The only difference is their personal writing skills. Coupled with their behavior after the exam, I boldly
I speculated whether Qi Zhengzhong had specially explained these things to them, so they were divided into three factions!"
"This, and it's very possible, this is a test paper divided into three schools. The only difference is in the emphasis, but without exception, they all mentioned a sentence at the end about cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world!
I will send the test paper to the emperor and the ministers overnight for review. It seems that this year’s top candidate will definitely be in Sankui Academy again!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that such a famous academy would come out of a border town, surpassing all the time-honored academies in the past. Shouldn't we write to the emperor to ask the emperor to move Sankui Academy to the capital? This way
It may allow more scholars to get better education!" Niu Furen said.
Hu Xuefeng, who was packing up the test papers, smiled and shook his head, and said to Niu Furen: "Master Niu, I think it's better not to mention this matter, just in case if Sankui Academy is moved to the capital, it will no longer be the leader.
What should I do? It’s hard to say. Maybe Sankui Academy is located in a border area, and they have good Feng Shui to win the top spot. Once they move, the Feng Shui will be destroyed, and the consequences will be disastrous. Feng Shui
It has been said since ancient times, so you and I should be careful about it!" After saying this, Hu Xuefeng picked up the examination papers and went to the palace overnight to meet the emperor.
***********************
"Gentlemen, what do you think of this college entrance examination?" In the upper study room of Wenluan Kingdom's palace, the emperor asked as he looked at several powerful figures in Wenluan Kingdom.
The ministers below have circulated the test paper. Although they have not read it carefully, they already know the general content, especially the last sentence, which can be called a classic. If it only appeared on one candidate's test paper,
It can be explained that this student is a rare talent, but now that this sentence appears on all the examination papers of Sankui Academy, it is different. It is obvious that they heard it from somewhere else. Where did they hear it?
What about? Most likely it is their master Qi Zhengzhong.
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring that guy from Sankui Academy..." Prime Minister Liu Shenyan stood up and said: "That Qi Zhengzhong, let me find him and ask him to question him carefully. If he is really a talent, then he is
The blessing of the imperial court and the prosperity of the country!"
"No, Your Majesty, it's the time for the college entrance examination. If you suddenly ask a gentleman to question you, I'm afraid it will affect the scholars of Zhankui Hall in judging the papers. I think it's better to send the papers back and let the bachelors of Zhankui Hall judge the papers.
.
Wait until the papers are judged and the general examination is over, and then send someone to test him out first. If he is really a talent that can be cultivated, it will not be too late to summon him!" Zhang Yan, the Taifu, stood up and said.
His words were immediately recognized by everyone present. Even the emperor nodded and said: "As the Taifu said, after the exam is over, Zhuo Niu Furen will go and have a look. This Qi
Is Zhengzhong really full of knowledge?"
************************
Qi Zhengzhong in the academy still doesn't know that his teachings have brought him unexpected troubles, but even if he knows, he won't care, because now he is planning how to secretly
He walked away. This group of students followed him all day long, especially Zhang Cheng, who was like a tail. He followed Qi Zhengzhong wherever he went.
Let's drive them away. They say what they say plausibly. If there is something wrong, the disciples will do their duty, serve tea and water, sweep the couch and make the bed. They have already taken care of everything. They also repeatedly said that this time they won a gold medal in the college entrance examination.
Yuanbao, the article doesn’t even need to be conceived. It has already been deeply ingrained in my mind, so I just reached out and read it.
Because the emperor said that he hoped that the bachelors of Zhankui Palace could mark the papers quickly. This group of people worked hard and spent four days to mark all the more than 200 examination papers, and then sealed them.
They were sent to the palace together and asked the emperor to judge whether they would be number one, number two or number three.
The emperor looked at the ten examination papers, and seven of them came from Sankui Academy, and they included three viewpoints. The emperor was also dazzled for a while. Although he had read it last time, he did not take a closer look at it. This time, he took a closer look.
A closer look shows that each of the three views is a work of benefit to the world.
Having no choice but to choose, he took one copy of each of the three views and listed them as the top three. After Zhu Bihong approved them, they handed them over to the eunuch and returned them to Zhan Kui Hall. The list will be released tomorrow, and then the top three will be recruited to the palace.
*************************
"Look, all the top three places this year have been taken by Sankui Academy." Candidate A shouted exaggeratedly.
"Not only that, you see, out of the ten students, there are six from Sankui Academy!" Candidate B shouted sadly and angrily.
"Even the quota for idle officials includes 18 people from Sankui Academy! In total, 27 people have been admitted to Sankui Academy. God, why didn't I listen to my father and go to Sankui Academy to study?
!" Candidate B howled loudly.
The news that Sankui Academy had won most of the admission places in one fell swoop quickly spread to all the teachers and students in Zhankui Hall. However, no one from Sankui Academy was present.
After another long time, they arrived in groups outside Zhankui Hall, with congratulatory sounds all the way.
Until I saw the list: No. 1 (Zhang Cheng), No. 2 (Liu Wenzheng), and No. 3 (Su Ren). The names of the three were marked in large numbers at the top of the imperial list, which was extremely conspicuous.
