"A young man becomes a disciple, who knows the depth?"
The marking officer who supported Chen Ping stood up and argued, "Besides, the person he later worshiped was Zhao Wenhe, who was also a great literary scholar in the world. No one knows his upright character. Everyone must have seen Chen Ping's achievements now!" "I still don't think it's right. It's said that you can fix your mind when you are young. But now the court is conducting a thorough investigation into corruption, so you still can't be contaminated. In my opinion, even if this person is ranked as the leader of the Five Classics, there is a huge risk."
The opposing marking officer sneered.
They are all old foxes who have been officials for many years. Everyone can see that his words are just alarmist.
The supportive marking officer secretly scolded the man for his bad intentions, but was too lazy to argue with him anymore. He just turned to look at the examiner, Fu Yizhen, and said, "Sir! We hold the Imperial Examination to test your true ability.
The sage Confucius was a role model for others. Wasn't Ran Qiu also a naughty boy in his early years? Yan Shu and Ouyang Xiu had a mentor-disciple relationship. However,
While Yan Shu was preparing for war, he was drinking and enjoying himself in the palace. Ouyang Xiu took the initiative to cut ties with him and parted ways. Who in the world would dare to say that Ouyang Xiu was wrong? How old was Chen Ping when he paid homage to Ye Wenchang? How could he be so young?
An enlightened teacher rejects someone with such great talent?!"
The supportive marking officer was deeply afraid that Fu Yizhen would be affected, so he banished Chen Ping to Wujingkui, and could not help but feel a little angry in his words.
He didn't ask for much, he just wanted Chen Ping's answer sheet to be among the top five in the Five Classics, even if he was ranked fifth.
Fu Yizhen was silent for a long time. After staring at the scroll for a long time, he finally felt that the answer had the air of a minister in the imperial court.
This answer sheet can be said to have gone beyond the scope of imperial examination questions.
Even if it were sent directly to the imperial court as a memorial, it would probably be more than enough.
No matter how hard you suppress it, it will eventually come out.
Moreover, the Dayu Dynasty already has rules that allow candidates to review the marking, so they don't press it just because they want to.
The circle in the whole article has already explained everything. After a long time, Fu Yizhen said: "After all, Ye Wenchang's incident happened many years ago. If we talk about teachers, Zhao Wenhe should also be taken into consideration. Besides, I vaguely remember that there was a locust plague and drought in Qianzhou.
At that time, the prefect of Qianzhou even asked for merit for this candidate...so we should follow the rules."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Although according to regulations, Wujingkui personnel need to be approved by all marking officers, in practice, who dares to object to the examiner's decision?
Moreover, Chen Ping's talent is obviously outstanding, and there are only one or two people with ulterior motives who oppose him.
Now that Fu Yizhen, as the examiner, has spoken, those who want to object do not dare to speak out again.
I saw Fu Yizhen writing the word "Chen Ping" in the most conspicuous position in the Five Classics.
The marking officer who strongly recommended Chen Ping was so excited that he couldn't help but look at other colleagues with pride.
Colleagues all raised their hands to say congratulations, and only the person who spoke so tit-for-tat smiled politely.
Fu Yizhen touched his beard, saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, smiled and said.
"Since there are no objections, the rankings have been decided. Thank you for your hard work over the past month."
All the examiners stood up and bowed in return.
"The results will be released on time tomorrow!"
The comprehensive examination, which is a huge undertaking and concerns the future of all candidates, is now over and will only be officially announced tomorrow.
The finalized list has been quietly circulated.
In a quiet corridor in the Gongyuan, a low exclamation suddenly came out.
"Come out, come out!"
The civil servant guarding the corridor came over happily and excitedly unfolded the note in his hand.
"Master Shangshu has published the list, and the top thirty of the Five Classics are all here..."
Before he finished speaking, the others immediately rushed forward and surrounded the civil servant.
"Show me quickly, I'll rush to ask for the reward!"
"Stop pushing, show me Wu Jing Kui!"
"Hey, who is this name? Chen Ping, it sounds familiar..."
The people in the corridor were extremely excited. After remembering all the names, they immediately dispersed.
Fu Yizhen walked out of the marking room and felt relieved. After staying in Gongyuan for a month, he can finally go out tomorrow.
……
The next morning it was clear and sunny.
People crowded outside the Gongyuan early, and the carriages blocked the road. Some people even waited here all night.
Chen Tianrui's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked longingly at the gate of Gongyuan, and finally heard a creak.
The gate of the Gongyuan opened, and a few tired marking officials came out first, followed by seventeen or eight people from the government.
Before Chen Tianrui could see clearly, these people got on their horses after going out and hurried to nowhere.
"These people are here to announce the good news!"
Someone exclaimed.
"Yes, yes, they will definitely try the first few wherever they go!"
As soon as these words came out, many people followed him curiously.
Chen Tianrui didn't know these rules. He just looked up at the retreating figures, as if they were appearing in all directions in the capital.
At this time, there was another exclamation from the crowd, and a group of soldiers walked out of the Gongyuan.
They carried the list that was half a person's height and walked towards the place where the list was pasted.
Although it had just dawned, the light was excellent. The soldiers worked together and quickly painted the list on the wall with paste.
The candidates immediately started making noises, and they subconsciously looked for their names from the end to the front.
Chen Tianrui's eyes instantly fell on the first name, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face instantly turned red.
"Hui, Huiyuan!!!"
The person standing next to him was stunned for a moment and looked sideways.
"Hui Yuan!" Chen Tianrui cried with joy. He danced and squeezed out while shouting: "Hui Yuan!! Young Master has won Hui Yuan!!!"
Although Tianxiang Pavilion is located in the busiest part of Donglong Street, the courtyard behind the alley is extremely quiet. After dark, you can hardly hear the sound of the watchman shouting.
Today is the day when the results are released. Chen Ping got up early, cleaned up, and prepared to go to Gongyuan to read the results.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard the commotion outside Tianxiang Pavilion.
"What's going on, Tim Rui? What's wrong?"
Chen Ping didn't see Chen Tianrui, so he walked towards the outer courtyard, but unexpectedly a group of people rushed in.
The clerks from Tianxiang Pavilion and a group of people they didn’t know, and people dressed in government attire were walking in front.
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen Ping, Qianzhou Senior High School for graduating from high school!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen Ping of Jiangxia Academy, for winning the first prize after winning the first prize!"
The crowd roared with congratulations like a tsunami, which suddenly stunned Chen Ping. Before he could react, a series of firecrackers sounded in the courtyard.
Panting, Chen Tianrui squeezed out of the crowd and grabbed Chen Ping, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Sir, you are at the top of the list, the Huiyuan! You have won four yuan in a row!"
When people who were originally joining in the fun heard this, they immediately exclaimed.
"Win four yuan in a row?!"
"I know that Mr. Chen ranked first in the county examination, government examination, and provincial examination before!"
"It's amazing!"
Everyone looked at Chen Ping with awe.
At this time, the news that Chen Ping of Qianzhou won four yuan in a row had been spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital by messengers.
Chen Ping finally reacted at this time, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He was originally worried that if he wrote too much, the marking officer would be unhappy, or even directly dismissed.
Fortunately, the final result is good.
Chen Ping quickly ordered to give gifts to those who came to congratulate him. Chen Tianrui had already prepared it. The waiter came out with a plate and handed out red envelopes to everyone one by one.
"Thank you for reporting the good news. I will treat you to tea with this little money!"
Before everyone dispersed, Cheng Cheng and Xie Zhiyuan also rushed to Tianxiang Pavilion at the same time.
"Junior brother!" Cheng Cheng looked even happier than he was for winning the first place, "You are so proud of me, Hui Yuan!"
Behind him, Xie Zhiyuan stepped forward excitedly and gave Chen Ping a bear hug.
"The first Huiyuan of the Dayu Dynasty! God, do you know what this means?"
Chen Ping was a little confused and asked: "What does it mean?"
"You are so happy that you are stupid!" Xie Zhiyuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course it means that after the imperial examination, the emperor will definitely come to you for questioning."
Huiyuan, who scored four yuan in a row, is an 18-year-old genius who stands out among more than 7,000 candidates.
Not to mention the common people in the capital, even the officials above the court would look askance at Chen Ping's surprise.
Chen Ping didn't take this too seriously. He just grabbed Cheng Cheng's hand and asked, "Brother, where are you? Have you been hit?"
"I haven't seen it yet. The man who gave you the good news yelled all the way. I heard him and came over. I'm going to take a look now..."
Chen Ping was speechless. His heart was not ordinary.
Cheng Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but Xie Zhiyuan grabbed him and said, "Why are you running while I'm here? You won, and you're ranked tenth on the B list."
"Damn! Then what are you waiting for!" Cheng Cheng slapped his knee hard, "Tian Rui hurry up and prepare some more wallets for me. Master, I will also give out rewards today!"
The courtyard of Tianxiang Pavilion suddenly burst into laughter, and the two announcers looked at each other happily.
This trip to announce the good news was worth it!
