In this way, Zhao Kai left Tai'an City leisurely and leisurely on his donkey Xiao Bei. When he came, he was empty, but when he left, he was full of rewards.
"Taian City, I will come back one day. Some debts have not yet been paid!"
A few days later, in Tai'an City, the imperial examination had ended, and then it was time for the examiners to mark the papers.
In order to prevent the gems from being forgotten in the ocean, each candidate's examination paper must be reviewed by several officials. After several examiners select the better works among them, they are submitted to the chief examiner for review, and the ranking is determined.
The examiner for this examination was none other than Huan Wen, a veteran of the two dynasties, Imperial Academy Zuo Jiu Huan Wen, known as Tan Tan Weng. He was the smoothest person in life, so he was the examiner for the imperial examinations in previous years.
"The content is pretty good, but the writing is too poor and the logic is not clear enough. I'll give it a B rating,"
"The test paper for this one is pretty good, but the perspective is a bit poor. I'll give it a B grade."
"This seems to be plagiarism, so I'd better give it a C rating."
"This..."
After reading dozens of articles in a row, he still couldn't find a test paper that he was very satisfied with, that is, the young phoenix of the Song family, so he reluctantly gave it to a junior.
"It seems that this year's candidates are the same as usual. There is nothing special. It is estimated that the first place in this examination can only be selected from those under the first class," Huan Wen said with some helplessness. After decades of serving as an official, all he has done is
There are indeed too many articles that he has seen, but perhaps only a few of them really catch his eye.
"I don't know who said that all the heroes in the world can fall into my lap. I'm afraid I can't do it with just these heroes! Hey, the writing is pretty good and the writing is smooth. Isn't that what everyone in calligraphy can do? Let me see, Guangling Road
Chen Xiaokai, Eight Kingdoms Theory? He is quite good at reviewing topics."
What Huan Wen saw was Zhao Kai's answer sheet. The beginning of the article was like telling a story, telling how Li Yang swept from a small border country to become the overlord of the world. He also analyzed the reasons why each country was destroyed one by one. The content was fascinating and at the same time
The angle of analysis was also quite accurate. Huan Wen kept nodding and applauding.
If you are not someone who is familiar with the history of each country, you simply cannot do it.
Next, he talks about some of the problems currently faced by Liyang. It can be said that every problem is put to the point, and Huan Wen can't help but applaud.
"I didn't expect that this person is not only knowledgeable about the past and present, but also has such a thorough understanding of the current situation. If nothing else, just based on his writing style and his insights, I would give him a top grade in anything he said. Not bad, hey, he actually gave me a good answer.
Solution?! It seems that he is still an able minister in governing the country! Good!"
When he saw the grace order written by Zhao Kai, he was already shocked beyond measure.
"This! This, this is such a genius. God, what an amazing and brilliant idea this is!"
Huan Wen immediately jumped up from his chair. He had been an official for decades and an examiner for more than ten years. This was the first time he had seen such a wild and unconstrained national policy but could not find fault with it. This was nothing compared to Xun Ping's rule of the country.
Twenty-one omissions,
"Could it be another Xun Ping?" Xun Ping, the master of the Spring and Autumn Period, was the man who single-handedly established the hegemony of the Liyang Dynasty. His achievements were no less than that of Xu Xiao, who swept across the Six Kingdoms.
Finally, when he saw Zhao Kai's four wishes in his life, his eyes filled with tears. He was so young but had such an innocent heart. It was really rare. After reading the examination paper, this old man who was over fifty years old directly collected it.
got up,
Originally, when he saw the edict of grace, he had the idea of passing this shocking document to the emperor, but when he saw the last four wishes of his life, he hesitated.
"Quick, prepare your carriage and horses, take me to see Biyan'er!" After seeing such an excellent article, this Tantanweng was not handed over to the emperor immediately, but to Zhang Julu, who in the eyes of outsiders was his sworn enemy!
"Biyaner, this is incredible. Guess what I saw? A stunning work! Hahaha, old man, I have never seen such an outstanding article in my decades of service as an official!"
As soon as he arrived at the Prime Minister's Palace, Huan Wen couldn't wait to show him Zhao Kai's paper, just like a child who got something good and couldn't wait to share it with his friends! But when he saw Zhang Julu holding a copy in his hand,
When I was reading the same paper, I was obviously stunned for a moment, and my eyes were full of question marks. Did Zhong Shusheng's hand stretch out that long?
"Bi Yan'er, where did you get this article!?"
Huan Wen didn't pay much attention to the excitement. At this time, his heart could not calm down for a long time. Zhao Kai's grace order really surprised him, but in the end, it was the four wishes in his life that really made him burst into tears. Zhao Kai's four wishes
The wish is not his wish!
It can be said that every sentence Zhao Kai wrote was written from the bottom of his heart.
"Bi Yaner, I can't wait to meet this young man. It is said that he was the most talented person in the world who was highly praised by the students a while ago! Now it seems that he is indeed qualified! You couldn't write like this when you were young
An article about it? No, I can’t write it now.”
"You said, should we show this article to His Majesty?" Huan Wen said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, everyone in the world wants to see this kind of article, but Your Majesty is not sure. I will find a way to spread this article after the ranking is released,"
Huan Wen also nodded. He knew the emperor's character relatively well. If he had seen it first, he would probably have hidden this article directly. After all, no emperor wants to see a world where all living beings are equal, nor does he want to
Let others hear these remarks.
"It's a pity that these four wishes will become empty talk. How can there be any equality in this world?" Huan Wen said with some emotion. The world he has seen has always been that those in the upper class are in a state of debauchery and luxury, while those in the lower class are starved of food.
.
"But it's not completely useless. At least it can plant a seed and a goal in the hearts of scholars all over the world." Huan Wen thought of Xun Ping for no reason. How high-spirited he was, but in the end he still couldn't escape being cooked.
ending.
"That's not necessarily true. Others may say these words as empty talk, but that's not necessarily true for him."
The corners of Zhang Julu's mouth turned up slightly. He had no doubt at all whether Zhao Kai's words came from his heart. If a person who broke through Confucianism, Taoism, and Celestialism in front of him lied, how could he be recognized by Heaven?
"Bi Yan'er, are you hiding something from me?"
Huan Wen was still asking, but Zhang Julu on the side had already laughed out loud,
"Ha ha ha ha"
The next day is the day that countless candidates have been waiting for the results to be released. Whether they will get promoted and make a fortune or go home to farm depends on today.
As the red list was unveiled, the names of hundreds of candidates on the list were hung high on the red paper. The most eye-catching one was the one at the top of the list. At the top of the list were written a few words.
characters
First place in the 12th year of Yonghui examination, Huiyuan:
Guangling Road Chen Xiaokai!
Chen Xiaokai was undoubtedly the biggest winner in this imperial examination. In their view, the most satisfying thing in life was to be named on the gold list.
However, this result did not surprise many candidates present. Chen Xiaokai's previous deeds of winning seven out of seven games are still vivid in their minds.
Chen Xiaokai has long been recognized by them as the number one talent in the world. This ranking only confirms his talent. What the candidates are most concerned about is whether they are on the list and how amazing this Huiyuan essay is!
As if in response to their expectations, an article called Zhuangyuan's Essay soon spread. As more and more people paid attention, soon, Zhao Kai's "Eight Kingdoms" had spread throughout the world.
The whole world has moved countless people who know how to read and write! As Tantanweng said, a seed has been planted!
After ten years of hard work, no one asked, but once he became famous all over the world, countless people on the street were talking about the name Chen Xiaokai. In the eyes of many scholars, Chen Xiaokai is just like Wang Xianzhi, who is second in the world in martial arts and is invincible in the world.
, like the sun and moon hanging in the sky, elusive and out of reach!
Countless people gathered around the inn where Zhao Kai had stayed, wanting to see with their own eyes the elegance of the most talented man in the world and to feel happy. However, what shocked everyone was that this world-famous talent seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Generally speaking, he disappeared directly, and Chen Xiaokai was nowhere to be found in the entire Tai'an City.
