Many failed candidates still feel that it is unfair to change the judging method temporarily, but this is the decision of a group of examiners, that is, the decision of the court. Even if they are dissatisfied, they do not dare to shout with the court, and they all hang their heads and leave, preparing for three years
Fight again later.
The rest of the names on the list and some people who liked to watch the fun stayed where they were, looking at the three names on the list and talking constantly.
"I didn't expect that Qin Fei would be number one on the list!"
"Yeah, I thought it was Yu Chun, but I didn't expect that he was only third on the A list this time. You must know that he is Jieyuan who came from the five states of Gyeonggi Province. It seems that our country of Ning is still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. This second
The name Fang Jin seems to be from Huaizhou, right?"
"That's right, he and Mr. Tang came from Huaizhou together!"
"It seems that Huaizhou is really talented!"
"..."
There are only three people on the A list. Being on the A list shows that they are all the best in this provincial examination and will naturally become the envy and admiration of all the candidates.
Little did they know that these three people were drinking flower wine in a flower house in the city.
The long-faced man in white clothes was lying on the table, his face was a little rosy, he was holding a wine cup in his hand, and he burped: "Lao Yu, are you lying to us?"
Sitting opposite him was a young gentleman who looked very polite. His face was also red and he shook his head: "This is the news that came out from Gongyuan just this morning. It is absolutely true and cannot be wrong."
After listening to Yu Chun's words, Qin Fei nodded, took another sip of wine, and complained: "This Tang Ji is too ruthless. He understands Ming Jing, arithmetic, law, poetry, astronomy and geography, and can even make people
The examiner changed the way he judged papers because of him. Is he still a human being? Those bullies teased him before for not even taking the state exam. Does his face hurt now?"
"Okay, don't get an advantage and act like a good boy. This time the political commentary and judgment laws have changed, you will definitely do better than me." Yu Chun waved his sleeves lightly, took a sip of light wine, couldn't help but sigh, and then turned his gaze towards the building.
Next: "Why hasn't Xiao Anzi come back? Logically speaking, Gongyuan should have released the results long ago, right?"
The three of them made an appointment to have a drink together yesterday. Although their abilities are there and they are not worried about failing, they are still more concerned about their results!
"Hey, if you want to know the results in a hurry, why don't you go and see for yourself?" Qin Fei giggled twice, turned to look at Fang Jin, who had been silent, and said, "Brother Fang, aren't you and that Tang Ji the same?"
Is he from Huaizhou? Is his poetry attainment really as good as what is said?"
Fang Jin's face was indifferent, he nodded slightly, and told the story about Tang Ji's participation in the poetry meeting in Huaizhou.
Then, he also sighed softly: "With him here, I'm afraid I will always be the second most talented person in Huaizhou."
After listening, Qin Fei lay directly on the table: "Don't be sad, we can't surpass Tang Ji. According to me, he is more than enough to be the most talented person in Ningguo. Among his poems, my favorite is "Broken Array"
》, when I was drunk, I lit up the lamp to read the sword, and dreamed about the company blowing the trumpets. This sense of artistic conception, tsk tsk tsk, hey, I also like to write poems, but I can’t write the artistic conception. I will have to ask him for advice when I have the opportunity!”
"No wonder His Majesty doesn't mind Mr. Tang's status as a scholar, specially recruited him to the court, and still attaches great importance to him. He is also not as good as the weak crown. The gap between us and him is still too big. He can indeed bear the responsibility of being the 'number one scholar in Ningguo'!"
Yu Chun shook the wine bottle and added.
Hearing this, Fang Jin showed a helpless smile, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
But the chat content of the three of them happened to be heard by several scholars sitting next to them. After several discussions, they also agreed with this view. Therefore, Tang Ji's title of "Ning Guo's No. 1 Talent" quickly increased at a terrifying speed.
spread in the city.
...
"The most talented person in Ningguo?"
In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Ning was sitting on the dragon chair, holding in his hand the corrected examination paper that belonged to Tang Ji. With a slight smile on his lips, he murmured: "If the scholars in the world know that this number one scholar can write well,
Not as good as a three-year-old child, I wonder what they will think!"
"To be honest with your majesty, I think Tang Ji is short of time. If he is given enough time, he should be able to write a qualified article." In Shen Di's eyes, Tang Ji's poetry attainments are so high, and he can clearly explain the scriptures.
If the topic is good, I must have read enough poems and books to avoid writing a bad article.
Ning Huang sneered lightly. He knew that Tang Ji had the ability to have a photographic memory, so in Tang Ji's eyes, Ming Jing questions were nothing. But he was not interested in whether that brat could write a good article, as long as he could write a good article.
As long as you are loyal to him when serving the imperial court, letting Tang Ji answer the question in this provincial examination is also to stop the mouths of those ignorant people. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He raised his eyes slightly and found that Shen Di was still kneeling.
There: "Prime Minister Shen, you have worked hard these days and have made great achievements. Please come up as soon as possible!"
Shen Di raised his old, wrinkled hands, trembling slightly: "Old minister, I don't dare. I failed to teach my children and grandchildren well, and let Yun Chu cause trouble to the court and your majesty."
Hearing this, Emperor Ning shook his head: "How could I blame you? He was also deceived by others. I also told him before that I asked the imperial army to be gentle on him. Alas, teach him well from now on and don't let him make mistakes again.
!”
Shen Di cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty."
Later, Emperor Ning saw him standing up and continued to ask: "Prime Minister Shen, do you think the method of managing the army in the northwest proposed by Tang Ji is feasible?"
"I haven't discussed it with the adults in the Ministry of War and the military generals, so I don't know yet. Moreover, the method written by Tang Ji on the examination paper is still too simple. I want to talk to him in a few days, and then give the answer to Your Majesty after discussion.
." Shen Di's voice was slightly hoarse, but still solemn.
Emperor Ning raised his eyebrows slightly. Tang Ji had previously mentioned a strategy to help develop commerce in the northwest. After discussing with the officials, he thought it was feasible. Unexpectedly, he now proposed ways to raise and manage troops. This should have made him feel gratified.
, but thinking that that brat is like an old cow, twitching and moving, and never taking the initiative to propose strategies, he became very angry. He snorted: "You can do whatever you want, boy, give me a good beating."
he!"
"Yes, I obey the order." Shen Di also felt that Tang Ji was an interesting junior who was worth cultivating. Whether it was for the future of his Shen family or simply to appreciate him, that boy was just a little slippery, always looking for excuses.
I had to find an opportunity to give it a good beating. I stopped thinking about it and said, "Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Shen. Let's go back and rest for two days." Emperor Ning raised his hand and waved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." Shen Di replied and walked slowly out of the palace.
After he left, Emperor Ning stared outside the palace and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Haha, is he the most talented person in the Ning Kingdom?"
