Chapter 320 It is said that this is an exam-oriented article?

The prefecture government and the Prefecture Confucianism Administration were well prepared this time, and actually dispelled the grievances of the scholars after the results were released to prevent scholars from causing trouble.

Even those who have passed the government examination say that Zhu Hao's talent and learning are far above their own. Even if those who have not passed the government examination are making trouble, they are not justified. After all, those who passed the government examination this time are basically ordinary people.

It is recognized that people with good knowledge are better, but some people with poor knowledge are not allowed to pass...

In this way...

When a crime occurs, it really becomes a crime. Going to see the results is just to see the results. It is rare to be as pure as today outside Gongyuan.

When Tang Yin and Wang Shouren arrived at the Confucian Temple, they saw that most of the people who were releasing the results had already left. Naturally, most of them failed the exam and returned home in despair. They would then improve their knowledge and compete again in the next government exam.

As for those who pass the exam, they have to go back and prepare for the exam. After all, the government exam is just a transitional exam. The purpose of scholars these days is to gain fame. The key battle is the college exam.

Compared with county examinations and government examinations, college examinations are more formal. The examiner is the deputy academic envoy of the province. Naturally, the level of question setting and marking is not comparable to that of ordinary quizzes.

Tang Yin took Wang Shouren to the place and took a quick look. It was sparsely populated and there were not many people left.

I couldn't help but start to wonder, could it be that Zhu Hao failed this time's imperial examination? Or did he pass the test at the lower end? That's why these scholars didn't make a fuss...

If Zhu Hao ranked high, these scholars would definitely rebel.

In the past, it was only the scholars from Changshou County who were making trouble, but now the government examination has included candidates from Jingshan County, and the battle must be huge. These days, scholars making trouble is a very troublesome thing for the government. If there is a crying temple or something,

The matter will escalate in a matter of minutes, and once the local supervisory censor gets involved, people in the local government will be implicated.

Tang Yin thought to himself that this can only be understood as Kuang Yangming deliberately lowered Zhu Hao's ranking in order to calm the public anger. Otherwise, with Zhu Hao's talent and learning, he should have no problem crushing the local scholars who participated in the government examination.

Even if you are not good enough, you can still get into the top three.

"The atmosphere of local scholars is very simple."

Wang Shouren was filled with emotion when he saw that the results release scene was in order and no one gathered together to angrily criticize the unfairness of the examination.

It should be said that Wang Shouren also came all the way from the imperial examination field. Based on his understanding of previous imperial examinations, scholars are a bit thorny. However, the Ming court was very polite, especially after the Hongzhi Dynasty. From the cabinet elders to the ministers, everyone

He was a great Confucian, and the imperial court's protection of scholars reached its peak.

Once a scholar's status reaches a high level, he likes to make trouble.

Once the results of the local imperial examinations are released, there will always be those ignorant people who jump out to make trouble, feeling that their talents are not recognized, and insisting on re-marking or jointly petitioning for a re-examination, etc... the list goes on.

And the scholars in Anlu didn't feel any emotion at all when they saw that they had failed the exam when the results were released?

That's why Wang Shouren said that the local scholars have a simple and honest custom.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps the results this time are more convincing."

He wanted to say, you haven't seen the bustle when the results were released in the first county examination a month ago. Somehow this group of people suddenly changed their gender this time? Or maybe they have already gone to make trouble, but the location is not in the Confucian Temple, but

Is it the state government?

"What a pity. I hope I can pass the exam next time, otherwise I will have no hope in my life."

There happened to be a group of scholars passing by. One of them, a Confucian scholar in his thirties who had never even passed the government examination, had a depressed look on his face and kept expressing his emotions.

Tang Yin pointed in the direction of the bulletin board. Lu Song, who was accompanying him, understood and hurried to check the situation. He stopped after taking a few steps because he happened to see Yuan Rulin coming towards this direction accompanied by a servant of the Yuan family.

, at this time Yuan Rulin looked happy, obviously having passed the government examination.

"Rulin?"

Tang Yin called out, attracting Yuan Rulin's attention.

"Hello, sir."

Yuan Rulin quickly came over to salute Tang Yin.

Tang Yin introduced with a smile: "Bo'an, this is the eldest grandson of Yuan Changshi. I will consult with Zhu Hao for this government examination. Rulin, please meet Mr. Wang soon."

Yuan Rulin quickly saluted and greeted Wang Shouren again.

Tang Yin asked: "Rulin, how did you do in the exam? What's Zhu Hao's situation like?"

"I passed the government examination and ranked 38th. Zhu Hao was the head of the case." Yuan Rulin answered directly.

"this……"

Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.

Zhu Hao is actually the leader of the crime again?

This result was not what he expected, but the reaction of the scholars present made him unexpected. Zhu Hao won the first prize in the government examination case. These guys with high eyesight didn't make a fuss?

Or is it that Zhu Haozhong, the county examiner, got the only place recommended for promotion, so the scholars made such a fuss, while the prefectural examiner was just an honor, with no extra convenience, and the scholars didn't bother to make trouble?

Yuan Rulin explained: "When the results were published, the state government specially posted Zhu Hao's articles on the bulletin board for the candidates to taste. Almost all the candidates were convinced of Zhu Hao's literary talent and left in dismay after reading it. Sir, student

I’m going home first, I have to inform my family of the good news as soon as possible.”

"Go ahead."

Tang Yin sent Yuan Rulin away. Originally, he didn't want to see the list in person. He could just find someone to see the results. Anyway, he only cared about the results of Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin at most. He didn't care about other people's rankings at all, but he heard that this time Zhu Hao

The article was posted on the list for publicity, and Tang Yin suddenly felt that it was necessary to go forward and see it with his own eyes.

But there were guests nearby. After all, they were accompanying Wang Shouren. He was the governor of southern Ganxi. Would he go with him to see such a low-level thing as the official announcement?

"Brother Bohu, why don't we come forward and take a look together?"

Wang Shouren took the initiative to extend the invitation.

"I think so too."

Tang Yin smiled and nodded.

Now Wang Shouren stepped forward in person. Because there were officials in front of him to clear the way, the road was smooth. When he got to the bulletin board, the surrounding scholars consciously avoided it.

as expected.

Zhu Hao's name is listed at the top of the desk, and next to it is an eight-legged essay, which is the first of the four essays that Zhu Hao passed in this government examination.

"It's true that a gentleman is far away from the chef, this boy... haha." Tang Yin murmured to himself, squinting at Zhu Hao's article, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Wang Shouren said: "The local academic style is very special. They actually list the articles at the beginning of the case like this?"

Tang Yin did not answer, and Lu Song on the side explained: "Wang Zhongcheng, it's like this. The person who was the first person in the Zhongfu examination was the young master of the Zhu family. He was only nine years old. During the county examination, the person who was the first person in the county examination was slandered by the scholars of the county.

This may be done to silence everyone in Youyou.”

Wang Shouren smiled and said nothing.

Then Wang Shouren glanced at Zhu Hao's article and nodded again: "Bohu, this article is word for word, it is full of freedom, and there is no falsehood in the words. It is not comparable to articles written by ordinary Confucian scholars... It seems that you have taught a good student."

"

Tang Yin said hurriedly: "No, no, I didn't teach him these things, he learned them all by himself."

Wang Shouren was very surprised. Normally, for a smart kid like Zhu Hao, everyone would rush to be his teacher to show his high level of teaching. However, Zhu Hao was clearly studying in the palace, and Tang Yin was his teacher, so Zhu Hao still called him teacher, but he still called him teacher.

Why was Tang Yin so eager to clear up the relationship?

"The article is full of passion and perfectly fits Kuang Zhizhou's current state of mind. So his experience in writing articles should have been imparted to him by you, right?" Wang Shouren continued to ask.

You said that Zhu Hao's knowledge was not taught by you, but that he was self-taught, which makes sense.

You can write articles to suit the examiner's mood and write articles that the examiner wants to see. It's not something that a child can know, right? You can always contribute to it!

If you hadn't reminded Zhu Hao of this before the exam, how could he, a nine-year-old child, understand Kuang Yangming's current state of mind?

Tang Yin was smiling, but his face looked a little ugly when he heard this, and he became angry when this was mentioned.

I'm still teaching him. It's good that he didn't teach me.

"Bo'an, you're not very familiar with this kid Zhu Hao. His ability to detect subtleties in others is so good that even I... feel ashamed of myself sometimes, let alone ordinary kids. I didn't even mention him before the exam.

If this bandit suppression is successful, I will rely more on him to provide advice."

Tang Yin would never take credit in front of people in the palace, never conceal Zhu Hao's ability, and would not deliberately elevate himself in front of an outsider like Wang Shouren.

If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not, free and easy.

Wang Shouren frowned slightly.

He didn't have the nerve to ask before, didn't Zhu Hao write this article for him because of you?

A child can write such a smooth and mature article, but there are some tricks in it, and you have made such a great contribution to local officials and the gentry and the common people. You meet with the magistrate Kuang Yangming every day, ask questions for the students, and then write another one.

If he is asked to memorize an article and then enter the examination room to copy it, no one will pursue it as long as the matter is not too big.

But after hearing what Tang Yin said, Wang Shouren felt that it was not a joke.

Tang Yin is like this. He speaks his mind and is frank and forthright. It is obviously unrealistic for him to lose his reputation just for the sake of a student's future.

It is said that Tang Yin's future was ruined because of a fictitious title proposal. It stands to reason that he is very repulsive to the title proposal.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but wonder, is that boy Zhu Hao really so talented and knowledgeable that Tang Yindu can praise him? He is even so ashamed that he is embarrassed to be his husband?

Thinking of meeting Tang Yin on the first day in Anlu, this old friend was forced to the point where he looked embarrassed and almost went crazy. But after meeting Zhu Hao, he was able to deal with it with ease under Zhu Hao's guidance...

I didn't think about it carefully before, but now it seems that it is really the case.

"If it's true what you said, Bohu, then his achievements in the future will be limitless."

Wang Shouren re-examines Zhu Hao's article.

From Zhu Hao's articles, he can see sky-high ambitions and an indescribable feeling...

There is a Neo-Confucian style in Zhu Hao's words, but it seems that he is just trying to cater to the mood of the examiner. Wang Shouren carefully thought about it, and he can actually find a shadow of Xinxue in it. It is a kind of pursuit of authenticity in everything, not entangled in the cycle of natural principles, but more

Pay attention to the inner connection between things and pursue spiritual breakthroughs...

Wang Shouren originally just came with Tang Yin to walk around and talk to each other.

Who would have thought that after reading Zhu Hao’s article twice, he would actually want to read it a third time?

He was surprised in his heart: "This is just an essay for a government examination, and it was written by a nine-year-old child? There are not many words, and the truth is not very profound. Why was I so inspired after reading it, and I still want to think more about it?"

Read it several times and study it carefully?”

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Zhu Hao's article was naturally taken seriously when he encountered the knowledgeable Wang Shouren.
