Skills: Level 4 physical enhancement
One bow, calligraphy, clone doll X1.
System Mall: Golden Space, Physical Enhancement, Language Pack, Face Changing Mask, Art Pack.
Anti-thief value: 71 points.
Lin Yi opened his hand, and there was a small palm-sized doll in his hand. It looked a bit like Baymax, with fat arms, fat legs, and a round head, but there were no facial features on the face.
Give it a pinch.
It's soft, very elastic, and feels somewhat like latex.
Lin Yi checks the system,
"The clone doll can be opened by the player by injecting a drop of blood and a trace of mental power. The size of the doll can be adjusted. The physical ability is the same as the player's original state. There is no distance limit for mental control communication switching."
Lin Yi was delighted,
This doppelganger doll is really very practical for him.
Lin Yi's previous idea was to be an official in the open and a rebel in secret, and then cooperate inside and outside to make money while growing. When the Kingdom of Jin comes, he will look for opportunities to rise up. But now, seeing the doppelgänger in his hand, he suddenly
Have bolder ideas.
in the dark,
Lin Yi's eyes glowed.
The story of the robbery of the great eunuch Liang Shicheng quickly spread throughout the entire Bianjing city, and it was also revealed that this time it was the "Dayu Lord" who was responsible. People were shocked.
Now Liang Shicheng was stabbed and seriously injured. He was frightened and soaked in the lake for a long time. He had a high fever.
Many people find it unbelievable that the great hidden prime minister of the Song Dynasty was harmed like this by a thief.
Song Huizong heard the report.
furious.
"Investigate thoroughly, let the Yamen of Bianjing Prefecture, the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Privy Council investigate together. We must find out the evil thief."
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any clues. The thief seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.
The imperial examination is approaching.
Lin Yi also calmed down and did not commit any more crimes.
As for his identity as a suave and talented man, a rising star in officialdom in the future, no one would doubt him.
The second day of April.
The palace examination came as promised.
Before dawn, 286 Gongsheng students from Jinke came outside the imperial city, waiting for the summons. Many people looked at the palace gate and felt excited, because after today, they will all become officials of the Song Dynasty.
The palace door finally opened.
Several officials came out and explained the rules to the Gongsheng students, then led them into the palace gate and walked all the way to Jiying Hall.
The place is already full of tables.
In the main hall, there are still more than a dozen officials standing, including the famous Prime Minister Cai Jing, as well as many bachelors, ministers, and ministers.
They are all today's invigilators.
Everyone just stood still in the hall. After about an hour of burning incense, a eunuch came in from the side door and shouted at the top of his voice:
"The officials are here!"
Then Song Huizong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a long-winged hat, came out, and the officials and Gongsheng bowed together.
"I've met the official family~!"
"Get flat."
Everyone stood up.
Song Huizong glanced at all the Gongsheng students, nodded, and said in a rather amiable manner: "You are all the pillars of the country. You can speak freely in the palace examination today. When you get to the local government and the government office tomorrow, you have to work hard. Okay, let's start.
Bar."
"The imperial examination has begun, the Gongsheng students have taken their seats."
an official shouted immediately.
Lin Yi took a deep look at Song Huizong, and then walked to his table under the guidance of the official. He was the second in Jinke, so his seat was also in the front row.
Hair the curls down.
Lin Yi opened it and read it one by one. There were ten questions in total, three of which involved local governance, three of which involved military and political affairs, and two of which involved legal affairs. In addition, he had to write a poem and compose a rhyme, a total of ten questions.
question.
throughout the exam,
It will last from morning to evening, with a meal in between.
It is impossible for the emperor to stay here all the time. Maybe other emperors could, but Song Huizong definitely would not.
But today, Song Huizong did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the candidates' table with great interest and strolled to watch.
When he walked to Lin Yi, he stopped. Lin Yi put down his pen and saluted Song Huizong. Song Huizong waved his hand, indicating that he could continue to answer the question.
Lin Yi's handwriting was beautiful. Song Huizong felt that every word written by Lin Yi was very beautiful. In the past, he had only experienced this feeling with Cai Jing's calligraphy, and this Lin Yi in front of him was the second one.
.
After answering the first question about people's livelihood, Song Huizong nodded with satisfaction.
He was not satisfied with how good Lin Yi's prescriptions for governing the people were, but the calligraphy throughout the text made him feel very comfortable.
Lin Yi saw that Song Huizong hadn't left yet, and his thoughts started to change.
Turn out the poems, songs and titles at the back.
A poem does not require rhyme, only a sense of imagery, and the title is "Loneliness, Wandering." In fact, when Lin Yi saw this title while scanning the paper, he already had the answer in his mind.
"Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's houses, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient roads. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
Just a few dozen words, all in one stroke.
But next to him, Song Huizong's eyes suddenly lit up.
this poem,
It immediately entered his heart.
I imagined that scene, riding a skinny horse walking on the ancient road, and the picture suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Song Huizong screamed three good words in his heart.
The poem was so simple that it only took five minutes to complete it. Lin Yi took out the paper for writing the poem and he already had a draft in his mind.
How to write a fu?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with flattering someone.
It's like "The king's virtue is based on the way of heaven, blending with the harmony of the alliance, the clouds in the sky are auspicious and early, and the blessings are abundant in time." This kind of thing.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was more direct. He was about to use his flattery trick,
Qing Ci.
The first sentence of the opening chapter:
"It's so embarrassing to be away from the sky and follow the destiny of heaven; to control the world and mourn the common people, my heart is hurt."
What does this sentence mean? Simply put, it means that the official was originally a god in the class of immortals. He was ordered by God to "reluctantly" descend to the mortal world and become an emperor. He gave up being a god and became a mortal, giving up his enjoyment in heaven.
Qingfu came to the mortal world to serve as a servant to all people, expressing his deep sigh.
When Song Huizong saw these words, he felt a breath of energy rushing down from the Tianling Cap, as if his whole body was translucent.
Yeah,
That's how he feels.
This sentence spoke so much to his heart, it almost spoke to his heart, and not a single bit was inconsistent with it.
This Lin Qing understands him.
Understand him.
At this moment, Song Huizong actually felt as if Boya had met a close friend in the mountains and rivers, and he raised his head and looked at Lin Yi.
In fact, this Lin Yi,
It's really similar to myself.
Song Huizong of the Song Dynasty has not yet discovered such a person who is handsome in appearance and proficient in poetry, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even among the people he likes, they only attract his attention in a certain aspect, and none of them are all in his sight.
Talent, someone who can match him in everything.
He is lonely.
Because his height is too high, no one can stand with him and enjoy the same scenery, which makes him feel very lonely.
Lin Yi continued to write,
What follows is a bunch of flowery rhetoric.
"After the Ming Dynasty, the emperor came to the sky, and came down through the dome. The clouds of Zhaojing hung down like an image, and the light was bright and colorful. At first, it shot out, and suddenly it flourished and the scenery was bright. It seemed that the dragon was flying in shape. , Ruoxiang Luan's Chu Han..."
There are thousands of eloquent words, and each section of the painting has only one theme, which is flattery and desperate praise.
Maybe others will feel a little disgusted after hearing this, but the person involved will only say,
continue,
do not stop!
The final finishing touch, shooting to the sky
"The clouds and dragons are soaring in that scene, and the heavenly seals are shining brightly. The heavenly heart is favoring the saints and being filial, and the hope of saintly virtue is like clouds. The lights are shining in all directions, and the new year will come again in the new year."
Song Huizong always stood next to Lin Yi, his eyes never leaving Lin Yi's writing brush and test paper. This action naturally attracted the attention of others, especially the cunning Cai Jing, who slowly moved next to Song Huizong and stretched his neck to look at Lin Yi's test paper.
Lin Yi naturally knows.
He came second in the provincial undergraduate examination, so he wanted to inquire about it. Originally, he thought that if this candidate came to visit him, he would train him well in the future, but he never came.
And later I heard,
He didn't go to anyone's house. I don't know if it was because he was not smart or if he had something to rely on.
His eyes saw Lin Yi's test paper, and after reading Lin Yi's poem, his body unconsciously became smarter.
A strong sense of crisis arose in my heart.
Why is this happening?
Because from this poem, he could feel that the talented Lin Yi in front of him had another, more powerful place.
shameless.
Even though he, Cai Jing, was good at figuring out what the officials wanted, he had never written poems and songs to praise the officials so straightforwardly. After all, he still retained a bit of the spirit of a Song Dynasty literati, but Lin Yi in front of him had no scruples at all. Write all the poems and flattery to the sky.
Looking at the few sentences in the middle paragraph, Cai Jing felt goosebumps all over his body.
"The black turtle in Luoshui first presented auspiciousness, the yin number is nine, the yang number is nine, the number is nine-nine-eighty-one, the number is connected to the Tao, and the Tao is in line with the original Tianzun, Yicheng feels it."
"Qishan Danfeng is auspicious, with six male calls, six female calls, six and thirty-six sounds, which can be heard in the sky. He will be born as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and live forever."
Under the deception of the group of Taoist priests, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said that he was the descendant of Yuanshi Tianzun and the reincarnation of Yuqing leader, so he was called "Yuqing leader subtle Taoist master".
Lin Yi's poem just hits the sweet spot of the official's "Daohe original Tianzun".
Cai Jing looked up at Lin Yi, who was writing with his head down, and made a decision in his heart. He must win this man into his camp. Perhaps within three to five years, he can squeeze out Wang Fu's position in His Majesty's heart. By then, Wang Fu It will inevitably lose ground.
Lin Yi's article is finished.
Song Huizong thought for a while, returned to the throne, sat down, and called the eunuch to serve him, "Go and get the poetry paper that Lin Yi has written."
The eunuch hurried over and asked for it.
Lin Yi obediently handed in the poetry paper. Some candidates looked up and continued to answer the questions with their heads down.
Song Huizong took Lin Yi's poetry paper and liked it more and more.
Good calligraphy,
It's really good.
Ci and Fu are better.
When he read Lin Yi's poem for the first time, Song Huizong felt that his whole body was invigorated, with clear air rising and turbid air falling, feeling extremely comfortable and transparent.
Watching it for the second time, I still feel so comfortable and beautiful all over my body.
Song Huizong felt that he liked Tian Jing Sha so much, and it was completely in line with his taste. Song Huizong set up a special painting academy. Painters from all over the Song Dynasty could pass the examination to enter the painting academy, and most of the examination questions were composed by Song Huizong himself.
.
On weekdays, he likes to write exam questions such as "Ancient temple hidden deep in the mountains", "No one crosses the wild water, the solitary boat is crossing all the time", "A restaurant selling wine by the bamboo lock bridge", "Su Wu shepherds sheep, dreaming of returning to his hometown", and then asks the painter to
Paint with intention.
From these test questions, we can see that Song Huizong liked this kind of "sad" theme. Could this also be a sign of his demise?
What Song Huizong wanted to do most now was to go back and paint and express the artistic conception of Lin Yi's song "Tian Jing Sha" in paintings.
He handed the paper to the eunuch: "Take it and make sure it's not dirty. Follow me to the art academy."
The eunuch quickly responded.
He called Cai Jing again, told him to take charge of the affairs here, and left happily.
Seeing that the emperor had left, the Minister of Rites approached Cai Jing and whispered: "My lord, your majesty has taken away candidate Lin Yi's poems and poems. How will you deal with it later?"
Cai Jing looked at him and said with a smile: "Easy, first class."
"His Majesty likes it so much, which means that Lin Yi's poems have entered His Majesty's heart. Do you think it can be lowered?"
The Minister of Rites nodded.
Cai Jing glanced at Lin Yi again, with a smile in his eyes. This young man is proficient in poetry, poetry, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He has gained such a great reputation in the past few months since he came to Bianjing. He has a handsome appearance. All of this is in line with His Majesty's wishes. The future will not be the same.
Limited.
The most important point is that this Lin Yi is not pedantic at all. Cai Jing has naturally heard about Lin Yi and Cui Niannu.
And that poem, it was so well written. Even he couldn't write such gorgeous and shameless words. As an old and cunning prime minister who had been ups and downs many times, he knew how shameless and pedantic were in the court.
important.
Such people,
Not stubborn.
It is also easy to agree with their ideas.
Well worth winning over!
The exam continues.
Lin Yi's poems and poems were taken away by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't care. He wrote them just for Zhao Ji to see.
As for the remaining questions.
Lin Yi answered all questions quite satisfactorily.
Still looking for a stable word.
In fact, these people's livelihood, military and legal issues are no longer important to Lin Yi, but he still answers them very seriously.
Had a meal at noon.
If you want to go to the toilet, a eunuch will take you to the side to deal with it. There is a toilet, and the palace examination does not swipe people, and there is no fear of them cheating.
So it was evening.
The examiner announces the end of the test and everyone hands in their papers.
Cai Jing said loudly: "After today's exam, you will come to the palace the day after tomorrow to announce your ranking in court. I am here to congratulate you all for your names on the gold list."
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, Mr. Xian."
The scholars left the palace, and Lin Yi returned to the inn.
When the shopkeeper saw Lin Yi sending a bunch of happy words, Lin Yi smiled and asked him to prepare dinner. As of today, everything has settled and we will wait to see what the result will be tomorrow.
But he thinks it should be about the same.
I can’t say for sure about the head armor.
Erjia is absolutely safe.
royal palace,
Zhao Ji is painting.
There have been several drawings on the table, using various angles to express the artistic conception of the poem.
At dusk, a group of crows landed on an old tree entwined with dead vines, emitting a shrill cry. The water flowed under the bridge, smoke curled up from the villagers' cooking stoves beside the bridge, and a skinny horse trudged along the ancient road against the westerly wind.
OK. The setting sun gradually loses its luster and sets from the west. In the cold night, there are only lonely travelers wandering in distant places.
But I always feel that every one of them has little meaning, and cannot reach the state of loneliness and wandering, with no one to rely on in the poems.
Cai Jing came with the Minister of Rites.
Looking at Song Huizong's paintings, he said respectfully: "Guan family, the palace examination papers have been judged, and three people in the first class, twenty people in the second class, one hundred and forty-two people in the third class, and eighty-five people in the fourth class have been selected. Wujia thirty-six people."
When the Song Dynasty was founded, the Jinshi system of the top three was established. Later, it was changed and became the top five. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it changed back to the top three.
Those who have excellent knowledge and excellent vocabulary and theory are ranked first; those who are broad-minded and thoughtful in arts and sciences are ranked second; those who are proficient in both arts and sciences are ranked third; those who are average in arts and sciences are ranked fourth; those who are superficial in arts and science are ranked fifth.
According to the different ranks, the titles of qualified Jinshi are also different. The first and second grades are given to Jinshi and the first place. The top three people in the first grade have exclusive titles, namely No. 1 Scholar, No. 2 and No. 3. The third grade is given to Jinshi. The fourth and fifth grades are given the same title. Born as a Jinshi.
Zhao Ji took the roster and looked at it.
At first glance, I saw Lin Yi's name. He was ranked first, followed by He Su and Huang Ju.
Erjia Fu Songqing, Qian Tangxiu, Du Shiwen, Lu Changmin.
The Minister of Rites next to him was holding a stack of papers, the first- and second-grade papers, and the third-, fourth- and fifth-grade papers at the back, which were not even qualified to be read by the emperor.
Zhao Ji wanted to pass the top three papers and put them side by side. I can only say that Lin Yi's handwriting is so pleasing to the eye no matter what he writes. As for the content of the articles, they are actually similar. The second place He Su and the third place Huang Ju are also They are all great talents.
Zhao Ji nodded.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way. I won't look at the other rankings. I'll just follow your order." Zhao Ji said.
It is said that the emperor keeps his word.
But those who really make a difference are often the following people.
It is impossible for the emperor to manage everything in detail. In addition, Song Huizong, who basically does not care about anything, will naturally cause the Six Thieves and Four Evils headed by Cai Jing to control the government.
In fact, the reality is far more serious than the Six Thieves and Four Evils. The people who were promoted through their control of the government were all their party members, and their influence spread throughout the Song Dynasty.
In other words, the virus spreads rapidly, the white blood cells gradually decrease, and finally the virus is completely swallowed up, and the great empire will collapse.
the next day.
Someone came to the inn to find Lin Yi and presented him with a robe and hat that he wore on the day of the roll call. The robe was white and the hat was a winged hat. Someone also explained to Lin Yi the roll call process and other etiquette on that day.
On the third day,
The red sun rises.
In the square outside Jiying Hall, 286 candidates were waiting to announce their rankings. This ranking can be said to be related to the start and height of their future lives.
The national policy of the Song Dynasty was "to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats". The status of scholars was unprecedentedly improved, and civil servants had a very high say.
certainly,
Wenzhiwu Gong,
On the other hand, if martial arts is too prosperous, it also means that martial arts is weak.
today,
The scene was very solemn.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was sitting on the dragon chair in the palace. The prime minister, Zhongshu, palace examiner and other ministers were arranged in the palace. The other ministers and Lin Yi and other new scholars were waiting outside the palace.
In addition to the civil servants and ministers, there were also royal family members, important military officials, and a lot of various python robes and purple robes participating in this roll call.
Lin Yi basically didn't know these people, but that didn't stop him from quietly observing them and writing down all their appearances.
The roll call begins.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wrote down the names of the first and last names in the palace. The announcer quickly left the palace with the imperial list and stood on the steps to unfold the yellow scroll.
this moment,
Everyone's eyes turned to the proclaimer.
"In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign, Lin Yi ranked first in Jinshi Yijia."
The people at the top of the Song Dynasty pyramid were all looking at Lin Yi. Lin Yi was standing in the first row of the team, and he was taller than all the candidates, so he became more conspicuous. Now that Lin Yi is the top pick in high school, people are looking at him.
Suddenly it felt like his whole body was glowing with golden light.
Lin Yi came out to express his thanks.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
This is not over yet,
According to the news about Lin Yi's first place in high school, a special person came to Donghua Gate with a 'number ticket'. Donghua Gate is the east gate of the Imperial City of the Song Dynasty, and outside Donghua Gate is the most prosperous place in Bianliang, the capital, where the imperial examination is
It is the golden age of the Song Dynasty that occurs every three years. There will be countless people waiting for roll call at Donghua Gate, and you can't see the end at a glance.
This is the origin of the "Donghuamen Roll Call".
On the high platform.
The official opened the number slip and read it out loud again.
"In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign, Lin Yi ranked first among the first and second Jinshi scholars in Yiwei!"
The scene suddenly burst into cheers, and the cheers were the most enthusiastic at one place, and they were whispering sweetly. It looked like they were all beautiful women. They were many beauties from brothels standing there, no less than a hundred people.
Lin Yi's romantic name.
It is also famous in Bianjing.
Now he is the top scorer in high school.
From today on, Lin Yi's name will be spread all over the world.
