Chapter 24 Wenchang (for further reading)

"No!"

"Not just a relationship!"

Xu Xing calmed down.

Fraud in the imperial examination is not a small case.

County magistrate Wu and him are neither related nor related, so they wouldn't make fun of his official hat.

The reason why his examination paper was accepted in class at this time was inseparable from the content on his case file.He is not some fool who cannot be supported.If his examination papers really had no merit at all, presumably Wu County Magistrate would at most put him on the sub list based on his personal preference, instead of treating him like this....

After the first examination of the county examination, there were two rankings for the principal and deputy, each with 50 people. Finally, in the two examinations, the 50 people who remained on the top ranking were selected to enter the group case.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the 50 people on the sub-list to squeeze into the main list.

Similar to Weijing Academy's quiz and major exams, in order to show fairness, the admitted exam papers must be published to the public.

In this way, we can put an end to favoritism and fraud.

"Good calculation! Good scheming!"

"Worthy of being the parent officer of a county..."

Xu Xing admired County Magistrate Wu from the bottom of his heart.

The number of people who came to Jingyang County from Weijing Academy to take the imperial examination this time was only more than [-] people.After all, Weijing Academy is an academy for Qin Province, and there are not a few people like Chen Jian'an who go to the county of household registration for scientific examinations.Except for the students, there are not many students in the academies of Jingyang County.

Only twenty people.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Magistrate Wu to keep it all in mind.

That's why County Magistrate Wu cheered up to check the papers after seeing him handing in the papers...

To say that his "articles are mediocre" is actually just a kind of rhetoric... Combined with the words of the little official before the exam, it is hard not to think that it was the magistrate of Wu county who put him in the face of Dean Liu and Weijing Academy. Admission in class.

In this way, candidates who are not deeply involved in the world will definitely be grateful to Magistrate Wu.

If today's words spread to the outside world, it would be him, county magistrate Wu, who gave Weijing Academy a face.

If someone questioned County Magistrate Wu's malpractice for personal gain..., the test papers of the college candidates are not unbearable to check.

In a big deal, there is a saying that "the virtuous do not avoid relatives".

In a few simple words, fame is earned, profits are earned, and favors are sold.

Proper official veteran!

"Student Xu Xing, Xie Xianzun points his forehead in Zhu Yi today."

Xu Xing saluted loudly.

Although thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, in reality, he didn't hesitate at all.

Zhu Yi nodded his forehead, which meant that he was favored by the chief examiner and was selected in the imperial examination.

Zhu Yi, made in the Tang Dynasty, below the third rank, and above the fifth rank wears the scarlet robe.Crimson, namely red.

"Well..., yes, he is a talent."

"My Jingyang County is also thanks to Liu Shanzhang's running of the school, otherwise... the official's cultural and educational performance will be reduced to the bottom of the counties in Jingzhao Prefecture, that's all, I won't mention this to you, a junior..."

County magistrate Wu shook his head, and after a few words of praise to Xu Xing, he ordered him to step down.

"This is also due to your parents..."

"My lord is humble..."

A few small officials at the side heard the stringed qin and knew the elegance, and immediately flattered and cheered.

Yi's parents are another name for the county magistrate, the parent official.

……

Step out of the examination room.

The left foot that stepped out just hung in the air on the threshold of the dragon gate.

On Xu Xing's panel, there was a word "condensing".

【Wenchang (white)↑】

He stared at the second page of New Fate.

[Wenchang (white ↑): The music is full of life, the writing is full of cleverness, and there is no point in the writing. 】

"White Wenchang fate...seems to be of no use to my situation in the real world."

"But this fate can be promoted..."

"The county test is not over yet. If you win the county's case, you may be able to advance to the red fate. The red fate is more noble than the white fate, and it will bring more benefits."

Xu Xing withdrew his gaze and began to think about how to seize the county's top case.

Although he was admitted to the top list by County Magistrate Wu, he knew that in the first county examination, his chance of winning the first place in the case was very slim.Otherwise, County Magistrate Wu would not be able to say against his conscience that the test paper at the head of the case was "average".

The only chance is the next few exams.

But... Basically, after the first-time examinee becomes the head of the case, he will basically be the head of the case from now on.

Compared with the first exam of the county examination, the latter two exams are not very important.

The first exam is called the main exam, which shows its importance.

"Brother, please give way."

At this moment, the examinee behind Xu Xing couldn't help urging.

At this time, it was time for the application, hundreds of candidates piled up behind the dragon gate, and Xu Xing benefited from the reason of handing in the papers early, so he walked one step earlier, so that after he hesitated for a while, there were a lot of people behind him.

"Please……"

Xu Xing nodded slightly to the middle-aged Confucian scholar behind him, and took half a step to the left.

The next moment, the examinee swam past him like a crucian carp crossing a river.

"Dragon Gate!"

"One step earlier, one step later."

"They're all leaping over the dragon's gate, so why fight for the first priority?"

"The early rafters rot first!"

Xu Xing suddenly realized something.

Although winning the chief case will give him a moment of glory, but after the case is over..., it will be very dangerous.

First of all, he will be the first to enter the sight of the brothers and elders, and unpredictable dangers are bound to follow.Secondly, if he remembers correctly, a major event will break out in June of this year—the Hundred Days Restoration!
And the reason why Kangliang was able to successfully write the letter on the bus, and then carried out the reformation, could not be separated from the help of two people, the head of the Weijing Academy Liu Guyu and the Yushi Song Bolu...

"Wait!"

"hold on!"

Xu Xing waited for the examinees to file out before slowly walking outside.

Outside the examination shed, the crowd was sparse at this moment, only Confucian scholars in twos and threes chatting with each other about today's examination questions despite the cold weather at night.When he came out of the examination room, several candidates also asked him how he solved the four books and five classics questions.

"The qualifications are mediocre, and it's time to apply after finishing the paper."

Xu Xing couldn't bear the disturbance, and he couldn't reprimand and drive away these candidates, so he said tactfully.

For example, Jia Dao's Kuyin school can make a difference, most of them are mediocre talents, even if they ponder for a long time, it is difficult to find any good sentences.After all, "articles are made naturally, and skillful hands can get them by chance."

"I'm sorry, I brought up the sad things about Xiongtai."

Seeing this, several candidates stopped pestering Xu Xing and let him leave.

Those who leave the examination room at the latest may not fail the ranking, but they will definitely not get any good grades in the examination.These candidates are nominally for the purpose of exchanging knowledge, but in fact they are also taking the opportunity to cling to relationships.

A worthless person will naturally not be retained by others.

……

As usual.

The release date is the third day after the test.

During this period, Xu Xing stayed in the dormitory, preparing to study all the time.Although he memorized all the Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, he learned the new by reviewing the past. The imperial examination did not rely on dictation, but on writing skills.

Doing stereotyped writing is inseparable from the understanding of small words and big meanings.

Secondly, this posture can also leave a good impression on the school classmates and teachers.

Xu Xing did not forget what Master Ma said about the chance.

It's not that he doesn't want to relax.

Run to spend time and drink.

It's just... If his conduct is too bad, even if he has the reputation of a scholar, it may not be that Dean Liu will admit that he is a student of Weijing Academy and a descendant of Guan Xue.

Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time.

Furthermore, under the pressure of life and death threats, Xu Xing could only restrain his restless heart.

however--

An accident happened.

A letter from Xiaoyitang, asking him to kill someone!Kill the official!
