Chapter 213 Entering the Dragon Gate

When everyone made such a fuss, the face of the little official who was doing roll call sank, and he felt very upset.He was also born as a scholar, but it is a pity that he has been taking the exam for more than [-] years, but he can't even pass the exam.So he gave up his desire for fame and fame, and worked as a small official in the tribute courtyard to earn a living.Consciously ill-fated, God is unfair.

Therefore, he looked particularly unpleasant to this group of sour dings.

And he has been in the yamen for so many years, and he can be regarded as doing well. Although he can't make a lot of money, he has made a lot of small benefits.Under the influence of brother Kong Fang for many years, he has long since thrown away the books of sages and sages, and it is rare to read a few pages of paper with words throughout the year. Naturally, he has no idea who Sun Jingyuan is.

Hearing everyone's commotion, the little official said coldly: "What's the noise? Why, I don't want to enter the examination room anymore. There is a rule for everything. Whoever I point to will go in again. If I don't point to it, just stay there. "

Seeing the rudeness of this little official, a scholar burst out immediately, pointed to his nose and said, "Who are you, how dare you get big in front of me waiting for the seeds of study? I think you were also a scholar at the beginning, why did you enter the public school?" This kind of filthy place has been tainted into such a filthy appearance? The imperial examination is a national talent rotation ceremony. If you say you don’t want us to go in, don’t you want us to go in? Who are you? Do you know what kind of person Sun Jingyuan is? Hmph, he If we don't enter the examination room, we don't have to go in for the examination?"

"That's it." More people broke out.

Another scholar yelled: "Do you know what is a good word? Do you know who Sun Jingyuan is? Well, today I will let you see." After speaking, he raised his voice and read aloud: "Tui Nei Qiu In the heart, there is no one who does not test himself all the time.

What can be lost is also because people's hearts are ears for those who gain and lose.Those who know the sun but never forget the moon, how can they have the time to swim!

Today, the time accumulates and the sun, the sun accumulates and the moon, and the moon accumulates for a lifetime, so no one can do it! "

Sun Dan could feel a sweat coming out of his body. This scholar read Lu Liuliang's "Knowing His Places Everywhere" which he had plagiarized in the government examination. Later, because it was edited into "Chuanqing Xiaoji", it was published in the world. , it is considered to be all the rage in the capital.

"good article!"

"good article!"

Amidst the cheers, someone else followed and chanted loudly: "Today, time accumulates and the sun accumulates, and the sun accumulates and the moon accumulates, and the moon accumulates for life, so there is no one who can't do it!"

"You bastard, do you know what a famous scholar is, and what is a national scholar who is unparalleled?"

"Do you know what a great Confucian is called?"

Being reprimanded by everyone, the little official saw that the matter was getting serious, and when he thought of the serious consequences, he immediately turned pale and shouted: "What are you making troubles, the chief examiner is coming soon, and when the time comes, all of you will be reformed." Your reputation depends on how long you have been rampant?"

Another scholar jumped out unconvinced: "If you have the ability to ask the examiner to dismiss us and Mr. Jingyuan's fame, let's see who you can recruit in this department?"

"Yes, yes, this dirty thing is really annoying!"

……

Seeing that things were going to get out of hand, Sun Dan couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, he didn't expect such a trivial matter to turn into such a mess, this was not his original intention.Big things matter, so don't get entangled in such trivial matters.

Just as he was about to persuade a group of scholars with his words, he heard the little official shout in surprise: "Everyone be quiet, Mr. Sun, the deputy chief examiner, is here. If you have something to say, tell him."

Hearing the arrival of the deputy chief examiner, everyone stopped the commotion, and at the same time cast their gazes on a middle-aged man who came out of the tribute courtyard.

Sun Dan hurriedly looked over, but saw that this man had a face like a crown of jade, tall and long arms, and his three-strand beard moved without wind.

Sun Henian glanced at everyone with a calm face, and finally fell on Sun Dan.Without looking back, he asked the little official lightly: "What's the matter, the opening ceremony is about to begin, why haven't you called the roll yet?"

The little official hurriedly put his mouth next to Sun Henian's ear, and explained clearly to the chief official what happened just now in a low voice.

After listening to the words, Sun Henian nodded slightly: "Understood, I will handle this matter."

He didn't take his eyes away from Sun Dan's face, and said loudly: "The country has its own system, and the imperial examination is the foundation of the country. Everything must be done according to the rules. You want Sun Dan to enter the examination room, and I can understand it. But If you make such a fuss, it will waste more time. If you line up to enter the examination room, I am afraid that not only you, but also Sun Dan will enter the examination room now. Good intentions may not lead to good results. You are all scholars, and this principle also You should understand. As for what to say about getting rid of fame, it is impossible. I am also a scholar, and I know the hardships of ten years of poverty. And you are the future pillars of the country. How could you be kicked out of the examination room because of such a trivial matter? Everyone, don't be confused, just call your name and enter the venue with confidence."

What Sun Henian said made sense and reason. Just now, all the scholars were not angry at the arrogance and rudeness of the little official, and they didn't know Sun Dan's reputation, so they made a fuss.Now, after hearing what the examiner said, the tone in my heart came over.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Sun Henian breathed a sigh of relief, and softened his voice: "Okay, let's roll call in order."

In this way, the chaotic situation finally settled down, and everyone filed into the arena again.Every time a person is called, they turn around and bow their hands to Sun Dan: "Mr. Jingyuan, I'll go in and wait for you first."

It is a good thing that things can be resolved in this way.

Finally it was Sun Dan's turn.

"Shun Dan from Shuntian Mansion."

"Sun Dan is here." Sun Dan walked towards Sun Henian calmly, carrying the test basket.

"Sun Jingyuan has entered the arena!"

With a cry, I don't know how many necks stretched out at the same time, ready to watch the most talented man in the capital enter the examination room and witness the moment when Sun Jingyuan climbed the dragon gate.

"You really want to go in?" Sun Henian suddenly reached out his hand to stop Sun Dan, and asked calmly.

Sun Dan was a little surprised: "Mr. He Nian, can't I go in?"

Sun Henian smiled wryly: "Sun Dan, I am the deputy chief examiner of Qiuwei, Shuntian Prefecture, and you are a child of my Sun family. If you fail, your reputation will be ruined for nothing. If you win, with our relationship, I am afraid It will arouse the suspicion of those who are interested. If this matter is used by others, there will be a trouble, I am afraid that you and I will be in trouble. Besides, you are now in the heart of the emperor, and you are afraid that you have no family background, so why squeeze this subject? You are a person who wants to do a great job, if you tarnish your reputation because of this, it will be very detrimental to your future."

What he said seemed to be extremely sincere, but when he heard it in Sun Dan's ears, he felt very bored.

Sun Dan finally couldn't help retorting: "I'm afraid that Mr. He Nian is worried about your own reputation. You are an upright minister in front of Zhengyangmen, and now a representative figure of Qingliu in the court. We, the children of the Sun family, made sacrifices. It seems that they are just and selfless, but in fact..." He didn't want to make his words too harsh, so he paused: "As Duke He Nian said, the imperial court has its own system, and there is no such thing as an examination hall. Let the examinee avoid the supervisor. Even if there is, it should be He Niangong who should avoid suspicion first and resign the deputy chief examiner first. However, you are reluctant to let go of this opportunity to be a teacher."

Sun Dan's words were straightforward, and they were already heart-breaking words.

Sun Henian's rigid face finally showed some fluctuations, and he raised his eyebrows, wanting to say something.In the end, he let out a deep sigh: "That day I asked someone to call you, just to persuade you to give up this round of rural examination. My heart is pure and innocent, but if you don't understand, Sun Henian will naturally be helpless." There is something to say."

Sun Dan smiled lightly: "Sun Dan is your descendant, what I said just now was rude, please forgive me. However, even if I was at home that day, what can I do if I come to see you? If I talk to you about favors , you have to talk to me about the system and the overall situation of the court; if I talk to you about the system and the rules, you have to talk to me about human feelings. Anyway, left and right are just you talking, understanding it with reason and moving it with emotion , I can’t play with you. However, there is no mercy in the examination room, so the younger generation Sun Dan will talk to you about the imperial court’s system with Mr. He Nian.”

He let out a long breath, and continued: "Mr. He Nian is asking our Sun family members to avoid him, probably because he is afraid of being criticized. If Sun Danjin passes the exam, some people will say that you are engaging in favoritism. But, Mr. He Nian, you forgot After all the candidates have finished answering the papers, they have to find someone to copy the papers first, then paste the names, and finally the examiners will review the papers to determine the ranking. The imperial system has blocked all possible loopholes in the examination room Therefore, the so-called human relationship is completely useless in the examination room. Mr. He Nian wanted me to avoid the examination. According to Sun Dan, you just want our Sun family's children to fulfill your good reputation. , People have to have other thoughts. The sage said: There is a limit to action, especially if you go too far. You, Mr. He Nian, are also Mr. Morality. People who have read sage books all their lives, how can they not understand this truth. "

"In Sun Dan's view, you just need to face everything openly, as long as you have a clear heart, and you are not afraid of what others say. This is the reason for my generation of scholars to stick to themselves and do things." , I also hope that Mr. He Nian will not take it to heart."

Sun Henian's face flickered green at Sun Dan's words, and he was speechless for a long time.After a long time, he waved his sleeves: "You want to tell me the rules of the court, okay, I will tell you the rules. Come in, and take the test with your real skills. If you really pass the test, you can be regarded as a member of my grandson's family." Fortunately. As the saying goes, the predecessors scattered soil, and the eyes of future generations are confused. If you want to climb the Dragon Gate, I will not stop you. However, things in the world may not always find the answer from the words of the sages. With your temperament, Even if you enter the officialdom in the future, you will suffer a lot."

Sun Dan sneered in his heart, and didn't want to talk to this hypocrite any more.

Hey, why is this scholar in the Ming Dynasty so weird, studying and becoming an official has distorted his personality.

Soon his identity was verified, and Sun Dan followed a yamen servant towards the Gongyuan, and came to the courtyard inside the Gongyuan.

The next step in the procedure is to search the body to see if the candidate has been caught.

The yamen servant was very rude. He reached out and took the test basket in Sun Dan's hand, looked at it for a long time, then cut all the steamed buns into pieces the size of peanuts, and then shouted: "Let your hair loose, and take off your clothes."

"Take off your clothes?"

"Nonsense, stripped naked, completely naked."

Another wave of anger surged in Sun Dan's heart, if he really took off his clothes, not to mention his gentleness, his personality would also be lost.

He glanced at the yamen servant coldly: "I'm afraid I won't take off my clothes, no one will let me be naked in front of him."
