One Thought Feixian

Chapter 733

In the imperial examination, poetry and painting articles appeared, which was an earth-shattering thing.

It would not be surprising if this article was written by Su Qian, but it is not.

It is unbelievable that the poems and paintings come from the hands of an unknown person.

All of a sudden, the name Immortal in the Painting was remembered by all the examiners, and his reputation was greatly shaken.

"It's indeed a good article. I don't know if this person is a feeble scholar with no strength or strength?" Zuo Zongting nodded after reading the article, and handed the exam paper back to Pang Tiandu. .

Pang Tiandu looked at this examination paper again, then put it away, and put it aside alone, then his eyes fell on the next examination paper, and he saw two large characters: "Su Qian!"

This examination paper belongs to Su Qian.

Pang Tiandu froze for a moment, immediately broke the seal, pulled out the test paper, and spread it out on the table. In an instant, a strong light flowed up, and went straight to the sky. In the sky, it condensed into a An auspicious cloud, as brilliant as a brocade.

"Splendid article!"

An examiner cried out in surprise.

"It's raining!" Another examiner said blankly.

I saw that the auspicious clouds condensed, and suddenly, a gust of wind and rain came, forming thousands of bones, which were so beautiful that it made people feel a sense of warmth.

Not only that, everyone heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling, which was the spirit of the article, unknowingly connected with ghosts and gods, moved them to tears, and spread the notes of applause.

"When the pen falls, the wind and rain startle, and when the poem becomes a poem, ghosts and gods weep!"

You Qingfeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at this vision and muttered in his mouth.

This is the spirit of literary luck, cultivated to a very high level, and then write moral words, literary spirit, elegant and persistent, coming out through the paper, like splendid brocade, shocking the wind and rain, and ghosts and gods howling.

"Okay, okay, Su Qian's article on the scriptures is brilliantly done, penetrating into three points, and analyzing the topic very thoroughly. The theory of governing the country in it is refreshing. The journey of the great road, the world is for the public... This is a good statement!"

Pang Tiandu almost applauded, with a joyful look on his face, commenting with great satisfaction: "How do you two read this text?"

Su Qian was his favorite student. He received a lot of attention when he participated in the imperial examination this time, even the Holy Majesty cared about it very much. This no longer represented him alone, but represented his Pang Tiandu's face and the number one in the world. The reputation of a school.

Therefore, he had great expectations for Su Qian in his heart.

However, in this imperial examination, dragons and snakes were mixed, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, there were a lot of people who were knowledgeable and full of economics, and there were poems and paintings, which were earth-shattering.

But now that he saw the words written by Su Qian, he was immediately relieved that Su Qian did not disappoint him.

"When the pen falls, the wind blows, and the poem becomes weeping ghosts and gods! This requires a very high level of literary accomplishment, righteousness, uprightness, benevolence, morality, etiquette, and the laws of the world, all of which can be achieved. Looking at the entire Central Dynasty, it is also Only you, Grand Master, can do it alone, and now this Su Qian has reached such a state at such a young age, it's amazing!"

Zuo Zongting immediately praised Su Qian after reading Su Qian's examination paper.

"A famous teacher produces a good student! Grand Master, the Holy Majesty should be very satisfied that you have accepted a good student. This splendid article should be among the top three in this year's imperial examination!"

Bao Qianxun nodded and said.

"This is a blessing in the world!"

Pang Tiandu's mood became more cheerful, and then he collected Su Qian's examination paper, resealed it, and put it together with the poem and painting article just now.

"I'm afraid this year's No. [-] Scholar will compete between these two!" Zuo Zongting looked at it and muttered to himself.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

These two articles are very exquisitely written, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. He has read it carefully just now, and he can't tell the good from the bad, so he can only hand it over to the Holy Majesty to see which article is more in line with the topic proposed by the Holy Majesty. Mind may be the only way to separate siblings.

Then, Pang Tiandu continued to grade the rest of the examination papers, but most of the articles written by the examinees were too one-sided, either bombastic, flashy, rote, or full of righteousness... Only a few articles were awarded by Pang Tiandu. It is well written, it is a moral text, and it contains rich literary spirit, but it is a pity that it is far from being able to compare with the articles of Immortal in Painting and Su Qian.

As time went by, more and more candidates finished writing the essays and handed in the papers ahead of schedule.

All the examiners immediately became busy, constantly reviewing, selecting excellent articles from among them, and submitting them to the Grand Master.

There are so many candidates, and the number of examination papers is huge, but Emperor Qingtian has already issued an order that they have to finish the review in one day, and the results will be released at noon tomorrow.

In the previous imperial examinations, after the exams were generally completed, the rankings were released three days later, and then the identity was checked, an interview with the emperor, nine red and ten best parades in the streets, a series of things, it would take half a month.

But now is an extraordinary period. The Central Dynasty’s ship transporting lotus, rice and spirit stones was intercepted in the endless waters of Cangzhou. Such a big incident must be dealt with seriously by the court. , it is impossible to delay for such a long time.

Therefore, these examiners are under a lot of pressure. While invigilating the exam, they must read all the exam papers within one day, otherwise they will miss a major event, not only will they lose their jobs, but they may also be imprisoned.

But even so, no one dared to be perfunctory and careless. After all, every exam paper determines the future and fate of an examinee. If the review is not careful and mistakes are made, no one can afford it.

At this moment, a middle-aged examiner walked over with an examination paper in his hand.

"Another hand in the paper?"

You Qingfeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, showed a tired look on his face, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged examiner.

"One of the examinees handed in the paper early, but..." The middle-aged examiner showed hesitation on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

"But what? This imperial examination is full of surprises. Even if you scribble on it, I have seen any outrageous examination papers." You Qingfeng said calmly.

As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has also gone through several imperial examinations and read countless people. What kind of things have he not seen?
"Some examinees, who don't know a single character, also come to take the imperial examination, and then draw turtles on the examination paper with a pen. Do you think it's too far-fetched?"

As he spoke, he took the test paper from the middle-aged examiner and prepared to unpack it.

"Master Shangshu, this examination paper has not written a single word. It is a blank paper. It is better not to read it." The middle-aged examiner still spoke out.

"Void paper?" You Qingfeng paused with both hands, immediately remembered something, and nodded: "There are all kinds of strange things. Since it is a white paper, there is no need to read it. You can go back and continue to monitor."

With that said, he threw the exam paper into the pile of papers and continued to review other exam papers.

The middle-aged examiner also left.

Time, rolling and flowing.

The sky gradually darkened, but in this alien space, there was no night, it was still so bright.

More and more candidates finished writing their essays, handed in their test papers, and waited boredly in the cell.

Some candidates showed disappointment on their faces, as if they did not answer the test papers well and their writing was unsatisfactory.

Some candidates fidgeted and walked back and forth in the room, appearing very nervous.

Some candidates lay on their desks, sleeping soundly. They spent too much energy preparing for the imperial examination, and they haven't had a good night's sleep for several months.

Some candidates are still biting their pens, meditating, and making the final struggle.

... the day passed!
On the second day, a piercing bell rang throughout the square.

The sound of the bell represented the complete end of the imperial examination.

Those candidates who hadn't finished answering the exam papers watched the exam papers being taken away by the examiner with despair in their eyes, and many of them burst into tears.

"How are you guys doing?" Jiang Yi walked out of the room, his eyes fell on Lu Yan, Gu Heng, Meng Chang, and Ding Yunjie, and he asked.

"It's hard!"

Lu Yan said: "I feel that there are many thoughts in my mind, but I can't write them out. I thought about it carefully for several hours, and wrote for several hours before I could barely finish it."

"My situation is similar to yours. I am very sad. I have finished answering the exam paper, but what I wrote in the article is not what I want to express at all."

Gu Heng also spoke.

"It's normal! Most of the candidates are like you. Because they haven't read enough books and haven't cultivated their writing skills well, they naturally have trouble speaking and can't write what they want."

Jiang Yi said.

"It seems that we are all suitable for practicing martial arts. As for reading, it's really not that material." Meng Chang shook his head with a helpless expression.

"We are hopeless, Jiang Yi, how did you answer?" Ding Yunjie asked.

"It's okay! It should be no problem to enter the top three!" Jiang Yi said calmly.

"Great!" Several people were overjoyed.

However, some candidates around heard Jiang Yi's words, and cast contemptuous glances, obviously not believing it.

The top three are the examination papers to be submitted to the Holy Master. Basically, they are the number one, the second, and the best. How can it be so easy?
"Let's go! Let's go back first, and there will be results soon!" Jiang Yi didn't care about these gazes, and turned and left with a few people.

When passing by the statue of Emperor Qingtian, Jiang Yi took another look before walking out of the examination room.

"Brother Hu, how did you do in the exam?"

At this time, the group of students from Lushan Academy also gathered together and asked each other.

Of course, among them, the most knowledgeable is Hu Yunsheng.

"It should be fine!" Hu Yunsheng said confidently.

"Congratulations, brother Hu, you have been named on the gold list, and you will be on your way when the time comes, don't forget us classmates." The students of Lushan Academy immediately congratulated.

"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!" Hu Yunsheng said politely, looking around, as if looking for someone.
