Xiangye

Chapter 183 It's time

Yes, what Gao Wen said just now was purely to dig a hole for Huang Wei to jump.

That day in the courtroom of the Tixingsi Yamen, when the two were about to break up, they refused to admit defeat to each other verbally, and they said something that if they were successful in the future, everyone should be close and close, and the fight was all about one breath.

But if there are, it depends on the occasion, especially when you are about to enter the examination room and there are candidates around.

Today, more than 4000 examinees from the entire Shaanxi Province poured into the Tribute Academy for reference, vying for [-] candidates.Fame and fame are directly related to the future and wealth of scholars, and have nothing to do with life and death, and are higher than life and death.To put it bluntly, everyone is a competitive relationship.

According to Huang Wei, that is the enemy.

No one can say for sure about things like imperial examinations. Before the final results are announced, you don't dare to say whether you can pass or not.

But now I say with certainty that I will win the candidates, which will definitely attract the attention of interested people.When I win the exam in the future, those scholars who don't see other people's good will make a fuss, but I, Huang Wei, have endless troubles.

Gao Wen, this little bastard, is really insidious!
……

Yes, this is what Gao Wen wanted.

Although he knew that with Huang Wei's real talent and learning, he must have won the prize.The reason why he was so confident when he ran to the examination room was obviously something to rely on.

However, Gao Wen couldn't figure out what the surname Huang relied on.

In any case, let everyone be more vigilant.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, if there is a chance to say bad things in the future, they will take root and sprout, blossom and bear fruit.

In history, the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, Xu Youzhen's grandson Zhu Zhishan's good friend Tang Bohu is awesome, and he won the first place in the Nanzhili Township Examination, Xie Yuan.When he went to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination, everyone in the world knew that with his talents, he would definitely be able to pass.

Tang Bohu also had a strong self-confidence. He was used to being arrogant. He uttered big words in the Beijing Literati Collection, saying that he would definitely be able to get the title of Jinshi and be the first.

In this way, it caused dissatisfaction among other candidates.

After the examination was over and the list was released, Tang Dacai won the first place.

Now, the candidates who failed the rankings were in an uproar.It is said that you, Tang Bohu, must have bribed the examiner, otherwise why would you be sure that you will win the first place before entering the examination room.

The commotion was so great that it alarmed the court.In order to appease the anger of the scholars, Tang Bohu was ordered to be dismissed.Since then, Tang Jieyuan, the head of the four great talents, has never had an official career.

Even a talented man like Tang Bohu regretted his whole life because he couldn't keep his words and deeds. You, Huang Wei, are just a small scholar, so you can speak so loudly.If you really win the Juren, how can you escape the envy and hatred of the frustrated candidates?You have to pick some bones out of the egg.

Naturally Huang Wei didn't know this historical fact, but he knew it well, so he hurriedly shut his mouth and hid in the crowd of candidates in Hancheng, for fear that others would see his appearance and recognize him.

But Shi Linsheng, Yu Xingyan and others were ashamed to be with them, Huang Wei took a step forward, and everyone stepped aside at the same time.

Huang Wei was so angry that he trembled all over, but he didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing that he successfully made this beast suffocate, Gao Wen was overjoyed.Seeing that it was getting late, he bowed his hands to everyone: "Brothers, Mr. Shi, Mr. Yu, Wansheng still has to go to find his classmates in Pingliang Mansion, so let's say goodbye."

Everyone replied: "Go quickly, don't delay."

Shi Lin said, "Gao Wen, wait a minute."

Gao Wen: "What else can the old man order?"

This time, old man Shi was surprisingly gentle. He took Gao Wen's hand and told him, "Gao Wen, your article is naturally well written. Do not worry about what you do on weekdays. Also , before writing the paper, make a draft, and after repeated revisions, it will be transcribed without any problems. Also, pay attention to the format, which is the most important thing. If there is a bad writing, the paper will be scrapped. It's important, you must count the number of words well, and you can't exceed it. Once you exceed the number of words, your article is still unfinished, and it is still a waste paper."

That's right, official papers have strict regulations, how many pages, how many lines per page, and how many words per line.I'm afraid that once you write freely, the paper is not enough.

He nagged for a long time. Although Gao Wen was impatient, he was still very moved, and said, "Don't worry, old man, Gao Wen will remember."

After saying goodbye to all the students in Hancheng, he searched in the crowd for a long time, sweating all over, and finally saw the candidates from Zhuanglang County, Pingliang Prefecture.

Zhuang Lang was backward in culture and education, and hadn't had a juren for decades, and as for scholars, there were not many.A few scholars are too old, they are purely here to meet the occasion, or to try their best luck if they don't give up.

Speaking of it, Gao Wen was the most dazzling one among them. Just kidding, he was the first in the county and college examinations, and he almost got a small three yuan.Seeing him, they all came over to greet him very affectionately. It seemed that Gao Wen was a bit of a scholarly leader, although Zhuang Lang's circle of knowledge was too small.

Seeing Gao Wen coming over and knowing his reputation, students from several other counties in Pingliang Prefecture also came to pay their respects.Gao Wen replied with a smile all over his face, not at all as tense as when he saw Huang Wei before.

In the midst of the excitement, someone shouted, "Be quiet, gentlemen, we are about to enter the arena."

Hearing his shout, the crowd calmed down. When they looked up, they saw lights on the upper pole of the arrow tower in front of the Gongyuan.

Then, there were many figures on it, and many people came.

A scholar shouted: "The chief minister has arrived."

Then, almost everyone shouted in a low voice: "It's time!"

Hearing this shout, Gao Wen looked intently.Shaanxi chief envoy is the boss behind Huang Wei's behind-the-scenes boss, and also the person he and Xu Youzhen will rectify in the future. He has never seen this person before, and he doesn't know what he looks like.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and it's night, so I can't see clearly.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, which was really earth-shattering.On the watchtower, more than a dozen small cannons shot out fire at the same time, illuminating the entire square in front of the Gongyuan.

At the same time, the gate of Xi'an Gongyuan creaked open.

This burst of cannon fire seemed to be the start of the game in later generations. Immediately, candidates from hundreds of counties in Shaanxi rushed forward holding their test baskets and vouchers at the same time, and the people in front of them had already entered the gate of the Gongyuan.

It was Gao Wen's first time to take part in the provincial examination. He didn't know the procedure, and when the wave of people came, he couldn't help but follow along.

After a while, he also entered the Gongyuan.

Xi'an was the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, and the political, economic, cultural, and military center in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. The Gong Yuan was naturally magnificent, and even Gao Wen, a modern man, was in awe when he saw it.
