The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 342 Are You The Chief Examiner?

"Then what do you mean that you can be reused by the court?" Zhao Gou was so angry that he sneered, "It's a fool's dream to think of entering the court as an official and gaining fame with your virtue. People like Xiongtai, I'm afraid there are not a few of them."

"If all the scholars in the Song Dynasty think like you do, that would be a disgrace to the scholars. I have been studying hard for more than ten years in order to get a title on the gold list. I have studied the way of sages and the rites of Confucius and Mencius since childhood; I am afraid that it is contrary to the way of Confucius and Mencius, and I am in vain as a scholar."

"You...you..." The man blushed with anger at Zhao Gou's sarcasm, and couldn't speak clearly.

"It's really a disgrace to a scholar to read something like yours!" Zhao Gou sneered, what he hated most were corrupt and bribe-taking people, who spoke ruthlessly and insulted.

Originally thought that after the death of Cai Jing, the beheading of Zhu Ying, and the removal of Tong Guan and others, the Great Song Dynasty would be relatively stable, and even if it was intentional corruption, it would not dare to do it blatantly.Moreover, after the death of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, the ministers of the DPRK and China restrained themselves a lot.

Zhao Gou also believed that those people had no courage to commit crimes against the wind.Unexpectedly, the candidates who participated in the general examination and have not yet obtained the honor of Juren are not ashamed of corruption, but proud of it, and confidently publicize that they want to 'promote and make a fortune'.

Even though other people think the same way, they dare not make such threats in public, but this person in front of him is blatant, as if corruption and bribery are very honorable deeds, especially thinking of the deeds of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, Zhao Gou is very angry Do not call one place.

It just so happens that this person has the idea of ​​corruption, and vows to pursue such a goal.As the saying goes: If you can't bear it, you don't need to bear it anymore!

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the government has been stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and foreign enemies dare not try to go south; the Song Dynasty emphasizes literature and suppresses military affairs, and the status of literati is much higher than that of military generals. If you do it according to your words, then you are committing a crime." The crime of contemptuous of the former emperor!"

The man was taken aback, he just said it according to his inner thoughts, but he didn't want to be said by someone he didn't know as despising the former emperor, this was not a random talk.If it is really confirmed, it is the crime of ransacking the house and exterminating the family.

"You...you are slandering! Slandering words!" The man didn't know whether he was angry with Zhao Gou or frightened, he stuttered, recalling Zhao Gou's accusation again, he paused for a while, and shouted Said: "You are slandering me, I want to send you to the official for investigation, so as to rectify my name."

"Send an official to investigate?" Zhao Gou glanced disapprovingly, and said in a cold voice: "The former emperor's emphasis on literature and martial arts was for the purpose of selecting talents to serve the court. As long as they are talents, they can be employed exceptionally. And what you said just now is just right. It means to despise the former emperor, do you still say that you have no crime?"

"The Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory, a large population, and more than ten thousand scholars! The imperial examination system has been perfected since the Sui and Tang dynasties. It has become an important way for poor students and scholars to enter official positions, and it is also the standard for the imperial court to select talents. , and taking another subject is also the last chance this year."

"But you don't think about the emperor's holy will, and you regard the imperial examination as a way to get promoted and make a fortune. This is an insult to the dignity of scholars, and it is even against the emperor's holy will. Could it be that you don't know that the imperial court is cracking down on corrupt people, up to the first rank Officials, down to the yamen yamen servants, once discovered, they will be dealt with strictly."

"As a scholar, you study the ways of Confucius and Mencius and learn etiquette, but you don't know how to benefit the people and serve the Song Dynasty. You are a scholar and a citizen of the Song Dynasty in vain. I really don't know how you came here. If you want me to be the examiner, directly deprive Your exam qualifications will never be hired."

Zhao Gou reprimanded angrily, argued hard without mercy, and sneered: "Now you still say that I slandered my brother? Are you going to send me to the government to deal with it? You should be glad that the examiner hasn't come yet. Otherwise, just based on what you said before, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Tribute Academy, let alone become an official."

The man panicked at first, was startled for a moment, and stepped back suddenly.At this time, Zhao Gou's invisible temperament revealed deeply shocked him, and he was shocked when he heard what he said.Although Zhao Gou's words were sharp, the man was shocked by Zhao Gou.

However, that person was also a smart person. He looked around and saw that no one else was paying attention to this place, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The originally panicked expression returned to normal in a blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, it did not attract the attention of other candidates, because the examiners who came late gradually appeared in everyone's sight.Everyone's eyes were attracted, so the others did not look at them, but stared at Guan Jiao intently.

At the same time, the examiners on the Guanjiao boarded the Jiaozi one after another surrounded by everyone.However, they did not immediately enter the tribute courtyard, but stood at the entrance of the tribute courtyard.Judging from this situation, they are not the chief and deputy examiners, but local officials, or literati, waiting quietly.

When the examinees saw the examiners appear, they had different expressions, some were excited, and some were frowning.It's just because different officials come to the township examination every time, not the same one.However, there are also some people who are acquainted with each other, and that person has never paid attention to this place, and there are only Zhao Gou and the other two at the moment.

He looked worried at first, but he said triumphantly in an instant: "As you said, I have this idea. But, so what? You and I are just candidates! If you are an official, or a master The examiner is different, but unfortunately you are not, so don't pretend to be a saint in front of me!"

"Brother, I'm really ashamed of you! You've really disgraced scholars all over the world, and even more so, your principles. A person like you is indeed, as this brother said, not suitable to participate in this competition." Exams, Gongyuan is not a place for you to get promoted and make a fortune, nor is it the beginning of your dream of Spring and Autumn."

When Zhao Gou sneered, he didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly; after Zhao Gou finished speaking, he saw that the man not only had no repentance, but was more righteous.This made him keep a silent attitude, and he couldn't calm down, so he decided to reprimand him aloud.

"Who do you think you are? The examiner is still an adult, so what right does he have to say about me? It's really ridiculous!" The man sarcastically said confidently.

"Who am I? Don't you know?" He smiled faintly, calmly.

Zhao Gou looked at this person in surprise, and saw that he was very different from before. He not only spoke elegantly, but also was polite.In addition, there was something official about this person, with a kind of indifference and majesty, thinking: "Could it be that he is..."

"Didn't you say that I am the chief examiner?"

"You are the chief examiner? Haha!..."

The man was slightly taken aback, seeing that he was dressed plainly, and that he was about the same age as him, and he didn't look like an examiner in any way.If it is the examiner, he must come wearing an official uniform. How can he come here like this? He has not been sitting in an official position yet, subconsciously thinking that he is scaring himself. It can also be said that even if the person in front of him is really the examiner, he will not Willing to believe.
