Chapter four hundred and first missing joints

Wu Jie was naturally very clear about the rules on the imperial examination court. He got up early the next day and took Shui Sheng to the tribute court to station. First, Shui Sheng was a troublemaker, and second, if he was not here, he would walk around in the city. He was carefully arrested by the people from the Governor's Office, so he would just take him into the examination room. He took him into disguisedly for nine days.

It took a whole day to call the name. After the candidates entered the venue and fired the artillery and closed the door, Wu Jie sat in the main hall to accept the visits from the officials of the outer curtains.

Then, the outer curtain officials stepped forward to shook the signs one by one to determine the order of the review.

When the outer curtain officials retreated, it was time for Wu Jie and Wang Wu to formulate the examination questions.

Wang Wu’s Five Classics were selected early. It was Wu Jie’s turn, and Wu Jie also chose a few sentences from "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". He studied these two books deeply and was more familiar with them, so he naturally had it with his hands.

After doing all this, Wang Wu asked: "Mr. Wu, how do you think of the poem?"

Wu Jie replied: "I thought about it for a while and decided to use the slight breeze and waves as the topic."

A glimmer of spirit flashed in Wang Wu's eyes, and he felt an undetectable joy: "No, good, let's write a few lots, I'll grab a rhyme section."

When Wu Jie wrote the paper lump, Wang Wu grabbed it and it was the word "wave". He laughed: "It's great, but it's sometimes riding the wind and waves. It's auspicious, auspicious!"

Wang Wu's expression fell into Wu Jie's eyes without missing a trace. He felt something was wrong, as if Lord Wang knew that he was going to ask this question.

I recalled the situation when Wangwu brought the officials to ask him to have a drink and write poems the day before yesterday. I suddenly realized that Lord Wang must have calculated that he would give the title in the poem he wrote after he got drunk that night, and he would have quietly told the person who asked the questioner to prepare the sample essay according to the sentence.

Although Wu Jie was suspicious, there was no evidence, so he could only temporarily endure it and observe it secretly.

After using supper in the examination room, the question-engraving maker came to report that the question had been engraved, and then sent the papers in the middle of the night. The 41st year of Jiajing, Yingtian Prefecture, officially began.

This exam took nine days, and the weather was hot, making Wu Jie sit inside so depressed.

He originally thought that after he won the top scorer, he would never have to enter the exam room in his life, but he didn't want to be sent by the emperor to take the exam, but he would have to suffer for such a long time.

After the candidates left the exam, the next thing was Wu Jie and Wang Wu.

In fact, during the exam, the outer curtain officials had already reviewed the papers and recommended the red papers.

What Wu Jie and Wang Wu need to do is to make the final decision.

But when Wu Jie looked at the papers sent, the more he looked, the more suspicious he felt.

The problem lies in the test poems. There are more than twenty papers with the word "hangover" written on them, and they are written larger than other characters, and they appear abrupt in the poem.

Looking at the recommended candidates again, they were all Zhao Magistrate of Shangyuan County.

Wu Jie suddenly raised his spirits and thought to himself: Isn’t this the so-called joint? If I hadn’t dealt with it, wouldn’t I be laughed at by people? This magistrate Zhao was so brave that he wouldn’t succeed in doing such a small move under my nose!

He shaved all the twenty or so papers and threw them aside.
