"Nangong Hao?!"

After all the shabby people heard the three words Nangong Hao, their originally excited expressions changed, and they all became completely quiet.

"Is Nangong Hao also coming to participate in this palace examination?"

"If Nangong Hao participates, it will be really difficult. Although Fang Zhengzheng is powerful, he can't beat Nangong Hao, right?"

"Oh, it's okay to get a good ranking, why do you have to beat Nangong Hao?"

"That's right."

The news that Nangong Hao participated in the palace examination is certainly not a secret for the people in Yanjing City, but it is definitely a shocking thing for some people who rushed over from outside Yanjing City.

A person who had already received the title of No. 1 talent four years ago, four years later

What kind of strength will it have?

Fang Zhengzhi naturally ignored the discussions of the people around him. From the county test to the government test to the court test, he is now considered an experienced person.

He felt that he needed to calm down.

Isn’t it just a test of Taoism? It’s not too easy.

Yan Xiu stood together today wearing a dark green dress and a square blue long gown. It was a match, and the two walked side by side.

Soon, he passed through the palace gate.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, several guards in armor stopped Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu. After verifying the identities of Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, they checked them routinely, and then signaled that Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu could wait next to him.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't say much, after all, this was a palace examination, and everything had to be done according to the rules.

At this moment, there were hundreds of people standing there waiting in the palace gate, each of them seemed a little nervous, and there were also people talking in groups of people.

"Young Master Yan, Young Master Fang!"

Before Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu could get into the crowd, a man walked out of the crowd with a smile, followed by several young men in gorgeous clothes.

It's Wu Feng.

"Yeah." Yan Xiu nodded coldly and didn't say much.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes fell on the emerald flute in Wu Feng's hand again. Looking at the cloud patterns on it, I always felt a strange feeling in my heart.

"I wonder how Mr. Fang prepared for this palace examination?" Wu Feng smiled. He did not mean to get close to Yan Xiu, but instead walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side.

"Do you need to prepare?" Fang Zhengzhi said calmly.

"Hehe, too. I heard that Mr. Fang won six test papers in one fell swoop in the court exam, but it broke the history of our Daxia Dynasty." Wu Feng nodded with a smile.

"It's true. If we take the Taoist exam again in this palace examination, we will really have to admit defeat with Mr. Fang in advance." A young man following Wu Feng also nodded.

"I guess in terms of understanding the Taoist script, I think only Nangong Hao and Chi Guyan can be compared with Mr. Fang. It's just a pity." Another man stopped after speaking.

"What a pity?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the two people in front of him, a little confused.

"Young Master Fang, don't you not know?" When the two young masters heard Fang Zhengzhi's question, they looked at each other and seemed to have a hint of smile.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't ask any more questions because he knew that since the two people in front of him had mentioned the topic here, they would say it out whether they asked him or not.

As Fang Zhengzhi expected, Fang Zhengzhi would not ask, the two young men could no longer sit still.

Just as he was about to speak again, he was stopped by Wu Feng in time.

"It's normal for Mr. Fang to not know. But I thought you and Mr. Yan should know something." Wu Feng said this, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Yan Xiu.

Yan Xiu's expression changed slightly at this moment, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that the palace examination does not test Taoism!" After Yan Xiu finished speaking, a deep apology also rose on his face.

"Don't you test the Taoist scriptures?" Fang Zhengzheng's expression froze slightly.

Yan Xiu was in a state of recuperation some time ago, so Fang Zhengzhi did not disturb him. After Yan Xiu recovered from his injuries, he also focused more on the results of the trial and the food, drink and fun.

I didn't pay much attention to the palace examination.

After all, in his heart, after a series of literary tests in the county, government, and court tests, he had subconsciously believed that the literary tests in the palace tests must have also been tested in the Taoist scriptures.

Then, naturally, I didn't ask much.

"Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Fang really doesn't know? Then you have to take advantage of the half-hour to start the exam and prepare well." The two young men following Wu Feng laughed when they heard this.

And the other talented men who were standing aside also heard the laughter coming from here at this moment.

"Fang Zhengzhi didn't know if the palace examination would be tested?"

"There's a good show now. We have been preparing for this palace examination for two years. He is fine and comes to the exam empty-handed? Hahaha."

"I really have never seen anyone who is not prepared for the palace examination."

"Shoulder see how he started writing!"

The talented men seemed to have seen the most surprising thing, and there was a smile in their eyes when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, just like they were watching a joke.

"Since Mr. Fang really doesn't know, it's really hard for me to disturb you anymore, so let's go first. Mr. Fang should prepare a little." Wu Feng looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then looked at Yan Xiu, and left with a smile.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't say much.

The guilty expression on Yan Xiu's face became stronger: "This matter, I."

"Why do you think Wu Feng said such things just now?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu. Of course, he believed that Yan Xiu could not deliberately hide it from him.

At this time, Wu Feng deliberately led the spear towards Yan Xiu, which was obviously provoking.

Moreover, it is an extremely obscure provocation.

"I understand." Yan Xiu nodded, and did not continue to explain, but said softly: "The palace examination has always been directly assigned by the emperor, so what has been tested in previous sessions is not the content of the Taoist scriptures."

"What is the test?" Fang Zhengzhi roughly understood that although the content of the Taoist scriptures contained the truth, the questions in the palace examination were all given by the emperor on the spot.

Then, it is impossible to give the six exam questions in advance like the pre-examination.

and

The most important thing is that the emperor cannot give a large number of test questions. At best, it is just one or two questions to test.

This way, it is easy to understand.

If one or two questions are selected from the Taoist scriptures, it is very likely that nearly 100 of the hundreds of test papers have the exact same answer.

How to judge the level?

"Statement!" Yan Xiu replied.

"So that's it." Fang Zhengzhi had actually guessed the answer in his heart.

He really never thought about it. He turned around and then turned around again. In the past world, ancient emperors abolished the eight-legged essay and started the examination policy.

It is to hope to raise current political issues during the palace examination.

Then, the talented men who were referring to answer and offered suggestions to the court. The word "strategy" comes from this. To put it bluntly, it is an article that offered suggestions to the court.

So

The problem is here.

As these talented men said, a good article, in addition to citing classics, also includes the current current affairs and the national conditions of the court.

Only when you understand the difficulties the court is facing now can you give a good corresponding article.

Moreover, it takes ten times, even dozens or hundreds of times to grind an article from publication to polishing, and then to finishing the manuscript.

Only in this way can there be hope to stand out among the many talents.

This is why those people just now looked at Fang Zhengzhen so much.

They have been preparing for two years, always caring about the situation in the court, knowing everything about the past two years, and thinking about it and thinking about it in the article.

I guess at least five current affairs papers have been published.

Fang Zhengzheng was fine, and he was completely unprepared. He had a blank head and came up to participate in the palace examination with a pen.

If this is the case, I can still win the palace examination in one fell swoop.

That's really a strange story for all time.

"What should I do?" Fang Zhengzhi frowned and cursed in his heart. It's so unlucky. Don't say that he didn't know anything when he came.

Even if I really know in advance.

In three or four days, you need to know all the things that happened in the court in the past two years, and you also need to understand the problems encountered by the court. It is simply like stepping on a ladder and trying to reach the sky.

A totally impossible thing.

"I have a few policy statements." Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhen, and said to the point where he spoke. He was a little reluctant but stopped.

"Yes, hurry up and copy Yan Xiu's strategy!"

"Fang Zhengzhi, if I were you, I would definitely let Yan Xiu say it right away."

"Well, we also want to hear Mr. Yan's strategy. I wonder if Mr. Yan can give me some advice?"

After hearing Yan Xiu's words, the talented men immediately surrounded him, like hungry local dogs.

Yan Xiu's expression turned slightly cold, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
