"If you are new every day, you are new every day, and you are new every day" comes from "The Great Learning".

It is said that this is the proverb engraved by King Shang Tang on the bathtub, which means diligent in self-reliance.

The title is difficult, not difficult, it is found in "The University". It is difficult, it is difficult, the third son of the Wei family has never read this sentence.

No, I can only stare at me. Who made the good ministers ignorant?

After glaring, he looked around quietly and found that other candidates were concentrating on answering questions.

When queuing outside the examination room, Liangchen finally found comfort. Because there were many candidates who were as old as him and even older than him, the biggest one was said to be his son who came to take the exam.

From this point of view, there are many people in the world who are more stupid than Wei Liangchen.

Some candidates are as troubled as him, and they also find ways to keep writing and deleting on the test paper, and they have to piece together an answer no matter what.

Good minister is fine, he does nothing and sees the Western scenery.

In the third row in the left front, the junior Liu Mingxin was writing the answer on the draft paper.

On the way here, Liangchen heard Ma Xiucai and the others commented, and they all said that Liu Mingxin was expected to pass the imperial examination this time and successfully entered the college entrance examination.

I vaguely remember that when this little guy went to the community with a snot, Liangchen was going to take the house exam with great enthusiasm. That time, he silently remembered the Hadith and was not won. After that, somehow, he suddenly lost the idea of ​​studying.

From then on, Liangchen followed a group of scoundrels in the countryside to make his reputation ruined. He was completely driven out of the society by Master Wu, breaking his imperial examination route. Later, he asked the people from the Taipu Temple Horse Factory to break his legs.

But if Wei Liangchen didn't make such a mess, maybe Li Zirong wouldn't have the good luck to be his ninth thousand-year-old nephew.

However, now I see the younger brother wielding ink, judging from his pen movements, there is no pause at all. I think I think Chinese thoughts are surging.

Looking at myself again, I took the pen and took it again and again, and he recognized the words on the volume, but he didn't know how to do this question.

This contrast is really depressing.

Liangchen didn't want to cheat because he didn't have any materials on this. Besides, he couldn't bring it in.

Although it is a boy test, there are still people who search for the candidates one by one when entering the examination room.

The table in this test room is also placed in a regular manner, with a fixed distance of one piece. There are invigilators on both sides of the room to inspect from time to time. Even if the good minister wants to peek at other people's answers, he can't reach it. Even if you reach it, you will be unlucky. Because there is no standard answer, it is impossible for two identical test papers to appear at the same time.

If you can't copy other people's things, you can't just read it like this. What's the point of handing in a blank paper? I, Wei Liangchen, is not Zhang Tiesheng.

My mother is happy, it will rain, and I want to get married, let it go, love yesterday and yesterday, at worst, I won’t go this path.

Thinking of this, Liangchen made up his mind, gritted his teeth and dipped his brush in a little ink, and then racked his brains. He finally thought about how to write the first sentence, but time passed by minute by minute, and his strokes were ultimately unable to fall.

Once the first sentence is available, what should I do if the second sentence is available?

This imperial examination is not a composition question for later generations. If you write a question, you will get three points. If you make a few words wrong, you will not pass.

It is better not to write a joke about it.

Forget it, don’t dream big during the day, and don’t look at your own materials. You can pretend to be a pussy occasionally. It’s really a good idea to reveal your true colors.

If you don’t take the exam, you won’t be beheaded anyway!

The Liangchen "hu" exhaled his chest and threw the pen aside, then closed his eyes and calmed down.

At this moment, I hate that I did not submit the paper in advance, otherwise the good minister would have escaped and slipped home.

As for his father's question, what is it difficult to deal with?

If I couldn't stay at home, I went to the capital to look for Baba.

All the avenues lead to Beijing, and living people can even suffocate their urine to death.

………

As the main examination, Chen Lun, the prefect of Hejian, certainly could not wander around the examination room like a proctor. His duty was to sit in charge. When the exam was completed, he would have a special person to mark the papers, and then submit the excellent test papers to him. Before that, he had no need to do anything.

Chen Lun's deputy, Hejian Tongzhi Liu Guotai, was also in the examination room, and the two of them were drinking tea and chatting in the public room.

Chen Lun was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli. He first became a magistrate and was promoted to Tongzhi before his term was over. Compared with Yan Liang, the magistrate of Suning, Liu Guotai's official career was obviously much more prosperous.

The prefect and the Tongzhi were together, and what they were talking about was the latest land acquisition event, and the other two test sites were Jinghai and Cangzhou.

"I have read Jinghai's test paper, but I haven't read Cangzhou's. It's roughly the same, just plain and uncommon, without any novel articles."

Chen Lun was a little regretful, but he was unable to become an official in Nanzhili, so he could not see young talents. Think about how many excellent test papers emerged every year in Nanzhili. These papers were bought by booksellers and sold them all over the country. I don’t know how much money I made. I heard that the mimeographed houses and scripture factories in the Neijingwenwen study room also fell in love with this wealth path and was very arguing with the merchants in Jiangnan.

"The literary style is strong in the south and weak in the north. I am not as good as Zhili in the north, so I don't have to worry about it." Liu Guotai laughed. Chen Lun had the background of the inner court, and he also had it, and this background is not weaker than Chen Lun at all, because he was the concubine.

To be precise, if Liu Guotai was promoted to Tongzhi for a term, he was promoted to Tongzhi because of Concubine Zheng's younger brother. The younger brother of this Concubine was the same as Liu Guotai, and was named Zheng Guotai. However, the same name and different surnames were destined to have very different identities and statuses.

Of course, Chen Lun knew about his deputy's background and did not conflict much. After all, his godfather Jin Zhong and the imperial concubine were also close.

"But this time, I may not be able to produce a talented man in Hejian." Thinking of Wei Liangchen, Chen Lun couldn't help but chuckled. He attached great importance to this man.

After the disaster of Wei Liangchen escaped from prison in Suning a month ago, Chen Lun wrote a letter to the Admiral Huang Yanshi. The letter did not say that Wei Liangchen was imprisoned, but only said that he had solved the problem of protecting the young man.

A few days later, Huang Yanshi replied to Chen Lun, and the letter was only mentioned in two or three words, and it seemed that he did not take it much in his heart. However, Huang Yanshi's letter accidentally mentioned the recent attempt of the Donglin Party to promote Li Sancai to enter the cabinet, which made Chen Lun very excited.

Although I just mentioned it, the meaning of this is worth pondering.

To a certain extent, Chen Lun believed that this was Huang Yanshi reaching out to him on behalf of the Chu party. This made him feel that the trip to Suning was not in vain.

Wei Liangchen helped him a lot.

After the government examination is over, Huang Yanshi will go to Hejian to preside over the examination in the hospital.

Chen Lun would not break his promise. As long as Wei Liangchen's test paper was done well, it would not be excellent. He would also give the boy a first-class comment.

Now, he was waiting to see if the boy could still write a wonderful article as the boy said.

If possible, it will be even more beautiful.

Liu Guotai heard about Wei Liangchen, but did not think much about it. He only said that this prefect really cherishes Confucian scholars. There was a major matter in front of him, that was, Zheng Guotai was coming to Hejian.

The imperial concubine's younger brother did not come to Hejian specifically, but went to Jiangnan.

News from the capital said that since the Demon Book case, the Imperial Concubine has been resentful and has always been angry about her reputation being slandered by the Shilin. So she wanted her younger brother to go to Jiangnan to personally hire one or two scholars, and spared no expense to eliminate the bad influence of the Demon Book case on her Zheng family. It is unknown whether there is any instruction from the current emperor behind this matter.

Zheng Guotai went to Jiangnan under his sister's order. In addition to doing the important business, he naturally had to fight Qiufeng. Liu Guotai would definitely not be able to escape from Hejian Mansion.

………

In the examination room, the good minister who had closed his eyes and rested, fell asleep in a daze.

Since ancient times, it is not that there are no people sleeping in the examination room, but that there are many people.

These candidates could not answer the test papers and could not leave early, so they could only sleep there.

Otherwise, what else can I do?

But fewer people can dream when sleeping, even fewer people can dream in the world!

Liangchen had such an earth-shaking dream.

In the dream, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Heavenly Qi actually held his hand and praised him: "The Great Wei is so capable. He is loyal to me and has great talents. If it weren't for you, the Emperor, I would have no taste of doing it... Why not, I will change your name to you?"

"I wonder what name the emperor wants to change to me?" The good minister in the dream was so excited that he praised the emperor.

"Yes." Zhu Youxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, "What do you think of the name Zhongxian?"

Before the Liangchen answered, his second uncle was overjoyed: "Loyal and virtuous, loyal and virtuous!"

"Puff!"

Liangchen was awakened by his saliva. Damn, Zhu Youxiao changed me from Liangchen to Zhongxian. Wouldn't it mean that I have become a real Qiansui!

He subconsciously touched his bird, and it was still there, Liangchen felt relieved.

This dream is not a good sign.

Liangchen spat, even if the sky collapsed, he would never sell his bird.

Looking up, there were many candidates who had finished their papers and were waiting for the papers to be completed. There were also many candidates who just woke up like him.

The time is coming, and there is an invigilator in the examination room loudly reminding candidates who have not finished the paper.

Time is coming soon?

Liangchen habitually raised his wrist and looked at the watch, and found that there was nothing on his wrist.

When I looked at the test papers on the table again, it was still blank.

After thinking about it, I couldn’t pass the exam anyway, so I just came to “travel here”.

Just what to write about? You can’t really write about Wei Liangchen’s trip here.

While thinking, he thought of it, so he raised his pen with great enthusiasm and wrote: "Scholars are the most unhealthy; their writing is too bad. The country is trying to find talent, but who knows that they have become a deceptive skill. Three sentences follow the topic, two sentences solve the topic. He waves his tail and shakes his head, and then he says he is a senior brother of the Holy Sect. You know what kind of articles are there; the ancestor of Han and Tang, who is the emperor of that dynasty.

The sermons on the table and the new tools are bought in the store. I can read them and sigh, and the sugarcane bagasse, chew them and chew them. What does it feel like? I let down time and fall into a coma during the day, and I will deceive high officials, which is also a bad luck for the people and the court."

After writing, I was still in high spirits, so I simply wrote a five-character poem:

"My name is Wei Liangchen, and I have my own way of serving the country.

If you don’t write eight-part essays, you should be a useful person.”
