Chapter 69
Zhang Youqian said you two are having a very fashionable time, let's go out and chat for a while. When I saw Huang Liu and Huang Qi, the two old scholars, were so scared that they were no longer looking at each other, and felt compassion in their hearts. They said let's forget it, but there was no substantial cheating.
After entering Xuan No. 11 House, Ying Dahai lay on the table and then slept. After a while, he snored like thunder, then the fart sounded like thunder, like rain hitting banana leaves, and the broken jade fell beads.
In less than half a day, I felt exhausted. Seeing this, I stepped forward to care. Mr. Gong, did you have a stomachache yesterday? Come on, I will pour you a cup of herbal tea to clear your stomach.
Ying Dahai was angry but not strong, so he told my father that I would not take the exam. I whispered that how could that happen? Your father spent a lot of money and must let you pass the exam. You can hold on here for three days, and it will be fine.
Pang Dahaidao, my stomach hurts. I can’t hold on for three days.
Zhang Youqian said that someone may not be able to win after ten years of hard work. You can win the exam in three days after diarrhea. Such a cheap thing can’t be found even with a lantern. You can just have fun by yourself.
After hearing this, Ying Dahai felt it made sense, and it was right, so I'll bear it anymore.
Even though Jiangnan Academy conducted two strict body searches before entering the venue, nearly a hundred people were still caught cheating after half a day, which shows that the fraud in the imperial examination was very serious. Some cheating candidates even carved the Four Books and Five Classics on the palm-sized foil, which was amazing.
In the afternoon, I saw the chief examiner, but the inspector didn't come. I and Zhang Youqian talked about the imperial examinations aside. Zhang Youqian said that the wisest decision I made in my life was to not participate in the imperial examinations. For this matter, my father hung me on a tree and beat me for three days.
I nodded and said that these three days of fighting are worth it! Look at the two old scholars Huang Liu and Huang Qi, who are old and want to pass the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination. Even if they pass the imperial examination, how many days can they become officials?
Zhang Youqian said, you are very wrong. You are a martial arts practitioner and don’t know much about the official system of the Ming Dynasty. For example, today, the lower fifth-class people, the military, civil and commercial, have serious hierarchy differentiation. Just like our Zhang family, even if the capital is rich, as long as there is no official in the family, this wealth that is as rich as a country is always the meat in the morning and evening eyes and the food on the plate. Zhang Baiwan spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to the Beijing officials of the six ministries, foreign officials who came to Beijing to report their duties, and even the candidates who came to take the exam. Over the past few decades, they have been intricately linked with various forces and compiled a net, and gradually stabilized their status in the capital. Now that someone touches our Zhang family, they must be pulling out the whole body, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud.
I sighed, it's really **!
Zhang Youqian said calmly, these are just ways to protect my Zhang family. I just didn’t want to be with the crowd, so I ran to Liushenmen to be a constable.
I remember that Zhang Youqian had a bad relationship with his father, so when he talked about Zhang Baiwan, he always called him his name, but it seems that this kid still admired his father.
Zhang Youqian is not bad-hearted, except for some prodigality and lust. I remember when I first met him, he was still a playboy. He took this place in Liushemen for less than half a year and his personality became much more restrained.
While the two were chatting, they saw the invigilator from the four houses of the universe coming over. This man was from the Jiangnan garrison army, not from the Six-door system. The officer smiled at us and was about to go into the toilet.
I signaled Zhang Youqian to see him, and he stopped him, "According to the rules, you can't use this toilet." The invigilator was stunned. Didn't Lord Geng remind you?
I said I had given the instructions and let us take good care of Mr. Gong and make sure he was not disturbed by anyone! I looked at him, but saw a test paper hidden in his sleeve. I guess he had bribed the gunman in the exam room. After answering, I had a plan to hide the truth.
Zhang Youqian still wanted to stop him, but I smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe." Go forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying that time is tight, so the academician and the inspector will come back at any time, so you can move faster."
The invigilator nodded and went in. In less than ten breaths, he covered his nose and ran out, said hello and went back to his invigilator area. Zhang Youqian said, "Are you really helping this kid?"
I said loudly that after collecting the money, of course I have to do something. Zhang Youqian said I despise you. I reached out to raise a test paper and raised it in front of him. Zhang Youqian asked, "What was the one I sent in just now?"
I said that compared with the answer sheet, I think Mr. Gong needs a roll of toilet paper more. Zhang Youqian said that you would never know how to do this. I laughed and said, "I'm just empty-handed, I'm a professional."
Zhang Youqian was enlightened and suddenly asked, honestly, did you let me go if my jade pendant was in the capital back then?
I said in surprise, I don’t know what kind of jade pendant. But I thought to myself that I would not say anything about this. Before I became a master, I had made an oath to steal the sect before the portrait of the sage, and admitted that it was against the teachings of the ancestors and violated professional ethics.
I am solemn to swear to God and the public that I wish that I will be pure and loyal in theft throughout my life, and do not steal harmful and useless things, and do not seek compassion, so that widows, widows, widows, orphans, and do my best to increase the level of my profession. I should keep secrets when I hear and hear personal affairs and all housework. I will be loyal and encouraged to steal careers, and concentrate on giving the stolen happiness to those who are stolen.
This oath of stealing the door was extremely tangled. I took a long time to memorize it. The fifth senior brother never forgets it. After reading it, I recited it. Thinking of this, I suddenly missed several senior brothers.
The case analysis on the second day, in the afternoon, the invigilator came to deliver the answer again. Yesterday, he almost smothered him to death from the secret lattice of the pit. Today, I learned my lesson and put the answer in a roll. I used the same trick again and replaced it with an illustration version of Jin Ping Mei. Throughout the afternoon, Yang Dahai was in a state of nervous functional excitement.
On the third day, the topic was "On the Case of the Empty Seal". This topic was shocking. It has been less than a year since the empty seal case, and the aftermath has not yet been resolved. Even in the capital, people were afraid of hearing about the case, and they were caught by the Jinyiwei, the East Factory, and the West Factory. Even if they don't die, they will lose their skin. Although the Jiangnan customs are open-minded, it is not easy for ordinary people to judge the secret cases of the court.
After two days of tossing, Yang Dahai was obviously losing weight. He waved his hand at us and said, "What are you doing?" Yang Dahai said, what's the topic today?"
I said there is a test paper?
Ying Dahai pointed to the toilet, but it was too late to use it.
What are you afraid of? Someone will give you the answer.
Zheng Dahai said sadly, when I was delivering my meal in the morning, I heard that the inspector of the No. 4 House of the Universe of the Great Desolation was arrested. Today it depends on my own ability.
Zhang Youqian said that we are only responsible for invigilating the exam, and the test questions are not clear, as if they are empty or something.
Ying Dahai asked, "Empty? Air?"
I said it seems to be.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Dahai said happily, he had it! He picked up the brush and wrote two big words on the paper, "Fast Theory".
The fart is the qi of grains and grains! It originates from the internal organs, comes from the pylorus, and cannot see it when you see it, and hear it when you hear it. It is the qi, the shadow cannot reach the shape, the dust cannot rise, it escapes, and it stops clearly; it strengthens the evil atmosphere in a room, and releases the taste of the grains... It is the sound, neither metal nor stone, nor silk nor bamboo; it is the sound of cracking silk and shaking, or it is the continuous pearl, or it is the mute and whisper, or it is the aggressive and shouting; it is the sigh, or it is the whisper, it is the whisper, it is the roar of birds, the roar of beasts, and the strange sounds of all kinds.
The more you write, the more excited you are, the more you think, the thoughts are like a smudge, and it flows thousands of miles away. In less than half an hour, the "Fast Theory" was written, and he was a little proud. How about it?
I said that you must be the first name this year!
It has been two days since the invigilator, and we were already tired. We ate a few soup buns at noon and were confused by the wall column in the afternoon. Suddenly, several people came from a distance. I looked up and saw that it was Emperor Ming Zhu Runze who brought Beilu, Nanxi, and the Minister of Rites to the spring examination site. As for the Master of Education, the prefect Song followed the team at the end of the team, half bent over, looking very funny. The man in black was still half-closing his eyes, looking like he had not woken up.
I woke up Zhang Youqian, and Zhang Youqian asked what was wrong. I whispered, the emperor is here. Zhang Youqian glanced at Zhu Runze and said that this is the emperor?
I said, "You can speak quietly."
Emperor Ming Zhu Runze heard the movement and saw us and walked towards us. Brother, we met again. I was about to salute, but Zhu Runze waved his hand and gave up the gift. After that, he looked at Zhang Youqian again, "Are you Zhang Baiwan's son?"
Zhang Youqian looked unafraid, yes, what's wrong? When this was said, all the officials were upset, and they couldn't help but feel cold sweat for this kid. This is the current emperor, do you think it's the old king next door?
Zhu Runze said, it’s nothing, I’ll ask.
Zhu Runze inspected the examination room for a while, and all the candidates were busy answering, but did not notice that the person with the most powerful in the world was on the scene. Zhu Runze said to Xie Shiting, Xie Qing, your argument is so heartbroken.
Xie Shiting bowed and said, "Under the rule of the wise king, all the scholars in the world dared to say this. In ancient times, Emperor Tang opened up a wide range of ways of speaking, but in the prosperous era of the early Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong of this dynasty listened to favors and flirted with danger. For example, today, the world is peaceful and all nations come to the court, which is because of the wise ruler. The imperial examination is a key matter in the court. Is this question to choose capable ministers who govern the world for the emperor, rather than just a fool who just reads hard.
This flattery, let alone Zhu Runze, we felt relieved after hearing this. It seemed that Xie Shiting had quickly adapted to the role of the Minister of Revenue.
Because of Xie Junyan, I have no good feelings for Xie Shiting, and I always feel that this guy cherishes his feathers too much.
Emperor Ming Zhu Runze asked, among the students in this spring exam, there was a person named Li Muge, who was in which house?
The academician and the invigilator wanted to pass the examination list. They searched back and forth three times, but Li Muge's name was not found. So they said, "Long live the report, the little minister searched the file, but there was no such person."
Zhu Runze's face suddenly sank. Is there anyone who found out?
