The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 580

[580.Chapter 566 Man can conquer nature]

Fang Jifan led the people away in a mighty way.

Three years ago, he came with three people, but now, he left with two hundred people.

The encounters in life are indeed unpredictable.

But under this list, it is still the same as three years ago, and it has fallen into a general silence.

“No more exams, no more exams.” Some people who failed the exam looked ashen-faced.

I really don’t want to take the exam.

What else are you taking the exam for?

Life in this world is just like a particle of dust. How painful is life and death? What’s the point of fame and fortune?

After ten or twenty years of hard study, I have lost my reputation. Seeing that those former scumbags can become a blockbuster, but looking back at myself, I think my brain is not bad, my IQ is not low, I can’t say that I am not hardworking…

Alas…

the so-called fame is all in vain.

Even the high school student couldn’t hide the wry smile on his face and shook his head.

There is no glory, no pride, and even… no one will look up to you just because you were named on the gold list… It’s really boring.

“Test papers, exam papers…”

Yes, exam papers.

Many people reacted.

You have to take a look at the examination papers of Xishan Academy. No, how is it possible? Everyone in this academy has passed.

You must know that examiners have different appetites. This is why it is said that writing does not come first.

We also make stereotyped writing, and they at Xishan Academy also make stereotyped writing. How come they dominate the list?

Could it be that they all guessed the examiner’s appetite?

If that’s all it is, it would be a bit unfair.

People began to ask for examination papers from Gongyuan.

At every examination, all high school test papers will be released together with the rankings, in order to prevent controversy among scholars.

All these high school articles are bound into volumes and are available for reference at any time.

The scholars headed by Xu Aoling and others who were a little unwilling got the booklet. They all put their heads together and opened the first article. This first article was an article by Huiyuan Liu Jie.

Everyone looked at it with their heads bent, trying to find loopholes in the article. They concentrated on it word by word.

But as he looked along, he took a deep breath.

There are no flaws. It is like a model essay that has been refined over time. Even every word and every word is just right. .

And this… is the real foundation. Looking back at my eight-part stocking, because of the rush of time, I didn’t have time to study it carefully. Even if I broke the topic and excelled, the following steps, such as carrying the topic, starting the stock, two stocks, three stocks, closing the stock, etc., would also be correct. There will be some flaws, but the Eight-Part Essay Test is about who makes the fewest mistakes, not who has the most novel ideas and is innovative in solving the problem. If you change to some talented examiners, you may be given some bonus points, but after all, it is limited.

The essence of eight-gut… is to dance on the tip of a knife.

Huh…

Xu Aoling read it several times in a row, but he still didn’t find any flaws.

Finally…he gave up.

Deep down… I feel a little desperate. This is such a profound skill. I am afraid that I will never be able to catch up with it in my lifetime.

They looked at the second place, the third place, the fourth place… one by one, they were all written by candidates from Xishan Academy. Almost… you couldn’t fault all the articles, even if it was the reason why Liu Jie was ranked. First, maybe compared to his brothers, he just had better luck. His problem solving had a little more novelty, but this novelty only stopped there…

It was like ice water poured on the top of his head. , Xu Aoling gave up completely.

He heaved a sigh of relief: “”If I study at Xishan Academy, I can do better than Liu Jie. “

“……”

“Me too. “

Students too…”

Everyone was talking. They

were unconvinced.

Find out the reason.

Aren’t these people just unlucky?

If it were me, people like Liu Jie might not be able to pass the exam. Judging from their articles, although their writing was sophisticated and flawless, they lacked spirituality.

Many people looked at each other and began to make their own plans in their hearts

…

Forbidden City…

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his illness had eased .

A lot.

This gave him some comfort. Maybe… the condition was not

that

serious.

However… from the eyes of the doctors, Emperor Hongzhi also understood… that the intestinal paralysis was terrible.

That being the case, then… just use your short life to do what you can.

Emperor Hongzhi actually cheered up

and went to Nuan Pavilion to hold on to his broken body.

Liu Jian has already arrived, and Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng, Wang Ao, Zhang Shengren, etc. are all the humerus of Emperor Hongzhi. The emperor and his ministers have known each other for many years.

Now, these people all know about His Majesty’s condition privately, and all of them look sad.

Emperor Hongzhi was happy: “Why do all the Qings have such expressions? The imperial doctor said that I should be in a better mood, but as for you, you must make me uncomfortable.”

“I don’t dare. Emperor

Hongzhi waved his hand: “The sky will not fall down. After I learned about the illness at first, I felt very uncomfortable. Later, I figured it out. Okay, let’s not talk about this. Today is a big day, the talent promotion ceremony, I Now I’m looking forward to… Xie Qing’s family sending me the exam results.”

He glanced at Liu Jian and said, “The son of Liu Qing’s family will also participate in this year’s examination. How about that? “

This… Liu Jian’s mood was complicated.

In fact, he has some confidence in his son, maybe… he may not be able to be named on the gold list.

But on the other hand, he was worried that if he boasted a little too much and said that his son could pass the exam, but the result was unsatisfactory, wouldn’t he be laughed at?

Therefore, he was silent for a moment: “The dog has little talent and little knowledge. The last time he won the Jieyuan of Beizhili, it was luck, but his qualifications are mediocre. What’s more, the Jieyuan of Beizhili is only mediocre in the world. , I feel that if he wants to pass the exam, he needs some luck.”

No one else said anything.

It would have been a pleasant question to at least liven up the mood.

But in fact, everyone is reluctant to speak. After all, they have heard about Liu Jie. It’s not that they don’t have confidence at all, but that they don’t have enough confidence. At this time, if they say something like a sure hit, Liu Jie will immediately fail. Hoof, this is embarrassing.

Forget it, let’s just pretend to be dead and don’t hit him with any gun.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said without comment, “That’s how it is in the imperial examination. There is no guarantee that you will win. The difficulty lies in the eight-legged essay. It is too complicated. Even the most talented people dare not pat their chests. He said, “I am sure.”

Everyone nodded.

This… does require some luck.

Ma Wensheng was in a relaxed mood today, because at least… he didn’t have to be criticized today.

But thinking about His Majesty’s poor health, he felt a little depressed.

He once wondered if he was plagued by some bad luck. Not only was he unlucky, but so were the people around him.

That damn fortune teller also said that he would have good fortune. A few days ago, he went to ask for help. Who knew that this person had already run away?

This made Ma Wensheng feel like his intelligence was insulted. The dignified Minister of War was fooled by a warlock. However, he couldn’t go out to find someone in a big way. After all… he really didn’t want people to know that he was being played.

Just when he didn’t know what to say, a eunuch came in a hurry: “Your Majesty, Xie Qian, the cabinet scholar, comes to see you.”

Here…

Liu Jianji wanted to behave appropriately so as not to pay too much attention to his son’s exams. And causing jokes makes people feel that they are not stable enough.

But this is his son, the heir of the Liu family. It is not only about his own face, but also about the rise and fall of a family.

This made him not nervous, with various complicated expressions on his face.

After a while, Xie Qian entered the Nuan Pavilion and saluted: “I have met your Majesty.”

Emperor Hongzhi said seriously: “Where is the list?”

“I didn’t bring the list.” Xie Qian smiled bitterly.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, what’s going on? Although Xie Qian is occasionally humorous, he is never confused about major matters. Since he knew that I was looking forward to the announcement, why did he forget such a major matter.

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart skipped a beat: “What happened?”

Xie Qian smiled bitterly: “There is something fishy about this year’s imperial examination. I don’t know whether I should come to plead guilty.”

Liu Jian wanted to die.

What… something happened? Could it be a major fraud case?

Xie Qian immediately said: “It’s so strange this year. All fifteen disciples of Xishan Academy are on the list…”

Fifteen… all of them are successful!

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

He found it incredible.

This…is impossible.

Who is sure that he will hit all the marks?

Xie Qian added: “The person ranked first…is named Liu Jie. Not only that, but those ranked below Liu Jie from first to ninth are all from Xishan Academy. The other six people, the lowest, are also ranked in the middle. , when I was grading the papers, I felt strange, because these papers were so perfect, so perfect that there were no flaws. However, when I was grading the papers, their names were unknown, and I don’t know who wrote these articles. I will wait for myself in person. After reading the list, I realized…it turns out…they…they…”

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath, Xishan Academy, this is not giving people a way to live, this imperial examination was contracted by their Xishan Academy ?

And Liu Jian heard that Liu Jie ranked first in high school.

He was a little confused and subconsciously wanted to ask who Liu Jie was.

But he held back and thought for a moment. There may be many Liu Jies in the world, but Xie Qian said that it was Liu Jie from Xishan Academy. So…who else could it be?

My own son.

His son… won the Jieyuan first, and then the Huiyuan?

This… is more powerful than his own father.

You know, Liu Jian missed out on both Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan.

Unexpectedly, he would have a Huiyuan son!

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows and said sternly: “My son is very stupid. He must have been lucky enough to win the first prize. I’m ashamed. I’m really ashamed!”

Everyone looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian acted very modestly. Of course, this kind of humility is very common among many people. For example: Hey, didn’t my son get admitted to Tsinghua University? What does this mean? Your son also got admitted to the New Oriental Cooking School. It’s amazing.
