As soon as it gets dark, there are already crowds of people outside Donghua Gate.
On the side near the Gongyuan, all the places with better seats were already full of people. Some people even brought their bedding with them. It looked like they had queued up all night to occupy a place.
The surrounding businesses also opened their doors early to welcome customers, and the waiters were busy shuttling back and forth between the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor.
Probably because today is the day when the results of the imperial examination are released, all those who came here are the tributes who took part in the imperial examination.
In addition to the tributes, their boys, schoolmates, and students from the Imperial College also came to join in the fun. Some people in the capital also wanted to soak up Wenquxing's literary style and brought their children to watch. Even those from noble families came to watch.
The disciples also came to watch on horseback and with their slaves.
In short, it is already overcrowded before the results are released.
On the second floor of a teahouse opposite the place where the results were released, Yang Rong leaned against the window. His face seemed calm, but he drank tea one mouthful at a time to hide the tension in his heart.
The imperial examination is the only way out for scholars in the world. In the morning, you will be a farmer, and in the evening, you will ascend to the emperor's hall. After ten years of hard work, whether you can leap over the dragon's gate depends on today. If you miss it, you have to wait another three years. In this lifetime, can you
There are several three years.
"Brother Yang!" Yang Rong was still accompanied by the frivolous scholar surnamed Cui. He smiled and said, "You must have passed this subject!"
"Don't comfort me!" Yang Rong said with a smile, "The list has not been released for a moment, who can say that it will definitely win?"
In fact, as early as when he first came to Beijing, his teacher Xia Yuanji explained to him the preferences, marking characteristics, and writing style preferences of several main marking officials, so that he could do what they liked. Remember the URL m.

As soon as the imperial examination was over, he immediately went to his teacher Xia Yuanji and wrote his strategy again to the teacher. At that time, the teacher kept nodding and even said that the problem was not big, but for some reason he was unsure.
Moreover, the closer it gets to the release of the results, the more anxious I become.
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of my dear brother's jokes. If I really care, I'll be confused!" Yang Rong picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, laughing at himself.
"What did Brother Yang say? The so-called book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house!" The scholar surnamed Cui said with a smile, "Who in the world can't care about it! After the list is released, I am afraid that outside the Donghua Gate, there will be people on the spot.
There are many people who have fainted, haha!”
While they were talking, there was a sudden noise on the stairs, and the voice sounded familiar.
"Isn't it possible to see the list below? Why spend this money? This store is also evil. It costs us almost half a silver dollar to sit upstairs and drink tea. Dear brother, I know your family is richer, but this is not how the money is spent.
,Isn’t this nonsense?”
"Listen to me, let's take a walk. We're not going up. We'll just wait below!"
"Brother Han, this is just one day in a person's life. After suffering for so many years, I have some hope today. Why not do better to yourself? If you don't sit on top, you run around and crowd together below, which makes you dizzy from the sun!"
"Let's sit upstairs. If we win and laugh loudly, no one will say it's not dignified. If we don't win, if we cry loudly, no one will hear the joke! Just come with me! You can't save the half dollar.
Here comes the money!”
After the words fell, the two people went upstairs, it was Han Kezhong and Jiang Hongye.
After they came up, they happened to see Yang Rong and the one named Cui among the scholars upstairs.
When Jiang Hongye saw the person named Cui, he immediately frowned and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Cui Shusheng also turned his head angrily, with disdain in his eyes.
"I didn't know Brother Yang was here!" Han Kezhong treated Yang Rong very politely and bowed to the end.
That day outside Chengtian Gate, Yang Rong spoke to Han Kezhong, and Han Kezhong was grateful for the people who saved him.
"Brother Han!" Yang Rong also stood up and saluted, and said with a smile, "I don't want to meet you here!" After saying that, he stood up and pulled up a chair with his own hands, "Don't be polite today, you and I are brothers Nian from the same department.
, just sit together and wait for the results to be released!"
"If that's the case, I'm going to bother you!" Han Kezhong said with a smile.
Yang Rong looked at Jiang Hongye again and said with a smile, "I still remember that this wise brother's surname is Jiang!" He said with a smile, "Come together, we are all scholars, even if there are some quarrels, it is all in the past.
It’s done!” Then he smiled and said, “I’m the host today, let’s have tea and write thesis, how about it?”
This was very beautifully said. No matter how impatient Jiang Hongye was, he had no choice but to hand it over and said with a smile, "Sorry for bothering you!"
"Sit down!" Yang Rong affectionately pulled out the chair and sat down next to the two of them.
"How did Brother Han do in the exam?" Yang Rong continued to ask.
Han Kezhong shook his head and said with a wry smile, "To tell you the truth, I made a joke in the palace that day. Because there were so many drafts, there was no paper to write them in the end. Alas!" As he said this, he raised his hands to Tian Gong and said, "It just so happens that the Emperor
When he made his rounds and saw that I was in embarrassment, Chrysostom gave me test papers and told me to take my time and not be in a hurry. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would become a joke among the scholars!"
"Your Majesty?" Scholar Cui exclaimed, "You are meeting your Majesty face to face?"
Han Kezhong nodded, "Yes!"
The scholar surnamed Cui spat, "You actually met the emperor? What does the emperor look like?"
"This" Han Kezhong pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile, "As a minister, how can I dare to look directly at your father? However, the emperor's voice is really kind!"
"That's the emperor!" Cui Shusheng sat blankly with an envious expression on his face.
Yang Rong was also surprised, and then he poured a cup of tea for Han Kezhong with his own hands and said with a smile, "In that case, why should Brother Han be afraid of not winning!"
"Why did Brother Yang say this?" Han Kezhong asked in confusion.
"This guy is really stupid!"
Yang Rong thought to himself, you had this encounter with the current emperor in the palace, it was the emperor Jinsou who gave you the test paper and gave you a few instructions. As long as the examiner at that time was not stupid, he would tell the chief examiner about this.
As long as the examiner is not stupid, he will look at your handwriting more when collecting your papers.
The main marking officer is not stupid. As long as your paper is fluent, you can be ranked on the gold list.
He can't even think clearly about such a simple question, this person is really stupid!
"Foolishness is also a kind of character. Since he has had such an encounter, it will be even better when he becomes an official in the future. He will be able to be simple in the emperor's heart very early!"
"If we get along well with him now and have the friendship of the same age, we will naturally help him more in the future!"
Thinking in his mind, Yang Rong became even more approachable and said, "The so-called article is like the person he is. Brother Han is an honest and simple person, so the article is naturally more pragmatic. The first priority in this scientific examination is pragmatic strategies. In my opinion,
Brother Han will definitely pass this subject!"
"How dare you!" Han Kezhong said quickly.
"Let's make a bet. If Brother Han wins, we will have a banquet at Baihua Tower. If you don't win, how about I entertain you at Baihua Tower?" Yang Rong said with a smile.
"This" Han Kezhong was a simple and honest person. He didn't know how to say it for a moment and could only think about it in his mind, "Baihua Building, how much will it cost?"
"How can I win? I know my knowledge myself, but in the eyes of Brother Yang and others, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Han Kezhong said humbly, "If you want to win, you will win too!"
"Brother Han, don't worry!" Yang Rong continued with a smile, "Therefore, Prince Yiwen said that to recruit talents, one must recruit from both the north and the south. Although the southerners are good at writing, the northerners are heavy-handed (referring to the simple style of writing)
.It is this weight that is tested in today’s science!”
(This is actually what Renzong of the Ming Dynasty said. To recruit scholars, one must take them from both the north and the south. Although the southerners are good at writing, the northerners are heavy-handed. If Bileko chooses them, the northerners will only get a tithe. This is not the way of a fair world.
That is to say, scholars from the north and the south each have their own strengths. Those in the south who are good at prose can write more beautifully, while scholars in the north can write simple and thick compositions and are better at classics and meanings.)
"I'm so ashamed of myself for the ridiculous compliment from Brother Yang!" Han Kezhong said with shame.
At this time, Yang Rong suddenly looked at the scholar surnamed Cui, "Xiao Cui, what happened last time was your fault. Why don't you quickly apologize to Brother Han and Brother Jiang Xian?"
