The scholars who participated in the night examination yesterday have widely publicized their experience. What is particularly outstanding is the writing paper, the pine smoke ink used, and the exquisite inkstone, all of which reveal the grandeur of this event.
Very high specifications.
They are scholars.
Naturally, I want to experience it myself.
Gu said calmly:
"Everyone, please be patient."
"There are now more than a thousand scholars here. There are only a hundred scholars for each test. One hundred people are in one batch. These hundred people will not distinguish between high and low. Everyone can take a seat and everyone can participate.
Choose this event.”
"Although it is divided into two distinct columns."
"But the requirements still need to be stated."
"There will be no distinction between high and low among the scholars who enter. Da Qin will treat them all equally. Do not try to insert others or change positions. Except for choosing your own position at the beginning, nothing you choose will be changed in the future."
"The hundreds of people who enter are strictly prohibited from arguing, clashing, and making loud noises. If there is any cheating for personal gain, or whispering, they will be taken away directly by the guards. Each person is only allowed to participate once. If he is found to have participated multiple times, he will be
Thieves are severely punished.”
"besides......"
Gu made a series of requests.
Wait until the details are finished.
He raised his hand, and the guards around him immediately understood and stepped aside to let the passage in. In just the blink of an eye, dozens of people poured in.
One person, one table.
In less than fifty blinks, all the tables placed in Ji Que were occupied.
Gu then said:
"Sirs who are not seated, please leave temporarily."
"It's still early, so there's no need to rush. The weather in the past few days has been detected by wizards and other officials. It's all cloudy. It won't rain or be exposed to the sun. Please rest assured."
"Here comes someone."
"Put on pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
In an instant, hundreds of maids walked into Ji Que carrying wooden trays. In the wooden trays were neatly placed pens, inks, paper and inkstones. At the same time, eight maids came around holding incense and used the incense to calm and repel mosquitoes.
The incense is placed on the eight corners of Ji Que.
It's August.
It was the time when mosquitoes were rampant. Although the sky had cleared up, there were still a lot of mosquitoes. In order to prevent the scholars from being affected, Qin Luoheng asked the Shaofu for a lot of incense. However, the cost of incense was extremely high, so did Qin Luoheng.
No waste of words.
even.
In order to get enough pens, inks, inkstones and incense, he often ran to the Shaofu. Some time ago, he became the ghost of the Shaofu officials. When the Shaofu officials met Qin Luoheng on the road, they all avoided him.
, and didn’t want to meet Qin Luoheng at all.
And the effect is naturally surprisingly good.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were officially unveiled to the public for the first time. They were already eye-catching. Along with the incense and other items, the scholars present did not know how much these items cost, but they also knew in their hearts that Qin Ting really paid a lot for this event.
A lot of effort was put into it.
otherwise.
Why is it so extravagant?
After the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all placed on the table, Gu said loudly this time: "What is in front of you is the 'Four Treasures of the Study' named by Dr. Qin, that is, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the pen is just an ordinary rabbit hair pen, and the ink is the imperial brush."
If the pine smoke ink is put into water and ground for a while, it will directly turn into ink."
"The paper was specially made by Dr. Qin for this event, and the cost is extremely high."
"The inkstone is made by dozens of craftsmen in Xianyang, and it took two months to lay down and polish it carefully. It is unique and each model has a different style."
"Dr. Qin has already presented."
"It is clear that celebrities who are among the top 100 celebrities, whether they respect Qin or oppose Qin, will be able to take away a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case at the end of this event, and the government will also give an additional six pieces of paper.
"
"..."
Gu stood on top and spoke eloquently.
The scholars around him looked excited and excited when they heard this. They never expected that Qin Ting would be so bold and generous this time and directly gave away a hundred sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Generous!
Pen, they don't care.
But they are greedy for the ink, paper and inkstone.
These are all good things!
While the scholars around him were eager to show off their talents and acquire a set of "Four Treasures of the Study", Zhang Cang secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exclaimed that he was very lucky.
If he hadn't been smart.
Otherwise, he would be the one standing on the stage.
A month ago, the imperial censor called him over and gave him the task of announcing the detailed rules. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey the order. He could only take it hard, but he
I think I am a famous person, but I really can't hide this face.
He thought about it and finally came up with a solution.
Things cannot be pushed back.
But he could find another way.
As a disciple of Xunzi, how could he not participate in such a grand event?
So as soon as he wrote to Dun Ruo, he turned from an organizer to a participant, and the announcement of the detailed rules naturally fell on his subordinates.
Listening to Gu's dogmatic reading of various details and his somewhat boastful words, Zhang Cang was secretly glad that although what Gu said was true, he was really ashamed to say it.
Say it out loud.
the other side.
Tao She went to Zhang Xi's side.
Zhang Xi quickly saluted and said, "I've met Brother Tao."
Tao She said: "There is no need to be so polite. Your brother and I both came from the army all the way. We have a life-long friendship, so you don't need to be polite to me."
Zhang Xi nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tao, you have been promoted to Shaofu Tongcheng for less than half a year, and you have been in the military in the past. Why did you come to this gathering of scholars?"
?”
Tao She closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "I am not really here to participate in this gathering of scholars, and my talents cannot make me stand out. This time I am just entrusted by others to support the occasion."
Speaking of which.
Tao She also looked depressed.
He was finally promoted to the rank of Tongcheng of the Shaofu. Although he was not a Tongcheng official, he was still promoted to the imperial court. As a result, Hua Fu and others came to him not long after and asked him to attend this gathering of scholars.
Isn't it funny for people like him and his colleagues to participate in such a gathering of scholars?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He immediately sternly refused.
But Hua Fu later revealed something to him.
He was also startled.
Qin Luoheng was actually the 'dead' Tenth Young Master.
After knowing that Qin Luoheng was the tenth son, he thought about it and decided to participate. He was from the Guanzhong clan and would always step down for Qin Luoheng. Moreover, the recent changes in the court were faintly tilted towards the Guanzhong clan, which made him unable to help but join. Heartbroken.
However, this matter cannot be explained to outsiders!
Zhang Xi's eyes revealed a strange color.
It was just that Tao She obviously didn't elaborate on his thoughts, so he couldn't ask further. He just looked at Zhang Cang and Shen Zheng suspiciously, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
immediately.
He thought of Qin Luoheng.
He couldn't understand why Qin Luoheng had such great influence?
The left and right prime ministers, imperial censors, and court lieutenants may have been ordered by His Majesty. After all, this grand event is related to the face of the Qin Dynasty. It is not surprising that the standard is higher. However, Tao She, Zhang Cang, and Shen Zheng obviously have no need to participate. , but still came.
This is obviously extraordinary.
It's just that he really can't figure out why.
but.
Zhang Xi obviously had a different idea.
Except Tao She is here to support the scene.
Zhang Cang and Shen Zheng actually had other ideas.
Zhang Cang was ashamed to go on stage.
Shen Cheng wanted to gain fame through this.
Although he served in the Prime Minister's Office, his official position was not high.
In the past, having Prime Minister Wang Wan take care of him was indeed a fish in water. But now, Old Prime Minister Wang Wan can be regarded as retired. However, a formal order has not yet been issued, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has been handed over to the government. Li Si is in power, and although he shows his prominence, he has actually been marginalized.
He felt a little unwilling.
I want to show off my talents through this gathering of scholars, in order to gain His Majesty's appreciation, and then continue to be reused, or get the opportunity to be transferred.
Inside Ji Que.
Gu's voice has long since stopped.
I could only hear the rustling sound of writing coming from inside Ji Que.
This group of scholars has begun to take the test.
Outside Ji Que, the scholars who had not entered looked eagerly at the people inside, but from time to time their eyes looked at the ink, paper and inkstones placed neatly on the table, their eyes full of hope.
Fan Zeng closed his eyes slightly.
Looking at the four treasures on the table, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
even.
He couldn't help but say a good plan.
This is a conspiracy!
Even if he saw it, there was nothing he could do.
Qin Ting indeed spent a lot of money. This set of four treasures of the study was priceless, and its appeal to scholars was even more amazing. Scholars in the world have always despised Qin, but after Qin Ting spent all this money, he quietly let the scholars Zi had a good impression of Qin Ting.
Because we value it!
At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the Doctoral Academy was established. At that time, the Qin court was very domineering and perfunctory. They just issued a light order and wanted all the scholars from the world to serve in the Qin Dynasty. The results can be imagined.
Almost no celebrities went there.
But this grand gathering of scholars, first of all, there was no choice between high and low, and then all kinds of priceless things were presented, which has attracted the attention of the world. Even if this grand gathering fails, it will still be praised by the scholars of the world.
And this will undoubtedly be beneficial to the restoration of Da Qin's reputation.
Reputation is priceless!
Qin Ting seemed to have spent a lot of money, but in fact he gained more.
Qin Ting authorized the scholars who were selected into the top 100 celebrities to take away a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. This move would not only stimulate the fighting spirit of the participating scholars, but also undoubtedly inadvertently raise the entry threshold, ensuring the quality of the scholars who were finally selected.
When the selected scholars bring back this set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, they will definitely treat them as treasures. They are selected to be selected because they have great talents. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people around them undoubtedly have certain talents.
Subtly, the influence of this event will be far-reaching.
This move can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Although he understood this, he was unable to stop it.
Because this is a conspiracy!
Everything is on the surface, but Qin Ting gives so many things that people can't help but fall for the bait.
Fan Zeng's eyes were dark.
He glanced at Ji Que Gaotai, but he was thinking of a name in his heart.
Qin Luoheng!
Although Qin Luoheng never showed up, Qin Luoheng was involved in every move of this grand event. He had secretly regarded Qin Luoheng as his number one enemy to disrupt Qin.
