After the exam was over, Tong Yuan walked out of the Gongyuan with the test blue in his hand and came to the agreed place. He saw that Liu Jin had been waiting early, and soon Huang Jinquan also came out.
The three of them looked at each other, with a smile on each other's lips.
"Go back first."
Liu Jin pretended to be very calm and calm, while Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan nodded very obediently. They were simply in admiration for their mentor.
I can get the answer on all the correct questions. The key is that I can get the answer on all the wrong questions. I can’t believe it.
As for doubting whether Liu Jin had obtained the test questions in advance, the two of them had doubts. They just thought that the examiner this time was Prince Wang Hao. Wang Hao has always been known for his uprightness, and he definitely could not be that kind of person. .
Therefore, there is only one possibility, and that is that my mentor is so lucky that he can win all the questions, and he is like a god.
"Brother Huang, Brother Tong~"
Just as the three of them were about to leave, a voice called out to them.
Following the sound, I looked over and saw that it was the people who were at Wangyue Tower that day, Jiang Shan, Ouyang Wen, and Liu Hongzhi.
"I wonder who this brother is?"
The three people came over, looked at Liu Jin and asked.
"This is my mentor~"
Tong Yuan said quickly.
"It turns out to be Liu Jin, Mr. Liu~"
When the three of them heard this, they immediately spoke to Liu Jin.
"You guys talk, I won't accompany you since I have something else to do."
Liu Jin smiled and returned the favor, and then he had no intention of chatting with them, so he said goodbye and left.
Naturally, there is nothing to talk about with them. Moreover, Liu Jin is quite famous now, and everyone is young. It is inevitable that he will be dragged into writing and writing. Liu Jin is very worried about how much ink he has in his belly. It is clear that in order to maintain his image as a master, he will definitely have to ask for gold fingers. It is not worth spending the points he has saved so hard on such a thing.
After Liu Jin finished speaking, he left directly without any intention of dragging his feet.
Jiang Shan, Ouyang Wen, and Liu Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and looked at each other slightly. They all saw dissatisfaction in each other's eyes. Liu Jin did not take the three of them into their eyes at all and completely ignored them. The existence of human beings does not even mean a simple conversation.
Even if he is a disciple of an expert, this is too arrogant.
These are the thoughts in the hearts of the three people.
But on the surface, he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled brightly and said to Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan: "Brother Huang, Brother Tong, how did you do in the exam?"
"I don't know either. The test questions this time are really too difficult."
Huang Jinquan pretended to smile bitterly and said, although he already knew in his heart that he would definitely pass this time, he still had to pretend to be superficial.
"It may be difficult for us, but it may not be so for Brother Jiang, Brother Ouyang, and Brother Liu. I think the three of them will definitely be able to go to high school."
Tong Yuan knew the purpose of these three people's visit, they just wanted to see his own jokes.
"It's about the same as Brother Huang. I'm not sure. The test questions this time are indeed too difficult."
Jiang Shan smiled and said.
"Yes, it's too difficult. This is the most difficult question."
Ouyang Wen and Liu Hongzhi also nodded and said that the three of them were still full of confidence before the exam. After the exam, the three of them discussed with each other and felt weak.
So I don't look too proud. It's really hard to talk about the imperial examination.
"Forget it, let's not talk anymore. Let's go back and have a good rest. We will know when the results are released."
Tong Yuan and Huang Jinquan looked at each other and did not continue chatting with the three of them. They said goodbye to the three of them very simply and hurried to Liu Jin's house.
"Looking at their appearance, they must have failed in the exam this time. Most of the three masters and apprentices in their sect will lose their reputation."
Ouyang Wen looked at Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan's leaving figures and said with a smile.
"If all three masters and apprentices of this master's school fail, it will definitely become a good story in the entire capital."
Liu Hongzhi also looked like he was waiting to see a joke.
"Who knows, maybe all three masters and disciples in one discipline will be successful."
Although Jiang Shan's words sounded nice, the two people next to him both heard the opposite meaning in them.
…
"Teacher~"
Tong Yuan and Huang Jinquan came to Liu Jin's house and knelt down immediately when they saw Liu Jin.
This was a kneeling from the heart. The two of them were very clear about their own level. Without Liu Jin to give them surprise training, and without Liu Jin to answer the exam questions in advance, they would have little hope of passing the provincial examination this time.
Huang Jinquan studied wholeheartedly, and maybe after repeated defeats, he still hoped to be admitted to the Juren Examination after a few more attempts. But Tong Yuan was probably the same as the sixty-year-old scholar who took the examination, and he might not be able to pass the examination in the old capital.
But now it's completely different. The two of them are almost 100% sure that they will pass the exam. They know the test questions in advance and have received special training. If they still fail, they can directly take the exam.
Let's just forget about that piece of tofu and avoid being embarrassed.
Liu Jin's kindness to them was beyond heaven, and he paid his respects without any reluctance.
You must know that there is a huge gap between those who have passed the imperial examination and those who have not. One is a privileged class, and the other is still an ordinary class. There is no comparability in terms of identity and status.
"Get up, get up, don't let any word about this matter come out."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction and then said seriously.
"Yes~"
The two of them nodded solemnly and replied.
"Let's go to the restaurant and have a good meal, and then have a good sleep."
Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction, then took the lead and walked outside.
The three days of the exam were nothing short of arrogant. I couldn’t eat well or sleep well. It was like being in jail. I naturally had to make up for it after I got out.
Liu Jin and his two disciples were eating and drinking heartlessly. On the other side, Wang Hao and other examiners also started the intense work of grading.
Beizhili is at the foot of the emperor, and the provincial examination is a major event held every three years. Emperor Hongzhi attaches great importance to it, so the papers must be reviewed as soon as possible in order to report to the emperor.
Originally, there were several exams for this provincial examination, but because there were so many candidates, more than 3,000 people took the exam, which meant that the examiner had a very heavy workload in grading.
Therefore, according to past inertia, the examiners only read the eight-legged essay, which is the answer sheet to the question asked by Wang Hao. As for the other lessons, they basically read them casually. When time is urgent,
Under the circumstances, I didn't even bother to look at it. This was also the practice of the imperial examination.
A few days later, Wang Hao had read all the examination papers, and several examiners had already decided on the rankings, so he took the list to the palace to report to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty, the results of this North Zhili Township Examination have come out. Your Majesty, please take a look."
Wang Hao respectfully handed a list to Emperor Hongzhi.
"Wang Aiqing, thank you for your hard work. Please give me a seat."
Emperor Hongzhi knew what was going on when he saw Wang Hao coming to him. Before he picked up the list, he asked with a smile: "How did Liu Jin do in the exam?"
What he was most concerned about was Liu Jin's examination situation. Liu Jin did a lot of things for Emperor Hongzhi, and each of them was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, and made him and the prince Zhu Houzhao bulge their pockets.
So he had decided a long time ago that as long as Liu Jin did not do too badly in the exam, he would let Liu Jin win the exam. He would also be named on the gold list in the spring of next year, which would be regarded as a reward for Liu Jin, and of course also for Zhu Houzhao's future team.
end.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jin is indeed a disciple of an expert. The articles he wrote in this exam are magnificent, majestic and talented. I will rank him first in the first class."
Speaking of Liu Jin, Wang Hao couldn't help but admire him. At first, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Jin. He was obviously a scholar, but he went to do business as a merchant, and even took His Royal Highness with him to do it.
Knowing that Liu Jin's master and apprentice would participate in this provincial examination, he naturally paid attention to it early. Who knew that Liu Jin's article was very good, which made him admire it again and again.
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became energetic. He had been in contact with Liu Jin, but he didn't feel much of a literary talent from Liu Jin. He spoke very straightforwardly, and he was able to get first place in the exam.
"Not only Liu Jin, but his two disciples, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan, both did very well in the exams and ranked very high. All three masters and apprentices in one subject passed the exam."
Wang Hao nodded and added.
"Okay, he is indeed a disciple of an expert and has real talent and learning. He did not disappoint me."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said happily and seemed very pleased. He liked the young man Liu Jin very much. Deep down in his heart, he still hoped that Liu Jin was talented and could pass the exam. This would be more in line with Emperor Hongzhi's view of Liu Jin.
Expectations.
Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, Wang Hao didn't say anything. He actually didn't want Liu Jin, a troublemaker, to be elected, because Liu Jin had already brought about such huge changes just outside the court. Once he entered the court,
, who knows what kind of huge changes will come.
"Let's release the list~"
…
Soon, the red list for the Beizhili Township Examination in the 11th year of Hongzhi was posted.
