Because of the arrival of spring, the entire capital has become more noisy, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
In various poetry gatherings, literary talents from all over the world either climbed high and looked far away, or pointed out the mountains and rivers, inspiring words and deeds to the dust of thousands of households.
Of course, almost everyone's attention is now focused on the comparison between Liu Jin and Tang Yin. Almost everyone knows about Liu Jin and Tang Yin.
For ordinary scholars, it is still unknown whether they can win the Jinshi. However, Liu Jin and Tang Yin are both very confident. They feel that not only can they win the Jinshi, but their ranking must not be low, otherwise they would not use this method.
for comparison content.
Tang Yin even shouted arrogantly that he would win three yuan in a row. He was extremely arrogant and very confident, but it also showed that he was very confident. Liu Jin dared to make such a comparison, so he was obviously quite confident.
Who will win between the two? People here in the capital are almost selectively voting with their feet. There are a large number of people on both sides buying the winner, and some people buy for tens of thousands of taels, or even one hundred thousand taels of silver. They are deeply attracted.
The whole capital's attention.
Both parties seemed to feel a lot of pressure. Liu Jin had been staying at home since Wangyue Tower, concentrating on studying and preparing for the exam. Even Tang Yin, a madman, seemed to feel that he had met his opponent. He was rare in the inn and concentrated on studying.
He and his fellow countryman Xu Jing went around visiting people.
Soon, more than ten days passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the Yiwei Year Examination.
"Let's put the topic~"
In the Gongyuan, following the order from the examiner Li Dongyang, the officers wearing red belts began to walk back and forth in the inspection hall holding plaques.
Huang Jinquan watched carefully, and soon he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He was a little dumbfounded, because his mentor Liu Jin actually succeeded in the test question again.
"There are beautiful jade here~"
"How is this possible, mentor? He failed the exam again!"
Huang Jinquan was extremely shocked. How could his mentor succeed in such a biased test question? He must have known the test questions in advance.
But think about it again, the examiner Li Dongyang and Li Gong are famous for their uprightness, and it is impossible for them to know how to answer questions. Moreover, he has been with his mentor these days, and has been answering questions every day.
I have never seen my mentor go out, and it is impossible to say that he is going to study.
"Teacher, this is so amazing!"
"Isn't it true that everyone knows someone who has lived for five hundred years?"
After thinking about it, Huang Jinquan can only attribute it to this. Historically, Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bowen, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, were both known as outstanding men who could know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in the future. Perhaps the same was true for his mentors.
After a moment of surprise, Huang Jinquan felt secretly happy again. He and Tong Yuan had done this question several times and analyzed it thoroughly.
This is also a perverted question, and it is also a type of cut-off question.
Li Dongyang is full of knowledge and very talented, so his questions are different from those of honest people like Ma Wensheng and Zhou Jing. They are very tricky.
Of course, this is also a trend in question setting, because only tricky questions can show the examiner's knowledge, and it can also make it more difficult for people to bet on the questions.
The question "You Meiyu Yusi" is a pervert among perverts. It is a cut-off question among perverts, and it is very difficult.
As soon as such a question came up, Huang Jinquan knew that he would definitely be on the gold list this time. The more difficult the question, the greater the advantage he and Tong Yuan had, because they had already done it in advance and analyzed it thoroughly.
You can write a good eight-part essay.
Others need to think and conceive slowly. It is too difficult to write a good eight-legged essay within a limited time.
“My mentor’s great kindness and kindness will be hard to repay in this life!”
As for Tong Yuan, he was moved to tears all his life. With his talent, it would have been difficult for him to even pass the provincial examination, let alone be able to take the examination. But at this moment, he knew that he would definitely win the gold medal, pass the Jinshi examination, and shine on the lintel of his family.
The trajectory of life will undergo huge changes.
Being able to be named on the gold list is like a carp passing through the dragon gate. From now on, you will have the opportunity to be at the top of this era.
Liu Jin started to fall asleep after looking at the test questions. Just like the last provincial examination, Liu Jin got up before dawn in order to rush for the exam. He was very sleepy, so he decided to have a good sleep first.
"This Liu Jin can still sleep~"
Opposite Liu Jin, a scholar rushing to take the exam saw Liu Jin sleeping soundly, and he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. In such an exam, he fell asleep immediately after seeing the test questions, which shows that he is full of confidence.
Be confident.
As for myself, although I have a pen in my hand at this time, I don't know where to start. This question is too difficult, and it's almost like it's deliberately used to tease people.
There are too many, too many scholars who have come to take the exam. At this time, their heads are buzzing and blank. They are trying desperately to recall the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, think carefully about the relevant contents, the most critical question, and if they can solve the question.
Wrong, no matter how well written it is, it is useless.
On the other side, Tang Yin was frowning deeply at this time. For him, a great talent from Jiangnan, this question was also very difficult. At this time, he was frowning and didn't know where to start.
Time passed slowly, and the exam was over in a blink of an eye.
At the gate of Gongyuan, the scholars all came out with sad faces, gathered together in twos and threes, and complained to each other that Li Dongyang, a pervert, had come up with such perverted topics.
Everyone discussed with each other, and soon some people couldn't help but burst into tears. They found out in pain that they had solved the wrong question. Three years of time were in vain, and the hard work of coming to the capital to take the exam was in vain.
"Teacher~"
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan came to Liu Jin at the same time. Seeing Liu Jin's sleepy look, they couldn't help shouting from the bottom of their hearts. The year before last, they were gambling on Wangyue Tower and worshiped the cheap master. They didn't expect that they could make him
The two of them were named on the gold medal list. This master is so worth it.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to go back, he saw Tang Bohu, Lun Wenxu, Feng Xi, Liu Long, Sun Xu and others walking towards him.
"Brother Liu~"
"Brother Tang~"
Everyone called each other brothers and sisters, and then started discussing like everyone else.
"Brother Liu, I wonder how you did in the exam?"
Tang Yin's arrogance at this time suddenly disappeared for some reason.
"It's okay~"
Liu Jin said with a smile.
"I'm afraid Brother Liu is going to win this time~"
When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said that he knew very well that he did not do well in the exam this time. The question was too difficult. Although he wrote an eight-legged essay, he was very dissatisfied and felt dissatisfied.
I know I'm going to lose.
"oh?"
"Brother Tang is being humble. We haven't released the results yet and everything is unknown. What's more, there is still the palace examination. We will only know after the palace examination."
Liu Jin looked at Tang Yin's look and immediately said with a smile.
At this time, Tang Yin was a bit like the academic master who failed in the college entrance examination in later generations. When he entered the examination room, he was full of confidence and his goal was Tsinghua University and Peking University. When he left the examination room, he looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Others were slightly surprised when they saw Tang Yin's appearance. This Tang Yin was not crazy before the exam, but now he is also humble. It's really unexpected.
After the test, everyone in the capital fell into anxious waiting.
There are too many people placing bets. Even though the results of the exams are not known yet, with the talents of Tang Yin and Liu Jin, passing the exams should not be a problem. Of course, there may be accidents. After all, there are too many in history.
There are so many famous and talented people who have failed in the examination, but Liu Jin and Tang Yin are nothing.
When it came time for the examination results to be released, the place where the results were released was already crowded with people. There were so many people idle and idle that the place where the results were released was almost crowded.
As expected, both Liu Jin and Tang Yin were on the list, but they were both in the second place, Liu Jin was sixth in the second place, and Tang Yin was 17th in the second place. The first place in the examination was beyond everyone's expectation.
, turned out to be Lun Wenxu from Guangdong. Suddenly, everyone in the capital knew Lun Wenxu's name.
He was able to win the first place in the general examination against all the others, especially when even Liu Jin and Tang Yin did not have high rankings in the examination, he was able to win the first place in the general examination. Suddenly everyone in the capital wanted to know him.
Get this Guangdong geek.
"Three Jinshi in one discipline~"
But soon, everyone discovered another talking point. Liu Jin not only won the Jinshi himself, but two of his disciples also won the Jinshi, and they were all in the second grade.
A third-level Jinshi, and suddenly everyone in the capital couldn't help but exclaim.
How difficult it was to take the examination. He took the exam with three people in his class, and all three of them got Jinshi. Suddenly, countless people couldn't help but change their family, thinking about whether they could become Liu Jin's disciples.
Regarding Liu Jin, everyone couldn't help but marvel again. This master's son is a master's son. Even if he is awesome, he and his two disciples are so good. The three masters and apprentices also took the provincial examination together last year.
A person who has been promoted three times in a family is even more awesome this year. He has become a Jinshi three times in one school, which is enough to become a legend that will be passed down through the ages.
Of course, after everyone discussed it, they began to wait anxiously. According to the comparison agreement between Liu Jin and Tang Yin, the two people were comparing their rankings after the final palace examination. After all, both of them were arrogant and talented people with a wealth of knowledge. If
Just comparing the rankings in the competition, doesn't it seem to be out of place and lack of confidence?
This time, because Cheng Minzheng was imprisoned for the theft of an official warehouse in advance, Tang Yin did not visit his fellow villagers. As for Liu Jin, he stayed at home all the time, so there was no historical vend question.
The imperial examination could then start on time as per the previous time.
