In ancient Earth, Lan Chongwen would have been one of Ye Qing's seat masters and room masters, but this world did not have such rules.
The reason is very simple. In ancient times, there was no such strict operation, and the examiners had a lot of authority, and they could often be dismissed or promoted at a moment's notice. This was the gift of reinvention.
But in this world, all parties have supervision, and there are standards for fortune and talent. The examiners have very little authority in admissions. Everything is done in a public manner, and there is no so-called grace for reinvention.
However, he still wanted to express his gratitude, so Ye Qing bowed and prepared a hundred taels of silver.
This was what he meant, and Lan Chongwen smiled and accepted it. However, Ye Qing's future was immeasurable. Lan Chongwen did not dare to put on airs and immediately ordered his servants to prepare a banquet for him.
Ye Qing was talking about reporting for the state examination, and Lan Chongwen smiled: "This is the order of the law. When you come, just tell me and it will be fine... But it is not easy to win the exam. Recently, scholars have
What articles are there?”
Ye Qing was prepared, took out a volume, and said: "These are the three articles I have written recently. Please give me your advice."
These are not plagiarism, they are his own work. After seven years of practice in the dream, he has mastered all the articles and feels that his literary career has made great progress.
There is only a small gap, and it is difficult to be truly promoted, but this is not a problem of literary career, but a problem of one's own moral career, and cannot be forced.
Lan Chongwen smiled and took Ye Qing's paper. He took a look at it and saw that the writing was dignified, beautiful, round and restrained. His expression turned serious and he sighed: "Your handwriting has improved again."
As he spoke, he looked over carefully.
I saw that these were only three articles, but the words were exquisite and the writing was concise and concise, almost to the extent that there was almost no addition or deletion. The content was pure and dense, and the writing was harmonious.
But it really has a solemn and elegant feeling.
After Lan Chongwen read this text, he didn't even have time to eat the food. He just drank one cup after another with the text. In the blink of an eye, he drank three cups. He read it several times and sighed in his heart.
The Three Classics and Five Classics were written by Taojun, who thought about not only how to govern the country, but also how to govern the entire world. However, even if these classics are published all over the world, how many people can read them?
How much can a scholar know if he doesn't hear what's going on outside the window and concentrates on reading the books of sages?
It can be said that the boy examination only requires basic familiarity with the poems, the scholar must understand the superficial meaning of the classics thoroughly, the candidate must be able to explain the truth he understands, and the Jinshi must lay the foundation of the road.
If you can absorb the principles of the Three Classics and Five Classics and explain them to yourself, your literary spirit will be clear. If you can not only justify your explanations, but also test them in reality, you will be pure.
This kind of requires extraordinary tools and profound knowledge. To achieve this, a scholar must be extremely talented. Therefore, now everything is supplemented by luck to make him see youth. Those who can really achieve it by relying on principles, culture and spirit alone, to put it bluntly.
, they are all talents that the Taoist court welcomes.
But now these three articles can at least achieve the point of self-justification.
Lan Chongwen flipped through the three papers repeatedly, and after a long time he sighed: "You are really as talented as a Jinshi!"
Ye Qing was appointed as a Jinshi by Lord Long. To be honest, Lan Chongwen was a little disapproving just now, but now after reading the article, there is no doubt.
"This boy is only sixteen years old, but he has such talent. I think he has the same talent as a Jinshi."
"In a few more years, when this boy is perfect, he will be admitted to the second rank and become a true Jinshi, and he will live forever. But in this case, the imperial court will lose a talent!"
"But a message is about to be sent to Kyoto to help this son, and he will be promoted to Jinshi."
"No matter how talented this boy is, he is too young. He will not be a real Jinshi this time. If he is a fellow Jinshi, he can stay in the court and add a pillar foundation to the court."
"Moreover, it can also increase the power of our faction!"
Thinking of this, Lan Chongwen became even more enthusiastic, but did not return the paper immediately. He raised his glass and said, "I want to read your article carefully, but can I stay here?"
No matter how prophetic Ye Qing was, he couldn't guess what he was thinking. He immediately smiled and said, "Sir, if you want to watch, how dare you disobey me?"
They feasted and rejoiced immediately, and after an hour, they left.
As soon as Ye Qing retreated, Lan Chongwen, who was already drunk, immediately jumped up. He was still half drunk. He hurried to the secret room and took out a jade card with blue patterns on it. This is for emergency communication and is very precious.
, there are only three jade medals a year.
But there was no regret at this time. He wrote about Ye Qing's past in detail, and put the three volumes together. With just a touch of his hand, the jade tablet turned into a blue bird, and flew out with the letter in his mouth.
, disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
Tong Mansion
At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the night, the guards were tight, and the sound of discussions continued to be heard inside.
"What is this pile of stuff... The summer harvest is just around the corner, and the regulations on grain collection and taxation have not been submitted yet?"
"Grand Master, these are the brochures I just received, and the details are on their way.
"Well...Chengzhou please exempt fishermen from taxes for one year. How come the typhoon has caused so much loss? Huang Zishi got drunk and got confused? All he can do is reach out for relief! Ask him to give it to me... No, you personally send someone to investigate.
It’s clear, I’ll send you an analysis report!”
"Yes, I'll go and handle it now!"
The creaking door let out a ray of light, and a middle-aged official in a yellow robe and crown rushed out. He almost bumped into two maids. He stared at them and was about to scold them. When he calmed down, he saw them holding plates. This was a secret message.
He had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, held up his crown, and ran away in small steps.
The two maids were frightened and secretly looked at the busy people behind the door. The middle-aged man in purple official uniform who was training people at the end did not dare to go in. After a while, they saw a middle-aged man come in: "What are you doing here?
?You know that anyone who snoops on secrets will be beaten to death?"
As he said that, he saw them holding plates in their hands and couldn't help but laugh: "I almost forgot about this. It's up to me. Just step back!"
"Thank you, Mr. Fu Cheng!" The servant girl responded in a low voice, turned around and ran away.
The official was holding a silver plate in his hand, and it was not convenient for him to go in right away. He just stood at the door and watched inside.
"...The peasants are like this. The Ministry of War has gathered together to repair and reorganize the border villages to prevent the small tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty from going south to fight the autumn wind in autumn. This needs to be carefully worked out, and I will submit it to the cabinet for discussion."
After discussing the political affairs, the atmosphere finally changed. After talking for a while, the discussion was settled, and all the officials took their leave and left, leaving only Bachelor Tong alone in deep thought.
At this time, the prime minister came over with a plate and offered it to him: "Madam, seeing that the master was still at work, she made rock sugar bird's nest and white fungus soup. She was afraid that it would get cold, so she didn't serve it immediately. You can use it later - this is what I just used
The secret message sent by someone, the blue bird message, comes from Nancang County."
Academician Tong woke up from his deep thoughts with a wry smile on his face: "I have no choice..."
Since the development of Da Tsai, it has been a cabinet system. Except for the prime minister, everyone else has the title of bachelor. This is the blue and purple position, which is actually the deputy prime minister.
A scholar of the second rank is almost at the top of the civil service, but the chancellor of the university is a civil servant of the eighth rank. He was recommended to the court by a trusted steward. He will be both honored and hurt, because he can say a lot of things in private.
Academician Tong stood up, took the letter, and smiled: "Lan Chongwen? This person knows that he is only in the eighth grade and has always been cautious. Why did he use the blue bird to convey the message?"
Bachelor Tong's name was Tong Shan. He took out the letter and smiled casually at first: "How come even a small scholar treats it as a big deal..."
At this point, he took out the paper, just looked at it, and said nothing for a while. He read it calmly, read it again, remained silent, and then returned to read the Ye Qing file on the letter carefully.
Then he put down the letter, walked slowly for a few steps, and suddenly sighed: "There are so many heroes in the world!"
Tong Shan seemed to be in a conflicted mood. He sighed and suddenly said coldly: "Go and investigate this person named Ye Qing, both internally and externally."
"Yes, I will go and do it immediately!"
"It will take weeks to do it immediately. I won't allow it this time. Tell them to prepare their bags immediately," Tong Shan said, "You are the only one who knows about this. Please read this letter first."
"Yes!" Fu Cheng said nothing. He took the letter and read it. After reading it, he was a little surprised: "Master, this son is a bit extraordinary, but there is no need to be so grand!"
Tong Shan smiled and said: "You have been with me for twenty years and have a lot of experience, but you still don't understand this matter."
After saying that, he stood up, walked slowly, and sneered: "You can't know this. Just know that it's not normal these days. You are spending five thousand taels of silver in the house... No, I will give it to you now. Don't do it."
I collected my account in the house to avoid exposing my whereabouts.
With that said, he took out a silver note from his left boot and said, "This is five thousand taels of silver. You can take it, but I have a word first. Your errand must be done beautifully."
"Yes!" Fu Cheng said nothing more and responded.
Seeing this, Tong Shan withdrew. He was extremely tired, but he didn't want to rest at this time. He took some tea and drank it, watching it several times. At this time, a dull thunder sounded, and then he rubbed his eyes and sat up.
I saw a bolt of lightning illuminating the inside and outside of the room in white, and the bamboo bushes farther away were swaying in the wind...
There was another sudden thunder, which made the house tremble and made Tong Shan tremble all over!
Immediately I left the room, a gust of wind blew in my face, bringing rain with me. A deacon hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Master, it's windy and rainy now, don't catch a cold!"
"Well, it doesn't matter, I'm just taking a walk!" Tong Shan waved his hand and continued to think.
"Dragon Qi mutates. Who in the cabinet dares to neglect it? During this evolution, there will be confusion between fish and dragon. Is this Ye Qing at this time, or is he one of them?"
"But the imperial court originally supervised it, and it seems that the Yu family is suspected of this?"
"No matter what, it is always a good thing to be included in the supervision early, and it may also give the Sixth Prince some strength!"
This world is not a world where everyone is physically equal. Individual power can often influence the general trend. Ye Qing is only a scholar now, but given time, he might be able to shake the general trend!
This is hundreds of thousands of years of experience. Now, as long as you are an important minister, you know it clearly. How can you dare to neglect it?
Thinking of this, Tong Shan looked up at the sky, thunder was rolling, lightning flashed from time to time, but he was thoughtful in his heart, which turned into a sigh: "God's will is unpredictable!"
