Chapter 41 Why am I caught between powerful officials and traitorous disciples?
Standing in front, Tong Zhisheng looked around like a black bear spirit among a group of sheep.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice not far behind me. When I turned my head, I saw Cai Laoliu and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Who is Sa Jia Dang? It turns out to be Cai Laoliu..."
Upon hearing this title, everyone turned their heads and looked this way.
Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel happy. "No wonder I think this title is easy to pronounce. It turns out that others also call you Cai Laoliu."
Cai Yao, whose face was so dark that he almost caught up with the bottom of the pot, immediately became hairy.
"Anyone with the surname Tong, please don't call me Cai Liulang."
The tall and burly Tong Zhisheng, with thick eyebrows and angry eyebrows, grinned and walked over. Although he was tall and powerful, his face was green.
There are even pimples, well, they are acne, which shows that this boy is smarter than his age. No wonder he can also take part in the special test.
Seeing that Tong Zhisheng, a rough old man, was about to speak, Cai Laoliu quickly asked a question to prevent Tong Zhisheng from continuing to get entangled with this issue.
As soon as these words came out, the candidate who had been giggling a moment ago immediately became intimidated. Even if he felt dissatisfied, he could only suppress it. After all, this was Gongyuan, not his father's government office.
Tong Zhisheng tilted his head and saw Cai Laoliu's face turning green and white, looking extremely angry, but he didn't dare to deny it.
I always feel that why I am caught between the powerful officials and the traitorous disciples. Is this the malicious intention of the three officials, implying that my own father is not a good bird?
At this moment, the first candidate had been called in front of the three examiners and began to recite "The Thousand-Character Essay".
After all, Tong Zhisheng, who doesn't look very smart at first glance, is also the one he strives for.
If these two uneducated rookies had accompanied him to participate in the Jinshi examination, Gao Zhang felt that he would definitely become the crane that stood proudly among the chickens.
There are ten people in each group, and three officials are responsible for each group. Gao Zhang happens to have Tong Zhisheng in front of him and Cai Laoliu behind him.
Soon, the ranking of the teams came out, and Gao Zhang magically discovered it.
"Dear candidates, in order to avoid cheating, you are not taking the exam. Your queues need to be rearranged..."
At this time, a voice came from behind urging him to go to Gongyuan.
It’s not like we want to laugh at each other, right junior brother?”
"This big brother, I am Cai Laoliu's senior brother Gao Zhang."
"I didn't memorize it all, but at least I memorized some of it."
Just as they entered the Gongyuan, an official ran over quickly and led them deep into the Gongyuan.
"You are Cai Laoliu's senior brother?!"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, just ask him."
For the son of a powerful eunuch and a traitor, this was definitely a good thing, but Gao Zhang, who had a very moral bottom line, had some problems in his heart.
After returning to the table and muttering, the three heads gathered there and started muttering furtively.
"Hahaha... this little brother is not bad, he has good eyesight. I wonder who this little brother is..."
"Yes, I also think calling him Cai Laoliu suits his temperament very well."
Turning around suddenly, he saw Tong Zhisheng in front of him, who was unconscious, and Cai Laoliu behind him, who had a confused face.
The three of them rushed over hand in hand. Tong Zhisheng first took out the floating ticket and handed it to the inspection official, and then walked into the Gongyuan with his head held high under the watch of the official with a sly look on his face.
"Some more..." Cai Laoliu tilted his lips, remembering what he had said to his father, Cai Jing.
Gao Zhang subconsciously twisted his mouth. These two guys are really sleeping dragons and phoenixes. They must not know the sinister intentions of those examiners, ah no...
Three others were given a failing grade because they stuttered in their recitation or even forgot sentences.
The final queue was composed of other candidates, followed by myself with Tong Zhisheng in front and Cai Laoliu behind.
"Is this necessary? Just fail the test. If you can memorize it, you can do it. If you can't memorize it, you can't."
Tong Zhisheng then snorted and coughed dryly, seeming slightly embarrassed.
Among the seven candidates in the front row, four of them can pass the test if they can recite the entire Thousand Character Essay.
Under the watchful eyes of guards on both sides of the Gongyuan, we entered this important place in the hearts of scholars of the Song Dynasty.
Gao Zhang almost laughed out loud when he heard that monks were not using lies in such a way.
Tong Zhisheng was overjoyed when he heard that someone actually agreed with his idea.
In an instant, Tongzhi's eyes bulged as fast as those of the cow, and he shouted in disbelief.
Facing Tong Zhisheng who likes to get into trouble whenever he disagrees, Cai Laoliu, although he is strong-willed, still feels that there is no need to hurt his face because of any flaws in his words, so he hastily smiles to please him.
The ten officials' sons who were preparing to take the examination were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Tong Zhisheng glanced at Cai Laoliu with contempt. "Of course, Sa has practiced it anyway, so he can memorize it naturally."
It must be said that these three examiners with very serious expressions put a lot of pressure on the candidates.
"I really don't mean that. I just want to ask Brother Tong how much you have carried."
After hearing this, I saw the official's face turned serious.
"Brother Tong, can you also memorize "The Thousand-Character Classic"?"
Soon, Gao Zhang also took out the float and handed it to the inspection official. After the official inspected it, it was returned to him.
"You two don't have to be like this, we are all acquaintances and we just care about each other.
If this candidate is not convinced, then you will leave Gongyuan."
Seeing such a queue, Gao Zhang couldn't help but take a breath. Damn it! This girl is like a shady person in the examination room.
"Can you memorize it?" Cai Laoliu asked with a face full of disbelief. After all, he can barely recite Neng Pian now.
However, seeing this guy's attitude of trying to convince others if he disagreed with him, Gao Zhang quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
"What? Monks don't lie. If the Sa family says they can memorize it, they will definitely memorize it. Don't you believe it?!"
He didn't believe that Tong Zhisheng, who looked like a vulgar martial artist at first glance, could complete the novel.
Several candidates who were originally ranked behind him and Cai Laoliu were moved to the front.
Although he despised the treacherous minister Quan Huan of the Song Dynasty, hearing the words of this Quan Huan's stepson made Gao Zhang feel like he had a close confidant.
Looking at Tong Zhisheng, who was as strong as a black bear spirit, Gao Zhang was not coquettish and answered directly.
"This is Gongyuan. As examiners, I and others have the final say on the rules.
As a result, he was beaten severely by his own father's magic ruler. From the day of the beating, his big ass had almost no days to rest.
"Liu Lang, aren't you the sixth oldest? Is it wrong to call you Cai Laoliu?"
After more than ten breaths passed, another official stood up with a serious expression.
As soon as these words were spoken, some candidates couldn't help but murmur.
Tong Zhisheng suddenly became unhappy when he saw Cai Laoliu's obviously suspicious eyes.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites took the tickets from this group of ten people and looked at them one by one with a very serious expression.
Watching those who passed rejoice and those who failed leaving in tears.
Finally it was the turn of Quan Huan, the traitorous prime minister, and Gao Zhang. The candidate who had finished the exam before him staggered out of the exam area.
Gao Zhang noticed that the three examiners in front of him had very serious expressions.
They all showed kind and friendly smiles, which made the three candidates shudder in unison.
