Before leaving the court, Chen Ke's examination papers were archived and the officials ordered them to be circulated to everyone. In the face of the irrefutable evidence, all the officials were completely convinced and finally believed that some people are born to make others feel inferior.
This level has been overcome, but there is still a more serious test waiting for Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu...
After going to court, in order to return to the government office nearby, some officials went out through Xuande Gate and some through Donghua Gate. Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu both went back through Donghua Gate.
Because Ouyang Xiu rode in a sedan and Wang Anshi walked on two legs, the older one walked in front.
But before the sedan went far from Donghua Gate, a loud shout was heard from the side of the road: "Come out!"
Immediately afterwards, with a roar, his sedan chair was stopped by a group of nobles, who cursed loudly:
"Drunkard, drunkard, you drunken fool, why aren't you drunk to death?!"
"Ouyang Xiu, you are a cruel old bastard. You falsely claim to be the leader of the literary world, but you kill all the talents in the world!"
"You should jump into the Bian River and come back up like a bastard!"
The abuse was like a thunderous wave, attracting countless citizens to come to watch the fun. Seeing more and more people gathered, the unsuccessful candidates became more and more excited. They lifted a scholar up and loudly said: "This is the world-famous genius Liu Ji
Liu Zhidao, a world-famous talent like him, was deposed by a student of Ouyang. And all the relatives of this old man's students were on the list. Everyone commented on whether it was evil or not!
"
The noisy curses became more and more harsh, and the defeated candidates became more and more excited and even tried to dismantle his sedan chair.
Ouyang Xiu's bearers and entourage tried their best to protect the Lord. They blocked the attack of the scholars and were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.
"Stop it!" A shout rang out, which actually suppressed the shouts of hundreds of students: "I am the undergraduate examiner, you have found the wrong person!"
Everyone followed the call and saw Wang Anshi, the examiner of the undergraduate course, appearing behind them. This was the real master, and he was alone without any followers.
"He is Wang Anshi. Depose our executioner!" Everyone immediately changed their target and shouted: "Beat him! Let him learn a lesson!"
On the long street, people were shouting and hundreds of dogs were barking, rushing towards Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi remained motionless, with only a contemptuous sneer on his face.
His appearance made the disciples even more angry, and someone was really going to take action.
"Whoever dares to hit him will be finished for the rest of his life." A loud voice sounded. Sima Guang, with a righteous face, appeared next to Wang Anshi: "Before taking action, you'd better think about it. I have suffered ten years of poverty, and my parents at home.
Wife and children. Then think about the consequences of hitting the examiner outside Donghua Gate."
Seeing that everyone was stagnant, Sima Guang took advantage of the heat and said: "If you fail in this subject, you will have to pass the next subject. At the worst, you will still be awarded the special test. But if you take revenge on the examiner under the imperial city, you will definitely be punished.
If you are sent to the army as an assassin, you will never take part in the imperial examination in this life!"
People who have hope in their hearts are the weakest, because they worry about gains and losses. Sima Guang's words removed the false fire of the disciples. Although they were still clamoring, they just surrounded Wang Anshi and no one dared to take action.
"We just want him to comment. A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands. Whoever wants to beat him will do it."
"But if we don't get justice today, there are officials living in Donghua Gate. Let's go and ask the officials to give us an explanation!" Everyone was shouting.
"When evaluating an essay, you should speak well. If you criticize someone, you don't call it an appraisal. The right way is 'a gentleman has nothing to argue with, and he is a gentleman when he disputes'. You are all people who have read poetry and books, but here you slander the teacher and besiege the examiner, why don't you still have it?"
"Sven" is the word?" Sima Guang said solemnly: "You nominate a representative. Let's discuss it with the examiner. Right and wrong will be judged by the world." Guangguang's words have a characteristic, that is, every sentence makes sense, allowing you to
You can only listen to him.
When the princes heard that it was reasonable, they recommended Liu Ji. Liu Ji was twenty-six years old this year. He lost his parents when he was young, but he was very ambitious. He generously went to the countryside to study under his teacher. After eight years of study, he became a famous person in the country.
In order to prepare for this imperial examination, he came to Bianjing four years ago. He became famous here and was awarded the title of the best talent in the world.
Under the heavy background, everyone, including himself, believed that he was the number one pick this year.
Who would have known that in the end he would lose his reputation to Sun Shan, and his reputation as the number one talented scholar would immediately become a laughing stock. Not to mention the arrogant and arrogant Liu Ji, no one would be able to face him. Coupled with the instigation of people around him, this usually very talented
A decent young man actually appeared among the crowd who came to cause trouble. And he became the leader...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Students dare to ask the examiner," Liu Ji looked at the candidates with sad and angry faces on the long street, took a deep breath and said, "Why do you want to denounce Taixue Ti?"
"Without it, I'll teach you how to speak human language." Wang Anshi said calmly: "Your name is Liu Ji. I know your name and I believe you are indeed talented."
"You are so talented and yet you are deposed!" the crowd shouted angrily. Liu Ji raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet and listen to him.
"But your talent has been greatly weakened by your writing, and it cannot reflect one-tenth of it." Then I heard Wang Anshi say: "You write in Taixue style. Your writing is strange and astringent, and your words cannot convey your meaning. You can't read it into a sentence."
, it is not possible to connect, shun, and cut, let alone show your talent."
"But over the years, the quality of writing in Taixue style has been reflected in the level of talent." Liu Ji said solemnly: "The examiner has rejected Taixue style. Does a certain person have to deny all the top scorers in mathematics?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone applauded. It is said that a great talent has no problem with eloquence.
It was a pity that he met the first war god of the Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi said without even frowning: "I can't control the previous exams, but if I were to take this subject in the second year of Jiayou, as long as I wrote Taixue Style, I would be deposed."
!”
All the examiners gasped, this examiner was really ruthless, and he knocked down all the previous top picks in one fell swoop.
When people are fearless, those carefully designed traps become a joke.
"Let's talk about you Liu Ji. You are obviously very knowledgeable and can use any style of writing with ease. Why do you choose to use Taixue style? You have already explained the reason. It is because the people who used this style of writing before are all in high school." Wang Anshi's eyes were like swords.
As if to pierce Liu Ji's heart, he said: "So the only reason why you wrote Taixue style is to take advantage of it! Rather than really thinking that this style of writing is good."
"A person like you will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages when you become an official. He has no principles and no responsibility. It is useless for the court to recruit a Jinshi like you. He will only get more rice bugs!" Wang Anshi said with a heavy wave of his sleeves.
He said word by word: "No, if, no, take!"
"This is unfair!" Wang Anshi analyzed Liu Ji's thoughts so thoroughly that it was like stripping him naked and showing him to the public. A strong sense of shame came over him, and he shouted angrily: "The sage said, kill without teaching."
This is called cruelty! All the candidates all over the world are studying Taixue style, practicing Taixue style, thinking that Taixue style is the style of examination. But the examiners did not greet us, and took it as a crime and directly dismissed us. Isn't this unfair?
Teaching and then punishing? Isn’t this bad governance?”
"Returning talented students? Wrong choice of words! You said that I killed you without teaching? May I ask you who died under my sword?" Wang Anshi said expressionlessly: "It's just that you failed in this subject, it doesn't mean that you will not be allowed to participate in the next one."
If you pass the imperial examination, this is just teaching you, how can it become a killing?!"
"The next term, to put it lightly, will be a full four years!" the candidates said angrily: "We have several four years in our lives. Who can guarantee that in four years, we, the front waves of the Yangtze River, will be beaten to death by the back waves?
On the beach?”
"First, the talent selection ceremony selects talents who can last a lifetime, not those who will grow old in four years!" Wang Anshi said, clasping his fist behind him and saying: "Second, the officials are benevolent. Before this imperial examination,
It is decided to add one subject in the year after next. In other words, the competition in the next four years will not have one subject, but two subjects. Do you still want to say that the imperial court is not teaching but punishing?"
The anger of the failed candidates, in addition to the disappointment of failing, mainly comes from the fear of the four-year wait. Now I heard that you can take the exam once every two years, just like a traveler who is about to die of thirst in the desert and suddenly walks to an oasis
generally.
"Really?" "Really?" "Isn't it a lie?" Of course, we must first determine whether it is a mirage.
"Yes, I can prove it." Behind Juzi, the sedan curtain slowly opened, and Ouyang Xiu came down. He said seriously: "In front of Donghua Gate, at the feet of the Emperor, do you think we dare to lie?"
Everyone believed it originally, but now they are even more convinced, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"I know you all hate me and Wang Jiefu, but don't hate him, just hate me, because all this is my intention." Ouyang Xiu took over the responsibility and said slowly: "But at the same time, please
Please listen to what I say from the bottom of my heart."
Ouyang Xiu's status in the hearts of scholars has always been very high. It was only because of this revolution that no room was left for the Taixue style that today's achievements were destroyed. In fact, when he went out this morning, his family discovered that someone was there.
An article "Sacrifice to Ouyang Xiuwen" was posted on the door, which actually cursed him to die.
Old Ouyang, who has always been loved by scholars, was very hurt. In addition, his old wounds were exposed by his colleagues in the hospital, so he was in a very sad mood today. But Ouyang Xiu had no regrets. This old fighter with white beard and hair,
As long as you believe that it is the right thing to do, you will do it without hesitation, even if you are bruised and bruised.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ouyang Xiu stood on a pier and looked deeply at the young faces. Then he looked past them and pointed into the distance: "Look."
Everyone looked around, only to see a yellow dog lying in a pool of blood. They turned back and looked at Ouyang Xiu in confusion.
"Just now you suddenly made a noise and startled a pedestrian's horse. The horse ran up and trampled the poor dog to death." Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "You probably thought that I was going to use this to teach some profound truth, but
That's not the case, I just want to tell you how to write an article."
The third update, there is one more update, and the 0-24 hours we agreed yesterday is just a calculation standard. For example, today, according to the standard, I have completed the third update. There is still one more update, and I definitely can't finish it before 24 o'clock, so
No matter what time I post tomorrow, it counts as today.
