Gong Jian was still listening helplessly, and had to listen to the corner where he was forced to listen. At first, he did not stand up immediately, but now he can only listen obediently.
The person who started to speak was obviously in a very low mood, but he still insisted on persuading: "Brother, what else can we do otherwise? How can people like us compete with those people? Brothers like us can't compete with those people.
All I can do is work harder and see if I can perform beyond my level, just in case I get on the list. Anyway, besides these people, aren't there still some places on the list?"
The second person was obviously even more depressed, "Well, speaking of this, there may be hope for eldest brother, but brother, I feel that my knowledge is not even as good as that of eldest brother. I guess this trip was in vain. Originally, I came here
When I was there, I still had some confidence, but after my brother reminded me, if those people were half as many as they were, I would feel that I was very reluctant. If they were all on the list, I would be dead."
Obviously, when it came to the exam, these two people were not sure. So when it came to this point, the two people who just spoke stopped discussing it.
And Gong Jian had already left that secluded place at this time. He really felt a little embarrassed. It was really not that he wanted to eavesdrop on anything. In fact, he was just at the cultural meeting and felt that it was too much.
I was feeling depressed, so I wanted to find a quiet place to get some fresh air, but who would have thought that I would find it by such a coincidence. These two people actually also fell in love with this secluded place. Besides, if they said it was so secluded, they didn't know to take a look first.
Is there anyone?
At that time, Gong Jian did not take these words to heart. After all, in his view, obtaining the title of Juren was not a difficult matter. Moreover, the exams were all over, so there was no point in talking about it. Now he should do it
The main thing is to wait patiently for the rankings to come out and see the results. Of course, now we also need to add the matter of trying to contact other students.
In fact, Gong Jian forgot what those two people said after listening to it, but he only remembered such a thing after listening to the words of the person just now. Looking at the obvious names on the red list, he now of course realized,
It's exactly what those two people said.
After this list came out, there was indeed something unusual. If the person in third place still had some literary talent, it was obvious to everyone. Although because of everyone's praise, he probably really thought he had the talent of being number one. But no matter what
, at least it looks passable. But no one knows the specific level of the second place player.
At least the third place is still willing to participate in cultural gatherings and will show off his knowledge and talents whenever he finds an opportunity. However, the second place is never willing to participate in cultural gatherings. This is exactly the same as the third place.
on the contrary.
It’s not that the second-place student thinks he’s aloof and doesn’t bother to attend these literati gatherings. In fact, well-informed people have said that some rich kids have mentioned that they seem to be in places like ** liquor stores.
I met that student who was ranked second.
And it is said that by listening to the tone and words of those people's stories, you can tell that it seems that this student is not famous for his knowledge, but for his level of pleasure-seeking.
Such a person with a good reputation can be directly on the red list, and he is still ranked second or third. In such a conspicuous position, if Gong Jian still thinks that this examination is fair and just, then he should not participate in future imperial examinations.
.This is basically blatant and aboveboard cheating in the examination room.
Thinking that when he heard the two people talking before, they mentioned that there were more than ten people who would occupy the candidates' quota, Gong Jian quickly continued to look down at the lists on the red list. Among those names, there were indeed some names.
He had heard someone mention that he had a certain profound background. However, no one could confirm how many people there were in total.
Even if I have been reminded in my mind, the imperial examination is inseparable from fraud. After all, the imperial examination is also presided over by people, so the people who grade the papers are also people. And how can there be absolute justice and fairness where there are people?
?
Thinking of this, Gong Jian couldn't help but shake his head. No matter what, he should stay as far away from this kind of imperial examination fraud as possible. After all, no matter which direction this matter develops, it will have no impact on him.
If the examiners overcame the unsuccessful students, of course Gong Jian thinks this possibility is relatively high. After all, it has become an unspoken rule that officials have protected each other since ancient times. But think about it, if the officials don't help themselves, why should they?
Do you help those who are against you?
Anyone who is an official hopes that if one day he is in danger, then fellow officials can give him a hand and help him. So even if it is just to leave a way out for himself, those officials will
It is naturally clear how to choose.
The thing is like this, it's like an endless cycle. The officialdom has not changed since ancient times. Therefore, it is very difficult for ordinary people to bring down officials. People who sue officials have to be punished since ancient times.
, not to mention this kind of imperial examination fraud.
After all, the imperial examination is a major matter for a person's future. Even if those who become officials have already passed the examination, it is inevitable that their families still have descendants, relatives, etc., and all kinds of relationships. These people are not from the imperial examination.
When someone pops out of a stone, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of relatives and friends. Whenever relationships are used, a large group of people can be pulled out by just pulling them out.
This kind of thing is definitely inevitable. No matter who is the examiner, it is difficult to avoid this kind of human interaction. Gong Jian boldly guessed that maybe even if the emperor personally serves as the examiner, then someone from his own royal family will be involved.
It is inevitable that there will be such favors in his place.
Therefore, Gong Jian is very dissatisfied with those students who have landed. Even if they can unite many more people, what kind of trouble can they make under the absolute power. And now, Gong Jian has been listed on the list, and indeed
It is indeed a meritorious achievement. He has already achieved his goal, so there is no need to worry.
And if things really took a huge turn, or a meteorite fell from the sky, and those failed candidates actually defeated the examiner, then the worst case scenario would be to take the exam again. With his own level, Gong Jian didn't believe it.
If you take the exam again, even if it still cannot be completely fair, your ranking will definitely not be further behind than your current ranking.
So no matter how he thinks about it, Gong Jian feels that this matter has nothing to do with him. (To be continued)
