Great Blue Night Watchman

One poem, one policy, one comment, not to mention poems and holy words, he has always been at a medium level and very stable. Where are the words? He should be above average, because he has been mentored by his third brother for a long time, and he is unique in the field of Ci.

The highlight of the palace examination, the Shengyan Notes, gave him a big surprise, because more than 80% of them were among the thirteen notes written by his third brother, and he had already memorized them by heart. But the policy theory was beyond his expectation. He originally had twenty classic policy theories written by his third brother as a foundation, and he was quite confident about the policy theory. But this time he encountered a roadblock because the topic was too difficult, extremely difficult.

A strategy to save the country, just kidding!

You want a bunch of scholars to talk about saving the country? Who has such great ability? Even if Lu Tian, ​​the prime minister of the current dynasty, was pulled over and asked to answer the question, he would probably lose a few beards and still not be able to answer.

Although the topic was a trap, Lin Jialiang did not give up. He integrated twenty of his third brother's policies into one to comprehensively improve the politics, economy, agriculture, and military of the ancient Huating country. The final result was: as long as the whole country , reforming all aspects together, even if it cannot truly save the country, it can still give the ancient country of Huating a glimmer of opportunity.

Ten out of ten people will answer this question like this. The key lies in whether the measures you propose are operational and whether they are truly effective. In Lin Su's twenty policy papers, there are many brilliant ideas. He cleverly integrated four ideas. , I hope the temple graders can find the value of these ideas, right? We can only hope.

He walked out of the examination room and bumped into someone, Zhang Haoran.

Zhang Haoran's face was extremely serious. It could even be said that the charming and charming Master Haoran, who was known all over the world, was quite out of his mind today with extremely rare anger and depression.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong? I passed the exam..."

Zhang Haoran raised his hand to interrupt him, but Zhang Haoran himself didn't speak, as if he didn't know where to start.

Someone from the periphery spoke first: "Lin Jialiang, do you know where the third most brilliant brother of your family is now?"

Lin Jialiang stared at the person who spoke, and his expression changed, Zhang Hong!

How could it be him?

He mentioned the third brother...

Lin Jialiang's head suddenly jumped: "My third brother... where is he?"

He cast his eyes towards the examination room where his third brother was, but saw no familiar figure, and his heart suddenly became confused.

"Haha, I'll give you a piece of news for free. Just two hours after the scientific examination, your third brother has been expelled from the examination room!"

Lin Jialiang shouted: "Fart!"

With a shout, a folding fan opened, and it was Zhao Yuanxiong. Zhao Yuanxiong smiled faintly: "Brother Lin, it seems that you can't accept the fact that your third brother was expelled from the examination room. So, can you accept Brother Zhang standing in the examination room again?"

Lin Jialiang's face was uncertain, and his eyes slowly moved towards Zhang Haoran.

Zhang Haoran let out a long breath: "The Holy Family took action and pardoned Zhang Hong's literary promise with an exemption order. In addition... the third young master did leave the examination room more than two hours after the exam started."

Lin Jialiang's whole body was shaken, and the world was spinning...

Two hands stretched out from behind and grabbed Lin Jialiang, one was Huo Qi and the other was Li Yangxin. Qiu Mochi and Zeng Shigui stood on both sides of him, their faces all gloomy.

"Brother Lin, the matter has come to this. It is useless to think too much. The third young master is so talented that he will not... be drowned."

"Exactly!" A loud voice came: "How can the holy way be so clear, how can it be dark forever? I firmly believe that the third young master can finally step out of the haze and face the eternal blue sky!"

But it was Youzhou Li Xiaotian.

Zhao Yuanxiong stared at Li Xiaotian and said coldly: "Brother Li, are you saying that today's scientific examination will be dark?"

This is a digger. As long as you dare to rebuke today's scientific examination, you are disobeying the temple. Who can bear the punishment imposed by the temple?

Li Xiaotian didn't jump into his trap, and instead said something else: "Who is your brother? Zhao Yuanxiong, are you worthy?"

Zhao Yuanxiong's face suddenly darkened. He was a master of the Jingfu Examination, and his skills in this aspect were the best in the world. Who dared to look down upon him like this?

Li Xiaotian stared at him and said: "Zhao Yuanxiong, Zhang Hong, you think you are among the top ten in the Beijing Examination, and you probably look down on Huiyuan from other states. Do you dare to compete with me?"

"Compared to what?" Zhao Yuanxiong certainly couldn't admit defeat.

"It's better than our undergraduate college entrance examination results!"

Everyone was shocked, pumped, and excited.

"What if you win? What if you lose?"

"If you are in front of me, I will cut off your head and commit suicide. If you are in line behind me, you will smash your literary mountain and quit the literary world!"

Everyone was silent...

Looking at each other...

What's going on here? What are these three top masters so crazy about? Betting on life and death for no reason?

Zhao Yuanxiong smiled: "Li Xiaotian, are you stimulated by Lin Su? Do you want to use this crazy way to avenge him? The results of our scientific examination will be revealed soon. We, the sons of two great officials, shoulder the responsibility of the family I have the heavy responsibility of inheriting and risk my life with you for no reason? Are you worthy of a poor family?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Hong said with a smile: "There must be equal status in gambling. All the members of this family named Li have been killed. I don't want to live for a long time. My bet with you will actually help you!"

Lin Jialiang raised his eyes and stared at Li Xiaotian, his chest rising and falling gently.

At this moment, he understood Li Xiaotian. Li Xiaotian's whole family, old and young, were killed by the Osumi cavalry. He hated the Lord Harmony faction in the court, and Zhang and Zhao were the representatives of the Lord Harmony faction.

Today, they conspired to kill Lin Su, which touched the biggest pain in Li Xiaotian's heart and aroused Li Xiaotian's anger. Li Xiaotian really wanted to risk his life with them.

The palace examination is different from the general examination.

After the palace examination, there is still a process of selecting scholars. The list of one thousand candidates for Jinshi has been sent to the palace as soon as possible. His Majesty the Emperor will personally select 360 candidates.

The first person to get the list was Zhang Juzheng, a privilege possessed by the Wenyuan Pavilion bachelor.

After receiving the list, Zhang Juzheng could not open it. He carried it with both hands and came to Wuying Hall. His Majesty and the ministers were all waiting here, waiting for the arrival of the list.

Today is the triennial ceremony, and no one wants to miss it.

Several old and frail ministers all came, and even those who had retired from official positions, as long as they still had their life official cards, all came.

What is the official card? It is a standard feature for court officials. Under normal circumstances, those who naturally retire from office will still retain it. You do not need to go to court, but you can still attend major national celebrations. Of course, if an official commits a crime, he or she will be deprived of his official license.

Qu Wendong also came.

Although he lost his temper at home and smashed several tables, when he appeared in the court, he still had a smile on his face.

He was really suffering in his heart, because there were four people he needed to pay attention to in this scientific examination, one was Qu Jin, the other was Qu Zhe, the third was Qu Wu, and the fourth was Lin Jialiang.

Without Lin Su, the Qu family needs to protect themselves. A great scholar is a strength. If there are two great scholars among these four, the Qu family can be temporarily safe. If there is only one, it will be very difficult. If there is no one, it will be very difficult. , that would really be a disaster.

It was about the life and death of the entire family, how could Qu Wendong not be cautious?

"Report to Your Majesty!" Zhang Juzheng held the book filled with holy light in both hands and bowed: "The palace examination has been completed. After being delineated by the temple, the following thousand people are candidates for Jinshi, and your Majesty will choose 360 ​​people."

"Submit!" His Majesty spat out one word.

"The holy way is clear, the literary way is brilliant, and by the holy order, the list of candidates for Jinshi is opened!"

A ray of light shot towards the holy book in Zhang Juzheng's hand. The holy book slowly opened. Thousands of holy lights filled the hall. The holy book flew high and names flowed out in the air...

Everyone's eyes were wide open and they didn't dare to blink.

This is the list of Jinke Da Cang Jinshi. Only His Majesty can choose from this list. If you are selected, it means being named on the gold list, which is equivalent to being a great Confucian...

All the ministers in the palace were nervous.

Generally speaking, as a rule, as long as the court officials in this palace and their direct children are on the list, His Majesty will give them a favor. In other words, the children of court officials will naturally have an extra guarantee, but their children will also You have to fight for this reputation and be on this list.

Qu Wendong stared at the roster and muttered something...

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly lit up, Qu Zhe!

Zhe'er is on the list! It’s on the list!

Where is Jin'er? Jin'er's knowledge far surpassed that of Zhe'er. Zhe'er was on the list, so Jin'er should be ahead of him. He took a quick look and saw that there wasn't one in front of him! What about behind? Not even behind! In the entire roster, there is only one person named Qu, Qu Zhe, ranked 536th.

Only one person is not enough!

Could Qu Jin be a holy scholar?

It's impossible. Although Jin'er once ranked tenth in the imperial examination, and his status was equivalent to that of Huiyuan in another state, the score cannot be calculated that way. The Qu family's Shengyan Zhu has always been a shortcoming, and it is impossible for him to perform well in the palace examination. So good, could it be that he failed? How can it be? Qu Zhe is already on the list, how could he be worse than Qu Zhe?

Suddenly, Qu Wendong's heart was full of question marks.

If Qu Zhe in this roster was replaced by Qu Jin, he might not have any doubts, but now, he really has doubts.

Wait, there’s another person!

Lin Jialiang!

His grandson-in-law...

He searched again, nothing!

There is only one person in today’s scientific examination! But it was Qu Zhe, whom he had not been optimistic about at all before...

Song Du next to him looked very excited. His son Song Yuzhu was on the list and ranked quite high, ranking 129th.

"Mr. Qu Ge, congratulations to your family Qu Zhe for being on the list."

Qu Wendong's skin twitched to indicate receipt.

Song Du smiled faintly: "It's a pity that the Lin family still cannot afford this eternal glory."

Qu Wendong turned his face to one side and did not hear.

Suddenly, he saw Zhang Wenyuan. Zhang Wenyuan’s face was twitching. This was not an expression of excitement...

Qu Wendong's eyes fell on the roster again. Looking from top to bottom, Qu Wendong was also filled with something called excitement. The second person on the roster: Zhang Hong!

Ha ha……

Qu Wendong almost laughed, Zhang Hong is on this list!

Most people will definitely jump with joy when they see their children's names on the list and ranked first or second, but Zhang Wenyuan is like a dog, because Zhang Hong's mission is not to be on this list at all, and it is best if his name does not appear. Yes, appearing on this list means that he is not a Holy Scholar!

Without becoming a Holy Scholar, the marriage between the Zhang family and the Holy family will not be possible!

On the day of the exam, at the last moment, Zhang Wenyuan invited the Holy Family to come forward, took out the Holy Path Exemption Order, and tried his best to send Zhang Hong to the examination room. The final result was still not a Holy Scholar. Zhang Wenyuan didn't know how to face the Saint. Family members...

Will the young man from the Holy Family scold him: pig intestines that cannot be lifted?

His face turned green and red, and he could hardly stand.

A voice came to my ears: "Master Zhang, congratulations. Your son is ranked second in high school. It's really gratifying!"

Zhang Wenyuan slowly turned sideways and looked at Qu Wendong: "My son is really not up to par, how can he be as good as your beloved son-in-law? Well... where is your beloved son-in-law? I am old and blind, why can't I find him?"

Qu Wendong's face darkened.

Zhang Wenyuan sighed: "Mr. Qu Ge, it seems that the tradition of the Qu family has not been lost. In the future, nephew Qu Zhe will have to bear a heavy burden on his own. Hey, don't break it. "

When His Majesty the Emperor touches a name with his signature, someone will always let out a long sigh of relief.

The more names he clicked on, the more nervous Qu Wendong stared at the emperor's pen tip. When the emperor clicked more than three hundred, Qu Wendong almost stopped breathing because the emperor's pen never landed on Qu Zhe. On the name.

Three hundred and twenty-nine, three hundred and thirty...three hundred and forty-one...three hundred and fifty-seven, three hundred and fifty-nine...

Boo! Qu Wendong knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty!"

"Qu Aiqing..." His Majesty's golden pen trembled slightly, and without any coincidence, he crossed the golden list and clicked on a name called Sun Yuzhu.

Qu Wendong's whole body stiffened.

Finished!

Qu Zhe missed it!

His Majesty raised his eyes and said: "...Does Aiqing have your own skills?"

Qu Wendong's lips trembled and he couldn't say a word...

"Could it be that you also have a son on the list? Do you want me to point out a few? There is no need to give such a big gift. It is a common practice for courtiers of the Golden Palace to give priority to those who are on the same list. I will point out... which one?"

Before he finished speaking, the golden book suddenly rolled up and disappeared into the void.

His Majesty was shocked. Is this all done?

His eyes moved to Qu Wendong: "Qu Aiqing, do you really have a child on the list but you didn't click on it?"

Qu Wendong said blankly: "No. 536, Qu Zhe, is my grandson."

"Hey! My dear, you should have told me earlier!" His Majesty was infinitely annoyed: "I pay more attention to the people before the five hundred and pay less attention to the people after the five hundred... The matter has come to this, and there is no use in regretting it. Qu Ai Qing, I will give you a A yellow mantle, and ten bags of gold beads..."

Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!

Qu Wendong kowtowed and walked out of Wuying Hall, feeling lost.

He naturally knew that His Majesty had no intention of attacking anyone from the Qu family. His Majesty was determined to destroy the Qu family. How could he allow the Qu family to add a great scholar to become a new variable?

What's missing, what's late, they're all excuses!

The Qu family's crisis will come earlier than expected, and the storm will be stronger than expected. This is all the feeling that Jinshi Dian Jinshi brought to Qu Wendong today.

The golden bell rang seven, and the direction of Gongyuan brightened. A green light seemed to come from the ground, and a huge green billet rose from the ground. There was no vibration, but there was a rumbling sound, like thunder in the sky.

In front of the gate of Gongyuan, a golden boat fluttered its wings, and I boarded it to go to the Confucian Temple.

In the rental house, Lin Su stood up and said, "I have to go too."

"Mr. sir!" Luyi gave him a deep hug: "No matter what the outcome is, remember, we are here waiting for you!"

"Kiss me!" Lin Su held up Lu Yi's face and gave her a kiss. He picked up Sister Chen and gave her a kiss as well. He turned around to hug An Ye, but the hug was empty. An Ye had already flown away, and the voice came from above. Came: "Do you think I'm as unprincipled as them? Let's talk about it after getting hit..."

Lin Su gave her a fierce look: "When I come back, I will take care of you tonight!"

He went...
