The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Hai Rui was actually in a very angry mood tonight. He guessed that Lin Tailai was up to something that caused him to be besieged by women, but on the surface, he had to accept the favor of saving his life.

After all, in the eyes of most people, it was Lin Tailai who rescued Hai Rui from danger and even prevented Hai Qingtian's reputation from being damaged.

In this state of mind, Hai Rui could be forced to tolerate Lin Tailai's "drafting" of the Mid-Autumn Festival poems, but he couldn't hope to get good reviews, especially since Lin Tailai's attitude was quite "provocative".

And Lin Tailai was not ambiguous. After Hai Rui's negative review, he came up with one Mid-Autumn Festival poem after another.

Everyone knows that Hai Rui is a paranoid person and has a stubborn streak when things go wrong, so he gives negative reviews time and time again.

After the bad reviews, there was a new Mid-Autumn Festival poem. Lin Tailai and Hai Rui seemed to be competing with each other and fell into an infinite loop.

Lin Tailai has published ten Mid-Autumn Festival poems, each of which is more than a hundred words long, which is quite time-consuming.

It was approaching midnight, and it seemed that all the celebrities in attendance had become spectators, numbly watching Lin Tailai throw out his works one after another.

This Mid-Autumn Festival night gathering was really nothing to experience.

Whenever Lin Tailai asked Hai Rui, "Can it be done?", Leader Wang seemed to feel that he was asking himself, "Is it okay?"

He regretted why he let Hai Rui board the ship, why he kept Hai Rui as a protector, and why he stopped Hai Rui when he wanted to leave.

After ten consecutive shots, Hai Rui finally gave in and said casually: "This article is acceptable."

The performance of Lin Daguan, the uninvited guest, had just come to an end, but by this time the gathering had already "done its fun" and everyone was not in high spirits.

First, because of the shocking ten consecutive Mid-Autumn Festival poems, which add up to more than a thousand words, no matter how others perform, they can't steal the limelight, so what kind of enthusiasm can they have.

Second, Lin Tailai's ten poems are all above the standard, and they all exceed the quality of the poems prepared by others. How can anyone else have the mood to show off.

So before the third watch, the Mid-Autumn Night gathering ended hastily.

News came out the next day that the old alliance leader Wang fell ill. The other two scheduled literary conferences have also been temporarily cancelled.

So everyone knew that this literary conference would probably end in vain again, and the new fifth son of the retro sect would once again have difficulty in giving birth.

Rumors also say that the leader of the league, Wang Lao, thinks that the new five players currently scheduled cannot compete with Lin Tailai, so he wants to wait for a strong enough rookie to appear.

After Lin Tailai passed through the Mid-Autumn Night, he once again became famous on the Qinhuai River.

After Chang Banqiao resisted the imperial examination, defeated Gu Xiancheng in the Confucius Temple debate, and wrote ten thousand-character Mid-Autumn Festival poems, Lin Tailai was known to everyone on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Many years later, some people may not be able to remember who the winner of this provincial examination was, but they will definitely remember Lin Tailai, a figure who appeared like a meteor on the Qinhuai River.

After both the Donglin Qingliu and the Xiuxiu sects ceased operations, and before the provincial examination results were released at the end of August, no one in the literary world organized large-scale activities, but there were still some moderate news.

For example, Ma Xianglan, the eldest sister in Nanqu and the first among the Twelve Beauties in Jinling, successfully organized the sisters in Quzhong to assemble and resist Hai Qingtian on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Just when Ma Xianglan's prestige in the old Qinhuai Courtyard rose to a new height, she suddenly announced that she would retire behind closed doors and would no longer accept guests in public. This seemed to be the end of a generation of legendary courtesans.

After Lin Tailai heard about it, he ran from the Imperial College room where he was staying for free to Zhao Caiji's house, and proudly said to Zhao Caiji:

"I said that I would make you the number one among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling! Now that I have done what I said, you are already the number one. How should you thank me?"

Zhao Caiji still seemed unhappy, "But you praised Ma Xianglan as the number one singer in the Southern Song Dynasty during the 200th anniversary of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Caiji knew that Lin Tailai was the one who instigated Ma Xianglan to organize the sisters in the business to resist Hai Qingtian's imprisonment on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and Lin Tailai also provided credit endorsement.

Lin Tailai replied: "As the saying goes, times make heroes. If you don't dare to fight, but others dare to fight, what else do you have to complain about?

Besides, she has already retired, so what do you care about? Just ask yourself whether you are now the number one among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, right? "

Aunt Zhao Caiji came and drove away Lin Tailai, who only wanted to be free.

Official Lin couldn't help but sigh, "The birds are all good and the bows are hidden, but the cunning rabbits are dead and the running dogs are cooking." He returned to the Imperial College and continued to sweep the floor.

At the beginning, he said he made a big vow to clean up for thirty-six days, but it has only been more than twenty days. For the sake of personal credibility, he can only continue to persist.

The provincial examination results were released at the end of August. This had nothing to do with Lin Tailai, and he was too lazy to pay attention.

The provincial examination list was hung on the screen wall of Yingtian Mansion Office. Countless people from all over the city came to watch the excitement. There was a sea of ​​people under the list, and it was a scene where some families were happy and others were sad.

The Imperial College is in the north of the city, not too far from Yingtianfu Yamen, which is also in the north of the city.

Therefore, many scholars who did not like crowds sent their servants to look at the results, while they themselves went to the Confucius Temple of the Imperial College to offer their final prayers.

Naturally, Lin Daguan would not let go of this opportunity to increase his presence. He carefully swept the floor back and forth at the entrance of Dacheng Hall to ensure that every scholar who came to offer incense could notice him.

Inadvertently, Lin Tailai saw two acquaintances walking outside the gate of Dacheng Hall, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, a pair of friends from Songjiang Prefecture.

At this time, Dong Qichang was dejected, while Chen Jiru was comforting him.

After all, we have done great things together. Lin Tailai asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Mr. Dong? The list shouldn't have been released yet, right?"

Dong Qichang didn't want to speak, so Chen Jiru answered on his behalf: "Old leader Wang suspected that he leaked information, so he was expelled from the Restore Sect."

It can only be said that this was all his own doing. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Qichang volunteered to follow Lin Tailai ashore on the same boat and rescue Hai Rui in order to show off.

A retro rookie actually acts together with his biggest cultural enemy. This is a mistake!

In fact, after Lin Daguan took Hai Rui away and Dong Qichang was overwhelmed by the Detachment of Women, he lived a very happy life.

But after feeling good, he regretted it. This is a common problem among men. Dong Qichang looked up to the sky and sighed:

"I spent more than a month wandering around in flowers. I didn't study seriously, and I didn't pay attention to the exams. I was expelled from the retro sect. I really wasted my time. It will be difficult for me to move forward in the literary world in the future."

Chen Jiru turned to encourage him and said: "I just want to go back and concentrate on studying, and come back for the exam in three years!"

As long as you can win the exam, nothing will be a problem once you get the fame! "

"Come on! That's all I can think of." Dong Qichang cheered up and said.

At this time, a servant rushed over, threw himself in front of Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru and shouted: "The list is released!"

Then he quickly reported the results: "I saw Mr. Dong's name on the list!"

Chen Jiru asked eagerly: "What about me?"

The servant replied: "No."

This result shocked the pair of friends and they couldn't come to their senses for a long time.

Chen Jiru fell down on the steps in despair, feeling so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry. The greatest discomfort in life is comparison!

I studied hard but failed, but my friend Dong Qichang was eating, drinking, having fun and fooling around every day, so how could he pass the exam?

Dong Qichang didn't dare to celebrate now. He suppressed his joy and squatted down, saying sadly to his friend: "I didn't expect this either."

Then he pointed at Lin Tailai and said to Chen Jiru: "Look at Lin Sheng, whose talent has spread all over Nanjing. Isn't he also unnamed on the list? Is there anything else you can't think of?"

Chen Jiru nodded subconsciously. Even Lin Tailai was not on the list, so what did he have to complain about?

Lin Tai couldn't stand watching anymore and said to Dong Qichang: "I wrote a letter to the tax envoy of the king of Xushuguan. On the way home, you take him to Xushuguan first!"

The king's tax envoy is experienced and must know how to comfort him! "

Lin Tailai, a martial arts student, does not understand the joys and sorrows of the provincial liberal arts examination, but he is about to face his own examination.

The results for the provincial liberal arts examination were released at the end of August, and the provincial examination for martial arts was held immediately after in September.

The scale of the rural examination for martial arts was much smaller than that for liberal arts. Only a few hundred people participated in it, and in the end they got thirty places for martial arts examination candidates.

When martial arts reaches the level of the provincial examination, the system is very formal and not as random and chaotic as the prefectures and counties.

What future generations may not understand well is that martial arts examinations have written examinations, and they are very weighty.

Martial arts students participating in the martial arts examination must first take a policy theory test, and answer a policy and write an essay based on the topic in the essay field.

The admission principle of the martial arts examination is "to determine admission and retention based on policy, and to determine who is superior based on martial arts."

It can only be said that this examination system is too unreasonable and suitable for Lin Tailai. A person who is going to take the liberal arts exam is still afraid of policy analysis?

Although Lin Daguan is not a military major, he has been reviewing the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" in the past few months. Later generations have experienced the influence of Internet information, and he still has a lot of experience in key politics.

For other martial arts students, it would be good if they could write 1,800 words for the two questions, but Lin Daguanren wrote more than 6,000 words for two questions.

With such an absolute order of magnitude difference in the writing field, if the examiner dares to eliminate Lin Daguanren, Lin Daguanren will dare to raise the answer question to complain.

After the strategy test, it was time for Lin Daguan's favorite martial arts test.

For Mr. Lin, there is no fairer exam in the world than this!

In the earliest days of the martial arts examination, only infantry and mounted archery were tested in the martial arts section, which was very disadvantageous to civilian candidates like Lin Tailai.

Later, in order to expand the scope of materials, the martial arts examination was expanded to three items, namely bow and horse, physical strength, and sword and spear.

Candidates have to choose two out of three items to participate. Only those who get first-class in two items will be qualified.

For Lin Tailai, of course, he simply skipped the bow and horse and chose physical strength and swords and guns.

When autumn comes, September 8, Lin Daguan comes to school.

Hundreds of candidates stood under the general stage and accepted the roll call. This kind of martial arts examination is not like a literary test, and there is no need for entrance inspection.

The examiners were all on the general counting stage. Official Lin raised his head and saw Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, who was also the examiner.

Next to Wang Lin was a martial artist. Lin Tailai speculated that he was Li Yangong, the Minister of Defense of Nanjing City and the Marquis of Linhuai, and he was probably the deputy chief examiner or something like that.

Behind Minister Wu Xun, who is suspected of being Li Yangong, is Li Zongcheng, whom Lin Tailai had met when he first arrived in Nanjing.

At this moment, Li Zongcheng also saw Lin Tailai and couldn't help but glared at him, but Lin Daguan didn't care at all.

It would be a big joke if your little brat could fool you in the martial arts exam.

Today's physical strength, tomorrow's swords and guns, these are all events Lin Tailai participates in.

After the names were called, sergeants carried two sets of stone piers to the generals' platform.

The weights are all unified across the world, namely two hundred catties, two hundred fifty catties, three hundred catties, and there is also a five hundred catty as a decoration.

When the other martial arts students were fighting with two to three hundred kilograms of stone piers, Lin Tailai, whose name was called, stepped forward, directly selected the five hundred kilograms of stone piers, and lifted the stone pier between his waist and abdomen according to the prescribed movements.

Under hundreds of horrified looks, the first place in the physical strength event was easily won. The unique stone pier of 500 kilograms cannot be blackened even if you want to.

After coming out of the school grounds, Lin Tailai rushed back to the Imperial College without stopping.

Why did Lin Daguan stay in the Imperial College for food and accommodation as the exam was approaching? It was to prevent off-site tricks.

Although the conditions inside the Imperial College are average, they are still safer than inns and hook-up places outside.

Lin Tailai didn't know if anyone was targeting him, but at least he felt more at ease living in the Imperial College.

If Zhao Zhigao hadn't firmly opposed it, Lin Tailai would have wanted to build a floor in Dacheng Hall.

The next day, it was still the same school, and the sword and gun test began.

Li Yangong, the Minister of Defense of Nanjing and Marquis of Linhuai, said to Wang Lin, the Minister of War in Nanjing:

"I heard that Lin Tailai is all about the literary world. Giving him martial arts fame is a waste."

As he was talking, Lin Tailai, who happened to be called by name, held a big gun, casually made a gun flower on his arm, and then loudly reported to the generals on the stage:

"So that everyone knows that my marksmanship was passed down from Qi Shaobao personally, and the powerful water gun used by Qi Shaobao was also given to me as a gift!

At that time, Qi Shaobao said that if he was familiar with this set of marksmanship and could read the Seven Classics of Martial Arts, it would not be a problem to win a Jie Yuan! "

Everyone: "."

Just like yesterday, hundreds of eyes were staring at Lin Tailai.

Who says it’s hard to cheat on martial arts exams? It's pure cheating for you to report the origin of your marksmanship like this! He even openly asked for Jieyuan!

As the examiner, Wang Lin said helplessly to Li Yangong: "This department would like to ask the prince, how can you depose him? It's so shady."

A candidate who can write 6,000 Chinese words, is strong enough to pull out 500 kilograms of stone pillars, and whose marksmanship was passed down from Qi Jiguang.

Before the exam, a candidate had publicly performed a martial arts feat that could defeat a thousand people, and he had penetrated the north bank of the Qinhuai River from the Procuratorate, and was unable to be stopped by hundreds of officers and soldiers.

To be honest, if you don’t give Wu Ke Jieyuan, you will be scolded as a shady person. How can you be eliminated?

It's not like Lin Tailai couldn't contact the boss behind his back. If he was so easy to hack, Wang Shizhen would have taken action long ago. How could he still let him run around until now?

Even if you want to do black box operations, you must abide by basic logic. If you do black box work regardless of the impact, you will definitely be involved in it and die together.

After the exam, Lin Tailai's biggest feeling was that it would be great if the liberal arts exam could be as simple and fair as the martial arts exam.

The rural examination for martial arts is small in scale, and you don’t have to read tens of thousands of papers, so the results come out quickly.

Therefore, the results were released within two days. Thirty candidates from Nanzhili Township were admitted to the Zhongwu Judi Examination. The Jieyuan was Lin Tailai, a civilian martial arts student from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture.

He ranks first in strategy and theory in the literary field, first in physical strength, and first in sword and gun sports in the martial arts field, so this Jieyuan is well-deserved.

Lin Daguanren suddenly became a martial arts scholar, and the title of Daguanren became even more worthy of the name.

At this time, many people who had only recently heard the legend of Lin Tailai were awakening from their dreams.

It turns out that Suzhou Linsheng, who punched the Donglin school of academics and kicked the retro school of literary circles, came to Nanjing to take the martial arts examination!

The trip to Nanjing is coming to an end, please give me a final monthly ticket to stimulate the brewing of new plots!
