The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 914 Bullying one with more than one

Tao Dingnian said: "The methods of playing are different in different places. The method of playing in Ning'an County is that one person holds the test paper in front, turns a page in twenty breaths, turns the last page, waits another hundred breaths, and stops answering. In the end, the one with the most correct answers is the first one. name."

Wen Gu said with a smile: "If you answer slowly, old people and scholars may be able to answer them all correctly, but if you answer quickly, no one will get them all right. What's more, there are several very uncommon questions in the annual invitation to the Holy Word, even if they are Old Jinshi and old Hanlin need to think for a long time before answering correctly. If you are not careful, you will get the wrong answer. "

Fang Yun nodded and said, "That's it."

Before coming to Ning'an County, Fang Yun already knew that because Ning'an County is located in a strategic area and is an upper county, it is far from being comparable to Ji County and a lower county.

There were even county magistrates of the sixth or even fifth rank in Ning'an County, so not only were the arrestees from the Jinshi Camp School of the government army, but also the emperor Wen Gu and Deng Xuezheng who were sent to Ning'an County were both Jinshi.

These three people are not only equal to Fang Yun in terms of literary status, but also have a huge advantage in age.

For example, although Tao Dingnian, the county prime minister, was only a civil servant, he was over forty and recited the classics of the saints every day, and his knowledge was very solid. Not to mention ordinary candidates, even Jinshi who are less than 30 years old are almost the same as him in terms of asking for the Holy Word.

Lu Hong, Wen Gu and Deng Xuezheng, the three Jinshi, study the Holy Scriptures every day. If they were allowed to participate in the Tongsheng Examination, they would have a high chance of answering all the Holy Scriptures correctly.

After all, the purpose of the Tong Sheng Examination is to examine Tong Sheng, not these adult Jinshi candidates.

Fang Yun thought for a while and figured out that they didn't dare to compare poetry, but they had a huge advantage in reading compared to Qingyin.

Yu Bachi immediately said: "My lords, you are in a difficult situation. Fang Xusheng was born as a boy only a year ago, but you are all old scholars. The books you have read are several times that of Fang Xusheng. It is really not as good as asking for holy words." Okay, let’s take a poetry test.”

But Shen Ming laughed and said: "Ba Chi's words are wrong. Who is County Magistrate Fang? He is the ancestor of poetry! If we compare poetry with him, wouldn't we be just trying to do the same thing? We can't do it. Furthermore, Magistrate Fang is here In both the Tongsheng Examination and the Scholarship Examination, the Qingshengyan students all got a perfect A. I would like to ask everyone present, who got an A-level in the Qingshengyan Examination back then?”

"No!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Wen Gu said with a smile: "Master Shen's question is redundant. Who doesn't know that before Magistrate Fang, no one in our Jingguo had ever passed the first-class examination of the Holy Word in the Child Health Examination, so people called our Jingguo ' "Unexpectedly, Magistrate Fang came to the world and broke this unprecedented situation. As for the scholar who was invited to the first level of the Holy Word, Magistrate Fang was the first person in history to compete with him."

"That's right..." Everyone agreed.

"Bachi, you are looking down on Magistrate Fang when you say this. His two invitations to the Holy Word were both first-class, and you actually said that we are making things difficult for others? It was Magistrate Fang who made things difficult for us. We won't be embarrassed if we lose. If County Magistrate Fang loses, then it will be a big deal to ask for the title of Holy Word Class A."

"So Magistrate Fang must not lose." Shen Ming smiled, but his eyes were slightly poisonous.

Ao Huang hovered next to Fang Yun, glanced at Shen Ming, and cursed in a low voice: "Bitch!" If it wasn't the most important imperial examination in the human race, he would have cursed loudly.

Yu Bachi hurriedly looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun nodded slightly to express his understanding. The reason why these people dare to provoke is because failure is normal and the cost is almost zero. If they win, they can damage his reputation and may even become a breakthrough to block his imperial examination.

The most important thing is to break the myth of Fang Yun's invincibility!

In the past, there were people who competed with Fang Yun, but they came one by one. Now, there are three middle-aged Jinshi and many middle-aged and elderly people competing together!

As long as anyone beats Fang Yun on any question, it is equivalent to defeating Fang Yun!

Fang Yun already understood that this so-called quick response to the Holy Word must have been planned by the left prime minister and his party.

"It's Ji Zhibai's method again." Ji Zhibai's face flashed in Fang Yun's mind. Whether it was the previous murderous plot against Yang Yuhuan or this embarrassment, it didn't look like it was planned by the idiot Shen Ming. In addition to Ji Zhibai, the fourth-grade Hanlin Gengge is probably one of them. In fact, many officials from the left prime minister's party are joining forces to plot!

A shadow flashed in Fang Yun's eyes. If it was just Chief Secretary Shen Ming, there would be no need to care at all. Even if it was Ji Zhibai alone, he wouldn't need to take too much precaution. But behind Ji Zhibai were hundreds of people from the Left Prime Minister's party. Many officials are scheming people. Once they join forces to scheme, not to mention luck, even Minister of Literature Jiang Hechuan may suffer.

Fang Yun said: "It's just a joke. If you want to play, I will accompany you!"

"County Magistrate Fang is really generous! Come here, set up a screen and ask all the gentlemen to answer your holy words quickly!" Shen Ming said.

So, some officers brought a screen to block the people who wanted to participate in the quick response to the Holy Word. A total of fourteen people were separated, all of them were Jinshi or Juren, and there was no scholar.

Except for Fang Yun, most of the others were smiling.

Shen Ming asked the officer to hold up the test paper and said, "Start!"

The eyes of fourteen people fell on the first page of the test paper.

Fang Yun not only has a photographic memory, but also can read ten lines at a glance. With just one glance, he wrote down all the words on the first page of the test paper, and then lowered his head to write the answers on the white paper.

The first few questions are very simple. They are just fill-in-the-blank questions for future generations, or fill in the names of places, people, or famous quotes. Any child can do it.

Fang Yun not only reads the test papers quickly, but also answers the questions very quickly. The top-grade writing skills are no joke.

In just five breaths, Fang Yun finished answering all the questions, then looked up at the first page of the test paper held by the yamen runner, and found that his memory was correct. He lowered his head again to check the correctness, and checked twice, and twenty breaths passed.

The yamen runner began to turn the second page, and several juren sighed immediately, obviously not finishing the answer.

None of the four jinshi made any sound. For those who have a photographic memory, twenty breaths are enough.

Shen Ming, Yu Bashi and others stood in front to observe. After turning to the third page, many people's faces changed one after another.

Ao Huangyou was a little dissatisfied at first, but soon smiled with Yu Bashi.

Because every time the yamen runner turned the page, Fang Yun would lower his head to answer the questions after only one breath! This shows that Fang Yun can remember the whole page of test questions with just one glance.

Although the other three jinshi had a photographic memory, they could not read ten lines at a glance. It took them five breaths to remember the test questions and then start answering the questions.

As for those juren, they basically answered one question at a time, constantly looking up and down.

Shen Ming and other officials found that Fang Yun not only read the questions quickly, but also answered them quickly. They were a little unhappy, but their expressions soon eased.

When they turned to the seventh page, Ao Huang suddenly rose up, glanced at all the test papers of the fourteen people.

"Little bitch!" Ao Huang couldn't help but curse in a low voice, because he found that most people answered the questions normally, but six candidates were divided into two groups. The three candidates in each group divided a test paper into three parts: left, middle and right. Each person only answered one part, that is, three people answered one paper together!

Because the six people couldn't communicate, it was impossible for them to have such tacit understanding. Obviously, they had prepared before the county exam.
