The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 266
Ge Yun walked out of the palace gate, held hands with his classmates, and walked back without saying a word.
Unlike other test takers who will communicate with others, they have not said a word from the end of the exam to now. Just look at each other’s eyes and you will understand.
Now, none of them dare to speak.
It’s just like when they all stayed for a long time during the palace exam… Fortunately, many candidates were very nervous, so that their performance was not obvious.
Those who can pass this step are not fools.
Ge Yun struggled in the same place for a long time. What a crime it was to leak the question and cheat in the examination room!
Thinking about this, Ge Yun felt that his back was wet with sweat. Then, I quickly thought in my mind what to do next.
First of all, Ge Yun is absolutely convinced that although Mr. Yun has a good relationship with these students, it is not so good that it will kill his life. Leak the question? Mr. Yun has a few lives and it is not enough to pay for it.
The idea of venting questions just flashed through Ge Yun’s mind because the questions were too similar.
Ge Yun didn’t dare to think deeply about what was involved behind this. But after thinking for a long time, he still started to answer the questions.
It is impossible for Ge Yun to stand up and say that I have done this question and killed himself. If not, no matter whether there is a conspiracy behind this, he is sitting here, and there will be problems if he writes or not.
So Ge Yun gritted his teeth and simply concentrated on answering the question.
It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
When they came back to school and saw the teachers from Shengkaozhai, when they asked about the question, the students trembled and said the question.
After hearing the last question, all the academic officers and gentlemen were silent for a moment. An old gentleman started to run out. When he ran to the door, he turned back and said “I’m going to clean up” and then closed the door.
The rest grabbed Ge Yun and they started shaking…
“How did you answer the question!”
Almost all the people here have helped the students present to watch the policy theory exercises, that is to say, they have also seen the topic of “Incorruptible Officials and People”.
Looking at Yun Yan’s reply again, he didn’t know when he had already sat down blankly.
What the hell?
Today’s policy topic is “The Representation of Honest Officials and the People”?
Yun Yanhui almost collapsed. He wanted to know that Renzong might pick up questions from “Begging for Dirty Officials”. He stepped back and said that the crackdown on corrupt officials has begun, and there must be other qualified people who will hold this current affairs direction.
However, he couldn’t think that Renzong actually detained this sentence, almost exactly the same as him!
I rely on it, it’s a coincidence at this level that I really want to be known, and I can’t clear it when I jump into the Yellow River.
No wonder the old gentleman ran to “clean up”, he had to burn all the articles written by the students before. Although this is a Jinshi examination question, the students from other provincial exams also did it, because Yun Yan’s idea at that time was to give them a reminder of their future career. Fortunately, these people are studying in a closed manner during this period, and there is almost no possibility of spreading.
Everyone knows that although this incident is a coincidence, one thing is worse than one thing less, let alone such a major event.
Everyone knows that Yun Yanhui is not the person who confided the question. Even if the Imperial City Secretary was invited to conduct a thorough investigation, there was no evidence of crime. At most, he was reprimanded by the official. Shang Bao Zheng…Awesome words!
No one in the room cared about how the students were doing in the exam anymore, and asked them one by one how they answered the questions.
Fortunately, they only did it as a general policy topic at the time, and they wrote it by themselves. At most, the gentlemen have pointed out that if they are still copied on the test paper, they will not be too different from their own level, or everyone will write the same. Situation.
The hearts of the students, which had been hung up high, were now let go.
Because they knew at this time, there was no conspiracy behind it, it was just a great coincidence, and they were not as worried as they did during the exam. Their pressure on this exam is definitely several times more than other students.
After repeatedly confirming that there are no flaws, everyone is in the mood to wipe a cold sweat.
Yun Yan replied quietly: “I blame me for being too accurate…”
I pressed the question, I was scared!
Everyone: “…”
After being speechless for a long while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to describe their feelings.
Yes, everyone thinks, how happy it would be if the subject was staked. But the people they really met were so scared. Is it happiness or misfortune for a gentleman like this?
For the whole day thereafter, the students who had done the policy argument lay in the dormitory to ease their breath.
Not only them, but the frightened gentlemen also rested for a long time.
Everyone has sworn a poisonous oath, absolutely cannot say what they have done that question.
—
At the same time, the palace is intensively reviewing the papers.
All the test papers of Juren were nicknamed and transcribed one by one. This system was implemented in the previous dynasty, so that the reviewing officials did not know who was looking at the test papers, which greatly reduced the degree of selfishness of the examiners.
There will be five grades for the selection of Jinshi, last time, upper middle, middle, lower and upper, and last time, each has its own criteria for judging. These test papers will be reviewed by the examiner and the prime minister will re-evaluate them.
At this time, Bao Zheng took the test paper and examined it carefully.
This policy topic is drawn from his memorials, and he should be the most qualified person besides officials. At the same time, as the person in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng smiled slightly when he saw some test papers.
Although it is difficult for the candidates to reveal their identities in the topic, there will always be some traces in their remarks.
However, Bao Zheng didn’t avoid relatives in internal exercises, and didn’t avoid suspicions outside. Bao Zheng thought for a moment and clicked on a familiar test paper, but did not remove it from the top ten.
The preliminary examination and re-examination must not only reject the unqualified examples, but also examine the top ten, and then the top ten will be used to determine the ranking of the officials.
…
On March 15th, when Chuanhe was singing.
The elders entered the palace again, waited outside the Chongzheng Hall, waited for the official rankings, and then sang their names.
Renzong had seen the top ten test papers in the hall, and he also saw a test paper he felt familiar with Vance, and placed it in the fifth place. Although this person did not point out the positive example of the expression of honest officials and people mentioned in his policy, how could Renzong fail to recognize where he wrote?
Anyone who knows Kaifeng Mansion in this way does not come from the mansion, but also has a lot to do with it.
Renzong glanced at Bao Zheng who was standing by his Highness, and with a light finger, the organizer raised the test paper to the third place.
Outside the temple.
All presenters waited with bated breath.
Slowly, they heard a voice coming from the temple. From the inside to the outside of the hall, many guards from the chief of the army stood in turn. When the officials said the names of the jinshi, these people would sing in turn until the officials outside the hall heard them.
The name of the person named is on the gold list, ecstatic. Those who have not been called are anxious, waiting hard. The two are in sharp contrast, and this is just the first step in their career.
Ge Yun stood on the spot with his head bowed and heard the guard roll the name, he had already separated the champion and second place, and the two immediately received countless envy eyes.
At this time, Ge Yun’s mood was a little different from the others.
It hasn’t been too long since the palace exam. After receiving such a great stimulus, he couldn’t be too excited in the face of such a scene.
—Of course, this is just Ge Yun’s own thoughts.
Because in the next moment, as the guards sang, the word “Ge Yun” echoed inside and outside the Chongzheng Hall.
Ge Yun raised his face blankly, as if he hadn’t realized that he was reading his name.
How could it be? Only then did I pronounce the third name.
Wait, the third name?
Ge Yun’s eyes were wide open, Jinshi and No. 1 ranked Tanhua? !
There are people who know Ge Yun around and greet them with their eyes. After receiving the greeting, Ge Yunru Meng first woke up, his hands trembled slightly, his knees softened, he knelt on the ground, and bowed toward the hall.
…
Ge Yun felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, and walked deep and shallow to the imperial garden under the leadership of the servant.
This is a fixed project for the new veterans. After the official roll-call is given, a banquet will be given, and the new veterans also want to give thanks.
The servant smiled at Ge Yun and said very kindly: “Congratulations to Tanhua Lang, the three scholars who participated in the Imperial Examination in Kaifeng Fuxue are all in high school, and you are the Tanhua Lang.”
Except for Ge Yun, the other two Jinshi students are also on the list, but the ranking is not as high as Ge Yun.
Ge Yun was in a good mood and responded friendly to the servant.
The in-house attendant introduced Ge Yun the situation of the banquet in a few words, and talked about the things in previous years. Ge Yun listened carefully, as if in a casual conversation, there were actually precautions hidden.
Ge Yun gratefully wanted to put a purse into the servant, but the servant recommended it, and said in a low voice: “Yun Lang Jun has already arranged the arrangements, so Tanhua Lang is at ease to the banquet.”
Ge Yun was taken aback, then nodded vigorously, “Thank you!”
When the Jinbang was inscribed, the Jinshi who were present were all red, and they felt that they were the happiest people in the Song Dynasty at this moment.
Ge Yun also felt that he was slowly breaking free from the negative state brought about by “discharging questions and suspicion”. He thought about it carefully and felt that he was able to find flowers, in fact, it was also a super level performance.
During the exam, Ge Yun saw the policy thesis from the very beginning, and the pressure was very high, but he was not crushed, but he played even better than usual. Otherwise, Ge Yun would definitely not reach the level of the top three consciously.
At the banquet, the fellow students next to him spoke to Ge Yun, the flower-explorer. If all those present are winners in life, then the top three are the winners among the winners.
These people will be colleagues in the officialdom in the future, and the friendship of the same year is also very important. Ge Yun worked hard and dealt with it carefully, not daring to be too proud because he was caught in the game.
It is inevitable that some people will ask how Ge Yun answered the question, as well as his origin and so on.
Ge Yun answered one by one, knowing that these people will inevitably have various thoughts in their hearts. He is a poor student from the Kaifeng government. Although everyone is a student of the emperor, the relationship between him and Bao Xianggong is absolutely unclear. In people’s eyes, he will be divided into factions from the beginning.
At this new science banquet, you come and go, it can be regarded as a preview of officialdom methods in advance.
Ge Yun tried his best to deal with it calmly. Thanks to his poor background, he had experienced many internships and social practices when he was studying in the government, and he had seen many worlds. After the joy of the first and the first calmed down, he was very comfortable.
Not long after, the servants sang and the officials attended a banquet.
The scene suddenly became quiet. As everyone who had just been promoted to Jinshi, this was the first time most of the people at the scene met.
This is their official family, who they want to be loyal to.
Jinshi bowed their heads and saluted, although they dared not raise their heads, but who is not curious in their minds, what is the official family like?
Is it more majestic or kind?
There are many senior high school scholars, and the seats are back. Even if they can raise their heads, they may not be able to see the official faces. Fortunately, Ge Yun and the others are still very close to the top three.
When the officials are seated, please kindly ask everyone to sit down, and then the jinshi should take their seats.
Ge Yun kept his mind, sat down steadily, then pretended not to show a trace, and looked up.
In the next moment, Ge Yun was petrified, and the sense of horror when he saw the topic of the policy in the palace test came again!
In all fairness, the official face in the ordinary clothes is handsome, handsome, and majestic. It is really a Mingjun.
But Ge Yun, who is relatively close, is absolutely correct. How do you think he looks exactly like what he saw at the celebration banquet after the student Cuju League, Mr. Yun’s friend Zhen Liu looks exactly the same!
I’ve seen this test before, so why have I also seen this official? !
The author has something to say: Yun Yanhui: Not only leaked the question, but also leaked the official’s parents…
