No one can figure out what Nangong Hao is thinking. Does he want to hand in a blank test? Because he thinks this strategy is too simple? Or maybe you think the imperial examination is too easy
However, this is unlikely. Reading at midnight,
If Nangong Hao really didn't bother to take part in the palace examination, then there was no need for him to go all the way to Yanjing City and publicly announce that he would participate in this palace examination.
Almost all the courtiers know one thing. The Nangong family has a very important reputation. The Nangong family will never allow such things to be ruined by handing in blank papers.
So…
What is Nangong Hao thinking
When the courtiers were confused, Nangong Hao also picked up the answer sheet on the desk, gently turned it over, and covered it on the desk.
"What... what's going on?"
All the courtiers looked at Nangong Hao's actions and were completely shocked.
Because, the moment Nangong Hao picked up the answer sheet, they all clearly saw that the answer sheet was not blank, but had extremely smooth handwriting.
This means that the test paper handed in by Nangong Hao is not a blank paper.
Not a blank roll
How is this possible!
The eyes of the courtiers were completely widened, and no one wanted to believe the scene before them, because before Fang Zhengzheng called out to hand over the paper, they all clearly remembered that Nangong Hao's answer sheet was blank.
Could it be...
Is this possible
"Oh my God, how did he do that?"
"It's simply unbelievable!"
"It's incredible."
All the courtiers were frightened.
Because, if Nangong Hao didn't hand in a blank paper, then there was only one possibility left.
just now.
The moment everyone's eyes were attracted to Fang Zhengzheng, Nangong Hao completed the entire answer sheet at a speed that ordinary people could not imagine.
However, recall everything just now in detail.
From Fang Zhengyi standing up and saying that he wanted to hand in the paper, to the officials questioning it, and then to a conversation between Su Qing and Fang Zhengzheng. The process in between only takes half a stick of incense at most.
In other words, Nangong Hao used this time to complete the entire answer sheet.
too fast!
The ministers were shocked by Nangong Hao's writing speed.
But what shocked them even more was that Nangong Hao actually used the most inappropriate period of time to write the essay answer sheet for the palace examination.
As we all know, writing is about coherence and peace of mind.
However, just now was the noisiest time of the entire palace examination, with discussions among the courtiers and conversations between Su Qing and Fang Zhengzheng.
But Nangong Hao still wrote it.
and. The time is still so short.
This can only show that Nangong Hao entered a state in the process of writing the article, a state of true peace of mind, a state of mind that is not disturbed by the outside world at all.
"The Taoist heart is natural... Is this the Taoist heart is natural?!" Wu Feng looked at Nangong Hao, who was standing not far away in white clothes, and felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
For the first time, he felt afraid of someone.
And it comes from the fear in my heart.
Su Qing also reacted at this time, looking at Nangong Hao, and then at the sage Lin Mubai who was sitting on the dragon chair with a slightly changed expression.
"Seal the scroll." The Holy Lord Lin Mubai finally spoke.
"Yes." Su Qing agreed immediately.
When the other courtiers heard this, they stopped talking.
because. If Fang Zhengzheng had submitted the papers alone, then they could charge Fang Zhengheng's behavior with contempt for the emperor's authority, but they would submit the papers together with Nangong Hao.
What else can they deduct
Could it be. Deduct it together with Nangong Hao
Su Qing had already arrived in front of Nangong Hao at this time, looked at the answer sheet on the desk, took out the seal in his hand and prepared to seal the test paper.
However, at this moment, a hand directly stopped Su Qing's movement.
This hand naturally belongs to Nangong Hao.
"Mr. Nangong. Don't you plan to hand it over?" Su Qing was a little confused.
"No, I just think Master Su made a mistake?" Nangong Hao looked at Su Qing, his eyes unwavering. His tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"What's the matter?" Su Qing became even more confused.
"Master Su has entered the court since he took part in the imperial examination four years ago. From being an imperial writer to being an envoy of the imperial academy, can't he even see who submitted the papers first?" Nangong After Hao finished speaking, his hand pointed directly towards Fang Zheng.
Su Qing was stunned immediately.
Also stunned along with Su Qing were the civil and military courtiers standing next to the Holy Lord Lin Mubai.
"Can't you see whoever turned in the paper first?"
Of course they understood the meaning of Nangong Hao's words, and also knew who Fang Zhengzheng was referring to in Nangong Hao's words.
However, what they didn't understand was why Nangong Hao said this. It was obviously a trivial matter, and the two of them handed in papers one after the other.
The envoy in charge of collecting the paper first collected the person who submitted the paper later, and then the person who submitted the paper before. If he was not a very caring person, he would not have any objection at all.
So, is Nangong Hao the kind of person who is extremely careless
of course not.
Then there is only one possibility, Nangong Hao did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, the courtiers suddenly had another thought in their minds. If Nangong Hao's words were intentional, then what happened to Nangong Hao after Fang Zheng submitted the document was intentional
No one can figure it out.
However, Su Qing reacted quickly.
He was the second-ranked imperial examiner of the same class as Nangong Hao, and was a fourth-rank court official in the current dynasty. Now he was temporarily serving as the governor of the Royal Academy. However, in front of Nangong Hao, he was nothing.
At least, he is nothing now.
There is always a gap between the first and the second, an unbridgeable gap.
Su Qing understood this very well. Even though he was now the acting governor, even though he was the invigilator in this examination room, he still bowed apologetically to Nangong Hao.
Then, he turned around and saluted Fang Zhengzheng.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I was the one responsible for the delay!" After Su Qing finished speaking. Then he came to Fang Zhengzheng again and took out the sealed envelope.
A hand quickly stopped Su Qing.
This hand is naturally square and upright.
what happened again
Su Qing's eyes flickered for a moment, but she finally forced herself to endure it.
"Master Fang, don't you plan to hand it over?"
"No, I just think Mr. Su is a little careless when doing things?" Fang Zhengzheng glanced at Su Qing indifferently, and then subconsciously looked at Nangong Hao not far away.
"How could you not consider it?" Su Qing tried his best to make his tone calmer.
"Master Su has entered the court since he took part in the imperial examination four years ago, from an imperial pen writer to an imperial envoy of the Imperial Academy. Can't you even see who is near and who is far away?"
"What do you mean?" Su Qing's face finally darkened.
"Mr. Su has obviously already reached Nangong Hao's side, but he backtracked midway just because of the other party's words. This is a sign of unsteady stance, and your behavior of seeking the far side instead of the near and coming to collect my test paper first is even more serious. Behavior that delays efficiency, just imagine, the affairs of the Royal Academy are so complicated, and Mr. Su does things like this, I am very worried!" Fang Zhengzheng said the last sentence. He also had a melancholy expression on his face.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
When working under a "movie king" figure like the Holy Lord Lin Mubai, you always have to show off your acting skills to some extent, and you can't be too secretive.
As for why it is difficult for Su Qing.
That was of course intentional.
reason
There are two points. First, if Su Qing was allowed to put away the test paper like this, it would seem that he had taken advantage of Nangong Hao, but in terms of momentum, he would actually be inferior to Nangong Hao.
The courtiers standing there could not understand. Fang Zhengzheng knew it clearly in his heart.
When Nangong Mu left Yanjing, he once visited Fang Zhengzheng and said very little, but. There is a sentence that Fang Zhengzheng remembers clearly.
"When I leave, he will come!"
At that time, Fang Zhengzheng didn't understand it very well, but when word spread throughout Yanjing City that Nangong Hao was going to take part in the palace examination, he would be really stupid if he didn't understand it anymore.
Fang Zhengzheng put down his bold words to challenge Nangong Hao.
Nangong Hao's purpose of traveling thousands of miles away is of course obvious, to regain the dignity of the Nangong family. This can be seen clearly from the moment Fang Zhengzheng stood up to hand in the paper, and Nangong Hao immediately handed in the paper.
Although Fang Zhengzheng didn't know how Nangong Hao did it, in fact, Nangong Hao really did it and completed a policy paper in a short period of time.
Next, Nangong Hao's attack can be said to be the best among the best.
Normally speaking, the first person to hand in the paper is definitely the most popular person.
However, Nangong Hao's seemingly upright words brought all the glory to himself. This is a kind of scenery, and it is also a kind of momentum.
Nangong Hao came with great momentum, so how could he lose momentum in the first round of the literary test
Fang Zhengzheng wanted to challenge Nangong Hao, so he couldn't lose his momentum, so he kicked the "ball" back unceremoniously.
Of course the face used was Su Qing's.
As for why Su Qing’s face was used? This is the second reason, because Su Qing's face is thick enough and strong enough. At least, he can bear it.
Of course, the underlying reason was that Su Qing had just expressed his "war intention" to Fang Zhengyi.
So, let’s kill two birds with one stone casually.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were looking at me and me with surprise on their faces.
It is clear.
Fang Zhengzheng definitely did it on purpose.
However, Fang Zhengzheng's words can be said to be impeccable, and he borrowed Nangong Hao's words, which cannot be refuted at all.
The most important thing is that this sentence is too harsh.
The fact that His Highness the Crown Prince was responsible for the position of Su Qingdai's imperial envoy has not been confirmed at all in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there has been no instruction from the Holy Emperor. Now Fang Zhengzheng is questioning it in public in front of the Holy Emperor Lin Mubai.
Moreover, to borrow Nangong Hao's words, it is definitely a disaster for Su Qing. After such a setback, it is estimated that even the position of the deputy governor may not be guaranteed, let alone the direct promotion to the governor.
"Hard enough!"
"Hard!"
Originally, the courtiers looked at Fang Zhengyi with an outsider's eyes. No matter how talented Fang Zhengyi was, they always regarded Fang Zhengzheng as a commoner in a mountain village.
I don't think Fang Zhengzheng is anything scary at all.
Any courtier thinks he can step on a few of them.
However, now that they saw Su Qing's expression, which was so dark that it was almost dripping with water, they all took a breath of cold air in their hearts. Who said that people who have never been in the government do not understand government affairs
There is a living example right in front of you.
Su Qing's face is indeed very dark now. He has never been as dark as now. Four years ago, he lost to Nangong Hao in the imperial examination.
From then on, he gave up his intention to practice and devoted himself to entering the court.
The reason is that he knows very well that Nangong Hao cannot enter the court no matter what.
If he hadn't fully understood Nangong Hao's words just now, now he really understood what Fang Zhengzheng said in reply.
Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzheng are using themselves as pawns!
Moreover, he still uses his career to play chess.
This is an insult. Chi Guoguo's insult is an insult that Su Qing absolutely cannot bear.
His mind was spinning rapidly at this moment, and he knew that he had to solve the urgent need now, otherwise his future career would be ruined.
Then, it is impossible for your own plan to succeed.
Of course, it was impossible for him to refute Fang Zhengzheng's words, because that was the last resort. If he really did that, his career would really be in darkness.
Now, the only thing he can do is to protect himself. This is the last resort, so what he needs to do is to prove his talent and ability to do things.
Use practical actions to change the "stigma" caused by Fang Zhengyi.
"Master Wang, please seal Mr. Nangong's test paper." Su Qing looked at the envoy next to him.
"Yes." An imperial envoy nodded quickly and walked towards Nangong Hao.
Su Qing nodded, and then turned back to look at Fang Zhengyi again, his expression instantly restored to calm: "Master Fang, can you hand over the test paper to me for sealing now?"
When the other courtiers saw this scene, they nodded slightly.
Su Qing's ability to come up with such a method in this situation is indeed worthy of the word calm. A seemingly simple move invisibly solved all the problems of Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzheng.
Another imperial envoy went to collect Nangong Hao's test papers.
On his side, he stood still and collected Fang Zhengzheng's test papers first.
As a result, neither Fang Zhengyi nor Nangong Hao had anything to say.
"A kid can be taught, a kid can be taught!" Fang Zhengzheng finally raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at Su Qing in front of him, and then handed the test paper in front of Su Qing.
Su Qing's originally calm face suddenly darkened again. He raised his hand, put it down, raised it again, and finally took the test paper with a forced breath.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your generous teaching!"
When the civil and military officials heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, their feet weakened and they almost fell to the ground.
"A boy can be taught?!"
"This guy is really shameless!"
