Fang Zhengzheng…
Chief writer of the imperial examination? !
This matter is incredible no matter how you think about it. Novel of nature
How important is the imperial examination? Once you pass the imperial examination, it means that you have the qualifications to become an official in the imperial court, and the main writer has the power of life and death in the imperial examination.
One word can make a candidate fail, and one word can also make a candidate rise to the top. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most important person who dominates the imperial examination.
"It's impossible, it's definitely an illusion!"
"How could Fang Zhengzheng be the chief writer of this imperial examination? He is... not even eighteen years old!"
"Why is this happening? The chief writer of the imperial examination is less than eighteen years old. Nothing like this has ever happened since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, right?"
Each of the candidates looked at Fang Zhengzheng standing among the envoys, unable to believe the facts in front of them. After all, this was too exaggerated.
"Master Fang, can we start now?" While the candidates looked disbelieving, an emissary had already walked to Fang Zhengyi's side respectfully and asked extremely cautiously.
"Well, let's get started." Fang Zhengzheng nodded and handed over the yellow brocade silk in his hand.
"Yes!" The imperial envoy immediately took the brocade silk with both hands, then slowly stepped back two steps, coughed slightly, and then unfolded the brocade silk cloth: "The Holy One has decreed that Fang Zhengzheng, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, be conferred the title of The imperial envoy of the Royal Academy has the rank of second-grade official, enjoys the title of second-grade official, and is the chief author of this Taoist canon examination!"
"From the second rank?! Enjoy the royal service of the second rank!"
"Oh my god, he is really the chief writer of this imperial examination!"
"The chief writer of the Imperial Examination who is less than 18 years old, the first person since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he has actually been given the title of Second Rank Cong, and also enjoys the title of Second Rank Imperial Minister. This is the same treatment as the Six Ministers! "
The candidates were completely stunned when they heard the imperial edict read out by the imperial envoy. Such a result was undoubtedly beyond their imagination.
because…
Just a dozen days ago.
When Fang Zhengzheng entered Yanjing City with Chihou and Yan Xiu of Shenhou Mansion, he was still charged with being a fugitive, but what about now? But he has become the governor of the Royal Academy and the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. He has been promoted from the second rank to the second rank to the imperial court.
What an exaggeration
No one believes it, but the fact is the fact.
At this moment, all the candidates looked at Fang Zhengzheng, the youngest chief writer of the imperial examination in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the man who was about to dominate their destiny.
Then, one incident after another flashed through their minds quickly.
The double ranking in the county examination, the double ranking in the government examination, the double ranking in the court examination, the double ranking in the palace examination, this is the highest achievement in all the previous Taoist examinations, an achievement that no one can surpass!
Moreover, in addition to this, he was also the greatest contributor to the battle in the Southern Territory. He was the one who fought against the demon half-saint Can Yang. Every deed in this was shocking.
Now…
When all these deeds were concentrated on one person, he became the youngest chief writer of imperial examinations in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The candidates looked at me one by one, and I looked at you, and they thought of one thing, that is, Fang Zhengzheng seemed to have become their "mentor" unintentionally.
Because the rankings of all candidates will be arranged by Fang Zhengzheng, so how can he not be the mentor of all candidates who pass the imperial examination
When I think about it, from this life on, I will call someone younger than me my mentor...
The candidates all suddenly felt a sense of desolation.
"It's almost time, let's start the exam." Fang Zheng looked at the silent candidates below and waved his hand somewhat boredly.
In fact, he had no interest in being the chief author of the imperial examination.
But…
This is the request of the Holy Sage Lin Mubai.
A house with a radius of a hundred miles was his own responsibility, and the imperial edict from the Holy Master Lin Mubai was also sent to Pingyang Mansion. It was impossible for him not to accept it.
"Yes!" The imperial envoy nodded immediately, and then sounded the second gong to start the examination.
"Boom!"
A loud gong sounded.
At the same time, it also brought all the candidates' thoughts back to reality. When their eyes looked at Fang Zhengyi, who was still standing in the middle of the imperial envoy, no one had any objections.
Because, whether they like it or not, this is a fact, a fact that cannot be changed.
Moreover, to take a step back, aside from Fang Zhengzheng's background and shamelessness, he indeed has enough qualifications to serve as the chief writer of the Dao Canon Examination.
The reason is simple. He is the only person in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty who completed all six test papers in one go and scored full marks.
This alone is enough.
If such a person cannot be the chief writer of the imperial examination, who can be
…
After the gong sounded, the door of the Royal Academy was truly opened, with guards and envoys lined up on both sides.
Fang Zhengzheng, on the other hand, stood quietly in the middle of the gate of the Royal Academy, accepting the student gifts from all the candidates who entered the examination room in accordance with the etiquette of the Taoist examination.
The candidates lined up one by one, saluted respectfully towards Fang Zhengzheng, and were inspected by the guards. Fang Zhengzheng also rarely became formal, straightening his back, with a strict look on his face.
"Um… "
"very good!"
"Young man is good, work hard!"
"Try to get good grades!"
Following Fang Zhengzheng's "amiable" admonishment, the candidates who had completed the examination entered the examination room "joyfully" one after another.
After standing at the door for a moment, Nangong Mu seemed to finally feel relieved. After accepting the inspection by the guards, he also walked to Fang Zhengyi and, like other candidates, bowed respectfully to Fang Zhengyi.
Then, he also waited for Fang Zhengzheng's "discipline".
And then…
A voice rang in his ear.
"Want to get first place? Just draw three circles on the test paper!"
"thump!"
Nangong Mu's feet softened and he almost fell to the ground. His calm eyes were fixed on Fang Zhengzheng, who was smiling brightly at him.
what is this? Does the writing officer help candidates cheat openly? Three laps, first place? Looking at Fang Zhengzheng's serious expression, Nangong Mu was quite speechless.
really…
This guy's level of shamelessness is unimaginable to most people.
On such a solemn occasion, he actually said such shameless words, and he said it in front of all the candidates after becoming the chief writer of the imperial examination.
"I want to rely on my own strength!" Nangong Mu gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, you're quite willful. That's alright. If I don't pay attention to the test paper and I randomly decide to fail the exam for you, don't blame me." Fang Zhengzheng shook his head and said with some regret.
"..." Nangong Mu did not speak, but walked into the examination room with a dark look on his face.
When the surrounding candidates heard the conversation between Fang Zhengyi and Nangong Mu, they also had black lines and three circles on their faces? Can I really take first place
No one can answer this question.
However, the news spread like a "plague" in the examination room of Yushuyuan in an instant. As long as you draw three circles on the test paper, you will have a chance to get the first place in the literary test of the imperial examination.
And the person who said this is none other than the chief writer of this imperial examination, Mr. Fang Zhengzheng, Mr. Fang!
…
"Shameless! How could the Holy Emperor allow such a person to be the chief writer of the imperial examination? It is simply... it is simply an insult to the decades-old ceremony of our Great Xia Dynasty!" A courtier was very angry after listening to the words in the restaurant.
Especially when the words that you can draw three circles to get first place reached his ears, he felt more and more unbearable shame and anger.
The other courtiers sitting under him also shook their heads gently, looking a little speechless as they listened to Fang Yu talking about them below.
"Actually, although Fang Zhengzheng is a bit shameless, when it comes to his attainments in the Dao Canon, he can indeed be regarded as the best in the dynasty!" Another courtier finally said after thinking for a while.
"Well, that's true. In terms of their understanding of the "Tao Canon" alone, I'm afraid even Nangong Hao and Chi Guyan may not have a deeper understanding than Fang Zhengzheng!"
"Yes, Fang Zhengzheng's attainments in the "Tao Canon" are indeed hundreds of times better than mine!"
The other courtiers also nodded when they heard this.
Shameless is shameless.
But some things are indeed true.
In two hours, he completed the six test papers of the imperial examination. This was something that had never happened before and would never be done again. No one had any objections to saying he was number one in the imperial examination.
"So what? Can you be a good chief writer just by knowing the Dao Canon? The prestige and moral standing of the chief writer are also very important." The angry courtier was still a little unhappy.
"Times have changed. Your Majesty's bold introduction of new things is not necessarily a bad thing. It has been a long time since there was no fresh blood in the court." A courtier patted the angry courtier on the shoulder and persuaded him.
"Well, this time Fang Zhengzheng was granted the title of Second Rank Cong, and also received the title of Second Rank Zheng. This treatment is on par with the Six Ministers!"
"I guess that Fang Zhengzheng is not far away from taking the position of the Six Ministers."
"If that's really the case, it would be a bit scary. One of the six ministers, he is also the governor of the Royal Academy, the teacher of the world's students. He has priority in selecting people, and he also has the favor of Princess Pingyang, who is the favorite of the Holy Emperor. This... Who can compete with this future court?"
"Should we butter up in advance?"
"I feel..."
"I'm sorry, everyone! I have something to do at home, so I need to take the first step!"
"I also remembered that there are some things at home, so I won't accompany you all. I'll take my leave first!"
"I'm leaving!"
“…”
"Um... don't any of your colleagues settle the bill?" The angry courtiers at first widened their eyes, looking at the figures flying away one by one, then looked at the table full of leftover food and wine in front of them, and reached out to touch He touched the somewhat shriveled purse and his face turned pale.
…
Yanjing City, Imperial Palace.
When everyone's eyes were focused on the imperial examination and Fang Zhengzheng becoming the chief writer of the imperial examination, the palace was surprisingly quiet.
Rows of soldiers wearing golden armor walked through the palace, neat and solemn, and their spears shone with a cold light in the sunlight.
The morning court ended before the sun rose in the morning, the court examination began, and the civil and military officials had no intention of entering the palace again to meet the saint.
For the palace where people used to come and go...
It can indeed be considered a quiet day.
"I can take a day off today!"
"Yes, in the past, one minister after another came back and forth to the palace. I couldn't even squint my eyes and my voice was hoarse. Today I can finally rest for a day!"
"Well, that means you can rest on the day when the North Korea Examination starts. After today, the examiners and submitters will probably be busy again."
The eunuchs who were responsible for reporting the news in the palace were yawning and talking quietly.
The palace maids also had half a day to spare, looking for a place where the sun could shine, smelling the fragrance of flowers coming from the imperial garden, and stretching lazily.
"so comfortable!"
"The ladies are all paying attention to the exams of the children of the aristocratic families. We feel a lot more relaxed. We don't have to worry about it like before."
"At least, you won't get beaten today!"
There was a hint of relief on the faces of the palace maids.
In the past, when serving, the ladies in the palace would be beaten severely when they were angry. However, it was different today. Almost all the ladies in the palace would please someone.
After all, although they are in the palace now.
But basically they all come from famous families, and it is definitely a happy thing for them to have new children from the family take part in the imperial examination and become a new member of the imperial family.
In the palace today, there are no fights, no busyness, no sharp shouts from the eunuchs, and no miserable sounds of the maids being beaten.
Everything seemed very peaceful.
And at the main entrance of the palace, on top of the high wall, there is a figure, a figure whose expression is completely different from that of the eunuchs and maids below.
The golden armor modifies the exquisite figure.
The look between his brows and eyes is extraordinary heroic and so bright that it makes your heart tremble.
She is the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army, painted by Chen Fei.
Likewise, she was also the most beloved concubine of the current imperial concubine, the Holy Emperor Lin Mubai.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest!" At this moment, a member of the Royal Forest Army came to Chen Feihua and whispered to Chen Feihua with a respectful look on his face.
Normally speaking, the status of the Painted Concubine is obviously higher than that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army.
But…
As long as Chen Fei Hua wears the armor of the Imperial Guard Army, no one in the palace would dare to call her Concubine Hua. Even the Holy Lord Lin Mubai would call her, "Dadu Tong!"
Of course, this rule does not restrict courtiers.
In Chen Feihua's words, he only cares about the palace, so naturally he will not care about the courtiers outside the palace, nor what the princes call him.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Feihua nodded, looking at the Imperial Guards who were walking in the palace in front of him, the expression on his face did not change at all. (To be continued.)
