Kou Ji said with regret: "The officials are also true. What the guards are doing so deadly should be revealed, so that the students participating in the scientific examination will be familiar with it."

Li Diyi stood up and stared at Kou Ji with a look of'believe it or not, the old man hammered you to death'.

He shouted angrily: "Isn't it a good thing that the test questions are not leaked? Listen to what you mean, can you wait for the test questions to leak out?"

Seeing Li Di's anger, Kou Ji hurriedly got up and apologized: "The kid just said casually, Li Shangshu doesn't have to be angry."

Xue Tian said roundly: "Sit down and speak slowly if you have something to say, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Li Di glared at Kou Ji and snorted, sat down, and said angrily: "Your kid is getting more and more unruly."

Kou Ji sat down, smiled dryly, and said, "Li Shangshu must have learned the content of the test questions from the official. Li Shangshu feels that if the test questions are not leaked, is there a difference?"

After Kou Ji’s reminder, Li Di remembered the test questions again, and suddenly said, "You kid is too foolish. It's a trivial matter. How many people can answer the test questions you put out." ?"

Kou Ji opened his hand and smiled: "I followed Li Shangshu's instructions. The questions are linked to the court and knowledge. If they can't answer, it only means that they are not knowledgeable enough."

Li Di gritted his teeth and said, "What if the old man doesn't answer correctly? Are you saying that the old man is not knowledgeable enough?"

Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "Li Shangshu is highly knowledgeable, and the kid is beyond sight. Few people can compare to Li Shangshu in this world."

Li Di smiled angrily by Kou Ji's words. With a smile on his face, he asked in an unusually cold voice: "Then you are talking about the old man's knowledge compared to your grandfather, who is better?"

Kou Ji was taken aback, and laughed in a low voice: "Each has its own merits..."

Li Di asked again, "The Yellow River burst, and the old man fell into the water with your grandfather. Who would you save first?"

The expression on Kou Ji's face was a bit stiff.

If Kou Zhun asked him this question, he would definitely answer without hesitation: I would definitely throw two stones at Li Di first, so that his cry for help would not disturb me to save my grandfather.

But this question was asked by Li Di, and it was a bit difficult for Kou Ji to answer.

Say to save Li Di, Li Di will definitely say that he does not observe filial piety and is hypocritical.

Speaking of saving Kou, Li Di will definitely miss him, maybe he will wear small shoes in the future.

Li Di stared at Kou Ji with a cold smile: "Can't answer, right?"

Kou Ji smiled awkwardly.

Li Di patted the table and said angrily: "You can't answer this kind of question yourself. Why would you ask the students in the test that the official family and their father fell into the river together, who would they save first?"

Kou Ji smiled dryly and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. Those students will inevitably face the problem of loyalty and filial piety when they enter officialdom. The kid's question is just to test them in advance."

Li Di snorted coldly: "Your original intention was good, but can you answer this question? Who is the right one to save? You will lose your filial piety if you save the official family; you will lose your loyalty if you save your father.

Tell me, what is the answer to this question? "

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and did not directly answer Li Di's question, but asked: "Does Li Shangshu know the story of Zhao Bao's abandonment of his mother?"

"Zhao Bao abandoned his mother?"

Hearing these four words, Li Di's expression changed. He stared at Kou Ji and said: "Zhao Bao was the prefect of the Western Liaoning in the Eastern Han Dynasty. During his tenure in the Western Liaoning, he encountered an invasion by the Xianbei, and the Xianbei captured his wife, children, and mother. Threaten, let him surrender.

Zhao Bao was loyal and righteous, and led an army to defeat the Xianbei people.

But his wife, children, and mother were killed by the Xianbei..."

Speaking of which, Li Di can't speak anymore.

Because he already knew the answer to Kou Ji's question, and he also guessed the purpose of Kou Ji's question.

Kou Ji took Li Di's words and said: "The Emperor of Han remembered him for his loyalty, sent envoys to condolences his mother, and named him Qianhou. After Zhao Bao buried his mother, wife and children, he vomited blood and died. After all his loyalty, It is also full of filial piety."

Li Di's face was sullen and silent.

Xue Tian said with emotion: "The topic that Shi Lang Kou put forward was a bit ridiculous for the first time. Only after tasting it can I understand the deep meaning of it."

Xue Tian said to Kou Ji: "I admire and admire..."

Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "Dare not dare, it's just an axe at the door."

Li Di snorted and glared at Kou Ji.

He was about to ask other questions, but he saw that the servants who were guarding outside the lobby entered the lobby and said: "Fuzu, the two are on the job, the hour has reached the fourth shift, it's time to go to the Gongyuan."

Li Di asked sternly, "Is everything in the Gongyuan ready?"

Xue Tian arched his hands and said: "The exam numbers have been cleaned, candles and other items have been distributed, and they are ready to drink water and eat. The guards outside the courtyard have also been arranged."

Li Di nodded, got up slowly, tidied his clothes, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the Gongyuan..."

Kou Ji and Xue Tian followed Li Di and left Kaifeng Mansion to the Gongyuan.

On the way, Xue Tian seemed to have something to ask Kou Ji, but as Li Di was serious throughout the whole process, he didn't say a word, so he was not easy to speak.

The three of them arrived at the Gongyuan under the escort of the government officials.

The gate of Gongyuan was already full of students who came for scientific research.

In addition, there are soldiers guarding the Gongyuan, as well as inspecting entrained government officials.

The three of Li Di walked up the steps of the Gongyuan.

Li Di pinched the time, and when the time came, he announced'open the door'.

After the Gongyuan was opened, Li Di, Xue Tian, and Kou Ji each dispatched one person to go in and inspected the court. After confirming that the Gongyuan was not abnormal.

The three of them entered the gate of the Gongyuan.

The servants who checked the entrainment also went to the tribute courtyard.

There are Gong Temple, Drum Hall, Horn Hall, and Back Hall in the Gongyuan.

Li Di took the first step and entered the tribute temple, offering tribute to the Confucian sages.

Kou Ji and Xue Tian stayed in the drum hall and checked the entrainment together with the officials.

After Li Di set up the tribute according to the hour, he sent someone to the drum hall to spread the word.

Immediately, Xue Tian gave an order to beat the drums and let the students into the tribute courtyard.

The students lined up in two rows, carrying food boxes and book boxes, and entered the drum hall of Gongyuan.

Because of the three consecutive days of imperial examinations, plus the lock-in system.

Therefore, the students' exams are almost all closed exams.

During the period, you can neither enter nor exit.

The food and water prepared in the Gongyuan do not taste very good, so the students will bring their own food.

In addition, the Gongyuan will also provide pens and inks for students to use, but the texture is not very good, and often can not last three days to use, so the students have their own pens and inkstones.

As for the paper, it is distributed uniformly by the Gongyuan, and it does not require special preparation.

After the students entered the drum hall, the officials began to look through their book boxes, food boxes, and body searches.

These things don't need Kou Ji to do, he just needs to stare at Xue Tian together.

After Kou Ji's observation, he found that the yamen had a weird attitude when looking through the students' things.

They were very tolerant to some students, gave them a hasty glance, and let them go, but they were very harsh to some students. Not only did they break open the cooking cakes they prepared for inspection, they also let them take off their coats and scrutinize them strictly.

Kou Ji only thought about it for a moment, and he understood why the attitudes towards the students were different.

It is nothing more than the preferential treatment of receiving money, and the harsh treatment of confiscation of money.

Kou Ji did not see the scenes of stuffing money and money on the spot in the film and television drama.

Under the supervision of Shangguan, in front of other officials, can you still collect black money

It is purely fooling the human brain as a pig brain.

Those students who paid bribes, presumably, before Qiu Wei opened the exam, had already made the way and sent the money to the servants.

Therefore, there will never be a scene of giving money on the spot.

Kou Ji stepped forward to reprimand the servants, and the attitude of the servants improved a lot.

Seeing that some students shivered after taking off their coats, Kou Ji let someone light a few braziers in the drum hall.

After some inspection, more than a dozen students with cheat sheets were found.

Xue Tian expelled them from the Gongyuan on the spot and registered their names and places of origin. They would never be able to participate in the imperial examination in this life.

Of course.

The person who entrained the cheat sheet is absolutely unaware that there are more than a dozen students.

Although the students have enough cheating methods, Kou Ji has nowhere to hide.

Kou Ji found more than 30 students with cheat sheets.

It's just that some students do concealment, some students stuff money, so they can get through.

Kou Ji didn't embarrass them either.

It is impossible for them to ruin their life's future because they make a mistake once.

Moreover, Kou Ji has absolute confidence in the test questions he has given.

He expected that the cheat sheet that the students had entrained would not be used at all.

As for the dozen or so students who were found out, they were so stupid that they were hopelessly stupid, and Kou Ji didn't bother to take care of them.

Can the cheat sheet be easily turned out by people, can it be stupid

Some people missed the timidity by themselves before the inspected yaman approached him.

When Kou Ji and Xue Tian led the students who had been inspected, took the number plates and prepared to go to the tribute temple to worship, there was a student who arrived late.

"Wait a minute... Wait a moment..."

This student was around thirty, with a three-handed beard, and a slightly thin figure.

After he broke into the drum hall, everyone's eyes fell on him.

When some students saw him, they bowed down and saluted him.

This surprised Kou Ji a bit.

It seems that this student has a lot of status in the minds of other students.

When Xue Tian saw this person, he sighed, "What are you doing in the Qiuwei examination room?"

The student bowed and said, "Naturally, it is to take the test."

Xue Tian sighed and said: "You won't be able to pass the exam many times. And if you took the Qiuwei scientific examination in your early years, there is no need to take the Qiuwei examination again."

The student said neither humble nor overbearing: "The student wants to start all over again, and the student believes that today's officials are different from the first emperor."

Kou Ji looked around between the student and Xue Tian, and asked: "Know?"

Xue Tian glanced at the student and smiled bitterly: "No one in the world knows him!"

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, combined with the conversation between the two, Kou Ji roughly guessed the identity of this person.

Kou Ji stared at the student, looked around, and smiled: "Liu Sanbian?!"

Liu Yong bowed to Kou Ji and said: "The student has changed his name to Liu Yong, and Kou Shilang can call the student Liu Yong."

(Specially take a look at Liu Yong’s life, so that no one will misunderstand that Liu Yong was not born at this time. Liu Yong, formerly known as Liu Sanbian, was born in about 984 AD. He participated in the imperial examination in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, and was disgusted by Zhao Heng. In the eighth year of Zhongxiangfu and the second year of Tianxi, he participated in the imperial examination twice and failed successively. Now it is the fourth time that Liu Yong participated in the imperial examination.)

Kou Ji stared at Liu Yong and said with a smile: "Why did you change your name? Isn't Liu Sanbian good?"

Liu Yong looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Kou Ji's remarks a little bit his sore spot.

He also didn't want to change his name.

He also wanted to take the name of Liu Sanbian as a senior scholar, and then join his brother Liu Sanfu to make a name for himself.

But since Zhao Heng gave him the comment of "Fu Mi", Liu Sanbian's name stinks.

As long as the court begins to recruit scholars, the chief examiner sees the three characters Liu Sanbian, and he will be dismissed as soon as possible.

No matter how good his article is, it is useless.

He was already a little frustrated by failing three consecutive imperial examinations.

The reason for changing the name this time is to send a signal to the court.

Tell the court that he has a chance to reform, and hope that the court can give him a chance.

Seeing that Liu Yong didn't answer, Kou Ji asked, "You seem to have a great reputation on the Fengyue Field?"

Liu Yong raised his head slightly arrogantly.

At this point, he has absolute confidence.

In the Fengyue Field of Bianjing City, he was the second, and no one could be the first.

Those princes and grandsons, even if the power behind them is overwhelming, they can't surpass his limelight on the Fengyue Field.

Seeing Liu Yong's arrogance, Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "This official hates scholars who are famous for Fengyue."

The look on Liu Yong's face was a bit stiff.

Kou Ji said again: "Not long ago, this official sent someone to arrest a group of students, and many of them were presumptuous on the Fengyue Field."

Liu Yong's face turned black in an instant.

Kou Ji continued: "The official doesn't like those poems that are poignant, and I always feel that it is useless with the country."

Liu Yong's face darkened.

He felt that his trip was in vain.

The name was changed in vain.

With the first emperor's comment, the assistant examiner's words were full of dislikes, and he was definitely going to fail again.

He wanted to curse, and he wanted to write a poem on the spot, cursing Kou Ji for nothing.

Regardless of the consequences, scold it first.

Anyway, it was not the first time that he did this. After the first emperor ousted him, he wrote a song "Crane Soaring to the Sky·Golden List", complaining that the first emperor didn't know talent.

What about Kou Ji

Is it better than Emperor Xian

He even dared to complain about the first emperor, how could he not complain about Kou Ji

Kou Ji seemed to see Liu Yong's thoughts. He smiled and said, "This official advises you, it is better not to speak. If you make another song "Crane Soaring to the Sky: On the Gold List", then you Liu Yong Even if his name is changed for nothing."

Liu Yong was stunned when he heard Kou Ji's words.

He knew what Kou Ji had said was reasonable, but he couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart.

Is it to scold or not to scold

Makes him hesitate a little.

Scolded, the official career is gone.

Not scolding, and not happy in my heart.

Liu Yong thought for a moment, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Kou Ji obviously didn't want to take him, his official career was gone.

What else needs to be considered
