"The king, the world and the country, the word "ritual", although it is extremely complicated, is not a difficult problem for me."
The pen in Xiao Naihe's hand was swaying down, and soon the entire paper was written. It was so eloquent that I didn’t know how many words were written on the paper.
"A child of the royal family?" Xiao Naihe murmured. He was a child of the royal family before he embarked on the path of cultivating demons. However, due to various reasons, he was in catastrophe. In the end, he was displaced and spent hundreds of years cultivating the supreme realm.
"That's all!" Xiao Naihe shook his head, obviously unwilling to think about this topic for too long.
After the paper is finished, people can leave.
After the test, everyone was gone.
"I wonder if I can pass this time?"
"Hey, I'm not good at studying in the first place. I still have to take the literary test. I'm afraid that my hope is slim and I will be ashamed of my family elders."
The children of the aristocratic families gathered together in twos and threes and discussed one after another. They seemed a little uneasy and frequently looked into the attic.
Papers are being graded in the attic, and hundreds of scholars and officials are reviewing the papers. The one sitting at the very back is the current Prime Minister Gong Liang. As the invigilator of the literary examination, he also assists in selecting the top three papers. This is a requirement of the Tianshu Kingdom.
The prime minister governs the court with literature and assists the king. He is the most talented person.
It takes an hour to mark papers for the literary test. When it comes to marking thousands of papers, one hour is actually fast enough.
"Okay?" Gong Liang sat at the table, with more than a dozen test papers piled in front of him.
It was several senior civil servants who helped Gong Liang select them. They actually held their hands and said respectfully: "Sir, these thirteen test papers were selected repeatedly by the five of us, and the answers are very correct."
"Well!" Gong Liang turned over the paper in his hand, took a closer look, and said, "Yes, the king rules the world with benevolence, justice, etiquette, and wisdom. Benevolence, justice, etiquette, and wisdom are indeed the core ideas of great scholars. This is Wang Fangfei, who seems to belong to the Wang family in Kyoto. Man! That Wang family who was a high official in the previous dynasty?"
"yes!"
Gong Liang separated the papers and placed Wang Fangfei next to him. Then he looked at the other papers with expressions ranging from appreciation to disappointment to plainness. However, Wang Fangfei still placed the paper aside and did not touch it.
After a while, Gong Liang put away all the papers and said with a smile: "Wang Fangfei's answer to the paper was very good. She deserves to be ranked first."
Just as Gong Liang stood up, he accidentally knocked down the stack of papers on the other side of the table and scattered them on the ground.
"Wait, sir, I'll pick it up." A mustachioed civil servant hurriedly bent down and picked it up.
Gong Liang picked up two papers and suddenly saw a paper in his hand. He slowly stopped and looked at it carefully.
"If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up. Without etiquette, you can't honor the gods of heaven and earth. Without etiquette, you can't distinguish the order of superiors and juniors. Ruling a country with etiquette will guide the world's society and the country!" Gong Liang's face showed a slight surprise. , "This statement is not something that ordinary people can say. Many great sages in ancient and modern times have taken this as their core idea. Unfortunately, people's hearts have changed over time and they have gradually forgotten it. You can still see this kind of statement today. Whose is it? Paper? Not one of the thirteen excellent papers? "
Several civil servants next to him looked stunned and said hurriedly: "I feel that this person's thoughts are too inconsistent, so I suppressed him until the end."
"Nonsense, we govern the country with etiquette and govern the court with culture, that is, we should take the best and discard the dross." Gong Liang's tone was a little tough, and he looked at the paper in his hand again, and said slowly: "Not only is the answer excellent, but also this I am afraid that many great sages in the court will not be able to match him for his handwriting. He is wild rather than restrained. This kind of person is a talent. "
"Xiao Naihe? Why haven't I heard of this person?" Gong Liang thought carefully.
When the civil servants next to them heard this, their expressions changed and became a little ugly. They looked at each other and said hurriedly: "I have heard of this man being demoted. He seems to be a prodigal son who came from a big family, and he even molested the current number one." She is a talented woman but her character is not good, so we put the papers away.”
"People's words are scary. I believe that the person who can write such a paper is definitely not the kind of lecherous person. Moreover, the most talented woman you mentioned seems to be a girl who has been temporarily living in the dusty land. That girl was also invited here today. "It seems to be for the fun of the conference." Gong Liang waved his hand, "Not to mention, this paper is better than the Wang family's paper, it should be the first."
"My lord, think twice!"
Gong Liang's eyes widened and he said, "You keep trying to persuade me. What do you mean? Who is the examiner today?"
Those five civil servants were all bribed by Wang Jingguo and gave them 10,000 lower-grade crystal stones just to eliminate Xiao Naihe's papers. Unexpectedly, Gong Liang saw them by mistake.
Now the money has been collected, but the purpose has not been achieved. Seeing Gong Liang getting angry, he immediately shrank and did not dare to answer any more.
Without thinking, Gong Liang placed Xiao Naihe's paper first, and Wang Fangfei's second.
… …
In the Wang family camp, Yun Weixue and others all participated in this literary test. As for Yun Yonghuai, she was just here to join in the fun, so she didn't go there for reference.
Yun Yonghuai was unwilling to be lonely. When he saw that the time was approaching, he shouted: "Sister, Brother Hanbai, what do you think?"
"Okay!" Yun Weixue just said one word and stopped answering. Instead, she closed her eyes and closed her breath to cultivate her Qi.
"Weixue is really hardworking. She didn't forget to practice even during the assessment. No wonder she was able to break through the Heavenly Spirit Realm and become the third Tianling Realm expert in the Tianshu Kingdom who is less than 18 years old." Yun Hanbai looked at Yun Weixue with a confused look on his face. A little envious and a little crazy.
"But before I came out, the head of the family once asked us to be careful about Prime Minister Gong Liang. It is said that the Prime Minister has always opposed the Kyoto family to be an official in the court. This time he is the examiner, fearing that he will interfere with it." At this time, Yun Gongsheng said what was in his heart. Worry.
Yun Weixue suddenly opened her eyes and replied slowly: "Although my mother said before that the Prime Minister has something wrong with the family, I have had several conversations with him and found that he is not this kind of person. He does not allow people from the family to be in court. I’m afraid I’ve never heard of it. I wonder where my mother heard about it?”
Yun Gongsheng glanced at Yun Weixue and muttered: "I don't know, it seems like I said this a long time ago."
Just as a few of them were discussing, they suddenly heard a sneer. A pretty and pleasant woman walked over and said with a smile: "Yun Weixue, people say you are the number one genius in Kyoto. I don't believe it. Today we Just use the assessment to determine the outcome and see who is the top genius."
Yun Weixue did not answer. Yun Yonghuai on the side couldn't help but taunted: "You are really honorable. You are only at the peak of the Earth Spirit Realm, but my sister has already reached the Heaven Spirit Realm. How do you compare? You don't know yet, I My sister’s teacher is even more so today…”
"Yonghuai!" Yun Weixue suddenly shouted, otherwise Yun Yonghuai could not continue speaking.
"What is it?" Wang Fangfei still heard it and asked.
ps: I am busy in the New Year and the update is a bit unstable. I hope you can forgive me and I will resume normal updates soon.
