Chapter 305 For the sake of my sister
"Your Highness, the poems and fu in this volume are all used to metaphorize the position of the crown prince. At first glance, it praises the interests of the crown prince who has both talent and talent for the country and the people. In fact, it is to use this to illustrate that the crown prince of a country not only needs talent but also needs virtue... I think this volume can be a candidate for the first name!"
"Well, it's not bad..." The other party's answer made Li Chengqian's face look a little joyful, and he smiled, "The scientific examination is to select qualified officials for the court. What is qualified? It requires both moral integrity and talent! Let's not talk about virtue for now, but talent is reflected through this test paper. Therefore, as a examiner, the responsibility is extremely important, and no one with profound knowledge and noble virtue cannot do it!"
Li Chengqian's words made the scholar secretly say he was lucky and thought that he was indeed not wrong. His Highness is trying to teach himself!
Although Li Chengqian's last words seemed to be talking about the person who was marking the paper, he was actually praising himself, this...
"I, I... I thank Your Highness for your praise!"
He suddenly felt a feeling of a soldier dying for his confidant, and a feeling of a thousand-mile horse finally meeting Bole... His Royal Highness praised himself so much that the peak of his life was finally coming!
"Okay, go back and continue to mark the papers!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
The bachelor returned to his position with a calm expression, but he was really excited. He imagined that after the scientific examination, His Highness the Crown Prince recommended him to three provinces and six ministries, or some positions in the Eastern Palace... The future is bright!
Since then, after finishing his position as a scientific examination reviewer, this bachelor has been waiting for news about His Royal Highness at Hongwenguan all day long. As a result... Well, he is a pitiful person!
If Li Chengqian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that what he said was literal and had no inner meaning... He was thinking too much!
...
Let’s talk about Li Chengqian. After cheating a bachelor’s degree, he was still a little "not satisfied"... mainly because he was worried, so he found another paper marking officer to read the test paper. After getting a similar answer to the previous one, he took the red pen on the table and drew a red circle on the top of the leftmost side of the test paper...
After that, he carefully copied the test paper himself, put the test paper together with other test papers, then stretched his body, got up and left... If he hadn't been worried about Li Lizhi, he wouldn't have given up his warm bed, and he would still review the test papers here in the middle of the night!
That's right, Li Lizhi thought she was doing everything perfectly, and she was confident that she had concealed Li Chengqian's participation in the imperial examination. However... the so-called "the way is one foot taller than the devil is one foot taller than the devil". In front of Li Chengqian, the "king", Li Lizhi was at most a "bronze" rookie! How could Li Chengqian not discover her little thoughts and tricks?
and……
"Dad, although this girl Lizhi is a little erratic, she has not read the book in vain. The poem she wrote is very high in quality, and several reviewers all gave high praise!"
In Liangyi Hall, His Majesty Li Er looked at the poems and essays in his hand, and he stroked his short beard from time to time, his face full of pride and comfort.
"Hahaha, it's true that I am worthy of being my daughter. This poem is no less than that of any man..." Speaking of this, His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Chengqian with a "magical" look, which made the latter very angry!
What does it mean? Can that stinky girl Li Lizhi be better than me? We are just humble and unwilling to show off, otherwise... the poems and lyrics recited in elementary, junior high and high schools in later generations... Well, it seems that I can't compare to Li Lizhi's girl than the original self!
...
The matter was very obvious. His Majesty Li Er also knew that Li Li was dressed as a man to take the imperial examination.
But it’s not surprising. After all, if they didn’t know about this, how could Li Lizhi easily get the exam qualification?
Moreover... the father and son not only knew that Li Lizhi secretly participated in the imperial examination, but also tried every means to help her. For example... Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda's conversation about the question "Prince Yong" was not for Li Chengqian's instructions in advance, and if Li Chengqian had not given such a confidential topic, how could the guards let Li Lizhi approach Li Chengqian's study without any obstacles?
...
Li Lizhi, who had already been completely exposed and had no idea about her affairs, was standing outside the Censor's Mansion with anticipation. She was accompanied by Wang Xuance, a group of candidates who took the Jinshi exam, as well as many people watching the fun - they were all waiting for the first Jinshi exam to be released!
"I don't know if I can pass this time successfully... Alas, I really didn't expect that the question I thought was very simple would actually say so much."
"It seems that Brother Liu also thought that the first topic was to praise the current crown prince?"
"Yes, at that time, I only thought that the current crown prince was not knowledgeable enough, and subconsciously thought that the topic of "Pengle Prince" was his joke. Who had ever thought... Who killed Qiandao said that the crown prince was not knowledgeable?"
"Brother Liu, don't be discouraged. There is nothing wrong with chanting the current crown prince. There is no rule in the title that says that the current crown prince cannot be written..."
"Oh, you don't know anything. This time, just like me, I simply thought that the title was to celebrate the current crown prince. At least half of all the candidates... I learned from a fellow villager that the content of this paper was written about the current crown prince. Unless the poems and essays were indeed excellent, they would be considered unqualified! Even if the qualified ones were ranked unlimited!"
"Brother Liu cares about the rankings. As long as you can pass this first game, the ranking... Haha, it has nothing to do with us!"
...
Without surprise, most of the candidates who were happily discussing the simple test questions here a day ago were worried at this time, and the topic of discussion also became a trap in the topic "Prince Yong"!
But they can't change the test results even if they regret it...
Li Lizhi stood in the crowd, not looking around like yesterday, without responding to the discussions of everyone. Instead, she tiptoed to the wall of the Censor's Mansion ahead, where the list texts were posted for a while... She was not nervous or nervous during the exam yesterday, but when she came here today and waited for the first exam results to be announced, her heart was completely confused!
Nervous, expectant, uneasy, anxious, worried... I feel mixed in my heart and my mood is very complicated!
Wang Xuance looked at Li Lizhi's performance from the side and couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Brother Li, don't be impatient. With the poems you wrote, you will definitely pass smoothly!"
He didn't expect that Brother Li was very calm before the exam yesterday, but today he seemed so restless... But it was reasonable. Even if he didn't care about the scientific test results at all, he was a little nervous at this time!
Li Lizhi paused slightly and said calmly: "I'm not anxious. I just want to know who can win the first title in this first game!"
"Haha..." Wang Xuance smiled faintly, and continued, "I think Brother Li is likely to win the first place in this game!"
"Me? Stop joking. If I could get this name, then you men... I mean, how could I compare to you?"
"Brother Li is too modest. Brother Li's poems and essays are inferior to himself!"
After the exam yesterday, Li Lizhi was going back to the palace, and Wang Xuance also wanted to go back to the inn where he was. It was just right, so the two left the Censor's Mansion together and made an appointment to come to see the list together today... Of course, Li Lizhi would not tell Wang Xuance that he lives in the palace!
On the way back yesterday, the two of them exchanged their answers. Wang Xuance was surprised by the poems and essays written by Li Lizhi, and was also extremely impressed by his literary talent!
Chapter completed!
