"What? I'm taking part in the literary test policy review?" Wang Kang asked in surprise.

"yes!"

"The opponent is still Dong Qian?" he asked again.

Wang Dingchang nodded.

"This is also the condition proposed by their side, but why?" Wang Kang asked.

"Why did you say?"

Wang Kang was stunned, yes, what could be the reason? It’s not because he is a prodigal and doesn’t have any talent, so his chances of winning will be greater.

It's really shameless. It's already too much to propose the rule of three wins out of three, but it's still like this.

All the conditions for winning are tilted towards their side. This is not a competition at all, it is just a formality.

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang's angry look, sighed and said: "There is no need to think about it anymore, there is no point in being angry. Now that all parties have passed, the competition has been decided, and it will be held at the governor's office on the 20th of this month!"

"According to this, it only takes more than ten days, so you have to prepare well!"

Wang Dingchang said solemnly: "Dong Yiwu's eldest son Dong Qian is different from his second son Dong Hui. Although this son is not very old, he is good at scheming."

He took part in the imperial examination last year and passed the examination to become a tribute scholar. However, he stopped the examination for unknown reasons, but his literary talent and literary reputation are excellent."

"This is his great strength. He hides everything. In addition, most of the decrees issued by the governor's office in recent years are from this person, not to mention his policies!"

"It is reported that after this competition, Dong Qian will take advantage of the policy discussion to become an official and serve as the magistrate of Xinfeng County! He will preside over the exploration and mining of iron ore..."

After hearing this, Wang Kang asked in surprise: "Can a Gongshi be a county magistrate? You have to get a Jinshi anyway!"

"There are no nobles of the highest rank, and no nobles of the lowest rank!"

Wang Dingchang said with sarcasm in his eyes, these words will never go out of style!

Wang Kang understood. What he said sounded nice, but in fact it meant that if your family is noble, you can be an official.

"You work hard. As long as we win and get the fiefdom of Xinfeng County, dad will also let you be the county magistrate. After all, it is our own fiefdom. We have the final say..." Wang Dingchang slammed the table and said.

"If Dong Yiwu's son can be the son, why can't my Wang Dingchang's son be?"

Wang Kang:……

"But..." After a moment, Wang Dingchang seemed to be discouraged and sighed: "Martial Arts, if the painting competition is done properly, it is still possible to win, but the literary test..."

He looked at Wang Kang and shook his head helplessly.

"correct!"

Wang Dingchang seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly: "Kang'er, do you know what policy theory is?"

Wang Kang:……

"Probably... know something." Wang Kang said with difficulty. This cheap old man must have too little confidence in himself!

As a liberal arts student, how could I not know about policy essays? To put it bluntly, policy essays are articles that discuss current political issues and provide suggestions to the court.

After hearing Wang Kang's words, Wang Dingchang became even more discouraged. Looking at Wang Kang's expression, he just didn't know. He sighed lowly,

"Stop playing around these days. Go to the academy tomorrow. I have found a gentleman for you. He will teach you policy and theory. You can learn as much as you want! Besides, you haven't gone to the academy for a long time."

"Or..." Wang Dingchang paused and said, "Or go find the gentleman behind you."

"Mr. behind me?" Wang Kang asked doubtfully, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"On the day of the Oiran election, you wrote ten beautiful poems in a row and spread them all over Yangzhou. Didn't you pay someone to write those poems?"

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang and said.

It turned out that this was the case. Wang Kang was speechless. Even his father did not believe that he had done it himself. However, this was normal. Everyone knew the virtues of the prodigal son before.

Wang Kang didn't explain much. The more he explained, the more trouble he got.

"By the way, who came up with the topic of the policy discussion?" Wang Kang asked again.

"It was Emperor Zhao who came up with the question himself!" Wang Dingchang glanced at Wang Kang and said, "You don't want to ask the question first, do you?"

"How could it be? I'm just asking casually, why would I want to cheat?" Wang Kang shook his head.

"You didn't think about it, I did!"

Wang Kang:……

"However, this is impossible!" Wang Dingchang said solemnly: "Emperor Zhao is the king of a country after all. Even if he is biased towards us, he will definitely not do such a thing."

"No one knows the title. The royal guards will be brought there, and the county governor Luo Chuannan will be presided over. The court also doesn't know who will be sent."

"Well, I understand!" Wang Kang nodded.

At this time Wang Dingchang stood up and said, "We, father and son, have been talking for a long time. It's late at night. Let's go to bed early!"

"Father, please go to bed early."

Wang Kang turned around and prepared to leave.

"Kang'er!"

"Huh?" Wang Kang turned around.

Wang Dingchang walked over and patted his shoulder, "It's a bit embarrassing for you because your father knows about this. Dong Qian is indeed..."

"But things have come to this, there is no way, but you don't have to think too much, let alone feel pressure. If you lose, you lose. I still look down on Xinfeng County, even Emperor Zhao will not blame us... Do you understand?"

"Yeah!" Wang Kang looked at Wang Dingchang and nodded with a smile.

But he was thinking in his heart, don't worry, I will definitely win this competition and win the fiefdom for our family! As for Dong Qian... this is our first real duel.

I hope you...don't let me down too much!

After leaving the door, Liu Jin was waiting outside. When he saw Wang Kang coming out, he greeted him: "Master, what should we do with Cao Canjun?"

"Keep him locked up, but don't make him too comfortable, as long as he doesn't die." Wang Kang said solemnly: "Keep him, I will be of great use in the future."

"Yes, I understand! Liu Jin agreed and left.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Wang Kang thought to himself, since there is no need to go to Xinfeng County, Fuyang tabloid should hurry up and publish it.

I don’t know how prepared Lin Yuyan is.

As soon as he entered his small courtyard, Wang Kang saw two beautiful figures in the courtyard.

Li Qingman and Lin Yuyan.

Seeing that they were obviously waiting for him, he asked curiously: "What's the matter with you two?"

"Did Lord Earl tell you that I..."

The two of them said in unison at the same time, and Wang Kang was also a little confused. When did these two people have such a tacit understanding?

"You say that first..." Lin Yuyan said with some embarrassment.

"Miss Lin, let's talk first...you are Master Kang's fiancée." Li Qingman also said.

"You are still his confidante, you go ahead and tell me!"

Wang Kang was even more confused when he saw the two people giving way. Although the two people had never had any conflicts before, they could clearly see that they had insights into each other.

What's going on now? You know how to be humble now, but this is a good sign. Wang Kang was happy and said with a smile: "We are all family members. If we come into the house together, let's talk about it slowly."

"Who is your family member?" Lin Yuyan asked delicately.

"You still want us to be together? What do you want to do?" Li Qingman also agreed.

"I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to chat with you, discuss the philosophy of life and so on..." Wang Kang's face was full of innocence.

"I believe you, you idiot..." the two of them said in unison.
