69, the right place and the right time and people

A stone startled a thousand layers of waves!

The court was silent and soundless.

The Prime Minister Yin has been in charge of the prefecture exam for so many years, and it is not the first time that he has met a candidate who submitted the paper in advance. However, he has not seen many candidates with such confidence. The first problem before has proved that he is truly talented and knowledgeable, but the speed of handing in the paper is differentiated between geniuses and talents. Being able to submit the paper so quickly must be a person with agile thinking...

The tea cup he sent to his mouth was frozen for a while, then nodded, and signaled the clerk next to him to bring the test paper up.

"The last two questions are pretty good, but..."

After seeing the test paper, Yin was a little disappointed and thought that Bai Gui would give him many surprises, but he did not expect that the content of the test paper could not be mediocre, but it was not surprising. It was just that the writing skills were excellent and could reveal a solid foundation in middle school.

It can be called first-class, but not as amazing as before!

It shouldn't be!

The first question just now moved him, but the last two questions were a bit lacking...

There must be a reason.

"Your first question made me scream and call you forward. Now the two are ordinary, far less than the previous one, but Jiang Lang has enough talent? There is no good poem."

The prefect Yin put down the teacup and asked.

When Jiang Yan of the Southern Dynasty was young, he was known for his poetry and prose, and was known as Jianglang. Later, his poetry and prose were not as good as before, so he was called Jianglang's talent.

Bai Gui replied: "Your Majesty, the first article of my junior talks about Thai-Si diplomacy, and I dare to talk nonsense and make the adult smile. However, the two subsequent questions involved the political affairs of this dynasty. I had no agriculture, no reading of books, I didn't know the laws of Amei, nor did I know international public law, so I could only search for articles by people in the past, and I dare not speak well..."

He had already made a decision in his heart about these things.

It is well written in Lao She’s teahouse, so don’t talk about state affairs.

Although it is the policy of the government examination, and it is intended to select talents and serve as national talents, if you really dare to discuss politics, and you really have something to say about some political affairs, will the magistrate, governor, or the current Emperor Xuantong really appreciate it?

I'm afraid not!

Young people who are too sharp need to be tempered!

Throughout history, why did famous writers find it difficult to become officials? They just don’t know that writing articles requires three points of cleverness, and the dragon must regret it. Although articles can attract applause from Luoyang, paper is expensive, but those in power are inevitably disliked...

Prefect Yin was a smooth ruler. He could quietly put General Zhang on what happened just now. He could never be a person who used his talent to win a scholar.

He is young and has a poor family background, and is accustomed to observing his words and expressions.

This is the ability he has learned in the Lu family. His talent is getting stronger and stronger!

Bai Gui's meaning is very simple: the first question is about Taixi's affairs, which has nothing to do with state affairs. No matter what, he answers, it will just make you smile. But the two questions behind are related to the national and civil plans, so I dare not answer them without authorization, so I can only pick some things from some articles answered by my predecessors.

"Young people, it's better to be more arrogant. I'm not often seen young people as steady as you." After hearing this, Yin's expression was relaxed, and his evaluation of Bai Gui was vain. However, he still refused to give in. After all, this was the imperial examination for the government examination, and the rules were so determined that students could discuss politics. He could not praise this behavior in person.

"What the Master of the House is that, so I plan to travel abroad and gain knowledge."

Bai Gui's heart moved and he hurriedly replied.

This is an opportunity. Although Fujino Hachihei is already applying for an expansion of the quota for public funds to stay in Japan, it is still a bit difficult to rely on just a Japanese lecturer. If you have the permission of Yoon Prefect, this matter will not be difficult to handle.

There is a difference between staying in public and staying in self-paid Japan, and it is not only a matter of money.

“Foreign?”

"You are writing Japanese in this translation, right... are you planning to stay in Japan?"

Yin Fuzun was interested. Although he couldn't understand the Japanese articles, he didn't think the boy was writing randomly. He had just learned that this was General Zhang's student and that Japanese would never be bad.

"Yes, I'm going to study in Japan and take a look outside."

Bai Gui said.

Prefect Yin picked up the red pen and drew four red circles on Bai Gui’s two strategies, then nodded and said, “I have already taken your article, just go home and wait for the news…”

Although there are still several subsequent exams, as long as the first one is passed, the next few are randomly tested.

"My younger brother, thank you!"

Bai Gui bowed respectfully, then turned around and picked up the test basket from the desk, and walked towards the dragon gate from the court.

And at this moment, it is sunset and dusk, and the west mountain is dusk.

...

Late at night, when the gantry door closed and the candidates who walked out of the examination room dispersed one after another.

In court.

Yin Fuzun, several teachers, as well as his confidants, were reviewing the papers.

"The Master of the Mansion, there are twenty-three volumes in total, eighty-nine volumes in the middle, and three hundred and four volumes in the second volume. Other test papers or papers are not avoided, and they have not been scammered about current affairs, and they have all been dismissed..."

A clerk pointed to the three major overlapping test papers that had been put into place.

"People who enter the imperial examination from higher education will inevitably emphasize practical learning and neglect classics. They have fallen into these old Confucian scholars in writing, calligraphy, and taboos. However, most of the strategies they write are meaningful, while some Confucian scholars write the words of saints..."

Speaking of this, Yin Magistrate also sarcastically said: "They are really continuing to take the eight-legged exams! Confucius can't control the Western, the Eastern one."

The nearby clerk and the teacher nodded and said yes.

The sea of ​​knowledge is endless. Those who specialize in middle school will inevitably be inferior to those who study in the West. Those who specialize in the West will inevitably be inferior to those who study in the West.

"We have demoted these things that cannot be integrated into both Chinese and Western styles to the second volume, while the middle volume is written in an orderly manner and well written, and the first volume is prominent in a certain aspect..."

The clerk said.

"Take these roll-ups to our mansion." Yin ordered.

He was busy with all kinds of things, so he could not read the test papers one by one. Except for the test papers he had taken the hall number, the other test papers in the examination room were selected by the clerk and the teacher and then presented to him.

The hall number is not only among the top ten in some county examinations, but also among some outstanding students from higher education institutions.

"No! It's too radical. This test paper cannot be selected. If he is a diplomatic ambassador in the future, he will definitely cause trouble for the country."

"No! This is too mediocre."

"No!"

After reading the twenty-three first papers, three or four test papers were finished. Now, the prefect Yin felt more and more how appropriate the article written by the boy this afternoon was, and there was a relationship with General Zhang...

Is it the head of the case?

At this moment, the master walked to the side of the prefect Yin and whispered: "Master, some family members are here."

The family members refer to the private residence of the prefect Yin. Although the government office has an official residence, it is inevitable that they are uncomfortable to live there.

Prefect Yin stood up, walked for a while, and after coming back, he wrote the word "一" in the blank space at the bottom of Bai Gui's test paper, and clicked it for the head of Xi'an Prefecture.

"Auspiciousness comes from the sky, it's interesting!"

"It's also a person from the Normal School..."

"There are all the right time, place, and people. If you don't click, who else should you click?"

Yin Zhifu shook his head, couldn't help but chuckled, and muttered to himself.

When he left just now, his family said that the magistrate of Zishui gave him a gift of 300 taels. He had just married a concubine a few days ago.
Chapter completed!
