  Chapter 28 Guiding Light

  Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, and said calmly, "Oh? There is such a thing. It's just that the three scholars have no grievances with Fang Jifan. Why are they willing to submit and be played by Fang Jifan obediently?"

   Xie Qian said sternly: "It's a long story. According to reports, these three people worshiped Fang Jifan as their teacher."

   It is no wonder that I worshiped the teacher.

  Emperor Hongzhi said again: "But why are the three of them willing to worship Fang Jifan as their teacher?"

   "This..." Xie Qian hesitated: "There is no mention of it in this memorandum. Thinking about it, it might be coercion."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Then discuss it after checking the facts. Don't be in a hurry. If this kid is really harmful, I will never forgive him."

  Emperor Hongzhi helped Fang Jifan get over it, but he was still a little annoyed. This stinky boy is really worried. After the provincial examination is over, he should beat him.

  Then he smiled: "Speaking of which, the township examinations in other provinces are beyond your reach, but in Beizhili, I don't know. Who do you think will be the top this time?"

Liu Jian thought for a while, and said: "I heard that there is a scholar named Wang An in Baoding Prefecture, whose name is Jianren. This person is in Baoding. He is very talented. It is expected that this person must have won the top spot in the provincial examination in Beizhili today."

   "Jenren... this name is unique, recommend it with benevolence, um... good, good." Emperor Hongzhi had a heart of love for talents, and nodded repeatedly: "Then, when the exams open, the rankings will be announced."

  ...

  When it was still Mao, the sky was slightly bright, and the three of Ouyang Zhi wanted to bid farewell to En Mansion and go to participate in the township examination.

  Who knew that when he got Fang Jifan's courtyard, he saw that it was very dark there, and he would not get up early if he wanted to come to En Mansion, and in all likelihood, he was still sound asleep.

   Ouyang Zhi and the three looked at each other, and couldn't help shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

Then they each went out with Kaolan. Fortunately, Steward Yang was considerate of them. He got up early in the morning and prepared three small sedan chairs for them. If you set a high threshold, you can soar into the sky.

  The three of Ouyang Zhi could feel Guanshi Yang's kindness, and clasped hands and bowed to him: "Thank you."

  Guard Yang said with a wry smile: "My young master... Hey, please bear with me."

Ouyang Zhi also followed with a wry smile. His feelings for Fang Jifan are complicated. As scholars, he, Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen firmly believe in the heaven and earth monarchs, parents and teachers. They are teachers for one day and fathers for life. , and loves to mess around, but a teacher is still a teacher after all, and since he has worshiped a teacher, he has no choice.

  The so-called son does not speak of his father's faults, and his natural birth cannot speak of his teacher's faults.

  Guard Yang saw the embarrassment of Ouyang Zhi and the others, so he said empathetically, "Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck."

Hearing the title of the title on the gold list, Ouyang Zhi suddenly showed a look of depression. He didn't want to be named on the gold list, but in the past half month, the three of them have almost neglected their studies, and they only know how to do the stereotyped questions every day. In other words, he only knows these three questions, so he doesn't let you do it, but also asks you to study as a teacher, and then help you to think about the questions, won't you succeed?

   "Hey..." Ouyang Zhi sighed, "I hope."

   Saying that, the three got into the sedan chair.

  The process of entering the examination room went smoothly. When the three of them reported their names, the eyeballs of the officer in charge of checking the student status dropped. Obviously he had heard about Ouyang Zhi and the other three, and then he sighed, full of sympathy.

   When you enter the examination room, you will go to meet the great master, that is, the chief examiner.

  The chief examiner, Wang Aogao, was sitting in the Minglun Hall, and there was an officer outside who called out: "Ouyang Zhi, a student from Baoding Prefecture..."

   Upon hearing the word Ouyang Zhi, the examiner, who has always been ruthless and majestic, flashed a suspicion in his eyes. When Ouyang Zhi came in, he bowed down to him: "Ouyang Zhi, a student from Baoding Prefecture, has seen the great master."

  At this time, even Wang Ao actually softened his heart. He shook his head, looking at this scholar who had been tortured by the prodigal son, it was just a pity, and at the same time he sighed: "Let's take the exam."

Ouyang Zhi had a stick in his throat, and when he raised his head to thank him, he saw that the examiners and servants, big and small, were all looking at him with sympathy in their eyes. Went to the test shed.

From the beginning to the end, Ouyang Zhi had no hope for this exam. He sighed inwardly and raised his eyes, only to see an acquaintance in the exam booth opposite him. It was his fellow countryman, Wang An, who was recommended. Benevolence.

Wang An obviously found himself, and smiled at himself. This person is the head of the examination case of the Baoding Mansion Court. Ouyang Zhi refused to give up his classmate who was seriously ill, and even caused the two parties to break up unhappy.

  Wang An squinted his eyes and looked at Ouyang Zhi from a distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This Baoding talent showed a triumphant expression.

   It seems to be saying, look, I told you not to hang out with that tuberculosis ghost, what happened now, delayed your studies, and was tossed by this notorious villain in Beijing for a while, ten years of hard work, all in vain.

  Ouyang Zhi's face was livid, and he ignored him. Everyone has his own ambitions, and in his heart, he didn't regret his persistence.

  At this time, the sky was getting bright, and in the gray examination room, someone beat the gong, and then someone sang: "Let's put the question."

   As soon as the question was released, a guard wearing a red belt was patrolling the examination room holding an examination card.

  Ouyang Zhi took a deep breath, saw an officer coming holding a sign, he took a closer look, and saw that on the test card, there were a few big characters in vermilion paint: "Government of benevolence in today's time".

   It was like an electric current pouring down from the top of Ouyang Zhi's head.

  He thought he had read it wrong, so he quickly wiped his eyes, and when he looked again, it was indeed "Ren Governance in Today's Time".

  It was actually this question...

  He trembled, unable to control himself because of his excitement.

  Enfu...Enfu... Can you hit the problem like this?

  You must know that scholars in this era like to bet on questions the most. The so-called betting on questions is to guess what questions the examiner will ask based on the examiner's temper and temperament.

  Even some rich families will specially invite some great Confucian scholars to bet on the exams for their nephews. Of course, the accuracy rate of the bets is very low.

   Waiting until now, the chances of betting are even lower.

  Because at the beginning, the questions asked by the examiners were relatively stable, such as "learning and learning", "benevolent governance", etc., you can always bet on the right time.

  But now, the exam questions are more tricky than the last, and you won't be given any chance at all.

  Ouyang Zhi's heart was beating in his throat with excitement at this moment, the blind cat of Enfu met a dead mouse.

  This question, he has written countless times in the past half month, and he is already familiar with it and can no longer be familiar with it.

  With his eyes almost closed, he can solve the problem in more than a dozen ways.

Taking a deep breath, his mind started to work in an instant. Even with mediocre qualifications, it takes a day for others to finish an article. With the skills of a scholar, this tricky and weird question is easy and easy.

  So he quickly rubbed the ink, picked up the pen, dipped the ink, and wrote the pen, and then followed the pen quickly, appearing calm and calm.

When the exam was over, Ouyang Zhi came out with the test blue and joined Liu Wenshan. The three exchanged glances, but they still couldn't hide their excitement. Ouyang Zhi suddenly remembered something: "Enfu, go back and pay a visit to Enfu .”

   "Let's go." Jiang Chen also nodded hurriedly.

En Mansion is a scammer. They have already accepted this point, but returning to the pit is nothing more than their guiding light. Now they are eager to return, and they can only wish to spread their wings and go to thank the teacher for his kindness. .

  Unexpectedly, at this time, someone from behind said pantingly: "Brother Ouyang, how did you do in the exam?"
