Chapter 418: The Emperor reads the case

Zhao Ji looked at the paper sent by Eunui Yu on Wansui Mountain. The name of the test paper has been pasted, and it is the running script on it. In order to prevent cheating, it was also a copy of it that was copied by the little official. Zhao Ji smiled and said to Yang Jian on the side: "In my opinion, this paper is probably written by Chen Ao."

Yang Jian knew nothing about the meaning of the scriptures. Seeing that His Majesty was in good interest, he also smiled and said, "How can Your Majesty see?"

Zhao Ji laughed and said, "Who else has this talent except him in the world? I didn't expect that the first big scripture sent was so interesting. I don't know what the test papers of Cheng Hui and others were."

As he said that, he raised his pen with great enthusiasm and drew a circle on the test paper.

Yang Jian was overjoyed. If this paper was really written by arrogance, the circle drawn by Your Majesty would not be able to escape the next two exams. After all, this is the Great Classic exam and the top priority of the imperial examination. Compared with the other two exams, the impact of the two exams is not great.

I have never eaten pork and at least watched the pig leave. I have accompanied the officials to participate in many imperial examinations over the years. How could Yang Jian not understand the mystery of it? The Great Sutra Book of Rites and Spring and Autumn, especially the Book of Rites, which records the words and deeds of the saints, which are the most important. As for the combination of scriptures and examination theories, they are just some of the contents of the Book of Songs and the Book of Zhou. In order to calculate, they can only be considered miscellaneous studies. Some schools do not teach them, but only teach them to memorize them. They are dedicated to spreading the Book of Rites, which shows the importance of the Great Sutra.

Chen Aoru passed the Grand Principle Test, and his qualification for the palace examination is almost certain. As his future father-in-law, how could Yang Jian not be happy? Although he had expected it, seeing the results with his own eyes is enough to be surprised.

However, Yang Jian was still a little unhappy and couldn't help but complain: "This guy, for some reason, wants to marry Miss Zhou again. If he continues like this, he still doesn't know how many wives he wants to marry. What are the things that this wife does to marry so many times?"

He was secretly complaining in his heart, a little dissatisfied; Yang Jian thought this way, because he was also thinking about Yang Zhen'er. His godfather is now addicted to being a human being and has already become a role. Every time he returns to the mansion, Zhenzhen is very well-behaved and will come to greet him and call him "Dad" to make him feel uncomfortable. This warm feeling has never been felt since he entered the palace.

In the afternoon, five or six more papers were sent. Zhao Ji looked at them one by one, and they all said something good, good, and the like. When he held the paper, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times and said with a smile: "If I guessed this article correctly, it should be Cheng Hui's test paper. Among the candidates in the world, the only one who can do the articles so smoothly is probably Cheng Hui's family. This person is a real talent, unlike that guy Chen Ao who only knows how to take shortcuts."

After hearing this, Yang Jian felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Chen Ao is not an opportune, even if that is, it is a unique opportune in the world."

Yang Jian's words made Zhao Ji laugh. Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You are talking about it. These two people have different literary ideas, but they are all extremely talented. They are rare in a century. I will be content with Enke this year to win these two people." Then he cheered up, picked up the red pen, drew a circle on Cheng Hui's scroll, and pointed a red dot on the other scrolls.

Circles represent excellence, while dots mean passing, which means that all seven or eight papers have been admitted.

These days, Zhao Ji is in a very good mood. Occasionally, he will give the test papers, or give it back, or make a circle. However, it is difficult to encounter a good paper that is as surprising as Chen Ao, as stable and outstanding as Cheng Hui. This is how people are. Once they have read more good things, their vision will be a little higher. After reading some excellent test papers, they can't help but compare the papers of the two. In this comparison, they feel that although these test papers are full of flowers, they always have fewer things.

It was spiritual energy, and Zhao Ji suddenly realized that whether it was Chen Ao or Cheng Hui, the two of them had a spiritual energy that seemed to be full of spiritual energy, but this kind of spiritual energy could not be said. Anyway, after reading their papers, the words may not be more gorgeous than other candidates, but they can always make people feel refreshed.

So the test papers sent later became terrible. Some of the obviously excellent articles were sent to the imperial case. Zhao Ji didn't think about it and directly called someone to send them back. This means that if you get a Jinshi, you don't think about it. At most, you can only give a Jinshi or give him a Jinshi.

But don’t underestimate this difference. They are also Jinshi, but these three Jinshis will have a great influence on their future career. Generally, officials with Jinshi and first-class backgrounds are reserve officials of two prefectures and three provinces. As long as there is no problem, they will always be able to enter the court in the future. As for the Jinshi, as long as they are willing to work hard, there is still hope of entering the court. The worst thing is that they are granted the same Jinshi. Not only can they not raise their heads in front of their colleagues, even if you have a higher position in the future, even if you meet those officials who are better than you in the exam, they can still not abandon you in terms of knowledge. And as long as nothing unexpected happens, if you put you out of a county magistrate or a chief clerk, you must basically be prepared to be in office for the rest of your life. It is a great kindness to be a county magistrate. If you can become a prefect, it will be considered a lucky fortune, and it is enough for you to be secretly glad.

Therefore, if those candidates who teach know that they are unable to get into the first echelon by Chen Ao and Cheng Hui, they are afraid that they will have the intention of killing people by drawing their swords.

After a few days, the examination and the examination was carried out as scheduled. However, no matter how excellent these papers were, they did not have to be sent to the palace. They were all subject to the examination. On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival was the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the last exam, the candidates went back to reunite.

However, these examiners no longer have the leisure to reunite, paper, copy, select papers, record, and seal the files. Although these things are orderly, they are too busy to stop. August 20th is an auspicious day. According to the rules, the release date will be on that day. In just five days, tens of thousands of test papers must be processed and archived and entered, but it is not easy.

Chen Ao finished the exam, stretched his waist and left the examination room. When he saw Liu Wen driving outside in a car, he went straight into the car. He was quite excited. He had been crazy about the exam these days, and he even forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival and had not even prepared gifts. So he taught Liu Wen to take him to Songzhufang first. This Songzhufang has a name, which is a bit like a street of antiques in later generations. The shops along the street are adjacent one after another, all of which are antique shops and pawn shops. However, this antique shop has a name, which is genuine and fakes. If you want to buy good goods, it depends on your eyesight.

In fact, most of these so-called antiques are collected from pawn shops or in the countryside, and the quality is different. If you suffer a loss and spend a lot of money to buy a fake, you deserve it. But if you have good eyesight and buy a good product for ten or hundreds of thousands of yuan, the store will never be hinted. It is all your love and I will do it.

The reason for this pattern was actually intentional. It is said that during the Kaibao period of the Tang Dynasty, an antique businessman came up with an idea. At that time, the antique shops invited many treasure appraisers to appraise for customers. Therefore, the sales were all real goods, but the business was not very good. However, later, the merchant came up with an idea and did not invite any appraisers. He just went to the countryside to collect a lot of porcelain bottles and ancient jade and placed them on the shelves to sell. Whether it was good or not, he could not tell whether it was all up to the customers to see. The business was surprisingly good, so everyone followed suit and followed suit. Now this pattern has been formed.

In fact, anyone who loves antiques will experience the process of obtaining antiques. If you get them too easily, you will lose some fun. It is better to buy them yourself, which is more suitable for your preference.

Chen Ao taught Liu Wen to park the car at the intersection of the street and went to see it one by one. When the shops saw Chen Ao dressed very well, they all came to introduce it to Chen Ao. Chen Ao just smiled slightly, took a few glances, and then ran to another house.

After walking around like this, there were not a hundred or eighty antiques I had seen. It took more than an hour to waste. Chen Ao stopped in front of an inconspicuous shop, picked up a diamond-shaped bronze mirror, weighed it in his hand, and asked the shopkeeper of the shop, "How much does this bronze mirror cost?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young Master, this is a bronze mirror from the Jin Dynasty, and it is also an antique of some years." He stretched out four fingers and smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"Six silos...so expensive?" Chen Ao took a breath.

The shopkeeper said seriously: "It's forty cents."

Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Look at the obvious sign of polishing this bronze mirror. Are you talking about the bronze mirror from the Jin Dynasty, deliberately trying to deceive me? Forty silos, you can sell it slowly." As he said that, he was about to leave.

A business like antiques is a huge price to pay back the money. Seeing that Chen Ao was about to leave, the shop quickly stopped Chen Ao and said with a smile: "If you like it, you can sell it to you."

Chen Ao turned around and thought for a while and said, "Siguan, I will pay at most this price. If you sell it, I will take it away now."

The shopkeeper stopped talking and said, "It was not the same price when we collected it. Young Master, your price is too low. How about adding a little more?"

Chen Ao left, and the shop looked outside. Seeing Chen Ao entering another shop, it took a full incense stick to come out. The shop shouted to him: "Six guan is four guan. If the young master likes it, the young man would rather be scolded by the shopkeeper, so he should make friends with the young master."

Chen Ao knew that this was a way for the shop to attract business, so he just laughed and took the diamond-shaped bronze mirror and passed the account, saying, "In my opinion, you can collect this bronze mirror at most no more than 500 yuan. This time I will think that you will cheat me once." After that, he raised his legs and left.

He met Liu Wen with a bronze mirror and asked Liu Wen to buy some gifts. He just returned home. Today, the Zhou Mansion was decorated with lights. Several servants with new plaques at the door saw Liu Wen bringing Chen Ao back, and said one by one: "Young Master Chou is back, haha, Young Master Chou has finished the imperial examination."
