That night.

Wang Sheng had a banquet with everyone, and then Du Rui and Jiang Tong left.

Later, Wang Dun and Wang Dao also sent envoys to explain the reason why they had no time to come here, and expressed their guilt.

Of course, there are many things to do for the two talented people of the Langya Wang family.

No powerful person has time to spare. Wang Sheng was particularly impressed by this.

Wang Sheng also expressed his understanding of this.

After saying a few polite words to the envoys, Wang Sheng let them go back.

When Jiang Tong and Du Rui returned home, Wei Jie stayed in Jingu Garden because he would ask Wang Sheng for advice tomorrow.

In fact, this is not the first time that Wei Jie has stayed in Jinguyuan.

Because he has been to Jingu Garden many times, Wei Jie is quite familiar with Jingu Garden.

Especially Wang Sheng's study, which is extremely familiar.

Wang Sheng's books are well organized and organized, which makes Wei Jie envious.

Then after returning home, Wei Jie also tried to do this, and during the process he also discovered a book that he had not read before.

It will be much easier to find books later.

"Your Majesty, I wonder why you are recruiting people from poor families? Today I read their views on Confucian classics, but in the end, they are still not as good as those from high families."

Is not this nonsensical?

Wang Sheng rolled his eyes at Wei Jie and said: "Children from poor families, some of whom don't even have a few books, how can they compare to those from aristocratic families who read books every day?"

"Even if you know this truth, why do you only recruit children from poor families? Why don't you recruit high-ranking families? If you want to farm, you must have the help of knowledgeable people. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it with just these few poor families."

It’s really difficult!

Wang Sheng sighed in his heart and continued: "It's just that if I recruit a high-ranking member of the family, I'm afraid His Majesty will be jealous."

"I come from a poor family, and His Majesty wants me to be a lonely minister. He doesn't want me to have too many connections with high-ranking families. If I recruit people from high-ranking families, wouldn't it be against His Majesty's wishes?"

"this..."

Wei Jie also had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Once the matter has something to do with the emperor, it will not be so easy to handle.

"I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for the prince to farm this time. Furthermore, the prince chose Yingchuan and Xingyang, the county where the noble family is located. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Wang Sheng laughed and said: "Brother Shubao, I don't need to worry about this matter. Although I am from a humble family, I pride myself on being as capable as those from a high family. Even those people ridiculed me, and I ridiculed them back, leaving them speechless.

Speechless."

The best way to deal with a troll is to troll better than he does.

Zhuge Liang was the biggest troll in the Three Kingdoms, why couldn't Wang Sheng be the biggest troll in the Western Jin Dynasty?

This thought is quite touching.

"That's all, I have to ask for advice tomorrow, and I won't have time to spare. Brother Shubao, it's better to go and rest soon."

Wei Jie's health has never been very good.

It's better not to let him do this thing of staying up late.

"That's fine."

Wei Jie nodded slightly.

"Why don't you come with me to my mansion after recruiting talents?"

"I'm afraid not."

Wang Sheng joked about Wei Jie.

"I'm afraid we won't have enough people recruited by then, and I won't be able to spare a moment, so I'll have to wait for another day."

"It seems that my hard work today and tomorrow has been in vain."

The resentment in Wei Jie's words cannot be concealed.

"Hahaha."

Wang Sheng laughed twice and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely go when I have time. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with."

"I still believe Xiao Langjun's words." A smile finally appeared on Wei Jie's face.

After chatting with Wei Jie for a while, the latter, led by the maid, went to the guest room specially designed for Wei Jie.

The reason why it is said that Wei Jie is specially placed is because Wei Jie often comes to Jingu Garden.

We came more often and stayed more often, so naturally this guest room was reserved for Wei Jie.

When the guards left, Wang Sheng stretched himself and went to rest.

Tomorrow's question for asking questions has already been published. Now, all we need to do is to be energetic.

When he returned to his bedroom, a beautiful woman had already warmed the bed. The bed was warm and fragrant, and Wang Sheng soon fell asleep.

.......

The next morning, it was bright and clear.

Wang Sheng got up early.

Of course, those who got up earlier than Wang Sheng were those from poor families.

In fact, those people had sleepless nights.

Just like when future generations are facing the national or college entrance examination, the excitement in their hearts is accompanied by anxiety, and their brain nerves are highly active. It is simply impossible to fall asleep quickly.

"Brother Fu, good morning."

"Pei Langjun, morning."

When Fu Qing saw Pei Xing being greeted, he also saluted.

The morning color of Jingu Garden is also very beautiful.

Especially in the hearts of Fu Qing and Pei Xing at this time.

This is the most beautiful place in the world.

"How did Brother Fu answer the ten questions yesterday?"

Today is the second test for Marquis Guangyuan. With Marquis Guangyuan's temperament, even Pei Xing can't guess what Marquis Guangyuan will take the exam for next.

Instead of guessing and panicking, it's better to relax and relax.

"Among the ten classics, I have written three, "Book of Changes", "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan", and "Chun Qiu Gong Yang Zhuan". As for how well I wrote it, I think it is not very good, but among everyone,

I’m afraid my little literary talents are too good to be true.”

Fu Qing has some reputation and prestige among people, which is also based on his literary talent.

"I wonder what Pei Langjun wrote?"

Pei Xing looked very confident.

"It is written in all ten scriptures."

"oh?"

A look of surprise appeared on Fu Qing's face.

Although he knew that Pei Xingcai was outstanding in learning, he didn't expect him to be so good.

"Has Mr. Lang ever read those books?"

Pei Xing nodded slightly and said: "I have read all these books. Although I come from the Wenxi Pei family branch, as long as I borrow books, I will still borrow them."

This is the role of a big family.

Even if you are a side branch, it is very possible to come into contact with knowledge.

When Fu Qing heard this, he could only feel envious in his heart.

For a while, everything felt a bit cold.

After the silence, Pei Xing had no choice but to look at the surrounding scenery.

It was not yet sunrise, and the sky was a little bright. Looking up, Pei Xing could still see a few stars scattered in the deep and pale sky.

The ground is dark, the sky is completely white, the wild grass is trembling slightly, and everything is shrouded in mysterious light.

A skylark seems to have joined the stars, singing in the extremely high sky, and the vast sky seems to be holding its breath to listen to the carols sung by this little life for the boundless universe.

Looking up to the east, the dazzling Taibai Star is hanging on the top of the hill.

Gradually, dawn has arrived.

The rays of dawn gradually revealed purple, blue, and green colors.

The rising sun reveals its first rays of light.

In an instant, the fireball soared into the sky; the place where you stared was covered by the clouds. The light and shadow changed in a thousand ways; hundreds of light beams shot down from the space.

The earth immediately lit up, and the scholars who had been up all night also walked out of the guest rooms.

The servants from Jinguyuan brought breakfast.

Everyone ate all kinds of novel breakfasts, and of course they were amazed.

But it's just a surprise.

Everyone's attention is still on the next school entrance examination and the list of candidates who will be announced soon.

finally.

The moment has arrived.

Returning to the courtyard, the poor scholars found three people standing on the original high platform.

Two of them look like young men, and one is a middle-aged scribe whom I met yesterday.

"Yesterday, when asked about the classics, the ones who passed were: Sun Xin, Tongyi Jing."

As soon as he finished speaking, among the poor men, a middle-aged man in blue shirt blushed and looked very excited.

The scholars around him congratulated him one after another, but at the same time, the smiles on their faces also showed a bit of hope.

Since he passed, can I pass?

Zhang Bin's words actually did not pause, and the following words were also spoken slowly.

"Zhang Dachang, understands one classic; Peng Zheng, understands two classics; Lu Wen, understands one classic; Fu Qing, understands one classic; Pei Xing, understands ten classics; Zhang Jian, understands two classics..."

After reading the names of the ten people, Zhang Bin closed the silk paper in his hand and explained to the scholars present that he had finished reading.

In other words, only so many people passed.

Pei Xing's face turned red, and he knew he had passed.

Or the Ten Classics.

No one present is his opponent!

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally there were no mistakes.

Other people who had passed it were also very excited, as if they were falling from the clouds, and they were floating like feathers and ascending to immortality.

But those more than a hundred people whose names were not read felt cold in their hearts.

It was early spring, and the weather was already getting warmer, but everyone felt that it was even colder than winter.

The first is silence.

But after a brief silence, there was a noise even more harsh than the market.

"Why are there only these ten people?"

"Why didn't I pass?"

"Yesterday I wrote thousands of words, it's impossible to fail."

"There must be some inside story."

"By the way, the one who knows the Ten Classics is a member of the Wenxi Pei family. He is not a child of a poor family at all, but a descendant of a high family."

.....

At first it was a feeling of injustice for myself, but what followed was jealousy.

Pei Xing has mastered the Ten Classics and is like a firefly in the dark night, so dazzling.

In addition, he usually felt proud to hear that Pei was born.

Suddenly, he became the target of public criticism.

The previous words about the prosperity of both sides and the loss of both sides were also thrown away by those disgraced scholars.

But I don't want you to think about it.

Sometimes, human nature is like this.

As the voice got louder, Pei Xing's face gradually turned dark.

He didn't expect things to turn out this way.

"quiet!"

On the high platform, Zhang Bin roared, his face looking very ugly.

A poor family is a poor family. Not only are their talents inferior to those of high families, but their temperament is also the same.

"Regardless of whether he is from a high school, what can he do? Are all of you talented and knowledgeable, who can surpass him? Instead of being angry here, it is better to study hard and defeat him in the future. This is the right way, not in

The barking dogs here are really annoying!”

Zhang Bin's words made the poor people in the audience even more ashamed and angry.

"The so-called recruitment of talents by Marquis Guangyuan must have a shady secret. Although our talents and learning are not obvious, we are still talented. There is no way we can fail this first hurdle."

"hehe."

Zhang Bin sneered.

"You don't want to put gold on your face. You have no talent and very short-sightedness, so don't pretend to be a great scholar. We reviewed this together with Jiangtong Du Ruiweijie and the owner of Jinguyuan. Do you think you

Can your talent and learning surpass any of them?"

As soon as Zhang Bin spoke, the people below didn't know how to refute.

This all involves Marquis Guangyuan.

It should be noted that Marquis Guangyuan's reception on this day was extremely considerate. In addition, this was the master's family and Marquis Guangyuan had great power, so naturally no one dared to really offend him.

"Since this recruitment is involving members of a poor family, the one who likes the Pei family will not be able to pass."

"Yes, you can't pass!"

"Can't pass."

....

When one person speaks out, everyone responds.

Pei Xing's face was livid at this time.

"you..."

Zhang Bin's anger level is full again.

He was very angry yesterday, and now that he saw the so-called humble scholar in this state, his anger became even more intense.

"Sir, don't be angry."

At this time, Wang Sheng spoke.

"Everyone has said that after hearing about Pei Xing's liking for the Pei family, I asked this prince to ask him personally."

Everyone knew that the gentleman in front of them was Wang Sheng, and they nodded quickly.

"With your words, we can rest assured."

On one side, Pei Xing looked a little ugly.

"Where is Pei Xing?"

Wang Sheng asked.

"Pei Xing is here."

Feeling dissatisfied and mixed with a little fear and worry, Pei Xing still stood up.

"Are you Pei Xing?"

Wang Sheng lowered his head and watched.

This person is relatively well-dressed among the others, and his appearance is also excellent.

"That's it."

"Everyone is saying that you are the one who heard about the Pei family, but?"

Phew~

Pei Xing took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"I am indeed descended from the Wenxi Pei family, but it is a side branch and is not recognized by the master's family."

He could borrow books, but he couldn't enter the Pei family ancestral hall, nor could he enter the plaques of his father and mother.

"Look, sir, he has already admitted it."

As soon as Pei Xing spoke, the voices of the poor men immediately rose up.

"Since you are from a high-ranking family, even if you are from a side branch, it is the same. Today I am recruiting children from a poor family, and you are not one of them."

"But..."

Pei Xing looked miserable and his mouth was dry.

He looked at Wang Sheng helplessly.

"But I have already passed it."

"I know."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly and then said: "Liu Yong."

"My subordinate is here."

"Place Pei Xing in Jingu Garden."

"promise."

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Pei Xing's face showed a look of ecstasy.

"Junhou, this, this is?"

"As a high-ranking queen, you are not allowed to participate in the next consultation, but I think you have some talents, so I will keep you here."

As soon as Wang Sheng finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, this is unfair, and I cannot accept it."

"I can't bear to wait!"

"I can't bear to wait!"

....

Looking at the groups of people below who were shouting dissatisfaction, Wang Sheng was no longer polite.

"Everyone, it's useless if you don't accept it. High positions are occupied by talented people. I come from a poor family. I rely not on my dissatisfaction, but on my own literary talents and wisdom. If I refuse to accept it, I will have the status and power I have now. Then you can do it too.

You can achieve my position, but in fact, you can’t do it.”

"Since you can't do it, don't be jealous, but take it as your goal and strive for it. This year I will recruit talents, and next year I will also recruit talents. You can copy the contents of the Ten Classics on your own. This is my gift to you and

I hope that when you return home, I will also give each of you two hundred coins, and I hope you will do your best."

Carrot and stick.

As expected, the voice of the poor scholar stopped.

"Liu Yong, take them down."

"promise."

Liu Yong led more than a dozen Zhuang Wei and arranged for the poor men to copy the Ten Classics.

At this time, there were only nine people left under the high platform.

Ask nine people for advice.

I'm afraid I won't get anything out of it.
Chapter completed!
