Chen Hengzhi, who had already returned home, didn't know that when he was in the exam room, he just glanced at Hong Yi, but made Hong Yi feel confused and failed the scientific examination, causing a slight change in the fate of the protagonist of the world.

But I don’t know whether this will be good or bad!

………………………………………

On the other side, in the tribute court.

In the examination room, there were several examiners wearing official uniforms and black hats sitting. One of them was sitting in the hall. He looked serious and looked about forty years old. He was the chief examiner Li Shenguang, who was the second-rank official of the dynasty, and the Minister of Rites.

Although this is just a provincial examination for scholars to pass the imperial examination, and not a general examination for scholars to pass the imperial examination, it is naturally extraordinary because it is a scientific examination within the Yujing City, and the imperial court attaches great importance to scientific examinations.

Moreover, when scholars reached the level of juren, it was related to the privilege of tax exemption for gentry, so Emperor Yang Gan sent a senior official of the court as the chief examiner of this examination.

At this time, the imperial examination was over, but the examiners were nervously correcting the test papers overnight.

Of course, Li Shenguang, as the chief examiner, does not need to do it himself. He just needs to sit by and drink tea leisurely, waiting for the result to come out.

"Well? Do you guys recommend the test papers?"

After three rounds of tea, Li Shenguang stroked his long beard with his hand and asked several deputy examiners sitting on the left and right.

This is because the examinee's test papers are initially selected by the examiner, and those whose papers are not complete, posting, and ink meaning are wrong, and then the winner is presented to the examiner for rating.

To put it bluntly, it is like the modern society's test paper correction, fill-in-the-blank questions, multiple-choice questions, and judgment questions. Whether it is correct or not is naturally clear at a glance. Only the subsequent composition questions have certain subjective judgments.

Each examiner has a recommended place, and you can submit the test paper you like directly and recommend it to the examiner.

However, they also have to bear corresponding risks. If the candidate is involved or cheated afterwards, the recommended examiner will also be punished with joint and several liability.

Therefore, every examiner will consider it carefully and then consider it.

At this time, the chief examiner Li Shangshu spoke, and the left and right deputy examiners immediately stood up and inspected the paper rooms, so that the examiners who corrected the test papers would recommend a batch of excellent test papers in this imperial examination.

After a while, a few people walked out with a bunch of test papers and spread them on the table for the examiner Li Shenguang to check it out.

"Well? This article talks about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and law. It seems to be upright and upright, but it is strong and strong, but it is close to be kind. Those who talk about the great truths in their mouths are all hypocrites."

With the light, Li Shenguang narrowed his eyes and read several articles in a row, but shook his head and pulled the articles aside.

The deputy examiner next to him also came over to see it, shook his head, and threw these test papers into the basket under the table, which was decided to be dropped.

"Hmm? Good words! What a pity, what a pity..."

Suddenly, Li Shenguang saw an article with vivid and beautiful handwriting and immediately exclaimed.

But when I saw it behind, I shook my head.

However, because Hong Yi was influenced by Chen Hengzhi at that time, his mood was shaken, and there were some flaws at the end of the Sutra Book, which had become less perfect.

This article by Hong Yi is naturally what he likes to be the chief examiner. He talks about his heart-to-heart learning, no wonder Li Shenguang applauds.

Moreover, Hong Yi's font is imitating the calligraphy of ancient sages. The handwriting left behind gives people a light and comfortable feeling, but it is not the kind of font that is charming and soft. It can be said to be a combination of hardness and softness and full of vitality.

“What a pity…”

Several deputy examiners came forward after hearing this. When they saw this, they shook their heads and felt very regretful.

"Look at it quickly. Whose name is this candidate? Where is his or her? Report his resume."

Li Shenguang shook his head and put the test paper aside. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked up and said.

"This son is named Hong Yi, and he is the son of Lord Hong, the Marquis of Wuwen."

On the side, the deputy examiner who was prepared had immediately reported Hong Yi's resume.

"The son of Wu Wenhou Hong Taibao?" Li Shenguang frowned.

"Mr. Li, be careful. Marquis Wu Wen was named Grand Tutor by His Majesty yesterday, and his title will be changed in the future." A deputy chief examiner reminded Li Shenguang.

"The tiger father has no dog son, and he is worthy of being the son of Grand Master Hong. It's a pity that he can only take the exam next time!" Li Shenguang shook his head and said.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, but they didn't know whether it was a pity that Hong Yi failed the exam or that he sighed that he could not take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Li Shenguang set his sights on the test paper again and continued to read one by one.

"Hey! This is a good one!"

Li Shenguang exclaimed in surprise and read it carefully. This test paper is naturally Chen Hengzhi's. His classics are stable and not out of line, but the overall idea is to tend to be the school of mind learning.

"You guys can take a look!"

Li Shenguang handed the test paper to his left and right and let them circulate it.

After reading all the test papers, Li Shenguang took Chen Hengzhi's copy and asked everyone on the left: "Since there is no better winner, then I will set this paper as the first name in this provincial examination. Do you have any different opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads and expressed their no objection.

At this moment, suddenly, a yamen soldier outside sang: "The Grand Master Hong is here."

"Hurry up and welcome, the chief master Wen Zai, and the Marquis of Wu Wen was named the Grand Tutor yesterday. Today's scientific examination must have been accepted by the emperor's will and came to inspect the examination room."

Li Shenguang quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and led the deputy examiners from each room to greet him outside the door.

Sure enough, a large sedan chair was lifted from outside the door, and then Hong Xuanji was wearing an official uniform and his face was solemn.

Li Shenguang hurriedly led the deputy examiners to bow.

Hong Xuanji is now the Grand Tutor and is ranked among the third Duke, which is equivalent to the prime minister's official position, which is higher than Li Shenguang, so these people naturally have to welcome them.

"Is this provincial examination still going well? Is there any fraud?"

Hong Xuanji nodded and asked after these people bowed.

"There is no entrainment, nor is there any fraud."

Li Shenguang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then pointed his hand: "Master Hong, please move to the examination room to speak."

After both parties arrived at the main examination room, they sat down and served tea. After a series of polite official rules, Hong Xuanji sat on the main seat, glanced at the papers on the table, and asked, "Have you decided on the first name?"

"Yes, this matter has just been decided, and Grand Master Hong is here." Li Shenguang took out Chen Hengzhi's test paper and laid it on the table for Hong Xuanji to watch.

"Hmm? Is this the first name?"

Hong Xuanji watched for a moment and frowned and asked, "He found that although this article was well written, it was a theory of the Heart Scholar, which made Hong Xuanji, a Neo-Confucian school, very displeased.

With his frown, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became tense!

The deputy examiners felt an invisible pressure and couldn't breathe.

There was no sound in the whole house, and the sound of coughing could not be heard.

"The font is so arrogant and sharp, which shows that he is not at ease."

Hong Xuanji shook his head and rejected: "And this article is not smooth. Some places are simply nonsense. Not to mention being the first name, it is difficult to pass the imperial examination. Where is this person's resume? But this person's qualification for the imperial examination will never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination in the future."

As he said that, Hong Xuanji picked up the paper and threw it into the pile that was falling into the rolls.

"Um?"

Seeing this situation, Li Shenguang's brows leaped violently, and blood suddenly slapped on his face, and suddenly slapped the table.

Bang!

In an instant, the pen and ink on the table shook to the ground.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy, but Li Shenguang's sudden slap shocked the deputy examiners present!

Several people's legs and feet became weak and almost fell to the ground!

No one expected that this Shangshu suddenly slapped the table at the Grand Master of the current dynasty!

"Hong Xuanji, I am the chief examiner here, you are just a patrolman. Although I am the best in the official position, I have no right to determine whether the test paper is good or bad!"

Li Shenguang's roar resounded throughout the room: "It is a private matter between you and me, but you should not use this as an excuse to disrupt the national talent ceremony. If you are not upright in your mind, you will not be able to promote the country's wise men. This is a villain's behavior!"

"Um?"

Hong Xuanji stopped his hand, looked at the roaring Li Shenguang coldly, and snorted: "This person's test paper is based on the study of the mind. He only knows how to talk big and do nothing to govern the country and useless to the people. What's wrong with my Taishi's test paper? As a court official, you are rude on the spot. I will definitely study your book tomorrow. You will withdraw now!"

When Hong Xuanji said so coldly, a biting chill suddenly arose on everyone's body. They all knew that Hong Xuanji joined the army as a general and killed people like a slut, and he would never be ruthless in dealing with political enemies. There were very few people in the court who could fight against him.

Hong Xuanji was full of thought that Li Shenguang was going to get rid of the donkey, and this matter was settled.

But Li Shenguang didn't know that, but he refused to give in and shouted: "I am now the emperor's chief examiner of the provincial examination. You have no right to ask me to withdraw! Whether to participate in my first book is your Taishi Hong's business! The court will not withdraw me for one day, but I will be the chief examiner for one day! I will also participate in your first book tomorrow morning court! I will participate in your own book! I will overstep your authority! You are a villain! You are a villain! The emperor uses you, but he uses the wrong person!"

"I am the emperor's oral order to inspect the examination room, which is the imperial envoy, and has the convenience of fully handling all matters."

Hong Xuanji said lightly: "Where is the left and right? Pull him down. I will report to the emperor about what happened today."

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two people came in from outside the door and were about to pull Li Shenguang down.

"Hong Xuanji, you dare!"

Li Shenguang widened his eyes and roared: "If you dare to ask me to retreat, I will fight against you, and you will try it. I will go out to collide with Jingyang Zhong, exiled for three thousand miles, and also fight against the imperial court case with you. Even if you are killed in the Golden Palace, you will fight with you to the end. If you have the guts, try it!"

"Crashing Jingyang Bell?"

When Hong Xuanji frowned when he heard that Li Shenguang was going to hit Jing Yangzhong, he immediately felt a little waxed.

The deputy examiner around heard the roar of the chief examiner and the Grand Tutor, and both shrank aside. This dispute can be said to be a school dispute, not a simple battle for first names, but a battle for ideas.

Hong Xuanji is a master of Neo-Confucianism, while Li Shenguang is a scholar of the Li Shixin School. These are two completely different paths and are almost contrary to each other. The dispute between the two is naturally normal.
