Chapter 362

"If you want to talk about the old and young people of the country, please first talk about the old and young people. The elderly always think about the past, and the young people always think about the future. Only when they think about the past, they have nostalgia; only when they think about the future, they have hope. Only when they are nostalgia, they are conservative; only when they are hope, they are enterprising. Only when they are conservative, they are always old; only when they are enterprising, they are new..."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this opening. This writing style and such contrast are really refreshing, and the pen tip is extremely sharp and pointed directly at people's hearts.

Those who liked it still felt like drinking nectar, while those who disliked it felt like tasting yellow lotus. Looking at the clear expression changes of many ministers in the hall, Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips proudly.

Especially when those young and strong officials heard this, their feelings were a little different. They couldn't help but turn their eyes to the hall, and many old ministers.

Many ministers with gray hair and beards were either angry, calm, or sighed that they were young and crazy, and some were as intoxicated as Su Dongpo.

Most of these candidates were fascinated by the hearing and sighed with regret. What kind of guy wrote this? Isn’t it so awesome?

At this moment, Zhao Ji and Li Fu, who were flushed and full of excitement, couldn't help but secretly raised their thumbs to Wang Yang. Brother, you are so awesome, you are slapping the old rhythm in the face.

As for Master Wang, he smiled humbly and shyly when facing those two thumbs, as if he was a humble gentleman.

Gao Taotao, who was behind the thin curtain, heard the beginning of this, and his eyebrows that were no longer thick black suddenly rose, pursing his lips tightly, his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

But when Zhu Guangting read the middle paragraph, he found that this was not deliberately slandering the elderly, but using some vivid examples to illustrate the difference between the elderly and the young.

"...Wen, Wu, Cheng, Kang, and the youth of the Zhou Dynasty. You, Li, Huan, and Nan were the old age. Gao, Wen, Jing, Wu, and the youth of the Han Dynasty. Yuan, Ping, Huan, and Ling were the old age. Since the rest of the dynasties, there have been... "

Using people to describe the country, using the vitality of young people and the aging of the elderly to describe the national affairs and courts, such a clear comparison method seems a bit crazy, but it is not without reason.

The last inspiring and passionate words made Gao Taotao, who was no longer young, feel excited and feel lightly patted the previous desk and shouted softly.

It seemed that I felt something was wrong and I had to pursed my lips again. I became more and more curious about which candidate would be able to write such articles by then.

Could this be Wang Wushan's work? With such a question, Gao Taotao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

After Zhu Guangting read it expressionlessly, he handed the test paper back to the eunuch around him, and then returned to his position.

"Your Majesty, this article is catchy. I think it is a rare good article and should be the first to be the first." The person who stood up was a deputy examiner, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites who praised this article.

"Your Majesty, I think this person compares the old and the young, treating the old as an enemy. Such writing is really contrary to the national court's obedience to the elders and respecting the wise..."

"Mr. Zhao is so bad. I think this article is written very well. Although I am an old official, I also think that the country can only be strong if it is young and strong..."

No one expected that at least most of the officials present were people who had won the imperial examinations, but they had never seen it. For a piece of article, they actually sent two sects to argue in the court.

I couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Even if this article was finally taken down under the pressure of conservatives, the author of this article would probably become famous all over the world after today.

"Enough!" At this time, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, who was behind the curtain, finally couldn't help it. Can you, the ministers, have some shame?

All the candidates from the palace examination are here. You guys are all important officials of the country. You are not afraid of making jokes when you are so up and down.

Gao Taotao's angry voice roared, and finally suppressed the messy scene. After the ministers who were flying in spitting stars retreated to their respective positions.

Gao Taotao then asked the emperor calmly. "Since the imperial examination is the master of your majesty this year, it is better for your majesty to justify the sage..."

"Son son knows." Zhao Ji bowed to the figure behind the bamboo curtain, then turned around and walked to the imperial case to stand still, glanced at the civil and military ministers present, picked up a red pen, and landed on the test paper that had just become a market place.

After the emperor, according to his preferences, he pointed out the top scorer in the first class, second class, and Tanhua, and then divided the good and good ones into first class B, and then all the second class B.

At this time, Su Dongpo stepped forward and first took the second grade test paper of the B and the second grade test paper. After tearing the name of the test paper on the spot, he shouted out the name of the test paper...

Although every callee looked ecstatic, he soon came back to his senses and led by the little eunuch, he came to the hall. Soon, dozens of second-class students from the B-Class degree entered the hall and stood up.

After hearing his name, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel relieved and strode towards Wang Yang and Li Ju after a gala.

Immediately afterwards, there was another list of first-class candidates from the Department of Phone, and Li Yu was also listed here. This guy also bowed to Wang Yang with a proud look on his face and then strode away.

Wang Yang continued to stand there, looking calm and unstoppable, but in fact he was a little confused in his heart, not knowing what ranking the emperor would give him in this article?

After all, when the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao told the emperor that when he wanted to select talents fairly, he was already faintly warning.

This made Wang Yang feel a little regretful. It seemed that he should be here soon.

But unexpectedly, more and more candidates were called to stand in the hall, and fewer and fewer candidates were around him. In the end, only a few people were left, but they still had no name.

Wang Yang's little heart couldn't help but jump up wildly. Could it be that Zhao Xu really wanted to fight against the Empress Dowager at this time?

In the end, when there were only two surprises left by my side, the first-class students in the B-Chief were all here.

"Tanhua Zhao Shen, the Guiyou Department in the eighth year of Yuanyou..."

Another middle-aged man in his forties next to Wang Yang was so excited that his beard was shaking constantly, his teeth were clattering, and he almost fell to the ground. Wang Yang quickly helped him. "Congratulations, brother, you're not here soon, don't ask for your misconduct."

Zhao Shen nodded gratefully to Wang Yang, stood still, took a deep breath, then lifted his front and strode forward.

Wang Yang's heart is really fucked now, just like the volleyball in the hands of Junko Xiaolu in "The Female Volleyball Player", rising and falling.

"Bi Jian, the second-place winner in Guiyou in the eighth year of Yuanyou..." As Su Dongpo said this, everyone's eyes first fell on Bi Jian, whose face turned pale and turned red into Guan Gong, and then soon fell on Wang Yang, who was standing in the hall with the old god.

Wang Yang is actually really nervous now, and his head is almost buzzing. How come I am going to become the top scholar in the Song Dynasty?
