Concubine [Slow Wear]

Therefore, this college test looks like a quagmire. Even if you get stuck in it, you will be able to climb out in the end, you will probably be covered in mud.

But what if the examiner knew about this in advance and changed the question before the start of the college exam? ! This kind of possibility is not non-existent, and if you really give up the academy exam this time, the next time will be three years later. How many three years can you spend like this in your life? Do you really want to make yourself wait another three years for an uncertain guess? !

Zhang Fangming pondered for a whole night. On the morning when the college test was about to start, he finally decided to give up this time. After all, if this matter was really unfortunate and he guessed it, then getting into it would most likely be ruining his own life. Zhang Fangming cannot afford to gamble on the future of his life.

It's a pity that he knew about it too late. Otherwise, he could at least find a way to write an anonymous warning letter to the yamen. Although this warning method is not so easy to operate, it's not very effective. It's hard to say, but at least there is still a chance for him to try to save some innocent people. Now, he can only ask for a self-protection.

In this hospital test, Zhang Fangming finally did not participate because of unbearable abdominal pain.

After the two fathers and sons returned to the village, they were naturally ridiculed because of this, especially Zhang Fangming's former aunt, who also ridiculed Zhang Fangming in front of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother for not being a scholar, and said that their family This time Yu will definitely bring her a scholar back.

Zhang Fangyu is the cousin of Zhang Fangming's former uncle's family. He has already taken the academy exam three years ago, but he has not passed it, so he also participated in this year's academy exam.

The second volume of stories ends with the smug and ugly face of the eldest aunt.

When Yinxiang turned back and turned to the book cover page, he almost became irritable. Fortunately, he still remembered that there were three follow-up volumes on the bookshelf, so he could barely comfort his irritable mood when he was attacked by malicious out-of-context attacks. The plot of this aunt's punishment has already been written.

With such a mood, Yinxiang pulled his mind out of the content of the words, raised his hand and stroked his forehead to ease his concentration. He glanced in Yinzhen's direction and saw that he was still concentrating on processing. He didn't bother him with the affairs at hand, and only lightly held the second volume of "Han Men Guizi" and walked towards the bookshelf.

Putting the second volume back, just when he was about to turn around after taking the third volume, Yin Xiang hesitated for a while, and greedily took the last two volumes in his hands.

After returning to his original position with three books in his hands, Yinxiang took a sip of the tea that was already cold, took the third book, opened the pages in a leisurely manner, and devoted himself to the world of words.

It is mentioned in the book that apart from the aunt's family, other village neighbors are somewhat gloating, but Zhang Fangming missed the exam due to physical reasons, not because he failed the exam, so Zhang's father and mother were ridiculed. There is not too much sarcasm, just watch the lively, fake-style consolation that you may encounter more.

However, in this situation, not long after the academy's trial list was released, there was a reversal. If Zhang Fangming expected, things were going in the worst direction.

Uncle Zhang's family, who had celebrated in the village earlier because Zhang Fangyu was on the list, had already made a mess at this time, because Zhang Fangyu had been taken away by the messenger last night.

The news in the village was blocked, and everyone didn't know what was going on. Someone from the 'contracting team' who had gone to the Fucheng to contract jobs came back and reported that they had heard that a large number of inferior students were kneeling in front of the Fuya gate to protest the injustice of the scientific examination. Ask the court to give them justice.

Now in the palace city, many officials and scholars have been arrested.

For the villagers, this news was just listening to the excitement of the scholars and the government. For Uncle Zhang's family, it was like a bolt from the blue.

The eldest aunt didn't understand how powerful it was, and she only cried that this was a mistake made by the gentlemen, what does it have to do with her Yu'er, why should she arrest her Yu'er!

Uncle Zhang and grandfather Zhang, who went to Fucheng to inquire about the news, were already full of sorrow. Uncle Zhang did not want to take advantage of his status as a scholar to take the path of the yamen, but in the first place, the matter happened in Fucheng. There is no ranking there. Second, this matter involves fraud in the field, and the imperial court takes it very seriously. It has already sent an envoy (imperial envoy) to come here, so let alone Uncle Zhang, the prefect who supervises this state and county. May not be able to intervene.

And the deposed envoy sent by the imperial court this time is Fang Xuanling, a well-known counselor.

Now, Uncle Zhang and Grandfather Zhang can only pray that Zhang Fangyu does not touch the leaked topic.

As for Zhang Fangming, who escaped the catastrophe with abdominal pain, although the villagers and his mother were rejoicing that he was lucky, in fact, he did not sit back and relax, because the imperial examination system at this time was three consecutive guarantees, that is to say , Even if he didn't take the exam, it is unknown whether he will be implicated by the other two people in Lianbao, but the situation was really urgent at that time, and he didn't have time to persuade the other two not to refer to it. Taking a ten thousand steps back, even if he had the time, the two of them might not have listened to his words. First, they didn't know each other. Second, they had different ideas and naturally different choices. Can a pack of laxatives settle them? ! This is not something that Zhang Fangming can do before he is not sure that things will develop as he expected.

Seeing this, Yinxiang also sweated for Zhang Fangming. Although he felt that Zhang Fangming was undecided, it was undeniable that he preferred Zhang Fangming with a more benevolent temperament.

After the arrival of the deposed envoys sent by the imperial court, the results of the disposition of the leaked questions in the academy test came out soon. Many candidates on the list were implicated, including Zhang Fangyu, who were all disqualified from the imperial examination for life. , Of course, it is not clear whether other people are wronged or not, but Zhang Fangyu belongs to the solid evidence. Before waiting for the college examination to start, he did buy a question and prepared the answer for the question in advance.

After Fang Xuanling came, he even used a test paper that was a little more difficult than the one in the academy exam to test the level of the arrested candidates. , it may be unfair to do so, because candidates who have learned well may not be free from fraud, but in Fang Xuanling's view, for students with good knowledge, fraud is not a must, and it is for them to leak questions in the academy exam. It's actually a disadvantage.

The purpose of Fang Xuanling's move is to protect those candidates who have good knowledge but may be innocently implicated. If there are some small tricks among them, then they can only be considered lucky, but I believe that after this adventure, these People are afraid that the color of Wenlu's title will change in the future.

And in this round of review, Fang Xuanling has relaxed the standards as much as possible, and if the wrong questions are wrong, as long as the writing is good enough and can be justified, he will pass them. The remaining candidates are Knowledge is really not enough, they can only wait to be censored, especially those who are on the list are the key censorship targets.

As for those who were not on the list and were arrested here, they were basically those who had been caught with evidence and evidence, so naturally there was nothing to say.

In fact, when he saw Fang Xuanling's name appearing in the text earlier, Yinxiang's heartstrings were faintly excited. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of Zhang Fangming, or the period of Tang Taizong, from Fang Xuanling's point. The magnificent picture scroll of the court officials.

This made him suddenly realize that perhaps after Zhang Fangming passed the jinshi examination, it was not the end of this book, but another exciting beginning.

This conjecture made him excited and happy, and he even looked forward to this book, the longer the better!

When he saw Fang Xuanling's method of deciding the case, he couldn't help but be impressed by the depth of Fang Xiang's thinking in the book. The wisdom revealed by this politician's thinking persuaded Yinxiang to believe that this was the case. Fang Mou Du Duan's house chief is gone, although he doesn't know what kind of person the house chief in history is.

And then, Zhang Fangyu was disqualified from the imperial examination, and even hit the uncle's family in the face, calling Yin Xiang, who had been angry with them before, reading it, there is a kind of great revenge, and the wicked have their own rewards. of pleasure.

However, the evil of the aunt's family obviously broke through Yin Xiang's imagination. Perhaps it was the fact that her son was disqualified from the imperial examination, which was a huge blow to the aunt. She even thought of the idea of ​​letting her son replace Zhang Fangming's identity.

Seeing that this evil woman had such vicious thoughts, Yin Xiang was indignant, but also sweated for Zhang Fangming.

The auntie came to the door and begged the father and mother Zhang, such a ridiculous idea, the father and mother Zhang could agree to it is the brains hole Come to put pressure on their family with filial piety.

Father Zhang didn’t understand, if his father was obsessed with fame, and now he could pass the test tomorrow, why did his father only see the eldest brother’s family? I can also take the imperial examinations! I can also honor my ancestors!"

But the answer he got made him completely disheartened by this father, "You have passed on to your cousin, and the one who shines tomorrow is not my family!"

When Father Zhang heard this, he couldn't believe it, and his heart was very sad. He never thought that his father would take him seriously as a family.

At this time, Zhang Fangming, who finally couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and helped his father, looked directly at Zhang's grandfather, and said, "Uncle's words are bad, if you really let Brother Yu take my identity, if there is a glorious day, you will be with my uncle again. What is the relationship between the family?!"

"Presumptuous! Boy An dares to be so unfilial!"
