This sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching, and is one of the strongest voices of the hundreds of schools of thought in the history of Ye Xingyuan's previous life. It really feels like using a ox knife to cut a chicken in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But first, Ye Xingyuan felt uneasy, and he couldn't help but burst out once in anger; second, it was because there seemed to be some will in the dark.

"Is the way of heaven like a bow? The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it; the more that there are more that damage it, and the less that there are not enough to make up for it. The way of heaven reduces the more that there are not enough to make up for it.

The way of man is not like this, and the loss is not enough to serve the excess. Who can serve the world with more than 100%? Only the way is the way? Therefore, the sages do not rely on them, and the success does not lead to the situation, so they do not want to see the wise."

Zhou Zhixian read the words in the test paper word by word, and his expression barely remained unchanged because this was an article written by the candidate he didn't like. But his heart was beating violently, and his knuckles that were holding the test paper began to turn white.

When the examiners saw this situation, they were also happy to see the hunting and wanted to crowd around Zhou Zhixian County. However, due to the dignity of the officialdom and the dignity of the county, they should not come up and gather together, so they could only endure it first.

"...I hope to say that it is natural. Therefore, the wind does not last long, and the sudden rain does not last long. Who is this? Heaven and earth. Heaven and earth cannot last long, let alone people?

Therefore, those who are engaged in the Tao are the same as Tao; those who are virtue are the same as virtue; those who are loss are the same as loss. Those who are the same as Tao are also happy to obtain it; those who are the same as virtue are also happy to obtain it; those who are the same as loss are also happy to obtain it. If you are the same as loss, you are also happy to obtain it. If you are the same as loss, you are the same as loss, you are also happy to obtain it. If you are the same as faith, you are the same as disbelief."

Ye Xingyuan told the story. The words he wrote seemed to be touched by the secret of heaven, and naturally emerged, more like Tianji using his pen to show this classic text to the world.

Zhou Zhixian was born as a Jinshi, so he would not talk about his character and political views. At least his knowledge is not easy, so he can naturally see his excellence. The more he does this, the less he can't let go.

Huang Dianli was far away and could not see the words on the test paper. He was a little confused, so he became frightened again. What did Ye Xingyuan write? Even a person like Zhou Zhixian seemed to be possessed?

"...The sky has to be high, the earth has to be broad, the sun and the moon have to be running, and all things have to be prosperous. This is the way! Moreover, there is no need to know what is broad, and there is no need to be wisdom when it is argued, and the saints will cut it off! If the saints benefit but do not benefit but do not damage it, it is the protection of the saints."

In the second half of the article, Ye Xingyuan's writing became more and more unrestrained. The momentum of this paragraph, combined with Ye Xingyuan's silver hook and iron calligraphy, was about to break the scroll and fly away.

To be honest, this kind of article is simply bullying people when putting in the county exam. Compared with other exam papers, it is even bigger, like the gap between Mount Tai and the Pebbles.

"The abyss is like a sea, and the Wei and Wei will start again after the end. We will transport all things without being scarce. Then the way of a gentleman is to go beyond it! All things are to go beyond it but not scarce. This way of a gentleman!"

Under the attention of everyone, Zhou Zhixian slowly placed Ye Xingyuan's test paper on the table in front of him, but pressed his hand on the article but did not mention it. He finished reading it carefully, and after reading it, he was speechless.

The reason why County Magistrate Zhou didn't speak for a long time was that he was worried that he would curse the streets as soon as he opened his mouth, which would ruin his majestic image. The impact of this article is so great.

This is an article made by a social student? When the saint of literature was sixteen years old, could it be written such an article? The essence and mystery in the article are very similar, and they are almost the same as the words of the saints in the classics!

The ranking of the county examination has always been by the chief examiner, that is, the magistrate, who is arbitrarily dictatorship, which is the power granted by the court! But at this moment, Zhou Zhixian felt that his power was infringed!

"Get the big seal!" Zhou Zhixian suddenly ordered. When the big seal was brought by Changsui, Zhou Zhixian picked up some magic tricks and spoke the truth. With a bang, he stamped a large seal on Ye Xingyuan's test paper questions!

The official position was banned! The examiners were shocked and couldn't help but exclaim. This was clearly the inspiration and content of Ye Xingyuan's article by using the official seal.

If the ban is not lifted, the person with lower official positions than him looks blank in this volume and cannot even see a word. In other words, it is impossible for anyone in this county to see this article again!

What exactly does the county master want to do? Everyone is puzzled.

Zhou Zhixian did not stop. After sealing the seal with the county's official seal, he took out his private Jinshi seal from his arms, rubbed it a little, and then covered it with a bang.

The position of Jinshi was less than 100 people in the country for three years, and he was a good talent who chose one out of ten thousand or even one out of one out of ten thousand. Therefore, people who were born in Jinshi were called Qingliuhua and became a true "people in the world".

The private seal of Jinshi, to avoid evil and filth, and to suppress demons, has infinite wonderful uses. Using the seal of Jinshi means that Zhou Zhixian attaches importance to this matter.

"There is a unique world in this article, which is difficult to explain and is inconvenient to spread easily. I immediately flew the book and sent this article to Beijing. Please check it out." Zhou Zhixian County's two bans seemed to have completely returned to its calmness, and his tone did not fluctuate at all.

The examiners suddenly realized that there were precedents in this matter. If a scholar’s ​​article was magical and mysterious in the imperial examination, the examiner would seal it off and present it to the Hanlin Academy or the cabinet department, or even to the imperial examination.

However, this usually happens in the imperial examination, and it also happens by chance in the provincial examination. There is no case in the prefecture examination in a century. As for the lowest-level county examination, it is unprecedented!

Candidates who took the county exam did not even count the child, and could they understand the secrets that others could not solve? Although all examiners knew that Ye Xingyuan was a talented man in the county, he never expected that he could write such an article.

It’s a pity that Zhou Zhixian finished reading this, but did not show them a glance, and immediately sent the article to Beijing... It made the examiners feel itchy, and maybe they missed an adventure in their life!

Not giving others too much time to surprise, Zhou Zhixian said to the examiners, "But there is no need to delay the county's trial issuance. After reading the other candidates, they will be arranged in sequence."

Zhou Zhixian couldn't help but feel restless and stood up and left. After reading Ye Xingyuan's article, he was completely uninterested in the articles of other candidates.

Huang Dianli followed the county lord in fear and fear, keeping his head down. Zhou Zhixian didn't know whether he was talking to himself or deliberately saying it to Huang Dianli, "In less than a few years, Ye Xingyuan was at least a juren..."

Not to mention the thoughts of these people, just talking about Ye Xingyuan's work after handing in the paper, he was relaxed and left the examination room and went to Ouyang Juren's house.

The county trial was released quickly, so he was too lazy to go home, so he stayed in the county town, waiting to determine the ranking, and then went back to his hometown to inform his sister of good news.

By breaking the ban with the "Breaking the Characters" and causing a lot of trouble, and writing such a powerful article, Ye Xingyuan was 80% sure about this county trial. As for the consequences of "spreading the sky", he could only stop thinking about it for the time being.

When Ouyang Juren heard about it, he scolded Huang Dianli for saying something. Because he was covered by the county magistrate, he was afraid that the matter would be left unresolved. He was only concerned about how Ye Xingyuan did in the exam, but he was more anxious than Ye Xingyuan himself.

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Ouyang Juren sent a servant to send Ye Xing to see the list.

Ye Xingyuan was sure that he ate a bowl of wontons on the roadside for breakfast, so he slowly came to the county government office and watched the yamen runners post the list.

Sheng Benqi arrived early, and he wrote a random article in the second half of the afternoon exam. In the end, he was in a mess, but he still looked at the list with a hint of luck. He saw Ye Xingyuan from afar, so he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to meet his eyes.

The examiners have stayed up late to read the article, and have ranked them one by one, and left the top five for the examiner Zhou Zhixian to decide. No, it should be said that the top four and Ye Xingyuan are among them.

Other examiners did not see Ye Xingyuan's article and did not know how to arrange Ye Xingyuan, so they handed it over to Zhou Zhixian County. After Zhou Zhixian set the final ranking, they could immediately issue the ranking.

Zhou Zhixian waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, but Huang Dianli did not leave and said to Zhou Zhixian: "If Ye Xingyuan's articles are excellent, it's okay to take Ye Xingyuan in the middle. Let him be the second place, which is enough to explain."

Huang Dianli is not a fool. Although he hasn't seen Ye Xingyuan's articles, he also knows that it must be excellent, and forcibly deposed is very difficult.

The second place...Zhou Zhixian asked without comment and said, "Who can be the head of the case? Is Sheng Benqi the recommended one?"

Huang Dianli didn't know what to say, so he could only secretly scold Sheng Benqi for not being able to support him. Yesterday, Ye Xingyuan was too disturbed, and Sheng Benqi, who was in the examination room next door, felt a ghost in his heart. He was shocked and frightened, and he was malfunctioning. Not to mention being the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the most popular.

He could only persuade: "That's not to let Ye Xingyuan be the leader of the case. According to the rules, the head of the county test will definitely win the scholar in the government test. Isn't it equivalent to sending Ye Xingyuan a scholar for free? He should thank God if he wins the second place in the county test!"

"It's out! It's out!" Seeing the county officials going out with the list of the list and Tong Sheng's roster items, the candidates were excited. They stretched their necks like ducks waiting to be slaughtered, and looked at the name they had just posted. Sheng Benqi couldn't help but squeezed into the crowd without caring about the reserve of his talented man.

Ye Xingyuan was leisurely and leisurely, standing in the distance, he was not in a hurry to move forward.

He didn't believe it. Someone dared to put his articles down the list, but the only thing he was worried about was ranking. But if the county master did not give him the head of the case, he would still post the articles to fight against others to the end, even if he complained to the emperor, he would do whatever he wanted.

There are too many injustice in this world. If you just tolerate it, there will be no good results. When you are suppressed in the exam room, you will feel that deep anger and powerlessness. Ye Xingyuan doesn't want to try it anymore.

Every time a little official posts a name, it will cause a stir.

The scholars cried or laughed. After all, they were young, and those who had won were excited, and some even fought. However, those who had not seen their names held their breath and stared at the list, hoping that the next one would be themselves, but their hearts became more and more nervous.

"I can win...I can win..." Sheng Benqi kept comforting himself. Seeing that there were more and more names posted, the little official had fewer and fewer names in his hands, and his hands and feet were cold. He could not withstand the blow of failing the exam again. It was obvious that the nobles in the county said that he should be the top of the list, and he would win this time!

The customary test in this county is to get one of the ten out of ten. This time more than 200 people went to the exam, and the number of children was only 20. Although the minor official deliberately slowed down, he finished it quickly and only had a famous note left in his hand.

Sheng Benqi's name has not appeared yet, and Ye Xingyuan's name has not appeared either.

However, the two of them performed completely differently. Sheng Benqi widened his eyes, held his hands tightly, and his legs spread apart and could not shake, as if he was about to fall at any time. However, Ye Xingyuan was very relaxed and moved a stool from somewhere, sat calmly, holding a cup of fragrant tea that the owner of the roadside tea stall was respected.

The little official turned around and smiled at everyone, and finally posted the last name, Tong Sheng's case for the first time, on the list.

Sheng Benqi looked at the names of the three words, his throat gushed, his eyes straightened, and suddenly he jumped up, showing an ecstatic expression, "I'm beaten! I'm beaten! This time the head of the case is me! It's me!"

He laughed wildly, rushing around the county government office regardless of everything, running around in circles. A group of scholars avoided him, "This brother Sheng failed to win the childhood life for ten years... I'm afraid he was too stimulating... crazy?"

Damn! Zhou Zhixian really dares to go against the will of heaven? Ye Xingyuan, who has been pretending to behave, finally couldn't calm down, jumped up from the bench and squeezed into the crowd desperately.
Chapter completed!
