As dusk approaches, a candidate handed over the papers. The inspector of the field checked the papers and sent them to Prefect Zhang.

Under normal circumstances, the test papers are completed and judged. However, there is a customary practice for the county and government tests, which are not dumb names. The first few people who hand in the paper will be sent directly to the examiner, who will be reviewed on the spot in the examination room.

This process is also a process for candidates and examiners to face the answer directly, and many stories about Shilin will often emerge.

The inspector took the test paper and said with a smile: "This person is funny. We see that he has been writing hard almost all the time and has never even thought about it. He originally thought that his thinking was very fast, so he did not add any more words.

I looked at it quietly in the afternoon, but I repeatedly wrote a few words of graffiti, thinking that I was an ignorant person. Unexpectedly, at this time, I was the first to hand in the paper, and I don’t know what I wrote.”

The examiners laughed, the examination room is a place of fame and fortune, and the appearance of sentient beings is indeed strange. Someone asked, "What is this candidate's name?"

The inspector replied, "Ye Xingyuan." The examiners looked strange. They were discussing this recent celebrity in the city just now, but they didn't expect to hear this name again so soon.

He spent almost a day graffiti and then wrote an article in a short time? Zhang Taifu recalled the time when the inspiration appeared in the examination room. There was no sign before, but later it suddenly gushed, and he became more and more cautious.

Prefect Zhang sat as firm as Mount Tai and was not in a hurry to watch. Instead, he signaled to other examiners to circulate them first.

"You are the first to have a look!" The examiner surnamed He was impatient and took the test paper. At first, he looked contemptuous, but after reading a few words, his face turned pale and subconsciously gritted his teeth, and then silently put it down. He did not comment after that.

"What's wrong with Brother He?" Another examiner named Li was inexplicably. He took Ye Xingyuan's test paper, glanced roughly for a few seconds, and then sneered: "Mo Yi is pretty good, and the test poems are just average, which is very inconsistent with his reputation as a demon of poetry, and it is too famous. As for this article..."

This man came up and demeaned a few words. He was just a general thorn, but when he talked about the article, his voice suddenly got stuck. Not only did he lose words. The priest Zhang, who was keen on his eyes, could also see that the examiner's fingers trembled gently under the candlelight.

Ye Xingyuan's article is really so good? It made them both picky people. There was nothing to say. Prefect Zhang was very surprised. But his great skill in qi cultivation was still a gentle and calm style - this article was finally delivered to him.

At this time, Ye Xingyuan packed up his things and walked out of the examination room. Then, under the supervision of the clerk, he also came to the examiner's seat to meet all the examiners. The first few candidates who handed in the paper all had this kind of preferential treatment for meeting the examiners on the spot.

The examiner surnamed Li had read Ye Xingyuan's article, and his face changed. Suddenly, a sentence burst out from his teeth. "Mr. Zhang, this article is very good, but he has resentment and is a heretic. He is not recommended. Please give up!"

What? The examiners are all well-known figures, and when they hear this person's words, they can't help but talk.

The examiner surnamed He, who had read Ye Xingyuan's articles before, couldn't help but look up at examiner Li, and could only admire the courage of this colleague. Did Lord Li take any benefits, or did he especially want to please Mr. Zhang, and could he say such words against his will?

Even if Mr. Zhang and Ye Xingyuan are enemies, it is still a matter of being suppressed by Ye Xingyuan a little, and it is considered to be a care of the face of the prefect Zhang. But if you are so blatant, you will be a little obedient.

Ye Xingyuan heard this and took a step forward and defended himself: "My sir, this is too alarmist, I'm just a little too young..."

The examiner surnamed Li suddenly turned his head and scolded: "We examiner is judging the papers, you candidate shut up!"

This... Ye Xingyuan, who has always been smart, is rarely speechless and can only be depressed. After all, this is the examination room. When examiners discuss and judge the test papers, how can they argue with the candidates involved? The candidates are not qualified to speak at all.

After drinking Ye Xingyuan in one sentence, examiner Li tightened Ye Xingyuan's paper and sneered, "There is a sentence in the article that can be slandered when moved, and the reputation will be followed. If you want to be suppressed, it is appropriate to divide it."

The meaning of this sentence is that I am slandered by others at any time, my reputation is also damaged, and I am often suppressed, so I cannot make a fortune and be placed in a leisurely position by the court. This is all my "deserved to be guilty."

In fact, Ye Xingyuan's article was posing as a boy asking the teacher, and then talking about the theme of the study in the tone of the teacher. The words put forward by examiner Li are the open-minded and self-deprecating words of the gentleman in the article, and of course, in a sense, Ye Xingyuan's ridicule of his own experience.

The deputy examiner asked back, "What's the problem?"

"It sounds normal, but he is just a young man. He pretends to rely on what the old man said in the whole article and then speaks this resentment. Isn't it because he has resentment?" the examiner surnamed Li explained.

Finally, he concluded: "It's not just resentment, but also slander, criticizing the court for being unclear and unfair in the imperial court! Otherwise, why do you deliberately write about the wise man being suppressed and idle?

The examiner surnamed Li started this, and the other examiners went to see the chief examiner Zhang Tai. The master Zhang was the biggest here, of course, it depends on the attitude of Zhang Tai. Moreover, many people have heard of it that the son of the Zhang Tai family and Ye Xingyuan were very dissatisfied...

Seeing that the Prime Minister Zhang did not stop examiner Li from accusing Ye Xingyuan, everyone thought about the thought of Prime Minister Zhang. Perhaps the Prime Minister Zhang was also unhappy with Ye Xingyuan?

An examiner immediately agreed and said, "Actually, Ye Xingyuan is a little bit wrong. Among his frontier poems, there is a line that is to conquer people all over their hometown overnight. Isn't this implicit mockery of our frontier governance?

There is also the sentence "I feel pitiful to the bones by the Wuding River, but I am still a man in the deep boudoir dream." Is it a satirical emperor for being a military officer? He was a child who dared to discuss the government affairs absurdly. It is also a tradition to do such articles in the government trial!"

It is a natural skill of literati. Once you have malicious intentions and are willing to look for the words, you will still be inquisitive inquisition everywhere?

Just like "The breeze is illiterate, so why do you read books randomly" can be misinterpreted as satirical, it is not surprising that Ye Xingyuan's poem about going out to the frontier was picked and caught by someone.

In this article, Ye Xingyuanchun only used a boy's tone to ask questions and wrote the true meaning of going to study. However, because he wrote a few words about the poor and destitute, he was criticized as a satirical satire of the court. It was obviously a fable, but he deliberately guided it to reality, which would be a bit despicable.

"Hahahaha!" Suddenly someone burst out laughing. The examiners looked in the voice. They were no one else, but they were the candidate Ye Xingyuan who had been silent for a long time.

Examiner Li shouted to Ye Xingyuan again: "Why are you laughing at?"

Ye Xingyuan asked back, "Don't Wansheng interfere, can't Wansheng laugh?"

"If you continue to make noise in the exam room, you will be expelled directly!" Examiner Li scolded without hesitation.

Prefect Zhang had no movement, no agreement, no refutation, and finally ordered: "Since you have read all the articles, let's show it to me."

The test paper was placed on the desk. Master Zhang looked at it for a few times, then stretched out his finger in surprise and gently stroked one of the sentences. Suddenly, there was a refraction of the inspiration in his eyes.

This sentence has only fourteen words, which seems plain and has no profound truth. For the young man, it may be just a simple word of encouragement to learn. However, it made the heart of the prefect Zhang, who had experienced ups and downs, feel as if he had some enlightenment, but it was as unpredictable as a mirror and a water moon.

"The skill of career is diligent and wasteful, and the action is accomplished and the thought is destroyed and the follower!" This is the first sentence the old man said in Ye Xingyuan's article.

Prefect Zhang was also from a poor family. He studied hard for ten years and had to go through hardships to get a title on the list. Now when he thinks about it, he feels like a dream. Sometimes he wakes up at midnight and wants to hang his beam and stab his thighs, and he is really moved.

Isn’t what he wants just a summary like this! Prefect Zhang was as enlightened as his spiritual power was stimulated, which was resonated with strong resonance.

These fourteen words made the prefect Zhang feel enlightened, lifting up the joys and sorrows of the years of studying, and concisely summarizing his life.

Scholars have reached a certain level and like to express their meanings in a small way. Master Zhang felt that he had finally found the sentence he was pursuing, the sentence he had experienced, and the sentence he could condense his life into the essence.

That’s right, it’s this sentence: the skill of one’s career is diligent and indifference, and the action is accomplished and the thought is destroyed and the follower!

The examiners were still clamoring and holding their own opinions. But these sounds became distant and empty to the prefect Zhang, and they were like the summer cicadas in the classroom when they were young, familiar and meaningless.

"Sir, sir? What's the matter with this article?" The deputy examiner knew that the article about Ye Xingyuan was determined by the words of the prefect Zhang. He walked to the prefect Zhang and asked softly.

One thought is heaven, one thought is hell. After being discussed and quarreled by the examiners, their evaluation of this article can only be extreme, either above the clouds or under the mud.

The prefect Zhang said, "Okay, with the current performance of this article and the level of Ye Xingyuan's in-depth meaning and the test poems, the head of the test case for this test is Ye Xingyuan, and no one can take him."

If the prefect Zhang said it was not good, he could only follow the examiners' attitudes and make him "resentful" and directly demoted him, and even pursue his fault!

Although it may be left alone in the end, the court did not have the practice of saying guilty because of the crime, at least Ye Xingyuan's future path to the imperial examination will be much more difficult.

Prefect Zhang woke up from a wonderful feeling. This state just now belonged to an enlightenment, but it was hard to find it. At this point, even Prefect Zhang secretly regretted that although Ye Xingyuan's article was good, it seemed that it was almost meaningful and was not enough to break through the many obstacles.

For the sake of Ye Xingyuan's article, forcibly reversing the opinions of his colleagues may even make Dragon Palace unhappy. From the perspective of practical bureaucrats, it is still a bit unworthy of the loss.

In a silence, Ye Xingyuan silently stepped forward and pulled out a few pieces of paper from the exam basket. The deputy examiner sympathized with Ye Xingyuan and asked actively: "What is this?"

Ye Xingyuan replied lightly: "This is also an answer sheet. The student accidentally wrote one more article, so now I will hand in another test paper." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
