Chapter 31: The Heads of Cases Gather
More than twenty miles ahead of the military camp is the Great Wall of Wu, so every year the first child in each county will be brought here by the county's temple supervisor and handed over to the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy of the country.
Because Fengle County is the closest to Wu Great Wall, Su Lin is the first child in the case to arrive at the military camp. He looked at the sixty-six child in the case who came in one after another, wondering that their wildebeest magic car was actually different from his own.
"Ye Zhengshi, why do other wildebeests have silver horns on their heads and their skin colors are also different, either brown or red, but the golden horned snow-white skin? Moreover, it seems that I have not found such spirituality as the golden horned in the rest of wildebeests?"
Su Lin asked in confusion.
"The golden horse is the favorite king of wildebeests in the Tianshi Department of Qin's half-saints in my temple. They feed them with the golden pages of the great scholars' classics every day. Even during festivals, Qin's half-saints will personally write semi-bible rituals with it with the power of holy power. In this way, the golden horse is naturally not comparable to ordinary wildebeests."
As soon as Ye Jianshe finished talking to Su Lin, several temple supervisors came forward with a smirk and greeted him.
"Brother Hongye, thanks to you this time? Otherwise, with our wealth, how could there be so many great Confucian scholars who feed Qin Bansheng's treasure Jinju!"
"It seems that this is the fourth year in a row that Jin Ju chose to follow Ye Zhuan? It seems that Jin Ju is becoming more and more humane. He knows that Ye Zhuan has countless great scholars, and he has eaten it with Ye Zhuan."
These two temple supervisors Tong Yanchang and Du Huayan were both Jinshi's cultivation level. The wildebeests he was holding were very ordinary, with brown hair, silver horns, and even four hooves were far thicker and wider than those of the golden horse.
"You two cunning guys know that there are many golden pages of scriptures passed down by my ancestors, and they just cheated me like this."
Supervisor Ye also quipped and smiled, and then said, "But I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future. After this county examination, I will apply to Qin Bansheng to leave the 'Tianshi Test Department', travel around the world, travel across the nine countries of Tianren Continent, and study around."
"Studying around? Brother Hongye, are you going to be a senior student? I remember half a month ago, you were still far from you! Could it be that you have had any adventures in the past few days? Come quickly... and come quickly!" One of the supervisors Du Huayan said in surprise.
"That's right, this county test, there are only occasional adventures, hehe! Not worthy! Not worthy!" Ye Zheng smiled and looked proud. However, the light from the corner of his eyes glanced at Su Lin beside him, and he secretly said in his heart, "The county test inspection has obtained a Mingzhou poem in a few days. More importantly, Su Lin's magnificent font, which deeply touched my thoughts and insights. Isn't this an adventure? What is it? Hehe!"
Indeed, it was precisely the past three days that Ye Hongye's magnificent Yan style and optimistic and open-minded new autumn concepts from Su Lin's "Autumn Poems" deeply inspired his thoughts and deepened Ye Hongye's understanding and understanding of the holy path. His ideological cultivation is naturally a thousand miles a day, and his sacred power is rolling, and he is just one opportunity to break through to the Grand Secretary.
"Okay, Ye Hongye. If we didn't know that you were practicing the 'the way of having teachings but not having any distinction', we would have thought you would have specialized in the 'the way of small tools'! We wouldn't even say this."
Several supervisors laughed and got on the wildebeest carriage and returned to the temple to report. Su Lin had long received guidance from Ye Hongye, and just like other newly arrived boys, he walked directly to the Zhongjun camp with the general order hanging.
After a few steps forward, Su Lin was shaking all over, as if he was staring at a ferocious beast. He turned around and found that it was Zhao Zhi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who was also the team leader of the team leader. At this moment, Zhao Zhi was walking towards this side with the team leader, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Hong Jingzhang, and another team leader, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Su Yuan, who was also a team leader, who was in charge of the team leader, but his eyes were staring at Su Lin, wishing he could eat his flesh alive.
"Sure enough, Zhao Zhi has come too. However, I will find an opportunity to hand over the letter from Magistrate Xu's personal letter to editor Su Yuan, and there is also Grand Secretary Hong Jingzhang, so Zhao Zhi dares not touch me easily."
But after a moment of nervousness, Su Lin walked forward with fearlessness and observed the words and expressions of the other sixty-six children in the case.
"Sure enough, no matter what kind of world, the principles of the strong assault on the weak and class advantages are always common. Although children who have been wise in the county examination can register, most of the people who can truly win the position of the case by relying on their strength are children of wealthy families who have accumulated a large number of resources."
Most of these children were handsome young men in gorgeous clothes, with only a few people like Su Lin, just ordinary blue-robed and clothed. Moreover, the children of those children had almost had personal relationships, and they formed a circle. Three or three, two, one congratulations and one dared not be aware of it. Only a few children from a poor background were left, gathering together.
Su Lin walked forward, so he naturally would not go to the young master of the aristocratic family to join in the fun. But in order not to be alone, he of course stood on the side of the head of the case with an ordinary family background.
"Sulin, Fengle County, I have met all classmates."
Going forward and bowing and smiling politely is the most common routine of greeting Confucian scholars. Because Su Lin and they were children of the same year, although they were not in the same place, they were also considered as classmates.
"Li Donglai, Lindun County!"
"Qian Wanli, Tonghua County!"
"Zhou Lun, Huazhou County!"
...
The few people also reported their names and origins, which even if they met Su Lin. Then there was a brief conversation. Through the exchange, Su Lin also affirmed his previous thoughts. Among these people, they were the sons of scholars like him. Perhaps they were already noble gentry in the eyes of ordinary people, but scholars were only the lowest-level existence in the gentry level. In the eyes of those Jinshi, Hanlin and even the great Confucian families, they were no different from those of the people.
Among the few people, Su Lin discovered that there was Li Donglai from Lindun County, whose ancestors were all ignorant of three generations, but he confessed that he had such a Hanlin word to open his wisdom in the county.
"Silent! The first students of the case, this officer is your leader Hong Jingzhang. He is a senior student in the Hanlin Academy and a senior scholar. The two next to him are co-lead Zhao Zhizhao and Su Yuansu. They are both Jinshi Wenshi Wen."
Before the Central Army General Order, no generals were present, only Hong Jingzhang, Zhao Zhi and Su Yuan. After a few words, the boys of the case were summoned to the front of the case. Hong Jingzhang continued, "You are all the prides of my Wu Kingdom. You can win the first place in a county. They are all rare talents. Today, you are called up to visit the Great Wall, get a position, help you open up the sea of wisdom, and officially become children of the child. The other is to participate in the trial outside the pass, hone your mind and thoughts, so that you can go further on the ideological path."
In a few simple words, Grand Secretary Hong Jingzhang pointed out the main purpose of this time, then looked up at the sky and said, "It's past noon today. I have borrowed a military camp from General Chen Ruoxue, the Grand General of Zhenguan, to provide everyone with a tent of ten people and one camp for everyone to rest. I will go to visit the Great Wall at noon tomorrow. During this period, you will pay attention to adjusting your thoughts and maintaining a pure way of enlightenment. Do not have any evil and distracting thoughts. Otherwise, the power of the literary position will backfire and cause the loss of the holy power after the enlightenment sea, which will be more than worth the loss."
After explaining some other matters, the leader Hong Jingzhang asked the children of the case to form their own group and enter the military camp to rest on their own.
Like the past, the children and students of the case came together, with a total of 67 people. Several factions were formed by the children of several of the most famous scholarly families. Lin Wanjing, the first in the capital, was undoubtedly the one with the most followers.
This county examination included three most biased and difficult questions. Even though the people present were the leaders of each county in Wu State and the best among their peers, there were very few who could answer one of the three. As for the two of them, as far as they knew, only Lin Wanjing was the only one.
"Brother Lin, I heard that your county's trial posting has answered forty-nine questions correctly. Even the famous quotes in "Yue Wei Lecture Notes" and "Yongzhe Lun" can be answered. He is worthy of being the legitimate grandson of Lin Daru and the well-deserved leader of the Wu State!"
Sixty-seven heads of the case walked towards the camp. Everyone was headed by Lin Wanjing, the most famous one. Among them, there was also a case leader from another county, who wanted to be familiar with Lin Wanjing and praised Lin Wanjing in a compliment.
"That's true! This time, the posting of scriptures is said to be the most difficult time in ten years. In previous years, there were always several cases where the posting of scriptures were posted in our 67 counties of Wu State. However, this year, the only one who heard the most was Mr. Lin who answered forty-nine times correctly."
Among the crowd, Huang Gui County case leader Huang Tong said while glancing at the group of ordinary family backgrounds in the left back. After several breaths of recognition, he recognized Su Lin's appearance and said to himself: "In this county trial, my cousin Zhao Shuang, as the grandson of a great scholar, will he lose to such a poor and humble person? Humph! Today I will definitely try every means to disturb your thinking and hit you hard, and let you get backfire when you get a literary position tomorrow to open up the sea of wisdom, and avenge my cousin!"
Huang Tong is the legitimate son of Huang Shilang, the uncle of Zhao Shuang, the imperial examination of the Jinshi. This time, the head of the county trial in Huanggui County. Before coming, Zhao Shuang came to Huanggui County to find him and told him how Su Lin took the head of the case by treacherously. He begged him to find an opportunity to help him take revenge when visiting the Great Wall or the trial outside the pass.
Another person who noticed Su Lin was also noticed by the crowd, Yuan Mu, the son and nephew of Yuan Tianzhang, the governor of Jian'an Prefecture. He was the head of the case in Jiyang County under the jurisdiction of Jian'an Prefecture. Before this time, his uncle Yuan Tianzhang specially called him to the mansion and repeatedly told him to make good relations with Su Lin, the head of Fengle County case. However, Yuan Mu asked his uncle many times what was special about Su Lin, but Yuan Tianzhang always ruthlessly on the grounds that he was indescribable.
However, Yuan Mu would not doubt the words of the Grand Secretary Wen Wei uncle Yuan Tianzhang, and he discovered Su Lin in the crowd early in the morning. Although he had joined the circle of wealthy families before, in order to find an opportunity to make friends with Su Lin, he took the initiative to walk over and join the team of the heads of these ordinary aristocratic families.
The leaders of the ordinary aristocratic families were all surprised. Why did the leaders of the wealthy aristocratic families join in voluntarily? One of them was also a leader of a county under the jurisdiction of Jian'an Prefecture. Knowing that Yuan Mu's family background was not as good as the grandson of the great scholars of Lin Wanjing and others, he was also a well-known son of a great scholar and a genius who spoke wisely in Hanlin.
Just as they were hesitating whether to speak up with Yuan Mu, Yuan Mu took the initiative to walk towards Su Lin and smiled slightly, "Brother Su Lin, the leader of Fengle County case, isn't it? My uncle often mentions Brother Su Shi to me! He boasts about Brother Shi's extraordinary talent."
