Be a master through ancient times

When Zhang Hu went to buy it, Chu Ci's ranking dropped a few places, and the odds became [-] to [-].

"Dahu, why did you place such a small bet on your master?" asked the boy who pushed Zhang Hu to go to the gambling house last time.

"My master asked me to buy this. How much did you buy?"

The boy came out with an ingot, and said with a smile on his face, "Five taels, and it's five taels for each restaurant."

"So many, if your young master doesn't—" Zhang Hu was a little worried, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense! Our young master said that this time he will definitely be the top student in high school!" The boy pouted a few times with a sullen expression on his face.

"Then what should my master do?" Zhang Hu was in a hurry, his master was also here to test for the number one prize!

"Don't let him stay cool! You dare to bet only so much, and dare to say that your master can take the first prize? Your master only ranks more than 300 in the scientific examination, let alone the first prize, what is he?" Can't pass the exam."

"You are talking nonsense! My master will definitely pass the exam!" Zhang Hu pushed the man staggeringly, and then ran out angrily. The fool serves! The slave is stupid, and the master is also stupid!"

His master is the smartest!Not only did he save his father, but he also avenged Yuan'er's sister.In fact, Yuan'er is a younger sister, but she wanted to be an older sister, so Zhang Hu let her be.Thinking of He Yuan'er who was fished out of the well with a pale face at that time, Zhang Hu wiped away his tears.

Chu Ci was sitting in the courtyard reading a book when he saw Zhang Hu thumping into the room, and then rushing out with something in his pocket.

"Dahu, what are you doing?!"

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely let you win the first prize!" Zhang Hu said while running, his expression was full of determination.

Chu Ci held the book with a question mark on his face: Are you going to kidnap the emperor?

Zhang Hu ran to the restaurant and slapped his purse on the table: "Buy all my master!"

"Who is your master?" The dealer looked at his heavy purse and smiled happily.

"Chu Ci from Xijiang Province!"

"Oh, okay, how much can you buy? We can only buy five taels at a time. Of course, if you want to buy more, the price is negotiable, just to give my brother a little benefit." Zhuangtou winked, besides Mingzhuang, he also Engaged in a dark village.

"Bought them all!" Zhang Hu said proudly.But when he opened the purse and revealed a large amount of copper coins and scattered silver inside, Zhuangtou wanted to scold someone, mother, does this add up to a tael of silver?

Zhang Hu thought for a while, then took out the money that Chu Ci gave him.

Well, this time it looks like one or two is enough.

Zhuangtou counted for a while with his mouth curled up, and said weakly: "One tael, did you buy them all?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Hu watched him open a note with the restaurant's seal on it, carefully blew on it, and put it in his pocket.

On the first day of April, many students from the capital got together again to form a club, this time led by students from the Imperial College.

Compared with the provincial Guozijian, the Jingshi Guozijian has a much higher style.When their students started a society, naturally many people came to join them.

Chu Ci felt very hot last night, so he lifted the quilt to take a breath, unfortunately, he was hit, and lay on the bed in a daze to rest, so naturally he couldn't go.

Early the next morning, the poems and articles written in the Peach Blossom Club yesterday were circulated, and everyone in the streets and alleys recited them.

Almost at the same time, the rankings of those students who signed their names gradually rose, and the odds also dropped a lot.Some bought theirs, and they were both delighted and sighed.The joy is because they are more likely to be the top picks in high school, but the sigh is because of the one-to-odd odds. If they are upset, they will earn more than that.

Some people descend, and naturally others rise.Chu Ci's odds have soared all the way, and have become 35 to [-].

Zhang Hu went out to listen to people's analysis every day, and every time he came back, he looked worried, for fear that his master would not be the champion.

On the other hand, Chu Ci, his master, didn't seem worried at all.After he recovered from his illness, he still read books every day, or went to the Xijiang Guild Hall to exchange ideas with those students from his hometown.

On April 42th, all restaurants stopped betting.Chu Ci heard from Zhang Hu that his current odds stopped at [-] to [-].The higher the odds, the less likely it is to win.

Looking at Zhang Hu's face that was about to cry, Chu Ci smiled: "Who told you that the master's fate is in their hands? They said I can't win, so I want to show him to them!"

Although the chief examiner of this examination is the emperor, he is only a nominal one and does not participate in judging the papers.The real examiner should be a scholar of the Hanlin Academy who is right-handed.

This bachelor is in the same class as last year's bachelor.Last year, because he refused to admit Zhang Gan, he was reviled by many students, and many people wrote poems and scripts to ridicule him for his lack of taste. It can be said that he was "blacked out of Beijing".In a fit of anger, the old man had a heart attack, and when he recovered, he wanted to sue his old man and return home.

At that time, it was not long before the new emperor came to power, and everything was complicated. Day and night, he was reviewing the backlog of memorials. He was tired and didn't read carefully, so he wrote a letter of approval on it. As soon as the ink brush fell off, the old man returned to his hometown in despair. up.

Originally, according to the general procedure, three invitations and three stays were required, and the emperor would only approve it if he had to resign later.This old man's official position can be said to have been wronged.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Right Chancellor's faction quickly promoted one of the Imperial Academy Attendant Bachelors to a University Bachelor, and broke one of the Left Chancellor's arms.

It can be said that last year's Zhang Gan and that lord were both losers in the game of left and right.

This year's scholar is surnamed Guan, and he upholds the consistent thinking of the Right Chancellor's school. If he wants to obtain articles, he is basically forging ahead and focusing on reform and innovation.

Of course, this is not a secret, and all students can write in this way.However, the bad thing is that this year's chief examiner is the emperor, and Mr. Guan can only participate in judging papers in the name of deputy chief examiner.Besides him, there were three other assistant examiners, one of whom was from the left minister's side, and the other two had ambiguous attitudes, which made it difficult to figure out the details.

Although he is fully responsible for this matter, those three people are not without the right to speak.Like this test, the writing was too much, and the reformist scholars who showed their sharpness were all suppressed.And those who wrote too conservatively and leaned towards the retro style were naturally rejected by Mr. Guan.

What these two sides jointly push is an article with a very novel idea.Like other articles, no matter how obscure it is, you can see what the author really wants to express, but this article analyzes the pros and cons from the perspective of a bystander. It can be said to be very fair.

First of all, neutral officials are more optimistic about this article.Over the years, the two sides have been full-fledged and often fight hard.As for those who did not express their attitude, they often went to the host's banquet in the morning and went to the west's house in the evening. Although neither side was close, neither side dared to offend.After going back and forth, I don't know how many times my waist has thickened.

Over the past few days, the articles they have revised are either sharp, or extremely staid and dignified, which makes people really headache after reading them.

As soon as this article came out, they immediately pushed it up.Those on both sides also looked at each other after reading it, and felt that although this guy is not from his side, but he can develop it, it is better than recommending an outstanding one to be brushed down by the other party.

In this way, in this examination, Chuci, who pursued the doctrine of the mean to the end, caught off guard and became the leader of this examination.

"Hui Yuanlang, congratulations." The roll call officer looked at Chu Ci who was still a little dazed after being called to the front, and gave him a very kind smile.

"Thank you, sir." Chu Ci came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said with a smile.Before the exam, he secretly analyzed the situation and carefully inquired about the entanglements of the deputy chief examiners this year, which really made him get the first place by mistake.

In this kind of partisan dispute, whoever dares to take the lead will be cannon fodder, which is far less safe than neutrality.He guessed that he could win, but he didn't know that he could get the first place!

Originally, the examination also required a teacher, but this time the teacher is the emperor, who would dare to accept the gift from the students on behalf of the emperor?So, after the name was sung, everyone went home.

Because of the new emperor's enthronement, there are many vacancies in various places, so a total of 270 people were selected for this test.The admission rate was almost six to one. Compared with the sixty to seventy to one in the rural examination, the examination is indeed much easier.

As soon as the Huiyuan candidates were selected, those who did not bet on him could not help but sigh, but those who had bet on him were overjoyed. If Chu Ci performed well in the palace examination and was named the number one scholar, then this year will be another upset up!

Chu Ci didn't know that his every move still affected the minds of so many people. He only knew that the palace examination would be held on the 21st. He should think carefully about what might go wrong with His Majesty in the palace examination.

The palace examination is only for one day, and it is held in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.It was originally held in the square, but the strong wind from the north made the rice paper crackling, so it was changed to be held in the hall.

The topic of the palace examination will be given by His Majesty the Emperor on the spot, and everyone can write an essay based on the topic given by the Emperor.

After the policy was submitted, it was first judged by the cabinet, which was composed of the two prime ministers and the Hall of Preservation and Harmony, the Hall of Wenhua, and the bachelors of the Hall of Martial Heroes.After the top ten are selected, His Majesty will judge the top three.

In other words, if you want the emperor to read your article, you must first enter the top ten.Among the five people who grade the paper, at least three people must approve of you.And this year there will be a lot of people who will be tested, and there may be assistants to help. How can we stand out from the crowd in the hands of these people and rank in the top three, or even the first place?

At the beginning, Chu Ci actually didn't have the ambition of being the champion.He only hopes to be able to pass the Jinshi exam, end his hard career in imperial examinations, and start a new chapter in his life.

However, he won Huiyuan, and everything changed again.

In the provincial examination, he was Xie Yuanlang in a province.After the test, he was Hui Yuanlang again.If you get the number one scholar in the palace examination, then you can achieve the achievement of "three yuan and first".

Looking at the 5000-year history of China, how many people can "three yuan and first"?Chu Ci once knew in modern times that since the imperial examination system was established in the Sui Dynasty, only 16 people have won this honor.

Chu Ci is a scholar, which scholar has never had the dream of winning three yuan in a row and winning the title of the gold list?Besides, he is not without a fight.

Although the world has turned a corner at the later stage of history that he knows, for Chu Ci, this is not a bad thing.

Perhaps, he can also write a rich stroke in this long history.He wants future generations to remember that there once appeared a man named Chu Ci in the world, and he was the first champion of the "Three Yuans" since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty!
