The Guoxuetang exam is the last one.

Those who stand out from the crowd are considered to have entered the official career.Among these dozens of people, how many classes are divided, the first class is naturally the best, the number of people is variable, generally no more than ten people.These ten people are divided into three ranks, the first rank is no more than two people, the second rank is three, and the rest are third ranks.The second, third and third grades have slightly more people, and are not as valuable as the first grades.It's just that no matter how bad it is, you can lose an official position.

The students of the whole country are fighting for the only place. They are studying hard and have reached the last step. No one wants to let themselves down. If they fail this time, they will have to wait another three years.

Wei Lianshuo is a relatively different one among these poor students.According to Master Wei's official rank, he can walk sideways among these people.Even if you can't get the first grade, you can get a score of [-] in the test.It's just that before departure, Master Wei repeatedly ordered him not to make publicity.

He himself is not a meddlesome person, and he doesn't need to walk around to have a leisurely time.Therefore, compared to Mu Yan who reads every day, he is really relaxed.

After wandering around like this for a few days, the exam came as scheduled.

There are two exams, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. All the teachers in the National School are examiners, but the final ranking has to be determined by the chief examiner.

Wei Lianshuo waited for Mu Yan on the sidelines after handing in the paper ahead of time. Seeing him come out with a calm face, he was relieved a lot.

Fang Jianxin prepared a banquet at home early, and invited some of his friends.Although he said that he came to the capital early, he did not take the exam. His family started as a merchant, so he did not force him to become an official.

Five days later, the imperial list was released.

Wei Lianshuo's name is actually higher than the first and second ranks!

It turned out that when he handed in the examination paper early, the examiner noticed him and knew that he was the youngest son of Lord Wei, so he kept an eye on him, remembered his paper header, and presented it to the chief examiner.That lord was also picked up by Mr. Wei, and he was grateful. In addition, Wei Lianshuo's fonts were vigorous, his style was strong, and his articles were quite literary, which made him one of the top two.

It's just that Wei Lianshuo probably didn't know about the twists and turns.

Overjoyed, he continued to search upwards, and after looking back and forth several times, he still couldn't find the word Mu Yan.Looking down again, the names of dozens of people went through his mind over and over again, but there were still none.

There were a lot of people watching the list, and they all complained when they saw him not leaving, so they could only back out.

Seeing Mu Yan's expectant eyes, he sighed, grabbed his hand and left. Mu Yan was inexplicably pulled by him, and he struggled to break free, saying, "What are you doing?"

"There is something wrong with the top of the list. It doesn't matter if you don't read it."

Mu Yan was puzzled and said, "How do you see it? That's the imperial list."

Oh, yes, that is the imperial list.With the emperor's seal on it, if there is a mistake and someone loses his head, how can there be a problem?

If there is no problem, how could Mu Yan not be among them?

The more Wei Lianshuo thought about it, the more upset he became, and he walked away without saying a word. Mu Yan seemed to have realized something during his long silence. He stopped and said, "I must have failed."

Wei Lianshuo was silent, he turned his head away.

Mu Yan suddenly understood, and thought to himself, it really is so.He abruptly let go of Wei Lianshuo's hand holding him, and walked in the opposite direction.

"Son..."

"Well, I'm fine, sorry, just leave me alone."

Wei Lianshuo just watched his figure disappear at the end of the alley.

Wen Yunkai looked at Mu Yan who was drinking, and didn't know where to start. He had never said a word of comfort in his life, so he could only drink with him silently.

He thought that with Mu Yan's talent and hard work, even if he couldn't win the top spot, he should be on the list.Those bastards from the Guoxuetang were blinded by how they let go of such a good seedling.

"Wen, Mr. Wen," Mu Yan stammered, "I, I'm just like this, I'm full of confidence, I think I've learned enough and I don't want to contribute more," he continued after finishing his drink Say, "If I work harder, sleep less, enjoy less, like those who really study hard, will the result be different?"

Wen Yunkai was about to speak when he continued: "In this world, there are people who are smarter and more diligent than me, but I forgot that I am just the most ordinary one. Ten percent of my hard work, but it is my own fault that I ended up where I am today."

"Zixi," Wen Yunkai looked at him, his eyes were extremely serious, "Don't belittle yourself. You are still young, and you have time to start over. If this setback makes you unable to climb up, it is not enough Got strong."

In fact, he saw Mu Yan's hard work. He knew his family background a long time ago, and he didn't say that he would give up studying in such a difficult day. It was not easy.He didn't expect to fail this time, so let's go to the National Academy tomorrow and ask the examiner for his explanation.

"Xi, don't worry. I'll go to the Chinese Academy tomorrow to see the situation. Maybe there will be a chance."

"Hey, Yunkai, why do you come to my place when you have time?"

Master He smiled and looked at Wen Yunkai.

"Stop talking nonsense, I just ask how you graded the papers."

"Hey, why, you were the one who refused to let you be the examiner at the beginning, but now you are greedy again?"

"I have a student who failed the exam this year."

"Hahahaha, you, Wen Yunkai, still have today, hahaha," Mr. He laughed heartily, ignoring Wen Yunkai's darkened face next to him.

"Hahaha, oh, oh, don't tell me, there is really a student this year, and the essays he wrote are full of talent, which is quite like your demeanor."

He continued: "Is your high apprentice named Mu Yan?"

"Exactly."

The man straightened his face and dragged him into the back room.

After sitting down, he took out a paper for Wen Yun to read.

Wen Yunkai knew it was Mu Yan's handwriting just by looking at the handwriting. He read it carefully and sighed.

He sort of knew where the problem was.

The test questions for pen theory were appointed by the emperor.In recent years, the country's economy has been sluggish, and the people have not been able to pay taxes. The previous expedition to the west has cost a lot of money and manpower. It is said that the national treasury is almost destitute.What the emperor meant was to talk about the way of assisting the country from this reality.

As for Mu Yan's test paper, it's not that he didn't speak well.What he said was so good that he almost put the reality of the whole country on the paper. He has a brilliant literary talent, and the whole article can be read heartily. It's just that people in high places can't see such truth.

Master He also looked regretful: "This paper has already spread among us, and we all feel sorry for him. What a seedling."

"Wen Yue, I'm not talking about you. You are too much like you, a high-ranking student. You didn't look like this when you came to the capital. Otherwise, General Zhao..."

He suddenly stopped, looked carefully at Wen Yunkai's face, and laughed twice.

Wen Yunkai left without even looking at him.

Mr. He didn't even have time to send it off, so he stood still and patted his mouth: "This mouth, really, tell you to talk too much..."

The author has something to say:

Another chapter, hahahaha.

It is a small memorial.

Thank you for your clicks.
