Chapter 266: Dial the B-character volume, keep it in

  Chapter 266 The B-word scroll, with one heart

  Qiao Yingjia has been thinking about Feng Ziying, her favorite student, and has even been a little restless these days.

Qiao Yingjia's resume is relatively simple. Unlike Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen, he has experienced several ups and downs. Although he has encountered difficulties in his official career, most of them were demoted or left idle, so he didn't have many opportunities Having experienced the academy, and he has not been the chief examiner or even a co-examiner in these years, it is naturally impossible to have a large group of disciples like Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen.

  Feng Ziying was a protégé who was "sent to his door" almost by chance. Even Qiao Yingjia didn't think much of his knowledge at first, but only his courage.

  But Feng Ziying's performance quickly reversed his opinion, especially after the other party showed his ambition to study and even be admitted to Jinshi, Qiao Yingjia felt differently.

Entrance into Jinshi is not just based on words, nor can it be done by family background. Feng Ziying dared to ask him in front of him, so he naturally has something to rely on. In fact, after I recommended him to go to Qingtan Academy, Feng Ziying's performance gave him a good impression. A surprise.

In two years, this guy even gained a lot of fame in the imperial court. Of course, Qi Yongtai, Guan Yingzhen and Qingtan Academy benefited the most, but as Feng Ziying's "benefactor", Qiao Yingjia is just as honored .

  Furthermore, Feng Ziying was able to achieve the Chinese style in one fell swoop, which was simply beyond Qiao Yingjia's imagination.

  The fourteen-year-old Juren, in Dazhou, dare not say that there is no one before or after, but after the capital was moved in Dazhou, he was really the first one. Even if the ranking is not high, but this age is really shocking.

If Feng Ziying can get a Jinshi in today's scientific examination, then another history will be created, then as "Master Qiao", he will naturally gain the reputation of being a discerning person, and the key is that Qiao Yingjia even knows that even the emperor is very concerned about this son.

  From last year to this year's Shilin event and a series of letters, they have stirred up a lot of turmoil inside and outside the court, and the emperor is obviously a little quiet and thinking about moving.

  Quiet and want to move, but it is not the time for the emperor to move, so it is the right meaning for some young people of the junior generation to wrinkle a pool of spring water.

  If this son Jinke Chunwei can survive, the gloomy situation in the court will undoubtedly be injected into a clear spring again.

   Well, of course, Feng Ziying is not the only one. The students of Qingtan Academy and even Chongzheng Academy seem to have some trends under Feng Ziying's situation.

   These should be what the emperor would like to see.

  So Qiao Yingjia very much hoped that Feng Ziying could pass, but Feng Ziying's disadvantages were extremely obvious. Under normal circumstances, his chances of passing were indeed not high. If there were another three years of hard study, then it shouldn't be a big problem for him to graduate.

But it is really a pity to waste these three years in vain. Qiao Yingjia also hopes that Feng Ziying can provide himself, Qi Yongtai and others with more help and support in these three years, so that he can play a greater role and help him. Faster ascension and growth.

  The question is how can I help you? This is Qiao Yingjia's biggest headache.

  Autumn and spring are no different than other things. This is the strictest and most demanding regulation of the Zhou Dynasty. No one can intervene, not even the emperor.

  As the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I also shoulder the important task of supervision and must abide by the rules and regulations.

   Over the past few days, he has been trying to find something but found nothing, until this morning, he confirmed the main examiner, deputy examiner and fellow examiner of the Chunwei Grand Competition.

  As expected, Fang Congzhe was in charge of the chief examiner. Whether it was Fang Congzhe or Ye Xianggao, it was the same. The question of the candidate for the deputy chief examiner was a little controversial, but in the end it fell to Gu Bingqian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

   There were as many as ten people in the same examination, and the attendants, lecturers and editors of the Imperial Academy accounted for more than half, and there were also people from Zuochunfang and the Ministry of Rites.

  Gu Bingqian? ! Qiao Yingjia looked at this person and finally had some plans in mind.

  The court dispersed, and the courtiers came out of the palace in twos and threes, Qiao Yingjia intentionally left behind.

   "Congratulations, Mr. Gu." Seeing Gu Bingqian walking over alone, this guy's popularity is not very good, Qiao Yingjia cupped his hands.

  Gu Bingqian was slightly surprised. He had no friendship with the right deputy, the censor, and this deputy chief examiner was nothing, not the chief examiner.

   "The whole is loved by the emperor,..." Gu Bingqian also cupped his hands, "However, there is the old Fangge at the helm, and this official is just picking up what's missing and making up for what's missing, and providing a little assistance."

"Well said, but it's not easy to pick up what's left and make up for the omissions. This subject is different than usual. The Holy Majesty attaches great importance to it. He intends to select a group of students who are determined to forge ahead and dare to speak out through this subject. There are many evils in the court. The Holy Majesty hopes that through this subject, young officials Let me wipe away my anger." Qiao Yingjia said casually, "Master Gu must be able to appreciate the painstaking efforts of the emperor."

  Gu Bingqian's body froze slightly. To be honest, he really didn't realize it.

As the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, Chun Wei Dabi, who has a subject every three years, this deputy chief examiner is a tasteless person, neither as glamorous as the chief examiner, nor as directly involved in the scoring of papers to determine life and death like the same examiner, so he is not at all. I didn't pay much attention to it, so when it was decided that he would be the deputy chief examiner, I also felt that it was just a routine job, no big deal, and there were customizations to follow.

  But I didn't expect Qiao Yingjia to say such a thing.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth. The emperor was not satisfied with the last subject, thinking that he was too conservative and did not promote outstanding talents. It is estimated that there will be some big problems in the exam questions of this subject. Variety.

  Seeing that Gu Bingqian was thinking, Qiao Yingjia knew that some words should be enough. This guy is also not an easy character. Although his character is a bit unbearable, he naturally has his own ability to get to this position.

   "Master Qiao is right, I must be able to uphold the holy will..."

Gu Bingqian is also trying to figure out Qiao Yingjia's intentions. Of course he knows that Qiao Yingjia has a close relationship with Qingtan Academy, but this kind of Chunwei competition is a gathering of elites from the entire Zhou Dynasty, and the transcription of their names is strict, and no one can violate the rules of heaven. , even if the other party wants to take care of a certain person, it is impossible.

   "Well, it's good that Mr. Gu has this heart. I'm afraid that some people will be so confused that it will be difficult for them to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts and still follow the old routine..." Qiao Yingjia nodded again.

  Gu Bingqian understood, this person is reminding himself that this subject can no longer be like the previous one, it is just the old chief examiner of Fangge,...

  Seeing that Gu Bingqian's expression changed slightly, Qiao Yingjia didn't say any more, just nodded and smiled, and said goodbye.

  Gu Bingqian looked at the back of Qiao Yingjia leaving, and his heart was also ups and downs.

Lin Shenghui, an academician of Qingtanshu, lost a lot of points with the emperor because of his carelessness the year before, which made him very anxious, and he always hoped to restore the Sacred Heart. Now it seems that this Ke Chunwei seems to be an opportunity?

Qiao Yingjia's thoughts can also be roughly guessed. There are dozens of people in Qingtan Academy's current Branch Chunwei. They exert some influence so that they cannot be overwhelmed in these aspects.

   This is not impossible, after all, the emperor also has this intention, but I am afraid that if he wants to confront Fang Congzhe, he will inevitably have a dispute with Fang Congzhe.

  Furthermore, Fang Congzhe and those fellow examiners would definitely not agree with his opinion, so this debate may have to be exhausted from top to bottom.

However, Gu Bingqian has no scruples about this. He has never had a good face from Fang Congzhe. Maybe it is because of this that the emperor arranged himself to be the deputy chief examiner. The more Gu Bingqian thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible. great.

   At this time, he was sweating instead. If he was as careless as usual, maybe the emperor's intentions would fail again.

  It doesn't matter if Fang Congzhe is the old man at that time, I'm afraid that his holy family will really be lost.

  Thinking of this, Gu Bingqian immediately became nervous.

I am afraid that it is rare to turn the situation around by myself. There are only two directors of the Ministry of Rites among the ten classmates this time. They are obviously unable to compete with the group of Imperial Academy attendants who have been attached to the cabinet for a long time, but this is a bit of a headache. .

   Moreover, the two principals wanted them to confront the elder Ge who was the chief examiner. I'm afraid they didn't have the courage.

  Gu Bingqian knew that the ultimate responsibility for this matter had to fall on himself, so he took a deep breath, looked in the direction of Meridian Gate, and then moved forward.

More than a month passed by in a blink of an eye for the students of the academy. Even the spring break was meaningless to Feng Ziying and the others. , At least we must persist in our efforts until the last moment, success or failure will be decided by God.

   Qiao Yingjia had no news, and even if there was any news, she would not tell herself. Feng Ziying knew very well that in the end, she had to rely on herself.

  However, Zhou Chaozong's views still moved him. If he followed the rules, or even performed occasionally, he might not be able to break through in this subject.

   This requires the right time, place and people. One depends on the test questions, the second depends on the examiner, and the third depends on one's own performance.

  As the days passed, the first month of the lunar year almost passed by, and most of the scholars from the 15th provinces of the Great Week had begun to gather in the capital city one after another years ago.

Either rely on temples or Taoist temples, or rent private houses and hostels. All in all, it has been seen that there are more and more scholars speaking with various accents in the capital city every day, and even many students who are not qualified for reference are flocking here. Come and see these three An annual event.

  Thousands of the most energetic and talented scholars of Dazhou finally gathered in the capital city before February 9, waiting for the most intense and grand moment.
