Song Chi transmigrated, becoming the son of the reigning Chief Grand Secretary. He aspired to a life of beautiful wives and concubines, an idle playboy who muddled through life, but instead became ...
The writing is sophisticated, the arguments detailed, and the points made are perfect.
The well-known saying of "cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and bring peace to the world" is written vividly.
Liu He asked himself that he had never seen such a wonderful article, and the poems were even better. At first glance, it was obvious that the writer was at the level of a top writer in a literary circle, and one could not help but admire him.
The scriptures and the meaning of the text are equally brilliant, and the dictation questions are exactly the same.
He subconsciously looked at Ma Jingming. Didn't Song Chi finish answering the question when he was being challenged? How could he answer so perfectly?
However, this test paper was read by Principal Wang, which caused trouble.
At this time, Dean Wang asked, "Can this exam paper become the best in the academy?"
Liu He stammered and was unable to speak. He didn't dare to say anything carelessly.
At this moment, Ma Jingming walked over and snatched the test paper from Liu He's hands. After looking at it for a moment, he said coldly, "The arguments are ordinary, the rhetoric is flowery but not substantial, and it's just for show. How can such an article be worthy of being ranked first?"
After the words fell, Shanzhang Wang was incredulous: "Ma Xuezheng, what did you say?"
"Didn't you hear clearly? What I said is that this article cannot be the first one, and the rest don't need to be reviewed. If Shanzhang Wang disagrees, we can hold a public review, and the minority will obey the majority."
His expression was resolute, which made Liu He stunned.
Ma Xuezheng is really the number one person who tells lies with his eyes open.
No wonder he was favored by the Prime Minister, he is indeed brave.
"No need for that. If this test paper cannot be ranked first, I will go directly to the capital to ask His Majesty for a decision!" Principal Wang's expression was even more resolute.
"No need, no need."
Liu He hurriedly tried to mediate, but he also felt that what Ma Xuezheng had said just now was inappropriate. Everyone knew what kind of temper Wang Shanzhang had, and he was very stubborn. He could have talked to you reasonably, and there might be room for easing the situation.
If you force him like this, he won't be able to bear it.
Others may say this to scare you, but Director Wang can really do it.
If we really take the test papers to the capital to ask His Majesty to evaluate them, something big will happen.
Ma Jingming looked unhappy, but he was actually happy in his heart. He knew the temper of Wang Shanchang and he was deliberately provoking him. If there was a public review, there would be many people on his side. If someone tried to harm him, it was very likely that Song Chi, the first defendant in the case, would be gone.
What inspired Wang Shanchang to say this was that even if Xu Zhoumu was standing here, no one would dare to interfere.
"Good is good, bad is bad. You are the provincial education commissioner. How can you lie so openly? Do you not want to be an official anymore?"
Ma Jingming hesitated to speak, then swung his sleeves and said, "You are reviewers, what does it have to do with me?"
He pretended to be angry and left, but it was actually an excuse to avoid.
"snort!"
Shanzhang Wang asked, "Does anyone have any other opinions?"
No one dared to speak, even Liu He hid far away.
This Song Chi is really weird. It’s not that they don’t do anything, but they really can’t stop him.
The marking of the papers was still in progress, and Song Chi was ranked first without any surprise. The papers of the forty admitted candidates were also sorted out, and the next step was to remove the masking and prepare for the announcement of the results.
Ma Jingming still did not show up, as if he was angry with Wang Shanchang.
"First place in the case, Song Chi."
Director Wang personally removed the name mask, and someone else was recording it.
"Next is Wang Wen."
"Who is this Wang Wen? He even managed to get second place, and his writing is also very good."
"Judging from his mature writing style, this shouldn't be his first time taking the college entrance examination."
"Deputy Academician Liu, who is this Wang Wen?" someone asked.
Liu He was slightly stunned. If he remembered correctly, this Wang Wen was a member of the Donglin Academy and one of Song Chi's "disciples".
This is impossible!
His elder brother Liu Feng, the supervisor of Nandu Academy, said that the person that Qingting Pavilion is going to train this year is named Li Cheng. This boy is a newcomer, but he is very talented. He was arranged by Xuzhou Mu and joined Qingke Pavilion early. With his talent, it will be no problem for him to win the first place in the case.
And before the exam started, I leaked the test questions to him, but I didn't expect that he didn't even get second place.
"Third place, Li Cheng."
Li Cheng's name finally appeared, but Liu He was not happy. Instead, he looked worried.
This college entrance examination was a complete failure.
When Master Ming knows the result, I don’t know how angry he will be.
"Lu Hanpeng!"
"Xu Ying."
"Li Tie."
As the names were read out one by one, Liu He's expression became more and more ugly.
He had obtained the list of people from Song Chi's side long ago, just to make things difficult for them during the exam. Now these familiar names have appeared, and fifteen out of the twenty-eight people have appeared.
This ratio is already exaggerated.
This is an academy exam, not a game of house.
Then a few more names were called out, and they were all from the Donglin Academy.
This is impossible!
Liu He walked over to Shanzhang Wang and watched him personally. Twenty people had already appeared.
"Zhuo Yutian, Yan Fanzhi..."
Three more people followed.
Crazy! Crazy!
Before the exam, they didn't take what Song Chi said seriously. They checked the background of everyone who joined Qingtingke. There were a few talented people among them, but most of them were very average. After evaluation, it was impossible for them to pass the college entrance examination within a year, and it would even be difficult to pass it for many years.
But now they have all passed, their test papers are right in front of us, and admission is based on merit, so there will definitely be no problem.
During the entire examination process, these people were the ones who were closely watched, and they had absolutely no chance of cheating.
In other words, they have talent and learning.
Does Song Chi really have such ability?
What method did he use to enable him to gain enlightenment and write such amazing articles under his guidance?
Not only Liu He was present, there were several others with the same expression.
There are twenty-seven people now, and one young man from the Gu family, Gu Ronghua, is still missing. If Gu Ronghua is also on the list, then all twenty-eight people led by Song Chi will have passed the college entrance examination.
impossible!
In this college entrance examination, the only person they didn't care about was Gu Ronghua. How could this rich young man pass the college entrance examination?
"Gu Ronghua, 38th place!"
Just then, his name was called out.
"I want to see his test paper!"
Liu He picked up Gu Ronghua's test paper and looked at it carefully as if he was crazy.
Shanzhang Wang said, "This ranking was chosen unanimously by everyone. There will be no problems. You participated in this process as well."
Liu He looked surprised and suspicious.
The results of this test are indeed average, but judging from the appearance of the paper, he is still among the candidates for admission.
All twenty-eight people passed.
Something big is going to happen!
Liu He hurried away to find Ma Jingming.
"Ma Xuezheng, this is terrible! It's really a ghost!"
"What's wrong?"
"Song Chi... All 28 people Song Chi led passed the entrance exam. Something big has happened!"
"What?"
Ma Jingming also widened his eyes. This was not an act. He expected Song Chi to win the first place, but he did not expect that he could really lead so many people to pass the college entrance examination.
Could it be that he really has the ability to turn stone into gold?
Liu He said in a deep voice, "There must be something fishy about this college entrance examination. I think we can ask the governor to postpone the announcement of the results and hold a re-examination!"
