Now I heard that no one could answer it, so they would not be eliminated because of this question.
Many students were so excited that they shed tears, as they still had hope of passing the imperial examination.
[My uncle finally brought up the policy question.]
That question was indeed difficult. Not to mention these students, even knowledgeable scholars might not be able to answer it well.
But Na Cewen was well-versed in history and current affairs. He not only asked about the current situation in the court, but also supported it with examples from the past.
Students are required to have not only solid knowledge, but also unique insights.
Among this group of candidates, only Tang Yi answered the questions based on his own ability.
Jiang Chuyuan had already learned about this from his sister's thoughts, and he also saw the question after the Spring Examination.
The question was indeed good, although not many people could answer it, but just as my uncle expected, anyone who could answer it would be a talent.
He should be on the list.
"Brother Tang, you are very knowledgeable. I wonder if you can answer that question?"
Yang Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Tang Yi hopefully.
At this moment, he hoped that he could answer it. Otherwise, other students had not been able to answer such a difficult question. If he answered it, it would be too conspicuous.
It would be bad if someone found out.
If Tang Yi could also answer it, then all eyes would be focused on him.
Even if Tang Yi wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't lie, so he had to nod in agreement.
"I did answer that question, but I don't know if my answer will be appreciated."
After all, thinking of Jiang Chuyuan's warning, he didn't dare to speak too confidently.
"Brother Tang is indeed very talented."
Yang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Tang Yi could answer it, it would be fine.
Many students who were originally depressed because they had no questions were delighted when they knew they still had hope.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank, and after three rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk.
Jiang Chuyuan wanted to take care of Jiang Qingwan, so he declined and didn't drink.
Tang Yi's face was flushed and his eyes were a little hazy. He was obviously drunk.
After getting drunk, he became bolder and stood on the table, reciting poems aloud.
In Jiang Qingwan's view, there was a bit of another world, the figure of Li Bai.
But people are never perfect. Li Bai was extremely talented and wrote countless classic poems, but he was ultimately not suitable for the court.
Tang Yi is also very talented, with excellent appearance and character, but he is too arrogant.
In his eyes, perhaps except for Jiang Chuyuan, everyone else is not as young and talented as him.
Especially after receiving compliments from other students, he began to feel complacent again.
Just listen to him say.
"The question posed by the Minister of State was not difficult at all. I answered it easily."
"Brother Tang is truly talented. He will definitely be among the top three this time."
Someone started setting a trap for Tang Yi again.
Jiang Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. "It's over."
Sure enough, I heard Tang Yi say that sentence again.
"The top three is a matter for later. Anyway, I will definitely be on the list of this spring exam."
In his previous life, Tang Yi said this because of his personality and he said it unintentionally.
But this time, it was obvious that someone had been luring him and setting a trap for him while he was drunk.
Jiang Chuyuan did not step forward to stop him. He had already reminded them.
Even if someone else did it on purpose, it was Tang Yi who said it after all.
He could remind him once or twice, but he couldn't stay with him forever.
Tang Yi will enter the officialdom in the future, where intrigues are inevitable. If he doesn't change his character, something will happen sooner or later.
In that case, let him learn a lesson this time.
If he could escape this disaster, he would know what to say and what not to say when he enters the officialdom in the future.
If he had not escaped, even if he could not enter the official career, he would be the son of Princess De'an and would be able to inherit the title in the future.
[Sure enough, some people can't be changed. Tang Yi still follows the path in the book.]
However, Tang Yi was even more arrogant than the book described him to be. Not only were the students jealous, but even he himself wanted to bring him down and let him experience the pain of having his talent nowhere to display.
Next, Tang Yi said many arrogant words, as if all the students present were inferior to him.
Jiang Chuyuan and his sister all watched the scene in silence.
There were no cameras in this era, otherwise Jiang Qingwan really wanted to record his appearance and let him see it for himself when he woke up.
next day
Tang Yi didn't remember anything he had said to himself.
All I knew was that I was drunk. I had no idea what happened afterwards, nor did I know how I got back to the post station.
"Why am I here?"
Tang Yi was a little confused. He thought Jiang Chuyuan would take him back to the Jiang family.
"You were drunk, so I brought you back."
Yang Lin replied, "Master Xiao Jiang left early."
"Well, my health has improved a lot now, and I really can't live in the Jiang family forever."
Tang Yi asked cautiously, "Did I say anything wrong at the banquet yesterday?"
"No, Brother Tang did read a few poems, they were really good."
Yang Lin took out a piece of paper and said, "Look, I wrote it all down."
Tang Yi looked at the poems he had recited and confirmed that there was no problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After being tired for a few days, Tang Yi took a good rest at the post station.
On the day of the results announcement, he and Yang Lin were waiting at the announcement area early in the morning.
The results were not announced until almost noon.
When he saw his name was the first one, Tang Yi shouted excitedly, although he was sure in his heart that he would be admitted to high school.
But as Jiang Chuyuan said, no one can be 100% sure before the results are announced, and he is also worried.
The first name was Tang Yi, and the second was Yang Lin, which surprised him a little.
He was aware of Yang Lin's knowledge. Although he might be able to pass the high school entrance examination, he shouldn't be ranked so high.
But he didn't doubt anything, he just felt that Yang Lin performed exceptionally well.
The two are good friends and fellow townsmen, and he is genuinely happy for his brother.
“It’s great that we went to high school together.”
Yang Lin's eyes were fixed on the name on the list. "Yes, I finally got into high school."
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, even though his Yang family was the richest in Jiangnan, they were always looked down upon because no one in their family had entered the officialdom.
Now, he has finally graduated from high school, and no one can bully his Yang family anymore.
He now felt that it was worth spending so much money.
As for the palace examination in the future, he didn't care. He knew that with his own abilities, it was impossible for him to get into the top three.
At most, he could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
He would be content if he could pass the imperial examination and get an official position.
