There is an official residence in the city, which the emperor specially granted Wang Hao and Liu the opportunity to meet the current governor of Southern Zhili.
Because some candidates have to wait until the next year to arrive in the capital, there were only about fifty people attending the visit this time.
"Everyone, you are well"
Every time someone comes, someone will surround them and say hello.
Tang Yin came very early and sat alone, looking alone.
Like Zhang Zhou, who was arrogant and unruly, Tang Yin also gained a reputation as a libertine after arriving in the capital. Others were only superficially polite to him. After a brief greeting, no one would discuss knowledge or knowledge with him. About the exam.
They probably all think that we can’t afford to offend you if you are so awesome.
When Wang Hao and Liu Ji arrived, basically the same number of people could come.
"Master"
Everyone gathered around.
The students did not expect Wang Hao and Liu Jiji to be so approachable. They showed up together as soon as they showed up, without anyone passing them around or putting on any airs.
Especially now that Wang Hao is still a bachelor, and he has been promoted a lot more than before. With Wang Hao's reputation, the candidates for this Jiangnan Provincial Examination will also have more face, and they will be able to serve as officials in the court in the future. Join Wang Hao's faction and have a bright future.
"Bohu"
When Wang Hao came this time, the two people he cared about the most were Tang Yin and Zhang Zhou.
But Zhang Zhou has not shown up yet, so he can only say hello to Tang Yin first. Wang Hao admires Tang Yin very much, and even feels a little regretful that he did not take Tang Yin as Jieyuan.
Tang Yin quickly saluted Wang Hao.
At this moment, someone suddenly asked, "Two masters, after entering the hospital today, we saw a lot of imperial guards. Why?"
A question that changed the atmosphere of the scene. Somewhat depressing and tense.
Wang Hao and Liu Ji couldn't help but look at each other. They obviously couldn't answer this question head-on. < /p>
Those of us who are teachers used to be able to speak eloquently and point out the country in front of the students, but it is different today. We are also ordered to make connections for that person.
"Don't mind things outside the window. Today we will only talk about knowledge and nothing else." Liu Ji said with a smile.
"Coming"
While he was talking, someone came over to deliver a message.
Wang Hao and Liu Ji probably knew who was coming, but none of the students present knew.
I was thinking that even two masters did not need to be announced when they entered. Who can have such a big air?
After the others came in, there would be one among the scholars immediately. This person recognized it.
"Zhang Bingkuan"
The scene became noisy.
Zhang Zhou did not expect that he would become a celebrity not long after entering the capital.
TodayHe did not come alone, because there was a naughty kid waiting for him outside
These Jinyi guards were not here to protect him, but Zhu Houzhao insisted on coming with him. Zhu Youtang was screwed However, in the end, someone was sent to protect Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Youtang made a three-part agreement with his son in advance, stating that he would listen to Zhang Zhou for everything he came here to do. Naturally, Zhang Zhou would not bring Zhu Houzhao when he came in to meet his classmates.
After meeting the teachers and classmates in the same department, Zhang Zhou also went to the Imperial College to participate in an "interview".
Zhu Houzhao will also follow.
Liu Ji and Wang Hao are both his husbands. It would be a big deal if he was told that the prince was following him out for a walk.
Zhang Zhou stepped forward, looking very high-profile, and saluted Wang Hao and Liu Ji directly with his hands, "Student Zhang Zhou, I have met these two teachers."
"Yes. "
Liu Ji smiled and nodded. He had no prejudice against Zhang Zhou.
On the contrary, Wang Hao's expression on the side was very tense. It could be seen that he seemed to regret promoting Zhang Zhou to Jieyuan now.
Since Zhang Zhou became Jieyuan, his actions have completely exceeded the scope of a scholar. Wang Hao, like those old-fashioned Confucian scholars, does not support his students to engage in those ridiculous things. , and I don’t want Zhang Zhou to be in the limelight.
If Zhang Zhou had visited him earlier and he could have persuaded him, he might not have had this sense of alienation. Now that the two meet again, Wang Hao seems to want to show some distinction with Zhang Zhou. look.
"Sit down." Wang Hao just greeted Zhang Zhou in the most ordinary way.
The students present then took their seats.
There was no ranking. Those who came first sat in the front, and those who came later sat in the back, so Zhang Zhou sat in the last position.
In the regular meeting, Liu Ji and Wang Hao just made some expectations for everyone's exams in the coming year and asked everyone to go back and prepare for the exams.
Nothing to say.
It was nothing more than the Luming Banquet, and there was no banquet. After a brief explanation, Wang Hao went to the back hall first on the grounds that he still had something to do.
Liu Jize smiled and greeted all the students, and finally encouraged Zhang Zhou, saying that Zhang Zhou had the "talent of the number one scholar", which could be regarded as completing the errand given by the emperor, and then He also entered the inner hall.
"The Number One Talent"
After the two masters left, Zhang Zhou instantly became the target of public criticism.
Zhang Zhou was not interested in this group of people at all. His eyes only fell on the skinny Tang Bohu.
Different from Tang Yin's arrogance when he provoked him several times in the past, the Tang Yin he saw this time was very low-key. Sitting there gave people the feeling of being trapped on the ground and did not say hello to anyone.
Wang Hao and Liu Ji left, and he didn’t say anything about coming over to issue a gauntlet or anything.
Zhang Zhou said, "Everyone, I did something earlier and delayed the Luming Banquet. After arriving in the capital, I didn't want to have a cultural meeting with you. I would like to express my apologies first.There is still a small personal grudge that needs to be resolved between me and the Prime Minister of Tang Yin and Tang Dynasty. ”
After saying that, Zhang Zhou walked up to Tang Yin in full view of everyone.
Tang Yin also stood up.
Zhang Zhou took a good look at Tang Yin. After some time, I felt that Tang Yin was a bit "unattractive", with a thin and wrinkled face. Maybe Tang Yin was not used to the dry weather in the north. In addition, Tang Yin still had a goatee. He was not thirty years old and looked like he was in his forties. The feeling of a little old man.
Just such a talented man
“Brother Tang, we finally have a chance to meet. "Zhang Zhou laughed.
Tang Yin's face was grim.
He had spent so much effort to find Zhang Zhou, issued a letter of challenge, and went to the gate of the Imperial College to block people, but he still didn't meet him. .
Now that he learned that Zhang Zhou had taken an unusual approach and gained recognition from the court by treating the plague, when Tang Yin learned about the situation from Wang Mao, Zhang Zhou took the initiative to show up.
< p>Tang Yin said, "I invited you several times before, why didn't you come?""There are too many things to do. "Zhang Zhou had a kind smile on his face, "I heard that Brother Tang has always wanted to discuss academic matters with me. It's better to meet by chance than to invite me. It's rare to meet you today, so why not discuss it on the spot."
Tang Yin frowned.
It's not that he didn't dare, but he wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner now.
Zhang Zhou's publicity has attracted so much criticism, but Zhang Zhou's publicity has attracted so much criticism. Zhou is qualified to make publicity, Tang Yin is just a Jiangnan rural examination subdivision, and he is not qualified enough.
What qualifications do he have to challenge Zhang Zhou?
Tang Yin said coldly, "I will see you in the examination. High and low. This seems to be what you, Zhang Gongsheng, said. ”
“Hahaha, that’s right. Too many people knew that I was just a regular prisoner and thought I was a soft persimmon. They wanted to compare my knowledge with me, but there is no comparison in this kind of thing. After becoming a Jinshi, being ranked in the court class is no more useful than it is now. But I still feel that there seems to be some grievances between you and Brother Tang in the past life, so I have to compare myself."
"Comparison "What?"
Tang Yin was instantly aroused with the desire to win.
Be polite to you, do you really think I stopped and didn't dare to compete?
Zhang Zhoudao said, "We still have to rely on the next spring to determine victory or defeat. In this way, if I can't be named on the gold list next year, then I, Zhang, will accept the promotion of people and officials, and will never take part in the examination again."
"Ah"< /p>
The people at the scene were just watching the excitement.
After hearing Zhang Zhou’s words, the group of people felt as if they had been beaten to death.
Something good happened. The people quickly pulled Zhang Yiyi and said, "Zhang Jieyuan, even if you are talented, there is no need to take such an oath. How can you only take the exam once? If you fail, you will have many opportunities in the future." "
Tang Yin did not expect that Zhang Zhou would dare to say such harsh words.
According to a normal bet, Tang Yin should also be reciprocal.
But Tang Yin thought that if he failed this time, he would not take the exam again. How could that be possible
Is it so easy to pass the Jinshi exam? Many talented people have gone through the baptism of several examinations. Even those who are old members of the government dare not say that they can pass the Jinshi exam in one go.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Tang, don't you dare to take it?"
"You"
Tang Yin originally asked himself whether he would lose to Zhang Zhou, but just He felt like he lost if he established an FG.
But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you dare? If I, Tang, don't pass the exam, then"
"Wait"
Zhang Zhou stopped Tang Yin.
Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief. He had been put on fire just now, and he almost made a vow in public that he would never take the exam again after failing once.
You can ignore this kind of thing afterwards, but you probably won’t be able to hold your head high and be a good person in the future.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhou stopped him.
But it was just a temporary stop. Who knows what Zhang Zhou was thinking. < /p>
"What do you mean?" Tang Yin felt that his head was a bit big. < /p>
Zhang Zhou naturally has this confidence.
He knew that if he failed, it would be unnecessary for him to prepare for another three years and take the exam again. Even the emperor had arranged another path for him to enter the court, so why not change his mind?
p>
If he really had to prepare for another three years, he would be afraid that the examination status would not be as good as it is today, and each session would be worse than the last. He didn't want to be a repeater, it would be too tiring. < /p>
When the people around heard this, they all started talking.
What kind of competition is this?
Tang Yin sneered and said, "You asked me to worship you as my teacher."
"Wrong, I just asked you to become the same disciple as me. Master, you will be my junior brother from now on, and I will be your senior brother. From now on, if we have someone to look after you in court, or whatever you do in the future, you have to listen to me."
Tang Yin gritted his teeth and did not agree. .
Someone on the side reminded, "Zhang Jieyuan, you seem to be at a disadvantage if you do this."
"Yes, if you fail, if you don't take the Jinshi exam, he will fail or be ranked higher than you "I'm just being your junior brother, what does that mean?"
A group of people were talking about it.
Everyone seems to feel that this competition is very unfair.
Zhang Zhoulang said: "Everyone, everyone has their own ambitions, so why should we think about it? I just want to take the general examination once, and if I fail, I will never take the imperial examination again. But Tang Yin is determined to be in high school. If he doesn't If you are willing to advance and retreat with him, your rivals in the literary world can also become brothers in the same discipline, why not?"
Zhang Zhou'sIt was the last protection for Tang Yin.
Now the examiner has not changed. You, Tang Yin, also went to see Cheng Minzheng early. You are still so flamboyant. If you are destined to be involved in the case, I will save you. A bright eye.
If I say that you are my junior disciple who has never passed the examination, will this sound a good reason?
As for the disciples
I have the same imperial examination and rashly accept others as my disciples. Disciple, this is a bit ridiculous.
But if I join the same master, and the master is just made up by me, then from now on it will be whatever my senior brother says.
Zhang Zhou said, "Brother Tang, do you dare to accept this?" It's a competition."
Tang Yin was looked around by everyone and found that everyone looking at him had evil intentions.
Originally, he could just walk away, but when he thought about the previous visits to Wang Hao, Wang Hao felt a sense of regret for him. He thought about how he had invited Zhang Zhou to fight several times but failed, and was despised by Zhang Zhou. This time, even if he didn't want to pick it up, he still had to pick it up.
"Okay" Tang Yin agreed.
Now the crowd became lively.
Some people advised, "Bohu, you have to be careful. It is not a good thing to be someone's junior disciple."
Some people asked, "Who do you want to be your teacher?" "
I don't even know who the master is, I just know that I want to be the same master. This kind of invitation to bet is unheard of.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just wait until you reach high school, Brother Tang. I'll take my leave."
"Wait."
Tang Yin said, "If You and I are both Jinshi, but my ranking is higher than yours."
Tang Yin thought that in this competition, there seemed to be some conditions that had to be met, but they were not included in the final gathering.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "At that time, you and I were ministers in the same palace, taking care of each other, and you still insist on competing with Brother Tang. Don't you have the courage?"
"Why don't you dare?" Tang Yin couldn't get off the stage now, so he could only be led by Zhang Zhou, "This agreement was made in public. You Zhang better not break your promise. If you break your promise to become my teacher, I won't care if you don't take the entrance exam again." "The oath."
Tang Yin can be regarded as "showing mercy."
Leave a "way out" for Zhang Zhou.
If you fail the exam and become my teacher, I will treat your vow today as invalid.
Zhang Zhouxin said, I am going to break the contract. Why not break the oath to worship you as my teacher, and then abide by one thing and violate the other thing? Do you, Tang Yin, have a missing string in your head?
Studying is stupid, right?
Zhang Zhou said, "Everyone, I will go back and study hard, lest you fail next year and lose your qualifications to participate in the Spring Festival in the future. You can also spread today's events to the capital. As everyone knows, I just want to make this last ditch effort to encourage you all."
The fellow imperial examiners present looked at each other.
It is said that Tang Yin is uninhibited, but when he met Zhang Bingkuan, he was really nothing compared to the big one.
