Chapter 200 The Analects of Confucius
"No! No!"
"Are they doing anything in the test questions?"
The reason why Xia Fang had such doubts was because there was something strange about this examination.
"What can you do!" Du Chunqiu said forcefully and calmly, "If anything happens, it will be Mr. Liu's responsibility. We don't have to worry at all. Don't be impatient and end up making yourself angry."
Xia Fang sighed: "I'm not impatient, it's just... this should have been done by the examiner, but now... it's against the rules!"
Du Chunqiu said with a smile: "There are not many things that are not well behaved in the undergraduate examination? The person in there came with the imperial edict! Do you have any advice?"
Xia Fang looked at the examiner examination door, sighed, and said: "It's so quiet at night, it makes people feel scared. Alas, the emperor has always been partial to the Sixth Master, and he even dug up the underground palace of Da Ci'en Temple. What happened? It’s okay! If something happens to this department, I’m afraid we will still have to bear the blame!”
While the two were talking, the door was pushed open hard.
Tu Zhiyou ran in running and jumping, his feet trembling and his hands shaking, and he said: "What's the matter! What's the matter! It's an insult to politeness! It's an insult to politeness! I want to interfere with him! I want to interfere with him!"
Du Chunqiu knew as soon as he heard that something must have happened!
He stood up from his seat and asked: "But the test questions match the shoes and the article in the post?"
Tu Zhiyou said angrily: "Yes, yes! But that's not what I'm talking about!"
Xia Fang felt relieved when he saw Tu Zhiyou coming back.
He did not stand up, but just sat down and asked: "Tu Hanlin, what's wrong with you? What could make you so anxious?"
Tu Zhiyou said very unhappily: "What else happened? Xia Daizhao, look! Come and see for yourself! Du Shilang, come and take a look too!"
Tu Zhiyou said, pressing the paper in his hand on the table in front of Xia Fang.
That's the paper that just came out, but it's not all of it.
There are a total of seven questions to be asked in the first session, and naturally there are seven papers for the seven questions.
What Tu Zhiyou got back was the question paper for one of the questions.
Before Xia Fang could read the paper, the impatient Du Chunqiu had already rushed over and pulled the paper over.
Xia Fang shook his head and did not argue with Du Chunqiu. He just picked up the tea bowl in front of the case.ωωw..net
After Du Chunqiu took one look, his eyes widened!
He looked at the test questions on the paper in a daze, and asked stammering: "This, this, this, this is the test question?"
Tu Zhiyou said angrily: "What else could the test questions printed on the paper be?"
"Is this a question asked by my ministers in the Ministry of Rites? Was it selected by the emperor?"
"How could the Ministry of Rites ask such a question? How could the emperor choose such a question? Didn't the person in it make up a question? You should know by looking at this unorthodox test question that it can only come from the Hun Luo. !How do you distribute such test questions to candidates to take the exam?"
At this time, Hou Buping walked in from outside.
As he approached, he said: "Tu Hanlin! Tu Hanlin! Don't be anxious!"
Du Chunqiu rolled his eyes and suddenly said loudly: "Okay! Well done!"
"What?" Tu Zhiyou felt that Du Chunqiu must have been confused by anger, how could he say such a thing.
Du Chunqiu said loudly: "That's no problem! The title comes from the Analects of Confucius. What's the problem?"
Tu Zhiyou gritted his teeth and said: "Shilang Du! You are also a second-ranking official, and you have been awarded the title of Shilang! It is not too much to grant you a bachelor's degree! Please stop being vindictive! This is not a joke! This is a general examination, and it is a test question! This is the grand ceremony of the country!”
Xia Fang quickly whispered: "Tu Hanlin! Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down! Don't wake up the guy inside!"
Hou Buping shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Shilang Du is going to quarrel with him! Tu Hanlin is really angry!"
Xia Fang was a little puzzled. He had been sitting down just now. Although the paper was placed in front of his case for a while, he immediately asked Du Chunqiu to take it away. He had not read the test question.
When Tu Zhiyou saw that Xia Fang was looking very leisurely and holding a tea bowl to drink tea, he became angry.
He pulled the paper out of Du Chunqiu's hand and pressed it in front of Xia Fang's case with a slap.
While Xia Fang was drinking tea, he glanced at the paper.
Suddenly, Xia Fang turned sideways and squirted all the tea he had been swallowing towards Tu Zhiyou who was standing by the table.
Because the paper cannot get dirty!
Xia Fang put down the tea bowl and kept coughing.
But Tu Zhiyou took a step back and hurriedly wiped off the water stains on his body. But he did not blame Xia Fang, but felt that his reaction was very real!
Xia Fang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, and looked back at the paper.
Xia Fang put away his scarf and read out the question on the paper in a rhetorical tone: "Mrs. Jun, do you want to have sex?"
This question really comes from the Analects of Confucius.
The last sentence in Chapter 16 of the Analects of Confucius is: "When foreigners call her, she is also called Mrs. Jun."
But then the seventeenth chapter begins: "Yang Huo wanted to see Confucius, but Confucius did not see him."
Put them all together and delete the beginning and end, and it becomes "Mrs. Jun's sexual desire".
When a scholar sees a topic like this, he has to think about what is going on.
This test question is full of ambiguity!
Xia Fang turned to look at Hou Buping and said quickly: "Hou Youdu! Has this title been printed off?"
Hou Buping nodded lightly.
Du Chunqiu said anxiously: "How can such a question be asked? It's even printed!"
Tu Zhiyou said: "I was arguing with Hou You just now about this! I said I couldn't seal it! He insisted on sealing it!"
Hou Buping said helplessly: "If this were not the case, I'm afraid this subject would be over!"
"It's over after you print it!" Tu Zhiyou became more and more anxious.
Du Chunqiu calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "Actually... it's okay to print it out..."
Tu Zhiyou said anxiously: "Shilang Du! What do you mean?"
Du Chunqiu did not answer immediately, but Hou Buping said: "Sixth Master was appointed by the emperor to be the examiner, and he was extremely reluctant to do so! Du Shilang, do you remember how Mr. Liu quarreled with the emperor when he was in court? Yes? Mr. Liu asked such a question, which shows that he wants to ruin this subject!"
Du Chunqiu asked: "What do you think, Mr. Liu?"
Hou Buping looked at the direction of the bunk at the back of the room and said softly: "I'm afraid the emperor wanted to create a party for Master Liu, so that's why this happened. Besides..."
Hou Buping didn't want to say it, but now he had to say it.
He added: "The first two subjects' examination questions were leaked. I'm afraid it wasn't in the Ministry of Rites or the examination room. I think... I think it was in the palace! Matters in the palace have always been secretive, and neither Prime Minister Cao nor the uncles dared to do so. Take this matter as an example! Looking at the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, whether inside or outside, if there is anyone who can really solve this case, it must be the Hunshiyan Luo inside who is not afraid of heaven and earth!"
Du Chunqiu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He felt in his heart that Hou Buping could be respected by the prince, and his views were indeed unfair to others.
Xia Fang also figured it out. He said: "He must pass this subject safely! Even if there are questions in the questions, he must pass it! In fact, we are all acting as foils. This matter is between the Sixth Master and the Emperor!"
Tu Zhiyou hurriedly said: "No! The Talent Ceremony must not be destroyed in the hands of that evil Yama!"
"Tu Hanlin! You..." Hou Buping started to get a little anxious when he saw someone supporting Tu Zhiyou or saying he was not convinced by Tu Zhiyou.
Before Hou Buping finished speaking, Liu Yongming walked out with a water glass.
"Is it over yet? Don't let me sleep anymore! I can't sleep well without a woman holding me in my arms! If you keep making noise like this, I will have to invigilate the exam tomorrow!"
When everyone heard Liu Yongming yelling and cursing loudly, they immediately closed their mouths and bowed their heads respectfully to Liu Yongming.
Tu Zhiyou was really anxious now.
I don't know whether he was anxious about the exam questions or because the third watch had passed, but it seemed as if nothing had happened in Chang'an City.
Liu Yongming was actually thinking about what was going on in Prince Yu's Mansion now!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Yongming asked: "What's wrong? No more talking? Just now it was so noisy that it felt like a boiling pot!"
As soon as Liu Yongming finished speaking, Tu Zhiyou had an idea.
He thought to himself, if he was going to confront Liu Yongming and had to go to the Holy See first, would he be able to leave the Gongyuan instead?
When Tu Zhiyou thought of this, he raised his head and said anxiously: "Sixth Master! You can't answer those test questions!"
Liu Yongming's expression changed, but instead of becoming serious, he changed into a smiley face.
Liu Yongming walked up with a shy face, handed the cup over, and said in a soft voice: "Tu Hanlin is angry because of the exam questions! Don't be angry, don't be angry! Drink water, drink water!"
Tu Zhiyou snorted and turned away.
Liu Yongming laughed and said: "I have no choice but to be considerate of me! According to the rules, after the examination, should the candidates come to pay homage to me as their 'honored teacher'?"
After the examination, the candidates who won the Gongshi award would visit the examiner at home to thank them for admitting them. Some even called them their mentors, which is why Liu Yongming said this.
When Liu Yongming saw that Tu Zhiyou didn't answer, he added: "My king's nickname is Hunshi Yanluo. If they come, they will feel embarrassed. If they don't come, they will be disrespectful in the eyes of others! Only when everyone scolds the examiner together, they will I will feel at ease not to come!”
Tu Zhiyou seemed to have a bad face when he listened to Liu Yongming's explanation.
Tu Zhiyou said: "How do you ask them to write this kind of question?"
Liu Yongming smiled and said: "For the sake of fame, they must be able to write well! If they are ambitious, they can hand in a blank paper and skip the exam!"
"You!" Tu Zhiyou said angrily: "I will go into the palace to face the saint now! You will never be allowed to do anything wrong!"
Liu Yongming said: "The Gongyuan gate is closed! You can't get out! The palace gate is also closed, and you can't even enter the palace!"
Chapter completed!
