The night is like the sea, dotted with stars.
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the rural examination examination papers are brightly lit, and a group of officials responsible for reviewing are working nervously and orderly to implement all the matters.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The day after tomorrow is the time to announce the results.
Hundreds of papers have been completed, and most of the results have been released.
These papers are first reviewed by fellow examiners and finally handed over to the chief examiner. And every procedure and every comment must be stamped with a special person's seal, which is very strict.
At the time of Haishi, Chu Yunyu, the Minister of Rites, came to inspect.
"Mr. Mao, how is your progress today?"
Maogong, whose surname is Chen, is the examiner appointed by the emperor for this year¡¯s rural examination. He is about fifty years old, with dark complexion and upright character. He is known as Qingtian.
He slightly cupped his hands and said: "It went quite smoothly. After calculation, we only have the last ten or so papers left."
Chu Yunyu said "Oh" casually, and asked casually: "This year's provincial examination, talented people from all over the country gathered together, a rare event in decades, and there must have been many beautiful articles in it."
Chen Maogong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's really good."
Chu Yunyu said: "Haha, the Holy Emperor is thirsty for talents. Hearing this, he must be very happy Well, can you let me take a sneak peek and read some good articles?"
As an inspector, although his request was against the rules, it was not excessive. There have been many similar examples in previous years.
Anyway, the process has reached this point and the dust has basically settled.
Duke Chen Maogong then selected the papers that passed the examination and handed them over: "Master Chu, please take a look."
Look, in order to avoid suspicion, it is natural to see him face to face.
Chu Yunyu was not polite, picked up the file that sealed the scholar's name and identity information, and looked at it carefully.
The first one wasn¡¯t right, the second one wasn¡¯t right either¡ and the third one didn¡¯t look right either.
He flipped through the pages very quickly, and after reading all these files one after another, he couldn't help but feel a little confused: among the many articles and handwriting comparisons, none of them matched Ye Junsheng's.
what happened?
Could it be that Ye Junsheng did not perform well and was not admitted?
Before this, Chu Yunyu had thought about countless possibilities, but he did not think about it this way. This is all because Ye Junsheng came out of nowhere in recent years and is very popular. Logically speaking, he is sure to win the provincial examination. Even if you don't understand Yuan, you should be fine if you win.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The halo of being the most talented person in the world above your head, etc., how could you stumble?
He pondered in his heart, but did not reveal any traces on the surface, so as not to be suspected by Chen Maogong, and said: "It is indeed good, the article is excellent, the flowers are clustered, and the quality is very good. It seems that the battle for Jieyuan is difficult to distinguish, and it is difficult to make a decision. "
Chen Maogong said: "The decision on Jieyuan still has to go through the Hanlin Academy before being selected."
Chu Yunyu said: "Of course I know this Well, there is still some time, how about giving me a few more test papers to see?"
Chen Maogong also handed over the remaining files.
Chu Yunyu took it and couldn¡¯t wait to look through it. However, after reading the last one, I still couldn't find the familiar handwriting.
It¡¯s so weird!
Is it possible that Ye Junsheng really lost his standard and fell into disgrace?
This is not impossible.
Since ancient times, the imperial examinations and provincial examinations have been very demanding, and many talented scholars have found it difficult to perform at their true level. Or maybe they have a brilliant mind but the article is not on topic, which leads to them being removed.
The imperial examination articles are rigorous in composition and not as wild as poetry. Therefore, many great poets repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations. In the end, they had to drink to relieve their sorrows and wander around the mountains and rivers, full of complaints.
Human sentiments are articles and exams. Only in this way can we achieve success in one fell swoop.
??????????????????????????????? If Ye Junsheng is really not shortlisted, haha, wouldn¡¯t it be a false alarm for himself and His Highness, and worry in vain, and all the back-ups would be useless?
Wanting to understand this level, Chu Yunyu suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Our side tried so hard to block and intercept, but always fell short of success. We thought that the situation was over, but Ye Junsheng lost an inch.
"As long as Ye Junsheng fails the examination this year, he will have to wait three years to take part in the next provincial examination. Three years is such a long time, enough time for a lot of things to happen.
For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has successfully ascended the throne.
At that time, no matter how much Ye Junsheng jumped, he would still be unable to escape from the palm of his hand. What's more, after Ye Junsheng failed the exam, the gap was so big that he could take action immediately.
He calmly handed the file back to Chen Maogong, and after chatting for a while, Chu Yunyu walked away. It is necessary to report this matter to His Highness as soon as possible, which is regarded as good news.

The night is getting darker, and the stars and moon are giving off their bright brilliance.
Counting the days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the moon is becoming more and more perfect.
Xishan Temple, backyard. The smelly monk and Huang Mengbi were all there, sitting together, but they were all silent, and the atmosphere was quite dull.
After a long time, the smelly monk couldn't help but say: "Are we just going to wait like this?"
Huang Mengbi rolled his eyes: "Everything that needs to be done has been done. Now we just have to wait. Everyone is waiting."
This "everyone" refers to representatives of all forces in the Thirty-three Heavens.
The smelly monk said angrily: "I just feel aggrieved."
Huang Mengbi sighed: "Smelly monk, you have such a bad temper. When we went down the mountain, I believe your old men should have made it clear. Luck in this world can be fought for, snatched, and borrowed, but it is irreversible. If Guoye Junsheng can really achieve things and become a god in the mortal world, that is his destiny."
The smelly monk said: "The problem is that Zhao Emei is obviously closer now and Yan Feixia is so elusive. Who knows what he is doing?"
Huang Mengbi laughed: "Nowadays, the situation is turbulent, and everyone uses their own ability to understand the general trend of luck. Near or far, it is a matter of stance. Sometimes it is too close, and I fall into it and struggle endlessly. . Besides, variables still exist. He, Ye Junsheng, will surely win? If he misses this year, his luck will turn around. After three years of wasted time, all hidden dragons will become snakes."
The smelly monk nodded repeatedly when he heard this: Don¡¯t forget, the seeds they planted before were by no means insignificant, they will definitely be used at the critical moment.
Huang Mengbi said again: "The day after tomorrow, you and I will go to the capital to see clearly."
The smelly monk should immediately say "good".
At this time, Master Jueming, the abbot of Xishan Temple, came to pay homage to the real person.
The smelly monk raised his eyebrows and remembered something. When he came to Xishan Temple, he noticed an evil aura rising into the sky from a distance, which was very similar to the aura of the evil ancestor in Yangzhou in the past. However, he then came down to the mountain to inspect, but unexpectedly he happened to be seen by Chu Yunyu, who started making trouble and had to leave temporarily.
Master Jueming replied respectfully, saying that nothing strange happened in the temple that day. After speaking, he said goodbye and left. As he was going out, the master suddenly remembered that that day, the Crown Prince came to visit and asked about the fortune of the world. At that time, the technique of looking at water should be used to calculate the qi movement. Suddenly, he had a sudden impulse and was restless, so he cut off the ninety-nine and eighty-one Bodhi beads.
"However, this kind of thing is purely personal and has nothing to do with the weirdness that the smelly monk asked about. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
