Chapter 293: The exam is over! Young master Shen is really a God

Translator: 549690339

In just two hours, lunatic LAN had finished writing the entire ” on enfeoffment and organizational system ” policy paper.

Not a single word was easy.

Then, he turned the paper over again, back facing up, and fell asleep on the table.

This time, because she had spent a lot of energy and thoughts, she fell asleep very quickly and even began to snore.

The surrounding examinees were disturbed by the snoring and couldn’t help but look up.

This useless orchid was still sleeping?

Crazy, he was completely crazy!

The first day of the exam wasn’t very important, so it didn’t matter if you slept.

However, the second day’s policy paper was of the utmost importance, and you were sleeping on your stomach.

Ning Zheng, Shen lang, and even the king would become the laughingstock of the world.

Especially the monarch.

It was because he trusted Shen lang that he gave madman LAN the status of a eunuch supervisor, allowing him to participate in the Enke examination.

Yesterday, when the civil and military examinees went to besiege the Board of Rites and Bureau of Military Affairs, the monarch issued a decree to suppress all the examinees for your sake.

How much anger had this aroused?

In the end, you’ve been sleeping through every match?

This was like slapping the monarch’s face.

Just you wait. Once the Enke exam is over, lunatic LAN will definitely be executed by a thousand cuts. Even Shen lang will be implicated.

You’re finished, completely finished!

An examiner came over to patrol again and saw madman LAN sleeping on his stomach.

He could not help but frown.

Shen lang and Ning Zheng were finished.

Hearing his loud snores, the examiner went up and knocked on the table.

Immediately, madman LAN changed his sleeping position and stopped snoring.

The examiner laughed coldly in his heart and then left.

“Sleep, continue sleeping. You don’t have many days to sleep. Your head will be on the ground soon, and Shen lang will probably be thrown into jail.

The king’s furious reaction after being slapped in the face could be imagined with his toes.

Madman LAN once again slept until noon.

After he woke up, he had lunch and began to read Journey to the West in his mind.

Even though he preferred “Battle Through The Heavens,” he had no choice. He had already finished reading the first book yesterday.

It was night time again.

Countless candles were lit in the examination hall.

Although there was only one question for today’s policy paper, it would take a long time to edit and consider each word.

Because it was too important, almost every candidate had to revise it over and over again to ensure that it was perfect in their hearts.

In lunatic Lan’s examination booth, there were still no candles lit.

He had already wrapped himself in a blanket and laid on the ground to sleep.

All these years, he had been sleeping on the ground almost every day. He only had a bed to sleep in after he joined Ning Zheng. Now that he had suddenly returned to sleep on the ground, it felt so intimate.

However, she had slept too much during the day and couldn’t fall asleep at night.

Then read some more books?

Thus, he began to read ” endless wind and moon ” in his mind. As he read, his interest was piqued.

What should he do?

They were in the examination hall. Although there was a water bucket, it was not convenient to clean it.

Otherwise, he could just endure it.

After all, it wasn’t very good to be self-desecrating in the examination hall.

..................

Lunatic LAN must have broken the test field record by lighting up some unspeakable achievement.

The third day of the exam officially began.

Today’s test was on poetry, which was also very important. After all, poetry took up 30% of the entire score ratio.

To be more precise, it was poetry.

In other words, not only did he have to write a poem, but he also had to write an ode.

What was Fu?

According to the “Wenxin sculpted Dragon,” Fu was to lay out the talent in a gaowen, and to write the record with the body.

According to the ‘Book of Han’, one should recite Wei Zhi Fu without singing. Fu was a style that was different from poetry and literature. It was in between the two.

“Shi” had six meanings. The first was wind, the second was Fu, the third was competition, the fourth was prosperity, the fifth was elegance, and the sixth was ode. Feng, ya, and song were three types of poetry, while Fu, bi, and Xing were three types of writing techniques.

According to Shen lang, the poem was relatively short and the fu was relatively long. Furthermore, it was not very neat. However, one might not be able to control themselves and sing the fu as they read it.

After the gong sounded, the exam papers were distributed.

Today’s examination only had six hours, which was half a day.

The topic of the poem was even more bold and imaginative.

This time, the person who came up with the questions was still the king, ning yuanxian. He would never give up any opportunity to show off his talent.

Lunatic LAN opened it.

The questions were very short!

The autumn day had arrived, and Wild Geese flew South. When they looked up into the distance, they were geese in their eyes, but they were like ROCs in their hearts.

With the Wild Goose and the ROC as the topic, each compose a poem, a composition, without any specific details.

In other words, if you use a wild goose to compose a poem, then you have to use a great ROC to compose a poem. On the contrary, if you used a great ROC to compose a poem, then you would need a wild goose to compose a poem.

In fact, when the Emperor asked this question, his mood was very complicated.

He had asked Li Sun before, and the king was like the sun, shining brightly, but he could not get close. Was ning yuanxian the sun? if he was, why was someone so close to him? if not, it meant that he was not a great king.

of course, this was a question of death, and it almost made the great eunuch li sun cry.

Ning yuanxian had always been conflicted.

On one hand, he wanted to be a wise monarch for thousands of generations. His idol was monarch Jiang Li, who could swallow the world and sweep across thousands of miles.

However, he knew his own personality. He was sensitive, narrow-minded, sentimental, and a little romantic.

He probably knew in the depths of his heart that he would never be able to become a monarch for all eternity.

It was one thing to look forward to it, but it was another thing to do it.

The Wild Geese were real, while the giant ROCs were indeed fantasized about, and were the products of ancient legends.

In that case, was the so-called wise sovereign of the ages also an illusion? It doesn’t exist in reality?

The so-called giant Roc only existed in people’s dreams and hearts.

Only The Wild Geese were the real reality.

The king, ning yuanxian, knew that he was just a wild goose, not a ROC, so he said that there should not be a ROC in this world.

To put it more directly, all the emperors in the world were Wild Geese, so don’t try to act tough.

We’re on the same boat, so no one should pretend to be the Emperor of the ages.

Wild Geese were ordinary birds. They could be injured, they could cry sorrowfully, they could be happy, angry, or sad.

The great ROC was a divine bird. It was perfect and incomparably powerful. It wouldn’t be injured and didn’t have any worries.

All the Monarchs in the real world were mortals and had flaws. Only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the ancient legends were as perfect as gods.

From this question, ning yuanxian’s personality was vividly revealed.

He was narcissistic and pessimistic at the same time. It was romantic and narrow-minded at the same time. It was mean and full of sexiness at the same time.

Madman LAN took a look at the question and couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

Young master Shen is truly a God!

He was able to bet on these two questions of poetry?

Was Shen lang too godly?

That was true, and also not.

This time, Shen lang did not deliberately focus on the topic. However, he had a deep understanding of the king, ning yuanxian. Therefore, he chose policy papers and poetry to put lunatic LAN in his shoes.

However, looking at it from another perspective, Shen lang had given over a thousand policy papers and a few thousand poems. The probability of hitting the mark was really high.

Lunatic LAN was not Jin mucong.

Jin mucong relied on his writing brush. After all, he was not a genius and his memorizing efficiency was too low.

Especially policy papers, it was already impressive to recite dozens of them.

And lunatic LAN had recited more than a thousand chapters, a few thousand songs.

Almost all of China’s classics that had been around for thousands of years had been captured in one fell swoop.

In this case, as a civilization with a similar written language, it would not be so easy to go beyond this scope.

Especially the title of the poem, it was not like the eight-legged essay of later generations, which firmly grasped a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics, leaving not much room for people to play.

As long as you’re willing, you can take it no matter what.

Very quickly, lunatic Lan’s writing was like a god.

First, he used autumn goose as a poem.

‘Those who abandon me can’t stay yesterday;

Those who mess up my heart will be more worried today.

The long wind sent the autumn goose away for ten thousand miles, and he could enjoy the tall building.

Penglai had a Golden City and a small banquet in the middle.

They were all in high spirits and wanted to fly up to the blue sky and look at the bright moon.

Drawing a knife to cut off water, the water flows more, raising a cup to dispel sorrow, only to become more sorrowful.

Life was meaningless in this world, and during the Ming Dynasty, I was born with a small boat.

Was this poem awesome?

He wouldn’t tell you the name of the poem, nor would he tell you who the author was, but you couldn’t help but feel your hair stand on end and your scalp go numb.

With just a glance, one could tell that this was an immortal masterpiece.

This was the charm of a thousand-year-old classic. It didn’t need to be hyped up or packaged.

With just a glance, it could directly strike the depths of your soul.

This poem was written by Li Bai.

Of course, there were two sentences that needed to be modified a little, because there was no Jian an city in this world, and there was no Xie Xie.

The small banquet here referred to the arrival of the world’s top literary Masters.

He had written countless famous poems in his life.

Of course, his representative work would always be the legend of Dongli, which wrote the story of Sovereign Lord Jiang Li.

Of course, in terms of literary and artistic achievements, ” legend of East parting ” was not as good as his other works, but it was indeed the most popular one in history.

Countless people in the eastern world, and even the Western world, had read this book.

The sales volume of this book was definitely the first in this world in a thousand years.

This person originally lived in the capital of the DA Qian Kingdom, Jin capital. He used to be an official of the DA Qian Kingdom and had made many suggestions to Jiang Li, but they were all rejected.

In a fit of anger, this great scholar left the DA Qian Kingdom and roamed the world, writing books for a living and becoming a great writer in the eastern world.

After the sudden death of Jiang Li, the Empire of Great Yan recruited Yan Lin to be an official and asked him to write a book that belittled Jiang Li.

Yan Lin refused and set fire to the mountain to burn himself.

He had never been put in an important position by Jiang Li in his life. He even fell out with Jiang Li out of anger, but in the end, he was buried with Jiang Li.

This also gave him his undying reputation.

When lunatic LAN recited this poem, he was so shocked that tears were streaming down his face, and his soul was almost out of his body.

Because he knew something about Wufu.

This great scholar Yan Lin seemed to be a teacher when he was young. To be precise, he was the teacher of more than thirty children.

This was just a feeling, madman LAN couldn’t be sure.

Li Bai’s poem might not be as well-known as the other representative works, but the standard was not bad.

It was especially lethal to the king, ning yuanxian.

The person ning yuanxian admired the most in his life was Jiang Li.

To a certain extent, Jiang Li’s destruction had also broken ning yuanxian’s wings, making him clearly see that there were no ROCs in this world, only Wild Geese.

The melancholy in this poem could directly strike the depths of ning yuanxian’s soul.

Not only to ning yuanxian, but to all scholars, this poem was a killer.

All the competitors felt their own inferiority, and all the examiners felt their souls go numb.

It was too awesome.

A classic poem that had not been spoken for a hundred years.

..................

Using Wild Geese as poems, the next one was to use the great ROC as a poem.

If the Wild Goose was pessimistic, it was helpless and sad.

The great ROC would have to break away from this sadness and low level sentimentality.

He still had to be sad.

However, it had to be philosophical and majestic.

Hence, great God Jia Yi’s [ Fu of the Peng ] was the most suitable.

In terms of pure artistic achievements, Jia Yi’s “ode to the ROC” and Li Bai’s “Xuanzhou Xie Xie Lou’s farewell Shu Yun” were absolutely on par.

He looked at the words and sentences inside.

All things change without rest. They moved and returned.

Misfortune might be a blessing, and fortune might be a calamity. Sorrow and joy gather at the door, good and bad luck in the same region.

The heaven and earth are the furnace, and fate is the work; Yin and yang were charcoal, and everything was copper.

Aren’t you awesome?

It didn’t matter if he could understand it or not, whether he knew who the author was or what the background of the work was.

Just by looking at these words, one would be shocked.

This was the power of words, the power of classics.

An essay that could be passed down for generations after thousands of years was really awesome.

When madman LAN recited these poems, he was not only creeped out, he was so shocked that he almost peed in his pants.

In his excitement, he actually wanted to shit.

It could be seen how high the standard was.

What was even more terrifying was that lunatic LAN actually thought that Shen lang wrote those articles himself.

He had gone through all his memories, but he had no impression of these articles.

Then, he was so shocked that he wanted to lift his head.

He had thought that he was a genius, but in front of Shen lang, he was like the stars and the moon.

He could not imagine that there were people like Shen lang in this world.

This was more than just overflowing talent.

An ordinary person’s talent would at most be comparable to a peeing empties.

On the other hand, Shen Lang’s talent was like a downpour, a stormy sea, and endless.

In a short fifteen minutes.

A majestic and bone-deep ‘ode to the Peng’ appeared on the paper.

Even though he had made some minor changes to match the history of this world, it had no effect on the quality of the entire essay.

Madman LAN repeated this in his heart over and over again.

His entire heart was shocked once again, and his soul was hit hard once again. He felt numb and his stomach twisted.

This essay was too awesome.

Madman LAN flipped the test paper over and held it down. He held his stomach and ran towards the bathroom.

At this time, less than 30 minutes had passed since the start of the third day of the exam.

............

After lunatic LAN came back, he laid on the table and slept again.

The examiner once again passed by him, but he didn’t even spare him a glance.

Because it was meaningless, this piece of trash had been sleeping for three days. There was no need to pay attention to it.

He could be completely treated as a dead man.

The surrounding examinees also stopped looking at lunatic LAN.

As today’s exam only had six hours, it was extremely difficult to write a poem or a composition.

Time was of the essence.

Everyone was racking their brains, so how could they have the time to pay attention to a person who was going to die?

It had been more than four hours.

It was already afternoon!

More than a dozen soldiers were shuttling back and forth in the examination hall, beating the gongs and shouting, ” the exam is over. Everyone stop writing. Everyone stop writing.

All the candidates put down their pens.

Because if he didn’t stop writing at this time, he would dismiss the paper.

“Muddle the name!”

Following the examiner’s order.

Over a hundred soldiers stepped forward and pasted their names on each test paper.

This way, when the examiner was marking the paper, he would not know whose paper it was. Furthermore, he was not allowed to make any marks on the paper, otherwise he would be immediately dismissed.

Of course, the ancient China imperial examinations were even stricter towards the end. All the papers had to be copied to prevent the handwriting from being recognized.

Yue country’s imperial examination had not reached this stage yet.

“Seal the scroll!”

After the names were pasted, the soldiers put each test paper into a large paper seal and sealed it with wax.

“Collecting!”

In the end, all three thousand exam papers were collected and immediately sent for marking.

There were only six or seven examiners who participated in marking the papers, but they had to mark three thousand papers in a short few days. This workload was very heavy.

In the next three days and three nights.

These examiners were not allowed to take a single step out of the door. They were only allowed to eat, drink, pee, and poop inside. They were not allowed to leave until the examination paper was finished.

“All examinees, leave the examination hall!”

With an order.

Three thousand things that were neither human nor ghost left the examination hall.

Every single one of them was extremely smelly.

Although it was already September and the weather was not hot, it was definitely not cold either. The examination room was stuffy and cramped. After three days and two nights, everyone’s body was rotten.

Lunatic LAN was the best.

Because he had been sleeping and resting most of the time, he did not sweat profusely.

All the candidates were exhausted.

After seeing lunatic LAN, he was a little slow for a few seconds, and then he avoided him like a snake or Scorpion, like a plague.

“You don’t deserve to be the residue of a human orchid!”

“Live-in son-in-law Shen, the scourge of the human world!”

these two are done for. Once the ranking is out, they’re done for.

this lunatic LAN took the exam for three days and slept for three whole days. He almost didn’t have an answer sheet.

“This is a slap to the monarch’s face.”

just wait, just wait. This lunatic LAN will definitely be hacked into pieces. Shen lang will definitely be locked up in the Supreme Court’s prison.

“This clown is finally finished.”

“It’s good that there’s no more leftover son-in-law in the world.”

..................

Half an hour later!

Madman LAN returned to the ning government’s residence in high spirits.

He was very excited.

This was because the exam had gone too smoothly. It was ten times better than what he had imagined.

But,

There was no one to welcome him.

The sword King Li qianqiu was ambushing foolish. He was ambushing her 30 to 40 times in a minute.

Dumb’s screams were endless.

Shen lang was doing an experiment in the underground secret room.

Ning Zheng came out to greet him.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lan.”

Then, Ning Zheng said to Wu lie, who was beside him, ” General Wu lie, please invite Shen lang over.

After a while, Shen lang appeared in front of lunatic LAN.

“The exam is over?” Shen lang had been doing experiments for the past few days and had almost lost track of time.

Madman LAN nodded.

“How did you do?” Shen lang asked.

Lunatic LAN was very excited, but he forced himself to look calm.

“If there are no accidents, first place is for sure.”

Ning Zheng was shocked to hear this.

Wu lie, slave Xian, and the others all looked at madman LAN.

Is that true?

The first place is already set in stone?

He was just bragging.

Previously, His Highness Ning Zheng and Lord Zhang Ji had said clearly that lunatic LAN would definitely pass the exam this time, but the top three would depend on luck. It was impossible for him to get first place.

“What question?” Shen lang asked.

Madman LAN said, ” the thesis topic is ‘on the division of enfeoffment and establishment’. The poem topics are’ autumn goose ‘and’ great ROC’.

Shen lang was stunned.

No way, am I just too lucky? Or am I too awesome?

It wasn’t strange to guess the poem question correctly, because it was related to everything.

However, it was a huge fortune for CE Wenyan to win.

Of course, it was not luck.

This was because ning yuanxian had wanted to come up with this question for a long time, but he did not have the confidence before. Now that su Nan had been destroyed and Yue country had won, he suddenly felt like he was floating and could not wait.

“Your Highness, he’s really going to be first.” Shen lang looked at Ning Zheng.

“Zhu Hongping is the son of the Zhu family, and the most talented man in the capital. She’s very outstanding,” Ning Zheng said.

Shen lang had read Zhu Hongping’s article recently.

It was indeed impressive. His policy papers and poetry were all top-notch.

To be honest, his talent in poetry and strategy was not something that Shen lang, who had not gone through systematic learning, could match.

However, no matter how good you are, can you be better than Liu Zongyuan, Li Bai, or Jia Yi?

Jia Yi God, how f * cking awesome was he?

The Jia shengcai in Li Shangyin’s poem was even more ridiculous, and it was referring to Jia Yi. The Han Dynasty hongwen that Lu Xun spoke of was also Jia Yi.

This person’s political papers could even be ranked in the top three in China history.

“On passing Qin” and “the original poem of hanging qu” were both his works.

Now that the works of three great gods had appeared together, it was enough to beat the audience.

Not to mention Zhu Hongping, even if the 3000 examinees were to join forces, they would only be completely crushed.

If it was placed in another examination hall, he was worried that it would be suppressed and there would be fraud.

However, it was precisely because of Zhu Hongping’s presence that the examination was absolutely fair and there was no cheating.

Zhu Hongping was the grandson of Zhu Hong, the pillar of Yue State. There must be no stain on his life record.

He could not cheat in the imperial examination.

Furthermore, the person behind Shen lang was the monarch.

Fraud? It did not exist.

Because the final result had to be passed through the king, ning yuanxian.

Now, everyone was waiting for lunatic Lan’s results to be a complete flop. That way, they would be able to slap the monarch’s face.

To be honest, the monarch did not dare to have any hope now. However, deep down, he was even more eager than Shen lang for crazy Chelan to be on the list. That way, he, ning yuanxian, would be able to hold his head high.

Therefore, His Majesty must have had a mental breakdown.

Why am I tied to Shen lang again? And he was even tied up with lunatic LAN.

Shen lang emphasized once again,”Your Highness, Enke Wensi, we’ll definitely get first place!” Lunatic LAN, you should go and rest now. I’ll continue with my experiments.”

Then, Shen lang sniffed and said, ” “Lunatic LAN, you didn’t do that in the exam hall, did you?”

As soon as he said this.

All the women around him backed away.

Especially slave Xian, who looked at lunatic LAN with a look of disgust.

The fifth Prince, Ning Zheng, acted as if he did not hear anything.

Shen lang, Mister LAN, I’ll take my leave first.

Then, he left in a hurry, because he really didn’t have the courage to stay and listen to the rest of the conversation.

However, slave Xian and Wu lie did not retreat. They had seen and heard everything.

What kind of scum had he not seen?

After lunatic LAN was exposed by Shen lang, he was not embarrassed or angry. Instead, he said awkwardly, ” “I’m sorry, young master Shen’s” endless wind and moon “is so well-written that I can’t help but think of lady salve. I can’t help but feel embarrassed!”

Slave Xian blushed and said in a cold voice, ” “Lunatic LAN, if you dare to mention me again, I’ll kill you with one slap!”

“I can’t help but think of my dream lover, so I can’t control my feelings,” madman LAN changed his words.

Shen lang was amazed. you’re awesome. You’re definitely the first person in history. I hope your test paper doesn’t have any special smell.

Then, Shen lang said to slave Xian, ” once the ranking list is announced, lunatic LAN will be the No. 1 in the capital. Slave Xian, you have to hurry.

Slave Xian could not stay any longer. He turned around and ran away.

Instantly, the ground trembled.

After slave Xian left.

Madman LAN bowed to Shen lang and said, ” young master Shen is truly a God. When I was reciting these policy papers and poems, I only memorized them by rote. The way he wrote on the paper today was truly breathtaking. Especially Shen gongzi’s thinking of His Majesty’s thoughts, it is unbelievable.”

“Young master Shen is truly a God! I’m far from it!”

Shen lang wanted to Pat lunatic Lan’s shoulder, but he gave up after a slight hesitation.

I’m just standing on the shoulders of a giant.

but lunatic LAN, you’re already very amazing, but don’t compare yourself to someone like me. My talent is better than yours.

“When I stand on the peak, I will look down on all the other mountains!”

Lunatic LAN was even more amazed.

Young master Shen was not only talented, but he was also very direct and not hypocritical at all.

Just these two lines of the poem were wonderful, wonderful!

......

At the same time, the marking of Enke’s written exam was in full swing.

............
