When everything was ready, Wang Shilu began to order people to distribute the test papers.
"Everyone, please listen, the content of today's assessment is very simple."
"Please write five poems on the theme of the power of the Liang Dynasty."
"This is today's assessment question!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally silent and solemn hall exploded instantly!
"Is it only about poetry? How can it be so simple?"
"Isn't it said that both policy theory and poetry are tested?"
"And shouldn't it be about strategy and theory, supplemented by poetry?"
"How come everything has been changed..."
Lin Zhihuan was also quite confused. It was clear that the year he was admitted to Wenyuan Pavilion, policy theory and poetry had to be assessed!
Poetry has always been Lin Zhihuan's weakness, but his strategies are unrivaled.
It was precisely because of his extraordinary performance in the first subject of policy theory that Lin Zhihuan overtook the car in a corner, successfully defeated his opponent, and became one of the bachelors.
But this year's policy suddenly changed, and even the most important policy theory was not tested?
Isn't this a joke?
"Silence, silence!"
Wang Shilu stood up, frowned and said in a deep voice to everyone.
"The theme of this poetry assessment is the national power of Daliang."
"The intention is to combine policy theory and poetry into one!"
"So in this year's exam, there is no need to test policy theory."
"If any of you are dissatisfied, you can leave on the spot!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's discussion suddenly stopped.
If you don’t want to take the policy theory test, just skip it. It’s not a big deal!
If you delay the opportunity that you have finally won because of this, then you are ignorant of current affairs and the gain outweighs the loss.
After hearing this, both Zhou Nan and Zhao Xuanling showed unusually proud smiles on their faces.
Half a month ago, they had already learned the content of the assessment in advance.
Therefore, they had already become familiar with these five poems prepared in advance.
All you have to do is wait until the exam starts, write down the content on rice paper, and you will be considered to have passed the first round of the test.
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Wang Shilu raised his right hand and planned to announce the start of the exam.
But before he could say anything, he heard a deep voice coming from among the candidates.
“The strategy for every assessment is the top priority, and I don’t think it should be canceled so easily!”
"Besides, even if it is canceled, it should be explained to the candidates in advance!"
"Instead of catching all candidates off guard at short notice!"
Everyone turned their heads in unison, eagerly looking for the owner of the voice.
I don’t know who is so stubborn that he openly challenged Academician Wang. Are you planning to give up the qualifications for the exam?
Lin Zhihuan was seen looking seriously, looking directly at Wang Shilu, without flinching at all.
Even though he looked calm on the outside, in fact, he was already in a state of turmoil inside!
It’s over, it’s over…
It's all over!
My own exam qualifications, my own great career, my own carefree rest of my life...
I'm afraid everything will be in vain!
To be fair, Lin Zhihuan originally planned to remain silent and muddle through like other people who followed the crowd.
The preliminary examinations are all conducted by the Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Naturally, they have the final say on the content of the examination.
I am just a low-ranking bachelor. While my colleagues in the past were superior and acted as examiners, I could only sit with the other candidates and participate in the assessment.
There is even a high probability that these newcomers will overthrow their position!
At this moment, what Lin Zhihuan should consider most is how to keep his position as a bachelor.
But for some reason, at such a critical moment, two lines from Prince Rong's poetry collection echoed back and forth in Lin Zhihuan's mind -
Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must keep your innocence in this world!
What Wang Shilu did was obviously wrong. Even if the topic was to be changed, it should be given at short notice.
I can't choose to ignore justice just to keep my chance!
Because of these two lines of Prince Rong's poem, Lin Zhihuan acted impulsively and did what he just did.
Even if I want to regret it now, there is no way out.
Looking at Lin Zhihuan with firm eyes, Wang Shilu suddenly became furious.
This Lin Zhihuan was usually very arrogant in Wenyuan Pavilion. Compared with other colleagues, he seemed out of place.
Wang Shilu had been dissatisfied with the unsociable Lin Zhihuan for a long time, and had long wanted to find an opportunity to get involved with him in front of Emperor Liang.
It's good now that this guy came to the door on his own initiative, giving me a chance to work together to drive him away!
Faced with such a good opportunity, of course Wang Shilu would not refuse!
"How can I allow you to make irresponsible remarks and yell in this important examination room?"
"Examinee Lin Zhihuan violated discipline and the circumstances were serious!"
"Now that your assessment opportunity is confiscated, you can leave on your own!"
As soon as these words came out, all the candidates looked at him with special sympathy.
That look seemed to say, buddy, I respect you as a hero!
What you said is absolutely true, but it's a pity that this situation is not a good time for you to tell the truth!
Lin Zhihuan had already expected such an outcome. When Wang Shilu said the words to let him leave, he felt calm in his heart.
Faced with such an ending, he has no regrets at all!
If he had just chosen silence, it would have made his conscience condemned!
Now that he had said what he needed to say, he felt much more comfortable.
"Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains, and the fire burned them as if they were idle."
"Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces. You must keep your innocence in this world!"
After leaving this poem, Lin Zhihuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
Your Highness Prince Rong, I am sorry for not being able to fulfill your high expectations.
However, I left your poems in the examination room, and I also left your spirit and righteousness in the examination room!
This poem should be the only clear stream in this smoky examination room.
If you, the prince, knew my choice, you would definitely smile and pat me on the shoulder, praising me for doing a good job.
Isn't it?
Under the extremely complicated eyes of everyone, Lin Zhihuan walked to the front door.
However, before he could reach out to open the door, he heard rapid knocks on the door from outside.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
Wang Shilu had just been contradicted by Lin Zhihuan and was already a little impatient.
Wang Shilu became even more furious when he heard someone knocking on the door again without knowing the current affairs.
"Who's knocking outside?"
"I wonder if today is the day of the Wenyuan Pavilion exam?"
"Get that man out!"
In addition to the Eight Great Scholars, Wenyuan Pavilion also has a group of non-staff personnel called "Book Editors", who are actually just odd jobs.
Seeing Wang Shilu's anger, the two editors took a deep breath and quickly opened the door to drive away the person who knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, when they looked at the door and saw the face of the person outside, the two editors were instantly stunned.
After Wang Shilu saw who the person outside was, he was also extremely shocked!
