Under the escort of soldiers, Song Mu finally arrived at the guild hall smoothly.
Although many people crowded around outside the Gongyuan, Song Mu was escorted by soldiers, and many people were intimidated. However, many students were very enthusiastic about Song Mu, and they kept following him along the way, asking questions about Song Mu. What exactly did Mu write in it?
Song Mu was already very tired, so this time he just handed it over and asked you to wait and see when the rankings are released.
After returning to the guild hall, shopkeeper Zhu enthusiastically served ginger tea to warm up Song Mu. Song Mu held hands with everyone who came up in the guild hall, and then walked upstairs impatiently.
After opening the door, Song Mu heard Tao Fengming cough several times. His heart tightened and he quickly took a few steps forward.
"Master!"
Song Mu took a few steps forward and saw Tao Fengming sitting on the bed wearing a large cloak, with a freshly brewed soup in his hand. He raised his head and saw Song Mu. He quickly stood up and took two steps forward.
"Jing Zhao, you are back."
Saying this, Tao Fengming immediately looked at Song Mu. The next moment, he was suddenly startled. Then he looked at Song Mu in surprise and said.
"Jing Zhao, why do I see you now not at the same level as a Jinshi, but at the level of a Jinshi?!"
Song Mu looked at Tao Fengming carefully at this moment, and he was relieved when he saw that Tao Fengming's face was still rosy.
At that moment, Song Mu carefully explained to Tao Fengming what happened in the examination room. Tao Fengming was also surprised when he heard what happened.
Especially when he saw the gemstone Wenxing that Song Mu took out, Tao Fengming stood up immediately, astonished.
"This kind of Wenxing orbiting the Lord is something that no one has accomplished in many years. Jing Zhao, you really surprised me even more."
As Tao Fengming said this, he coughed violently twice. Song Mu quickly stepped forward and asked a few questions in concern.
"Master, how do you feel now? Is it getting better?"
"Did the red light vision yesterday have any different changes on your body?"
Tao Fengming drank the decoction and slowly shook his head at Song Mu.
"I'm fine. I also felt your vision yesterday, and it seemed to be of use to me, but..."
Song Mu was startled and asked quickly.
"Just what's wrong?"
Tao Fengming shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"It's nothing, it's just that this awe-inspiring righteousness can only temporarily suppress my illness, but it won't last long."
Saying this, Song Mu looked happy and spoke to Tao Fengming.
"Master, what you mean is that this Haoran's righteousness is really effective, and that's good news."
As Song Mu said this, he stretched out his palm excitedly, and saw a red light immediately appearing on his palm, which was the aura of awe-inspiring power.
Tao Fengming was shocked when he saw this situation. He looked at Song Mu in great surprise and asked in a deep voice.
"What's going on, Jing Zhao, are you able to control the great righteousness in the world now?"
Song Mu nodded solemnly. He only discovered this situation yesterday. Although the "Song of Righteousness" was written on the answer sheet, it was already engraved in his mind. As long as he activated the ancient book, he would Immediately, Haoran's righteous energy gathered around him.
"Master, from now on I will send you Haoran's righteous energy regularly, and I will be able to suppress this strange poison."
Tao Fengming nodded immediately, but his expression was still a bit lonely, and finally said slowly.
"But this is just a temporary restraint. Now my body has been riddled with holes from this toxin. There will always be a day when the oil will run out."
"At that time, even the righteousness of Haoran will be of no avail."
After hearing this, Song Mu was immediately shaken and showed unwillingness on his face, but Tao Fengming waved his hand in relief, patted Song Mu on the shoulder and said.
"Instead of talking about these, why don't you tell me what articles and poems you have written for this test, let me taste them first."
Song Mu also let out a deep breath, readjusted his emotions at this moment, pulled up a stool, and spoke in detail in front of Tao Fengming.
Tao Fengming listened very carefully, as if he was recalling his past demeanor in the examination room through Song Mu's descriptions. Hearing what Song Mu said about Confucianism, water transport strategies, and the song "Song of Righteousness", Tao Fengming suddenly He put down the heater in his hand and spoke to Song Mu with a smile on his face.
"Jing Zhao, it seems that the Huiyuan who can take the test is you."
Song Mu was stunned and looked embarrassed, while Tao Fengming explained firmly.
"The articles you wrote are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Moreover, these articles of yours have triggered visions and become logical."
Song Mu hesitated to speak. Seeing Tao Fengming's happy expression and the scene he mentioned during the examination, Song Mu's heart suddenly moved and he said with a smile.
"Master, it's a coincidence that I actually saw the exam room where you took the exam."
Song Mu spoke slowly. Tao Fengming heard that the heroic words he had written on the examination room were now spoken by his apprentice. His face was a little proud, but also a little lonely. He nodded at this moment.
"Yes, I was so ambitious back then."
After hearing this, Song Mu was silent for a moment, looked at Tao Fengming with his lips pursed, and then said in a deep voice.
"Master, I think that now, everything you expect can be given to me."
"I will do it all for you."
Tao Fengming looked up at Song Mu and nodded heavily.
"Jing Zhao, I am very lucky to be my teacher. I can find you in this world. You are worthy of the heavy responsibility."
"It's just that there is a long way to go in the future, but we must never make the same mistakes I made again."
Song Mu nodded, but at this moment, there was a blazing fire burning in his heart. When the dust of the imperial examination settled down in the future, it would be the beginning of practicing his ideals.
After a conversation, Tao Fengming didn't talk to Song Mu about anything else that day. He just had a meal with Song Mu, then urged Song Mu to take a hot bath and go to bed early.
That night, Song Mu had a good dream.
But this night, in the Gongyuan, there was a strange scene.
"This... this examination is too outrageous. Why can't I read these scrolls of attainment?"
"The same goes for me. After reading the sentence about establishing a heart for heaven and earth, these articles are almost like straw."
"Also, this strategy is not as good as the paper that everyone said, it is full of loopholes."
In the Gongyuan, many Gongyuan officials have begun to judge the papers, but unlike in the past, Song Mu's papers have now been picked out. Although they are still vaguely known, everyone has already seen these three papers, which range from extremely important to severe. A legendary answer sheet that is extremely important.
But after feeling agitated, I found the other papers in front of me unsightly.
Everyone sighed with emotion. For a moment, they didn't know how to judge the paper and were in great distress. Yan Fu, who was also a little absent-minded next to him, let out a long sigh and turned to look at everyone in the field.
"That's all. Let's rest early today and judge the case tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up and saw the three papers in the corner. He sighed again and spoke to the marking officers.
"Everyone, the three papers will be listed first on the meaning of classics, policy theory, and poetry."
"After a few days, we will hand it over to the Minister of Rites for review and final decision. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded and sighed.
"It's really strange. After all these years of grading, this is the first time I've encountered it. All three volumes have left this entire field of articles and poems so far behind."
