In the ceremonial room of the government office.
Magistrate Lu is still accompanying him.
He didn't know what was going on.
A while ago, the King of Huainan sent someone to greet him and said that he wanted a young man who failed to pass the imperial examination.
At that time, the list of candidates for the prefectural examination had been posted, and Magistrate Lu was helpless.
But he always wanted to give King Huainan face.
He is just a child, just let him live.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Not to mention a child, even a scholar has the qualifications to be exempted from the examination.
Therefore, Magistrate Lu asked someone to add the name, and sent someone directly to the young man's hometown to deliver the good news.
I originally thought that this young man might be someone from the King of Huainan.
As a result, he found someone to check again and again, and found that this young man had nothing to do with the King of Huainan.
The King of Huainan didn't give any explanation.
Today, when I saw Zhao Chengshu, who was not seen by anyone else bringing generous gifts, came over and asked to see the test papers of the government examination, Magistrate Lu immediately thought of this matter.
Could it be that you heard something?
Zhao Chengshu has always been fair and impartial. From this look, wouldn't it be easy to see that there is something wrong with the results of this government examination?
Magistrate Lu was a little anxious.
It is not easy to offend the King of Huainan.
But Zhao Chengshu, he couldn't offend.
If he were to find out about his cheating for personal gain and report it to the court, it would be a serious crime for him to have his house confiscated and beheaded!
I heard that the relationship between King Huainan and Zhao Shangshu is pretty good.
If he is discovered later, it shouldn't be a big deal if he explains the reason.
Magistrate Lu had so many thoughts on his mind that he couldn't stop analyzing the current situation for a moment.
The other officials in the ceremonial room were even less able to say anything.
The room was quiet, except for the rustle of Zhao Chengshu flipping through papers.
After a while, Zhao Chengshu turned to Su Yu's paper.
He gave it a rough sweep and immediately frowned slightly.
"The handwriting is average..."
"But these are not problems, just work hard next time and practice more."
He smacked his lips and looked down.
After reading the beginning, I went back and read the questions again.
Looking again, his brows wrinkled more and more tightly.
After reading it all, Zhao Chengshu was a little stunned.
"Such a nonsense article with obscure language, was it really written by that kid?"
Zhao Chengshu felt that he was not well.
Was this article really written by Su Yu?
The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles?
As for your article, even if the wind blows the examiner's eyes out, you won't be able to get up!
Zhao Chengshu didn't believe it and read it again.
That kid didn't look like anything special, but he was something special on the inside.
Maybe this article contains too much meaning and needs people to read it carefully?
The second time I watched it, I didn’t even finish it.
Zhao Chengshu was silent.
It seems that this kid is really not unjust for failing the exam so many times...
Why can he write an article like this when he speaks and behaves so well?
In fact, to be fair, this article is not really nonsense and has no merit.
But Zhao Chengshu was once the number one scholar, a person who stood at the top of the imperial examination.
That's why Su Yufu's article was so unbearable in his eyes.
Zhao Chengshu silently put the paper in his hand on the table next to him.
"Mr. Zhao..."
Seeing this, Magistrate Lu hurried forward.
one look.
What Zhao Chengshu was reading over and over just now was the one that was originally deposed and later completed under the instruction of the King of Huainan.
Magistrate Lu's heart skipped a beat.
He tentatively asked: "These articles... what do you think?"
He also wanted to say that the quality of the candidates who took the government examination this year was indeed average, but he had tried his best to select suitable ones.
As a result, Zhao Chengshu had a dark face, but he held back a sentence.
"good……"
"Those selected by Magistrate Lu must be young talents."
Magistrate Lu's rebuttal words were still on his lips before he had time to say them.
Hearing Zhao Chengshu's praise, his expression froze for a moment.
"Ah...ah?"
The master beside him coughed lightly.
Magistrate Lu woke up from a dream.
He lowered his head to read the article, and then looked at Zhao Chengshu, whose face was still not good.
Did he hear it correctly?
After Zhao Chengshu said what he said against his will, his face turned a little red.
This stinky boy, the article was written in such a horrible way.
Fortunately, he had just returned the lard to fool him and wanted to accept him as his disciple.
At his level, let’s spend the next life!
Zhao Chengshu didn't want to see this article anymore, so he stood up and said, "Prefect Lu was in trouble today."
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."
When Magistrate Lu heard that he was leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will send Mr. Zhao off."
He personally sent Zhao Chengshu away.
When he and his master were left alone, Magistrate Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
"I thought Mr. Zhao came here to look at the papers today because he heard some rumors."
"This official is extremely nervous."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The master quickly comforted me and said, "My lord has always been diligent and never made mistakes. There is no need to be nervous."
Magistrate Lu returned to the house and took a sip of the hot tea that the servant had just served.
"Who knew he would suddenly come to my door today and want to read the papers?"
He was still frightened: "Everyone says that Mr. Zhao will return to the court sooner or later."
"Why hasn't His Majesty issued an order for him to return?"
Forget about a Huainan King.
As a result, there is a giant Buddha like Zhao Chengshu, walking around all day long.
Who can bear it.
No one knows when I might offend him.
It's better to go back to the capital quickly. At least the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so you can't control him here.
The master also sneered, not being able to answer such words.
These people have been living well in the provincial capital.
As a result, I came to Jiangling Mansion for no reason this year.
Magistrate Lu thought for a while and took the answer sheet that Zhao Chengshu had just read.
"Fortunately, I didn't have any other thoughts during this review."
"There is only one person who will be added later..."
He looked at the answer sheet and saw the candidates' names on it.
"Su Yu..."
"This article is indeed not very good, but it makes sense to force him to pass."
"There should be no problem."
The master also added to him: "Mr. Zhao didn't notice it just now, so there will be no problem."
"Don't worry, sir."
"If someone really investigates this matter in the future, today's incident can be used as a shield."
People like Zhao Chengshu have already acknowledged the answer, who can say that it is not good?
If you can’t say it well, it’s a matter of your own level!
Magistrate Lu's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes!"
"The answer sheets of the candidates admitted to our office this time have all been reviewed by Mr. Zhao."
"He was once the number one scholar appointed by the Holy Spirit, so his vision must be good!"
Magistrate Lu was happy, and the nervousness just now disappeared.
Looking at Su Yu's name, he said again:
"By the way, I always feel that this is not easy."
"Master, go check where he is now and try not to offend him."
Master quickly responded.
