Prime Minister

Chapter 252
Zhang Yue walked back to the house, only him and Huang Lu.

Huang Lu gave Zhang Yue a piece of poetry and prose, Zhang Yue thought about it and settled down to pick up his pen.

After finishing writing, the two gave each other the article to read, and then checked the test box.

After that, there was a drum in Taixue.

The two turned off the lights and went to rest on their respective couches.

The wind outside was blowing very tightly, as if a snowstorm was about to come.

When it was cold at night, the two relied on the charcoal stove beside the couch to barely dispel the chill.

Zhang Yue tightened the sheets, but he didn't feel much sleepiness, and the same was true of the yellow shoes beside him.

Huang Lu recited the "Preface to Sending Dong Shao South to Hebei" in a low voice, and Zhang Yue heard him recite it to the second time, "When a husband and a son do not meet, all those who admire righteousness and benevolence will cherish it."The scholars of Yan and Zhao are beyond their nature! 'The breath was slightly heavy, and he fell asleep after a while.

Zhang Yue couldn't help admiring Huang Lu. His psychological quality can be worshiped as a general.

But Zhang Yue hasn't fallen asleep yet, but he has also passed the exam for a long time, if he can't sleep, he can't sleep, just don't mess up his mind.

At this moment, except for the sound of wind passing by in Taixue, it can be said that everything is silent. Zhang Yue listened to the wind and thought, "Taixue's academic integrity is very sure, and a green robe is indispensable."With a ninth-rank official and a salary, it is not in vain to study hard in Taixue for three years.

Therefore, even if he failed this subject, he was calm enough.What's more, if you have an official body, you can participate in the Bietou test, and even the palace test can also participate in the lock hall test. '

But even so, Zhang Yue's heart became more and more chaotic, and he still couldn't let it go.

Immediately he thought of a saying in the university that 'knowing a stop and then having a certainty'.

Luo Zenan, the leader of the scholar, once said that his method of fighting wars is "knowing the end and then having a certainty".

Stopping is the realm, the goal, but Zhang Yue interprets him as 'stopping', which is the worst result of accomplishing this matter.

If you can accept the worst result of this matter, then go for it, so that you will not worry about gains and losses, and you will have a firm opinion in your heart.

But thinking about it this way, Zhang Yue still didn't fall asleep until after three drums. In the middle of the night, it seemed that the wind was blowing loudly, and then the snow began to fall.

The morning sky was cold, and Zhang Yue, who was so excited that he fell asleep under the blanket, woke up from the haze, but he heard the sound of dense snow outside the window, like broken jade, softly and heavily ringing from far and near.

In this way, the more the chapter is reversed, the better it will be to sleep.

I don't know how long I fell asleep again, and I heard Huang Lu pat him awake and Zhang Yue said: "It's four drums."

Zhang Yuehuang got up to wash up.

During this period, Zhang Yue wanted to set up the window, but then was pressed down by the wind and snow. He turned his head and smiled at Huang Lu: "It's snowing."

Huang Lu stretched out his hand and said with a breath, "Yes, Li Taibai said, ''Yanshan snow is as big as a banquet', I believe it now."

The two smiled at each other.

Not long ago, examinees who were going to the Gongyuan came here to knock on the door. Zhang Yue and Huang Lu went out after putting on the examination box on their backs, but saw a bright light in their eyes. Come.

"This is also strange." Huang Lu sighed.

Immediately, Zhang Yue and Huang Lu rushed from Taixue to Gongyuan under an umbrella and braved the snow.

On the road, I met more and more classmates on the road, and they complained about the heavy snow in their mouths.

In front of the gate of the university, the academic officials got up overnight and lit the lanterns. At this time, it was snowing first, and the academic officials spread straw on the ground to prevent people from slipping.

Zhang Yuehuanglu and dozens of imperial scholars took a rope, one by one pulled the gate of the court courtyard, and there were horse-drawn carriages on the road braving the wind and snow.

But after a while, everyone arrived at the entrance of the Gongyuan, and it was only a quarter of an hour before the dragon gate opened, but less than half of the thousands of candidates had come, obviously it was mostly due to the sudden delay of the wind and snow.

The horses neighed and the donkeys brayed in front of the tribute courtyard, and they were crowded by the candidates.The snow fell suddenly, making everything a bit messy.

Wearing the cold clothes given by Shi Qi Niang, Zhang Yue was not cold at all. He said to Huang Lu, "I'm going to enter the door now. I'll go and check and see how many classmates haven't arrived yet."

Huang Lu said: "The Taixue has probably arrived, but the Guangwen Museum doesn't know."

Zhang Yue said: "Let me ask."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue asked someone he knew well.

At this time, Zhang Yue saw that Wang Kui had also arrived, and the two nodded as a greeting.

At this moment, I saw Wang Kui and several others hiding under the eaves and looking at the snow scene, talking about Yuan An's sleepy snow, Xie Ting's appreciation of the snow, and other good stories.

When Wang Kui talked about Wang Huizhi's visit to Dai Kui on a snowy night, he even laughed out loud with his left and right.

A young scholar beside Han Zhongyan heard Wang Kui's words and asked, "Brother Pu, who is this person?"

The servant was holding an umbrella to blow and pat Han Zhongyan's clothes.

Han Zhongyan glanced at it, curled his lips and said, "Zhongfeng, he is the Wang Junmin I mentioned to you, why?"

The person nodded and said: "No wonder I heard that this person has the talent of the top scholar, and there is no vain under the great name. You can see that the candidates on the left and right are a little bit embarrassed because of avoiding the storm. This person talks like nothing happened. This kind of demeanor is really heartbreaking. .”

Han Zhongyan said with a smile: "However, those who talk so much don't have real talents, and Zhang Duzhi is the only one in the Imperial Academy."

The other party said: "I have heard you mention Zhang Duzhi's name a lot, but I have never seen it."

Han Zhongyan said: "I will introduce you after the exam."

"It's not too late now!" The man smiled.

"The Dragon Gate is about to open." Han Zhongyan pointed forward.

At this time, the gates of the Gongyuan were all open, but dozens of officers and soldiers were seen inside the gate sweeping snow.

A scholar said in surprise: "This is entering the Dragon Gate, but how many people are still on the way."

Another person said: "Yes, don't you wait for the sudden snowstorm?"

At this time, the supervisor has already stepped out and shouted to the candidates: "The candidates from Kaifeng Mansion will enter the Gongyuan first with the number ticket, and the candidates from the Guozijian will follow. If you lose your number, those who expire will not be allowed to enter."

There were more than a dozen people from the bookstore standing beside this person. They would be responsible for checking the examinee's body.

At this moment, the candidates standing in front of the Kaifeng Prefecture took out their numbered tickets.

At this time, someone said: "There are still many candidates in Kaifeng Prefecture who have not arrived due to the delay due to the wind and snow. Please wait for the examiner."

Hearing the words, the prison gate officer scolded: "Nonsense, the examination period is set by the government, so there is no reason to wait!"

Candidates from Kaifeng Mansion were in a commotion on the spot, among which many classmates and friends of the candidates had not arrived, and one of them said: "This sudden snowstorm, how could anyone expect it?"

Zhang Yue came back after turning around, Huang Lu said: "How?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "No one in Taixue is late, but there are more than a dozen students missing in Guangwen Museum, and my senior brother Guo is among them."

Huang Lu was startled and said, "What should I do?"

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Guo is cautious and will never miss the schedule, it must be caused by the wind and snow."

At this time, the prison gate officer shouted: "Don't make any more noise! ​​You said that someone missed the schedule because of the wind and snow, but why don't you see that you were delayed by the wind and snow?"

Wang Kui smiled when he saw this scene, it would not be good if it was missing, because many people were absent from the exam due to the wind and snow, so few people would argue with me.

There are also many candidates present who hold Wang Kui's heart.

At this time, Zhang Yue stepped forward and walked to the prison gate officer to salute: "I'm in the Taixue Yangzheng Zhai Chang Zhang Yue has something to report to the officer!"

PS: Hope all the book lovers in Henan are safe.
