Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

But at this time, the doorman stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Just tell me, this time, it is Enke opened by His Majesty, and Zhi Gongju is the eldest grandson Shangshu, how can there be fraud?"

"Zhang Zhuangyuan, don't think about arguing, you still have something to do next."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials hummed, and took over the conversation and said indifferently: "Next, you candidates for the gold list, it's time to visit Shangsun Shangshu."

In the eyes of people at that time, the title of the gold list was first of all because of the appreciation of the chief examiner.

After the title of the gold list, the most important thing is to arrange the examiner to thank him for his kindness.

"After visiting Shangsun Shangshu, you still have to take the examination of the Ministry of Officials."

The servant of the Ministry of Officials glanced at Zhang Dun and said: "Don't forget, although you have been named on the gold list, you have not yet been appointed as an official. Only by passing the examination of the Ministry of Officials can you enter the court as an official."

Hearing this, Zhang Dun's eyes lit up, grasping another layer of meaning in his words, and asked: "Master, do you mean that if you fail to pass the examination of the official department, you will not be able to enter the court?" For an official?"

The official minister thought for a while, "That's what it means."

"Great!" Zhang Dun clenched his fists excitedly.

"..." The officials of the various ministries looked at him strangely. He couldn't pass the official examination. Why are you so excited?

Zhang Dun didn't bother to explain the reason to them, so he followed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and walked into the office of the Ministry of Officials.

Wait a while in the yard.

After all the candidates for the gold list, including Fang Jun and Du He, had arrived, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials led them to the lobby of the government office.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Officials.

Changsun Wuji sat behind the middle table.

On the two sides sat Lang Zhong Si Xun, Lang Zhong Si Feng, Lang Zhong Kao Gong, a member of the staff, and the principal.

Changsun Wuji looked expressionlessly at the group of examinees who walked in, and when he saw Zhang Dun, he raised his eyebrows.

Among all the candidates for the gold list, except for Zhang Dun, Changsun Chong, Wei Xian, and Du Zhong who all had downcast faces, the other candidates were all beaming.

Changsun Wuji was a little confused.

Changsun Chong, Wei Xian, Du Zhong and the others looked downcast, he could figure it out.

After all, among the three, no one became the champion, and it is normal for them to feel aggrieved.

But Zhang Dun, who was the number one scholar, also had a downcast face, which made him puzzled.

They are all champions, are you unhappy?

Changsun Wuji looked at Zhang Dun, no matter how it looked, it was not pleasing to the eye, and he cursed in his heart.

Zhang Dun stared at Changsun Wuji, feeling the same displeasure at how he looked at it, and the same slander in his heart, what do you do as the chief examiner, you can't even tell that the imperial examination is cheating?

Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Zhuangyuan Lang, why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhang Dun took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure about something, so I'd like to ask Changsun Shangshu to clarify, Changsun Shangshu, do you think there may be fraud in this imperial examination?"

nonsense!Changsun Wuji said silently in his heart, how could the old man not know?This imperial examination is for you!

Of course, you can't tell him this. The big hat of cheating in the imperial examination is not randomly buckled. Once it is confirmed, he, the chief examiner, will bear the blame!

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Dun said seriously: "Shangsun Shangshu, I hope to retake the exam."

The old man also hopes to retake the exam!Changsun Wuji looked at him and had to say that they had thought of something together on this matter.

However, the old emperor did not agree!

Changsun Wuji shook his head, pointed to the other candidates, and said, "Retake the exam? Even if you agree, have you ever thought about whether other candidates will agree?"

Zhang Dun looked back at the other candidates.

Everyone said without hesitation: "I don't think it's necessary!"

"That's right, with the talent of Zhang Zhuangyuan, we can't keep up with it, so why bother?"

"That article "Ma Shuo" is completely convincing. With this article alone, Zhang Langjun can be called the No. [-] Scholar!"

"There are also five different styles of characters in the Mingzi Branch. If you pick any one at random, they can all be called four characters of famous calligraphers!"

Hearing the candidates' words, Zhang Dun suddenly had the feeling of being sent a pennant after being treated in the hospital before he traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

How similar it is now!

Are you sure these guys aren't playing me?

"Did you hear that?" Changsun Wuji looked at Zhang Dun quietly, and said, "Your own opinion is useless, and you should listen to everyone's opinions. The other candidates are satisfied with the results of this imperial examination, and you alone are not satisfied." What is the use?"

As he spoke, Changsun Wuji stood up slowly with his hands on the case, and said:

"The result has been determined, and the next step is the official examination."

"You have passed the examination of the Ministry of Officials, and I will grant you official positions on the spot."

"Some of you are taking part in the imperial examination for the first time, and this official will explain to you the rules of the official examination."

Changsun Wuji glanced at the candidates present, and said in a calm tone:

"The examination of the official department mainly looks at four things, one is appearance, the other is eloquence, the third is calligraphy, and the fourth is the ability to review official documents."

"If you pass all four items, you can get an official position of the eighth or ninth rank, and you can be regarded as officially entering the court as an official."

Changsun Wuji looked at Zhang Dun with a smile on his face, and said, "First, let's start with Zhang Zhuangyuan."

Chapter 135 Official examination, do you want to stop here?beautiful you

Zhang Dun thought for a while, "Okay!"

The Ministry of Officials Examination examines appearance, eloquence, calligraphy, and the ability to review official documents.

As long as you behave badly.

Why don't you just give Changsun Wuji an excuse?

Wouldn't it be possible to stop being an official in the court?

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the hall of the government office.

Officials from the six ministries, headed by Shizhong, came in one after another.

Standing beside Menxia Shengge Shizhong are Shangshu Zuocheng, Zhongshu Sheng Zhongshu Sheren, followed by the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Household, and the Minister of Industry.

Changsun Wuji frowned, looked at them and said, "What are you doing here?"

The grey-haired Zhongshu Sheren said with a smile, "I heard that the number one scholar is very talented this time, let's take a look."

"Now it's the official exam? Go on, we'll listen."

Are you sure you came here to listen, or did you come here to snatch someone?

Changsun Wuji looked at them suspiciously, always feeling that the eyes of these people looking at Zhang Dun seemed to be shining brightly.

"Let's start with looks."

Changsun Wuji was too lazy to look at them, so he shifted his gaze to Zhang Dun, looked at his face, and muttered, "Your appearance..."

Zhang Dun said without hesitation: "I am ugly."

ugly?Changsun Wuji shook his head, don't talk nonsense, with your appearance, you are ugly?

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng smiled and said: "Zhang Zhuangyuan, you are too modest to say that."

Zhongshusheren laughed and said: "Yes, with your appearance, let alone in our Tang Dynasty, even in the previous dynasties, that's what it is."

With that said, he gave a thumbs up.

Changsun Wuji said with a straight face: "You are exaggerating too much."

The people of Zhongshushe glanced at him, "It is said that people rely on clothes and Buddhas rely on gold clothes. Now you look at Zhang Zhuangyuan, don't you think it's okay, why don't you let him wear the robes of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?

What do you mean, let the old man take off his official robe and wear it for him?Or is it the position of Shangshu that Zhang Dun can do?

Seeing that Changsun Wuji's face darkened a bit, Zhongshusheren hurriedly said:

"This is a metaphor, I just want to tell the grandson Shangshu a truth, you can't look down on others."

"If you don't know how to speak, just shut up, and get out if you talk nonsense again!" Changsun Wuji glared at him, swearing, right?Seeing that people are inferior, they almost spit out the word "dog".

Zhongshu Sheren looked back at the officials from various ministries who walked in together, and said loudly: "My colleagues, what do you think?"

The Minister of household department smiled and said:

"Zhang Zhuangyuan is handsome."

"That's right, is there a test for this appearance? He just has the face of a high-ranking official!"

"According to this official, among these candidates, there is no second person with such an official appearance!"

"This statement is reasonable, I am afraid that this is also the reason why Zhang Langjun was able to become the number one scholar in the imperial examination!"

The servants of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites echoed the Tao one after another.

Zhang Dun looked at them dully.

Let's not be related, not relatives, why are you boasting so much?I need you to praise me?

Changsun Wuji frowned as if he could kill a fly, looked at the people who spoke for Zhang Dun, and snorted coldly:

"Since so many colleagues are talking about you, I have nothing to say."

"Let's try eloquence."

"How do you think your eloquence is?"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's inquiry, Zhang Dun gestured with his hand while opening his mouth and said, "Abaaaba——"

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Six officials: "..."

The examinees stared at him dumbfounded, are you taking the official examination now, or are you "abba aba" in front of so many court ministers?

Fang Jun and Du He stared at Zhang Dun dumbfounded, good guy, brother Zhang is determined not to become an official, otherwise he wouldn't die like this!

"well said!"

Suddenly, Men Xiasheng raised his hands and applauded Shizhong, and looked at Zhang Dun with admiration.

"???" Changsun Wuji and Zhang Dun looked in shock at the applauding disciples.

Are these four words related to good words?

Changsun Wuji laughed angrily, "What's so good about him?"

The minister under the door said without hesitation: "The good thing is that it is easy to understand!"

Changsun Wuji grinned and said, "He said four words, two of which were repeated, why don't you tell the old man that what he said is easy to understand?"

The minister under the door smiled and said: "That's because you didn't understand, the old man will translate for you."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Zhang Dun and said solemnly:

"The meaning of what Zhang Langjun said was that the colleagues present who praised him for his handsome appearance just now were exaggerating. He felt that he was average-looking."

Zhang Dun couldn't believe it and looked at the door to save the matter, what did I mean by what I said just now?How come I don't know as a party? !

Changsun Wuji resisted the urge to lift the table, and said angrily, "Did you translate like this?"

"You still don't believe me?" Men Xiasheng frowned at Shi Zhong, turned his head to stare at Zhang Dun, and said, "Zhang Zhuangyuan, please say one more thing."

"Don't say it!" Zhang Dun said without hesitation. He found out that the minister in front of him was doing it on purpose, deliberately leading him in the direction of becoming an official.

"..." Menxia Sheng Shizhong looked at him quietly, don't you say?The old man has opened up the way for you, can you let it go, grinning and clapping his hands: "Well said!"

Zhang Dun: "???"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said: "He said the word 'don't say'!"

Under the door, Shizhong looked at him seriously, and said:

"Don't look at what Zhang Zhuangyuan said is two words, it's because you haven't been translated by the old man, you don't understand!"

"The meaning of Zhang Zhuangyuan's words is that there were Spring and Autumn brushwork in ancient times, and this is also a truth."

"It's like the "Ma Shuo" he wrote."

"How did you write the beginning?"
