Because Wu Song knew that Liang Shicheng was not a new party, nor was he an old party, but a eunuch party and an imperial party.
Therefore, he would not be as radical and old-fashioned as the New Party and the Old Party! If the New Party wrote a conservative article, no matter how good it was, it would definitely be blown away.
If it was the old party, you would have the same fate if you wrote a revolutionary article. If you were neutral, you would not be able to get the golden list.
As such, it was very important to cater to the examiners. For example, Great Qin used Legalism to govern the country. No matter how good one's Confucianism was, they could not avoid burning books and burying scholars.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, every generation respected Confucianism. No matter how good Legalism was, it could only sit at the bottom.
This was because during the Great Qin Era, Li Si and Han Feizi of the Legalism School were able to enjoy great benefits, while Chunyu Yue, Shu Suntong, and the others were like rats on the streets, and they even became jokes! When it came to Liu Bang, the sun and moon immediately changed. He put Shu Suntong and the other Confucians in important positions to help him govern the country.
There were three rules in place: murderers would die, people who hurt others would be punished, and thieves would be sentenced. What was the use of legalism for Liu Bang? Thus, he didn't need the Legalism to manage, but the Confucianism to educate the people.
Wu Song, who had a train of thought, wrote with great vigor.
Time passed quietly. Some of the examinees had melancholic expressions, some were scratching their ears and cheeks, and some were sweating profusely. However, Wu Song was writing with a relaxed expression.
When it came to the last question, it was to look forward to the reunion of family members with a bright moon shining in the sky. Write a poem of an ancestor!
When Wu Song saw this question, he cursed in his heart, This damn eunuch really wants to promote his father without any spare effort! As expected of Su Shi's son! He actually came up with this question."
When will the bright moon appear? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. I hope that people will last long and share the moon.
Wu Song wrote a song, Shuidiao Letou.
After the exam, Wu Song looked at it with satisfaction. He was very confident in the contents of his paper.
However, she could not hand in her paper early, and she was not allowed to whisper to each other, so she could only sit in the small room and stare blankly.
If he could hand in the paper in advance like in the future, he would definitely: This rubbish question can't stop me from going home early to hug my wife!
When he was able to walk out of the examination hall, Wu Song was the first to step out. As for the other students, they walked out slowly as if they had been injected with anesthesia.
After leaving the examination hall, the Hua family servant had already been waiting outside for a long time. Wu Song jumped into the carriage and just as he lifted the curtain, he was hit by a cotton flower.
"Husband…"
"Alright, let's go back quickly!" Wu Song patted Golden Lotus on the back.
After entering the car, the two of them kissed each other intensely for a while. Golden Lotus then asked,"I wonder how my husband did?"
Erlang pinched Jinlian's dimples and gave her a peck.""Just wait for the good news!”
Although the examination was over, all the examinees began to discuss with each other when they left the examination hall. Some even wrote their own essays and asked their masters to comment on them. After all, every examination required money and time! Therefore, everyone's attention was on the average spot. Only Wu Song went home to hug his wife!
In the yamen, Liang Shicheng was the chief examiner. He was scanning the examination papers. Due to the heavy workload, he scanned ten lines at a glance.
The way he skimmed the paper was to first look at the writing style. If the examinee couldn't even write properly, he would give up and let the officials below look at it. The second was Wen Cai. If Wen Cai was not outstanding, she would not enter his eyes. The third was whether the answer was correct or wrong.
Liang Shicheng had been looking at it for half a day, but he still didn't see anything that suited his taste.
Usually, after a few examiners read the papers, they would pick out some good ones and send them to the head examiner. However, Liang Shicheng was the exact opposite.
"Sir, please rest!" The servant at the side served him a cup of tea.
Liang Yinxiang shook his head.”
After scanning for a while, he suddenly smiled.
"Yes, this person's writing style is interesting. It has the style of several schools. Yes, his literary talent is also good."
With just a glance, Liang Shicheng could tell that this person was a calligraphy talent. In this weak Song Dynasty, which valued literature over martial arts, there were countless masters.
Emperor Zhao Ji had the thin golden body, Cai Jing had his Cai body, and Mi Fu, who was comparable to the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi.
Which official in the weak Song Dynasty wasn't a famous person? Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Zeng Gong, Fan Zhongyan…Under this style of writing, even Marshal Yue could write!
"Yes, this examinee's discussion is to the point. There's no extreme. Get rid of the dross and extract the essence. Good!”
"The most rare thing is still this handwriting. It covers all schools of thought, and there's actually the emperor's thin golden body!”Liang Yinxiang couldn't help but praise.
When Liang Shicheng flipped to the last page," When is the moon…" As he read, tears fell from Liang Yinxiang's eyes.
"I didn't expect that this candidate was a fan of my father.”
Liang Yinxiang quickly looked at the signature.
"Qinghe Wu Song"
"Isn't this the scholar who captured the tiger and brought it into the city?”
Instantly, a smug smile appeared on his face.
"This person is really not simple! His literary talent was outstanding. If he didn't become the top scorer, who would?”The hidden figure muttered to himself.
For a moment, he admired Wu Song in every possible way.
Although he did not like martial arts, he respected heroes. When he saw the two words 'Wu Song', he couldn't help but feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he heard that Wu Song had captured the tiger and brought it into the city, he had a good impression of this name. This also added some points to Wu Song's heart.
Now that he saw Wu Song's writing style, he was even more delighted.
"If this person is given time, he will definitely become a pillar of the country!”
"Such a talent, even the emperor would like him!”
After Liang Shicheng finished scanning the other papers, he did not see the writing style that made his eyes light up again. In the end, after reviewing all the manuscripts, he called all the examiners over.
Liang Yinxiang then gave these examination papers to a few examiners for them to examine again.
After the examiners 'selection, they selected more than ten papers and presented them to Liang Yinxiang again.
After Liang Shicheng looked at it carefully, he chose the ranking.
One or two days later, Liang Yinxiang drew a circle on Wu Song's paper.
"The ranking has been decided. Open the book!" He said to the person beside him.
Among the examiners he had brought, half of them were from the new party, and the other half were from the old party. Everyone looked at this person's turn of narration. They were neither biased towards the new party nor the old party, and they all agreed to let Wu Song be the Top Scorer.
Among these articles, some of the students who were good at writing focused on innovation, some were conservative, and some were two-timing. However, none of them could compare to Wu Song in terms of literary talent!
There was no first in words and no second in martial arts. When Liang shi saw the name Wu Song, he immediately thought of the Tiger Killer. In addition, his writing style was indeed better than others, so he was properly circled by the hidden phase.
This era was very particular about etiquette and law. They liked to pursue reason and evidence in everything they did. Because Yin Shi was a tiger and Chen Shi was a dragon, there was an unwritten rule everywhere. That was, to announce more at Yin Shi and Chen Ri. This was the so-called 'Dragon and Tiger Ranking', and it was for good luck.
