Good Man Operation Guide

The days of preparing for the exam are fulfilling but boring.

Thanks to Master Lin's blessing, Lin Shiheng stayed in the upper room. The inn would prepare food and drink, and other coachmen would try their best to help him.

The exam day soon came, and I entered the exam room according to the procedures. The exam had not officially started yet, and there were people whispering around me.

"Have you heard? His Royal Highness is also here to invigilate the exam this time."

"Didn't you say that His Highness the Prince will not be involved in government affairs?"

"Brother Zhao is confused, that is His Highness the Crown Prince, how can he compare with other princes?"

The prince of this dynasty is fifteen years old. Before he was born, His Majesty had nothing to do, so after getting his first son, he was overjoyed and directly announced the title of prince.

It would have been nice if he was really the only child, but unfortunately since His Highness the Crown Prince was born, the curse of no one getting pregnant in the harem seems to have been broken automatically, and princes and princesses appeared one after another, and they were all about the same age as His Highness the Crown Prince.

There were more children, and the emperor did not love the prince as much as before. His highness, who had a large group of younger brothers and sisters, was in an embarrassing situation.

This time, as the prince, he should be sitting in the capital like his father, but he was actually sent to invigilate the exam, and he was also the deputy examiner, which made people doubt the prince's status in the eyes of the emperor.

Of course, these are things that higher-ranking officials have to think about. The group of scholars in the examination room today cannot think of such far-reaching things. They are just excited to see His Highness the Crown Prince.

Among the excited scholars, a scholar with an indifferent face, sitting quietly and relaxing, stood out more and more.

Sun Xiucai...ah no, the prince saw such a scene as soon as he followed the examiner in. His heart suddenly froze, and he felt that his judgment was correct.

Lin Shiheng is indeed different from ordinary people.

His situation became more and more difficult. His father was getting older and his temper was getting weirder. He ignored his younger brothers and allowed them to provoke and dig holes for him. The princes became more and more conniving and emboldened.

This time he came to be the deputy examiner. After all, he was appointed by his father, but he was assassinated on the road. Don't think that those assassins could hide it from him by pretending to be people from the previous dynasty. Those assassins were clearly sent by his younger brothers.

The prince's heart was filled with hatred. He was young, his biological mother died young, and no one in the palace could speak for him. Recently, his relationship with his father became more and more distant. His brothers were jumping up and down, trying to kick him off and sit on their own. The position of prince is not without great pressure.

At only fifteen years old, no one could believe it.

After all, he is still afraid. Although he is the prince, he can actually give far less to his subordinates than his brothers who have the support of their mother's clan. Most of the people around him are just for fame and fortune. The prince is very worried. If his brothers Given more fame and fortune, will the people around him betray him like this time?

Thinking of this, the prince looked at Lin Shiheng who was sitting quietly in his seat with bright eyes.

He is different!

He is talented, does not love money, has a bottom line, and has a strategy. Moreover, he is an examinee this time, and as the deputy examiner this time, he has a natural close relationship with Lin Shiheng.

It would be strange not to recruit such a good candidate for a counselor!

Not to mention that he was very confident in Lin Shiheng's literary talent, just relying on his relationship to recruit people, in this exam, as long as Lin Shiheng's writing was not so bad, he would be able to get him on the list.

The prince was excited and happy when he thought about finally cultivating his own team. When he thought that Lin Shiheng didn't know his identity yet, he felt a little bit more naughty about being a young man.

If he stood in front of Lin Shiheng now, and someone on the side called him His Royal Highness, would this scholar, who has been tepid and never changed his face since they met, be frightened to the point of changing his face?

Thinking about it, the prince coughed dryly and walked to Lin Shiheng's side seemingly accidentally.

The person next to me reminded: "His Royal Highness is here."

Everyone in the room immediately knelt down.

"The common people join His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."

Lin Shiheng also knelt down lightly and followed the crowd and finished speaking. After the prince spoke, he looked up.

The fifteen-year-old prince deliberately smiled at him like he did before.

The scholar in Tsing Yi returned the same smile and sat in his seat with a calm expression.

Prince: "..."

its not right!

What about the promised shock? !

Until the exam started, Lin Shiheng calmly started writing, and the prince had not yet reacted.

He knew that Lin Shiheng had guessed that his identity was not simple, but he didn't guess that he was the prince, right?

The fifteen-year-old Crown Prince fell into confusion.

After being confused, he found a reason on his own.

It must be because Mr. Lin is so smart.

Yes, that's it.

He must recruit Mr. Lin. When judging the papers, if Lin Shiheng fails the exam, he will let him pass. If his grades are not good, then move forward, and always make Mr. Lin owe him a debt first. Favors are the only way to solicit favors.

The prince thought about it and buried himself in the paper.

He came prepared. Although his name was sealed, he had specifically looked at Lin Shiheng's handwriting before and remembered his handwriting in his heart. As long as he saw the paper, he would definitely find an opportunity.

He didn't trust anyone, so he simply decided to do it himself. Fortunately, although he was the prince, he could still judge the case together.

However, the prince's luck was so bad. He worked hard and corrected a batch of papers in his hand without rest, but he couldn't find any trace of Lin Shiheng.

It can't be so unlucky, right? After finally getting a good opportunity to sell it to the promising adviser, it slipped away?

The prince was feeling sad when he suddenly heard a discussion coming from the examiner who was reading the paper.

"This article is good and the writing is good, but I don't know who the talented person is."

"Seeing it now, this one deserves to be number one."

"Oh? Let me take a look."

The prince felt a little disappointed. It seemed that the first one had been chosen by them.

It's a pity, he still thinks that Mr. Lin deserves to be number one.

With the idea of ​​"let me find fault", the prince stood up and walked to the group of adults holding a paper for discussion, "Can you let me take a look too?"

The adults who had been having a heated discussion just now fell silent. They also became jealous and forgot that His Highness the Crown Prince was still there.

The prince successfully got the test paper, and then his eyes widened.

Isn't this Mr. Lin's handwriting?

In order to prevent cheating, the previous government ordered that all candidates' papers must be copied first and then handed over to the examiners for evaluation. However, candidates can still write the agreed vocabulary on the papers. It can be said that you have Zhang Liang remembers that I had a wall ladder.

In this dynasty, the late emperor ordered that in order to avoid commotion, the examiners were assigned by officials from the capital to various places and could not go to their hometowns. Once they arrived, they would be followed closely by the eunuchs sent by the emperor and lived together in the examination institute. Make a question.

The examiners can't leave the examination center until the questions are finished and the exam is over and the grades are corrected and the results are issued.

The prince is an exception. He is equivalent to a mascot and has no right to ask questions. Therefore, no one will complain about him if he arrives late. However, once he enters the examination room, as the deputy examiner, he cannot leave until the results are out.

Because of this regulation, reputation copying is dispensable, and the court does not want to abolish it. In addition, there are always mistakes in reputation copying. It is obvious that the examinee did not make a mistake, but the person who copied the paper made a mistake, which caused the examinee's performance to decline. Therefore, at the beginning of this dynasty, the honor code was cancelled.

Only then can the candidates' papers appear in front of the examiner in their original form.

That's not bad, at least many examiners occasionally look at handwriting to increase their score.

Now, the prince looked at the paper in his hand and was 100% sure that this was Mr. Lin's handwriting.

As for the article written above, he watched Mr. Lin write it.

His Royal Highness was a little confused when he fully wanted to open h0u'me:n, but found that someone just opened the skylight and went up to the sky.

There were a lot of older examiners next to me who asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of this?"

The prince forced a smile.

"good."

At the same time, I became more determined to recruit Mr. Lin.

Such a great talent must be put to use by him.

No, there is no need to recruit, they have already agreed with each other.

The prince felt that Lin Shiheng was unfathomable. The scholar's smile at him in the examination room was now interpreted as that he had accepted his olive branch.

The fate between them must have been destined, and God had destined Mr. Lin to help him.

In the future, he will definitely be able to defeat his father, defeat his younger brother, sit on the throne, and get along well with Mr. Lin.

The prince, full of fighting spirit, stayed in the depressed little courtyard until he finished correcting the papers.

Before he could recruit Lin Shiheng, a group of fast horses from the capital entered the city.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is seriously ill and calls on you to return to Beijing as soon as possible!!"

In the countryside, Li Lanlan was washing clothes. Mother Lin came back from outside and said, "Lan Lan, I saw your father went to help in our fields again. You can cook more dishes and let your father-in-law come to our house to eat in the evening."

"Eh."

Li Lanlan responded with a clear voice, dried the washed clothes, got up and went to the kitchen to see what would be cooked that night.

Mother Lin was still a little absent-minded, because her son had taken the exam several times, and she was very familiar with the process. She knew that the results should be released by now, and the results of the general exams would be sent to the county government first. If anyone passed the exam, Yes, the government will naturally send someone to announce the good news.

She had only heard her son talk about it before, but had never seen it before. Now she was hoping that her son would pass the exam, but at the same time, she was thinking that if he didn't pass the exam, she shouldn't be too disappointed to avoid putting pressure on the child. She raised her head from time to time and Look outside.

The eldest daughter-in-law next door knew what her mother-in-law was thinking when she saw her like this, and immediately rolled her eyes.

I really don’t know what my mother-in-law is thinking. The third brother has failed to pass the exam after so many years. I’m afraid he really doesn’t have the real material. If this was her son, she would definitely not let him take the exam and let him go to the county to make money. .

The second daughter-in-law was a little restless. Seeing the unconcerned look on her sister-in-law's face, she simply came over quietly.

"Sister-in-law, you said that if the third brother really passes the exam, is it wrong for us to separate our families?"

"Don't daydream. If he could pass the exam, he would have passed the exam long ago. Why wait until now?"

The eldest daughter-in-law was very sure, "Don't worry, he will never pass the exam in his life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faint sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside.

Mother Lin was shaken and stood outside the door looking forward to it.

Father Lin, who was drowsy in the room, heard the noise and thought about what the old lady had told him before to announce the good news if he passed the exam. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stretched out his weak hands to sit up and look outside.

In their anticipation, the people playing gongs and drums finally came to the door. The leader stopped when he saw the expectant look on Mother Lin's face.

"Is this the home of Mr. Lin Shihenglin? We are here to announce the good news. Congratulations to Mr. Lin for passing the high school in the provincial examination. From now on, he will be Mr. Jieyuan!!"
