The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"I believe you all know who I'm talking about. He is the chief officer of the provincial examination, Wang Kang!"

"Let's invite him to encourage everyone!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang, who was originally sitting, froze for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I just did what I should do, and it's the result of the hard work of all the adults."

"Oh, you are so rare to be humble,"

Yan Liqun smiled and said: "When you were asked to speak, you pushed and shoved, no, you are the chief officer, you still have to say this!"

Lin Xiangru also said, "Let's say a few words."

Several people persuaded him, but Wang Kang couldn't help it, so he stood up, and for a while, all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

Wang Kang was not stage-frightened either, he stepped up from the table and walked to the aisle.

He looked around at the people sitting there, gradually checking their faces. During the scientific examination, in order to check for cheating candidates, Wang Kang went through all the candidates in the roster...

Thoughts flashed, Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "As you can see, I am Wang Kang!"

"The prodigal son you call, the most connected household in Zhao country!"

"I know that you have a lot of prejudice against me. You have a lot of dissatisfaction. You are not a weak crown, you have no talent, and you preside over the imperial examination. What you rely on is His Majesty's grace, but you are born in Fuyang!"

"Prejudice is a mountain in people's hearts, I can't change it, and I don't care,"

"I am who I am!"

The opening rhetoric is to make everyone's hearts tremble suddenly!

Because what Wang Kang said in their hearts is also their true thoughts.

Even the officials present felt the same way.

At the beginning, they also thought so, but compared to this, they were even more impressed by Wang Kang's attitude.

I don't care what you think.

I am who I am!

Wang Kang continued: "Most of the questions in this imperial examination are written by me. I know that many of you have complained that this question is biased and difficult, but who can really think about it? ,has no meaning!"

"Participate in the Qionglin Banquet, Jinshi and the first degree, selected from more than 5000 candidates, and glorify your family. Your parents brag to the neighbors and hold a big banquet!"

"And you yourself are wearing Jinshi uniforms, showing off in the market, enjoying the envious eyes of others, and you have become children of other people's family!"

"When you get home, there will be wealthy gentry and outsiders coming to give gifts, and a matchmaker will come to introduce you to your marriage."

"You can even come in front of a girl you admired, but she once looked down on you. Look, you misunderstood me. Now I'm a Jinshi..."

"Ha ha!"

After these words fell, many people laughed, because this is the status quo and a practical matter.

But at this time, Wang Kang changed the topic, and his voice became cold: "But I advise you, don't do this!"

"Because, in my opinion, you are not qualified at all!"

This sentence made the scene suddenly cold, and the crowd who were still laughing became surprised!

"You are just some relatively lucky people, because according to my admission criteria, only a few of you are qualified!"

Hearing this, many people present blushed. They all studied hard and paid a lot.

Now Wang Kang despises him, how can he be convinced.

One person finally couldn't bear it anymore, stood up impressively and said: "My lord, I feel dissatisfied with your words!"

Wang Kang asked lightly: "Why don't you accept it?"

"We have passed the scientific examination and passed the exam. Being able to sit here is enough to show that how can you say that we are unqualified."

"Yes!"

The phrase struck a chord.

Wang Kang looked at this person and said, "Your name is Bai Yong, and you are from the suburbs of Fengzhou..."

Bai Yong asked in surprise, "You know me?"

"Every candidate, I know,"

Wang Kang said something that shocked everyone, then changed the subject and said, "Tell me about your exam paper."

"The six subjects of the exam, the classics, the theory, and the strategy, you are only ordinary, the words are good, and the law is a mess, am I right?"

Bai Yongdeng was speechless.

Wang Kang asked rhetorically, "Before the announcement of the ranking, do you think you can rank?"

Bai Yong was even more speechless.

"The reason why you were admitted was because your calculation skills were outstanding. It was considered an exceptional admission. Aren't you lucky?"

Wang Kang said coldly: "Since this is the case, you should remain humble and refuse to accept? What right do you have to refuse?"

"In a situation like yours, there are many of you...so I say you are not qualified, and you still have a lot to learn!"

Bai Yong faltered and sat down with a flushed face.

Wang Kang looked around the crowd, and said again: "Being a Jinshi is nothing to show off, although you have passed the imperial examination room!"

"But there is a bigger examination room waiting for you!"

"This examination room is the officialdom, the country, and the judges are the citizens of the city!"

This sentence made everyone tremble.

Wang Kang continued: "After this, you will all step into the officialdom, but I hope that you can, in your own positions, respect your duties and responsibilities, use what you have learned, use what you know, serve as an official, and benefit everyone!"

"This is what I want to say to you, to encourage you!"

For a while, the audience was silent, and everyone stared at Wang Kang with dark eyes.

His words are eloquent and thought-provoking. I believe that after many years, these people will remember...Wang Kang's encouragement to them!

I don't know who was the first to stand up, and then followed one after another, moved out of the seat, and bowed deeply to Wang Kang!

What they do is the teacher's etiquette!
