During the Qing Dynasty, if a man wanted to enter Beijing as an official, ordinary people could only pass the method of examination, and the final winner could smoothly start his career. However, who will be this champion, not necessarily to see whether his article is written well or not, sometimes there will be some more exceptional cases, for example, when Kangxi, there was a person named Deng Zhongyue, who could finally become a champion but it had nothing to do with his strength, but his article level was still a little bad.
When Deng Zhongyue took the test, his results were not very good, and the examiner at the time took a look at his test paper, and immediately gave a disgusted look, and said that he would start again in three years. However, there was an examiner named Xu Taozhang who saw his examination paper and was also attracted by his good handwriting, but this examiner surnamed Xu originally had some research on calligraphy, and naturally knew very well whether Deng Zhongyue's writing was good or not, so he finally consulted with other examiners.
In order to bet on whether Deng Zhongyue could finally get on the list, these examiners really let him successfully get the link of the palace examination, it seems that his strength is not good, but the luck value is bursting, and it is already the result of being out. When it was really time to go to the temple examination, he really used his talents and finally ranked badly, at this time, Xu Taozhang stood up again to speak for him, was there any mystery between these two people, was there a bribe in the middle.
In fact, this is not the case, because Kangxi has a special love for good calligraphy, and Xu Taozhang just knows this matter very well, so he has to open the way for Deng Zhongyue to stand up every time. Every time another examiner disagreed with Deng Zhongyue, he would brainwash everyone on the grounds that Kangxi liked calligraphy, after all, the emperor at this time was almost 70 years old, it was still necessary to cater to his personal preferences, and after listening to it, others also felt that it was very reasonable, and they really believed him.
Therefore, Deng Zhongyue's examination paper was really sent to Kangxi in the name of the first ten, and it became the first place because of the word, Kangxi also said that the article was really not good, but the writing was really too good. And Kangxi is already an old man who has reached the age, he wants to do whatever he likes, who dares to say a word of disagreement, and finally Deng Zhongyue became the leader of this exam and began his own official path.
And Deng Zhongyue after he had an official position, people also praised his style and attitude of doing things, originally he should have gone to Beijing to take the exam 12 years ago, but in order to maintain his family's life, he waited until his younger brothers and sisters grew up before he began to think about himself, so he has always maintained a consistent principle in his position, in the official field for nearly 30 years, basically no one will say anything about him, and finally he slowly walked to the position of official waiter.
Because it was not easy for him to come to this title, so when he presided over the imperial examination in the future, he would also understand the situation of those candidates, and then make his own choices, he always felt that if he met someone who was really poor in the family, he should give him a chance, otherwise it would be too unkind, and he did do so, it seems that Deng Zhongyue can become this title is also partly exchanged for his own good character.
