Chapter 178: Sit and watch the clouds roll up
[Welcome to pay attention to the personal WeChat public account "Tiangao Chenyuan", share some reading experiences from time to time, recommend some books that can be read when there is a shortage of books, and also have some views on movies and television, if you like it, just take a look, if you don't like it, you can take it directly!]
[In addition, I recommend my new book "The Building Will Fall", I personally think that it can still be read!]
Inside the palace and outside the palace, there are always two worlds, and a high wall shows the supremacy of imperial power to the fullest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The palace is already a bloody storm, and outside the palace is still the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
With the passage of time, the crusade of the literati against the Cui family gradually faded, but as the release date approached, the criticism of the children of the wealthy family in the anxiety never decreased.
The Xu Party forces took the opportunity to withdraw from the public opinion, although they could not hide it from the world, but as long as the emperor's eyes were attracted by the upcoming "academic tide", Xu Fan's encounter could be regarded as a successful retreat.
In Chang'an City, anyone with a little identity has already determined in their hearts that as long as the release day comes, the poor students will definitely make a big fuss.
Chan Xilie didn't have the guts or the strength to challenge the rules that had lasted for decades.
Although the wealthy students were forced to dare not go out, they still sang and danced in their respective homes, and they did not worry about their grades at all.
The three prime ministers, Li Linfu was busy negotiating with the other six families except the Cui family, and by the way, he was so busy that he didn't have time to take care of Chen Xilie's mess.
Xu Fan is also operating the resources in his hands, and he is very targeted at the officials from the Cui family, and he will replace them with his own people when he takes one down.
And Chen Xilie thinks that he has already taken a countermeasure, and for the surging public opinion in the city, he is still locked up in the Gongyuan Courtyard and has a bit of a taste of sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai.
On the day of the release of the list, the outside of the Gongyuan was surrounded by water, and the worried poor students stretched their necks one by one.
Although they are ready to make a big fuss if they don't win, in fact, everyone wants their name to appear on the emperor's list.
Lu Hao didn't want to come over in person, although he could be regarded as a poor student, but whether it was Xu Fan, Xiao Jiong or even Cheng Ruoshui, he had already had a point, and this time he would definitely not be able to run a Jinshi background.
As a "relational household", running into a group of ordinary candidates with unknown futures, it is inevitable that he will feel a little apologetic in his heart, not to mention that Lu Hao knew what these people would do next, and when the riot happened, he didn't know whether to stop it or stand by......
But early this morning, Ruan Wenhao and a group of people who had been in contact with him before came to the door to invite him, but Lu Hao couldn't shirk it, so he had to follow.
"Alas...... Speaking of which, Brother Xu is really a pity this year!" Ruan Wenhao suddenly sighed: "The number of people admitted this year is three times that of previous years, if Brother Xu also enters the examination room, he will definitely be able to occupy a seat!"
"Yes, with Brother Xu's talent, not to mention the Zhongjinshi, it is very possible to enter the top three, and even win the crown! It's a pity that ......"
"It's all that damn Mrs. Qiu!" The angry student had already mobilized his emotions in advance, "There is no good thing in the powerful family!"
"Not bad!" Mars was together, and someone immediately responded: "If the result this time is fair, it's okay to say, if it's still like in previous years, I will go to the front of Jinshui Bridge!"
The already noisy scene became even more restless due to the appearance of another fire, and Lu Hao was in it, but there was a trace of trance in his heart.
I haven't seen my big brother for more than a month......
When the Gongyuan was in full swing, outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Xiao Jiong personally sent out Xu Chen, who had been in prison for more than a month.
"I'll send a car to send you back!" Xiao Jiong glanced around, and said lightly: "Today's list is just released, and the people of Chang'an City have gathered outside the Tribute Courtyard." ”
"No, just take a walk. ”
After speaking, Xu Chen smiled and nodded, and walked away.
Xiao Jiong looked at it twice, and turned back expressionlessly.
Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, all the way to the east, until the Jinshui Bridge, the people walking on this section of the road are basically dignitaries, and in the past, they were not considered to be like dragons, but today they are becoming more and more deserted.
Xu Chen walked alone for a while, and the sound of a horse stepping on the bluestone came from behind him.
An ordinary carriage slowly walked beside Xu Chen, the curtain was lifted, and Wan Shijun said lightly: "Come up and sit?"
Xu Chen tilted his head and thought about it, and nodded slightly.
There is nothing special in the ordinary carriage, this is actually the most ordinary carriage.
Thinking about it, with Wanjia's style, he really won't do that kind of thing to cover his ears and steal the bell.
After Xu Chen sat down, Wan Shijun poured a cup of tea for him, and then slowly spoke: "In the palace, Gao Lishi didn't know why he made a big move, and the palace maids and eunuchs died a lot......"
"The prince didn't care about your business for a while, and in the end, it should have been Gao Lishi who came forward to warn Cui's ......"
Xu Chen has given up contact with the outside world for more than a month, and is thinking about what kind of mentality to use to face these teenagers, to face the future crisis, and even how to face this strange world......
He has been thinking about it, and he didn't even see Lu Hao and others asking to see him, and he really had some doubts about Xiao Jiong's sudden arrival to send him out of prison today.
After listening to Wan Shijun's explanation, Xu Chen nodded expressionlessly.
Wan Shijun glanced at him and continued: "Over there in Boling, your third brother is doing a good job, the army of the imperial court has been stationed outside Anping City, but the Cui family doesn't seem to have any plans to break the net, you should find out for yourself after you go back to the news of the situation." ”
The carriage turned onto Suzaku Street and headed for the tributary courtyard.
"As for today's ......" Wan Shijun lifted the curtain on one side and said to Xu Chen lightly: "The Hanmen scholars will definitely make a fuss, how the others will react, we can take a look together." ”
Xu Chen still nodded lightly.
Wan Shijun was not surprised at all, if the person in front of him asked a question like "What do you want to do?", it would not be worth his effort.
The two stopped outside a teahouse near the Gongyuan in a car, and Xu Chen followed upstairs and sat down in a private room that had already been booked, with a crowded crowd outside the window.
Wan Shijun gave Xu Chen a brief introduction to the situation, and then stopped saying a word, and drank tea wholeheartedly, and Xu Chen, who had been silent for more than a month, became even more silent, and did not have the slightest idea of speaking.
The two of them sat opposite each other and drank tea, occasionally looking up at the chaotic world outside the window.
"It's a good feeling. Xu Chen suddenly chuckled.
Wan Shijun thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Indeed, the clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, you and I are not like these people after all......"
"Me?" Xu Chen pointed at himself and shook his head with a smile: "No! My previous pursuit was to drink tea, read books, and sleep when I was tired, which was very simple!"
Wan Shijun just smiled.
Outside the window, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and a team of forbidden soldiers escorted two blue-robed officials to the wooden sign that had already been erected, and quickly pasted a large piece of gold leaf paper on it.
As the two of them moved, the students standing outside the white line became more restless, stretching their necks one by one, and kept jumping up and squeezing forward......
"Squeeze what, squeeze! If you get hit, you can't make it?"
"That's it, don't fucking squeeze it! Lao Tzu's shoes are all ......."
The red list was quickly posted, and the gold list, which was more than three feet long, was densely filled with hundreds of names with red pens.
It wasn't until this moment that the students really breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it has been rumored since the beginning of the year that the number of students admitted this year will be much higher than in previous years, for most students from poor backgrounds, such rumors have little credibility at all, and there have never been fewer similar rumors in previous years.
It wasn't until the moment they saw the gold list that the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.
In any case, the number of admissions is indeed much higher than in previous years, which is undoubtedly great news for all students from poor backgrounds.
Soon, as the names on the gold list were discovered and confirmed one by one, there were exclamations one after another from the square outside the Gongyuan.
The voice was poignant and high-pitched, and the endless joy turned into an angry cry in the chest, and it sounded like the sadness of a cuckoo crying blood.
cried with joy, grabbed the ground with his head, ran and shouted, and showed his breasts......
The small square suddenly became full of worldly conditions.
Xu Chen in the teahouse watched quietly, with a sense of déjà vu, although he was very calm when he got the university admission notice.
"It's coming!" Wan Shijun glanced at it and said lightly.
Sure enough, as more than 300 names were found from beginning to end, the students who fell off the list began to re-examine the more than 300 names on the list with an extremely angry emotion.
And Lu Hao, who had already seen his name, had a feeling of burning fire at the moment.
"Congratulations, Brother Lu is ranked third!" Ruan Wenhao hugged his fists and said happily.
"Brother Ruan is not bad!" Lu Hao looked around for a gap to withdraw while perfunctory.
"Being able to get the tenth is really beyond my expectations......" Ruan Wenhao sighed at the same time, he was also worried about the movements of his friends next to him.
The group of people who followed Ruan Wenhao and Lu Hao, although they were all poor students, most of them had good academic knowledge, and the number of admissions has increased this year, and according to the proportion, several of them are on the list.
However, there is never a time when desires can be satisfied.
If there were no rumors before, it would be fine, but now after learning that the number of students admitted to wealthy families is much higher than that of poor students, how can these poor students who failed the list be willing to accept it?
Soon, the excited students completed the specific comparison of more than 300 names, and all the students who were able to enter Beijing to catch the examination this year had an understanding of the general situation of this year's students in one or a few months before the scientific examination.
In view of the existence of the system of "Xingjuan", there were almost no people who immersed themselves in studying after the students of the Tang Dynasty entered Beijing, and within a few months of arriving in the capital, the students lingered in large and small literary and poetry clubs.
In order to increase his own fame, in the hope of being able to enter the eyes of nobles.
Although it is impossible for one person to know all the thousands of students, it is still easy to locate the more than 300 people on the gold list after supplementing left and right.
Sure enough, the number of students from wealthy families is four times that of students from poor families!
The total number of poor students is ten times that of wealthy students, and the rate of being on the list is only a pitiful 20%!
If you want to say that there is no favoritism in it, the ghost will not believe it!
"Open your eyes, open your eyes and see!" The angry student from the humble door had already knelt on the ground and shouted to the sky, slamming his fists on the bluestone, regardless of the bleeding, his red eyes were full of tears, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Is there justice in this world?"
