Chapter 21: On the Eve of the Imperial Examination
Tang Shiming lined up for a day, and it was finally his turn to sign up, and there were nearly 1,000 people participating in the imperial examination this year, and what he had to do was to stand out from the nearly 1,000 people who participated in the imperial examination.

Tang Shiming walked up to the official who signed up and took the initiative to hand over his official certificate.
The official certificate mainly represents his status, and it is also one of the items when signing up and joining the company in the future
Important credentials.
The official wrote Tang Shiming's name on the registration book and a line of numbers on the official certificate to identify him, and then handed the official certificate back to Tang Shiming along with a wooden number plate.
Tang Shiming took the number plate and his official certificate, and then walked towards the sign near the registration point.
Tang Shiming walked under the notice board and saw that it read the contents of the imperial examination.
"Candidates are not allowed to cheat, and those who knowingly commit crimes will not only be disqualified from the examination, but also stripped of their fame and sent to the prison of the National Prison."
"Candidates are not allowed to bribe invigilators and examiners, otherwise they will be punished by the law of the Ming Dynasty."
"The test date is from March 28 to March 30, a total of three days, candidates need to bring their own food and drink before entering the venue, and the prepared food and drink will be checked by the invigilator for no non-compliance before they can be brought into the examination room."
"After the exams, the results will be released on April 6."
"Note: Candidates are required to bring their own pen and ink, but do not need to bring paper."
These instructions are not much different from last year, and after Tang Shiming read them, he was ready to turn around and leave here.
"Brother Tang, slow down!" At this time, Tang Shiming heard a man's voice behind him.
"Brother Botao?" Tang Shiming turned around and saw a man in a blue cloth shirt.
This person was met by Tang Shiming during the last imperial examination, this person is good at talking with people, at the beginning Tang Shiming took him as a confidant, but then the two disagreed, and had an unpleasant quarrel, and later although it was resolved, there was already distrust between each other.
"Brother Tang, it's been six years since the last imperial examination, I didn't expect you to come again, fate, fate!" Lu Botao was full of smiles.
"Brother Bo Tao is smiling, is he already in high school?" Tang Shiming looked at Lu Botao opposite, it didn't look like he had already entered the court, he should have come to participate in the imperial examination.
"Last year was just one step short." Lu Botao showed a trace of regret on his face.
Tang Shiming patted Lu Botao on the shoulder, "I hope Brother Botao can go to high school this time." ”
Lu Botao leaned into Tang Shiming's ear, "Brother Tang, I now have a high school path, and I still need Brother Tang to join, and you and I can work together to succeed." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Tang Shiming looked at Lu Botao suspiciously.
"This is not the place to speak." Lu Botao pointed to the officials and soldiers over there.
Those officials and soldiers were vigilantly monitoring the candidates queuing up to register, and Tang Shiming didn't want to attract their attention.
The two left the place where the department reported their names together, and soon came to a restaurant, and the two directly booked a private room.
The wine and food were put up, Xiao Er also retreated, Tang Shiming turned around and closed the doors and windows, sat down again, and looked at Lu Botao.
"Brother Botao, you can talk about it."
Lu Botao nodded and poured a glass of wine, "What Brother Tang and I ask for is just the title of the gold list, there are thousands of people in the imperial examination, and it is so difficult to stand out from them." ”
"Indeed" Tang Shiming couldn't help but sigh, six years ago when he participated in the imperial examination, he was in high spirits, and he felt that he had written a perfect chapter at that time, but in the end he was still famous.
Now Tang Shiming is no longer what it used to be, and the chapters of the past are all wrong and missing in front of him now.
The improvement of intelligence made Tang Shiming more aware that only true perfection can conquer the discerning examiner.
Lu Botao looked up in the direction of the window, "There are thousands of strategies, and we have been studying hard since childhood, but there is no end to the sea of books, and we can only read thousands of volumes roughly." ”
"Not bad" Tang Shiming nodded, what Lu Botao said was indeed the truth.
"It's so difficult to make a decision, but the reason is that there are so many questions that we can't concentrate on one of them, but wouldn't it be nice if you and I could know the exam questions in advance!" Lu Botao showed excitement on his face, "A few days ago, I had a relationship with the examiner Yang He Yang's son who presided over the examination, and the son of Lord Yang did not participate in the imperial examination this time in order to avoid suspicion, but he told me that he saw a line of words in his father's study, which was related to policy theory. ”
Tang Shiming couldn't help but be moved, if someone can know the exam questions in advance, then they will definitely have a great advantage in the exam.
It's just that at this moment, my daughter's words are still in my ears. Besides, what he is going to do in the future is the imperial history, and his vigilance against Lu Botao has increased greatly.
"Lord Yang's son told me that if you want to know that line, you only need to send him a thousand taels of silver, Brother Tang, this opportunity is rare, don't miss it!" Lu Botao's eyes fell on Tang Shiming's body with blazing eyes.
Tang Shiming couldn't help but shake his head, "Brother Lu, a thousand taels of silver is nothing, but I'm only afraid that today's high school will have an incident tomorrow, and I will end up in prison, and my future will be ruined." ”
"I understand Brother Tang's words, but everything is risky, if you don't gamble today, don't you gamble tomorrow, do you have to wait until the first birth, old age, and then desolate for a lifetime?" Lu Botao persuaded.
"Brother Lu doesn't need to say any more," Tang Shiming stood up.
Throwing off his sleeves from the restaurant, Tang Shiming returned all the way back to the rented place.
I asked the servants who were with him, but the daughter had not yet returned.
Tang Shiming opened a book of Mencius annotations, and read it silently under the window by the afterglow of the sunset.
The night is getting deeper, Tang Shiming feels more and more sleepy, the candle has been lit, he is still insisting, at this time, he can read more, he can write more during the exam, and the chance of high school is greater.
It wasn't until it was close to the second watch that Tang Shiming fell asleep.
On the third watch in the evening, Tang Mo and Ye Fei quietly came back with Xiaocui and Xiaotao.
After going out for a night, they visited three houses, basically no money, all kinds of melons, fruits and drinks were free, those men spent a lot of money for women, and they were just spectators.
The next morning, Tang Shiming woke up from the bed, and while he was washing, he recalled in his heart what he had seen yesterday.
Since his resurrection, Tang Shiming has found that his memory has improved many times, and after reading the book, when he thinks about it again the next day, he can still be as clear as he was at the beginning.
Tang Shiming didn't know if it was the legendary memorization, and he didn't know how long these memories would last, but it was always right to read more books.
"Master, Miss has come to greet you." Xiao Cui's voice came from outside.
"This crazy girl" Tang Shiming scolded with a smile, his daughter is now in the White Lotus Sect, and he is protected by the White Lotus Holy Envoy by his side, he has no reason to worry at all, but before he fell asleep last night, he still thought about whether something would happen to his daughter.
"Let her in." Tang Shiming said.
Xiaocui pushed open the door, and the neatly dressed Tang Mo walked in, "Mo'er has said hello to Daddy." ”
"Okay, get up, it's time to eat soon, Dad will be reading here for the past two days, you can play if you want, I finally came to the capital once, don't be wronged." Tang Shiming said.
"Dad, you're so nice." Tang Mo said softly.
Today, Tang Mo is going to go to the East Market, where the rudder of the White Lotus Sect is located, and it is mixed, but in Ye Fei's mouth, it is a place full of warmth, because Ye Fei spent his childhood there before.
At that time, she was still a little beggar on the streets of the capital......
