You can't win 'em all!

Although Jiang Yun entered the Prince's Mansion, Empress Chen had long looked at her unpleasantly, and used her as a thorn in the flesh, although she couldn't resist Prince Xuande to let her enter the Prince's Mansion, but how could it be so easy to cheapen her.

Now that the Middle Palace has issued a clear order, Jiang Yun has to enter the palace for Fengyi, and because of the loss of virtue, he is not allowed to be promoted.

Fengyi is the fifth grade, which is the lowest grade in the prince's backyard, almost no different from the concubine.

Empress Chen also explicitly ordered Jiang Yun's status not to be promoted, thinking that if Queen Chen was not boiled to death, even if the crown prince really ascended to a high position in the future, Jiang Yun's status would not be promoted.

After Lu Shuo heard this, he was quite emotional.

This time, it was supposed to be smooth and deserved, and let the four princes stir up, not only Jiang Yun, a good official lady, was reduced to the point of being a concubine, but even Prince Xuande himself was also implicated, and after a period of time, I am afraid it will not be easy to recover.

This feud between the two sides is really big!

A new feud and an old feud, I am afraid that after the aftermath of this matter has passed, a new round of fighting between the two factions will start again.

The grievances and hatred between the four princes and Prince Xuande were not discussed for long, and were soon covered up by the upcoming township test.

The township examination is the most competitive and cruel round of the imperial examination at all levels, and it is also the most rigorous round of examination.

Over the past 100 years, only 150 of the 3,000 students have been selected for almost every township examination, with a rate of nearly 5 percent.

And with the gradual improvement of the official system of Daqi, the surplus of bureaucrats at all levels has increased, and the number of new scientific students has been required to be even less, and this phenomenon is clearly reflected in the imperial examination, and every ten years, the admission rate of the township examination will be reduced a little.

At this point, five percent is a very ideal number, but in practice, the proportion is much lower.

Because of this, whether it is invigilation or grading, the imperial court has stricter control in this regard, so that in previous years, there was little fraud in the township examination.

Because once fraud is discovered, the consequences are extremely serious.

Not to mention that the candidates are removed from the list and distributed, and even the guarantor will be implicated, facing the danger of being removed from the fame.

On the eighth day of August, in the anxious anticipation of all the students, the Guannai Daoxiang test finally began.

Before dawn that day, and there was still rain in the sky, Lu Shuo and Sun Zhe took a carriage to the Yan Academy.

There were many people waiting outside the dragon gate early.

Lu Shuo held an umbrella and waved his hand to Sun Zhe to separate, the two of them were not in the same exam because of their different origins.

Saying goodbye to Sun Zhe, Lu Shuo walked to the queue with the test basket.

This time, the test basket was heavy, different from the previous times, and it was quite difficult to carry.

The township test is divided into three sessions, one held every three days, each with three days, and the admission time is August 8, August 11 and August 14 respectively.

Today's one is precisely the first of the township test.

Because it lasted three days, and he ate and slept in the examination hall, Lu Shuo had a lot of things to bring, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, dry food, charcoal, medicinal powder, wormwood, and door curtains...... These and so on, the Yuan family is well prepared, so Lu Shuo's test basket looks spectacular.

Soon it was Lu Shuo's turn.

He handed in his exam card, checked his identity, and after some searching, finally entered the waiting hall.

In the corner of the hall, Lu Shuo really saw Du Dingchen.

Like the previous times, this time Du Dingchen was still alone, sitting in a corner in silence, expressionless, and had no intention of communicating with others.

The matter of the government examination was too sensational, and many officials of the Ministry of Rites were dismissed from their posts, demoted, and the saints were angry, and the Jingshi was in an uproar, even though Du Dingchen was deliberately targeted, but he couldn't get rid of the fact that he didn't know what to hide.

Therefore, although many people did not say anything because of Du Dingchen's identity and Yue Ge Lao's authority, the stern inquiry and private pointing were obvious.

Lu Shuo found a place by himself and watched all this coldly.

Although Lu Shuo doesn't know much about Du Dingchen's personality, he also knows that compared to Cai Xingpei, he is much more upright.

It's just that integrity is upright, not to mention that the two of them don't have much friendship, even if they do, looking at Du Dingchen's appearance, it is clear that he doesn't want to stop everyone's attitude.

In Lu Shuo's opinion, this approach is extremely right.

Rumors can't be stopped, especially this kind of rumors, the stain on Du Dingchen's body can't be removed now, so instead of arguing with others and exploring and expanding things, it is better to be silent, there will always be a day when it will come down.

When Lu Shuo was thinking like this, there was a small official outside to call, this is a routine to worship the statue of Saint Kong.

Everyone followed the little officials out one after another, although it was raining lightly outside, but worshipping the saint seemed to be such a solemn and solemn thing, how dare everyone slack off.

Therefore, many students in green clothes gathered outside the venue, but none of them held umbrellas to avoid the rain.

Although it was raining, the ritual was just as much.

After all the worships were finished, Lu Shuo already had some dampness on his body, and his coiled hair was also wet, which was not a good sign.

Therefore, after the soldiers opened the number room, Lu Shuo used the oilcloth as the top to set it up, and hung it up, the first thing he did was to take out the charcoal, put it in the charcoal basin placed in the vent, and bake the wet clothes on the outside to dry it slightly, so that he felt comfortable and relieved.

Three days is not a short time, although the autumn rain is small, but it is also very cool, if you get typhoid fever in the examination room, it will not hinder others, at most you will get an illness, for Lu Shuo, it is a big deal.

After all, the strange problem he suffered from when he was sick has always been a hidden worry in his heart.

Soon, the sound of knocking on the cloud board outside sounded, and the large hourglass in the examination hall was erected, and the first township test in Lu Shuo's life finally officially began.

Each room is locked, and it will never be unlocked unless it is a reincarnation of grains and extraordinary things, which is the rule of the examination room, and Lu Shuo has long been familiar with it.

Soon, the sealed exam paper was thrown in by the scribe through the small window.

Lu Shuo counted the thick pile of exam papers, there were about 20 of them, and there were a total of fifteen exam questions, namely five books and four books, six books and five classics, two arithmetic, and two general theories.

The Daqi Township test has the practice of re-examining the first game, so Lu Shuo glanced at these questions and found that it was really not simple.

In this way, in this case, it is not only necessary to answer the questions well, but more importantly, to allocate time reasonably, and not to favor one over the other, so that the final time is not enough, and the questions behind are rushed, resulting in top-heavy chaos.

Thinking like this, Lu Shuo roughly allocated the time for the questions on the exam paper according to the degree of difficulty, and when everything was arranged in his heart, he began to write the name and do the questions.

The first is the title of the four books, taken from the Analects, entitled:

He asked, "If there is no way to kill, then there is a way, how can it be?"

He said, "The son wants to be good, and the people are good." The virtue of the gentleman, the virtue of the villain, and the wind on the grass will die. ”
