Chapter 282 Official Persimmon's Counterattack 1

Time is like well water every day, and people are not aware of the passage of well water at all, just as the southeast at this moment has entered the spring time of the eighteenth year of Annan in a blink of an eye. This year's Spring Festival has been postponed for two years, and a large number of scholars are gearing up to get a score in this subject and enter the official career. Of course, there is competition and there is a bet, in the eyes of the people in the capital, the most likely to become the champion this year is nothing more than a few people, the three representatives of the southeast, Guan Chunge, Murong Ye, Zeng Shen, the representative of the north, Xu Guangqi, the representative of the southwest, Liu Zhixin. Even the previous imperial examination examiners praised these five people, and some even put down their words, saying that this year's champion must be produced among these five people.

There is nothing to say about the talent and fame of these five people, each of them is outstanding, but Liu Zhixin, Xu Guangqi and others have long been rooted in the capital. However, Murong Ye and Zeng Shen are not vegetarians, and they have also made a good reputation in just half a year, so the odds of winning these two are second only to Liu Xu and the others. As for Chunge, this guy who should have been a good guy for a long time, but he pretended to be a snail, except for the image of the Yuhe poetry meeting when he first came, the rest of the time basically reached the point of staying at home. He is also a thorough nerd person, so his approval rating is surprisingly low.

But this does not affect Chunge's image among scholars, who made Chunge a very beautiful jade by nature, people just like beautiful things, plus Chunge has poems and books in his belly, whenever someone asks about it, it is all understandable, and Chunge treats people kindly and teaches people like a breeze, and the candidates are also willing to talk to Chunge. According to this, Chunge is also popular among candidates. It's a pity that these students naively feel that Chunge's temperament is too weak, although they respect Chunge's talent, but they also look down on Chunge's temperament.

How could a person like Chunge not know the actual attitude of the students, but he didn't care about it. Because he knows that this is the capital, and the water of this pool is unfathomable. If he had become a top-notch man at this time, he would have become the target of public criticism in a blink of an eye. Besides, this side is not the southeast, and in the southeast Chunge, there is an official and a second uncle who dares to provoke him, and he can walk sideways. But in Kyoto, even if he has a relationship with Su Jianyu. can't act arbitrarily, not to mention that the relationship between Su Jianyu and his master and apprentice cannot be exposed. He couldn't make trouble for his master, so he chose An An to conduct a scientific expedition.

Anyway, no matter what, the days passed like this, Chun Ge finally ushered in the spring season, dragging the heavy examination box Chun Ge and Murong Zeng Shen walked into the examination room together. The spring festival is also known as the examination, which lasts for nine days, namely the 9th, 12th, and 15th days of the second lunar month. Three sessions, each lasting three days, so someone told a joke. It is said that if you try to walk, you will lose half of the flesh, which shows how grinding the trial is in the nine-day time.

Chun Ge and others are waiting for the temporary inspection at this time, the so-called temporary inspection is a process set up to prevent candidates from cheating, because it is a big examination of the imperial court, so the people who come to check are not ordinary people, they are all personal guards around the emperor. The efficiency of the guards is extremely high, basically no one can escape their eyes, and soon it will be Chunge's turn to inspect, but when Chunge arrives, Chunge obviously feels the looseness of the inspectors, and even this person has not touched him. But then again, Anu is the mainstay of the guard, and the thirteenth and others are also the elites of the guard, so with such a relationship, how can these little guards dare to really search Chunge's body.

After passing the inspection, Chun Ge separated from Murong and the others, and found his own examination room, and the nine-day exam began. Chun Ge is like himself in the early autumn, step by step to look at the problem and solve the problem, this year's topic is not new, it is estimated that it is with the big flow, Chun Ge is to grasp the small point, to combine theory with facts, very smoothly pinched a text, the rest of the poems are not difficult. But how can there be such a concept as time to start the question, five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and on the sixth day, Chunge completed this relatively easy scientific examination ahead of schedule.

Looking at his closed test paper, Chun Ge still sighed, knowledge is really not too much, if he hasn't studied quietly in the past few years, even if he has a hundred beautiful articles in his head, it will not be smooth after all, where will there be today's speed and calmness.

I don't know why on the eighth day, there is some noise outside the examination room, it stands to reason that the imperial examination is a major event today, who dares to shout outside the examination room, but no one can go out to see, because there is Su Mingwen's regulations, whether it is a candidate or an examiner during the scientific examination, as long as the person in the examination room is not finished, he cannot take half a step in the examination room, and the violator can be punished with beheading. No one dared to go out, but the noise became louder and louder, those who finished the exam gritted their teeth and endured it, and those who didn't finish the exam were eager to pick up the bricks and shoot them to death, and the officials were glad that it would be over tomorrow anyway, and if they endured it again, they would succeed.

Sure enough, with the patience of everyone, the ninth day was delayed, and finally everyone looked forward to the door of the examination room slowly opening, but what everyone saw was an extremely depressed street, and there were even people fleeing in panic on the street. The candidates wanted to find someone to ask, but a eunuch came running from a corner with a carriage, shouting straight in his mouth, the holy decree has arrived, the holy decree has arrived.

In the empty street, only this shout was particularly harsh, and everyone knelt down, and the invigilator took the lead to greet the order.

"The Holy Lord's edict ordered the southeast patrol to immediately go to the city gate to see the driver."

This eunuch is an old man in the palace, because he is the most cautious, the emperor also specially gave him the surname of the country, known as Gonggong Su. Chun Ge is also familiar with this Su Gonggong, what he didn't expect was that Su Jianyu would let Su Gonggong openly look for him in public, presumably he encountered an urgent matter at that time.

Chun Ge is not out of the queue at this time, everyone, look at me, I will look at you, who is the patrol of the southeast, their examiners here are all authentic Beijing officials, and the big guy is inevitably a little confused after such a physically and mentally tortured exam.

Seeing Chun Ge stunned in place, Gonggong Su hurriedly said, "Lord Guan, you don't hurry up." ”

Chun Ge got up in the crowd at this time, and Anu was already behind Grandpa Su, holding Chun Ge's special five-grade official uniform. He took a few steps to take the official uniform from Anu, and before he had time to change his clothes, he put it on his body directly, put on his official hat, changed into official boots, and sorted out his clothes as he walked.

Father-in-law Su whispered a few more words in Chunge's ear, and a crack finally appeared on Chunge's cold face, he was going to take a carriage, without saying a word, he picked up the horse rope on the side, turned over neatly, and disappeared from people's sight gorgeously in an instant. Anu also rode a horse and galloped away with Chunge, leaving only Gonggong Su alone.

Seeing that Chunge was leaving in a hurry, the examiners hurriedly stepped forward and politely asked what was important. Gonggong Su didn't say anything specifically, but told everyone that Jingshi was in danger, and then hurriedly got into the carriage and ran towards the city gate.

At the entrance of the examination hall, there were a bunch of people left who were very eye-catching, and everyone could not have dreamed that they had only taken the test for nine days, how could the capital be in danger. What surprised everyone even more was that Chun Ge, who participated in the exam with them, turned out to be an official of the fifth grade, of course, they didn't know that Chun Ge was an official of the sixth grade, but it was just a five-rank official uniform by Su Jianyu. Anyway, all in all, Chunge's image is instantly taller, and all kinds of envy overflow from the eyes of the candidates, people say that they work hard to take the imperial examination is the best is a six-grade official, and even if Chunge is not selected, he is still a fifth-grade official, the gap.

"What are you doing in a daze, Father-in-law Su said that the situation is critical now, and if you can't help, don't make a mess." It was the chief examiner who spoke this time, this person had a bit of courage, looking at the shift in the focus of this group of unsuccessful candidates, he suddenly came back, he didn't have time to pay attention to these bear children at this time, discussed with the other examiners, and decided to go to the city gate to have a look.

The candidates were a little more awake when they were reprimanded like this, and when they learned that the examiner was going to the city gate, they also rushed to go, saying that they wanted to do their part for the country. The examiners didn't want to bring this group of oil bottles, but they knew that the candidates were intent on competing with Chunge, thinking about what was the reason why a weak person on weekdays rode a horse and left in a mess.

So when this group of people arrived at the city gate, they frightened the soldiers guarding the city gate. And this group of people was also frightened by this scene. Where is the city gate here, it is simply a temporary military camp, there are many tents under the city tower, among which there is one of the most noble, presumably the emperor lives. Is this situation serious to the point of the imperial conquest, although the emperor lives in the capital. Before they could react, they saw a familiar figure ascend the tower, and another middle-aged man in golden armor was escorted down the tower. They hurriedly learned to kneel down, because it was the current emperor Su Jianyu who came down, and it was naturally the southeast patrol who was hurriedly called by the emperor to press Chunge.

It is said that Chunge, a six-grade petty official, can casually bring out a lot of people in the capital, why can he go up to the city tower to replace the emperor. This has to start with the siege of the capital five days ago. The weather was fine that day, and the capital was still a prosperous capital, but at night, a team from somewhere came from surrounded Kyoto. Su Jianyu learned late at night that he immediately gathered all the horses in the city, who knew that those people were only besieging and not attacking, as if they were waiting for someone to come, Su Jianyu originally planned to strike first, but who knew that the leading figure came today, and asked to talk to Chunge. This is the scene before the entrance examination.

The enemy who came did not report his name, but Su Jianyu knew that these soldiers were all soldiers of Beiyi, and Chunge was even more puzzled, he didn't offend Beiyi, why did people name him to see him.

Chunge's doubts finally understood the moment he ascended the tower, the moment he saw the people coming below. He stood quietly on the tower and looked down at that person, how familiar this scene was, it was almost comparable to the battle of the dry city many years ago, except that he was the superior side at the beginning, but now he is the inferior side.

And the people on the field are not strangers, they are Mr. Baisuan who escaped during the First World War in Dry City, Fang Zongyi.
