The transportation in the Western Han Dynasty was inconvenient, and Zhao Xingqingfeng and the two of them had been on the road for a day and had not yet walked out of Nanyang County. So in the evening they stayed at an inn in the county.

Zhao Xing thought about it and deliberately picked an inn called "Zhuangyuan Building".

At this time, the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to inheriting the local inspection system of the Han Dynasty, also borrowed the imperial examination and independent enrollment system informed by the people who traveled through the country, and the two were neutralized and derived from the imperial appointment system.

The emperor's appointment system, once every three years, all real citizens in the country can apply for the examination, and the top 100 in the examination are either sent to Taixue or prepared consultants; The top 10 participants in the countermeasures, and those who pass the pass are appointed to political affairs.

At this time, it was another recruitment three years later.

Jumping into the dragon gate, among the ministers, there are countless inns and inns opened for candidates in various parts of the Western Han Dynasty. In the past few decades, talented and beautiful women, white-clothed generals, and all kinds of romances among the scholars who went to the examination have been passed down as peerless stories.

If you want to come to this champion mansion, it must be a place where candidates gather.

Zhao Xing thought that if she wanted to enter the school as an official and participate in the emperor's appointment, she would definitely have to deal with these people.

One can listen to the strength of the other party.

Second, you can take advantage of the situation to touch the situation of the government and the opposition in the Western Han Dynasty today, and if you have self-interest, you may wish to choose a tree to live on if necessary. After all, if there is no "way" for officials, even if they can "pull out", they may not be able to "pull out". Guo Yunyi's official position is not big, and he can't rely on it a lot, and he is a friend of his father, if it is not necessary, he will not be dragged down.

Three, she also wants to find out the news of Zhang Gongzi from it.

In order to disguise her identity and for the sake of safety, Zhao Xing only needed a room, and still slept with Qingfeng, not avoiding the suspicion of men and women. Entering the room, Qingfeng was moving the pillow to the floor, and suddenly, Zhao Xing heard a burst of talking in the courtyard outside the house, and her heart moved, so she quietly opened the door and walked out.

There were already a lot of people standing in the courtyard, and there were still a few people sitting at the stone table, and for a while, there were more than a dozen candidates gathered in the courtyard. The crowd either talked about poetry and painting, or appreciated the rhythm of music, with a graceful demeanor and elegant manners. Zhao Xing listened quietly, and slowly heard them talk about the various characters in the court-

Liu Qu, the emperor's great reliance on power and leaning towards the government and the opposition, as well as Liu Wen, the king of Guangchuan Dai, Liu Ju, the crown prince, Shi Qing, the prime minister, Sun Hong, the left Feng Linggong, the right Fufeng Jidian, the general Wei Qing, and the half-brother of the general Huo Quai, Boluhou Huo Guang, the Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahou Po, Taiwei, Dafu, Taichang and so on......

These people are all characters who hold power and can stir up the situation in the court. Among them, which one is easy to approach and easy to deal with?

When he heard that Liu Qu, Taishi Liu, and Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin, Zhao Xing was slightly stunned and frowned slightly, didn't Liu Qu just succeed to the king of Guangchuan? Could it be that he was a master before his father died? However, how could my mighty and domineering Emperor Wu of Han let Liu go to that bt madness to tilt into the opposition?

In the history books, there is no record that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a very good personal relationship with this BT maniac! No, dragon impotence, right?!

Also, that Xiahou is quite ...... The man in Xuanyi once said that he was Xiahou Po's nephew. While thinking about it, I suddenly heard one of them say in surprise-

"Hey, Brother Man Qian, why are you here today?"

Another person on the side hurriedly asked, "This, is this Zhang Gongzi from Yici County?" ”

"Hehe, Ling Zun Zhang County was removed from his post and investigated, Brother Man Qian didn't stay in Yici County, why did he come here? You say, if the government investigates from time to time, what do you want to do to investigate and interrogate, will you chase it to this place? ”

Someone laughed, his tone full of ridicule and ridicule.

"I don't think so. Zhang Gongzi has always been proud of his talents, arrogant and self-proud, acting naturally different from ordinary people, he has always disdained poetry gatherings and the like on weekdays, for fear of tarnishing his wisdom, such a character, will he also be afraid of this secular official? ”

Then there was a person, tall and straight, with a sparse and handsome face, but between the words, the eyebrows and eyes deliberately provoked a touch of frivolity, and the words were even more prickly, hiding needles in the cotton.

This person's name is Sang Hongyang, and he is the son of the famous rich Sang family in Luoyang. The Sang family is the richest man in Luoyang, and Sang Hongyang himself is a legendary figure. When he was young, he was able to "schem" without using chips to calculate, and he was famous in Luoyang.

In terms of talent, this is not inferior to Zhang Manqian. It's just that Zhang Manqian has lived in Cixian County for a long time, and she is not good for literati and ink gatherings, so she has been passed on by word of mouth by everyone in the market, and it is spread to the gods, which is naturally better. Therefore, it is conceivable what Sang Hongyang felt in his heart.

Almost all of the remaining scholars agreed.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing's heart hurt and was angry, thinking that the things in her family had always affected Zhang Manqian, Zhang Manqian led Ping An to stand at the courtyard gate, lowering his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth were clearly raised when he entered the door, as if he remembered something very pleasant.

He has been quiet and self-disciplined since he was a child, eager to learn and prudent, and gets up early to read every day, and in addition to three meals a day, the biggest entertainment is nothing more than sitting in the courtyard and playing the piano and enjoying the scenery. He has very high requirements for himself, such as the subset of history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette, music, riding and archery, and the layout of the military formation. Therefore, after that, his literary name spread all over the county. It's just that he is too gentle and plain, and never participates in any literati gatherings, even if there are occasional classmates and students at home in the past, he politely refuses, thus falling into a proud reputation; There are few things in the family, and only the parents are in charge, such as the marriage contract with Zhao Xing...... Yang Cheng Zhaozhao often said that he was wise and beautiful, but he didn't have much style.

But Zhao Xing knew in his heart that he just didn't like these vulgarities.

If he's good, she knows it.

In the winter when she was ten years old, she was playing crazy with her friends by the stream, and fell into the river, when the friends on the side cried and feared or stopped moving forward or went back to rescue the soldiers, only he ignored the cold winter and the moon, and went into the water to rescue her, and since then she has fallen into the disease of osteitis, but she will see pain in the severe winter.

Her brother said that she had never seen a Zheng Zheng man, and she didn't know how good the iron bones were, but Zhang Manqian was already a star in the sky as far as she was concerned.

His temperament is too light, and over the years, she has made his life a mess, and I just hope that he can remember her well and slowly like her.

These people usually envy and hate him, how can they not take advantage of this to suppress him now?

"Zhang Gongzi is just burdened by the Yang Cheng family, once it is found out, the government will definitely return the Zhang family's innocence, everyone knows each other, how can they be light?"

At this time, Jiang Yu and the other two scholars, who saw Zhang Manqian coming in first, couldn't help but say a few words of maintenance for him. Sang Hongyang smiled when he heard this, "It's an acquaintance, and when the official family wants to want the old party in the future, it will be one of the party henchmen." ”

Jiang Yu and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they were embarrassed for a while, and it was difficult to answer.

When Zhao Xing heard this, he couldn't wait to rush out immediately and beat Sang Hongyang and the seven or eight scholars around him, but he could only grit his teeth and still stand in the dark place of the pillar.

It's not as good as having met before, she and him, I'm afraid that they will be strangers from now on.

The protector of peace was anxious, and he was about to step forward as soon as he clenched his fist, Zhang Manqian stretched out his hand to stop him, raised his head and said softly, "You are worried, Manqian is ashamed." It's just that the brothers in the government don't have to worry about Man Qian, if the official comes to arrest him, Man Qian will explain the purpose of this trip to him, and he should be safe. ”

Everyone was stunned, Jiang Yu was suspicious, and immediately asked, "Brother Man Qian is here in Nanyang County?" ”
