Volume 1 The Wind and Rain Enters Lin'an Chapter 76 Privileges
As an official spoke loudly, a group of students began to commotion and began to line up to enter the venue. For a while, the sound of farewells, blessings, and the shouts of the officers and soldiers rang out into a commotion.
"Brother Zi'an, let's go, let's line up too. Get in early, settle down early. Get a good night's sleep tonight and show off your skills tomorrow. Qian Kang rubbed his hands and said.
Fang Zi'an nodded in response, turned his head and said to Chunni, "Chunni, go back." I've got to queue up to get in. ”
Chunni said, "I'll wait for you to go in before leaving." ”
Fang Zi'an smiled: "Then why bother, I don't know when I can enter the venue." You've been out for too long, and your dad is going crazy in the shop. ”
Chunni thought about it and felt that it was also, the things in the shop were basically arranged by Chunni now, and after she had been away for a long time, her father would definitely be in a hurry. Without himself in the kitchen, it is difficult for Liu Er to hold on alone, and she is not sure what the chaos will become. At that moment, I had to nod and say: "Then I'll go, don't put too much pressure on you, it's best if you win, and it's not a big deal if you don't win." It won't be like a good life. Three days later, Chunni will come to pick you up and take you home. ”
Fang Zi'an smiled and squeezed her hand and nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road, hire a car, don't walk back to save money, the road is still far away." ”
Chunni nodded in response, said goodbye to Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin, turned around and left step by step. Fang Zi'an, Qian Kang, and Zhao Changlin carried the cage, merged into the crowd in front of them, and lined up in the queue for entry.
The inspection of admission is very strict, and the imperial examination system of the Great Song Dynasty has been very perfect and strict, although it cannot completely eliminate fraud, but at least it has done what it should have done in form. These methods greatly reduce the possibility of fraud, and the inspection at the entrance is also strict and meticulous to the point of outrageousness. Students who enter the venue with number plates must not only go through strict identity checks, but also all the bedding, clothes and even snacks they carry must be dismantled and cut open for inspection. From time to time, some people were dragged away by officers and soldiers because they were suspected of not matching the identity on the identity number plate. One of them stayed up late last night, and as a result, his beard grew a little longer, which did not match the characteristics of the 'slight hair' on the number plate, so he was directly dragged aside and interrogated, and he almost got his mouth when arguing.
Such a detailed inspection led to an extremely slow entry speed, and thousands of students under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Mansion did not know when they would be able to enter the venue.
Fang Zi'an and the other three slowly moved forward with the team patiently, but fortunately, the three of them could talk about it, and it was not so boring. Interestingly, from time to time, sneaky people creep through the queues of students, whispering high prices for so-called 'latest leaked exam questions'. Fang Zi'an and others naturally didn't believe it, but some students were eager and would rather spend money to buy peace of mind than miss any faint opportunities.
And so two hours passed. The sun has already tilted in the west, and Fang Zi'an and the others have also moved a few turns, and victory is in sight. Looking at the flow of people in the rear team, it must not be possible to enter the field before dark, at least it will be over until the first shift.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves on the south side of the square, which was already a little empty, trotted over and stopped in the clearing. A richly dressed young man jumped off his horse and marched towards the entrance of the Tribute Courtyard, surrounded by a group of fierce guards. Several big men shouted loudly in front, pushing the students in line in front of them to stagger. The officials and officers and soldiers in charge of the inspection in front of the Gongyuan not only did not stop them, but the two officials stepped forward with a smile and bowed down to greet each other.
"Who is this person, is he a student who participated in the Autumn Festival? How can I not queue up? Some students shouted dissatisfied.
"Don't you even know him? Today's grandson of Qin Xiangye, Qin Tan, the fifth son of Qin. This year, I will also participate in the autumn festival with us. Someone next to him replied in a low voice.
"Ahh It's Qin Hui's grandson, no wonder so. The questioning student stopped talking.
Qian Kang couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "Qin Xiangye's grandson? So what? Since he came to take the autumn exam, he should go to the queue like everyone else. Everyone had been queuing for a long time, so why could he go in directly? It's not fair. ”
Zhao Changlin hurriedly said: "Brother Qian, forget it, it's better not to worry about this kind of thing." We can't take care of it. ”
Qian Kang glared at him and said, "What are these words?" It's just that we can't see the dark things in the shadows, but we can't turn a blind eye to the unfairness under our noses? So what's the use of taking this imperial examination? ”
Zhao Changlin smacked his lips and looked at Fang Zi'an and said, "Brother Zi'an, you persuade Brother Qian, this bull's temper has come up again." ”
Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "What Brother Qian said is right, what about Qin Hui's grandson?" So many of us are following the rules, why doesn't he follow them? Do you also have privileges in such a major event as the imperial examination? It's too blatant. In that case, we don't have to follow the rules, two, follow me. ”
Zhao Changlin was stunned, and Qian Kang picked up his big finger and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Zi'an I know." ”
Fang Zi'an didn't speak, put the cage on his shoulders and left the ranks of the team and walked towards the entrance of the Gongyuan. Qian Kang also carried the cage to follow. Zhao Changlin stomped his feet and hurriedly followed behind the two.
Fang Zi'an walked twenty or thirty steps to the gate of the Gongyuan, and a miscellaneous servant noticed something unusual and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"We are candidates for Qiuqiu, and we are going to take the big exam in the Tribute Academy. What's wrong? Fang Zi'an said with a smile.
"Go, go, line up. Don't know the rules? What's the mess? The handyman frowned and waved his hand.
Fang Zi'an smiled: "Do you still have to queue up?" Then why didn't the guy in front of him line up? He doesn't line up, so why should we line up? Are the rules just for us? ”
"Hey! Are you deliberately making trouble? Do you compare yourself to others? Who do you say he is? Today's grandson of Qin Xiangye, known as Qin Tan, the fifth son of Qin. Do you compare yourself to him? The handyman shouted.
"It doesn't matter whose grandson he is, since he is here to take the autumn exam, he should go to the queue like everyone else. Why is it special? If he doesn't line up, it means that the rules are empty, so we can also skip the line. Qian Kang said loudly.
"Hey, deliberately finding fault, huh? The three of you are going to make trouble, aren't you? The handyman said angrily.
Fang Zi'an sneered: "We didn't make trouble, we are well-behaved candidates, and we have already been queuing for a long time." You set the rules yourself, and you broke the rules yourself, so you can't blame us. Unless you find someone to admit to us, your previous rules were only for us ordinary students, and to take special care of Qin Xiang's grandson. With so many people in their eyes, it is good to be a witness. Let's go back and preach it. ”
The two handymen glanced at each other, and one of them said viciously: "Okay, good, let's talk about you, someone can cure you." ”
After that, a handyman ran to the entrance, nodded at the entrance, and said something to the two officials who were courteous to Qin Wugongzi. The two officials turned their heads to look over with gloomy faces, and the fifth prince of Qin also looked over over here.
"Three brothers, don't feel uncomfortable, let's go quickly. Qin Wugongzi is not easy to mess with, he wants to go in first, so he just lets him in. Don't mess it up. ”
"Yes, the courage of the three is commendable, but don't touch the stones with eggs. Let's go. ”
The students queuing up next to them kindly persuaded Fang Zi'an and the three of them, and most of them thought that these three people had the guts, but they didn't have to cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhao Changlin looked at Fang Zi'an a little nervously, but when he saw Fang Zi'an's indifferent appearance, he was a little drumming in his heart, but he was also difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
The two officials recruited a few officers and soldiers to come over here, and the fifth prince of Qin also followed with a folding fan, as if he wanted to see the excitement. The surrounding students were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and they all secretly sweated for Fang Zi'an and the others.
"You three, are you going to make trouble? Someone came, took it, and took it aside to await trial. The group approached, and without saying a word, an official gave a loud order.
The officers and soldiers rushed forward and made a gesture to take people, and Fang Zi'an shouted: "Who dares! Lang Lang Qiankun, my Great Song Dynasty has a royal law. The three of us didn't kill anyone, and the other didn't prevent fire, so this adult took it when he opened his mouth, what basis did he have? Could it be that there is no king's law? ”
A tall and thin official shouted coldly: "Just because the three of you are making trouble here and disrupting the order of the Autumn Examination, you should take it." You still feel wronged. ”
Fang Zi'an sneered: "Why are the three of us making trouble? The three of us are all reference students, the procedures are readily available, and the qualifications can also be examined, where is there trouble? ”
"Bold, since you are a reference student, why don't you line up according to the rules, but what do you squeeze forward? Didn't you hear the rules that were announced? The official shouted.
Qian Kang said loudly: "We heard the rules, and we have been lining up according to the rules, but someone cut the line and broke the rules." But you have not hindered you. That means that this rule is not a rule, and the three of us don't have to follow this rule, is this wrong? ”
"Presumptuous, you are you, what are you doing to climb others? What do other people's affairs have to do with you? You guys just want to make trouble. The official shouted.
Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "It's just a privilege, I heard that this one is Qin Xiang's grandson, Qin Wugongzi, you just opened the door to convenience, and you didn't hesitate to break the rules." Students who are also taking the exam should be treated equally. The little thing of admission is special, how can people believe that the autumn exam is fair? The imperial examination is a means of fair selection, and the emphasis is on the word 'fairness'. You are doing this against the original intention of the imperial court, are you not afraid of the imperial court's investigation? ”
The two officials froze, they didn't expect this student to be so bold, they thought that they would be scared and scared, but they didn't expect that they were not only not afraid, but also-for-tat. It's hard to refute what this guy said.
"Hahahaha. What must I do? It turned out that I was squeezing me, and seeing that I could get in, but you had to line up, I was a little unconvinced, right? Qin Wugongzi, who was standing on the side, laughed out loud and said loudly.
