When I participated in the county test to show talents, the weather was also so good.

Yang Muyun returned to the room, and Minyu had already gotten up, made breakfast for him and boiled the medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Muyun gave her a grateful glance.

"I didn't let you rest well before the exam." Minyu had an apologetic look on her face.

"Hmm......" Yang Muyun smiled reassuringly, "I am a person who practices martial arts, and I don't necessarily have to lie down to sleep." ”

......

After everything was ready, Yang Muyun changed into the light blue Confucian shirt for Xiucai, which was personally awarded to him by Chen Shiyao, the prefect of Huzhou, he rarely wore it out, but today he must wear it properly.

When Minyu accompanied him out of the door, Ning Zuer and Zhu Zhiqing were already standing in the courtyard.

"You ......," Yang Muyun was a little surprised.

"Brother Yang's big exam, how can this son ignore it." Ning Zuer said with a smile. "Send you a ride, talk about your heart."

"Xiucai Gong, I wish you a good pen, and the title of the gold list." Zhu Zhiqing said with a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you both." Yang Muyun waved his hand, his eyes turned to the house on the left, it was quiet inside, although Leng Yifei did not come out, Yang Muyun knew that no matter where he went, Leng Yifei would secretly guard him.

There was a long queue in front of the Gongyuan early, and many people waited at the gate of the Gongyuan before dawn. The so-called "no one asks about the cold window for ten years, and the world knows it in one fell swoop", this is a key step for the reading mermaid to jump into the dragon gate, and if you jump into the past, you can change the fate of yourself and your family, and naturally no one dares to take it lightly.

The examiner guarded the gate of the Gongyuan with heavily armed soldiers, with a solemn face as if he was facing a great enemy. For the imperial court, this is also a key step in the selection of scholars, because once you become a lifter, you have the qualifications to be an official, and the imperial court naturally cannot but pay attention to it.

Those who enter the tribute court must first be searched, and the imperial court strictly prohibits fraud in the field, so each person is searched very carefully.

"Let's go!" A soldier carefully searched the body of a man and what he was carrying, and waved his hand, ready to let him pass.

"Stop!" A small official in charge of the search glanced at him with a sharp gaze, "Open your mouth!" ”

"My lord......" Juzi, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately became nervous again, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "Didn't you just finish the check?" ”

"Open your mouth!" The voice of the clerk was raised an octave again.

The lifter had to open his mouth tremblingly.

The little official took a pair of thin-mouthed pliers and probed into his mouth, and with a slight force in his hand, he pinched out a large gold tooth.

"Hmph" The little official sneered, picked it with a needle, and actually picked out a roll of fine silk, unfolded it, and wrote it full of fly-headed small letters.

"My lord," the man wailed, and "plopped" knelt on the ground, trembling like chaff.

"Take it down, show it to the public!" The little official shouted, and immediately two soldiers came up and put the lift down.

“......”

Seeing this scene, everyone in the back gasped, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

"A couple of adults are coming." I don't know who said it, and people craned their necks to look......

I saw Yu Qian walking in the front wearing a big red official uniform, and Nian Fu, Liang Wenbing, Gu Huayun, Sun Qinghai and some unknown officials came to stand in front of the Gongyuan behind him.

The official in charge of the search at the door hurriedly stepped forward to see, and Yu Qian waved his hand and motioned for them to continue.

There was a sound of head-to-head in the middle of the queue.

A group of superiors came to inspect the work, and the officials and soldiers who searched for the whistleblower were more energetic.

It didn't take much effort, and many of the people who were ready to secretly cross Chen Cang were folded in front of them: some found notes in the steamed buns, some found rolled up cheat sheets in the pen tube, and some carried a pocket version of the "Four Books Dictionary Cang", the whole book was only the size of the palm of the hand, and the font was written by a rat's whisker specially made of rat whiskers, which required a lot of good eyes and strength......

Another man was even more bizarre, he was about to let him go after the inspection, but an official smelled too much salt on his body and stopped him, took off his underwear and baked it under the lit candle, densely

The handwriting is revealed: "University" on the chest, "The Mean" on the back, and "The Analects" on the sleeve......

"It's really talented," Yang Muyun sighed sincerely, "What else does this brother do you want to take the exam, and you can go directly to the Jinyi Wei exam." ”

"Do you want him to be like you?" Ning Zu'er looked at him with strange eyes, "Do you have any secret organs with you?" As he spoke, he glanced at the candidates who knelt down in front of the Gongyuan and "took the lead before leaving the school".

"Do I have that must?" Yang Muyun glared at Ning Zu'er, "They did that to be an official, and I am already an official, do you still have to cheat for a famous person?" ”

"Yes, it seems that I underestimated you." Ning Zuer pursed her lips and smiled, "People are promoted to be officials, and you are to be an official for the purpose of being promoted." ”

"You...... Is this a compliment to me? Yang Muyun glanced at him.

"Ahem...... Ahem......" One of the examinees behind him suddenly coughed violently.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yang Muyun frowned and asked.

The candidate didn't speak, but coughed more and more violently, "vomiting" He coughed so red that he actually retched.

"Poof" a white, round thing was vomited out by him. He was startled and suddenly fainted to the ground.

"Someone fainted." I don't know who shouted beside Yang Muyun. Immediately, a few soldiers came.

"What's going on?" A small officer shouted. His eyes swept over the surrounding candidates.

"He ......," one of the examinees pointed to the man who had fainted on the ground, "and somehow fainted." ”

"Fainted?" The little officer looked up at the sun, the light was not dazzling, and frowned at the fainted man, who was beside him with a white round thing. He didn't feel dirty, so he reached out and picked it up, and it was actually a wax pill. He crushed the wax pill, revealing a mass of paper with fly-headed letters written on it.

"Take him away, splash him awake with cold water, and show him to the public with a flail." The little officer sneered and waved his hand. Immediately, two soldiers came up behind him and lifted him up and dragged him over.

......

"I didn't expect that the science field would have such magic power, so many people would dig out their minds to take risks." After seeing this scene, Ning Zuer couldn't help but sigh.

"For the sake of a lifetime of glory and wealth, this risk is worth taking." Yang Muyun was not surprised.

"Young Master Yang, how many days are you going to take the exam inside?" Minyu looked at the long line of candidates and asked with some concern.

"Three days," Yang Muyun said very calmly, "I will be able to hand in the papers when the day after tomorrow." ”

"Three days?" Minyu's eyes widened in surprise, "Then what about the medicine that His Highness asked Gongzi to drink?" ”

"This ......" Yang Muyun touched his nose, "It's not in the way if you don't drink for a few days, right?" ”

"How can this be?" Minyu couldn't help but hurriedly said, "The Third Highness said that this medicine cannot be interrupted...... Don't you even want your body for the sake of the exam? ”

"Minyu," Zhu Zhiqing said beside her, "Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to send medicine to Yang Gongzi," his eyes swept over Yang Muyun, "Minyu has been with me for so many years, and I have never cared so much about a person," there was a hint of banter on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were staring at Yang Muyun, "She treats you like this, you can't let her down." ”

"Thank you to the county lord, thank you to Miss Minyu." Yang Muyun respectfully waved at them, turned around and pulled Ning Zu'er to the side a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Ning Gongzi, after I go in, Miss Minyu will ask you to take care of it, boiling medicine and delivering medicine, it is not easy to travel back and forth, don't let her go back to the palace these days." You rent a place nearby to settle her, and when I finish the exam the day after tomorrow, I'll go back with her. ”

Ning Zu'er saw that he was solemn, so he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what you entrusted." Speaking of this, I didn't forget to joke: "Your confidante, when have I ever neglected it." ”

"You ......" Yang Muyun couldn't help but be anxious and angry when he heard this, and he was about to say a few more words. I saw that the little official who searched for the whistleblower had just sent a candidate over, and he shouted loudly: "Next"

"Is it my turn?" Seeing that there was no one in front of him, Yang Muyun saved his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the examination card.

The little official glanced at it, "Yang Muyun? The arrogant look on his face immediately turned to consternation, and his squinted eyes suddenly became as big as copper bells, "Slowly" He waved his hand to stop the two

The soldier who stepped forward to search for it looked at the faces of the adults standing not far away......

Yu Qian bowed slightly to him, and the eyes of the other adults were also quite kind. He immediately calmed down, put on a flattering smile and came to Yang Muyun's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My lord, this is your number plate, the number room is in the innermost, spacious and comfortable, and it is not easy for people to see, you can rest assured that you can answer the question." As he spoke, he beckoned to a soldier not far away, and the soldier hurriedly came over quietly.

"This son...... Well...... Suddenly feeling unwell and can't walk alone, you help him to his room, be careful, don't be lazy. The little official commanded in a tone.

The soldier felt very good, and immediately understood what he meant, and stepped forward with a smile: "Childe, I will help you, but you must go." ”

"No," Yang Muyun shrank his cuffs, "You lead the way." ”

"Delle, Childe, please come with me." As he spoke, he walked in unhurriedly.

When Yang Muyun's figure disappeared, the little official ignored the whispering voices around him, coughed heavily, put on a majestic appearance again, and said in a deep voice: "Next"

"No. 2," Yang Muyun looked at the number plate and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "There are so many people in front, why did it come to me that it was still No. 2?" ”

"Childe, it's here." The soldier who led the way in front turned around and smiled at Yang Muyun.

Yang Muyun looked at it, there was a room twice as large as the other rooms in a corner of the courtyard wall of the Gongyuan, the front door was completely open, and the inside could be seen from the outside, a spacious bed was neatly laid, and a desk at the door almost blocked the door. There is a toilet in the corner on the right-hand side, but there is nothing else.

"Childe, if you still need anything, please do not hesitate to ask, as long as the small one can do it, you are satisfied."

"No need, you can go back." Yang Muyun threw him a piece of silver.

The soldier hurriedly caught it, and his face seemed to bloom with a smile, "Childe," he looked at no one around, and whispered in Yang Muyun's ear: "There is just a tree on the left side of this house that obscures the view, and you can't see it from the wooden building, and the patrolling people won't come here, so Childe just rest assured that he will answer the question." With that, he hung his head and went away.

"What do you mean, when Yang is a mallet who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, like those who wear flails, he will only plagiarize?" Yang Muyun snorted, threw the package on the couch, and lay down on his back.

"This room is much more spacious and comfortable than the others, and it must have been specially prepared for some people from special backgrounds," he stared at the ceiling, "this is No. 2, I don't know where No. 1 is?" And for whom? Thinking of this, he jumped to his feet and looked out.

There is also a room in the corner opposite, about the same size as his own, and the room is empty, "This must be room No. 1, I don't know what kind of person will go there." ”

As he was thinking, he saw a soldier lead a young scribe with a tall figure to the room, and the soldier said a few words, and then turned back.

The slender young scribe placed the package on the table and turned slowly.

"Is that him?" Yang Muyun's heart was slightly shocked, the bridge of the man's nose was high, his eyes were black and bright, and his eyebrows were wild and uninhibited, it was actually the madman Zhou Zi who he met when he signed up in front of the government that day, his long hair was pulled up with an ink hosta, and he was still wearing the blue deep coat.

At this time, Zhou Zi also saw him, his dark eyes were even brighter, and there was a smile on his face.

Yang Muyun also smiled at him and waved his hand at him.

After all the candidates sat in their rooms, they only heard a drum sound, and the test papers began to be distributed to one by one, and the Gongyuan suddenly fell silent. Yang Muyun picked up the test paper and unfolded it, there were ten scriptures, five sparse, five annotations, and a policy treatise. There is no problem with answering the previous questions for Yang Muyun, who has read poetry and books, but this policy is very fresh, and the title is: On the solid edge of today's Ming Dynasty.

Yang Muyun's heartstrings moved after seeing it, and the main point of the strategy was how to consolidate the border defense of the Ming Dynasty. This must be out of the emperor's intention, to gather the wisdom of the world's scholars to discuss a border defense strategy in line with the Ming Dynasty.
