Chapter 160: Autumn Dawn One

On the ninth day of the eighth month of the Great Dragon Calendar, it is finally the day of the triennial imperial examination.

On this day, Jinling City was full of scholars from various states and counties who came to take the exam, and the inns in Jinling City were full.

A number of restaurants and inns have also opened gambling tables according to previous customs.

The shouts were endless: "Dangyang Academy Song Yi Gongzi High School is the first name Xie Yuan, one to ten, how many people bet?" ”

Song Yi is a student in Class A of Dangyang Academy and a famous talent in Jinling. When he heard that the innkeeper had started to bet, a group of people rushed up and pressed the silver in their hands on the gambling plate in Song Yi's name.

"The head of the Yan Shi Ancient Nursing Academy's C-character class Yan Huai'an Gongzi High School Xie Yuan, one to five, began to bet."

"Song Bingge of Yishan Academy"

Not only a restaurant inn is like this, all the inns are like this, even the gambling houses in Jinling City have begun to gamble, compared to the restaurant, the gambling house bets are much larger, one hundred taels of silver starts, here is mostly the place where the children of rich families come to leisure.

"Young master, young master, should we also place a few bets? You said that we bet on who can be the first in high school? Liu Song followed Liu Dashao's side, watching the congested crowd and eager to try.

Liu Mingzhi smiled indifferently: "Do you think whoever can go to high school will go down, just play and don't take it too seriously, be careful that your wife has lost everything." ”

Hearing the young master say this, Liu Song also hesitated, and looked at the silver piled up on the table in the crowd, so he put a silver ingot on it, and then someone recorded the amount.

Liu Song came out with a fine sweat: "Young master, the small ones are pressed on Song Yi, Lin Yangming, and Li Peichao with ten taels of silver each." ”

"Okay, you Liu Song, is it good that this young master is going to participate in the imperial examination, you don't press on others and on the young master, and all this month's salary will be deducted."

Liu Song looked aggrieved, and looked at Liu Dashao pitifully: "Young master, it's not that the small one doesn't suppress you, but there is no one with your name on the bet, and the small one can't do anything about it." ”

"Why don't you have Young Master Ben's name? Can't this young master pass the first place Xie Yuan? Niang Xipi, look down on this young master. ”

"Young master, it's almost enough, what level are you at yourself" Don't you have a little pressure in your heart?

"What's wrong with the young master himself? You say? Hit Liu Song's head twice with a fan, and Liu Dashao roared, do you say that I don't want to lose face?

Liu Dashao seemed to be full of indifference, and his heart was also secretly abrupt, a little uneasy, he had experienced a series of exams in the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, but he had never experienced such a battle as the imperial examination.

If you want to say that you haven't seen it, it's not like you, there have been many TV dramas about the imperial examination in later generations, the key is to watch it, to experience it personally, how can it be the same?

"Husband, if you are a high school person, the concubine will serve you well, if you are unsuccessful, the concubine will serve you well, and the husband will come on!"

"Boy, the old man has prepared two meals for you to come back, a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots, what you eat depends on your ability, the old man is optimistic about you."

Thinking of what Qi Yun said to the old man before going out, Liu Dashao was excited, and he faintly felt that his limbs were a little weak and his buttocks were a little sore.

"Loose!"

"Young Master?"

"Holding the young master for a while, the young master is a little uncomfortable."

"Young master, you can't be joking, you're about to arrive at the exam room, and you're not feeling well and delaying Qiu Yu will be over."

"Song, the young master doesn't want to take the test."

"Young master, don't scare me."

"Do you have to go?"

"The master has ordered, and the young master must be carried to the examination room, young master, look there, the master has already arranged seven subordinates to serve, I am afraid that the young master will suddenly regret it."

Liu Dashao turned his stiff neck to look, and the seven subordinates grinned respectfully: "Hello, young master." ”

"For the people, you guys, you've worked hard."

Liu Song drove the young master's arm and walked forward: "Young master, accept your fate, early pain is better than late pain." ”

Inside the Gongyuan, several officials dressed in vermilion costumes were mediating with each other, each smiling and complimenting each other.

Zhao Fengshou, a member of the Ministry of Officials, was one of the chief examiners sent by the capital to Jinling, and the capital of each prefecture would send an official to the local overseer.

The imperial examination is related to the foundation of the imperial court, and officials are all recruited from the central government, first, the ministry is in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials, and second, it is to prevent local officials from favoritism and take care of students close to the local government.

In the past, two examiners were dispatched from the capital for imperial examinations, but this year's Jinling Qiufu was different, there was actually a local official who served as one of the main exams, Zhao Fengshou was very curious about the assassin Shi Qi Run, why did His Majesty break the traditional rules, aren't you afraid that Qi Tingshi will bend the law for personal gain?

Although Li Zheng said that Qi Run would be one of the chief examiners, he did not necessarily fully believe in the local officials, although only one official from the capital was sent as the chief examiner, but the accompanying officials increased by one, although they did not have the right to participate in the relevant matters of the Autumn Festival, but they had the right to supervise, although Li Zheng valued Liu Dashao, but it would not break the rules, once the mouth was opened, it would be a hidden danger that could not be eradicated.

"Zhao Fengshou, a member of the official department, has seen the history of Qi Thorn."

"Excuse me, this official has the honor to participate in the Qiu Yu with Lord Zhao, all of which rely on His Majesty's grace, you and I are both in the position of the main exam, just support each other."

"Lord Xie Qi, Lord Qi, please take a seat."

"Sit together."

"Master Qi, why don't you give a lecture to your colleagues and talk about the rules of the examination room."

Qi Run waved his hand: "It's better for Lord Zhao to come, although this official has the honor to serve as the chief examiner, but the examination room is not as proficient as Lord Zhao, so there is still Lord Zhao's instructions." ”

"Since then, the lower officials will not shirk."

"Please."

Zhao Fengshou cleared his throat: "Colleagues, Qiu Yu is the foundation of our dynasty, it is related to the success or failure of the Dragon Dynasty in the future, you must perform your duties, put an end to favoritism, after the candidates enter, close the courtyard door, nothing can interrupt the exam, three gongs began to distribute test papers, you should supervise the examination a lot, find the black sheep, and immediately find out the severe punishment." ”

"Obey."

"Lord Qi, the hour is almost up, let's open the book."

Qi Run nodded: "Ready to open the book." ”

Immediately, four generals escorted a box to the wooden platform and placed it on the table.

Wai Lang, a member of the ministry, took out a key from his sleeve and put it on the table, Qi Run also took out a key and put it on the table, and then the two looked at the other supervision officer.

The official nodded, stepped forward and began to monitor the lock on the box, and after carefully checking it, there was no problem and nodded: "Correct." ”

Qi Run stood up and said in a loud voice, "Sound the gong." ”

Zhao Fengshou also shouted: "The Gongyuan is open, and the candidates are entered." ”
