When Lu Jingchu arrived at the palace hall, it was already the third pole of the day, and all the members of the hall were in place.

Walking all the way into the hall, Lu Jingchu was originally slightly panting and hot, and sweat was faint on his forehead, but as Song Jing, a bachelor in the hall, glanced up, he felt that there seemed to be a cold wind pouring into the robe behind his neck, and the heat and sweat suddenly dissipated.

He lowered his head and walked forward, and whispered: "The lowly villagers entered Beijing last night, and they were hot and forgetful, drunk and lying, so they ......."

"Take a seat, you will be absent for half a day, and you will be counted at the end of the month."

After hearing this, Song Jing bowed slightly, signaled Lu Jingchu to return to the table, and then continued to review the documents.

When Lu Jingchu heard this, he was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, slowly retreated, and sat down in his seat on the left side of the compartment, and then asked Zheng Fuqiu who was sitting next to him in a low voice: "Why is Master Song straight?" I was already short of the visa at the beginning of the month, and I will count it again today, and this month's food supplement is gone......"

Most of the staff of the Xingtai are school inspectors, except for some high-ranking bigwigs who have the rank of casual jobs awarded by the imperial court and can be directly received, similar to Lu Jingchu, whose rank is only nine grades, and the rank given is really meager.

Of course, this does not mean that the treatment of the industry is poor, in addition to the rank of the product, various ministry subsidies are the bulk of the income. Similar to Lu Jingchu, in addition to joining the army, he also received a bachelor's degree from the palace, and various allowances and subsidies were as much as forty or fifty a month. However, these allowances and subsidies are linked to attendance, and if you sign in to the yatang every day, if you miss a certain number of times, the subsidy will be deducted accordingly.

The son of Prime Minister Lu Jingchu, of course, has a good family background, but since he has become a family, the expenses are not small. Favors such as yesterday's greeting to congratulate Zhizhang also account for a large part of the expenses.

Hearing Lu Jingchu's complaint, Zheng Fuqiu couldn't help laughing: "Bachelor Shen inspected the academy with His Highness today, and Bachelor Song came to replace him." Chenshi sealed, you are not the only one who is missing today. Alas, in the middle of the month, there are not many people who can receive enough food and supplements this month. ”

In addition to dealing with matters related to the palace, there are also responsibilities to ask about the left and right, which is similar to the direct bachelors of the palaces of the imperial court, which is equivalent to the personal consultant team of His Royal Highness King Yong.

Occasionally, the order is drafted, and before it is officially submitted to the table for discussion, it will also be revised and evaluated by these straight scholars, so the palace is also called Guanzheng Hall.

Those who can be selected for this hall are the Shilin Shaozhuang admired by King Yong, who observes politics and reserves knowledge.

The straight bachelors are divided into three classes, and there are three straight bachelors Shen Yanqi, Song Jing and Zhang Jiazhen as the class leaders. Among them, Shen Yanqi and Zhang Jiazhen are relatively easy to talk, and they can still ask for a favor if they are late for a while and a half, but if it is Song Jing, then they are completely ruthless, once sealed, even if the front foot has entered the court, they are also not allowed to make up the signature.

"The middle of the month is not the beginning or the end, and people's hearts are the most relaxed. I suspect that it is not unintentional, or it is just to save money on materials......"

Lu Jingchu complained quietly while rolling out the documents that needed to be processed today on the case, and glanced at Zheng Fuqiu from time to time, and almost said that your brother-in-law is not authentic!

Zheng Fuqiu glanced at him angrily after hearing this, and said angrily: "Since I went straight to the court, I still don't know what food supplements are like!" ”

While the two were talking, a figure suddenly flashed outside the hall, catching the corner of his clothes, Zheng Fuqiu couldn't help but chuckle: "Look, a shrewd person is peeking outside, and he won't enter the hall at all!" Anyway, it's already hopeless to make up the visa, so it's better to steal it for another half a day! ”

"Alas, the pace is a little faster, and there is no place to turn."

Through the gap in the window, Lu Jingchu glanced at Guo Yuanzhen, who was walking out of the corridor with a lack of hip hem and tiptoeing over, and couldn't help sighing.

Guo Yuanzhen's late arrival is nothing new, and it is surprising that he is not late. Peeping outside the hall and seeing that the person who went straight to the hall was Song Jing, he knew that there was no hope of making up the signature, so he simply sneaked out again.

Entering and leaving the hall every day, he and the doorman are already familiar with each other, chatting a few words outside the hall, after all, he feels that staying in the palace to fish is too eye-catching, and he is ready to take the mount to cross the street and go to Pingkangfang for a walk. But as soon as he walked out of the mansion here, he heard the thunder of horses' hooves outside the Yimen, and immediately stood upright, and stepped forward, and sure enough, not long after, Yongwang Yijia drove into the Yimen surrounded by the armor soldiers.

So Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly came over and handled the defense handover with the other staff, as if he was doing his job, and he couldn't tell that he was late and leaving early. When King Yong ascended the hall, he jumped behind Shen Yanqi and the others in three steps and two steps, and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he left, as if he was tired from following the journey.

Song Jing and others hurriedly came out of the hall to greet His Royal Highness King Yong, and no one paid attention to Guo Yuanzhen for a while, only Lu Jingchu, Zheng Fuqiu and others who knew that he was going and returned, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone greeted King Yong, Guo Yuanzhen quietly slipped into the signing seat, and when he was about to hold the pen, he felt cold and swishing on his body, and when he looked up, he saw that King Yong and Song Jing were looking at him directly, laughed dryly, raised his hand to dust his robe and retreated to the left of the box.

"In this year's hospital examination, the number of references has increased several times compared with before, and the cost of paper and pen cultural relics is even greater. However, the number of hospital tests has not been decided, and the warehouse still needs to be defended. There are no idlers on the platform, Guo is guarded by a person, and the hospital test is not over, and he is not allowed to leave the warehouse! ”

Guozijian has limited degrees and venues, so Xingtai has also set up Jiying Academy, which is located in Guangzhai Fang, Beijing, which is used to record the names of reference students and summarize students from all over the world.

The imperial imperial examination was still selected by the tribute people of various states, and the college examination of Jiying Academy was a preliminary examination for the selection of the Xingtai examination. The reference on the same day and the list on the same day are equivalent to the long list selected by the imperial court. After passing the hospital examination, you can participate in the Xijing Guozi supervision examination, and after passing the supervision examination, you will have the qualification to be officially conferred.

Of course, if you suspect that the invigilator examination is too low, you can also continue to prepare for the exam and participate in the hall examination presided over by the Xingtai.

Although Xingtai's series of examinations and selections do not have the official status granted by the imperial court, there is one advantage that the imperial court cannot compare, that is, in this examination process, there is no large number of shade to occupy the quota, after all, this is also the power that the imperial court has, and Xingtai is still not qualified to directly confer shade on the children of officials.

When Guo Yuanzhen heard that he had arranged for himself to defend the warehouse, his face couldn't help but be bitter. However, he was clever in small things, but he still didn't dare to be ambiguous in major matters, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said yes.

After entering the hall and sitting down and reviewing some church affairs at will, Li Tong suddenly paused, remembered a section, raised his finger and pointed at Lu Jingchu and said: "On the way, I heard that the new words were sung in the market, and I heard that it was planned by the villagers of Master Lu?" ”

After hearing this, Lu Jingchu hurriedly got up and introduced He Zhizhang, who had just entered Beijing.

Li Tong was also quite interested after hearing this, and said with a smile: "There are talented people in Jiangnan, will this Yuezhou He Zhizhang participate in the hospital examination?" If you enter, take his exam paper to the house for a detailed look. ”

Lu Jingchu was overjoyed when he heard this, he was quite confident in his cousin's talent, and thought that he didn't have to rely on luck to get in and out, so he didn't recommend it to King Yong. But now that King Yong took the initiative to ask, the meaning was naturally different, and he hurriedly talked about some of He Zhizhang's old works.

Li Tong was also quite happy after hearing this, and he was naturally no stranger to He Zhizhang's name. Not to mention that he is the most well-known person and has a commercial interaction with Li Bai, he alone is worthy of Li Tong's other treatment.

He Zhizhang has not many poems, but in the transition period from the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is a period of Tang poetry, it has its own extraordinary position and is known as the forerunner of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the famous early Tang Dynasty poems of Shen and Song dynasties, in the time from the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the two most important characters are Chen Ziang and He Zhizhang.

Chen Ziang's poetry and writing are strong, and it can be said that he swept away the decline of the Six Dynasties, but unfortunately due to his ill-fated and untimely death, although Chen Ziang broke the legacy of the Six Dynasties, he did not have much time to do more creation. If Chen Ziang is focused on breaking, then He Zhizhang is created, since He Zhizhang, Tang poetry has emerged like a blowout regardless of the subject matter or technique, including poetry and literary masters.

Now that Chen Ziang is already on the stage, and He Zhizhang, the original champion of Jiangnan, has also come to Chang'an, Li Tong is of course very happy in his heart, and plans to find a time to meet He Zhizhang and engage in some copying activities to shock him. He Jian has already entered the WTO, and the era of bright stars is not far away, and if you don't copy it, you won't have a chance.

However, compared with the name of He Zhizhang's poems, Li Tong is more interested in Lu Jingchu's other relative, his brother-in-law Xiao Song. Xiao Song was in the prime of the Tang Dynasty and was also an important figure in the Kaiyuan period.

But how to say it, compared to He Zhizhang's talent and talent, which caused some discussion as soon as he entered Beijing, Xiao Song has a bit of a scumbag taste.

Xiao Song came to Chang'an last year, for the sake of Lu Yuanfang's face, Li Tong also exempted him from tuition and miscellaneous fees and let him enroll in Guozijian, but in Yang Zaisi's words, this baby is a kind of goods, embroidered pillows, Lu's famous family, I don't mean to have such a foolish relative, and all the beauty is floating on the surface.

Li Tong didn't know much about Xiao Song's experience when he was not a career, but he just put it on the list of people who could still be saved, and planned to find an opportunity to summon him to the Eagle Garden for cultivation. I don't say who I give face, after all, handsome people will inevitably sympathize with each other.

After dealing with some trivial matters in the afternoon, Yang Zaisi entered the house in the afternoon. He is the priest of Xijing Guozi, and he is also in office when he is elected, and he has been working hard recently, and he looks a little thin.

Li Tong deliberately left Yang Zaisi in the mansion for dinner, and handed out a book in the banquet, looked at Yang Zaisi and said with a smile: "Here is a copy of the Sanyuan students' papers, can there be a public evaluation by Lao Yang and be exempted from the college examination?" ”

Yang Zaisi stopped when he heard this, raised his hand to push the scroll aside, and said with a straight face: "Students submit papers, and Xingtai has its own Jiying Academy." The ministers are not here, and they dare not read it. ”

Li Tong touched a soft nail, and couldn't help but be a little displeased, glanced at Yang Zaisi and smiled: "Recently, there have been rumors that Yang Xianggong has different styles of things. Now in Xijing, it seems to be a straight selling! ”

When Yang Zaisi heard this, he laughed, raised his glass in the banquet and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness!" His Royal Highness can be governed, and a minister can be honored by selling straight, and this mediocre lord can get it? ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed after hearing it: "The water and soil are different, either orange or orange." Not only do I win people, but Yang Xianggong also wins the world! ”

After blowing each other, Li Tong said with a smile: "This Sanyuan student Li Tong is indeed talented, just because of the inconvenience of his life experience, he went to my court for convenience, and he really couldn't bear to accept it." ”

When Yang Zaisi heard King Yong say this, he stopped selling straight, and washed his hands after the meal before he said with a smile: "I can get His Royal Highness's drooping green, and I am really curious about what kind of talent it is?" ”
