Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan left Liu's mansion, chatting as they walked.

"I don't know if the teacher has the method to make us ......"

Huang Jinquan only said half of what he said, some things can't be said too completely, and even have to be said very obscurely, anyway, everyone knows it, if you let outsiders know, it's easy to grab the handle and make a big fuss.

The two of them are still talented, and they won't attract attention, but now Liu Jin is indeed a big man, and the two of them are also very aware of this, so they are cautious when doing things, for fear of affecting their mentor.

"How can we guess the skill of the teacher?"

Tong Yuan smiled and shook his head, he didn't have the slightest confidence in passing the Qiu Yu exam before, but now Liu Jin's words made him full of confidence.

"That's, it's a pity, Brother Lin went to the Golden Continent, and he can't participate in this autumn festival together, otherwise the three of us and our teacher will participate in the autumn festival together, and if we go to high school together, won't it become a beautiful talk for the ages?"

Huang Jinquan nodded, then thought of Lin Shuhong, who was heading to the Golden Continent, and said with a little regret.

"Yes, Brother Lin is no longer there, I always feel that there is a lack of taste."

Tong Yuan also nodded and said.

The two chatted while walking, and unconsciously came to a relatively prosperous place in the capital.

Because the autumn exam is about to be held, the capital is also full of talents from the entire North Zhili who came to catch the exam.

Beizhili has a special status, because it is the place where the Beijing division is located, so the autumn examination is in the Shuntian Mansion in this capital, and the same because in the capital, in order to show its attention to the triennial Luncai ceremony, the autumn examination in the capital is generally appointed by the emperor to serve as the chief examiner.

Therefore, although the literary style of Beizhili is far less prosperous than that of the Jiangnan region, and the level of literati is not as good as that of the Jiangnan region, the triennial Luncai Ceremony on the Beizhili side is still very lively.

Of course, the most lively thing is to pass the autumn season, and when it comes to the spring next year, at that time, the talents of the entire Ming Dynasty will gather in Beijing, and they can smash out a few people when they turn their heads and throw them down, which is called lively.

Generally at that time, the temples, restaurants, teahouses, brothels, etc. here in the capital will hold some poetry meetings, follow the vassal elegance, and give some silver for these literati to write poems or something.

And literati are naturally very keen on this kind of activities, one can show their talents, literati are all their own arrogance, if you don't compare, everyone nostrils to the sky, no one is convinced.

Second, it is also for fame, many famous poets and lyricists in history have become famous by such activities, such as Wang Bo is the most typical, the original intention of Yan Gong to hold this event is to let his son-in-law Meng Bachelor make a preface to show his name, it is estimated that he may be really talented, or maybe he has already found someone to buy the article in advance, but anyway, it is not for Wang Bo in short.

Clear-eyed people know this, so everyone will shirk each other, saying that they are only shallow in their studies and can't write any good articles.

But I met Wang Bo, a stunned young man, and he didn't have any excuses, so he picked up the pen and began to wave his pen and ink, writing something that has been passed down through the ages.

As soon as 'Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together', not only did Wang Bo's name spread through the ages, but even Tengwang Pavilion became one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even Li Yuanying, the king of Teng who built the Tengwang Pavilion, is well-known, otherwise who would remember this Li Yuan's youngest son, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin?

It can be seen from this that why literati are keen on such activities, and why restaurants, teahouses, brothels, temples and the like are happy to hold such activities, in the final analysis, it is for fame, and fame and fortune naturally have profit, fame and fortune, and fame and fortune have been linked together since ancient times.

At this time, although the capital has not yet reached the most lively spring season, the autumn season is coming, and it has also become a grand event for literati in the Beizhili area.

No matter how many catties or taels they have, it does not prevent these literati from getting together, climbing high and looking far, and writing poems in the river.

Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan walked on the streets of the capital, and when they looked up, they saw that all the restaurants, teahouses, etc., were full of literati dressed as scholars.

"It's really lively~"

Huang Jinquan said to Tong Yuan with a smile on his face.

"Yes, they are all in high spirits, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country, and inspiring words."

Tong Yuan was also smiling, such a grand event was the favorite of those of them who read.

"Is this Brother Huang and Brother Tong here?"

Above the Moon Tower, a group of literati were chanting poems and lyrics, and some people also saw Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan walking on the street at once, and immediately couldn't help but say loudly to the two of them upstairs.

"Brother Liu, Brother Jiang, Brother Ouyang~"

Hearing someone shouting upstairs, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan looked up, and immediately found a few acquaintances, and they were also slightly stunned, because they came to Wangyue Tower unknowingly.

Mochizuki Tower is Liu Jin's shocking enemy, and the same Mochizuki Tower also took off because of Liu Jin's remarks, and now it has become the most famous restaurant in the capital, and even opened a branch specializing in seafood.

Because of the relationship between Liu and Jin, this Moon Tower has naturally become the favorite place of literati, the decoration here closely follows the fashion trend of the capital, glass windows, a large number of glass products, and even at night, the glass lamp is lit up at one point, and it becomes the general existence of the surrounding lighthouse.

"Brother Huang, Brother Tong, hurry up~"

"Yes, yes, hurry up, everyone is betting on the topic now."

"I haven't seen the two brothers since I came to the capital, and I thought that the two brothers were not ready to participate in this autumn festival."

The people upstairs asked the two of them to hurry up, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan glanced at each other, and also entered the Moon Tower, and soon came to the third floor of the Moon Tower.

The third floor of the Moon Tower has been taken by these literati to provide for themselves, and at this time, more than a dozen literati gathered together, talking and laughing with each other, which was very lively.

Seeing the arrival of Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan, they also introduced each other and got to know each other, they participated in the Qiuqiu exam together in the same period, the same subject, and the same year, not to mention that they are both from Beizhili, this relationship is not ordinary.

What Brother Liu, Brother Zhang, Brother Li, etc. call each other, if you meet someone with the same surname, you have to call each other's words, an introduction, it is also a lively one, but soon, they returned to the topic.

"Brothers, which minister of the court do you think the chief examiner of this township examination will be presided over?"

The proposer of this gathering is called Jiang Shan, who is a local native of the capital, and the conditions at home are naturally very good.

"I think it's mostly Gong Li or Gong Xie."

Ouyang Wen followed and said, this Ouyang Wen is also a famous talent in Beizhili, the head of the last Shuntianfu Academy test, and he is also one of the most active people now.

"Brother Ouyang's words are wrong, Duke Li or Duke Xie is most likely to preside over next year's Spring Festival, as for this Autumn Festival, I think most of them are selected from the six Shangshu, and the imperial court has always attached great importance to our Beizhili, I think most of them will let the prince preside over it."

The person who spoke was Liu Hongzhi, who was also the head of the last court examination in Baoding Mansion, Beizhili, and the prince he was talking about referred to was the current official department Shangshu Wang Wei.

"What Brother Liu said is reasonable, according to the practice of the previous township examination, this cabinet elder presided over the Spring Festival, and the six Shangshu presided over the Autumn Festival, which is almost already a convention, and it is very likely that the prince will preside over the Autumn Examination this time."

Jiang Shan nodded and said, he is from the capital and is too familiar with this area.

The triennial Luncai ceremony, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, the chief examiner of the township examination is directly appointed by the imperial court to preside over the ministers, as for the northern Zhili, the status is special, the level of the examiner is even higher, generally the six books to preside, sometimes it may be the cabinet cabinet to be the chief examiner, in order to show the importance of the imperial examination of the imperial court.

"I think it may also be Xu Gong of the Ministry of Rites."

Someone thought about it and said, the Xu Gong in his mouth refers to Xu Qiong, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Maybe it could be Zhou Gong of the household department."

There are also people who propose the Book of the Household Department, and there are also people who support it.

Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan didn't speak, just listened quietly, everyone likes to guess the examiner before the exam is also to bet on the question, because the style of each examiner is completely different.

Like the Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing, this person is more direct and upright, so if he is the chief examiner, his questions are generally not too tricky, if it is the official Shangshu Wang Wei, this question may be relatively cold.

In addition to the questions, the examiner's personal preference is also very important to pay attention to, this exam is written according to the examiner's preference, there will naturally be extra points, and the probability of passing the township test will be higher.

This is why before the exam, these talents like to guess the examiner and like to bet on the questions, the imperial examination is too difficult and too perverted.

If you can guess the examiner in advance and make some preparations, the probability of success will increase by a few points.

Everyone, you say how ^_^ many people have served as the chief examiner of this time, but there are many people who feel that Zhou Jing, the secretary of the household department, and Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, have become the chief examiners of this time.

Because of the previous practice, it was basically the three Shangshu of the Household Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites, and as for Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, there was no one who even proposed it.
