Because there were too many people running away, Zhang Xiaowu and the others hurriedly dodged out of the way, and he was almost hit by someone, Wang Yijin on the side complained: "Are these people crazy?" It's just a few scholars, how can it be like seeing a fairy. Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Brother Ma, may I ask the ten sons of Jinke, are they the ten sons who were said to be able to win the heavenly list before?" Who are these people? ”

"It's them." Wang Jingzhi counted them with interest, "These ten people are Xiao Zhi'an, Han Yi, Ji Xiaoqiang, Hou Yichen, Lu Jun, Zhu Zihan, Xu Rui, Li Jie, Cao Wei, and Gan Wenwei. They have hired famous teachers to teach since they were young, coupled with the strong support of their families, and they are of the same age and have good faces, plus the ten of them participated in the imperial examination this year, so some good people named the ten of them the Ten Sons, also known as the Ten Sons of the Present Branch. ”

"They are all children of eunuchs." Zhang Xiaowu held his chin and smiled, "Can you take care of it in the exam?" ”

"Not really." Wang Jingzhi said, "The imperial examination of the Holy Han Empire has always been of great significance, and no one dares to cheat in the imperial examination, otherwise it will anger everyone in the world." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and said in his heart: "The imperial examination and the war are the only two paths for the children of commoners to advance to the class, if these two roads are blocked, then the imperial court will not be far from the day of collapse." A country must give the majority of ordinary people a way to advance to the class, and class solidification is not only not conducive to stability, but also not conducive to rule, because the growing power of the family may threaten the ruler. ”

"What are you thinking?" Wang Jingzhi asked.

Zhang Xiaowu slapped his face and said: "There are fewer people, just take the opportunity to enter the city." ”

The biggest benefit of the arrival of the tenth prince of Jinke is that there are fewer people here, Zhang Xiaowu and Wang Jingzhi and others came to the gate of Fangcheng, and saw that the person who led the team to block the door was actually Wang Huaili, so he asked Wang Yijin to come forward and greet him. Although Wang Huaili felt that Zhang Xiaowu was familiar after putting on makeup, he didn't see who it was, but he recognized Wang Yijin, and then he suddenly realized that this scholar was a general, and he was busy inviting him to enter Fangcheng.

Maybe there were too many people entering Fangcheng this morning, there were lively crowds everywhere, and every store was almost full, no wonder Jinyiwei didn't allow others to enter Fangcheng. Suddenly, a young man with a book basket on his back raised the book in his hand and shouted: "Huai'an Poetry Collection!" Huai'an Poetry Collection! Fifty texts, a freshly baked collection of Huai'an poems, first come, first served, no more! ”

Several scholars rushed over and asked, "Is it really Mr. Huai'an's poetry collection?" ”

"How can this be fake?" Bookseller's Road.

"But isn't Mr. Huai'an no longer writing poetry?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, Mr. Huai'an doesn't write books because he is busy with major events in the DPRK and China, but these poems were created when he was young. If you want to achieve good results, you need to know what Mr. Huai'an likes and what he doesn't like. Of course, I'm a bookseller, but I can't see Mr. Huai'an's hobbies. But you are different, you are the pride of the sky, you are the pillars of the country, you are talented talents, you can definitely see Mr. Huai'an's hobby. The bookseller said with a smile, and he handed over a book, "You want to take the exam, Mr. Huai'an is one of the examiners, if you read his book and write the style he likes, you will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

A few scholars saw that a book of poems was not expensive, so they paid for it, and after a while, all the books in the bookseller were sold out, and the bookseller left happily.

Zhang Xiaowu was surprised on the side and said, "Who is Mr. Huai'an?" ”

"It's Zhao Huai'an, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy." Wang Jingzhi said with a smile.

"Is he a grading examiner? How do they know the list of examiners? Zhang Xiaowu said angrily, "Isn't this a broken rule?" ”

Wang Jingzhi shook his head and said: "The list of examiners for marking papers was set by the emperor himself, but now it must be you, you haven't decided, who knows who will mark the papers." ”

"Then ...... they"

"It's all a trick used by some local traders in Longdu to coax students from other places." Wang Jingzhi said with a smile, "Before every imperial examination, these people try their best to cheat students from other places and some young people out of money. But people are also doing business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the other is that if these people are not thinking of opportunism, they will not be cheated of money. ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

The three of them strolled to the vicinity of Chengxinfang Yumo Zhai, but this place was surrounded by many students and ordinary people, and the three of them looked at the crowd of people, and it was estimated that they could not squeeze in. Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance: "The tenth prince is here." So everyone automatically made way for the Ten Princes, and this was a young talent gathered together, and while nodding to everyone, he walked in. Ten personable and dignified sons with red faces and white teeth are really extraordinary, not to mention talent, even the appearance is also first-class and handsome, everyone is a beautiful man, no wonder it attracted the surrounding people and women to cheer and praise: "Sure enough, it is the ten sons of Jinke." ”

Zhang Xiaowu watched with a little envy as the tenth prince was surrounded by everyone, turned around and asked Wang Jingzhi: "Compared with them, what is the difference?" ”

Wang Jingzhi smiled: "It's not good-looking." ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but smile and said: "Indeed, these ten sons are brought out, and each of them looks better than you and me, but does this fighting poem need a face?" ”

Wang Jingzhi: "People who don't look good naturally have to look at their talents." He pointed to the back of the ten princes and said: "These ten people are from the poetry and dragons, so they represent the northern students, but I don't know who the southern students will send. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "It is precisely because of the small number of scholars in the south that the students in the south have more opportunities to strive for fame, and it also leads to everyone in the south to study diligently." On the contrary, there are many scholars in the north, so that the ceiling is artificially covered, and even if the children of ordinary people learn well, they can't compare to the relationship between those scholars and disciples, so everyone will be more enthusiastic to serve as soldiers. The so-called northerners are still martial, and southerners are still literate, in fact, it is just a last resort. ”

"This brother is insightful! I like it, I like it, why don't I ask my brother to drink? Suddenly, a dark, thin and thin student came out of the side, listening to the accent is a southerner, it should be a member of the Muzhou generation. There are often some madmen in Muzhou, perhaps because Muzhou produces fine wine, and people who drink too much wine are naturally wilder, and you can know that this person is also a madman by looking at this person's performance. He shook the folding fan, stepped forward and said: "Muzhou Liu Yuanqing, I have seen the two brothers, but I don't know the surname?" ”

Wang Jingzhi: "Sizhou Ma Wencai." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yongzhou Liang Shanbo." ”
