This time, with the hope of the whole family, Fan Li set off again, taking his uncle's cattle sales money, holding these coils, and walking into Beijing to take the exam as if he was asking for food along the way.

But it's really hard to say about the exam, you can jokingly say that it is: three points are destined, and seven points depend on luck! In addition, Fan Liang is not a particularly smart person, so Fan Liang worked hard before, worked hard and worked hard, and failed to pass the exam several times in a row.

So this time Fan Li didn't have any hope, since he took the exam, then do his best! But what I never expected was that this time I finally won the 38th Jinshi, and then participated in the palace examination, and the 42nd in the top three was given the same Jinshi background.

What is the origin of Tongjinshi? It's just that he hasn't crossed the line yet, which makes Fan Liang very depressed, and he is almost lost!

It is equivalent to saying that you have passed the written test today, and the interview is a little worse, but the interview is a little worse, you don't have to go home, you can continue to mix with me here, and wait for one day in the future, when there is an opportunity to give you some training, and when there is a vacancy, you will be on top. Of course, you can also go home and wait first, and I will look for you when I have some minor officials and vacancies.

But obviously this is different from Fan Li's long-term expectations of years of hard study, so when he finished reading this report card, he felt very uncomfortable, and his future may be really full of fear of the unknown.

In Fan Li's heart, he was really unwilling, but people would always survive in a desperate situation, in that era, there was a custom: that is, these students who entered Beijing to take the exam would go to worship these fellow villagers who were officials in the capital by the way, and it was always no harm to climb and make friends.

Therefore, every time there is an exam, students from all over the country go to find their fellow countrymen, these fellow villagers who are officials in the capital. Is he bothered by these fellow countrymen who are officials in the capital?

Of course it won't bother! Why not bother? Because who of these students who come to find their fellow villagers, and who can come empty-handed? Writing this, some people will say: Oh mom, is Jingguan still missing this thing? Three melons and two dates. It's really bad! We'll talk about how bad it is later.

Fan Li is not exempt from vulgarity, and when he entered Beijing for the first time to take the exam, he went to visit these fellow villagers of his. Among these fellow villagers, there is a person surnamed Lao, this person is the imperial history in the capital, and every time he takes the exam, Fan Li visits this Lao Yushi, and the impression left by each other is not bad.

So this time, when Fan Li found out that his results were like this, he was unwilling, and he thought of this Lao Yushi over and over again, and with the mentality of trying it out, he went to this Lao Yushi's house to try his luck and see if he could have any way!

When he arrived at Lao Yushi's house, Fan Li told him about his situation, and after the two of them studied and summed it up together, this Lao Yushi said: Your achievements are very interesting, but they can go up or down, it is not completely hopeless!

Fan Li listened: There is hope! There is a way to do this, and my heart suddenly ignited expectations, and I hurriedly asked: Then what should I do?

This Lao Yushi said: This way is not particularly easy to do, first of all, either you have a particularly hard backstage, do you know more good people?

Fan Li said helplessly: How can I know a better person!

Lao Yushi thought about it: Also, why does he want to know someone more bullish and still look for me? I'm sure I'm the best he's ever known!

Lao Yushi said again: Then is your family rich? If you're willing to pay for it, it's easy to do!

Fan Li said that my family really has no money, you just look at this little thing I come to get you every time, you can understand what is going on if it is so shabby.

At first glance, this is really the case, but I have to help.

Why do you have to help? Using money and background to go through the door is something that everyone can imagine, so why bother looking for him to work on the imperial history! Looking for him Lao Yushi shows that he has more knowledge than Fan Li, because he is a Beijing official, and he always has some inside information in the circle.

There are mainly two, the first one, he knows that although Fan Liang has failed to take the exam several times in a row, but when Fan Liang took the first two exams, his results and this work are still remarkable, so Lao Yushi feels that this kid is a talent, but some of them have not yet reached the Tao and have not found the number of roads.

He also knew that some ministers had discussed Fan Li's articles and had a good impression of Fan Li. So maybe give him a few more exams, he can really be admitted, and then he will be a colleague like himself, maybe one day he will become a big official, and he can help himself, after all, he has helped him. Even if you don't become a big official, it always doesn't hurt to win over one more person in the capital, no matter how bad it is, you can't become a political enemy.

This second one, Lao Yushi knows who is the examiner of this exam, and he knows how to find this person.

Who is the examiner? This person's name is Mu Shangzhi, he is the president of this examination, and he is fully responsible.

This Mu Shangzhi is a well-known veteran official in the capital, although he does not have any great merits to impress the emperor, but this person's influence in the capital is not small, not to mention that now he is the chief examiner, as long as he is impressed, anything can be done.

What needs to be done now is to give Fan Li an idea, use his own knowledge and experience, and give Fan Li a point: How to impress this Mu Shangzhi without relying on background or money.

Judging from this matter today, it is an impossible task, and it seems that only the unspoken rules remain, but Fan Li does not seem to have this condition.

So what to do? After thinking about it, this Lao Yushi gave Fan Li an idea, saying that your poem is very well written, can you use this poem to get through the joints first.

Fan Li asked: How can I use poetry to get through the joints?

Here we are going to talk about it: the scroll. This is a habit handed down from the imperial examination in the past, which simply means: I am going to take the exam, and before the exam, I make the poems I wrote into scrolls and deliver them to the big officials in the court, trying to make these big officials have a little impression of me before the exam.

Then when grading the papers, I waited for the senior officials to take a look at the papers: Yo he, I have read this poem before, it's okay, okay, okay, I'll give him a high score. Or I look at the name or handwriting, ah, I know this person, I have read his poems before, he writes well, the boy is talented, okay, I will give him a high score.

But the current situation is that Fan Li has finished the test and the scores have come out, what a whole thing!

But Lao Yushi said: How can this test be over, aren't you still missing the last level.

Fan Li patted his head and said: Yes, I didn't want to take the last pass before, I always thought I was finished, but now that I think about it, I still have an exam, and I still have a life! I can beat it with this life!
