"Whew!"

"You shameless little dumb marquis, the head of the four great gentlemen in Jinling City, there is no more mediocre and ridiculous person in the world than you."

"Your father can't compare to you! You have been the Dull Marquis for six generations, and you have completely defeated the Dull Marquis Mansion. ”

"You squandered 100,000 taels of silver in the Ping Palace, and if you don't pay it back, you will die yourself, and you deserve to be demoted by the emperor to the son-in-law of the Ping Palace!"

"It's still a saint, I finally found such a wonderful way to clean you up and subdue your demon!

Now you have become a son-in-law, and you are tied to death by a tight hoop, and you can't be lawless. It's so exhilarating that it's worth drinking a glass of spirits to celebrate! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court has decreed that tomorrow the bus government will accept this year's 'recommendation documents'. We handed over the documents supporting the marriage of the Holy God to the bus house.

To express our Confucian scholars' support for the imperial court, we will definitely record this matter in the annals of Great Chu and praise our Majesty's wisdom and martial arts! ”

The Confucian scholars were impassioned, scolding loudly and shouting at the emperor's sage.

Chu Tianxiu was scolded by the Confucian scribes in the hall. He couldn't scold this large group of Confucian students alone, and suddenly shrank back with interest, and drank a sip of cold water wine depressedly, even more depressed.

He was annoyed.

People are unlucky, and they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water!

Why didn't any Confucian scholar support him!

Didn't you say that the Confucian scholars were all clear and righteous people, and everyone attacked the traitors of the court together!

How could the emperor be bewitched by traitorous ministers, belittle him as a dignified marquis, and do such a mediocre thing, but he applauded loudly one by one.

What is your righteous position?

In order to fight the enemy of my little faint marquis, it doesn't matter how dull the emperor is?

A bunch of guys with no position, no backbone!

Chu Tianxiu slandered in his heart.

In the Hongmen Inn, all the Confucian students scolded loudly, and they were miraculously surprised to see that the little dusk marquis did not return the mouth.

This is quite unusual.

They have a hot burden, and the one-man show and scolding is boring after all. Soon subsided, some Confucian scholars chattered about another major event in Jinling City.

On the winter solstice, two major events occurred in Jinling City.

One is that the emperor issued an order to give the little marquis to enter the palace of Ping. It was a sensation, and it spread throughout the entire Jinling Imperial City in just one day.

The other, of course, is that every year on the winter solstice, the emperor will issue a decree "New Year".

At the age of the year, all princes, ministers, and county guards with more than 2,000 stone can recommend one person to the imperial court, participate in the "policy questioning" assessment, and become an official.

Because the year is the only way to become an official in the imperial court in addition to making military achievements on the battlefield. The Confucian scholars don't know how to fight, they only have to be a scholar, and they are very concerned.

"The imperial court has issued an edict, how are you prepared?!"

"Brothers, have you found a way to recommend you?"

"Alas, it's hard! Princes, three dukes, and two thousand stone county guards are qualified to recommend one person. There are so few places to be referred, and more than 100 people are recommended every year.

Most of us are Confucian scribes who are commoners and are from a small wealth, how do we climb the relationship between princes and princes and county guards? If you don't have a deep relationship, who will recommend you?! ”

"We have been reading Confucian scriptures for most of our lives, but we have sought to reach the princes. I just hope that the imperial court can take a look at it and give a recommended place... Otherwise, there is no great profit in a lifetime! ”

In the inn, all the Confucian scribes mourned all over the wilderness, and they all sighed.

No wonder they are so worried.

Since Emperor Taizu Xiang Yu established the Great Chu Dynasty, it has only been sixty or seventy years.

The Great Chu Dynasty did not implement the imperial examination system that lasted for 2,000 years in later generations, but implemented a more ancient and backward year examination system - princes, ministers, and officials above the 2,000-stone county guard were recommended, and only after the imperial court assessment did they be awarded officials.

To put it bluntly, this era is the era of princely gate lords and monopolistic regimes.

This is better than the hereditary system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it is more backward than the imperial examination system of later generations. It is difficult for ordinary people to squeeze into the court.

If you can't get the recommendation of a big official, you can participate in the imperial court assessment, and you still want to be an official?!

Hehe, you want to be an official after learning a little Confucianism, which onion are you?

There are no doors!

Ordinary Confucian students can only make a living as a private school teacher or something in a large family, a village, or a county town.

Years old?

Chu Tianxiu alertly pricked up his ears and listened, listened for a while, pondered carefully, and was extremely surprised.

The marquis is a prince and fully meets the conditions for recommendation.

Isn't that tailor-made for him!

In the past two days, he has been worried about his son-in-law, thinking about persuading the emperor to change his holy decree.

Why didn't you think of self-recommendation to become an official, this avenue in front of you? As long as you become an official, you don't need to send people under the fence of King Ping's Mansion.

Remember, Li Bai and Zuo Zongtang are both sons-in-law as clearly written in the history books!

One of them is the first genius of the Tang Dynasty who is famous all over the world, Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, and eunuchs all went to praise his stinky feet.

Another high-ranking official in the late Qing Dynasty who won the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty and became famous all over the world was so arrogant that he looked down on the people of the world!

This shows that a son-in-law can also be an official!

This little marquis simply recommended himself as an official.

When he becomes a big official, he doesn't have to look at the face of Ping Wangfu, who dares to sneer at him. These poor Confucian students, it's too late to chase him and slap his ass!

Let the second lady of the Ping Wangfu and the general manager of the Qian Mansion look bullish and cold, and let you Confucian students scold Huai to your face.

What's wrong with my little dusk marquis being a son-in-law?

Wait and see!

Chu Tianxiu was calculated, and slapped the table suddenly, "This little marquis will recommend himself as an official!" You rotten people, just wait for this marquis to become a big official, come and pat yourself! ”

In the hall of the inn, all the Confucian students reacted for a moment and were stunned.

That's right!

The Marquis Mansion is also a marquis, and there is a place for recommending officials!

Doesn't the little dusk marquis have a great chance to become an official?!

"No, it won't!"

"The emperor is so sage, how can he allow a mediocre kid like him to become an official!"

The Confucian scribes were like being trampled on their tails, and they were heartbroken.

They are full of scriptures and books, talented, and full of wealth enough to support the community, but they suffer from the lack of a way to be recommended by high-ranking officials, and they have no chance to register for the exam, and the court does not need them.

But Xiao Duhou is so mediocre, relying on the hereditary ancestral shadow, he can recommend himself when he is born.

How unfair the way of heaven is!

"Jia Sheng, aren't you Mr. Pingwangfu who has been a private school for more than 20 years. The prince's son-in-law, the little dusk marquis wants to become an official, aren't you angry?! ”

Suddenly, there was humanity.

Everyone immediately looked at an old Confucian in his fifties in the hall.

This old Confucian has been teaching in Pingwangfu for half his life, reading a lot, and he is sour. On weekdays, he is the most cynical and hates those mediocre people who have become officials.

He didn't say much tonight.

"Hmph, what's so frustrating about this!"

The old Confucian student disagreed, and arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said: "Every year when the eighth year of the year is assessed, it is presided over by the saint himself, and it is strict." With the little marquis's ability, he can also get into the eyes of the saint? Why not let him recommend himself! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Xiao Duhou, shook his head and said, "Jia Sheng is here to wait for the news of Xiao Hou.

Jia is willing to make a bet with the little marquis, and bet on whether the little marquis can pass the stern assessment of the saint and become an official! The loser voluntarily runs naked in the icy and snowy Jinling City! ”

"Haha! That's a good point. Li is willing to follow Brother Jia and make this oath together. ”

"We are all willing to accompany you!"

When the Confucian scribes heard Jia Sheng's words, they suddenly came to their senses.

Xiao Duhou can recommend himself, but it does not mean that he can become an official.

Before leaving the office, the emperor personally assessed.

Stern!

The emperor was so disgusted with the little marquis that he demoted him to a son-in-law.

Just because the little dusk marquis will only spend all day drinking and spending extravagantly, what does the court want him to do? I'm afraid that the court will not have enough money and food, and the marquis will be wasted?

Xiao Duhou is clearly daydreaming.

Their worries and jealousies are completely superfluous!

"Wo Groove, running naked in Jinling City in the ice and snow, you dare to make this kind of poisonous oath! Jia Lao, you have a kind, admire! You group of corrupt Confucians, a group of official fans, are obviously jealous in your hearts, so you slander this little marquis in every possible way!

Let's go, Zu'er, let's go back to the palace to write the "Self-Recommendation Book".

Uncle, I will go to the court tomorrow, spread my wings, and soar into the sky! Waiting for this group of Confucian students to go crazy with jealousy, they ran naked in the ice and snow of Jinling City to celebrate the appointment of this little marquis. ”

Chu Tianxiu laughed out of the Hongmen Inn and went straight to the Pingwang Mansion.

"Okay!"

Zu'er cried with joy and hurried to follow. My uncle finally figured it out and took the initiative to go back to the palace, and it was not in vain that she accompanied her to freeze on the street.
