Wei Bao's goal is not only to be a big tyrant, but also to be a big tyrant who is loved by everyone and sees flowers blooming!

"Wu Xiaogongzi, don't always talk about the competition. I haven't forgotten the agreement of the competition, so let's wait until I'm busy with this scientific expedition! After taking Xiucai and getting tens of thousands of taels of silver, I will have a good rest for two days, and then practice kung fu for a day, and then I will teach you, what is a tutor. Wei Bao squinted his eyes and smiled back at Wu Sangui.

"Wow, yes!" Wu Sangui's hair exploded, and he couldn't wait to tear Wei Bao's hand-torn chicken into pieces of shredded meat like the anti-Japanese war drama in later generations, and then raised his hand, and the meat rain fell all over the sky.

Wu Xuexia and Wu Sanfu hurriedly blocked Wu Sangui, who was already mad and angry, not to mention that Wei Bao seemed to have a lot of subordinates guarding around. As far as Wei Bao's current strength is concerned, it is also a character who can only be moved by his father's orders and planned by himself, and it is definitely not a character that their juniors can touch casually.

"Childe, don't talk to him more." Wang Qiuya held Wei Bao's hand, and was also worried that Wei Bao would be angry and would order the close guards to beat Wu Sangui, and it was very troublesome to beat a noble son like Wu Sangui.

Both sides have scruples.

Wang Qiuya's action, others didn't care very much, but it almost protruded Zheng Zhongfei's hateful eyes, and then fell to the ground.

In the past, in Jinshan, Wang Qiuya was Zheng Zhongfei's top pursuer, but he had several choices at that time, and they were all just for fun, if he didn't want to find an official lady to be the main room, he would have been a group of wives and concubines.

But now that Zheng Zhongfei looks at Wang Qiuya again, he faintly feels that Wang Qiuya is unattainable, seeing Wang Qiuya holding hands with Wei Bao so naturally, how can he hold back his anger.

However, Zheng Zhongfei didn't say anything, with his status and status, it was not his turn to speak here.

Wu Xuexia is the person who is most disgusted by Wang Qiuya and Wei Bao holding hands in addition to Zheng Zhongfei, and Wei Bao is deliberately provoking Wu Sangui, so Wu Xuexia can't help but say to Wei Bao: "Originally, I said to help you resolve it, don't try, and don't bet on 10,000 taels of silver!" Wei Bao, you want to find death yourself, no wonder others! ”

In Wu Xuexia's opinion, it is impossible for Wei Bao to get the fame of Xiucai, at least he has just entered school for more than ten days, and it is definitely impossible this year! I also feel that Wei Bao can't wait for two days to finish the scientific examination and practice, and then he can fight with Wu Sangui! Although Wu Sangui is two years younger than Wei Bao, Wu Sangui has been practicing martial arts for seven or eight years, and he has laid a solid foundation since he was a child, and his body is thick, not losing to Wei Bao, and even stronger than Wei Bao!

So Wu Xuexia said to dissolve, don't try again, and don't bet on 10,000 taels of silver, in fact, she is helping Wei Bao.

Although Wei Bao heard that Wu Xuexia's words meant to help him, he didn't appreciate it! Because Wu Xuexia, on the other hand, also showed that she was not optimistic about Wei Bao! "I don't need you to resolve it! I can afford to lose 10,000 taels of silver! I'm willing to be killed! A man stands between heaven and earth, if he does not keep his promise, what is he doing in life? ”

When Wu Xuexia heard Wei Bao say this, her face turned red with anger, and she said to Wu Sangui: "Sangui, don't say it again!" Walk. ”

Wu Sangui glared at Wei Bao fiercely: "If I don't beat you to death at that time, I won't call Wu Sangui!" ”

Wei Bao looked at the big celebrity in history in front of him, who was only 12 years old, and secretly thought that he looked young at the age of three and looked old at the age of seven. not only influenced the fate of the Ming Dynasty, became the pioneer of the Manchurians, slaughtered countless Han people, but also wrestled with Kangxi when he was old?

Anyway, at this time, in Wei Bao's opinion, Wu Sangui is a pure reckless man, and he can't see any signs of becoming a general.

Everyone parted unhappily, and Wei Bao didn't want to live in the same inn with these people anymore, so he asked people to get their things and move to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce in Yongping Mansion of Tiandi Firm.

"Childe, is it because you broke up with those classmates and are you unhappy?" Wang Qiuya looked at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said indifferently: "There's nothing to be unhappy about, and it's not a trouble, right?" Friends should respect each other, you come and go, like these people, if you don't treat me as a friend, what do I have to lose? ”

Wang Qiuya nodded and said, "Yes, they didn't regard Gongzi as a friend, why did Gongzi pay attention to them?" ”

Wei Bao was unhappy because he felt that since he was a classmate in the college, why couldn't he be as simple as the friendship between modern students? After modern classmates enter the society, the vast majority of people no longer have any intersection with each other, but when everyone is studying in school, it will never be so realistic.

When he arrived at the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Wei Bao's treatment was different, and several guys served Wei Gongzi diligently as if he were serving the emperor.

Wei Bao simply ate something and began to read.

Tomorrow's test is "Da Ming Law", "Da Huo", as well as the ability to write documents, communication between superiors and subordinates, all rely on documents, which is similar to the modern civil service examination.

Wei Bao checked the test master made by Liao Fuzi, looked at it casually, and tried not to let himself bring too much baggage.

The first test was good, but he was under more pressure, because the content of the Daming Law is really a lot, covering all aspects of society, and it is the law of the entire Ming Empire, and everyone must follow the code of conduct.

If it is an ancient person, there is still a little basis for understanding, for Wei Bao, a modern person, he has not had much experience of ancient life, and many contents are incomprehensible, and it is even more difficult to remember.

Wei Bao can only bet on Liao Fuzi's test master, but there are only hundreds of questions in total, and Liao Fuzi can't bet all the questions every time, so he really becomes a god.

Wei Bao is studying hard here, while Wei Bao's group of classmates are still eating and drinking, enjoying themselves.

"Without this Wei Bao, it's really comfortable! It seems that the air is a lot fresher. Wang Dongming smiled.

"Yes, yes, that Wei Bao is hypocritical when he opens his mouth, and it stinks!" Fang Anping's hatred seemed to be like Wei Bao's great hatred. In fact, his family is in business, and Wei Bao is also in business, that's all.

"He's a businessman, why do you have to join in the excitement to catch the exam?" Wang Canhua sneered: "I never touch my family's business, and scholars can't often touch silver and copper coins, otherwise they will inevitably be stained with copper stench." However, I didn't expect someone like Wei Bao to be able to pass the children's test. ”

"Wei Bao passed the boy's test, not because of how good his knowledge is, but because of the master's credit! On the exercises given to us by the Master, we guessed most of the questions in this children's test, and as long as we did the questions given by the Master with our hearts, we could pass. Zheng Zhongfei said.

Liao Fuzi smiled and said: "Then you also have to be willing to do it with your heart, not all of them are guessed, most of them are right, every year the boy test, back and forth to test these things." ”

"Tomorrow Wei Bao will be off the list, I will get 10,000 taels of silver, and then invite everyone to Shanhaiguan to eat and drink." Wu Sangui was so unhappy when he heard a group of people say bad things about Wei Bao.

When everyone heard this, they applauded together.

Wu Sanfu and Wu Xuexia didn't say bad things about Wei Bao behind their backs, both of them were thinking, tomorrow's scientific examination is more difficult than the first one, I don't know if Wei Bao will really fall off the list tomorrow?

Wei Bao got up early the next day, meditated for a while, and then went to do a set of boxing, and after breakfast, it was not long before the start of the exam.

"Don't worry, Childe, you will be able to get by!" After Wang Qiuya saw Wei Bao get up, she didn't speak, thinking that he was worried about the scientific examination waiting for the meeting.

Wei Bao said indifferently: "It's impossible not to worry, but these pressures are all things that people need to face, and they are nothing." ”

Wei Bao secretly thought that as long as Liao Fuzi could bet on all the exam questions, he would still be able to pass the first game!

This scientific examination was in the prefect's yamen, because there were more than 200 candidates in the first one, and there were only 8 candidates in this one.

A group of boys and buddies didn't come, they all have child qualifications, and they only need to directly participate in the final round of the college exam.

Wu Sanfu, Wu Sangui and Wu Xuexia did not come because they had nothing to do with them.

Liao Fuzi, with Wei Bao and four other students from the academy, repeatedly told them to review the questions clearly, and then make a draft before they could start writing.

Several people agreed one by one.

Wei Bao didn't look at Zheng Zhongfei, but Zheng Zhongfei secretly glanced at Wei Bao several times.

"Childe will definitely be able to get by!" Wang Qiuya handed over the burden to Wei Bao and said gently.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, and gently stroked Wang Qiuya's pink and snow-white little hand, meaning that he knew.

The candidates entered the government office, this was the government test, and Zu Guangyao, the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, was also present in person.

"Yo, Wei Gongzi is also here for the scientific expedition?" Zu Guangyao didn't know that Wei Bao was participating in this scientific expedition in advance, and asked curiously.

The eight students in this round, except for Wei Bao, are all children of poor families by coincidence! Just from the brightness of the clothes, Wei Bao can be distinguished from everyone at a glance.

Wei Bao smiled: "The ancestral prefect is good, there are days when I don't see you." ”

"Hey, come here! When Wei Gongzi takes the exam, he will prepare diligently for good tea and snacks! Wei Gongzi is a member of Yongping Mansion, don't be lazy. Zu Guangyao was very good at saying to a leader of the government who was responsible for maintaining order in the examination room.

"Okay, don't worry, the little one will wait for the good son." The official smiled like a flower.

The other poor students were uncomfortable when they saw that Wei Bao was so familiar with the prefect of Yongping Mansion, but they didn't have too much to worry about, the world was unfair, and they were already used to it.

Wei Bao felt very happy, and it was finally his turn to enjoy the favorable conditions of the privileged class, especially when he saw Zheng Zhongfei's jealous and resentful eyes, he felt even more heartfelt!

It's not that Wei Bao has changed, and his mentality has changed after becoming a landlord class, but human nature, no one likes to be oppressed, and everyone likes to be high and powerful.

"Master Zu, you're too polite, aren't you? When the scientific expedition is over, Xiaosheng visits your house. Wei Bao laughed.

Zu Guangyao couldn't wait for Wei Bao to visit, and he had to bring gifts when he visited, he knew that Wei Bao dared to open a business in Shanhaiguan and dare to compete with the Wu family for shopping malls, and now his strength is not trivial, Wei Bao's souvenirs must be extremely rich, right? Le's flower-like: "That's good, Wei Gongzi can come at any time, welcome at any time." ”

Wei Bao smiled, said a few words to Zu Guangyao, and said a few words to Zu Guangyao's master, Zu Chuncai.

"Don't worry too much about this scene, with Wei Gongzi's talent, it will definitely be easy." Zu Chuncai said with a smile.

Wei Bao smiled, and said: "Big brother, don't say that, I've only been in school for more than ten days, and I've just read the content of the exam, and I can't be regarded as completely mastering it, and I'm up and down in my heart." ”

Wei Bao said this, but he actually wanted to see if Zu Chun could give himself a 'convenience'? He knows that no matter how strict the scientific examination system is, there will always be a little loophole, right?

Zu Chuncai looked around, and then whispered to Wei Bao: "The exam questions are selected temporarily, and no one knows in advance, so I can't help my brother." However, the most important edict, the edict, and the internal department, are personally corrected by the prefect! Master Zu will definitely let me correct it on my behalf, and most people will choose the table, and Brother Wei will either choose the edict! It's or! On the contrary, I knew that this volume belonged to Wei Gongzi, and then deliberately lowered the scores of other volumes to ensure that Wei Gongzi passed! ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this! Hurriedly whispered: "Then thank you brother!" ”

Zu Chuncai smiled and gave Wei Bao a 'you know' expression.

Wei Bao quietly replied with a 'I understand' look.

"Brother, when the exam starts, don't let people get close to me, when I'm writing a book, I don't like others to disturb me."

"That's fine, I'll just say hello to them!" Zu Chuncai said.

"Thank you, brother."

Wei Bao walked to his seat and sat down, feeling a lot calmer.

In addition to the second judgment, there are also edicts, edicts, and internal departments. Among them, the judgment is from the "Da Ming Law". Candidates must choose one of the edict forms.

In the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, candidates had multiple choices.

This is also the reason why Zu Chuncai asked Wei Bao not to choose to write a watch.

Otherwise, after the test paper is done, you have to transcribe it for others, and there is no way to make a mark! Zu Chuncai didn't know which one was Wei Bao's test paper, so he couldn't help.

Although there are only eight candidates for the exam today, there are still hundreds of people waiting outside the exam hall, either watching the excitement or having their relatives and friends.

They are able to see what's going on inside the exam room to show impartiality.

The exam questions are jointly produced by more than 10 Confucian scholars around Yongping Mansion, each person for each question type, each with a question, Yongping Mansion mentions the school and then before the exam, according to the type of questions scrambled, on the spot from each type, pick out one of the questions, several questions together to form the subject test paper.

It can be said that this process basically eliminates the possibility of leaking exam questions, which is very fair.

This is also the second government exam, and only local officials participated in the section of the paper, and it was only one of the questions. In the last college exam, the test of Xiucai is more strict, and even the people who revise the papers need to prepare a few, and then two people are selected to come out and cross-mark each other, and even the last possible cheating channel will be closed.

Like the first one, Wei Bao's paperweight (black domestic mobile phone) passed the inspection very smoothly, and no one in this era can distinguish what Wei Bao's high-grade paperweight is, and they all think that it is like Wei Bao said, made of Baoyu.

The first judgment stumped Wei Bao, and after a search, Liao Fuzi did not win this question, but took an economic case.

This can make Wei Bao's sweat come out in a hurry, his level, put on the imperial examination field, in fact, he doesn't even have half a bucket of water, and he doesn't have a third of the water.

To be precise, if it weren't for plagiarism, Wei Bao wouldn't even dare to write a sentence.

There must be evidence for such a thing, and every law must be used in comparison with the "Da Ming Law", and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all.

Sweating profusely for more than ten minutes, Wei Bao gritted his teeth and insisted on writing, he couldn't just leave such a big question empty, right? Write down a judgment made by Liao Fuzi that is a little related to this topic on scratch paper.

Then, Wei Bao searched for several articles related to this case in the "Da Ming Law" and "Da Huo", and also copied them on scratch paper.

In the end, Wei Bao substituted these relevant legal provisions into Liao Fuzi's judgment, erased the legal provisions cited in the original judgment, and made a composite product out of this rigid way.

Tossing back and forth like this, an hour has passed, but fortunately, there is plenty of time for the exam.

Wei Bao wiped his sweat and copied the assembled goods neatly on the test paper.

That's when I started to do the next question.

According to what Zu Chun told himself before, Wei Bao chose the edict that few people can write as his answer in the edict, edict, and internal medicine department.

Edict, the meaning of informing, is mostly used for top to bottom. In the pre-Qin era, the orders issued by superiors to subordinates were called edicts. After the Qin and Han dynasties, it specifically referred to the emperor's clerical orders.

"Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji": Li Siyi: "The ministers died with the title of honor, and the king said: 'Emperor Qin's order is called the system', the order is 'edict', and the Son of Heaven is self-proclaimed."

The edicts of the Han Dynasty used edict plates.

The edict of the Tang Dynasty used jute paper.

Edict, edict is also the meaning of edict.

The content of the edict is quite extensive, generally every time the imperial court wants to hold a big event, or the change of dynasty, or the royal wedding and funeral, or the appointment, demotion of officials, etc., the emperor must issue an edict, according to the "Tang Great Edict Collection", "Song Dynasty Edict Collection", its form has changed the Yuan edict, the edict of the honor, the edict, the demotion edict, the crown prince concubine edict, the crown prince edict, the Zen edict, the derogatory edict and so on.

It is a text of admonition. An instrument appointed or gifted by the emperor.

The ancients had a decree up and down, and Qin abolished the ancient system and called the system and edict. In 117 BC (the sixth year of Yuanzhen), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the first edict, but it was not used to order officials.

"The Biography of Dou Xian in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty": "Emperor He ascended the throne, the Queen Mother was in the court, the constitution served in the middle, kept secrets, and issued a decree. "An edict refers to an order issued by the imperial court. Tang weighs the system and does not call it.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the officials were appointed to posthumously give ministers, degrade the guilty, and give their grandfather's wife's room, and those who were not suitable for the court were all used, which was commonly known as the system.

The Ming Commander used the edict.

The reason why few people use edicts and edicts in exams like the government examination is because the candidates have not even officially obtained the qualifications for children, let alone show their talents.

Even Xiucai will not be arrogant enough to think that he is an official, and will write this kind of top-down topic.

That's equivalent to thinking that he can be a super official who helps the emperor write articles on his behalf, who would be so arrogant?

The table is the official to the emperor, and the subordinate to the superior official can also be called the table seal.

Therefore, out of 100 students, 100 choose to write tables.

After all, studying for the imperial examination is to be able to become an official in the future, and being an official requires writing a table.

After Wei Bao chose the genre of the edict, he selected one of the two templates provided by Liao Fuzi and copied it in its original form.

This time the speed was fast, Wei Bao finished copying, and felt that there was still some time, so he copied two sentences from the "Book of Zeng Guofan's Family" and added them at the end of this masterpiece.

Wei Bao thinks that it seems a bit bad to completely copy Liao Fuzi, so he has to have something of his own, right?

Anyway, Zu Chun just said that he would help.

Scholars should first have ambition, second, knowledge, and third. If you have ambitions, you will not be willing to be indecent. If you have knowledge, you will know that there is no end to knowledge, and you dare not be self-sufficient; Such as the river Bo's view of the sea, such as the well frog's peeping into the sky, there is no knowledge. If there is constancy, there is nothing that cannot be done. All three are indispensable.

Don't do things that have long been profitable, and don't go to the place where people are fighting; Don't abandon people's beauty with small evils, don't forget people's kindness with small grudges; It is said that the shortcomings of people are the shortcomings of protecting themselves, and the longs of boasting are the strengths of jealousy; Profit can be shared but not alone, and the few can be few; The mediocre people of ancient and modern times in the world are all defeated by a lazy word, and the talented people of ancient and modern times in the world are defeated by a proud word; Where great things are accomplished, knowledge is the mainstay, talent is supplemented, people seek to live in half, and providence lives in half.

These two sentences were written by Zeng Guofan to the younger generations, encouraging them to study and make progress, and to behave in a good way.

Wei Bao thinks that it should be appropriate to put it in this edict! Because he also represents the emperor and the court, and speaks to the people below.

By the time Wei Bao finished writing, five of the eight candidates had already handed in the papers.

Wei Bao looked at the hourglass used to record time, knew that there was not much time left, and read it from beginning to end, secretly thinking that there was nothing he could do to modify it, so he also raised his hand and handed in the paper.

The difference between the prefectural examination and the county examination and the hospital examination is that the prefectural examination is in the local examination, and within an hour after the examination, the school will be supervised by the school, and the magistrate and the selected master will correct it on the spot, and the results can be announced on the spot!

Wei Bao handed over the papers, packed up his belongings, and exhaled a breath, feeling much more sad than the college entrance examination, the key is that he is not familiar with it at all, secretly thinking that he is really enough, just this bit of ink, and dare to compete with a group of brothers who have read books for more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years?

During the whole process of the exam, Wei Bao did not drink tea or eat snacks, mainly because he was not hungry, and he was also afraid that after he drank tea, the official who had been instructed by Zu Guangyao at the beginning would come over to add tea diligently. When the time comes, beware of being seen cheating by that guy.

"Childe, are you done with the exam?" When Wang Qiuya saw Wei Bao come out, she hurriedly took over Wei Bao's burden containing the four treasures of the study.

Wei Bao took another deep breath and smiled: "This sentence is nonsense. ”

Wang Qiuya smiled: "I'm waiting for the list to open now, I'm so nervous." ”

Wei Bao smiled again: "This sentence is also nonsense, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." ”

Wang Qiuya smiled and spit out her bright red little tongue, looking playful and cute, "I'm still in the mood to joke, it seems that my son did well in the exam." ”

When Wei Bao heard this, he restrained his smile, can it, the devil knows?

He doesn't know what the standard for changing judgments is in this era? Anyway, he knew that the judgment he had pieced together would definitely be unqualified, and he just hoped that as Zu Chuncai said, he would push down other people's expressions and raise his own sentences, so as to bring back the difference!

After this government examination, Wei Bao no longer has the idea that the imperial examination is not like this, thinking that if this one passes, the third examination will be even more difficult, and there is no possibility of changing the paper to 'help', and his heart is even more depressed.

Even if he didn't bet 10,000 taels of silver with Wu Sangui, Wei Bao would also feel depressed, because in his plan, he wanted to take the road of officialdom, but in this era, taking the official road, like modern times, must also pass the examination level by level, if he does not win the exam for ten years or eight years, there is no need to go down this road.

Even if you want to donate to the official by buying officials, you must at least have a title to raise people.

Now it's so hard to take the exam for a child, and Xiucai seems to be a little out of reach, where does Wei Bao dare to underestimate the fame of others?

Thinking of lifting people, I thought that I still had a temporary subordinate Song Yingxing, Song Yingxing was already a lifter, but he didn't get into the Jinshi after taking the exam twice, and now he is doing things under himself in order to continue to stay in the north to prepare for the exam.

Who is Song Yingxing?

In the forty-third year of Wanli (1615), Song Yingxing and his brother Yingsheng went to Nanchang, the provincial capital, to participate in the Yimaoke Township Examination.

Among the more than 10,000 candidates, 30-year-old Song Yingxing won the third place in the province, and his brother ranked sixth.

Only their brothers were among the Fengxin brothers, so they were called "Fengxin Ersong".

Encouraged by the success of the township examination, the Song brothers went to Beijing in the autumn of that year to take the Bingchen branch examination the following year, but they were defeated by Sun Shan.

They decided to try again next time, in order to prepare for the exam, Song Yingsheng, Song Yingxing and others went to the ancient Bailudong Academy in Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province to study, and the master of the academy at that time was the famous Confucian scholar Shu Yuejing.

Song Yingxing is not only knowledgeable, but also learns from everyone! People don't stop at lifting people, can't they go one step further?

Wei Bao knew so clearly because he had learned some basic knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics from Song Yingxing before, and he had also talked to Song Yingxing about scientific examinations.

Song Yingxing is not full of confidence in the scientific examination, he feels that he has enough knowledge, but he is still very unsure about whether he can be admitted, and feels that the scientific examination has a great chance of chance.

After Wei Bao experienced it personally, he affirmed Song Yingxing's view.

"Childe, I just heard that the list can only be released within an hour, and the exam hasn't been completed yet, so why don't we go back first? Just leave someone here to listen to the news. Wang Qiuya saw Wei Bao smile, and she also became nervous, like a fan who was afraid to watch a penalty shootout.

Wei Bao looked indifferent, thought for a while, and said: "It is said that within an hour, just a few people, I think it must be very soon, just wait!" I was even more nervous to go back. ”

Wang Qiuya said empathetically: "It's okay, is the son hungry?" ”

Wei Bao glanced at Zheng Zhongfei, who was still writing hard in the examination room, and suddenly felt that he had come out a little early? casually said: "Don't be hungry, if you're hungry, go back first." ”
