Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for three years.

These Donglin ministers are the same, they have been planning for several years, but in fact, there is no special movement.

But lately, they have become more and more unbearable with Wei Zhongxian.

Because the process of Wei Zhongxian's seizure of power was suddenly accelerated in the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

"Let Wei Guangwei be the chief examiner, it's really unreasonable!" Zuo Guangdou scolded indignantly: "Such villains, attached to Wei Gelding, deceived superiors and subordinates, and excluded dissidents, what real talent and real learning? We're going to join him! ”

"Yes, join him! The eunuchs must not be allowed to stretch their hands into the scientific examination! The scientific research of the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, if this is also controlled by the eunuch party, in a few years, the world will become the world of the eunuch party, and the whole dynasty will be a villain attached to Wei Eunuch. ”

Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Mingrui, Gu Dazhang and others also said.

The Donglin ministers, who united together to oppose the eunuch party, were filled with righteous indignation.

"The situation is not so bad, isn't there still the deputy chief examiner Zhu Yanxi and Zhu Ge Lao? Zhu Ge is an upright person, and he will definitely be able to withstand the pressure, monitor Wei Guangwei and others, and prevent them from doing anything wrong. Let Zhu Ge Lao be the deputy chief examiner, this must be Your Majesty's intention, it will never be Wei Gelding's intention, since Your Majesty can think of this layer, it means that Your Majesty will never let Wei Eunuch dictatorship go. Yang Lian said.

"But Zhu Ge is the deputy chief examiner after all." Zuo Guangdou sighed and said, "Isn't it Wei Guangwei who has the final say?" I don't know how many students I have to get in this section without real talent and learning, just by currying favor with the students who come up from the eunuch party! ”

"I've wanted to have an interview with Your Majesty for a long time, but I don't have such a good opportunity." Yang Lian persuaded: "We can only wait for the opportunity, Your Majesty trusts Wei Eunuch, unless you meet Your Majesty alone, otherwise just hand over the transcript, I am afraid that the transcript has not yet reached Your Majesty's hands, and it has been torn apart by Wei Eunuch." ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought that this was the case, and they couldn't help but scold Wei Zhongxian's remarks.

"The exam starts tomorrow, let's keep an eye on it! Fraud must not be allowed to be allowed to enter the country with anything that helps fraud, and candidates must not only search carefully, but also prevent someone from writing the answer sheet on their body in advance! After the exam, you should also check the exam papers of those on the list in detail, and you can't let a person who has no real talent and real learning be on the list. Zuo Guangdou said.

And they all said yes.

At dawn the next day, the day of the Ming Dynasty's national lifting of people to try arrived.

The test will be held in three sessions, each of which lasts for three days, and the three sessions are actually next to each other, which is equivalent to one.

The questions of the three-place test are still nothing more than eight strands of essays and questions.

Wei Bao, who has been baptized by so many examinations such as the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, the scientific examination, and the township examination, is actually not nervous.

But Webo still needs to carry a smartphone!

Although with Wei Bao's current level, there are not many problems in answering the questions, but Wei Bao knows very well that if he does not take an open-book exam, it will be difficult for him to avoid typos, and it will be difficult to ensure that his grammar is smooth from beginning to end.

Not to mention this kind of exam, which is all at the level of lifting people, that is, the township test, the county test, the government test, and the hospital test, there are typos and grammatical errors, and it is basically hopeless.

Therefore, the threshold for the imperial examination is not high, and it is a writing essay from beginning to end, which is not very high.

But let's say it's high, it's really high, at the level of the exam, they are the top liberal arts students in all provinces, that essay, in fact, everyone can write flowers, to admit only 300 people out of these thousands of flowers, brush off nine-tenths, there are too many things to test.

is almost equal to 10,000 beauties, all of them are beauties with close to full scores, and 300 beauties must be selected from these beauties, what kind of appearance do they have to choose?

The venue of the examination is in the southeast of the capital of Suncheongongin.

President Wei's subordinates had already changed the exam card for the president early, and so did Wu Sanfu.

The preparation for the exam for both of them was properly handled by their subordinates.

The exam card is equivalent to the modern admission ticket.

In front of the Shuntian Gong Academy, there are crowds, tens of thousands of candidates, plus everyone can't be just one person, there are companions, scholars, and some families, on average, everyone has at least three people with them.

That's tens of thousands.

President Wei's carriage couldn't get in at all, so he could only get out, and he looked up to see if he could see his acquaintances.

But he couldn't find people he knew, such as Song Yingxing, who was from Jiangxi, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, who were from Henan.

"Don't worry, it's just like you usually write articles." Wu Xuexia said to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao smiled.

"What's there to worry about? It's a big deal, it's just that you can't get by. Wu Sanfu looked relaxed: "The only trouble is that you have to stay in the tribute courtyard for nine days, which is worse than being in prison!" ”

"Brother, just bear with it, how many times can you have it in your life? If you hadn't obtained a meritorious service, if you wanted to suffer this sin, I'm afraid you wouldn't have a chance, how many people envy you? Wu Xuexia comforted.

Until this time, Wu Sanfu didn't know that Wei Bao had bribed Wei Zhongxian, and thought that this trip was just for a fight.

"The guilt is small, the key is our level, I know it in my heart." Wu Sanfu sighed: "If it weren't for the fear that you would go home and complain, I wouldn't even want to take the test." ”

Wu Xuexia hurriedly said: "Brother, don't think about it, I went to the temple to ask for a visa for you and Wei Bao before I came, you both must be in high school today, you will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination, you must answer seriously." ”

Wu Sanfu didn't believe it, but he didn't let the girl worry either, and said with a smile: "Xuexia, don't worry!" I promised that I would do it, and the papers would definitely be full! ”

"Well, it's all right! Brother, it will work! Wu Xuexia's bright eyes like a crescent moon smiled and became even more curved.

Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming also said a few auspicious words to Wei Bao, telling Wei Gongzi not to be nervous or anything, he will definitely be able to pass the test.

"Let's go, it seems like it's going to be numbered." Wu Sanfu said to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao nodded, waved goodbye to Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming, and then squeezed in with Wu Sanfu under the escort of Sui Hu.

finally squeezed in front of the fence, Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu met an acquaintance - Zheng Zhongfei.

In today's Liaoxi, the three of them are qualified to refer to the Jinshi, and all three of them came.

If there is one more person who is qualified, that is Liao Fuzi, however, Wei Bao and Zheng Zhongfei know that Liao Fuzi should not come, they are almost sixty years old, even if they pass the Jinshi examination, what can they do?

Can people in their fifties, people who are almost sixty, still give up the huge academy business in Shanhaiguan and go to other places to become a county magistrate?

"Gongzi Wei is good, Second Gongzi Wu is good." Although he wanted to avoid it, he really couldn't avoid it, the three of them were standing together, so Zheng Zhongfei still said hello to Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu.

"Okay, okay, Liaoxi and Liaodong will take the exam for the three of us." Wu Sanfu smiled slightly. Although he knew about Wei Bao and Zheng Zhongfei's past festivals, he didn't take it to heart, Wu Sanfu was such a free and easy person.

Because Wang Qiuya was not by her side at this time, waiting in the carriage, Wei Bao did not have too much embarrassment.

Besides, why should Wei Bao be embarrassed? You Zheng Zhongfei has not had a substance with Wang Qiuya, even if you and Wang Qiuya used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, and now your woman has been snatched by Lao Tzu, you are the one who is embarrassed, okay?

"Among the three of us, I'm afraid only Zheng Gongzi has a chance to be admitted to the Jinshi, and I came to the capital to have a visit." Wei Bo understated.

Zheng Zhongfei was a little proud when he heard Wei Bao say this, he naturally heard how Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu got into making a name for themselves.

Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu took the exam in Liaoyang City alone, and only the matter of the two of them taking the exam had already spread all over Liaoxi and Liaodong, although the vast majority of candidates felt that it was very unfair, why only two people relied on Enke,

But everyone has no choice, who makes Wei Bao powerful and has the ability to take Liaonan?

Moreover, to instigate the additional examination, how big a network is this? That's going to go to heaven!

Such an opportunity can only be enjoyed by people of power like Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu.

Therefore, although almost all the students in Liaoxi and Liaodong felt that it was very unfair, they did not make any trouble.

If this incident happens in the south, the students in a province add up to hundreds of thousands, don't say it, any big southern province, the number of people is counted by hundreds of people and hundreds of people for a unit, then there will definitely be trouble.

"Wei Gongzi is too humble, you and Wu Gongzi are the same people, everyone has a chance, but I don't have a bottom in my heart, who knows what I can do in the exam?" Zheng Zhongfei was proud in his heart, but he was very modest: "This trip should come to see it, my father is already quite satisfied with being able to pass the exam." ”

"If you can lift someone in the exam, your father's anger should be smooth, right? There is a person in the family, but it is much more majestic than being a small captain in the township! Even if you can't pass the Jinshi exam, you can ask your father to donate an official position to you. Wei Bao answered.

Wei Bao, in general, is still very angry, although he had a lot of trouble with the Zheng family at the beginning and was almost driven out of the township, but after all, the Zheng family did not do it.

And he really expelled the Zheng family from his hometown, so what happened before, in fact, he won.

has to be forgiving and forgiving, so when Wei Bao faces Zheng Zhongfei again, he is not very angry.

Zheng Zhongfei heard Wei Bao say this, the feeling in his heart was a little strange, he heard Wei Bao say this, in fact, there was no malice, and even some thought about him, but I don't know why, he just felt uncomfortable, secretly do you know that Lao Tzu can't get into the Jinshi? Lao Tzu just wants to take a test for you!

Zheng Zhongfei is not a person who doesn't know the sky and the earth, he used to be a gentleman in the township and didn't want to make progress, but since the rise of Wei Bao, his family left Benjia and went to live in Shanhaiguan, but it seems to have inspired Zheng Zhongfei's small universe all of a sudden, and his studies have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Zheng Zhongfei has the capital to be proud, and he has the capital to look forward to a higher fame and social status.

Wu Sanfu saw that Zheng Zhongfei didn't answer Wei Bao's words, and smiled at Wei Bao: "Xiaobao, I'm afraid that Zheng Gongzi is thinking that it is appropriate for him to say this to us." We should try to donate an official after failing to pass the Jinshi examination, and if he fails in this subject, he will be successful in the next subject! ”

"No, no, Second Master Wu, I really didn't think so." Zheng Zhongfei hurriedly argued.

Wei Bao glanced at Zheng Zhongfei, smiled, and didn't say anything.

With Wei Bao's current strength, if you want to engage Zheng Zhongfei, you can do it horizontally, vertically, standingly, lying down, whatever you want.

Zheng Zhongfei didn't even have room for a backhand.

Therefore, Wei Bao, who is high above, will not be emotionally affected by a person whose status is so much worse than himself, but feels that it is very good to have Zheng Zhongfei and can be used as a reference.

Wei Bao thought to himself, if he was not reborn as a giant, but a real Ming Dynasty boy, the gap between him and Zheng Zhongfei, who had a small amount of money and was very smart, would never be able to make up for it.

After a while, the door official verified the identities of several people, and let Wei Bao, Zheng Zhongfei and Wu Sanfu enter the queue to wait for the exam.

The three of them followed the many people of Beizhili, because although Liaoxi and Liaodong are an independent block, the number of people is too small, and they can't give the three of them an independent examination room.

All of you have gone through the county test, the government test, the hospital test, and the township test.

Therefore, people know everything about the procedures of queuing, and they wait in line for the exam step by step.

Compared with the chaos outside the Tribute Courtyard, although there are many people in the Tribute Courtyard, the order is very good, much like some high-end places in modern times.

Not only is the order good, everyone seems to be very polite, chatting back and forth from time to time, and those who can line up together are all in the same year, the relationship between fellow villagers.

In the officialdom, the same year as the same countryman is the two big relationships that can best connect the relationship.

Therefore, many people are engaged in public relations now.

Of course, this is only a part of the people, more than half of them are still nervous about the upcoming big test, more than ten years, or even decades of hard work, will be verified, how not to be nervous?

There are not as many people in the north as in the south of the country, and there are quite a few, there are four or five hundred people!

Wei Bao, Zheng Zhongfei and Wu Sanfu were among the more than 400 people.

There were a few students from Beizhili before and after chatting with Wei Bao, Zheng Zhongfei and Wu Sanfu, Wei Bao and Zheng Zhongfei were better, Wu Sanfu was happy, took out communication methods, and said spittle, and met dozens of friends at once.

Wei Bao was secretly funny, secretly thinking that if it weren't for his own rebirth that affected Wu Sanfu's fate and changed Wu Sanfu's fate, he should be just a gentleman with a better mentality, and he wouldn't have any great achievements, so it's really hard to say now.

People before and after heard that Wu Sanfu is the son of the Wu family in western Liaoning, although the Wu family's reputation in the customs is not big, but there are also many unknown families, many of these people are the children of official eunuchs, and they are more enthusiastic about Wu Sanfu.

Wu Sanfu was even more happy, and made a death date with everyone, I can't wait for everyone to stop taking the exam, and now go to the Qinglou to have a good time and have a good drink.

It wasn't until the entire Daming Dynasty that nearly 10,000 candidates had entered, and President Wei was shocked by this spectacular scene.

It feels like when you enter a big concert, most of the people are well-dressed.

The social hierarchy can also be seen here.

It's not that there are no noble sons from poor families, very few.

Most of the families who can be admitted to the lifting of people are at least very good in the local area, at least at the level of middle peasants and rich peasants, and more than half of them are young masters of landlords' families.

Never say anything about the rich second generation not being able to catch up with the poor second generation, what does not exist, the social resources enjoyed by the two are very different.

Everyone is ready, and the two examiners for this examination, Wei Guangwei, the chief examiner, and Zhu Yanxi, the deputy chief examiner, have also arrived.

In addition, Lord Yang Lian, the left deputy capital, also brought hundreds of Donglin ministers to come to 'volunteer invigilation'.

Of course, they are not qualified to enter the inside, there is a system, you want to volunteer to help, and you will not let anyone in casually, wait a minute, who knows if you are an invigilator or want to help cheat?

Yang Lian and Lord Zuo Guangdou not only monitored the candidates, but also monitored the officers in the examination room, most of whom were the clerks of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, as well as some officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Inspectorate.

There is even a fan battle of the East Factory.

Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou have already checked all the people who need to be supervised in the examination room in advance, except for Wei Guangwei and Zhu Yanxi, and even searched every invigilator!

Candidates are not allowed to bring cheating things, and the examiners are naturally not allowed to bring them.

This makes Wei Bao feel very novel, and he also thinks it makes sense, for thousands of years, the invigilator has only supervised the candidates, and he should have supervised it together with the examiner.

President Wei saw an acquaintance, Xiong Wencan from the Ministry of Rites, Xiong Wencan appeared when Wei Bao was taking the Xiucai and the examiner.

Xiong Wencan was still a petty official in charge of the Ministry of Rites at this time, but after all, he was an official, so he couldn't escape the fate of being searched.

The little old man looked obviously unhappy, but he didn't resist.

Wei Guangwei looked at all this, his face was blue, and he felt that these Donglin ministers had gone too far, as the chief examiner, you can do whatever you want, don't you even say hello?

However, Wei Guangwei resisted the theory with these Donglin ministers, although he was already attached to Wei Zhongxian, he was not very tough on the surface, and rarely took the initiative to confront the Donglin ministers.

In the past, the body was also searched in the scientific examination, but the body was searched by the invigilator, and the body of the candidate was searched before entering the venue.

Now it's okay, a large group of Donglin ministers will first search the invigilator's body, and then search the candidate's body, and when they will enter the infield, they will be searched again.

"What the hell? What are these people doing? Although Wu Sanfu did not carry cheating tools, he was still very disgusted by the behavior of these Donglin ministers, and felt that they were nosy with rats.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, don't make trouble, Brother Sanfu." Wei Bao said softly to Wu Sanfu.

Wei Bao is naturally not afraid of any Donglin minister, but he can not cause trouble and try not to cause trouble, this is Wei Bao's consistent attitude.

Many cheat sheets were found, and there were endless types of cheat sheets, some hidden in the sleeves, in the placket, and some written directly on the body.

There are also various kinds of wax pills hidden in wax pills, pre-wrapped in the mouth, which are found out by opening the mouth, hidden in the hair, and found out by opening the hair.

The candidates who found out that there was a problem and were ready to cheat were invited out by these Donglin ministers who were 'obligated to invigilate' at that time.

"You're not an invigilator, what are you doing?"

There are candidates who resist.

Minister Donglin, who was 'obligated to invigilate', said coldly: "What? Isn't it to cheat by bringing these things? Still want to quarrel? Come on, please come from the Criminal Department! ”

As soon as the candidates who resisted heard that they had invited people from the Criminal Department to come, everyone knew what the prison of the Criminal Department was like, and no one dared to speak up.

Nearly 10,000 people suddenly decreased by more than 20%, and became about 7,000 people.

Not only check cheating, but also check the test.

It is also difficult to grasp the proxy test, because in ancient times, there was no image data, all based on the physiognomy characteristics recorded on the exam card to identify, and then let the candidates memorize their own family information, local officials, the information of the examiner who came all the way to the exam, and the teacher who taught the course.

In such a stressful environment, if you make a mistake, you will be caught, suspected, and then found out.

In this way, there were more than 1,000 fewer candidates, and only about 6,000 candidates remained.

The exam was supposed to start in the middle of the morning, but it didn't end until the hour passed.

"What are you?"

After Wei Bao had recited his personal information, a Donglin minister searched his belongings again.

Wei Bao was a little impatient, "Didn't you ask just now?" This is my paperweight, what's the problem!? The South Sea black jade material is extremely valuable, and it is broken, 200,000 taels of silver! ”

200,000 taels of silver?

But it didn't scare the Donglin minister, and said coldly: "This thing is suspected of cheating, and it is not allowed to be brought into the examination room!" ”

"Rub, why? You tell me clearly, how does this thing cheat? Otherwise I'm going to accuse you of insulting me! "Wei Bao is not angry, he is wearing a golden wrench given by Wei Zhongxian on his hand at this time, are you still afraid of you as a minister of Donglin? And look at the person's official uniform, that is, the six-grade official of the Inspectorate, how big an official is it?

"That's right! How this thing cheats, you make it clear! Otherwise, I'm going to sue you too, accuse you of insulting! "In the end, he is a good brother, at the critical moment, Wu Sanfu is really willing to go.

When the people next to them heard the quarrel, their eyes were focused on Wei Bao's smartphone, which was full of various eight-strand documents.

Wei Bao is not in a panic, the hospital test, the county test, the government test, the township test, the science test, he came all the way, there is this mobile phone accompanied, at this time the mobile phone is turned off, he doesn't believe it, there are still people in ancient times who have the ability to turn on the phone?

Originally, after checking it for the first time, some people had looked at Wei Bao's mobile phone at first, and Wei Bao saw that the Donglin minister didn't say anything before, and thought it was okay.

After all, how many times has he brought his mobile phone, and he must bring it to every exam, and he is used to it, so why is he still afraid?

The voice of the dispute attracted ministers such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou.

Zuo Guangdou picked up his phone and looked at it: "Why is your paperweight so weird?" Can't bring it! Let people buy a paperweight! ”
