A trace of annoyance flashed in Zhang Licheng's eyes, and this kind of change had happened in the already stable matter, and he suddenly fell silent and kept silent.

Liu Jianhou waited for a few breaths, and saw that Zhang Licheng didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, so he put down the teacup and urged with some impatience: "It's not too early, there must be an explanation for this matter today, does Governor Zhang still have any concerns?" ”

Hey, Zhang Licheng sighed in his heart, knowing that his goal could not be achieved, he said slowly: "Since Liu Yushi has already spoken, it is natural to handle it accordingly, Zhang Zhixian, it is up to you to solve the problem." ”

"The lower officials obey the order", Zhang Gaoxuan didn't wait for Zhang Licheng to finish speaking, and immediately took over with a smile.

"The lower officials think that the title of 'a gentleman who is not important is not prestigious, learning is not solid, the lord is faithful, and those who have no friends are not as good as themselves, if they are too bad, don't be afraid to change', I don't know what the two superiors think?"

Liu Jianhou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "A gentleman's journey begins at the moment, and this topic is in line with this scene, Zhang Zhixian has a deep foundation in craftsmanship, Brother Weixin, what do you think?" ”

Where does Zhang Licheng still have the heart to care about these now, he just nodded with a straight face and said, "It's not bad." ”

Liu Jianhou immediately slapped his face and ordered: "That's it, Zhang Zhixian, do you think you can sing Bao?" ”

"Come on, let's sing the guarantee." , The corners of Zhang Gaoxuan's mouth raised, and he commanded loudly.

"Yes"

With Shangguan's orders, Zhou Liangcai and the other guarantors immediately walked into the courtyard from the side hall, and someone led them to stand behind Zhang Licheng, Zhang Gaoxuan and others.

When the personnel arrived, Zhang Gaoxuan immediately stood up and shouted: "All the students worship the ancestor with me." ”

Liu Jianhou and the others and many students in the courtyard all turned to look at the Dacheng Holy Ancestor in the hall, and followed Zhang Gaoxuan to bow three times.

"After the ceremony, the county announced that the trial in Yihaike County, Nanchong County will start now, and all living beings will sing and protect."

A cadre of officials at the entrance of the hall immediately began to count and check by name.

Liu Ximing quietly watched the named students enter the hall, and when he heard Zhang Gaoxuan read "Liu Ximing, a student of the top five students in the seven capitals", he immediately walked quickly towards the hall.

In the hall, Liu Jianhou stared at his tea cup as if he didn't know him and just drank tea, and the clerk next to him saw Liu Ximing enter the hall, immediately looked at the paperwork in his hand, and shouted: "Zhou Liang is guaranteed." ”

Zhou Liangcai also immediately answered and shouted: "It is indeed protected by Zhou Liangcai." ”

Another clerk immediately sketched on the booklet in his hand, and handed Liu Ximing a blank exam paper with the seat number written on the letterhead.

"Go down and sit according to the seat number."

Although Liu Jianhou looked like he was not allowed to enter, Liu Ximing's heart settled down, he smiled slightly, took the exam paper, and put it aside

Under the guidance of the officer, he went down to the examination booth and sat down.

The examination booth is made of bamboo and wood, which does not look very strong, but fortunately, the weather is sunny these days, but there is no risk that the test papers will be wet by the rain.

After Liu Ximing sat down, he secretly took out a new pair of four treasures of the study from the space, replaced the set destroyed by Li Yong, and at the same time wrote down the information of the candidates approved by the county middle school room one by one on the header.

After a while, the candidates finished counting and singing, and the two officials carried a sign with the questions of this subject written on it.

A servant took a gong and struck it a few times, walked in front and read it aloud: "The question of the Jinke County examination is: If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful, he is not solid in learning, the lord is faithful, and those who have no friends are not as good as themselves, and if they pass, they should not be afraid to change."

The three men kept walking around the examination room carrying the test signs and reading them, making sure that every scholar saw and heard them before returning to the front of the hall to stand.

"If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be ......", Liu Ximing silently read the test questions in his heart, and immediately recalled this sentence from "The Analects? Learn While.

He pondered for a while, and when most of the people began to write, he slowly wrote at the beginning: "A gentleman is a learner, and he must do his best to ......

Thanks to the help of the space spiritual water, and the continuous hard reading during this time, Liu Ximing seems to be thinking like a spring at the moment, and he writes down his thoughts and thoughts like a fly.

There was silence in the entire examination room, except for the faint sound of students turning paper and grinding ink.

On the other hand, there was another scene in the hall, Liu Jianhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, and saw Zhang Licheng looking uneasy, his eyes rolled around, thinking that if he was allowed to stay here like this, I am afraid that there would be waves.

He immediately put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Brother Weixin's face is not very good, but he is not feeling well?" At this moment, the courtyard door is locked, and it is not allowed to open the door halfway as usual, so why don't you go to the back hall to rest and rest? ”

Zhang Licheng immediately sat upright, "Thank you Brother Deyuan for your concern, I just think of the trivial matters in the house, and it won't get in the way." ”

"Hahaha, where is this still not in the way, Zhang Zhixian, come and see Governor Zhang's complexion, should he go to rest and rest."

Liu Jianhou didn't plan to let him go so simply, and immediately pulled Zhang Gaoxuan to run together.

Of course, Zhang Gaoxuan hopes that Zhang Licheng and Liu Jianhou will get as far away as possible, and now that Liu Jianhou can't get away, it's good to let Zhang Licheng get out.

As for whether he will offend Zhang Licheng by saying this, hehe, this matter is his injustice first, if he really doesn't say a word, but is seen clearly by others, do you really think that you don't have a temper.

"Xiaguan looked at it too, the face of the mansion was like a moon, and his forehead was covered with light sweat, obviously he was unwell, so he should go to the back hall to rest and rest."

Without waiting for Zhang Licheng to refuse, Zhang Gaoxuan continued: "Although the lower officials know that Fuzun cares about the culture and education of the county, even if he is diligent in the affairs of the king, he should think of himself. However, if something happens to Fuzun, I'm afraid that the county test will be laughed at and generous. ”

Zhang Gaoxuan's words with a gun and a stick really hit Zhang Licheng's acupuncture points, if Liu Jianhou didn't come, Zhang Licheng's intervention in the county test as the prefect could barely be justified.

Now that you have the Qin Order Imperial Shi to inspect on behalf of the sky, what qualifications do you have as a magistrate to sit here and point fingers, if you really force Liu Jianhou to say something serious, I don't know if this county test will be ridiculous and generous, but you Zhang Licheng can obviously only run back in disgrace and make a joke in vain.

Sure enough, Zhang Licheng listened to Zhang Gaoxuan's words, his face turned blue and red for a while, changed a few times, then stood up lightly and said to Liu Jianhou: "What Brother Deyuan said is that the so-called stay in the green mountains is not worried about running out of firewood, so the official will go to rest first." ”

Liu Jianhou and Zhang Gaoxuan showed expressions of concern on their faces, and watched Zhang Licheng walk towards the back hall.

"Fuli", and when Zhang Licheng walked away, Liu Jianhou waved his hand to the side to signal the others to step back, and continued to pick up the teacup and taste the tea, while calling Zhang Gaoxuan's expression.

"Your new official has taken office, how do you grasp the county situation?"

Zhang Gaoxuan was shocked, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the county has been peaceful recently, and there are also stable places for officials and gentry everywhere, and all affairs in the county are being carried out step by step." ”

"Oh? How did the official see it, but it is very different from what Fuli said, since Chongzhen eight years ago, three or four bandits have been reported in various places, and you still say that it is peaceful? ”

Liu Jianhou still said tepidly.

"Boom"

Zhang Gaoxuan felt like a thunderbolt in his heart, he panicked all of a sudden, and immediately stood up from his chair and knelt down and bowed: "Back to the point, the lower officials are not deliberately concealing the report, it is really Nanchong County is located in the important area, and there are a lot of idle people coming and going, plus the county officials are full of powerful and powerful gentry, and the position of the lower officials is also in the way everywhere, not to mention anything else, it is a little difficult for the people of several inspection departments to be sent, not to mention others." ”

"Hmph", Liu Jianhou put the teacup on the table next to him, "If you can't even command the people in the county, then you are ineffective and incompetent, shouldn't this official be more involved in you, and save you from this official robe!" ”

"Pointing directly at forgiveness, pointing directly at forgiveness, subordinate officials, subordinate officials ......", Zhang Gaoxuan was reprimanded by Liu Jianhou, and he was so frightened that his words were a little unfavorable, and he didn't hold back a high-sounding reason.

Liu Jianhou couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Gaoxuan's appearance, looking at this appearance, he should be a good learner, so he didn't worry about his disobedience.
