[Today's second watch, the festival is also very busy, forgive me, book friends, it would be better to give more red tickets]

The county and government examinations in the children's examination are held once a year, and the final hospital examination is held twice every three years. For example, in Guizhou and Yunnan, some years will combine the two-year hospital examination into one year due to factors such as inconvenient transportation. The county examination of Xingui County was held in February of that year, the chief examiner is the Xingui County Order, and after passing the county examination, you can participate in the April government examination, the chief examiner of the government examination is the prefect of Guiyang, this year's government examination is presided over by Sun Chongxian, if you can pass the government examination, you can participate in this year's college examination, and the presiding officer of the hospital examination is naturally the governor of the province, that is, Zhang Rulin. If you pass the hospital examination, you will have a reputation as a student, and you will have the possibility of going further in the township examination.

If you take Wang Xingping's position, if you participate in this year's county examination, it can be said that it is the best, I heard that the county examination of the upstart is relatively simple, and you will not even take the whole eight-strand system, as long as you can solve the problem and undertake the question, the qualification of the government examination is basically in hand, and the full text behind it will not even be carefully checked by the examiner as long as the text is not too deviant. And when it comes to the government examination and the hospital examination, with the recognition and appreciation of Wang Xingping by the two examiners, Wang Xingping is also confident that these two people will never lose their test papers, after all, the scientific examination in Guizhou is not prosperous, and the imperial examination in the past was mostly monopolized by the local clans, but this is a good thing for Wang Xingping, after all, he himself is also a member of these families. Not only is there a Jinshi and a person in the clan, but the teacher and senior brother are also Jinshi and quasi-Jinshi, even if he is a little poor in learning with such a background, I believe that the official will not hesitate to show his talent and fame.

It's a pity that his filial piety is not yet complete and he can't participate in the county examination, and then the county examination of the year after tomorrow, I don't know who the prefect and the school will be replaced by at that time, after all, with today's political performance, until another three years of performance, Zhang Heming will most likely go further, but Sun Chongxian is just a person, it's hard to say, with his age, maybe he will choose Zhishi.

But after thinking about it, it's better not to take the exam now, and now you have to take care of everything yourself, so it's better not to focus on the imperial examination, and wait for another two years for him to lay a solid foundation, and it will be more stable to refer to it at that time, but Yang Wencong gave him a new idea.

"What? You didn't even refer to it? Do you really want to be a military household for the rest of your life? If you don't go to the county house to sign up, it'll be too late. Yang Wencong was a little surprised when he heard that Wang Xingping had no reference.

The registration book for the county examination is also simple, that is, you must present your origin, township, age and other information to the county government's household for filing, but the trouble is that two students are required to give guarantees, and on the day of the county examination, the students must also go to the examination room to check the roll call with the candidates.

Ma Shiying was quite protective of this junior brother, and distinguished for him: "You don't know that the period of filial piety has not yet arrived. ”

"It's all out of Xiaoxiao, and he doesn't care so much about donkeys, it should be expedient, and the emperor is not like this. It's not that there is no reference when you have a small filial piety, and it should be a must to learn with this guy's talent. Yang Wencong looked indifferent, in his mind, Wang Xingping was smart and studious, and he had a lot of whimsical ideas, as for his level of Confucianism, he didn't care.

Keeping filial piety for three years is actually twenty-five months, and the last year is only one month, which is more symbolic, and it is also an expedient for the people to be officially recognized at this time. If the emperor guards filial piety, one day is equal to one month. After a year of filial piety, it can be regarded as a small filial piety, and there are people who have gone to refer to it after a year in the past, as long as they are not found out, they will be fine.

Ma Shiying frowned slightly when she heard this, "Tiancheng also follows the ancestral system, and there is nothing wrong with abiding by filial piety." ”

Wang Xingping screamed for a while in his heart, and he could refer to this matter when he came out of Xiaoxiao, and he only knew when Yang Wencong mentioned him now, that he didn't have to wait until he participated in the imperial examination in the future because of filial piety, and the dead ghost father had no feelings for him, a person who crossed over. But Ma Shiying's words directly blocked him, in the past, both Zhang Rulin and Ma Wenqing were born as Jinshi, and they were teachers, this kind of thing of provoking students to give up filial piety and drill camp examination room will never be mentioned openly, this is also because Wang Xingping is still young, and the elders have the idea of honing his heart. And usually the people in the family don't know about the imperial examination, so naturally they have nothing to say, so only Yang Wencong's temper is straightforward, so he pierced this layer of window paper.

"It's all bullshit, I think if he can get a champion in the exam, he is much more filial than any guard, maybe Uncle Wang will wake up laughing in the coffin."

Yang Shikong is an official in Beijing, Yang Wencong is used to being free and casual, and he usually has no sense of proportion when he jokes, but Wang Xingping is not annoyed, but Ma Shiying is a little unhappy when he hears it, although he likes Yang Wencong's talent, but he is quite serious.

Wang Xingping laughed, "This is about to start the exam, and what Senior Brother Ma said is reasonable, and I have to find someone to sign a guarantee." ”

He prevaricated a little reluctantly, this is to see Yang Wencong here, deliberately handed over a word, even though the affairs are busy now, but it does not prevent him from taking the exam first to feel the atmosphere of the Ming Imperial Examination, he has experienced the college entrance examination in later generations, and the importance of the feeling of presence is obviously clearer than that of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty.

"The two of us are guaranteed tickets, and you can just look at the silver." Yang Wencong had a hippie smile, and he didn't care whether Ma Shiying was willing or not, he first helped this senior brother to accept it, and then said, if the student guarantees the candidate for the candidate, he will receive two or three coins of silver, but the Confucian students in Guizhou are not as good as those rich places, so they usually only have one penny of silver or simply use it in kind to compensate.

Wang Xingping is indispensable, anyway, there will be no problem if he just registers, but he can't take the test after the big deal, and it doesn't matter if he does poorly in the reference test, he still has more time anyway. Even if you wait until the next department to participate, it should be the forty-eighth year of Wanli at that time, and your body is only sixteen years old, and you will still be among the protected persons of the "Law on the Protection of Minors" in later generations.

Thinking of this, he had an idea, and smiled at Ma and Yang to share their thoughts and thoughts.

…………

"So this Wang Xingping really reported for this year's county exam?"

In a village outside Guiyang City, Liu Hongzu listened to Song Siguo's report while closing his eyes and recuperating.

Song Siguo is Song Wanhua's nephew, who does some cattle and horse business in Guiyang City, and is also one of Song's eyeliners in the city.

Song Siguo said: "What Si Yin saw with his own eyes in the county yahu room is the living treasure of the Yang family. ”

"Which one?"

"Who else can there be, that precious son of Yang Hanlin in Beijing."

"It's him." Liu Hongzu frowned when he heard this, obviously he knew about this single-tempered student.

He said lightly: "The boy of the Wang family likes to make friends with reckless people, and this living treasure also follows his temperament, but this time it is thanks to his help." ”

"But the filial piety period has not yet been referred to, there have been a lot of things in the past, just talking about this can not take anything from him, I heard that the relationship between Master Zhang and this son is quite unusual, I am afraid that there will not even be a board at that time."

If fraud is found in the county test and the government test, the candidate is a board, and then the exam paper is shown to the public, but compared to the later exams, this punishment is not heavy, at most three glasses of wine.

"So this has to be sent together with other things, didn't Yongning send someone to Shuidong to ask this kid's heels last time, this time there will be no fewer people in Yongning to try Yongning, and after April, Wang Xingping passed the house test and we just had a problem."

It turns out that although the Yongning Xuanfu Division is located in Sichuan, the examination area has always belonged to Guizhou, and the first two of its children's examinations were held in Yongningwei, but the examination room for the examination of the qualification of students was in Guiyang, because of the low difficulty of the imperial examination in Guizhou, it was because since the Jiajing Dynasty, there were Sichuan people around Yongning and even Huguang Confucian students who impersonated Yongning Weixue Confucian students to refer to in Guiyang, because of this, the local candidates in Guiyang and the candidates in Yongning had a big contradiction. Although the imperial court has strictly ordered to put an end to impersonation, there are still people who want to mix a student in Guizhou by entrusting the identity of Tusi, after all, there is a talent in addition to seeing officials can not kneel and have the benefit of being exempted from taxes and servitude, and although the Ming Dynasty has opened the country so far, the road introduction system has long been in vain, but slightly older businessmen are still willing to have a headscarf to save all kinds of inconveniences on the way to business, the key is that the imperial court is not easy to check the reference of impersonation.

Song Siguo now also understands Liu Hongzu's plan, just a filial piety period has not yet expired Wang Xingping can naturally prevaricate in the past, the big deal is that this year's results are not counted, and there will be a chance to take the exam again next year, anyway, there will be a few years of chance to take the next township exam. But if Wang Xingping passes the county and government examinations and before the college examination reveals the impersonation of the Yongning candidates, and then bundles Wang Xingping's affairs together to publicize it, then the nature of this matter will completely change, and Wang Xingping will almost certainly become the target of the candidates. Officials also want reputation, and this kind of offending the scholar will alarm the imperial court, so it is not the blue eyes of the district governor and the school official who can protect it.

And in this way, I am afraid that Wang Xingping's imperial examination will really be eliminated, and it can be regarded as a fierce revenge.

Song Siguo still has questions, "In the past, there were Yongning candidates attached to each session, except for a few times in Jiajingnian, it has never been found out in the last few decades, how can we guarantee that the Wang family will be involved this time?" ”

Shuidong, Shuixi and the children of the small Tusi everywhere have to study in the Confucianism of Guiyang, which is still thanks to Wang Yangming's extensive education in Guizhou, Zhengde years, the Tusi families around Guiyang have social studies, but now Confucianism is weak, Tusi social science is gradually abandoned, but if it is the inheritance of the Tuguan, the Tusi children still have to learn the etiquette for three months in the government before they can take office.

The county school and the government school, which were originally prepared for students, are no longer only students because of the poor local system, and some heirs of local famous families and Tusi can also be enrolled as long as they are recommended by famous teachers when they have not gained fame, just like Wang Xingping. Moreover, in order to win the hearts of the young people, these Tusi children who entered Confucianism, regardless of their grades, were all supported by the imperial court.

Liu Hongzu smiled disapprenosingly: "You don't know, the Wang family kid offended the luxury family in Sichuan last time, this time I can't say that the luxury Yin will take those Yongning candidates and Wang Xingping to fight together, anyway, they are all candidates who spend money to attach to the family, and they are not their own children, he will not be heartbroken, as for the evidence, no one else has it, his luxury family naturally knows the ins and outs." ”

Song Siguo suddenly said: "I see, the old military division is really far-sighted. ”

"Cheating in the county test and the government test is just a board, and if there is a mistake in the hospital test, it will be banned for six years, which is still generally speaking, if the matter is too big, it is okay to directly send border guards to fill the army." Liu Hongzu was smug as he spoke, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and instructed: "You still have to take care of Hei Yin in this matter, don't go to the candidates in Yongning for some money in this year's college exam." ”

Song Siyin is Song Wanhua's son-in-law, the future heir of Shuidong, so naturally he can't be implicated in this matter, as for those candidates, if they find Shuixi's children, they will kill three birds with one stone.

Song Siguo hurriedly agreed.
