Since the birth of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, the fate of countless literati has been pinned on it (read the full text of the Chronicles of the Last Heroes). The high school student was triumphant and left many excited verses, "No one asked under the window for ten years, and the world knew it in one fell swoop." "The spring breeze is proud, and I see all the Chang'an flowers in one day."

Such a scene seems to be infinitely spring, but the sadness behind it often makes people sigh. Many people are poor and may not be able to pass the test.

Daqi is better in this era, and there is no situation where the seventy or eighty years old came to be admitted to the Jinshi. The oldest is only forty years old. However, it is indeed rare for someone like Song Zheng to take the examination at the age of sixteen.

Song Zheng himself has no sense of pride about this (read the full text of the Imperial Maiden Treasure Book). The point is that this exam venue is simply not a place for people. You have to sleep on the stinking toilet, eat snacks, and try to concentrate on the questions. And in this environment, you have to stay for three days and two nights. What makes Song Zheng feel most amused is that he still found this sin by himself. If he hadn't taken the initiative to take the Wen Jinshi exam, he wouldn't have suffered this hardship.

"The suffering of the imperial examination is the first in the examination supervisor!" Song Zheng read silently.

It was dark, and Song Zheng had finished answering the test questions and put them on the table. He stood up and wrote a poem "Partridge Heavenly Meeting" on the wall, "Tearful eyes look at the praise of officials, fame and fortune are not idle." Floating water sends infinite trees, and buries half of the mountain with rain clouds. The top three things, thousands of things, just because of whether it is joy and sorrow. Jiangtou is not a storm, and it is difficult to travel without examination supervisors. ”

This poem "Partridge Heaven Giving Away", which was originally written by Xin Qiji, was changed by Song Zheng, and it became a word lamenting the imperial examination. Of course, in terms of artistic conception, it is far from Xin Qiji. In the original words, "Jiangtou is not a storm and evil, and it is difficult to walk in the world", but it is a famous sentence that has been sung through the ages.

After some emotion, Song Zheng calmed down a little. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Song Zheng climbed up the small window. That is, he, if he is a different person, even if he has a little kung fu, it is difficult to climb a small window more than a foot high. The window was only a foot and a half square, and Song Zheng poured a soak of urine out of the window in a soft posture that was difficult for ordinary people to do.

After coming down from the window, Song Zheng sat on the futon again and actually practiced the Chunyang spectrum. There was a strange scene in the courtyard, the other examination prisons were brightly lit, and the lifters were still thinking hard about doing a good job in the scriptures, only Song Zheng's examination prison was pitch black, and there was no light all night. As a result, the officials on duty outside opened the small window on the door and looked in several times.

On the second morning, the examination papers were collected, and the historical examination papers were also distributed.

Song Zheng lazily opened the volume, and when he saw the title, he couldn't help but stand up. The title is like this, "Qin II died, Tang II ruled Zhenguan, and Song II was peaceful and prosperous." Why? Let's talk about it! ”

Your mother! Song Zheng scolded. Qin II was Hu Hai, Tang II was Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and Song II was Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi. The first two sentences are still like that, the two generations of emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty are finished, and the Tang Dynasty has appeared in the prosperous era of Zhenguan here to Li Shimin, and the two are comparable (the Animal Legion of the Anti-Japanese War). The problem is that Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, "Taiping Xingguo" is Zhao Guangyi's era name, just like Zhenguan is Li Shimin's era name. However, the rule of Zhenguan is a "prosperous era" of political openness and social stability. And Zhao Guangyi's Taiping Xingguo is not like this, although it was okay at that time, it can never be compared with the rule of Zhenguan in history.

Moreover, "Taiping Xingguo" is only the first of Zhao Guangyi's five era names, and it is no more than nine years long. Historically, this era name is still a bit improper: when Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he changed the "Kaibao" era name of his brother Zhao Kuangyin. Under normal circumstances, the new emperor did not change his yuan until the second year of his accession to the throne.

If you only put Hu Hai and Li Shimin together, it can be regarded as a serious question, and there is a lot to do, but adding a Zhao Guangyi would be nondescript.

The only thing that this topic can connect these three emperors together, except that they are all "second", that is, these three emperors all ascended the throne after killing their elder brothers.

Hu Hai killed his brother Gongzi Fusu; Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, killed his brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji (and robbed Li Yuanji's wife as his wife), whether Zhao Guangyi killed his brother, although there is no record in the official history, but the story of "candle shadow axe" is widely spread. People generally believe that Zhao Guangyi killed his brother.

Song Zheng stood up and thought nervously.

If the meaning of the test question is still a little vague, then the meaning of this historical question is too obvious. What do these people want to do? Do you want to force the rebellious juniper? You know, Xiao Jun still holds the power of the army!

Who wants to stimulate the cypress? Huang Yuandu? Song Zheng shook his head. In the coup d'état that year, Huang Yuandu was the biggest beneficiary. Not only did he become the prime minister, but his grandson also offside and became the emperor, and Huang Jiao also became the queen mother who listened to the government. It can be said that Huang Yuandu has fought for the maximum benefit he can get. At this time, there is really no need to engage in such actions?

The truth of a matter often depends on the ultimate beneficiary. After Gaozong's death, although Xiao Hui was in charge of military power, Huang Yuandu got more. Song Zheng also judged from this that the palace coup d'état that year was jointly carried out by Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu. That's what Ming'er told herself at the beginning. Now, could it be that Huang Yuandu wants to bring up the old things again and put all the pots on Xiao Hui alone?

It shouldn't be, Xiao Hui has a gradual decentralization of power, and Xiao Hui himself is in poor health, Huang Yuandu only needs to be a little patient, and then ease the relationship with Xiao Hui, you can smoothly make the little emperor govern (the latest chapter of the Ten Thousand Crows of the Flood Wilderness). There's no need to force the juniper to death now?

But who is he? When he saw the scripture question yesterday, Song Zheng thought that it might be the little emperor who intervened, but when he saw the historical topic, Song Zheng concluded that this was definitely not what the little emperor meant. The little emperor is not so stupid, at this time to provoke the imperial uncle who can take away his throne. What's more, his own throne was only obtained after Xiao Hui killed the former crown prince, that is, his elder brother Xiao Yan.

Who is it if it's not a little emperor? Who wants Daqi to be a mess of porridge? Could it be that someone from Dajin, Shu or Western Xia did it? It's impossible, their hands can't reach so long no matter what!

"What's going on here!" Song Zheng slammed his fist against the wall.

"Seventeen, be quiet!" The official who was patrolling outside knocked on the small window on the door.

Silence your mother! Song Zheng scolded secretly. He was thinking about whether he would not take the test now, so he went straight to the door, went home first, and moved Song Jue, Zhu and others back to their hometown on Shandong Road. Otherwise, the war will be in chaos, and Jiangning will be in chaos, I don't know what will happen!

After a while, Song Zheng forced himself to calm down.

It doesn't have to be that bad!

Even if there is a move, it is impossible to implement it immediately. The first is that this kind of thing must be fully prepared, and the second is that with his relationship with Xiao Hui and the Imperial City Division, he can hear a little rumor in advance no matter what.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng resettled down and couldn't help but think about the big event he had planned. In particular, if there is a situation in the exam question this time, if there are a large number of poisoned soldiers in the city guards, capital guards and forbidden areas at the same time, what will happen?

First, according to their own assumptions, the Ji family will eventually fall. And there is a matter of this exam question, under the anger of Xiao Juni, I am afraid that the Ji family will be even more miserable, and even the roots will be dug up (Rural Teacher Affair: Absolute Love Read the full text).

Second, he seized the opportunity to go all out to purge the army, and at the same time tighten the military power and return to the road of confrontation between the military and the government.

The third is to rebel against himself as the emperor like the three in the exam questions.

The fourth is to cooperate with Huang Yuandu to find the truth behind the exam questions and dig out the instigators.

……

After thinking about this, Song Zheng's mind was messed up again. It wasn't until an hour later that Song Zheng sat down on the futon and let out a long breath. Because he found that no matter what happened, there was very little he could do to intervene.

The matter of poisoning salt has been done, and there is no possibility of turning back, and Song Zheng doesn't want to turn back. As for whether Xiao Jun rebelled, he didn't want to interfere anymore. Xiao Hui has not been alive for a few years, why should he follow him to "make a revolution". On the little emperor's side, although he got along with his own monarch and ministers, Song Zheng did not have the intention of swearing to serve the little emperor in his head, although he had studied science and was very proficient, but he did not have much loyalty to the monarch.

If Xiao Hui rebelled, maybe even Huang Yuandu and Huang Song would be solved, and he would save himself the trouble of revenge. The only thing that made Song Zheng uncomfortable was that many people had to die in the military. Song Zheng himself has a deep hatred for the troubled times. Not to mention anything else, in troubled times, even his old job of being a thief is not very good.

Of course, Song Zheng was discouraged, and the key was to admit one thing: even if he went out now, he didn't know what to do.

"Fuck it, I can't care so much, answer the question first!" Song Zheng scolded and returned to the exam questions.

Qin II Hu Hai said that the bastards are doing one after another. Li Shimin also said that he had done a lot of good things, otherwise there would be no rule of Zhenguan. And according to the title, Zhao Guangyi should also write in the benefits.

Zhao Guangyi's merits are not good, or the next generation of Mao Taizu would not say that he is a "villain", but if you choose carefully, you have also done a lot of good things (ace ability person txt download). "Opening the book is beneficial" is left by this guy, and the famous sentence "Lu Duan is not confused" also comes from his words.

Since this is the case, Song Zheng knows how to write. By mid-afternoon, Song Zheng successfully handed in the papers.

To Song Zheng's relief, there were no surprises in the following strategies and poems. The strategy test is to write a poem and fu on the topic of "Chu Shui". The difficulty was not great, and Song Zheng successfully completed the exam.

For fear of getting into trouble, Song Zheng wiped all the poems and complaints he had written on the wall in the past two days. Just after October 29, Song Zheng was the first to leave the courtyard and went straight to his home.

As soon as he arrived home, he saw Lu Chun, Xiaobei, Shi Cunbao and others staying in the Song Mansion. Song Zheng met Song Jue and Zhu first. Song Jue just said, "The exam questions are a little weird", and then didn't say anything more. However, Zhu touched Song Zheng's cheek distressedly, and wanted to cook for Song Zheng himself and cook a delicious meal for Song Zheng.

After a busy day, Song Zheng bathed and changed clothes, and then invited a few brothers back to his room.

"Brother Zheng, the Ji family sent someone over to inform that from next month, they want to increase the supply volume of our business and trade house, and mention one-fifth." As soon as he sat down, Xiaobei hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Did they find something? Song Zheng was a little surprised.

"Probably not." Lu Chun said, "We are very hidden, they will never think that we will do anything on military salt." There should be something else going on. ”

"I don't think they're going to be so kind." Song Zheng snorted coldly, "Now that our business has been done, they don't even have a chance to make up for it!" ”

Lu Chun pondered for a while and said, "I think this matter may be related to the eldest prince." ”

"Eldest son, Huang Yue?" Song Zheng frowned. ~
