Politely sent away the 'messengers' sent by various bigwig-level figures one by one, Wang Junlin sighed, and finally couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Yang Jian asked me to take this errand, did he want me to be a lonely minister?" Isn't he afraid that I will take the opportunity to trade power and emotions with various gate lords and nobles and various forces? ”

"Have they forgotten that I am the superintendent of the imperial history, the chief supervisor of this autumn test, and they still come to my mansion so blatantly?" After a while, Wang Junlin sighed again: "These notes are the evidence of their favoritism and fraud, and when they are sent to me, they are too bold." ”

said so, but Wang Junlin had a wry smile and helplessness on his face, the people who sent him the note at present were all people who had a close relationship with him, and they seemed to be characters he couldn't refuse, let alone use it as evidence of his crime.

"So I can only go with the flow?" Wang Junlin frowned slightly, he really didn't expect that the Great Sui had just been established for more than 20 years, and the officialdom had been corrupted to such an extent, when he thought of those poor scholars who had studied hard for more than ten years, trying to get ahead, and being able to serve the court and the Son of Heaven, and living hard, although Wang Junlin had begun to have ambitions, he still couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

……

In the past month, Gao Ying has been arguing for a long time with Zhou Chengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and four famous Confucians for the sake of the examination questions, and it was not until yesterday that the topic of the policy discussion was given.

After all, this is the first imperial examination of the Chinese Dynasty since the beginning of the world, and it is the first ceremony that the Great Sui Emperor has planned and worked hard for many years, and finally took advantage of the situation to personally arrange the first talent ceremony, although it is only a little more than a month to prepare, but the whole world of scholars is staring, and no one dares to ignore it. The setting of the topic is related to all aspects. For example, the direction that the emperor has been concerned about recently, the most urgent issues to be considered by the Great Sui, and so on.

Everything looked sacred and serious, without the backlash of the various aristocratic gatekeepers that Yang Jian and a few loyal people feared, and there was no collective opposition from the courtiers as before. This made Yang Jian completely relieved, but at the same time, he faintly felt a little uneasy.

His arrangement of Gao Ying, Wang Junlin, and Zhou Chengyan to be in charge of the autumn examination of the imperial examination was carefully considered.

Gao Ying naturally represents his eldest son Yang Yong, who has a somewhat feminine personality, and Zhou Chengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the nephew of Dugu Gate Valve, although he has never shown his preference for anyone, but Yang Jian knows that he is already his ruthless and decisive second son Yang Guang. Whether he wants it or not, the courtiers have quietly made a choice, although as an emperor, he is extremely angry when he thinks of this matter in his heart, but after all, it is Queen Dugu's two sons who left him, what can he do? The throne and the world will always be inherited by one of the two of them.

Gao Ying and Zhou Chengyan, who are destined not to get along, will supervise each other, which can prevent favoritism and fraud to a certain extent, and letting Wang Junlin get involved in it is his own genius in Yang Jian's opinion.

Gao Ying and Yang Yong can both feel the pride in Wang Junlin's bones, how can Yang Jian not see that the most important thing is that Wang Junlin is not from a noble background, and he is not a fellow traveler with various gate valve families.

Therefore, in Yang Jian's opinion, no matter how Wang Junlin usually hides it, he will definitely not be in the same stream as others, especially after he learned that Wang Junlin secretly spent money to help those poor scholars who almost begged and waited to take the exam.

However, who knows what will happen to the king?..

……

……

As soon as he got up from his bed, the servant who had been sent to serve him brought a washbasin and a handkerchief and green salt. Looking at the clumsiness of the little official, Zhou Chengyan missed the pair of twin sisters at home who spent the evening serving comfortably and the gentle and considerate service in the morning.

If he was the chief examiner, it would be fine, now he is Gao Ying's deputy, in order to prevent the people involved in the question from leaking the questions, Yang Jian personally ordered a few of them to be locked in the temporary examination hall for more than half a month, living this life that is inconvenient to do, Zhou Chengyan is already very tired. Although today is the day of the exam, it will take a long time to be liberated.

……

……

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, the first imperial examination of the Chinese feudal dynasty officially began, regardless of the final result, it can be described as of great significance.

Compared with the selection system of hereditary and recommended materials, the imperial examination can be participated in regardless of origin, rich or poor. This not only greatly broadened the basis for the imperial court to select talents, but also gave the poor people in the middle and lower strata of society the opportunity to flow to the upper echelons of society through scientific examinations, which will inevitably play a considerable role in maintaining the stability of the whole society.

Although the first opening of the Great Sui was due to the tight time, and the number of scholars in this era was far less than that of the Tang and Song dynasties, in just one month, after the selection and assessment of various states, counties, and counties, there were still nearly 3,000 people who could participate in the final autumn examination of the imperial court.

The nearly 3,000 scholars, dressed in old and new robes, walked nervously, excitedly, or in a panic to the temporary examination hall set up by the Ministry of Rites, looking like carp desperately drilling into a small fish basket.

……

……

The day before the exam, that is, yesterday Wang Junlin and Gao Ying, Zhou Chengyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the two deputy examiners, the five promoted held a coordination and deployment meeting.

Early in the morning, the officials of the Ministry of Rites found a luxurious-looking Taishi chair from somewhere, and rested it on the left side of the gate of the examination institute, Wang Junlin sat lazily on this chair, and on his left stood the four officers of the Ministry of Rites, and on the right sat the officials sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory, these people were nominally assisting Wang Junlin in supervising the entire examination.

And behind Wang Junlin, there was Niu Jinda, who was like a black god of the iron tower, except for Wang Junlin, who didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes were a little strange, everyone watched these candidates walk in front of him with cold eyes.

The examinees walked in front of Wang Junlin, both young and old, all saluted respectfully with a fearful face, and those who were timid even trembled with their legs.

There are two reasons why this is the case, one is that Wang Junlin himself has a poisonous and murderous reputation; The second is to fear and respect the duty that King Lam has to bear in the examination, which is enough to determine the fate of many of them.

Without Wang Junlin's orders, several officials of the Ministry of Rites opened the curtain with excitement and arrogance, and began to search every candidate who entered, strictly preventing students from bringing prohibited items into the room.

Wang Junlin took a sip of tea, looking at these students who were carrying bedding and eating on the toilet, like the great migrant workers of later generations, and couldn't help but sigh with some emotion.

At this time, he suddenly saw a student who had been inspected by the official and showed that there was no problem was about to enter, and he didn't know what he found, so he couldn't help but smile and shouted softly: "Wait a minute! ”

There was an instant silence at the entrance of the examination hall, everyone looked at the famous Qin Anhou, most of the candidates' eyes were timid, and the officials and officials flashed their eyes, and after glancing at Wang Junlin, they all looked at the candidates who were shouted to stop by Wang Junlin.

This candidate is quite handsome, but his skin is a little dark and rough, but his eyes are very bright, and he is carrying a mess of bedding and wearing a white-washed long shirt at this time, which is a typical poor student.

"Master Hou, what do you command?" The official of the Ministry of Rites who led the inspection hurriedly ran to Wang Junlin with a respectful face to ask for instructions.

Wang Junlin glanced at him and asked lightly, "Have you checked it?" ”

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory said at the same time: "It has been checked, and there is nothing unusual. ”

The student looked up at the young Qin Anhou with a calm face and no trace of panic.

Wang Junlin frowned slightly, and then asked, "Are you sure there is nothing unusual?" ”

"Yes, Master Hou." The official of the Ministry of Rites and the official of the Imperial Observatory glanced at each other, and the official of the Ministry of Rites said in a low voice.

Wang Junlin suddenly got up from the Taishi's chair and walked next to the calm-looking student, who hurriedly bowed respectfully to him: "Student Fang Qiao greets Qin Anhou. ”

Everyone saw that although this scholar was nervous in the face of Wang Jun, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and secretly praised this son in their hearts, regardless of whether he had real talent and learning, just this attitude of not changing his face in the face of poisonous generals is not bad.

Wang Junlin looked at him twice, suddenly laughed, and whispered in his ear, "There is something wrong with your clothes. ”

His voice was very small, so only this student named Fang Qiao heard it, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Fang Qiao's forehead, he was from Qizhou, although he was born in a poor family, he was quite famous in his hometown. Originally, with his talent, he also had a certain amount of confidence without any entrainment, but these days, seeing that everyone else is making all kinds of preparations, he is a little less confident, so he also prepared entrainment with the crowd.

In order to prevent the entrainment from being discovered this month, he has taken great pains to think of various methods, thinking that absolutely no one will be able to find out, and in fact, those officials and other officials next to him did not find his entrainment just now.

But I don't know how this Qin Anhou, who is famous for his fierceness and poison, discovered his secret, under Wang Junlin's quiet gaze, his previously praised and steady bearing could not help but have a tendency to collapse at this time, after all, a young man who was only in his twenties, when he thought of his hard work for more than ten years, and saw that the long-awaited opportunity was about to come to naught, his eyes instantly turned red, and his face was desperate.

Wang Junlin suddenly remembered his own experience in the afterlife, looked at the begging eyes of the young man in front of him, sighed in his heart, and suddenly said with some emotion: "It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, if I act impartially at this time, your ten years of hard work will be wasted." I can give you a chance, but you must remember that in the two days of the examination hall, you must not let me find out that you have cheated on any of you, otherwise it will not be as simple as not passing the exam. ”
