Chapter 56 The Imperial Examination Examiner Dongfang Qiu
Dongfang Qiu took the list and saw that although not all of the above people knew each other.
But those who know have one thing in common.
That is, the fathers and brothers of these people are all middle-level officials of the nine temples and six ministries and even the yamen of the three provinces, that is, the kind of official position is not high.
But there are some officials who have the ability to hold real power and have a lot of room for growth.
King Liang is really far-reaching!
Without this list, there would be no opportunity for him to assist in the imperial examination.
At this point, what else does Dongfang Qiu not understand?
"The prince's eyes are like torches, and since he has seen it and said that it is good, it must be good. If the officials can really help with the examination affairs, they will definitely make the field unrequited."
"Okay, what a 'wild sage'", Wu Sansi looked at Dongfang Qiu and smiled.
"Have you memorized the list, Mr. Dongfang?"
"Ah...... Yes"
Just now, because he wanted to talk to King Liang, Dongfang Qiu didn't look at it carefully after a glance, but at this time, he hurriedly read the list carefully, and after reciting it silently and remembering it in his heart, he respectfully handed the list back to Wu Sansi.
Wu Sansi took it and lit it on the small lamp tree next to Mrs. Zhu.
In a matter of moments, the list was reduced to ashes.
After doing this, when Wu Sansi was about to send off the guests, the dark fragrance floated at the door of the study, and a beautiful woman with infinite charm walked in about thirty.
King Liang's good woman is a well-known thing, and he is also famous for his habit of being a bad girl and a good woman.
Seeing this woman come in, the smile on Wu Sansi's face was a lot more sincere,
"I'll be looking for you later, how did you get here? I'm not afraid of guest jokes."
Knowing that this was Wu Sansi's favorite concubine, Dongfang hurriedly stood up and leaned slightly sideways, showing that he did not dare to face the blasphemy.
"The palace is too big, the courtyard is deep, and the prince will not return to the palace for a long time, this is not because I am afraid that the prince will forget the way to go to the concubine."
The young woman is disgusted and coquettish, and her gestures are charming.
After saying goodbye to Wu Sansi, the young woman turned to Dongfang Qiu, and solemnly made a dignified face-to-face salute. only let Dongfang Qiu hurriedly return the salute, saying that he didn't dare.
"This is the world-famous Oriental bachelor......",
The young woman obviously came prepared, but before she could finish these twisted words, Wu Sansi, who was really tired and wanted to send off the guest, interjected directly.
"That's it, what do you have to do, but to put it bluntly, it's getting late, and it's inconvenient to be tired of Mr. Dongfang who has been in the palace for a long time."
When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped talking, compared with the anger and coquettishness just now, she was really well-behaved and obedient at this moment.
Seeing her like this, Wu San Sifu smiled again, and then took the letter handed by the woman.
After reading the letter at a glance and ten lines, Wu Sansi scolded with a smile.
"What a big breath, you brother really dare to open his mouth. I'm in one hundred and sixty states, and there are no township tribute students in that state to go to Beijing to take the exam? How many Jinshi can be selected in one subject? As soon as he opened his mouth in Qinghe, he asked for four jinshi, and he really wanted the Ministry of Rites to be a merchant shop opened by my Liang Wangfu? ”
After saying this sentence in the end, Wu Sansi realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he smiled again and covered it up.
Dongfang Qiu is now the most sensitive to this place name, and when he heard Qinghe, he naturally remembered Li Xingzhou, but of course he would not say anything about fighting poetry in front of Wu Sansi.
At the same time, he also understood the identity of this favorite concubine.
It is said that there is a Mrs. Cui in the Liang Wangfu who is very favored, so her brother took advantage of the situation to release Qinghe to become a state envoy, and it seems that Mrs. Cui is the one in front of her.
Dongfang Qiu's heart is also relaxed.
There are also many sub-disciplines in the imperial examination, the most honored and the most eye-catching, and the fastest promotion in the future is naturally the Jinshi department.
Jinshi Branch is outstanding, in addition, Ming Jing Branch is the first choice, and then down is Ming Law Branch.
In addition to these three subjects, there are also clear calculations and clear books. Later, Xuanzong even opened the Ming Daoke, and Gao Shi, the banner poet of the Tang Dynasty Biansai Poetry School, was raised at this moment.
All in all, this subject is divided into nearly ten subjects, and the Jinshi Department is unique and noble, but it is also the least number of admissions in this subject, and the largest number of applicants.
As long as you don't make up your mind in this subject, the rest will be much easier to arrange.
Wu Sansi yawned no more obviously, and Dongfang knew the opportunity, and immediately got up and retired.
Walked out of the Liang Wangfu and got into the Xuan car again. Dongfang Qiu's mood has been very different from when he came, and the depression and anger of these days have also been swept away.
With the status of King Liang, with the favor of the Empress Wu to him.
Since he was able to say this tonight, and he also stuffed those two lists, then the matter of Dongfang Qiu's assistant holding the imperial examination is undoubted.
The scientific examination began in the Sui Dynasty, but it was completed in the hands of Wu Zetian as a fixed system for selecting talents. It's just that at this time, the customization has not been long ago, and the various systems of scientific research are not perfect.
For example, the main examination, which is still led by the head of the Ministry of Rites, was not until the Xuanzong Dynasty realized that it was a bit overwhelming to handle such a major event with a five-rank Langzhong, so he changed to the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the affairs.
It's just an assistant, but tonight's trip to King Liang's mansion has made Dongfang Qiu really have the identity of the examiner of today's subject.
O Examiner! Thinking of this, Dongfang Qiu couldn't help but smile.
But after the excitement, he was really a little worried, how to arrange these places, King Liang needless to say here, should the other hot magnates also go to the mansion?
This is a godsend for befriending them!
The night was deep, but Dongfang Qiu's mind was deeper than this dark night.
......
Dongfang Qiu had been waiting for a long time and finally got the summons of Liang Wang Wu Sansi at the same time.
Li Xingzhou was walking on the verandah, but saw a lantern lighting in the third courtyard of the rental office.
This lamp in the dark night is very conspicuous, and it also clearly illuminates the person carrying the lamp.
If everything goes well and he is admitted, he will be an official, and the official position he desperately wants to obtain is not only in Beijing, but also in the palace city under Wu Zetian's nose.
The so-called fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and it was so close to the political center, if he really became an official as he wished.
Can you avoid it like now, and can you avoid the battle for Wu Li's inheritance?
There is no answer to this question, and it is precisely because there is no answer that it makes Li Xingzhou's mind more and more difficult to calm down.
As he was about to finish his walk through the verandah, the heavy clouds in the sky dispersed, and the bright summer moonlight shone down like water.
Li Xingzhou walked slowly into the back garden, and was about to return to the house, but saw a little candle flame in the bamboo forest in the northwest corner of the garden.
Walking leisurely, I didn't go far but I heard the sound of a piano ringing, this is a piano music that I have never heard before, but it has a rare and familiar feeling.
Although he had never heard the piano music, he knew that it was Sister Wei who was playing the piano.
His footsteps became more and more slight, and Li Xingzhou walked to the edge of the bamboo forest.
I saw a stone table and a stone bench set up in the forest.
Wei Hanshuang was wearing the flowing cloud skirt of Shengxue in white clothes and was playing the piano according to the case.
On the stone table, in addition to the ancient relics, there is also an incense burner and a pot of tea.
Gently go in, sit down gently, gently pick up the tea, the piano music is long, sad but not sad, the national handicraft skills, the sound of the royal road.
Li Xing's face was like water, but his heart was turbulent.
For a long time, for a long time, just when the sound of the piano was finished, Li Xingzhou suddenly opened his mouth and howled, and the howling sound was endless for a long time.
Wei Hanshuang looked up, and his eyes were no longer as light as before, but with deep surprise.
It was this surprise that made her a little more human.
"God has been friends for a long time, and it is gratifying to finally see him today. There is no wine in the middle of the night, and the tea is too vegetarian, so I can only congratulate myself with this long howl."
There was a pure smile on the face of the girl in the flowing cloud skirt, blooming like a fleeting epiphany, "You...... Hear that? ”
"If you had played a full piece like this the other day, I would have heard it a long time ago."
"No...... Not too late"
Seeing that the girl was very difficult and seemed to be going to talk about something at length, Li Xingzhou, who had been staring at her eyes, suddenly smiled faintly.
"I know you still have an identity!"
"There are so many mysteries in you, and I don't want to know."
"You must have a purpose in going around a big circle to rectify Zhang Yizhi, I don't ask."
"I don't ask you who you are, and you don't have to tell me"
Wei Hanshuang blinked, and sure enough, he stopped talking.
After a while, Li Xingzhou suddenly spoke again.
"Sister Wei, are you still Sister Wei?"
The smile of purity as an epiphany flashed again.
Looking at her purity without the slightest impurity, the turbulent waves in Li Xingzhou's heart finally slowly calmed down.
"Yes, you are really still Sister Wei, that's enough"
The sound of the piano rose again, and Li Xingzhou held the tea in his hand, leaning against Xiuzhu and slowly closing his eyes.
Let the murmuring sound of the piano flow into my ears and into my heart.
The piano is murmuring, the secluded green fence is green, the bright moon shines in the forest, and the breeze blows me.
Li Xingzhou soon sank into the sound of the piano, leisurely and selfless, peaceful and joyful.
Only two days later, Empress Wu personally issued an edict: Dongfang Qiu went to the assistant office of the Ministry of Rites as a five-grade bachelor to obtain talents.
On the second day after the edict, Dongfang Qiu went to the Ministry of Rites to meet the officials and attendants.
Then he officially began to help with the examination affairs.
The first thing he handled was Yu Youwei's best friend, Lu Pothos's concubine, Langzhong Chen Ping'an, and the scribe sent by Chen Ping'an.
On his first day on the job, the two of them were clearly in the same division, and the distance between the official rooms was less than twenty steps.
This Chen Ping'an refused to show it, which made Dongfang Qiu's mood very uncomfortable.
But compared to this, the four words of Qinghe Li Xingzhou on the supplementary list made him feel even more distressed.
After pondering about this list for a long time, he lifted the cinnabar pen that was dedicated to writing off several times and put it down.
Dongfang Qiu finally picked up the sheep's hair used for writing, and attached his name next to Chen Ping'an's letter of charge at the bottom of the supplementary list.
Half an hour later, the official list of supplementary records was posted outside the Imperial City Xuanren Gate in the form of a decree of the Ministry of Rites.
A total of 64 township tribute students were added to the current section.
The name of Qinghe Li Xingzhou ranks first!
