As usual, Chang Yuan sat in the courtyard with a book in his hand, discussing his knowledge with several young people who lived here.

It's just that the atmosphere of today's discussion is a little tense and uneasy, and everyone's minds are no longer on books.

"I don't know if we are fortunate enough to be elected to Xinfeng as a ......" An eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man finally couldn't help but stir up the topic: "It would be nice if we could get what we wanted......"

"yes......" the others said.

This Xinfeng public examination, in fact, few people paid attention to it at the beginning.

What really aroused people's enthusiasm was the shock caused by the assassination of Zhang Zizhong, the official of the Xinfeng Order.

The whole Guanzhong knows that Xinfeng's county order is a mid-serve officer, and this mid-level officer can also capture and kill all of them.

Such exciting news attracted everyone's attention firmly.

Then, everyone found out that Xinfeng did not just have a lieutenant official as a county commander.

What's even more terrifying is - the eldest grandson of the Son of Heaven ordered Shiyi Xinfeng!

And with these two pieces of news coming to everyone's ears together, there is also the grand wish made by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in Jianzhang Palace.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth!

Make a life for the people!

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!

Open peace for all generations!

As soon as the scholars and doctors heard this, they immediately had their blood in their blood, and they screamed like chicken blood: The country has the eldest grandson, and the society is hopeful!

Even the backbone of the Han family, as rulers, and the military nobles who held the authority, all said in private: The eldest grandson is really a seed!

It is said that even the Son of Heaven praised when he heard it: The eldest grandson can be the weight of the temple!

It was the existence of this sentence that stimulated everyone and their respective parents to immediately rush to Xinfeng to participate in the public examination.

Because, as long as you are not a fool, you can see it.

The rise of the eldest grandson is almost unstoppable.

Even...... Perhaps, in the future, the crown prince will be honored as the emperor, and he will be edicted, ascend the throne and be the emperor, and face the north.

Even if he can't, before today's womb Che Yan drives, it is very likely that he will be directly ordered to be the emperor's grandson.

Countless court rumors have also confirmed this possibility.

In other words, the officials admitted to this public examination may have the opportunity to compete for the qualifications of the future imperial prince, close ministers, and even important ministers in the future!

That's amazing!

Ministers of the Hidden Mansion, each of them is a 2,000 stone alternative!

Today, as long as the ministers at the time of the Qiandi can survive to Yuanguang, there is no one who is not two thousand stones.

If he can please and value the eldest grandson, Jiuqing is not impossible to covet.

Even if you don't consider this, with the strength of this Zhang Shizhong and his position in front of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be able to get the opportunity to lead the army alone in three or five years, or as short as one and a half years.

At that time, following such a golden thigh and making some contributions on the battlefield will be enough to glorify the ancestors and expand the lintel!

As a result, almost half of the Gyeonggi area's landlords Haoqiang and the children of scholars came to hear the news.

In an instant, Xinfeng City was full.

It is precisely because of this that everyone is nervous.

With 14,500 candidates, how fierce is the competition?

Even now, after passing many tests, there are still more than 500 people left.

According to rumors, there is a shortage of Xinfeng officials of only 100 people.

In other words, four out of every five people may have to say goodbye to the ladder to heaven.

And the successful ones don't say that they have risen to the top since then, at least they have the possibility of leaping into the class.

Maybe three or five years, at most seven or eight years, when we meet again, maybe the loser will still be dressed in white, but the winner will already have a ribbon in his hand, holding up the Ming Hall, claiming to be the house, and ruling the land of a county.

It is precisely because of this that the results of the interview will be made public.

No one can hold their breath anymore.

Even if Chang Yuan is far away, he is also worried in his heart.

He had taken a huge risk to come here.

It was the honor of the menlang who gave up the period and came to Xinfeng to gamble.

Originally, his future had already been fixed.

In the next year, the period gate army selection lang, he can be selected nine times out of ten - this is no doubt that after being a loyal minister, the orphan who was adopted by the Son of Heaven in Shanglin Yuan, as long as the physical conditions are met, he will definitely be able to elect the period doorman.

Then, he served seriously in the Qimen Army, guarded the court for three or five years, and was slowly promoted to the captain of the team and even the captain.

You can go out and go to the side plug and serve as the captain of a certain place or a certain commander.

After years of tempering and the baptism of war, more than ten years later, he is almost qualified to lead a single army to follow a certain general.

Then, through brave battles, he accumulated meritorious deeds, and was promoted to a general who could lead the army alone.

The whole process takes about twenty years.

As long as you have the ability and are lucky enough, you can basically do it.

But Chang Yuan can't wait, and he doesn't want to wait so long!

More than ten years ago, when he was still a naïve boy, his father followed Su Wu to envoy the Xiongnu, and he never knew his life and death.

Everyone said that his father had been faithful to his country.

But Chang Yuan didn't believe it.

I don't want to believe it.

He believed his father was still alive.

And in the middle of the desert, waiting for yourself to meet him.

Therefore, he can no longer follow the rules and follow the rules to be promoted.

He needed to be a cronie of a nobleman who might lead his troops into battle.

Therefore, when the news of Xinfeng here reached his ears, he gave up his originally stable future and came to Xinfeng.

However, when he arrived in Xinfeng, he realized that there are so many heroes and heroes in the world!

Although he is known for his civil and military skills, he is also a hero.

But now there is not much certainty.

Not to mention, this public examination, although the children of the real noble families and princes did not participate.

However, it attracted almost the entire Gyeonggi region to be a reckless hero and a scholar's son.

Choose one of the five, and you may not be able to choose.

If you miss this opportunity, the next time you meet such an important big man to openly select officials and subordinates, I don't know how many years you will have to wait.

Thinking of this, Chang Yuan lowered his head and sighed.

At this moment, suddenly a strange man's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Dare to ask if you live here are the scholars of Hedong County, Wuyuan, Shanglinyuan, Changyuan, and Zhang Ci, the scholars of Huxian County?" ”

When Chang Yuan and the others heard this, they hurriedly got up and responded: "We are the ......."

As he spoke, someone went and opened the courtyard door.

But I saw a civil official in his forties, with a few officials, looking at everyone with a smile, and bowed his hand and said: "Dare to invite Wu Sheng, Chang Sheng and Zhang Sheng to meet ......."

Chang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward with the other two and said, "The students have seen Ming Gong, dare to ask Ming Gong?" ”

Everyone's breathing was a little short, and their chests were even more undulating.

I heard the other party smile and said: "This official is Xinfeng Cheng Chen Wannian, in order of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the servant received the order of Xinfeng Order Zhang Gong, specially came here to congratulate the three, you have to be elected as the Xinfeng official, please prepare the household registration documents as soon as possible, and before noon tomorrow, rush to the Xinfeng official office to report, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and Lieutenant General Zhang Shi came to give a lecture!" ”

"I have to choose!" Chang Yuan clenched his fists, and the blood in his heart surged up at once.

The other two were even more unbearable, jumping around excitedly.

The other young people who lived in the same courtyard all bowed their heads and were depressed.

"We didn't make the election...... a young scribe bit his lip, tears streaming down his eyes.

He knew he was missing out on more than just an opportunity to soar.

I also missed a Ming Jun, an opportunity to serve the Ming Lord!

For literati, this was particularly crucial.

Since the Warring States period, with the bankruptcy of the monopoly of power by the old nobles, the scholar class has risen.

Confucianism, Huang Laomo, and the name of the mixed spell.

And no matter which school of scholars, they all dream of being able to assist a Ming master, and to serve under a Ming monarch who respects and values him.

This formed a set of values peculiar to the scholarly class.

In this set of values, scholars have the power and qualifications to choose the king they serve.

The so-called state has a way, and there is no way.

There was even some slowness, and he shouted out such rebellious words as 'the world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world'.

Entering the Han Dynasty, there is only one choice left for the scholars - the old Liu family.

However, the spiritual legacy of the scholars of the Warring States period still exists.

The values of the Warring States scholars still exist in people's minds.

In this era, although the minister can no longer choose the king, every scholar and doctor hopes that he can be under the command of the Ming monarch as soon as he comes out, so as to embark on the right path.
