"This eldest brother, may I ask how to go to the Qin Palace?"

The eldest brother walked over with his body straight, his head held high, and he walked over without squinting, without giving him a look.

"This big sister ......"

"Who is the eldest sister? The old lady is twenty-eight years old, which eye do you look at me like a big sister? ”

"This lady ......"

"Who's Madame? Who is Madame? Yun Ying's unmarried yellow flower girl in the slave family was humiliated by you, how will she marry in the future? Why don't you marry me? ”

Looking at her bucket waist trembling, Chen Rui fled, a little speechless, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to ask for directions, why are the people of Xiangcheng not hospitable?

Looking up at the sky, it was half an hour since he came out this morning, and he didn't even ask for a clear way, so it was not okay to go on like this, seeing an uncle passing by in front of him, Chen Rui decided to try his luck again, and stepped forward and said: "This uncle, may I ask how to go to the Qin Palace?" ”

The uncle glanced at him and said, "Young man, do you want to see the county lord?" ”

Uncle is still relatively kind, Chen Rui nodded truthfully, he really wanted to see her very much.

The uncle looked at him for a while, and said: "Young man, although you are a talent, but the county lord is not something you can see if you want to see it, this day from out of town, there are not a hundred but eighty young talents who want to see the county lord, but no one has ever been able to do so." I advise you, don't waste time here, it's better to go back early, read more sage books, and get fame as soon as possible, so that the county lord will look at you differently. ”

Seeing that the uncle was so enthusiastic, Chen Rui seemed to understand why he was treated indifferently just now, not because the people of Xiangcheng were not hospitable, but just because they were not interested in these outsiders who came to admire him.

Maybe it's because I've seen too much numbness!

"Thank you, uncle, but I don't just want to see the county lord, I am a distant relative of King Qin, and I came to serve King Qin, and I also want to meet this cousin by the way." In order to be able to ask the way clearly, Chen Rui was a little panicked, otherwise Xiangcheng is so big, and if you want to find it yourself, you don't know when it will be.

"I see! You go over there for about ten feet and turn left...... In the end, I went straight to the end, and the most magnificent one I saw was the Qin Palace. The uncle explained while pointing the way.

"Thank you, uncle, uncle will live a long life."

The uncle smiled: "I don't pray for a long life, I just pray that there will be no war in my lifetime, and that I can spend my old age in peace." ”

In this troubled world, the greatest wish of the people is to seek a pure land, where they can live and live, how dare they ask for more; But this is precisely the rarest, only who really ends this troubled world, can the world be peaceful, and the people can have a pure land.

"Yes, uncle is a blessed person at first glance." Chen Rui comforted.

……

According to the path pointed out by the uncle, Chen Rui soon saw a magnificent mansion from a distance, how can it be a grand method? That is, the gate is more than twice as large as the ordinary courtyard, and the height of the courtyard wall is also twice as high as the ordinary courtyard, and then there is a huge plaque carved with the words "Qin Wangfu" in regular script on the high door beam.

In general, it is low-key and not luxurious, but it gives people a sense of grandeur.

However, there was a long line in front of the door, and upon closer inspection, it was seen that they were all young men dressed in gorgeous clothes, either with folding fans in their hands or with swords.

It made Chen Rui stunned for a moment, and then remembered the words of the uncle just now, presumably these are young talents who came here to meet the county lord.

The passers-by were not interested in the excitement in front of King Qin's mansion at all, and they didn't even give a look, Chen Rui guessed that he had seen too much of this kind of scene, and he was already numb and couldn't be interested.

I saw that the boy at the front of the line stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly: "I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and my fantasy floats to the front of the house." If you are lucky enough to see the beautiful face, your heart will be sweet if you live ten years less. Li Gongyun, a talented man in Xiasuzhou, felt something in the sleep center, and got a poem, so he came to Xiangcheng thousands of miles to ask the county lord for advice. ”

"Get out!" The porter spit out a word, then looked around a little helplessly, and said loudly: "Princes, please let me say a word, the county lord will not see you waiting, so don't waste a good spring here, or go back early, read more sage books, in preparation for the upcoming imperial examination, in order to get ahead, become famous in one fell swoop, and live up to the high expectations of the elders." ”

The porter was also very helpless, in the past, the sons outside this mansion all asked to see each other together, and it was enough to refuse once or twice, they just had to leave if they were unwilling.

But not long ago, a son who came to see showed his talents, although he was not summoned by the county lord, but after that, everyone else followed suit, as if they could be appreciated by the county lord by showing their talents, and they slowly formed a rule, that is, one by one.

At first, it was quite interesting, but I was very tired of watching too much, especially the good and bad of them, some people's poems were simply unbearable, some people played tunes that were simply old, and some people played a few embroidery boxing, and he wanted to beat people when he saw it......

They came thousands of miles away, and how could a few words from the porter make them retreat?

I saw that the prince who had just recited the poem was unwilling to retreat, and then a somewhat honest-looking son pulled out the sword on his waist and saluted and said: "In Xiayanzhou, Luo Jialuo Wucheng, our Luo family is behind the gate, and we are loyal and good for generations." That is also a dream in the next one, and I have a sword technique, so I will come thousands of miles to show the county lord, and I hope that the county lord can give me some pointers. ”

The porter is a little embarrassed, this person is not only honest, but also has a very honest brain! I even learn from other people's words.

After Luo Wucheng finished speaking, he martial up in the open space in front of the mansion, although this person is honest, but this set of swordsmanship is very unique, if it is really created by him, then his talent in martial arts is quite high.

The porter nodded secretly and praised secretly, "It is worthy of being behind the door." ”

Don't think that the gatekeeper is the ordinary people who guard the door, they are all veterans who have retired from the army of King Qin, and they are the elites who survived on the corpses.

They may not be very good at their skills, but they all learn killing skills, pay attention to killing with one hit, and no one will fight you on the battlefield, either kill you with a knife, or kill someone with a knife.

Even if they are allowed to face off against those so-called masters in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to say who will lose and who will win.

After they retired from the army, those who had families went back to live for the rest of their lives, and those who did not have families, the king of Qin could not bear to let them go back to die alone, so he left them behind and gave them a way to live.

Zhang Ning also nodded and praised: "This person has good skills." ”

"How many tricks do you want to clean him up?" Chen Rui asked.

"Within three moves."

Chen Rui touched his chin, and if he didn't lose a move in his hand, it showed that this person was really good. It must not be difficult to clean him up by himself, because he can go through ten moves under Zhang Ning, of course, he also has self-knowledge, knowing that Zhang Ning definitely doesn't want him to be too embarrassed and releases water, so he made a discount and made five moves.

What do these people say, it's not just the idea of beating her, and they can be regarded as his rivals in love!

At this time, Luo Wucheng had already finished playing a set of swordsmanship and saluted.

"Luo Xiaozi go back and learn the art of leading soldiers from your father, and it will be good to serve on the battlefield in the future, and it will not be in vain for your skills, don't think about those who don't have it." The porter said, still quite polite to him.

"But I came to see the county lord," Luo Wucheng said.

"Get out!"

Next is a handsome son with a folding fan in one hand, and he saluted and said: "In Xia Mingzhou Xie Yuan Fan Dong, there is a poem and ask the county lord for advice, thirty miles from Nanshan, not seen for more than ten years...... ”

As soon as Xie Yuan made a move, he knew if there was one, and the people present couldn't help but praise in their hearts when they heard it, and even Chen Rui, who had read a lot of Tang poems and Song lyrics, nodded secretly.

Xie Yuan was the first place in the imperial examination in the township examination, and although this era was different from the history that Chen Rui was familiar with, he also founded the imperial examination system.

However, it did not start in the Sui Dynasty as recorded in the official history of Chen Rui's previous life, because there was a dividing point between this world and the world of Chen Rui's previous life.

Chen Rui's world in his previous life was the Northern Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty, and then the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Jing Chan gave way to Yang Jian, the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty fell. Yang firmly established the country name as "Sui", and set the capital of Daxing City, which is Chang'an. Later, he went south to destroy the Chen Dynasty and unify the land of China.

However, this world is the Southern Dynasty Chen annihilated the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, unified the land of China, set the capital healthy, and established a strong Great Chen Empire.

After that, he sent troops to the north to destroy the Turks, swept the Tibetan Western Regions in the west, and conquered Annam in the south. In its heyday, it stretched from the Sea of Japan in the east, Annam in the south, the Aral Sea in the west, and Lake Baikal in the north, which was not weaker than the Tang in the official history.

In the heyday of Da Chen, he abolished the nine-product zhongzheng system that was born for the gate valve, and began to use the method of sub-examination to select officials, and formally set up the Jinshi department to select talents according to the examination results.

The Chu State, a new dynasty established after the Chen Dynasty, also followed the imperial examination selection system.

The birth of the imperial examination system can be described as an earth-shattering move, which has played a huge role in promoting the development of the times.

Although the imperial examination system broke the privilege of monopolizing officialdom by the big clans, it provided opportunities for ordinary scholars to participate in politics and expanded the social base of the rule. The centralization of the power to select talents and appoint officials from the hands of the big families to the central government has greatly strengthened the centralization of power and many other positive effects.

But it still did not reduce much of the influence of the scholars on the officialdom, because most of the scholars were from the scholar clan.

Of course, there are also a lot of cold doors, so the cold doors also have a bright future; As far as the common people are concerned, it is still a bit more realistic.

After all, the talents selected by the imperial examination are one in a thousand, and you can't be admitted with hard work, even if you work ten times harder than others, it is very likely that you will not be able to change your fate.

And the price paid to change your fate is huge, where does a civilian family have so much money for you to study? For you to catch the exam?

It may be the savings of several generations that are squandered, but it is the relatives around you who are dragged down, and in the end, 99% of them may not be admitted.

Therefore, if someone among the common people is admitted to the Jinshi, it is simply a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes, and there is no difference between the fish leaping dragon gate, the glorious lintel is not to say, and even because you are alone and change the fate of a clan, in popular terms, it is "a person who has the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven", and the villagers have face.

Moreover, when the Hanmen and ordinary people pass the imperial examination, after the accumulation of several generations, a new scholar clan may be formed......

Although this Xie Yuan learned well, the porter still had a cold face, and he was unwilling to step aside.

Chen Rui didn't have the time to wait for them to finish their performances one by one and walk forward, but someone didn't let him, only to see that the son in the back saw him walking forward, frowned and stopped him, and said, "This brother, please don't cut in line." ”

Chen Rui glanced at him and said, "I'm from the palace." ”

The man glanced at him suspiciously, frowned and said, "Are you really from the palace?" ”

Chen Rui nodded, unceremoniously slapped his hand away, and continued to walk forward, this time no one stopped him uninterestingly, probably heard what he just said.

Walking to the door, Chen Rui said politely: "The son of the old man is visiting, and I also ask the uncle and King Qin to pass it on." ”

Chen Rui's words instantly made the sons next to him explode,

"Isn't he from the king's house? How did you become an old friend? ”

"He's not going to be like us, he's all here to see the county lord, right? Then he came up with such a trick. ”

"Despicable, really despicable, why didn't I think of it?"

"You think everyone is as stupid as you are? Someone has used it for a long time, but in the end, not only did not see the county lord's face, but was thrown out like a dead dog. ”

……

looks so good-looking, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, so the porter sneered and said very unceremoniously: "Old man? Which deceased? ”

Chen Rui frowned and said, "Uncle said that Chen Rui, the son of the deceased, King Qin will let me in." ”
