Chapter 306: Donghua Gate Roll Call (II)
"In Xia Li Li, I've seen Uncle Yong!" Without waiting for Han Qi's introduction, Li Zhang stepped forward and saluted first, he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used a fake name, and the word "raccoon" was naturally borrowed from the raccoon.
When Han Qi heard that Li Zhang had concealed his identity, he immediately smiled and stepped forward and said, "Uncle Yong, Brother Li is a friend I met in the capital back then, and he also accompanied me to watch the list today." ”
Ouyang Xiu heard that Li Zhang was Han Qi's friend, and immediately smiled and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Brother Li, listening to the accent, Brother Li should be from the capital, do you know if there are any paths around here that can go around Donghua Gate, I'm afraid we won't be able to squeeze through here?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Uncle Yong, there are very few people here in Guozijian, so I am not familiar with the road here, and even if I bypass this section, I am afraid that there will be more people on the side of Donghua Gate, and I may not be able to squeeze through it then." Li Zhang smiled helplessly at this time, there is still a mile away from Donghua Gate, but it is no longer possible, the road is full of blocked vehicles, pedestrians can only pass through the gaps, and the streets are full of all kinds of vendors, and they can't walk through.
"It's a big pity, isn't it a big pity that my name is called when the list is released, but I can't be there in person?" Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but show a distressed expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, but his words almost made Li Zhang laugh out loud, this drunkard is really narcissistic, he hasn't even released the list, he already thinks that there must be his name on the list, but unfortunately this time it will disappoint him.
"It's not impossible, you wait, I'll call a few people!" Li Zhang laughed again at this time, and after saying that, he squeezed through the crowd and came to a tea shed on the side of the road, in which sat several tall, but flowing, young people, these people knew at a glance that they were the scoundrels of Tokyo City.
"Fifty Wen, send us to Donghua Gate!" Li Zhang glanced at the splash skin in the tea shed and said directly.
Only to Li Zhang's words, the leader of the splash slanted Li Zhang's glance and said: "One hundred Wen, otherwise no one on this street will dare to take your job!" ”
Li Zhang laughed angrily when he heard this, this splash is obviously sitting on the ground to raise the price, what is the concept of 100 Wen, ordinary people have to be busy for at least half a month to earn so much money, and he just opened 50 Wen is already a high price, but this splash probably thought that Li Zhang was also in a hurry to go to Donghuamen to see the list, so he dared to ask for such an unscrupulous price, anyway, Tokyo City is so big, they are not afraid of retaliation after the other party is developed.
"Do you know the Huozi of Huiwei Zhai, do you want me to ask him to recognize people?" Li Zhang glanced at the other party at this time, and then reported the name of Huozi, Huozi has been mixing in the market all the year round, and he is brave and ruthless by nature, and he is not bad for money in his hands, plus there is Li Zhang's big backer, so Huozi is quite open in black and white in Tokyo City.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Li Zhang's name of Huozi, this splashy head immediately changed his face, Huozi was missing a front tooth, so he was inlaid with a golden door, and people who knew him called him Jin Daya, and only a few people dared to take it as the name Huozi, so this splashy head did not dare to underestimate Li Zhang, not to mention that Li Zhang's own bearing was extraordinary, and his clothes were also very luxurious, and he was probably the son of an official eunuch.
Thinking of this, the splashy head immediately showed a smile and said: "It turns out that you are a friend of Brother Jin, and you don't know Taishan in the next eye, and you collided with Gongzi, I will send someone to send you over, as for the money, you don't have to!" ”
He picked two of the strongest subordinates and asked them to help Li Zhang open the way, but Li Zhang still took out a fifty wen bill and put it on the table and said, "Take the money, I like rules the most!" ”
Originally, when the money store first opened, only issued five hundred wen, consistent and ten banknotes of three denominations, this is mainly because the money bank was for businessmen at the beginning, so the amount is relatively large, now the money bank is more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, ordinary people have also begun to use money in their lives, but the smallest five hundred wen is still too big for ordinary people, so the money bank has issued ten wen, fifty wen and one hundred wen three kinds of money, now it has been circulated in the capital, and most of the shops accept this kind of money.
"Oh, thank you, Childe!" Seeing that Li Zhang was so generous, he immediately thanked him, and then accepted the money with a smile, while Li Zhang opened the way by the two splashes, and soon came to Han Qi and them, and then let them follow behind the splashes, these two splashes were strong and strong, and easily squeezed through the crowd in front of them, so that Li Zhang and they could finally continue to move forward.
It took a full half an hour, Li Zhang and they finally came to the front of the Donghua Gate, compared to the previous crowding, but it seems quite relaxed, because the entire Donghua Gate has been cleared by the forbidden army, and the open space opposite the Donghua Gate is only allowed to enter the imperial examination this year, and other people can only stay outside, which is also the main reason why this road is blocked, after all, there are all people watching the lively crowd, so let alone the car, even people can't pass.
Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu both had their own documents, Li Zhang originally thought that he couldn't get in, but he didn't expect that the forbidden army was very relaxed when he checked his identity, and saw Han Qi and a group of more than a dozen scholars coming together, so they only looked at the first two, and the back ones let them in, and Li Zhang was able to get through the tricks.
After entering the inside, all around were nervous or excited, Li Zhang had seen Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and others before were very young, but when they came here, they found that more than half of these lifts were gray-haired, and some even had hunched backs.
Li Zhang, they waited for about half an hour, and finally saw a man in official uniform appear on the city gate, Li Zhang looked a little familiar, in fact, Li Zhang didn't know much about the officials in the court, at most he had seen a few times and had a little impression, this was mainly because he usually didn't go to the court, and Liu E also authorized him not to go to the court, anyway, he could enter the palace directly if there was anything.
I saw the man on the city gate looking at the following with a majestic face, and then he coughed and opened an imperial list, and then read it loudly, the first few sentences were nothing more than to praise the emperor Zhao Zhen, and praised the wisdom of the queen mother, and then began to enter the topic, read out the list of jinshi.
"Kaifeng Mansion Juzi He Jin; Ying Tianfu raised Sun Sun Qing ...... "As the names of the new science and technology jinshi were read out, there were bursts of cheers one after another, and every time a name was read, a banner hung down on the city wall, on which the name of the jinshi, place of origin and other information were written, so that even if there were duplicate names, they would not be confused.
"Xiangzhou Juzi Han Qi!" As soon as he read seven or eight names, Han Qi's name appeared, although Han Qi had already known from Li Zhang that he was definitely on the list, but at this time, he still couldn't help shouting, and Ouyang Xiu and the others next to him also congratulated him, but these people also showed a little anxious look on their faces, after all, they hadn't heard their names yet.
Just after Han Qi, Li Zhang soon heard Bao Zheng's name again, and when this name appeared, a burst of cheers broke out not far from his left, and Li Zhang also heard the reputation, and sure enough, he saw a young man with a serious expression standing in the crowd, not only was his skin not dark, but he was also very fair, and his appearance was quite handsome, which was completely different from the legendary image of Bao Zheng.
However, compared to the cheers of others when they were among the jinshi, Bao Zheng seemed very restrained, but the people around him shouted and congratulated him, and Bao Zheng also returned the salute one by one, but Li Zhang could also see from his slightly trembling arm that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
Just when Li Zhang was looking at Bao Zheng, Bao Zheng also noticed it, after all, people have their own sixth sense, if someone keeps staring at you, even if you have your back to the other party, sometimes you can detect the gaze behind you, and Bao Zheng suddenly turned his head at this time, and immediately saw Li Zhang who was looking at him.
Li Zhang was also wearing a long shirt at this time, and he was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, so Bao Zheng also smiled at him kindly at this time, and Li Zhang also bowed his head lightly in return, which was the first intersection between the two.
The reading of the list of Jinshi is still continuing, but sixty or seventy people have been read, and the number of Jinshi hired each time is generally less than 100, even if the most is only more than 200 people, that is still too many vacancies in the Taizu period, so the number of additional hires has been increased, and now the officialdom has long been saturated, so the number of people hired each time is also much less.
Most of the list has been announced, and the people on the list are full of joy, and the rest are either anxious, or desperate, or desperate with the last glimmer of hope, it can be said that all kinds of life are on the faces of these people, and Li Zhang finally realized the madness of Fan Jinzhong in later generations.
In fact, don't say goodbye, even Ouyang Xiu, who is famous in later generations, is not exempt from vulgarity at this time, at the beginning, the expression on his face was quite relaxed, but when Han Qi's name appeared, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, and when the list was more than halfway, his face slowly showed a little loss, but he did not completely give up hope, but when the official on the city gate read out the name of the last Jinshi, and then closed the imperial list, Ouyang Xiu's face finally showed a look of despair.
When Han Qi looked at the expressions of Ouyang Xiu and the others who fell off the list at this time, he didn't know what to say, after all, no matter what he said now, it was a little wrong, and in the end, Ouyang Xiu was very free and easy, and the first one sighed and said: "No. 1 this year, don't be discouraged when I wait, just fight again next year!" ”
Ouyang Xiu's words finally made the people around him come to their senses, and Han Qi and several other people who were lifted in the middle of the move also breathed a sigh of relief, and then encouraged each other a few more words, and then they were ready to leave together.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a group of people rushing in, and when he saw the young man, he grabbed it, and Li Zhang suddenly remembered that this should be the legendary "catching a son-in-law under the list", but before he could react, he suddenly saw a group of servants with big shoulders and round waists rushing straight towards him.
