Are you sure?

Feng Ping and Feng Ji looked at each other, and Feng Ping said in a sullen voice: "Back to my father's words, this time the imperial examination will be reformed." ”

"How?"

"This time, it is required to hold the county examination in the county first, and after passing, participate in the prefectural examination, and after passing the prefectural examination, you can participate in the general examination held by the Ministry of Rites, and after the general examination, it is the palace examination in which His Majesty personally serves as the main exam!"

Because the Feng brothers were in charge of drafting the holy decree, they knew the content of this reform.

The entire process of the imperial examination is almost the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, mainly to make the palace examination a rule, not as dispensable as the Tang Dynasty. However, in this reform, there is a very huge breakthrough.

In principle, if you pass the prefectural examination, you are eligible to work as an official in the prefecture.

And if you pass the examination of the Ministry of Rites, you can go to Fuzhou to serve as an official.

Of course, if you want to stay in the capital, or serve as the chief official at the county level, you must pass the palace examination and be appointed by the Son of Heaven.

Feng Ping said in a sullen voice: "The child thinks that even if he can't pass the Jinshi exam, he can still pass the exam, so he can go to the local place to be an adjutant official, support himself, and benefit the people with his ability, so as not to gossip about others!" ”

After listening to his son's words, Feng Dao thought about it, the two boys would not change for no reason.

"It's a useless thing, it's Ye Hua's kid who hurt you, right? Can't stand it anymore? ”

Feng Ping lowered his head and said silently: "It's the child who is to blame, no wonder others!" ”

Feng Daochang sighed, "If you really think so, you're not too stupid!" Ye Hua's kid is looking for people all over the world to sacrifice the flag, he can scold you, and he can be regarded as his own people! Remember, to participate in the imperial examination, no matter what, you have to take a jinshi out! Otherwise, your father's old face will be disgraced! You know? ”

The old lady was agitated and coughed.

The two brothers hurriedly came up, patted their father's back, and fed him water, finally Feng Dao took a breath, the old lady became pleasant, he tried to squeeze out a smile, patted his two sons, and said in a low voice: "Remember, only what you can master is true!" Everything that others give you is fake, including your father! You have to fight for yourself! ”

The brothers were red and bearded, and they realized that it was really embarrassing!

"Don't worry, Daddy, we get it!"

The two brothers turned their heads down, and they really worked hard.

Speaking of which, as Feng Dao's son, he is good at learning and calligraphy, no matter when, as long as it is an answer sheet, good calligraphy can take advantage.

The difference between the two of them is knowledge, and their minds are jammed with the sages' teachings, and according to Chai Rong, their articles are full of sour smell!

The emperor has to say something, and he wants to cut to the point of the current disadvantages.

"Brother, when my father was still in good health, he gave a lecture to Li Shi, didn't he have a lot of lecture notes? Let's take it and read it hard. ”

Feng Ping frowned, and suddenly overjoyed, "This method is good, Li Xi is now a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, maybe he will let him have exam questions!" Figuring out what he learned from our dad will come in handy! ”

The two brothers happily turned out what their father wrote and put it in front of them, Feng Ji sat down, and suddenly he became depressed again, "Brother, you still said that you rely on yourself, but you don't have to rely on our father!" ”

Feng Ping was helpless, "Alas, what can be done?" You say, we can't change our surname! As long as you don't embarrass our dad! ”

Feng Ji nodded, "That's all, I hope I don't insult the Feng family's name!" ”

……

These two brothers began to study hard, during the day, they had to go to the imperial front to be on duty, responsible for drafting the holy decree, and when they came back at night, they had to figure out the notes and polish the articles, and the hard work can be imagined.

In just half a month, both of them have lost a lot of weight.

But they feel that the gain is huge.

First of all, they participated in the reform led by Chai Rong and Ye Hua, and the two brothers did not have any advice, only responsible for drafting the holy decree, but through the will, they could also feel the process of a decree from birth to promulgation and implementation, and they could get a glimpse of how to prevent malpractices and how to carry out supporting it.

It's a systems project, and it's very complex.

In the books, they can only see the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers, working hard, and then the Haiyan River is clear, and the world is peaceful...... But now they understand why the decree is so arranged, which people's interests are to be taken care of, where to start, whose flesh to be cut, how much to cut, and what to do if these people fight back?

Being fortunate enough to witness the whole process, Feng Ping and Feng Ji felt that it was more valuable than reading a book for ten years! And with this experience, looking back at his father's notes and what he said to Li Shi, the two brothers suddenly became enlightened...... They used to have some disdain for their father, but now all that remains is reverence......

No matter how busy they were, they had to say hello to Feng Dao when they got up early, kowtow at night, and take time to help their father walk around the yard.

They all took over the work that Miss Feng was responsible for, feeding medicine to her father, washing her feet, and was very busy...... Seeing their father's appearance every day, Feng Ping and Feng Ji felt extremely remorseful!

They understood too late, and Daddy's illness was too serious...... I don't know how much time God can give them! May the longer the better, so that they may fulfill their duties as sons of man.

The two brothers also thought about not caring about other things, just wholeheartedly taking care of their father.

But the two of them also understand that what Daddy wants to see is that they have a future and can carry the door of the Feng family!

Once my father was completely disappointed in them and put his heart on the two disciples...... Feng Ping and Feng Ji asked themselves, they may not have the ability to catch up with Ye Hua, and they are not even far behind Li Hua, but they are not waste!

Daddy, look!

The sons will prove it to you!

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county exam, and it was still dark on this day, Feng Ping and Feng Ji carried lanterns and bookcases, and went to the county office to line up and take the exam.

To the surprise of the two of them, the number of people who took the exam far exceeded the estimate.

On both sides of the street, countless torches and lanterns appeared.

Poor or rich, young or old, all came out. Feng Ping even saw that there was an old man with gray hair, who also carried a basket, a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and went to the exam with his underage grandson!

It seems that nothing can stop the enthusiasm of seeking officials!

Feng Ping and Feng Ji suddenly felt a huge pressure on their bodies, if they couldn't get a decent score, they would be shameless!

"Come on!"

The two brothers encouraged each other, and walked into the examination room with the ambition of being sluggish and easy to be cold!

……

The two brothers didn't know that when they went out, Feng Dao had already woken up.

The old lady didn't alarm anyone, he just silently worried about his two sons...... Back then, he was also selected by the imperial examination, and it was much stricter than the county examination.

But at that time, Feng Dao didn't care at all, and passed in a daze, what was a small county test? What if you can't pass the test? Isn't there still a chance?

Feng Dao kept comforting himself, but the more he comforted, the more he panicked, the two sons' talents were good, but their brains were too rigid, and they were under so much pressure, what if they missed? What if someone stumbles?

It's a pity, the old man has offended many people over the years, will they attack these two boys?

In fact, with Feng Dao's IQ, it can definitely be seen that no one will try to do anything in the county...... The problem is that concern is chaotic, Feng Daozhen can't wait to go outside the examination room to take a look.

But he is old and sick, and even if he goes, he can't see it!

Feng Dao was left on the couch, tossing and turning, sighing.

When it was time to eat, it was Miss Feng who brought it over.

The subordinate helped the old lady and sat down against the edge of the bed, Miss Feng fed her grandfather one bite at a time, Feng Dao wanted to speak several times, but he stopped talking.

It wasn't until he finished eating that Feng Dao coughed twice.

"That...... You tell me to go and let people go to the champion Hou...... Uh, no, don't look for Ye Hua. Just go to Li Shi and take care of him, your father and second uncle are county exams, and they must pass the ......"

Miss Feng didn't move, but said in an inquiring tone: "Grandfather, do you really want your granddaughter to ask?" ”

Feng Dao took another breath and became irritable.

The two sons are holding back their strength to show their skills, and the apprentice Li Xian has just won the favor of the Son of Heaven, and he immediately cheats for personal gain, which is really inappropriate.

Go to Ye Hua?

With such a high position and so much power, it is really inappropriate for him to come forward...... The resourceful Feng Taishi actually had no idea.

"Otherwise, go and invite Fan Xianggong, he is left behind in Yecheng and can manage Xiangzhou County...... Alas, it's just that at this time, I still owe him favors, I'm afraid it's not good to pay it back! ”

Miss Feng couldn't help but sigh when she looked at her grandfather's sad face.

"My father and second uncle are such bastards, they don't know their grandfather's hard work at all!"

Feng Dao shook his head again and again, "Don't talk about that, the prodigal son will not change his money." The old man has no regrets about seeing this day alive. ”

Feng Dao pondered for a while, "Don't be embarrassed, you tell the family to go to the county yamen to keep an eye on, the county exam is only half a day, and after the exam, the list will be announced." If the two of them are over, let me know as soon as possible...... Go ahead! ”

Feng Dao slowly closed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed to recuperate.

In fact, there is no need for him to order, Miss Feng is careful, and she has already arranged people.

waited until the afternoon, and finally came back, his face was very ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Girl, the list is out, there is no uncle and second master!" ”

Miss Feng frowned, "Really? ”

"Yes, the little one has seen the end from the beginning, and he doesn't even have a surname Feng!" The family frowned, "The old lady looks forward to something, I really don't know how to tell his old man!" ”

Miss Feng took a breath, frowned and said, "You don't have to worry, I'll find a way...... By the way, my father and second uncle didn't pass, who passed the county exam? ”

Jia Ding pouted and said: "The head of the county test this time is called Ma Huaming, and the second is called Ma Huazhen, it seems that they are two brothers, but I haven't heard of it before!" ”

Miss Feng was slightly stunned, Ma family brothers, will it ...... At this time, Ye Hua and Li Xi came together, both of them with smiles on their faces.

"Go and tell the teacher, we're here to drink the wine!"
