Chapter 314: Celebration
Naturally, there are people on the gold list in the exam, and some people are named Sun Shan, just when a few families are happy and a few are sad, at this time, the door of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites opened, and several officials walked out from inside.
When the candidates saw the officials coming out, they immediately stopped the noise.
"All the candidates on the list will go to the palace in three days to take the pre-palace exam." An official shouted.
"Do you still have exams? Didn't they all finish the rankings this time? β
Someone asked puzzled.
"This is His Majesty's arrangement, and those who don't want to take the exam can withdraw." After the official finished speaking coldly, the dissatisfied candidate immediately closed his mouth.
After saying this, the door of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was closed again, and the candidates suddenly whispered.
This time, there are a total of 100 people on the list, and the admission ratio can be said to be high, only more than 50 candidates whose results are really not satisfactory are not on the list.
"Brother Zheng, what can I do, why do I have to take the exam again, I almost didn't pass!" Wu Long sighed.
Zheng Sen said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't worry, you are also ranked eighty out of this hundred, I believe that even if Your Majesty takes the exam in person, there will be no problem." β
"Well, I hope so!" Wu Long shook his head.
At this time, two slightly older young men came to Zheng Sen excitedly and said, "Brother Zheng, let's go to Shiweitian and drink a few cups together, in the future, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, and we will need a lot of help in the future!" β
Zheng Sen looked at the people, it turned out to be Li Dahe and Feng Yu after him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, classmates for so many years, this time we are all on the list, it's time to celebrate, Brother Wu, don't frown, let's go have a few drinks together." β
The candidates with the title of the gold list cheered and ran towards the food for the sky, and this group of young and outstanding young men immediately attracted the attention of many girls.
And those candidates who failed to make the list could only look at the list unwillingly, shook their heads, and left here in despair to prepare for the next exam.
Food is the day, the arrival of nearly 100 candidates, immediately chartered the restaurant on the second floor, and a group of young people shouted in high spirits for the store to quickly put on the dishes.
With the advent of iron pots and stir-fried dishes, the dishes of Xia Kingdom gradually became richer, and as a restaurant specializing in food, it can be said that it has been quite researched in this regard, and the dishes here are almost comparable to those in the palace.
As the various dishes were served like water, the young people suddenly screamed excitedly.
Every dish here is equivalent to their food money for several days, but on a big day like today, no one cares so much, the accumulated money is spent, and as long as he becomes an official in the future, he will have a rich salary waiting for him every month, and this little money is nothing.
After three rounds of drinking, the students who had drunk began to sing loudly, and I don't know who took the lead, and the young singing voice sounded in the restaurant.
"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of corn flowers on both banks, and my family lives on the shore, and I am used to hearing the boatman's horn and seeing the red wall on the shoreγγγγγγ"
The boisterous students knew that it was evening when they helped each other back to their accommodations.
Outside Yancheng, a student with a scar on his face returned to his home before dark.
Pushing open the rudimentary wooden fence, he shouted, "Mother, I'm back." β
In the simple thatched house, several people heard the voice of the young man and ran out in a hurry.
"Wind and rain, you're back." A peasant woman said excitedly.
The young man looked at the woman and chuckled, "Mother, I was admitted to the exam today." β
"What?" The woman excitedly grabbed the young man's shoulder.
"Mother, I passed the exam, and I'm twenty-three." The young man laughed.
"Okay, good, it's really blessed by the gods, my son will be an official of the Xia Kingdom in the future." The woman knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the sky.
The young man looked up at the middle-aged man who was standing on the side looking at him, nodded to him, and said, "Father! β
The middle-aged man smiled innocently and said, "It's good to be admitted, I'm hungry, it's time to eat, let's eat together!" β
"My brother is so good, I have to take exams when I grow up." A little boy who was about four or five years old took the young man's hand and jumped and shouted.
By the bright moonlight, a family of four sat in the courtyard and ate a rather hearty meal.
"Wind and rain, this is the wine and meat that your mother specially went to the city to buy today, and today we will have a few bowls of wine and son." The middle-aged man picked up the jar and filled the bowl.
The young man looked at the wine in the bowl, picked it up and said, "Father, thank you for taking care of you all these years, although I am not your biological father, but I have always treated you as my biological father, thank you for your support." β
With that, drink it all down.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said several good words one after another, and his voice couldn't help but choke a little, and he drank all the wine in the bowl.
The young man poured his wine and said to the woman, "Mother, if you hadn't taken me to the infirmary for treatment, perhaps I would have died a long time ago, and you have given me all this today, and the child will not be able to repay it." β
With that, he drank the wine in the bowl again.
"If you have read the book, it is different from us, it is comfortable to listen to, wind and rain, will you be an official of Great Xia in the future?" The woman asked.
The young man shook his head, "It's not certain yet, Her Majesty will personally test us before we can decide." The young man said.
"Why do you have to take an exam?" The middle-aged man said with a frown.
"I don't know, but don't worry, I'll be able to pass." The young man patted his chest with great confidence.
Just as the candidates were celebrating their passing of the exam in their own ways, in the Great Xia Palace, Wang Lang squinted at Lin Jianya, who was sitting below.
"Lin Jianya, do you know why I called you back."
"I don't know!" Lin Jianya arched his hand very unhappily.
"You found out why those cannibal tribes didn't send people back to report on how cruel it was to cut off the hands and feet of the captives, and gouge out their eyes, and what is the difference between you and those barbarians, and I also got news that you beat soldiers while drunk in the army, but this is the case." Wang Lang asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, those cannibalistic things, what's wrong with killing them, it will take more than a month to come back and report it, what if those guys run away, I'm the chief soldier to fight a soldier, what's the big deal." Lin Jianya retorted.
When Wang Lang heard this, his face turned blue with anger, he got up and pointed at Lin Jianya and shouted: "Those cannibal tribes, whether to kill or stay should be decided by me, you give an order privately, it is ultra vires, according to the law, you should be arrested and investigated, the method of abusing and killing prisoners is too cruel, it is not done by people, you are the leader of the soldiers, the soldiers are your brothers, even if you can't treat them as your own brothers, you have to treat your soldiers well, you do this now, in the future, in the future, what do you use to let your soldiers die for you, how do you lead the troops like this, How can I trust the army to you. β
