[I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.] I hope you will be reunited with your families and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. By the way, ask for a monthly pass, during the double period, if you have a monthly pass, please don't waste it. 】

The list of the winners of the release test was finally posted.

Although he was not at the top, seeing that he was among them, Zong Ze's mood was still a little lighter.

Some cry, some laugh, some are in high spirits, and some turn around.

The hundred flavors of life are just before the list.

"Ru Lin, congratulations."

A classmate walked over and bowed his hand to Zong Ze.

"Rejoice, rejoice." Zong Ze replied.

This classmate's position is even higher than him, so he is so proud. Zong Ze just smiled slightly, and immediately retracted again. A few of his friends who came with him to see the list are still looking for their names in the list. But the chances are slim. At least Zong Ze didn't see their names.

The total of the four hundred military states in the world is only 5,000 tributes, and the number of people who can be distributed to the country is not even less than 100. Compared with the more than 2,000 Guozi prisoners, the number of people who can obtain the qualification of tribute students is a little too small.

Sighing softly, Zong Ze took a few steps back, waiting for a few friends to give up on their own.

Gradually, several of Zong Ze's classmates and friends gave up. A list of less than 100 people, if they really have their names, you don't need to look for too long. Among several people, only Zong Ze was on the list.

"Ru Lin, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Rulin."

Seeing a few classmates who couldn't respond to the promotion come over to say hello to him, Zong Ze couldn't even maintain a smile on his face. After seeing Liu Zhengfu, who was a fellow villager of the two Zhejiang provinces and got along with him the best, he turned around and left, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.

But Zong Ze also knew that Lu Dao should not be angry. In other words, if his friends are promoted and he doesn't, after congratulations, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be together for a while. This is human nature, and Zong Ze will not think too much of himself.

"Don't mind too much. Ru Lin. A familiar voice sounded beside Zong Ze: "Dechu is just a moment of frustration, and it will be fine after a while." Forget it today. Tomorrow I will give you a drink to celebrate. ”

Zong Ze turned around, and unexpectedly saw Li Changning's slightly old face.

"Brother Anbang. Thank you very much. ”

Zong Ze saluted Li Changning and said very respectfully. After all, he was still young, and he didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

Li Changning is the oldest of the classmates who usually interact with Zong Ze the most. He is in his forties, and his temples are gray. He is very knowledgeable, and he has always been respected among his classmates. It's just that academic opinions are different from the times, and for more than ten years, several subjects have always been missed. In this subject, I didn't even get the qualification for tribute.

Li Changning arched his hand and also said goodbye first. When he left, his smile turned bleak again, which made Zong Ze panic in his heart.

He knew that this classmate in Kaifeng had not had a few chances. If you haven't been in forty-five or six, do you want to get fifty or sixty? It is said that he is a fifty young jinshi, but when he is really fifty or sixty years old, there are not many of them, and there is no future.

If Li Changning can win this time, he can also try his special name. If you miss the three moves, you can ask the court for a favor. This is a preferential treatment for those who have few roads in Shaanxi. Li Changning originally planned that if he couldn't pass this subject, he would simply take the special performance to get a name and get a good job, but unfortunately he didn't even pass the test this time.

"Ru Lin, congratulations." Another person came over to say hello to Zong Ze, and after a few steps, he shouted loudly.

Seeing that it was Zhang Tame, who was not usually close, Zong Ze smiled: "Fortunately, it is not Su She who is presiding over the release test, otherwise Zong Ze would not be able to attach to Jiwei." ”

When Su Shi returned to Beijing, he was still a direct house, and he returned to the capital before the list of examiners was finalized. When the news came, Guozijian was almost full of mourning, and everyone was terrified, afraid that the imperial court would appoint Su Shi as the examiner of Guozijian and Kaifeng Mansion.

Guozijian's popular style in recent years is completely different from Su Shi's style. If he were to be an examiner, many of the students who were at the top of the internal examination of Guozijian would have to hit the wall. It was as miserable as when Taixue bumped into Ouyang Xiu head-on.

Zong Ze's style is also completely different from Su Shi's, analyzing the battle situation, calm and meticulous. But in other words, it is implied sharp in the coldness. It lacks the feeling of being handsome and elegant, but it is a little more sharp and profound. If you go to the field and bump into Su Shi, it will be the end of the halberd and the sand.

"Don't forget that there is also the Zhigongju." Zhang Tao reminded him of his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "The Sushe people can at least be a deputy." ”

Zong Ze shook his head, how could he let Su Shi come to Tongzhi Gongju? The people of the New Party are not dead yet.

I guessed that Su Shi would preside over the test, but it was also because I saw that he happened to enter Beijing at this time, and rumors arose. Now calm down, and look at Su Shi's performance in the court during this time, he knows that he still has not joined the New Party, how could the princes of the two prefectures give him the opportunity to pay tribute to the same knowledge.

"Impossible." Zong Ze said, and explained.

"That's true. Ru Lin is right! ”

After listening to Zong Ze's explanation, Zhang Tao immediately became energetic again. I didn't do well in the exam before, and I sighed that I was wrong for reading, but now that the list is posted, Zhang Tao is among them, and I am excited again. He is not much younger than Li Changning, he is full of red face, if he stands with Li Changning now, he will be believed by people who are one or twenty years old.

Thinking of Li Changning and those friends, Zong Ze's heart sank. I want to say goodbye and leave. Zhang Tao pulled him and asked, "Ru Lin, you have always been the most well-informed. I heard that the imperial court will reopen the system next year, but this news is true? ”

"It's true." Zong Ze nodded.

Because Zong Ze often writes articles for newspapers, he has a wide range of people on the two express newspapers, and he is even more well-informed. And unlike the rumors that have been distorted several times outside, the news I get from the newspaper is more real and accurate.

"Brother Fool also heard that this time, the ten subjects of the system will be opened, unlike in the past, only virtuous and good Fangzheng can speak outright, and only know and understand the three subjects of Mao Ming and Mao Cai and other three subjects."

"That's true." Zong Ze nodded again.

Although since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is true that only three of the ten subjects said by Zhang Tao have been selected, but this time the situation is different, Han Jiang, who proposed to reopen the department, hopes to be able to learn more officials who are good at practice and knowledge, and the princes of the two governments all agree with this.

"Zong Ze heard that Huang Mianzhong, who had twice assisted Han Xuanhui in using troops in Hedong, was preparing to participate in the system. Although I don't know which subject it is, it's certainly not a straightforward and talented subject. ”

As for Maocai, it is for the white people, Huang Sheng has already been an official and can't participate, so there is no need for Zong Ze to say more.

And this time, there is another saying that the imperial court reopened the system, which is the result of Han Gang's instigation behind his back. The purpose was to help Huang Shang, his closest aide.

Huang Shang was given the background of Jinshi the day before yesterday, and then the edict of reopening the system followed, which has to make people think of this.

But Zong Ze did not intend to leak this matter to the outside world. Most of the news for no reason is speculation, and naturally it cannot be spread indiscriminately.

After hearing what Zong Ze said, Zhang Tame's interest was a little higher: "That's great." Although the foolish brother is not talented, he also has the heart to try the depth and shallow water of the secret pavilion test! ”

I envy the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe, who have just been admitted to the Jinshi for a few years, and who have been admitted to the system again, and there are many scholars in the Guozijian. But there are not many people who have the confidence to take the exam. However, when it comes to learning, Zhang Tao is indeed a qualified one in the Guozi Prison. He is one of the hundred students in the upper house, and he is one of the Taixue scholars, and he is half a teacher, but he was unlucky, and he failed the exam once, otherwise he didn't have to participate in the test at all.

Zong Ze also once fantasized that he could first enter the Jinshi and then enter the system. There are 10 subjects, and those who have official status can only participate in six of them. But among these six subjects, there is one subject of knowledge and strategy. He still has some confidence in this subject. As long as the imperial court uses this to open the department, he still wants to give it a try.

It's not impossible to find two important ministers above the service system to recommend. Privately, he had also heard that Empress Taishang liked his article analyzing the battle situation in Hedong that day. If you can really get to the front of the palace, Queen Taishang will be able to pass it. I just don't know if Lu Dao can pass the two systems and the secret pavilion.

If you want to take the exam, the first level must be recommended by two important ministers, and the second level must be 50 questions for the two systems to review, and you can pass only if you have excellent words and reasoning. The next step is to pass the Secret Pavilion exam, and to take six treatises in a row, which is the biggest difficulty. Only after passing the cabinet test can you enter the front of the defense.

Thinking of the opportunity to display his talent earlier, the young and vigorous Zong Ze was of course unwilling to spend ten years in the state and county first.

But before that, you still have to get into the jinshi first. Zong Ze looked at Zhang Tame, who was in high spirits, and thought to himself. If God favors him, he may really be able to catch up with Huang Shang's pace in a few years.

"Ru Lin, there was less closeness in the past, and they were all foolish brothers. It's rare to be in the same subject, so you might as well get together today, I don't know if you can enjoy it? After Zhang Tao was excited, he invited Zong Ze.

Even if he is as famous as Zhang Tame, he can't help but envy the young Guozi prisoner in front of him. The young man was weak and famous, and he was regarded as the handsome minister who would be famous in the future. Although there are ridicules from Zhao Kuo and Ma Yanzhi, it is said that many important ministers believe that as long as they can give him the opportunity to exercise, they will not be able to take on important tasks without helping him grow up and give him heavy responsibilities, and it will only take more than ten years to become a famous marshal.

To know the way, search the court, there are only a few who can be called true handsome ministers. The first-class Lu, Zhang, and Han, the next class, the cool You Shixiong, and the southwestern Kumamoto, in addition to this, who else can reassure the imperial court? Zong Ze can be promised to be the future handsome, and the future can be described as unlimited.

On weekdays, there are not many close relatives between the upper and inner students, and they are only general friends with Zong Ze, a celebrity, but now that they have the opportunity, of course they should get closer to each other. If nothing else, just being well-informed is enough for Zhang Tao to try to get closer to him.

But for Zhang Tame's invitation, Zong Ze didn't think much about it, shook his head, and politely refused: "Now it's just a test, and you can't be a jinshi or meritorious." Zong Ze's material is not as good as others, and it is a fluke to move in the middle, and after I go back today, I will have to study hard. ”

As soon as he hit the ground, he turned and left. At this time, where is the time to waste with idlers?
