The old man gently twisted the white beard under his chin, and said slowly: "Chen Le Xiaoyou is mocking the Daxu Dynasty in today's world, traitors are in power, demons are rampant, everyone is wearing masks, sharing the artifact of Sheji, and even the dynasty is sluggish, the world is divided, and the people are not happy!" ”

Chen Le's heart moved when he heard this, this old man's mind is not pure, although it is said that the princes are now divided and the warlords are fighting, but this kind of thing is not easy to say, right? Could it be that this old man is rebellious, or is he testing himself? Or ...... Both?

I can't take that! Chen Le immediately decided, he just smiled, neither objecting nor acquiescing.

The old man's eyes brightened even more when he looked at him: "Little friend, the old man and you hit it off at first sight, why don't you take advantage of today's wind and sunshine to go to the old man's house to sit down, talk about poetry and papers, and cook wine on the piano, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he said this, not only the girl on the side looked surprised, but even the two guards behind him also changed their faces.

As a descendant of the sub-saint and a great Confucian in the world, how could the master have lowered his status so much to invite others? What's more, the invitation is still a little-known and uncrowned young man!

Chen Le lowered his eyes and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your kindness, Xiaosheng is deeply honored and frightened, and he should have been gracious, but Xiaosheng is about to take the entrance exam, and I am afraid that he can't go away, so it is better to wait for the Xiaosheng exam to visit in person after the exam, to thank the old man for his invitation!" ”

"Looking at Xiaoyou's age, isn't it to take the entrance exam for Xuan-level students?" The old man was not upset by Chen Le's refusal, but asked with great interest.

Chen Le nodded: "Exactly!" ”

The old man turned back to the guard and said, "Wu Shisan, you take a copy of my name card to Xiaoyou." ”

The white-faced guard immediately took out a golden thorn and handed it to Chen Le.

"After the exam, you can come to my house in Liangzhou, Zhao Guo at any time with this famous post, but don't let the old man down!"

Luershan is located on the border of Zhao and Yan, Yan is in the north, Zhao in the south, Liangzhou is commonly known as Daliang City, is one of the 39 states of Daxu.

Chen Le held the name card in his hand, and after confessing his guilt, he got up and went into the mountain.

He didn't look carefully at what was written on the name post, and he didn't care about this at the moment, he was only thinking about how to get past this evil entrance examination and be promoted to a prefecture-level student perfectly.

The macaque on the hill seemed to recognize him after yesterday, and screamed from afar, then plucked the green fruit from the tree, bared its teeth and ran into the distance.

Green mountains and green waters, pleasant scenery, Chen Le chased the macaques all the way, watching the scenery couldn't help but be in a good mood, until he rushed back to the school in the evening, only to find his friend Zhou Zhengzong from a distance but sad face sitting on the green steps in front of the door waiting for him, Chen Le, the only scumbag friend, at the moment with a sallow face, depressed expression, obviously oppressed by this period of study to a little loveless.

"Qingzhi, where have you been this day?" Zhou Zhengzong seemed to have waited for a long time, and counted the days when he opened his mouth.

Chen Le looked at this friend, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with Zhou Zhengzong's skills, there was absolutely no possibility of being promoted to a prefecture-level student, once he couldn't pass the prefecture-level exam, he would have to end his studies and leave Jixia School Palace to return home.

Zhou Zhengzong's home is a big business family, this world does not have a farmer industry and commerce, businessmen are light, so the Zhou family still has some status, but Zhou Zhengzong is not the eldest son of the family, although he is also a son-in-law, but he was born to a flat wife, and the eldest lady of the main house gave birth to five sons to his father in a row, and it was not his turn to inherit the family industry, so he was sent to the school palace, and his father had high hopes.

"Masamune, how are you doing?" Chen Le gets straight to the point.

"I'm afraid I really can't pass the test!" Zhou Zhengzong shook his head and sighed.

Chen Le was speechless, and at this time, he saw Zhou Zhengzong take out a bag from his body, and said with some sadness: "It's inevitable to go down the mountain, I bought some wine and food today, and Qingzhi will rest when you get drunk!" ”

This day is the beginning of autumn, this night outside the window of flowers and branches withered, the two of them drunk!

……

The Jixia School Palace has been a little busy in the past few days, because the promotion test for Xuan-level students will start tomorrow, and the promotion test for the prefecture-level will also be held later.

At this time, Mr. Kagami, the palace master of the school palace, was holding a meeting with the master instructors of this Xuan-level exam with great interest.

The four academies are detached from the world, even if the majesty of the Great Xu Dynasty is no longer there, and the princes divide the land and territory, and claim to be kings one after another, they still respect places like the academy.

The academy is a place with special rights, even if it is a small private school in the world, it is privileged, the country does not pay taxes, the sword does not enter, and the status of the master is noble.

In a place like the Four Academies, as long as the teachers are in office and the students who are studying, they can even travel freely between countries without being checked, and even every time there is a promotion exam within the academy, there will be people sent by the vassal states to observe, thinking that some potential students will be set in the future, and after these students graduate, they will be recommended to serve in various countries and become the new upstart class.

Of course, there are also those who are amazingly talented, who disdain to be recommended, but go to participate in the traditional imperial examination of the Great Xu Dynasty, first take an orthodox fame, and then make other plans.

There is no imperial examination between the princes, even if the world is divided now, but the Great Xu Dynasty still exists, and it still occupies the orthodox name, but those scholars and students whose hearts are higher than the sky go to participate in the imperial examination of the Great Xu Dynasty, not necessarily what is loyal to the monarch and the country's thoughts, often after obtaining an orthodox fame, they abandon the official position of the Xu Dynasty and go directly to other countries.

The Great Xu Dynasty established thirty-nine states after unifying the world, but now the scope of power is only in one state, the court is bloated, the officials are like carp across the river, and they have long been sealed, most of the new officials in the imperial examination are often just a false name, and they are thin and barely surviving, so even if there are candidates who are high school champions, they will still leave without hesitation, of course, there are also the promoters of the vassal states behind this, or there are some candidates who are directly the royal nobles of the vassal states, to participate in the imperial examination, but in order to gild a layer of gold.

The world is crumbling for 500 years, and the golden age of the great world has gradually come......

Mr. Jinghua looked at the instructor in front of him with a smile on his face, he was a very elegant and peaceful person, he usually liked to wear a high crown, wear brocade clothes, wear clogs, a wisp of clear beard combed neatly, his eyes were bright and bright, and he spoke gently and reasonably.

He was one of the top Confucians in the world, and the world also went through the era of a hundred schools of thought, and in the end it was Confucianism that won, although other doctrines did not completely disappear, but they also did not have a long and short power with Confucianism.

Mr. Jinghua showed a good-looking smile with Zhizhu in his hand, looking at the masters and instructors in front of him, his voice was as clear as gold and iron: "Gentlemen, now start the lottery for the subjects of the Xuan-level entrance examination!" ”
