Huang You and Qu Shiyun followed the military attache to the examination room of the candidate who had the accident, and the military attache ordered: "Come on, open the lock." （）”

"No!" Not only Qu Shiyun and Huang You shouted, but even the candidate in the examination room next door also shouted.

Huang You shouted angrily: "What are you doing, you are not allowed to open the lock, otherwise, military law will be engaged." ”

At this time, the military attache realized that Huang You was not only the invigilator of this civil service examination, but also ranked second in the Ningxiang Army. As the chief staff of Marquis Sun, half of the people in the Ningxiang Army were brought out by him. Suddenly, his body froze and he stopped.

Huang You: "Don't touch him." After saying this, he fixed his eyes on the past, and only then did he see the candidate who had fainted clearly.

In the dim light, the man was about forty years old, old and thin, and his clothes were very tattered. At this moment he was throwing himself down on the fence of the house, his pale face just embedded between the two wooden stakes.

Probably stimulated by the light and so many people, the person's body suddenly moved, his eyes slowly opened, and his eyes seemed numb

。

Seeing that there were all people outside, the candidates seemed to be more awake, their eyes rolled, and they had a little light.

Even if Huang You has thousands of words to ask in his heart, this is not the time to ask. He shouted with a calm face: "I am the invigilator of the civil service examination in Yangzhou Town, and Huang You, the deputy chief soldier of Yangzhou Town." Candidates, report their names and places of origin. ”

The examinee's lips moved, and he said weakly, "Go back to the invigilator...... If the judge is a judge, the late birth is ...... It's ......" and then he took a big breath, "It's Zhou Zhongying, a student in Xiting Town, Tongzhou." ”

Huang You: "Zhou Sheng, this official asks you, are you still taking the test?" If you can't support it, the official will unlock and let you out. "If this person named Zhou Zhongying gives up this exam, he will immediately ask someone to help him out, put him in a clean house in the Tribute Academy, and then pour a sip of sugar water into it, and wait until the exam is over, and then send him home after the questioning.

But I don't want to, this sentence made Zhou Zhongying, who was in a state of confusion, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His body trembled suddenly, and his voice became louder: "I want to take the test, and I have to take the test for late students." His eyes were full of pleading.

Huang You glanced at Qu Shiyun, and the examiner Qu Shiyun nodded: "Yes, anyway, the exam will be finished in less than half an hour, so we can't get the rules." ”

Zhou Zhongying showed a hint of ecstasy on his face: "Thank you for the examiner, thank you for the examiner." ”

After speaking, he struggled to stand up and staggered towards his seat: "This is the opportunity that the late life has been waiting for for a lifetime, this is the opportunity that the late life has been waiting for a lifetime!" ”

It was so weak that Zhou Zhongying couldn't walk two steps, so he hit the wall, only to hear a "bang", and the entire narrow examination room was trembling: "I want to take the test, I want to take the test, I've been waiting for it all my life, and I can't wait anymore." ”

At this time, the candidate next door suddenly let out a faint cry: "Brother Zhongying, Brother Zhongying, why are you bothering, why bother?" ”

That's right, this person is Lian Qinian, and when he saw his classmates starving like this, he couldn't help but cry.

Qu Shiyun and Huang You wanted to leave, but when they heard this cry, they saw Zhou Zhongying sitting in his seat, holding a pen and writing on the scroll, the two of them seemed to be stunned, but they couldn't move a step.

But I saw that in the dim light, Zhou Zhongying's emaciated body was dragged out by the light with a long shadow, like a lonely little black soul

。

Zhou Zhongying swallowed saliva as she wrote, her throat rolling up and down, making a swallowing sound like crying, as if she was trying to suppress the hunger in her stomach with saliva.

But he has been hungry for three days, and he has long lost the strength in his body, and before he swallows a mouthful of saliva, his body is subconsciously tense, and there are a little tears in his eyes.

"Mommy, Mommy......" he whispered.

Suddenly, Qu Shiyun and Huang You's hearts were sour, and their eyes were hot at the same time.

One of these two people is a jinshi, and the other is a lifter, the difficulties in the imperial examination field, and the hardships of the poor family scholars, are all clear. I also know how difficult it is for this poor scholar in front of him to go on the road to study and progress.

Seeing the situation in front of them, the two remembered what they looked like when they were studying for the exam, and they suddenly couldn't help themselves.

"Hey, Brother Huang, let's go." Qu Shiyun sighed, and then realized his identity: "One of us is the chief examiner, and the other is the invigilator, so we shouldn't stand here." ”

Huang You nodded silently.

Fortunately, in less than half an hour, the candidates handed in their papers and went out, and the student surnamed Zhou did not starve to death in the examination room.

Originally, Huang You planned to call someone to call this Zhou Zhongying for questioning, and ask him if the magistrate had given him the ten yuan for the travel fee, and whether there was any greed for ink. However, according to the system of the imperial examination, no one is allowed to leave the examination room until the examiner and the supervisor have not finished reading the paper and the list is not discharged, and they have to be quarantined in this tribute courtyard for a period of time.

Rules are rules, and everyone must follow them.

Huang You knew that Sun Yuan took this civil service exam very seriously, and he was vaguely aware in his heart that Sun Taichu was stealing the hearts of the people with Donglin and even the imperial court. The imperial examinations of the imperial court and Donglin followed the elite route, while Sun Yuan single-mindedly used his official position and fortune to buy frustrated intellectuals and low-level scholars.

Compared with this major political task, the corruption of a mere county official is nothing, and I will not press it and talk about it later.

Although the civil service examination in Yangzhou Town is not a serious imperial examination, it is also conducted in accordance with the system of the imperial court.

After collecting the papers, it took another three days to recommend the papers from each room

。 Then, Qu Shiyun spent a day and a night reading the Chinese scholar's papers, ranking them, and asking the celebrities to publish them.

Huang You couldn't bear it any longer, and asked directly: "Chief Examiner Qu, is there any Tongzhou scholar Zhou Zhongying?" ”

Qu Shiyun glanced at him solemnly: "Supervisor Huang and Zhou Zhongying knew each other before, if so, in order to avoid suspicion, the old man said that he had to brush his name off the list." ”

"Ah, hit?" Huang You was inexplicably surprised in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Big examiner, Huang You has never seen this Zhou Zhongying before. ”

Qu Shiyun's face looked better: "This Zhou Zhongying is in the middle and sixth on the second list." A few of his current essays are good, but the essays are poor, otherwise, he may be able to enter the first list. ”

"It's good to be hit, it's good to be hit." Huang You breathed a sigh of relief: "I was going to summon him for questioning, but it seems that it is no longer necessary." ”

Qu Shiyun nodded: "According to the rules of Shilin, Chinese candidates should go to the post house where I am staying tomorrow to thank the teacher." If you're looking for that Zhou Zhongying to ask, you can come here. ”

That's right, what Huang You wants to ask is why Zhou Zhongying is starving in the examination room, and where did the ten yuan of travel expenses given to him by the magistrate go? If it was really embezzled by the magistrate, hehe, I can't say that I have to march the military law for Sun Taichu!

Even the candidate's travel expenses dare to be greedy, this person is too bold. In this way, wouldn't it hurt the hearts of the soldiers, and how would Yangzhou Town compete for people's hearts in the future?

It is said that Huang You knew that Tongzhou Zhizhou was originally the entourage of Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the former Chongzhen cabinet, named Yu Zhenlong. After Duke Lu was martyred in Julu, Yang Sichang was afraid that he would take revenge if he didn't die, so he sent three henchmen to check. One of them is Yu Zhenlong.

After Yu Zhenlong inspected it, he returned to Beijing and told Yang Sichang that Lu Xiangsheng was really dead.

As far as Yang Sichang is concerned, he hopes that his subordinates will say that Lu Xiangsheng is not dead, so that he can add charges such as cowardice and fear of war to Lu Xiangsheng's head.

But this Yu Zhenlong was very tough, Yang Sichang whipped him for three days and three nights, and he was about to die, but he still stared at his eyes and said: "Heavenly Dao gods, loyal ministers in vain." ”

In the end, another crime was fabricated to confiscate him.

Later, Sun Yuan remembered this person's affection, so he thought of a way to rescue him and stay by his side

。 Over the years, Yu Zhenlong has been following Sun Yuan, and finally achieved the position of Tongzhou Zhizhou.

It is said that such a loyal and righteous person will never do anything greedy for ink: Yu Zhenlong, Yu Zhenlong, if it was Hao Xiaoren who did this, I am not surprised, why are you?

Huang You is sad, angry, and regretful:

No matter how you look at it, this Yu Zhenlong must be killed.

The next day, Huang You finally met Zhou Zhongying in the post house where Qu Shiyun stayed.

According to the rules of Shilin, Chinese-style students will go to meet the chief examiner after the list, which can be regarded as an official apprenticeship and become his protégé. The most important relationship between civil officials in the Ming Dynasty is protégés, classmates, and the same year, once this relationship is determined, it will accompany them for life, and they will also help each other in the officialdom in the future.

Of course, when you come to apprentice, you also have to give a gift.

But I saw that Qu Shiyun's hall was already full of gifts. I heard that the more than 100 Chinese-style scholars who came to thank the teacher this time gave an average of ten taels of silver each, and they just walked down this trip. In addition to the hard-earned money given by Yangzhou Town, just Xie Shi's silver Qu Qitian has more than 10,000 taels into the account, no wonder the imperial court once every three years in the autumn and spring, for whom to serve as the chief examiner, the officials grabbed their heads and bloodshed. For this purpose, an exam is also conducted in advance. Really, this real benefit is eye-catching.

Qu Shiyun is not from Yangzhou Town, and Huang You has no intention of breaking this unspoken rule, opening his eyes and closing his eyes, pretending not to see it.

Unlike being pale from hunger in the examination room a few days ago, Zhou Zhongying's face was red at this moment, and there was a faint layer of light, he was really refreshed, and when he saw Huang You, he knelt down to meet him: "Student Zhou Zhongying has seen the invigilator." Although the civil service examination in Yangzhou Town is not a serious imperial examination, it is also a kind of origin, and it has been recognized by the imperial court. From now on, I can be regarded as staying up until I get out and want to be an official.

"Get up!" Huang You hurriedly reached out and helped him up from the ground: "Zhou Zhongying." ”

"The students are here."

Huang You: "What is the reason why the **** fainted with hunger in the examination room?" I want to ask you, didn't the magistrate give each reference scholar ten yuan Yingyang, which is enough for your travel expenses, why do you still make it look like that? If there are indeed cheats in it, you boldly say that no matter who is involved or what identity it is, you don't have to be afraid, someone will support you. Is it Tongzhou Zhizhou? ”
