Chapter 34: The Troubles of the Magistrate
Finally, Ning Jiang got rid of everyone and joined his sister.
At this moment, Xiaomeng was so happy that he even smiled in his eyes.
On the other side, Lu Xifu was a little depressed, just because, with Ningjiang being the head of the case, the title of the first talent in Gaosuo County fell on Ningjiang's head completely.
After all, although Ning Jiang pressed her brother down during the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, it was just a poetry meeting after all, and her brother Lu Zhiyuan was a real student, and at this time, a poet of the Yuehu Poetry Club was comparable?
However, now, Ningjiang is not only a student, but also the head of the case in the government examination. Even Lu Xifu had heard that in the capital, those high-ranking officials gathered in private according to the ranking in the imperial examination.
She stomped her foot in hatred and turned away.
In the next few days, according to the customary rules, Ning Jiang first visited the prefect with other new talents to thank him for the "grace of cultivation".
It can be said that it is a very common thing for students to get together, and Ning Jiang's practice naturally makes him inevitably ostracized among these students, some people think he is too arrogant, and some people think he is unkind, but he himself doesn't care about it. Just because, from now on, he must do his best to prepare for the state exam this fall.
Once he gets too close to these students, he will inevitably be invited to various banquets and poetry meetings, wasting time on meaningless things such as drinking orders and visiting green houses, but he doesn't have this time.
Do the math, it has been more than half a year since the rebirth, and Taishan Fengzen is just a matter of the year after tomorrow. He must pass the state exam this fall, and next March will be the exam, and he will take the exam once every three years, if he fails, he will never have a chance, and he can only watch the Yuan Demon Emperor completely defeat Emperor Wen, followed by the chaos of the world and the destruction of the Great Zhou.
If you can't help the Great Zhou Dynasty keep half of the country, it will be a barbarian invasion directly, then even if he is in the chaos, it will be difficult to do anything in the complete chaos, even if he can come out in the end, he must go through more than ten or twenty years of troubled times, and he can't establish an effective force that can effectively deal with the Yuan Demon Emperor and the Mengbing Iron Cavalry, then the final result is still the Mengbing Iron Cavalry sweeping the world, and the Yuan Demon Emperor is invincible and unstoppable.
It is precisely because of this that for him now, every inch of time is worth an inch, and there is no time to waste on all kinds of unnecessary entertainment.
Of course, before that, there is one thing that must be done first......
***
Cao Qiding has been a little troubled recently, and the reason for his troubles is that this "great blessing" in Ningjiang is too big.
According to the practice of the Great Zhou, the head of the case in the government examination, with the guarantee and recommendation of the prefect, can enter Beijing to study in the country.
Guozixue is the highest institution of learning in the whole country, generally speaking, only high-ranking officials above the fifth grade, or the descendants of the royal family or the same level of Confucian generals above the county king can enter the Guozixue, in addition, even the best in the state examination also have the qualifications to enter the Guozixue, the head of the government examination, only in the case of special recommendation by the prefect, can enter the Guozixue, but generally speaking, if it is not a student with a particularly good character, the prefect will not go to the special recommendation.
But the problem is that this kid Ning Jiang still has the name of "filial piety".
Filial piety is not good? This is a slap in the face of the prefect and Cao Qiding, the prefect of the county.
Not to mention, Dian Hong attaches great importance to Ningjiang, and has intended to recommend Ning Jiang to enter Guozixue, even if it is only from the perspective of political performance, the filial piety of the county is admitted to the head of the case in the government examination, this kind of "good story" is also very helpful to Dian Hong's official reputation, after all, it is not an easy task to be able to combine "case head" and "filial piety" in one, this kind of student with excellent character and learning, if the prefect does not recommend it to Guozixue, it is impossible to say.
But if Ning Jiang really entered the Guozi School, Cao Qiding would really have no way to deal with him. Everyone knows that as the "highest university", in Guozi Studies, the knowledge itself is no longer important, the important thing is that the students in it are either royal relatives or generals, and the lecturers in it are not only doctors specially appointed by the imperial court, but also many high-ranking officials.
For the hopeless sons of high-ranking officials in the imperial examination, after the gate, it is a gilded place, three years in the Guozi School, after coming out, he has the qualification to be an official, for the students who rely on their own ability to enter the Guozi School, it is a good network in advance, make friends with all kinds of powerful people on the dragon platform.
It can be said that once Ning Jiang entered Guozi School, Cao Qiding really didn't dare to touch him!
If he knew that he would be able to pass the first case, he really shouldn't have been allowed to become filial piety...... Cao Qiding was annoyed in his heart.
Just a government test case, or just a filial piety, are all easy to do, these two together, the lethality is too great, in any county can be used as an example for publicity, and then considering Ningjiang's "Long Song Xing", at the beginning of the year, it was presented to the imperial court with the recommendation of Dian Hong, I heard that those high-ranking officials and dignitaries copied it home one by one, and let their naughty children recite it, as long as Ningjiang himself is willing, it can be said that there is no obstacle to enter Guozixue.
Thinking of this, Cao Qiding's headache was almost explosive.
Fortunately, that night, a person secretly found him and secretly reported to him some things in the Gao Suo Ning Clan Association, and his headache was relieved a lot.
Ning Jiang finally proposed to the elders of the clan to move the ancestral grave, of course, when it came to the ancestral grave, at the beginning, it must have encountered strong resistance.
But for Cao Qiding, this is obviously a good sign, which means that Ningjiang, this kid, is really afraid, "Dafu" has been fulfilled, and Ningjiang, who is worried that there will be a "big disaster" in the second half of the year, has begun to do it.
This made Cao Qiding breathe a sigh of relief, now as long as he waited for that kid in Ningjiang to deliver the Little Parrot Continent to him, and then he could find an excuse to dig out the Little Sui Hou Palace in the Little Parrot Continent. When the time comes, wealth is in hand, and it doesn't matter if this small county official is inappropriate.
However, after a few days, the situation seems to have changed a little.
Ning Jiang and several elders of the clan went to Little Parrot Continent, and after they came back, they no longer talked about the relocation of the ancestral grave, but quietly discussed something in secret.
Cao Qiding summoned Zuo Liangpeng, Yu Huacan, and Ao Yao over to discuss with them. In order to find out what kind of fame Ning Jiang and the heads of the divided families were doing, Ao Yao relied on his martial arts skills to sneak into the place where Ning Jiang was discussing with the heads of the divided families, and secretly talked to them.
The voices of these people were too quiet, and Ao Yao didn't know what they were discussing, but he faintly heard the word "Baoguang......
