Yangzhou Town, Tongzhou Gongyuan. The update is so fast.

Seeing so many candidates coming, Qu Shiyun finally 'revealed' a smile on his face. Xin said: "This Huang You is worthy of being the chief thinker of Lu Jiandou and now Yingchuan Hou Sun Yuan, and he is also capable of doing things. ”

At the end of last month, there were less than 200 people registered for the civil service examination in Yangzhou Town, so it can be said that as long as you come to the exam, you must pass. Such a deserted scene made Qu Shiyun feel ashamed.

But when the exam was approaching, the candidates didn't know where they came from, and it was a blowout, and by the end of the deadline, the number of people had reached an astonishing thousand. Come to think of it, the students were embarrassed to apply for the exam at the beginning, for fear of stigma in Shilin.

Later, as the examination deadline was getting closer and closer, the talents still couldn't resist the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of being officials and making a fortune, so they stood up one after another, received the travel fee from Yangzhou Town, and ran to Tongzhou with a bite of their teeth.

While Qu Shiyun was satisfied, he was also very dissatisfied with Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan conducted such a nondescript examination, which simply "excited" the evil of greed and 'desire' in people's "nature", and the corruption of the atmosphere of the southeast Shilin was simply outrageous.

But...... Qu Shiyun vaguely knew that the reason why his mentor was able to preside over the imperial court and enter the cabinet in the future was because of this Sun Yuan's efforts. Moreover, to be Ying Tianfu Yin by himself, he also had to be nodded by Yingchuan Hou.

After this civil service examination, he has been completely tied to Yangzhou Town, with both glory and loss.

The teacher has an order, and it is like that.

Thinking of this, Qu Shiyun's heart suddenly moved: It seems that this Sun Yuan does not seem to be Ma Yaocao's party. Maybe he and Ma Shiying are just a cooperative relationship, if you really want to talk about the party, the teacher, Sun Taichu and the old man are the --- money party of the family?

Qu Shiyun's heart was 'mixed' and 'chaotic'.

……

At the end of the day, the big 'door' of the Gongyuan was opened. Thousands of people poured in. Zhou Zhongying couldn't be discouraged, so he also rushed in, reported his name and place of origin to the examiner, and then was assigned to No. 18 Yipeng

。 That's a good lottery, eighteen, to be sent.

There are so many people, it's crowded. Zhou Zhongying held the examination basket in one hand and the papers and vouchers in the other, like a flat boat, and was washed by the 'waves' and was unstable.

Around, there were all weak faces flashing, and many people looked very familiar, probably having met in the past when they participated in the Shilin Wen Talks. This time, they all came, and they all wanted to be officials.

Like Zhou Zhongying, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads, for fear of being recognized by acquaintances and losing face.

For this exam, Yangzhou Town has invested a lot of money to repair the Tribute Academy. The tall Mingyuan building has been replaced with glazed tiles, and under the light, it is really brilliant.

Above, you can vaguely see many big people standing behind the pheasant, looking down with a monotube.

At the entrance of the building' stood two rows of heavily armed soldiers, both of whom were wearing iron clips that were so bright that they could see people's faces, with a goose feather knife hanging from their waists and a long Miao knife in their hands.

These are all brave men who have experienced countless killings, and when they go there, they will murderously 'force' people. The 'tide' of people who had been crowded before suddenly fell silent, and all the soldiers lined up and walked inside one by one.

"Report, the inspectors have no 'private' dealings."

"Report, there is no disadvantage for the devoting personnel to pass it on their behalf."

Newspapers kept running up the tower and telling the overseers above.

Zhou Zhongying had seen this kind of situation before, but he had been admitted to the imperial examination all his life. The specification in front of him was actually a provincial township test, which made him feel a big shock in his heart, the action of this Yangzhou town is really big, it is simply a split feudalism and a unique country.

Entering the Mingyuan Building, the front is where the chief and deputy examiners read the papers, and on both sides are several rows of candidates' examination sheds, with dozens of rooms in each row.

After entering, there was a long case, and there were several officials behind it.

As an old horse, Zhou Zhongying naturally knew that this was called the ruler case, which was used to check the candidate's true body.

He followed the crowd over, and an official politely asked his name, checked the admission ticket, checked his appearance, and then took a mold and printed cinnabar, stamped the seal on his examination paper, handed the paper back, and waved: "Go."

！ ”

There were too many people, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he took the paper, Zhou Zhongying trotted for a while, came to the B-shaped examination shed, looked for room 18, and was about to enter. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure perched beside him, as if he was carefully examining himself.

Zhou Zhongying screamed in his heart, Huo Di turned around, and found that it was his classmate Lian Qi who was standing beside him.

He also dressed up as a showman, carrying an exam basket in his hand and holding a test paper.

If I'm not mistaken, he's coming to take the test.

accidentally bumped into an acquaintance, and the sweat of Zhou Zhongying's vest came out, so he didn't feel embarrassed.

He didn't wait for Lian Qinian to speak, so he asked directly, and there was even a hint of disdain in his look: "Brother Lian, you also came to the exam, didn't you say that you had no intention of becoming famous?" ”

Lian Qilian's face flushed slightly, and he muttered, "I...... I, I, I, after coming down, I thought about it, after all, Shangjia is a cheap industry, and the imperial examination is the journey, and after reading the sage books for a lifetime, I have to try it anyway to be willing. ”

Zhou Zhongying: "What is your shed?" ”

Lian Qi Nian: "No. 17 of the B shed." ”

This is a coincidence, Zhou Zhongying's eighteenth, even the seventeenth of the New Year, the two classmates are only separated by a wall.

Zhou Zhongying: "Go in, I wish you success." ”

"Encouragement, encouragement." Even begging for a few snorts, he went into his examination shed in shame, and did it for a long time, and waited until the red glow on his face subsided, then he woke up, and scolded in his heart: Zhou Zhongying, don't you also come to take the civil service exam, you want to be the official of the Marquis of Yingchuan, why do you still look at me like that? Hypocrites, hypocrites, morally degenerate, people's hearts are not ancient!

Zhou Zhongying was very proud of his wit for a while, and sat in the examination room for a long time, only then did he observe the situation inside, and he didn't feel that he praised it again: Hou Ye is really sincere in recruiting idle people this time!

It turned out that this room not only had a freshly painted writing wrench and chairs, but also a pot and stove and other cooking utensils in the back.

As for the water tank used by the candidates to drink water and the 'urine' bucket for urine, they were also cleaned.

After entering the examination room, I waited for a long time, and the chief examiner and a large group of officials, such as the invigilator, the transcriptionist, and the room teacher, came in from the outside in a large sedan chair

。

There are gongs and drums in front of the road, and there are also 'swings' and 'swings' in the back.

The sedan chair in which the examiner and the outer curtain officer were riding were all removed from the surrounding curtains, and in the light and shadow of the lantern, there was a white-bearded old man wearing a red official uniform sitting in the middle of the eight-lifted sedan chair. No need to ask, it must be the main examiner of this Yangzhou Town Civil Service Examination.

As soon as he saw Qu Shiyun's fairy appearance on the sedan chair, Zhou Zhongying admired it and couldn't help but praise it in his heart: He is worthy of being a well-known gentleman in the world in the original household department. If Jinke is successful and becomes his 'protégé', it can be regarded as a thing worth boasting about.

It was lively for a long time, and when they all entered the Tribute Academy, Huang You dropped the arrow. With a bang, the soldiers closed the big 'door' and then clicked it shut.

Not only that, but the big "gate" and "gate" entrance are also placed with deer.

Huang You waved his hand again, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers ran out and blocked the courtyard walls respectively.

In the lobby of the examination room, one after another, the external curtain officials reported to the chief examiner.

"The inspector is in place."

"Kneel, get up!" There are even officials who roll call, could it be that the Ministry of Rites also sent people. Maybe it's true, anyway, now the imperial court has been controlled by Ma Shiying, and the Ministry of Rites has also been replaced by Ma Dang. The imperial court also approved of this examination in Yangzhou Town, and it was possible to send a few officials over.

"The requisitionist is in place!"

"Kneel, get up!"

"The sealing officer is in place!"

"Kneel, get up!"

"The transcription officer is in place!"

"Kneel, get up!"

"The right reader is in place!"

"Kneel, get up!"

……

Zhou Zhongying saw the 'fine' color in the examination room, and he didn't feel a trance

。 In a trance, I seemed to be back in the examination room of the last township exam, and it was the same situation.

Suddenly, three whips rang out, bringing him to his senses.

This is followed by the sound of the examiner's "open book", which is transmitted in a relay manner around the examination room.

The whole examination room was filled with the sound of turning pieces of paper and grinding ink, and when Zhou Zhongying received the first question paper, his fingers trembled slightly, and he silently muttered in his heart: "Don't suffer from no position" and "Don't suffer from no place"!

The so-called "no suffering" comes from the "Analects" and "Liren" chapters, and the original sentence is "Zi said: If you don't suffer from no position, you can't stand if you don't suffer." Don't suffer from self-knowledge, seek to know. Roughly speaking, Confucius said, "You don't have to worry about whether you have a position of your own, you should worry about why you have a position in that position." You don't have to worry about no one understanding you, just pursue being understood by others from what you do. ”

The reason why Zhou Zhongying prayed like this was not because he knew the exam questions in advance, but because he felt that the questions of this subject were likely to come from this sentence.

When he was gossiping in the snow in Xiting and Lian Qi Nian, Zhou Zhongying was actually tempted by the civil service examination in today's Keyang Town. I also know that Lian Qinian and Ningxiang Army have a close relationship, and since Lian Qinian has this relationship, maybe I know some clues about this subject question.

So, I pretended to ask him for a few words of current writing, and among them, Lian Qinian said this.

Saying unintentionally, listening intentionally, after coming down, Zhou Zhongying made a few eight-strand essays according to this topic, and after repeated revisions, he kept them in mind.

A thin piece of title paper, Zhou Zhongying took a lot of effort to see clearly---- "No Place"

"I'm going to win, I'm going to win! Lian Qi Nian, you villain, really bought the title in advance. Zhou Zhongying felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart: "I am in this subject, I will be successful, I will be an official, I will take a concubine!" ”

At that moment, he didn't delay any longer, picked up the pen, and wrote on the volume: "A gentleman uses the world's learning, and he does not suffer from it. The husband and the knowledge are also those who exist in people; Immediately and knowingly, he who exists in himself is also ......"

The article was written in less than an hour.
