Qiao Weiren went out of the Criminal Department, hurriedly returned to the Yamen to look through the official register, and really found a vacancy in the remote Jiannan Road, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Kuai Zhengpeng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the messenger of the annunciation finished speaking, Kuai Zhengpeng sneered and said, "Go to that place where rabbits don't to be the magistrate?" Kuai said that he would not go anything! ”

The two messengers touched their noses and returned to the official department with their heads drooping, and Qiao Weiren slapped the table loudly when he heard the report, and shouted, "Don't go?" Okay, I'll give this magistrate to someone else and ask him to stay in Chang'an for the rest of his life! ”

Zhang Baoer also felt strange when she heard that Kuai Zhengpeng had rejected the news that he had been released to the county, so she wanted to ask what was going on.

When Zhang Baoer saw Kuai Zhengpeng, Kuai Zhengpeng was holding a fir board in his hand, looking left and right in a gesture, Zhang Baoer didn't understand what Kuai Zhengpeng was doing with that fir board, and after listening to Kuai Zhengpeng's explanation, Zhang Baoer understood his intentions.

It turned out that the palace was decorating the three major halls in the past few days, and the craftsmen used paint to paint all the windows and doors of the hall, but in the blink of an eye, Li Xian, who was in the hall with the pungent smell of paint, felt itchy all over his body, and had a small red bump all over his body. The doctors had no choice but to advertise and recruit talents.

Kuai Zhengpeng has already inquired and understood that the paint painted on the three major halls was paid tribute by Yulin, and Yulin is his hometown. In his hometown, there is an earthwork that specializes in treating lacquer sores, that is, boiling medicine with a cedar coffin board buried in the ground, which can cure this kind of lacquer sores.

Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened and said, "So, you want to use Qiao Weiren's father's cedar coffin board to treat Your Majesty's illness?" ”

"Definitely, I want him to put a Jingguan ...... for me"

……

Kuai Zhengpeng unveiled the list and came to the Tai Hospital and said the earthwork. As soon as the imperial doctors heard this strange recipe, they all had doubts in their hearts, so they took Kuai Zhengpeng to Li Xian.

Kuai Zhengpeng is proficient in medical science, and when he said the pharmacology of the fir coffin board breaking the paint sores and detoxifying gas, Li Xian also nodded again and again, and when the doctors asked where to find the fir coffin board, Kuai Zhengpeng said: "Only the fir coffin board of the Qiao family on Longshou Mountain is the most suitable!" ”

When Li Xian heard this, he immediately ordered to summon Qiao Weiren.

Qiao Weiren was shocked when he heard this, it turned out that Kuai Zhengpeng was calculating his father's coffin. People say that one grave, two rooms and three eight characters, his father's grave site is a good feng shui treasure, if His Majesty really believes in Kuai Zhengpeng's bad idea, take his father's coffin board to treat himself, then the Qiao family's feng shui can be completely destroyed, and he may not be able to do it steadily!

Qiao Weiren knelt on the ground and insisted that Kuai Zhengpeng was talking nonsense.

Kuai Zhengpeng sneered for a while, and made a head-killing gesture on his neck with his hand: "If the prescription I prescribed is ineffective, please cut off my head!" ”

Zhongzong was covered in sores, itchy and unbearable, now let alone digging out Qiao's father's coffin, he agreed to try it even if he used Qiao's father's corpse to boil medicine. Your Majesty has an order, and Qiao Weiren doesn't dare not agree.

Qiao Weiren returned to the house with a sad face, and before he could sit down, Zhang Baoer came to visit.

Speaking of this, Qiao Weiren could only sigh, and Zhang Bao'er deliberately said: "Lord Qiao, if you don't think about it anymore, Ling Zun's coffin will be dug up early tomorrow morning!" ”

Qiao Weiren heard Zhang Bao'er's voice, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, please think of a way, my father's coffin had better not be moved!" ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled and said: "Actually, it's not impossible to move Lingzun's coffin, you just need to give Kuai Zhengpeng an official position in the imperial court!" ”

"He wants to be a Beijing official?" Qiao Weiren said with a frown.

Zhang Bao'er nodded and said: "I heard that the counselor has returned to his hometown two days ago, and the ministry is ready to promote the deputy envoy to the doctor, and the position of the deputy envoy is vacant, so it is better to give the position of the deputy envoy to Kuai Zhengpeng." ”

Although the deputy envoy has no real power, he is also from the official position of the fourth grade, Qiao Weiren frowned when he heard it. In order to keep his father's body from being disturbed, in the end, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

……

The imperial examination began in the early morning, and when the street drums were still echoing in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, those people from all over the country had already rushed to the examination room. The place of the examination is located in the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, which is one of the six central institutions of the Tang Dynasty, in charge of the world's etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes.

Before the start of the examination, the examination room of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites was already heavily guarded, a large number of soldiers guarded around the examination room, and a thorn fence was set up outside the entrance of the examination room, and every candidate who entered the examination room had to be searched and carefully checked to prevent entrainment or impersonation.

Since each exam takes place from dawn to dark, candidates need to bring some daily necessities when entering the test, including charcoal braziers, food bowls, tea sets, candles, etc. The charcoal brazier is used to warm the sencha hot rice, and the food is prepared for one day, and the candidates with poor conditions cannot prepare so many things, so they bring some dry food for a day. Of course, stationery supplies such as pens, ink, and inkstones are indispensable. These items are also a lot together, and the candidates from wealthy families are sent outside the examination room by servants, and the candidates from poor families have to carry them by themselves.

The examination papers will be distributed at the beginning of the day, and the examination time will be postponed after dark, and the extension period will be controlled within the time when the three candles are burned out. The examiner has a standard candle burned, and when the last candle runs out, there will be a loud call to inform the candidate.

For many candidates, the biggest hurdle is the release of the list, and the early morning of the day of the release of the list will reveal their fate.

There are three gates in the south of the imperial city, the main gate is the Suzaku Gate in the middle, the east side is the Anmenmen, and after entering the Anmenmen, you will pass through the Taichang Temple and the Taifu Temple to the north and then arrive at the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites. The south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites is adjacent to Anshangmen Street in the east, and you can see a unique high wall from Anshangmen Street, which is the east wall that makes candidates yearn for and be uneasy. The east wall is more than a foot high, and there is a low wall built outside the wall, and the gap between the low wall and the east wall is full of thorns. The east wall was built to hang the Jinshi Bang, and the low wall and thorns in front of the wall were to prevent anyone from approaching the Jinshi Bang and making irrational moves.

The results of the list finally came out, the first place Zong Xuan, the second place Zhang Ruoyu, the third place Liu Chen, and Zhang Jiuling ranked fourth. Yang Chengyi, Chang Jingzhong, and Wen Jun, who lived in Tianhe Inn, fell off the list.

The proposition of this scientific examination is "to make a fortune with the theme of Xingyue", all of which is carried out in accordance with Zong Chuke's design, in order to let his grandson "justifiably" win the examination, he asked Zong Xuan to write a good article first, and then let Cheng Zishan come to the house to see and memorize it "unintentionally". The treacherous and cunning Zong Chuke didn't look at the wrong person, Cheng Zishan really had a scheming, Zong Xuan's "Xingyue Fu" was unmatched, all the examiners were full of praise, and Zong Xuan won the champion without a doubt.
