According to the usual practice, the government will hold a banquet to celebrate such a grand event as the edict and reward after the ceremony. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but now is not as good as in the past, or that sentence, the two saints were taken captive to the north to eat the nest, are you embarrassed to eat big fish and meat?

Therefore, after the reward was completed, the envoy was invited into the back hall by Kang Yunzhi. Other officials and scholars congratulated the Li family, father and son, and it was estimated that they couldn't wait for the prefect's hospitality, so they all dispersed on their own.

The family of three was carried home by a sedan chair again, and when they entered the house, Li Baimeng sat on the chair and didn't know whether he was reminiscing about the previous glory, or he was so stuffy that he suffered from heat stroke, anyway, he didn't say a word, and his eyes were dull.

Li Ang didn't care about reading the contents of the edict, so he hurriedly went to get water for his parents to wipe their sweat and clean their hands, and poured two cups of cold white for his father and mother to drink.

Li Daguan came back to his senses, and after seeing that his son was busy, he was so moved that he couldn't do it, and called softly: "Xunchen, come here." ”

Li Ang responded and stood still in front of him, but saw his father's hand repeatedly raised and put down, and he was puzzled for a while, and asked, "Dad, do you want to hug me or beat me?" ”

Li Bai's brewing emotions made his sentence disappear directly, and he scolded with a smile: "They are all Jiupin officials, why aren't they serious?" It really should be played! ”

When he mentioned this, Li Ang remembered to read the edict, but before his hand touched it, he heard his father shout: "Don't move!" First go to the bath and change clothes, burn incense and pray before you can ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw his son unfold an edict with a bang and look at it a few times, it was estimated that it was wrong, and then he opened another letter with a bang, and then he looked at it carefully.

Li Ang didn't have much interest in that cultivator of the ninth grade, but it was the sentence "and free from solution" that caught his attention. Exemption means exemption from the test. In other words, if he goes to the exam, he can directly take the provincial exam without going through the exam.

After figuring out the meaning, Leon's heart raced.

In the first year of Jingkang, that is, last year, the imperial court should have opened a department to recruit scholars. However, in the spring, Tokyo was still besieged by the Jin army, so the spring festival could not be held.

And because he did not participate in the seven-year examination of Xuanhe, even if Zhao Gou issued an edict to open the department in the spring of next year, it has nothing to do with him. If you want to take the exam, you have to wait at least until the second imperial examination of the Jianyan Dynasty.

But now he has obtained the qualification of "exemption", which means that he can participate in the first imperial examination of the Jianyan Dynasty. It's just that the exemption qualification in the Song Dynasty is divided into two types: single subject exemption and lifelong exemption, I don't know which one I belong to?

"Since it is not indicated, it is naturally a lifelong exemption, you don't even know this?" Li Bai finally seized the opportunity to show off in front of his son, and he was very proud.

"The child is stupid, and he still asks his father for advice?"

"Actually, this exemption doesn't mean much." Li Bai put on the posture of the predecessors in the field. "Think about it, if you are really talented and learned, you are naturally not afraid of solving the test, if you have a belly of straw, it will make you free from solving for life, but can you pass the provincial test?"

Seeing that his son was thoughtful, he continued to taunt: "On the contrary, this nine-rank cultivator is not trivial. Don't look at the low grade, there are few people, but it's an official rank. Oh, by the way, you don't have to go to school in the future, or those masters will have to make a fool of you when they see it. ”

Speaking of this, he took a sip of the teacup and moistened his throat, and then explained: "Since you have become an official, then you don't have to be with the white-bodied scholars in the exam, but to participate in the 'locked hall test' held by the imperial court alone for people like you who have officials." I remember that the locked hall solution test was one out of ten, which was higher than the general test. ”

Li Ang interjected when he heard this: "I have been exempted from the examination for life, what does it matter to me if the admission rate of the locked hall is high?" ”

"Oh, yes." Li Bai scratched his scalp, a little excited, but soon became happy again. "There is another advantage of the lock hall test, that is, as long as you can pass the provincial test, you will never be ranked second class."

Suppressing his excitement, Leon tried his best to sound as calm as possible: "I don't know why? ”

"This is called 'Sheng'en Jia', because the people who participated in the lock hall test are all officials, and they are already among the preferential treatment of the imperial court, if they can pass the provincial examination, then they should naturally be more courteous." Li Bai replied.

Li Ang was excited for a while, and suddenly questioned: "I'm afraid this is unfair to those poor scholars, right?" ”

"Somewhat." Li Bai said frankly. "Originally, the test of locking the hall was three out of ten, which encroached on the quota of the scholars of the poor family, and made Shilin resentful. Later, it was changed to one out of ten, and there were not many officials who participated in the imperial examination, and occasionally the number of people could not be gathered, and several places had to cooperate in one test, so no one said anything. However, there is a restriction on the locking hall test, which has not changed since the founding of the country. ”

"What restrictions?"

"Officials are not the first."

Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, does my father look like a champion in my appearance?" ”

Li Bai thought that he had been to the province four times and had sunk in the sand, and his son was his own, so he shook his head and sighed: "It shouldn't be." I don't expect you to be the top student in the exam, I just want to be ranked third, and then promoted to the first class. ”

Hearing him say frustrating words, Li Ang pretended to be displeased: "They are all non-commissioned officers, how can they not speak lightly or severely?" ”

I thought that my father would smile when he heard this, after all, the "special performance of the famous Jinshi" is also called Jinshi, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of his "Jinshi dreams".

Unexpectedly, Li Bai only smiled faintly when he heard this, and he didn't comment.

Li Ang asked the reason, and only then did he learn that the people of Li Daguan did not look down on the origin of this emperor's imperial gift at all.

The so-called special performance of the famous Jinshi, is those who have taken the imperial examination for a lifetime, but have never been able to get to the top, the court estimates that you will be like this before you breathe, so you will choose those who are over fifty years old and have five experiences in the province, or those who have reached the age of sixty and have four experiences in the province, set up another examination room, release water for you to take the exam for a round, and then give you the title of Jinshi, go home to eat the imperial grain and retire.

Although this also belongs to the preferential treatment policy of the national nurses, to put it mildly, I just don't want to see you die in the examination room, and give you the most worthless jinshi.

Li Bai and Jiang Yi are obviously brothers in the same class, why haven't they been in contact for several years? It was because Jiang Yi had to find a "special performance famous jinshi" background, and Li Bai thought that this was insulting to the teacher.

"Dad, then you begged Uncle Jiang to let me be exempted from military service......" Li Ang realized how difficult it was for this big father to be at this time.

"Alas, don't talk about this, aren't you earning back your face for me now? If you take the Jinshi exam in the future, then your Lao Tzu will completely beat your Uncle Jiang in this life. Li Bai smiled wistfully.

Thinking of Jiang Jin, Li Ang secretly said that it was not necessarily, but he said: "My son must work hard." ”
