The private room was very quiet, no one spoke, only the heavy breathing of Sun Yuankun and others.

Sun Yuankun's face was red for a while, white for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and as for Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang, they couldn't speak. As for Xiong Zijian, he seemed calmer, he probably made a decision a long time ago.

In fact, Su Tiancheng also understood that Luo Zijian would definitely stay by his side, and that talisman was the best explanation, if Luo Zijian was ready to leave, he would not give himself that talisman.

A full five minutes passed, and everyone in the private room was standing.

Su Tiancheng looked calm and light, and Luo Zijian looked calm, but Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang were different, their expressions were solemn, and they seemed to be making a major decision.

Sun Yuankun finally picked up the big bowl, and then, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang also picked up the big bowl.

"Su Gongzi is a real hero, we are convinced, a word to wake up the dreamer, if we continue like this, presumably after death, we will not have the shame to see the old man and the old lady, if Su Gongzi is willing to accept us, please drink this bowl of wine."

Su Tiancheng couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly lifted the big bowl that had been put down.

This bowl of wine has an extraordinary meaning.

Everyone smashed the bowl, including Wang Dazhi.

"Su Gongzi, we are soldiers, eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, we don't have so many thoughts, since we follow Gongzi and die to serve him, only Gongzi is the first to look forward, when the old man was wronged, there are many brothers, thinking of following the old man, but the old lady told us, don't do this, there is always a time to see the sun, we finally understand."

"General Sun said so, I am really a little embarrassed, the world is sinister, I also understand, but I think, rather than envy the fish in the abyss, it is better to retreat and form a net, as long as the brothers work together, you can always face all difficulties, you are soldiers, you have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and you understand the cycle of life better, I don't want to say any big truth, in the future, we will share weal and woe, and we must break out of the world."

Su Tiancheng couldn't have imagined that the pro-military camp led by Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang had 3,000 people, plus many family members, close to the scale of 10,000 people.

He was a little dizzy, what kind of concept is this, not to mention anything else, just life, it is a huge expense, it seems that his task is very arduous, although there are more than 30,000 taels of gold in the house, but these gold, it is impossible to last for a long time, only from the land to find a way.

Pingyang Mansion is its own base camp, and it can be regarded as a logistics base, but according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, he is a palace test high school, and it is impossible to return to Pingyang Mansion City.

At this moment, Su Tiancheng vaguely made up his mind, even if he was in high school, he couldn't stay in the capital, he had to go to the place, so that it was possible to be with many brothers, and it was possible to slowly gather strength, slowly move forward, and slowly change history.

Sun Yuankun was familiar with the rules of the imperial court, he said the way, the brothers were waiting for news in Mount Emei, when they needed it, when they would go out of the mountain, they all listened to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, and the implication was to wait for Su Tiancheng's imperial examination to be completely over, and see how things developed.

Su Tiancheng agreed, and asked Wang Dazhi to go back to the mansion immediately, take five hundred taels of gold, and give these gold to Sun Yuankun, so that the brothers and their families in the mountains can improve their lives.

As for Xiong Zijian, he temporarily returned to Pingyang Mansion and waited for news in the mansion.

Su Tiancheng, who was in a good mood, finally got drunk, and this time he was very drunk.

The township test is over, and the tense marking begins.

Xu Eryi and Fu Youliang have become the busiest people, all the exam papers, the four same examiners read them first, and handed them the excellent answer sheets in the middle, and they made the decision the last.

Xu Eryi is the director of the Ministry of Industry, and the rank of the sixth grade is higher than that of Fu Youliang, so the most decisive decision on admission is still in the hands of Xu Eryi, of course, Fu Youliang's opinion is also crucial.

Although there are three exams, and each candidate also has three papers, the marking of the township examination has formed a habit, that is, only the first test paper is paid, which is also because there are too many candidates and too many test papers, and it is impossible to have so much energy, after all, there are only six examiners and fellow examiners, after all, there are only ten days.

Besides, the test paper done in the first session is also the content of the four books. As long as the test paper of the first exam is read, there is no need to pay too much attention to the subsequent test papers.

In this way, the examiner's task is much lighter.

Despite this, several examiners and fellow examiners are still busy in the dark, they don't have time to go out to eat, the meals are sent in by hand, while eating and reading the test papers, that is, going to the toilet, they are all trotting all the way, starting to mark the papers every day, and only resting when they are young, strictly speaking, they are harder than the students of the township examination.

People are not iron-clad, in this case, it is not uncommon for some good test papers to be missed, and it is precisely for this reason that the examiner can take care of some relationships, find the corresponding test number in the middle of the test papers that have been eliminated, and directly admit this person.

Xu Eryi would not do this, and when he came to Shanxi to preside over the township examination, he made up his mind to recruit talents for the imperial court.

What happened in the first year and the second year of Chongzhen, he remembered it deeply, especially Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, which caused the situation in Liaodong to deteriorate sharply.

Because of his report, he did not get the emperor's approval, and he resigned in anger.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the emperor was Xiong Tingbi Zhaoxue, and in the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was also killed.

He was very happy to hear the news.

In the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the prince Taibao and the head of the household department were strictly recommended, and he was reinstated and served as the director of the Ministry of Industry.

In March this year, Liu Xingzhi, the general of Phi Dao, made a rebellion and killed another general, Chen Jisheng, but he was also killed by his subordinates, and the two main generals of Phi Dao were all killed.

Becoming the chief examiner of the township examination, this is something he did not expect, the emperor has such trust, he is trembling, he is exhausted, and he must do his best to admit the talents.

Three days have passed, Xu Eryi slept very little, and among the examiners and fellow examiners, he was the hardest, so tired that he couldn't even walk.

When he entered the room, Xu Er found that several fellow examiners who were marking the papers had gathered together, looking at a test paper, and one of the examiners was even reading aloud softly.

"What's going on?"

Xu Eryi walked over slowly, how could he delay time when the marking work was so busy.

A few fellow examiners who came over saw Dong Chang, and hurriedly returned to their positions and continued to read the test papers.

The examiner with the test paper in his hand stood up and saluted Xu Er.

"My lord, the lower officials think that this test paper, the article is really well written, majestic, implicit but not revealing, it is a rare good article."

"Oh, show me it."

I heard that there are good articles, Xu Eryi also began to pay attention, to know Lu Dao, the same examiner who marks the papers, the articles he reads every day, I don't know how many Lu Dao, if it is not a particularly excellent article, they will not be able to pay attention to it, and if they can get such an evaluation, it means that this article is particularly good.

As soon as Xu Er took the test paper, he stood in place, and after only reading a short paragraph, he felt that it was really good.

"Okay, I'll take this test paper, and you guys will continue to be busy."

Hurriedly returned to the house, Xu Er carefully read the article, at first glance did not feel very special, but felt that this article is indeed a little different, Baguwen is not very easy to write, but this article can actually write some new ideas, and other articles, there is a more obvious difference.

When he read it for the second time, Xu Eryi couldn't help but shoot the case, and he even forgot to look at the test number of this test paper.

After reading it three times, he walked back and forth in the room, calmed down a little, and began to pay attention to the test number of the test paper.

He took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which all the test numbers were recorded, and each test number had a corresponding name.

After matching the exam number and name, Xu Er thought for a while, and asked the clerk waiting outside to find all the remaining two test papers of this exam, and he wanted to take a serious look at it.

Xu Eryi was a little excited, walking back and forth in the room, so that he didn't notice when the clerk came in with a stack of test papers.

After reading the three test papers, Xu Eryi was a little shocked, the three articles are majestic, and the most important thing is that the views revealed in them are faintly consistent with his thoughts. You must know that these candidates have not been able to enter the imperial court, they are studying hard every day, and it is impossible to know many things inside and outside the imperial court, but this candidate can show some concepts of governing the country in the article, which is commendable.

Soon, Fu Youliang also came over and began to read these three articles.

The marking work, so busy, can delay so much time for a candidate's test paper, the meaning is of course clear.

Xu Eryi would never have imagined that the candidates who made these three articles were familiar with history and had also analyzed his character.

Fu Youliang read the three articles, listened to some of Xu Eryi's comments, and agreed.

Fu Youliang's point of view is very clear, a candidate can do a good job in the first exam essay, it is very good, this examinee, the three examinee's essays, are all done in a colorful way, it is not simple, such a candidate is definitely talented.

The opinions of the two examiners were clear and unified.
