Nanzhili, Nanjing, because of an upcoming grand meeting belonging to the civil officials and students of the Ming Dynasty, Governor Yingtian, Governor Su Song and Jiangsu Xuezheng and many other Nanzhili officials gathered together to participate in the grand event. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Over the years, there will be a grand celebration after the end of the township test, that is, the deer feast, and because of the prosperity of the Nanzhili culture, a considerable part of the new science and technology since the founding of the Ming Dynasty has come from the south of the country, so the people of the south zhili have a considerable possibility of being admitted to the jinshi, into the dynasty as an official, these potential new officials are also the objects that the old bureaucrats are willing to woo, who knows if there will be a three-dingjia among these people, or Shu Jishi, the future will soar into the sky, at this moment, it is also a good fate.

From the beginning, the Luming Banquet was only a reward meeting for the new imperial examination and internal and external officials, and it became one of the best vanity fair events in the country.

Therefore, these Nanzhili officials will gather together to celebrate the new imperial examination, and then wish them good results in the examination, become a member of the future civil official doctor system, and enjoy this flower and country together, at that time, many officials, Confucianism, previous lifters, retired officials will attend the grand event at this time, if you want to lay a solid foundation for the future career, the accumulation of contacts will start at this time, before it was a small fight, and now is the real Vanity Fair.

The Confucians came to make an appearance, brushed their sense of existence, and at the same time saw if there were any good seedlings who could be admitted to the Jinshi, pretending to dial a sentence or two, striving for a familiar face and a good fate; Officials with sufficient status also come here to point out the country, promote the text, and by the way see if there are any good seedlings, so that they can fight for it and pull them into their own camp, at least don't let him forget himself, and wait for him to become an official in the future, in case there is a future, he can be used as a help; Old and new people get together, discuss academics, show their knowledge, and then start huddles.

As for some big officials with different thoughts, children of big families, rich people and the like, they came here to choose their own sons-in-law, their energy can't reach the capital, so they can't win the new science and technology scholars, but who knows if there will be some potential stocks worth investing in among these new imperial examination people? As soon as you marry your daughter, the marriage is certain, which is equivalent to falling into the official family, and the most enthusiastic about this move among these people are rich people who have no official connections.

This deer feast, especially the deer feast of Nanzhili, has become a hot topic in the whole Nanzhili, for this reason, there are more and more people in Nanjing, the inn is gradually full, so that there is no room to live, and the hotel and wine shop also make a lot of money for this, these businessmen are smiling - we don't have the life to participate in such a feast of fame and fortune, but you eat meat, we drink soup is also good.

However, just three days before the township test list, basically many rankings have been decided, only the top three debates are still ongoing, even when Xuezheng is involved in the debate, the news of the raid on Suzhou by the Japanese army Pegasus came, and suddenly, all the officials were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, Governor Su Song fell to the ground unconscious on the spot, and the Governor of Ying Tian held his forehead with his hand and wiped away the cold sweat from his head.

Large and small Nanzhili officials, you look at me, I look at you, they are all confused, these gangs do not play cards according to the rules, and when we are trying our best to ********, they come out to make trouble! Over the years, the deer banquet has been the best choice for ********, but you poked out this big basket for me before the deer banquet! It's still in Suzhou City! This central city of the entire Southeast Inland Economic Circle!

Even if the city of Suzhou is damaged a little bit, it is a fatal blow to the southeast economy that is now struggling to maintain itself, just like a dike full of holes, just like an anthill is about to collapse, as a result, this gang of widows will come out, I don't know the inside story of the anxious, worried about their future and head, know the inside story of the widows have gritted their teeth, resentful of which widows are so ignorant of good and bad, actually dare to make trouble at this time! Breach of the agreement between the two parties!

Of course, the top priority is to wake up the person directly responsible, Lu Yang, the governor of Su Song who came to travel at public expense on a business trip at public expense, and let him take the blame and let him die, anyway, he also knows the fate of his predecessor, and he also took this opportunity to come out and wave, if he doesn't die, who will die?

However, this did not wake up until the second night, when a shocking news was transmitted to Nanjing, after learning the news, Lu Yang recovered without medicine, and a carp stood up, stroked his beard and laughed, and said to himself: "Fan Qing has done a good job in this prefect, and that Xiaoxiucai is also a good child, hahahahahaha!" ”

Of course, no one cared about his words, just because this battle happened too suddenly, and it ended very abruptly, and it had nothing to do with this old man, when he wanted to share a share of this credit, the credit book was in duplicate, one was sent to Jingshi through normal channels, and one was taken away by the local Jinyiwei as a backup verification, it should be emphasized that this battle merit has been recognized by Jinyiwei.

Lu Yang suddenly trembled, as if he had thought of something, and never mentioned anything again, allowing the first achievement of the southeast anti-Japanese war since Jiajing to be taken away by Fan Qing and Zheng Guang.

But compared to Fan Qing, the upstart of tomorrow in the officialdom, the general public is obviously more interested in Zheng Guang, a showman who is not an official but has done what an official should do, especially after learning the news that his father Zheng Wei died for Suzhou seven years ago, they are more interested in gossiping, and when they learn that Zheng Guang is still a reference student for the Jinke Township Examination, especially when the ranking is about to be announced, they are even more fanatical.

For Wang Yangming's kind of characters who have reached the peak of both civil governance and martial arts, in addition to admiration and worship, that is, admiration and worship, they look down on martial artists, but they dare not look down on famous generals and famous marshals, and even they themselves yearn for being as civil and military as Wang Yangming.

Most literati can't do both civil and military, but as believers and followers of Yang Ming Gong, they naturally worship such people, and since such characters have appeared, they have no reason not to pay attention.

Xiao Sanyuan, the first step to achieve the full achievement of Wenzhi and martial arts, this little Xiucai seems to have the demeanor of Yang Minggong back then!

So, everyone began to excitedly pursue this popular fried chicken, and the streets and alleys are talking about the moving deeds of this little minister, the heroic actions of the father, the heroism of the son, the enthusiasm for serving the country, the deep understanding of the righteousness of the grandmother at home, the tragedy of sending the grandson to the battlefield, etc., a series of things that have not happened, no matter what, have been pulled out, so that the examiners have great differences about the final results of this township examination.

"Zheng Guang's article is very well written, at least I think, when taking Xie Yuan, on the other hand, this one, it is written with flowers, but I can't see anything, I only see Huanghuang's words, I can't see a little sense of simplicity and peace, but it gives people a sense of frivolity, I don't agree with this exam paper being taken as Xie Yuan, not to mention, now, Zheng Guang is in the limelight for a while, and some people even call it Yang Minggong reincarnated, don't you think you should do something?" One examiner was on the point.

"Zheng Guang is from Suzhou, you are also from Suzhou, he has meritorious service in defending the city, your family has been preserved, of course you speak for him, you say that you can't see anything in this article, I can't see anything in Zheng Guang's article, Zhongzheng is peaceful, what about the others? What do we want to see? The more limelight you have, the more you have to find a way to press it! The other examiner was also well-founded.

What do you mean by that? Zheng Guang's actual talent has been revealed, Suzhou soldiers are less than 2,000, but they have defeated more than 2,000 Japanese robbers, beheaded 1,500 levels, and really hit 1,500 levels! This merit comes from a small showman, don't you think that such a fame is also deserved by him? Daming has been suffering from the Japanese for a long time, and this victory is not easy to come by! The third examiner gave his opinion.

"What you said makes sense, but he has won a big victory on his side and has made great contributions to the country, so let's take him as Xie Yuan here, will it make people think that we are doing it on purpose, fueling it and making it go further? The impact of this battle is too great, and the involvement is too deep, and before the final conclusion comes out, we can't wait to come out rashly! Otherwise, once Your Majesty blames us, we won't be able to please us! The fourth examiner had a worried look on his face.

In the end, everyone shifted their eyes to the examiner, waiting for the examiner to make the final decision, the examiner kept his eyes closed, as if he was thinking, and when his eyes opened, his eyes were shining, obviously there was a decision, and now the two to two ties, the examiner's opinion is enough to determine the final ranking.

"What you said makes sense, but the official thinks more and deeper, you listen to it, is it reasonable...... the examiner spoke softly, his words were earnest, and he whispered for a long time, and the four marking officers sometimes frowned, sometimes worried, and then darkened, obviously unifying their thoughts.

"So, let's do it!" The examiner spoke.

The four markers then nodded: "That's it!" ”

When Zheng Guang arrived in Nanjing City, it was the setting sun, and he rushed into Nanjing City together between the last group of people who entered the city, and then, in the beautiful scenery of the sunset, the ancient and heavy city gate was closed, Zheng Guang rushed back to Nanjing City the day before the release of the list, followed by Xiang Qing, who was still immersed in the pain of losing his father and mother.

The village where Xiang Qing lived was burned down, when the official army arrived, the whole village was basically killed, and the bodies of Xiang Qing's parents were found, about only Xiang Qing and his sister Xiang Hao survived, in view of his Xiucai's identity, and Zheng Guang's intercession, in the post-war compensation measures, the 321 acres of land owned by the residents of the village were all assigned to Xiang Qing's name, and a small house was given in Suzhou City for Xiang Qing and his sister to live in.

"Let's look away, the Si people are gone, no matter how sad you are, it's useless." Zheng Guang looked at Xiang Qing with a sad face, helplessly consoling, he knew that this was useless, but at least, it could make him feel better; Xiang Qing smiled slightly bitterly and shook his head: "I can't save my parents, at least, I have to do something for them, the mourning of my parents, I decided to keep filial piety for three years, and I will take the exam today, no matter whether I take the exam or not, I will not participate." ”

Zheng Guang nodded, looked into the distance, and said, "That's right, at least, in three years, you won't be like this now." ”

Xiang Qing smiled: "Three years later, you must have soared, after all, you are now a famous Suzhou writer." ”
