In Luoyang City, a soldier ran quickly, looking a little hurried, and big drops of sweat fell from his forehead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the last candidate walked into the examination room, an official nodded and ordered the soldiers: "The auspicious time has come, close the ......."

"If the student is late, please be accommodating and close the examination ......room slowly." Panting and sweating profusely, the soldier came running quickly from the front.

The words were interrupted, and the official was a little unhappy in his heart, frowning slightly. looked up and down, and the scholar in front of him: "The official saw that you were dressed simply, and it is estimated that you are also a child of a poor family." After ten years of suffering, I am looking forward to today's imperial examination. I don't know how many people are lifting, in order to enter the examination room, waiting early, you are good, not only do you not cherish but come late, why is this".

"Adults actually ......." The scholar checked his sweat slightly, and was just about to continue to explain, when he heard a noisy sound, and his heart was happy, it seemed that they had also arrived. Fortunately, it was a little closer, but it delayed the imperial examination here.

The sound of footsteps in front of them came, and dozens of soldiers, one by one, ran panting, interrupting their conversation.

"My lord, please be accommodating, let me wait for the scientific expedition."

"It's not that we are deliberately late, it's just that this matter is too big for us and we have to verify it."

"It's not easy for me to be a poor scholar, so please open up the net."

"This imperial examination has a special meaning for us, and if we miss it, we will regret it for life."

"Although we were late, we calculated carefully, and it was not a mistake, and the adults let me wait to enter the examination room, and I also said that it was over."

“……“。

The official frowned slightly as he listened to all these scholars. There are dozens of scholars from poor families in front of him, why are they collectively mistimed, if it is one or two, it is not worth making a fuss, but this group is not a little abnormal: "Since you are scholars, you should understand what the scientific expedition means to your life." Kerr's collective mistake, why is this? Could it be that you look down on this scientific expedition? “。

"This time, Your Majesty ascended the throne, and we are grateful, how dare we complain." The soldier who came first hurriedly saluted the official and replied respectfully.

The surrounding scholars nodded their heads in agreement, but this time the wrong time was not the case.

The official's brows furrowed a little tighter, and he glanced at the dozens of soldiers in front of him with a majestic face: "Since you didn't complain, then why are you collectively late?" If it's one or two, it's excusable, but if you look at it, there are dozens of ......."

"To tell you the truth, we are late today because of a piece of news and want to verify it." The leader of the scholar, the tone is as respectful as possible, after all, it is not good to be late.

The official was a little surprised, and looked at them with puzzlement: "You can tell the official what is going on." It is worth it, dozens of you, who are willing to risk being rejected from the imperial examination, but also go to verify."

"It's all because we are good children, if we don't verify this news, I'm afraid that I will be blamed by my classmates and friends for the rest of my life." The scholar who was the leader sighed slightly, and was also a little excited, Shantang was finally able to send out his own voice in the court.

Shan Tang? When the official heard these two words, his heart suddenly moved, and when he thought of the situation in the DPRK and China during this time, he felt a trace of jealousy and joy out of thin air: "You are the children of Shantang? The good hall with Qinglian as the name, out of the mud and not stained, sheltering orphans, lonely and elderly people all over the world, and relieving the poor? “。

"Exactly...... I waited for this morning to receive a letter from a friend that Mr. Yan was about to return to Luoyang and become an official in the court."

"We were so excited that we went to verify."

"I deliberately went to Shantang to find Mr. Jia He and inquire about it."

"Mr. Jia He has a word, this matter is true."

"As early as ten days ago, he wrote to him to explain the matter. But considering that the imperial examination is approaching, in order to divide our hearts, this is hidden."

"Calculate the time, at most three days later, Mr. can go to Luoyang."

"I am overjoyed, but now I am a good disciple of the hall, and I am all over the world. I had no choice but to run around in Luoyang City and inform my friends about it. so much so that it almost delayed the auspicious time of the imperial examination."

"Please also take pity on me, and open the net."

“……“。

The official was stroking his beard and listening, but suddenly he tightened, and with a strong hand, a beard fell off. has been in the official sea for a long time, and the affairs of the DPRK and China have long been clear. Liu Sheng is coming? What about the wealthy family? The Admiral's Mansion, the Yang family of Xiazhou, and the merchants of the world, have they all moved, it seems that the death of the first emperor has dealt a great blow to this person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. This Luoyang and this court are only afraid, and the sky will change again.

"My lord? ……“。 Dozens of scholars, looking at the sky, their eyes were slightly anxious, how could this good adult fall into deep thought.

The official woke up like a dream, smiled, and coughed dryly: "Actually, this matter is ......."

"Your subordinates think it's reasonable to let them in. One is that at this time, the adults did not order the closure of the examination room, and the two of them will repay their kindness, and they are grateful, which is the style of our generation of literati, and it is not appropriate to block them out for this reason. The three subordinates did not take the imperial examination, and before entering the court, they had received the favor of the good hall. If the adults can let them in, they can also let their subordinates repay the kindness of the good hall a little." An adjutant behind the officer, bowed, and began to intercede with them.

The official was stunned for a moment, trying to say something. Another adjutant behind him also bowed: "Shantang also has a favor to his subordinates. I am a person in Guanzhong, a year ago, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, thousands of miles of red land, and there was no harvest. The subordinate family was almost starved to death, but fortunately, Shantang came to the rescue, and then went to Chang'an to resettle, so he was saved from death. At the beginning of the year, his subordinates went to Chang'an to find a small family. The old father told him that the ancients reciprocated the grace of clouds and dripping water, and did not want to be that ungrateful person."

"I see, what about you? What kind of kindness does Shantang have for you?" The official was shocked, then reassured, and turned to look at the first subordinate who pleaded.

The subordinate fell into deep thought, his thoughts seemed to have returned to the past, and his eyes gradually blurred: "I can't hide it, five years ago, there was a great drought in Zhulu, Hebei, and I was a child, studying hard at home, and I had no income. Coupled with natural disasters, the family can only starve. Seeing that he was about to starve to death, he lost a group of monks to build a good hall and send food to avoid the fate of starvation."

"Lift people? The local government probably won't sit back and watch your family starve to death......." The officials were puzzled, this dynasty treated literati very well, how could the local government sit back and watch people starve to death.

The subordinate shook his head with a wry smile and explained to the official: "When I was frustrated in my expedition to the west, where did the local government still have money, as for the relief, it was naturally ......."

"I understand...... In this case, you will go to the imperial examination, and the official hopes that you will take the exam well, and you will not fall into the name of the prime minister of cloth." The official sighed in his heart, and the prime minister of cloth was indeed worthy of his name. The people are the foundation of the world, and the good hall benefits the people, and the world looks up. With this foundation, not to mention the edict of the first emperor, the Admiral's Mansion, the Yang family of Xiazhou, and the wealthy families and merchants in the world. Even without their support, they can only rely on Shantang, and they can take the position of prime minister and put everything in their pockets.

The scholars were overjoyed, thanked one after another, and then poured into the examination room.
