"How much?" Pang Tong had no intention of buying the exam questions, but if the exam questions were true, the matter would be serious, so he changed his mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Taoist priest saw the business coming to the door, he smiled and said, "One hundred times." ”

100 runs, enough for a family of five to settle down and buy land. The Taoist priest looked at Pang Tong's appearance and hurriedly said: "This lifter, don't be too expensive, wait for the title of the gold list, what is a hundred times?" ”

Pang Tong said to Wei Yan: "Brother? ”

Although Wei Yan has been a horse thief for a long time, his heroic spirit has not diminished, and he immediately took out a bag of gold and silver from his arms.

After the Taoist priest took it, he waved the dust and said loudly: "It's noisy here, cut off to a secluded place ......." ”

So, in the private room, Pang Tong got a red envelope. The Taoist priest bowed slightly and turned away.

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, and the virtuous brother should also be prepared." ”

Who knew that Pang Tong didn't open it to see, handed it to Wei Yan, and said: "Brother cut and put it away for the younger brother, this seal is tight, and it has not been opened, so I will be a witness for the younger brother." That hundred ....... ”

Wei Yan signaled not to mention anything, and he understood Pang Tong's intentions, put away the exam questions, and said solemnly: "The virtuous brother is iron-clad and upright, and he has long seen that the virtuous brother is extraordinary." This time it will be wrong, forgive sins. ”

In the blink of an eye, it is the day of Dabi on August 1.

Early in the morning, the capital city of Ye was lively.

Thousands of civil and military officers came to wait outside the Gongyuan early.

In the Gongyuan, Kong Rong presided over the ceremony of worshiping Confucius.

"Everyone, prepare to make a big salute."

Kong Rong was in front, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Xun You, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and a number of invigilators were behind, facing the portrait of Confucius in the temple, three bows and nine bows.

Kong Rong Lao was excited, the imperial examination was about to usher in a new era, the era of Confucianism, and the grand event of Confucianism.

After kneeling, Kong Rong personally offered incense to his ancestor Confucius, turned around and saluted his colleagues, and said: "This time, we will open a science and choose real talents for the country." We swear impartially, we should not show favoritism, do not be asked, and will not be bribed. ”

"If you have this intention, people and gods will punish you!" Everyone swore together, Xun Yu and they knew in their hearts that the previous dynasty was recommended, among which there were many favoritism and bribery, and the recommended officials were mixed. And Qin Feng set up a branch to take scholars, to test them by questions, and to take talents, which is the basic place for the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the nation.

When Qin Feng proposed this system, he was shocked. It is the most important measure after Confucius taught the world.

This opening of the department is a great matter, but it is actually for Qin Naxian, which can be said to be related to the process of the Qin family's unification of the world. Even if there is no such a grand ceremony, Xun Yu and they will be conscientious.

"Open ~ Dragon ~ Door ~."

With the loud voice, a new era has come to the forefront.

Those who go to Beijing to take the exam from all over the country enter the house in turn according to the numbers of heaven and earth Xuanwu and cosmic macrolight, and enter the number house in an orderly manner.

The house is specially designed for the food and lodging of the examination, and the two brick walls on the left and right walls of the house are between one or two feet above the ground, and two brick supports are built up to place the upper and lower wooden planks on it.

The house fully reflects the fairness of the imperial examination, because candidates can participate in the imperial examination regardless of their high or low, regardless of their family economic status, and the scientific examination is not only an assessment of the results, but also an assessment of the candidate's character. Candidates are not allowed to bring anything into the venue except for their lifelong clothing.

There is an examination basket in the room, which is brought in by the candidates when they enter the examination room, which contains some dry food and examination utensils such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., but the dry food brought by the candidates must be cut to prevent the candidates from cheating.

When all the lifters entered the house, there was a dense sound of locking the door, and then everything was quiet, only the sound of writing and writing was left. The breath of Confucianism gathers in heaven and earth, and even Xun Yu and Jia Xu, who have become famous, have also been washed in it.

This is a grand gathering of martial sages in the world, and the rotten and fettered scholar election system that binds the progress of China has been extinguished in the long river of history, and the wheel of Chinese power, which has not been moved for a long time, has begun to roll and turn again.

"It's the people who are pushing, it's the sages among the people who are pushing, I'm nothing at all." Qin Feng always said this.

However, no one knows that it is a person who, with his firm faith, enthusiasm for China, and respect for the people, has broken the barriers of thousands of years and created a new era.

A day later, the exam ended, and the candidates were slightly tired and left the venue one after another.

Pang Tong also returned to the inn, and he saw Wei Yan.

Wei Yan came out much earlier, and asked with concern: "Brother Xian, how was the exam?" ”

Pang Tong was confident, "Even if it's not the first class, the second class is definitely no problem." ”

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. The general meaning of this sentence is: the article, there is no real sense of the first place, the article is made, the appreciation angle is different, the personal concept is different, it is difficult to distinguish who is high and who is low. But the competition of force is simple, whoever is beaten down will definitely lose, and there is no personal concept and appreciation angle that can be mixed in it.

Wei Yan admired: "There are only three people in the first class, the champion, the list eye, and the tanhua, and they are given the rank of jinshi and first." I believe that the ability of a brother is not to mention the background of a second-class Jinshi. ”

Pang Tong asked, "How is my brother's martial arts?" ”

Wei Yan laughed and said, "It's quite smooth, I'm not talented for my brother, but I also read military books, and it's not a problem to pass the literary exam." Three days later, it will be the actual combat assessment, see that the brother is dismounted, the knife in the palm, and take a first armor to show you. ”

Three days later, the list was released.

Early in the morning, the lifters gathered outside the Gongyuan, and a huge list had been posted on the long list wall opposite the gate of the Gongyuan. The lifters crowded by, looking for their names.

There are those who are in the middle of the lift, elated, and there are those who shake their heads and sigh when they can't find their names.

"I'm in, I'm in! I've won the top prize! There was a scream that shocked everyone.

I saw a fat-headed and big-eared lifter, screaming and jumping excitedly, followed by kneeling, tears of excitement flowed together, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "The sky has eyes, the ancestors are virtuous, the saint blesses, the disciple is here to thank you." ”

"Someone, someone!" He grabbed the servants who came over and said again and again: "Hurry, hurry up and return to my hometown to report the good news to my father and mother." Let them worship the heavens and worship their ancestors, wear red and hang colors, splash the streets with clean water, and cushion the yellow sand to welcome me, the new champion! ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Ahh~." He was just about to cry, but he grabbed the servant who was leaving, and said, "Also, take my aunt from Dongjun, Chen Liu's uncle, aunt from Qian County, and cousin from Xuzhou to the house to greet me." ”

The surrounding lifters were stunned when they saw this situation, and the people around them snickered when they saw the champion talking incoherently with such excitement.

"Yes, yes......."

The servant was just about to leave, but he was pulled again.

"And there's still ......." The champion shouted again, and everyone shook their heads, saying that this new champion was too unfocused.

The champion grabbed the servant and instructed: "You must remember, don't forget, there are also my beautiful cousins, none of them are missing, all of them are called to welcome me as the new champion." ”

"Whew~, Childe, don't worry." The minions finally galloped out of the crowd.

"God has eyes!" The champion kowtowed for a while, suddenly took out a roast duck from his arms, gnawed violently, and cried again.

When everyone around saw it, there was an uproar. This is the new champion, the first champion in Chinese history after the imperial examination! Many people who didn't find their names on the emperor list were angry, because the champion turned out to be like this, and after winning the champion, he didn't say thank the prime minister for his great kindness, and he wanted to find his cousin for the first time, and he was still crying here and gnawing on roast duck to vent!

I couldn't stand it at that time when I didn't make the list.

But there are also many people who are smiling.

"How? There are no white flowers in a hundred times! ”

"Ha~, although I am not as lucky as this champion, I also won the first place in the second class."

"It's still brother's luck, I'm a top three."

"It's good if you win, let's go, let's drink."

So, the people who won the list smiled happily, and they called friends to make friends in the same year and play together. By the way, a group of people pulled away the champion, "Lord Champion, don't gnaw on roast duck here, go, I invite you to drink in Yechenglou!" ”

Pang Tong and Wei Yan saw the whole process, and they knew this champion, who was Zhang Kui and Zhang Dagongzi, who lived in the same inn, and the name Zhuang Yuan.

"Shi Yuan, have you been hit?" Wei Yan searched for a long time, but didn't see Pang Tong's name. But I saw his name shortlisted on the martial arts list, and he still needs to fight after being shortlisted, so there is nothing to be happy about at the moment.

"Congratulations to the elder brother on being shortlisted, the younger brother is not on the list, which is also expected." Pang Tong said lightly.

Wei Yan remembered the exam question in his arms and nodded, "Sure enough, it was expected." ”

Pang Tong gradually became angry and said: "I thought I had met a liar, but I didn't expect it to be an exam question." ”

The two were silent for a while.

At this time, a voice came from the side, "The three of us came from thousands of miles, but I never thought that this imperial examination was just a joke." Brother Ji Chang, Brother Gongyan, and younger brother Fei Yi took the first step and returned to Jingnan. ”

Pang Tong's ears moved, and he hurriedly went over to stop Fei Yi, who was leaving. He looked Fei Yi and his companions up and down, and found that all of them had extraordinary bearings, at the very least, they would definitely not be able to do the thing of gnawing roast duck. Pang Tong hurriedly said: "Aren't you Lingling Jiang Wan, Jiangxia Fei Yi, Xiangyang Yicheng Ma Liang?" ”

The three of them looked over, and the white-eyed Ma Liang bowed, "I don't know this brother?" ”

"In the Lower Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan."

"Oh!" The three of them were taken aback, and the thin Jiang Wan said, "Isn't it Pang De's mansion, Feng Xiao Pang Shiyuan?" ”

"Feng Xiao doesn't dare to be, it's down."

Although the four of them are meeting for the first time, they have been friends for a long time.

At this time, two more people came over, one of them had clear eyebrows, and said, "In Xia Lusu, I have seen all gentlemen." ”

Another said: "Shiyuan, remember me." ”

Pang Tong took a closer look and said, "It turned out to be Brother Ziyu." "This person is Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin.

At this moment, the great sages of Jiangnan can be said to have gathered together, they felt that Qin Feng was benevolent and virtuous for the people, and opened a new policy for the imperial examination, which really created a prosperous era of civil and military affairs. They had come from far and wide, and they were all disheartened at the moment.

The young Fei Yi said again: "Brothers, the younger brother will take a step forward to leave this sad place, and when he returns to Jiangnan, he is looking for your brothers." ”

"Brother Xian, walk slowly, for my brother to be with you." Maleonn Road.

So, everyone agreed to return together and leave here together. (To be continued.) )
