In the mouth of this Xiangshi, being an official has simply become a profitable business, Gao Gong was angry in his heart, and asked the Xiangshi with fire: "What's the topic, this ...... Master Ben will buy your question. ”

"The lord is really a decisive and courageous person, and he will be rich and glorious in the future, and the prince will be for generations." Seeing that Gao Gong was willing to buy the question, the Xiangshi was overjoyed and was busy looking for Xiao Er to come to pen and ink.

Gao Gong pretended to be a person who went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he wrote an IOU, he naturally had to write his name and the hostel where he stayed. And to show the message handled in the Ministry of Rites, so that the seller can feel at ease.

The so-called Counseling is the admission ticket.

After passing the examination, the list will be sent to the Ministry of Rites by the Shuncheon Prefecture and the provincial government secretaries, and the Ministry of Rites will send a message to the applicants and report within a time limit. Participants in the examination can collect the toll from the provincial political secretary, depending on the distance, the minimum is one tael of silver, and the maximum is thirty taels of silver. Candidates can get a license card from the political secretary, and with the license card, they can take a stagecoach and horse boat to the journey, marked by the yellow flag with the words "Ministry of Rites and Examinations", and they can go all the way unimpeded.

This message is written on the candidate's place of origin, appearance, and stamped with the big seal of the Ministry of Rites and the local political secretary, and there is no way to falsify it.

Gao Gong originally planned to fabricate a fake name at random, but when he thought about it, he couldn't hide it. He said: "What kind of IOU to write, so troublesome, coming and going will increase the risk, I will pay the full amount in cash." ”

threw over a ten-tael money ticket again, and asked Xiangshi how many copies he had sold, and how much commission he had to take.

When the minister got the money ticket, he rejoiced in his heart, and no longer concealed it, and replied that he had bought about thirty copies. I'm an errand runner, and it's not much good. For every copy sold, only 10% will be taken. The rest is to be given to the king's house.

"One percent is not bad, thousands of taels." Gao Gong was taken aback. If that's what this scholar says. King Jing has more than 100,000 taels in his account.

This guy is really bold!

The dignified prince, regardless of decency, has gone through the eyes of money.

But. With a slight groan, Gao Gong figured out the reason.

Although the prince of the Ming Dynasty was rich. But to feed a large number of retinues of the palace, the cost is not small. In the past, King Jing's expenses were also large. There is also land production that can be subsidized. But after the last time he embezzled the people's land. lost a lot, and the money was tight.

King Jing's plan to enter Beijing this time is quite large, whether it is to buy joints, bribe officials, or cultivate power, he needs money. It is estimated that he is also in a hurry. Don't take that risk.

Xiangshi said with a smile: "The trading of the nine clans is so profitable. Sir, are you paying now? ”

Gao Gong has not yet spoken. The staff next to him said coldly: "Who will bring so much silver on their bodies, make an appointment." ”

Xiangshi smiled: "I'm going to enter by name tonight, if you miss this village, you won't have this store?" Besides, the master bought the topic, and he still has to find a model text, and he has to memorize it, and the time is pressing! ”

Gao Gong nodded: "Then I'll send someone back to get the money ticket immediately, wait." ”

So, the staff ran back to the house, took 5,000 taels of tickets, and got the question from the minister.

However, when paying the money, the staff still kept an eye on it, saying that if the question is not true, you take the money and run away, where will we look for you?

Xiangshi was also dazzled when he saw the big stack of money tickets, and he no longer cared, saying that he was the cousin of the owner of this restaurant. This restaurant is the property of King Jing, if the master doesn't believe it, you can ask him to write a letter of guarantee. The letter of guarantee says,

And so it did.

……

After getting the question, it was already night, Gao Gong returned to the sedan chair, put on his official uniform and hurried home to decorate.

happened to meet Wu Jie on the road, he had something in his heart and was depressed, so he scolded Wu Jie. …,

After returning home, Gao Gong also thought about it for a long time before deciding to take advantage of this reason to do a good job.

On the second day, he sent someone to keep an eye on the restaurant early.

After a while, a spy came to report that the scholar was still back in the restaurant, but he was dressed as an ordinary person and was drinking and having fun with people inside.

If this person was a liar, he would have run away a long time ago if he got the money, but now he is swaggering and not avoiding people, obviously his heart is broken.

Gao Gong already believed that the exam question was real, and came here early in the morning to arrange it. He also asked people to bring his own film and handwritten letter to Jinyi Wei Shi Wan Wenming in advance, and asked him to meet with him here.

The reason why Wan Wenming was chosen was mainly because this person was not born and had nothing to do with the factions in the DPRK and China. In addition, he is about to be dismissed from office again, and now that he has such an opportunity, anyone will take advantage of it.

The fact that he could lead troops to storm the examination room was really earth-shattering, and Gao Gong was also apprehensive in his heart.

Hearing the staff ask, Gao Gong gritted his teeth: "Even if this matter is not true, it's a big deal that Gao Gong was impeached and sent to prison." But if it is true, it can take down King Jing in one fell swoop to repay King Yu's kindness. Compared with the Jiangshan Sheji of my Ming Dynasty, the personal safety of the high arch is nothing. If it doesn't work out, it's a big deal! ”

The staff's body trembled, but the circles under his eyes were red. After a long stroke, he went to the ground: "Gao Xianggong is loyal to the country, and his subordinates dare not to die!" ”

Gao Gong helped him up, sighed for a long time, and returned to his seat, never to speak again.

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually turned westward, and the sunlight that was still bright before had gradually turned red, and finally enveloped the entire capital like blood.

And Gao Gong sat at the window, and the whole person was bathed in this red sunset, like a god.

A thousand feelings suddenly surged in the hearts of the staff: such an adult is worth following. The great husband stands between heaven and earth, and he should be fearless, but only by his own heart.

Soon, candidates from Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi have entered the examination room by name. Then there is Fujian and Anhui.

The square, which was still full of people in the morning, suddenly became empty.

The staff suddenly remembered Wu Jie who met on the street last night, he was a candidate from Shuntianfu, and if he wanted to enter the examination room, he was afraid that he would have to wait until it was dark.

Wan Wenming still didn't come, and the letter was sent out in the morning, and it was evening.

Is he afraid?

The staff looked at the high arch sitting in front of the window like a sculpture, this Xiangye, who maintained such a posture all afternoon, this kind of qi cultivation kung fu is really admirable: "Gao Xiang......"

Gao Gong: "All civilizations will come, I'm sure of that." ”

At this time, there was a small commotion in the courtyard behind, as if there were many people.

Then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The staff stood up suddenly: "It's here." ”

Sure enough, it was really ten thousand civilizations who came.

Wan Wenming probably didn't sleep all night, his eyes were full of red silk, and his face looked extremely haggard. He was dressed in a flying fish suit with brocade clothes, an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and an iron-tired bow on his back, but he was armed to the teeth.
