Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It was almost midsummer in Zhuojun.

The rumbling drum woke the people of Zhuo County from their slumber, and they opened their eyes dimly, and at this time the eastern sky was already showing the white of the fish's belly.

The scholars who lived in the Zhaoxian Pavilion were earlier than the people, and for the scholars in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, today was a big day.

Three months ago, Zhou Xu, the county school sacrificial wine, pleaded with Li Chongjiu, the assassin of the history, to recruit talents from all over the world, change the system of conquest in the past, and adopt the method of imperial examination to recruit virtuous people.

Li Chongjiu personally approved and agreed to Zhou Xu's request, and now after three years of county education, he can pass the guò examination, which is called the county examination, and those who pass can enter the county school, or directly become an official in the county.

As for those who have completed two years of county school, they can pass the guò examination, which is called the county examination, and those who pass can enter the county guard office and go directly to the office.

In addition to the scholars of the county school, the virtuous people in the opposition in various places can also be assessed and admitted according to the quota.

The Zhaoxian Hall is already brightly lit, and the scholars all get up early in the morning, except for a few people who participated in the imperial examination with the former Sui, for most of them this is the first time to participate in the imperial examination. The scholars sorted out the examination boxes and confirmed the examination citations. The shops in the hall even pasted cakes, steamed rice, and cooked soup for the scholars in the middle of the night, and the scholars could put them in the examination basket and bring them into the examination room.

The big exam is imminent, and the scholars are worried one by one, many people haven't slept all night, with two panda eyes, and some people are hurrying to warm the book again.

A young scholar in a washed white robe held a pancake with rice soup, a mouthful of cake and a mouthful of soup, and an acquaintance who was reading hard with a book on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, and said: "Brother Zhou still really has the style of a general, and he is not nervous at all." ”

The other party raised his head and smiled, drank a bowl of rice soup with clear soup and little water, and said: "Brother He, the big exam is coming, how can you do it if you don't treat your own five internal organs temple." ”

This scholar is a student of the county school, and he said in Zhaoxian Lou that day that when the world is in turmoil, the scholar clan will definitely seize Zhou Zhou in the world.

After his argument in Zhaoxian Building that day, he reprimanded Zhou Xu afterwards and warned him to keep this matter in his heart in the future, and not to speak for outsiders, otherwise there will be a big disaster. Zhou Zhou is very grateful to Zhou Xu for his love, but he still goes his own way and talks freely.

Zhou Xu can only love and hate this family.

The scholar surnamed He on the side smiled, took out five eggs from his examination basket at the moment, divided two to Zhou Zhou, and said, "My father has prepared too much for me, I will share a little with you." ”

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, and when he saw a gentle smile on the other party's face, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

Zhou Zhou's family is poor, his father saw his back when he was young, and his mother was the only one in the family.

Zhou Zhou is heroic by nature and doesn't care about this. But Zhou Zhou did not refuse the kindness of his classmates, still took two eggs from the other party's hands, and said, "Clean up early, I'm about to enter the examination room." ”

While speaking, a scholar in a brocade robe passed in front of the two, and there was a scholar behind him carrying the examination basket and examination box for him.

This person has a dashing demeanor, and there is a distinctive demeanor between his demeanor. Zhou Zhou knew that this person was his classmate of the county school, Zhao Xin, who was born in the Zhao family of Zhuo County, and debated with him in Zhaoxian Building that day.

His family background is very good, and his talent is also outstanding, and he has won the appreciation of Zhou Xu, the wine of the county school, and many doctors, and Zhou Zhou can be said to be on a par with the county school, and they are all popular candidates for the first or second place in the imperial examination. But the two have always looked at each other in the wrong way.

Zhao Xin glanced at Zhou Zhou, and turned to him beside him, which was 100~10,000 \ small! The person who said it said: "Brother He, it's only a temporary moment now, don't you think it's too late?" ”

Saying this before the big exam is clearly to undermine the confidence of others, and its intention is not easy to be vicious. The name of the scholar surnamed He is He Xin, and Zhao Xin saw that his face was pale after he finished speaking, but he didn't dare to provoke a classmate with a deep background like Zhao Xin, and he didn't dare to be angry at the moment.

Zhou Zhou said in the foreword: "When I heard the Tao, I can die at night, don't you know the truth that no matter when you read the book, it's not too late?" ”

Zhao Xin laughed, and was about to open his mouth to refute, when several scholars who were also from the Shi clan on the side walked up to Zhao Xin and said, "Zhao Gongzi, what are you chatting with such a poor sour, let's go to the door, the carriage of the yamen may have arrived." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, turned around and smiled at the two and said, "I hope you two have good luck!" ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, and when he saw the other party going away, He Xin said indignantly: "Brother Zhou, this time you must fight for our poor disciples, and let these children of the scholar clan who were born with eyes above the top know that there are also talents among our poor families." ”

Zhou Zhou nodded, and at this time, the sound of the sparkling carriage and horses outside the door remembered, and the shopkeeper on the side came in and said, "Several, hurry up, the carriages of the county school yamen have arrived outside the door." ”

When Zhou Zhou, the congratulatory letter was solemn, lifted the test basket, carried the test box on his back, and strode out of the door with the shopkeeper.

At this moment, outside the door of the store, the sky is still dark, and the door is not open.

There was silence in the room.

A group of scholars, as well as folk virtuous people, and the children of the gate valve all gathered outside the Zhaoxian Building, and one carriage after another slowly drove away.

"Get in the car! Get on the bus! Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss the hour. "The officials of the county government of Jixian County, the arrest is also dispatched at the same time, and there are even ironclad soldiers around the carriage.

Zhou Zhou and the congratulatory letter also got into the carriage together and crowded together with the six scholars.

"Sit tight." As soon as the coachman shook his whip, the car staggered along.

Outside the car, the shopkeeper, buddy, and helper of Zhaoxian Building stood in front of the door together and said: "Look at a few high-level talents, who can leap into the dragon gate and once go to high school!" ”

Zhou Zhou and Congratulatory Letter both had smiles on their faces, and the soldiers in the car were cheering each other on, saying that they would definitely go to high school.

The carriage went all the way, and the people on the side of the street suddenly stopped pointing and talking.

Before arriving at the fangmen, the fangding also opened the door and did not dare to stop it, and stopped the people who were about to go out behind the car.

On the empty street of Youzhou City, hundreds of government soldiers escorted more than a dozen carriages on the street.

When the city parade on the street saw this, not only did they not come forward to stop it, but they also removed the wooden fence that blocked the street and let it pass, allowing the convoy of scholars to pass through Guò quickly.

Soon after, more than a dozen carriages stopped in front of the county guard's house, which is said to be the future county trial tribute courtyard is still under construction, so Zhuo County's first county test, selected in the county guard's house.

Looking at the mighty stone lion in front of the county guard's mansion, most of the candidates held their breath.

There were also people muttering quietly, speculating about who the examiner was this time?

"It stands to reason that the most qualified person to take the exam should be the Zhou Festival Bar, but in order to avoid suspicion, it is most unlikely that he will also be him."

"I don't know yet, since I came to the county guard's mansion, among the county guards' mansions, who is the most respectful, of course, is Wei Junshou. This imperial examination is the first of its kind in Youzhou, and it is a great ceremony for a county, and Wei County should come to the abbot one or two even if he has a lot of opportunities. ”

"If Wei Jun guards the invigilator, then wouldn't we be careful, this person is ruthless in law enforcement, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that there will be no hope for the future."

Speaking of which, several candidates turned pale.

"You are all wrong, as far as I know, we are all local candidates in Zhuo County, and of course Wei Junshou must also avoid suspicion, so it is most likely Wen Changshi of the Assassin Mansion, or Chen Sima and the others."

Others said: "Auxiliary brothers, what you say is reasonable, Wen Changshi is famous for his talent and learning, the first emperor recruited four people in the country that year, but more than a dozen people were raised, Wen Changshi was one of them, so he was awarded the post of Wen Linlang." With his talents, it is more than enough to serve as the chief examiner. ”

"In this way, I am at my father's place, and I saw several official documents of Wen Changshi, whose words are simple, neat and neat, and the descriptions are laid out, extremely delicate, quite the literary style of the Northern Qi Wenlin Museum, we imitate this style and make it, and we will greatly increase the hope in the examination."

"It's really a golden and jade good word, I'll write it down, the articles of the Wenlin Pavilion back then, Xixi made me memorize a lot of them back then, let me think about how many I remember."

While he was talking, the left, middle and right doors of the county guard mansion slowly opened, and everyone stopped at the moment.

Officials and soldiers walked out of the gate, let the candidates line up to enter the venue, check the candidates' examination quotations, household registration documents, check their appearance, and then search the examination basket and test box before letting the candidates in.

The search was very careful and took a long time, and by the time the sun was shining, it was already a little hot.

After this search, all the candidates entered the gate.

After that, stop in front of the gate and wait to enter the examination room.

"Yes, Wei Junshou!"

"Look, there's also Wen Changshi!"

Youzhou City said that it was not big, and it was not small, but among the candidates, many of them were the children of scholars and officials, and they had seen the two of them at the village ceremony drinking with their parents, so they recognized them at a glance.

These two came together, so who is the examiner?

Everyone speculated.

"Silence!"

"Silence!"

The officials of the county guard on the side shouted.

At this time, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo retreated to the side, raised their hands, and another person came from the gate, seeing this person, many candidates were excited.

They secretly said in their hearts, but they didn't expect the examiner to be Li Tingshi.

I saw Li Chongjiu come to the scene and said to everyone: "Some of you recognize it, and some of you don't recognize it, and a certain one is Li Chongjiu, the assassin of Youzhou." ”

As soon as these words were outstanding, the candidates all shouted, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, and the officials on the side hurriedly shouted: "Silence, those who talk nonsense again will be disqualified from the county examination." ”

Only then did the candidates shut up, Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, and said: "The county examination is a county canon, and the Youzhou County Guard Mansion is from the countryside and the county school, each of which takes five scholars, and a total of ten people enter the county guard mansion as officials. The best one, the post of the seven grades, there are gaps to fill the vacancies, the second two, awarded from the seven grades, there are gaps to fill the vacancies, and the remaining seven people are awarded the eight grades, and they are six Cao subordinate officials in the county guard mansion for three years, and then go out to the place. ”

Although everyone already knew about it, they couldn't help but be excited when they heard Li Chongjiu say it lightly.

In the past, the children of the scholar clan, who were dressed in cloth and called Shi Brown, could come up as a seven-grade official, and those who were officials from the seven-grade were only the children of the first-class gate valve, and now it is a rare thing to learn from talent.

Hope was in everyone's eyes. (To be continued.) )
