Ximenqing was hypnotized by drunkenness and slept comfortably. The next morning, he was still asleep, but someone came to disturb his dream.

After the sleepy-eyed Ximenqing was woken up by Yueniang, he asked in a daze, "Who is it?" I finally got a good night's sleep, and I came to chase my life......"

While serving him to clean his face and dress, Yueniang replied, "It's the Holy Hand Scholar, Mr. Xiao Gongrang." ”

"Huh? How is he? Ximenqing groaned when he heard this, "Although I don't have much to do with him, this person has the spirit of a scholar, arrogant and ignorant of people, except for Jin Dajian, everyone else looks at me indifferently - how did he think of visiting me today?" ”

Yueniang said: "Ten have a good time, and I came here for his sister-in-law's business." ”

Ximen Qingyi's eyes widened when he heard this: "Won't it?" Does he want to marry his sister to me as a concubine? The surname Xiao is not this kind of person who tends to be inflammatory! ”

Yueniang couldn't laugh when she heard this, and said softly: "Hugh said such frivolous words!" Sister-in-law Jin Lian said, it's like this and this! ”

After Ximenqing listened, he sneered: "It turns out that Wang Xiaohu took advantage of Song Jiang's power to harm the people's daughters." However, this guy has grown up and knows that if you wear a Songjiang brand condom before you start, it is not called forcibness, but pampering! ”

Yueniang's face was worried, and she said, "Sister-in-law Jin Lian has taken care of this, but you can't stand idly by. Na Shulan of the Xiao family is a good woman, even if you take him as a wife, you can't let her fall into the fire pit of such a rude man. ”

Ximenqing hurriedly cleared himself: "Stop, stop!" I don't have time to take care of a wife, you can't stand the grievances, if you marry another one, wouldn't it hurt people? I have my own plans for this, Yueniang, you better put your heart right, don't see a girl with a flat head and a straight face, just hang it on me, I really can't afford it. ”

Yueniang's face flushed, remembering the misunderstanding on Ling Han's side yesterday, she was ashamed for a while, and at this time she had already cleaned up Ximenqing, so she stretched out her hand and pushed him out, and said coquettishly: "Go and meet guests!" Don't be fooling around here. Keeping guests waiting, but it's not the host's sin? ”

Ximenqing waved at her and went out with a smile. Yueniang looked at her husband's upright back, as if the sky could stand it when it fell, her heart was sweet and proud, and unconsciously, Xiao Shulan's matter was no longer a problem in Yueniang's heart.

Walking towards the living room unhurriedly, Ximen Qing was thinking in his heart: "No wonder at yesterday's round table, the Holy Hand scholar Xiao Rang really helped me a lot in his words, and it turned out that he was showing sincerity to me." Speaking of which, I really have to thank Song Jiang for being a black guy, isn't it that as soon as he became the second leader of Liangshanbo, he became fluttering, and he was powerful and blessed in all directions, and wanted these free factions to help me, where was it so easy? ”

Thinking in his heart, he had already entered the living room, Ximen Qing folded his feelings, and said with a smile: "Who will realize the big dream first?" I know it all my life. The grass hall sleeps enough in spring, and the day outside the window is late. The public asked my brother to wait for a long time, please forgive my little brother for being rude! ”

Although Xiao Rang came early, Yueniang ordered Ju'an to serve tea and fruit in the living room, and the ceremony was very thoughtful. Xiao Rang saw that Ximen's family treated him very kindly, and he was already secretly grateful in his heart, and when he heard Ximenqing's humble words, how could he dare to accept it? At that moment, he got up and saluted Ximenqing deeply, and he didn't even dare to say it.

Ximen Qing and Xiao Rang gave each other a courtesy, and then sat down separately. Ximen Qing asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xiao is doing today?" ”

Xiao Rang Zhengse said: "Xiaosheng has heard that the three strange sons are romantic, and a mourning union back then shocked the eight mansions of Shandong, so how many scholars have been cited as good stories, and if you want to be a deep talker of mountains and rivers, how can Xiao Rang be alone?" It's just that Guanshan Road is far away, and you can't get close to Zhilan, which is a pity! Who knew that today's willows and flowers are bright, and he has to be stationed in Liangshan with Brother Siquan, Xiao Rang thought about it early, and endured it until today, it was too late! ”

Ximenqing hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little skill carving insects, the end of the road." The bonfire fluorescent, laughing at the Fang family. How dare the little brother take it big in front of the holy hand scholars? I'm afraid that if Mr. gets out of this door today, he will have to meet in a big way, and it is better to be famous! ”

The two of them replied with a few words, and Ximen Qing saw that Xiao Rang's words were elegant and elegant, and his attitude was implicit, and he was indeed a well-educated person with a splendid belly, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Gongrang really has the talent of Longzhang and Fengzao, and today he has been on Liangshan, so he can no longer be listed in Mingtang, it is really a pity to think about it." ”

Xiao Rang listened, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, "Brother Siquan, have you ever been to the imperial examination?" ”

Ximenqing shook his head and said, "This has never been." I, Ximenqing, am just a little clever, where did I become a pedantic doctor? A stupid person like me, who knows neither the scriptures nor can make a strategy, also learns from others to take the Jinshi examination, doesn't he laugh at the belly of people of insight in the world? ”

Xiao Rang sighed when he heard this: "Brother Siquan really hasn't passed the imperial examination, that's why he said the road to Mingtang so easily!" ”

Ximen Qing heard Xiao Rang's tone with a sense of sadness, and he was not surprised in his heart, so he said: "Brother Gongrang, this imperial examination was still difficult in the previous generation, but it is easy in this dynasty. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system was still in its infancy, and there were many drawbacks, and the ministers had the right to recommend people. Once the power of taking scholars is vested in the Division, the old and new scholars can still rely on their political and economic advantages and traditional social status to continue to control the power of taking scholars. The quality of the academic field does not become the main criterion for admission, if no one recommends, the average Hanshi, even if he has a great reputation, is in vain. ”

Xiao Rang nodded again and again when he heard this, and sighed: "What Brother Siquan said is good. I think that although Bai Xiangshan's poems were famous far and wide, he had to 'cast' to the chief examiner when he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and presented his masterpieces to win the favor of the chief examiner. No name on the lifetime list; Meng Jiao, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, was brilliant and famous, but he sank into the field house for more than 20 years, until he was 50 years old. Therefore, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, some people publicly lamented that there was no one in the court, so it was better to go home as soon as possible. ”

Ximen Qing clapped his hands and said, "That's right! In the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to take the Jinshi exam, there were only a dozen places at a time, and there were thousands of scholars in the world. When Taizong of this dynasty arrived, he vigorously innovated the imperial examination, and once the restrictions on the family were abolished, no matter scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, they could take the examination, and the scope of scholars was expanded; 2. Abolish all recommendation systems and put an end to favoritism and malpractice to the greatest extent. In addition to the normal scientific examination every three years, it also uses various names to open Enke, and more than 1,000 people are selected in one subject. It is even stipulated that those who repeatedly participate in scientific examinations can be rewarded with petty officials even if they do not rank. ”

Xiao Rang sighed again, but his voice was full of envy: "Just as Brother Siquan said! A petty officer. At that time, there was a candidate in his seventies who wrote something like this on Bai Ji's test paper - the old man can't be a writer. Long live bixia, long live, long live. After I saw the exam papers for Chao Taizong, I immediately rewarded him with a petty official. ”

Ximen Qing said: "Shine! Since it is so easy to become an official in the imperial examination, how can the public brother sigh that the road is difficult? ”

Xiao Rang glanced at Ximenqing like a monster, and then explained: "Brother Siquan only knows one and doesn't know the other. Although the Taizong Dynasty stipulated that those who repeatedly failed to participate in the scientific examination could also become officials, but today, those places have gradually been held in the hands of the powerful. ”

Ximenqing nodded: "Indeed, if you have the right, you can get a diploma title." This is especially true when the bastards are in power. ”

Xiao Rang couldn't help but resonate when he heard it: "Alas! Officialdom is corrupt! Although the three words of bastard are vulgar, they are not vulgar, and they must not vent the grievances in the chests of the world's poor people! But then again, those official positions that are not rewarded are really like chickens and worms, and those who have aspirations do not take them! ”

Ximenqing was secretly funny in his heart, and said that this Xiao Rang was still full of envy when he talked about Taizong, but now that he has no hope, he will be reduced to the food of chickens and insects, and the face of the reader changes so fast, it is simply the ancestor of the art of Sichuan opera face changing.

But he heard Xiao Rang say again: "The imperial examination system of this dynasty stipulates that the child must first participate in the local township examination, and those who pass the township examination will have the opportunity to participate in examinations such as the palace examination and have the opportunity to become an official." However, the admission quota for the township examination is not uniform from place to place due to different places. Like Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, where the amount of relief is the largest; And like us in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 8,000 people participated in the township test, but there were only 17 quotas! ”

Ximenqing's eyes widened when he heard this: "There is such a thing?" ”

Xiao Rang had a tearless expression on his face, and sighed: "In this case, some scholars will try their best to go to a relatively easy place to take the exam, which leads to the dispute over household registration in the imperial examination. For example, many people pretend to be Kaifeng people to participate in the township test, like the system of Renzong Tiansheng stipulates that scholars are not locals, but those who have land in the local area can also take the test. Some scholars from wealthy families made full use of this opportunity and often temporarily purchased land and property in other places for the imperial examination, so as to obtain the qualification to apply for the examination in other places. The most ridiculous thing is that the elder brother of Wang Ji, a scholar from Luzhou, is named Wang Xiuji, who purchased eighteen acres of land in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, but the brotherly relationship does not make Wang Ji respond in Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Ji had a plan, and when he signed up for the petition, he thought that Xiu had become his father, and changed the relationship between brothers to father and son. What's more, Wang Yu, another foreigner, also ventured into a household with Wang Ji, taking Wang Ji's three generations as his ancestors. ”

Ximenqing's eyes widened more and more when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "The bastard's mother pulls a bastard and fucks that mother** his ancestor is a banban** mother throws his mother to fuck the suckling king and donkey under his mother's horse!" No wonder the shamelessness of being an official, for the sake of his own two chins or two mouths, he can focus on exploiting the people, harming the country, spoiling the sky and haze, the land deteriorating, and the water pollution, it turns out that it is not a good thing at the root! "This is exactly what it is:

Zhuanzhi has many wonderful theories since ancient times, and evil corruption has always been surprising. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
