Chapter 329: The Exam Begins

In the letter, it is a brief introduction to the situation on his side, and at the same time, Han Han instructed the county magistrate Li Qing to behave well during this time, and mentioned the county magistrate Li Qing to the queen mother today, maybe the queen mother wants to promote him on a whim one day, so let the county magistrate Li Qing be ready to be audited.

He simply said something in the court, and this letter flowed out of the National Teacher's Mansion and drifted to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province through the post station.

The homework of the national teacher is quite simple, unlike the general who has to train the soldiers every day, nor like other Wenchen who have to write all day long, sitting next to the emperor, occasionally saying a few words to correct the mistakes of Emperor Wen of Tang, and the rest of the time, the emperor is reading and writing alone, and Han Han can be free all day.

After getting along for a few days, Han Han felt more and more that Emperor Tang Wen was a little child, with the innocence and naivety that a child should have, which was also what Han Han was pleased with.

It's just that the Queen Mother has been lukewarm to Han Han these days, and the concubine occasionally comes to the imperial study to visit Han Han and accompany the emperor to read, but no matter how Han Han looks at it, he feels that Emperor Tang Wen seems to be a little afraid of Yang Guifei, is it because the little boy can't see the beauty?

Han Han didn't know it, it is worth mentioning that Emperor Wen of Tang's knowledge has made great progress under Han Han's supervision, and half of the Analects has been able to be written down silently, and the Queen Mother also praised Han Han for her face, and at the same time corrected the emperor to use honorific titles in the future.

Being honored by the emperor as 'Master', that is really a flying feeling!

"GOGOGO......" In the early morning, before dawn, the characteristic crow of the big rooster resounded throughout the streets and alleys, Han Han slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was Liu Yun's delicate and lovely round face.

The long eyelashes covered the eyelids, the rosy lips under the small nose pursed slightly, opened and closed and breathed softly, smiled and pinched the girl's smooth and elastic face, Liu Yun frowned slightly, muttered a few words in a daze, and then still fell asleep.

Letting go of Liu Yun, who was lying naked in his arms, Han Han got up cautiously, today is the big day of the annual imperial examination, Han Han, there are still big things to do.

Han Han's court clothes did not have the same pattern as those of other ministers, it was a simple satin white coat, but its smooth and soft fabric was much better than the fabric of those ministers' court clothes.

Leaving the room lightly, Han Han didn't eat, walked, passed through the streets and alleys that were still a little cool, shuttled into the heavily guarded Suzaku Street, and entered the Xuanzheng Palace.

"It's rare for the master to come to the Xuanzheng Palace to go to court, why are you here today? Give me a seat! Emperor Tang Wen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Han Han with a smile, and ordered the eunuch next to him, Han Han hurriedly waved his hand, and stood in the middle of the two columns of civil and military ministers on the left and right, in the main hall, and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't need to, just say one thing next, and then leave." ”

"Oh? Master, speak straight! Emperor Wen of Tang was sitting on the dragon chair with his small body, Cao Yunde next to him knew what Han Han was going to say, and his face was indifferent, while the eldest grandson Prime Minister on the other side, the eldest grandson Wuji, and the other ministers were confused and didn't know what Han Han was going to say.

"Today is a big day for the imperial examination, and I feel that as a national teacher, I should go to the scene to encourage the majority of talents, so I want to be the chief invigilator of the imperial examination for these three days."

Although today is the palace exam, the emperor personally issued the exam questions, but this exam question was written by the eldest grandson Prime Minister, as for why, even Cao Yunde just smiled and said nothing.

The ministers in the court immediately discussed a lot, some agreed, and some thought Han Han was troublesome, while Cao Yunde squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty, what the national teacher said is extremely true, letting the first talent of the national teacher who is a superhuman in talent go to the imperial examination site, it will definitely bring encouragement to the candidates in the examination room, so that they can feel the majesty of our dynasty!" ”

Since Cao Yunde agreed, how could Emperor Tang Wen not nod, oh, Emperor Tang Wendi had a pretended serious look on his face, "Okay, then let the national teacher serve as the chief invigilator of the imperial examination, and now go to the examination room to encourage and supervise." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Han Han bent down and saluted, ignoring the different looks of the civil and military officials around him, and when the morning court dispersed, Han Han calmly walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, among those people, there must be a member of the group who was suspected of accepting bribes for the imperial examination, well, slowly play with them.

Walking out of the Xuanzheng Palace, the thin figure of Gonggong Wei appeared in front of Han Han, wearing a eunuch costume embroidered with a green python pattern, pinching his orchid fingers, standing in front of Han Han with a smile and saying, "National teacher, the carriage is ready, this is the emperor's message, please take it." ”

Looking at a note in his hand, just a few lines on it introduced the mission and purpose of his trip, looking at the big red jade seal, Han Han smiled, "Father-in-law Wei, please." "National teacher, please."

Father-in-law Wei still personally led the way for Han Han this time, and the two of them walked out of the north gate outside Suzaku Street, got into the carriage, and then rushed towards the examination room, "It is really a blessing for their scholars that the national teachers can care so much about the candidates in the world!" ”

Listening to Father-in-law Wei's praise, Han Han pursed his lips and smiled and nodded lightly, "Father-in-law has won the award, the emperor is from the world, and I am the emperor's teacher, so naturally I am also the teacher of the world." ”

Han Han's words were originally suspected of boasting, but Gonggong Wei nodded thoughtfully, with a smile on his fair-skinned sissy face, "That's right, the national teacher is really the teacher of the world." ”

Han Han smiled and didn't reply again. The carriage staggered and finally arrived at the examination room.

followed behind Gonggong Wei and stood outside the door of the examination room. The two of them just wanted to go in, but they were stopped by a few people guarding the door, and they looked at Father-in-law Wei in front of Han Han, and then asked, "I don't know what is going on with this father-in-law, the exam is heavy, and the idle people can't enter!" ”

"Even you dare to stop our family, our family is the emperor's attendant Wei Zhongxian!" Gonggong Wei in front of him looked angry, while Han Han behind him knocked his teeth in surprise, Wei Zhongxian? I didn't expect that the shouting of 'Grandpa Wei' every day turned out to be the most shady eunuch in history after a long time!

Frowning in surprise, Han Han began to think about it, this Wei Zhongxian, who was sent by the Queen Mother to make friends with him, is this Wei Gonggong a good person? Or do you have a personal affair with the Queen Mother?

After a lewd YY, Han Han found that Father-in-law Wei looked back at him at this time, and quickly recovered his serious look.

"This is the emperor's teacher! Han Han National Teacher! In recent days, I have been instructed by the emperor to come to the examination room to show my face and encourage and supervise the candidates! If you dare to get in the way, watch your head! Gonggong Wei took the note from Han Han's hand with soft fingers, and shook it in front of the guards.

Shocked, these people retreated one after another, and then knelt down and kowtowed, "Meet the national teacher." "Excuse me, Grandpa Wei, let's go in." smiled gently, casually pulled up a doorman next to him, and followed Gonggong Wei into the examination room, but he didn't know that behind him, the man who was helped up by Han Han said with a throbbing face, "The national teacher actually touched my sleeve!" Oh my God, I don't even want to wash this dress in the future! ”

Inside the examination room, there is a wide avenue, as wide as a vegetable market, on the left and right sides are one after another thatched houses, in the thatched huts, each sits a scholar, at the moment some of them are sitting upright, some close their eyes to recuperate, and some are laughing and chatting with the people opposite.

There are two kinds of people who can be calm and relaxed in the tense atmosphere of the imperial examination, one is those who are sure to achieve fame, and these people have a real literary foundation; There is also a kind of person who also thinks that the position of champion is within reach, but this kind of person is the son who buys the examiner to spend money.

The former, Han Han didn't believe that there were such proud capable people in this dynasty, so it could only be the latter. Keep in mind a few guys who are playing and playing, and the posture of the rich boy is undoubtedly exposed, and a house with a tiled roof next to it is the resting place of several examiners.

Han Han followed Gonggong Wei in, and a group of people who were gathering together to drink tea lively, seeing Han Han and Gonggong Wei, hurriedly got up one after another, "I've seen the national teacher." ”

"No courtesy." No matter how rampant Han was, when he saw that the older generation wanted to kneel for him, he still felt unbearable, and helped up the two old men who were quite old, and at this time, an examiner wearing a cyan court uniform next to him smiled first and spoke, "How can the national teacher come to this examination room." ”

Han Han smiled, at this time, Gonggong Wei had already taken the lead in speaking, handed over the paper in his hand, and said in a shrill voice, "Isn't it wonderful that the national teacher was ordered by the emperor to come to the examination room to serve as the main invigilator, not only to supervise the responsibility, but also to encourage the scholars in this examination room!" ”

"Yes, yes, it seems that the emperor really takes good care of my talented son!" Looking at these old-timers who bowed their heads and waists, Han Han secretly sighed that it was not easy to mix a mouthful of royal rice, "I don't know which one is the original chief invigilator?" ”

"Old minister...... It was the old minister. An old gentleman with a big grade and gray hair and beard stepped forward, and there was a trace of worry in his deep eyes, I don't know what Han Han, the first genius of the Cao Dynasty, who has been in the limelight in the capital recently, shouted what he was doing? The old man didn't offend him, did he?

Seeing this old-timer come out, Han Han smiled and nodded, "I have entered the imperial examination room for the first time to serve as an invigilator, I don't understand too much, and I hope that the old gentleman can give me more advice." ”

"The national teacher is polite, the old minister will definitely do his best to help the national teacher." The imperial examination began, and Han Han wore a white robe and coat, walking leisurely between the examination rooms outside.

The scholars who came to take the exam knew that the tall young man in front of him with a chic appearance and a strange hairstyle was a national teacher, and they were all very excited at the same time, but they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Noting down the faces of a few candidates who were nervous, sweating, and wary of him, Han Han looked at the names posted on the walls of their thatched huts and remembered them.

These people, Han Han is sure that nine times out of ten, they will be Jinshi, but they suddenly appeared here and gave them a pressure.

It is impossible for Han Han to rush in at this moment to arrest these people and then charge them with 'favoritism', everything will have to wait until the list is revealed. He casually wrote down a few names on the white paper on the side.

For the past few days, Liu Yun has forced herself to read and write at home every day, and if she doesn't write, she won't let herself sleep with her in her arms. This punishment is too cruel, and in desperation, Han Han reads at night, and goes home after giving lessons to the emperor during the day, and he has to work hard in class.

However, Han Han tasted the sweetness of hard sweat at the moment, if it weren't for reading and writing, I'm afraid Han Han wouldn't have remembered the names of those candidates who behaved strangely. The world is inferior, only reading is high!

After a few turns back and forth, all the people who didn't like it were recorded in black and white, and there were more than a dozen of the more than 50 candidates.

All those who were thieves with eyebrows, sweaty foreheads, constricted pupils, and hunched over were recorded, and looking at the names on the paper, Han Han nodded with satisfaction, and went back to the house to drink tea and chat leisurely.

At noon, Han Han still had to stay in the examination room, and it was another afternoon, and when the exam was about to end, Wei Zhongxian's shrill voice came from outside the room where Han Han was staying, "National Teacher!" Is the national teacher there? ”

Han Han raised his eyebrows strangely, looked sideways at the door, Wei Zhongxian, who was thin but straight, pinched his orchid finger and stepped into the threshold with a smile, "The Queen Mother has come to see you!" ”

Han Han was stunned, and then at this time, he saw a white embroidered shoe stepping into the threshold, and then, the queen mother's dignified and beautiful melon seed face appeared in front of Han Han.

This time, it can be seen that the Queen Mother is traveling in a low-key manner, but the hosta with her hair and the silky satin coat still set off her delicate body and momentum.

Before Han Han could react, several examiners sitting in the same room had already quickly gotten up and kowtowed, "See the Queen Mother!" ”

"Excuse me!" The graceful and elegant Queen Mother slowly waved Bai Su's jade hand, "The mourning family did not alarm the candidates outside when they came this time, so as not to distract them, so there is no need to salute with great fanfare." ”

"Yes!" A group of examiners got up, Han Han came back to his senses, looked at the Queen Mother's quiet and fair face, got up and bent down to salute, "I don't know what the Queen Mother is doing?" ”

"The mourning family just came to see my hard-working side of the talented people." After such a perfunctory moment, the Queen Mother's slender eyes stared at Han Han, and then said to the examiners beside him, "The mourning family happens to have something to say with the national teacher. ”

knew that the Queen Mother would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. The group of examiners looked at each other, then bent down and exited the room. Father-in-law Wei also glanced at Han Han with a smile on his face, then walked out and closed the door.

Han Han looked at the Queen Mother strangely, not knowing what else she had to explain, so she had to come here in person.

The Queen Mother elegantly turned around and sat on a chair behind a bookcase, her hands were folded on her thighs, her slender eyes looked at Han Han, and she said lightly, "Is the cheerful little guy I met in Quanjude also in this examination room?" ”

Han Han was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It's strange, I made money for a long time, and I didn't see him." The Queen Mother frowned lightly and nodded disapprovingly, "Maybe he is looking for someone to impersonate him." ”

Han Han snorted, looked at the Queen Mother's speechless appearance, and asked, "The Queen Mother came here from the palace, is there anything important to explain?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "There are two things I want to tell you." "The Queen Mother will say it directly." It's strange that the Queen Mother is sullen, wasn't she still good before? What happened?

"The first thing, today is the seventieth birthday of the eldest grandson." The Queen Mother's deep gaze stared at Han Han, Han Han was stunned for a moment, and while playing with the brush in his hand, he nodded slowly, "I'll give gifts and show up, forget it." ”

When there were few people, the Queen Mother rarely used the 'national teacher' to call Han Han, and Han Han didn't bother to use the humble title of 'under the bottom', neither of them cared about this, but continued to discuss the second thing.

"Prime Minister Changsun should invite you, and Cao Yunde will definitely go." The Queen Mother's delicate and dignified face was a trace of worry that could not be erased, "Because you have important matters to discuss tonight." ”

"What's the matter?" Han Han was confused, but he saw the Queen Mother's ruddy and small lips open slightly, and spit out a few words, "The Xiliang rebels are about to move." ”

Xiliang? Datang? Han Han was shocked, this is too fast, right? I haven't gotten the first monthly salary of the national teacher yet, in case the Cao Dynasty is destroyed, then who will ask for my silver!

If the Queen Mother knew Han Han's thoughts at this moment, I don't know if she would slap him. "The border army came to report that the Xiliang rebels suddenly sent troops to attack Qinghai, and several camps and cities have been taken."

Han Han squinted his eyes, and the sharp light flickered, this Tang rebel army is very efficient, I didn't expect that while it was unprepared, it would have already achieved such a clear record. "What a coincidence, today is the eldest grandson's birthday, and it is the beginning of the chaotic war between the Cao Dynasty, so tonight we are going to discuss countermeasures against the enemy in the mansion of the eldest grandson?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, sighed and said, "In the last war, the ferocity of the Xiliang army made the mourning family remember it vividly, this time, I am afraid that the Xiliang rebels have the intention of going straight to the capital, and I don't know if I can resist this gang of fierce people." ”

Han Han lowered her head and was silent, but the Queen Mother didn't want to see Han Han's low mood, she rushed over to hear what Han Han thought, "Do you have any help?" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Han Han raised his head and shook his head speechlessly, "I am a scholar, if I want to make a pair of poems, I can still say that it is effortless, but for this kind of marching and fighting, I not only don't know anything, but I am also very afraid." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very disappointed, she didn't know why, she felt that Han Han, a scholar with a weak appearance, was an all-round talent, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't do. But now it seems that he is only overestimating.

"But maybe it's an opportunity." Han Han frowned, laboriously thinking about the solution to this matter, turned his head to look at the closed door, Han Han turned sideways, pulled a chair and sat opposite the Queen Mother.

Across a chair, Han Han looked at the Queen Mother's smooth and fair face, and said in a low voice, "Are the Queen Mother sure that in this court, the black sheep is only Cao Yunde, and there is no one else?" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes wandered, looking at Han Han and not speaking, and Han Han could only open his mouth and continue, "Except for Cao Yunde, I am not very familiar with other ministers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, can the Queen Mother rest assured of him?" ”

"Prime Minister Changsun was a highly respected minister when he was the emperor, so the mourning family was very relieved of him." Hearing the Queen Mother's affirmation, Han Han nodded, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the imperial court?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Han Han's calm appearance, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "The imperial court has a total of 800,000 troops that can be mobilized, and there are 200,000 forbidden troops responsible for protecting the capital, so they can't go far to meet the battle." ”

Han Han squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully, then raised the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Does the Queen Mother want Cao Yunde to annihilate the enemy?" ”

"The mourning family also wants to, but I'm afraid that after Cao Yunde masters the military power, it will be unfavorable to the Cao Dynasty." The Queen Mother said worriedly, but Han Han shook her head disapprerovingly, "I don't think so, at the moment of the great enemy, the first thing Cao Yunde has to do is to erase the thorn in his heart and get rid of the Xiliang rebels, so that he can be completely at ease, so at this moment, the Queen Mother only needs a choice, in the face of the Xiliang rebels, do you want Cao Yunde to leave the capital and go to Xiliang!" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were as deep and quiet as a pool of water, and she sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly and nodded, "Okay, let him stay away from the capital!" ”

Han Han smiled, "The Queen Mother is very sensible, but ...... be brave in the bottom" As soon as she heard Han Han say words such as 'under the bottom' and 'fighting courage' in front of her, the Queen Mother's eyelids couldn't help but jump, it must be no good!

Glaring at Han Han dissatisfied, the Queen Mother said in a soft voice, "What do you want to do!" "If Cao Yunde succeeds in leading his troops out of the capital, then the Queen Mother agrees to save a condition."

Thinking of the condition that she lost to the poem last time, the Queen Mother's little face became red, she glared at Han Han, and the Queen Mother slapped the table dissatisfiedly, "Bastard boy!" Dare...... Dare to take advantage of the fire to rob! ”

Han Han smiled and pursed the corners of his mouth without speaking, facing the mature and elegant Queen Mother, Han Han always couldn't help but tease her, it would be a fool not to take advantage of it!

Looking at Han Han's smiling appearance, the Queen Mother was angry, and vaguely felt that Han Han was thinking about those thieves on herself, the Queen Mother was angry and annoyed, if the emperor was still there, Han Han, a person who had bad intentions about himself, even if he was a national teacher, would be cut off by the emperor!

"Han Han, don't you think you're too presumptuous! As a courtier of the Cao Dynasty, it is not natural to make some contributions to the Cao Dynasty! The Queen Mother glared at Han Han because she was dissatisfied, and Han Han smiled slightly and responded calmly, "I have done good things for the emperor and the queen mother and others, and the court should give rewards, which is also reasonable, right?" ”

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded, looking at Han Han's hippie smiling face, the Queen Mother bit her lip, and then said, "Even if the mourning family responds, but if you dare to make rude demands at that time, or if you don't force Cao Yunde out of the capital, be careful that the mourning family will punish you heavily!" ”

Han Han smiled and nodded, lose? No way! Especially when the bet is still a big beauty, who wants to lose! "May I ask the Queen Mother, how many people are there in the Xiliang rebels now?"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and then shook her head, "When the border army came to report, it said that the number of enemy troops had not been thoroughly investigated, but it should be around fifty or sixty thousand, right?" ”
