Chapter 42: What a miserable two men (ask for a recommendation!) )
"Kaifeng Mansion! I'm back again! ”
Huang Shang stood on the hillside, looking out at the majestic silhouette in the distance.
As it turns out, the truth is not as expected.
Wujian did not use the eyeliner of the beggar gang to determine the location and chase after him.
Because the beggar gang is not omnipotent, in the vast sea of people, how difficult it is to find a person, it depends purely on luck.
Obviously, the luck of the perfect is not so good.
In this way, Huang Shang made a lot of preparations and did useless work, and fought with the air with wits and courage.
Fortunately, the journey is still the same.
It's December.
Huang Shang finished the exam in August, left Yongzhou in September, went from Hunan, Guangxi, and then transferred to Liangzhejiang, and then went all the way north, and finally returned to Kaifeng.
Originally, he also wanted to go to Weizhou, Qinfeng Road, that is, Gansu in the future, to visit Zhang Zai, but the provincial test was approaching, and there was an accident, so he chose to come to Beijing early.
In fact, Huang Shang was already late.
After the examination in August, people from all over the country gathered in Tokyo.
This is much more exaggerated than the annual Spring Festival in later generations.
Juzi did not enter Beijing alone, and most of them were accompanied by scholars, servants, or simply family members.
Although Tokyo is a metropolis like no other in the world, with a population of more than one million, it is enough to choke on so many people at once.
No, there is still a long distance from the outer city gate, which is bustling, and the lively street market is open, and there is no end in sight.
Such a scene makes people wonder if they have passed through the city wall and come to the capital.
The scholar Murong Fu and the four families carried you on the shoulder, and I led the horse, looking at this prosperous scene, they all showed a shocked look.
In the martial arts, they prefer to avoid the power of the government and dominate one side.
It was not until this moment that they clearly felt that no matter how big the rivers and lakes were, they still couldn't compare with the dynasty after all.
"Here, I will take the first step towards the restoration of the country!"
Murong Fu pursed his lips, and there was a look of determination in his eyes.
Murong Bo has already said goodbye to Huang Shang, but in fact, he is still secretly escorting, and with the strength of his father and son, he will definitely do something.
Huang Shang didn't bother to care about the mental activities of his subordinates, and looked at a group of scholars not far away.
The group was surrounding a high wall, and they peeked in, but all they could see were branches sticking out of the wall.
Even so, they have a desire in their eyes to do such things that look silly to outsiders.
Huang Shang thought about it and knew what kind of place it was.
Joan Lam Court.
One of the holy places of the world's scholars.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Qujiang banquet, which was specially designed to entertain the scholars of high school, and now there is a Qionglin banquet, which is located in Qionglin Garden.
By March next year, the Jinshi list will be released, and the new Jinshi will cross the street and walk all the way from Xuande Gate to Qionglin Yuan.
On that day, hundreds of thousands of people would gather on the roadside to watch and admire.
Imagine that kind of situation, for the scholars who have become famous in one fell swoop in the ten years of cold window, it is indeed the highest honor.
"But if you watch it a hundred times now, it's useless!"
Huang Shang immediately withdrew his gaze and rode forward.
In fact, he can also understand the psychology of scholars, just like when traveling to Beijing on the earth, many students will go to Peking University and Tsinghua University to have a look.
Even if you can't pass the test, you still don't allow me to think about it~
After Qionglin Garden, not far away is Jinming Pond.
This royal garden, also known as the West Lake, is not only for ornamentation, but also for naval drills.
In Huang Shang's memory, a few years ago, the Son of Heaven came, the armies competed for the bid, the boat swirled, and the Gejia shone.
A shed was erected in the east of the pond, and several people watched in it, giving out earth-shattering applause.
That kind of atmosphere is similar to the sporting events of later generations.
However, in recent years, the Son of Heaven's health has deteriorated, but he is unable to come in person.
Although the tradition of competition between the armies is preserved, it will obviously not be so fierce and beautiful without the Son of Heaven to watch.
"Historically, Song Renzong died in April next year, and there is less than half a year to go, he has been ill for a long time, will the palace test be handed over to Song Yingzong?"
Seeing Jin Mingchi, Huang Shang's mind was thinking about the palace test, which Great Song Tianzi would be.
For example, Renzong Yingzong is a 谥 (shì) number, which only existed after death, but in order to facilitate memory, Huang Shang directly replaced it.
Not to mention, Renzong has reigned for forty-one years, making him the longest-reigning emperor of the Song Dynasty.
And his successor, Yingzong, is more pitiful, only reigning for four years, he died of illness, which looks very tricky.
In fact, the process of inheriting the throne was full of difficulties.
He is not the son of Renzong, because Renzong has no queen, all his sons died young, and he was selected as the emperor's heir under the repeated advice of Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and other officials.
However, he was not chosen all at once, as early as 1035, he was succeeded to Renzong.
And when Renzong's harem gave birth to a new prince, he was immediately sent back to his biological father, and after the prince died, he was taken back to the palace, and the identity of the tool man was revealed.
It wasn't until August this year, that is, before Huang Shang participated in the exam, that all his sons died young, and Renzong, who was too old and powerless, was completely dead and made this the prince.
From 1035 to 1062, it took 27 years.
Throughout history, the biological prince is uncomfortable, often walking on thin ice, for fear of being deposed, let alone this one.
Of course, it really compares to time, more than 20 years is nothing, and there are still more than 60 years on the earth......
Huang Shang considered this, not to be idle and bored, but to prepare for the palace examination.
The attitude of the Son of Heaven is related to the position of the champion, I have to think about it.
To get back to the point, Qionglin Yuan and Jin Mingchi are both in the west of the city, and after these two landmark buildings, they walked a little longer before they arrived under the real city gate.
From a distance, the five-zhang blue-black wall occupies the field of vision, and this fifty-mile-long city wall protects the world's number one giant city.
Compared with the scale, Kaifeng is actually above Chang'an Luoyang.
Because there is no danger to defend, it means that there are no mountains and rivers to obstruct it, and it can be extended and extended.
Pity......
Huang Shang thought about Jingkang's shame, and everything he saw on the border of Guangxi suddenly flashed in his mind.
It's just a town of a thousand people.
What if you change to the whole opening?
How tragic would that be?
"Luckily, there's still time!"
Huang Shang restrained his thoughts and stepped forward.
Although the number of people entering the city is extremely large, they are shoulder to shoulder, but because he sits upright on a horse, his posture is upright, and his temperament is outstanding, he can be seen at a glance.
After a little half an hour of tossing, I just entered the city, and suddenly there were two more men in front of me, who looked over with red eyes, and called: "Virtuous brother! Virtuous brother! ”
Huang Shang was stunned, looked at them, and only said hesitantly after half a ring: "Brother Xu? Brother Hua? ”
Xu Feng! Perfect!
This hesitation is not acting.
It's really that these two reincarnators are too haggard to really recognize them for a while.
Xu Feng was originally a man with five big and three coarse people, and that's it, but he has always been the appearance of a beautiful son, and now he can enter the beggar gang, you can imagine how much has changed.
Seeing that a scholar in front of Huang Shang opened the way, and the four servants behind him carried their luggage, not only did they not have the appearance of dusty servants, but the whole person was more handsome and outstanding, Xu Feng and Wujian licked their chapped lips unconsciously.
God is pitiful, they have been guarding the city gate of Kaifeng Mansion for almost a month, and they are about to become Wangfu stones.
Let's talk about Xu Feng first.
After the first battle of Sanssouci Cave, Huang Shang was taken away, although Xu Yue comforted him afterwards, after all, the two escaped and avoided using life-saving hole cards, even if they paid the "Tao Sutra", they did not lose anything.
In terms of reincarnation alone, this is indeed the case, not to mention that there is only one life, and the value of life-saving hole cards is often higher.
Therefore, Xu Yue was heartbroken at the time, and later he was relieved, so he should be ruined to avoid disasters.
But Xu Feng couldn't get over the hurdles, and always felt that he had finally won the jackpot, but the lottery ticket was lost.
The feeling of losing a billion made him insomnia.
However, the sea of people is vast, and Xu Feng has to accept the reality.
Until two months ago, he found that Wufeng was wandering sneakily at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.
It's so miserable that two men have met.
