Chapter 280: Essay on Strategy

The little second brother was slightly stunned when he saw her being the first to sit in the carriage, he didn't expect that this short scholar was the first to sign up, could it be that this year's candidates are more polite and let this person pass first?

- Otherwise, how did he squeeze his little size into it?

Gu Jinshu, who was sitting in the carriage in shock, came to her senses for a long time, but when she lifted her eyes to look, she was colliding with the eyes of the little second brother unexpectedly, she was slightly stunned and chuckled: "Little second brother, is there something wrong with Xiaosheng?" ”

“…… Well, it's good to be objective. ”

The little second brother lowered his head after speaking, this face is really good, didn't he squeeze the people in line behind with a face? Thinking of this, he shook his head, always feeling that something was wrong.

Taixue has a pivotal position in Beicang State, and now half of the bureaucrats in Beicang Country are selected from Taixue University, so it can be said that Taixue is the training base for officials in Beicang State, so every three years there will be a disturbance here.

Looking at the long queue, Gu Jinshu narrowed his eyes, Taixue can be divided into two parts, one part is that you need to be admitted to the school with real talent, and the second part relies on the blessing of the ancestors, each family will always get one or two places every few years, and Song Wen and the son of the Zheng family obviously belong to this list.

These sons should not be among the 100 places, otherwise this will definitely be a battle for the dragon.

"Little second brother, among the more than 100 places this year, you shouldn't count those noble sons who are blessed by their ancestors!"

She was a foreigner who didn't know much about things in the capital, so she hit the idea on the little second brother, and the little second brother's eyes moved instantly, and he wanted to stretch out his slightly rough palm, but suddenly retracted it.

"I see that you are not a good person, so I will not ask you for money for this news. Although this time it is a little stricter than before, these people are not in the ranking, and listening to the gossip is just a formality. ”

Gu Jinshu's tense expression relaxed slightly, although his talent was slightly inferior to others, but if he counted the quota of this noble son, the possibility would be extremely pitiful.

At noon, the registration finally ended, and several people were unusually dull on the way back, missing the lightness when they went, but one by one they were thoughtful and didn't know what they were thinking. Gu Jinshu looked at the expressions of several people, and already understood a little in her heart.

Not to mention the scene when they saw the two gentlemen, the long dragon alone was enough to make a group of scholars feel desperate, this is simply the rhythm of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and the pressure can be imagined.

Of course, the people who went to the capital alone were several times more hesitant and helpless than others, both mentally and physically. Most of the people who only went to Beijing blocked all their retreats, and they had no retreat but to move forward.

After entering the inn, several people saluted each other and said goodbye one after another, as if they wanted to review the books as much as possible, but Gu Jinshu sat in the wing room but couldn't read a word, Ran Yichen's presence caught her off guard too much.

"I'm Gu Jin."

After a while, she muttered as if admonishing herself, then quickly moved her eyes to the book, and after gathering her mind, she began to browse the book at a glance.

On the day of the Taixue Academy's assessment, the capital was lively and heard, and the little second brother continued to wait there after sending people over, and the yellow and white things he earned in the past few days were more than his salary in a year.

Gu Jinshu and the others naturally didn't know what the little second brother thought, they devoted themselves to the exam paper at this time, and everyone was stunned when they looked at the square italics. Some candidates even flipped through the front and back, only to find that there was only one question.

Among them, there are also many bold, but when they asked the invigilator, they ushered in his faint voice: "There is only one question this year, and it is to discuss the battle situation in Shoucheng." ”

The examinee's face instantly fell, in previous years, it was a few rigid questions, but anyone with excellent memory will always deal with it easily, but this year it is so difficult, what is the difference between this and the imperial examination?

This kind of thing doesn't just happen here, but it happens from time to time wherever there are candidates, and the answer is similar to the answer given by the invigilator. All the candidates who are taking the exam are like vegetables at this time.

Of course, there is one person who is an exception.

Compared to the people next to her who gritted her teeth, Gu Jinshu's expression was indifferent beyond everyone's imagination, and she was also ecstatic in her heart at this moment!

The reason is that it is those rote memorization, so I am very worried that I will not be able to give Liao Nishang an explanation, but now I am not too surprised to see this question, it is like it was tailor-made for her.

She used to be by Ran Yichen's side, how could she not know that this question was most likely drafted by Ran Yichen himself, how could this group of little radish heads have such a tortuous experience as her?

The Battle of Shoucheng in the previous life directly established Ran Yichen's absolute dominance in the north, and it can be said that most of the Beicang Kingdom was brought down by him, which also indirectly led to the panic of the prince of the Beicang Kingdom, so it later evolved into a brother's seizure of power.

The candidates present were indeed not as tortuous and bizarre as Gu Jinshu, so they didn't have the cheating artifact rewarded by God, so they had to scratch their ears and cheeks and think about how to write, and even many people had given up the last rescue and had already climbed on the small table and fell asleep.

After an hour and a half of the exam, everyone finally walked out of the examination room in a dead breath, and Gu Jinshu came and went and gathered on the carriage with those few people.

Even if they are old, they are just some children after all, so the blow to them from that fatal question can be imagined. Not to mention the tears that were forced into the eyes, just say that the dejected appearance can highlight the mood of several people.

One of them even tugged at his hair blankly, and said with a twilight face: "This time the topic is unfair to us. ”

"Indeed, most of us are lowly in status, how do we know the situation in Shoucheng?"

The other also echoed the voice, although he didn't say it directly, but the implication was also heard by everyone.

Not only did other people's faces change slightly, but even Gu Jinshu herself was slightly stunned, these children of the poor family couldn't see the situation in Han Cheng, and they couldn't hear about it, but these heirs of the family were different, they always knew something.

"These words cannot be said after all."

Gu Jinshu looked at a few stunned young people and persuaded her, after all, she deeply understood Ran Yichen's temper, and she was afraid that these people were going to be planted, and living was the premise of ambition.
