In the blink of an eye, February has arrived, the relationship between the various ministries and the officials in the court has been sorted out, all government affairs have been implemented in a tight manner, and various plans have been slowly opened

Wang Jun held the imperial examination in a row, and it also reached the stage of the examination.

Due to the large number of scholars who came to take the exam, and the inns in Chang'an City were full of scholars, Wang Jun asked the Yellow Turban Lux to demolish the Taishi Mansion and change it into a academy, so that some students who had no place to live could move in.

At this time, it was just early spring, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the students talked about it in the city and on the riverside.

Wang Jun was dressed in white, shaking a fan, walking and shaking in the dress of a gentleman, and taking Tianlongwei, who was dressed as a servant, to play in Chang'an City, looking at the extremely enthusiastic scholars, feeling a frozen heart, and warm.

Wang Jun felt a little tired of walking, turned around and walked into a restaurant called Sihailou, and saw that most of them were scholars who were rushing to take the exam, most of them were in green clothes, wearing cloth scarves, wearing long swords to talk about learning, and the imperial examination was noisy.

This is a junior who greeted him, bowed down and said, "This son, our restaurant is full, if you don't mind, you can only share a table with people." If Childe minds, he can only find another place. ”

Wang Jun put away the folding fan, glanced at the lobby, frowned lightly and said: "My son likes to be lively, but the first floor is too noisy, so I will help my son arrange for him to share a table on the second floor!" ”

Xiao Er led Wang Jun up to the second floor, let Wang Jun wait for a while, then walked to the table next to the window, said a few words to the two students who were talking, pointed to Wang Jun, saw the two nodding, ran back and said, "Childe, those two students agreed, please come with the little one." ”

Xiao Er walked over with Wang Jun, Wang Jun hugged his fists and said: "I am Wang Ping of Chang'an, I have seen two gentlemen, I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you." ”

The younger man hugged his fists and said: "The student is Lang Evil Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming, he is a friend Lu Su who I met in Chang'an, and the word is respectful." When you go out, it is also fate that you and I know each other. ”

Wang Jun glanced at the two of them, Lu Su was loyal, Zhuge Liang was handsome, his eyes were deep, he smiled slightly, and said, "It's been famous for a long time." ”

The two only regarded it as a polite remark and didn't say much.

Turning around and saying to Xiao Er: "Please also invite Xiao Er, serve a few exquisite side dishes, and bring a pot of wine." ”

"Yes, Childe." Xiao Er said with a smile.

Soon the little two served the dishes up, put them on the table, bowed down and said, "Everyone, use it slowly." "Retreat.

Wang Jun picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the two gentlemen what to say before, I wonder if we can listen to it?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and felt nothing, but when Wang Jun was curious, Lu Su explained: "The two of us are talking about the imperial examination system. ”

Wang Jun showed curiosity on his face, pretended to be ignorant, and said, "We heard that this is a good thing!" As long as there is learning, you can become an official. ”

Lu Su smiled, nodded and said: "Kong Ming and I both think that this is a good thing for the country, it can allow more students who have no way to show their talents, but for the children of our family, it is not very friendly." ”

Wang Jun deliberately frowned and said, "No, how did I hear that the children of the family are all scholars, and they are the real power, at most, they are to screen out some people who do not learn and have no skills." ”

Zhuge Liang really thought that Wang Jun was an ignorant son of a family, and explained: "The real reason is that the right to speak in the perceptual system is in the family, and the right to speak in the imperial examination is in the hands of Your Majesty." ”

Wang Jun continued to pretend to understand and said: "Aren't the two the same, anyway, most of the people who study now are from families, but there is one more exam, can't they all be officials?" ”

The two couldn't help but be suspicious of Wang Jun, according to the tradition of the family, people like Wang Jun would not appear, Zhuge Liang asked without a trace: "Haven't you asked which family the little brother is in the house?" ”

When Wang Jun heard this, he immediately understood that the two of them were suspicious, and he looked naïve and ignorant, and said: "Our family was engaged in a butcher's business, and at that time, an altar was built outside Chang'an City, and the family made a fortune in the butcher's business at that time. Later, my family asked me to go to school, but I was too tired to be idle, so I played freely at home. ”

The two of them seemed to suddenly realize, and felt that Wang Jun was spoiled by his family, and said: "I see, I don't know if you have heard of the book sea plan?" ”

Wang Jun nodded again and again, and said, "My family just asked me to go there to study, but I didn't agree." ”

The two felt that his family doted on him stupidly, but regardless of the affairs of the two, they said: "The development of the book sea plan will be the trend of the rise of the poor family in the future, so the family has resistance." ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "I estimate that no matter how much the family resists, with His Majesty's eloquence, he will not compromise, and he will definitely not let the family occupy too many positions." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, judging from Your Majesty's development route, it has always been to suppress the family, support the small Haoqiang, and the Hanmen, even if it is the current Hubu Shangshu Xunyu, Your Majesty has also suppressed it because of the relationship between the previous dynasty and the family, although it is used but not reused." ”

The two chatted and chatted, completely forgetting about Wang Jun.

Wang Jun saw that the two of them forgot him, and he was not dissatisfied, for the two of them, he was just a table eater, and it was good to be able to talk so much to himself.

.......

On February 20th, the spring rain continued, and the cold of winter was once again in full swing, and every student who came to take the exam was wrapped tightly, either with an umbrella on his own or a scholar holding an umbrella.

It turned out that the palace of Liu Han had been demolished and the tribute courtyard was placed. There are eight gates in the Gongyuan, and a team of elite soldiers is guarded outside each gate, who is responsible for checking the belongings carried by the students.

Because of Wang Jun's will, these elite soldiers carried out quite thoroughly, except for a few entrainments, most of them passed the inspection safely.

Seven days later, the imperial examination ended, and all the students were dispersed and returned to the inn or home to rest.

Because Wang Jun used his fame and reputation as soon as he came up, the official ranking did not come out until half a month later, and a total of 158 Jinshi were selected, and the first three were Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and Gu Yong.

The next day, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall held a palace test, the students entered the hall in order, after the eunuch's point, the palace was not allowed to look directly at Wang Jun's face, Yu Guang secretly glanced at Wang Jun on the high platform, and bowed his hand and said: "Meet the king, I wish the king the immortal blessings and eternal longevity, and live in Tianqi." ”

"Flat." Wang Jun nodded slightly and said slowly. "You and others are all my talents, and I hope to play well in the palace examination, when your name will be sung all over the world, as the first imperial examination of the people, your name will also be passed down through the ages."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the students bowed together again,

This voice is unfamiliar to others, but Lu Su and Zhuge Liang are extremely smart people, and when they remembered the gentleman they met in the restaurant, they couldn't help but look up at Wang Jun, but they didn't expect it to be a private interview with Wang Jun.

Wang Jun noticed the gazes of the two, nodded with a smile, and said with a slight movement of his lips: "You are both great talents, but this is the first time that the imperial examination has been held, you must play it well, and you must not let it be hidden. ”

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su trusted Wang Jun at this time, and their hearts felt heavy and warm, indicating that Wang Jun was paying attention to them, bowing again, and said silently in their hearts: "Your Majesty, the students must go all out." ”

The eunuch Li Mu said loudly: "Send the exam papers." ”

Then a famous eunuch held the exam paper and went down, and after a while, only "rustling" was left in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to answer.
