"What are you going to do with the trouble that comes your way?"

Tianling lowered his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were rising, and Lord Song, who was upright and upright, analyzed these things, which was extremely cute!

Then the Heavenly Spirit spoke, "Then what do I do now, according to you?" ”

"How does this official know?" Lord Song replied confidently, "This official is just giving you a wake-up call, and you still think I can give you ideas?" Think beautifully! I'm not your father. ”

“······” Tianling slapped himself hard in his heart, and this is still very cute? Are you blind!

Looking at the speechless Tianling who was choked, Song was in a good mood, stretched out three fingers and dangled in front of Tianling, "Three baskets of Jiangzhou crabs, this official will reveal another top-secret news to you." ”

"That's not necessary." Tian Ling didn't think about it, and directly refused.

"This news is very useful, it is related to your current predicament, if you know, you don't have to worry about what you just said." Song Daren.

"That's not necessary." Heavenly Spirit still refused.

"Why?" Lord Song asked.

"Won't people learn to grow?" Out of the corner of his eye, Tian Ling glanced at the food on the stone table that had been wiped out for the most part, "The same trick, it's useless to use it twice at the same time!" What's more, in addition to the fact that you are tinkering with machinery every day, you don't necessarily know as much as I do. ”

Lord Song was debunked, flicked his sleeves and hummed, "I've grown up, it's terrible, my wings are hard, I'm going to heaven, and I don't even listen to the words of this official." ”

"How can you?" Tianling smiled and tugged at Lord Song's sleeve, "The lake fish and crabs in Jiangzhou are entrusted to you to build the embankment, this is what should be honored to you, how can you exchange it for top-secret information?" Wait until the golden autumn season, send a few baskets to the adults online. ”

"You still have a little conscience." Master Song was satisfied, and then asked again, "Do you know what the official said just now?" ”

"What about someone else finding out my identity as an in-housekeeper?" Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"Hmm." Lord Song hummed, thought about it and said, "If you are stabbed out by that person who doesn't care about you, you will be the one who suffers." ”

"Lord Song, you don't have to worry about this." Tian Ling smiled lightly, "No matter how powerful he is, can he still go past the one above me?" ”

"The more you can't go over, but they are a family, they are blood relatives who can't be separated, you have to use it again, in their eyes, it's just a pity that it's a pity to be gone." Song said mercilessly, "Do you really think that if you get a little favor, you won't be afraid of heaven and earth?" This is the world of the Wei family! ”

Tianling didn't get angry because of Song Qi's scolding, but his smile became even bigger, "Lord Song, what you said is extremely true, but it is precisely because of this that I am not afraid." ”

Seeing Song, Tianling was puzzled and explained, "Ordinary people are the first in terms of flesh and blood, but the Heavenly family is different, in them, the country is the first." ”

"So as long as I can bring him a stable fortune, he will keep me safe."

"So now, what about in the future? Although the official does not understand the things in the business field, he knows that the variables in the business field are extremely large, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the loss of everything. One day I won't need you, how will you deal with yourself? Lord Song was not persuaded by the Heavenly Spirit, but expressed the worry in his heart.

"So I can only do that others can't replace me, and if he doesn't have me, I can't get all this I have done." Tian Ling smiled.

Song looked at Tianling, who said this sentence plainly, and was stunned, then smiled, "It seems that the official's worries are superfluous, and you already have a way to deal with it." ”

"Being in such a situation, I have to be more mindful." Heavenly Spirit Dao.

Song opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say it, and finally sighed softly, looking at Tianling's eyes, there was a little more distress.

It's just a child, but you have to carry so much.

"Lord Song, I want to ask you something." Seeing that Song didn't speak, Tianling spoke.

"What's the matter?" Song said.

"How did you become an official in the first place? Is it also through the imperial examination? "Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"Or else?" Lord Song threw a roll of his eyes at Tianling, and his family was not a noble prince who could succeed his ancestors.

"Then can you tell me what the imperial examination of my court is like?" The Heavenly Spirit then asked.

"What do you ask of this? Still want to fail the imperial examination? As soon as Lord Song finished speaking, he reacted violently and looked at Tianling incredulously.

"Not impossible." The Heavenly Spirit nodded.

"This ······ Your Majesty will agree? Lord Song shook his head, "No, he will definitely not agree." ”

Tianling is the emperor's cash cow, and the emperor will not be willing to let him do another way, not to mention, Tianling is still a small chamberlain, and he will definitely find a reason to recall him back to the palace in the future, and he will definitely not let him stay outside the palace in the name of the third prince of Xuanping Houfu.

"That's why I want to ask you, Lord Song, what is the imperial examination in my dynasty like, how is the number of candidates determined, and what is the content of the examination? What is the standard for the ranking to be arranged, and see if this road can be taken. Tianling approached Song Ke, "Everyone thinks it's impossible, it looks difficult, but invisibly, there is a lot less resistance, isn't it?" ”

"With my current situation, if I just rely on the business in hand, it won't work at all, and the business can still fight the officials? As you said, Your Majesty values me now, and if I don't need it in the future, I will still recall him to the palace, so I will find a way that he can't recall back. Tianling looked at Lord Song with blazing eyes, "Lord Song, I don't want to go back to the palace." ”

"If you can really make a name for yourself and become a scholar of the country, it is not a bad way to sit on the identity of the third prince of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." Lord Song thought for a long time and nodded.

"It's just that this matter is action, and there are a few places where I am afraid it will not work." Song said.

"Which ones?" Heavenly Spirit asked.

"I take the imperial examination, divided into three levels: the township examination, the examination, and the palace examination, and the township examination is presided over by the state capitals in various places, such as the township examination in Pingjing City, which is presided over by the Pingjing Mansion Yin, and the scholars who have passed the township examination will enter the capital to participate in the examination, and this examination will no longer be presided over by the Fu Yin, but by the Ministry of Rites, all candidates will be examined in the Gongyuan, four main examiners, six auxiliary exams, the main examination will be in charge of the questions and rankings, and the scholars of the Pavilion University will serve as the auxiliary examination and examination discipline, and the personnel will be transferred by the Ministry of Officials."

"The capital is not as good as other state capitals, and it has become a common practice for someone to have a big banquet and invite guests to celebrate after the township test, and it has become a trend to receive and give gifts, so that when the list is published, even if they do not take the exam in their own house, they will send someone to see the list to see if there is a family close to them, and if there is, they will prepare gifts and congratulate them early to get closer."

"So if you win, it's hard not to let people know." Song glanced at Tianling, "If you win the township test, the people in the capital will know that the third prince of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has won, if the palace knows, it will be a question whether you can continue to participate in the test." ”

Hearing this, Tian Ling nodded, "This is indeed a problem, will you try?" How is the exam conducted? ”

"The supplementary examination will specifically check the identity information of the candidates, and then submit it to the chief examiner for confirmation after it is correct, and the four examiners will confirm the candidate's information again, and then enter the tribute institute to wait for the exam."

"The main examiners and auxiliary examiners only confirm the identity of the candidates, as long as the scholars who have passed the township examination can enter the Tribute Academy to wait for the exam, right?" Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"Yes." Song nodded.

"It is true that the imperial examination should be so cautious." Tianling nodded approvingly, "As long as I pass the township test, there should be no big problem in the tribute academy test." ”

"How can there be no big problem, big problem." Song shook his head and said.

"Doesn't it mean that as long as you pass the township test, you can go to the Tribute Academy? The township test list is released in public, can you still not admit it? Heavenly Spirit was surprised, "What's the big problem you're talking about?" ”

"The big problem is in the Tribute House." Song paused and said with a strange expression, "The auxiliary examiners will check the identity of the candidates and the items they bring when they enter the Tribute Academy, so as to prevent cheating. ”

"I understand this, you can't take the exam on your behalf, you can't bring books and other things that are not related to the exam." Heavenly Spirit Dao.

"Yes, but the problem is in this substitute exam, I have a precedent of someone else taking the exam, and after that, the identity of the candidate is extremely strict. How strict is it? In addition to checking basic information such as name, state, county, and appearance, the examiners will also check the gender of the candidates. ”

"Gender? Do I still have a woman in the office? This surprised the Heavenly Spirit.

"Nope." Song shook his head, "But there are women who take the imperial examination, and they are talented, and they won the Tanhua, and it is because of her that I began to check the gender of the candidates in the imperial examination." ”

"This woman is the precedent you just said about someone else's proxy test?" Heavenly Spirit asked.

"Exactly, there was actually a reason why the woman risked the crime of killing her head to take the exam for her brother." Song said, "This matter is a long story······

"Then you'll make a long story short." Tian Ling pulled out a box of dim sum from the package containing food and handed it to Lord Song, "You speak slowly, and you should give me insight." ”

"That is still the reign of the first emperor, about 20 years ago, that year, the spring of that year, the candidates in the states and counties as in previous years, looking forward to being able to stand out from the examination and have a good future, the candidates around the capital are okay, next to the Gongyuan, there is no need to rush to the exam, but those farther states and counties need to start from their own states and counties in advance to come to the capital, some more than ten days in advance, and some even need to start to enter Beijing a few months in advance to catch the exam."

"Danzhou is the farthest state and county from Pingjing in my dynasty, from Yongzhou to Beijing, the post envoy has to run for a month and a half, so the candidates who have passed the township examination in Danzhou generally start to enter Beijing to participate in the next year's examination as soon as the list is released. The autumn of the first year and the spring of the next year, there is only one winter in between, the land of Danzhou, the climate has always been mild, it never snows in winter, and it is not as cold as Pingjing. ”

"Because of the climate and distance, the candidates in Danzhou suffered a lot in the imperial examination, because they wasted a winter of study time to hurry, and when they arrived in the capital, it was very easy to be unsuitable for the climate, water and soil, and their physical condition was problematic, and they fell down before they got through the examination of the Tribute Academy."

Tianling nodded approvingly, the fatigue of the rush and the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the waste of several months of studying books, compared to other candidates, it is indeed a loss.

"It is also for this reason that most of the scholars in Danzhou are either rich or expensive, and few ordinary families have achieved fame."

"It's because I can't afford it." Tianling probably understands in his heart that the cost of supporting and studying is huge, and in a situation like Danzhou, it is a matter of great probability that he will try to fail the list, and many ordinary families will smash the pot and sell iron for their children, if they fail the list, it will be difficult to have the financial resources and energy to take the exam for the second time.

"Yes." Lord Song nodded, "At the beginning, the candidates in Danzhou, whether rich or poor, entered Beijing after the township examination in the county of Benzhou, but later, the Danzhou Prefecture thought of a way to write an excerpt to invite the first emperor, and asked the first emperor to allow the candidates of various states and counties to move to each other. ”

"Transfer?" Tianling was amazed when he heard it, and he really knew how to find a way!

"Student? It's a new term, and although I've never heard of it, it's pretty much what it means. "Song Dadao," the first emperor agreed to this matter, but set a requirement for this mutual transfer of nationality, there must be documents from the two state capitals, and it must be guaranteed by Sima of the two places to transfer the nationality of each other. There is nothing wrong with this, but after a long time, some of the Sima people who are stuck with the candidates moving to their hometowns have begun to have other thoughts, giving money to do things, and some even clearly mark the price! ”

"The powerful family is rich and powerful, and if they can talk to the state government and Sima, and they can also take the money, it will be easy to move their hometown, and they can afford to spend two years of living in the capital. These candidates at home only need to read the exam wholeheartedly, and it is naturally easy to pass the exam. ”
