The imperial examinations of the Dasheng Dynasty were borrowed from the previous dynasties and were divided into children's examinations, township examinations, guild examinations and palace examinations.

The children's examination shall be subject to the specific situation of the officials in the place of household registration, once a year, and those who have passed the examination will be exempted from taxes, and they will have a number of privileges such as not worshipping officials.

The township examination is held once every two or three years, and in the provincial capitals of each province, those who have passed the examination have the qualification to raise officials, and it is the lowest admission ticket to enter the court as an official.

The examination is held once every three years, in the capital, also known as the spring festival, it is to be held in the spring, and there are some places far away from the lifter even to set off three or four months in advance, on the road to celebrate the New Year, are all in order to be able to once ascend the emperor's list, the fish leaps into the dragon gate.

Generally speaking, as long as you pass the entrance examination, you can participate in the temple examination, and those who participate in the temple examination will not be brushed off as long as they do not involve cheating or other major problems, so the entrance examination is the most important exam for scholars.

Every time there is an exam, the capital will be lively because of these moves from other places.

Gu Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at the little diced radish in front of him.

"You're going to an exam? How old are you? ”

Gu Hui pursed his lips, his face full of unconvinced. "I'm almost ten years old."

Listening to her familiar words, the corners of Gu Zhi's lips lifted a smile, and he changed the sentence back as it was.

"Where is our Ling'er going to be ten years old, only nine and a half years old!"

Gu Hui shrugged her shoulders, knowing that Gu Zhi didn't take what he said to heart, she raised her head and looked at Gu Zhi with serious eyes, and there was a raging fire in her eyes.

"I'm going to start the exam from Xiucai, and my father still doesn't remember what I promised you, Ling'er will be the top student in the exam, and let my father personally crown and wear a robe for me!"

[Have you ever made this agreement?] 】

Gu Zhi frowned and thought to himself, staring at Gu Hui with some suspicion, maybe it was an excuse that Gu Hui made up to achieve his goal.

According to what he knew about this child, she was bold, and she really could do this kind of thing.

Gu Hui pursed her lips, tears skillfully welled up in her eyes, she looked very pitiful, she covered her heart, and some of the baby's fat little faces were full of sadness.

"People remember their father's words so clearly, and my father forgot them in a blink of an eye, big pig's trotters."

What is a big pig's trotters? 】

Gu Zhi only felt that this child was becoming more and more incomprehensible in speech, but when she saw her crying so sadly, she couldn't help but feel a lot of weakness in her heart.

[Probably...... Really forgot...... Right? 】

I didn't care to think about it carefully, and comforted him repeatedly. "How could my father forget? Of course, remember the agreement with Ling'er! Hahaha Ling'er has a really good memory, my father is just talking to you for fun. ”

Su Lide stood behind the two of them and sighed helplessly.

[Your Majesty, you are so easy to be tricked by the princess. 】

Gu Hui sobbed pitifully on the surface, but his heart blossomed with joy.

Since getting older, the books he reads involve more and more knowledge, but the master in the palace school is just teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics step by step, if there is anything he doesn't understand, Gu Hui still needs to ask in private.

The masters who taught the princesses in the palace were all officials in the imperial court, and there were also old stubborns who wanted to find a job to support the elderly, and their mentality was not all enlightened.

Sometimes even if Gu Hui gets an answer, he will still be taught two sentences: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented." She didn't have the temperament to smile and nod her head when she was said, so she naturally pretended to be innocent and went back.

These gentlemen even came to Gu Zhi to complain, although Gu Zhi ignored it, but after a long time, Gu Hui also felt that it was not interesting.

Recently, the queen also said something to Xu Liren, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented", "As a princess, you just need to have fun happily".

Gu Hui was worried about these things, so he was worried that one day his father would think about it and think that she was old and should get married, so he simply made the first move.

Sure enough, Gu Zhi listened to her grand ambition and squinted his eyes, "Ling'er wants to be the champion?" ”

Gu Hui nodded a little weakly, in fact, she didn't have such far-reaching thoughts, she just wanted to have an excuse to study seriously at this stage, not to mention it seriously, how could Gu Zhi pay attention to it?

Probably also rebellious psychology, there used to be so many opportunities to read, but I felt painful.

Now in this dynasty that discriminates against women's reading, even if she doesn't have so many grand ambitions in her heart, she hasn't changed the mind of the entire dynasty, but she has been tested and taught by so many gentlemen and queens, and she is a little unconvinced in her heart.

It's something like, "You don't let me study, I'm going to study, I'm going to take exams." The rebellious mentality.

People are like this, they are supported by many people to do it, but they will worry here and dare not there, but if they are opposed by many people, they will have the courage to move forward.

Gu Hui sometimes thought about it seriously, and felt that it was probably because he had followed the rules in his previous life, which might be a belated period of rebellion.

Looking at the little girl nodding, Gu Zhi was a little surprised, but there was a sense of relief that seemed to have been expected to happen, when this girl had short legs and feet, Gu Zhi could already see that she was different from other daughters.

Although she looks cute and simple, she is usually very well-behaved and obedient, never causes him any trouble, and does not rely on the identity of a princess to bully others.

But Gu Zhi knew that Gu Hui was not a conformist in his bones.

He sometimes sighs, feeling that this daughter's temperament is most like him, and because of this, he has a preference for Gu Hui that no other child has.

The kid also said...... wanted to become the champion, and did not forget the agreement between the two of them, this kind of behavior similar to "I will go forward only for you" really touched Gu Zhi, and the vanity of the old father was satisfied......

Gu Zhi narrowed his eyes, with temptation.

"Have you figured it out?"

Gu Hui's eyes lit up, knowing that there might be a play, he nodded again and again, "My daughter really thought clearly, if she doesn't win the champion, her daughter will never marry." ”

[Oh my God! I'm just kidding, if you meet a beautiful boy, you can still consider it. 】

Sure enough, Gu Zhi rolled his eyes and mocked mercilessly.

"I see that you just want to rely on me for the rest of your life."

Gu Hui pinched Gu Zhi's shoulders doggedly, and took his hand and shook it from side to side, pleading in a delicate voice.

"Isn't my father willing to raise Ling'er for a lifetime, Ling'er really wants to go, Father~Father~Please, Father~"

"Stop, stop, my head will be shaken by you."

Gu Zhi raised his hand and rubbed his head, only to feel that his children were all debts.

"It's okay to go, but you have to wear men's clothes...... Anyway, I don't know anything. ”

Gu Hui's eyes lit up, and he kissed Gu Zhi's face with a click.

"Thank you, Father!"

Gu Zhi touched the saliva on his face, and took the handkerchief handed by Su Lide a little helplessly, but his heart softened uncontrollably.

[This kid, I'm afraid I'm going to eat him. 】

Reaching out and touching Gu Hui's head, Gu Zhi looked at him with gentle eyes, "Ling'er just do it, everything is with the father and the emperor, don't be afraid of anything...... The father is waiting for the day when Ling'er will be crowned and robed. ”
