In March of the first year of Jiayou (1056), the father and son went to Beijing by dry road, traveled thousands of miles, wore the Sword Pavilion, and crossed the Qinling Mountains, which lasted more than two months.

In May, he arrived in Bianjing, lived in a monk's temple, and waited for the autumn exams. Among the forty-five candidates who came to Beijing from Meizhou, Su Kunzhong was among the thirteen in the examination (Su Shi was the second in the middle of the examination). You will be qualified for the spring temple examination.

In the first month, Ouyang Xiu presided over the examination of the Ministry of Rites. When Ouyang revised Su Shi's article, he mistakenly thought that this article was written by his disciple Zeng Gong, and approved the second article in order to avoid suspicion.

But even so, the Ministry of Rites re-examined, Su Zizhan won the first place with the "Spring and Autumn Righteousness", and the two sons of the Su family were the same as the Jinshi and the first, and the name Zhenjing Division. And Su Zizhan is famous for being the first-class scholar in the country.

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "For more than thirty years, no one has treated me humanely!" He predicted that the future literary world will belong to Su Shi!

After Emperor Renzong's palace test, Xing Chongchong said to the queen: "I have found two prime ministers for my descendants!" ”

All life was ordinary and peaceful, until Xiao Chaoyun was nine years old, a series of events happened, which made Chaoyun's peaceful life broken.

The villages at the foot of the mountain suddenly became much less populated, and the usual bustling markets gradually became deserted and desolate.

When Xiao Chaoyun and his senior brother saw this scene when they went down the mountain, their hearts were astringent, and they asked the master and the senior brothers, but they just had complicated faces, and even the senior brother Mingguan, who had always been noisy, was silent.

Obviously, they all know, but why don't they talk about it?

Xiao Chaoyun had to concentrate on cultivating Buddhism with doubts, waiting for the moment when they were willing to speak.

One day, a group of black-clothed people suddenly came to the temple, their expressions stiff, and their leaders seemed kinder.

"Amitabha, how many donors come to the small temple, what are you doing?" The abbot greeted politely, but apparently had already expected their arrival.

The leader whispered a few words to the abbot, and the abbot suddenly changed his face, and without waiting for Chaoyun to observe carefully, the abbot gave a gesture with a look, and Ming Si took Xiao Chaoyun back to the inner courtyard.

"Senior brother, what's wrong? What happened? Why does the master ...... him"

Ming Si shook his head and interrupted Chaoyun's questioning, "Little junior sister, you are still young, and this matter will be understood sooner or later." ”

"I'm very reluctant, but the time has come." Mingguan suddenly said something inexplicable.

"Senior brother!" Mingsi glared at Mingguan.

Time? What time? What does it mean when the time is up?

The man in black didn't know what to say to the master, and after the man in black left, the master had a serious face for a few days and didn't say a word. He also frequently looked at Chaoyun and sighed.
