Zhang Yuan has already set off to descend the mountain. ”

"Report! Zhang Yuan is still thirty miles away from the Gongyuan!"

In the Xiangguo Mansion, there are constantly people coming in and out, reporting the dynamics of the surveillance objects.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but get up: "Mother, don't you send someone to stop you?"

"Calm down, what's the hurry?" Mrs. Sima opened her eyes, her expression was a little irritable, "There is only one talent left and right, what is there to make a big deal about?"

"Do you think that Wei Niang doesn't want to stop it? The reputation of that cheap race has already spread among those Qianshou people. It's easy to stop him from going to the exam, but it's troublesome to deal with the rest of the matter. Thirty thousand scholars from the Han family gathered in Wang Jing, if they were clamoured, they would not become anti-dogs, and the reputation of the erector would be even louder!"

Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes unwillingly, and his eyes danced with a calculating evil fire: "Mother, it's better to ...... like this." ”

Mrs. Sima's eyes lit up, and she glanced at him: "You really want to use it as a guise for your mother!"

"This is a conspiracy, I want to see how that responds!"

......

At the beginning of the day, the sky was still dark, Zhang Yuan got up from the collapse, practiced the "Zen sword" in the courtyard for a while, and then walked down the mountain with his burden.

The so-called Zen sword is a method of sword learning that he has figured out by himself. The person who holds the sword does not re-move, and he does not re-collect and does not re-emerge, which is not so much about practicing the Fa as it is about cultivating the Fa. Cultivating the heart, mind, and sword will make you more aware of your true heart, clear and clean, and when you are fighting fiercely against the enemy, you will be more calm and rational, and at the same time, it will also make the Soul Destroying Sword more mellow and sophisticated.

At this time, the sky was still dark, and there was not a single pedestrian on the mountain road. In the early spring, the mountain breeze blowing through the human body seems to be able to freeze people's bone marrow.

There were a few birdsong faintly in the mountain forest, which was even deeper and more remote. The black-robed young man who walked among them walked firmly forward on the withered leaves on the ground, just like the many people and things he encountered in his long life in the future, and he never let him stop a step.

It is nothing more than sword and blood, gathering and scattering.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Yuan felt that he had entered another world.

Dense crowds of people crowded the alleys, each carrying lanterns, dotted in the night, from the lanes into the streets, and from the streets to the two thoroughfares that run through the entire Wangjing Luoyi, and finally, in the direction of the Gongyuan.

These are all scholars from all over the world, driven by the dual desire to revitalize their families and get ahead, and they do not hesitate to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, hoping for the imperial examination.

The Great Wei Imperial Examination, in order to prevent the local families from squeezing out the Hanmen scholars, was held in Wangjing Luoyi during the reign of Taizong.

For local scholars, the official office will receive the official seal document, which will be used as the examination voucher, and then go to Beijing to take the examination.

Therefore, 30,000 scholars rushed to Luoyi one after another, and all of them gathered together at the dawn of this early spring, and rushed towards the place where fate was decided.

It's just that 30,000 seems to be a lot, but it is very small in the whole world. From this, it can be analyzed how far the position of local officials has been controlled by the family.

There are three tests for the content of the imperial examination.

The first level: the Ming Jing test. This test is the Confucian scriptures and meanings, and there are thousands of historical books. Also commonly known as the general knowledge test, as long as the scholar is willing to work hard and read and memorize for many years, he can usually pass the test. After passing this level, he is a Xiucai and has the qualifications to serve as a local official.

The second level is the question and test. This level is to test the actual administrative ability of the scholars, and covers a variety of fields, which requires a certain amount of experience, with their own knowledge and cognition of the scholars to pass the test, rather than just knowing that the door is not out, blindly reading to confuse the past.

The third level, the temple test. At this point, it is the emperor's personal selection of talents, staying in Beijing or stationing in different places, focusing on cultivation or general talents, it all depends on this one. Generally speaking, the scholars who enter this level are only superior and inferior, and there is no longer any danger of falling.

The Gongyuan is located in the west of Luoyi City, occupying a large area of terrain. At this moment, at the gate of the Gongyuan, all six gates are opened, and a team of captains and dragons are lined up neatly, which is magnificent.

However, at any time, the new soldiers tried to squeeze into the line, causing a lot of confusion, but they were immediately escorted out by the patrolling soldiers, and they could only get up again in a gray manner, and obediently line up to the end.

Thousands of well-equipped armor soldiers guarded inside and out, ensuring the order and smoothness of the imperial examination, but even so, Zhang Yuan still saw the front of the team, and for some reason caused a burst of chaos, which has not subsided for a long time.

"You're a shameless pariah!Yes, it's you!" A man who looked like a noble son grinned and patted the scholar's face, "Uncle saw that you were at the top of the line, and he asked for your position, which is a blessing you cultivated in your previous life, understand?"

"You said you ...... You actually rejected me, uncle? Do you know that you have no face?"

"Bang!" he said, slapping the gentleman twice.

The gentleman's face turned red with anger, and he was helplessly pressed by the two sturdy servants, unable to move at all.

Although everyone on the sidelines was angry, no one dared to make a move when they saw that this boy was surrounded by several samurai, all of whom were swordsmans with their swords down, staring at this side.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a green-robed official walked over, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?

Gongzi Guijie smiled, turned his gaze to the official, walked a few steps closer, and sprayed spit on the other party's face, "My son Sima Guang, my father Sima Wen, do you have any opinions?"

"Hmph!" the green-robed official's face turned blue, and he immediately turned around and walked away.

"Hahaha-ha-ha

"Now Ben Gongzi is in first place! I don't enter the door, who dares to enter??"

At the gate of the Gongyuan, in front of many supervisory officials and armor soldiers, Sima Guang laughed so unscrupulously, he liked the appearance that others hated him so much that they wanted to bite him but couldn't do anything.

At this time, at the back of the team, a sneaky, servant man was quietly approaching Zhang Yuan, and when he got some distance closer, he suddenly pounced and tried to hold his legs......

The lines he connected had all been thought of, and the tears were ready, but he was stunned to find that he was hugging empty!

Looking up in a circle, I saw that the target person, Zhang Yuangang, had just left the team and walked towards the gate of the Gongyuan at the front.

Sima Guang stood on the steps and crossed his waist triumphantly: "I'm the first!" ha...... I won't go in, and you won't be able to go in, will you?"

"People have to be reasonable, the first ones didn't enter, and the latter couldn't enter, right?" he tapped his palm with a folding fan: "Oh, this exam time is not long, if you can't catch up...... Tut-tut, how pitiful!"

"Hehe, but this son is not afraid, he can become an official without taking an exam, what can you do with me?" Sima Guang sneered softly, and immediately turned around, facing the gate of the Gongyuan, and put on a golden rooster independent posture......

"Well, if I open the door today, who will dare to enter the door?"

"Bang!" Zhang Yuan approached unhurriedly, but suddenly jumped up and kicked hard on the opponent's ass.

Sima Guang just closed his eyes, hummed and sang, and flew up endlessly, and rushed straight into the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and then an earth-shattering scream came.

Kicked out, Zhang Yuan followed in, looked at the stunned officials, as if nothing had happened, and said expressionlessly: "Search." ”

Only then did someone react, checked his body casually, and hurriedly put it in.

At this time, Sima Guang's entourage reacted and clamored loudly to rush into the tribute courtyard to trouble him. At the same time, an old man in a red robe who seemed to have a very high official character walked out with an angry face, passed by Zhang Yuan, and glanced at him carefully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Zhang Yuan didn't know who the old man was, so he could only stand solemnly, and then saw Sima Guang, who was covered with blood, being carried by two sergeants, one left and one right, followed closely behind the old man, and dragged him out of the door.

Then I heard the old man's voice roaring like a bell......

"Come on! Beat the maniac who messed up the Gongyuan with sixty boards, and the rest of the accomplices dared to gather a crowd to storm the Gongyuan, kill them on the spot, and hang their heads to show the public!"
