Thinking of this, he bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the polished armrest of the bed, and suddenly felt good.

Since some people scolded him for being a living Hades who did everything, then he took the all-encompassing actions of the Internal Guard Division to the extreme.

On March 26, the sixteenth year of Yong'an, the blue sky was like washing, the sun was clear, and the city of Chang'an was a bright spring.

The bloody qi that had been entrenched in Chang'an City for several days seemed to dissipate overnight on this day.

This is the first night, Jingzhao Mansion took the officials of Wannian County and Chang'an County to clean the water and splash the streets overnight, and the loess pads the ground.

Today is the day when the provincial examination examiners enter the curtain, the provincial examination examiners are more than the township examination, there are four chief examiners and eighteen examiners with the same examiner, and there are supervisors, promotions, monitoring and other officials, as for the guard of the examination room, there is the Beiya forbidden army to serve.

As soon as the morning bell rang that day, a group of Beiya forbidden troops rushed out of the palace and went straight to the mansion of the officials on the list of provincial examiners.

This list has just been issued today, and it has always been the case for the triennial Spring Festival, and the examiners and examiners of the provincial examination, as well as the officials of the internal and external curtains, will not be revealed in advance, in order to prevent the occurrence of malpractice.

The four chief examiners of Chunfu have always been bachelors from Jinshi, below the rank of Shangshu, and officials above the deputy imperial envoy, while the eighteen examiners with the same examiner are mostly filled by Hanlin.

As soon as the list of examiners was announced, the city was in an uproar.

The eighteen same examiners are all from Hanlin, which is expected, this dynasty emphasizes literature and light martial arts, and there are many talents in the Hanlin Academy, and the many people are about to break the rules of the ancestors, and it is not difficult to select eighteen people to be the same examiners.

But the four examiners were shocked and surprised.

The four examiners have always been one and three deputies, and most of them are well-educated people, and at most only one important minister of the court and the central government is selected, but this time, the chief examiner among the examiners is Jiang Gelao, who is the secretary of the Zhongshu Ling, and the other three are Wang Jingzong, Mu Rongshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ruan Ping'an, the waiter of the Criminal Department.

Needless to say, Jiang Shen, the head of the civil service, has always been a famous man and a great Confucian, and his protégés are all over the world.

And Wang Jingzong just passed the year of his establishment, and he was the famous singer of the Jinluan Hall in Yong'an for ten years, and the royal horse parade street, and went to the Qujiang banquet.

As for Ruan Ping'an, it was the same year as Wang Jingzong, and he was the first in the second class on the list that year, which is a very high ranking, second only to Tanhualang.

These three people are well deserved to serve as the chief examiners of Chunfu, and as for Mu Rongxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is a bit of a thing that makes people shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Mu Rongshu was already over forty years old, in the first year of Yong'an, the troubled times were peaceful, and the imperial court was in urgent need of talents.

Therefore, when people in the world talk about the spring of the first year of Yong'an, they will joke about it: "Walking on Shiman Street, Gongsheng is not as good as a dog." ”

And Mu Rongtong was the one of the three hundred and one in the provincial examination that year.

This ranking is both luck and embarrassment, if it weren't for the fact that the saint first ascended to the world, too many officials died in chaos in a few years, and there was no one available in the court for a while, and he would not have won so many jinshi, then Mu Rongyan's ranking would definitely be nameless on the list, and he wouldn't even be able to get a fellow jinshi.

It is not very hurtful and insulting for such a person to be the chief examiner

It's very strong.

Looking at these examiners, the lifters were shocked, how can they hug such thick legs!!

What considerations did Emperor Yong'an have for choosing these four people as the chief examiners, it is not known, in short, it is the will, these courtiers are dressed in various official uniforms, holding their own simple clothes, escorted by the Beiya Forbidden Army, set off by drums and honor guards, and walked into the gate of the Tribute Academy.

After the examiners entered the Tribute Academy, they could not leave until the end of the marking and the results were presented to Emperor Yong'an, during which they had to experience nearly 20 days in the Tribute Academy.

Watching Jiang Shen tremble into the Tribute Courtyard, some people were surprised to think, Jiang Ge is so old that he can endure the hardships of the Tribute Academy, don't be a sage who sees him as an eyesore, so he is sent to the Tribute Courtyard to suffer.

The people gathered outside the tribute courtyard, and the group of people who saw the hao hao soup enter the tribute courtyard left unsatisfied.

Bao Cheng, as a prisoner of Guozijian, is also going to participate in this year's Spring Festival, but if he doesn't take the exam, he doesn't know it.

After watching the excitement, he walked back to Baofu in Yiyangfang.

There are two people in Bao Mansion who are going to participate in the Spring Festival this year, one is Bao Cheng and the other is his brother Bao Chi.

The two of them are twins, but they are born black and white, their appearance is very different, and they are not the same in terms of life and learning.

Bao Cheng dozed off when he saw the words, but he was never a bastard, he couldn't do anything that hurt nature, and he was even a little timid and introverted, and rarely interacted with people in the house.

And his brother Bao Chi is just the opposite, he is very knowledgeable, and he is also studying in Guozijian, unlike Bao Cheng, who is the bottom of every ten monthly exams, he is the top of the list and is a popular candidate in this spring.

Bao Chi is extremely lustful, adhering to the saying that she is beautiful and delicious, the maidservants around him are all beautiful, and most of the maids in Bao Mansion who are a little beautiful have also been touched by him.

However, this kind of thing is not a big deal in the eyes of the world, at most it is just a joke that "Wuling young people are more romantic".

The courtyard where Bao Cheng lives is in the northwest corner of Bao Mansion, and the end is cold in winter and hot in summer, which is the best place for the head cantilever beam and the cone to pierce the stock.

He didn't care about the harsh treatment of food and housing, and there was no small servant to follow him when he went in and out, so he lived a free life.

When passing by the main house, Master Bao's personal servant chased him out, called Bao Cheng, and told him that the master wanted to see him.

Bao Cheng was very surprised, his cheap dad didn't like to see his face, and he also knew that he didn't want to be seen, except for the necessary etiquette during the New Year's Day, he basically didn't show up in front of this cheap daddy.

Or in addition to paying monthly money every month, his father basically thinks that this son does not exist.

Bao Cheng is actually very satisfied with the current state, it is not easy to show up if he meets less, after all, he has only been through the past two years, there are too many flaws, and if someone pays a little attention, he will show his stuffing, and if he can't keep it, he will be burned as a demon and a monster.

This time, when he heard that Cheap Daddy wanted to see him, he was a little uneasy.

Bao Cheng followed the little girl into the main house, the morning sun sprinkled in the courtyard, and the two plane trees in front of the court were already covered with green shade.

To say that the Bao family is also a family, although it is not a Zhong Ding family, but it is also a family of cultivators and heirlooms, and there has been a term of five products in Beijing

Official's.

It's a pity that later the nephew was not filial, and there was no more powerful official than the five products, so he changed his career and started a business, but the foundation of the poetry and book family is still there, and the house is full of elegance and exquisiteness, and luxury is also quiet, unlike ordinary merchants, no matter what you do, you must first show the word "expensive".

Bao Cheng didn't come to the main house many times, but every time he came, he remembered a sentence.

Understated luxury.

In the main room, it should have just been used for morning food, and there was still some smell of food, and the light smoke swirled on the Boshan stove, and the smell of incense was slightly faint, which did not completely offset the smell of the meal.

He stood in the sunlight and looked up to see his cheap dad sitting on top and his cheap brother sitting down on his head.

He was a little surprised, the provincial examination examiner entered the curtain today, and he thought that his cheap brother was going to see the excitement.

He made a perfunctory salute, and called his brother perfunctorily, and without waiting for Master Bao to speak, he took off his robe and sat down.

Bao Chi couldn't get used to Bao Cheng's appearance, frowned and reprimanded: "The elders haven't given a seat yet, you just sit down, where did you learn the rules!" ”

Bao Cheng sighed and stood up with an innocent face: "It turns out that the father doesn't let his son sit, it's okay, the son is standing." ”

This one sits and one stands, one white and one black, Master Bao only felt that it was dazzling, waved his hand, and looked disgusted: "Okay, sit down, what are you pretending to do?" ”

Bao Cheng laughed twice and sat back down with a big grin.

Master Bao looked at these two sons who looked and had very different temperaments, and always had a feeling that he was being cuckolded, although more than 20 years ago, this green hat was confirmed to be a false child, but he still couldn't see the black second son like charcoal.

He took a breath and tried to make his tone sound calm and gentle: "Seeing that you are about to enter the Tribute Academy, how is your book?" ”

Bao Chi hurriedly arched his hand: "Father, son must go all out." As he spoke, he turned his head to glance at Bao Cheng.

Bao Cheng also followed the casual arching of his hand, obviously having no confidence: "My son does his best." ”

Master Bao's heart choked, and he said: "It takes three days to go to the Gongyuan for an exam, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, clothes, bedding, and food, but you have all prepared it?" ”

Bao Chi hurriedly arched his hand again, respectfully: "Father, mother has already prepared for her son, father rest assured." ”

Bao Cheng snorted, he is really a mother who is not kissed, his father is not loved, the boss has a mother who is preparing for the examination basket, but he doesn't even know what to put in the examination basket.

He thought about it again, knowing what the use of these is, he still lacks arms and legs even to write a traditional Chinese character, and he has to even guess and be blind to reading an ancient text, even if he takes a living champion Lang in, I am afraid that he will be the life of handing over the white scroll.

Thinking of this, he was immediately relieved.

Master Bao didn't look at Bao Cheng, he only looked at Bao Chi fixedly, and nodded with satisfaction: "My son is ambitious, and he will definitely be able to title the gold list and shine on the lintel." ”

Bao Cheng listened to these vain pre-exam mobilizations, and only felt that he had returned to the senior year of high school in his previous life in a trance, and the "three-year mock five-year college entrance examination" he had done came to his face, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Why can't he escape the exam after all of them, it's so difficult to be a gentleman!!
