Chapter 836: The Battle of the Counties and the Cold Gate
Normal people's bad taste is just idleness, extreme boredom, watching the excitement, squatting on the side of the street, holding a handful of melon seeds, watching aunts and aunts spit on each other, pulling each other's hair, and abusing each other.
But if someone wants to popularize the ins and outs of this excitement to the people who are watching the excitement, maybe some people are interested, but Li Qinzai is not interested.
All he wants to see is a lively scene, quarrels, and brawls, just like watching an ugly popcorn blockbuster, it doesn't matter who of you is good and who is evil, as long as you burn more money when you fight, make more special effects, and fight a wonderful dick, this is enough.
Who thinks about the spiritual core of a popcorn blockbuster? Is that not properly sick?
"You two really don't fight?"
Seeing that the two shook their heads together, Li Qinzai sighed in disappointment and said, "Let's go!" Next time, if you don't break the bloodstream, don't make such a big move, ruining the fun! ”
The shabby young man suddenly stopped him: "I heard that Li Xianhou is the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination, and the student wants to ask Li Xianhou, is the imperial imperial examination recorded according to merit, or is it just a formality, but in fact, the imperial court will still recruit the children of the family?" ”
Li Qinzai stopped and turned to look at him.
Since watching the excitement to the present, this is the first time Li Qinzai has looked at him squarely.
"Why do you say that?" Li Qinzai asked.
The young man pointed to the Guozi prisoner who was arguing with him next to him, and then pointed to himself, and said with a wry smile: "He was born in a poor family, he was born in a family, dare to ask Li Xianhou, if you read the examination papers, will you hire him, or will you be hired below?" ”
"If the court hires him, it can soothe the heart of the family, maintain the peace of the party, and the power of the family can also be used by the court. And hired below, just a child of a poor family, no power, no one and no land, what is the benefit of the court? ”
"Since the Han Dynasty, the temple has taken many family members as officials, and it has been like this for hundreds of years, and what scientific research has been made today, which seems to give hope to the children of the poor family, but I would like to ask below, will the imperial court really take the cold door and use it?"
Li Qinzai seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "So, what you were arguing about just now is this?" ”
The young man hesitated for a moment and nodded: "He said that our poor disciples are studying in the country, if it is only for knowledge, cultivating virtue, and increasing knowledge, it is not impossible, if you want to seek fame, it is still not delusional, and the court is not something that our poor disciples can covet." ”
"I was not angry, so I had a dispute with him."
Li Qinzai suddenly asked, "Respect the name of the high surname?" ”
The young man said, "In Xia Wei Zhenzai, the Songzhou people's clan." ”
Li Qinzai looked at the richly dressed young man again and asked, "What is your name?" ”
The young man also said, "Student Runan County, Yuan Gongwang." ”
Li Qinzai nodded, Runan Yuan, he had heard of it, and most of the countrymen had heard of it.
As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a famous top gate valve, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu during the Three Kingdoms period were all from this family.
Later, the Sima family took the throne, the Yuan family gradually declined, and now the Tang Dynasty, although it is still one of the gate valves, but the power is not as good as before, and it can only be said that the tiger will not fall.
Li Qinzai looked at Yuan Gongwang and said, "The people who have been selected for the scientific expedition are all children of the family, what did you say?" ”
Yuan Gongwang lowered his head and said: "The student lost his words, but in fact, the imperial court has taken scholars for more than ten years, and most of the people who have taken them are children of the family. ”
Li Qinzai's tone was a little cold: "What you said is a disadvantage of the imperial imperial examination, and since it is a disadvantage, the imperial court will slowly correct it." ”
Yuan Gongwang glanced at Li Qinzai in surprise, and then lowered his head again: "Yes, thank you Li County Hou for teaching, the student understands." ”
Li Qinzai ignored him anymore, but turned to look at Wei Zhenzai and said: "You are a student of the country, and you are also a candidate for this subject, what you have to do is to concentrate on learning, instead of arguing with others about meaningless things, it is not easy to study in a poor family, don't you feel that you have failed your parents and yourself if you waste your time on this kind of thing?" ”
Wei Zhenzai bowed down and said, "The student knows his mistake, thank you Li Xianhou for your order." ”
Li Qinzai paused, and then said: "The imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty, and it flourished in the self-dynasty, and there is no one who can accomplish things in the world overnight. ”
"You want justice, there are people in the court who are running for the word 'justice', things are developing in a good direction after all, have hope, improve yourself, and God will not disappoint the hard-working people."
Wei Zhenzai said, "The students have been taught. However, the students heard that there are many bad rumors in Chang'an City now, saying that the current science is still the same as in previous years, only taking children from the family, and many students from poor families are disheartened and have packed their bags and returned to their hometowns......
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, and said: "After all, the opportunity is reserved for those who have hope and refuse to give up, in life, every calamity needs to be crossed by themselves, and those who leave early can only say that their minds are not strong, they can't get through this calamity, and they can't complain about others." ”
Patting Wei Jinjae on the shoulder, Li Qinzai turned to leave.
Wei Zhenzai stared at Li Qinzai's back, and suddenly said loudly: "Li Xianhou, the student's name is Wei Zhenzai, the Jinshi of this department must have the student's name, and when the gold list is inscribed, the student will visit Li Xianhou again." ”
Li Qinzai turned around and looked at him deeply, and smiled: "Okay, I remember you, the cold house has prepared fine wine, waiting for your gold list title, drink with you." ”
Wei Zhenzai bowed again, then turned his head to stare at Yuan Gongwang, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely go to high school for the exam of this subject, I don't believe in fate!" ”
Yuan Gongwang also stared at him without showing weakness: "How can the way of heaven be violated? If you don't believe in fate, you still have to accept fate. We have accumulated for thousands of years, and countless ancestors have been burdened, why should we make way for your poor children? ”
Wei Zhenzai gritted his teeth and said: "The way of heaven is fighting, not peace." Today's cold door is not tomorrow's county hope, you and I will wait and see! ”
…………
Li Qinzai returned to the British mansion and went into the backyard to meet his father and mother first.
Li Siwen is now transferred back to Chang'an to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Officials, and he has to be in charge of the government every day, and there is only his mother Cui at home.
After Li Qinzai entered the door, he saw Cui Shi sitting in the room, and in front of her, Li Siwen's concubine Zhao Daoyun was standing respectfully.
Cui's face was expressionless, and he was talking to Zhao Daoyun about the input expenses in the house, and every time Cui said a word, Zhao Daoyun respectfully responded, both in attitude and performance, it was impeccable.
Seeing Li Qinzai coming in, Cui finally smiled, and Zhao Daoyun also greeted Li Qinzai, Li Qinzai smiled unsavoryly, and Zhao Daoyun retired with interest.
"Don't say anything in advance when you come back, I'll ask the chef in the house to prepare some of your favorite dishes for you."
Cui Shi lovingly dusted Li Qinzai's shoulder, obviously the clothes on his body were very clean, but Cui Shi still kept dusting the motion, as if his son had just rolled back in the mud outside.
Li Qinzai bent his knees slightly, deliberately lowering his body so that Cui's could reach his shoulders.
"Why should the child go back to his own house in advance, he will eat whatever he has at home, if the mother thinks that the dishes made by the cook at home are not authentic, how about the child cook a few dishes for you?"
Cui Shi smiled: "My son is already a county marquis, how can a daughter have the truth of cooking in person, and he is not afraid of people's jokes when he spreads it." ”
"The child is filial piety in front of his father, who dares to laugh at the child and set his house on fire in the middle of the night."
Cui Shi was so angry that he smacked him hard: "Say bastard words again!" How many houses have you ordered over the years? ”
Li Qinzai seemed to have been greatly wronged: "In addition to the Taiyuan royal family, the Tubo camp, and my old father-in-law, Teng Wangfu, whose house did the child order?" Mother can't wronged the child, I have always been an honest person who does my duty! ”
