Brother 259 - Go to the exam

On the day he returned to Luoyang, Gao Cheng went to Huangfu's house to talk to Duan Shao.

Xiao Gaowang came to the door to save the pure just to match the family, and did not call his future cousin-in-law out to meet, so as to challenge his weakness.

However, things are going well, although the people of the Huangfu family thought that Gao Cheng was courting for himself at first, after all, he didn't do this kind of thing.

After the misunderstanding is resolved, it is still necessary to get off this family business, and it is true that marrying into the Duan family can only be a concubine, but this family business is matched by Gao Cheng, and after entering the Duan Mansion, the wife must also let the Huangfu family score three points.

Even Aunt Yuanqu is Gao Huan Zhang Luo's marriage, but the future belongs to Xiao Gao Wang.

The family affair was ordered, and Gao Cheng only ordered someone to report to the Tiger Prison, leaving the Huangfu clan behind:

No matter how beautiful this woman is, can she still be more beautiful than the three Yuan family girls in her inner house?

Instead, prepare for the upcoming Beijing trial.

Wang Xi has been in Luoyang for a long time, and at this time he is living in the mansion of his eldest brother Wang Xin to polish his strategy.

The policy of this section is a semi-open secret, and even the literati of Kansai and Jiangdong know that Gao Cheng wants to ask for reform.

In the past half a year, Cui Zhen has visited various places, and Wang Xi has not done it behind closed doors.

He has heard a lot about Cui Zhen's deeds, and even overheard the eldest brother Wang Xin and the second brother Wang Hui talking.

They all think that the first place in this year's classic course is afraid that it will fall on Cui Zhen's head.

This made Wang Xi very unconvinced, even if Cui Zhen had the achievements of governing a state, in terms of real talent and learning, in Wang Xi's opinion, he was by no means inferior to others.

But I can understand why the two brothers think like this.

Many people speculate that as long as Cui Gan's strategy is in line with Gao Cheng's intentions, Xiao Gao Wang will definitely make Cui Zhen the leader of the classic department, so as to fulfill the reputation of saving his father through the imperial examination.

Since the Han Dynasty, the drama of Ming Jun being moved by filial piety has been staged repeatedly.

And with Cui Gan's ability, after traveling for half a year, he will not be unable to come up with a wonderful strategy anyway.

Of course, if you are not angry, even if you can't win the first place, you always have to fight for a top ten.

Gao Cheng has announced the arrangements corresponding to the results of the Beijing examination, admitting 60 people in each subject, a total of 300 officials in the five subjects, and a total of 50 people in the top ten in each subject will stay in Luoyang, and they will be officially awarded the official position in the six departments of Shangshu Province.

The remaining 250 people were sent to various counties to observe the government, and they were also officially awarded a year later.

During the period of observing the government, all the money was issued according to the standard of the county order, and at the end of the period of observing the government, the former was awarded to the Beijing official, and the latter was awarded to the local official.

The so-called observation of politics, that is, the internship period, although there are many abandoned officials among the candidates, it is not that they are ignorant of political affairs, but there are always new officials in the officialdom.

It's not bad to be a Beijing official in Luoyang, even if you have a low eye and a low master, and you don't live up to your name, you can't make much of a mess.

If it is sent to a local place to serve as a county commander, it will be the people of the county who will be harmed, so you have to be cautious.

During the one-year period of observing politics, I can always learn a lot.

The last day of March in the eighth year of Taichang (539).

Before dawn, Yinqing Guanglu doctor Wang Xin and Zhongshu Wang Hui sent his younger brother Wang Xi to the exam.

During this time, the two of them discussed detailed strategies and suggestions for Wang Xi together, and believed that even if they couldn't win the top spot, it would not be a problem to win the top ten and stay in Luoyang.

That's right, that's the biggest problem with this expedition.

Gao Cheng tried to ask the candidates for advice with the imperial examination policy, but he thought that it was difficult to have a good plan in a hurry, so with his acquiescence and even fueling the trouble, the purpose of this session of policy questions was semi-public.

And this also means that a policy may not be the work of one person, but the result of collective efforts.

It can be said that there will be gains and losses, but to be specific, even if you only get a reform measure that is effective and beneficial to the country and the people, the gains outweigh the losses.

After all, if you can go to the Beijing test, you will not be bad at learning.

Of course, this session is a special case, and Gao Cheng is too eager to ask for reform.

Wang Xi, accompanied by his two brothers, rushed to the examination institute, and Cui Zhen, who had the highest demand for winning the classic subject this time, was already waiting outside the gate of the examination institute accompanied by his family.

The younger sister Cui Niang was among them, and the concubine Feng was not allowed to leave the house because of the guilt.

Cui Zhen looked calm, but his hands in his sleeves were still trembling uncontrollably.

His pressure is too great, and for others, the field is frustrated, but it will only wait another three years.

But what Cui Zhen is facing is that his father Cui Yong was sentenced to death, and even he himself will be implicated and become a criminal dependent, and he will not be able to turn over within three generations.

Since the Cui Ling incident, Cui Zhen has been angry with his father in his heart.

Your old mouth is really itchy, you go to scold the Son of Heaven, you really want to spray the general, just say that he is lustful, but what do you say, 'Is the yellow jaw child worthy of a heavy responsibility'.

Cui Zhen can understand why Gao Cheng rectified Cui Ning, as the heir of the Gao family, but was questioned whether he had the ability to inherit the great cause, who could bear it.

But the matter has come to this point, and no amount of complaints can be undone, but fortunately, Gao Cheng opened up and gave him a chance to remedy.

"Son, I see the general."

Cui Niang leaned over to Cui Zhen and said softly.

Cui Jian came back to his senses, followed Cui Niang's gaze, and saw a window open on the third floor of a teahouse not far away, and a handsome young man stood at the window, and there was a crowd of people behind him, thinking that he was a guard.

Gao Cheng saw Cui Niang in the crowd at a glance, the baby fat face was still so eye-catching, and the person next to Cui Niang who was about the same age as him must be Cui Zhen.

Cui Zhen's eyes looked over, Gao Cheng smiled and bowed slightly to show encouragement, and then turned his eyes to look at the rest of the candidates waiting in the room.

Today, he led a group of guards to occupy a three-story teahouse outside the examination room early, just to see the talents in his urn in advance.

When the three brothers of the Wang family came to the examination room, Gao Cheng could guess that this was the first person to contribute to the change of Qianming in the future, assisting Gao Yan to seize power in the coup d'état in Beijing and finally proclaim the emperor.

Gao Cheng didn't have anything to do with Wang Xi, after all, it was not his son who was robbed of the throne, Gao Yang was the victim.

Through the previous review of the roster, Gao Cheng still found many historical celebrities, in addition to Cui Zhen and Wang Xi, the most eye-catching thing for Gao Cheng is Zu Ting, a native of Fanyang.

Zu Ting is from Fan Yang Zu's family, his father has a little reputation, and the "Ying" in the "Three Character Classic" "Ying is eight years old and can sing poetry" refers to Zu Ting's father, Zu Ying.

Zu Ying died four years ago, that is, in the fourth year of Taichang (539), posthumously presented Zuo Servant, Situ Gong, and Jizhou Assassin History.

Backed by such a father, Zu Ting started as a secretary, and then moved to a secretary, led the middle scholar, and later served in the Gao Huan shogunate, and had a good relationship with Chen Yuankang.

It's just that he was dismissed the year before last because of something, and Chen Yuankang recommended him to go to Luoyang to serve Gao Cheng, but after Zu Ting learned that Gao Cheng was implementing the imperial examination, for some reason, he decided to go back to Fanyang's hometown to prepare for the exam.

Standing at the window of the teahouse and looking at it for a long time, Gao Cheng didn't recognize who Zu Ting was after all, which is normal, after all, Zu Ting is not blind now.
