Chapter 44: Examination
Dakang, Jingtai 27th year, February 16.
This day is the day when the examination of the Great Kang Dynasty begins.
Liang Hong took a carriage and came to the gate of the Jingshi City Tribute Academy, which was the examination room for this examination.
In the examination of the Great Kang Dynasty, the first test is to take the test for four consecutive days, and the eight shares, policy theory, and postscripture are examined.
Liang Hong got down from the carriage, in fact, there were many people who came to see Liang Hong to participate in the examination, and the other two carriages also got people down, one was Liang Hong's mother Xu, and the other was Liang Hong's seventh uncle - Liang Jin.
After they all got out of the carriage, the Gongyuan had not yet opened, and the time for the test had not yet arrived, but at this time, many people from the Dakang Dynasty had gathered at the gate.
"Brother Hong, how do you feel?" Liang Jin looked at Liang Hong with some apprehension and asked, after all, with his understanding of Liang Hong, Liang Hong has already failed to be selected twice.
This time, although it was Liang Hong who won the quota of His Majesty's reward, Liang Jin was still very worried in his heart, and then thought about the consequences, if Liang Hong was not admitted to the Jinshi and could not enter the officialdom, then this huge family business, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold it for a long time.
Liang Hong understood Liang Jin's worries, so he was relieved: "Don't worry, I know in my own heart, Jinshi will definitely be able to pass the exam, and I don't want to be among the best, but I won't fall off the list." ”
Seeing that her son was so confident at this time, Liang's mother also cheered up: "Son, believe in you for your mother!" ”
Liang Hong nodded, his eyes began to wander outside the examination room, and after looking around, he didn't see the person he wanted to see - Xu Miaoya.
After Yaya was picked up by his father Xu Gelao, he never saw him again, and he also went to Xu's mansion, went to the door of the central guard, and went to deliver a message to Xu Miaoya, but all he got was the words from Xu Miaoya: "Jinshi and the first, the day of meeting." ”
"Jinshi and the first, the day of meeting." Liang Hong stood beside the carriage in the examination room, muttering softly in his mouth.
And at this moment, his eyes were still roaming outside the examination room, hoping to see the woman he liked coming, even if he looked at it from a distance, he could comfort his lovesickness.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar carriage driving to the other end of the door of the examination room, and Liang Hong couldn't help but get excited in his heart: "Yaya, you are still here!" ”
Then, the carriage did not get down, but someone inside lifted the curtain, and Liang Hong saw the person he had been longing for.
Then the curtain came down again, and after a while, the coachman of the carriage walked here, Liang Hong knew that he wanted to bring a message to himself at this time, Liang Hong hurriedly walked over, and in a quiet position, Liang Hong asked: "Miss Xu, but you are asked to bring a message?" ”
The horseman hurriedly bowed to Liang Hong, and then said: "My girl asked me to bring a message to my son, and I have to take a good test in the field, and the concubine is only waiting for my son's triumph, and that is the time to join Honglang's family." ”
When Liang Hong heard this, his heart was warm, so he said to the coachman: "Please tell Miss Xu that Liang will be able to win the Jinshi, and then it will be the day to marry Yaya!" ”
When Liang Hong returned to his carriage here, when he looked back, Xu Miaoya's carriage had already driven away.
At this time, Liang Hong's heart is more confident, not only for the future, but also for his own love, there is nothing to say, he will definitely win the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and live up to it!
And at this moment, the door of the Gongyuan finally opened, and more than a dozen yacha came out of it, and then stood in line, one of them was the leader, and at this time, he shouted to the many lifters outside the examination room: "This time the exam, the exam!" ”
Then the candidates walked over one after another and automatically lined up.
Liang Hong naturally walked over, and said to his mother and Liang Jin before he went: "Don't worry, go back!" ”
Liang Hong kicked the food basket with one hand, this food basket is the four days of this exam, the food he prepared, yes, the exam for four days in a row, whether it is the government exam, the hospital exam, or the township exam, the meeting exam, a few days of the exam, you have to prepare your own food.
Only drinking water, stoves, and clay pots for hot meals are provided.
Liang Hong lined up, and then entered the examination room, which was a single room, and each candidate had a single room.
Liang Hong entered his own single room, fortunately, this single room is not a "stinky number", the meaning of the stinky number is that the single room is just opposite the toilet, smelling the smell, writing rolls, the taste ~ very sour ~~
Liang Hong sat down in the private room, put out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and waited for the yacha to come over to put the exam questions and papers......
Just when Liang Hong was answering the test sheet in the examination room of the Beijing Normal City Association, in Jinzhou, Liaodong Province, Wuzhen had been besieging Jinzhou for more than half a month.
The city of Jinzhou is already exhausted, and the grain and grass are about to run out, but the provincial capital of Shenyang has not yet come to reinforce the city, Jinzhou is now in danger, and the morale of the soldiers has been extremely low, and is on the verge of collapse.
Liaodong, Shenyang City.
Liaodong General Military Office.
"Dashuai, Jinzhou is now in danger! If you don't rescue again, I'm afraid you will lose the city! A military general said to Wu Keshi, the general of Liaodong.
"Dashuai, Jinzhou is about to be outprotected!" Someone else is persuading the general soldiers.
Looking at the more than a dozen generals under his command standing in the hall, Wu Keshi, the chief military officer of Liaodong, suddenly let out a long sigh, and finally took out an official document from his arms and handed it to the generals in front of him for them to read.
These generals, after opening and reading back and forth, were all shocked, even with indignation, a military general couldn't bear his temperament, and said:
"Dashuai, this is the approval of the governor, let us stay still, but Dashuai Jinzhou has been besieged for more than half a month, Dashuai can hand over the excerpt to the Beijing Division, isn't the court Gonggong Zhugong ready to rescue Jinzhou?"
"What you can imagine, how can Ben Shuai not think of it?" Wu Keshi sighed, "It's just the imperial court...... There is no silver in the imperial court, and even the silver we opened can't be scraped together! ”
"Impossible, right?" One of the generals was surprised.
Looking at the room full of his own generals, Wu Keshi finally didn't want to hide it from them, and directly explained the situation in the capital division.
"In short, Jingshi City is now in the stage of party struggle, and the former secondary auxiliary party members and the former first auxiliary party members have become a pot of porridge, and even the current two cabinet elders have also participated.
The emperor, taking advantage of the fact that the ministers were all fighting in the party and had no intention of caring about anything else, transported most of the money in the treasury to the inner treasury and became the emperor's private property for alchemy and immortal cultivation. ”
"So, don't you want this Dakang country?" A military general said indignantly, "Is it the importance of his Tian family's country or the ethereal so-called immortal cultivation that is important, can't you tell the difference?" ”
As soon as he said this, the generals around him turned pale one after another, and they all shouted and persuaded:
"Be careful!"
