After the lively wind and dust, the old patriarch pulled Huang Tinghui and talked for a while.

However, the old patriarch has always been a person who understands measure, so he finished chatting about family life.

gave the rest of the time to his cousin, Huang Tinghui's mentor Li Baichong.

"Teacher!" Huang Tinghui said to his mentor Li Baichong, who was sitting in front of him.

"Hmm!" Li Baichong nodded, and he waved his hand to signal Huang Tinghui to sit down, "You and I, master and apprentice, don't be so formal!" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

After saying this, Li Baichong covered his mouth and coughed several times.

"Teacher's illness!" Huang Tinghui looked at Li Baichong with worry, since the disaster of the bandits.

Huang Tinghui's mentor Li Baichong fell ill, after all, although Huang Tinghui used the tripe to save people, Li Baichong was rescued.

But inevitably, Li Baichong's vitality was damaged, and his body was irreversibly difficult to recover.

In the face of this situation, even the little girl with increasingly sophisticated medical skills is helpless.

As for how long Li Baichong can last, everything depends on Li Baichong's own fate.

However, not dying under the random knife of the pirates is, to a certain extent, Li Baichong's luck.

"It's out of the way, it's just a little problem!"

"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, I can live to this age, I can be lifted, I can become a gentleman, I can have a disciple like you!"

"It's already a blessing!"

"What more could I not be satisfied with?" Li Baichong laughed twice, but this laughter fell on Huang Tinghui's ears.

But it made Huang Tinghui particularly sad.

Li Baichong is a smart person, and he can see the subtle fluctuations in Huang Tinghui's mood at a glance.

So he quickly changed the topic, "Tinghui, do you know why I kept you?" ”

"Sir, do you want to talk about the Spring Festival?" In Huang Tinghui's mind, an answer immediately emerged.

"Yes and no!" Li Baichong replied.

"You should also know the so-called spring puppet!"

"The scholars of the state capitals who can quote and take the test will meet in one place to test science and art."

"It is presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the examination is held in Beijing."

"The test will be held in the Gongyuan in the southeast of the inner city of the capital."

"The chief examiner of the examination is called the president, and the bachelor who was born as a jinshi, and the officials above the deputy capital of the imperial history below the scholar are invited by the ministry to fill it."

"The specifications are strict, and they are even more than the township test!" Although Li Baichong also knew that Huang Tinghui knew these things, he was still like a tireless parent, and he talked to Huang Tinghui again.

After talking for a while, Li Baichong picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and he continued: "The content of the exam is heavy on scriptures and righteousness, and light on poetry. In February and March of the following year, the prefectures and townships entered Beijing to participate in the examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Those who have not been selected in the previous sessions of the examination can also take the examination together."

"Will try to take the middle of the Gongshi is also known as the Chinese Jinshi, the first name is "Huiyuan". ”

"The number of places to be admitted is uncertain,

"There was no quota in the previous dynasty, and each subject ranged from more than 100 to 2 or 300 students, the largest one was in the eighth year of Zhao Renzong, and 406 students were admitted, and the least one was in the fifty-fourth year of Zhao Suzong, and a total of 96 students were admitted. The number of places to be admitted to each state is determined by the number of candidates and the size and population of the state capital. ”

"However, the number of admissions in this dynasty has rarely changed much, about 300 students, and they are admitted in proportion to the south, north and middle three regions."

"After the results of the examination are announced, the Chinese-style ones will take the palace examination next month."

There are also 18 examiners in the same place, most of whom are served by Hanlin. The procedures for sealing, transcription, proofreading, marking, and filling in the list during the examination are the same as those for the township examination. Those who participate in the examination should be re-examined first, and those who are far from the road can be re-examined after the examination. ”

"The examination will be held in three sessions, one on three days, the first on the ninth day of the first month, the second on the twelfth day, and the third on the fifteenth.

"The three-site test project, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, is the same as the township test."

"These are all Tinghui, you are good at, there shouldn't be much of a problem for you!"

"After all, our Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are one of the most developed state capitals in the imperial examination of Dasheng State, and you are the first in the township examination of my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansions.

"As a teacher, I am very relieved of you and confident in you!" Li Baichong's eyes were attentive, and he looked at Huang Tinghui with great appreciation.

"The teacher praised it falsely!" Huang Tinghui hurriedly said.

Li Baichong waved his hand when he heard Huang Tinghui's words: "Don't be modest, you and I are a master and apprentice!" ”

"As a teacher, I know you best!!"

"What level are you, what are your abilities, and how can I not know as a teacher?"

"But I do have other things to look for you than the Spring Season!"

"I have some old acquaintances in the capital, these are letters to my old acquaintances, and after the Dao Hall test is over, you will hand over these letters to my old friends!" Li Baichong looked at Huang Tinghui and asked.

After speaking, Li Baichong handed the letters he had written a long time ago to Huang Tinghui.

As for Huang Tinghui, he also put away these letters, "Don't worry, teacher, Tinghui will definitely remember it!" ”

"Don't open it before the temple exam, some of these people are in important positions, if you go up at this time to make friends."

"Maybe it will be bad for your imperial examination!"

"Wait until after the palace test, it's not too late to give it to them!"

Li Baichong was a shrewd man, and he remembered that something similar had happened in the history of the imperial examination of the Dasheng Kingdom.

And a scholar who was full of wealth went to meet an important official in charge of the imperial examination.

In the end, he was implicated and could never participate in the imperial examination.

In the end, this person was only appointed by the imperial court as a small official, and there was no chance to turn over.

Something like this, Huang Tinghui may not have thought it through.

But as Huang Tinghui's teacher, Li Baichong naturally had to think carefully about his most proud disciple.

"Remember, students!" Huang Tinghui replied again.

"Hmm!"

"Tinghui, before this test, are you going to go to Datong Town?"

Hearing Li Baichong's question, Huang Tinghui also answered truthfully, "Yes, teacher!" ”

"Before participating in the township test, the prefect left Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mansion ahead of schedule!"

"Before leaving, he sent someone to find me and asked me to go to Datong Town to have a look after the township test!"

"Go and see what those steppe barbarians are like!"

Although the prefect Wang Mingyang was transferred to Datong Town, it became the last barrier of the Gongwei Jingshi.

However, most of the soldiers and horses in charge of the northern region and the defense of the steppe barbarians to the south were controlled by Wang Mingyang.

And this is also the compromise reached by Zhang Julu, the first auxiliary minister, and some important ministers in the court to fight on the basis of reason.

After all, as a capable official, he may be insulated from the cabinet from now on.

Isn't there anything to compensate?

Fortunately, Wang Mingyang doesn't seem to particularly mind this.

"Lord Wang!"

"He values you very much, and he values you very much, it seems that he intends to train you!"

"I know that Lord Wang is an absolute pragmatist, so if you follow him, I can rest assured!"

"It's also a good thing to walk around and see more on the frontier of my Dasheng country!"

"There is an old saying that is particularly true, it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles!"

"The teacher regretted that he didn't walk more when he was young!"
