"Uncle, relying on daytime's strategy alone, you will never be able to win against Xiao Rui. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Rui has long known about the government-run academy buying students. Even all our designs are under Xiao Rui's control. ”

What???

Wang Si asked in surprise, "How is this possible?" Are you saying that among our five surnames and seven hopes, there is Xiao Rui's hidden pile? ”

Wang Jishan smiled, "There are as many county governments as there are government academies in Datang, and we buy students in every academy, so why do we need to hide the stakes?" can't hide Xiao Rui's eyes at all. If he dares to announce that he will fight us next year, it shows that he is not afraid of our trick and is sure of victory. ”

Hiss......

"It's so important, why don't you remind it during the day? In that case, why do we need to spend time and effort planning? Wang Si was puzzled.

Wang Jishan said with a deep look in his eyes: "If you don't plan in the open, how can you attract Xiao Rui's attention, and then we can plan secretly?" ”

Oh? So, do you really have a strategy to break the enemy?

Wang Jishan shook his head, "In the face of Xiao Rui, who has no defeat, no one dares to say victory." But after two years of retreat, my nephew learned to get along with each other in a long way, what would I do if I were Xiao Rui? ”

Wang Si stared at each other curiously, waiting for the following.

"Xiao Rui doesn't like to use conspiracy, he prefers upright conspiracy, all the strategies are placed in front of you, and the general trend of Huanghuang is used to suppress people. This is true for dealing with the Turks, and it is also true for dealing with Buddhism. So according to my calculations, he will still be like this in this imperial examination. ”

"But the problem is that the imperial examination is different from others, we have inherited it for thousands of years, and if we pull out a child of the clan, the knowledge is stronger than those mud legs. In the imperial examination, we have a natural advantage, even if Xiao Rui is a god, he can't change it. ”

Wang Si nodded: "Yes, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, no matter how the dynasty changes, it is always us who can shepherd and guard the people. Even if ordinary people want to be officials, it is also an illusion that they are illiterate. ”

"Until the former Sui Emperor Yang Guang, in order to break the advantages of our family valves, he abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and changed it to the imperial examination. But even so, it is difficult for ordinary people to read and write, and we have never been afraid. Even the imperial examination every year is still firmly grasped by our people, and it is no different from the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. It's the same when it comes to Datang. ”

"Until the appearance of Xiao Rui, this person was far-sighted and saw through the mystery, so he proposed to run a government-run school, so that everyone can read and read, so that the gap between civilians and us is getting smaller and smaller, and in the future in the imperial examination room, who will win or lose, but it is really difficult to say. According to our calculations, in 20 years, 50 years, we will be defeated without a fight. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that he Xiao Rui would be so eager for quick success, and in just three years, he couldn't bear to come out."

Wang Jishan nodded and said, "Not bad." I don't know why he did this, but I can speculate that he must have had an unknown purpose. ”

"Let's not care about this, as long as we calculate that we don't let him take advantage of the imperial examination room." Wang Si reminded, "Tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Jishan looked at the southwest with his eyes, as if he could see Xiao Rui in the air, and said in a firm tone: "If I guessed correctly, this imperial examination, he has to make a fuss about the examination questions." ”

Questions?

Wang Si pondered for a moment and shook his head, "The imperial court has a mature system for the imperial examination, but no one can tamper with it at will. And no matter how much the exam questions are changed, the level of the candidates is certain, and he will eventually have to rely on those students from the government-run schools to deal with it. ”

"How much can those mud-legged people learn in three years? They will, and our people will, so it doesn't seem pointy to do anything about the exam questions. ”

To put it bluntly, Wang Si doesn't believe in this very much.

Wang Jishan didn't explain, but his intuition told him that it must be the case.

"If he does something specifically, my nephew can't guess it, but it must be an exam question, and he will definitely not take the test according to the routine of previous years, so as to weaken our advantage. I'm sure I can't be wrong! ”

Wang Si asked curiously, "How are you sure?" ”

Wang Jishan shook his head, "Intuition! ”

This......

After being silent for a long time, Wang Si sighed: "These two words can't convince the family, so ......"

Wang Jishan smiled, "You don't need to convince the family, and you can't even make my actions public." The nephew asked the uncle to come out and discuss the secret, just to convince you to be alone. As long as you support it, it's enough. ”

Wang Si nodded, "Although I don't understand what calculations you have, but I have been an official for many years, and I know for my uncle that the one who knows the enemy best is his opponent." If you sit dry for two years, you will not be without harvest. If there is anyone in the Wang family who can defeat Xiao Rui, it must be you. ”

"Say, what do you want?"

Wang Jishan was moved to give Wang Si a salute, "People, please uncle give me a hundred trustworthy children of the right age, and I will spend a year doing special training for them, specifically to deal with the special training of next year's imperial examination." This matter is top secret, and no one can know about it except you and me. ”

A hundred? And top secret?

Wang Si shook his head with a wry smile, "No!" Not to mention a hundred, fifty is difficult. Everyone of the right age wants to participate in the imperial examination, and there is no absolute persuasion, who wants to listen to your dispatch? ”

"If you add this item that can be trusted, hehe, it must be our big house, but ...... Which of your cousins is not arrogant? ”

Wang Jishan sighed and said: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. The reason why I want a hundred is because I want to sweep the top 100 list of the imperial examination. No more than 200 people are hired in each imperial examination, and if half of them are ours, is it enough to prove that the government-run academies have failed? ”

Wang Si laughed and said: "If you can cover all the previous lists, why do you need a hundred?" Thirty is enough! ”

Wang Jishan hopefully said: "Thirty people? Have it? ”

Wang Si still shook his head, "No, there are enough people, but you and I can't convince them." Their parents wouldn't say yes either. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jishan was like a frosted eggplant, and said dejectedly: "Alas...... I thought that I could finally fight with Xiao Rui, but I never thought that I would lose at the beginning, and I was defeated because of the lack of people's hearts. Uncle, I'm not reconciled! ”

Wang Si thought for a moment, and suddenly made a suggestion, "Perhaps, it's not that there is no way, but you have to suffer a little." ”

"Oh? Uncle, say it quickly! As long as he can defeat Xiao Rui, he can eat any bitter nephew. A spark rekindled in Wang Jishan's eyes.

"There is a side branch in the north of our Taiyuan Wang clan, which was expelled from the clan land because of mistakes in the early years, and later left the northern border. After three generations of development, it is now developing in the small cloud town in the north, with many members. As far as I know, the patriarch of this branch is always thinking about returning to the Taiyuan clan. ”

So, if you're willing to go alone, convince them to cooperate with you...... It can hide their tracks and give them a chance to return to their homeland, so this thing is the best of both worlds. It's the bitter cold of the north, and you have to suffer for a year. ”

Hearing this, Wang Jishan laughed heartily, where is this suffering? It's clearly tailor-made for me.

immediately patted his chest and responded, "Uncle, rest assured, my nephew will definitely live up to the trust, this battle will definitely pull Xiao Rui off the undefeated altar." ”

That night, everything was agreed, and Wang Jishan left Wang's house at dawn, wearing stars and moons, and quietly embarked on the road to the north.

In the city of Taiyuan, a lurking poisonous snake was puzzled: impossible! Wang Jishan is about to hate Hou Ye to death, Hou Ye is clearly writing a war book, how could he not move at any time and still hide at home and read? Something is wrong, or is it? Send a dead man to the library to investigate?

This person is Wang Jishan's old enemy, Zheng Zihe of the Zheng family at the beginning, who was later rescued by Xiao Rui and faked his death. changed his name to Guankou and was loyal to Xiao Rui from then on. And after he took refuge, he only focused on one thing, that is, he stared at Wang Jishan, ready to kill this fateful enemy at any time.
