"Wei Shilang, I salute you!"

"Lord Li is polite."

Liuxiangju, the top restaurant in the state city, in the private room, Li Tianfeng smiled and raised his glass to Wei Zhide, the chief examiner who presided over the Surabaya Prefecture Township Examination.

After drinking it all, Li Tianfeng said with a smile: "I never thought that the imperial court would attach so much importance to the Surabaya Prefecture Township Test, and sent Wei Shilang to come, I thought that an ordinary Jinshi was sent away!" ”

Wei Zhide also smiled and said: "Master Li has been promoted from the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the center now attaches great importance to Surabaya Prefecture, so I need to say more, hehe." ”

Li Tianfeng nodded, "Yes, Enke, Enke, give grace to the readers, now that the situation in Surabaya Prefecture is unstable, it is time to open up Enke to win the hearts of the readers." ”

"So, Lord Li, this time the lower officials are shouldering the orders of His Majesty's ears and faces, and the center has entrusted them to take an absolutely fair and just township test. At that time, I will have to trouble Master Li to help me block it, so that those who try to take the left side of the door will retreat with difficulty. ”

Wei Zhide looked at Li Tianfeng with a smile, Li Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That's nature, that's nature, this official will help, he will help." ”

"In this case, thank you Master Li."

"Well said, well said."

——

Su Mansion, Xia Jingyun finished brushing the question and lay on Rouge's lap like a force.

Xie Rouge gently rubbed his head for him, "Childe, Lord Li has a banquet for the examiner tonight, do you think he will ask you the exam questions?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "No." ”

"Why?" Xie Rouge was a little puzzled, "The dignified state pastor came forward, and the prince is now prestigious, will the examiner not give that face?" ”

Xia Jingyun was noncommittal, "Rouge, what do you think of the imperial examination?" ”

Although Xie Rouge is brilliant, but some things require experience after all, and they can't be obtained out of thin air, she thought about it, and only said: "Select materials for the country and select excellent scholars to enter the officialdom?" ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head and said softly: "It's a cage warrior." ”

"These scholars are the smartest group of people in the world, if they accompany the dynasty, they can make the dynasty stable and develop, but if they have no officials and no positions, and have the skills to help the country and the people, then the chaos in the world is almost inevitable. Therefore, the ruler used the imperial examination as a cage and let these scholars be poor in order to enter the officialdom and become people. ”

Until then, they have no time to look elsewhere and are focused on moving forward. And once they become officials, they will be afraid of that official hat, suffering from gains and losses, and no longer have the lofty ambition to fly that day. ”

"Therefore, from the perspective of the imperial court, this autumn festival is a good opportunity to strengthen the role of this cage again and put all the scholars in Surabaya Prefecture in this cage."

"Because of this, if I were Your Majesty or a central minister, I would definitely try my best to ensure the fairness and justice of the imperial examination, and even let the next Surabaya Prefecture admit more people and give me more hope. Because once the imperial examination loses credibility and the cage breaks, the impact will be invisible to ordinary people, and the chaos in Surabaya Prefecture may really be unsolvable. ”

"In that case, how could Master Li get the exam questions!"

Xie Rouge was shocked when he heard such unheard of strange theories, but because it was Xia Jingyun who said it, he couldn't help but be willing to believe it, thought about it carefully, and said worriedly: "Why did that son go to the exam?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "What I said just now is from the most ambitious perspective, but for each of us specifically, the imperial examination is still the fairest and clearest upward channel we can have." I have no reason to say no! ”

"Forget it, I'm telling you so much about what you're doing. What I mean is that this time the autumn festival should be very fair, and there should be no omissions, cheating, or anything like that, but for me, it's a good thing, no one will make any off-the-job moves, everything is only based on results. ”

Xie Rouge thought about the rumors he had heard from those people outside these days, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "But I've heard that Childe has only been studying in the state for a few days, will he not be so good at exams?" ”

Xia Jingyun laughed, "Don't worry, it's hard to say other things, compared to the ability of the exam, what I have is confidence!" ”

What are you kidding, it's all a pen in one night, creating a miracle workout, and it's easy to finish a book three days before the exam.

What's more, in the mind of the original owner, the classics and scriptures are memorized very well, but he lacks some test-taking skills, and with himself, it is simply a heifer meeting an elephant - ____!

After resting for a while, Xia Jingyun continued to get up and brush the questions, and Rouge helped rub his shoulders, legs, and ink on the side, grinding and grinding, and the person grinded from the desk to the bed.

This night, Xie Rouge's pair of slender and beautiful legs are like the general trend of the world, they will be divided for a long time, and they will be together for a long time.

——

Sure enough, as Xia Jingyun expected, Li Tianfeng not only did not get the exam questions, but also had to publicly convene the gentry, held a preparatory meeting, and together with the chief and deputy examiners, solemnly affirmed the disciplinary requirements of this township examination, and clearly expressed the will to wage war against unhealthy tendencies and favoritism, which won the unanimous praise and joy of the participants, especially ordinary scholars.

In a restaurant in the city, several rich sons gathered, and everyone's faces were flustered.

"What to do? How is this still true? ”

"Yes, my old man came back to tell me that I was stunned and completely unprepared!"

"Is this court crazy, how can we endorse bitterly like those mud legs, there is no distinction between high and low, what kind of system!"

"This is reasonable, if we also stand with them to compete, then the hard work of our ancestors will not be in vain!"

"People are inherently different, so why pursue fairness? This kind of created fairness is a great injustice in itself! ”

One of the leaders sighed, "Okay, don't talk about it, it's useless to say so much, think of a way!" ”

"What can be done? The old man beat him sternly, don't cheat, this Spring Festival can only be resigned to fate! ”

"That's it, I will definitely not be able to do it this time, let's talk about it next time, the court can't be so strict forever, otherwise where will we be the magnates!"

"Well, my father also said that the imperial court will give some shade official quotas, and if the next term is still like this, I will not take the road of the imperial examination."

Speaking of this, everyone sighed in unison, thinking that everything was ready, making a show and passing the township test, getting the qualification to be an official, and then going to Zhongjing to taste the prosperity of Zhongjing, and the rest of his life was in the officialdom, looking for fun, enjoying a lifetime, but I didn't expect to hit a ghost as soon as I went out, and my dream died in the first step.

A person forced a smile and said: "Speaking of which, the only good news is that that Xia Jingyun is probably not on the list this time." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm afraid this man is more panicked than we are! ”

Suffering is always contrasted, and when they think of Xia Jingyun, everyone feels less uncomfortable.

These days, watching those women in the state city shamelessly go up one by one, some rich daughters also open their mouths and close their mouths to chat about Xia Jingyun, these sons and brothers who don't learn and don't know how to do it have long been jealous and hateful.

"We're okay, everyone knows that we don't learn and don't have any skills, and we don't have any ink on our chests, he doesn't boast of being the first son of Surabaya Prefecture today, I see what he said after he fell off the list!"

"Yes, if I am not on the list, people will only say that the court is indeed fair, and he is going to fall off the list, I am afraid that it will cause everyone to laugh!"

"He helped Concubine De and the state pastor, cut so much of my family's property, where can I use others, Lao Tzu will take the lead in mocking him!"

"Exactly! I watched those women come to him one by one without face and skin, a lucky person, why! ”

"Huh? You say, why don't we arrange it and explain it to him in Surabaya Prefecture, and lose face! It's also good to alleviate the fact that we are not on the list. ”

"Clever! That's it! ”

——

In the Su Mansion, Su Shidao directly set up a bed for Xia Jingyun in the study, so that he could sleep here for the past few days.

Su Shidao's words were very direct, for fear that he would be confused by beauty and consume energy.

Xia Jingyun was amused and moved, said hello to Xie Rouge, and studied diligently in the study.

He mainly pondered how to combine his exam skills with the current exam situation.

At the same time, Su Shidao's understanding and interpretation of Confucian classics were fully absorbed.

And after Su Shidao saw Xia Jingyun's terrifying knowledge induction and absorption ability, he was shocked, but also increased his efforts with some hope.

After turning over the books one by one, it came the day before the exam.

Xie Rouge handed a large box to Xia Jingyun with a worried expression, "Childe, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Xia Jingyun took it with a smile, reached out and gently stroked her face, "Don't worry, I'll take a test, what can be the problem." ”

Xie Rouge also knew that it was impossible for him to go in to help, so he had to say, "Childe can take the exam with peace of mind, so there is no need to worry." ”

"Hmm." He then looked at Su Shidao's wife and son, "Master, these days, Rouge has bothered you to take care of it. Two brothers, I'll come and drink with you after the exam. ”

Mrs. Su smiled kindly, "Don't worry!" ”

Xia Jingyun turned around, walked to Xu Dapeng, who was waiting on the side early, and walked into the Tribute Courtyard with a group of state students.

A moment later, the search was completed, the gate was locked, and then the gate of the Gongyuan slowly closed, cutting off the concerned eyes.

In the twenty-third year of Chongning, the Surabaya Prefecture Township Test has officially begun!

Four chapters, 12,000, is gone.

Happy May Day, everyone, by the way, ask for a ticket!
