In order to prevent some of these officials from shielding the scholars and colluding in cheating, the crown prince ordered the top ten people of the Mandate of Heaven to be tested in the court.

The ten people had never been to the court, and they were very worried in their hearts, but after all, they were the officials of one of the princes, how could they slip out of their hands.

On the palace of the imperial court, the atmosphere is majestic and solemn, the courtiers stand on both sides, the prince supervises the court under the oblique of the imperial chair, and the ten talented people are scrutinized in the middle.

Prince: "You don't have to be nervous, since you can stand out in the Wushuang Society, you are the pillar of my dynasty, and today let us open our eyes and know the future of the splendid dynasty!" ”

When the words fell, a eunuch handed over ten secret letters to these ten people.

Prince: "There are your topics here, each person makes a poem according to the title, it's not very difficult, if you can't do it, you will be punished as cheating!" ”

The prince smiled and spoke, but it made people feel cold and murderous.

The top ten selected by 100,000 candidates, no matter how difficult it is to write a poem, only a moment later, ten people have done it, and then passed it to each official for review, and finally it was reviewed by the prince.

The wind and rain fall into the cold, and the hundred-year-old hates the world!

The drizzle is clumsy and the mud is green, and the cold pool shines on Baguio!

The green and red are gorgeous, cold and warm for a lifetime!

The poems of Li Zheng, Wang Xuewen, and Zhou Hao, in fact, the secret letters to the ten students are all the same, and they are all the same topic, that is, to use the word Qinghan to compose poems.

Among them, only Li Zheng, who was the first name, made a new idea and used a clear word, not the green character given by the title.

In the dictionary test, there are often articles with homophones, as long as there is no problem with the expression of the meaning, not only is it not wrong, but it is also a plus point for the article, if the meaning is not explained, then it will not work.

After reading it, the ministers present all felt that it was worthy of being among the top ten of 100,000 students, and the poems were extremely exquisite, and they could be completed in such a short time, which was indeed convincing.

The next thing is to praise it, according to the previous agreement, the top ten students suddenly won the position of the head of the prefecture and county, which can be regarded as a feudal official, even if the restrictions and jurisdiction of the dynasty are relatively strict, but there is enough space to obtain huge benefits for themselves.

Several people happily thanked the order and took office.

Prince: "Very good, the dynasty has added some fresh blood, and we will witness this strong era in the future, all the ministers!" ”

It was originally a test for a few new students, and there was nothing special, and then they retired from the dynasty.

The poems of the ten students were also shown to Long Yu, but Long Yu practiced martial arts, and he was not proficient in the article, and the general poems felt very smooth, and he couldn't see what was good, so he didn't care too much.

In addition to the official position of commanding the army, the general prefecture and county lords were civil officials, and most of the officials in the imperial dynasty were also civilian officials, because military power could not be given casually.

Li Zheng became the lord of Baichuan Mansion, Wang Xuewen was the lord of Beijun Mansion, and Zhou Hao was the lord of Mobei Mansion.

The area of these three prefectures and counties is relatively large, and the people are rich, half of which is due to the imperial dynasty, and half of it is also the credit of Yao Mengran and others for many years of active development.

Just because he refuted the prince, he ended up like this, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

The remaining 90 people were also arranged for official positions, and the fifty people before were all arranged for the positions of county guards, second-class official positions under the lord of the prefecture, direct superiors and subordinates, and as soon as they entered the court, they were prominent party members, and many people were excited.

Wenchang was depressed, he was ranked fiftieth, and the people in front of him were at least the county guards, and when it came to him, there was no vacancy, and he became a county guard, responsible for assisting the county guards in their daily affairs, which was simply a joke of life.

The depressed Wenchang was drinking alcohol, and the eldest brother Wen Jing on the side was comforting him: "Don't be depressed, the three of us can't even be servants, I don't have an opinion, do you think the guard officer is too small?" ”

Wenchang smiled stupidly, looked at Cao Mengyu on the side, and comforted: "Brother Cao, don't care, think about where you are on a business trip, it is impossible that you are not on the list!" ”

Zhang Chao still can't figure out why he fell off the list: "Do you think our exam questions will be forgotten?" Or is it the collusion of these officials? The topic can't be wrong, is the future just this meaning, Brother Wenchang just intends to get the topic right? ”

Ten students have passed the test, and announced to the world that they will take office soon, although the time is a little rushed, but there is nothing strange, this major event is settled.

Cao Mengyu thought about it for a day, and finally had some eyebrows.

"The title must not be wrong, the future must be two meanings, as for Brother Wenchang to be on the list, I think they are drunkards who don't mean to drink!"

"What did Brother Cao think of?" Wen Jing asked with a solemn face.

"Brother Zhang reminded me just now, this matter is nothing more than these three reasons, our test papers were destroyed or some reason why the examiner didn't see it!"

"It's not impossible, in previous years, some students' test papers were accidentally destroyed, and we sat together and the papers were also together, except for Wenchang's good luck, it is not impossible for others to be accidentally burned or something, this situation will not be said clearly due to the situation, and the candidates can only be regarded as unlucky!" Zhang Chao said.

Cao Mengyu shook his head and said, "Impossible, ours is gone, and Li Jun's is also gone?" Qi Chongbao's is also lost? Hou Cen's is also lost? None of them sat together! ”

Zhang Chao patted his head and said: "I remembered when you said this, so many of us have lost their test papers at the same time, this is not an accident!" ”

Cao Mengyu continued: "When we left, we saw Li Jun, Qi Chongbao, Hou Cen together, and even Huang Daozhang, indicating that they all took the exam, but I found that they were not too surprised by the fact that they were not on the list! ”

"Those people are still talking and laughing!" Wen Jing also saw it.

"Although I haven't had much contact with them, they should have thought about it, and sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, and I actually slowed them down by a day!"

Three may be ruled out of two, and only one remains.

Wen Jing and Wen Chang said at the same time: "There is a problem with this exam? ”

Cao Mengyu squinted his eyes and said: "It must be so, sure enough, we are too simple, I think this is a good opportunity, maybe Brother Liu will see this result early in the morning!" ”

Zhang Chao was shocked: "No, this time it's the prince's main exam, and the third prince assists in grading, who has the courage to exclude our test papers?" ”

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, you are still too naïve, is the prince himself selfish, and the third prince is not selfish?"

Zhang Chao grew his mouth and said tremblingly: "No...... Yes...... Well, this ...... Don't...... Is it a disguise? ”

Cao Mengyu nodded and said, "That's right, it's just a game, a game we play with others!" A game that doesn't stand out from the start! ”

"If that's the case, what is the purpose of what they are doing this, just as before, why do they need to do more?"

Wenjing also agrees with this possibility, but there are also some unbelievables.

"There is always their purpose, maybe it has nothing to do with us, or maybe it is the internal reasons of the dynasty that cause them to need to play such a scene!"

After such a lot of effort and two months, the Destiny of Heaven was turned out to be a conspiracy farce, and the four of them felt shuddered together, perhaps there was still a trace of expectation in their hearts, and they didn't believe that the prosperous Qi Dynasty could do such a despicable thing.

"The emperor is seriously ill, who is the future emperor, this is what they are considering!" Wen Jing also understood and hit the point.

"That'...... Then should I be an official? Wen Chang was a little timid in his heart.

If you are not satisfied with the position, you can give up and wait for the next exam, and the vacancy will be filled by the person behind you.

When it comes to his younger brother's comfort, Wen Jing didn't reply rashly, but was thinking about various possibilities.

"If you're in a hurry, go for it, if there's no big reason, it's better not to be this official!"

"That's right, brother, if you are in the bureau, many things will be involuntary, although this official position will not have much impact, I am afraid that in case .................."

"Okay, I'll listen to the two brothers, and I'll go and resign from this official position tomorrow!"

"Wait a minute, we can't see the sky yet, tomorrow the dynasty will announce the poems of today's ten candidates, if they are better than us, what they just said may not be true, if they are unsatisfactory, then ............" Cao Mengyu analyzed very calmly.

"Then there must be a problem in this, although we want to aspire to a peaceful and prosperous world, we must not become a pawn in the struggle for power of others!" Wen Jing said angrily.

"It's best to ask Brother Liu, I'm afraid that with his opinion, I am afraid that I can catch up with that Li Jun! It's always a pity that a plain county guard is lost! Zhang Chao pondered.

"That's right, go ask Brother Liu how it is!" The other three said together.

………………

Hou Cen stopped Li Jun, who was about to leave, and left the noisy military camp with Huang Daozhang and Wang Chi and his party of five.

There are too many hutong dwellings in Wushuang City, covering a vast area, some places are difficult to find, suitable for some people to live in seclusion, and some places have not even been set foot in for many years, quiet and peaceful.

Hou Cen led them to an extremely remote place, where the surrounding houses were dilapidated and almost collapsing, and the roofs were full of holes.

A few people turned and entered a most inconspicuous small house, the inside was very different from the outside, although there was not much change, it was very clean and elegant, no dust, a table in the middle, surrounded by stone seats against the wall, just in a circle.

"Please!" Hou Cen stretched out his hand and led the other four people in.

Huang Daozhang and others are not pedantic people who sit casually, and they don't care about the dilapidated place around the table.

"Is there anything I'm interested in? If you lie to me, you won't believe you next time! Li Jun was a little unhappy and shook his head.

Hou Cen was not in a hurry to explain, took out a pot of tea and a few teacups from another room, and made tea in front of everyone.

Several people looked at each other, and Qi Chongbao, who came with him, didn't know what to do, and looked at him curiously.

Li Jun couldn't wait to raise his butt and prepare to leave, at this time the water had entered the pot, and the aroma of tea leaves wafted inside, Li Jun smelled it and sat back.

"It turned out to be bee tea, I didn't expect Brother Hou to have this skill!" Huang Daozhang smelled it at once.

A few people who were a little anxious saw that the bee tea was stable, and they were not in a hurry to ask about it.

Bee tea is a very special kind of tea brewed with honey, there is only one kind of honey in the world that can taste with tea, this kind of bee needs very strict breeding conditions, and the honey produced each time can be used to make tea less than one-tenth of two, which is very rare.

Any kind of tea made with this honey does not lose its original taste, and it becomes extremely sweet, and if this honey is added to the tea, it is sweet and calm. If this honey is added to the child's heart, it will be very sweet and pleasant to look back on the childhood.

It's like a booster, and whatever tea you add to it will make it taste better.

Even if you pour this honey into a glass of plain water, the taste will be refreshing.

Almost no one who tastes tea does not like it, and it is the holy product of tea in Wushuang City.

I don't know what kind of tea is inside, watching Hou Cen pour it for a few people one by one, Li Jun is the most anxious, regardless of whether the tea in the cup is not cold, he hurriedly takes a sip and goes in

"Oh, it's You'er Heart!" Li Jun, who drank the tea, tasted the name of the tea in one sip.

The rest of the people couldn't bear it, and they raised their glasses one after another to taste the honey-added heart.
