Chapter 6 - Kyoto Shakes
Seeing his father and senior sister talking happily, Qin Shou felt that the dean, who had never met before, seemed to have a good relationship with his father.
The chatter ended quickly, and Mu Miaoyin was welcomed into the Qin family and met the Qin family's grandmother in worship.
In the living room, the grandmother was sitting in the middle next to Qin Shou's parents and Mu Miaoyin chatting happily, as for Qin Shou, he was hugged by his mother.
Qin Shou was not interested in their topic, what he was thinking about now was how to get the blood pill of the Qin family's first-order demon beast Golden Armor Snake,
The Golden Armor Snake, the leader of the first-order demon beasts, this kind of demon beast blood pill is the most suitable for the cultivation of opening the chaotic breathing method, but...
But this blood pill is extremely valuable, if you ask your father for it, there is a high probability that you won't give it, and you will even be asked what you want to do with the blood pill, you can't say that you want to cultivate martial arts, right?
"Let them know that I have the idea of cultivating martial arts, I guess I really want to break my leg, right?" Qin Shou muttered in his heart, but he still had to think of a way.
The people of the Qin family on the side also learned the ins and outs of Qin Shou's promotion to Confucianism, and one by one they couldn't help but be amazed, they also heard about what happened in the afternoon, but they really didn't know that all this was actually related to Qin Shou.
"It turned out that the heavy rain in the afternoon was Shou'er's means?" Qin Wei smiled dumbly,
The heavy rain in the afternoon came and went quickly, and he also felt that this heavy rain was not simple, but if it was a Confucian method, it could be explained.
"I heard from the people in the house that there are two Confucian students in the Shenwen Academy today, but I don't know who the other one is?"
Grandma Qin looked at her grandson with a kind look on her face, and she couldn't stop being happy,
Six generations of the Qin family... Finally, there is a serious reader!
"It's me. ”
Mu Miaoyin said with a smile: "But all this is also thanks to the little senior brother's order, I only occasionally understand." ”
Everyone in the Qin family looked dazed, this is also related to Shou'er?
"This..."
Qin Wei touched the back of his head and said, "Is this really my son?"
"Qin Wei, you..."
Zhang Xian was so angry next to her, this guy really seemed to sleep on the floor at night.
"Just kidding, just kidding. Qin Wei immediately came back to his senses, looked at Qin Shou, gave a thumbs up, and said solemnly: "It is worthy of being my son! ”
Qin Shou: ......
Is it too late for us to change our father?
"Don't be poor, your son is a seven-year-old Confucian student, and you were still playing with mud when you were seven years old. ”
The grandmother of the Qin family was immediately unhappy, her grandson was the real dragon and phoenix among people, and there had never been such a young Confucian since the founding of the Great Qin.
Seeing his mother speak, Qin Wei was suddenly like a wilted eggplant and didn't dare to make another move.
The corners of Mu Miaoyin's mouth rose slightly, and then he also spoke: "Actually, I came here today for one more thing, the imperial court examination will start in a month, and this year, the three places in Changle County will account for two, and Qin Shou will represent the Shenwen Academy to participate in the imperial court examination at that time." ”
After this sentence fell, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and even Qin Wei put away his hippie smile.
"Participating in the imperial court examination?" Qin Wei said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm going to go to Kyoto, right?"
"Yes. Mu Miaoyin nodded,
Qin Wei and Grandma Qin glanced at each other, and then Grandma Qin spoke: "Shou'er is only seven years old, and this place is tens of thousands of miles away from Kyoto, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Qin Shou secretly screamed that it was not good, and sure enough...
glanced at Mu Miaoyin and said secretly in her heart, Senior Sister will look at you next!
"Every year, the students who take the entrance examination from all over the country are personally escorted by the government, Grandma Qin doesn't have to worry too much, as for me to take care of Qin Shou personally along the way, I guess there won't be too many problems. ”
Mu Miaoyin also seemed to have been prepared, and did not give up this idea easily.
"It's not right. ”
Grandma Qin shook her head and said, "Shou'er is the sixth generation of my Qin family, no matter how smart he is, he is only a seven-year-old child, how can I rest assured that he will go to Kyoto, which is thousands of miles away?"
Mu Miaoyin didn't say a word, and sighed in her heart, Do you really have to use the method taught by the junior brother?
"But the list of people who will take the entrance examination this time has been sent to Kyoto by the prefect Qianli, and if I am not mistaken, Qin Shou's name has now appeared in the list of the entrance examination in Kyoto. ”
Mu Miaoyin said in embarrassment: "If Qin Shou doesn't go, it will be tantamount to disobeying the emperor's order......."
Disobey the Emperor!
The fall of these four words made everyone in the Qin family feel distracted, and the end of disobeying the emperor's orders in the Great Qin Dynasty was to punish the nine clans!
Grandma Qin's face changed several times, staring at Mu Miaoyin as if she was analyzing whether her words were true or false.
But she couldn't see anything.
After a while, he sighed and said, "Can't you find someone else instead?"
Mu Miaoyin shook her head and said, "That is the crime of deceiving the king." ”
Everyone in the Qin family: ......
"Sir, the feast is ready. At this time, Qin Xiaohua walked in and opened her mouth to break the deadlock, and Qin Wei suddenly said: "Don't mention this matter for the time being, let's eat first." ”
Mu Miaoyin nodded, probably having an answer in her heart.
The little senior brother is worthy of being extremely intelligent, and in just two sentences, the Qin family can no longer refuse him to participate in the imperial court examination, even if the Qin family is unwilling, it is impossible to disobey the emperor's order.
During the banquet, everyone in the Qin family finished their meal with their own thoughts, and everyone stopped mentioning this matter, and Mu Miaoyin also left the Qin family after the meal.
It's just that at this time, in the distant Great Qin Kyoto, Liu Changling, the official of the Great Qin Dynasty, was still dealing with some official documents.
"My lord, it's not too early, Madame is urging you to go home. The guards outside reminded again,
"Tell Madame that I'll go back after half an hour of business. Liu Changling didn't raise his head and said, the imperial court examination is about to start, and he, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has too many things to deal with.
After processing an official document in his hand, Liu Changling continued to pick up the next official document, opened it and found that it was an urgent official document submitted below.
"A list of the entrance examination is actually marked as expedited? Zhibai, the prefect of Changle County, is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. ”
Liu Changling was quite unhappy in his heart, this kind of trivial matter is the responsibility of other officials, if it is not marked as expedited, this official document will not appear on his desk at all.
Casually glancing at it, he caught a glimpse of a small line of writing out of the corner of his eye, just as he was about to close it.
"Qin Shou, seven years old, was promoted to Confucianism with today's public poetry. ”
Liu Changling's movements suddenly stiffened, and he wondered if he had seen it wrong, a seven-year-old Confucian student!?
How is this possible!
At that moment, Liu Changling also read it carefully, and it recorded everything that happened in Changle County in the afternoon, including Qin Shou's poem, as well as the vision caused by the competition with others.
"No wonder..."
After reading it, Liu Changling understood why this official document would be marked as urgent, if everything above was true, this official document should even appear in front of His Majesty!
Seven-year-old Confucian student!
Something that has not happened since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty means that he has the potential to become a high-grade Confucian scholar!
A high-grade Confucian is an irreplaceable existence for any dynasty, and a Confucian scholar above the seventh grade has another name: the pillar of the town!
Thinking of this, Liu Changling immediately stood up and didn't care about dealing with other official documents, and said directly to the guards outside: "Swing and enter the palace." ”
This matter must be told to His Majesty as soon as possible, and a seven-year-old Confucian student feels crazy to think about it.
.......
The palace is brightly lit, and dozens of female guards in the Jinluan Hall stand quietly, and there are layers of screens in front of the dragon chair in the center.
A woman in a golden dragon robe sat on the dragon chair and bowed her head to approve the folds, she was the empress of Daqin today.
"Your Majesty, Liu Changling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him, saying that it was a matter of urgency. ”
Just then, a guard walked in and reported,
The empress on the dragon chair raised her head slightly, a little doubt flashed in her eyes, and she also said at the moment: "Biography." ”
A moment later, Liu Changling entered the Jinluan Hall to meet the empress.
"Liu Qingjia, what's the matter with you?" the empress's voice came from behind the screen,
"Your Majesty, please take a look. ”
Liu Changling handed over the urgent document and said, "If it weren't for an urgent matter, the old minister wouldn't dare to disturb him like this." ”
The guard handed this official document to the empress, and she glanced at it, and locked every word on the official document with her eyes, for fear that she would miss it.
After a moment, the empress put down the official document and raised her head and asked, "Is this serious?"
"The prefect of Changle County is my student, and he shouldn't be stupid enough to bully the king. Liu Changling bowed his head and said,
"Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near. ”
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. ”
The empress savored this poem, and felt more and more that this poem was not simple, this is really the perception of a seven-year-old child?
"Your Majesty, this person became a Confucian at the age of seven, and his future is limitless. Liu Changling bowed his head and said: "But Changle County is located at the junction of China's southern border, and there are many spies from neighboring countries, and I am afraid of ......."
The words are endless, but the empress also understands what he means.
"Changle County, Qin Shou..."
The empress's jade fingers tapped on the table, she thought of a family that had disappeared in Kyoto for a hundred years, was this a coincidence or...
"Wisdom. ”
The empress muttered for a few seconds before she spoke, and a female guard in the Jinluan Hall responded: "The minister is here." ”
He led ten Praetorian Guards to Changle County on the same day to escort Qin Shou into Beijing. ”
......
Qin Shou naturally had no way of knowing what was happening in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, but tonight was a sleepless night for the Qin family.
After sending Mu Miaoyin away, Grandma Qin and Qin Wei and his wife were discussing something in the living room again, and Qin Shou was also sitting next to him on the grounds that he was not sleepy.
"Mother-sama, is Shou'er really going to Kyoto?"
Qin Wei was worried, and originally thought that Qin Shou's becoming a Confucian scholar was a happy event, but now it seems that it is not good news.
"The list has been reported to the imperial court, and if you don't go, you will disobey the emperor's order. ”
The old grandmother of the Qin family sighed: "The efficiency of the prefect's side is so high?"
Qin Wei is a fast catcher, and he is quite clear about some of the work processes of the county prefect.
After thinking about it carefully, he said: "The examination is a big event, and the prefect has been urging the two academies to submit the list as soon as possible a few days ago, presumably when the list is submitted in the afternoon, the prefect will also report to the imperial court as soon as possible." ”
Grandma Qin shook her head and laughed at herself: "The Qin family stayed away from Kyoto a hundred years ago in order not to get involved in court disputes, but who would have thought that after a hundred years, it would still be unavoidable." ”
Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can't get a good ranking, no one will notice Shou'er at all." ”
Grandma Qin glanced at her son and said, "Have you practiced martial arts and broken your brain, since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, no one can become a Confucian at the age of seven! In this case, once Shou'er enters Kyoto, he will become the focus of everyone's eyes, and his background will be easily found out." ”
Qin Wei sneered and said: "How can I say that it was also a dispute a hundred years ago, those people were old and dead at the beginning, who is okay and still thinking about our Qin family?"
"The status of the Qin family ancestor in Kyoto is far from what you can imagine,"
The old grandmother of the Qin family recalled some of the past and continued for a moment: "At the beginning, the Qin family was tired of these struggles, so the family moved from the bustling Kyoto to the border town, and did not cut off these troubles, once Shou'er stepped into Kyoto again, it would mean that the Qin family would return again. ”
"And the seven-year-old Confucian ... What does that mean?"
The old grandmother of the Qin family said in a deep voice: "If nothing else, it only takes decades for Shou'er to become a high-grade Confucian student!"
"It doesn't matter if he can really become a high-grade Confucian student, but let others know that he is from the Qin family, I am afraid that countless people will not want to see the rise of the Qin family again. ”
The grandmother's words made Qin Wei's parents at a loss, but Qin Shou listened to it and slandered him, Lao Tzu participated in the imperial court examination in order to appear in front of people!
It has nothing to do with partisan strife or trouble.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Qin Shou suddenly thought of how to get the Qin family to give him that Golden Armor Snake Demon Pill!
"Grandma, I want to ask for something. ”
The old grandmother of the Qin family raised her head and looked at Qin Shou and said with a smile: "Okay, good, good grandson, grandma will give you whatever you want." ”
"I remember that the Qin family has a Blood Pill of the Golden Armor Snake, and I want to give it to the dean. ”
Qin Shou blinked his big eyes, his face innocent.
Dean, Dean, although we have never met, we can show your role at this time!
