Zhang Ji retracted his reverie and endured the turmoil in his heart. Li Brown had already stepped over him and walked in front of him. And because of his hesitation and suspicion and Li Brown's disdain, the distance between the two gradually widened.

Li Brown had forgotten what the blind fortune teller said at the moment, and walked by himself. His faith was regained.

Zhang Ji is different, and has thought of enough reasons to block Li Brown's approach. He couldn't stand the taste of being a head shorter than Li Brown in everything. The most feared thing in the world is that two people are equally talented, except for a little possibility of becoming friends, most of the possibilities are to be enemies.

You're the kind that lives or dies. If there is me, why should there be you? This is also a typical example of what the sage said, "If you attack heresy, you will be harmed."

Zhang Ji calculated. He didn't plan to kill Li Brown, he just wanted him to live under himself. Once this kind of mind moves, unless it is realized, it will always hover in your heart, like a young woman sitting on the edge of the bed holding a pipa and half-covering her face, tickling your heart. Just do it, and if you can't do it, you always think about it.

Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, Confucian scholars mostly kill people with pens and stinky mouths. Killing people and punishing the heart, punishing the heart is the highest means of killing people, the most wonderful way to kill people.

Kill Confucianism, punish Confucianism's heart, you have to find the life of Confucianism, that is, the life of a scholar. What is the life of scholars in all dynasties? As long as you live in this land, you can't do without an exam. This examination is a great system, from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the present, how many officials and masters have been examined, and how many talented people have been examined. Its greatest merit alone is to cage intellectuals, so that you can't make trouble, so that you can't participate in chaos, such as Huangchao, which is an exception that has not been encountered in a century. The people who read in this land spend too much time, either studying or taking exams. It can also be regarded as a tragedy unique to the dynasty, in the barbarian Quartet, the exam is not as good as in this land.

Zhang Ji thought to himself, what if Li Brown failed the test if he didn't pass the test? This blow was big enough for Li Brown. Let him be crazy, don't you claim to be a merry genius, aren't you very good at poetry, what if you can write strategies, what if you write ancient essays to catch up with Ousu Wang Huang, I will do you, so that you can't take the test. Even if you have great ability to reach the sky, you can't use it. Besides, this is still a civilized trick, and it does not involve martial arts, so he gave the evil breath in his heart happily. It's a brilliant idea when you think about it.

But how to make him fail the test is another problem. It's a technical job. Zhang Ji thought to himself. After thinking about it, the safest thing is to get a text prison. Pick out a transgression word from his poems and accuse him of rebellion, and this kid may die again. However, although Li Brown has poems with scrolls, he is hidden in his baggage, and he can't rob them. Even if you grab it hard, you may not be able to rob this dry and strong man. Although Li Brown is thin, he is indeed hard-boned, shriveled and powerful, and quite woody.

Since I can't engage in literary hell, why can't I borrow a knife to kill people? Doesn't the Governor's Mansion have the duty of the chief judge, I can spoil the ingredients of Li Brown's family to him. Yes, that's a good idea.

Because Zhang Ji knew that Li Brown was the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, otherwise the surname of the Tang Dynasty would not be easy to explain. This is indeed the truth, Li Brown is after the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Brown's great-grandfather, grandfather, father, by the way, his father's name is Li Shi, and he is guilty of Jinshi, I'm afraid he can't take the exam.

With the fact that the ancestor of the Immortal is a member of the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, coupled with the two powerful reasons of his father's name, Li Brown's ingredients must be greatly damaged, and he must not pass the main trial, and he will be branded as a chaotic minister and thief, and he will not be able to turn over for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji smiled. There is no endless road, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. It is pedantic to do one thing and always grind on things, and it is a good way to succeed by putting more effort into doing things outside of things. Especially in a profit-oriented dynasty like the Song Dynasty, money played a greater role than any other period. Celebrating success is the mainstream of this era. The so-called laughing poor and not laughing at prostitutes, as long as they succeed, there is nothing to say about what means they use.

When Zhang Ji was happy, Li Brown had already left him far behind. Li Brown's steps are very resolute and his goals are very clear. If the two of them do not divide the goal, there are similarities in terms of perseverance alone. It's a pity that creation makes people, and God's will is as promised, who can blame it.

In front of the first gate of the governor's mansion, there was already a cadre of scholars waiting in line. or high-spirited, or full of sadness, or preoccupied. It is ridiculous and pathetic that these many young people who should be lively are like many poor worms in front of the exam. Li Brown sneered in his heart.

After each person took out their own examination form, and after the composition was not bad, they wrote their names and drew them, stamped them with official seals, and immediately went to Tokyo to take the exam. The assembly line is coming down, and the winding queue has exhausted the patience of many waiters. It's finally Li Brown.

There was a person sitting at the table, and after Li Brown reported his name, as if waiting for a return had finally been paid, he opened his mouth and asked, "You are Li Brown?"

Li Brown looked at him a little strangely and nodded.

"Your father's name is Li Shi. Am I right?" the man asked sharply.

"Yes. Li Brown replied.

"Your ancestors are descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so that's right, right?" the man's voice was louder.

"That's right. ”

"That's right, young man, you're being honest. But I'm telling you, you can't take the Imperial Examination! The Imperial Examination is for the Imperial Dynasty to select outstanding talents, you have to share the emperor's worries, you have to serve the country, and you can love the emperor and the country?" the man shouted.

The scholars were in an uproar and began to talk about each other.

"Why can't I do it? I was born in the Great Song Dynasty, eating imperial grain, and stepping on the soil of the Song Dynasty, how can I not do it?" Li Brown asked rhetorically.

"No, you can't. Your ingredients are bad. Your ancestor was a general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. Whether you surrender or not, you are an enemy. This is one of them. Your father, Li Shi, has committed a taboo with the name of Jinshi, which is the second one. In this way, you cannot take the test. ”

The man snatched Li Brown's main examination form, criticized it obliquely with a red pen, and drew a big cross shackle. Then he wrote in a delicate and small fly-headed letter:

Shi Li Brown, a native of Jinan Prefecture. Zu Nan Tang Department, father is also a famous scholar, than against the norms, do not try.

Finally, in larger italics, he wrote:

Bad ingredients. Identification completed.

Li Brown was furious and helpless. Thousands of words are gathered in the mouth, but there is no way to say that the river flows backwards. This dog official, this dog policy, forced a good young man to be like this, a bastard.

The scholar began to return to his original state. The nervousness triggered by the exam, how can they give up because of their concern for a stranger. The world is big, and you are the biggest. Who cares about anyone these days?

Li Brown was depressed, but he didn't expect that he couldn't take the test because of his own Lao Tzu. What kind of bastard truth is this.

At this moment, Zhang Ji was standing in the crowd, revealing a long-lost smile.
