Chapter 392: The Tang Dynasty National Examination

The crowd was full of voices and the competition was everywhere.

The Huang family changed, and the people flocked.

The world is in business, and it is uneasy.

An invisible bloody battle, the smoke of gunpowder is thick.

The next day, just as a young man from the Ministry of Gold said. Since the Huang family's Kyoto incident, the Tang Dynasty has three regions, east, west and north, spanning 60 million miles, and all the industries under the name of the Huang family have been scattered into a number of small shares, which have been dumped in the market.

The mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty are boiling all over the country. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, the common people in the market are still wealthy businessmen, and even beggars on the roadside, all of them have exhausted their family wealth, hollowed out their minds, and squeezed their heads to buy one or two tickets that can receive a hundred dividends. Those who really have no money reach out to borrow from relatives and friends, and those who can't borrow steal and rob, cheat, abduct and deceive, and do everything. For a time, the Huang family's ticket was comparable to the gold of the troubled times, and all parts of Datang had trouble because of the ticket. In the streets and alleys, before and after drinking, there is only one word "ticket" to talk about, but the matter of Yunmeng's corpse disaster is deeply submerged in people's impetuousness, and few people talk about it anymore.

On the morning of the third day, Kyoto Jinluan promulgated a new financial law, the Ministry of Household established a new financial department, the criminal department established Anlu Temple, and the garrisons of various cities and counties deployed soldiers to form supervision envoys. This also means that the Tang Dynasty officially intervened in the dispute over trade in the world with imperial power.

This is an unprecedented change.

Those at the heart of change can't imagine what a sea difference they will bring to this era in the years and decades to come. It's not that the vision is insufficient, but this revolution involves a wide range of things, the context is complex, and the roots are so intricate that even the initiators have never fully understood it, and how can others calculate it? The rich Huang family can't, and neither can the genius young man of the Jin Division. Although he seems to have understood all the mysteries, he still lacks a city government to study deeply, so he can only count it as it is, seek its reasons, and cannot break its nature. Therefore, regardless of the court, rivers and lakes, market shopping malls, people today can only see the inexhaustible wealth printed behind the tickets, and cannot see the turbulent undercurrent under the hidden wealth resources like a deep-sea monster.

It's called greed.

It feeds on all the dark and evil roots of human nature.

Step by step, it will devour mortal reason, when reason is extinguished until the last night. The illusion fades, the world bubbles, and the world will usher in an unprecedented baptism!

Of course, this is just a later story.

Fang Qi twenty-one years,

April 17 was cloudy.

The morning rain continued and ended in the morning.

The eaves corner condenses the beads, hanging but not falling.

The peddlers and pawns hurriedly walked back and forth in the streets and alleys, the wet dew washed the road to 8,000 miles, the green stone bricks, the red lanterns, the smoke of the cooking, and the verdant buds, all made the morning Chang'an look exceptionally fresh.

Daxiangguo Temple, the morning light is shining.

The morning bell rang at the beginning, and the aftermath lingered.

The monks in Xiangguo Temple all have morning classes in the halls of the front yard, and the sound of reading the scriptures comes from the windows, doors, and cracks in the walls, echoing in the huge temple. Birds singing and flowers are fragrant, and the spring is murmuring. For today's special day, purify and remove a lot of anxiety.

In the front yard, the gate of the Daxiong Hall is still closed. In addition to today, the transcendence ritual has been going on for a whole month. According to the Buddhist Gate Qiqi Pudu, the people inside may not come out until the 18th.

In the backyard, the voices of people are noisy and slightly lively. Threes, threes, twos, and twos chatted lightly, five or six groups of people discussed, and many young people who borrowed to live in Xiangguo Temple packed their bags and left one after another.

Slowly going down the Qingyan alley, the voices of people are getting shallower, but there are gradually more people...

"Come and eat some more. ”

"Yes. ”

Outside the small courtyard, it was almost full of people at this time.

They are all tigers and bears, and their waists are as strong as iron towers, and they are dressed in animal skins and tied with white silk on their heads, and they are very powerful. They stood or sat up and down the alley, all holding meat buns with white smoke in their hands, and eating quietly early. Several men in charge of miscellaneous work traveled back and forth between the courtyard and the courtyard, constantly taking out food to ensure that everyone was well fed and fed. At this time, there are more people in the courtyard, and there is no place to settle in the small courtyard of dozens of zhang, these people are the same as the outside, all of them are tigers and bears, and their waists are covered with animal skins, and their heads are tied with eye-catching white silk. The four-person-tall steamer stood in the corner of the courtyard, rising with billowing smoke, and people lined up in a long line, taking out breakfast that suited their tastes one after another, and then walking out of the courtyard or walking to the side, in an orderly manner, which was a rare rule.

It's just that the atmosphere here is even heavier.

"Gazi, have their tablets been put away?"

"Don't worry, Lei Meng carries it with him. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then I'll talk about it..."

The lobby of the main building, the location is gone.

There are two large tables on the left and right, and dozens of people are seated. Green vegetable and white porridge, fried potato cakes, soy milk and meat buns, both tables are the lightest breakfast, but the people here eat without complaints, even Xiahou only dares to be quiet.

Huang Qi sent a letter saying that the imperial family had linked up with the rising stars of the military departments in various places, and there were more than 10,000 reference personnel. They will inevitably become the biggest force in this national examination, and they are also our biggest obstacles. The national examination is divided into two sessions, the first is the first civil and military examination, and the second is the joint entrance examination. If nothing else, according to the previous rules, the first test on your side should still be a ring competition, and seven wins out of ten will be promotion. With your cultivation, it shouldn't be a big deal to advance, but I have a request for you, you must agree, okay?"

The fritters were rolling with soy milk, and Xia Xun said lightly, but the tone of the last sentence was very serious, more like an unquestionable order.

A giant man with a scar on his face sitting at the next table turned around and said, "Xun Shao, if you have any requirements, just say it, let's listen to you, don't ask." ”

"That's good. ”

After eating the fried dough sticks stained with soy milk and swallowing his stomach carefully, Xia Xun continued: "In the ring, no matter who the opponent is, if you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will surrender, and you must not be killed." You will also help me pass this on to my brothers outside, and if anyone disobeys, you can watch and do it. ”

"Well, what if someone else is playing with their lives?"

"Either knock him down or you run. ”

"Then what if the Tang Dynasty Mansion cheats?"

"You can do it. ”

“......”

The northerners at the two tables frowned when they heard this, and they knew what Xia Xun meant in their hearts. But the northerners are fierce, as fierce as fire, and the blood feud three days ago was humiliating, they are waiting for the day of the national examination to have a good breath of evil, how can they say that if they can't kill their hands, they won't kill their hands?

"The Tang Dynasty Mansion is deadly, and we can't be ruthless?" asked Yu Xia Xun a man named Lei Meng at a table.

Xia Xun shook his head and replied, "Absolutely not." ”

"Ah Xun..."

“......”

As soon as Xia Hou spoke, Xia Xun immediately glanced at it, and Xia Hou was embarrassed to continue to speak. In desperation, Xiahou had no choice but to wave his hand and sigh: "Hey, brother just listen to you." ”

Looking at Xia Hou's aggrieved appearance, Xia Xun's solemn expression couldn't help but slow down, and he said heavily and bitterly: "Brother Hou, you have to listen to me." On top of the national examination, life is a child's play, even if the Tang Dynasty government does not pit us, it is impossible for all of us to break the enemy with more than 300 people, since you can kill people, people can also kill you, you kill one person is just a moment of pleasure, and we are grief-stricken when we die, you have to understand which is more important. ”

Xia Xun was bitter, and Xia Hou was speechless.

After a pause, Xia Xun glanced at everyone at the two tables, and his face condensed again, and said, "And you have to understand." ”

"It's not easy to pass through the North Pass once, 60 million miles of ice is boundless, riding birds are rare treasures, and going south is a decay and longevity. The elders of the various clans have allowed you to come here, not only to let you gain insight and help us, but also to pin the rise and fall of the clan on your future. If someone dies halfway, how should you explain to them? Xiahou and I still have the face to go back? Do you think that's the truth?"

“......”

The words, said with deep feelings, and even a little desolate in the reprimand, the dozens of fierce northerners here listened to it, and they did not dare to disobey again, even if they had more than enough, they could only be pressed in their hearts and not exposed.

"Lei Meng is all sent by looking for less. ”

"It's all about finding and sending. ”

“......”

After a moment of silence, Lei Meng first took the lead in answering the words, and then the northerners present one after another also opened their mouths to respond to Xia Xun's request. It's just that Xia Xun knows their temperament too well, especially Xia Hou, if there is nothing to do, he will be rigid when he encounters something, this is not to say that he can change it, so he is not very relieved.

"Senior brother. After thinking for a moment, Xia Xun looked at Mo Xian with a slightly sideways face.

"Huh?" Mo Xian raised his eyelids slightly.

"Later, the little master and I will go to the Hanlin Academy for the literary test, and it will take two hours to come and go as fast as possible, and it will be difficult to take care of the end of the hand. Xiahou, they will bother you to take care of it. ”

"Yes"

Mo Xian nodded coldly, but Xia Xun didn't seem to be enough, and said: "Remember, don't let them come nonsense, if the signs are wrong or the gap is huge, even if you don't let them go to the ring, it doesn't matter." Remember, remember..."

"Yes, I see. ”

“......”

In addition to nodding this time, Mo Xian deliberately added two more words, with these two words, Xia Xun was much more relieved, and he no longer chattered endlessly. At this point, it's almost time to finish...

After the morning eclipse, the sunny day begins to open.

Warmth blows, ethereal lightness.

The warm sun leaks out the dark clouds and pours the earth, the green grass lifts the branches and leaves with the wind to shake away the dewdrops, and the moist tidal dew is gradually evaporated by the sun and the white mist. The mist rises, wraps around the temple, seems to be built in the palace of the nine heavens, and the gurgling sound is more like a bit of human bliss.

After the morning, two handsome white horses went out of Xiangguo Temple, carrying a green shirt and a little monk of Muna, galloping north. It didn't take long for the small courtyard to arouse a few shouts, and then the hundreds of warriors in the vast soup turned into fierce tigers and wolves, and also followed the royal horse out of Xiangguo Temple. All the way to the west, stepping on muddy gravel splashes...

Wind day and and.

Today, special.

It is the day of the opening of the Datang National Examination.

The so-called ten years of grinding and washing the cold window and studying hard, one day the dragon soars for nine days, which is talking about this day.

For thousands of years, I don't know how many famous people and heroes have started to step onto the stage of history, and they have become famous through the ages. Not to mention the far, the great planners who are as close as the north, the old people who ask the Tianshan Mountain, the Pure Yang Palace, the Tower of Babel, the Soul Chasing Tower, the Wushan, the dancers and so on, all of them are due to this. As a result, the Tang Dynasty has absorbed countless capable ministers and generals who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, thus prospering for thousands of years. Inherited to this day, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and the martial arts students of the world, whether rich or poor, have all pinned their life's career on this day, hoping to stand out from the test, smell the princes, and shine in the court. Even if you have no intention of becoming an official, you want to climb the tower to look at the world, find an opportunity to break the cocoon and be reborn, or go further, and embrace all rivers.

Old.

Candidates go to the exam, the princes watch the exam, and the world hears the exam.

Today's Chang'an is only four words to speak of - the world is eye-catching!

Even if the Huang family scatters wealth, it is difficult to hide its brilliance. Officers and soldiers strictly guard the roads, the streets and alleys are cleared, and anyone waiting for carriages, horses, and goods must be hoarded on the roadside, and it is strictly forbidden to make noise, let alone obstruct the traffic of students going to the examination. The green buildings are closed, the gambling stalls are closed, the peddlers return home, the children are trapped in the buildings by the elderly, and the beggars are driven to desolation by the officials.
