Chapter 2721 Good Marriage【2】
Liang Jiang laughed and said, "I gained experience through the test."
Looking at their articles again, he nodded and said: "You also did very well in the exam. We will definitely pass the exam this time."
You can say so confidently because the test questions in this subject are much simpler than the previous one... The last subject was from the Chu Dynasty, and it was Emperor Jingyuan who set the questions. The questions were quite tricky and could scare anyone who saw them. dead.
Now it was Emperor David Kailong who set the questions, and in order to take care of the candidates in the Northeast and Xinliu Cities, the questions were much simpler.
But he didn't say it out loud, so everyone knew it.
He Jinsheng was not so optimistic: "I'm afraid my department will fail again..."
He Yinsheng was anxious and asked quickly: "Did my cousin not finish the exam?"
He Jinsheng shook his head: "No, it's a matter of quota... There are too many scholars with good knowledge in Jiangnan and Jianghuai. Even if I do well in the exam, for the sake of balance, I will only take the top 100 scholars, and the rest will be divided among the others. A local scholar."
His knowledge is not good enough to rank among the top 100 in Jiangnan and Jianghuai.
He Yinsheng comforted him: "Brother, you will definitely pass the exam!"
He Jinsheng smiled: "I hope...even if I get admitted by luck, I'm afraid I will be the same as the Jinshi."
Gu Dewang sneered when he heard this: "Brother Jin Sheng, you just have too high demands on yourself? What's wrong with Tong Jinshi? As long as you can pass the exam."
Liang Jiang laughed again when he heard this: "Young boy is not picky at all, but you have a good temper. I like it."
Gu Dewang smiled: "Hey, I also like my temper. This temper can make me a versatile person."
While he was boasting, Afeng suddenly came to report: "Master Wang, it's not good, Prince Wei has led his troops to arrest you!"
"Why are you arresting me? I didn't cheat! Where are the others? Hurry, let's escape through the back door!" Gu Dewang ran away, but Wei Changfeng blocked the back door. He was caught as soon as he opened the door, and he was so angry He yelled, "I didn't commit any crime, why are you arresting me? Let go, or I'll tell Grandpa Qin to beat up your prince!"
Wei Changfeng ignored him and escorted him back to Chengguo Duke's Mansion to meet Wei Xiao.
Mr. Qin was also there, and Wei Xiao was talking to him.
When Gu Dewang arrived, he said: "Go to the military camp and stay for five days. If you learn the rules well, you will be released on the day when the results are released. If you don't learn the rules well, you will stay until the day of the palace examination before entering the city!"
Gu Dewang was furious: "I didn't break the law, why do you arrest me?"
He hurriedly asked Mr. Qin for help: "Grandpa Qin, please save me. He is so cruel. If I go to his military camp, I will die in it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, if I die, David will lose one of his pillars." !”
Mr. Qin said: "Nonsense, how could your second brother Wei let you die? He just wants you to stay in the military camp for a few days and learn the rules of entering the palace. He won't treat you badly, don't worry."
If during the palace examination, this kid also scribbled some gossip drawings about Widow Liu and Blacksmith Wang on the paper, and then was seen by the patrolling officials, that would be really... Qin Lao was a little suffocated just thinking about that picture, so Agree to Wei Xiao's proposal.
Wei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Gag your mouth and take him to the camp outside the city."
"Yes." Wei Changfeng quickly stuffed Gu Dewang's mouth with the prepared cloth, and the world immediately became quiet. He then led his troops to lift Gu Dewang, threw it on his horse, and galloped away from the city.
Gu Dewang was just thrown into the military camp. In the first two days, he made all kinds of noises, which made Kong Qianhu, who was leading him, almost draw a knife and kill him.
But in the end, after realizing that the fuss was useless, Gu Dewang started calling people uncle again, flattering people, and being miserable, so he learned the rules.
Kong Qianhu was very pleased and sent someone to report the news to Wei Xiao and praised Gu Dewang.
However, Gu Dewang is a man who can commit suicide. Although he has learned the rules well, he persists in writing in his notebook. This time he writes about the love and hatred between a pork cook named Qin Er and a restaurant boy named Liu Lang. story.
The bloody story shocked the soldiers under Kong Qianhu to the point of shattering their outlook on life.
However, everyone was moved by the ending of the story: "Although Qin Er is a porker who kills thousands of people, he is affectionate and kind to Liu Lang, which is touching."
"That's right, that's right. When I heard that Qin Erlang was fighting to redress Liu Lang's grievances, and when I heard that Qin Erlang left for a foreign country in order not to delay Liu Lang's career, I almost cried!"
Therefore, when Wei Xiao went to pick up Gu Dewang on the day when the results were released, he heard this story as soon as he entered the military camp. His body as thick as a mountain shook with anger for a long time, and no one answered him, and he directly ordered: "Break it off for me." He will be given food for two days and will be detained for another five days before being released before the palace examination!"
Damn it, Gu Dewang dared to write such a story to arrange him. If others don't know who Qin Erlang is, how can he not know it himself?
And what's going on in his head? Where did this mess of a story come from? !
Then he said: "I'm going to pass on this order. If anyone dares to tell such an immoral story again, he will be beaten with thirty military sticks!"
"Yes." The general under his command was so frightened that he quickly sent an order to the entire camp to ban the story Gu Dewang told.
Gu Dewang suffered a lot because of this, but he was like a weed that would not die out no matter how many times he was chopped down, and would dare to show up next time.
Cheng Ge'er and the others heard about what Gu Dewang had done, and snickered a bit. After silently praying for him, they happily went to celebrate Xu Zhaoming's inclusion on the gold list.
Xu Zhaoming, Qu Wenliang, and Liang Jiang were able to study hard for many years and finally passed the Gongshi examination.
Gu Dewang and Ji Shengnong ranked highest, one was in the top ten, the other was in the twelfth place, and the third was Xu Dexian. He had been carefully taught by Jiang Sheng for many years, and his knowledge was very good, and he ranked twenty-sixth in the exam.
Yan Ying and He Jinsheng also passed the exam, but their rankings were lower.
He Yinsheng did not pass the exam, but he was not depressed at all. He even comforted He Jinsheng, who was sad for him: "Brother, don't be sad. I just came to see the world. I didn't want to go to high school... and what I'm good at is math. I'll open math later." It’s not a bad idea to take the exam when the time comes, and it’s a good way to become an official. In general, there are many ways to do it, and you don’t have to feel sad about failing the exam.”
After hearing this, He Jinsheng felt ashamed: "You are right, I am too narrow-minded and I have to be more open-minded. Otherwise, even if I pass the exam, I will not be able to be an official and I will be dismissed from office and go back to the countryside."
He Yinsheng was very happy: "It would be great if my cousin could think so."
Because they passed the entrance examination, Grandpa Qin held two family banquets for the young people to have a good meal, and then studied hard behind closed doors.
Five days later, Gu Dewang was released. Apart from being a little dirty, there was nothing wrong with him. Everyone was relieved.
After he rested for four days, it was the first day of March, the day of the imperial examination.
On this day, they got up before dawn again. After various inspections, the 460 tribute soldiers entered the imperial city and arrived at the Golden Palace in the morning light.
I met Wei Qi and waited for Wei Qi to give him the test questions before starting the palace examination.
The question in the imperial examination was very general, just the word Anbang.
Most of the characters written by those who maintained their character were that if they wanted to stabilize the country, they had to pacify the country first, while the smarter ones wrote that if they wanted to stabilize the country, they had to expand the territory first. Only with strong enough force and ground for war can the territory be stabilized.
Gu Dewang liked money, so he wrote three points: expand the territory, clear the territory, and open new trade routes to enrich the people. Only when the people are rich and every family can have one meal of meat a day can the world prosper.
In order to protect this prosperity, the people of Li will do their best to help the court stabilize the territory and resist foreign enemies, so that true Anbang peace can be achieved.
Well, it's very well written, but the top prize has been decided and it's impossible to give it to you.
