453, Yin Kaishan, Tang Monk's Grandfather (Please Order the Whole Book)

The next few days. Google search reading

Bai Gui lived temporarily in Dongting Dragon Palace.

The three dragon girls would take Bai Gui to visit the beautiful scenery of Dongting every day, entertain Bai Gui as his benefactor, and occasionally go ashore to go to Wu and Chu to visit the human world.

The two of them were like glue.

At the same time, Sanlongnu also privately passed on Bai Gui's Taoist cultivation techniques. If the Taoist scriptures are not taught by teachers, they will not be effective. But Dongting Longjun is a god, and he taught Bai Gui the skills, which is equivalent to a god imparting skills. He has been granted certain permissions, so there is no big problem in practicing through it.

However, at this moment, Bai Gui made a speech.

"You were traveling from Wuwei to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination. I met you, Sanniang, by chance, and sent a letter to you all the way. Now that you have succeeded, I should return to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination next year..."

he said.

He's not confused.

Lies must have a beginning and an end.

Before coming, he compiled the life experience of Sanlongnu, who was a scholar who went to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination. Although even if you pass the imperial examination, you may not get as much as you would from a rich woman like Sanlongnu.

But this is different.

Eating soft rice is not just a random meal, it must be done with skill. If you want to make a soft meal, you have to show your attitude that you don't plan to rely too much on the Dongting water veins.

Reaching out to ask for it and giving it away to others is a matter of course.

Also, one more thing.

Taoist Zheng was waiting for him to come out and deliver the news. Although he relied on the Dongting water vein, Taoist Zheng was somewhat dispensable. But now is not the time to break up with Zheng Daoshi.

"Bai Lang, you are going to Chang'an to take the imperial examination. The Nu family knows your aspirations and cannot hinder your future. However, you must have someone to take care of you along the way..."

The third dragon girl's pink cheeks turned red and she whispered.

Being a court official in a human dynasty seems to be subject to birth, old age, illness and death. Compared with cultivating Taoism, it is a useless task. But this is not the case. In the human dynasty, if you achieve great merit, or you are in a high position, you will practice Taoism in the future, or you will be reincarnated to practice Taoism, you will have luck to help you. There are even some court officials who, due to their integrity and other matters, will be awarded certain official positions by the heaven and receive two salaries.

Practicing with the help of human dragon energy can get twice the result with half the effort.

Some monks may spend their whole lives practicing hard, but their achievements are not as good as those of others who first experienced the mortal world, followed the official career, and then practiced Taoism for decades.

For example, Cui Gui, the judge of Fengdu, was the minister before the emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. After his death, he went to the underworld and became the judge of Fengdu in charge of the records of life and death.

"No!"

"Before the imperial examination, I should be focused on studying the scriptures diligently. If you go, Sanniang, you will definitely mess up my mind and disturb my concentration."

Bai Gui declined flatly.

The three dragon girls snorted lightly and did not defend themselves.

Bai Gui won't let her follow him, but that doesn't mean she won't meet Bai Gui accidentally in Chang'an. Anyway, there are plenty of ideas for the camp, so there is no need to argue with Bai Gui at this meeting and make both of them unhappy.

When Bai Gui was lonely and empty while studying late at night, she came to her door, her red sleeves fragrant. No matter how gentle Bai Gui was, he couldn't hold himself back. There was no reason to scold or reject her.

…

Out of Dongting Lake.

The Dragon Palace Water Mansion gave Bai Gui some jewels as a means of transportation, and also gave him a good horse as a gift of leg power.

Bai Gui rode a horse, Xin Ma was reined in, and headed north to Chang'an.

Along the way, he also looked like he was studying hard. While riding on horseback, he would occasionally take out scriptures from his bookcase and study hard. When arriving at an inn or inn, it is common to read at night by candlelight.

On the way, he met Taoist Zheng who was looking for him. Taoist Zheng was overjoyed when he heard that Bai Gui had almost taken care of the three dragon girls of Dongting Lake. Later, I heard that Bai Gui was preparing to take the imperial examination. He frowned and didn't say much. He just thought that Bai Gui was overestimating his abilities.

The imperial examination is not that easy to take.

However, Taoist Zheng did not interfere with Bai Gui and allowed Bai Gui to go to Chang'an.

This time, we were less anxious to go to Chang'an than to Dongting. It took about half a month to travel.

Finally, when it was snowing heavily in Guanzhong, we arrived in Chang'an.

If you want to act, you have to act in it. One step away is a flaw.

Before heading to Dongting, he had already rented a room at Chang'an Inn. So at this time, there is no need to be too busy looking for a place to stay.

The examinations of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province are mostly conducted in February and March of spring.

Bai Gui has long been familiar with this.

"The last time I took the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty, I was able to stay at Jinxianguan. Although the inn was good, it was inevitably a bit deserted. Without Princess Nuantan, I always felt that something was missing..."

Mingfeng Inn, Room No. 3, Di. After reading the scripture, Bai Gui smacked his lips and thought to himself.

He has long been familiar with the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, and to be honest, he doesn't need to review anything. As long as the court is not stupid, it is basically a sure thing to admit him as a Jinshi.

Over the past few days, he has read through the Confucian classics of this world.

"However, the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty are different from the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If you want to pass the examination, you must first make a name for yourself. The examiner has reviewed the examination papers, but you have not been ranked on the list of celebrities..."

Bai Gui wrote and drew on plain paper and thought. Grain

Family status, reputation, talent, timing, etc., are all key factors that may affect your success in the Imperial Examinations of the Tang Dynasty. He has no family background. He is just a Taoist priest who is affiliated with Qingshan Temple in Wuwei City. However, he has a certificate from the ancestral temple, so he is considered a serious Taoist priest, and there is no problem in the scientific examination.

Now, all he lacks is fame.

"I heard that tomorrow is Prime Minister Yin's fiftieth birthday. You and I should go back to the room and write a birthday poem for Prime Minister Yin as soon as possible. If you are respected by Prime Minister Yin, there is hope for this imperial examination."

Outside the house, in the corridor, two scholars were whispering.

The voice was kept very low, lest others hear it.

Mingfeng Inn, located in Xingrenfang, mainly entertains scholars who take the exam every year. So the name of the inn is also named Mingfeng, which means that if you don't sing, you will be amazing. At the same time, Mingfeng also has the elegant meaning of "sage".

"Prime Minister Yin?"

"It should be Yin Qiao, Yin Kaishan."

Bai Gui thought carefully after hearing this.

Yin Qiao, whose name is Kaishan, is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. In history, Yin Qiao died of illness on the way to attack Liu Heita in the fifth year of Wude. But in the world of Journey to the West, Yin Qiao did not die of illness, but now he is the Minister of Personnel and the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel. And he is also the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the history of Journey to the West, in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Chen Guangrui, the biological father of Tang Monk, passed the exam and was awarded the title of No. 1 by the emperor. When Chen Guangrui was parading in the streets, Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the prime minister Yin Kaishan, threw a ball into his heart, and the two became husband and wife.

The next morning.

The scholars who were staying at Mingfeng Inn filed out and went to Yin Mansion in unison, delivering visiting cards and birthday wishes, hoping that Yin Kaishan would appreciate their talents and invite them to the mansion for a banquet.

In the outer courtyard of Yin Mansion, two or three hundred scholars were waiting anxiously.

Although these scholars had requests, Yin Mansion did not treat them harshly, but set up a flowing banquet in the outer courtyard to invite these scholars to feast.

Of course, the dishes at the flowing banquet were undoubtedly more than one level worse than those in the inner courtyard.

Bai Gui also sat in the flowing banquet in the outer courtyard of Yin Mansion.

"Please invite Pei Ling of Wenxi Pei family to the inner courtyard to take a seat."

The doorman walked out of the moon gate separating the two courtyards and called out the names of the scholars present.

The Wenxi Pei family is a prominent family in the world. Wenxi, that is, Wenxi County, is the county of the Wenxi Pei family.

Seeing this, the scholars' hearts that had just risen to their throats fell again.

A young man in gorgeous clothes came out, bowed to the doorman, and went straight into the inner courtyard.

After a while.

Another doorman came out and shouted: "Please invite Lu Xian of the Fanyang Lu family to the inner courtyard and take a seat."

The Fanyang Lu family is one of the five surnames and seven families.

Many scholars looked miserable and shook their heads and sighed.

Although these children of generations of scholars are generally more talented than them, there is no shortage of beautiful women among the poor families. Now twice in a row, they are all children of high families. They can't help but speculate in their hearts whether this Yin Xiang is also a person who only values ​​family background and despises talent.

But the next moment, the doorman's shouting made their faces relax.

"Please invite Ma Zhou of Qinghe to the inner courtyard and take a seat."

Qinghe is Qinghe County. Qinghe County is the county of the Cui family of Qinghe, not the county of the surname Ma. So Qinghe Mazhou, Qinghe is just a registered place, not a county.

Qinghe Mazhou means a poor family.

Then, a scholar in plain clothes walked out of his seat, with a thin face, bowed to the doorman, and entered the inner courtyard.

The doorman called more than ten times in a row.

There are nobles and poor families.

But there are more nobles than poor families, only three or four.

When it came to the seventeenth time, Bai Gui was finally called.

"Please invite Wuwei Bai Gui to the inner courtyard and take a seat."

The doorman shouted.

In an instant, the scholars couldn't help but whisper to each other.

It is common for noble children to be excellent. So when they read the sons of Fan, Cui, etc., although they discussed, they were only limited to envying these people's life experience. But when it comes to the children of poor families, it means that the children of poor families have really entered the inner courtyard with real talents and knowledge, so naturally the discussion is louder and the content of the discussion is more.

"Wuwei Bai Gui? From Liangzhou? I've never heard of this man."

"Ma Zhou's handwriting is good, and he's a little famous in Chang'an. He often writes letters for dignitaries..."

Several people discussed.

Bai Gui ignored them, followed the example of the previous people, bowed, and entered the inner courtyard.

This is certainly a good opportunity for him to become famous among the poor scholars. But unfortunately, what is fame? Fame is not fame among poor students, but fame among dignitaries. Being famous among poor scholars is not real fame.

The inner courtyard is full of dignitaries.

The purple robes, scarlet robes, and green robes are all prominent court officials.
