Chapter 1741 Review 4.0

"What?"

Uncle Yan was so frightened that he almost lost his grip on the wine cup in his hand. Fortunately, he was good at it and the wine cup only shook slightly and the wine inside did not spill out.

Qin Zheng and Uncle Wang are not much better. Although they are not from Beijing and do not know how things are done in Xijing, if they pretend to be fake to take part in the imperial examination, if they are really exposed, many people will be implicated.

Woolen cloth!

"This..." Uncle Yan gulped, "Didn't anyone find out? He just openly used someone else's identity to take part in the imperial examination?"

"Yeah!" Mr. Jiang nodded and looked at the shocked expressions of the three people. "Don't be like this. You are shocked now. You may feel that your world is about to collapse due to the things mentioned below. To be honest, I

When I found out, I was indeed no better than you."

"Wait a minute, let's decide on a problem first." Qin Zheng thought for a while, "Just pretending to be someone else is not that easy. His household registration has to be changed. If there is a flaw in some link, he will

He will be suspected, and he will be traced. But he has been a senator for three dynasties, and his own clan is so powerful?"

"The clan surnamed Ning is very influential. How many more do you think there are?" Mr. Jiang sneered, "Isn't the Ning clan in Chaozhou very powerful?"

"It turns out to be the Ning clan of Chaozhou. No wonder they advocate that the emperor and the clan sit together in the world every day!" Qin Zheng and Yan Bo rolled their eyes at the same time, "They are used to enjoying it. Once they lose it, don't they miss it every day? But..."

"But what?" Uncle Yan looked at him, "What's the problem?"

"Yes, I was born in the south of the Yangtze River. Although I have a different clan and origin from the Qin family in Huzhou, I was not allowed to participate in the scientific examination." Qin Zheng frowned slightly, "The Ning family in Chaozhou is even worse than the Qin family in Huzhou.

, how is it possible for a clan member to take part in the scientific examination?"

Second Master Jiang saw that Uncle Wang was still confused, so he pushed Uncle Yan and motioned for him to explain.

"No, please wait a minute. He spoke too fast and I couldn't keep up." Uncle Wang patted this and then that, "First of all, please explain, is the Chaozhou Ning family very powerful? Why are you all so quick?

When you think of it, it seems very remarkable? Is it because of this clan that the old man was able to pretend to be someone else to take the scientific examination?"

"Yes, according to my subsequent investigation, his real place of origin is the Ning family in Chaozhou."

"Oh, I understand somewhat." Uncle Wang nodded, "This old man belongs to this kind of clan, right?"

"The family of Ningchang Kingdom willingly agreed to the old man taking their children's place in taking the imperial examination?" Seeing Mr. Jiang nodding, Uncle Yan sighed softly, "Is this also Ningchang Kingdom's own wish?"

"This brings us to what Lao Qin just mentioned. After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, they wanted to balance the children of such clans and the children of poor families. Therefore, there was a rule that the children of the big clans that shared the world with the previous dynasty would participate

There are restrictions on scientific examinations.”

"Restriction? What restriction? What kind of restriction is this?"

"You can restrict it by checking your household registration. It's very easy." Qin Zheng sighed softly, "That's it. The law of Daxia stipulates that only three children of a big clan can take the scientific examination in one generation. For example, mine

In the first generation, if three members of the Qin family in Huzhou take part in the scientific examination, no more descendants of the Qin family in Jiangnan can participate. Even if you have no relationship with the Qin family in Huzhou, it is not allowed. Similarly, if other people in Jiangnan

Qin family, someone in this generation took the scientific examination and took up these three places. No matter how outstanding the Qin family's children in Huzhou are, it is of no use. Of course, this restriction is only applicable in the Jiangnan area and does not apply to other places. This is because

Is this why old man Ning took advantage of the loophole?"

"The real Ningchang Kingdom is a branch of the Chaozhou Ning clan, but it has moved to Zhongzhou far away except for the fifth server. It basically has no contact with the Chaozhou Ning clan. There is another even stranger thing, that is

Old Man Ning is the same age as the real Ning Changguo, and even the date of birth is the same, and according to the parents of the real Ning Changguo, the two men have almost the same appearance, as if they were twin brothers." Jiang

The second master sighed softly, "These are unexpected blessings for the old man. In addition, Ning Changguo is not in good health and cannot take part in the imperial examination. The old man is also known as a little prodigy, so he will not take the imperial examination.

It’s simply a waste of natural resources, so…”

"Let me put it more bluntly. These centuries-old noble families and big clans basically have a very glorious history. Among the famous civil servants of all dynasties, their clan members can be found. Those great literary figures you can blurt out, basically

All come from these clans."

"Yes, with the background and connections of the Ning clan in Chaozhou, it is very easy to forge an identity for the children of the clan." Qin Zheng nodded and looked at Mr. Jiang, "But what is the origin of the real Ningchang country? Why?

Are you attracted by the Chaozhou Ning family?"

"But why did he hide his place of origin and take part in the scientific examination under his own name? Isn't the clan very influential among scholars?"

"The top class of scholars in the world is occupied by these clans. Although children from poor families can pass the scientific examination and become officials, they will still be suppressed by the children of these noble families and will not be able to truly stand out."

"I still don't understand." Uncle Wang waved his hand, "Forget it, it's not important. I can understand now that as a descendant of the Ning family in Chaozhou, the old man couldn't take part in the scientific examination, so he tried every means to borrow someone else's identity.

,right?"

"A very powerful clan." Uncle Yan sighed softly, "My family comes from a distinguished family. It took several generations until my great-grandfather and grandfather to have children from the clan participate in the scientific examination, but they were looked down upon by those traditional clans.

Azheng's family was a merchant's family. According to the laws of the previous dynasty, three generations of a merchant's family could not take scientific examinations. Later, when the Xia Dynasty was established, this rule was abolished. But in the eyes of traditional scholars,

And in the eyes of those famous families, people who come from merchant families are still not worth mentioning."

"It should be so. I don't know for sure. I just found this and the old man discovered it." Second Master Jiang looked at Qin Zheng who was thoughtful and reached out to pat him. "Why are you so lost in your thoughts?"

"You said the real Ningchang people are from Zhongzhou?"

"Yes!" Mr. Jiang nodded, "What's wrong? What did you think of?"

"If I remember correctly..." Qin Zheng looked at Mr. Jiang, "The place where the Qinglian Sect caused the most trouble back then was Zhongzhou besides Yuezhou."
