In the prosperous capital city, pedestrians are coming and going on the streets, including many scholars who have come to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination. After all, ten years of hard study depends on today's achievements. Every scholar looks nervous, success or failure depends on today, can he or she succeed?
I don’t have to worry about high school for the rest of my life.
There were many people standing on the street outside the examination room. Several guards were arranging candidates to enter the examination room. On the wide official road, a carriage came. The carriage stopped near the examination room and two people got out of it.
This young man was Wentian Yu, Zhu Houzhao and his party who dared to come to see the imperial examination.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang, the examination room is in front of you. The candidates have all entered the examination room now. We can only watch from outside." Liu Jin said with a happy face.
Wen Tianyu looked in the direction of the examination room. This was the first time he had seen the imperial examination. If he hadn't been a prince now, he would have really wanted to try to see if he could be the top scholar in high school. He pondered for a moment and said, "Tell everyone, let's go and have a look."
"
At this time, a pale-faced scholar panted and ran to the guard, "The pleading voice said; Sir, I came a little late because I felt cold, Sir, can you let me in?"
The guard looked at the pale-faced scholar and said displeasedly, "If you come late, you won't be able to go in again. Just wait until next time! Depending on your age, you can still participate if you wait ten years."
When the scholar heard the guard's answer, he felt unwilling. He had studied hard for ten years! The scholar begged with a cry, but the guard ignored him, and the other guard couldn't bear to look at it, but it was not easy to handle. Look at this
The scholar should have some money! As long as he gives his companion a little money, he can still get in. "So he said, "Hey, there is no way to get in." The guard made two gestures with his right hand.
When his companion saw what he was doing, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, you can get in with only ten taels of silver, how about it?"
After hearing this, the scholar immediately understood what they meant, but he still had some money. He brought more than ten taels of silver with him when he came, but he had spent seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars because he stayed in hotels and ate on the way.
"Sir, I, I don't have any money, please just let me in!"
Wen Tianyu, Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and others also rushed over and happened to see all this. Liu Jin and others were just watching the excitement. They had seen many such things and others did not care about their own affairs.
Zhu Houzhao was different. He usually liked to meddle in other people's business, but he also felt sympathy for the scholar. He knew the hardships of studying. Why study? Isn't it just to take the imperial examination so that he can go to high school?
"Zhu Houzhao said with a sullen face: You two know clearly that he has no money, but you still want to make things difficult for him. Besides, the imperial examination has just begun and there is no formal test yet. Why don't you let this scholar in?
Wen Tianyu watched Zhu Houzhao go up to speak, and smiled bitterly, but did not stop his behavior. He also felt worthless for the scholar. Even if Zhu Houzhao didn't care, he would still take care of it.
When the two guards saw a boy of 14 or 15 speaking for the scholar, they said with displeasure in their hearts: That blind guy is in charge of the uncle's business. If the uncle says he won't let in, then he won't let in, hum!
"you you..."
When Zhu Houzhao heard the guard say this, he had experienced such anger, and even his father would not say this about him, and his face suddenly turned red with anger!
Upon seeing this, Liu Jin quickly stepped forward and cursed: "How dare you, dare to be right, too, uh, my young master is so unreasonable, are you tired of living?" He almost revealed the identity of the prince because of a slip of the tongue.
Wen Tianyu was also unhappy at this time. It was okay for the prince to be angry, so he took out a waist badge and said, "I asked your examiner, Han Wen, to come out and see me."
The guard was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the waist badge and didn't recognize it. How had a little guard like him seen any high-ranking official's waist badge? But he didn't dare to be careless. What if it was true?
This man actually knew the examiner Han Wen. It seemed that he was really not an ordinary person. After thinking about it, he offended his friend just now and was in big trouble. So the guard immediately changed his expression and said respectfully, "Uh, I'm sorry, it's the little one."
Damn it, go and ask the examiner to come out. After saying that, the two of them ran towards the examination room.
Wen Tianyu and his party were waiting outside. Zhu Houzhao stamped his feet angrily and said, "If they hadn't been incognito, I would have had them beaten dozens of times. It really pissed me off."
The white-faced scholar saw a few people coming to help him out, and he felt excited and grateful. Oh, there are still good people! The person who came here just took a waist card and scared away the two guards. These people must be from high-ranking officials.
's children.
So the scholar came forward with a grateful look on his face and said, "Thank you so much, gentlemen, for your help. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. If I lose the opportunity to take the imperial examination, I might as well just die. This is such a great kindness."
I will never forget it, and no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely do my best."
At this time, the two guards came back, and there was a middle-aged man in blue official uniform in front of him. He was the examiner Han Wen. Wen Tianyu had seen him several times before. "Seeing Han Wen walked up to Zhu Houzhao and said respectfully: I don't know.
Mr. Zhu and Mr. Wang are here, but I hope they won't blame you if they miss you.
Han Wen, of course, knew that the people in front of him were the Crown Prince and Prince Xiaoyao. Looking at their outfits, he immediately knew that the Crown Prince and Prince were out to play incognito. He did not reveal their identities and only addressed them as Young Master.
Wen Tianyu looked at Han Wen and said, "Master Han, you are too worried. Mr. Zhu and I were just out for fun. We happened to come here to have a look. We happened to meet this scholar who was coming to take the exam. He came late because he felt cold.
Just let him in! After all, ten years of hard study cannot be in vain, and besides, the court is also employing people."
"Haha, what Mr. Wang said is that I will arrange for him to come in right now." Han Wen said with a smile.
Han Wen turned his head and said sternly to the two guards: "Why don't you two bring this scholar in quickly?"
The guard was already in panic at this time. Even the examiner was so respectful to these two gentlemen. Now he was hit by a stone and did not dare to say anything. He just waited for the scholar to hurry in.
When the scholar saw that he could go in, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir. Yan Song will definitely remember your great kindness and virtue." The scholar bowed respectfully and followed the guard into the examination room.
