The time for one is coming soon, and the imperial examination that will take one month to prepare for is also coming soon.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, only people from Si, Yong, and three prefectures, as well as some from Yanzhou and Henan prefectures, came to participate.
However, despite being so busy, it cannot resist the enthusiasm of the poor scholars from these states. Now, all the inns in Luoyang are full, but the number of people is still increasing.
In fact, although only scholars from the five states of Si, Yong, Bing, Yan, and Henan were able to catch up to participate in this imperial examination, there were scholars from all over the world on their way to Luoyang, but the number of states was different. This time they could not catch up.
, isn’t there a next time!
They can't catch up this time, but for them, it's enough to catch up next time.
Although the princes in various states are secretly anxious and don't want these talents to leave in vain, this kind of thing cannot be blocked unless they also open the imperial examination.
Otherwise, forcibly blocking will only arouse the resentment of these talented people, and may end up with a loss that outweighs the gain.
Although the current standard for becoming an official is not the same as in the period of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, the upper-ranked people did not have poor families and the lower-ranked people did not have aristocratic families, but in fact, the opportunity to become an official is still within the control of aristocratic families, large and small.
A mediocre kid from a big family can easily achieve an official position that even a kid from a humble family who is ten times better than him cannot achieve even if he works ten times harder.
This is true for children from poor families, let alone common people. Of course, there are not many real talents among common people.
Out of the importance he attached to this imperial examination, Li Xiang was generous and issued an order directly. Anyone who was registered to participate in this imperial examination would have their travel arrangements and their food and lodging in Luoyang covered by the imperial court.
It was said that it was the imperial court, but Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no money. Li Xiang still had to pay the final bill from his own pocket.
Moreover, in the past few days, city guards have been patrolling the streets of Luoyang City every day. The leader is the peerless peak level Kuafu, and there are also Magic Li Qing, Magic Li Hong, Magic Li Hai, and Magic Li Hai.
Li Shou is assisted by four peerless warriors.
This time, not only the liberal arts were held, but martial arts were also held at the same time.
If those warriors were really drunk or had a quarrel, it would be normal for them to have a fight on the spot. Therefore, during this period, it was necessary to send a large number of city guards to maintain order in the city.
This is the first imperial examination. If the order in Luoyang City cannot be maintained well and causes some chaos, it will really become a joke.
"Brother Ying Xiang, the registration period ends in three days, why are you running?" A young man in blue said helplessly to a young man in black in front of him. And beside this young man in blue, there were two other people who looked slightly younger.
young man.
These four people are all dressed like warriors, and they are riding tall horses. If someone has seen it, they will definitely be able to tell that these four young men are riding war horses, and they are all very sophisticated.
War horse.
Even if this kind of war horse is placed in the army, only the most elite troops can equip it, such as Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry, or Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Army.
Ordinary people can't get a war horse like this, let alone give a war horse of this level to their juniors to ride.
"Brother Qingjie, I heard that this imperial examination has attracted a lot of talents from several nearby states. I think it must be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" The young man in black said excitedly.
Looking at this young man in black, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has a strong back and a strong back. On the back of his horse, a pair of sledgehammers are quietly placed there. They are probably the weapons of this young man in black.
At such a young age, he can wield such a sledgehammer, which shows that this young man is definitely not weak in martial arts.
Although this young man in black is still unknown, his father's name is well known to people all over the world. He is also a famous general of the Jin army, Yue Fei, one of the six governors. Speaking of this,
You must know who this young man is without having to say it explicitly, right?
The remaining three young men are three brothers. Like the father of the young man in black, their father's name is equally resounding throughout the world, even more famous than the father of the young man in black.
Similarly, their father was also one of the six major governors of the Jin army, and their father was Su Liesu Dingfang, the major governor of Liangzhou.
These boys are all about the same age, they are basically fifteen or sixteen years old. This is the time when young people have grown up and are high-spirited. It is time to go to the military to experience and practice. It just so happens that a martial arts competition is going to be held this time, so
, Su Lie and Yue Fei simply wrote a letter, telling the boys in Luoyang to remember to register for the martial arts exam in the past few days.
And coincidentally, the mansions of these two families in Luoyang City were very close to each other, and the two groups of people just happened to run into each other as they walked out of the street.
At this time, by looking at the other party's posture, you can already guess what the other party is going to do even before you ask!
"I heard from Uncle Xingtian that even the generals of the royal family have signed up for this martial arts competition!" Su Qingjie said lazily.
"Oh, really?" After hearing this, Yue Yun became energetic and asked again with high spirits.
"I told you, this is what Uncle Xingtian told me, so it can't be wrong!" Su Qingjie waved his hand and said, in order to get this information, he pestered Uncle Xingtian for quite a while.
"Okay, it seems that this martial arts competition is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I can have a good fight!" Yue Yun said excitedly.
If the general of Prince Jin's Palace is not strong enough, how could Prince Jin easily release him to participate in this martial arts competition. Otherwise, if this person does not get a good result, the Palace will still lose him.
s face.
"I told you, you kid, you should be more careful. Uncle Xingtian said that that person is not weak! Being able to make Uncle Xingtian say he is not weak is not something we can deal with now!" Su Qingjie's younger brother, Su Baotong, interrupted.
road.
Among the three brothers of the Su family, the strongest one is not the eldest, Su Qingjie, but the youngest, Su Baotong, whose swordsmanship is quite classy.
Xingtian, Su Lie, and Yue Fei were all from the Bingzhou faction. Su Lie was the son of Su Yong, a veteran of Bingzhou, and had known Xingtian since childhood. Although Yue Fei joined the Jin army later, he joined after the attack on Hetao.
Therefore, the relationship between these people has always been good.
Xing Tian accidentally heard that these juniors were going to participate in the martial arts competition. In addition, he had watched these boys grow up, so he did not violate his principles anyway, so he gave them a few more words.
