"It's still early, why are you in a hurry? Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Yinzhen couldn't help but drag Yuzhu, then turned to call Sun Chengyun, and the three of them got on his carriage together.
In the car, Yinyu said with a smile: "You have helped me a lot today, how can I thank you?"
Yuzhu was not afraid at all that Yinzhu would play tricks on him or dig holes to deceive others, but he was worried that Yinzhu would act arrogantly.
The emperor's own son cannot be scolded, let alone beaten. He will be in trouble no matter what, so it is better to avoid getting into trouble.
"Master Twelve, you just did what you should do, so why do you need any thanks? It's not worth it at all."
Pretending to be stupid is Yuzhu's specialty.
Perhaps due to the special stimulation of Lao Wu, Yinyu suddenly sighed: "I'm just a short-term poor brother. The little gadgets I hide can't compare to someone else's foot."
Hey, it's really rare for the dignified prince's brother to say sour and jealous words in front of Yuzhu.
Sun Chengyun knew that Yuzhu had his lungs and trachea blocked by Yinzhu, and no matter how he spoke, he would inevitably be suspected of looking down on others.
"Twelfth Master, as the old saying goes, a tough man knows his loyal ministers, and a strong wind knows his strong grass. The grass is still growing at this time, so take your time?"
As soon as Sun Chengyun said these words, Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Well done, the cooperation was so tacit.
Objectively speaking, Sun Chengyun's words have several hidden meanings. Among them, the most important point is that there is still a long time, why are you anxious, my twelfth master?
No matter how Yinzhen interprets it, Sun Chengyun's words are reasonable and cannot be easily refuted.
In the end, perhaps Yinyu figured it out on his own and did not take Yuzhu to the secret spot he secretly arranged.
Halfway along the way, Yinzhu let Yuzhu and Sun Chengyun get off the bus, turned around and went back to the palace.
"Oh, hey, I'm a little darling, it's so exciting." Sun Chengyun took out the cotton handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped several small beads of sweat from his forehead.
Yuzhu looked at Sun Chengyun's exaggerated behavior and just smiled without saying a word.
There are some things that you only need to understand in your heart, but speaking out may seem like you are not affectionate enough.
This time, if Sun Chengyun hadn't taken the risk of offending Yinzhen and took the initiative to block Yuzhu's arrow, the consequences would have been really unpredictable.
Once Yuzhu goes to the secret base that the prince's elder brother hides in private, he will completely lose his room for maneuver.
As long as he goes there, Yuzhu has only two choices: those who follow the rules will live, and those who go against the rules will go and lie down at Wudaokou.
In history, Longkodo not only knew too many royal secrets that he shouldn't know, but he also wanted to hold onto those things that he shouldn't have.
How could Yongzheng, who had always been a tough guy, tolerate such threats?
In this cannibal society, if you know too much, you will lose your head.
After that day, Yuzhu returned to his previous state. When he came back from studying at Tang Bing's house, he went to study hard in his study.
In mid-July, the imperial court issued an edict stating that the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination would be held on the ninth day of August at the Shuntian Prefecture Gongyuan in Chongwenmen.
The Shuntianfu Provincial Examination, since the founding of the Kingdom of China, has always arranged super high-level examiners and deputy examiners.
In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, the main examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination of Yiyouke was Li Guangdi, a bachelor of Wenyuange and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. There were two deputy examiners, namely Xi Erda, the Minister of Manchu of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Zhishan, the censor of Zuo Fudu.
, forming a pattern of two Han and one Manchu.
In the rural examination, Manchen was appointed as the deputy examiner, and the focus was on monitoring Hanchen examiners. Is there any conspiracy to commit fraud?
After the edict was issued, the chief and deputy examiners, as well as the inner and outer examiners, including the supervisor, were all sent to the Gongyuan of Shuntian Prefecture.
From then on, they lived and ate in Gongyuan, and they were not allowed to come out until the results of the provincial examination were announced to prevent cheating.
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, many examiners have lost their heads due to cheating cases in rural examinations.
Objectively speaking, the imperial court has been developing endless means to prevent fraud in the imperial examinations.
However, as high as the Tao is, so is the devil.
The benefits of passing the provincial examination are really too great, and there are always people who are desperate and want to bet on a big one.
"If I remember correctly, Li Guangdi was born as a second-class Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi. After his concubine left the academy, he was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy. In that year, when the three feudal lords rebelled, Chen Menglei and Li Guangdi made an appointment.
Chen Menglei pretended to be a rebel, sneaked into Geng Jingzhong's camp, secretly investigated the truth, and then reported to the court through Li Guangdi. As a result, Chen Menglei narrowly escaped death and obtained Geng Niang's confidential military information. However, there was no mention of Chen Menglei at all in the memorial written by Li Guangdi.
After defeating San Francisco, Chen Menglei was sentenced to death and almost lost his head." Tang Bing's memory is amazingly good, and he clearly remembers Li Guangdi becoming a Jinshi thirty-five years ago.
.
Yuzhu listened with great interest. Hey, who doesn't like to hear this kind of gossip about old Huang Li's important ministers?
"Hey, Yuzhu, you are a blessed person. Think about it, Li Guangdi, after being accused of being a greedy friend, not only was he not demoted and sent back to his hometown, but he was repeatedly promoted and promoted. Li Guangdi's position today is extremely high.
Being a minister relies on real talent and practical knowledge, coupled with smoothness." Tang Bing stroked his beard and chuckled softly, "I originally thought that if you passed the provincial examination, it would be like picking something out of a bag, and as for solving the problem, it would depend on luck. Now, I
I am more than 90% sure that as long as you finish the test paper smoothly and make no mistakes, the title of Mr. Jie Yuangong will be successfully put on your head."
"My dear teacher, why do you see this?" After all, Yu Zhu didn't know much about the court ministers, so he asked Tang Bing a little strangely.
"Haha, I'll just keep it a secret for the time being. I'll tell you later when the provincial examination results are released, okay?" Tang Bing still had the temperament to whet his appetite after reading too much.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, he really didn't care whether he understood the Yuan or not. He was a fifteen-year-old Manchu Jinshi for the first time since the imperial dynasty. This alone was enough to take advantage of him.
As for getting the first prize, getting the top prize, or even winning the third prize, it's just the icing on the cake.
The most important thing is to successfully pass the exam and successfully win the Jinshi. Don't make any mistakes.
Tang Bing had extraordinary eyesight, and he had long seen Yuzhu's small thoughts, which only sought practical benefits, not false fame.
"Look, you are the leader of the college examination, first class in the annual examination, and first in the scientific examination. If you pass the provincial examination and understand Yuan Gong, you will be considered a junior four yuan." Tang Bing habitually stopped.
In fact, Yuzhu has been thinking about becoming a rocket official all day long. How could he not know these things?
However, the admission rankings for the Provincial Examination, the General Examination and the Imperial Examination are so unpredictable that it is impossible to accurately grasp them.
Not to mention anything else, in every imperial examination since the 20th year of Kangxi, the ranking of the top ten listed by the examiners would be changed beyond recognition by Kangxi.
Winning six yuan in a row looks beautiful, but is actually out of reach.
Yuzhu's temperament has always been that it is better to have one bird in hand than to have hundreds of birds in sight.
This is like a stock with a market value of tens of billions, but it is likely to drop to worthless overnight.
Tang Bing knew that Yu Zhu did not believe his analysis. However, he already felt confident in his heart.
A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out.
Military generals in peacetime, no matter how outstanding their previous military achievements are, will never be able to defeat the civil servant group.
Why is this?
Isn't it just that the civil servants are extraordinarily clever, and their plans to dig holes and persecute people are extremely far-reaching?
"I have planned the provincial examination for you. All you need to do tomorrow is bring the tools you need to take the exam. Come to me first, and I will take you to a place." Tang Bing showed a mysterious smile, smiling too much
It was so weird that Yuzhu could not help but feel chills running down his spine.
Early the next morning, Tang Bing took Yuzhu and took a bus to Daxing County.
The carriage went more and more remote, and Yuzhu was very calm and didn't even ask, where are we going?
Tang Bing was a member of Longkodo's party who had the word "long" written on his forehead. He could not have tricked anyone but Longkodo's biological son.
After arriving at the place, Yuzhu got out of the car and took a look. What a good place for killing people and stealing goods.
This is a small, lonely house. The house is surrounded by wasteland and there is no human habitation at a glance.
"Follow me in." Tang Bing's smile became even brighter.
Yuzhu followed Tang Bing and passed through the screen wall. Oh, in the middle of the small courtyard, there stood a standard Gongyuan examination building.
"Oh, my master, please bow to me as a disciple." When Yuzhu saw this obviously newly built examination room, he understood instantly and immediately bowed and saluted.
Yuzhu was really moved.
Tang Bing racked his brains and thought so that he could successfully win the election, and his intentions were really good.
"Haha, with your shrewdness, you must have understood everything after just one look at this examination room, right?" Tang Bing smiled with his beard and accepted Yu Zhu's gift calmly.
He deserves Yuzhu's worship!
"Don't mention anything else. Everything is based on the rules of the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination." Tang Bing smiled proudly and added, "It's just that I made some clever arrangements based on the worst examination environment. You
Just bear with it."
"Yes. Thank you so much, master. I don't dare to say thank you anymore. That's too vulgar!" Yuzhu really had nothing to say.
So, under Tang Bing's personal gaze, Yuzhu carried the examination basket and came in from the door of the house again.
Four servants of the Tang family followed the rules of Gongyuan without any ambiguity, and carefully searched Yuzhu's body inside and out.
Perhaps Tang Bing had told him in advance that these servants deliberately turned over the things Yuzhu had brought and made them a terrible mess.
Since it was a 100% realistic simulation of the provincial examination, no matter how uncomfortable Yuzhu felt, he could only hold his nose and endure it.
Fortunately, Yuzhu already had experience in the hospital examination. The clothes he wore today were all single clothes without layers.
But even so, his clothes were still stitched open by the servants of Tang Mansion using small scissors.
The small stove brought by Yuzhu was also messed with from the inside out several times.
The dozen or so raw chickens (eggs) in the examination basket were "accidentally" thrown to the ground by a servant. Egg yolks and whites were everywhere on the ground.
The boiled chicken in plain water was quietly put into his sleeve by a servant.
The green vegetables used for the soup noodles were also torn into small pieces and looked like pulp.
After finally passing the body search, Yuzhu was surprised to find that the two wooden boards in the examination room not only had big holes in them, but were also extremely dirty.
Fortunately, Yuzhu brought a rag. After moistening the cotton rag with water, Yuzhu wiped it three times and finally cleaned the two wooden boards.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuzhu sat down on a wooden board and was about to take a breath, a nauseating stench suddenly hit his nose.
Yuzhu looked around and saw, what a guy, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
I saw several buckets of excrement and urine that had been fully fermented and covered with white maggots placed in front of the two Tangfu servants.
The two servants pinched their noses and took the cattail fans in their hands to blow the stench into Yuzhu's examination room with great force.
