“Grandpa!“
Chukang, he is not our grandpa, no!"
Xue Xin was so busy that he covered his brother's mouth and then tried to cover his sister.
At the same time, there were indeed several creditors who commanded their servants to chase Xue Ling. There were indeed some powerful people who were willing to gamble and come to the imperial examination.
"Did you see that person? He is dressed in brown linen, with small eyes and a sharp mouth." Lao Liang ran a few steps and whispered to Jiang Hai, who was dressed as a salesman, "I will send him away, you wear his clothes to see who sent him.
"
"good."
Lao Liang raised his hand and made a gesture, and some of their people scattered nearby quickly moved to separate the creditors.
These people are all called "guys", but in fact they are all spies and thugs under Du Daxi Yingying.
Jiang Hai fell behind silently.
After leaving the imperial city and setting up the gate, brothers Tian Shengong and Tian Shenyu were chatting with the two patrol envoys of Jinwu Guard, leaving Jinwu Guard no one to pay attention to Xue Ling, who was being pulled to look at Xue Ling who was escaping in a hurry.
Jiang Hai was somewhat envious of the Tian brothers, thinking that if Xue Baifang became a high-ranking official, he would be able to give them a clear identity.
He walked leisurely all the way to the vicinity of Dongshi. Lao Liang deliberately got rid of all the pursuers and disappeared into the crowd with Xue Ling.
The thin figure in brown linen lost pursuit of the person, scratched his head, turned around and walked towards Shengyefang in the north.
Jiang Hai followed all the way, and finally came to the small side door of a huge mansion.
After waiting for a moment, five servants in brown linen clothes entered the big house.
Finally, Jiang Hai went around to the gate to inquire about it. He couldn't help but grinned and went back to Daozhengfang to inform Xi Yingying.

“Zhang Si?“
In the afternoon, Du Miao learned the result and was a little surprised.
Her first reaction was that Dong Gong had done this again, but then she thought about it and felt a little confused.
"The owner of the house, Li Tan, is Zhang Si's son-in-law." Da Xi Yingying said: "I know this couple very well. They often come to my gambling house. Zhang Si needless to say, the eldest sister of the prince Liangdi Zhang Ting is Li Tan.
He was born in the Li family of Zhao County and has a noble status."
“Then what do you think?”
“From the surface, it’s just a trivial matter so far. Anyone can do it to spread rumors in order to compete for a Jinshi spot. For the time being, it can only be said that Zhang Si wants to take the opportunity to find Xue Ling.”
Da Xi Yingying said, take a look, spread out the account book in his hand, and handed it to Du Miao.
"Er Niang may not believe it, but let me tell you the simplest guess first. Zhang Si is one of Xue Ling's big creditors. Even if it is just for the money of nearly one thousand guan with principal and interest, she would not hesitate to send someone to find Xue Ling.
Excusable."
This account is shocking. Xue Ling's family property is only 1,000 yuan, but he can owe such a huge debt.
Of course, Zhang Si does not necessarily need Xue Ling to repay him. For example, he could ask General Xue Hui of the Jinwu Guard to owe her a favor, and at least he could get the privilege of walking under the curfew.
“But it’s more likely.” Da Xi Yingying changed the subject, “Someone doesn’t want Lang Jun to get married smoothly and wants to cause him some trouble.

South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites.
The scholars had already begun to study the scriptures, and the whole south courtyard became quiet, with the sound of rolling papers occasionally being heard.
Sutra pasting is similar to filling in the blanks of famous quotes. Jinshi's sutra pasting is simpler than that of Ming Jing. It only tests the content of one sutra. Ten questions are asked, and five out of ten can be passed. The full version???????
???.????
Xue Bai had already received the test questions, and knew that the subject of the test today was "Zhou Rites", so he had reviewed and memorized it in advance. When he opened the paper, he saw that it was indeed the case.
He calmly sharpened his ink, picked up his pen, and filled in the missing sentences with beautiful calligraphy.
After filling in the sixth sentence, there is a small trap,
The text passages given in the volume are "The princes of the state and the city patrol the country by handing over the palms of hands" and "The moral considerations of the Taoist king",
Xue Bai then filled in “and the gathering of all the peoples”.
When writing the word "民", he was careful not to fill up the vertical line, but left a gap to avoid mentioning Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Wrong one or two questions doesn't matter, it will affect the ranking at most; while mistakes such as dirty papers and typos will give people an excuse to attack. Although Genu has no choice but to allow him to pass, he will not speak for him; if he even avoids taboos,
If you don't understand it, then you can't even think about getting the status promised by the saint as a joke, and it's impossible to pass.
Xue Baizi filled in the ten questions carefully, but he made three mistakes in the middle, so he wrote it again and then checked repeatedly to see if the name and place of origin were filled in correctly to ensure that there would be no taboos.
At this point, he just put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.
He made complete preparations, starting from finding his family background, to competing for fame and holy family, and even got the questions in advance.
But he still behaved very cautiously.
Many people in the examination room have already handed in their papers. Those who can’t answer the questions at this time basically don’t know how to answer them. There’s nothing you can do about scratching your head and scratching your head.
However, there are indeed many crazy people in the Tang Dynasty. Several candidates did not answer a word. When the papers were collected, they just brazenly said that their poems and poems were unparalleled in the world, and they wanted to use their poems and poems to redeem their grades. The so-called "redemption grades" were also used in the Tang Dynasty examinations.
As a common practice, some scholars with high reputations had already planned to be admitted to the list, but in the end they failed to pass the examination. The examiner had no choice but to let them pass by writing poems.
In Xue Bai's opinion, this is blatant cheating.
.*..
The next day’s test was on policy questions.
Xue Bai got the paper and unfolded it. His eyes first fell on the first policy question.
"Question: Tubo has been worried about the Tang Dynasty for a long time. If it prepares for its defense, it will attack hundreds of thousands of soldiers from all over the world. It will lament about its parents and wives and bother to provide food and clothing, and the people will be in vain. If it fails to prepare for its defense, it will be defeated.
During my time, I attacked the city, captured the towns, plundered the children of jade and silk, killed the old and the weak, and finally returned with the strong ones. Since ancient times, have emperors not had the strategy to kill the barbarians and the Di? How can the border not be as safe as this? Zi and other treasures are hidden.
When the time comes, I will present my talents and respond to orders, record the history of ancient and modern affairs, and prepare detailed offensive and defensive strategies. "
Looking at the next four policy questions, they are indeed the same as the test questions he got. If the emperor really asked seriously about the situation in Tubo, Xue Bai would give an answer based on Tubo's climate, topography, religion, people's livelihood and other aspects. According to his opinions,
To destroy Tubo, it would take time, decades, or even two or three generations. However, in fact, Li Longji had already made a plan in his mind. He didn't even listen to Wang Zhongsi's suggestions. How could he listen to a few scholars?
?
This is just another trap.
Today's policy test not only tests the scholars' knowledge and insight, but also their sense of proportion.
Xue Bai cared about his own future and did not talk too much. He followed the emperor's wishes and answered with his pen.
The articles answered are all the most useful sentences summarized by veterans in the examination field.
I would like to respond to you: I heard that the jade crossbow hangs down, shining with power in the purple latitude; the golden precepts condense the murderous spirit in the sky. Your Majesty is loyal to the orders of the gods, and obeys the wishes of the subordinates. He is always called a god unexpectedly.
The package is mixed to become the Tao. The whole original form is then transported by heaven and earth, the sun and the moon to come to it, thunder, rain, and fire are released to educate it, morality, benevolence and righteousness are preached to appease it, and rituals and punishments are arranged.
Government to suppress it.
"Policy making day: Think of the advisers to control the enemy and attack the Zun group; ask for the name of the general to guard the border and subdue the soldiers. Chen Tang killed Shanyu, Fu Jiezi assassinated Loulan, Feng Fengshi defeated Shache, and Ban Chao determined the Western Region.
, are all due to the great achievements of the Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was brilliant, and heroes emerged in large numbers. In the past, it was believed that the great expedition to Beidi and the Qing barbarian chiefs were conquered. The herds of horses did not dare to go south. Now the army in Longban is at the stone fort, which is dangerous and dangerous...
In short, it is a policy question written in a eloquent manner. From the employment of personnel to the garrison of troops, it is all about praising virtues and virtues. It is an old strategy and has no new ideas.
ˆˆNN
It was getting dark. In the main hall of the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, officials were busy collecting papers, while the examiners climbed up to the pavilion and looked down, just enough to catch a glimpse of the people who were answering questions in the room.
Da Xixun did not look at the scholars, but sat down by the low table, made tea with his own hands, and observed the officials in the pavilion.
The list has actually been drawn up. Although it is decided by the right minister, he is a reasonable person and can basically satisfy all parties.
Imperial relatives, famous families, and even political opponents in the court all have recommended scholars. The game and exchange has been completed before the exam starts. Just make some simple adjustments in the exam room to determine the ranking to achieve what Xi Jun cares about most.
On the contrary, it was Yang Zhao, the new censor Zhongcheng, who insisted on letting his son take the Ming Jing exam and refused to avoid suspicion. If the matter went wrong, it would affect his reputation.
“The left prime minister is here.”
With this call, Chen Xilie climbed up to the pavilion with a graceful manner. He waved his hands with a smile to tell everyone not to be polite, and then asked Cui Qiao: "Is everything going well?"
Since the beginning of the exam, Cui Qiao's face has always been gloomy. When he heard this, he raised his head and simply said: "It's okay."
He is the legitimate son of the Cui family in Qinghe. His father Cui Rongnai was an important minister in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Together with Su Weiwei, Li Jiao and Du Shenyan, they were collectively known as the "Four Friends of Articles" and were famous all over the world; his mother was born in the Du family in Jingzhao.
In short, he has an extraordinary background, and is a person less involved in party disputes in the current court. Although he is polite to Li Linfu, he is not completely attached to him, and he even looks down upon Chen Xilie.
"The sage gave Xue Bai a status, so this matter can only be like this." Chen Xilie said: "How is his practice of adhering to the scriptures?"
Nine out of ten, the best." Cui Qiao replied lightly, "You are actually quite talented." Chen Xilie didn't care about this distant attitude, he stroked his beard and praised, turned to Yang Zhao and asked with a smile: "I heard that Xue Bai is still here
Not married, but really?"
Yang Zhao laughed loudly and responded: "The Prime Minister Zuo intends to marry the young lady in the family to my sworn brother? But don't forget that the saint wants to marry him."
Hearing this, Cui Qiao suddenly said: "Yang Zhongcheng, since your son and sworn brother have all taken the exam, shouldn't you avoid suspicion?"
“Haha, I won’t mark the papers. I’ll just review them once you decide on the list.”
"It is best not to provoke criticism." Cui Qiao was a little worried and said, "We can send a censor to come forward. As for the list, it will be reviewed by Yang Zhongcheng after he has reviewed it."
Yang Zhao was indeed impatient. He recruited Yang Guangxiang, the censor, and ordered him to stay in Gongyuan and keep an eye on the list to ensure that the Yang party had selected the candidates. If there was any problem, go to Nanqu to find him immediately.
Yang Guang was Yang Zhao's confidant and immediately responded: "Don't worry, Zhongcheng. The lower officials will watch. There will be no surprises."
·.,
Cui Qiao stood up, walked to the railing and looked at Yang Zhao's back. Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Speaking of the saint's thoughts,
I heard something and I would like to ask the Prime Minister."
Chen Xilie said with a smile: "It's okay for Mr. Cui to just ask."
“I heard that the saint once wanted to give the son-in-law who was enshrined in the palace a Jinshi, so the right prime minister ordered Zhongshu Sheng to deny the matter.
The way to select talents for a country should not be abandoned based on the excellence of divine grace. Now why do you choose Xue Bai as the number one scholar before taking the exam? "
“I have never heard of this matter.” Chen Xilie waved his hand and refused to talk about the saint and the right minister.
Cui Qiao saw his attitude and turned to Da Xi to inquire.
Da Xixun, whose official position was not as high as his, smiled, whispered the truth, and said, "Mr. Cui, you should know that saints' thoughts may be true or false."
That Xue Lang is the leader, is it true? Is it false?"
Da Xixun was stunned. At this moment, the clerks collected Ce Wen's papers and interrupted their conversation.
The examiners found a few important papers and read them first. Da Xixun pointed at Xue Bai's well-prepared policy essay and said with a smile: "It's a good article. The writing is also good. In this way, the saint's intention is true or false."
, isn’t it clear at a glance?”
Cui Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and nodded.
“Let’s eat.”
It was night, and the examiners went to the capital hall of Shangshu Province for a meal. The hall was brightly lit with candles, and the dining table was filled with delicacies.
This was provided by the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Xilie, as left prime minister and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was specifically responsible for this matter.
Chen Xilie has no power over the quota, but he has to give Li Linfu a few more words of advice.
"When reviewing the policy questionnaire, be sure to check whether there are any officials who criticize the government and attack the governor. If the guard is not strict and the news reaches the ears of the saint, we will resign!"
"Don't worry, Minister Zuo, this matter is a top priority and we will treat it with caution!"
"Good, good, good." Chen Xilie smiled and said, "Everyone has a taste of this fish breast."
After finishing his errands, he slowly sat down and started chatting with Da Xixun. He asked curiously: "Why is Cui Qiao so preoccupied and asking so many irrelevant questions?"
“I think he was worried that if he nodded to Xue Bai, others would say that he would only obey the holy will. He was also worried that the Right Prime Minister’s Office did not want Xue Bai to be on the list, so he just gave some words to test him.”
“He is a man who knows how to be an official.” Chen Xilie commented.
Da Xijun smiled twice, but he couldn't help but secretly scolded him in his heart:
: “Look at what Zuo Xiang said, there is no one else in the court who understands the “way of being an official” better than you.”
….
The next day, the test was on poetry.
The Tang Dynasty paid the most attention to poetry, so this was the most important of the three exams.
When the time came, the title board of poems and poems was taken to the pavilion on the second floor. Cui Qiao, the examiner, took a look at it first. He nodded and said, "Please take a look at it, Prime Minister Zuo."
Chen Xilie came here to kill time and said with a smile: "Do I have any objections to the questions set by the examiner? But from this look, it is really a good question. It's a good question."
“Okay.” Cui Qiao said, “Let’s put the topic.
“The exam begins!“
“Let’s put the topic!“
A title board was hung on the second floor so that the scholars in the two buildings could see it, and at the same time, a clerk read the title loudly.
In previous years, the scientific examination sometimes examined poetry, sometimes poetry, and sometimes both poetry and poetry. This Jinshi subject of Tianbao Seventh Year is a examination of poetry and poetry.
"The title of the poem "Jian Zhishui Fu" is rhymed with "clearing the void and accepting the light, meeting the fractal form of the image", and the rhyme does not need to be used in sequence."
Xue Bai was sitting in the room. Hearing this, there was an inexplicable smile in his eyes.
Because Yan Yan had already written the poem for him, it was all in his mind at this time.
“Those who take water as a guide do not seek its vastness, but value it in its clearness. If the water is running, the weather will be indistinguishable. If it is still, the shape will be slim.
Like a golden mirror that is pure and still, like a glass of glass that is extremely empty...
Taking up the pen, he first wrote down the title of the poem. The tip of the pen fell on the white paper and he wrote two words but suddenly stopped.
When the clerk announced the title of the poem loudly, Xue Bai looked at the title board with some doubts.
NO
The title of the poem Xue Bai got from Yang Zhao was "Poem of Spring Grass in Longchi". For this reason, he and Yan Yan carefully considered it and prepared a poem about the beautiful scenery of Longchi in Xingqing Palace.
However, the title of the poem in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites at this time was not this.
The topics for this subject are all consistent with what he got, except that the title of the poem has been changed... The problem is not too serious, he plans to write a poem by himself.
The title of the poem is "Xiang Ling Drums and Seeds", one character is Shaojiao, and it has six rhymes and twelve lines!"
Xue Bai frowned and wrote down the title and rhyme requirements of the poem. He finished writing the poem and the poem in a leisurely manner, copied it over and confirmed that there were no omissions in the poem, and then began to consider the poem.
It was already past noon. While he was eating some snacks, he was thinking about changing a poem. Even if it wasn’t very good, it wouldn’t be a problem if he didn’t seek the top prize.
But when Xue Bai looked at the title of the poem again, his eyes suddenly froze, and he remembered something, and for a moment, anger burst into his eyes.
It's a taboo.
In the Imperial Examination Hall of the Tang Dynasty, scholars were not allowed to write the names of their fathers and ancestors in the examination questions. Today's poem is titled "Xiang Ling Drum and Se", but now Xue Bai's nominal father is named "Xue Ling".
What he should do at this time is to immediately tell the examiner that he feels hurt and hopes he can rest. The examiner will help him out, and he will be considered a failure in this year's imperial examination. If he continues to answer questions, his reputation will be ruined and his future will be lost.
In the Datang Examination Hall, it is far easier than this to destroy all the efforts of a candidate.
This is obviously a question that Cui Qiao deliberately asked in order to make him fail. Xue Bai did not leave, and did not even put down the brush in his hand.
.
Time passed little by little, the sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the bamboo curtains, and some candidates had put down their pens.
It is difficult to write poems for exams. You must stick to the topic and do not stray from the requirements. In addition to the meter, the content is also specified. This question is derived from "The Songs of Chu" "Make the Xiangling drums to play, and make the sea dance like Feng Yi", after the death of Emperor Shun
Later, she was buried in Cangwu Mountain. Her concubine threw herself into the Xiang River and became the goddess of the Xiang River. She often played the harp by the river and expressed her grief with the harp music.
Finally, Xue Bai opened his eyes and wrote a poem on the paper.
“The smoke in the late Wei Dynasty is gone, and the rain in Sanxiang has stopped.”
“The concubine Fu Yaose is the goddess, and the second concubine Cong Zhu is Ming.”
“The wonderful finger floats clear and clear, and the scent traces are tangible.”
“Once you play the white autumn moon, then you play the cold water and clouds.”
“When a guest goes to Lanzhou, he is far away, and the spirit of the Emperor’s son is far away.”
“The song ended without anyone appearing, and the mountains on the river were green.”
This poem is not very good, but it was written by Xue Bai himself.
Most people in the world see him working on the sidelines, but few people know that he has really worked hard on his studies. Although it is really difficult for him to understand the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty, it is more difficult for him to learn than others. The progress he can make in just one year is also small.
limited.
It is true that he will do whatever it takes to seek a future, but he is also willing to work hard for it. He has never once expected to get something for nothing and enjoy the benefits.
It is precisely because of the sweat and hard work that he has put in that he is convinced that he is worthy and that he can succeed, so he is confident, fearless, calm, and never gives up.
