Ximen Qing hypnotized while drunk, so he slept comfortably. The next morning, he was still sleeping soundly, but someone came to disturb his dream.
After being awakened by Yue Niang, Ximen Qing asked in a daze: "Who is it? I finally slept in and came to chase my life..."
While serving him cleanse his face and dress, Yue Niang replied: "It's the holy scholar, Mr. Xiao Gongrang."
"Huh? Why is it him?" Ximen Qing pondered after hearing this, "Although Xiao Rang has dealt with him very little, this person is a little scholarly and proudly ignores others, except for Jin Dajian, who is in charge of being the same as a scholar.
Outside of being humble, others took it as if nothing had happened - why did he remember to visit me today?"
Yue Niang said, "Tianyoubajiu, it comes for his sister's affairs."
Ximen Qing opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "No way? Does he want to marry my girl as a concubine? The person surnamed Xiao is not such a person who is tempted by the flames and possesses power!"
Yue Niang was so amused and laughed and spat, and said lightly: "Don't say such frivolous words! Sister Jinlian said that this is the case!"
After hearing this, Ximen Qing sneered: "It turned out that Wang Aihu used Song Jiang's power to harm the common women. But this guy has grown up and knows that he is wearing a Song Jiang brand condom before he starts. That's not called it.
Forced, but favored me!"
Yue Niang looked worried and said, "Sister-in-law Jinlian took care of this matter, but you can't stand by. The Shulan of the Xiao family is a good woman. Even if you take him into a normal wife, you can't let her fall into that place.
The fire pit of the rude man.”
Ximen Qing hurriedly left himself clear: "Stop! I don't have time to take care of a wife, you can't stand it. If you marry another, wouldn't it harm others? I have my own plans for this matter. Yue Niang, you still have your heart.
Just put it straight, don’t just see a girl with a flat head and a straight face, and I can’t afford it.”
Yue Niang blushed, remembering the misunderstanding from Ling Han yesterday, and was ashamed for a moment. She had just cleaned up Ximen Qing, so she reached out and pushed him out, saying coquettishly: "Go and meet guests quickly
Alright! Don’t talk here. Let the guests wait for a long time, but isn’t the owner’s sin?”
Ximen Qing waved to her and went out with a smile. Yue Niang looked at her husband's tall back, as if the sky was falling and could hold it. She felt sweet and proud in her heart. Before she knew it,
Xiao Shulan’s affairs were no longer a problem in Yue Niang’s heart.
He walked towards the living room without hesitation, but Ximen Qing was thinking: "No wonder at the roundtable meeting yesterday, the saint-hand scholar Xiao Rang really helped me a lot in his words. It turned out that he was surrendering to me and showing goodwill.
I really have to thank Song Jiang for that black man. He didn’t get up as soon as he became the second leader of Liangshanpo and acted like a blessing. He wanted these Xiaoyao factions to help me, how could it be so easy?”
Thinking in my heart, I had already entered the living room, Ximen Qing folded his feelings and bowed and smiled, "Who is conscious of the big dream first? I know this in my life. I have enough spring sleep in the cottage, and the days outside the window are delayed. I asked my brother to wait for a long time, please forgive me
It's rude!"
Although Xiao Rang came early, Yue Niang ordered Dai'an to serve tea and fruits in the living room. The courtesy was very thoughtful. Seeing that the Ximen family treated her very well, Xiao Rang was already secretly grateful in his heart, and then heard Ximen Qing's humble words.
How dare he bear the lyrics? He stood up and bowed deeply to Ximen Qing, saying that he didn't dare.
Ximen Qing and Xiao Rang bowed to each other as a courtesy, and then took a seat to the host. Ximen Qing asked, "I wonder what is the key to Mr. Xiao today?"
Xiao Rang said seriously: "I heard that the young master Sanqi's literary talent was very popular. A couplet of mourning death was famous in the eight prefectures of Shandong. How many scholars have attracted the legend? Is it not just Xiao Rang who wants to talk about mountains and flowing waters? But the road to the mountains is far away, so it is a pity that we cannot get close to Zhilan! Who knew that today the willows and flowers are bright, so we had to stay in Liangshan with Brother Siquan. Xiao Rang thought to visit him early and endured it until he arrived today. It was too late!"
Ximen Qing quickly waved his hand and said, "The trick is to be a worm, and the end of the world is a wise man. The fire and fireflies are a joke on the Fang family. I am a little brother, how dare I get a big shot in front of the saint scholar? I'm afraid that the gentleman will get out of this door today, so I'll have to do it. It’s better to sigh at the famous meeting than to meet!”
The two answered a few words. Ximen Qing saw that Xiao Rang spoke elegantly and had a rich and profound meaning. He was indeed a well-educated man with a rich and beautiful mind. He couldn't help but sigh: "My Lord, I am really a talented person with Long Zhang and Feng Zao. Today I'm here After Liangshan, I can’t be in the Mingtang anymore. It’s a pity.”
After hearing this, Xiao Rang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, "Brother Siquan, have you ever been to the imperial examination?"
Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "This has never been done. I, Ximen Qing, is just a little clever, how can I be a juvenile doctor? Isn't it like me who don't understand scriptures or can't make strategy theory? I also learn from others to take the imperial examination. Has the laughter broken the belly of the knowledgeable people in the world?"
Xiao Rang sighed after hearing this, "Brother Siquan has not passed the imperial examination, so he said the journey to Mingtang so easily!"
Ximen Qing heard that Xiao Rang had a deep feeling in his tone, and he was not surprised, so he said, "Brother, this imperial examination system was still difficult in the previous dynasty, but it was easy in this dynasty. The imperial examination system was still a beginning in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and its disadvantages were There are many, and ministers have the power to recommend the lieutenant. Once the power to obtain scholars belongs to the lieutenant, the new and old gentry can still continue to control the power to obtain scholars by relying on their political, economic advantages and traditional social status. The achievements in the lieutenant field cannot be It has become the main criterion for admission or not. If no one recommends it, it will be useless for ordinary poor people to have a great reputation."
Xiao Rang nodded repeatedly and sighed: "What Brother Siquan said is good. I remember that although Baixiangshan was famous for his poetry, he had to submit a certificate to the examiner when he went to the capital to take the exam and presented his representative work. , to win the favor of the examiner; there was also a poet Du Fu, who failed to be ranked in the Jinshi several times and was unknown throughout his life; Meng Jiao, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, was full of talent and famous, but he was in the field for more than 20 years, until He won the first place at the age of fifty. Therefore, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, some people publicly lamented that there was no one in the court, so it would be better to go home as soon as possible."
Ximen Qing then slapped his high-high and said, "That's true! It's difficult to take the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty. There are only a dozen places at a time. There are thousands of scholars in the world. What's the point of giving me this cup of water? When Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, he vigorously innovated the imperial examination. , First, the restrictions on family backgrounds were lifted, regardless of scholars, farmers, industry, or businessmen, they could take exams, expanding the scope of recruitment of scholars; second, all recommendation systems were abolished to eliminate favoritism and fraud to the greatest extent. In addition to the normal scientific examination every three years, they also use In various terms, the number of scholars can be collected by one subject. It is even stipulated that anyone who has been taking the examination repeatedly can be rewarded with a small official even if he fails to pass the exam."
Xiao Rang sighed again, but his voice was filled with envy: "As Brother Siquan said, a small official. At that time, a candidate in his seventies wrote such words on Bai Ji's test paper - I'm old. , I can't write for writing. I hope you will live long life on Your Majesty. After I saw the test paper, I immediately gave him a small official position."
Ximen Qing then said, "See! Since it is so easy to become an official in the imperial examination, how could the prince sigh at the hardships of official career?"
Xiao Rang looked at Ximen Qing like a monster, and then explained: "Brother Siquan only knows one, not the other. Although Taizong's dynasty stipulates that those who fail to take the scientific examinations repeatedly can get an official position, but today,
Those quotas are gradually taken over by the powerful and powerful. But the two, three and four generations of officials who are ignorant of their ignorant officials are all looking forward to it. How could they be the turn of a poor man like us?"
Ximen Qing nodded: "Indeed, if you have the right to get a diploma and title, this is especially true when a bastard is in power."
Xiao Rang couldn't help but resonate with him: "Ah! Officialdom **! Although the three bastards are vulgar, they are not big and vulgar, and they cannot vent the resentment of the poor people in the world! But then again, those official positions that are rewarded without permission are really like chickens and insects.
Generally, those who have ambition will not take it!"
Ximen Qing was secretly amused, thinking that Xiao Rang was still full of envy when he talked about Taizong, but now he lost hope, he demoted it to chicken and insect food. The rapid change of the face of scholars is simply the art of changing faces in Sichuan opera.
Ancestor.
But Xiao Rang said again: "This dynasty's imperial examination system stipulates that the first candidates must participate in the local provincial examination. Only those who pass the provincial examination will have the opportunity to take the palace examination and become an official. However, the admission quota for the provincial examination is due to
The places are different, and different places are not consistent. For example, in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, there are the most relief payments; while in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 8,000 people participated in the provincial examination, but only seventeen relief payments!”
Ximen Qing widened his eyes when he heard this: "What happened?"
Xiao Rang looked crying and sighed: "In this case, some scholars will try their best to take the exam in relatively easy places, which leads to a dispute over household registration in the imperial examination. For example,
Many scholars pretend to be Kaifeng scholars to participate in the provincial examination. Like the system stipulated during the Tiansheng period of Renzong that scholars are not locals, but those who have land in the local area can also take the exam. Some scholars from wealthy families make full use of this opportunity and often make temporary use of this opportunity.
For the imperial examination, purchase land in other places to obtain qualifications for the examination. The most ridiculous thing is that the elder brother of Wang Ji, a scholar in Luzhou, was named Wang Xiuyi, purchased 18 acres of land in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, but the brotherhood was not
Wang Ji was asked to accept the election in Kaifeng Prefecture. Wang Ji had a plan. When he signed up for the letter, he decided to become a father and change his brotherhood relationship to a father-son relationship. What's more, Wang Yu, another foreigner, actually followed Wang Ji.
Together, they became a family, and took Wang Ji's three generations as their ancestors."
Ximen Qing's eyes widened as he heard it, and he couldn't help but slapped the table and said in surprise: "The bastard mother slaps her and fucks that mother **He is the ancestor **The mother throws her mother and fucks her mother's mother's breasts and eats her breasts.
Blind! No wonder the shamelessness of being an official, for the sake of his own two or two mouths, he can exploit the people, harm the country, ruin the sky, deteriorate the land, and pollute water sources. It turns out that it is not a good thing to do if you put it in the bottom line.
!” This is exactly:
Since ancient times, many wonderful theories have always been strange and evil. But I don’t know what happens next, so I will listen to the next chapter of the decomposition.
