In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
The weather is getting cooler and it's autumn.
And the provincial scientific examination is coming quietly.
Early in the morning, the three little ones gathered at Cao Guogong's mansion with their examination baskets.
They all looked at Li Hongbi with numb expressions, waiting for the thief mentor to lecture him.
Li Hongbi looked at the three disciples with a smile, and then led them into the carriage.
"How was it? How did you sleep last night?"
The mentor opened his mouth and didn't dare not answer.
Zhu Yong turned his head mechanically and sighed: "Teacher, I only solved one problem last night and fell asleep in a daze."
"Well, not bad." Li Hongbi nodded, "At least I got a good sleep."
Qiu Song timidly said: "Teacher, my...father didn't let me do the questions last night and put me to bed early."
"Oh my eldest brother is really... what a loser a loving father is!" Li Hongbi sighed with some dissatisfaction.
Seeing Qiu Song lowering his head, almost crying with grievance, Li Hongbi hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "It's okay. After the exam, go home and continue doing the same thing."
Only Gu Xingzu suddenly opened his eyes, which shocked the three of them.
His eyes were red and full of blood, and his whole person was extremely excited.
"Ahem, Azu, what's wrong with you? You didn't get any rest last night, okay?"
"Teacher, my disciple successfully solved the three questions last night and also completed three articles. Please take a look at it."
With that said, Gu Xingzu took out his article from his arms.
Seeing this situation, Li Hongbi couldn't stop him.
This kid is really a cruel person!
If you are so cruel to yourself, this kid will become a great person in the future!
"Azu, you are so ruthless!"
"After the exam, go home and rest early, and get some sleep first!"
Gu Xingzu nodded silently, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The Yingtianfu Township Examination is held in Gongyuan, not too far away.
After arriving at the gate of Gongyuan, thousands of scholars and scholars had already gathered here, but they all lined up honestly, and then entered the examination room in an orderly manner after identity verification and inspection.
Li Hongbi looked at the three little ones and said in a deliberately fierce voice: "Remember everything, you have to pay attention to the exam!"
"If anyone fails, you know the consequences clearly!"
"I don't ask you to take the top three positions. At least you must all win. If anyone dares to fail, I will break his legs at the gate of the Gongyuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the three little ones were frightened and trembled. Then they respectfully bid farewell to Li Hongbi and entered the venue as if they were running away.
When others heard what Li Hongbi said, they inevitably looked at this guy twice.
Where did this madman come from and dared to boast like this in public?
However, Li Hongbi was too lazy to talk to anyone else and sat back in the carriage, lying leisurely in a daze.
Maybe he felt bored, so he asked someone to call Xiao Gugu over.
Because of the popularity of the beauty cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes have also become best-sellers, so Sixiang and the Tie sisters are very busy.
As soon as Xiao Gugu came into the carriage, he couldn't help but complain to Li Hongbi, hoping that he could recruit more people.
Li Hongbi directly nodded in agreement and gave Sixiang the power to recruit people on his own.
After all, this Sixiang is his personal maid, so why not see anyone all day long?
While Li Hongbi was making jokes with Little Gugu in the carriage, the three little ones also successfully entered the examination room, found their own examination booths, and got ready for the exam.
Examiner Hu Guang and others are ready.
They didn't waste any time and directly ordered the exam to start.
It was just dawn, and someone was beating gongs and drums in the gray examination room.
After the questions were announced, officers wearing red belts walked around the examination room holding examination cards.
Zhu Yong took a closer look, but was stunned the next moment.
"Tao leads to virtue"!
This is from the chapter "The Analects of Confucius: Weizheng".
The original text is: Confucius said: "The way is based on government, the order is based on punishment, the people are free but shameless, the way is based on virtue, the order is based on etiquette, there is shame and integrity."
Meaning, Confucius said: "Use political decrees to govern the people, and use criminal laws to rectify them. The people only want to avoid being punished for crimes, but have no sense of shame; use morality to guide the people, and use rituals to assimilate them, and the people will not only There is a sense of shame and a heart of surrender.”
Like muscle memory, a large amount of information appeared in his mind, and then Zhu Yong was dumbfounded.
It's not that he can't do it, but this question... is too easy!
He even did it more than once!
Qiu Song looked at this question and subconsciously bit his teeth and nails.
Compared to the other candidates who were busy writing, Qiu Song even felt like biting his nails for a while before talking, since the question was very simple anyway.
Gu Xingzu, on the other hand, glanced at the question coldly and only saw "one plus one equals how much". Finally, he muttered "boring" and simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Well, he was really sleepy and decided to take a nap first.
At the same time, the Nuange of Qianqing Palace.
Early in the morning, Zhu Di arrived here.
Although the Provincial Examination is not as good as the National Examination, it is still a serious part of the scientific examination, and it is also a way for the imperial court to select candidates. Emperor Yongle, who has just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, naturally attaches great importance to it.
He was looking forward to seeing how many young talents would emerge from the Yingtianfu Provincial Examination this time.
Today is the day for the provincial examination. As soon as the emperor arrived at Nuange, all the bachelors from the cabinet also came one after another.
Grand Bachelor Jie Jin was hit by an explosive charge and hit a tree. He was seriously injured. He had to recuperate for nearly a month before he finally recovered.
In fact, he is just able to walk on the ground. It is not known how long it will take before the injury is fully recovered.
But Xie Jin didn't dare to wait. He knew very well that his current status and power were all due to the favor and trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, once he lost this favor in front of His Majesty after recuperating for a long time, that would be the real success for Xie Jin. Disaster!
So Archbishop Xie limped over, with such a diligent and diligent look that even Zhu Di was inevitably moved when he saw it.
"Why don't Bachelor Xie rest peacefully at home?"
"Your Majesty is worried about me, but today is the provincial examination, so I feel uneasy."
Zhu Di opened his mouth with a smile, but actually he was already happy in his heart.
After Jie Jin was tricked by that bastard Li Hongbi, his bad temper became much better.
"Okay, dear friends, there is no need to be too polite. Today is the imperial court's talent promotion ceremony, which can be called a grand event for the country!"
Xie Jin's face changed slightly when he heard this, he smiled and said in greeting: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
"After His Majesty came to the throne, he immediately opened up the Enke, gave preferential treatment to scholars, and selected talents."
"All the scholars in the world are grateful to His Majesty. They hope to pass the imperial examination and become an official and serve His Majesty with loyalty!"
Zhu Di smiled and nodded.
He just likes to hear the flattery of Xie Jin, who makes people feel very comfortable after listening to him.
However, before he could be happy for a moment, Jie Jin's next words made Zhu Di's face darken instantly.
"But Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors in recent days."
"It is said that the Crown Prince of Cao Guogong bullied others in the Imperial College, humiliated students, bullied his colleagues, and even carried a mace with him. He was simply lawless!"
Zhu Di frowned and glanced at Xie Jin lightly.
"The crown prince of Cao Guogong?"
"The person Xie Xie is talking about is Li Hongbi, right?"
"Yes! It's Li Hongbi!" Xie Jin replied clearly, his eyes full of resentment.
If it weren't for Li Hongbi, a little beast, how could Jie Jin be blown up into a tree and become the laughing stock of the world? !
Jie Jin was not stupid. After he was blown away, he reacted instantly.
Li Hongbi wanted to kill him!
