"I have been studying since I was a child. At that time, my father... uncle taught me martial arts, and my mother taught me to read and write... Oh, now that I think about it, my childhood was really miserable. In fact, it was no fun at all." Li Qiudao.
"If you want to be noble in front of others, you will have to suffer behind others! Only by enduring hardship can you become a master. The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold..." Xiao Chen said.
"Brother Xiao!" Li Qiu interrupted Xiao Chen's nonsense. I'm here to ask you for advice, not to listen to you telling me these big principles.
"Since you have read books and studied literature, it will be easy." Xiao Chen said, "I will teach you a method that will definitely prove your literary talent."
"Oh? Brother Xiao, please tell me!" Li Qiu was overjoyed.
"Change your name and take part in this year's examination. If you can win, wouldn't it prove that the princes, princes and grandchildren also have real talents?" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh, why don't you mention this method? It's really wonderful!" Li Qiu exclaimed.
But here comes the problem. Those who participated in the examination are all elites from across the country, such as Lin Qi and others. I am not proud to say, although I am a person who has read books and written essays, I am afraid I am not as good as others. ...You can even directly erase the word 'I'm afraid', it's really incomparable!
I can't say it's a huge difference, but there is definitely a gap.
"If you can't get it, you can't get it?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "No one knows who you are anyway, and I can't lose your face."
"This is not a matter of face for him!" Li Qiu said, "Either you don't take the exam, or you must pass the exam. I don't care. This is the idea you gave me, Brother Xiao. I must be responsible to the end. I have decided Reference, but you have to make sure that I pass the exam. I don’t want the first grade, but at least I have to be the second grade. I can’t afford the third grade!”
"Hey, aren't you trying to force someone to make things difficult for you?" Xiao Chen said, "How can I protect you from this? I'm not the examiner now, and I don't know what the question is. Even if I want to leak the question to you, I can't. Yes, you can go find Liu Qiheng."
"No, this must be done secretly. No other person can know about it except you, Brother Xiao!" Li Qiu said, "I don't care what method you use, you must help me anyway! Otherwise, I will not recognize you in the future. You are the big brother!"
"Damn it. Not only are you not grateful to me for helping you with your advice, but you also rely on me for it!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"No, who do you rely on? Who made you my eldest brother?" Li Qiu knew that he could not suppress Xiao Chen with his identity as a prince, and could only move him with brotherly love.
"Sigh... I really can't do anything about you." Xiao Chen frowned, "How are we going to do this? I don't know if the test questions are out yet?"
"Come out." Li Qiu said hurriedly, "Father told me that he had prepared the test questions and handed them to Liu Qiheng."
"It's actually useless to ask Liu Qiheng for this." Xiao Chen said, "The test questions must be sealed, and they must have the emperor's seal on them. The Ministry of Rites must also seal them, and they will be stored in the archives hall of the Ministry of Rites until the exam starts. It can only be opened on that day, but before that, no one can open or see it.”
And the record-keeping hall of the Ministry of Rites is not the record-keeping hall of the Supervisor of Rites. It is a proper important place of the imperial court. It is heavily guarded and can be compared to the emperor's Qinzheng Hall!
The ones enshrined in the hall are the saint Confucius and the teacher of saints, Lao Tzu. With these two old men sitting in charge, not to mention people, even the gods and ghosts dare not go in and cause trouble!
Whenever the test questions come out, the place is sealed up and jointly guarded by the Ministry of Rites, the Jinyi Guards, and the Forbidden Army, as well as the Supervisor of Rites and Supervisors, and the Ouchi Guards sit in charge.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and there are three floors inside and outside...
Therefore, no matter how high your martial arts skills are or how powerful your spells are, you can't get in, at least you can't get in unnoticed.
Let's put it this way, except for the examiner Liu Qiheng, not even the prince can get closer!
Of course Liu Qiheng won't get close, he has to avoid suspicion.
This matter is a bit tricky.
But Li Qiu relies on Xiao Chen. Brother Xiao, you have to help me handle this matter. Brother, I haven’t even begged you... Have you? That's no different this time.
Brother Xiao, you also know that this matter is actually quite important. I went out with you to fight in a battle. This has proved that my military strategy is good, because I can win battles if I can lead troops.
But this is clearly not enough.
Wen Tao and military strategy are indispensable. Speaking of literature and military strategy, they are much more important than military strategy.
Just like my second brother Li Shiwen is very good at martial arts, but not very good at fighting, and is a little less charming; my third brother is very good at fighting, but not very good at martial arts, and is slightly less talented in literature.
That's why my father felt so much regret for them, and he also felt quite sorry for himself...
Now, little brother, I will perform a show for them, Brother Xiao, who is both civil and military, what do you think?
is it okay!
Damn it, just give me problems!
I really thought about this for a while. I am not an omnipotent god. Even a god would be in trouble when encountering this kind of thing.
What's more, Xiao Chen is not a god at all.
Fortunately, there are brothers and sisters, one is a martial arts master, the other is a fairy...
"Tell me again, what are you going to do?" The fat man heard Xiao Chen say that he planned to steal the question, and he spat in his face!
"Brother said that he must find a way to get the questions for the national examination so that Li Qiuzhong can become a scholar!" Ling'er said.
"I know!" Fatty said loudly.
"I know you still ask?" Ling'er said.
"Can't I ask?" Fatty said angrily, "Besides, I'm not asking you because I need your little mouth. I'm asking Xiao Chen, what on earth do you want to do? Are you smart or stupid? Do you want to do such a thankless job?"
"Keep your voice down, this is a fucking head-turning thing." Xiao Chen also had a guilty conscience at times.
"You also know that this is going to kill your head?" Fatty said, "You can just remove it yourself, don't hold us back."
"Brother, let me help you!" So it's better to be a girl.
"You silly girl, you will be tricked to death by him sooner or later. You don't know what a good thing is!" said the fat man.
"Friendship and friendship." Xiao Chen was moved, "A good friend is not as valuable as the friendship between our buddies!"
"Just tell me how much it's worth?" the fat man asked.
"You are stupid, we have helped Li Qiu so much, why can't he give you a thousand and eighty taels of gold to thank you?" Xiao Chen said.
"Pull him down, he is even poorer than me! Qu Baimei came to me today to complain that he was poor, saying that he couldn't celebrate the New Year, but he just took a lot of things from us!"
"Can't you?" Ling'er was surprised, "Is there no one who can send something to Li Qiu? He is the prince."
"Send them away, but Li Qiu made a list of all the things he received. He didn't keep any of them. He sent people to Wolong Pass to work for the army. Some things were unlucky, so he gave them all to those in the capital. The families of the soldiers who died were killed, and even his own salary was subsidized. This is the way of a prince, seeking fame rather than profit!"
To put it bluntly, there is no money.
