The reincarnated "lucky boy" Zhu Hexing didn't like taking exams since he was a child. Although he was not bad at reading, he was just a little partial to subjects. He was good at mathematics, average in Confucianism, and always scored 60 or 70 in French... ...This is a score that means getting scolded rather than beaten! But generally speaking, he doesn't like exams, even the various military exams that he likes and studies best, he doesn't like them very much.
Because he thinks things like exams are completely meaningless! So what if I do well in the exam? He is now working in a job with little room for advancement, and it is difficult to make progress through his own efforts... Even if he has 100 points in every aspect, he is still a prince. If you don't do well in the exam, you will be scolded by your father.
Anyone in his situation would not like the exam. And he didn't think anyone in the world would like boring things like exams...until he personally became the examiner in Shizhu County.
He never thought that the exam he hated most would be an opportunity that people here in Shizhu had been thinking about for more than ten or twenty years - no need for reincarnation, no question of origin, no need for gold or silver, just money. The opportunity of an exam to determine one's destiny turns out to be so precious!
In the past ten days, thousands of "literate people" have poured into Shizhu County from various towns and villages in Shizhu County. Most of them came over the mountains and ridges, and some even braved being killed by strong winds. There is a risk that the bandits will be captured and killed, and they come from several towns in the eastern part of Shizhu County... Is that so? Are you risking your life just for the exam?
Looking at the dozen or so "literate people" who came from Wanshengba Township near Dafeng Castle with hatchets, bows and arrows, Zhu Hexing felt really ashamed... Look how hard they work? Some of them had gray beards and risked their lives to take the exam!
Look at yourself again, you can't even recite some French words listlessly. This is a prince, I'm so ashamed!
However, most of these Sichuan "literate people" who love exams are not good at knowledge, so Zhu Hexing gave them the nickname "literate people", which means they know a little bit of writing, but not much else. Not good at writing, not good at arithmetic, not good at Confucianism... I haven't read "Zi Lun Ge Wu" at all, they are basically a group of semi-literate people!
Even though there are a few with better articles, most of them are elderly. They are all old scholars who studied hard before Dashun and Daxi entered Sichuan. Some of them still have the title of scholar that has been revoked. When they walked into the examination room, they were all confused. Crying like a tearful person.
"Old uncle, don't cry, don't cry... hurry up and take the exam. After the exam, if you want to cry, you have some time to laugh!" Zhu Hexing saw the two crying old men and quickly spoke to comfort him - this part of his speech I have already met several old men crying faintly in the examination room!
How much trouble is it to cry faint? Need first aid!
"Sit down, sit down, the exam is about to start!" Seeing that the two old men were still wiping away tears, Zhu Hexing quickly pointed to the lobby of the former Dashun Military Division Yamen, "We are here to take the exam and give the questions. ..... The questions change every two hours, so no one can cheat. Don’t walk away after the exam, correct the paper immediately, and you will know the result today!
In addition, the written test is a preliminary test. After you pass it, someone will arrange for you to live in Shizhu County while you wait to take the martial arts test! If you pass the martial arts test, congratulations, you will be the ninth rank life officer of the Ming Dynasty! "
"What? You still need to rely on martial arts? This little old man doesn't know martial arts!"
"The little old man is a scholar..."
When the two old men heard that they had to rely on martial arts, they cried even more fiercely, and they immediately looked like they were going to faint!
Zhu Hexing quickly called a few Guards, and two Guards fought one against the other and brought the two old men into the examination room.
We had just brought people in, and a few soldiers from the Western Sichuan Army (who could speak Sichuan and Mandarin) who were in charge of receiving the candidates at the gate got into a quarrel with someone.
Zhu Hexing felt that he had taken a few people out to see the situation. He was stunned when he saw that several Sichuan soldiers guarding the gate were blocking a "zombie" from entering!
That "zombie" is Li Jinxue. He has just recovered from a serious illness, his face is bloodless, and he is wearing a shroud...it looks a bit oozing!
Of course, Zhu Hexing has seen many dead people wearing shrouds! I saw it when I was in Laoshan Middle School!
When someone is about to die, middle school students like them have to follow the teacher who teaches military sports to watch. This is called practicing courage! Later, when they went to the martial arts hall, they had to watch the execution... In short, Zhu Hexing was usually not afraid of dead people wearing shrouds. But when a dead man wearing a shroud came to take the exam, Zhu Hexing was still a little scared! But he was just a little scared, because he felt that he was the son of destiny and was protected by destiny, so he was not afraid of monsters and monsters.
He just felt a little emotional: This zombie must have been a scholar when he was alive. He wanted to take the imperial examination but failed, so that he died of depression. Now that he heard that he can take the exam, he pretended to be a corpse!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hexing yelled: "What's going on with that zombie? Where did it come from?"
Zombies?
The Sichuan army guarding the gate heard Zhu Hexing's words and knew that he had misunderstood. Looking back at Li Jinxue in his shroud, he indeed looked like a zombie.
One of the young Sichuan soldiers was also a joker. He turned around and said to Zhu Hexing: "I know, this zombie is here to take the imperial examination... and he doesn't have a household registration, and his origin is unknown, so he They won't be allowed in."
Do you still care about zombies requiring household registration?
When Zhu Hexing was a little speechless, the zombie shouted in Mandarin with a Sichuan accent: "I am not a zombie! I am alive. I am Li Jinxue from Xiaoli Village, Nanshan Township, Shizhu County! I am still in Niulanguan Pass I have made meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty, and I still have a Certificate of Loyalty and Martyrdom issued by the Admiral of the Xichuan Army at home..."
Speaking of loyalty and martyrdom, Li Jinxue also felt that something was wrong!
It seems that the title of loyalty and martyrdom is not given to living people...
The Sichuan soldiers who stopped him were also shocked. It turned out that they only thought Li Jinxue was a madman, not a real zombie. They didn't expect that he was really evil!
These people were all scared and stepped back step by step, showing signs of escaping.
It was the Zhongyong of the Guards brought by Zhu Hexing. No one wanted to run away, but took off the flintlock gun on his back and started loading ammunition - this was to shoot the zombies!
Li Jinxue couldn't clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yangtze River. Fortunately, he didn't come alone, and there was Li Daniu who could explain.
"Don't shoot! You didn't stop shooting... This Li Jinxue is really not a zombie! He is not stiff at all..."
A non-zombified corpse? That's still a corpse!
Li Daniu also felt something was wrong and quickly added: "He is not dead yet... He responded to the heavenly soldiers during the Battle of Niulanguan Pass and rose up to kill the thieves. As a result, he was seriously injured and thought he was about to die, so he was awarded the title of loyal martyr. He asked someone to bring him back 30 taels of silver, and he also asked someone to make the shroud after he brought it back. Who knew that after being raised at home for a while, he recovered and died, and he also wanted to take the imperial examination and serve the imperial court!"
After hearing this, Zhu Hexing hurriedly raised his hand to stop the soldiers who had loaded bullets and were about to shoot. Then he called another person and asked him to check Li Jinxue to see if he was hot or cold. If he is cold, then he must be shot to eliminate harm for the people! If it is hot, let him take the imperial examination.
"I understand, that person is still warm and doesn't seem to be a zombie!"
Zhu Hexing nodded, "Since you are not a zombie, you can take the exam!"
After saying that, he waved to Li Jinxue and called Li Jinxue to him.
Li Jinxue came to him and bowed respectfully: "Li Jinxue, a late student, has met his colleagues."
Zhu Hexing looked him up and down, nodded and said: "Take the test well! Today is a written test, which is not that difficult. After passing it, there will be a martial arts test...a spear test. If you don't know how, I will Arrange for someone to teach you. After you pass the exam, you will be the ninth rank official of my Ming Dynasty!"
A dignified ninth grade official! Li Jinxue burst into tears of joy. For Li Jinxue, a peasant under the rule of Dashun who was not even qualified to serve as a soldier, being an official from the ninth rank was like ascending to the sky in one step. From then on, he stood above the sky!
