What I heard was that Gao Qiu, the captain who played football, could not find a famous teacher, so he had to teach his only son by himself.
Or it could be Gao Zhang, the eleven-year-old boy who looks pretty young but has a ruthless heart.
He beat Cai Yao three times in a row until Cai Yao, the sixth son of Prime Minister Cai's family, screamed, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. At such a young age, he had gained the reputation of being the most evil boy in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty.
Such a little baby is actually the Jinke Province of the Song Dynasty?
At this moment, the roster was being circulated among the ministers, especially those who had children in their families participating in the provincial examination, who almost got into a fight over the roster.
Except for one biological son who cried with joy after passing the provincial examination, the other ministers who did not see their children on the list all had dark faces.
Even though he didn't dare to raise any doubts with Wu Zhizhong openly, he kept scolding him secretly.
As an emperor of the Song Dynasty who was very talented and knowledgeable, Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty who inherited the legacy of his father and brother and was willing to hold high the banner of reform.
Seeing the aspiration for change and enterprising in his beloved disciple's strategy made Zhao Ji's eyes shine even more.
My heart is filled with joy. It seems that God has indeed failed me.
Thinking back to the time when he came to the throne, he was determined to forge ahead and insisted on innovation. He specifically pardoned a number of new party officials who had been repeatedly suppressed by the old party.
It is a pity that many New Party officials are no longer what they used to be. The new party's important ministers can also be said to have withered talents.
This made me feel quite frustrated, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Nowadays, only Cai Aiqing, the high-ranking official, is supporting the overall situation. It is a pity that the reform has become increasingly difficult.
I didn't expect that Gao Zhang would actually reveal his ambitions in the imperial examination examinations, just look at the methods he used in these two examinations.
I am afraid that Cai Aiqing, who is currently in charge of the overall situation in the court, would not be able to think of these innovative methods even if her hair is gray.
"He is indeed the successor to whom I taught him the secrets of calligraphy in my dream..."
Zhao Ji raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the main entrance of the hall, as if he saw an immortal in his dream who looked exactly like him.
In the clouds and mist, he showed himself an approving smile and nodded slightly...
#####
I saw the official reading the two policy questions with great excitement, but suddenly he raised his head and smiled evilly.
He immediately made all the ministers laugh in a daze, because no one knew who the official was laughing at.
After the official finished laughing, he buried his head again and continued to read Cewen.
All the ministers looked left and right, but most of their eyes fell on Gao Qiu, the ball-playing captain who had stood up straight again and looked particularly energetic.
Or maybe it's the traitorous Prime Minister Cai Jing, who has a dark face and sullen eyes.
After reading the two policy questions, the official Zhao Ji smacked his mouth and glanced at all the ministers.
He saw that Cai Jing and several ministers had unwavering expressions on their faces and stared at Wu Zhizhong with gloomy eyes.
But Wu Zhizhong, the examiner of the Jinke Provincial Examination, was very present and didn't care.
Seeing this scene, I thought that since Gao Zhang was now the provincial minister, almost all the other young officials' children had failed. This does seem a bit...
After thinking about it for a while, official Zhao Ji, who already had a plan in mind, showed a gentle smile.
"I never thought that our Song Dynasty would have such a prodigy who has the world in mind and has strategies to manage the world and benefit the people."
"Wu Aiqing was able to discern pearls with a sharp eye, and he overcame all opinions to choose Gao Zhang as the provincial governor. He is truly worthy of being an official of the country..."
"This imperial examination is for the purpose of selecting talents for the imperial court. There are a total of 283 tributes today.
In order to prevent talents from being lost in the wild, I decided to raise sons from those who failed.
Seventeen of the best candidates will be selected to make up the roster and participate in the palace examination together. What do you think, dear friends? "
The ministers, who were originally frustrated because their children failed to pass the provincial examination, heard the officials' very purposeful words.
You still don't understand that this is a hint from the benevolent officials that they want to open a back door for you.
In an instant, this group of frustrated ministers rushed away first, loudly echoing, praising the official's family as worthy of being a sage emperor.
Wu Zhizhong never expected that the official family would suddenly make such a showy move.
But at this moment, there were many ministers and workers who stood up. Wu Zhizhong had a dark face and was about to raise his voice when he felt his cuffs tighten.
Turning around, he saw Shilang Chen beside him, shaking his head slightly with a wry smile.
"Wu Shangshu, what the officials say does have its truth. What's more, the public sentiment is turbulent now. To avoid changes, please think twice..."
After hearing Shilang Chen's meaningful words of comfort, Wu Zhizhong finally sighed helplessly.
Let it go, the faint king insists, and a group of treacherous sycophants are fawning over him, and it is really difficult for him to recover.
But fortunately, none of the ministers, workers or officials in the court objected to Gao Zhang's little boy's qualification as a provincial governor. That was a victory.

In the following time, the entire Chuigong Hall was even noisier than the busiest market in Bianliang, Tokyo.
It lasted for nearly an hour, and finally the ministers left with unfinished business.
However, among the ministers who left, some looked regretful and cursed as they headed outside the palace.
Most of these ministers had children in their families who had passed the special examination before, but considering that the children's level was too low.
I didn’t want them to be embarrassed by taking the provincial examination, so I didn’t take the Jinke provincial examination.
Or maybe even though they passed the special examination, they also passed the provincial examination, but the children in the family applied for miscellaneous subjects instead of Jinshi subjects.
All in all, there are quite a few ministers who are jealous, jealous, and curse and leave the palace.
The ones who are really smiling and celebrating are naturally the lucky few who have regained their votes.
Although there are more than ten officials and officials who failed to pass the provincial examination. But the court couldn't just give them the quota.
That will definitely offend those scholars who also studied hard in their humble beginnings. If a big mess happens, all the ministers and officials in the court will be blamed.
After a fierce debate and selection, only five officials and officials were selected.
The sixth eldest son of Cai Jing's family, Cai Yao, was also rejected by the officials and insisted on being selected to enter the palace examination.
After all, the children of Taiwei Gao's family were already provincial-level officials. As the biological son of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, he couldn't even pass the provincial examination. Such a contrast was really a slap in the face.
Wu Zhizhong was unhappy at first, but fortunately Zhao Ji personally persuaded him with gentle words.
Wu Zhizhong dared to confront Cai Jing, the treacherous prime minister, but after all, it was difficult to confront Zhao Ji, the foolish king.
In the end, Cai Laoliu was lucky enough to catch a ride on the palace examination and embarked on a evil path caused by the underworld of the imperial examination.
