Liang Chuan was not considered a promising student since he was a child. He did a lot of stealing peaches from his employer and sweet potatoes from his employer. He relied on the party's policies to read a few books and wrote a few crooked words, and even finished college. Later I finished college. By accident, he was admitted to the civil service examination and became a glorious people's policeman.
Although the imperial examination is no longer around, that system evolved from the imperial examination.
So Liang Chuan should forget about taking advantage of the imperial examination.
It is said that the Sui Dynasty was immoral, but this dynasty, which was not favored by textbooks, invented a recruitment system to extend the life of the feudal dynasty, breaking the monopoly of the aristocratic families and giving the peasants who faced the loess a chance to turn around.
Speaking of feudalism, there are countless exploitations and persecutions, but the imperial examination system is one of the few excellent systems recognized by Chinese and foreign scholars.
In Lu Yijian's home, Liangchuan's "Linjiang Immortal" poem made countless scholars who rushed to Bianjing to prepare for the coming spring lament that they were born at the wrong time. Even if they read ten years of sage calligraphy and masters, they would not be able to teach them to write such a masterpiece.
Why did Liang Chuan always get asked if he wanted to take the imperial examination every time he wrote excellent poems? Ding Wei later told Liang Chuan that it turned out that the imperial examination in this dynasty was not a test on the understanding of Confucian classics and state governance, but on the creation of poems and poems, that is, you If you can recite a good poem, you can get good grades in the exam. Su Shi is an outstanding talent in this area!
Although Liang Chuan personally said that he would not take the imperial examination, he was already attached to Ding Wei's house. He was so passionate about power that he would not take the imperial examination? This is obviously a tactic to delay the attack and relax other people's guard!
This Liang Chuan is a member of Ding Wei's family. Whether he is a servant or a manager, in the examination, if the character of a person like Ding Wei is to be selfish and protect his shortcomings, then other people will have no hope of official career!
However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was said that on the day the Forbidden City opened, Liang Chuan wrote a few words with his own hand. The handwriting was worse than that of a child. Even Ouyang Xiu said that if he took the exam, he would not be able to pass the exam.
This rumor has been confirmed by many people with their own eyes, so it should not be false.
Rumors spread again. It turned out that it wasn’t that I didn’t want to take the exam, but that I wasn’t strong enough!
Bao Zheng stayed in Bianjing for more than half a year. After being deceived, he finally settled down and concentrated on studying in the Imperial College. If he hadn't met Liang Chuan, he wouldn't have survived long ago. Although he had a good relationship with Liang Chuan, because spring was approaching, Bao Zheng didn't go to congratulate him even when Liang Chuan's Forbidden City opened.
Liang Chuan once said to him a very classic saying, providing help in times of need is always better than adding icing on the cake. Liang Chuan didn't need him to add this flower. He was looking forward to being named on the gold list. Then he would be able to repay the favor he owed Liang Chuan.
The pressure of wrapping up the black charcoal before the exam was so great that I couldn't sleep all night, and my face, which was already dull, looked even more pitiful.
Liang Chuan pulled him to the third floor, took out his pipe and let him have a taste. When Bao Heitan first arrived in the Forbidden City, he was dumbfounded. When Grandma Liu entered the palace, everything she saw seemed grand. Even the waiters here were dressed better than him.
"This thing can relieve stress. I know you are under a lot of pressure now. Taking a few puffs can relax you a lot. In the evening, my brother will sing an opera here. Come and listen to it. Put aside your studies first. Don't worry, listen to me. You will definitely pass the exam! "
Bao Heitan asked anxiously: "Third brother, why don't you accompany us and we can go to the temple to ask for a fortune?"
Liang Chuanhaosheng advised: "There is a great system in Longhu Mountain. The Little Celestial Master has personally calculated it for you. Can those magic sticks in the temple be more effective than the Little Celestial Master?"
Bao Heitan finally calmed down.
"That's right..."
"Don't worry, if you don't pass the exam, you can take it again next time. Wouldn't it be better to come to my brother's place and work as an accountant, working during the day and studying at night?"
"Okay, you can do anything if you don't let me go back to farming!"
Liang Chuan patted him on the shoulder and thought to himself: Mr. Bao is farming? That's too humiliating.
"You like to eat hot pot. I have prepared a table of plump mutton for you. I, as my brother, can treat you as a farewell party. When you are named on the gold medal list, I will give you a grand banquet!"
"Did you arrange this play yourself, Third Brother?"
Bao Heitan also heard the Legend of the White Snake recently sung in a restaurant in the capital. He only heard the voice but not the appearance. He heard that it was staged by Liang Chuan's restaurant. Since he was here, he wanted to listen to it.
Liang Chuan waved his hand and said: "That's not enough. After listening to the Legend of the White Snake for a few days, it's a bit boring. I've arranged a new Legend of the White Fox. You can take a look at it tonight."
"Good!"
The Legend of the White Fox is directed and acted by Liang Chuan. It was born out of the famous guillotine case. However, several of the protagonists in the guillotine case are still alive. The insinuation is too obvious. Liang Chuan replaced the heroine Qin Xianglian with a white fox who has been practicing for thousands of years. , a beautiful story about accidentally meeting a scholar who was rushing to take the exam, and he transformed into a human being and came back to marry a white fox when he promised to be named on the gold medal list.
With Bai Suzhen, a white snake who has practiced spiritual practice for thousands of years, now any small animal can become a spirit. People are mentally prepared and have a sense of mystery and expectation.
"I am a fox who has practiced for thousands of years. I have practiced for thousands of years and been alone for thousands of years. In the dead of night, someone can hear me crying. In the dim light, someone can see me dancing."
It is also a tear-jerking genre. Liang Chuan is a ruthless executioner harvesting the tears of crazy men and resentful women in the city. People were still immersed in Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's unparalleled love affair between a human and a demon, but the second wave was so intense that it turned into a human-vulture love affair.
In order to maximize the effect of the stage, Liang Chuan spent a lot of money to buy a pure white fox fur from Lei Yun Gong, and Chen Yuanyuan wore the fox fur on her body when she dressed up as a white fox. Chen Yuanyuan has a beautiful face and a flawless white fox fur, as if she is a real fox fairy who has come to the world.
"When I loved you, you were penniless and studying hard, and when I left you, you were just about to be named in the wedding ceremony."
In the poignant song, people can imagine an infatuated woman transformed into a fox fairy, with a phoenix crown and garland, graceful and luxurious, and extremely beautiful, but she is leaning on the window sill with tears in her eyes. It is only because the love is too deep and long-lasting.
Bao Heitan was worthy of being a good-natured person. He secretly wiped away his tears while watching the show, and said to Liang Chuan through gritted teeth: "If I were to be a high official and meet a heartless and heartless person like Chen Shimei, I would definitely kill him with a guillotine." !”
Liang Chuan almost jumped when he heard the word guillotine. He stared straight at Bao Heitan and asked again what he just said. After getting the affirmative answer, Liang Chuan shivered. It turns out that history is destined, and some things should happen. There is God's will in it. People like Chen Shimei will still be doomed if they meet Bao Heitan. Bao Heitan is Bao Heitan now, and he may really become Bao Gong in the future, but the fate has not come yet.
It seems that Liang Chuan has brought many things into this world in advance. Originally, Liang Chuan was worried about the butterfly effect. Now it seems that he is just a small grain of sand in the desert and cannot change the trajectory of any big ship in the torrent of history.
Taking the imperial examination for high school is a life-changing event, and people in the Song Dynasty had a tradition of catching a son-in-law who was ranked below the exam. In an era when there was no public security network or civil registration, it was extremely easy to conceal marital status.
Therefore, people like Chen Shimei are not alone in abandoning their wives after high school. People sympathize with the loyalty of the little white fox, and are even more indignant at Chen Shimei's shameless behavior. Especially female compatriots, who have sacrificed their youth in exchange for such His heart was full of hatred, and he wished he could eat such a heartless man alive.
Art comes from life and is higher than life. It is precisely because there are too many such cases in the world, and few intellectuals have spoken out for women since ancient times. Liang Chuan used the play to satirize the present, and the imperial examination was about to take place. It aroused the resonance of countless people and touched people. The deepest heartstrings in my heart.
Being so deeply involved in the drama, Bao Heitan temporarily forgot that he would be taking the imperial examination soon. Liang Chuan had prepared clothes and warm knee pads for Bao Heitan. It was freezing in the early spring, and as soon as the gate of the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites was closed, it was like a war. Tian Tian should not rely on his own logistical preparations.
Bao Heitan was moved with a thick bag of clothes and warm utensils. After watching a play, the pressure was relieved a lot. At that moment, he confidently told Liang Chuan that he would be successful if he didn't go there!
Candidates have been arriving in Beijing one after another in the past few days, ranging in age from teenagers to sixty years old. It is the lifelong dream of many people to be the number one scholar in high school.
After arriving in Beijing, these candidates first reported to the Ministry of Rites, and completed the formalities of Bao Heitan early. They patiently prepared for the exam in the Imperial College, and during the period they also went to Kaifeng Prefecture to work odd jobs for a period of time.
When registering, candidates must report their family status, age, place of origin, and the number of times they have taken the imperial examination to the Ministry of Rites in order to be eligible for the exam. In fact, this level is already considered a preliminary interview. Just think about how the country can let a person in his 60s pass the first prize. It will not have much benefit in his official career, the court, or the examiner.
After reviewing the candidates' information, the Ministry of Etiquette will issue a mixed list, which is a seating chart. On the day of the exam, people will be seated according to this seating arrangement.
Veterans like Liang Chuan, who have seen all kinds of cheating, can tell at a glance that this kind of exam schedule has huge loopholes. If you know the seating arrangement, if the person sitting in front of you is a super talented person, the examinee will have a lot of time to complete it. Public relations, bribe this talented man to facilitate his actions in the examination room, then it will not be difficult to pass the Jinshi examination!
But it doesn't matter. Liang Chuan has no intention of taking the imperial examination. He is more concerned about how much money he can make. After getting the Forbidden City on the right track, he plans to return home.
He asked Sun Hopu to post a notice outside the Forbidden City, stating that all candidates taking this scientific examination can dine and watch theater in the Forbidden City for free. The Forbidden City provides various free services!
You must know that there are hundreds of candidates this time, and accommodation and food during this period are also a big expense! Liang Chuan was so generous that he entertained these candidates for free. A few hundred people was not too many for the Forbidden City, but it was not a small number either. Besides, the exam was only a few days away, so the amount of money saved was not much. Just a little bit, but this move immediately captured the hearts of countless readers!
Sun Houpu gave Liang Chuan a thumbs up and praised Liang Chuan again.
