Liu Chengyou became more interested and glanced at Zhang Ji: "Practical questions are set by the emperor himself in order to identify scholars' practical ability and thinking ability. Do you dare to object?"
Hearing this question, Zhang Jie also replied: "The imperial court has a system of observing the administration. If after the inspection is over, when appointing officials, the practical examination questions will be used to assess the good and the bad. We will have nothing to say!"
"Haha!" Liu Chengyou curled his lips and retorted: "The practical exams are all the most superficial and basic questions. As long as you have knowledge, read more laws, and read more official documents, you will always gain something, and the court has no requirements. All scholars must answer perfectly.
Furthermore, you can obtain the qualifications for the college entrance examination, gain fame in the local area, and be exposed to some current affairs. Could it be that to watch politics, you can only go to Tokyo, finish the exams, release the results, and then start making arrangements with the court?
Do you know why the emperor specially added practical examination questions? I am afraid that some scholars only know how to study and do not know how to see more of the world outside the book. If your knowledge is shallow, no matter how many books you read, you are still just a nerd!
Since the imperial court has become more practical, scholars in the world, even if it is to become an official, should learn more about it and understand it! "
Liu Chengyou's tone when he spoke was a bit harsh, and Zhang Jie was a little frightened. But I thought about it seriously, thoughtfully, although I still looked unconvinced.
Looking at Liu Chengyou, the surprised look gradually disappeared, and he said with a little doubt in his eyes: "May I ask my brother, why do you know so much about the test questions and His Majesty's considerations?"
"Guess?" Zhang Ji choked with one sentence.
After the description was extended, Liu Chengyou said a little casually: "I am also a scholar of Jinke!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jie immediately shook his head.
Liu Chengyou said: "Why, it doesn't look like it?"
"Not like it?" Zhang Jie shook his head and said in a thoughtful tone: "Brother Guan, you are an extraordinary person. I think you come from a noble family, but you are definitely not a scholar! Now that the exam is over, I'm a scholar who is taking the exam, so be nervous. The release of the list is definitely not like Xiongtai, accompanied by a beautiful woman, leisurely and free!"
"That's because I'm sure to win the undergraduate degree!" Liu Chengyou raised his head slightly and his tone was extremely firm.
With his brows slightly furrowed, Zhang Jie said, "Why are you so confident, brother?"
Liu Chengyou's smile grew brighter: "We know Gongju, Minister of Rites, and Ninghe Gong. They have a close relationship with my family. We also have a close relationship with Zhao Gong, the envoy of Xuanzong. It’s not a problem to become a Jinshi!”
Hearing what he said, Zhang Jie also laughed, and his expression became more and more relaxed: "Brother, you are just joking, how can you be so arrogant? In this scientific examination, Milu Teng Feng was implemented, which almost eliminated favoritism and malpractice. Furthermore, you and I met by chance. , Brother, if you accuse me of this, aren’t you afraid that I will report it to the government? That’s why, this is just a joke, Brother!”
Seeing what he was deducing, Liu Chengyou became more and more interested, and his expression suddenly became cold: "You are still too young! The system of Milu Tengfeng is good, but it also needs people to implement it. As for the rest, it depends on my family The power in Tokyo is enough to cover the sky with one hand. If you want to report me, I can guarantee that you will not get out of Shangxianfang. Even if you get to Kaifeng Mansion, it will be the result of being imprisoned..."
The gaze released from those eyes was as sharp as a knife. Zhang Ji couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment, and couldn't help but swallow. But then I thought about it and shook my head.
"What, you don't believe it?" Liu Chengyou turned to look at Zhao Kuangyin: "Yuan Long, take him to Kaifeng Mansion Prison!"
Zhao Kuangyin also obviously saw that Liu Chengyou was teasing Zhang Ji, his face became stern in response, he turned his head and shouted: "Come here!"
The guards broke in and waited for orders. After hearing the order, they immediately stepped forward to lock Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji, a scholar with almost no ability to resist, was anxious when he saw this and said quickly: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
"Let him go!" After waving his hand, Liu Chengyou leaned over and looked at Zhang Ji with a smile: "Do you believe it?"
After twisting his shoulders, Zhang Ji straightened his messed up clothes, saluted Liu Chengyou, and his handsome face regained its calmness, saying: "Although my eyes are shallow, my conversation, behavior, and knowledge are obviously If you are a high-ranking scholar, it will be easy to pass the Jinshi exam, so there is no need to cheat.
Furthermore, as Xiongtai said, the power in the family is overwhelming, so there is no need to participate in the scientific examination, when he can directly become an official under his cover. As for Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Jing Fan Jinggong, who has always been upright, how could he accept me, an innocent person, and put me in prison..."
As he spoke, Zhang Ji frowned again. No matter how you analyze it, Liu Chengyou's words are full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny.
"Isn't it a crime to make irresponsible remarks about the scientific examination system and criticize the emperor? Shouldn't we be punished?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Zhang Jie murmured: "I just expressed some personal opinions, talked eloquently, and speculated on the emperor's thoughts, but your Excellency..."
"You and I are different!" Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou laughed heartily a few times, and said to the left and right: "I never thought that the Jinshi Tower and the group would be so interesting. It seems that the scholars of Jinke, There are still talents!”
As he said that, Liu Chengyou looked at Zhang Ji again and his expression became serious: "From the way you dress, behave and talk, you are not an ordinary scholar. Especially, you seem to have some understanding of the court system and officials. You must not have a simple background!"
He didn't answer, and looked at Liu Chengyou with a bit of caution, but he was ignored.
Withdrawing his gaze, Liu Chengyou stood up and handed his hand to Da Zhou. The little lady also gracefully stretched out her slender hand, took Da Zhou and was about to leave. She finally said: "I hope you can go to high school! Farewell!"
Zhang Jie was stunned there, turned around and looked at the backs of Liu Chengyou and Mrs. Zhou, who were snuggling away, and couldn't help but ask: "Dare you ask me your surname, brother?"
"I think we will have a chance to meet again!" He pretended to be *, and left leisurely under the protection of Zhao Kuangyin and others.
"Guardian, do you want to check Zhang Ji's background or read his answer sheet?" Zhang Dejun asked smartly before getting in the car.
Liu Chengyou's reaction was straightforward. He waved his hand and said, "No! If there are no accidents, this person should be on the list for the imperial examination!"
It was already getting late, and dusk was approaching. On the streets of Kaifeng, many houses were lit with lights. They were not very bright, but from a distance, there was a hazy beauty.
In the car, Mrs. Zhou lay gently in Liu Chengyou's arms and asked curiously: "The official seems to appreciate that piece of hair?"
Gently sniffing the fragrance on the young lady's bun, Liu Chengyou shook his head and said in a cold tone: "No, I'm jealous of him!"
Da Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but show some doubts on his beautiful face: "That Zhang Jie looks a bit talented and has a sharp mind, but he is not worthy of your jealousy as an official... .”
The other hand wrapped around Da Zhou's Liu waist and pressed against her body forcefully. Liu Chengyou said quietly: "I'm jealous of him. He's much prettier than me..."
Da Zhou couldn't help being stunned, and then he realized that Liu Chengyou was joking. He opened his mouth to say something, but the emperor's mouth had already kissed her, leaving only a few seductive moans.
In this private car, ambiguity is always easy to arise, and the slight vibrations while driving are even more fascinating. No matter what she did, after returning to the palace and getting off the bus, Concubine Zhou Shu's pretty face was flushed and charming. Regardless of the fatigue and dust all over her body, she was pulled to the bedroom...
The more delicate the flowers, the more they need care and nourishment.
On the second day of Liu Chengyou's trip, the Jinshi Building in Shangxianfang had its plaque changed and its name changed. The reason was simple: the emperor didn't like it. As for its owner, it was Xuanwei who sent Zhao Shangjiao to his residence. Zhao Shangjiao was Zhao Huo's father, and the relationship between them was already very clear.
After a few days, the tribute officials worked overtime to seal, mark, and evaluate the results, and finally the results were obtained. As soon as the official list came out, it also meant that the climax of the spring period was coming. The result was natural, and the scholars who entered the capital were mixed with sadness and joy.
There are quite a lot of places to be admitted to the scholarship program this year. There are 339 people who have entered the top three in the Jinshi subject alone. Zhang Jie, who had a relationship with Liu Chengyou, was originally planned to be the first in the first class, but during the palace examination, he was ranked third and became the new flower scout.
