Seven days later, in Tiance's mansion, Bai Yuxian got married again and married Liu Yiren. The whole house was decorated with lights and decorations.
Compared to the time when I married Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling a few years ago, the scale of this wedding was relatively smaller, but it was still not bad.
Li Bai, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Du Fu, Wang Yanlin, Song Xiuwen and other friends were present again. In addition, many of Bai Yuxian's classmates in the Imperial College and many civil and military officials from Beijing also came. It could still be said that the house was full of guests.
Today's Bai Yuxian can be said to be a real dignitary who talks and laughs, and has no white people in his dealings.
It also made Liu Zongzheng, who was the new father-in-law at the wedding, extremely happy, especially when he looked at the many guests arriving at the wedding. At a glance, they were basically all young celebrities from Beijing and powerful people of the day.
After finding such a powerful son-in-law with an unlimited future, who would his father-in-law need to fear in Xiangzhou from now on?
Bai Yuxian also saw Liu Zongzheng's performance clearly, and also guessed Liu Zongzheng's thoughts clearly. He even knew that after the wedding, Liu Zongzheng would definitely need to borrow money when he returned to Xiangzhou. With his fame and power, he vigorously develops the Liu family and seizes benefits.
But Bai Yuxian didn't care about this.
Liu Zongzheng wanted to use his power to develop the Liu family, and Bai Yuxian also took a fancy to the Liu family's power and money.
Because in the future, when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, if he wanted to fight for the world with troops, in addition to soldiers, he would also need money, otherwise he would not have money to raise troops.
So in this case, now that he has married Liu Yiren, the Liu family is undoubtedly a good choice.
Although Bai Yuxian is not happy with Liu Zongzheng's father-in-law's behavior, it has to be said that Liu Zongzheng also has one advantage, that is, he is aware of current affairs. As long as he is given enough benefits, he will definitely be obedient and do things.
This kind of person is also easier to control.
Especially now that they are married, I believe Liu Zongzheng and the entire Liu family will be more willing to support him.
And as long as Liu Zongzheng and the Liu family are willing to obey in the future, then Bai Yuxian will naturally not mind giving corresponding benefits to the Liu family.
After the wedding, Liu Yiren also became the wife of the white jade fairy matchmaker as a common wife.
If calculated in this way, Bai Yuxian now has five wives and concubines at home.
His wife, Han Shiyin.
Pingzuma Xiangling and Liu Yiren.
Concubine Liu Hongxiu and Li Shishi.
However, this number is not large in this era.
In today's Tang Dynasty, no family of a powerful person like Bai Yuxian has ten or eight wives and concubines, not to mention other beauties, who are relatively few like Bai Yuxian.
After the wedding, Liu Zongzheng did not stay in the capital any longer. Instead, he took the Liu family and left the capital two days later.
Now that the wedding has ended, the marriage has been completed, and even his son Liu Yu has taken this opportunity to stay in the capital and study with Bai Yuxian. The future is bright. Under such circumstances, Liu Zongzheng naturally has no need to stay any longer, and he can't wait any longer. I want to return to Xiangzhou to bring this good news back, and at the same time take this opportunity to develop the Liu family.
At the same time, when leaving, Liu Zongzheng also left behind all the things he had come to this time, including one hundred thousand taels of gold and many silks, satins, and precious jades worth tens of thousands of gold.
These are also dowries given by the Liu family.
——
Time flies by, and after Bai Yuxian officially married Liu Yiren, time quickly entered March.
Spring returns in March, the grass grows and orioles fly.
The three-year spring examination of the Tang Dynasty has officially begun, and students from all over the world have gathered in Chang'an at this moment.
"I will take the exam today and wish my son a prosperous literary career."
"I wish my husband a prosperous career."
"I wish the general a prosperous future."
"."
On the morning when the examination officially came, Bai Yuxian got up early and put on a scholar's uniform. Then she walked out of Tiance Mansion amid the blessings of her mother, wife, maids and servants.
There are two spring examinations, one is the general examination and the other is the palace examination.
The general examination is the same as the previous imperial examination. Candidates enter the examination room uniformly, but the standards are higher and more difficult. Only Juren students can participate. During the examination, all the Juren students from all over the world gather together to compete for high school places. If they pass the examination, He is a prospective Jinshi.
After passing the high school examination, you can take the palace examination. The palace examination is usually held half a month after the results of the examination are released. The emperor will personally set the questions for assessment. If you pass, you will be a real Jinshi. At the same time, the top three will be selected by the emperor himself.
Generally speaking, as long as you pass the general examination, you will basically not fail the palace examination as long as there are no major problems. The only difference is often that there may be some changes in ranking compared to the general examination.
For example, Huiyuan, who came first in the general examination, may not still be first in the palace examination.
The ranking in the palace examination mainly depends on the emperor's wishes, especially the top three positions in the palace examination, the top three, the second place, and the top three are all named by the emperor himself.
Therefore, the top three rankings in the palace examination are often ranked based on the emperor's preferences rather than necessarily based on performance.
In this way, the combined examination and the palace examination are collectively called the spring examination.
Bai Yuxian's requirements for this spring exam are not high. He just needs to get the first place in the Huiyuan exam and the top three in the palace exam.
The reason why Huiyuan won the first place in the imperial examination is because Bai Yuxian has absolute confidence in his talents and learning and can beat anyone. The reason why the palace examination only requires the top three is because the ranking in the palace examination is not about talent, but about the emperor Li Longji's ideas. With his own In this case, Bai Yuxian felt that it was very likely that he would be selected as the top pick.
Therefore, regarding the ranking in the palace examination, Bai Yuxian cannot guarantee that he will be the top pick, just the top three.
After all, this face of mine was born for looking at flowers.
After leaving the Tiance Mansion's house, Bai Yuxian walked directly towards the examination room.
The examination room for the general examination was still at Taiyuan College, his old place where he had taken the exam many times.
Not long after we arrived at the gate of Taiyuan College, many students were already gathering here.
"General Bai."
"General Bai."
"I've met General Bai."
"."
Seeing Bai Yuxian, many students from the capital immediately recognized him and saluted him.
"Everyone is welcome. Today we are all reference students. No matter what else, we can just be friends with each other. Jade Immortal has met you all and wishes you a prosperous career in the spring exam."
Bai Yuxian cupped his hands and said with a smile, looking around at everyone present with a smile and a fist in his hand.
"He is in a high position but not arrogant. General Bai is as humble as jade and behaves like a gentleman."
Bai Yuxian's actions immediately won the favor of everyone present.
Of course, although Bai Yuxian said that everyone was on equal terms and did not need to care about their status, deep down, if they really wanted to talk to Bai Yuxian, most people present would still be in awe.
It's like when you meet a leader and the leader tells you not to care about your identity, but do you really dare to not care about it?
And now that Bai Yuxian has become an official and leads the Tiance army, he has become the imperial general of Tiance and leads an army alone. The power of being a general has been accumulated for a long time, and Bai Yuxian's power has become more and more powerful, making it difficult to ignore.
"Brother Bai."
"Brother Cui, Brother Su, Brother Wang, Brother Song."
Soon Bai Yuxian saw four friends Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Wang Yanlin, and Song Xiuwen who also came for reference.
The five people met each other.
Du Fu did not come.
Because Du Fu did not participate in the spring examination, because Du Fu's family felt that Du Fu was still too young, only twelve or thirteen years old. If he really took part in the spring examination and won the Jinshi and became an official, it would be too much. conspicuous,
Du Fu's family deliberately delayed Du Fu's entry into officialdom until the next spring examination, as they did not want Du Fu to be too conspicuous.
After all, with Du Fu's talent, if he really wanted to take part in the spring examination, he would definitely be able to pass it. Once he becomes a Jinshi at the age of twelve in high school, he will be famous, but it is not necessarily a good thing.
In ancient times, Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve. Although his reputation has been passed down through the ages, what happened to Gan Luo?
As the saying goes, everything that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Sometimes it is not always a good thing to stand out too much.
"clang-!"
Soon, as the time came, the spring examination of Jinke officially began.
There are three subjects in the examination.
Classical meanings, articles, and strategies.
One subject per day, completed in three days.
After the exam, the results will be announced half a month later.
During the three-day exam, Bai Yuxian wrote like a god, and his writing was like a dragon, a snake, and flowing water.
After three days of this, the examination will be over.
After the general examination was over, half a month passed quickly, and the results of the general examination were announced.
"In this examination, there were 9,723 students in total, and 243 students were selected."
At the entrance of Taiyue College, the scene became quiet as the civil servants who came out began to announce the results of the examination.
Bai Yuxian and his friends Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Wang Yanlin, Song Xiuwen and others also came to the scene.
"No. 243 of the Jinke Examination, Wang Xuefu"
"Wang Yanlin ranked 109th in the Jinke Examination"
"Song Xiuwen ranked 78th in the Jinke Examination"
"Forty-seventh place in the current examination, Su Jin."
"Second place in Jinke Examination, Cui Zongzhi"
"First place in this examination, Bai Yuxian!"
