Daming primary school students

Chapter 427
Chen Feng returned to Wugong Alley, thinking of Qin Dewei's villainous face, he still felt terrified.

Not long after, Xu Gu who lived with him also came back, Chen Feng asked Xu Gu: "Stone City, is the boundary of the capital really so terrible?"

Xu Gu felt baffled, "What's so scary?"

This Xu Gu is different from Chen Feng, he was admitted in the tenth year of Jiajing, and he has already passed the capital exam once.

Counting this time, he went to the capital twice, and he didn't feel anything terrible. He really didn't understand what Chen Feng meant.

Chen Feng thought for a while, Xu Gu was not an outsider, and Qin Dewei didn't say that Xu Gu would not know the list, so he told about today's experience.

Then he said: "Why did Qin Banqiao become like this when he arrived in the capital? It's too exaggerated to say that people on the list are killed for no reason, not to mention whether there is a bottom line for being a human being. I listen Just be afraid."

Xu Gu said disapprovingly: "He's just talking nonsense, you just listen to it, why take it to heart! Maybe this is called doing as the Romans do, and many people in the capital talk like this."

Chen Feng came to the capital for the first time, and asked suspiciously: "Do as the Romans do? Are the locals in the capital like this?"

Xu Gu patiently explained: "I'm not talking about local people, not all the people here in the capital are local, there are many from all over the place.

A large number of officials in Beijing, scholars studying, businessmen, and craftsmen who stayed in the military gathered in the capital. Somehow, such a flamboyant atmosphere formed in the capital.

For example, every spring, in order to wear new clothes, even if you have no money, you have to sell your winter clothes and change into new spring clothes, just to look good in front of people. "

Chen Feng gradually understood that Qin Dewei's tone of voice was a way of exaggeration?
During the period when they rushed to take the exam and just arrived in the capital, they had two main tasks. One was to register at the Ministry of Rites.

The second is to visit and walk around all the relationships that may be used, maybe the opportunity will be in that relationship.

Going to the Ministry of Rites to register needless to say, it's all a procedural matter.

As for things like visiting and walking, most of the time, we can only walk around separately. After all, everyone's interpersonal relationship is different.

Qin Dewei didn't have many people to visit in the capital, apart from Zhang Xueshi, there were only the Heavenly Official Master Xia of the Ministry of Officials and the chief minister of the Ministry of Punishment Wang Tingxiang.

They sent people to vote for invitations first, and agreed on the date of visit.Then according to the date, I went to visit Xiaguan first.

Now there are more cars and sedans outside the gate of Xiafu, which even caused traffic jams.

There are roughly two reasons. The first is that at the end of the year, there are more visits than usual.

Second, next spring will be the exam. Because of the canal, the beginning of November is the peak time for students from the south to arrive in Beijing.

And Jiangxi is a super province of imperial examinations, so there must be countless people who come to see Master Xia, who is in charge of Jiangxi.

Qin Dewei took a quick glance outside the door, and he could tell that Master Xia is now more powerful than when he was Minister of Rites.

After the concierge put in the post, he didn't get a reply immediately, so Qin Dewei could only wait.

He waited from morning until noon, but he was still not invited in. Qin Dewei, who was facing the cold wind outside the door, was a little upset.

As a famous poet and the top five classics of Nanzhili Township Examination, Qin Banqiao feels that he has not been treated so slowly for a long time.

It's not that he, Qin Dewei, is arrogant and takes himself too seriously.He just wanted to ask, did you, Master Xia, forget how did this Heavenly Official come from?

Even if you yourself are temporarily too busy to meet him, how about the Qing Ke in your house to help?Is it hard to come in and have a cup of hot tea first?

What is said in the historical data is true, this master Xia is easy to be smug when he is full of ambitions, and finally loses to Yan Song who came from behind.

In the mansion, in the afternoon, Xia Yan sent away another group of scholars from their hometown of Jiangxi.

After flipping through the worship post, he ordered: "Invite Qin Dewei from Jinling."

Not long after, he came back from the gate and said: "Qin Dewei is not here, he has probably left."

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let him go."

Just go, you have nothing to lose.

After Qin Dewei left from the gate of Xia Mansion, he went to the Ministry of Punishment.

Spring and autumn are the busiest times of the year.In winter, especially when the end of the year is approaching, they are generally idle.

Therefore, Wang Tingxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, has a lot of time at the moment, and Qin Dewei was directly led to the back hall.

Wang Tingxiang asked in surprise: "Didn't you agree to visit at home tomorrow? Why did you come to the government office today?"

Qin Dewei made a salute and said, "I'll finish what I have to do today, and then I'll study behind closed doors to prepare for the exam!"

Wang Tingxiang smiled and said: "Old man sees your tone is very unpleasant, who offended you?"

Qin Dewei couldn't help complaining: "The threshold for an official family is very high in Xia Tian. I went to visit today, but I couldn't get in."

Wang Tingxiang explained: "It's fine if you don't see Xia Guizhou, but how many people in the court still hate you, if you see Xia Guizhou, it will attract people's attention.

Listen to the old man's advice, it's better for you to keep a low profile, if you can pass the exam, pass the exam, if you don't pass the exam, leave Beijing quickly. "

Qin Dewei knew that what Wang Tingxiang said was not unreasonable, so he bowed and said, "I would like to be taught."

Wang Tingxiang sighed again: "Actually, the old man thinks that it is not a good time for you to participate in the competition this time."

Qin Dewei then asked, "Why did your lord say such a thing?"

Wang Tingxiang explained: "The exams are good, they are all closed and obscure, and it is very difficult for outsiders to interfere.

If you have tried it, you will be at a disadvantage when it comes to the palace test that determines the final ranking.

In the procedure of reading papers for the imperial examination, the cabinet, especially the chief assistant, has a great say.Zhang Fujing, Fang Xianfu, Wang Hong, and Huo Tao would probably all be examiners, since there are so many of them.

So it is basically impossible for you to get a good ranking. If you are pushed to the bottom of the top three, it would be worse for you than losing! "

Qin Dewei was also a little startled as he listened.

Anyone who understands the imperial examination knows that the general examination determines admission or not, and the palace examination determines the final ranking.

The ranking in the imperial examination is also very important, and can even directly affect the starting point and future of officialdom.

I dare not expect extravagantly to be No. [-] in the list, but generally those who do well in officialdom are at least second-class.

Even if Erjia can't be selected as a good scholar, there is a high probability that he can be the head of the six departments.

And if the top three can't do it well, they will be such rubbish positions as pedestrian department, such as Master Feng back then.

Besides, the famous poet and the future overlord of the literary world don't want to lose face?I have never heard of a top-ranked Jinshi as a leader in the literary world!
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei also secretly sighed, what a crime, if you take the test by yourself, how come you still get a shocking feeling in the test?

The test is vague and difficult!The imperial examination is semi-public, and it is so difficult!
Those who ride horses, do they really want their own gods to block and kill gods, and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas?This is a bit difficult.
