The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 45

Bai Gui is a veteran of the exam and knows what to write and what not to write.

But Lu Zhaopeng couldn't do it. The young man was full of enthusiasm. Although he knew that the reform should not be written in this exam, he still couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart and wrote it.

The two people in front also noticed it, and just sighed lightly.

At this time, it's okay to cry.

wait.

"Let's go."

Lu Zhaopeng wiped his sleeves, wiped away his tears, regained his composure, and entered the academy with the others carrying the test basket.

Candles were lit in the back house of the academy.

It was Mr. Zhu and his wife Zhu Bai who were waiting.

"I think you have been taking exams all day, and you haven't eaten a good meal these days. Your teacher's wife cooks a good meal for you. Come over and eat together."

Several people put down their test baskets and thanked Zhu Baishi and Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Bai walked out with little feet, leaving only a few men on the table.

……

The next day.

County government office, back house.

The ancient county magistrate woke up early in the morning to review the test papers. The test papers of nearly a thousand people were selected by the clerks in the ceremony room last night. to eight hundred copies.

Thick test papers are piled up on the table in the study.

There is no name on it, only the test number of the test room, in order to prevent the examiner from cheating for personal gain.

"Reform? Heh!"

The Gu county magistrate snorted coldly, and casually dismissed candidates who spoke fiercely one by one. However, when he saw a few candidates who had something to say, he would show pity and put them aside for the time being. Did not stop.

Most of the examinees who advocate the reform are saying nothing, only talking about the disadvantages of the unchanged method, but when it comes to the improvement measures, few people can say it.

This is the same as Bai Juyi's "The Charcoal Sellers", the writing is sincere and makes people cry, but then no improvement measures are proposed. This is the thing that annoys the rulers the most...

But unfortunately, Bai Juyi's talent is not comparable to these people.

"This test paper is not bad..."

The ancient county magistrate was a little appreciative. He looked at the broken titles of the four books, and couldn't help reciting softly, "The sage passed on the knowledge of the ancestors, sent troops to Lu, and spread the virtues of Duke Zhou. Although Qi is great, Duke Jing can't be willing." sleep soundly."

"Not bad, it's good to break the problem..."

He looked at the follow-up writing again, and nodded slightly, "Although I tend to be conservative, it still wins my heart."

"It's just that I don't know how the historical theory is written."

The ancient county magistrate skipped the Five Classics questions and looked at the historical theories. His eyes lit up immediately. Confucianism is the way of Confucianism, and Western learning is for practical use.

Xiangshuai refers to Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Zhidong is called Xiangtao, and he is also an important minister of the Military Aircraft Department, so he is called Xiangshuai.

"The answer to this topic on personal history fits Xiangshuai's thoughts..."

The ancient county magistrate agreed.

He was the Jinshi who was admitted when he presided over the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty.He has a positive attitude towards learning Western learning, but he is negative about learning Western learning in its entirety. He hopes for reform and is afraid of reform.

To put it simply, these officials in the current Qing Dynasty were originally reformists, but they did not keep up with the times and tended to conservative reforms, or reforms, so they were conservatives.

"This volume can be the first case!"

The ancient county magistrate looked through the titles of the Five Classics again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he asserted.

He put this test paper separately.

Just when he was halfway through grading the examination papers, the maidservant who was waiting by the side suddenly said: "Master, Master Liu is here."

"welcome."

The ancient county magistrate said.

Although Master Liu is his staff member, his status is not low with him, and he also intends to act like a virtuous corporal.

Soon, Master Liu entered slowly.

When the Gu county magistrate was beside him, he gestured with his eyes, and then the Gu county magistrate listened to him.

"What? A white pheasant appeared under the rule?"

The ancient county magistrate couldn't help but exclaimed, got up from the rattan chair, paced back and forth, his face showed excitement, now that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Guangxu were newly mourned, the court was in a state of depression, without the Empress Dowager, the center of the court would not be Several people have the prestige to suppress the southern provinces, and they all feel that the Qing Dynasty is on the verge of collapse.

At this time...if he is under his rule, if there is a white pheasant auspicious...

That must be a reward plus a promotion!

"Where is it from?"

The ancient county magistrate restrained his mind and asked.

"County Master, I have inquired about it. This is a white pheasant that appeared in Bailu Village. I heard that it was a wild egg picked up by a widower's son in their village. After hatching, it became a white pheasant, and this widower's son is currently participating in the county test... "

Master Liu rubbed his hands, also happy.

Good thing, this is a great thing, once the ancient county magistrate is promoted, the status of their staff will also be improved.

""Zhou Li · Chun Guan · Da Zong Bo" said: "The solitary holds the skin, the Qing holds the lamb, the doctor holds the geese, the scholar holds the pheasant, the common people hold the duck, and the businessman holds the chicken." Now he is taking the imperial examination, which is Good thing!"

The Gu county magistrate took a deep breath, and immediately felt that God was helping me.

What is a taxi?
A person who has read a few books cannot be called a scholar.Only those who have fame can be called scholars.

Coincidentally, this person is on a scientific research.

A commoner discovers a white pheasant, or a Confucian scholar raises a white pheasant, which one is more gimmick?

"This person must be selected regardless of the article!"

The Gu county magistrate made an immediate decision and asked the clerks in Zuojin to get the number book immediately and find the person Master Liu mentioned.

"That man is Mr. Zhu's disciple, named Bai Gui."

"Xianzun, you talked to him in person at the Confucian Temple that day."

Master Liu said again.

"It's him?"

The Gu county magistrate's expression changed for a while, and he sighed softly: "I know Brother Meng Zhou's idea is good, and there is room for maneuver in this matter. Now the court is not the same as in the past. In the past, it was said to release the servants who built the mausoleum. It must be the end of beheading, but it is different now, the court may allow brother Meng Zhou's letter..."

"But...if these servants are pardoned, then the officials from all over the Qin Province will suffer."

"Brother Meng Zhou may also ask to beheaded!"

Although he is a small county magistrate, he is also a Bailihou, and he is very clear about human affairs and morals.

Once the remonstrance is written to the imperial court, in order to avoid heated discussions among the scholars and the people and the interference of foreigners' humanitarianism, it may follow the trend and pardon the conscripts, but the officials of Qin Province will definitely be punished.As a result, the court lost face!
Therefore, the top and bottom officials of Qin Province colluded for their own official hats, and this matter was suppressed.

Fortunately, the imperial court is now fighting for power, chaotic and disorderly, and no one has time to take care of this place.

"Let's just read his article."

The ancient county magistrate hesitated.

After a while, the number score was brought over, but after searching all the examination papers that were being graded and those that had already been graded, the paper for 'Di——Ding Chen' was not found.

"Strange, why not?"

The ancient county magistrate wondered.

"County magistrate, and that test paper..."

Master Liu pointed to the test paper that was put aside and regarded as the head of the case by the ancient county magistrate.
