The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 458 (Thanks to the little girl who bought the arms for the reward)

The next day, the sky was bright.

Bai Gui got out of bed, walked to the back room of the inn, used the well connected to the Jinghe River to wash up, and then punched a round to temper his body in this world.

In terms of physique, he has activated the power of nine oxen and two tigers, and even this power of nine oxen and two tigers has been promoted to the supernatural power of shaking mountains and shaking the earth, but this is the potential of his physique, and he needs to be tempered day by day to bring it out. real strength.

Going out, I went to Dongshi to buy some breakfast.

After returning to the house, the Dongting Dragon Girl woke up from the collapse, saw that Bai Gui had bought her breakfast, her beautiful eyes were reddish, and she said with tears: "This is how I know that I have really met a good family. In the past, Mr. Jingyang treated me very well. Hit and scold, now that there is a king, the servants feel that the previous sufferings are all worth it..."

The two fell in love with each other again.

"Bai Lang, this is the dragon bead left by the previous Dongting Dragon Lord. You practice Taoism and martial arts. If you have this bead in your hand, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Use this bead to soak in water every day, just take it with warm water. Wearing it on your body will also gather inspiration..."

Three Dragon Girls took out a fist-sized, golden orb from her bosom, handed it to Bai Gui, and said.

Although the immortal gods do not distinguish between the attributes of the five elements, each immortal god has a preference for the attributes of the five elements.For example, Bai Gui, who cultivates the golden elixir avenue, is also the God of Wealth, and is more golden.

The same is true for the Golden Dragon Ball that the Three Dragon Girls handed to Bai Gui.Whether it is a fire monk or an earth monk, etc., Golden Dragon Ball will help them to a certain extent.It's just that compared to other attributes, Golden Dragon Ball is more helpful to metal monks.

"Don't tire yourself out."

Sanlongnv said worriedly.

"This Dragon Ball..."

Bai Gui didn't reach out to pick it up, he was hesitant.

"Don't worry, I have already reported this matter to the queen mother." Dongting Dragon Girl knew what Bai Gui was worried about. The dragon ball is the essence of the dragon's life. It is extremely precious and not an ordinary thing. Dragon Ball can thank you, besides, you and I have already..."

Her pink face is covered with red clouds, and she is charming and charming.

The style of a young woman is very touching.

"No wonder Cao Cao likes being a Cao thief so much..."

Seeing the Dongting Dragon Girl at this moment, Bai Gui knew the reason why everyone likes to be Cao thief.

Having said all this, Bai Gui had no choice but to take over the Golden Dragon Ball from the Dongting Dragon Girl.He opened his mouth, and the golden dragon ball was swallowed by him.

In an instant, [-]% of the divine power of the Golden Dragon Ball was refined by him, and his cultivation gradually increased visibly to the naked eye.

"With three more Dragon Balls of the same level, the Celestial Immortal's skills will be enough."

he thought.

This Golden Dragon Ball may not seem like an easy gift from the Dongting Dragon Girl, but it is actually not low in grade, so it is not easy to get it.He also knew that because of his strategy, Dongting Dragon Lord appreciated him very much, and he was a potential, almost certain son-in-law, that's why Dongting Shuimin took out such a dragon ball and gave it to him as a gift. Help him improve his morality, so that he can stay with the dragon girl of Dongting.

Otherwise, how could a mortal marry a dragon girl!
It's just that after Bai Gui swallowed the dragon ball, his lust suddenly became aroused.

Dragon nature is kinky.

Although he can restrain himself with cultivation, but with a beautiful woman in his arms, how can he deliberately endure it.

The two then went up again.

Riding a dragon….

……

The following year, late February.

Shangshu provincial etiquette examination.

With Yin Kaishan's appreciation, Bai Gui is at the top of the list of sages, and his calligraphy is first-rate.Therefore, Bai Gui's examination paper was quickly passed on to the imperial table.

In the Hall of Tai Chi, Li Shimin read the test papers of all the candidates.

The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was immature, and some emperors were powerful enough to intervene in the imperial examinations and inspect them in person.Some emperors are weak, and the courtiers are in power.Bai Gui participated in the imperial examination during the Jingyun period of the Great Tang Dynasty. The emperor was Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of Tang Dynasty. Li Dan was a famous cowardly monarch, so the power of reviewing papers was controlled by the court in charge of Li Longji.

But Li Shimin is definitely a strong emperor.

"Auxiliary machine, among the current subjects, I am most interested in two people. One is Ma Zhou. Chang He is lacking in literary theory, but the memorials he submits often have something to say. I asked Chang He once, and all the memorials he submitted were Ma Zhou. Zhou’s writing shows that this man is talented. The two are Bai Gui, this man’s calligraphy is good, and his policy theory is also well-organized. After a long time, he must have the ability to govern the country..."

After reading the test paper presented by the Ministry of Rites, Li Shimin said calmly.

Auxiliary machine, Changsun Wuji's word.

"These two people may be good, but not enough to convince the public."

Changsun Wuji frowned and reminded softly.

It's not that Bai Gui and Ma Zhou, two humble scholars, are not enough to convince the public, but they can stand out from the humble, and they will definitely convince the public.But taking these two people as the head is undoubtedly losing face to the aristocratic family.

"With me here, the two of them can convince everyone."

"However..., what you said is also reasonable. Although I can suppress the criticism of the government and the public, but for these two people, it is inevitable that they will be envied by others. They are national soldiers, and they must not be destroyed by me because of this."

Li Shimin smiled nonchalantly, took out the test papers of three more people, and said, "These three people, the test papers are well written, they can be top grade."

The eldest grandson Wuji took a closer look, he was a descendant of the Cui family of Boling, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Lu family of Fanyang.

These three families are all one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Holding the wat board in his hand, he replied.

As the emperor, Li Shimin, how can he not know that scientific research is originally a political measure to balance the court.Said to promote Bai Gui and Ma Tuesday, but changed his mind afterwards. This is not doing any useless work, but a political show.

In this way, outsiders know about it.

It can be known that, firstly, His Majesty intends to restrict the aristocratic family. This is a political statement, and it will be followed by others. He will definitely use this to curb the development trend of the aristocratic family. The second is to accept the heart of poor scholars, and the third is to accept the heart of Baigui and Ma Zhou... …

A few days later, the Ministry of Rites released the list.

Bai Gui ranked fifth, earning the title of Tan Hua Lang.

In the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty, there was only one champion, and the reason why the second place was called the second place was because there were two eyes, and No.2 and No.3 were both second place.And Tanhualang, also two people, chose a young and handsome man to travel around famous gardens, looking for famous flowers, hence the name Tanhua.As usual, Tanhua is usually two people.

(Tanhua in the Tang Dynasty was not a fixed ranking, but handsome people were selected as Tanhua.)
"Brother Bin Wang, don't sigh."

"The number one scholar and the second place are just titles, and the real official position is established through the official examination and selection by the Ministry of Officials."

Under the list of the Ministry of Rites, Bai Gui said to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou, courtesy name Bin Wang.

Among the poor families, there are many talented people, but there are not many talented people who came to participate in the imperial examination this time.Ma Zhou was one of them.And this time Li Shimin put the two of them side by side. It is inevitable that the friendship between the two has increased a lot because of their backgrounds.

"I also know about this, but after studying for so many years, if the skills are not as good as others, it's fine, but... I never wanted to lose in the family."

Ma Zhou complained.

Bai Gui was noncommittal and didn't say much.

He had been the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and only then did he know what the top management really thought.Is the imperial examination for the fair selection of scholars?Not!Fairness is just an appearance of it as a check and balance of court power.

Thinking about this clearly, why is it necessary to complain about the fairness of the imperial examination.

This thing is always a system created for class stability.It will be fair when the superstructure requires it to be balanced.It's naturally unfair when it's not needed.

"Brother Bin Wang is a great talent, even if he fails for a while, he will shine in the future."

When leaving, Bai Gui smiled.

"Brother is also a great talent."

Ma Zhou arched his hands and said with a smile.

Although he complained, he was not too angry about it.Poor scholars, you have suffered enough.This little setback, endure it and pass it.
