Chapter 90 Really Barbarian (Fourth Update!)
Factional struggles in the imperial court were very cruel.

If you are not careful, ten or even decades of hard work will come to naught, and the powerful people will drive you home to farm when they say they will send you home to farm.

Therefore, even the middle class of the "Yang faction" like Chen Yu had to find a way out for himself now.

However, Chen Yu still has some integrity after all, he didn't "turn from a turtle to an eagle" like those people in the court.

Chen Yu just wanted to have a better life in the few years after the little emperor came to power. According to Chen Fuzun's own plan, he didn't want to be promoted in the past few years, but only needed to maintain his current position.

A few years... a few years later.

A few years later, the little emperor's ambitions might be ruthlessly shattered by reality. At that time, the main combat faction in the court would not be able to clean up the situation, and the old people of Yang Xiang's faction would still be required to return to the court to work.

But for decades, going back and forth in the court hall has always looked like this, and Chen Yu has gotten used to it.

A few years later, when His Majesty the Emperor wanted to reuse the Zhuhe faction, he would look at the court again, and he would be able to see Chen Yu, Yang Jingzong's precious student, at a glance.

Chen Fuzun is only 35 years old this year.

Even if he waited ten years, he would only be 45 years old, and he could afford it.

As for the change of Chen Fuzun's attitude, Master Lu didn't say much to Shen Yi, or he had nothing to say with Shen Yi, after all, Shen Yi is still too far away from the court.

He pondered for a while, looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Since Chen Yu said so, he shouldn't embarrass you this time, you don't need to care about Chaotang, and you don't need to think about what he said , or concentrate on the government test."

Master Lu said slowly: "If you have passed the exam this year, you will have to go to the Jiankang Examination Institute after the new year. No matter what, you must first get a scholarly title."

Fame is a very important thing.

With fame, it means that you are no longer an ordinary person, and no matter what you do, it will be smoother.

To put it bluntly, one day when Beiqi called, he had a reputation as a scholar, at least he was qualified to be a dog for the northerners, and he would not be slaughtered directly.

Master Lu's words are correct, Shen Yi nodded respectfully, and said: "The teacher's words, the students have written down."

After saying this, Shen Yi turned around to say goodbye and left the study.

The things in the court really have no effect on him now.

But today I met Prefect Chen, and it was not a bad thing that Prefect Chen debunked the nursery rhyme, at least from now on, the nursery rhyme was completely exposed, and it had nothing to do with Shen Qi.

Not only did it have nothing to do with Shen Qi, even Xu Fu and the other six children were completely cleared of their relationship with this matter.

No matter who it is, they will never trouble them again because of this matter.

Because Master Lu took all the responsibility.

Because the government exam was approaching, Shen Yi didn't go out for the next two days, and stayed in the academy to read through the popular "Fengde Anthology" that was sold in Jiangdu City.

Although Chen Fuzun was young, he was also a well-known essayist in his early years, and he wrote quite a few articles. It took Shen Yi two days to read through his anthology.

The so-called thorough reading is not as simple as reading it once, but to be able to understand its meaning and understand its etiquette.

On the third day, that is, on October 29th, the government examination in Jiangdu Prefecture officially started.

With the experience of the county examination, Shen Yi became more calm during the government examination. He prepared the examination basket early, and before dawn, he lined up at the gate of the academy with the teachers of the academy and students of the same subject to get on the bus. .

But this government test is different from the last county test.

This time, Lu Shanchang, who usually doesn't show much, appeared in front of everyone.

This time, there were only seventeen people participating in the government examination, and the number was not very large. These students obediently stood in two rows in front of Master Lu, listening to the instructions of the mountain chief.

Lu Anshi looked serious, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at everyone, his voice was low.

"You are all young talents of the academy. The government examination is approaching. The gentlemen of the academy should have told you everything that should be told to you. Now here, I will only tell you one thing."

Master Lu said slowly: "You are all still young. Whether you pass the scientific examination or not is a matter of life experience, but if someone wants to take shortcuts and cheat in the examination room, it will ruin the century-old reputation of the academy..."

The old man Lu lowered his voice, and said coldly: "At that time, even if the national law spares you, and the government officials spare you, Lu will never forgive you!"

During the last county examination, Lu Anshi did not come to lecture.

Obviously, after the incident of Yan Mingli last time, the dean was so angry that he had to personally come over to tell the students before they left.

Among the seventeen candidates, apart from Shen Yi, the other sixteen people didn't know anything about Yan Mingli, and they were all at a loss at the moment, but when Master Lu was here, they still obediently bowed their hands to the dean.

"Follow the instructions of the head of the mountain."

Master Lu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's go."

Seventeen students and the gentlemen from four colleges boarded five carriages together, and then rushed towards Jiangdu City in a mighty manner.

Because of the previous experience, Shen Yi was much calmer this time. Together with a group of brothers, he came to the entrance of the examination shed of the government office. After performing a security search, he received his own blank test paper and test number.

The test number this time is yellow character NO.11.

After finding his seat according to the test number, Shen Yi put away the test basket, lay down on the table and began to sleep.

It's not that he is careless, it's because he got up too early in the morning, and he's a little sleepy now, and it's estimated that it will take about half an hour to issue the government test questions. Taking advantage of this gap, he can sleep for a while.

After the sun shone into the examination sheds, the government officials began to distribute the test questions one by one.

When the test questions were handed out, Shen Yi had already fallen asleep soundly.

The difference between the prefectural examination and the county examination is that the county examination usually has four or five sessions, while the prefectural examination only has three sessions, which are divided into post scriptures, essays, and policy theory.

That is, test and memorization, rhetoric and political opinions and current affairs.

The first day was all about posting scriptures, excerpting passages from the Four Books and Five Classics or other sage books, and handing them over to the candidates to fill in the blanks, and then transcribe them completely on the test paper, without typos or taboos.

Shen Yi's basic skills are still very solid, so as long as he is serious about posting scriptures on the first day, there is generally no problem.

After I got the test paper, I glanced at it briefly, and after confirming that I knew it, I packed up the test questions, put them aside, and continued to sleep on the table.

The whole day of the exam is not in a hurry to answer the questions, the most important thing is to cultivate enough energy.

While someone Shen was taking the children's exam seriously in the Jiangdu examination shed, Pei Yuanpei, the Minister of Rites of the Great Chen, was waiting patiently at the gate of Jiankang East City.

Pei Shilang waited from early morning until almost noon, and finally a convoy slowly arrived at the gate of the East City Gate.

On a carriage of the convoy, a flag was raised high, with a big "Qi" written on it.

It is the mission of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Pei Shilang wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought the officials from the Ministry of Rites forward, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "But the envoy of Northern Qi?"

In the Qi people's motorcade, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a civil servant glanced at Pei Shilang, then raised his head slightly, and did not get out of the car to talk to Pei Shilang.

"Into the city."

The Qi people's carriage didn't stop, and they went straight into Jiankang City.

Waiting for a long time, Pei Shilang was so angry that he looked at the back of the Qi people's mission, gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice.

"It's really barbaric!"

　There is one more before twelve o'clock
