Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

"By the way, the exam is tomorrow, let's give the reference students a holiday, don't be too tense."

"This kind of fate-determining test is no joke. It's like when the two armies are facing each other with spears and halberds, it's only a thought to collapse or to be brave~!"

Qin Mo said with a smile while boiling water to make tea.

Han Fei had never experienced the horror of the college entrance examination. Hearing such a vivid metaphor, he couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help but feel worried for the students, and sighed: "It should be so, I'll go back and give the students a vacation."

"Don't you drink Wuyi Mountain tea?"

"I'll drink it another day..."

Han Fei hurriedly got up and left the villa with his voice still alive.

Qin Mo smiled, looked down at the small red clay stove and tea set in front of him, then put away the tea set and tea leaves resolutely, went to the stove to take out the casserole and porridge ingredients, brought them back and simmered them slowly on the small stove.

There is no technical content in cooking porridge. When it is thick, it is better not to paste the pot.

It was raining again outside, Qin Mo took a chopstick and stirred the rice porridge intermittently, watching the rain scene in the courtyard let go.

Wang Wang Wang --

Perhaps smelling the aroma of rice porridge, the yellow dog rushed into the living room happily, lay down at Qin Mo's feet and wagged its tail.

Rumbling--

The rhino came in afterward with heavy steps, and flew the yellow dog away, occupying the favorable terrain in front of Qin Mo.

Then imitate the yellow dog and put up its small tail, shaking it like a windmill!
Qin Mo was attracted by this fine rhinoceros, his eyes turned away from the rain scene in the courtyard, fell on its wagging tail, and continued to let go of his thoughts.

The more the rice porridge was boiled, the thicker it became, and the aroma attracted more coveters, first the greedy Lu Xiaomei, then Yu Ji, and finally Pasade's mother and daughter.

As for Lu Zhi and the two sons of Gongsun's family, they have already gotten up and dealt with the affairs of the Hexi Kingdom in the side hall!

When there are too many people, Qin Mo's ethereal state will be automatically lifted.

Seeing a group of women waiting to drink porridge, he went to the kitchen to get black cane sugar, and put it in a casserole of rice porridge to boil.

With a slight tilt, the black sucrose completely melted, and the mellow and sweet taste gradually permeated, causing the four girls to twitch their index fingers.

Especially Queen Pasode and her little girl Annie Wei, the mother and daughter were honored by Lu Zhi yesterday, and had a meal of sweet food made by Qin Mo himself, so they could not hang on the dinner table. The culinary skills are astonishing.

At this moment, seeing Qin Mo cooking brown sugar rice porridge again, it was really an uncontrollable secretion of saliva.

"Gudu~!"

Anniewei couldn't help swallowing, her voice was a little loud.

Queen Pasade felt inexplicably ashamed at the side, she couldn't help but glared at the little girl, then slightly raised her chin at Yuji and Lu Xiaomei, probably warning her to keep her manners and don't lose the dignity of Alexander's descendants in front of women from Qin.

At this time, Qin Mo turned off the fire and began to serve porridge out.

When Queen Pasade saw her, she immediately lost her mind to discipline her little girl, and couldn't wait to reach out to pick up the first bowl of porridge.

As soon as the monkey appeared in a hurry, the haughty and reserved Queen Fan'er disappeared completely!

Annie: "..."

Lolita stared blankly and covered her face, you're not much better than me, are you?
Qin Mo gave Yu Ji and Annie Wei a bowl each, and kept a big bowl for himself and her husband, Sun.

Then, pointing to the remaining half of the pot, he said to the anxious Lu Xiaomei, "Go and send it to your second sister and the two children."

"Hmm."

Lu Xiaomei nodded in agreement, carried the casserole and bowls and spoons on the tray, and slipped away to the side hall.

Yellow dog: "Wow..."

Rhino: "Moo..."

Waited for a long time without taking a bite.

This master is really unreasonable!

In the side hall, Lu Xiaomei quickly served porridge for Lu Zhi and the two children, while she ate with a spoon in the casserole.

"Ah~!"

Lu Xiaomei swallowed the hot and sweet brown sugar porridge, and couldn't help but let out a sound of shame and satisfaction, and praised: "This black cane sugar is really the best taste in the world."

Lu Zhi spoiled and said: "Drink more if you like it. A gentleman once said that when a woman is menstruating, eat brown sugar to nourish Qi and blood."

"Pfft, cough, cough..."

Lu Xiaomei spat out a mouthful of porridge and said in surprise: "How does brother-in-law know about my menstruation? Could it be that he is spying on me again!"

Lu Pheasant: "..."

……

……

At the same time, the nearby Houfu Academy.

Hundreds of students who changed into casual clothes were sent out of the school gate by Han Fei with a loving face.

"Mr. Han Fei, why did he go crazy all of a sudden, and force us to be kicked out of the academy for a day when it's raining?"

"It's better to stay in the academy, I will definitely be nagged when I go home, and I will be even more upset in the big exam tomorrow."

"You can still go home, but my family is in Lantian County. Now the inns in the city are full of candidates from all counties. Can you let me sleep on the street tonight?"

After the students walked a certain distance, they showed bitter faces and sighed.

The bad ideas that some people came up with in their brains are not necessarily what the students need.

I took it for granted, I was suspected of cheating!
"Those who are far away from home will go to my house tonight."

"Right, my house can live too."

"You can't sleep on the street with your baby."

"Go away, I want to do my best and say..."

Sighing quickly turned into cursing. The students all wanted to be each other's fathers, and no one would budge on the issue of who should be their son.

Frolicking, the students quickly left the inner city.

On the streets of the outer city, the drizzle like silk could not dampen the hustle and bustle. Apart from merchants and ordinary people, there were also many candidates and scholars speaking with local accents.

Now it's time for breakfast, the restaurants and guest houses on both sides of the street, and even the roadside stalls under the drizzle, are full of non-local candidates.

The students of the academy walked on the street, looking at all kinds of candidates from other places, they couldn't help feeling... a strong sense of crisis.

After all, those who came to Xianyang to take part in the Central Central Examination were all academic masters from every county in the world, and they were all strong opponents!

If they fail the exam tomorrow, they will have to start from low-level officials in the future. Who can be reconciled?

……

While the students in the academy looked at the candidates from other places, the candidates from other places were also looking at them.

Today, candidates from various counties have gathered in Xianyang for a long time, and everyone is more or less familiar.

Now a group of face-to-face people suddenly appeared, which inevitably aroused people's curiosity!

"This is the examinee there, why did he arrive today?"

"Would you like to say hello together?"

"Don't, don't, don't... don't go, I once studied in Xianyang, and I met a few of them... they are the sons and daughters of the dukes and ministers, they are simply disgusting!"

There are enthusiastic and hearty candidates from other places who want to come forward to chat with the students in the academy, but there are also students who are keen on traveling and have a lot of knowledge, and lower their voices to block the advice.

"People hate dogs? No, I think they are all very well-behaved!"

"It's quite the rules now. I heard that His Majesty ordered all of them to be thrown into the government-run school for discipline the year before last. This is to let the wind out."

"So that's the case, then it's better to have less contact, so as not to damage our reputation..."

The students from other places who were about to come forward to make a show, stopped their thoughts one after another, and passed by the students from the academy.

However, the students in the academy actually heard their mutterings.

Li Zhi, the youngest son of Li Si's family, Wang Li of grandfather Wang Jian's father, Wang Ben, the grandson of old Wang Wan's family, several nephews of Feng family...

They all blushed, both annoyed and embarrassed.

Then he was a little ashamed and looked at the classmates who were implicated by him.

Most of the hundreds of school students in this line are just ordinary good families. They could have met with foreign candidates and took the opportunity to broaden their horizons and knowledge.

But now, being implicated by a few of them, so that they are looked down upon by foreign candidates and regarded as people who hate dogs, it is really hard not to feel guilty!
"We have been classmates for the past two years. Everyone knows how well each of us behaves, so we don't need to pay attention to gossip."

"Of course, who doesn't care to make friends with those country bumpkins, we Guanzhong old Qin people don't take them to play."

"Find a brighter restaurant, let's go drink and eat meat, and starve those bumpkins to death."

"Drink and eat meat early in the morning? Don't you look tired and panic?"

"If you feel tired, you can watch us eat and drink..."

The emotions of young people came and went quickly, and the group didn't want to go home, so luckily they found a restaurant to drink.

After drinking and eating, they played together again.

The outer city of Xianyang is much more lively than it was two years ago. There are many places to enjoy Coca-Cola, for example... There is nothing like this. The students were in the West Market, watching orchids dancing for a whole day.

Finally, seeing that it was getting dark, the students couldn't get enough of their talents, and each of them rewarded one and a half taels of money and went home, which made the group of orchids who were about to die of exhaustion... jumping and cursing and swearing!
……

At night, in the study of Li's mansion, the queen minister, with simple furnishings.

"Father, the school is closed for bath today. This classmate lives in Lantian, so it's inconvenient to come and go, so I came here to borrow a night."

Li Zhi dragged his classmates into the study room, and said to Li Si behind the table.

The classmate hurriedly saluted Li Si as a junior: "Jiang Bing, my junior, has met Li Xiang."

Li Si put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stroked his beard and nodded, "Don't be cautious, let's live in your own home, don't think it's shabby."

Jiang Bing bowed his hands again, and said with great emotion: "Bing Su heard that Prime Minister Li enforced the law with integrity and self-defense, and seeing it today, it turned out to be true. I really admire it in my heart, so how dare I think it's shabby!"

Li Si's hand stroking his beard paused for a moment, and said with a sneer: "You are so young, don't let others flatter you."

"Let's go rest and gather enough energy for tomorrow's big exam."

"Here."

Li Zhi and Jiang Bing bowed their hands together and exited the study.

Li Si watched the two children leave, turned to look at the simple furnishings in the study, and finally landed on the bamboo slips on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, I can't even afford to use paper... Who wouldn't want to live a prosperous life~!"

squeak-

Li Si was feeling sorry for himself when the study door was suddenly pushed open again.

A well-rounded woman walked in with tea, changed the cold tea for Li Si, and asked, "Husband, how about taking this opportunity to test Zhi'er's knowledge?"

Li Si took a sip of hot tea, shook his head and said, "There is no exam."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Why don't you try to teach me? If there are any deficiencies, use your husband's talents to give him advice and benefits!"

Li Si put down the teacup, frowned and said, "Tomorrow's big exam is coming, how much can you learn in one night? Even if you can learn it, how can you have the energy to take the exam tomorrow?"

"Besides, if you urge him like that, it will only make him feel more burdened. I'm afraid that we will be disappointed, and we will worry about gains and losses at the time. I am afraid that [-]% of his knowledge will not be able to exert [-]% of it!"

"Don't bother him, the right way is to let him easily enter the examination room tomorrow..."

The woman was speechless after being trained, so she had to leave the study angrily.

……

……

The next day, early morning.

Li Zhi and Jiang Bing got up early, washed up and ate some breakfast, took Li Si's ride to the court, and returned to the academy adjacent to the palace.

"Father, I'm going back to the school first."

"Junior farewell, Li Xiang."

Li Zhi and Jiang Bing jumped out of the carriage, bid farewell to Li Si, and went to the academy together.

"Zhi'er... Take the test well~!"

After all, Li Si couldn't hold back, and shouted at his youngest son's back.

Li Zhi turned his head, grinned brightly, nodded fiercely, and disappeared into the academy door without stopping.

It took Li Si a while to look away, and he was about to ask his old servant to drive to the palace gate, but saw several more cars coming towards the academy one after another.

Like him, they were all courtiers who dropped by to see off their juniors. The sound of earnest teaching came from the carriage and drifted into the cool air in the morning.

"Poor parents in the world..."

Li Si sighed quietly, knocked on the carriage board, and asked the old servant to drive the carriage.

……

The students who had spent a day and a night in the field came back to the academy one after another, and Han Fei greeted them one by one at the gate of the academy.

After all the students came back one by one, Han Fei asked them to change into the school's uniform black student clothes, and each handed out a skin bag filled with pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Then he led all the teaching masters in the academy, and all the students who did not take the central examination, among them there were many princes and princesses, and opened the middle door to see them off.

"Yesterday, when the two armies faced each other, the spears tried to meet the stabs."

"Today is a fight with no way out. If you can't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you."

"Masters, move forward bravely!"

Han Fei shouted loudly like a bell.

"Here~!!!"

Hundreds of students bowed their hands in unison, put on their leather bags and schoolbags, and left the middle door, heading towards the examination room.

……

Since Yingzheng promulgated the law on the selection of officials and established the county and county examinations, and held a central examination, the Ministry of Rites has already started to build an examination room in the inner city, which can accommodate thousands of people.

Candidates poured in from the square gates of the inner city, and gathered in front of the gate of the examination room, either in groups of three or four, or in groups, waiting for the gate to open.

"Brother Chen Ping has learned a lot, and he will probably get the top spot in today's big test!"

"That's right, I've handed in candidates from all counties, and no one can beat Brother Chen Ping."

"Don't flatter me so much, gentlemen, it's really embarrassing..."

It is gold that always shines, it is the awl that always shines, Chen Ping has only been in Xianyang for a few days, and he has already achieved a great reputation as a talented scholar, and candidates from all counties are proud to befriend him.

Chen Ping was arrogant when he should be proud, and very humble when he should be humble. Facing the compliments from the candidates from various counties, Chen Ping just waved his hands repeatedly to express his shame.

"Well, why have you never seen those brothers in black clothes before in the city? Are they candidates from that county?"

Chen Ping found the students from the academy who came in line, and couldn't help but wonder.

The candidates around followed his gaze, and then someone laughed and said, "They are candidates from government-run schools, and many of them are dudes and grandchildren of dukes and ministers' families. "

"Yesterday was fun. Maybe the government-run school was on vacation, so these dandies went to the West Market to watch orchids dance. It took a whole day to see them. In the end, each of them only gave one piece of reward, and they were so angry Ji chased and scolded them!"

"Pfft hahaha..."

The excellent deeds of the students in the academy made the examinees burst into laughter, and all burst out laughing.

The roar of ridicule made all the students in the academy turn pale.

Yesterday it was considered as a backstory, so I didn't hear it, but now it's openly ridiculing, it's unbearable.

"Laugh with a stick, laugh, if you have the ability, you will see the real chapter in the examination room!"

"I'll crush you to death today, the top [-], don't even think about getting in the top [-]!"

"In the future, I will let you meet Nai Weng and call Shangguan!"

The students in the academy shared the same hatred, staring at the laughing candidates from various counties and cursing.

But such brazen shouting and scolding made the ridicule of the candidates from all counties even louder.

"Haha...hahahaha..."

Chen Ping also couldn't stop laughing, but after laughing for a while, he seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped laughing, frowned suspiciously and looked at those academy students who were staring and scolding.

He has been in Xianyang for a few days, and all the candidates from various counties have made friends, but only the candidates in Guanzhong, not to mention friends, have never met a single one.

And the students in these government-run schools in front of them all speak with a Guanzhong accent.

So... no... Guanzhong candidates are these funny guys, right?
Guanzhong, as the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, is a place where Wenhua gathers, and it is no worse than Qilu, where the literary style is at its peak.

If these funny guys are really Guanzhong candidates, then first of all, they can be sure that they have real talents and real learning.

After all, being able to pass the Guanzhong County Examination and participate in the Central Central Examination, the gold content is absolutely terrifying...

It can't be said, they can really dominate the list!
squeak-

bang-

Chen Ping was about to tell his companions what was on his mind, but the door of the examination room opened, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The chief examiner, Chun Yuyue, strode out the door and said in a loud voice: "Masters, take out the amulets for inspection, line up for verification and inspection, and then enter the examination room."

"Hey~!"

Candidates responded in unison.

Chen Ping stopped thinking about it, and hurriedly took out the test and survey, and joined the queue.

Several long queues formed in no time, and hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Rituals poured out, set up desks in front of the examination room, verified the integrity of each examinee, and compared them with the list of examinees sent by the counties.

After verifying that you are right, you will be searched.

Except for the necessary clothing, all idle items are not allowed to be brought into the examination room.

Including the schoolbags prepared by the academy for the students, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, are not allowed to be brought in.

There is everything in the examination room!

"Melon, why are you still touching the bird's nest?"

Li Zhi's crotch was picked out by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he immediately stared.

The old official from the Ministry of Rites said with a stern face: "Don't make a fuss, this is the first central exam, and the inspection is not too strict. From now on... the clothes will be stripped off, and the buttocks will also be inspected!"

Li Zhi shivered, tightened his grip and walked forward, taking the numbered test card from the official guarding the door of the test room.

Jiang Bing, who was following behind him, stepped forward with a face full of hopelessness, let the old man do his best, and then went to get the numbered test card.

"What's your size?"

Li Zhi was waiting for him in front and asked curiously.

Jiang Bing replied: "150 No. [-]."

Li Zhi smiled: "I am No. 150 No. [-], we are next to each other."

"Don't whisper to each other. Once you enter the examination room, you are only allowed to talk to the examiner. If you dare to whisper to each other, you will be thrown out immediately and you will be disqualified from the exam."

The chief examiner, Chun Yuyue, scolded.

Li Zhi shrank his neck, raised his hands and said, "Uncle is on top, my nephew doesn't know the rules of the examination room!"

Chun Yuyue and Li Si had a very close personal relationship, so he called him "uncle" very well.

"Call me the examiner, and if you dare to seek friendship, you will be thrown out."

Chun Yuyue scolded with a straight face, and then pointed to the examination room regulations posted on the screen wall: "If you don't know the rules, you should read them carefully. If you enter the examination room and commit another crime, there is no reason to say it."

"Here."

Li Zhi and Jiang Bing agreed, and looked carefully at the regulations of the examination room.

Leaning slightly, the two of them grinned and looked away, walked around the screen wall and entered the examination room honestly.

The newly built examination room was designed by the students of the academy.

A house with a length of hundreds of steps is divided into small rooms, each with its own windows and doors, with simple beds and tables, as well as toilets and sinks.

After entering, the door was locked, and the soldiers guarded the outside. If there was any need, the soldiers would do it for them.

Unless you finish the exam, or give up the exam, don't think about it!

Li Zhi and Jiang Bing took the test cards and found two adjacent test rooms. After looking at each other, they resolutely opened the door and entered...

……

……

At the same time, the examination room is adjacent to the Xianyang Palace.

The Chinese and Wu courtiers in the main hall were divided into two shifts, but they were very quiet, as if they were all waiting for something.

"Your Majesty, all the candidates have entered the examination room. The chief examiner, Chun Yuyue, please put down the test papers, Your Majesty!"

An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped into the hall quickly, raised his hands and said loudly.

Ying Zheng spit out a word: "Yes~!"

Hundreds of attendants moved in response to the sound, and immediately lifted fifty large boxes with copper locks, quickly stepped down the steps, and followed the official from the Ministry of Rites out of the hall.

There are test papers in the big box, there are basic test papers and special examination papers, and the key is in Chun Yuyue's body!

After the candidates have finished answering the question papers, they will be copied by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and sent to this hall at any time, and handed over to Ying Zheng and the officials for review and scoring to determine the merits and demerits.

Today's court meeting, nothing to do, just review the test papers!

When will the examination papers of the examinees be finished, and when will the imperial court be dispersed, otherwise no one will be able to leave the palace!
The examinees suffered, and so did the ministers, that's how fucked it is!
"The waiter set up a table for the ministers."

Ying Zheng ordered the waiter, and then said to the ministers: "I'm going to change clothes, you can do as you please, don't be cautious, as long as you don't go out of the palace, you can rest when you need to rest, and eat and drink when you need to eat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy!"

Zhu Wenwu put away the board and bowed his hands to thank him.

Ying Zheng got up, turned around the screen, and disappeared on the steps.

Zhao Gao followed suit step by step.

"Didn't the crown prince ask Qin Qing to relinquish his position in the Martial Arts Academy? Today's central examination is a major event for the imperial court. Why doesn't he go to the imperial court?"

After Ying Zheng left the hall, he immediately asked Zhao Gao.

As soon as Zhao Gao heard Ying Zheng's tone, he knew that he had no idea and wanted Qin Mo to help the situation, so he said, "It must be to avoid suspicion, after all, the school is Prime Minister Qin..."

"Many of the students in the academy are descendants of courtiers. After the names are copied, who knows which ones?"

"Then... the minister will leave the palace now, and Prime Minister Xuan Qin will go to court."

"Go on horseback, go back quickly, don't neglect!"

"Hey~!"

Zhao Gao took the order with his hands in his arms, quickly left the palace, and galloped out of the palace to look for Qin Mo.
