Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 244
When Cui Shan walked out of the examination hall, his face was relaxed and freehand.

Although he is a young man who strives to maintain a modesty in dealing with others, his inner pride is inadvertently revealed.

He has secured the qualification for the Beijing Examination, and no one can take it away.

Back at the temporary residence, even though it took three days for the state test results to be announced, Cui Lan had already studied the Beijing test questions in advance to prepare for it.

The questions for next year's policy questions are easy to guess, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to answer well and resonate with the chief examiner Gao Cheng, so as to stand out from the crowd of candidates.

After all, when answering questions in a hurry, the competition we face is not the same as that of careful carving.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and most of the fellow villagers who stayed in the hostel for the exam went outside the Governor's Mansion and waited anxiously for the announcement of the results, but Cui Lan was calm and confident.

Soon some villagers came back to report. Although the result was slightly different from the expectation, and he failed to win the first prize in the classics department, the No. 3 result was enough for Cui Shan to qualify for the Beijing examination next year.

After Cui Shan thanked the villagers who reported the good news, he frowned in the room alone and said nothing, but when he was summoned by Dingzhou governor She Digan, he bumped into the classic Keqianer when he went to the governor's mansion to meet him, and he was relieved.

Among the two, the one who ranked first was a Haoshou old Confucian who was well-known in Dingzhou. Because of his knowledge, he became friends with Cui Shan's teacher Xun Ji.

No.2 is a middle-aged man with a long beard and a beard, who is also a great scholar in Dingzhou.

Cui Shan may be more talented than the two of them, but the interpretation and insights of the Four Books and Five Classics in the classics of the state examination. Although he is distracted by mundane affairs, even if he is talented and intelligent, and has been carefully cultivated by famous teachers, how can he be as good as the two who used to concentrate on studying? .

But the point is not here, but after the results were announced, She Diqian simply summoned the top three of the classics because of his curiosity about Cui Shan. This undoubtedly coincides with the historical tradition of visiting teachers.

Maybe She Diqian doesn't have too much selfishness, but loves talents too much, but this is how things are in the world. Whether it's the examiners who love talents and cherish them, or the candidates who try to cling to them, the tradition of visiting teachers can be passed on for its own reasons.

Gao Cheng had expected it beforehand, but he hadn't thought of banning it for the time being, because he himself, the biggest and most important examiner to the candidates, was still waiting for all the candidates to pay homage to his teacher.

Whether it is visiting a teacher or being recorded in the same year, it is an important way for civil officials to form a party. In the history of more than 1000 years, they have always relied on imperial examinations to weave their own network of relationships.

It is an inevitable choice of human nature for newcomers in the officialdom to keep warm and seek support. Even if Gao Cheng expressly forbids it, when the power of civil servants develops to a certain level, if future generations want to save him some face, they will find another name and another way. .

If you don't give face, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment, such as the "Ming Dagao" that was abolished after his death, and the monument erected for the ancestral precept that internal officials should not interfere in politics.

After recruiting the first three students of the classics department, after some talk, She Di Qian stayed three people in the mansion for dinner.

The three of Cui Shan were all from noble families. For them, the meals that She Digan, who has always been frugal, used to entertain guests were not rich. Simple tea and light meals.

After the meal, Shedi Gan left Cui Shan alone, and introduced his young third son, Shedi Anding, and fourth son, Shedi Luo.

Perhaps changing to a civil governor would not neglect the top two.

Among the top three in the Dingzhou classics department, She Diqian paid the most attention to Cui Shan, not just his age. He believed that whether he could be a good official had little to do with the study of Confucian classics.

Compared with knowledge, he values ​​the ability to deal with mundane affairs more.

After all, he himself is the best example. Not to mention reciting classics, a person who can't even recognize a few words has made achievements in Dingzhou.

The reason why there were only two youngest sons to see guests was precisely because the eldest son Shedi Fujing and the second son Shedi Xian'an had been sent to Luoyang by Gao Huan to have a relationship with Gao Cheng.

The eldest son, Shedi Fujing, was appointed as an official of Zhige, and the second son, Shedi Xian'an, was appointed as a regular servant of Sanqi.

She Diqian is also full of confidence in Cui Shan's ability to gain a foothold in Luoyang. He and Cui Shan expressly hope that the other party can be friends with his two sons in Luoyang.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. This is why the old father was worried about She Di Fujing and She Di Xian'an in Luoyang.

After sending Cui Shan away, She Digan immediately ordered his cronies to write letters to his eldest son and second son on his behalf. The method is to ease the relationship between Cui Qian and Cui Xian, and sell it as a favor.

Cui Shan was only fifteen years old, but he was invited by Gao Aocao to join the shogunate. Among them was Gao Cheng's confidant Cui Xian.

Cui Xian and Cui Shan are both from Dingzhou, one is from Boling Cui, the other is from Qinghe Cui, there is a huge difference in age, apart from the same outstanding talents, they have little relationship at first.

But Cui Yan's father, Cui Yan (yǎn), had a deep old grudge with Cui Siam.

Cui Yu was born in the eldest family of the Cui family in Qinghe, and he can be regarded as Yuan Cong, the capital of Xindu, but his identity as Yuan Cong is a bit ridiculous.

At that time, when the Hebei scholars and people revolted, Cui Yan was robbed from his hometown by Gao Ao Cao with three hundred Qingqi, and he was treated as a teacher and friend, so he participated in the construction of Xindu in a daze.

It is also for this reason that Gao Aocao knew Cui Shanduo who was kidnapped to Xindu together at that time, so when he was 15 years old, he immediately sent an invitation to let him be the master and entrust all the government affairs to him.

Cui Li was eager to join Gao Aocao's shogunate, not because he was worried about the revenge of Cui Siam, who was reused by Gao Cheng, but because he thought that Cui Siam was in the way, and it would be difficult for him to join the Gaocheng shogunate, so he was invited by Gao Aocao to join him Go to Guangzhou together.

After all, Qinghe Cui's family is there. Historically, Lou Zhaojun was his youngest son. In this life, he Liuhun's physical condition does not know whether the No. 12 son, Gao Ji, and Cui Shan will be born. His aunt and sister of Cui Yuan talked about their relationship, and they also specifically confessed to Gao Ji:

'Behave well, don't provoke the Cui family to ridicule. '

Gao Cheng, who is familiar with history books, naturally knew this kind of thing. What he was curious about was that Cui Shan's grandfather Cui Xiu died in 523 AD, two years after Gao Cheng was born, at the age of 63.

No matter how much the Cui family daughter estimated her age, she was almost the same age as King Xiao Gao. Based on this curiosity, Gao Cheng specially ordered someone to investigate after learning about the relationship between Cui Lian, Cui Yan, and Cui Xiu. Hugh did have a daughter of his own age, to be married.

The old twelve Gao Ji in the original time and space, the history books did not record the detailed birth date, but the eleventh Gao Shi was born in 538. No matter how you count, the daughter of the Cui family is at least older than Gao Ji.

A third-year female college student holding gold bricks. The thought of Gao Ji holding six gold bricks made her good brother Gao Cheng worry.

Of course, regarding Cui Shan, Gao Cheng is more interested in the affairs of his concubine Feng Shi, gossip is human nature.

The Feng family is dissolute by nature and often has personal affairs with others, including Gao Cheng's boss, Xing Shao.

　There were two Guangzhous in the Northern Wei Dynasty, one was split from Shanxi Sizhou in the early stage and was abolished later, and the other was established in the Nanyang Basin between Luoyang and Sanjing in order to protect Gyeonggi after Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital. county.

　　After writing most of the last chapter, the computer crashed, and my mentality exploded on the spot. After rewriting, I fell asleep for more than three hours. However, Haikou did not do what I boasted. I only changed 8000, which was 4000 short, and I owe everyone another one. Red envelopes, when the five red envelopes are filled, post them in the group. After all, although we update our hips, we can’t help but always boast. It’s not difficult to fill up five red envelopes. By the 12th of next month, no matter whether they are filled or not, we will Posted in the book friend group, the brothers who didn't grab it yesterday will arrive earlier.

　　Continue to sleep for a while, wake up and write again.
