My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 163 Xu Qin's Hit
Ever since Xu Qin left the field, Xu Huizu has been restless, unable to eat, unable to sleep... the whole person seems to have lost his soul.

Even if you pass Enke, you are just a Jinshi.

At most, he is a seventh-rank official, and he is completely incomparable with the super-rank Duke.

Why is Xu Huizu so thoughtful, it's as if he has never seen the world!
Needless to say, this is the proper reaction.

Although the Duke of the State is honorable, it is the grace of his ancestors, and he did not earn it by his own ability.

Just like Wei Guogong, what is Xu Da's status?What is Xu Huizu's status?
What will happen when Xu Qin takes over?

Don't think that if you have a title, people will respect you.

That's just one aspect, the key depends on your ability.

For example, there are quite a few princes at the moment, but Xu Jingchang is the only one who can make everyone shake their heads.

There is no way, people are so strong.

In the post of Tongzheng envoy, he tidied up all the officials, became the governor of the Jinyiwei, and attacked the entire Confucianism.

Fighting against heaven and earth, he never suffered a disadvantage.

What would happen to such a character even without Duke Ding beside him?
Who dares to underestimate?
After all, titles are just icing on the cake.If you can only live by your title, it means that you have limited prospects.

Coincidentally with Enke, if his son can get a good reputation in the Eight Classics, make some achievements in the court, and then inherit the title later, that will be the real name and justice. Everyone should be in awe of the Xu family.

Their long house can also save some face.

Is it just that Enke can be so easy?

What if the son fails the exam?

Maybe if you can't pass the exam, you can't pass the exam. It's up to people to make things happen.

Xu Huizu pondered for a long time. The nine-day Enke exam finally came to an end... Candidates dispersed one after another and returned to their residences, waiting for the results to be announced.

Xu Qin also came back from the examination room. He washed in a hurry. Although there was clear water in the Gongyuan, he couldn't take a bath.Fortunately, I didn't take the exam in the summer, otherwise people would be smelly.

But even so, it was uncomfortable.

When Xu Qin came back, he immediately took a shower and changed into clean clothes.

At this moment, the kitchen also brought hot meals, which obviously couldn't be eaten well in the Gongyuan.While stuffing it into his mouth, he was holding a booklet and was reading it carefully, nodding from time to time, as if he had realized something.

Xu Huizu stood at the door, looking at his son just like that.

In the past, when reading and eating at the same time, he would only scold him sharply, but today, Xu Huizu felt inexplicably sad.

It turns out that the imperial examination is not easy!

After waiting for quite a while, Xu Qin put down his chopsticks, and when he looked up, he saw the old man at the door. He stood up in a hurry, put down the book quickly, and stood with his head bowed.

Xu Huizu came in, he put his hand on Xu Qin's shoulder, asked him to sit down, and pulled a chair over himself.

"How about it, are you sure?"

Xu Qin frowned slightly, "I can't tell. After all, I haven't taken the imperial examination before. It's just that I really think I can answer all the questions in this exam. Even if I'm wrong, I think I can get it... It's just that When it comes to the palace examination, you have to test the policy theory. Not only do you need to have a lofty intention, but you also need to use beautiful diction and correct allusions. It is a test of your skills, but this is the weakness of the child... If I knew this, the child should listen to his father. , study hard.”

Xu Huizu looked at his slightly annoyed son, and didn't know what to say for a while?

You kid is actually thinking about the imperial examination?

You are sure!
Xu Huizu simply didn't know what to say.

"Enke this time, is it difficult?" Xu Huizu asked tentatively.

Xu Qin said: "It's not difficult to say, but the scope of the assessment is very wide, not the simple stereotypes in the past... This point has been clearly stated in the pamphlet of His Royal Highness. It also gave a bibliography. From astronomy and geography to mathematics I have passed all the laws. Fortunately, my cousin urged me, otherwise the child really doesn't know how to deal with it."

Xu Huizu pondered for a while, reached out and touched Xu Qin's head, "Don't think too much after the exam, it's best to pass... As long as you have the heart to study and make progress, even if you don't have Enke in the future, it's not a bad idea to take ordinary imperial examinations." No chance, don't push yourself too hard."

Xu Qin nodded, sent his father away, turned his head, quickly picked up the book, and started to read quickly.

Can't bear to waste a little time.

In the Gongyuan, he even saw a white-haired old man who was enough to be his grandfather and came to take the imperial examination.

At such an old age, someone searched his body from the inside out, and then entered the simple tribute house, enduring the cold wind.

He, a young man, couldn't bear it.

Not to mention the elderly!

But even so, they kept saying, thank God.

The imperial examinations really consumed too many people's youth, and exhausted the efforts of countless people... They are all desperately trying to get out of the thousands of troops, just for that little chance.

Why can't nobles beat civil servants?

Walking around the Gongyuan, you will understand everything.

At most, the honorable family just needs to compete with each other, and there is no need to compete at all. The eldest son inherits, just wait for the title of title.

It's at your fingertips and effortless.

But civil servants are not good, they have to start from the county examination, pass all the way, and go through countless trials before they can be lucky enough to win the Jinshi.

And after becoming a Jinshi, he just started as a seventh-rank official, far less honorable.

It's just that if you want to secure a high position, you must have enough tribulations, experience enough experience, be hammered and hammered, and be tempered into steel before you can be qualified for this position.

For most of the second and third generations of nobles, the tribulations they endured were nothing at all.It's only natural to fight.

There is no suffering in this world for nothing!

Holding the scroll in his hands, Xu Qin studied hard... If Xu Jingchang used a stick to force him before, but now he is studying hard from the bottom of his heart.

Time passed day by day like this, and finally came the day when Enke's results were announced.

Early on, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong actually came.

"Your Xu Qin is gone? Are you sure?"

Xu Huizu said sullenly, "Maybe, the child worked very hard."

Li Jinglong said: "Okay, I will wait here."

Without further ado, Li Jinglong sat down.

Not long after he arrived, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng also came, this one was more direct, "Wei Guogong, your kid has to live up to you! Give us honor!"

Xu Huizu could only nod reluctantly.

Then Duke Qi Qiu Fu, Zheng Heng, Huo Zhen...all came over.

In the end, a young man in his 20s also came.

His name was Zhang Fu, and his father was Zhang Yu who died in battle, and that was Zhu Di's most important general.

Zhang Fu said hello to all the seniors first, and then said: "I'll come and have a look, if it works, I plan to let the two brothers go to the Imperial College to study, and they will also get a name in the exam. After all, there is no way for everyone to be a famous general. "

Zhang Fuyi said that everyone quite agrees.

Zhu Neng even said loudly: "You're very good. That bastard in my family can't read or practice martial arts. It just makes me angry. Now he's still a tax official with thousands of households. I'm so worried."

When the big guys heard this, they turned their heads together, too lazy to look at him.

You're just showing off, why don't we change it, take a commander, change it with your precious son, and ask you if you want to change it?

Of course, everyone knows that Zhu Yong was lucky enough to climb up Xu Jingchang's line and be responsible for collecting taxes. In terms of authority, he is second only to Wang Zhong.It can be regarded as the best among young nobles.

The others are simply not comparable.

Qiu Fu snorted and said: "There are a few youngsters in my family, two of them are from Qianhu who also have the shadow of kindness, and the rest are also white men. It is really embarrassing."

This is the normal state of noble families, except for a few who inherit the title, the remaining descendants have no good way out, they can only eat and wait to die.

If the road of imperial examination can really go through, it is not a good way.

Xu Qin is a good example... The big guys kept chatting, time passed, but no news came.

what happened?

Wouldn't it be a failure?
Xu Huizu couldn't sit still anymore, so he called the servant and asked him to go out and inquire.

After waiting for a while, the servant came back.

His expression was not very good either, "Duke, the Ministry of Rites has announced the list, and some people have already started celebrating. If you don't believe me, please listen, there are firecrackers on the street again."

what?
Already published?
Without Xu Qin, did the child really fail the ranking?

It seems that warriors want to follow the path of imperial examinations, but they still can't.

Xu Huizu's heart turned cold for a moment, but fortunately he was still rational.

"Has everything been announced?"

"Not yet, they are counted from the back to the front."

Xu Huizu was overjoyed, but then he hesitated again. Can his son really pass the exam?
I'm afraid it won't work!
Just like that, time passed quickly, and another half an hour passed...Even Xu Huizu had nothing to look forward to.

He smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the people present, and let the big guy come here for nothing.

At this moment, suddenly there was a lot of people at the door, and it was very lively.

Then someone ran in.

The man gasped for breath, his face flushed.

Seeing Xu Huizu, he threw himself to the ground in a hurry, "I've been hit!"

"what!"

Xu Huizu was shocked, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"Master Shaoguo has won!"

Xu Huizu was overjoyed.

Then the family added something, directly sending Xu Huizu to the peak of excitement.

"Grandpa, Young Master High School Enke No.1!"

"No. 1!"

Qiu Fu stood up in shock, and blurted out: "Hey, this is the number one scholar!"

Zhu Neng next to him couldn't help but said: "The imperial examination is the champion. This is Huiyuan, but Enke doesn't know if it counts..."

Qiu Fu snorted, "Don't talk to me about words, I just know, isn't our eldest nephew very good this time?"

Li Jinglong laughed loudly and said: "It's not only amazing! I really didn't expect that one of our honorable children will also have someone who can read. It's really an honor!"

Zheng Heng and the others admired, "That's right, Duke Wei, for such a big happy event, it's not too much to eat you, right?"

Only then did Xu Huizu recover from the shock, "Not too much, not at all! Quick, prepare the banquet!"

All of a sudden, Xu's mansion slaughtered pigs and sheep, and it was very lively.

All nobles are encouraged.

While the big guys were talking, someone suddenly ran in.

"Duke, the empress is here!"

What, Empress Xu is here!
Xu Huizu was overjoyed and hurried out to greet...
