Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 42 The blue sky and white sun, the other head test under the bright universe... (ask for a monthly ticket)
The leading official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and nodded slightly at the three candidates, and asked his colleagues on the left and right.

"Next, there are only three candidates left, and we have three examiners."

"Since that's the case, how about one of us being in charge of one candidate?"

As soon as the officials from the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, one of them stood up impatiently.

"Li Langzhong's words are very kind, and the subordinate officials also think that it should be so. Come, come, Cai Liulang, come with me..."

"???" Li Langzhong and another official stared at this brazen colleague with black lines on their faces.

But in the end, considering his face, he didn't fight hand-to-hand in front of these three candidates to win a candidate.

"Young Master Tong, I see that you are imposing and confident.

You must be very sure about "Thousand Characters", come with me, don't be nervous, I will give you a head start..."

Seeing that the traitor and the children of the eunuch were all taken away by his colleagues, the remaining Li Langzhong showed a somewhat reluctant smile at Gao Zhang.

"Master Gao, come to me, um, you already know how to recite the "Thousand-Character Essay"?"

Li Langzhong, who signaled Gao Zhang to come closer, picked up a piece of rice paper with "Thousand Characters" written on it, and placed it on the table facing Gao Zhang.

Gao Zhang looked at the "Thousand Characters" which was not more than three feet away from his eyes in a straight line.

Confused, he raised his head and looked at Li Langzhong, who had already sat back on the chair in front of him, as if he was exhausted, and squinted his eyes, who was dozing off.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry up and recite it. Although I have closed my eyes, my ears are listening."

"..." Gao Zhang raised his head and looked at the blue sky and the bright sun.

All of a sudden, there was a sliver of uncertainty about being able to pass the Jinshi examination.

#####
Gao Zhang passed the other test very smoothly. In fact, he didn't need to read the entire "Thousand Characters" on the table to pass.

But it is a pity that in this dark Song Dynasty officialdom and the examination room of the Gongyuan.

My own talent and knowledge were completely unrevealed in this frustrating test site.

But after thinking about it, the chief culprit that caused this situation must be the big responsibility of the Hunjun of the Great Song Dynasty.

Perhaps it is precisely because the upper and lower beams work, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and when it is crooked, it will go out of the sky.

However, considering the late Northern Song Dynasty, people's livelihood, military and state affairs are almost not the main considerations of the court officials.

Rather, a series of internal conflicts such as party struggles and involutions have become mainstream affairs in official circles in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

So much so that in the not-too-distant future, the Great Song Dynasty was unexpectedly captured by the Golden Tartars.

And Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who believed in immortals, even made a farce of letting the old liar go to the city, trying to use "immortal techniques" to resist the enemy's soldiers...

While thinking wildly in my mind, I looked at the "Thousand Characters" and read it heartily.

With a bang, the "Thousand-Character Essay" on the table disappeared in an instant, and Gao Zhang's floating ticket was signed and marked by Langzhong Li, and then he handed it to Gao Zhang with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you have passed the test, congratulations, young man, your future is limitless."

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Mr. Li." Gao Zhang politely saluted the examiner before accepting the floating ticket.

Almost at the same time, Gao Zhang saw Tong Zhisheng with a bewildered face, and Cai Laoliu with a dull face, both of which appeared in sight with their respective floating tickets.

And the two examiners smiled and comforted the two young people who had also successfully passed the other test.

Cai Laoliu looked at the floating ticket in his hand, thinking about the hardships of these days, his eyes turned red.

"If I had known it would be so easy not to try, I, wouldn't my hard work be in vain..."

Tong Zhisheng on the side nodded his head with deep emotion, as if he also had some unspeakable addiction.

It never occurred to him that he, who was so broken and broken, would actually be able to pass this other test.

Seeing these two people has mixed emotions, but fortunately, they have already passed the test.

Gao Zhang, who really needed to recruit people to form a Jinshi gang, felt that he should do something.

"Brother Datong, Junior Brother, since we are all in the same group of exams, we also passed the other exam unanimously."

"Next, are you two willing to apply for the Jinshi Provincial Examination with me?"

As soon as Gao Zhang said this, Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu, who were still full of emotions, changed their expressions drastically.

With an unbelievable expression on his face, he looked at Gao Zhang who was younger than them and far inferior to them in height and weight.

Seeing that this kid is pleasing to the eye, Tong Zhisheng couldn't help persuading him.

"You really want to be admitted to Jinshi? I said brother Xiaogao, don't you talk nonsense?"

"The official told Tong just now that it's okay to try it out, and don't think about it next time."

It seems that although this Tong Zhisheng is stupid, he is not stupid.

Cai Laoliu snorted with some disgust, like my own father, who was also an official after the imperial examination.

You are the son of a football player, but you still want to be admitted to Jinshi, why don't you go to heaven?
"That's right, senior brother, you should give up your mind, it's simply impossible."

Looking at these two, Gao Zhang felt that his level was again, and he must be better than these two, so it was necessary to pull these two backs.

"You think so, and everyone around you must think so, am I right?"

Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu pondered for a while, then nodded at the same time, there is nothing wrong with these words.

"And among us, the children of officials and eunuchs, there are no more than ten fingers who study seriously and honestly?"

The two continued to nod.

"So, they must have the same thinking as you, and they can pass this test because the threshold has been lowered by the government."

"Just like what the examiners said, the officials must not lower the threshold for the Jinshi imperial examination.

After all, countless gentlemen in the world who study poetry and books are staring at this road to heaven. "

The two continued to nod, and there was nothing wrong with their words.

"So, those who have a little bit of ability, know that they will definitely fail the exams that have been studied hard for more than ten or twenty years.

They may choose some regular subjects that are easier to pass, and they may become officials because of this.

As for those incompetent who can get away with passing the other test, I am afraid that there will be no more content. "

"Of course." Tong Zhisheng nodded for granted, after all, he thought so too.

Cai Laoliu who was beside him was also deeply convinced and agreed with it.

Seeing the performance of these two people, Gao Zhang laughed.

"Have you ever thought about it, the three of us have passed the other examinations, but the imperial examination and the provincial examination are difficult to imagine.

That being the case, why don't we go against the current and make a fortune. "

"Compared to those sons of eunuchs who failed in other regular examinations, the three of us went to participate in the Jinshi examination. Although we failed, but..."

Several officials who were patrolling in the tribute courtyard saw three sons of officials of different heights, fat and thin, chattering over there.

Especially the handsome little man with red lips and white teeth, who was making gestures and gestures there.

The scene where Tong Zhisheng, who was as strong as a cow, and the obese Cai Laoliu, squinted their eyes and nodded repeatedly.
