My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 27 27. Lawlessness, Juren Examination
This day is the time for the Juren Examination.

No candidate dares to waste time.

Zhao Xuanqi naturally did the same. He got up very early, washed and dressed up, stuffed the prepared food, pens, inks, paper and inkstones into the package, and then walked towards the north of the county city.

The test center faces south, right in front of the Yamen in the north of the county. Since the inn near the Yamen is very expensive, he can't afford it.

The house he lives in now is some distance from the test center, so he needs to get up early.

On the street, it was even more lively.

Many vendors sell enthusiastically.

There is no doubt that the county town is prosperous.

Many people from the yamen walked on the street to maintain order, and it was a peaceful scene.

In fact, the period of scientific research is the most stable period for a city. All the gangsters and gangsters dare not come out to do evil.

No one is a fool, who dares to rebel?

Zhao Xuanqi thought like this.

Accident happened.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The crowd in front suddenly became restless and leaned to the side of the road with frightened expressions.

Zhao Xuanqi reacted quickly. Although he didn't know what the situation was, it was definitely not a good thing. He followed the flow of people and stood on the edge of the street.

Looking up, he saw several majestic horses running on the street at a fast speed. There were also several heroic knights on them, wearing light armor and carrying sabers on their waists.

The leader is a middle-aged man of about 30 years old. He has a beard and a short shirt. He looks calm and confident. His mount is a white horse, which is very majestic.

"It is forbidden to ride horses in the city. Violators will be severely punished. This person actually dares to lead the knights on a rampage, and this is still during the imperial examination period..."

Zhao Xuanqi was extremely surprised.

The horses run very fast, just like a Mercedes-Benz car. If passers-by fail to avoid them in time, they will definitely end up in a tragic situation.

In fact, when the people in front saw the horse charging, they quickly avoided it, so nothing happened.

But the people behind who didn't know the situation, coupled with the slow reaction speed and the crowd, had no time to react.

I saw a little boy of seven or eight years old standing dumbfounded in the middle of the street. He was frightened by the galloping Pegasus. He collapsed on the ground, his legs and feet were weak and he could not move.

"Get out, get out of here!"

The middle-aged man on the white horse cursed angrily.

However, the horse's speed did not slow down, and it stepped straight towards the boy.

There was no accident, blood spattered everywhere, and with a bang, the boy was knocked away like a broken sack and lay motionless on the ground.

There was blood flowing everywhere, there was no air coming in and out, and I could see that I was dying.

The boy's mother finally regained her composure, rushed forward, hugged the child's body and cried bitterly: "Ah! My son!"

The tragic screams are moving.

The people around him were filled with indignation and dared not speak out.

"Shut up!"

The white horse was frightened and had to stop.

The middle-aged man turned a blind eye to the mother and son. Instead, he comforted the white horse and stroked the horse with some distress: "Bailong, it's okay. It's just a pariah who was trampled to death."

Then he stood high, looked at the woman fiercely, and cursed: "Untouchable, you don't know how to avoid me when you meet me. You are seeking death. Now you have frightened my white dragon, please pay the money quickly, or I will send you down to meet your son!" "

Hearing this, the woman's hand holding the boy kept shaking. She was temporarily dizzy and rushed forward: "Give my child his life!"

However, before he could get close to the middle-aged man, he was hacked to death by several knights nearby, bleeding profusely.

The yamen servant didn't dare to stop him. He remained as motionless as a piece of wood. He even turned his eyes away, acquiescing to all this happening.

The middle-aged man turned to look at the few people and shouted: "You government servants, don't pretend to be blind and throw these two untouchables outside the city and bury them. Don't be an eyesore here and disturb the king's hunting interest. That's asking for death!" "

With that said, the man rode a white horse and led a group of knights towards the outside of the city.

It turned out to be for hunting out of the city... Several government officials looked at each other, then stepped forward to carry away the two corpses, and then rinsed the ground with water until the blood was completely washed away, and the bright red color on the ground was no longer visible. .

The crowd on the edge was also indifferent.

No one dared to say anything at all.

Zhao Xuanqi stood on the side. If it weren't for the harsh smell of blood in his nose, he couldn't believe that the two living beings in front of him had disappeared like this.

Lord of the vassal!

If he guessed correctly, the middle-aged man riding the white horse just now was a vassal king.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, the king system was adopted, in which clan members were assigned to various regions and became kings to guard the world for the emperor.

The vassal king had great power. He had the right to command troops, and he could also create currency independently and change the appointment of his officials. It was like a small country.

When Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty founded the country, he believed that instead of letting generals guard the four directions, which would easily lead to rebellion, it was better to enfeoff kings. The kings were all of their own blood and guard the four directions for the emperor. Even if there was a rebellion, the person who became the emperor would be of his own blood. Very reasonable.

The system of vassal kings has been passed down for more than 200 years, and it has become too big to lose. Many vassal kings listen to orders but do not listen to propaganda. They are lawless in their fiefdoms and no official can punish them.

The vassal king seriously endangered the central government and acted recklessly in the territory. He killed people without being punished and there were countless complaints from the people.

During this period, many generations of emperors tried to cut down the feudal vassals, but they all ended in vain.

Even the emperor dared not touch the vassal king, let alone the local government?

"What are you doing here? Just do what you have to do and don't hang around here!" The officer began to disperse the crowd.

Zhao Xuanqi left silently.

But there was a moment of numbness in my heart.

The vassal king of Ziyun City dared to go out on the street and ride a horse on the day of the scientific examination. He even killed people without repaying his life. He was arrogant and lawless.

But the expressions that others were accustomed to, and the yamen servants also cooperated skillfully in washing the ground and burying people...

A glimpse of the leopard shows that the more powerful vassal kings in other regions may not be much better, or even more cruel!

The world has been suffering from feudal lords for a long time.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bring down these high-ranking feudal kings..." Zhao Xuanqi thought silently in his heart.

As for the reason?

Maybe it’s because a few years ago, I was such a pariah not worth mentioning...

After being trampled to death by a nobleman, the end result was to be carried away by the government officials and then buried somewhere casually.

If the government officials were lazy and dumped their bodies in the wilderness without burying them, the result would be that they would be eaten up by wild dogs and wild beasts.

No one will stand up for him, let alone make decisions for him. He will die without dignity and is not worth mentioning, just like an ant being trampled to death...

What he just saw was not that the feudal lord trampled to death an untouchable boy, but thousands of his former selves.

When you come to this world, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't do something or change something?
Why should I accept this chaotic world instead of changing it and letting it accept its own etiquette?
If he had the ability, he wouldn't mind unseating the feudal king.

If you don't have the ability, that's a different matter.

Recalling the bloody scene just now, Zhao Xuanqi felt sick in his stomach. Fortunately, he had strong self-control and did not vomit.

Now, he is just a white-bodied scholar, and of course he can only take the exam.

In this cruel feudal ancient times, only scientific examinations can change your destiny, so you must get a good score!

He clasped his hands and walked silently towards the examination room.

In front of the Yamen.

An examination room has already been set up with partitions, all of which are divided into small grid rooms.

At the entry point, a group of scholars lined up neatly, waiting for inspection.

Several government officials held water and fire sticks and looked solemn. They searched each candidate very carefully. Each scholar had to take off his clothes and pants for inspection, and everything inside and outside had to be tested.

Even Zhao Xuanqi is no exception.

After some inspections, Zhao Xuanqi entered the examination room. He relied on the examination number to accurately find his examination booth and entered it.
