The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

"Ah Fu, did you see the letter that came with the gift two days ago?" At this moment, Guo Nuan was walking back and forth in the room with his back bowed, his head lowered, as if he was searching for something in a corner, looking abnormal impatient.

"No, didn't Brother Luo hand it to you when you opened the gift box that day?" A Fu also followed Guo Nuan's ass and kept trying to find it.

"I didn't expect that the entrance card for the imperial examination was contained in that envelope. What a shame, what should I do? If I lose it, if my dear wife, Princess Shengping, finds out and I throw it away, she will have to call It won't work without your young master."

Guo Nuan is now so tired that she can hardly straighten her waist, she keeps wailing, and her figure like a Shengping angel can't help but emerge in Naohai. ． ．Devil face.

Thinking about it made him tremble, and he couldn't help but sighed sadly: Shengping can't be provoked.

"Brother Guo, come quickly, there's good news, brother found the admission ticket in the ditch in the yard!" A loud voice roared outside the room, immediately making Guo Nuan overjoyed.

"Uh, why did you come here? I remember that I threw it into the house casually?" Guo Nuan carefully twirled a wet official imperial examination certificate and said doubtfully.

Suddenly, Guo Nuan seemed to think of something, pinched Ah Fu's chubby face, hummed, and was about to wring out water with a gloomy expression:

"Hey, stinky boy, Ah Fu, is it because you are usually lazy, too lazy to go to the garbage dump outside the house to take out the garbage, so you dump the garbage in the house into the ditch in the yard?"

Ah Fu's round face was almost turned into a small meatball by Guo Nuan's hands, and he said aggrievedly. "Oh, pain, young master, why did you wrong Ah Fu? Didn't it be your turn to clean the wing two days ago?"

"Oh, yes, hehe, the young master has a bad memory. It was the young master who dumped the garbage into the ditch that day..." Guo Nuan then reluctantly withdrew his claws from Ah Fu's fleshy face.

"Master, I wronged Ah Fu, let's forget it..." Ah Fu jumped up and down next to Guo Nuan, his eyes bulging with anger.

"Okay, okay, it's the young master's fault. In two days, the young master will come to Chang'an City to bring you delicious Gaochang sesame paste and Tubo kebabs. That's fine."

Guo Nuan felt that he pinched Ah Fu's immature face a little too hard just now, and it turned red, especially Ah Fu still had tears rolling in his eye sockets.

"Okay, Ah Fu wants a big skewer!" Seeing that Guo Nuan's attitude of admitting his mistake was not bad, and with the promise of delicious barbecue, Ah Fu immediately threw his grievances into the clouds.

"Well, it's really tiring to even take out the garbage by myself. I have to find a way. I have to bring back a maid who does the rough work in two days. I have to start the painful imperial exam review again. There are a lot of gentlemen cleaning and sanitation, but no one takes care of it." Guo Nuan muttered.

"The names and subjects on the imperial examination certificate have already been selected by the princess for you, young master. It turns out that she has calculated it early in the morning and is going to ask you to take the imperial examination."

Ah Fu quickly shifted his attention, poked his head, read the textual research, and couldn't help but lament Shengping's foresight in doing things, and his quick action.

"Hey, that's enough, I just happen to be a couple with Pu Shangxuan's brother, and we will go to the imperial examination together." Luo Yuan smiled and agreed.

Guo Nuan put the test admission certificate on the stove and spent an hour drying it.Fortunately, the quality of the paper for the research is very good, and the words on it are transcribed with high-quality Taishan ink. After drying, the paper is slightly flattened, and it is almost like a new one.

"Hey, that's it." Guo Nuan carefully stored the textual research in the wooden cabinet, worked hard for a long time, and finally got it done.

In the afternoon, Guo Nuan went to the study to look for Pu Shangxuan. At this time, Pu Shangxuan was still working very hard. When he learned that Guo Nuan also participated in the imperial examination, Pu Shangxuan seemed very happy.

However, Guo Nuan didn't know anything about the imperial examinations. There was still a month left, and he didn't know whether he could hold his feet and jump into the dragon's gate. To be honest, he was very uncertain.

Everyone said that Guo Nuan would do it, Ah Fu was very sure, Luo Yuan was very calm, seeing their expressions of confidence, Guo Nuan's heart turned cold, no one understood him at all.

The top three Jinshi, Guo Nuan's heart is bleeding, how can he pass so easily, if he can hit the wall and pass, he would rather pass out.

"Uh, Brother Pu, how many people did the top three Jinshi recruits?" Apparently Guo Nuan subconsciously equated the ancient imperial examinations with the modern national civil service examinations.

When Guo Nuan flipped through the records of the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, it drove him crazy.During the 33-year reign of Li Shimin's son Tang Gaozong, a total of [-] Jinshi were recruited.

"That is to say, on average, only 30 to [-] Jinshi are recruited a year. This is one in a million selected from the imperial examination scholars selected from academies all over the country." Guo Nuan counted, with a dejected look , This blow was really too big for him.

As the saying goes, thirty old Mingjing, fifty young Scholars.It means that if you pass the imperial examination of Ming Jing Ke at the age of 30, you are really too old.

Mingjing relies on rote memorization of Confucian classics, and scholars with a little normal IQ can pass it when they are around 20 years old.At the age of 16, Guo Nuan took and passed the examination of Ming Jing with the qualification of Gongsheng, so there is no need to worry about this subject.

As for the Jinshi department, "fifty young Jinshi" means that if you can be admitted to the Jinshi department at the age of 50, you are considered relatively young.

The vast majority of people who have been admitted to the Jinshi department have not passed the exam all their lives. There are also a few who have persevered until they were 80 or [-] years old because of the appearance of their ancestors, and they persevered until they were [-] or [-] years old, and finally passed the exam.In one sentence, we can know how difficult the imperial examination is.

"Grandma, the Jinshi exam is much more difficult than the Huaqing exam for future generations. Your husband is only 21 years old now. Mrs. Shengping, don't you expect too much from me?"

With a long sigh towards the window, Guo Nuan even wanted to commit suicide for the ninth time.

"Brother Guo, Brother Pu went to the color building in the city to see your masterpiece the day before yesterday. It is really great. It is full of poetry and calligraphy. It is absolutely rare among the elder scholars. I believe you will be the top three in high school. You will definitely be." .”

Park Shangxuan kindly comforted Guo Nuan, and patted him heavily on the shoulder as encouragement.

"Brother Pu, did you take the imperial examination to pass the exam and stay in the Tang Dynasty as an official? Are you not going back to Silla?"

Guo Nuan seemed to have thought of a problem, and temporarily put this annoying problem behind her.

Pu Shangxuan smiled helplessly, pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Brother Guo, I can't go back to Silla now, maybe I won't be able to go back for the rest of my life. , I’m just afraid that revealing some secret inside information will involve irrelevant innocent people. I hope Brother Guo can understand.”

Seeing the homesickness flashing in Pu Shangxuan's eyes, Guo Nuan somewhat understood his feelings.After all, everyone has their own secrets that they can't tell, and they don't tell close people, it's just out of goodwill.

As for Guo Nuan, he also has his own unspeakable secrets. For example, he came from modern times. This is a secret that will be kept in his heart. Even if it is told to outsiders, they will not believe it. How can reality help?
