The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 48: 1 Courtyard, 2 Scholars

"My son-in-law, stop tinkering with those vine trellises. Come quickly to the front of the house. A large number of palace guards of honor are standing at the door of the house carrying plaques and hanging flowers. They are beating gongs and drums. It's so lively!"

After the eighth day of the imperial examination, Guo Nuan and Pu Shangxuan's tired eye sockets were blackened. When they stepped out of the examination room of the Ministry of Officials in Miyagi, they staggered and staggered like beggars who had been hungry for three days and three nights.

The test took three days and three nights in a row. More than 1 candidates were crowded into a large hall. There were many small cubicles in the hall. A table, a bench, two brushes, and an inkstone.

Guo Nuan found a wooden toilet with iron hoops in a small corner of the cubicle, and even Chu Gong solved it in it.But the damn thing is that the lid was not closed tightly, and it smoked him for three days.

When the papers were finally finished, Guo Nuan was eager to hand in the papers ahead of time, but a kind-hearted invigilator insisted on not letting him leave early. The examiner said that candidates usually have to do the papers for five hours, but Guo Nuan finished it in two hours. It's too casual, and he kindly asked him to add hundreds of Chinese characters.

In fact, Guo Nuan also wanted to fill in a few more words. Guo Nuan was lucky, and it was the spirit of the law to get the exam questions.Drink, when Guo Nuan opened the policy theory test questions, he was immediately happy.Feelings are arguments, and this is not simple.Isn't there a lot of legal subjects on the law in the elective courses at the university?

It’s like dreaming of zombies, oh, I’m wrong, Guo Nuan changed his words in his heart, it’s Montequius, a modern French legal enlightener, something about the democracy and legal system of modern capitalism, and The "separation of powers" that is being used in the United States was invented by Lao Meng.

Just when Guo Nuan was eagerly trying to piece together the scattered theories of Montequius, which still had some impressions in his mind, into a policy article, he hesitated when he started writing. Bourgeois theory after 1000 years, can these old feudal antiques from 1000 years ago understand?Even if you understand it, wouldn't it be a rebellious statement to write about the separation of powers?

In a feudal country, of course the emperor Lao Tzu is the biggest, with separation of powers and democracy?Move out a system of democratically voting for the prime minister. This will be seen by the cheap emperor Yuezhang, and it will be democratized. Isn't this going to divide his power and let him be laid off directly? It's strange to cook it raw.

Since people in the Tang Dynasty were ignorant of bourgeois theories, Guo Nuan thought about writing some Marxist socialist theory. At any rate, this is also one of the greatest among the descendants of Yan and Huang—the theory of revolutionary struggle used by Grandpa Mao. It's easy to see, the top three should be fine, the prince's brother-in-law has guaranteed the ticket, and he will definitely be "Jinshi".

"Eh? Grandma, when I was in Mathematics class at the university, I was too busy chatting with my neighbor in the lecture hall to develop friendship and connect with each other. I didn't care about listening to the old professor on the podium wearing presbyopic glasses chanting scriptures. Guo Nuan passed the exam by copying the papers of the four buddies who accompanied the exam. The Marxist theory books are difficult to understand, so only activists who join the party can read them. Guo Nuan also wants to join the party, but he is not active. The party has great potential for this But good seedlings who are not active are helpless, and Guo Nuan really can't remember clearly about Ma Si Mao's theory.

Come on, Guo Nuan's brain flashed, and he figured out that when he was practicing brush calligraphy in his previous life, he practiced postings in his study. Aren't the articles of Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, often used to copy? Zhi Lun" is quite in line with the meaning of the topic. Guo Nuan has written this article so many times to practice his thin gold calligraphy that he can memorize it upside down.

When Guo Nuan thought of Su Shi's article at that time, he immediately laughed and shook his hands and feet excitedly. His elbow almost knocked down the inkstone ink at the corner of the table. Dots, come on, no matter how good the article is, the examiner will not read it. In the ancient imperial examinations, the paper was called unclean, and the deduction of paper marks would cancel the qualification of the exam. Guo Nuan can go home directly and take the exam next year.

Six hundred characters, Guo Nuan is so happy that he is about to go to heaven. Su Shi’s great poet’s essays can be described as pearls of pearls, and every sentence makes sense.

It was like carving a stele. Guo Nuan wanted to carve every stroke meticulously. It took him two hours to chisel the [-]-character "On Punishment, Reward and Loyalty" on the paper. After reading and drawing the last sentence, I leaned over from the desk and looked up, and touched the back of the cloth shirt, as if it had just been washed, it was wet and dripping. The imperial examination is really time-consuming and energy-consuming delicate work , Guo Nuan sighed, ordinary people really can't do it.

After leaving the examination room, Pu Shangxuan's complexion was much worse than that of Guo Nuan's. His face was as pale as a tuberculosis ghost, as if white flour had been smeared on his face. .

Fortunately, Ah Fu, Luo Yuan and a large group of family members from the Princess House have come to pick them up in a BMW car.It is said that Shengping is very calm, knowing that Guo Nuan will definitely be able to get a high school Jinshi with his strength, so he didn't worry too much. He went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, for vacation the day before the imperial examination.However, before Shengping left, he still gave instructions to the servants in the mansion, telling him to give Guo Nuan some special care during the exam.

"My son-in-law, it's serious. Come out of the door and have a look. Tan...Tanhua, oh no, there are still... the champions are here!" A little maid outside the courtyard yelled, stuttering when she was excited .

Guo Nuan is using a claw hammer in his yard. He is nesting in the half-acre garden and knocking. It is early spring, the temperature has risen, and the young shoots of the cuttings are also coming out from the old branches. Guo Nuan was thinking about building a pergola for her precious black pearl grape seedlings.

"Master, there is a servant girl calling you outside the yard."

A Fu, who was weeding with a hoe, turned his head and called out to Guo Nuan.

"Uh, it seems that the little maid accidentally bumped into her eyes when she went to pick some flowers? It's really such a small matter, what's the fuss about?"

Guo Nuan muttered to herself, then took off a rivet she was biting between her teeth, raised the big hammer and slammed it into the stake neatly.

After finishing speaking, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid broke into the courtyard panting, and waved to Guo Nuan from a distance and shouted: "Consort... Ma, consort, you are in high school, a group of eunuchs beat gongs and drums!" , They are waiting outside the gate of the mansion with the imperial decree."

"Oh, I won the dozens of places, so it won't be the bottom of the third round of the palace test, right?" Guo Nuan became a little interested, and when she heard the maid's words, she stopped her work in a leisurely manner.

"No...not" the servant girl was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly. Holding the arched door of the courtyard, she gasped for several breaths before explaining clearly: "I don't know, anyway, the eunuchs carried two hanging flowers The colorful bronzing plaque has come to the door."

"Uh, that's weird, what words are written on the two plaques?" Guo Nuan became more and more confused the more he listened.

"One is the No. [-] pick, and the other is the No. [-] pick!"

When Ah Fu heard the maidservant's words, there was a bang, and the weeding hoe fell to the ground, hitting the back of his foot immediately, ignoring the pain, Ah Fu stuttered at his young master and began to stammer: "Young...Master, young master, You and Park Sang-hyun are two people who participated in the imperial examination."

"Yeah, what's the matter with the two of you?"

"The eunuchs also sent two plaques. Don't you think about it, except for one of them is yours, who else would have it!" The cat that stepped on its tail suddenly jumped up excitedly, and shouted loudly, "It's high school!"

"Are you in high school?"

"It's high school! Young master, you and Pu Shangxuan are both in the top of high school."

"Grandma, in a yard that is too small for a sparrow to live in, there are actually two first-class Jinshi..."
