Ming politicians

The private room was very quiet, no one spoke, only the heavy breathing of Sun Yuankun and others.

Sun Yuankun's face turned red and pale for a while, and he was speechless for a long time. As for Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang, he couldn't even open his mouth.As for Xiong Zijian, he seemed calmer. He probably made a decision long ago.

In fact, Su Tiancheng also understood that Luo Zijian would definitely stay by his side, that talisman was the best explanation, if Luo Zijian was going to leave, he would not give him that talisman.

A full 5 minutes passed, and everyone in the private room was standing.

Su Tiancheng looked calm, Luo Zijian looked calm, but Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang were different, with solemn expressions, as if they were making an important decision.

Sun Yuankun finally picked up the big bowl, and then Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang also picked up the big bowl.

"Mr. Su is a real hero. We are convinced and awaken the dreamer with one word. If we continue like this, we will have no face to see the old lady and the old lady after we die. If Mr. Su is willing to accept us, please drink this A bowl of wine."

Su Tiancheng couldn't wait for it, so he quickly raised the big bowl that had been put down.

This bowl of wine has an extraordinary meaning.

Everyone shattered the big bowl, including Wang Dazhi.

"Mr. Su, we are soldiers. We eat meat and drink with big bowls. We don't have so many thoughts. Since we follow the son and repay him with all our lives, only the son follows the lead. When the old man was wronged, there were many brothers who wanted to follow the old man. , but the old lady told us, don’t do this, there is always a time when we can see the sun, and we finally understand.”

"General Sun said that. I am really ashamed. The world is dangerous, and I understand it, but I think that it is better to retreat and form a net than to face the abyss and envy the fish. As long as the brothers work together, they will always be able to face all difficulties. You are soldiers, have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and understand the cycle of life better, I don’t want to talk about the big truth, in the future, we will share weal and woe, share weal and woe, and we must make a difference.”

Su Tiancheng never imagined that the military battalion led by Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, and Luo Chang actually had 3000 people, plus many family members, the scale was close to [-].

He was a little dizzy. What kind of concept is this? Let’s not talk about other things. Just living is a huge expense. It seems that his task is very difficult. Although there are more than 3 taels of gold in the mansion, these gold , it is impossible to last for a long time, only to find a way from the land.

Pingyang Fucheng is his base camp, which can also be regarded as a logistics base, but according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, he is a high school in the palace examination, and it is impossible to return to Pingyang Fucheng. This avoidance system is firmly implemented by the court.

At this moment, Su Tiancheng vaguely made up his mind, even if he passed the palace examination for high school, he couldn't stay in the capital, he had to go somewhere else, so that he could be with many brothers and slowly gather strength, Slowly move forward and slowly change history.

Sun Yuankun was familiar with the rules of the imperial court, and he came up with a solution. The brothers were all waiting for news at Mount Emei. When they needed it and when they would leave the mountain, they all waited for Su Tiancheng's arrangement. The implication was to wait for Su Tiancheng's imperial examination to be completed. See how things develop.

Su Tiancheng agreed, and asked Wang Dazhi to go back to the mansion immediately, and take 500 taels of gold, which was handed over to Sun Yuankun, so that the brothers in Dashan and their families could improve their lives.

As for Xiong Zijian, he went back to Pingyang Mansion temporarily and waited for news at the mansion.

Su Tiancheng, who was in a good mood, finally got drunk, this time he was very drunk.

The rural examination is over, and the tense marking begins.

Xu Eryi and Fu Youliang became the busiest people. The four examiners read all the examination papers first, and handed over the excellent answer papers among them, and they finally made a decision.

Xu Eryi is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and his rank is higher than that of Fu Youliang. Therefore, the final decision on admission is still in Xu Eryi's hands. Of course, Fu Youliang's opinion is also crucial.

Although it is said that there are three exams and each candidate has three papers, the grading of the rural exams has formed a habit of only focusing on the first test paper. This is also because there are too many candidates and too many test papers, so it is impossible to have so many It's very energetic, after all, there are only six examiners and fellow examiners, after all, there are only ten days.

Besides, the test papers for the first session are also the contents of the Four Books.As long as the test paper of the first test is passed, there is no need to pay too much attention to the subsequent test papers.

In this way, the task of the examiner is much lighter.

Even so, several chief examiners and fellow examiners were still very busy. They didn't have time to go out to eat, and the meals were brought in by someone. They read the test papers while eating, and even went to the toilet. They all trotted all the way. Strictly speaking, they worked harder than the students in the rural examination.

People are not made of iron. Under such circumstances, it is not uncommon for some good test papers to be missed. It is precisely because of this reason that the examiner can take care of some relationships and find out among the eliminated test papers. The corresponding examination number will directly admit this person.

Xu Eryi would not do this. When he came to Shanxi to preside over the rural examination, he made up his mind to recruit talents for the imperial court.

He has a deep memory of what happened in the first and second years of Chongzhen, especially Yuan Chonghuan's suicide of Mao Wenlong, which caused the situation in Liaodong to deteriorate sharply. Boldly attack Daming.

Because his report was not approved by the emperor, he resigned in anger.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the emperor was Xiong Tingbi Zhaoxue, and in the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was also beheaded.

He who is at home is very happy to hear the news.

In the first month of Chongzhen's fourth year, he was recommended by the Crown Prince Taibao and Minister of the Ministry of Household Bi Ziyan, and he was reinstated as the head of the Ministry of Industry.

In March of this year, Liu Xingzhi, a general of Phi Island, caused chaos and killed another general, Chen Jisheng. As a result, he himself was killed by his subordinates. The two main generals of Phi Island were all killed, and the power of Hou Jin was restrained. Xu Eryi was heartbroken. , if Mao Wenlong had not been beheaded, such a situation would never have occurred.

Becoming the chief examiner of the rural examination was something he had never imagined. With such trust from the emperor, he was trembling and thoughtful, and he must do his best to recruit outstanding talents.

After three consecutive days, Xu Eryi didn't sleep very much. Among the chief examiner and fellow examiners, he worked the hardest, he was so tired that he couldn't even walk.

When entering the room, Xu Eryi found that several fellow examiners who marked the papers gathered together to look at a test paper, and one fellow examiner even read it softly.

"what happened?"

Xu Eryi walked over slowly, the marking work was so busy, how could he waste time.

Several fellow examiners who came over saw Dong Chang, and hurried back to their seats to continue reading the test paper.

The examiner with the test paper in his hand stood up and saluted Xu Er.

"My lord, I feel that the article in this test paper is really well written. It is majestic and majestic, and it is a rare good article."

"Oh, let me have a look."

Hearing that there are good articles, Xu Eryi also began to pay attention. You know, the same examiners who graded the papers read every day. I don’t know how many articles. Such an evaluation shows that this article is particularly outstanding.

As soon as Xu Er took the test paper, he stood where he was, and after only reading a short section, he felt that it was really good.

"Okay, I've taken this test paper, and you guys continue to work."

Hurrying back to the house, Xu Eryi read the article carefully. At first glance, he didn’t feel that it was very special. He just felt that there were some differences in this article. Stereotype essays are not very easy to write, but this article can actually Write some new ideas, which are quite different from other articles.

When I read it for the second time, Xu Er couldn't help but burst into tears, and even forgot to read the test number of this test paper.

After reading it three times, he walked back and forth in the room, calmed down a bit, and began to pay attention to the test numbers on the test papers.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were recorded all the examination numbers, and each examination number had a corresponding name.

After matching the test number and name, Xu Eryi thought for a while, and asked the officials waiting outside to find all the other two test papers of this test, and he had to read them carefully.

Xu Eryi got a little excited, and walked back and forth in the room, so that he didn't notice when the official came in with a stack of test papers.

After reading the three test papers, Xu Eryi was a little shocked. The three articles were majestic, and most importantly, the views revealed in them were indistinctly consistent with his thoughts.You must know that these candidates have not been able to enter the imperial court, and they have to study hard every day. It is impossible to know many things inside and outside the imperial court, but this examinee can show some ideas of governing the country in the article, which is commendable.

Soon, Fu Youliang also came over and began to read these three articles.

Marking work, so busy, can delay so much time for a candidate's test paper, of course the meaning is clear.

Xu Eryi never imagined that the examinees who wrote these three articles were familiar with history and had analyzed his character. The so-called knowing oneself, knowing the enemy, and invincible in all battles, they have mastered so many situations. If they are in the middle of the articles, no Can reflect it, isn't it mentally handicapped.

After reading the three articles, Fu Youliang agreed with Xu Eryi's comments.

Fu Youliang's point of view is very clear. It is very good for a candidate who can do a good job in the essays of the first exam. This candidate, the essays of the three candidates are all colorful, which is not easy. Such a candidate is definitely a talented.

The opinions of the two examiners were clear and unified.
