Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 519 End of Scientific Examination (4000)

"What is this? It's so white and smooth, and the fragrance of the flower is that of jasmine!"

A candidate held the white paper as solemnly as if he was holding a memorial tablet of his ancestors, and even bent down and sucked the fragrance in the paper vigorously with his nose.

A gong sounded in the hall, and the buzzing in the examination room suddenly vanished. All the examinees were shocked. Now is the time for the imperial examination, how can they be noisy.

Guozijian Jijiu, that is, the chief examiner Bai Lixi was very satisfied with the effect of the gong, straightened up, coughed lightly, and said to all the examinees in the examination room: "The thing in your hands is called paper, and it was ordered by His Royal Highness Han Gong. It has been developed for everyone to write on, and the cost of paper is very cheap, presumably it will be able to replace the bulky and inconvenient bamboo slips in the near future.”

The students were in an uproar.

Looking at the white paper in his hands, he was a little at a loss. The appearance of the white paper really impacted the inherent thinking of the candidates. The world should change. Many candidates thought of this sentence in their minds.

Bailixi did not stop the candidates from making noise this time, but waited until the candidates gradually recovered their composure, and then said in a stern voice: "I have to tell you in advance, if anyone is caught cheating, I'm sorry, I will be expelled from the examination room immediately." , and you will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination for ten years, I hope you will not be greedy for a momentary advantage and regret it all your life!"

Bailixi looked around for a week, and then shouted: "The exam begins!"

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, which represented the beginning of the scientific examination, and the gate of the examination room was completely closed, and the invigilators and soldiers continued to patrol the examination room, and the piercing gaze made those candidates with ghosts in their hearts break out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and their calves protruded .

Lao Du was not disturbed by the patrolling soldiers, nor was he in a hurry to write. Instead, he examined the questions in the paper patiently, and only after he had a good idea, did he start to grind the ink. Gently write your own future on the scroll.

There are still unbelieving candidates who put double layers on their clothes and were directly discovered by the invigilator. There was no nonsense and they were directly expelled from the examination room. The common people lost all confidence in an instant, covered their faces, and left the examination room in despair.

Afterwards, the news that the scholar was plagiarized and expelled from the examination room spread around the examination room, and then spread. This person's reputation is completely stink.

The day passed quickly, but because it was summer, the sky was quite bright.

"Boom boom boom!"

The three-way drum sounded, representing the end of the exam.

The invigilating officials shouted to the candidates in the field: "The test is over, put down the pen, or the test results will be cancelled!"

Candidates who hadn't finished writing all wailed, but they could only put down the pen in their hands. After all, not finishing writing didn't mean they couldn't pass the exam, but if their scores were cancelled, they would really have to go home.

When the test papers were collected, all the candidates saw that Baili Xi in the classroom did not speak, and did not dare to move. Baili Xi said at this time: "The list will be released in three days, as long as the candidates on the list are the admitted candidates, all candidates will be admitted. After studying in the Imperial Academy for one to three years, they were sent down to serve as officials in various places."

"There was supposed to be a palace examination, and His Royal Highness Han would question everyone here. However, because His Highness Han was away on an expedition, the palace examination was cancelled. All results will be based on the results of this national examination."

"His Royal Highness ordered you to travel thousands of miles to Beiping because of your recognition of our Han country. Don't be discouraged even if you haven't passed the exam. The imperial examination is held once a year. If you fail this year, you can continue to take the imperial examination next year."

"His Royal Highness has prepared a gift for you. After you leave the examination room, each of you can receive one. His Royal Highness said that the door of Han is open to you at any time!"

Everyone was very surprised, no one expected that Liu De would prepare gifts for everyone, which made the scholars feel exhausted and rushed to the door.

When Lao Du arrived at the entrance of the examination room, there was already a long line outside the door. Everyone would take something wrapped in cloth when they went out. Although Lao Du was calm, he was actually quite curious in his heart. What can His Royal Highness present as a gift?
The exclamation from outside the wall from time to time made Lao Du's heart itchy even more.

Finally it was Lao Du's turn, but the official who handed out the gift specifically asked, "Which school did you study?"

"Confucianism"

Before Lao Du finished speaking, the official handed a package to Lao Du, and urged Lao Du to hurry up and not waste time.

Lao Du had no choice but to swallow the second half of the sentence, and hurried out of the examination room with the package in hand.

Looking around outside the examination room, I saw Lao Zhao squatting in the corner with his back to him!

"Brother Zhao!"

Lao Du called out, but Lao Zhao seemed to be staring at the ground, and he didn't pay attention to Lao Du at all.

Lao Du had no choice but to walk over to see what Lao Zhao was doing!

"Brother Zhao, you are here"

Old Du's footsteps stopped, ignoring Brother Zhao in front of him, but hurriedly opened the package, and waited for the package to be opened layer by layer, revealing the snow-white corner.
Lao Du's hands trembled a little. Looking at the brand-new Confucian classics in front of him, Lao Du murmured, but he couldn't utter a word.

After a while, he said: "His Royal Highness deserves to win the world!"

The classics of various schools have regained the hearts of scholars!
Bailixi sat in the main seat, and there were carefully selected officials from various ministries in the room. Their task was to pass all the test papers within one day. After a day of re-examination, the number of people on the list was counted on the last day, and the list was finally released.

And Bailixi, as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, is here to take charge of the overall situation and prevent accidents, or if there are any test papers that are difficult to deal with, he will deal with them himself.

"My lord, the results are out!"

An official handed the final list to Baili Xi's case.

Although this list is light, Bailixi feels it is as heavy as Mount Tai. The implementation of the imperial examination is definitely a feat, a feat of breaking the shackles of the world.

Bai Lixi's spirit, which had been tense for several days, also relaxed, holding the list and smiling, "I can finally rest for a while, the old man's body is not getting better every day. I think when I was young, I once shot a tiger in the forest. , Riding freely!"

"Your majesty is still the same as before!" The official flattered him a little.

Bailixi chuckled, picked up the list and looked it over carefully, and after browsing through it, he said to the official: "Bring over the test papers of the 12 people on the first list, I want to have a look."

"The minister is going!"

The officials responded quickly.

Baili Xifu lifted up the list and tapped No.1 on the list with his finger.

Softly said: "Du Ruhui"

"Out of the list! Out of the list!"

"Hurry up and see!"

"I hit! I hit!"

"Congratulations! Brother Zhang!"

Originally, a big notice board had been erected outside the examination room, and just after dawn, the officials pasted the list on the notice board, with the names and birthplaces of the scholars on it, and it was divided into two lists, A and B. There are 12 people, but there are more than 100 people in the second list. If you think about it with your ass, you know that the first list must be a hundred times stronger than the second list!
"Which one is Du Ruhui, Mr. Du!"

A boy broke into the inn and shouted loudly.

Du Ruhui and his good friend Zhao Rufei had just finished breakfast, they were stunned when they heard their name, they stood up and said, "I am Du Ruhui."

"You are Mr. Du!"

Under the eyes of everyone in the hall, the young servant hurriedly came to Du Ruhui, bowed to Du Ruhui and shouted, "Congratulations, Mr. Du, for being No.1 in the top ranking, the number one scholar in high school!"

"what!"

There were bursts of exclamations in the lobby, and for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on this middle-aged man who was not too conspicuous.

Zhao Rufei also cheered for his friend and said, "Congratulations, brother Du, congratulations, brother Du!"

"Dare to ask this young master's name?" The servant asked Zhao Rufei.

"I'm Zhao Rufei!"

"But Zhongzhou Governor Zhao Rufei?"

"It's down!"

The servant also cupped his hands and said congratulatoryly, "Congratulations Mr. Zhao for being ranked in the second list! The same high school!"

Although Zhao Rufei was happy for his friend, he didn't have much hope for whether he could pass the exam, but when he heard the young man's words, he was really stunned.

Du Ruhui patted Zhao Rufei on the shoulder, "It seems that our two brothers will be officials in the same palace from now on!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Rufei laughed, took out a piece of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the boy's hand, then said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper! I have paid for the meals of all the guests here. Also, bring some wine, I'm going to get drunk today One match!"

"Thank you sir!"

The people in the lobby also shouted in unison, and congratulated the two of them.

Holding a large ingot of silver, the servant happily left the inn.

Cheng's mansion, from the mansion of the second-rank Dali Temple official Cheng Yu, the servants of Cheng's mansion quickly ran back to the mansion, and shouted to the Cheng family who were waiting for the news in the lobby: "Congratulations to the eldest son, congratulations to the eldest son, you are in the first place in high school! No.3, high school prospect!"

Cheng Yu's wife, Mrs. Zhou, said happily: "Wu'er, your hard work is not in vain. If you are not a high school student, your father will be happy for you!"

Cheng Yu's eldest son, Cheng Wu, was not very happy, but said to his mother: "Xu Shao, a famous scholar from Danzhou, commented on the world's young talents, and children are not talented. Adding him to the list, although he is the last one, is also a compliment to me. Encouragement, but now I can't even win the champion, I am really ashamed of my father's earnest teaching and His Highness's ardent hope!"

"Wu'er, there are so many heroes and talents in the world. For example, Huo Dudu, who is only 19 years old, has made many generals look up to him for his martial arts. Although he should study harder to win the top prize, he should not do it for fame and fortune. So, when your father sees you like this, he will definitely scold you!"

Cheng Wu was sweating profusely from his mother's preaching, knelt down and said: "Thank you for your mother's teaching, the child almost got into a dead end and went astray!"

"It's not too late for you to understand now!"

Zhou said.

"Cheng Shi, what are the names of the champion and the second place?"

Zhou said anxiously: "Wu'er, you can't do anything wrong!"

"Where is the mother thinking? Although the boy is not convinced, how can he do harm to others! From now on, the boy and them will study in the Imperial Academy for one to three years. Let's get to know each other in advance. The two of them will definitely win the first prize and the second place." There is something extraordinary, the child also wants to see it!"

Cheng Wu said to his mother.

"That's good! You go!" Zhou nodded.

Cheng Wu nodded, and looked at the boy who was still at the side, Cheng Shi immediately said: "The number one scholar is named Du Ruhui, from Duling, Zhongzhou, and the second place name is Wei Zheng, from Guantao, Jizhou."

"Wei Zheng? I seem to have heard this name somewhere, do you know where they live?"

"The little one doesn't know, but the little one is going to find out!"

"Go, go!"

Cheng Wu urged.

Wisconsin.

The coalition forces formed by the powerful forces in Weizhou have already camped on the opposite side of the Han army, because there are still soldiers and horses from afar coming one by one, and all the forces are gathering together, frictions continue, and even small incidents occurred in the camp. Huobing, large and small matters, caused the three most powerful princes in Weizhou quite a headache.

He could only focus all his energy on appeasing the generals, and had no intention of going to war at all.

But Yu Chigong and the others had too few soldiers and horses under their command, and the main task was to wait for Liu De to lead the army to come, so they set up camp with peace of mind and guarded the city.

It's not that Yu Chigong never thought of taking advantage of the enemy's confusion to launch a sneak attack, but although the enemy's military orders are different, after all, the three chiefs are not stupid, and they have deployed the pro-army as a defense. Stick to it, no longer attack.

Inside the big tent, there was a lot of noise, more than a dozen powerful people shouted and expressed their opinions.

Ma Teng knocked vigorously on the table in front of him, relying on his prestige to finally stop the commotion in the big tent.

When Ma Teng saw that all the generals had quieted down, he said in a loud voice: "The meeting is held here today to discuss the next military action. You are all powerful in Weizhou, occupying counties and counties and defending yourself. Now the Duke of Han Liu De suddenly raised troops to attack Weizhou. If we can't work together and continue to quarrel here, I'm afraid we will die by Liu De's knife sooner or later, and your fields, wealth, wives and daughters will also be taken by Liu De. Yes, are you willing?"

Everyone is silent.

Han Yue, who was sitting on the main seat, saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and then he laughed and said, "Brother Ma, I think everyone sitting here is aware of the seriousness of the problem, otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here! You are so impatient, but It's not your brother Ma's demeanor!"

"Yes! Yes! General Han is right!"

"We are indeed ready to fight the enemy with one heart and one mind!"

When the princes in the hall saw it, they hurriedly responded, and the atmosphere in the big tent finally became a little more harmonious.

Li Zhang, a Qiang man on the other side, said dissatisfiedly: "How can there be so much nonsense? There are only 3 troops on the other side, and we have [-] to [-] soldiers and horses now, and most of them are cavalry. Just charge up. Even if we can't completely annihilate the enemy army, we can drive them across the Luan River!"

"General Li is right!"

"That's right! We have such a large number of advantages, we are afraid of being a bird!"

Ma Teng snorted coldly, and said, "Then General Li is willing to be the vanguard and take the lead? If General Li agrees to take the lead, then XX also agrees to directly attack!"

"Humph!"

Li Zhang stopped talking, I will take the lead first, the soldiers and horses lost are my direct descendants, you want to take advantage of it later, there is no way!

"The soldiers and horses are not complete yet, let's wait!"

Han Yue, who was sitting in the main seat, continued to smooth things over.
