Chapter 500

Don't think that the pancakes of the world are the pancakes and fruits of Tianjin.

The pancakes here are a bit like big round pan pancakes in Shandong.

It's just that the flour slurry on the frying pan has been replaced with buckwheat flour.

Both sides are burnt yellow. When they are sold, they also become soft cakes.

What surprised Gu Zheng most was that in the Zhou Dynasty, pancakes were eaten with garlic.

A head of garlic was taken by the crazy Taoist priest. He took a click and shouted. With such a comfortable spray, the taste, not to mention how sour it is.

Inexplicably, Gu Zheng missed his toothbrush and mint mouthwash.

After he stuffed a whole sheet of cold white boiled pancakes, there was only resentment about the house here.

Without a quilt, you won by the number of layers of cloth. The great Zhou Dynasty... You won.

Gu Zheng spent the most wonderful ten days in such tasteless steamed cakes, sesame porridge and cool and breathable bedding.

Eager to see, until this session of the Chunwei held.

The Chunwei, the so-called national examination, is very different from the imperial examination that Gu Zheng once experienced, which has been very perfect in the dynasty.

Take the most obvious number.

Together with Gu Zheng, only 800 people participated in the examination room of mingjingke this time, and only 1600 candidates participated in the most popular imperial examination room of Jinshi.

In the middle of this year, there was no notice of the provincial test for the remaining 50 small categories, such as mingsuan, Mingfa and Junshi. Therefore, in today's Luoyang, only these more than 2000 people came to the gate of Shangshu province outside the palace of Luoyang.

Here, there is no rule of entering the court before dawn.

In the examination center of Shangshu Province, the adults who are going to host the spring palace are still chatting and meeting with great interest.

When the gate of Shangshu province and the two side doors were opened together, the inspection team composed of Yulin Wei verified the bodies of the Gong students who came to take the exam, the examiners were red in the face in Shangshu province.

What are they fighting for?

Competing for the first place.

There are no members in today's imperial examination. If the current Emperor Wu doesn't make a clear intention and determines to screen the second time in the later palace examination, the list of the last top scholars can be determined by relying on the current seven or eight officials of Shangshu province.

It is no more than who is well-known early, who is the family child of which powerful clan, or the family of that important official in the current Dynasty has children who go out of office at the right time. The places of these top scholars naturally want to be reserved for these people.

Because now, 96.7% of the people who can take part in the imperial examination are from noble families. Even if the remaining few% of the students are from "civilians", most of them are Gu Zheng's clients. Their families are landowners with surplus wealth, and they have followed the "civilians" of famous teachers and scholars since childhood?

Therefore, those who have obtained the identity of the examinee after the rural examination are not what the poor can expect.

So what can you complain about when the champion is booked?

But this time, there was a variable in de Chunwei, which was mixed in.

All of a sudden, the number of top scholars in Zhongshu province was divided into two different factions.

That's Gu Zheng, an unknown boy recommended by the powerful officials in the court. This is the walking paper personally handed over by the old housekeeper of Di Renjie's family, the chief assistant of the dynasty, a few days ago. He named the boy who was the top scholar.

The other wave of people were all appointed by the emperor's son-in-law with the title of Xun GUI.

Although they were only in the name of participating in the imperial examination test, they also tried their best to fight for a red ear and thick neck for the imperial examination of mingjingke.

Just because they want to open their eyes for the brother of a newly emerging male favorite in front of the emperor.

Moreover, this male pet was given to the Emperor Wu with the hands of Princess Taiping biting her teeth. It was once the most favored man around her... Zhang changzong.

This man, who was described as a pure and elegant white lotus in the mouth of Emperor Wu, unfortunately, once he was successful, he got the quota of rural tribute students in Chunwei for his two brothers.

And his two brothers, one named Zhang YILENG, who is a sophomore at home, are honest and have only one thought in his heart, that is, to test a countryman of tribute origin. Now his six younger brothers have helped him realize it. Naturally, he is also satisfied.

Of course, everyone's No. 1 is not for him.

This champion is for another brother.

Even Gu Zheng, who doesn't care much about gossip, has heard of it. He is a famous Luoyang lady killer named Zhang Yizhi.

This man has some fame and has been on good terms with Zhang changzong since childhood.

LIULANG, who stayed in Zhangjia, was once spoiled in the palace. As Wulang, who was his brother, naturally he would soar to the sky.

Therefore, those high-ranking officials who had been more or less inspired by the emperor of Wu shouted at the ministers with real power.

This made these old men who were in high positions in the dynasty, one by one, with beards and angry eyes.

Just when the two groups of people were in a stalemate, the timing drum outside Zhongshu province missed and knocked three times, which means that the Gong students of the classification examination of these two subjects have all been seated now, waiting for you to distribute the test paper of the spring palace.

At this point, the two groups of people who are deadlocked simply step back.

"Since our number is close, I wonder if we can simply use the results of this imperial examination."

"Didn't Zhang LIULANG say in front of Emperor Wu that his two brothers are rare people with both intelligence and intelligence?"

"We'll bring the people we recommend, not just these two. If you think they're all good, how about fair competition?"

As soon as the waiter's words were said, they were unanimously praised by the power ministers. Although Xun GUI's people with a little brain have muttered, now they can't fight for results, this is the most fair way.

Even if Emperor Wu asked later, they could also push it on the Zhang brothers.

They can boast that it's not that they don't try their best, but that the other party doesn't learn enough.

So, the distinguished gentlemen who had figured it out, waved their big hands and agreed.

At this time, the officials waiting for the debate results of the adults in the hall at the door dare to distribute the test papers already held in their arms to all the eager students in turn.

At this time, the two semi open-air halls on the left and right in Shangshu province were already full of people.

There is a simple Futon under each person's ass, and there is only a low couch for kneeling in front of them, with a set of unified pen, ink, paper and inkstone. This is all the imperial court can provide for students in the provinces and cities of Zhongshu province this time.

Before entering the door, the Yulin guards, because the students do not have to bring their own dry food luggage, just need to carefully check their personal clothes to prevent entrainment, and they can be released easily.

Such a relaxed examination room atmosphere is hard to see among the later generations.

Therefore, Gu Zheng is very satisfied with the environment of this examination room.

At least it doesn't have to be like in the Ming Dynasty. It's like being in prison. One lock is three days. The smell of incense is spent in a small prison of several square meters.

Now, with the cold of spring and the warm weather, the spring pavilion between the courtyard of the main hall swept by the breeze is more like a free and unrestrained student event.

When the people had not recovered their excitement because they had entered Shangshu province for the first time, the blue official clothes left the factory, which made all the students in the field quiet.

When he reached the official above the hall, holding a thick pile of test papers, he followed his colleagues who distributed them with him. After clearing his throat, he began to say the requirements of the spring palace.

"This is the main hall of the right side hall of Shangshu province. All the students in this courtyard were selected by various state capitals and passed the township tribute with the title of raising people."

"It's not too much to say that it's talents from all over the country."

"However, after you have received the test paper, I would like to kindly remind you that no cheating is allowed in this mingjingke exam."

"Because, as the invigilator of this time, we will closely inspect the whole examination process."

"You know, the enrollment of mingjingke this time is only 35."

"If you Township tribute people, because of small losses, have taken extraordinary measures for a small problem and have been caught by our officials in charge of invigilating the examination."

"Well, you are not only the examination of Ming classics, but also the imperial court entered the list of cheating students into the post record of Chunwei in Shangshu province."

"All the township tribute on this list have been disqualified from the imperial court since then. Since then, there is only one place for tribute students."

"As for how your local school administrators and parents will punish you after returning home, it is not the responsibility of our Central Library province."

Hearing the officials say here, many students couldn't help shivering.

This is tantamount to depriving a scholar of his identity.

Or permanent.

Such students, let alone return home, just find a moat and throw it in.

Even back home, it's notorious. There's no way to go.

Thinking of this, the students who had some little thoughts immediately stopped.

The admission rate of 800 is 35. Even if you don't win, no one will laugh at you too much.

Of course, those talented people who have long been famous do not take this seriously at all.

Your talent is waiting for the test of this moment.
