Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Zhao Shouzheng saw that the test question came out and it turned out to be the one he had been practicing hard for the whole month, Zhao Shouzheng was naturally elated and almost laughed like a pig.

    Now his confidence naturally increased greatly. He ignored the first question and read the next two "Four Books" and the four "Book of Rites" he chose.  It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. Zhao Shouzheng has more than 20 years of skill, and Zhao Jin taught him the key points of articles. This time, the right time, place and people were favorable, and the following articles were also beautifully written.  .

    When it was past noon on the third day and all six articles had been transcribed, he started to write again and directly transcribed the article "Zigong Asks about Politics" that was dead in his mind on the paper.

    Then he handed over the paper with confidence, joined Hua Shuyang and Wang Wuyang, and walked together to Zhao Hao and others waiting outside the Gongyuan.

    "How is it?" Fan Datong, although he did not attend the event, was very concerned about the candidates' performance.

    "Forget it, a big topic actually came up. I really didn't expect it." Hua Shuyang said with a gloomy look on his face: "If I had known it was so simple, why would I have read so many useless articles?"

    "Yeah, it's easier than the county and government exams, and it doesn't show your level at all!" Wang Wuyang also complained: "If you fail to pass Jieyuan, you will be in trouble"

    The candidates passing by heard the first half of the sentence and thought it was an excuse for a scumbag, so they were about to chuckle.  But when he heard the second half of his sentence, he almost fell to the ground.

    This is Jiangnan Gongyuan, which is known as the graveyard of students!

    The difficulty of passing the entrance examination for students in South Zhili is the highest in the country!  Whoever succeeds in the examination here is the one whose ancestors' graves are filled with smoke.  But this guy kept saying that he wanted to take the Jieyuan test. Could it be that he was going crazy in the cell?

    Who knows, he heard his companion say: "Don't even think about it, Jieyuan must be mine!"

    The candidates were completely speechless, fearing that the madness would be contagious, so they quickly stayed away from these two lunatics.

    Zhao Hao listened to their bragging with a smile, but today he will not attack them again.

    This is the time when you are full of vigor, and when you are ready to go all out, Toad Palace will win the championship, how can you not let it go instead?  !

    After entering the restaurant and having dinner, Zhao Hao sent his father to his room to rest, then he smiled and said, "Is it okay?"

    "No problem." Zhao Shouzheng smiled tiredly and fell asleep.

    ??~~

    Although the rankings are almost determined after the first game, we still can¡¯t be careless in the last two games.  It is said that there is also an old man whose articles are so well done that they are even published as model essays.  But the official statement of judgment was written in a mess, and it was scrapped several times, which was extremely miserable.

    After a good night's sleep, the candidates set off again with renewed energy and went to the Gongyuan Academy to examine applied literary styles such as essays, judgments, imperial edicts, imperial edicts, and expressions.

    This is to test whether the candidates meet the basic conditions for being an official.  Although it is not as strict as the eight-part essay, if you make a mistake, you may still be dismissed.

    ¡° But this is not a problem at all for Zhao Shouzheng.

    Because he had passed the exam so many times, and when Zhao Liben was an official, he had to copy the essays for his father.  Therefore, compared with ordinary candidates, the advantages are very obvious.

    ¡°Then he went out of the examination room on the 14th, slept again, and took the third examination on the 15th. The five subjects were Classics, History, and Current Affairs. This was to examine the insights of Anbang and Dingguo What important national affairs did the scholar who studied behind closed doors all day know?  Most of them are just nonsense. As long as you don't violate taboos, no one will care whether your writing is good or not.

    On the 18th, the candidates who had been completely hollowed out staggered out of Gongyuan in a state of confusion.  They were still able to hold on for a while, but after the exam they were completely exhausted.

    Zhao Hao quickly asked someone to help the three shaky candidates and put them into a sedan chair to carry them home.

    Halfway through the carriage, he heard thunderous snoring coming from the three sedans. He couldn't help but secretly gasped, and once again strengthened his determination not to suffer this fate.

    After returning home, the three candidates fell asleep. It is estimated that they will not be able to relax for a few days.

    Fortunately, after the exam, they were completely fine. They were just waiting to see the results next month.

    ??~~

    It was only then that Zhao Jin told Zhao Hao that he had received a letter from the Ministry of Officials and was promoted to the position of Taipusi Cheng in Beijing.

    "What grade is Taipu Si Cheng?" Zhao Hao couldn't react for a while.

    "It's the sixth grade." Zhao Jin replied softly.

    "Oh, isn't this two levels up in a row?" Zhao Hao heard this and cupped his hands with a smile: "Congratulations, you have to celebrate!"

    "Well, Bi Mawen is just a warm man, there is nothing to celebrate." Zhao Jin smiled bitterly and said: "I have been waiting for such a compensation for a long time. It seems that the imperial court thought that my brother was too old and gave me a sinecure.  Retired.¡±

    "No." Zhao Hao quickly comforted him: "Brother"Going to Beijing will be of great use. The so-called Taipusi Cheng is just a transfer. You will definitely not stay in this position!"  "

    "Okay, I accept your good advice." Zhao Jin just vented his depression a little, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I am doing this for my brother. I think a few months ago I was still a thief who could only eat porridge.  , now that Zhao Xue has been rehabilitated and promoted to Beijing, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"

    "It's just human nature. My brother is not a sage, so there is no need to criticize yourself." Zhao Hao comforted him with a smile.

    Most of Zhao Jin¡¯s peers were promoted to the third rank or above in the same year, and there were also many first- and second-rank officials.  Zhao Jin was okay when there was no hope before, but now that he has regained his official status, he will compare himself with them unconsciously.

    "Brother, will you wait for the old sister-in-law and the old nephew to come and meet up before heading to Beijing together?" Seeing that the old brother was still depressed, Zhao Hao changed the topic.

    "I'm afraid it won't work, I will set off soon." Zhao Jin shook his head and said: "It has been twenty days since I received the order. If I delay it any longer, I am afraid that the censor will slack off and even Bima Wen will not be able to accept it.  "

    "That's right. Brother, business is important. You just go to Beijing to take up the post, and I will take care of your family affairs." Zhao Hao took care of everything, making Zhao Jin feel very warm.

    "Brother, I won't be polite to you. Fortunately, my uncle will go to Beijing to take the exam soon. Then our family can meet again." Zhao Jin held Zhao Hao's hand tightly and seemed to be very fond of Zhao Shouzheng.  Have confidence.

    "It seems that my brother needs to buy a bigger house." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "I heard that the officials in the capital are poor, so I will prepare a generous Cheng Yi for my brother. I can't let my sister-in-law and nephew suffer anymore.  "

    ¡°I¡¯ve benefited a lot from my brother, so it¡¯s not good to take my brother¡¯s money any more.¡± Zhao Jin hurriedly gave way.

    "What difference do you and I have between brothers? What's mine is yours," Zhao Hao waved his hand and deliberately pretended to be heroic: "Besides, I have earned so much, if my brother doesn't spend it, who will spend it?"

    "Haha, brother Xian, you are really my brother" Zhao Jin looked at Zhao Hao, and all the depression in his heart disappeared. Suddenly his eyes turned red, and he said with great reluctance: "I can get to know brother Xian when I am in trouble."  , As a brother, what else can you not be satisfied with?"

    "This is my blessing, little brother." Zhao Hao also shook Zhao Jin's hand vigorously.

    ??~~

    Three days later, Zhao Jin boarded an official ship at Jiangdong Pier, and Yu Peng also went north with him.

    Before leaving, Zhao Hao quietly gave Zhao Jin an envelope and told him to open it only when he encountered major issues that he was hesitant about in the future.

    Seeing that he said it solemnly, Zhao Jin didn't care and kept the envelope close to his body.

    Zhao Hao also asked Yu Peng to take good care of his old brother. If the money is not enough, he will send a message back.

    Then the three of them shed tears and said goodbye.

    Zhao Hao turned around after watching the official ship go away along the Yangtze River.

    Fatty Tang had been waiting in the distance for a long time. When he saw this, he couldn't wait to pounce on him. His excited words were incoherent and intermittent:

    "My lord, my lordthe details of the opening of the sea have finally been announced, and only one port in Yuegang, Fujian has been opened"

    "Also, no ships going to sea are allowed to go to Japan. If you go privately, you will be punished with the crime of treason!"

    ¡°Moreover, there is a limit of 44 ships in each of the two oceans every year. Going out to sea privately is considered a Japanese crime!

    ¡°Those who fail to return after the expiry date after going to sea will be charged with treason with the Japanese even if their documents are complete!¡±

    "Young master, you really opened the sea and opened the sea, but in the end there was only a crack"

    Zhao Hao, however, looked calm, pushed Fatty Tang far away, avoided his spit, and asked, "What's the price of silk?"

    "The news came this morning, and all the silk merchants in the city went crazy" Fatty Tang immediately said with joy on his face: "I haven't bothered to inquire about the price, but it will definitely be cut in half."
