|||->-> may not believe it, but since he was promoted to Taifu and the chief consul of the hundred officials, Liu Chun found that he had a lot less to do. That's right, he only needs to focus on a few key government affairs now.

One is the construction of railways, which has been complicated by many people; Second, there is the issue of increasing agricultural production, and there are even more people involved, and almost all officials from top to bottom are included.

As for the third administrative task, it is to rectify the clan.

Now it seems that it is quite effective.

All the children of the clan were put into the army and trained.

Except for those with special talents, the children of the clan all receive martial arts training, and after passing the assessment, they will lead the troops out. Don't ask them to be invincible, just want to be able to understand military affairs, and when the time comes, the court will arrange a fief for them, so that they won't be beaten by the natives and cry.

These things took up most of the courtiers' energy, and many of them were busy from morning to night, and had to work overtime in the middle of the night, and they had no time to think about anything else.

There is no doubt that Yoo Chun would like so. It's just that in his busyness, he actually forgot one major event, that is, this year's imperial examination.

"I heard that there is also a list of sons-in-law, which is very lively. Follow me! Princess Lan Xin pulled Tang Sai'er and said with a smile: "How about I grab a good-looking son-in-law for you?" ”

Tang Sai'er's face was slightly red, "The princess said with a smile, I am from a humble background, how can I be worthy of Master Jinshi." Anyone who can pass the imperial examination is a Wenqu star in the sky, which is extraordinary! ”

"Oh?" Lan Xin was shocked, "Are they all Wenqu stars?" How many people will there be in that department? ”

"Two or three hundred at most, one or two hundred at less!"

"So much? I don't believe there are so many Wenqu stars in the sky! ”

Tang Sai'er chuckled, "That's what you say, it seems to be a noble status!" ”

"No matter how noble you are, you are also a courtier, when the time comes, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let him help you talk about matchmaking." Lan Xin is quite enthusiastic, and he has a posture of not succeeding and never giving up.

She took Tang Sai'er to see the list announced by the Ministry of Rites, and after going out, she happened to meet Princess Baoqing who came over.

Since following King Yi a few times, Baoqing has often come over.

Although Xu Miaoyun takes good care of her, after all, the palace is still too deserted, and there are many rules, far less free than outside.

Baoqing heard that she was going to the Ministry of Rites to see the release list, and she was also interested.

"I've heard for a long time that if you are admitted to the top prize, you have to go through the streets to praise officials, but it's lively!"

Baoqing got into the carriage and went to the Ministry of Rites with Lan Xin, and along the way, they were still talking! Just listened to Baoqing said: "Brother Yu Qian's knowledge is so good, Master Taifu's personal disciple, he will also end up in a few years, it is estimated that he must be the champion,"

Lan Xin said: "How did I hear that Tanhualang is actually better!" ”

Baoqing was not convinced, "Tanhua is the third place!" ”

"But Tanhua is beautiful!"

"Tanhua is edited by Hanlin, which is lower than the champion."

"Tanhua is beautiful!"

"The champion walks in the middle when he is boasting about the official!" Baoqing puffed out his cheeks and said.

Lan Xin still shrugged, "So what? Three people put together, don't you still stare at the good-looking look! ”

"You ......" Baoqing held back for a moment and nodded depressedly, "Even if you are right, Brother Yu Qian will take the top exam anyway." The little girl unswervingly supports Yu Qian.

If Liu Chun is here, he will be surprised, when is the apprentice's female relationship so good, and he has only come to the mansion a few times, and Baoqing has become an unswerving "Yu Blow", which is really incomprehensible?

Their carriage came to a halt outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

The little girls chattered and got out of the carriage.

The examination is usually held in February and March, and when the list is released, the apricot blossoms are in bloom, so the Ministry of Rites releases the list, also known as the apricot list.

Once every three years, this is the first time that the imperial court has moved its capital to Beiping, and it stands to reason that the significance is extraordinary.

When Baoqing got out of the car, a spring breeze blew, and he shivered, Tang Sai'er handed over the cloak and asked the little princess to put it on.

"It's still a little cold, the provinces raised their exams a few days ago, isn't it even colder?"

Tang Sai'er said in a low voice: "Indeed, and for nine consecutive days of the exam, without a good body, I really can't stand it!" ”

Baoqing was distressed when he heard this, "I told the fourth brother when I went back, let him postpone the time of the exam, so that Brother Yu Qian would not be frozen." ”

Lan Xin didn't have time to care about Yu Qian or not, she looked around, and finally saw a huge shadow wall, and there were people waiting under the wall.

Lan Xin looked left and right, and didn't see how lively it was.

Legend has it that where did the grand occasion of a sea of people watching the list together?

Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's just the level of an ordinary temple fair!

What about catching a son-in-law under the list?

Why didn't you see anyone coming to rob your son-in-law?

Lan Xin was dumbfounded, "Are we in the wrong place, or...... Misremembering the time? ”

While she was hesitating, two scribes came out of the Ministry of Rites, holding a note with their names written on them, and came to the red paper that had been prepared in advance, and pasted them to the last one.

"Congratulations to the 370th Gongshi of Huguang Gaohan."

At this time, in the crowd, there was a middle-aged man who wanted to laugh when he heard that he had won the last place, but he couldn't...... I can only keep comforting myself that I am hit, after all, I am hit, and it is much better than not being hit.

But if you get into it, why don't you have any envious eyes?

Could it be that his ranking is too low?

The new Kogonshi fled with his tail between his legs.

As soon as he left, the people from the Ministry of Rites sent out the list of candidates for the high school entrance examination one after another...... It turned out that those who passed the examination could only be called a tribute, not a jinshi. But the palace examination will not be dethroned, that is to say, if you pass the examination, you can already be regarded as a reserve official, and you can completely consider yourself an official.

Shinong industry and commerce, can pass the examination and become an official, that is, the top grade among the scholars, is to be envied by countless people?

Lan Xin and Baoqing were still interested at first, but when they looked at it, they were happy, without him, this year's examination was really too deserted, so cold that no one sent good news, so cold that many people didn't come to see the list, and the whole capital didn't seem to care much!

As we all know, the imperial examination, as the most important way to become an official, will attract countless eyes every time it takes the examination, and even give birth to a completed industry.

A few months before the examination, the inns in the capital entered a state of battle, welcoming the children from all over the country, providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone...... If you serve well, you can earn three years of money in these few months.

When the list is released, it will be even more lively.

There is a special group of people who are staring at the Ministry of Rites, and when they get out, they immediately go to report the good news.

The news was sent to the inn, as long as no one came in advance, you were the first, at least five taels of silver to start.

There is no need to worry about arrears.

Because even if there is a Gongshi master who can't come up with the money, there will be people who will be generous.

After the test, it will be an official, and I am afraid that they will not be able to owe money?

Therefore, every year of the big competition, from the children to enter Beijing one after another, to the examination, the palace examination, celebrations, banquets, thanking the teacher, making friends in the same department, and assigning duties...... For months, all eyes will revolve around these lucky winners.

It's like a big drama that lasts for half a year, and people are happy to see it.

But today, from beginning to end, it's so strange.

Knowing that the list is released, few people care.

If it weren't for the fact that the rankings were indeed announced outside the Ministry of Rites, the big guys would only think that the test had not started at all.

"What's going on? It's just so boring. Lan Xin couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, a young man in his early twenties appeared next to him.

His eyebrows are clear, sven, and very pleasing to the eye.

"A few little sisters, you also came to see the list?"

Lan Xin pouted: "Of course it is, we also plan to snatch a son-in-law back!" ”

The scholar looked at a few little girls and couldn't help laughing.

"Catching a son-in-law under the list is something that the Song Dynasty likes to do, and our Ming Dynasty has a strict restraint on officials, so it's not popular." The scholar was still affectionate, and he didn't say that the Ming Dynasty's salary was too low, and the situation of the officials was too poor, far less remarkable than the two Song Dynasty, so there was no longer a grand occasion of catching a son-in-law under the list.

Baoqing tilted his head and said, "Even if you don't catch your son-in-law on the list, it's too lonely this year!" ”

The young man was helpless, "Last year, the imperial court set up Jiaotong University, and many people went to take the Jiaotong University. Later, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jianyi was involved in the case, was dismissed and went home, and the Zhengdao Academy was also sealed, and many people were arrested. Naturally, no one cares about the whole test. ”

Baoqing said: "I see, then you are also in the exam?" ”

"Hmm!" The young man nodded helplessly, "I knew that I would go to Jiaotong University, and if I didn't come to this Raushzi Club, I would have tried." ”

Lan Xin smiled: "Then it's not too late!" I also know people from Jiaotong University! If you want to go, I can help you. ”

The scholar took a serious look, these two little girls are not very old, but they are full of luxury, and they are definitely not like ordinary people.

"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, if I fail the list, I will definitely go to Jiaotong University."

"Alright, let's wait!"

The appearance of the scholar gave a few people a reason to wait, and gradually the rankings became higher and higher, and the remaining chances were becoming more and more slim.

The scholar's face was not very good, and when the third place was posted, he shook his head helplessly.

"It looks like I'm not on the list, and I don't know if Jiaotong University can still want me! I really shouldn't have come to the exam. After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, extremely low.

Lan Xin smiled: "It's okay, this is called blessing and misfortune, maybe you can go to Jiaotong University, and you can give full play to your talents!" ”

The scholar smiled, "Borrow the girl's auspicious words." ”

At this time, three people came out of the Ministry of Rites, one more than before, and the name in his hand was also one size bigger.

Smack, the name is posted on the first place on the apricot list!

"Congratulations to Master Lin Huan, the first place in high school, Huiyuan, Fengtian Temple!"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I actually got hit, but what's the taste?" A thought surged in the scholar's heart: Imperial examination pills! Even if you pass the palace exam, what can you do?
