On April 13 of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty and Yuan Fu, outside the Donghua Gate of the Imperial City of Kaifeng Mansion, there were crowds of people.

From Donghua Gate to Mahang Street, then to Panlou Street, Yu Street, Bianhe Street, and then to the east out of Liangmen and Wansheng Gate, there are many people along the way. At the high places along the street, or restaurants or pavilions or private houses, all the windows and doors of the street are also the officials and people of Kaifeng Mansion, looking forward to it. Among them, there are many little ladies who have been carefully dressed up, and they are shy to probe their brains.

The ubiquitous vendors in Kaifeng Mansion also came, carrying baskets and carrying burdens, selling food and all kinds of sweet soups and all kinds of things along the way.

Other vendors were carrying a pile of books for sale, selling a miscellaneous book called "Wenqu Xing", on which were painted portraits of the Jinshi who were about to march on horseback, and printed with the inscriptions of their splendid articles.

Today is a good day for the roll call outside the Donghua Gate of the new science and technology jinshi! Who doesn't want to see with their own eyes what such heroes and good men of the Great Song Dynasty look like? Who wouldn't want to catch a glimpse of their splendid articles?

Besides, this miscellaneous book of "Wenqu Xing" is not very expensive, but it is only eighty copper coins. For people outside Kaifeng, it may be a sum of money. But for the people of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is the best place in the world and whose income may be the highest in the world, it is not very good at all.

Besides, the people who will pay for this book are not bitter and haha lifu or idle people who don't have serious errands - they don't know how to read, how can they know how good Jinshi's article is? For them, this book is not as good as the "Oiran" album!

Those who can buy "Wenqu Xing" are wealthy citizens who have a few spare money at home and can let their sons or study on their own. What is 80 dollars worth to them?

So after a while, at least one-third of the people along the way had a copy of the inaugural issue of "Wenqu Xing" in their hands.

Many people flipped through it on the spot, and when they saw the exquisite article, they couldn't help but shake their heads and read it, and a few even clapped their hands loudly, as if they could really see what was good.

Kaifeng Mansion, Imperial City Division, and Sanya Forbidden Army have also dispatched a lot of people to be on duty today. The forbidden army stood facing the street, keeping the crowd of people behind them, so as to clear a narrow walkway, so that the Jinshi Gong who came out of the Donghua Gate could ride their horses and pass through it.

And at Donghua Gate, the most exciting moment is coming soon. The loud-voiced eunuch Tong Guan had already put on the scarlet official mansion (he was not that big, just to look good), put on a mink, held a scroll in his hand, and stood on a makeshift wooden platform, waiting for the auspicious time to come, and he called his name loudly.

The so-called roll call outside the Donghua Gate refers to this!

561 Wen Jinshi, as well as dozens of Wu Jinshi, their names, places of origin, year Jia, and the rankings obtained in the examination must be sung aloud by Tong Guan.

At the end of the roll call, the Jinshi riding a tall horse, under the guidance of Tong Guan and Wu Haogu, came out of the Donghua Gate, paraded through the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, and then went to Qionglin Yuan outside the city to eat.

At this time, Wu Haogu had already put on his black lacquer near the water mountain armor, and was checking the gender of the horse with his head down...... Well, it's time to see if there's a "baby"!

Not every horse has to be seen, only a few dozen horses for the Wujinshi to ride. At this time, those warriors were already wearing bright red clothes, wearing hoods, and flowers behind their ears, and standing next to their respective horses with joy.

Wu Jinshi is also a Jinshi! Although it is not as noble as Wen Jinshi, it is not as strong as it, is it?

However, it is not easy to be a martial artist, and the Yanggu Ximen family has long wanted to hold a martial artist out, but unfortunately it has not succeeded for many years. This year was also a failure...... It's not that the people of the Simon family are not good at martial arts, the women of their family are all able to ride on a running horse and shoot a bow and arrow, and they can also shoot at the target, not to mention the men who go to the martial arts exam? They are all well-known heroes in the rivers and lakes.

But the hero's articles are generally not hot, although I have read all seven books on the art of war, but I can't write that kind of strategy on the art of war.

The theory of the art of war is not easy to write!

For example, the title of the "Theory of the Art of War" in this section is on the application of the three types of "square, circle, and sharp" formations created by Han Qi in actual combat...... Can this thing really be used in real combat?

Uh, don't say that those warriors of the Ximen family can't do this topic, you just let Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin be resurrected from the Yongchang Mausoleum to take the test, and you must also be on the list.

If Han Qi's formation map worked, Li Yuanhao would have been killed a long time ago, where would there be two Empress Dowager Liang?

However, whoever wants to write this formation diagram is not good, and he will definitely not be able to pass the test. Not only do you have to write a formation diagram, but you also have to blow out the flowers. In fact, it is still spelling writing, which is not much different from the liberal arts examination. Therefore, those who can be admitted are not serious samurai, but those children of rich families and official families who cannot be admitted to the above examples.

Poor and rich! Only the children of rich families and official families can spend money to practice archery on archery and horses, and then use a brilliant pen to tout Han Qi's formation diagram and get a martial artist.

As for the Wu Jinshi, of course, he will not really lead the troops, but will do civilian positions as a military officer, and usually give a trial title county lieutenant to catch thieves - they can catch a few thieves, much better than Wu Zhongyi's old man.

In fact, Wu Jinshi was also an official back door opened for the children of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, when Wu Haogu "Chama", he also met several acquaintances, all of whom were children of the generals of Kaifeng Mansion. There is a nephew who is still Pan Qiaolian, and he greeted Wu Haogu politely.

By the way, although the Song Dynasty was divided into civil and military, and emphasized literature and light on martial arts, but the scholars of the Song Dynasty were still quite able to speak soldiers, and almost everyone was familiar with the seven books of the art of war, except for the "strategic" formation map hidden by the Privy Council (the formation map is also a treasure, Zhao Guangyi's "Pingrong Wanquan Formation" is the important weapon of the country, and it is not given to a certain level), ordinary formations They are also familiar with them, and some of them can also draw formation diagrams. The art of war and strategy that I wrote are all of a high level!

After checking the horse, when he returned to the Donghua Gate, at the front of the Jinshi team, Tong Guan had already begun to roll call, and a full voice came.

"First place, first place, champion, Li Cao......"

Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at the champion duke, a Confucian in his twenties, full of bookish spirit, standing next to a tall walking horse in high spirits. Leading his horse was a miscellaneous military minister of the forbidden army, who looked quite capable.

"First and second place, list, Fan Zhiming......"

"First and third place, Tanhua, Ji Yi ......"

Tong Guan had already sung Ji Yi's name, and Wu Haogu also set his eyes on it, Ji Yi was already on horseback, and no one led the horse for him.

Ji Yi is a Confucian who can ride a horse, and he can also sit on the back of a horse and put a few arrows (of course the horse can't run), although he can't shoot the target, but he is also skilled in arching horses among today's Great Song literati. Therefore, he doesn't need the military ministers of the forbidden army to lead the horse for him, he can control the horse himself. But judging by his riding posture and his nervous appearance, the horse's kung fu is not very good.

Wu Haogu set his sights on his younger brother Wu Haowen again, he was not good at riding a horse, so Wu Haogu picked a particularly well-behaved little mare from home for him to ride, and let Lin Wanchen lead him, it would definitely be fine.

Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, also came to see the excitement at this time, but he did not make a big fanfare, but stood on the Donghua Tower and looked down in civilian clothes and Gao Yu and Yang Jian with imperial equipment.

The three-month national mourning has passed, and from today onwards, the entire Kaifeng Mansion City can once again become a prosperous city that never sleeps. The people who stood outside the Donghua Gate and watched the excitement also arranged flowers on their heads, and they looked at a sea of flowers from afar. It's so good-looking!

It's a pity that Zhao Ji can't go out of the palace to go deep into the masses now...... It would be nice if the Qionglin Palace in the west of the city could be built as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Daguan Tong has finished singing, it's time for the Jinshi to go."

Gao Yu's voice sounded in Zhao Ji's ears.

Below the city gate, a band that had been ready for a long time had already begun to play. More than 600 jinshi who were originally standing next to the horses also got on their horses, and some of them went up by themselves, but most of them were supported by others......

Ji Yi has been riding on horseback for a long time, he is Tanhualang, and in front of him are Zhuangyuan, Jinshi, and Wu Haogu and Tong Guan, who opened the way. Seeing that they all got on their horses and moved forward, Ji Yi, who had been waiting a little impatiently, also carefully controlled the horse to move forward, and soon went out of Donghua Gate.

Outside the Donghua Gate, there was a sea of people and flowers, and in my ears was the music of celebration, a feeling of pride in life, which immediately surged into the hearts of Ji Daguan and more than 600 other civil and military scholars.

And the depressed feeling that lingered in Ji Yi's heart before has now been swept away.

Although he didn't become a confidant of the official family, he was a jinshi! It's still Tanhualang! Such a background is incomparable to the likes of Wu Haogu.

Look at the people cheering in the streets and alleys in front of you, all of them are cheering for Jinshi like their own!

Hey! Isn't that the ink lady? Ji Yi, who was riding on a horse and was proud, suddenly saw that Mo Niangzi was also in the cheering crowd outside the Donghua Gate. He thought to himself: Mo Niangzi also came to see me, right? This saint has always been interesting to me, but she is embarrassed to say it...... But why is there a monk standing next to her? This monk seems to be the Holy Father of Manichaeism!

Why did he come to Kaifeng Mansion? Why are you still with Mo Niangzi?

What do they want to do? Do the two branches of Mingjiao want to merge? The Holy Father's line is a misconceived ......

When Grand Official Ji was taken aback, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears: "Grand Official Ji, do you still recognize Fang Thirteen?" ”

Ji Yi was startled by this roar, and subconsciously tugged on the reins, but the horse under his crotch neighed, raised his front hooves, and stood up with his two hind legs.

This time, Xiao Ji Tanhua, who was skilled in the bow horse, was not good enough, and he immediately fell off the horse.

Ji Yi is down!
