Chapter 1 Wedges

Next Chapter

Love to fight to win, Zhen Qian, who has worked hard for ten years, has returned to the starting point from the starting point, no one can say the sadness in his heart, just like Nan Ke's dream, there is prosperity and decline, there is prosperity and confusion, and the scenes are like movies flowing slowly in memory, and the joys and sorrows are indescribable.

A rainstorm during the day makes the whole city become intoxicating, the washed air is so fresh, the haze over the city turns into a bright starry sky, a bright moon hangs in the sky, the bright Milky Way stars are like colorful gems dotted on the black silk curtain to cover all directions, and the lights of thousands of homes reflect each other and compete with the stars.

The flickering neon lights looked so dazzling, and the little green in the middle of the city seemed so lonely and distant.

The sun set below the horizon, a heart fell to the bottom, and after the red sun was all engulfed in darkness, the time of the day was crossed off the calendar, and the last sip of wine was poured into his mouth.

Night and day alternate, those hidden starlight finally jumped out, as the sun slowly set more dazzling, they are like the naughty elves in the night, so far away, but as if you can reach out and touch, each one is as powerful as the sun.

The night was so powerful that it eventually unstoppably obscured the earth, so the stars appeared, densely filled the night sky, winking mischievously at everyone who paid attention to it, and as the earth slowly rotated, when the last brightest star in the sky fell, infinite sadness welled up in the heart.

It is not only the sun that shines, but the stars that are a hundred or a thousand times brighter than the sun hide in the night, but they all shine like the sun, releasing a huge amount of energy to the planets, whether they want to or not.

There is nothing to complain about, success or defeat is an eternal law in the workplace, and this has never been complained.

Even if they know this, there are still some people who are too hasty, thinking about one step to the sky but falling into the abyss,...... After living for so many years, I found that what I lost is always more than what I lost, and the bitterness in life is greater than the sourness, and even such a beautiful star has been quietly appreciated by a few people.

It's time to be quiet...... The noisy city and the impetuous heart can be calmed down!

The information of the stars is cold, and it only arrived on Earth after crossing tens of millions of light years, and what we see on the earth is only the afterimage of thousands of years ago, just like the reflection in the long river of history, inadvertently leaving a bright color on the picture scroll of time and space.

No one can resist the cold starlight coming into view, just like the cold reality remains in the memory and cannot be erased, God knows that day will suddenly remember.

After drinking the wine and enjoying the beautiful scenery, it is time to face reality.......

Just yesterday afternoon, a sudden financial fraud turned the 30 million that had been saved up into nothing, and hundreds of millions of investments turned into ashes, and years of hard work disappeared within a few minutes.

It's fake to feel sorry when the money is gone, but no one can take away the experience of many years, or you will be able to come out of the shadow of failure in three or five years.

Countless experiences tell everyone that everything in the world has always come into existence from nothing, and then from existence to nothing, just as the newborn life grows day by day and dies day by day, there are not many things that can really remain in the world.

Whether it is Wuding Cooking or Wanhu Hou, it is no longer important, it is no longer important if it exists, and it is also irretrievable!

Memories are always the smell of rotten coffins......

People prefer new things, and the old does not go to the new and does not come...... A new life is always beautiful, whether it is a new dress or a new house, from the newborn to the bride's ......, the pursuit of new never stops.

A meteor flashed from the starry sky, with its brilliant light falling in the eyes, I don't know how many hardships and hardships have been experienced, bringing hope at the same time, but also taking away good wishes!

It's a pity that it was too short and disappeared.

When all his thoughts were over, Zhen Qian staggered to his feet, not gaining or losing, but starting all over again.

"Magsby @#¥%......"

Cursing the person who threw the garbage on the tower, but forgetting that it was the wine bottle he had drunk, his body rushed out, and a wandering light finally came into view, very warm, like a baby thrown into the arms of his mother, lovers in love hugged together, saw long-lost relatives, with the help of the power of that light, through time and space ......!

Many things happened in the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers asked for Xiyue, but it didn't take long for the drought in Guanzhong and Huayuezi to suffer, but the eyes of the court focused on Yang Guifei's resentment and was sent back to the private house.

This year, An Lushan gave An Lushan Dongping County Wangjue, and Hebei Province interview and disposal envoy, also in October of this year, Hengzhou Zhending talent went to Beijing to catch the exam, the following year in January to take the examination in arithmetic, Ming Jing two subjects, the news was transmitted back to Zhending, Zhen Mansion up and down the feast for three days, the gentry and neighbors rushed to visit to congratulate.

Zhen Qian was stranded in the capital for more than three months, and after the Ministry of Rites passed the examination and set the ranking, he was sent to the Zhongshu Sect for a detailed reply, and the list was released after the book was made, so as to prevent unfair admission.

There were many subjects in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, mainly including Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and arithmetic. Among them, the subjects of Ming Law, arithmetic, and Ming characters are not taken seriously. Junshi and other subjects are not held often, and Xiucai is a subject, which was very demanding in the early Tang Dynasty, and later gradually abandoned. Therefore, the two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi became the main subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system mostly followed the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty, and the imperial examination was the beginning of the Sui Dynasty.

After Tang Gaozong, Jinshike was especially important to the people. Many of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were mostly Jinshi backgrounds. There are two sources for candidates in the regular course, one is a student and the other is a village tribute. Born from the Jingshi and the state and county schools, and sent to Shangshu Province, the subjects are called apprentices; Those who do not pass the state and county examinations by the school hall first, and then send them to Shangshu Province to take the examination are called Xianggong. Those who enter Beijing from the township tribute are generally called lifters. The state and county examinations are called the Jiekao, and the examinations in Shangshu Province are commonly known as the provincial examinations, or the Ministry of Rites examinations. The Ministry of Rites Examination is held in the spring, so it is also called Chunqiu, which is also the meaning of the examination room. The two subjects of Ming Jing and Jinshi were originally just trial strategies, and the content of the examination was Jingyi or current affairs.

Although the subjects of the two examinations have changed later, the basic spirit is that Jinshi emphasizes poetry, and Mingjing emphasizes scripture and Moyi. The so-called scripture is to open a page of the scriptures, cover the left and right sides, only open a line in the middle, and then cover the three characters with paper stickers, so that the test can be filled. Moyi is a simple written test of the words of the scriptures. As long as you are familiar with the scriptures and commentaries, you can pass the test, and the poetry needs to have literary talent.

It is very difficult to get the first Jinshi, so there is a saying in Datang that "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi".

Zhen Qian's examination was in the two subjects of Ming Arithmetic and Ming Classic, which was not very difficult, and it was normal for high school in the second and ninth grades. However, the Zhen Mansion does not attach importance to the Ming Classics, but to the inconspicuous Ming Arithmetic Department, and the reason for this naturally starts from the ancestors.

In history, the Zhen family produced a lot of celebrities, such as the famous doctors Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan in the Tang Dynasty, and the mathematician Zhen Luan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

This time, Zhen Qianneng was able to count the subjects in high school, and he could be regarded as inheriting the mantle of his ancestors, how could the Zhen Mansion not be happy.

In March of the same year, he was awarded nine grades and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

When Zhen Fu heard that Zhen Qian had returned to his hometown, bad news suddenly came when the lights were shining!

"Oh no...... Something big happened, Zhen Dalang was frightened at the city gate! ”

When the news came, the whole clan was shocked, and the matter soon came to light, a woman of the Meng family stopped in front of Zhen Qian's horse at the gate of the city, causing Zhen Qian's horse to be frightened and out of control and fell unconscious, and the Zhen government tied the Meng family girl to the county government hall for trial.

"Ming Mansion! The little people are wronged! ”

Under the plaque of the county government's "Zhengda Guangming", a middle-aged man wearing an official mansion fell with a shocking drop in his hand, "Stop! Diao Min was selling goods at the gate of the city, causing Zhen Dalang to be seriously injured, what grievances do you have! Come...... The noisy people in the hall beat the 30 kills! ”

"The little people are wronged!"

The two officials pressed an old man under the hall to the ground, and said with a cold expression on his face: "If there is an injustice, let's fight thirty kills first!" ”

Seeing that the old man was old, the servants were merciful, but after the thirty killings, the old man was already in tears, his buttocks were blurred, and his hoarse voice sounded again: "Ming Mansion, although the little girl of the Meng family let the eldest man of the Zhen family be frightened and fall off the horse, but at that time there was a crowd of people at the city gate, it was not the fault of the little girl of the Meng family, and I hope that the Ming Mansion will investigate it in detail!" ”

The county magistrate snorted coldly, no longer ignoring the old man's pale argument, but asked the famous doctor who treated Zhen Qian on the side: "Doctor Li, how is Zhen Dalang's condition now?" ”

Dr. Li, who was wearing regular clothes on the side, shook his head and said: "Zhen Dalang's injuries are not serious, and he can be healed after a month of rest, but unfortunately he fell from a horse and injured his head, he was delirious, and he said some incomprehensible words in his mouth...... It's hard! ”

The county magistrate also shook his head regretfully, Zhen Qiancai is considered to be the best in Hengzhou, and the first subject of arithmetic is quite an ancestral style, I didn't expect such a talent to fall crazy, even if he is cured and recovered in the end, most of them will not be able to be an official, and then thinking of the Zhen family's step-by-step approach, I can't help but have a headache.

"Meng Laohan, can you hear what you said just now, you shouted injustice in your mouth, if this official sentences you now, you must not accept it, then you will identify the other perpetrators at the scene, and this official can judge the case impartially!"

Isn't this embarrassing for Meng Laohan? Meng Laohan was dumbfounded, where to find out the other perpetrators, sighed and closed his eyes.

Seeing that Meng Laohan had nothing to say in the hall, the county order also asked again, and he was shocked and shouted: "This official announced the verdict, the evidence of Meng Xiaoya's case of causing Zhen Qian to be frightened and fall from a horse is conclusive, as for the Zhen Mansion's request for the Meng family to sell himself to the crime, it is not easy for the official to accept it, and it is not easy for the official to accept it, and Meng Xiaoya was sentenced to negligence and injury, and sent to Zhen Mansion to serve Zhen Qian's concubine for life, and serve Zhen Qian for life, and the people in the hall can have opinions!" ”

When the people of the Zhen Mansion heard that this was the result, it was too cheap for the Meng family, could a Meng Xiaoya be exchanged for a Zhen Qian? Even if the Meng family is guilty, it can't make up for the loss of the Zhen family.

"Mingfu is unfair! How can a Meng Xiaoya resist the loss of the Zhen family! ”

Meng Laohan was unwilling to let Meng Xiaoya be sent to Zhen's mansion as a concubine, or to serve a crazy Zhen Qian, didn't this push Meng Xiaoya into the fire pit?

But this is already the best result, sacrificing a Meng Xiaoya and preserving the Meng family, Meng Laohan can only endure it.

"Zhen Qian's fall from the horse was caused by Meng Xiaoya, but it is excusable, isn't it, Meng Xiaoya did it intentionally, if the official is not satisfied with the verdict, he can go to the state capital and retire!"

Although the people of the Zhen Mansion were unconvinced, they were helpless, the incident happened too strangely, and no one saw it at the scene, but they just caught Meng Xiaoya, who was also stunned at the scene, to plead guilty, how much of a crime can a weak woman have, and the verdict of the county order can be regarded as impartial, if it is replaced by ordinary people to compensate a little money at most, this matter is already biased in favor of the Zhen family, if it really makes trouble in the state capital, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the Zhen family, and the matter will be over.
