"Brave? Sounds like a martial artist! ”

Wu Haowen knew that he had become an uncle on the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanfu, but he felt very strange about the name of his nephew.

The Baibo martial arts family is a scholarly family, how can he name his son "Yiyong", he is a martial artist when he hears it. It's not like going to Donghua Gate to roll up outside the Donghua Gate with this name, how can there be a "champion, Wu Yiyong"? Yes, he is also a martial champion!

"Second brother, your brother is now a military attaché," Wu Chengzhile, who had just become a grandfather, said to his son, "And his two daughters-in-law are also the daughters of the generals, so the son is naturally a martial artist." ”

"That's right." Wu Haowen nodded, thinking: The martial arts family has to rely on himself! It's just that this subject has increased dramatically, and I don't know if 'Wang Xue' is still considered Confucian authentic?

Thinking of this, Wu Haowen's brows twisted, all he could learn was Wang Anshi's version of the scriptures, which was not quite the same as the old version, if the standard changed, his Jinshi would be a little dangerous.

Wu Chengzhi knew his son's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't blindly study hard, these days you study all day long, and you don't go out, people are a lot haggard." Why don't you go to the Ewha Courtyard with your father and your mother to see your nephew today, and by the way, you can also relax. ”

"It's fine." Wu Haowen took a breath, he knew that his article was good, but his understanding of the scriptures was based on "Wang Xue", and he might make mistakes when answering the questions. However, it is less than 10 days away from Dabi, and it is too late to hold on to Buddha for a while. It's better to take the test according to "Wang Xue", with a good article, the probability of high school is still very large.

In addition, I have to discuss the direction of the policy with my brother - now that the new party has not collapsed after all, most of the scriptures and meanings of "Wang Xue" are still good to follow, but the direction of the policy question is likely to change greatly. If you don't grasp it well, you may still fail the test.

Although Wu Haogu's article is not good (in fact, it is okay, but it is not up to the level of Zhongjinshi), but the grasp of the policy is quite accurate...... He is the henchman of the official family!

Wu Haowen, who was thinking about the topic of the imperial examination, had already felt the Pear Blossom Courtyard with his parents, because Wu Hao was a father in ancient times, and there was a lot of joy in the courtyard. But there are no lanterns and firecrackers - it's a national funeral! Song Huizong is so happy, but he doesn't pretend to be sad?

After saying hello to Wu Haogu and hugging a boy who was more than seven pounds heavy, Wu Haowen pulled his brother into the study without waiting for the meal to start - he knew that his brother was a little greedy, but don't get drunk and don't know anything. So if there's anything you have, ask before you start the table.

"Ask?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "I definitely won't ask about the war...... Even if Emperor Daxing hadn't died, there would have been no such problem. Because Song Liao is now a state of brothers. ”

"Brotherly land?" Wu Haowen was stunned for a moment, "Really fake?" ”

"Of course it's true," Wu Haogu smiled, "Will the foolish brother still lie to you?" ”

"So the imperial court won't go north to Yanyun?" Wu Haowen asked again.

"The Northern Expedition Yanyun didn't blow it with his mouth," Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The imperial examination will not take such a question...... The general direction of this year's policy should be the harmony and trade between Song and Liao, or the harmony between the old and the new in the imperial court. ”

"How do you write Song Liao Tongshang?" Wu Haowen asked.

He knows the harmony between the old and the new, and it is not difficult for him to write a good pen, but the problem of Song Liao's trade and harmony is difficult to solve, and he does not know how to do business.

Wu Haogu smiled: "I don't know how to write it."

I only know that Liaoguo is a big cage that pays attention to tigers and wolves, but now the country is unstable, and there are signs of falling apart. And our dynasty regards Liao as a friendly country, first, in order to delay the collapse of this cage; The second is to unite the Khitans and the Han people of the Liao State when the cage collapses, and build a high wall in Yanyun that can prevent tigers and wolves. ”

"Big brother, do you mean that the Liao Kingdom will definitely collapse?"

"Yes," Wu Haogu smiled, "There is not only one Khitan tiger in the country of tigers and wolves, originally the Khitan is the most ferocious tiger, the king of beasts, enough to deter the beasts." However, more than 100 years of comfort and peace have made the Khitan tigers lose their ferocity. The other beasts in the herd will naturally keep jumping out to challenge the beast king, and it is only a matter of time before the Khitan, the king of beasts, falls. And once the Liao Kingdom is taken by the fierce beast, there will be no peaceful life to live in our dynasty. ”

"Then our dynasty can't help the Khitan so that it can maintain the Liao country?"

Wu Haogu asked rhetorically: "How can I help?" ”

"Give more coins?"

"Do you think the Khitans are weakened because they don't have money?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Or do you think that the country of Divination and Female Straight is richer than the Khitans?" ”

"Only when a country is rich can a soldier be strong?"

Wu Haogu snorted and laughed: "If this is the case, there will be no Liao Kingdom for a long time, and there will be no Western Xia for a long time!" The wealth of my Great Song Dynasty is at least ten times that of Liao and a hundred times that of Xia. Why didn't the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia perish so far?

In the same way, the Khitan is also ten or a hundred times richer than Zhubu and Nuzhi, but the Khitan is now powerless to suppress these two countries. ”

Wu Haowen frowned deeply, and he didn't know how to refute his brother. But he already knew how to write the splendid article! If this Dabi's strategy really involves Song Liao harmony, then he can probably make a splash.

Thinking of this, Wu Haowen stood up and respectfully saluted his brother, "Haowen thanks my brother for his guidance." ”

……

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the tenth day of the second month of the third year of Yuanfu has arrived.

This is the day when the imperial examination begins, also known as the day of the entrance examination. Unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, which divided the imperial examination into three days, the Song Dynasty's ritual examination ended within one day. In one day, there are four consecutive exams, which are the First Classic (also known as the Great Classic), the Simultaneous Classic, the Treatise and the Current Affairs.

Four exams in a day, it is definitely a test of the physical strength of the lifter - but the physical strength test is also necessary, after all, being an official is still quite tiring, and it is really impossible to pass the exam in the seventy or eighty years, so it is better to go home and rest and don't come to the field to toss.

Because the time for the exam is very tight, the time for the Rite Department exam starts very early. In order not to delay the start of the exam, the four martial artists from Baibo, Luoyang, moved into the martial arts mansion located in the west city of Kaifeng Mansion on the ninth day of the second lunar month.

The next day, I got up as soon as the third watch (0:00 in the morning), washed up, and had breakfast with the three of the martial arts father and son.

Wu Haogu also entered the city the afternoon before, although he did not participate in the imperial examination, but he still came with his father to cheer for his younger brother, and by the way, he was also familiar with the environment - he didn't take this subject, he still had to take the next subject, even if he didn't take the liberal arts examination, he had to get a martial artist.

Wu Jinshi is also a Jinshi! With the name of Jinshi, his Six Arts Academy can be loud.

Because of the addition of Wu Haogu, the team of the martial arts family to rush to the exam has become huge. Wu Haogu is now a hot official henchman! Naturally, there should be a little more entourage in and out. Today, it was Lin Chong who led four eleven or twelve-year-old slave soldiers to open the way. Lin Chong raised a tall walking horse, and the four little slaves each lit a lantern to illuminate the chariots and horses that followed.

Wu Haogu also rode a horse and walked behind Lin Chong. His equestrian skills have improved so fast that he can now gallop on horseback. And Wu Haowen, Wu Chengzhi and the other four people of the Wu family rushed to the examination room in a carriage. None of them can ride horses, so don't fall off their horses and get into the exam room in the dark, it's a joke.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, hmm-cough......"

Fan Zhijin had already arrived outside the gate of the Guozi Prison in the south chamber of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, because the weather was very cold, he inhaled the cold wind again, his throat was itchy all the time, and he coughed loudly.

"Brother Jin, are you okay?" Like Fan Zhijin, Huang Qianshan, who got up early in the morning, asked with concern on the side. There were several other people who also lived in Daxiangguo Temple, and they also cast concerned eyes.

After changing the official family, Fan Zhijin's good popularity continues, and it has risen.

He's a daimyo now! He is a fellow villager of the Empress Dowager Xiang, and the next prime minister, Han Zhongyan, personally sent someone to the Daimyo Mansion of Kaifeng Mansion Xie Yuan!

There are these two layers of relationship, as long as he can pass the Ministry of Rites exam, his ranking in the palace exam will not be bad.

And...... He can also claim to be Han Zhongyan's protégé - Han Zhongyan is the main examiner of the Daimyo Mansion's examination, and at the same time he has been kind to him. Therefore, as long as Fan Zhijin can go to high school, he will be a protégé of the Han family in the future!

As soon as Fan Zhijin thought that he could use Han Zhongyan's majesty to rectify Wu Haogu in the future (he didn't know whether Wu Haogu was an official henchman or Han Zhongyan's son-in-law's brother), he immediately became a lot more energetic, and smiled at Huang Qianshan: "It's okay, today is the day when you and I show off what we have learned, how can there be anything?" ”

When Fan Zhijin spoke, not far away, a pair of angry eyes were really staring at him, and the person who looked at him was Fan Zhiwen of the Fan family in Yanggu, a talented man of the same generation as Fan Zhijin.

Fan Zhijin resented Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing, but Fan Zhiwen hated his cousin who caused trouble and voted for Liangshan.

If it weren't for Fan Zhijin to cause trouble, Yanggu Yimen Fan would be fine now!

This Fan Zhijin, who was a thief, actually came to Kaifeng Mansion under a false name and tried it out...... Fan Zhiwen gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Zhijin, who was surrounded by the stars and the moon, and his anger was not very good. He didn't know how to go to the yamen to explain the matter of the thief!

However, he is angry, he will not expose Fan Zhijin now, he is also here to take the imperial examination, only if he wins, can he save the trend of the decline of the Fan family in Yanggu.

Now the Yanggu Fan family is a family, and he is the only one who can be counted on!
