Lingao is a good place, but Ji Yi is reluctant to go. Moreover, Ji Yi also knew that Zhang Dian was just beating himself, and he didn't really want to go to Lingao County, Qiongzhou by himself.

"Grandfather Yue said with a smile," Ji Yi said with a smile, "When the first emperor's mountain mausoleum is finished, do you want to invite Junhaizhou?" The younger generation might as well go to Haizhou to be a judge first. ”

He doesn't want to go to the Western Regions now...... Because of Zhao Xu's death, the imperial court's external policy has changed, from expansion to contraction. Therefore, it is very likely that the newly opened Hehuang land will be given up - the cost of maintaining that land is too great, three or four million yuan a year, which poses a great threat to Shaanxi Sixth Road!

Moreover, the benefits of opening up the Hehuang-Huangtou Uighur-Xizhou Uighur trade route were certainly not as good as directly opening the Hexi Uighurs. In the case of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's entry into the court, it is entirely possible to open the Hexi Corridor.

So Ji Yi doesn't want to go to Qingtang to be a magistrate anymore...... Even if I did it, it didn't make a big difference. On the contrary, Haizhou had an opportunity to attract him. Because Haizhou has now become a concentration of degraded officials, these degraded officials may make a comeback in the future. Ji Yi has a good relationship with them, and he will have the possibility of being useful in the future.

Villain or something...... There are actually very few people who know about it, so it doesn't have a particularly big impact on his career.

"It's impossible to please the county of Haizhou." Zhang Dian smiled bitterly, "Haizhou will not be a place for new party officials to gather for a long time, and if the old man goes again, won't he continue to form a party in Haizhou?"

Old man, let's go a little farther, please go to the county! ”

If there was no previous upheaval, it would be okay for Zhang Dian to invite Junhaizhou, but now, you still have to be self-aware.

"Granduncle Yue doesn't want to go to Haizhou, but the younger generation still wants to go," Ji Yi said, "even if it's a master book." ”

Zhang Dian smiled: "Actually, Lingao is a good place to go, not only can you leave this turbulent place, but also easy to make political achievements, and you can also follow the thoughts of some people."

If you really don't want to go to Lingao, then the old man wants you to go to Hebei. ”

"To Hebei?" Ji Yi was stunned, "Hebei...... Cangzhou? ”

"I can't hide it from you!" Zhang Dian smiled, "The old man just wants you to go to Cangzhou to join the army." ”

"Do you join the army?" Ji Yi frowned and asked, "Does Ancestor Yue want the younger generation to keep an eye on the Jiehe Business Market of Wuhao Gu?" ”

Zhang Dian sneered: "Shouldn't someone be staring?" ”

"Grandfather-in-law is worried about ...... there"

Zhang Dian said: "Just keep an eye on it...... The old man's arrangement is also for your good. In the future, the official family must need someone to go to Jiehe Commercial City and Wu Haogu to contain each other, who else can go except you? That Uncle Zhang? He can't play martial arts. ”

"Grandfather-in-law Yue thinks too highly of him, right?"

"Look high?" Zhang Duan snorted, "The person who can make the "Republic Commercial Covenant" can't be overstated!" ”

"Juniors get it."

Zhang Dian seemed to be a little tired, waved his hand and said: "You go back, this time is a good time for Xinke Jinshi to make friends with You Shilin, you are Tanhua, you have to behave well, don't let people look down on it."

However, this is a time of national mourning, and we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we must not make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, if you are impeached by the imperial history, the old man will not be able to protect you.

In addition, as soon as the national funeral in early April is over, there will be a roll call outside the Donghua Gate, and there will be a parade of praise officials, and Qionglin will give a banquet, which is so lively. You go to a good life to prepare, and you have to show the momentum of a new science and technology exploration flower. ”

"Juniors get it."

……

"Da Lang, this year's new science and technology jinshi riding horses and praising officials, you can also go."

In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, was giving an errand to the Wuhao Ancient Sect who had not yet gone to Jiehe Shang City.

"I'm going too?" Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, I'm not a Jinshi, why are I going to join in the fun?" ”

"What's the fun? This is to let you know what a glorious thing it is to be a high school jinshi. Zhao Ji looked at Wu Haogu, "What?" You don't want to be a jinshi? ”

"This ......" Wu Haogu smiled, "I think I want to think about it, but the minister's article is not good, I'm afraid I won't be able to win." ”

"Your article is actually okay." Zhao Ji smiled, "Why can't you win?" Why don't you try it in the next subject? Try your luck and you might just win. ”

Not maybe, but for sure! The official Zhao Ji personally opened the back door for him, will he not be able to hit?

However, Wu Haogu thought to himself: The next subject is to take a martial arts champion, and only a middle martial champion is conducive to opening the Six Arts Academy!

"Then the minister will work hard," he paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister intends to worship a famous teacher and learn from Confucianism." ”

"Famous teacher?" Zhao Ji smiled, "It's better to worship your brother as a teacher, his article is very good." ”

"The minister wants to worship Mr. Dongpo."

"Su Dongpo?" Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile, "You will pick a master...... There are four bachelors of Sumen, and the four bachelors of Sumen are all people who have been famous for many years, so you go to be their junior disciples?

But you are also everyone, except for your Confucianism and articles, you are no worse than Sumen in other aspects, and he should be willing to accept you. ”

Su Dongpo has many disciples, but the more famous ones are ten people, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, Zhang Lei, and other four people are collectively known as the four bachelors of Sumen. The four bachelors, together with Chen Shidao and Li Diao, are known as the six gentlemen of Sumen.

Later, Su Dongpo's disciples produced four talents, including Li Gefei (Li Qingzhao's father), Liao Zhengyi, Li Xi and Dong Rong, also known as the four bachelors after Su Men.

Zhao Ji paused, and said: "But you still have to go to the roll call and horseback praise outside the Donghua Gate next month, you are bringing imperial equipment, and when the time comes, put on armor and ride on Chiyun Qi to protect Tong Guan who is on the roll call." ”

Wu Haogu's imperial equipment is not empty, but it can really bring a Xixia sword to defend Zhao Ji. However, considering his swordsmanship, he may be more dangerous than the assassin if he really goes to escort him. Zhao Ji gave him this imperial equipment, in fact, it was just to facilitate him to enter the palace.

As for Zhao Ji's dispatch to Wu Haogu, it was actually to pretend. His martial arts skills are far worse than Tong Guan's. If Tong Guan encounters robbers, can Wu Haogu still protect him? It's too late to run for your life. But who will rob the child? In his hand is a holy decree written on the list of Jinshi, what is there to grab?

……

"What's the hell? Wu Dongmen, will you protect our family next month? ”

In a side hall of the government office of the National Letter Office, Tong Guan was amused by the news brought by Wu Haogu, "When the time comes, don't fall off your horse, it will be embarrassing." ”

Wu Haogu sneered and said, "Official, don't be a soldier for three days, you should be impressed." This official is now with imperial equipment, and he will fall off if he rides a horse? Let me tell you, I can shoot arrows on my horse now. ”

"Riding and shooting?" Tong Guan looked at Wu Haogu, "Really? ”

"Really, of course it's true." Wu Haogu said, "If you don't believe it, go to the Qionglin Yuan campus tomorrow, and I'll show you." ”

Tong Guan squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Wu Haogu, nodded and said, "It seems to be a lot stronger...... Are you really practicing martial arts? ”

"Yes," Wu Hao Gu Dao, "Lin Wancheng and Brother Zhao Zhong are teaching me." ”

Of course, Wu Haogu is not bragging, he has now received the guidance of a famous teacher, and he doesn't dare to say martial arts, but he can be considered so-so in horseback archery.

That is, when the horse is archery, it cannot run, it must stand firm, and it ...... Wu Haogu also missed the target.

Uh, not very bad. The requirement that Wu Jinshi should hit the target in archery was put forward by Shao Sheng in the fourth year, and this is the first time that Wu Jinshi has implemented such a requirement in the imperial examination.

As for the horse to stand firm when riding and shooting...... That's also a matter of course, if you run up and shoot again, and you have to shoot at the target, then it is not the Wujin warrior of the Song Dynasty, but the warrior of the divination people.

Moreover, for the farming people, riding and archery is not a necessary skill for production and life, and the cost of learning is very high. There are not many Confucian scholars who can ride a horse and open a bow, and if they ask to run up and shoot at the target, I am afraid that no one will be able to pass the martial arts.

However, Wu Haogu is still confident that he can shoot a bow and arrow on the back of a running horse and hit the target!

"They're teaching you martial arts?" Tong Guan said, "That's fine." In this case, let's talk to you about the errand first.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to do, just pretend, and then just follow our family. Our family is responsible for the roll call, and you give our family a platform and open the way. In addition, the Jinshi of the official parade follow you, go to Mahang Street from Donghua Gate, turn onto Panlou Street, then go to Yujie, and finally go out of the city to Qionglin Garden. ”

"I know the road," Wu Haogu said, "I'm Bianliangzi." ”

"Also, you can't go too fast." Tong Guan said, "Although they are riding horses and boasting officials, most of those Wen Jinshi can't ride horses, and they are pulled by the soldiers of the forbidden army, so they have to walk slowly, and if they go fast, someone may fall down."

By the way, those dozens of warriors also had to participate in the horse parade, they had to ride their own horses, but there was no one to pull the reins for them. When the time comes, you have to be careful not to let them ride a horse (stallion)...... Those horses were borrowed from the forbidden army, and sometimes there would be fierce peons mixed in, and there had been incidents in the past where Wu Jinshi had fallen off his horse while riding a horse, which was really embarrassing. ”

……

"Master, why are there so many cars and horses and pedestrians on the official road here?"

"Hehe, apprentice, there is Kaifeng Mansion City in front of you, the best place in the world, naturally there are many cars, horses and pedestrians."

"Hmph, it's time for the imperial court to gather all the treasures and beauties in the world to Kaifeng Mansion, right? Otherwise, how could we be so poor in Muzhou? ”

"Muzhou is not poor, there are more poor places in the world than Muzhou."

"Yes, all the good things have been taken by the imperial court, can you not be poor?"

"Apprentice, I'm about to go to Kaifeng Mansion, don't talk nonsense."

Just when Wu Haogu, Ji Yi and others began to prepare for the Donghuamen roll call and Jinshi parade in April, on the official road east of Kaifeng Mansion, an elderly monk was leading a young man in his twenties, who was born with a tiger's back, riding horses together, chatting while walking.

Just when the tall and majestic new Caomen Tower appeared on the horizon in the distance, the young man suddenly said to himself: "I have seen Kaifeng Mansion, and I think I will soon see the Mo Holy Maiden and the boy surnamed Ji......
