Early the next morning, a series of major news made the already unquiet Luoyang City even more lively, Yu Wenhua and led the army to conduct a night search in Luoyang City, and arrested dozens of unidentified people from several inns and wine shops.

Some people say that they are undercover agents of the bandits, others say that they are spies of the Bohai Society, and there are various theories.

But soon, there was a new news that Yuan Min, the former general, committed suicide by drawing his sword in front of the mansion, Yuan Min was a descendant of the Northern Wei royal family, the head of the Yuan family, and the core figure of the Guanlong aristocracy, and his suicide undoubtedly had a significant impact on the situation of the Guanlong nobles and the Great Sui, and various speculations surfaced.

In particular, the person who coerced him to commit suicide is still Yu Wenhua, which makes people connect the two things, is there an intrinsic connection between the night search and Yuan Min's suicide?

But another unexpected effect is that Yu Wenhua, who appeared twice, turned out to be a celebrity in Luoyang, and at some point, Yu Wenhua has been widely spread in Luoyang as a swinger.

Now he has turned into General Yuwen, leading troops to kill the general Yuan Min, it is incredible, is it the prodigal son who turned back, there are different opinions for a while, but the real insiders understand that I am afraid that the time for Yuwen to say is running out.

However, with the official release of the imperial examination at noon, the focus of public opinion in Luoyang City quickly shifted, and Yuan Min and Yu Wenhua were quickly thrown aside, and the imperial examination list grabbed everyone's attention with a bright halo, and there were continuous cheers in the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

The list of 2,000 people was plastered all over the outer wall of the Guozi Prison, and tens of thousands of scholars crowded the wall, desperately looking for their names with their eyes wide open.

It is located in the Wenqu Restaurant in Nanshi. It was full of scholars who came to celebrate the list, upstairs and downstairs were staggered, and there were bursts of laughter.

In a private room on the third floor, more than a dozen children of the Hebei Shi clan gathered together to drink and drink, and Cui Wenxiang, the leader, was quite excited, he did not do well in the exam. But this year's expansion saved his life, making him finally on the list within 2,000.

There were several other children of the Hebei Shi clan who were on the list with him, although most of the dozen or so people in the room were not on the list, it did not affect them to celebrate Cui Wenxiang.

"Little brother toasts you!"

Bai Xinyang raised his glass and smiled: "I wish Brother Wenxiang that after the gold list is in high school, the next step is to hide Jiao in the golden house!" ”

Everyone laughed together, everyone knew that Cui Wenxiang was desperately pursuing Lu Qing, the daughter of Lu Zuo, who was recognized as the first beauty of the Hebei family, and everyone clamored, "Lang is talented and beautiful." God-given good fate, Wenxiang should hurry up, but don't miss the opportunity. ”

Cui Wenxiang was so excited that his eyes narrowed, and he raised his glass and drank it all, although he pursued Lu Qing because Lu Qing was beautiful, but more importantly, he wanted to seek the position of the heir of the Cui family, and the marriage with the daughter of the Lu family would become a powerful weight for him to impact the heir of the head of the family.

"Thank you for your love. Wenxiang will not disappoint everyone, and embrace the beauty as soon as possible! ”

Everyone laughed together. At this time, Cui Wenxiang glanced at it, and saw that Li Qingming was smiling a little reluctantly, and he suddenly remembered that Li Qingming had said, 'Cui's talent does not lie in the concubine', which was clearly ridiculing himself for being talentless.

Cui Wenxiang raised his eyebrows. smiled at Li Qingming: "This time Qingming unfortunately fell off the list, in fact, I am also very sad, but I hope Qingming will not be discouraged and come back next year!" ”

Li Qingming smiled and said, "To be honest, although the scholars have been elated in the past two days. I'm afraid that in a few days, many people will be crying. ”

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and they all asked, "Qingming, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qingming picked up the wine glass and said unhurriedly: "It's very simple, it's too easy to be on the list, it's difficult to be an official, two thousand people are on the list, can the court get the position of two thousand people?" ”

Cui Wenxiang shook his head, "Qingming's words are bad, I heard that the reason why the Holy Lord decided to expand the list tenfold this time is mainly to enrich the local government and facilitate the imperial court to control the place, there are more than 1,000 counties in the world, and there are two people in one county, and two thousand people are not much." ”

Li Qingming sighed softly, "Wenxiang thinks things too simply, don't talk about it far away, let's talk about our Hebei!" Is Qinghe County Wenxiang willing to go? There are also Bohai County, Hejian County, Xindu County, Pingyuan County, and Shanggu County, there are many positions in these counties, let Brother Wen Xiang go to be the county commander, is Wen Xiang willing to go? ”

Everyone was silent, the places Li Qingming said were all controlled by bandits, Dou Jiande, Gao Shida, Ge Qian, Lu Mingyue, Wei Dao'er and other bandit leaders, they were the rulers of these counties, and the officials appointed by the imperial court either fled, were killed, or surrendered.

Cui Wenxiang's face changed several times, and he said coldly: "With the status of the Boling Cui clan, I, Cui Wenxiang, will not be reduced to this point!" ”

Li Qingming smiled, "Of course I'm not talking about Brother Wen Xiang, I'm just saying that two thousand people are on the list, and the imperial court can't take so many positions at all, and when the time comes, there will be more monks and less porridge, and it will be another fierce competition, of course, with Brother Wen Xiang's father's status and family background, this kind of trivial matter doesn't need to be considered at all, but it will be difficult to say about the children of the poor family." ”

Cui Wenxiang's face became more and more ugly, he still felt that Li Qingming was ridiculing his father's family background, at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and he saw Lu Qingyuan hurriedly walked in, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”

Lu Qingyuan's arrival immediately eased the awkward atmosphere in the room, and Cui Wenxiang hurriedly gave up his seat next to him and greeted: "Qingyuan, sit here with me!" ”

Cui Wenxiang is a very realistic person, since he is pursuing Lu Qing, how can Lu Qingyuan, the future brother-in-law, not be well encircled.

Moreover, Lu Qingyuan's news is relatively well-informed, and some important news can be heard from him, so Cui Wenxiang is extremely enthusiastic about Lu Qingyuan's aunt and cousin.

Lu Qingyuan took off his robe and sat down, Cui Wenxiang poured him a glass of wine and asked with a smile, "Is there any news for us?" ”

Everyone pricked up their ears, and Lu Qingyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "News!" It's a little bit, but I guess everyone knows about it, so I don't want to say more. ”

"Qingyuan, don't sell Guanzi, speak up and listen!" Everyone laughed and urged.

"Alright! Then I'll tell you about it. ”

Lu Qingyuan lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Officials is very dissatisfied with this expansion of admissions, but because it is the Holy Will, I can only dare to be angry and dare not speak. ”

"An adult!"

Everyone exclaimed, isn't it only 200 people who can arrange official positions? What about the other 1,800 people?

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Everyone, this is just gossip, you can't take it seriously, don't spread it, or I can't afford to be guilty." ”

Having said that, but everyone's hearts are still heavy, Li Qingming also said before, the imperial court can't get so many official positions, although I know that it is impossible to solve them all, but I can't imagine that I can only solve one percent of the winners, this is really shocking, since you can't solve it, why do you want to admit so many people?

Cui Wenxiang is not in a hurry, he is the son-in-law of the Boling Cui family, and his father is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, even if there are fewer official positions in the placement, he will have his share, at this time he is more concerned about Lu Zhuo's attitude towards himself, which is directly related to whether his courtship can be successful.

"Qingyuan, is my uncle at home these two days?" Cui Wenxiang asked with a casual smile.

"Unfortunately, my father went to Chang'an yesterday to inspect Taixue, and then he will go to Chengdu, I'm afraid he won't be at home for a month."

"Oh!"

Cui Wenxiang nodded with a smile, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on!" I salute a cup. ”

Cui Wenxiang came to Lufu in the afternoon, he brought a dozen fine lake silk brocades and a pair of superb Yuezhou celadon vases, he knew very well the preferences of his aunt and uncle, who liked good lake silk and uncle who liked to collect porcelain.

Cui Wenxiang only waited in the inner hall for a moment, and Mrs. Lu Cui walked into the inner hall surrounded by several maids, Cui Wenxiang hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Little nephew Wenxiang gives a gift to my aunt!" ”

Mrs. Lu likes this nephew very much and wants to marry her daughter to him, although her daughter is not very willing, but her daughter's attitude is not important, the key is that her husband does not petition Cui Lu and the two families to marry, which makes Mrs. Lu very depressed these days.

Seeing that her nephew was polite, she couldn't help but smile and said, "How did you do in the imperial examination?" ”

"Back to my aunt, the little nephew's high school gold list did not disappoint my aunt."

"Very well, it didn't disappoint me."

Cui Wenxiang hurriedly opened the lid of the gift box and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of the little nephew's filial piety to his aunt and uncle, please don't dislike it." ”

"How could my aunt dislike my nephew's gift to me?"

Mrs. Lu stepped forward to take a look, she was very satisfied, it was not the gift itself, but Cui Wenxiang's filial piety, of course she also knew what her nephew wanted, so she smiled: "Sit down!" Tell you about your cousin. (To be continued......)
