Wang Ju said that it was a little difficult, that refers to a very high ranking, after all, it is not counted as winning the provincial examination, and you must pass the guò palace examination, unless Wang Ju wants to take the exam until he is fifty years old. But there is one thing, if Wang Ju can be ranked in the top ten, the palace test will definitely be successful, otherwise it will be passed out, and the world will be in an uproar, in order to take care of it, even if the palace test is not good, this person must be ranked among the top three.

Being able to take the provincial test, Wang Ju was not very sure in his heart, mainly because of the lack of communication, and he didn't know how deep the water was for other lifters, but he saw that there were more than 20,000 lifters in the boundless world.

And it's in the top 10?

Faster than Wang Ju thought.

The next day, Zhao Ji and Zhao Niannu came together.

It is estimated that this lord is also idle in the palace, and at the same time curious, so he came to report in advance: "Wang Ju, the list will be released soon." ”

"Okay, let's go to Shangshu Province." Wang Judao.

There has to be a process, several examiners have approved the rankings, handed them over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites verifies the font size to write the list, and hands it over to the emperor, at which point the examiner can end the lockdown. So Zhao Ji knew in advance.

But it is not that the list will come down immediately, so the emperor has to write a draft edict after reading it, and then write an edict to the officials of the two systems, and then send it to Zhongshu, and then send the officials to notify the students of each inn to go to watch the list, and at the same time send the list to Shangshu Province in the southwest of Da Nei, and the officials of Shangshu Province sent officials and officials to post it on the wall outside Shangshu Province.

Halfway through, the official came out to ring the gong to make a notice.

However, there are other well-informed people who have also learned the news. Therefore, when the group came to Shangshu Province, some people had already arrived, including that Fan Ji and Han Ming.

As soon as Han Ming looked at Wang Ju, he said from afar: "Wang Xiaolang, you came just in time, and you will also come to be a witness today." ”

"What testimony?"

"I made a bet with Fan De'an, if you are lower than him, I will shout that the Northerners are not as good as the Southerners. If you are higher than him, he will shout, "The southern scholars are not as good as the northern scholars." ”

Wang Ju's mouth opened widely, and he said for most of the day: "The Great Song Dynasty is mixed with the world, how can they divide each other?" Besides, you and I can represent the northern scholars? Can Fan De'an represent the Southern Scholars? It seems that your family is also an official eunuch, right? ”

"I am a child of the Yongqiu Han family."

"Who are you, Young Master Han?" Wang Ju asked, Yongqiu Han family, that is Han Yi's Han family, this is a huge family of eunuchs, no less than the Sanhuai Wang family, the Fenzhou Wen family, and the Shouzhou Lu family......

"He was my grandfather."

"It's also a child of the Han family, remember, don't say this, do you want to split the north and the south?"

Even when the Shuo Party was the most fierce, they didn't dare to make such a bet, this is not the rhythm of looking for death?

Han Ming suddenly came to his senses, so he rushed to Fan Ji and said, "Fan De'an, let's do it, if Wang Ju is higher than you, how about I just want you to apologize?" ”

"Okay, if he's lower than me, I just need you to apologize."

The two changed the gambling contract, and Wang Jucai breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ji pulled Wang Ju aside and asked: "I heard Sima Gong talk to his father, saying that Taizu had carved stones in the forbidden, and the descendants of later generations were useless Nanshi as ministers and ministers and main soldiers, but since the time of Zhenzong, they began to use Zhang Dexiang to break the rules." Is there such a thing? ”

"Have you ever seen this stone carving in the palace?"

"No, so the king is very skeptical."

"That's it, Taizu may have said something similar, but Your Highness, think about the situation at that time, did the Song Dynasty take down the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if it was said after recovering the Southern Tang Dynasty, but did it really take back Wu Yue and the Min Kingdom? Has the military power in the hands of the Jiedu envoy been completely withdrawn? ”

Zhao Ji has already realized that he has not completely recovered the south, and he must use the generals of the north to contribute.

If you don't completely take the military power in the hands of the Jiedu envoy, you must make the northern magnates feel at ease.

What's more, Zhao Song's world is somewhat unright, it was originally the world of the Chai family, so Zhao Kuangyin put on an imperial robe and snatched it from the orphans and widows of the Chai family, which has to make the northern magnates feel at ease.

Is this still necessary?

Not only at this time, but there was no need for this in the hands of Song Zhenzong, so Zhang Dexiang was used as the prime minister.

"Then why did Sima Gong say that?"

"Look at how many officials and how much property the Sima family has."

The Sima family is not only Sima Chi and Sima Guang, but also many Sima are also serving as officials, including Sima Guang's adopted son Sima Kang, but their official positions are relatively low and rarely recorded in historical books.

"This king understands."

Wang Ju really hoped he understood.

The two were whispering, and Han Ming walked over again, looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "You are very familiar." ”

Zhao Ji and Zhao Niannu smiled, and then Zhao Niannu put down the veil on his forehead.

However, Han Ming didn't think of anything else.

Then there were more and more lifters, not only Zhujuzi, but also others, that is, the people who came to catch their sons-in-law.

This is also a new change brought by Zhao Zhen.

Originally, the place to catch the son-in-law was outside the Donghua Gate, with Zhao Zhenci's mercy on the old man, he opened the special name of this Enke, anyway, as long as the provincial test passed the Guò lift, as long as he tried hard, he was admitted five times or six times, and when he was fifty years old, the imperial court opened an Enke, and after going through this formality, he could also get the name of Jinshi.

Therefore, part of the target of catching sons-in-law has been transferred to Shangshu Province, and the big families are also divided into levels, and they can't fight those top big families and magnates, so it's not bad to catch a tribute in Shangshu Province first.

This is the critical time, Li Wanyuan is almost an inch away from Wang Ju's side, and he is afraid that after the upcoming release of the list, his brother-in-law will be arrested.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Niannu looked at him nervously and couldn't cry or laugh.

When the lifting was almost there, the gate of Shangshu Province opened, and a line of officials and officials came out, and there was an official holding a thick red list in his hand.

The release of the charts begins.

Everyone squeezed forward together.

There are so many lifters, some of whom also bring handmaidens and servants, as well as some armies who come to catch relatives, and the crowding can be imagined.

Zhao Niannu was also squeezed behind Wang Ju, and a pair of softness made Wang Ju's heart pound. But in this case, he couldn't let it even if he wanted to.

So much so that Li Wanyuan was very worried on the side, could it be that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also wanted to arrest her brother-in-law, which would be very bad.

But thanks to Chai Rong, when Chai Rong rebuilt Kaifeng City, he seemed to have a premonition of Kaifeng's prosperity today, so the streets were left very wide, and the hundred steps of the royal road were not counted, and the other main streets were thirty to fifty steps.

The street at the entrance of Shangshu Province is fifty steps wide, the officials and soldiers are shouting, although there are many people, they are actually plugged down, and the order has become orderly, and the concubine fiercely pushed a few scribes behind, and Zhao Niannu left Wang Ju's shoulder.

But in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was normal, men and women often frolicked together, and even young men took the opportunity to get some small gains. However, although there are many people now, most of them are scholars, and there are many officers and soldiers standing on the sidelines, so there is not much phenomenon of fishing in muddy waters and taking advantage of the opportunity to be rude.

The officials began to post the list.

In ancient times, the paper was very non-standard, some were large and some were small, and the big ones were very large, so there were butterfly books (one side was printed, then folded, and the reverse side was glued into a book).

The list is also very large, no, it should be very long.

But it also depends on the fact that if the list is ranked from top to bottom, then it should be very high, not very long, and if it is ranked from right to left, then it is very long, not very high.

It's ranked from right to left, so the list is long.

This is also a helpless thing, so many people have to be able to see it, it must be a big word, and it is the name and origin of hundreds of tributes, so it is very long.

The rankings are from right to left, but when posting from left to right, the good stuff always has to come last.

The first ranking list came out, and there was some buzz in the crowd.

Although this is the last position, it is also good to be able to win, and with these sensations, some of the big housekeepers and servants who came to arrest their sons-in-law also squeezed through them with difficulty. In the same way, even if it is at the back, it is good to be caught.

The list continues to pull forward in 6, it should be said that there are not many tributes admitted this time, only about 400 in total. Of course, it also means that the difficulty of being able to pass the test is increasing.

pulled to the 374th, Wang Ju also made a sensation here, it turned out to be Xiong Yu.

"The first tribute," Zhang Desheng squeezed over, rubbing Xiong Yufang's head and said loudly.

I guess he's eating it, it's leaking.

Xiong Yufang was also happy to not know the north and the south. Although the Gongshi does not mean that he can be in the Jinshi, often less than two-thirds, less than half of the Gongshi can pass the Guò Palace Examination, but in the end he won the Gongshi, and Xiong Yu is only in his early twenties, and he will take the test slowly, even if he fails to pass the exam later, he will be fifty years old, and he will have already saved enough qualifications for the fifth and sixth provincial examinations, and he can also be recruited as a Jinshi.

The person who came to catch his son-in-law looked at his age, the younger the better, and the second looked at his clothes, the more shabby the clothes the better, which meant that the person was very poor, and he had to study, and often did not get married, so immediately a few stewards crowded over. Wang Ju hadn't figured out whether to pull or not, Xiong Yufang was dragged to some place by these people.

This time, I finally saw with my own eyes how to catch my son-in-law, and Wang Ju was about to faint, what a neat one.

ps: Shangshu Province of the Song Dynasty has migrated several times in Xingguofang behind the Kaifeng Mansion, but since the fifth dynasty, it has been in Xingguofang, southeast of Da Nei. Therefore, some people think that it is in the southeast of the Imperial City of Ouchi, and the real Shangshu Province is marked on the map as the Western Shangshu Province. In fact, there was only one Shangshu Province in the Song Dynasty, and there was no Shangshu Province in the Imperial City. Almost all the maps of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty were marked incorrectly, and I was confused before. The provincial test list is basically in Shangshu Province, but the palace test list has changed several times, and it gradually rolled out outside the Donghua Gate during the Renzong Dynasty, and it was also decided.
