Xiao Tao felt a chill behind him, shivered, got goosebumps all over his body, and rubbed his arms, "Oops! Fortunately, I don't have to take the exam, it's even more torturous than the college entrance examination! ”

Situ Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw her scared appearance, reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, gently rubbing, "You don't need to worry!" You used to be different from the times they lived in, they have become accustomed to the current environment, and they don't feel hard! This road is actually the closest road to high-ranking officials or their dreams, and I don't know how many people can't participate if they want to! ”

Xiao Tao nodded clearly, the lifting exam is a turning point for all readers, and it is true that not everyone can participate!

"That's right! At that time, there was also such a sentence, reading is the closest road to success, it seems that although the times are different, the cognition is still the same, so we can only wait for the results now, right? ”

"Hmmm! Don't worry! He's safe inside! Let's just wait, my uncle has always been smart and studious, and he works hard, and it seems that his luck has always been good, and he will definitely be admitted! ”

Xiao Tao lifted the curtain to see Zhou Shaoliang and they entered the Tribute Academy in turn, there were quite a lot of candidates, there were two long queues, there were hundreds of people, ranging in age, and some looked like they were thirty or forty years old.

Looking at these people, Xiao Tao suddenly remembered the story of Fan Jinzhongju! It's not easy to become crazy and become a demon for a goal!

The candidates received the number plate and three candles of their own examination room, carried the salute into the courtyard, and found their examination room in front of the number plate.

Zhou Shaoliang and Suning were divided into different courtyards, and they separated after saying hello.

Zhou Shaoliang carried the salute into No. 26, the inside of the examination room is very simple, a bed is made of three wooden boards, the width is only suitable for one person to turn back and forth, and there is a cabinet.

Near the window is a desk and stool for answering questions, and there is nothing on the table.

Zhou Shaoliang packed up his salute, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in place, looked around to see that there was nothing wrong, and planned to go out to have a look, looking for the room and toilet.

The exam was going to start in the evening, and he planned to go back and sleep in the afternoon after getting used to the environment.

Zhou Shaoliang turned around, greeted several people in the surrounding houses, informed each other of their names, familiarized themselves, and then came back to lie on the bed.

I remembered that Mr. Ouyang asked them to do two articles by themselves that day.

After he returned home, he thought about it for a long time before he put pen to paper, and the most that came to his mind was the question he had discussed with Xiao Tao in the cave at that time.

The way of the king, the way of the minister they have discussed, but also discussed the way of doing things and the way of dealing with the world, Xiao Tao said that those summed up refers to a person's world view, outlook on life and values, a person must have three views to be a good person!

Although the way of being a ruler is not something that he should learn and consider as a courtier, by considering the way of being a king, we can examine the courtiers' expectations of the monarch and their love for the country!

Xiao Tao once said: The most ideal state of the way to be a monarch is that the monarch is dedicated to the country and the people, and the people are noble and the monarch is light! There is no selfishness of one's own, there is no private life of one's own, everything is important to the country!

But this is obviously unrealistic, the monarch is also a person first and foremost, if it is a person, he will have his own ideas, his own selfishness, he will have desires, he will have dictatorship, and he will want to do whatever he wants, which is why so many people want to be emperors!

But if he wants to make an article, he must hope that the monarch will do it with the most sincere attitude, so he wrote an article that Xiao Tao memorized for him at that time as the basic argument:

For the way of the king, you must first save the people, the people are noble and the king is light, if you harm the interests of the people and serve their bodies, they still cut their own shares to eat their own stomachs, and wait for their stomachs to be full and die. If you want to calm the world, you must first correct your body, and those who have not been upright and have a shadow, and those who are in chaos at the top ......"

The way of being a minister is something he is familiar with, and he also has his own set of ideas, the way of being a minister lies in loyalty to the country, loyalty to the people, and loyalty to the king! Dare to call a spade a spade...... Those ideas were discussed with Xiao Tao, and they were all affirmed by her.

Sure enough, the last two articles were praised by Mr. Ouyang, and he specially pointed out that the articles should not be afraid of the first and last when taking the exam, but seek truth from facts! Today's saints are not mediocre.

In the end, I persuaded myself not to be happy with things and not to be sad about myself! Don't care too much about success or failure!

Sitting here now, Zhou Shaoliang is no longer as nervous as he was two days ago, although success or failure is in one move, but it is up to people to succeed, and it is enough to put in all your efforts!

……

Xiao Tao and Situ Yu came back from the examination room and went back to the inn directly, and after breakfast, Xiao Tao had already yawned, so he lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

Situ Yu accompanied her and helped her rub her legs until she saw that she was asleep, let out a slight snoring sound, got up and went out.

He needed to check the matter of losing the child, and his intuition told him that things were not so simple, and Xiao Tao was right about what he analyzed, but he thought about it later, if Xiao Tao could analyze it, it meant that the people behind the scenes had already considered that they would think of those, so their ultimate goal was not so simple.

When he went out to the study, Xiao Jia was already waiting for him inside, and after seeing him come in and sit down, he returned to "Master!" Our people investigated several nearby prefectures and counties, and there were children about ten years old missing, and it was true that as the princess deduced, those children were good seedlings for practicing martial arts, and a few of them were learning kung fu! It's just that the other party did things neatly and didn't leave the slightest trace! ”

Situ Yu's right fingers knocked on the table regularly, his eyes were dark and deep, "Have you checked those children recruited by the princess, don't let anyone take advantage of them!" ”

Xiao Jia nodded, "When I got the news, I sent someone to investigate the group of children, and now I am still waiting for the results!" Father! Could it be that King Yu is behind the ghost, our current enemy, only he is left! ”

Situ Yu shook his head slightly, "It's not sure yet!" But there must be someone who is doing ghosts, if you want to recruit people, you can make it public, or like Xiao Tao, recruit some orphans who have no father and mother, why bother! Give people a handle! They must have some ulterior motives! ”

Xiao Jia also frowned slightly, unable to figure out what the point of them doing these things was.

"Oh! That's right! Father! There was news from the family that the concubine of the second miss's family and his brother were spreading rumors everywhere that the second miss had an improper relationship with the white divine doctor, and the Ma family seemed to want to divorce the second miss, should you tell the princess about this? ”
