"Right next door to you? There was a lot of noise? Did you hear what it was about?"
The series of questions were not about Master Xu Yun's gossip, but that he felt that this matter was fishy. He arrested people in the examination room near the end of the Beijing Examination... was it because of cheating?
How to cheat in the examination room? The inspection was very careful before, and even the clothes were changed at the end. With Master Xu Yue's imagination, he could not determine how the guy with great powers and very unlucky cheated.
Hao Chujun’s answer is bound to disappoint, “You don’t know, I was sweating all over my back at that time, and I just wanted to stop getting in trouble, so I didn’t dare to listen carefully.
That is to say, the article has been written. Otherwise, how can I still answer the questions carefully after all this trouble?
It’s really weird, why would you arrest someone in the examination room? Could it be that that person has committed something before?”
The two uncles and nephews were both excited and nervous. Master Xu Yue also became interested. They are both young people at the age where they are curious about everything.
Since there is no danger, it can be treated as an anecdote.
The two of them got on their horses and rode forward, whispering and whispering.
"Have you seen that person?"
"Uncle, it's not like you don't know. Once you enter the examination room, you can't leave the room except to give away the clothes at the beginning. The person came late and I didn't see him."
"What happened when people were arrested? Since you heard it, it's impossible for others to not notice it. In this case...it seems a little inappropriate, right?"
"Then who knows? I only heard the man yell something in panic, and then he was probably held down. Maybe he was hit a few times, and then he screamed in pain and then stopped..."
"Okay, let's talk about this among ourselves. Don't spread it out. If we caught it on the spot, it must be suspected of cheating. Otherwise, I really can't figure out why we were so eager to take someone. Maybe it was just to steal the stolen goods.
And won."
"I didn't dare to say anything nonsense. When I saw you, my uncle said that I... I'm lucky that I have a strict mouth, otherwise I would probably be making trouble in the city now, right?"
"That's not the case. It's not like you didn't know about the Taoist test last year and killed a lot of people for it. But when I came to Chang'an, I didn't expect to encounter such desperadoes, and I didn't think about my wife, children, and children at home.
If it is found out that there was any misconduct in the examination room, my life will definitely be lost, and the whole family will suffer. You and I must take this as a warning."
Hao Chujun nodded with concern. After reading books for so many years, he used to think about how to display his ambitions after becoming an official. He did not expect that when the imperial court opened a subject to obtain a scholar, everyone would have to walk on a single-plank bridge.
The provincial examination is a small test of excellence, and the road examination is also simple. It is said that the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River is flourishing, but in fact it is compared with the north where there is no connection between the youth and the youth.
In the past, Jin had Wang Tong, Xue Daoheng, and Pei Yun, Hebei had Er Liu, Guanxi had Niu Hong, Yang Su, and Dou Cheng, Shandong had Lu Rang, Wang Shen, and Zhan Ziqian, and Henan had Cui Zheng.
The world of two families...
Looking at these people, each of them can be said to be a master of the generation. It can be seen that the culture of the north is no worse than that of the south. It is just that after they withered one after another, they were hit by wars, leaving the north in a mess, making it unsustainable.
Because the South was less affected by the war and had the remnants of Yiguan's journey south, it completely overwhelmed the North at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
The theory that the literary style in the south was at its peak began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was completely confirmed in the early Tang Dynasty. In fact, it does not mean that there are more outstanding literati in the south than in the north, but a kind of custom.
The south has beautiful mountains and clear waters, mist and mist, which is a good place for dancing and writing. But because of this, most of the poems and articles are composed of melodious sounds, so the strong and powerful voices often come from the north.
If the levels are about the same, who do you think is better if you compare the two? Isn't that obvious?
Of course, these things are not absolute. Hao Chujun's articles are known for being simple and powerful. Regarding matters of love and love, you should avoid them at all costs. Well, it has the potential to be a single person.
He had taken the provincial examination, the Taoist examination, and now he had taken the Beijing examination. Two or three years had passed since this examination. Looking back, he felt that it was not easy to become an official.
Things that are not easy to obtain will always be cherished. Therefore, Hao Chujun, who was always known as a wild person in the south, has restrained himself a lot after coming to the capital.
In addition, Master Xu Yu was always in charge of him, so Hao Chujun did not leave a reputation as a Jiangnan madman in Chang'an.
…………
The uncle and nephew reached a consensus and hurried back to their residence.
They lived in the Sanyuan Li family's house because Master Xu Yu's father, Xu Shao, was close to Li Jing.
After Xu Shao died, Li Jing, who was in Chang'an at the time, heard that he wrote a eulogy for Xu Shao.
Needless to say, the relationship between the two of them was that the Miyuan Li family was from Kansai. When the Anlu Xu family entered the Sui Dynasty with the leader of the Nanliang Kingdom, Xu Shao and Li Jing were both still young. By the time Xu Shao died, they had known each other for many years.
.
Li Yuan sent Li Jing to lead troops into Shu because he was recommended by Xu Shao.
Later, Li Jing, Yuwen Huo, and Zhang Lun led troops to Shu. Xu Shao was dead, but the three sons were still serving under Chai Shao. They were each their own masters, and they met each other with swords.
Li Jing and others conquered Kuizhou, and Xu Shao's eldest son Xu Shan led an army with his two younger brothers to resist, but was eventually captured.
Li Jing killed Chai Shao, but treated Xu Shao's three sons kindly and allowed them to serve in Shu. The two families have since rekindled their old friendship.
Later, when Li Jing was in charge of Jiangling, Master Xu Yu paid a visit to the Governor as a nephew of his family friend. At that time, Li Jing saw that he was well-versed in arts and sciences and was quite magnanimous at a young age, so he wanted to keep him by his side as an adviser first.
In fact, it is considered to be an official. If you stay with someone like Li Jing for two or three years, then there will be no problem if Li Jing recommends you to become a county magistrate.
Master Xu Yu declined Li Jing's offer for a simple reason. The Anlu Xu family settled in Jiangling. To be honest, Li Jing's reputation in Jiangling was not very good. Everyone respected him, but Li Jing was the killer in Jiangling.
There are too many people.
Especially since he was one of the generals who led the army to attack Jiangyou. The war had just ended, and everyone in Jiangling was afraid of the Tang army, thinking that they were intruders.
Master Xu Yu didn't want to offend the elders in his hometown and let his family be criticized, so he made a decision that now seems very short-sighted.
…………
Now Master Xu Yu's uncle and nephew came to Beijing to take the exam. They did not contact anyone else, but only went to see Mrs. Chen of the Jin Dynasty.
You must know that even though Xu Shao died, his old ministries and sects, or the in-laws of the Anlu Xu family, are all traced in Chang'an. For example, the Lanling Xiao family and the Anlu Xu family are in-laws.
For example, the Li family and the Xu family in Longxi are not outsiders, but do you dare to visit the Li family in Longxi now?
