Liu Ziguang chuckled, pulled Han Xueer into his arms, and pinched her plump butt unceremoniously with his big hands. This beauty is indeed not simple. After being flattered in every possible way last night, Liu Ziguang actually made some progress.
Although it is not completely successful, at least I have confidence. I really can’t bear to kill such a treasure...
"Master, you don't want it~~" Han Xueer cried out sweetly, her water snake-like body twisting rhythmically in Liu Ziguang's arms. She said she didn't want it, but she rubbed her pair of towering breasts against Liu Ziguang's body.
"By the way, Xue'er, if you have any relatives in your hometown, you can recommend them to me. Master, I will reward them with an official position. Even those who are unlucky can eat food and serve as soldiers." Liu Ziguang said casually while touching Han Xue'er's body.
.
"The slave family thanked the master. There are indeed some folks from my hometown in Shandong who fled to the capital. The slave family saw them when they were in the Shandong restaurant. Later, they entered the Earl's Palace and there was no news about them."
"It's easy to say. Tomorrow I will ask a few Ma Bian to follow you to look for them. Your fellow villagers are my fellow villagers. Now that I am powerful, sir, of course I cannot treat my fellow villagers badly."
"Master, you are so kind~~" Han Xueer was so happy that she went straight into Liu Ziguang's arms, with a smile on her face. Liu Ziguang hugged Han Xueer and smiled happily. The smiles of the two people were so similar, but they also contained
with different meanings...
The next day, Liu Ziguang led Sun Qichao to visit Yuan Chonghuan's house. When he heard that the teacher had a daughter-in-law, Yuan Chonghuan was so excited that his beard stood up. He sent his servant Ding Feima to invite other old disciples of Sun Pavilion. In a short time, those in high positions came to the house.
All the disciples of the Sun family hurriedly gathered at Yuan's house. Seeing that their teacher had a daughter-in-law, these uncles all burst into tears with excitement. They looked at Sun Qichao up and down and kept saying: "Xiang! The truth is, there is a Sun Qichao."
Old style!”
Sun Qichao had received emergency training before his arrival. He restrained his red-shirted regimental style and pretended to be a handsome young man in troubled times. He treated people appropriately, was neither humble nor arrogant, and was outstanding. He only said that he had been leading the rebel army in Hebei to resist the Qing Dynasty, and never said anything.
Mention the experience of being in the red shirt team.
Everyone was full of praise: "As expected, he is a daughter of a famous family, traveling behind enemy lines and sacrificing his life to serve the country. He is a good grandson of the teacher."
Sun Chengzong's students are naturally very familiar with the situation in their teacher's family. Naturally, these cunning guys will not rashly believe a descendant of the Sun family who jumped out of thin air. During the conversation, they intentionally or unintentionally asked about the situation of the Sun family that day. Sun Xiaohu grew up in the Sun family.
Growing up in the family yard, he naturally answered questions fluently without any inappropriateness. In addition, the sword left by Mr. Sun Ge served as circumstantial evidence, and everyone firmly believed that this person was Sun Chengzong's direct grandson---Sun Qichao.
The uncles and uncles gathered around Sun Chao and asked him what he planned to do when he came to Beijing. According to Sun Chengzong's teachings, Sun Qichao could become an official without passing the examination. However, Sun Qichao declined everyone's kindness and insisted on passing the formal imperial examination.
Take exams to gain fame.
"Children of the Sun family are not just worms relying on the merits of their ancestors. I have the confidence to pass the exam." Sun Qichao said righteously.
"Well, you are worthy of being a descendant of the old Sun family." An old scholar clapped his hands and praised, "Uncle will give you a test to see your literary skills."
Sun Qichao looked disdainful. Although he had learned a few Chinese characters in the literacy class of the Red Shirt Regiment, he could not do difficult things like pairs. Fortunately, he had a flexible mind and immediately replied: "Junior is in Hebei
At that time, we were fighting with the Tatars every day, and often marching for hundreds of miles at night, so how could we have time to recite poems and write poems?"
Seeing everyone's slightly disappointed look, Sun Qichao continued: "If reciting poetry can save the country, then I will naturally study it. Don't you, gentlemen, remember the story of Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty? No matter how good your poems and articles are, you can only
It is possible that he ended up with a tragic ending where his motherland could not bear to look back at the bright moon. He was born late and lacked talent. He thought that in order to save the Ming Dynasty, he should work hard on enriching the country and strengthening the army."
"Well said!" A rich baritone voice sounded, and the speaker was none other than the current Minister of War, Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan was a disciple promoted by Sun Chengzong. He had a very deep feeling for the teacher. At this moment, he heard the teacher's direct grandson say this.
Such a high-level discussion, I can’t help but applaud it.
"You have such knowledge at such a young age. You are indeed the darling of the Sun family! When our army launches the Northern Expedition, are you willing to serve in the army?"
Before Sun Qichao could answer, the other old men were already making a fuss.
"Yuan Bingbu, this is your fault. Mr. Sun is the orphan of the elder. How can you take the risk of arrows and stones? In my opinion, it is better to live in a temple and assist the emperor."
"Exactly, the Sun family is the only one there. How can you put yourself in danger and become a scholar under my disciples?"
The people present were divided into two groups. One group wanted Sun Chao to go into battle and kill enemies to gain fame, and the other group wanted him to join the civil service system after becoming a Jinshi. The two groups couldn't argue for a while. Liu Ziguang smiled and did not participate in the argument, secretly telling Sun Chao.
Chao made a victory gesture.
After arguing for a long time, they finally reached a consensus and let Sun Qichao take the exam first. Regardless of whether he is engaged in civil or military work, he must have a Jinshi background. In view of Sun Qichao's slightly poor foundation, all the well-educated people wanted to be his teachers.
The hall that had finally calmed down started fighting again. It was a very honorable thing to have Sun Chengzong's direct grandson under his sect, and no one was willing to give up this good thing.
"My lords, please be patient, I have an idea." Liu Ziguang shouted loudly, and everyone stopped arguing and looked at him.
"Everyone here is a disciple of the late Mr. Sun Ge. Masters and disciples share the same relationship as father and son. Mr. Sun, as the direct grandson of Mr. Ge, happens to be the nephew of all of you. This young man came to the capital alone. Of course you uncles and uncles must do your best.
Take care of me, let’s do this, don’t argue, we are all Mr. Sun’s teachers, what do you think?” Liu Ziguang is quite a harmonious person, and everyone agreed after thinking about it, and arranged the incense table on the spot.
Sun Qichao kowtowed and paid homage to his disciples one by one.
After completing his apprenticeship, Sun Qichao became the disciple of all the high-ranking officials here. With the support of these court officials and the title of Sun Chengzong's direct grandson, Sun Chao immediately entered the upper class of the capital, and his career was just around the corner. I learned that Sun Chao was in the capital.
Since he has no fixed residence, Yuan Chonghuan immediately offered to move to his own house. Others did not show any weakness. Some said they would give him a house, and some said they would help arrange marriage arrangements. Sun Qichao was surrounded by these enthusiastic old men and said with emotion.
Speechless.
Liu Ziguang looked at all this with a smile. Qiu Wei's additional examination was about to be held. With his help as the deputy examiner, and the secret operations of so many important uncles, Sun Qichao's high school Jinshi was already a certainty.
, with the status of Jinshi, the official career will be smoother and brighter. Sun Xiaohu, the former captain of the red shirt regiment, will soon become a new star in the Ming Dynasty's political arena!
Back in the mansion, Han Xueer had already found several fellow Shandong people. Liu Ziguang had people arrange jobs for them. Some were working in the mansion, and some were working as handymen in the Nanchang Yamen. Everyone was very satisfied with their new job.
At work, Han Xueer's status has also increased. Although she has not been promoted to aunt, she can already enter Liu Ziguang's study room at will and help organize the copywriting.
The exam is approaching. In addition to Sun Qichao, the candidates Liu Ziguang has arranged include Ding Libin, an accounting clerk at the Liguo Iron Works who once served as his little follower, and young scholars selected from Liguo, Jinan and other places. Liu Ziguang, the deputy chief, missed a question in the exam. They
It's hard not to get good grades.
A few days later, Enke's additional examination was held in Gongyuan. The escort of the examination papers and the security of the examination room were all handled by Nanchang Fanzi. The search before entering the examination room was much stricter than before. The candidates collectively entered the bathhouse to take a bath and then changed.
Wearing uniform cotton-padded jackets when entering the examination room, there is no chance of bringing in any cheat sheets. The three additional test papers are not very long and can be completed in one day. After the test papers are handed in, the names are covered with thick paper and sent to the corrector for correction.
During the marking period, no one is allowed to have any contact with the outside world. We eat, drink, and have sex together, and we cannot go out until all the papers have been corrected.
The examination system seems to be extremely strict, but in fact there are many loopholes. Many powerful candidates from Jiangnan have already obtained some of the test questions before the exam, and candidates from the north who Liu Ziguang secretly supports have also obtained the test questions. Therefore, after the list comes out, the candidates from the north and the south have obtained some of the test questions.
The proportion is very balanced, which is also the result of the game between all parties. Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with this happy result and greatly praised Qian Qianyi and Liu Ziguang.
After the final list of Jinshi came out, some were happy and some were sad. Not to mention the high school students, they shouted joyfully at the gate of the Gongyuan, long live the emperor. The people who stood on the ground shook their heads and lamented, determined to study hard after returning home.
Study miscellaneous studies and come back three years later to gain fame.
The newly promoted Jinshi men will have to wait until February or March next spring to take the palace examination. The emperor will personally set the questions to determine the number one, second and third place. Therefore, these people have not left the capital for the time being, living in hotels and continuing to study hard.
Work hard to win the top spot.
After Liu Ziguang completed the task of deputy chief examiner, he was about to lead his army to fight on the coast of Fujian. He originally thought of leaving after the New Year, but the war was urgent and could not be delayed any longer. Most of the red shirt regiment resolutely went south on New Year's Eve, accompanying them.
Also included are a group of skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, Zheng Sen, the eldest son of the Zheng family, and Wu Sangui, a freshly-promoted martial arts champion.
