The sergeants assigned to conduct inspections all had their eyes wide open and were very sophisticated. They were originally soldiers responsible for inspections in the army. They were mainly responsible for searching the bodies of some sergeants who enriched their own pockets or stole chickens and dogs during operations against the enemy. They were
The existence of Liu Lin's soldiers made Liu Lin's soldiers fear him, and also allowed the army to maintain a high-spirited fighting spirit and heroic demeanor. So far, no cases of the army plundering property have been found.
The soldiers were examined one by one. One passed the examination and the other entered. This time, a fat soldier slowly walked to a sergeant. The sergeant glanced at the soldier and said coldly: "General
Lift it up!" The soldier glanced at the soldier and said with contempt in his eyes: "Should I also be searched? I am a member of the Mi family!" The soldier was stunned for a moment and looked at the fat soldier. He saw that the soldier was wearing
Jinpao, with his eyes narrowed, although he spoke with threats, his expression was not so natural. The sergeant said in a deep voice: "This imperial examination is a major matter for the lord. Since you are a descendant of the Mi family and a relative of the lord, you should pay more attention to the lord."
Such painstaking efforts!" After saying that, he ignored the scholar and stepped forward directly.
The fat scholar's face turned pale for a while, but he was at a loss. However, several scholars in brocade uniforms following him shouted: "Fat Sanlang, didn't you say that Yan Hou is your brother-in-law? Don't say that this little
Can even a county magistrate get the imperial examination easily? Why do you have to be searched?" After saying this, these people burst into laughter. Their laughter was unbridled, which made some of the scholars around them feel disgusted.
The information revealed in it made these scholars a little angry. It turned out that there was a shady secret behind the fair examination. When they thought of coming all the way to Youzhou, some even bankrupted their entire lives just to have a fair examination.
, to realize their ambitions, but they did not expect that these were all fake, and there was no fairness in it. For these scholars, what they saw in their eyes was that the powerful families had controlled the government for hundreds of years, and the children of poor families had no way out.
I can only work as a staff member, and I can only humble myself and seek a way out. At this moment, some people were angry, and some of them shouted, "What a bullshit imperial examination, what a bullshit fairness, all of this is fake!"
The sudden scene made Hua Xiong a little overwhelmed. He quickly mobilized the sergeants and surrounded the scholars outside the school grounds. However, the excited scholars were not afraid and all stepped forward one after another. Just now
The sergeant who was standing at that moment searching for the Mi family kid grabbed the fat scholar aside and quickly said to Hua Xiong: "General, this person is the cause of this incident. I hope the general can make a decision soon!"
Hua Xiong understood what the sergeant meant. He glanced at the fat soldier and his eyes suddenly became uncomfortable. He knew this man. He was the son of the second wife of the Mi family. Logically speaking, he was indeed Liu Lin's brother-in-law.
At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. He was a subordinated general, not Liu Lin's direct descendant, nor Liu Lin's confidant, so he kept a low profile in Youzhou and did not make friends with officials or contact his subordinates. He just tried his best to complete Liu Lin's mission.
Despite the tasks given to him, he is not stupid. He knows that the Mi family is deeply trusted by Liu Lin. His elder brother Mi Zhu is now working as a cangcao in the state Mufu government office, in charge of money, grain and taxation, and his younger brother Mi Fang serves in the Youbeiping Army.
, and their sister is Liu Lin's wife Mi Zhen. If he offends the children of the Mi family at this moment, it will be extremely disadvantageous for him, but in the face of the current situation, if he does not make a decision, he will definitely cause big trouble.
Come, after all, he knew that Liu Lin also attached great importance to this scientific examination.
When the sergeant saw Hua Xiong's troubled expression, he shook his head, sighed secretly, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "General, make a decision quickly. This scientific expedition is a major political event in the past century. My lord attaches great importance to it.
!" All the hesitations in Hua Xiong's heart suddenly disappeared like mist. He glanced at the sergeant, nodded and said, "Uncle Zhi, thank you very much!" After saying that, Hua Xiong asked someone to remove the fat Mi family.
The disciples caught him and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!"
The noise outside the school grounds had already attracted the attention of the officials inside. The examiners this time were Cai Yong and Xun Shuang. They were also standing inside the school grounds paying attention to the commotion. At this time, Cai Yong discovered that Liu Lin had
But he came to them and said, "I have met my lord!" Everyone saluted together. Liu Lin waved his hands and said nothing, but his face was extremely cold. Cai Yong looked at Zhou Yu and Guo Jia who were standing next to Liu Lin.
There was a wry smile, and he just shrugged, but said nothing.
Seeing that everyone was still noisy, Hua Xiong jumped onto a high platform at the entrance of the school ground. The sentry tower was originally located there. Because of this scientific expedition, the sentry tower was demolished. He stood on the high place and shouted:
"Everyone, be quiet!" He shouted, and everyone also fell silent. They all looked at Hua Xiong with wide eyes. Hua Xiong said loudly: "This exam is a grand event for my great man in a hundred years. It is also a great event."
This has not happened in a hundred years, and what happened today is really the result of this person's arrogance. In order to show that my Marquis Yan is fair in selecting scholars, I have decided to remove this person from the exam!"
Hua Xiong's words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. Some people were disdainful, some were happy, some were worried, and some were disbelievers. At this time, the fat man of the Mi family who had been at a loss spoke up. He knew that this matter was
He stood up because of himself, but if he didn't speak, he would be doomed in the future. He shouted loudly: "Hua Xiong, what qualifications do you have to remove me? You just surrendered!" "Pa!" Chen Daoyi
The blow hit Fat Sanlang's face, and immediately the right side of Fat Sanlang's face swelled up, and blood stains flowed from the corner of his mouth. Hua Xiong stood on the high platform with a cold face. At this moment, a clear voice sounded coldly: "Then my
Are the qualifications enough?”
Hua Xiong was stunned and quickly looked back, only to see Liu Lin walking out of the examination room, with his personal guards carefully guarding him. Hua Xiong quickly jumped down from the high platform, clasped his fists in front of Liu Lin and said, "See you soon, subordinates."
Pass the lord!" Liu Lin nodded, glanced at Chen Dao approvingly, and jumped onto the high platform. His personal guards suddenly panicked. It would be dangerous if there were assassins at this moment, but Liu Lin did not give in.
When the guards came up, he raised his hands to the scholars below the high platform and said: "Dear young heroes, I am Liu Lin! I already know what happened just now. I am very grateful to you all for coming to Youzhou, taking part in the imperial examination, and working for the people.
Well-being, today's matter is a small matter, but it also shows your heart to serve the country. I, Liu Lin, deeply admire it. I hereby make a promise to you. The imperial examination is an important way for me to employ people in Youzhou. I, Liu Lin, will definitely be fair and just.
, I believe that as long as you have real materials, you will definitely be on the list. In addition, if there are occasional failures in this exam, I also hope that everyone will not be discouraged and can prepare to take the scientific exam again next year. If you do not want to take the exam again, everyone
You can also join the army. Our army in Youzhou also needs civilian officers. In a word, I, Liu Lin, employ people based on their talents. As long as you are talented, I, Liu Lin, will reuse you!"
