The imperial examination in the Great Chu Kingdom has reached its last day.
In the past few days, the attention of the entire Chu Kingdom has been focused on the more than 500 candidates from sixteen counties. Even other national events are nothing compared to the exams they are conducting.
Once every three years, among these people will appear the most talented and fastest-promoting talents in the entire Chu Kingdom. The former is of great significance to idealists, while the latter is of great value to realists.
Become a farmer in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening. There is no faster way to get ahead in the world than the imperial examination. In just a few months, an ordinary scholar may rise to great heights like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. The changes in this are simply incredible.
It's like a magic trick!
Therefore, whenever the imperial examination is held, people from various factions in the DPRK pay close attention to the candidates who are rushing to take the exam, hoping to seize the most valuable ones among these potential stocks that are ready to go and tie them to their own faction.
The chariot turned into a long-lasting and strong driving force, making the ship he was on more solid and reliable, carrying him to rise to greatness and achieve long-lasting wealth.
Among all the candidates, Lin Lushan from Zhaoyang County has received the most attention from all parties.
His talent is dazzling, and his age is amazing, and the fact that he is not married has given many unscrupulous forces an opportunity to win over talents.
Among all kinds of relationships in the world, marriage is undoubtedly a very strong one. If Lin Lushan marries his own daughter, then even if he doesn't care about the relationship between father-in-law and father-in-law, others will have to worry about it when thinking about the problem.
As for a daughter... Aren't daughters meant to be married when they are born? Lin Lushan is young, has a good appearance, good conduct, is talented, and has a bright future... Where can I find such a good husband?
In a restaurant not far from the examination room of the Ministry of Etiquette, in two private rooms far apart, there were two groups of people with different origins but similar ideas.
"Father, do you really want to betroth your sister to that man named Lin?" In the private room to the north, a tall and mighty young man saw that his father had been staring at the examination room thoughtfully, and couldn't help but persuade him, "This is too hasty.
Come on!"
"The opportunity is fleeting. If you don't make a bet now, it will be too late when the dust settles." The person who said this was an equally tall and majestic middle-aged man, with a shrewd look in his deep eyes. He has lived in the industry for a long time.
On the other hand, he cultivated an aura of calmness and self-prestige, "Every country in the world has the tradition of catching a son-in-law under the official list, but they don't know that waiting until the official list is released to catch the son-in-law is just the icing on the cake. With him, there won't be many, and without him, there won't be many."
few."
"But what if he fails the exam?"
"It's just a big deal if you don't pass the exam." The old man said lightly, "With his talent and me helping him pave the way, at most he will start a little slower, but it will only be a matter of time before he becomes famous."
"And don't you know how much His Majesty attaches great importance to the Lin family? Ji Shihou went to the mountains to seek Taoism and did not live in the world, but after all, he was born in our country of Chu, and there is always a feeling of incense. As long as he wins over his relatives and friends, he will
It is inevitable that they will pay more attention to our great Chu country..."
"That's too far! Maybe by the time Ji Shihou becomes an immortal, even I will be old."
"It's very far away for an individual, but not for a country." The old man smiled and taught his son, "For a person, ten years is a long time; but for a country, fifty years is a long time."
A hundred years is nothing. If you can use the Lin family's lifetime glory to exchange for Ji Shihou's goodwill towards the Chu Kingdom, you will be able to make money no matter what!"
"Not to mention...Lin Lushan is a unique genius since the founding of the Chu Kingdom!"
"But... you have to ask your sister if she is willing... maybe she has someone she likes..."
"Absurd!" The old man's face showed an angry look, and he reprimanded his son rudely, "I know you love your sister and hope she can find a man she likes, but how can people like us have the right to pursue these things! And
You want to be prosperous, wealthy and stable for generations, but you also want to be indulgent, love and hate... What do you think of the court? What do you think of our family?"
"I have known for a long time that you like to make friends with those wanderers, and you also like to go to teahouses to listen to storytelling. I have been thinking that nothing big will happen anyway, so I don't bother to care about you. I didn't expect that you are so confused and listen to those peddlers and lackeys.
Take Xiaoxiao’s story seriously! Stories are just stories, they can’t be taken seriously? I really don’t know what’s going on in your head? Are you scumbag?”
He cursed so hard that his son couldn't lift his head, and then he calmed down a bit. After taking a sip of tea, he said kindly: "Ah Lei, you are stupid and can't learn literature. You can only be a military general."
.When I wait a hundred years, there will always be someone in the court who can take care of you. As long as Lin Lushan becomes our son-in-law, he will give you a hand even for the sake of your brother-sister relationship."
"In that case, even if you die as a father, you can still have a peaceful life!"
"But my father doesn't have so many fellow students..."
"Hmph! Those people who follow the crowd can only share wealth and wealth, but not adversity. It's okay to pull them together to add fuel to the fire when it's beneficial. But if you want to pull them together to withstand trouble, they will outrun you.
The rabbit is still fast!"
"Isn't it different in Linlu Mountain?"
"Of course! That young man is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He is a gentleman. As long as he treats you as a friend, he will help you carry it even if the sky falls. Even if he is crushed to pieces along with you, he will not complain! He is the most reliable.
That kind of person!"
"Father, you spoke too well of him..."
"My father has been an official for decades, and I am still very confident in my eyesight!" The old man smiled slightly, and his eyes suddenly tightened, "It's almost time, keep an eye on him, he's coming out soon - remember my instructions, right?
"
"Kids, remember this!"
"That's good, go ahead and do it - remember! Our historian's decades of wealth, your future peace, and your sister's lifelong happiness all depend on your performance this time!"
The young man sighed and was about to leave. Suddenly his eyes widened. He pointed at the girl in pink waiting outside the Ministry of Etiquette examination room and asked: "Father, what should I do with that woman? She picks him up here every day, and it seems like she is with him.
It’s very emotional.”
"Bah!" The old man was so angry that he picked up the tea bowl he had just taken a sip from and threw it at his son. "If it weren't for that woman, why would I let you rob someone!"
The group of people in the other private room were also ready at this moment.
"Have you remembered my instructions?" the young man in brocade clothes at the head asked coldly, "There is no room for error in this matter. If something goes wrong... you don't need me to say more, right?"
The burly men who knelt on the floor in front of him nodded and responded repeatedly.
"Lin Lushan is a good talent and is valuable to win over, so you have to bring him back to me. As long as you bring him into the palace, tie him up and throw him on the bed of one of my sisters, uncooked rice will be considered cooked rice.
.Give him the courage to sleep with the princess and then refuse to admit it!" The young man said something that should have been interesting, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I always thought those girls were annoying and stupid, I didn't expect them to be like this
Kind of useful..."
Big men, you look at me and I look at you, but you dare not talk to me.
"My father has a big thing to do this time, and we will need a lot of talents when it is completed. Catch a few more now to avoid having no one to clean up the mess in the future when the bloodshed is flowing." The young man said, his eyes suddenly stopped on
He looked at the pink figure and frowned.
"That woman... seems to have a very unusual relationship with him..." He pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming fiercely, "To kill her, be more agile."
"Ah?!" This order was a bit exaggerated. The big man at the head couldn't help but let out a low cry, and bravely asked, "Killing people outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites?"
"Nonsense! How can we guarantee that he will be loyal to our family if we stop his thoughts?" the young man said in an understatement, "If necessary, I plan to kill his parents as well, lest he and I will not stand by our father's side.
The king is causing trouble here!"
"This is too..."
"Don't be verbose! What do you know! People who do big things must be ruthless first!" The young man criticized the ignorance of his subordinates with disdain, raising his head high, as if he was a great person, "See clearly, be sure, and support."
You can survive and do it ruthlessly. If you want to achieve a career, how can you be a mother-in-law!"
As he spoke, he looked at the pink figure again, hesitating whether to tie the other person into a secret stronghold of his so that he could enjoy it, but ambition overcame lust in the end.
Turning his head and no longer looking at the dazzlingly beautiful figure, he coldly ordered: "Let's go!"
A group of big men agreed in unison and then filed out.
Naturally, Lin Lushan didn't know that both the prime minister of the dynasty and the prince who was planning to usurp the throne were eyeing him. At this moment, he was walking out of the examination room with great ambition and confidence.
The examination room of the Ministry of Etiquette is very deep. From the examination room to the main gate, it is almost a mile of winding and turning.
After three exams, he felt that he did well in the exam and gave full play to his own ability. It should - at least not be worse than in the county exam.
He did not turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window. He knew very well that his level was probably the best in this imperial examination. Unless someone performed particularly well, or the examiner particularly favored a certain examination, he would not be the top candidate in this examination.
Lang...probably it has to be me!
When a happy event happens, people feel refreshed and happy, so naturally they walk a little faster. He walked through the long corridor, walked through the courtyard lined with flowers and trees, and walked out of the vermilion gate.
Before he went out, he saw Dan'er and his eldest brother waiting for him not far away with a few servants. Seeing him coming out in high spirits, everyone looked happy.
He walked happily towards that side, and just as he was about to wave and say hello, the jade talisman that had been hanging on his chest suddenly became hot, and then Wu Jie's voice came.
"Lao Wu, are you in the capital? If you are, take your uncle and aunt out of the city as soon as possible! Don't waste a moment!" Wu Jie's voice was anxious and a bit uneasy, "I have a little trouble here, I will pick it up after it is resolved.
