Chapter 55 The day of calm, the wind and clouds are rising
Chapter 55: On a calm day, the storm gradually arises
It is also because of these reasons that the threshold for the imperial examination has been raised to a daunting level.
As for simplicity, the imperial examination is also extremely simple. You only need to register at the county school where you are, or be recommended by someone with enough reputation and status. You can take the scientific examination if you have a certain registration or other qualifications.
With Lu You's status and reputation, it would naturally be a great help to recommend Shen Tang.
"In my opinion, Shen Tang should start preparing now. Autumn will be in a few months, and next year will be the year of the competition! If everything goes well, you will be a Jinshi master in a year!"
The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were not as complicated as those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There were only preliminary examinations held in various states, called Qujie. The next level was the provincial examination held by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court! After the provincial examination, it was presided over by the emperor himself. Palace examination.
The competition is held every three years, so next year will be the year of the scientific examination!
"Don't worry, dear brother, I will bring you all the four books and five classics at home tomorrow, and I will make sure that you can successfully find the solution and be nominated for the list!"
When it comes to this matter, Lu You is more concerned about it than Shen Tang! In fact, under Shen Tang's wry smile, several people have begun to discuss where to erect the memorial arch if they are named on the gold list in the future...
They had a good conversation until it was getting dark, and Lu You and his wife reluctantly left.
However, when the two of them left, Shen Tang gave them a gift! The gift was not expensive, but it was two poems. They were also the two crested hairpins that have been passed down through the ages! The two of them Since the harmony has been restored, these two poems will naturally not appear again. They were written by Shen Tang. Although they lack a bit of the artistic conception of the parties involved, it is quite interesting to be passed down in this way.
In addition, with the intelligence of Lu You and his wife, it is easy to understand the profound meaning of these two poems, which is also a warning to them!
In the dark night, Shen Tang and his wife were leaning on the bed. Liu Xiangling turned her eyes slightly and asked Shen Tang with a bit of curiosity: "Husband, do you want to take the scientific examination?"
Shen Tang smiled, "It depends on whether the lady wants to be the first lady!"
Liu Xiangling blinked her watery eyes, and said softly: "I don't know..." Even though she said this, there was a bit of longing in her eyes! It may be every woman's desire to hope that her husband will become a successful man. Bar.
Holding Liu Xiangling in his arms, looking at each other, Shen Tang whispered in Liu Xiangling's ear: "Let's not talk about whether to take the imperial examination or not. Now, you have to let your husband feel it first. Apart from the titles on the gold list, Another joy..."
The lights flickered out, and a low chant began...
The incident of the disaster victims has passed, and the workshops outside the city have returned to normal! Moreover, next to the Baijin Building, a shop named Dengxian Building has also opened bustlingly, and various perfumes called Xianlu have gradually become popular in various noble houses. Wife, rich in gold!
Shen Tang's life was uneventful. On the second day of Lu You's visit, he brought half a car full of books. Among them were all four books and five classics. In addition, there were a large number of famous classics and even transcripts. The articles he copied were Jing Yi! Even the possible directions for taking the Jing Yi exam, Lu You sorted out quite a few.
Shen Tang reads and studies scriptures every day, and Liu Xiangling is by his side, which makes him feel like a man with red sleeves.
In addition to studying, Shen Tang also did another thing. That was to make arrangements for the hundreds of people who stayed after the disaster.
There were a total of 140 or 50 people left at that time! Except for a small number of people who were assigned to work as clerks in workshops outside the city and as caregivers, most of them were handed over to Cheng Yuhu. These people did not work, their only job was to accept Cheng Yuhu’s training! Under Cheng Yuhu’s strict supervision, these people grew even beyond Shen Tang’s imagination. Especially with Shen Tang’s supply at all costs, these people quickly transformed from the original refugees into a Well-trained team!
The Song Dynasty's control of weapons was relatively strict in terms of regulations, but in terms of actual operation, it was extremely broad. Even in Lin'an, armor and crossbows that were strictly prohibited were sold, not to mention other state capitals. Although Shen Tang has no intention of training these people into an army for the time being, he has secretly equipped this team with simple knives, bows and arrows.
The crisis in his heart has never been eliminated, but with such a power in hand, Shen Tang can feel at ease!
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the end of June. In this hot season, the competition in the Great Song Dynasty had reached a fever pitch! The power of Emperor Zhao Gou and the Crown Prince Zhao Weiyi The forces of the department are competing vigorously! And it directly affects the entire officialdom!
The military veteran who was originally stationed in Xiangyang received a secret letter and after thinking about it all night, he finally issued a secret order: "Start immediately!"
The power of the Central Government has gained the upper hand, but it still lacks the most advantageous sword. And this ownerless force is the most suitable sword! Once you get this sword and cut it out, it will be enough to lay the foundation for the Central Government. The political situation, and he took advantage of the situation and became a minister of the dragon!
Although seizing this power will bring great risks and even be targeted by all parties. However, compared with the benefits obtained, it is obviously worth it...
Since the disaster incident, the relationship between Shen Tang and Lu Feng has become closer! Aiwujiwu, because of the importance he attaches to Shen Tang, Wei Xun also attaches more importance to Lu Feng. Lu Feng naturally knows the reason, so he also walks around with Shen Tang. More frequently. On this day before it got dark, Lu Feng came to invite Shen Tang to drink and have fun together!
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to the restaurant.
There were other guards waiting at the door. When they saw the two coming, they hurried to the store to greet them.
Just as everyone was welcoming Shen Tang and the others into the restaurant, three or five men walked out of the restaurant! Each of these men was carrying a large food box in their hands. When Shen Tang and others entered, these few men walked out of the restaurant. A man walked out. Although Lu Feng and the other police officers were not popular, they were still walking sideways in Shanyin County. How could they know how to give way? And these men did not dodge or dodge, heading straight towards the door. come over.
Lu Feng winked, and the guards around him sneered and stepped forward, pushing directly towards the men.
"Snapped!"
Before a catcher's hand could reach the leading man, the man raised his hand and slapped the catcher's hand away.
"Walking without looking at people is a recipe for death!" the man said coldly.
For a moment, the unscrupulous police officers were actually scolded by several rough men. Several police officers even raised the iron ruler and wanted to teach the men in front of them a lesson.
