"Brother Xian, tomorrow is the time when the results will be released. You are still so calm. I really admire you!"
In the Taoist temple, Wuque and Huang Shang were sitting opposite each other, sipping tea.
Looking at this future grandmaster who is as rich as jade, Wuque is very happy.
Living to nourish Qi and moving to nourish body, Huang Shang's status and environment have not changed significantly, but his demeanor has gradually taken shape.
At this time, as long as he stood in the crowd, he would feel like he stood out from the crowd.
Not from the perspective of a licking dog, Huang Shang also experienced this change.
After solving the test, he felt that his literary spirit was related to that sage master.
Wen Qi is not like true Qi, which is a real force stored in the Dantian, but tends to be illusory.
So far, Huang Shang has not been able to explain it accurately.
Because recently, it is growing rapidly.
In just ten days, it has doubled!
Logically speaking, if literary quality equals talent, then it is a matter of accumulation over time and has nothing to do with scientific examinations.
After all, exams are just a means of testing. A person's knowledge level cannot be directly equated with exam scores.
But facts have proven that the amount of literary talent is closely related to the imperial examination.
This power not only comes from oneself, but also from external recognition.
The imperial examination is recognition.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, reading became a general trend, and the hidden blessing was the most terrifying.
Huang Shang realized this power and felt that the reason why he received such preferential treatment was because this was a low-martial world where the vitality of heaven and earth was thin. No one except him could use this power.
A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not always exist. Now that I have finally met a "bosom friend", the literary spirit is naturally supplied to the maximum extent and comes to me one after another.
This is an exclusive advantage!
Likewise, this also proves the results of the exam.
Have a plan in mind.
In fact, I have nothing to worry about.
Without any external help, Huang Shang was able to pass the exam with his own knowledge. Now that the reincarnations are helping him one after another, he is going to soar to the sky!
Wuque and Nightingale have been busy during this period, and their work was not in vain. Seeing that Huang Shang successfully won the interpretation test, they also wanted to contribute a big show as a congratulation.
Now is the time to remind you in advance: "My dear brother, I have had a lot of fights with that Ming Cult in recent days. This Cult comes from Persia and is not of my race. It must have a different mentality and may have thoughts of revenge. You need to pay attention when the results are released tomorrow."
Huang Shang's face darkened: "Do they still dare to do harm to the scholars?"
Wuque said: "People in the Jianghu have always gone their own way and do not follow the law. The Mingjiao is even more vicious and will not care about the scholars."
The power of scholars in the Song Dynasty was indeed huge, but that was within the rules.
Apart from the rules, who cares about you as a scholar-bureaucrat?
And what is Mingjiao? It is a professional rebel!
There were many peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty. No one can guess the number without looking at the data.
More than four hundred times!
In the Northern Song Dynasty alone for more than 100 years, there were more than 200 recorded popular uprisings.
On average once every six months.
Emperors of other dynasties: Damn it, someone rebelled!
Emperor of the Song Dynasty: Oh, someone is rebelling again
That's the comparison.
However, although there are many times, the scale is very small.
Most of them are hundreds or even thousands, and if they exceed 10,000, they are considered extremely large, so the rule is relatively stable.
Among them, Mingjiao contributed a lot of data.
They rebel all day long, how can they care about the scholars?
Huang Shang asked again: "Can the garrison be relied on?"
Wuque smiled bitterly: "It's hard to count on!"
The combat effectiveness of the garrisons in various states in the southern states of the Song Dynasty is really hard to describe. This is why the Mingjiao targeted them and why the Beggar Clan was able to grow here.
The imperial court is strong, but the Jianghu is weak.
The imperial court is weak, but the Jianghu is strong.
One goes down and the other goes up.
Seeing that Huang Shang's expression became solemn, Wu Que gave him reassurance: "You don't have to worry, good brother, you just need to protect other scholars and leave the rest to us."
Huang Shang immediately understood that Wuque and Nightingale were paving the way for him.
There were too many rebellions in the Song Dynasty. Although they had merit, just like the military generals who could not change their status even if they opened up new territories, they had become numb.
But saving the scholars was a great achievement!
Being able to gain great reputation among scholars will also help in the following provincial and palace examinations.
Paving the way for the top spot!
But this is not a good thing.
Although it saves effort to have someone ready and preparing everything, in the long run, the initiative will be lost and you will become a puppet.
Moreover, he has always been entangled with Jianghu forces, and it will not be so easy to break up in the future.
Of course, Wuque is just warning now and cannot find any fault.
Huang Shang thought in his mind, bowed his hands, stood up and left.
He planned to go to bed early to recharge his batteries.
Looking at Huang Shang's back, the fragrant wind drifted by, and the nightingale appeared: "Do you think he understands our painstaking efforts?"
Wuque said: "Parents love their son and have far-reaching plans. We have worked hard for Huang Shang's future, and he can naturally feel it!"
"Girlfriend fan turns to mom fan? Oh, how disgusting!"
Nightingale didn't like the fandom culture, especially the kind of mom fans, so she yawned and said: "No matter what, I'm going to take a beauty sleep. I'm really exhausted from fighting with Mingjiao these days. See you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
Wuque replied, his eyes twinkling.
The more he did for Huang Shang, the closer their relationship became, and the more Huang Shang could not live without him.
Whether it's a literary name or an official position.
This is the basis of the contract.
Otherwise, Huang Shang's strength improves so quickly, and it won't be long before they won't be needed anymore.
Of course, we must also make plans for the future when we win favor and fight against rice.
At some point, past kindness can become a lever.
"To master the characters in the plot, you must have a degree. You should praise them when they should be praised, and suppress them when they should be suppressed."
"Now that Nightingale and I are working together, without her checks and balances, we can go one step further and leave a heavy mark on Huang Shang's life!"
"By then, even if the Queen and Prince come back, they won't be able to defeat us!"
…
…
Early the next morning, before the fifth watch, it was already dawn, and the place where the eight-character wall was posted at the gate of the Gongyuan was already full of people.
Because today is the time to release the results.
Not to mention coming around early in the morning, many people even stayed up all night.
Those old fritters who were calm and composed in the examination room could not remain calm today. They waited with pale faces for the subordinate officials of Gongyuan to put up the list that would determine their next fate.
Huang Shang was also among them, waiting silently.
In the depressing and uncomfortable atmosphere, time passed slowly.
Finally, the gate of Gongyuan opened, and four subordinate officials hung up a list, then stood on both sides and lifted the curtain.
With a snap, every scholar's eyes turned to the first person in line.
That represents Jie Yuan!
First place in the solution test!
First crown in Aoshan!
At the same time, in the Zhuangyuan Building opposite the Gongyuan.
A series of cold eyes also fell on these scholars.
