Live together with Qing

Wei Changsheng in the carriage sneezed several times, rubbed his nose, and thought about a problem seriously.

In the three essays of the first exam, he has used all the famous sentences in the ancient essays that must be memorized in the college entrance examination. What will he use to make up for the palace exam the day after tomorrow?

He has been pretending to be calm, just because he is overwhelmed when he wakes up. There is a noisy Mr. Yan next to him, and the ruler is whistling in the wind, but he is not lonely. The mood of falling asleep is completely different.He also had a strange premonition that he might never go back to Liangma County again.

Wei Changsheng lifted the curtain, and took a serious look at this new world for the first time. Not far away, there are green waters and green mountains, and the fields are half green and half yellow. It is the same as the scenery he saw when he was working in the imperial capital and the company arranged the suburban team building. I still remember that when he was in his early twenties, he was like Lengtouqing. His blood was hot and his heart was full of enthusiasm.

The sky here is really blue and the clouds are really white. The quality of life of people here is far better than that of his time.It's just that I don't have anything, and I don't even have any parents or friends. How can I work hard in this strange world?

Hey, coincidence, it seems to be the same mood as when I left the system to work hard in the imperial capital.

Compared with the fear of danger in this strange world, another kind of strange excitement bursts out in his body. He no longer has to bear the expectations of his orphan mother and the suffocation of debts. Maybe he can try a different way of life?

The rolling hills are getting smaller and smaller behind him, and the huge city wall not far away seems like a giant opening its mouth, and it is about to swallow him.

Damn it, I don't believe it anymore, I'm a modern person, and I can't play with these old things.A certain great man once said that knowledge can change one's destiny. It's a big deal. Let's walk the old road again, take the exam, who the hell is afraid of whom?

But before the exam, he decided to find all the spies from the capital city. Knowing himself and the enemy, he can win every battle. He can't even recognize the princes and nobles of the dynasty. How can he deal with himself under the imperial city?I have to make a good strategy in a few days.

Just as he was thinking, the carriage stopped under the city gate, and the city guard questioned him routinely. He glanced over the city wall.

Fuck you dear uncle!There is actually a handsome guy, comfortably... basking in the sun on the tower?

I'm sloppy, those eyes, I'm sloppy, that mouth, I'm sloppy!that nose!I'm hasty!That waist and that leg!It's all about his aesthetics!

At that moment, he couldn't think of any famous phrases such as a gangster, such as sharpening, such as grinding, and he pretended to be all over his head, if he can sleep with this man, he can do it by himself. This trip is also worth riding a horse.

The handsome guy basking in the sun on the wall is the deity of Xuanbu Shangshu Murong Duan.He didn't know when he developed the habit. Whenever he wanted to be alone, he sneaked here to think about life.

Murong Duan felt a chill all over his body for no reason, he got up quickly and prepared to go back home, he didn't want to catch the cold, the invigilator was absent on the day of the imperial examination.

As a result, at a place less than a hundred steps away from his own mansion, he met his usual old enemy.When Murong Duan heard the name of Yizhi Shangshu being announced by the servant in the opposite carriage, his face was as calm as water, he called the chariot driver to stop, raised the bamboo curtain, walked up to Yizhi Shangshu Chengli and saluted him.

The selection department is responsible for the selection and promotion of officials. Murong Duan personally prepared the papers for the two years' promotion examinations. In the year of the No.1 exam, I was a little bit young and energetic, and said directly to Dijun that the person who wrote the question had very little knowledge, and immediately pointed out several mistakes in the historical evidence.

From then on, the matter of setting the questions never fell back to the head of the Ministry of Rites, and even the palace examinations for the past two years were all arranged by Murong Duan.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng."

"Master Murong, hello."

"What a coincidence, we met."

"It's not a coincidence. I came here specially to wait for the adults."

Murong Duan took half a step back, and bowed again, "Master Cheng, why don't you go to my house to talk." Knowing that he has low qualifications, he has always been polite to his colleagues, gentle, courteous and thrifty.

Cheng Li is an old man in his 50s, with a gray beard and narrow eyes. Since he has been an official in the court for many years, he can't restrain the urge to give advice to his juniors, "No need, Mr. Murong, I will be with you." Let me tell you, this exam should be in charge of the Ministry of Rites under the Rites System. In the past two years, I was not in good health, so I asked my lord to do it for me. This time, it should be returned to the original owner and returned to the Ministry of Rites. You Say it?"

"Okay." Murong Duan smiled with a gentle smile. "It's me who is more disciplined. Mr. Cheng taught you a lesson in time. Thank you for reminding me."

Cheng Li's prepared rebuttal was blocked by this sentence, and he couldn't help but cough a few times. "My lord is too polite. The invigilation is indeed too hard. My lord should rest assured to review the test papers and select the pillars of the country..."

"Master Cheng, then this year's imperial examination questions will also be handed over to the Ministry of Rites?" Murong Duan smiled like a lazy cat.

Chengli was at a loss for words for a while, it wasn't that he didn't want to come up with the topic, it's just that the ritual system, the main job was to be responsible for offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, divination the fortune of the emperor's family, and they were good at talking about things that people couldn't understand , the exam questions are not level, it is easy to be thrown by the students as rotten eggs, in case it gets to the ears of the current emperor...

If you take too many steps, it is easy to tear your eggs.

Cheng Li smiled back dryly, the folds on his face were like dumpling wrappers, "The question is very troublesome, it is the work of your selection department, we will not violate the rules. Still follow the old rules, half an hour before the palace examination, I will send someone to your house to collect the questions."

The question was handed over to the invigilator on the same day, mainly because he was afraid of leaking the questions. Murong Duan's invigilator would not ruin his reputation, so it's better to be cautious when changing someone else.

Now that the ritual system can occupy a place in the six departments, it has nothing to do with Chengli's meticulous life. This time he dared to openly ask Murong Duan to ask for the arrangement of the palace examination. Da, the other courtiers refused to accept, and with the acquiescence of the emperor, he had today's party.

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, turned and returned to the carriage, stepped into the car and lowered the curtains, he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.This Murong Duan, in the early years, was said to not live past the age of 15, but now it seems that he is not only lucky, but also very happy.

Murong Duan respectfully watched the shadow of the carriage disappear into the corner of the street, his posture was leisurely and elegant, and he was not in a bad mood. He had been thinking about the exam questions for a long time, and finally settled down at this moment.

There were more than 40 candidates who participated in the promotion examination this time, and [-] people were selected to participate in the palace examination. The palace examination was arranged in the main hall of the Taixing Palace of the Imperial Palace, and the examination was supervised by the Minister of Yizhi. The collection was handed over to the Minister of Xuanbu for review.

"Govern the country with etiquette, or rule the country with the law? Choose one and discuss the pros and cons of each?"

Wei Changsheng sat on the table with his legs bent, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this question. Why did it read so much like a Ma Zhe exam question in a university?What is the key point of the exam, everyone is equal before the law?

He thought for a while, swiped his pen, and wrote eloquently according to the problem-solving logic of the dichotomy.Most of the paper was written, and he stopped writing suddenly, exclaiming in his heart that it was dangerous. According to the consistent pissing behavior of the question maker in the past few years, he must be extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. Judiciary is unknown, so it should be the other way around.

Insurance's answering ideas probably won't get the first place, you have to step on it!The legal system must overwhelm the ritual system!

To talk about how he came to the conclusion that Zhongyi suppressed the head of the law department in the six parts, because he had a cordial meeting with the spies the day before.

"Which department head lives in the city center? Oh, you don't know the city center, where is the most expensive lot, which area has the most prosperous shops, and what is the size of their house, and do they have other real estate, oh, don't Yuan, how many wives and concubines in each family, how many servants..."

At the end of the question, he naturally had an idea in his mind.If you become an official in the future, you must focus on currying favor with those in the ritual system.

Wei Changsheng grinds it again, spreads out a new piece of rice paper, and writes steadily, his writing is flowing, his writing is swift and powerful.

Regarding his brush calligraphy, he really benefited from Tongzi skills.When I was young, because of my mischievousness, my father locked me in the room to practice calligraphy, and I couldn't go out to play until I wrote ten sheets. I didn't expect this hidden skill to play an advantage here.I saw that he finished the test paper in one go, and he finished the test paper in one stick of incense. He looked up at the old man with the white beard in the hall, hesitating whether he could hand in the test paper in advance.

He raised his hand to signal, the old man remained motionless, he waved his hand slowly, the old man was like a rock.

Is there a mistake?Is this man blind or just playing tricks?Wei Changsheng was almost at the point where he wondered if the invigilator had fallen asleep, and as expected, he heard the old man smack his lips twice, "Murong Duan, wait." Then he snored loudly, which turned out to be sleep talking.

As soon as Wei Changsheng heard the words Murong Duan, Wei Changsheng immediately pricked up his ears, but it was a pity that the old man only said that, and there was no further movement. The voices can be heard clearly.

Wei Changsheng's leg was a little numb, so he couldn't hold back and tapped his thigh. The old man in the hall woke up at this moment and glared at him angrily.

It's my fault to disturb your sleep, sir, please continue?

Wei Changsheng scoffed in his heart.

Who the hell is this Murong Duan?Mr. Yan repeatedly warned him to pay attention to this person, and said that this person was his helper. Those little spies talked all over Murong Duan when they mentioned Murong Duan, but they didn't bring any useful information.

"His mansion is remote and small, and there are not many servants, so it doesn't look rich." Oh?To be an upright official or to keep a low profile?

"He is the queen's nephew, but his family has many children, and he seldom returns to the master's house. It seems that he is often in the mansion." Oh?Well-born but not valued?

"I heard people say that he only likes to read books, and he doesn't like anything." Oh?hell.

"It's not considered heroic for him to reward beggars. He only gives a little money when he is in a good mood." Oh?Cheapskate?

"He's not married, he's not too young, and he never visits Beiyuan."

"Looks like..." Only this sentence made Wei Changsheng put down his chopsticks and wipe his mouth. "Tell me what he looks like?"

The spy named Xiaochao looked at his younger brother very dissatisfied, and gave him a slap on the head, "Compared to Lord Hou, everyone is a puddle of mud, understand?"

Xiaochao looked at Wei Changsheng earnestly, and Wei Changsheng smiled gratifiedly.The story of Xiaochao wiping his tears with pepper powder appeared in his mind again, and he suddenly felt that the child's words were really unreliable.

However, compared to the romantic history and gossip in baskets packed by other ministers, Murong Duan is a bit too clean.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.Wei Changsheng felt that he should not underestimate this adult whom he had never met.

"Before the ritual prohibition, the law has already been implemented. The country cannot be ruled for a day, the law is the formula of the world, and the appearance of all things... Ritual is just a form, the standard is not uniform, and it is affected by the region and humanities. There is no definiteness. How can it be used as a tool for governing the country?...Propaganda of governing the country with propriety is just because the legal system is not sound enough...."

Murong Duan looked at the only paper with the etiquette sprayed into shit with satisfaction, and flipped through the names of the students, oh, coincidentally, it was Wei Changsheng from an innocent family again.

He remembered that Mr. Cheng suffers from lung disease. If this test paper is ranked first, he will probably be anxious and sick for several days.

Very good, let's do it.
