The next morning, a series of major news made the originally uneasy Luoyang City even more lively. Yu Wenhua and his army led their troops to conduct night searches in Luoyang City, and captured dozens of unknown people from several inns and taverns.￥f.￥f

Some people say they are undercover agents of the bandits, while others say they are spies from the Bohai Society, and there are various statements.

But soon, another new news came out. The former general Yuan Min drew his sword in front of the mansion to commit suicide. Yuan Min was a descendant of the Northern Wei royal family, the head of the Yuan family, and the core figure of the Guanlong nobles. His suicide undoubtedly had a significant impact on the situation of the Guanlong nobles and the Sui Dynasty, and various speculations arose.

Especially the person who threatened him to commit suicide was still Yu Wenji, which made people connect the two things. Is there any internal connection between the night search and Yuan Min's suicide?

But another unexpected effect was that Yu Wenhua, who appeared twice, became a celebrity in Luoyang. When did Yu Wenhua and he had always been widely spread in Luoyang as the image of a rogue boy.

Now he has turned into General Yuwen and forced General Yuan Min to death. It is simply incredible. Could it be that the prodigal son turned back? There are many different opinions, but the real insider understands that Yuwen Shu probably has not had much time left.

However, as the imperial examination was officially released at noon, the focus of public opinion in Luoyang City quickly changed, Yuan Min and Yu Culture were quickly abandoned. The imperial examination examination was attracted by everyone's attention with its bright halo, and cheers kept ringing in the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

The list of two thousand people was covered with the outer wall of the Imperial College. Tens of thousands of scholars were crowded by the wall, trying hard to find their names. The crowd was filled with people and the crowd was filled with enthusiasm, which made the outside of the Imperial College so crowded.

The Wenqu Restaurant located in Nan City was filled with scholars who came to celebrate the list. Upstairs and downstairs were filled with clinking laughter.

In an elegant room on the third floor, more than a dozen children of Hebei gentry gathered together to drink and drink. Cui Wenxiang, the leader, was quite excited. He did not do well in the exam, but this year's expansion saved his life, making him finally make it on the list in two thousand.

Several other children of Hebei gentry were on the list with him. Although most of the dozen people in the room were not on the list, it did not affect their wine and celebration for Cui Wenxiang.

"I'm going to wish you a drink!"

Bai Xinyang raised his glass and smiled: "Brother Zhu Wenxiang will be able to hide his charm in the golden house after high school!"

Everyone laughed together, and everyone knew that Cui Wenxiang was desperately pursuing Lu Zhuo's daughter Lu Qing, who was recognized as the number one beauty in Hebei's family. Everyone clamored, "A handsome man and beautiful woman, a good marriage from God. Wenxiang should hurry up, but don't miss the opportunity."

Cui Wenxiang narrowed her eyes and raised her glass and drank it all. Although he pursued Lu Qing because Lu Qing was extremely beautiful, more importantly, he wanted to gain the position of heir to the Cui family head, and marriage with the Lu family's daughter would become a powerful bargaining factor for him to attack the heir to the head of the family head.

"Being loved by everyone, Wenxiang will definitely not disappoint everyone. We will embrace the beauty as soon as possible!"

Everyone laughed together. At this time, Cui Wenxiang glanced at him and saw that Li Qingming was smiling a little reluctantly. He suddenly remembered that Li Qingming once said, "The talent of Cui's family is not about legitimate illegitimate illegitimate", which is clearly ridiculing himself for being talentless.

Cui Wenxiang raised her eyebrows and smiled at Li Qingming: "I am actually very sad that Qingming missed the exam this time. But I hope Qingming will not be discouraged and come back next year!"

Li Qingming smiled and said, "To be honest, although the scholars on the list were very happy these two days, I am afraid that many people will cry in a few days."

Everyone didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Qingming, what does this mean?"

Li Qingming picked up the wine glass and said calmly: "It's very simple. It's too easy to be a top, but it's difficult to be an official. Two thousand people are on the top. Can the court give out two thousand positions?"

Cui Wenxiang shook her head, "This is a bad thing in Qingming. I heard that the reason why the emperor decided to expand the ranking ten times this time was mainly to enrich the local government and facilitate the imperial court to control the local government. There are more than a thousand counties in the world, and two people are sent to one county, but not many two thousand people."

Li Qingming sighed softly, "Wenxiang thinks things too simple. If you don't say it far away, just take it to Hebei! Will Wenxiang in Qinghe County be willing to go? There are also Bohai County, Hejian County, Xindu County, Pingyuan County, and Shanggu County. There are many positions in these counties. If Brother Wenxiang is asked to be the county magistrate, will Wenxiang be willing to go?"

Everyone was silent. The places Li Qingming said were controlled by the bandits, Dou Jiande, Gao Shida, Ge Qian, Lu Mingyue, Wei Daoer and other bandit leaders. They were the rulers of these counties and counties. The officials appointed by the court either fled, were killed, or surrendered.

Cui Wenxiang's face changed a few times, and she said coldly: "With the status of the Boling Cui clan, I, Cui Wenxiang, will not have fallen to this point!"

Li Qingming smiled, "Of course I'm not talking about Brother Wenxiang. I'm just saying that two thousand people are on the list. The court will not be able to provide so many positions. At that time, there will be more monks and less porridge, and there will be another fierce competition. Of course, with Brother Wenxiang's father's status and family background, such small things are not to be considered at all, but it will be difficult for poor families to say."

Cui Wenxiang's face became increasingly ugly. He still felt that Li Qingming was ridiculing his father's family background. At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Lu Qingyuan hurried in, "Sorry, I'm late!"

Lu Qingyuan's arrival immediately eased the awkward atmosphere in the room. Cui Wenxiang quickly gave up the seat beside her and greeted: "Qingyuan, sit here!"

Cui Wenxiang is a very realistic person. Since he is pursuing Lu Qingyuan, how could he not win over Lu Qingyuan's future brother-in-law?

Moreover, Lu Qingyuan is well-informed and can find some important news from him, so Cui Wenxiang is particularly enthusiastic about Lu Qingyuan's cousin.

Lu Qingyuan took off his outer robe and sat down. Cui Wenxiang poured him a glass of wine and asked with a smile: "Is there any news to tell us?"

Everyone raised their ears, Lu Qingyuan took a sip of wine and smiled, "It's a little news! It's a little bit, but I guess everyone knows it, so I don't want to say more."

"Qingyuan, don't keep it a secret, speak it out quickly!" Everyone urged with a smile.

"Okay! Then I'll tell you about it."

Lu Qingyuan lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Ministry of Personnel is very dissatisfied with this expansion of recruitment, but because it is a holy intention, he can only dare not speak out. According to a rumor, the Ministry of Personnel can only guarantee an official position of one adult at present."

"One adult!"

Everyone exclaimed, "Isn't it possible to arrange official positions only for two hundred people? What should I do if the other 1,800 people?"

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Everyone, this is just a rumor. You can't take it seriously. Don't spread it, otherwise I can't afford to be guilty."

Even though he said that, everyone's hearts were still heavy. Li Qingming said before that the court could not afford so many official positions. Although he knew that it was impossible to solve them all, he never expected that he could only solve 10% of the people on the list. This is really too bad. Since he is unable to solve the problem, why should he admit so many people?

Cui Wenxiang was not in a hurry. He was the legitimate son of the Cui family in Boling, and his father was also the Minister of Works. Even if there were fewer official positions, he would have a share. At this time, he was more concerned about Lu Zhuo's attitude towards him, which was directly related to whether his proposal was successful.

"Qingyuan, is my uncle at home these two days?" Cui Wenxiang asked with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"Unfortunately, my father went to Chang'an to inspect the Imperial College yesterday and had to go to Chengdu next. I'm afraid he won't be at home for a month."

"oh!"

Cui Wenxiang nodded with a smile, raised her glass and said, "Come on! I'll have a cup of Jingqingyuan."

The craze for the imperial examinations has not yet faded in Luoyang City. Cui Wenxiang came to Lu Mansion in the afternoon. He brought more than a dozen of top-quality lake silk brocades and a pair of top-quality Yuezhou celadon bottles. He knew his aunt and uncle's preferences very well. His aunt liked good lake silk, while his uncle liked to collect porcelain.

Cui Wenxiang waited for a moment in the inner hall, and Mrs. Lu Cui walked into the inner hall surrounded by several maids. Cui Wenxiang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "My little nephew Wenxiang gave her a greeting to her aunt!"

Mrs. Lu likes this nephew very much and wants to marry her daughter to him. Although her daughter is not willing, her daughter's attitude is not important. The key is that her husband does not petition the Cui Lu family to marry, which makes Mrs. Lu very depressed these days.

Seeing that her nephew was polite, she couldn't help but smile and said, "How was the imperial examination?"

"Reporting to my aunt and my nephew's high school gold list, I didn't disappoint my aunt."

"Very good, it didn't disappoint me."

Cui Wenxiang quickly opened the lid of the gift box and smiled: "This is my nephew's filial piety to my aunt and uncle. Please don't dislike me."

"How could my aunt dislike the gift my nephew gave me?"

Mrs. Lu walked up to look at her. She was very satisfied. It was not the gift itself, but Cui Wenxiang's filial piety. Of course, she knew what her nephew wanted, so she smiled and said, "Sit down! My aunt will tell you about your cousin." (To be continued.)
