Zhu Cheng didn't know the trouble he left to the examiners. Shi Shiran stepped out of the tribute school and saw a group of people in uniform, pulling their swords and holding swords, guarding a carriage. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's corruption. I don't know which adult's son came to take the exam and sent so many people to protect him."

He forgot how he went into the yard yesterday. People always saw others enjoying privileges and forgot their arrogance.

A small figure rushed over from the carriage, shouting while running: "Brother Cheng, you are out, how are you doing in the exam?"

Zhu Cheng looked carefully and found that it was Zhu Youjian. He was still holding a piece of sesame cake in his hand, probably bought it on the roadside.

"Why are you waiting outside the Gongyuan? I will naturally go back after the exam. Just wait at home. The outside of the Gongyuan is hot. What if I have heatstroke?"

"Your Highness refuses to go back, you must wait for you here, and he also said that the longer he waits outside the tribute school, the better you will be in the exam." Wang Chengen said in the side.

Zhu Cheng was moved, hugged Zhu Youjian tightly and said, "Let's go, let's have a big meal."

They were about to take a carriage to go to the most famous Zuixianlou in the capital for dinner, a guard walked over and said, "Mr. Zhu, the factory said that if you finish the first exam, you will go to Tieshizi Hutong and he will treat the adults to dinner."

Zhu Cheng then realized that this person was originally a man from Dongchang.

Zhu Cheng looked back at Zhu Youjian and found that he did not show any displeasure. He smiled and said, "Let's go, I heard that Wei Zhongxian has an excellent chef at home and is very good at cooking. We have a good taste today."

The group came to Tieshizi Hutong, and Wei Zhongxian happened to come back from the court.

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Cheng coming, he asked in surprise: "Zhu Cheng, why are you back so soon? Have you finished the test paper?"

"I finished writing. I also checked it. There were no mistakes and missed it. So I handed in the paper and came out early."

"Oh, other scholars have not finished their work until they have been able to finish their work. Unexpectedly, Brother Cheng actually handed in advance. He is indeed a talented man from the Ming Dynasty. No wonder he dared to tell the emperor that he won six yuan in a row. I have already reported the Wenju and Wuju. Originally, Wenju and Wuju were held on the same day. The emperor said that in order to show our Ming Dynasty's martial arts style, the Wuju exam room is open to the public. When taking the bow, horse, stone arrows, you can visit with tickets. In order to let more people participate in this event, the date of the Wuju is postponed by a few days later. Brother Cheng, you are busy during this period. First, participate in the Wenju and then participate in the Wuju." As he said, Wei Zhongxian took out a few tickets from his arms and handed them to Zhu Youjian, saying, "Brother Cheng is a candidate, and there is no need to enter the venue. I know that your highness must be cheering for Lord Zhu, so I got a few tickets for you. This is the best place to leave for you. Then you can enter with tickets."

Zhu Cheng smiled and said, "Who made the idea of ​​buying tickets depends on the exam? The emperor's inner treasury has another extra income."

"Hehe, this idea is good, our family's suggestion. The emperor decided to hold a martial arts ceremony in the East School, where it can accommodate two thousand people, five cents of silver per ticket, which is more than one thousand taels. Although it is a little less, no matter how few mosquitoes are, it is meat. I still think that I will take the test in the future, and each ticket will be sold for one tael of silver, and the palace test, and each ticket will be sold for two taels of silver."

Zhu Youjian had a blind trust in Zhu Cheng, and felt that he could do anything, and said, "Brother Cheng, good luck, the first civil and military Jieyuan will appear in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that easy. The martial arts exam test is strategy theory, and I have no problem with this. But there is no big problem with horses among the bow and horse stone arrows. Since last year, I have practiced riding with you. We are already very skilled in some complicated horse movements. I don't know how to bow at all. I am used to shooting with muskets. Within a hundred steps, I can shoot a willow leaf. Stone is just weightlifting. I can lift two stones (about 120 kilograms) now. If it's heavy, it won't work, it's much worse than those adults."

Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Do you think the emperor didn't expect it? He had considered it long ago. The emperor said that big open firearms are now popular, and Chengzu swept the desert with firearms. In order to commemorate Emperor Chengzuwen, firearms can be used when shooting. As for weightlifting, don't worry. Our weight is considered comprehensively based on the weight and the weight of the objects being lifted. The heavier the weight, the heavier the object to be lifted."

"Isn't this giving Jie Yuan to Brother Cheng?"

Zhu Cheng said modestly: "Oh, you can't underestimate the enemy too much. As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountain and people outside the mountain. If you accidentally give Jie Yuan away."

However, the smile on his eyebrows clearly shows that Jie Yuan of this martial arts practice was decided.

Soon, the servant reported that the banquet had been prepared and several people headed to the living room together.

Wei Zhongxian was willing to spend money and prepare delicacies from the mountains; Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian were also very proud of their face and had a full meal. Zhu Cheng unexpectedly discovered that the mortal enemies in history, Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youjian, were actually laughing and laughing. He was grateful that his efforts to reconcile the relationship between them were not in vain, and history had changed. With Wei Zhongxian checking and balancing the Donglin Party, the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty would not sink.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Back at the children's playground, Wei Honglian handed Zhu Cheng a letter written by Ke Qingqing. The medical team was learning technology from Shi Longyou, a famous doctor in the capital. Ke Qingqing is the head of a hundred medical households and cannot follow Zhu Cheng to Shaanxi to build roads. The connection between the two depends entirely on Hongyan's communication of love.

Zhu Chengjun's face turned red, and despite Zhu Youjian's jokes, he hid in the inner room and read the letter.

The letter was very long, but there was no important content. It was just some gossip about family matters. Zhu Cheng read it with relish, as if he saw Ke Qingqing standing in front of him. He rubbed his eyes, and Ke Qingqing was really standing in front of him.

Zhu Cheng couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Ke Qingqing, you are a human or an immortal, why did you suddenly jump out of the letter?"

"It didn't jump out suddenly. When I came in, you were looking at something, but you didn't pay attention to it. Brother Cheng, what are you looking at so sensible?"

Zhu Cheng raised his heart and Ke Qingqing's face suddenly turned into a red apple.

"By the way, if you don't manage the medical households in the Huangzhuang, why do you go to Beijing? Of course I am very happy to see me. But now you are in the Jinyiwei and want to teach military law. I pretend not to see you, so you should go back to the Huangzhuang overnight."

"I know you are the most military law and orders must be done. However, I was ordered to come to the capital. The emperor issued an order to transfer hundreds of medical and nursing households to Beijing to take care of the scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam. These days, we are not busy. In a few days, there should be many injured people. We will be busy for a while."

"How did the emperor know that there are hundreds of medical households in the imperial village?"

"It was me who asked my aunt to ask the emperor to issue the order." Ke Qingqing said with a blushing face, "I heard that you are going to Beijing to take the exam, which is a big deal. I want to take care of you and cheer you up. But when I joined the Jinyiwei, I have the military law to control it, so I cannot leave at will. Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army and directly obeys the emperor, so I asked the emperor for the imperial edict. The emperor was also worried that the candidates were injured during the martial arts examination, so our medical and nursing households entered the capital."

Zhu Cheng frowned and said, "Kebaba actually interfered in military affairs, so she is a little too brave."

Zhu Cheng has always been gentle to Ke Qingqing. This time he got angry, which made Ke Qingqing feel uneasy. He probably made a big mistake this time and begged: "Brother Cheng, I was wrong this time, and I shouldn't beg my aunt. Don't be angry with Qingqing, okay?"

Zhu Cheng looked at Ke Qingqing's pitiful expression and felt soft in his heart, "Ask for instructions from above, no matter where he is. Everyone is like this, how can I manage it? Forget this time, but this is not allowed next time. The Jinyiwei in the Imperial Village is different from the Jinyiwei in other places. Always prepare for war, military orders must be strictly enforced, and orders are prohibited. And Kebaba... In the future, it is better for you to contact less."

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry with your aunt, okay?"

"It's not that you're angry, your aunt...you'll understand in the future. It's right to listen to me anyway."

The woman Ke Yinyue probably wanted to make her son born to Emperor Tianqi become emperor, and tried every means to make Emperor Tianqi lose his queen, but unfortunately she was too old to give birth to a son. After Emperor Tianqi was critically ill, she found many pregnant women, and tried to kill the emperor after the emperor's death. After the emperor's death, Li Daitaozun said that these children were the posthumous sons of Emperor Tianqi and took the Zhu family. Later, the matter was defeated and the nine clans were destroyed by Emperor Tianqi's younger brother Emperor Chongzhen. It was not a good thing to have something to do with her.

"Auntie lives in the capital, and I live in the imperial village. It's hard to meet in the future." Seeing Zhu Cheng insisting, Ke Qingqing had no choice but to say this.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

With the encouragement of Ke Qingqing and Zhu Youjian, Zhu Cheng felt that the next exam was particularly easy. Of course, the examiners were very upset. Zhu Cheng liked to make drafts and never used draft paper. The examiners had to write and draw on draft paper for him, and they looked like he had made drafts. Unfortunately, it was difficult for the examiners to imitate Zhu Cheng's beautiful calligraphy in style, so they could only scribble them casually. Fortunately, no one would pay attention to the difference between draft paper and the words on the test paper, and this level was calculated.

As soon as the third exam was over, all the candidates cheered - after these tense days, they finally felt relieved for a while.

Zhu Cheng sighed lightly. For him, this meant the beginning of another exam. Wen Ju, he could easily pass with four hundred years of wisdom; while Wu Ju, he could only fight with his physical strength in this life.
