Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Four: Caught Son-in-law
In the Daqing Palace, the five scholars were shocked by Shangguan's unhappy momentum and suddenly they didn't know what to say to refute.
At this time, Shangguan Yuntun took a step forward and said, "Mr. Shangguan, there are three reasons why you advocate that the new policy is not suitable for this year. First, the court lacks money and food. Second, other countries are eyeing each other, and the third is that it is easy to arouse turmoil in the court, right?"
Shangguan thought for a moment unhappy and said, "It is indeed these three, so I think it is not too late to start a new policy next year."
A faint smile appeared on Shangguan Yunton's face, and he suddenly felt confident.
"If we encounter famine next year, if the Northern Mongolian attacks again next year, then will we not implement administration because of this? I think the reform of the new policy has nothing to do with whether the money and food are sufficient, whether other countries provoke disputes again, and whether the scholars and officials will be angry or not. It is only related to the officials who implement the new policy."
"The setbacks encountered by the new policy are not something we can solve after thinking about it and wait. The suffering is there and will never disappear, and the solution we can only overcome."
"The three problems in the current new policy are redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant systems. If we wait for another year, not only will we not be able to solve any problems, but it will lead to the soldiers who should have retired from the army to come up with other means to force those who should have stayed in the military camp..."
Shangguan Wanton was as if someone had opened the Ren and Du meridians and was talking in the Daqing Hall. Several officials not far away even began to nod frequently.
After he finished speaking, Shangguan Buyue was naturally not willing to be outdone, and began to explain his views from other angles.
At this time, other scholars also began to join the war.
All five people knew that the content of the palace examination would definitely be related to the new policy, so they were quite familiar with the content of Zhao Yan's "Two Hundred New Policy Articles".
In the blink of an eye, the debate on the Daqing Palace entered a white-hot heat.
Six people stood in the middle of the hall, each of them spitting. As long as others paused for a moment, the other person quickly began to express their views.
Soon, Shangguan was unhappy and became a little tired, and gradually fell into a disadvantage in both words and arguments.
Zhao Yan sat on the dragon chaise, drinking black tea, listening to the debate, and couldn't help but feel very good.
Half an hour later, seeing that the six people were already talking, he immediately announced that the debate had ended.
Then, the palace examination ended.
As for the top scorer, the second scorer, who will be the first to fall in, the five scholars can only see on tomorrow's gold list.
After the five scholars left the hall, Zhao Yan said to Shangguan Buyue and Cai You: "You will also write down the top three names in your heart and give them to me."
The two of them bowed each other at the same time, and they had almost confirmed the candidates for the top three.
Zhao Yan went back to Chuigong Hall to rest.
...
The next day, just dawn, a wall outside the imperial city where the imperial list was often posted was surrounded by scholars.
Today is the day to release the gold list.
If it is famous on the list, it is that the carp turns into a dragon and goes straight to the sky. If it is not on the list, it can only wait for another three years.
However, there will be no more than 300 candidates who participated in the imperial examination.
The imperial examination system of the Great Zhou Dynasty followed the ancient system and was divided into three grades, the first grade, and was awarded the Jinshi and the first grade. There were three people, namely the top scorer, the second grade, and the Tanhua.
The second class is given the Jinshi origin, and the number of people varies. They are generally judged according to the test scores; the third class is given the same Jinshi origin, and the number of people varies.
At this moment, Wu Wenyuan, Liu Jingming, Ximen Dechu, Shangguan Wanton and others were also crowded in the crowd.
This sense of accomplishment of being a gold medallist may only be once in a lifetime, and everyone wants to witness it in person.
On the outermost side of the crowd, there were many carriages parked, and there were wealthy businessmen sitting in the carriages, and even the rich businessmen’s ladies, and there were many servants holding ropes outside.
This is the most famous son-in-law on the list in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, these servants would not really kidnap the famous scholars on the list, but would surround them and take them to their masters or ladies. If both parties are destined to be together, they may make a marriage on the spot.
Three years ago, more than a dozen scholars on the list went on a wedding night that night.
At this moment, at a corner, Zhao Yan and Heiwa were also looking around with excitement.
This is the first time Zhao Yan has seen a entertainment event like "the golden list" since he traveled through time, and there are also entertainment projects like "the son-in-law" below the list, so he naturally has to come and take a look.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
At this moment, drums came one after another. Under the protection of more than a dozen imperial guards, two officials from Jixianyuan strode over with a large rolled red paper.
Swish!
A long way was made out in an instant.
The surroundings also became quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes looked at the red list.
Heart, thumping!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
The sound of paste brushing on the walls came.
The list slowly spread and began to stick to the wall.
At this time, an official from Jixian Academy whispered: "In the third year of Longhe, a total of 255 soldiers were selected, 3 in the first class, 67 in the second class, and 185 in the third class."
Immediately, the list was posted, and the officials and soldiers left.
Boom!
At this moment, all the scholars rushed over.
"The top scholar Changdan Shangguan Yuntun!"
"Li Mubai, the second-level Shuzhou!"
"Tanhua Luzhou Ximen Dechu!"
The top three in the first class were naturally the most eye-catching, and someone immediately made a loud voice to spread it out.
Shangguan Wanton burst into tears when he saw his name at the top of the list. After studying for so many years, he finally got through it.
At this moment, Hangzhou Wu Wenyuan had a gray face and got to the front from the crowd.
"I...how could I not be a single player?"
He was on the gold list and only saw his name in the eighth place in the second place, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"I won, I won, 76th place in the third place, I am glorious for my Liu family!" A scholar ran wildly towards the street excitedly. He was probably destined to start a carnival tonight!"
"Haha, I have studied hard for decades, and God will not let me down! Tonight, I, Mr. Zhu, treat you to Tianxianglou, and the person who comes will have a share!" A scholar whistled to the sky, very excited.
...
And those who were not included in the Golden List are naturally lonely and will only wait three years before fighting.
At this moment, Zhao Yan saw a dark-skinned scholar not far away, being invited by several servants to a carriage next to him.
"Young Master Bai, just marry my lady, my family's thousand acres of fertile land, five shops, and six rice shops are all yours!"
The scholar lifted his clothes and was a little excited. He smiled and said, "Do you dare to ask where the lady is?"
Bang!
Zhao Yan only saw the carriage swaying for a while. A woman in a dress with a large figure and at least 300 pounds walked off the carriage.
"Young Master, I am very satisfied with you!" After that, the woman blinked her eyes specifically, and the flesh on her body was trembling.
A hint of surprise flashed across the scholar's face, and then suddenly bowed: "Xiaosheng feels that he is not worthy of the lady, so he said goodbye!"
After saying that, the scholar instantly got into the crowd.
"Haha!" Zhao Yan, not far away, couldn't help laughing out loud.
The fat girl turned her face and saw Zhao Yan. She suddenly had two big flush on her face, and she said shyly: "This young man is not bad, I... I am not picky about food!"
