Chapter 26 Thunderbolt

When Mr. Zhang was having enough food and drink at Eunuch Wei's mansion, it was almost the second update. It was getting late, and Mr. Zhang immediately offered to say goodbye. Wei Zhongxian did not try to keep him. He just personally led his son-in-law, nephew, nephew and confidant to send Mr. Zhang out of the house. First, it was because Wei Zhongxian accepted Mr. Zhang as his godson, and second, Wei Zhongxian still admired Mr. Zhang more and more, and wanted to take Mr. Zhang as his party member, so he gave Mr. Zhang enough face. But in this way, the whole capital city naturally had another activity. The civil and military officials were surprised by Wei Zhongxian's attention to Mr. Zhang, and heard the wind saying that Wei Zhongxian had accepted Mr. Zhang as his godson, so they naturally rushed to submit a report to Mr. Zhang and flatter him. This is not to mention this later.

"Godfather, take care of yourself, my child is leaving." After getting on the horse, Master Zhang respectfully bowed to Wei Zhongxian again. Until Wei Zhongxian nodded with a smile, Master Zhang hugged Wei Dangwuhu and Wei Zhongxian's nephew and son-in-law, and then led Zhang Shitou to the horse. Looking at Master Zhang's departure, Wei Zhongxian thought about something and refused to return to the room for a long time. Cui Chengxiu, the dog-headed military advisor next to him, came up and asked, "Nine Thousand Sui, what do you think you have taken this new godson?"

"What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian asked back. Cui Chengxiu carefully considered the words and replied carefully: "In the opinion of his ministers, since Zhang Haogu is openly an enemy of the Donglin thief party in the Imperial College, his loyalty to Jiu Qiansu should be unquestionable. He is also quick-witted and eloquent, and should be worthy of use. But this person is too slippery and skilled in flattery, and he doesn't know if he can do practical things or big things."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and pondered, "We have a similar impression of him. We are just worried that he can't do practical things by talking too much. But it doesn't matter. When he finishes the palace examination and gets a real job, our family will assign him a few more things to know if he is a capable person." Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian stretched his face a little and snorted: "It's not this what we worry about the most, but that he mentioned Xiong Tingbi's affairs in front of our family. If he wants to use tricks to overturn Xiong Tingbi's case, our family will not tolerate him! Humph, Xiong Tingbi's old thief, even our family dares to cheat, our family can't spare him!"

"Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh!" In the night wind, the young master Zhang, who was not good at riding, sneezed twice in a row and almost fell off his horse. Zhang Shitou, who was scared, quickly held him and asked with concern: "Young master, is it cold by the night wind? Otherwise, you are a little aggrieved and let the little one take off his coat and put it on for you?"

"It's okay, my nose is a little itchy." Master Zhang rubbed his nose and replied. Zhang Shitou asked curiously again: "By the way, Master, why did you match the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei and his son just now? Did you worship him as your godfather?" It's okay if Zhang Shitou didn't mention this. When Master Zhang mentioned it, he was full of anger. Seeing that there was no one around, Master Zhang lowered his voice and cursed: "Fuck! Who would recognize a eunuch as his godfather? It was the shameless old eunuch who insisted on accepting me as his godson. I had no choice but to agree."

"Young Master, don't be angry, in fact, you won't suffer any loss in this matter." Zhang Shitou comforted: "I heard from people that Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was obviously seventeen or eighteen years older than Jiu Qiansui, and he still recognized Jiu Qiansui as his godfather. You are much younger than Jiu Qiansui. You are not confused about your seniority even if you recognize Jiu Qiansui as your godfather. And it will be much easier for you to get promoted and make money in the future."

"Oh, don't look at the joyful dance now, I'm afraid I'll get a list in the future." Master Zhang lamented with a frown, and couldn't help but think of the tragedy of the Wei Party being liquidated by Chongzhen after Wei Zhongxian's fall. He suddenly remembered something and quickly ordered Zhang Shitou: "Shitou, after getting up tomorrow morning, you can go out to find out what the palace examination is. Today, Old Man Wei mentioned several palace examinations and said that I have to pass what the palace examination can arrange an official position. You can inquire carefully and see what the palace examination is called the palace examination!"

"District Examination? What's that?" Zhang Shitou, who was also a semi-illiterate native of a local bun, was also confused and could only nod and answer: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely find out for you tomorrow."

"The faster the better." Master Zhang said with a serious face and worriedly: "I always have a premonition that this palace examination seems to ruin my business."

…………

The crow of Master Zhang was unfortunately speaking. Early the next morning, Master Zhang was lying on the bed with his butt naked and was snoring and drooling, Zhang Shitou, who went out to inquire about the news, stumbled into the room. Before the person entered the room, he shouted: "Young Master, get up quickly, something big is bad, something big is bad!"

"What happened?" Master Zhang opened his eyes and asked vaguely. Zhang Shitou screamed: "Of course it's the palace examination! I'll find out clearly. Master, the last exam you took was called a metropolitan examination. Whether you won the top scorer or Tanhua, you have to take the palace examination on March 15th. The emperor personally sets the questions for you who have passed the Jinshi. Those of you who have passed the Jinshi can re-rank the rankings. If you don't do well, you may fail." Speaking of this, Zhang Shitou lowered his voice and attached it to Master Zhang's ear and said tremblingly: "If you are found cheating during the palace examination, you will have to land."

"What? Are you sure you're right?" Master Zhang was hit by lightning and jumped up from the bed with his bare butt again. Zhang Shitou quickly closed the door, lowered his voice and said with a sad face: "Young Master, this is related to your brain. Do you dare to make a mistake?"

"It's over! I was really cheated by that old man Liu Baorui this time!" Master Zhang wailed. In fact, Master Zhang had long felt that something was wrong, because when Master Zhang was watching braids, he saw the plot of candidates taking the exam in the Golden Palace. However, the story of upgrading to the third level in the textbook did not mention the palace examination at all, so Master Zhang thought that the candidates taking the exam in the Golden Palace was a matter of the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not need to take the exam like this - but this cannot be entirely blamed on our Master Zhang's shallow historical knowledge. The key is that in the 21st century, the TV series was full of legends and unifying the world, and there was no territory for Han historical dramas at all, so Master Zhang didn't know that there were palace examinations in the Ming Dynasty...

From this we can see that the brainwashing harms of the brainless drama are not only very great.

"It's over, it's over, this time it's over!" Master Zhang hugged his head and buried his head in the quilt and screamed silently, "This time it's miserable! I can't even write simplified Chinese essays. What should I use to write essays in traditional Chinese? And I have to write with a brush. I only know how to use a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen! What should I do?!"

"Young Master, don't worry, today is the sixth day of the third month, and we still have time to find a way." Although Zhang Shitou was also confused, he still loyally found clothes to put on his eldest son Zhang, and lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, why don't you do this? Anyway, you have already worshipped Jiu Qiansui as your godfather. You might as well explain the truth to Jiu Qiansui and ask Jiu Qiansui to come forward and plead for you."

"Do you want to harm me?" Master Zhang replied angrily: "Why did the old eunuch Wei accept me as his godson? Because he thought I had a lot of knowledge and wanted me to be a dog and bite him. Now I ran to tell him that I didn't know a word. Tanhua's fame was awesome, and he had to kill me the first one!"

"Yes...that's the reason." Zhang Shitou shivered and quickly changed his words: "Then can I do this? Anyway, we still have some money in our hands. Let's find a way to buy the test questions, and do it in advance to bring them into the examination room. Then, just change the test papers."

Zhang Shitou's method is a bit reliable, so Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, Master Zhang shook his head and said, "No, the emperor personally set the questions in the palace examination. Where can we buy the exam questions? Besides, since it is an exam, we must search. There are still hundreds of civil and military officials staring at each other. If it is discovered, can my little head still be kept?" Speaking of this, Master Zhang added in his stomach, "Do you think it was the civil servant exam I took in the previous life? There is also an interview after passing the written exam. No matter how good the exam is, it is useless to fail the interview. No matter how bad the exam is, it will be fine."

"Then, what should we do now?" Both ideas were rejected, and Zhang Shitou had no idea. In desperation, Zhang Shitou had no choice but to suggest: "Young Master, since there is no other way, let's just run away! With nine days left, we will run back to Linqing to discuss with the master before we talk."

"Run?" Master Zhang's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself. Since I can't pass the palace exam, I can still run? Run back to Linqing to hide for a few days first. If the old eunuch Wei sends someone to arrest me, I will disguise myself as a name and hide in other places. China is so big, I don't believe that the old eunuch Wei can reach all the hands? Let's take a step back, even if I really can't stay in China, I can still escape overseas! Anyway, I don't need a passport to go abroad in this era. I will escape to the current United States and Canada. When my descendants return to China in the future, they will be returned to China! Haha, that's it! After thinking about this, Master Zhang jumped up again and shouted: "Stone, pack up, go back to Linqing now!"

"Yes." Zhang Shitou did not object this time, so he quickly packed his luggage and was about to leave. Master Zhang ordered again: "You can't bring your clothes, don't refund the money in the store, just take the money with you. You should make others think we still live here, but we have just gone out to play for a few days." Zhang Shitou hurriedly packed up and agreed, and asked again: "Young Master, what are we going this time?"

"Take a waterway!" Master Zhang replied firmly: "First go to the canal dock to hire a boat, which is to say it is a tour of the canal scenery. When we leave the capital, we will use silver to smash the seasick house and ask him to send us back to Linqing."
