Great Wei scholar

"I've seen Brother Chao Ge."

Xu Qingxiao bowed again.

The latter also returned a gift.

Immediately, Chaoge continued to speak: "Brother Qingxiao, I feel that some memories are recovering. Think about it first. If I can help you find a way to solve the strange magic, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Chao Ge said so, not forgetting Xu Qingxiao's current troubles.

Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao was a little moved, as expected of a semi-saint, his conduct is good.

"If that's the case, I won't bother Brother Chaoge anymore, brother Yu will leave."

Xu Qingxiao nodded. In fact, he was eager for Chaoge to restore his memory. Even if he couldn't think of something to solve the trouble of the strange art, at least it would be good to remember some other things.

You can give pointers to yourself.

"Thank you, brother Qingxiao."

Chaoge still thanked Xu Qingxiao, and Xu Qingxiao didn't bother him anymore, and withdrew from the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace. As for Chaoge, he instantly turned into a statue and stood in the Wen Palace, recalling his life experience.

April nine.

As a golden sun pierced the darkness, Nanyu Mansion became lively again. Since tomorrow was the mansion examination, it was much quieter in comparison, at least the streets were much less noisy.

The area around restaurants has also been cleared up a lot.

Tomorrow is the government test.

Xu Qingxiao stayed in the restaurant like other Confucian scholars.

Except for Xiaoer who brought some food, no one bothered him.

The government test is coming soon.

Xu Qingxiao's mentality is very calm. After all, it is impossible to get a ranking, and it is already thankful to be shortlisted.

The education in the previous life only made Xu Qingxiao familiar with some poems and songs.

As for the article, Xu Qingxiao didn't read it at all, that is, he learned how to write articles at Zhou Ling's home.

But this article writing is just some rules, how to write at the beginning, how to write in the middle, and how to write at the end, including some words.

Really want to write, Xu Qingxiao thinks that he can't write any peerless articles.

But if you can't write, it doesn't mean you can't study hard.

Xu Qingxiao didn't study the writing method of the article, and Xu Qingxiao slowly wrote four words on the white paper.

【Yasukuni】

【Xingguo】

This is the teacher's bet, and the Fu Jun's bet is also Anguo.

But Xu Qingxiao's eyes fell on Xingguo.

Anguo and Xingguo actually have something in common in essence. Thinking of what everyone said at the banquet a few days ago, Xu Qingxiao had some thoughts.

If you take Anguo as the topic.

Most of the attention will indeed be on the northern barbarians or the border.

If you don't kill the barbarians, how can you stabilize the country?

Uncertain borders, how can we secure the country?

But if this is the case, then this year's government test does not need to be so grand.

In the past few days when he was reading at Bailu Academy, what Xu Qingxiao read most was history books, especially modern history.

If you want to get along well in this world, understanding history is the most important thing, especially if you are a scholar.

If you need to enter the officialdom in the future, you will be nothing more than a civil servant or a military officer.

Let yourself choose, Xu Qingxiao definitely wants to choose a military officer, practice martial arts if you have nothing to do, fight when you see someone unhappy, lose money if you win, buy a house if you lose, life must be very happy.

But whether you are a civil servant or a military officer, if you want to enjoy it safely, you must have a deep understanding of court battles.

The struggle in the court, in detail, is the formation of cliques, civil and military confrontation, power, economy, and various factors.

But roughly speaking, it is actually the Emperor's Game.

A wise gentleman will reason with you, and a tyrant will overturn the table with you.

Fortunately, the current Holy Master is a reasonable person.

According to the routine, Xu Qingxiao learned a piece of information from modern history.

Da Wei is very poor.

Even poor to the extreme.

During the seven Northern Expeditions, there were ghosts only if they were poor.

Since he is poor, at this time he is still muttering that I am going to the Northern Expedition, I want to lead everyone to conquer the northern barbarians, choose me as the leading brother, and I want to hit the moon, so I will definitely not be welcomed by the emperor.

So Xu Qingxiao didn't want to write an article based on the point of the 'Northern Expedition'.

Instead, write articles from the point of 'economy'.

Xu Qingxiao can't guarantee whether what she thinks can meet the emperor's wishes.

But at least there is a saying that is good, good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a million.

It's so boring to write about the Northern Expedition, but writing an economic article can at least make people's eyes shine.

Maybe the emperor liked it and praised it for two rounds, even if he failed the government test, it still left a good impression.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingxiao continued to think about it.

In this way, each piece of blank paper was filled with words by Xu Qingxiao.

However, the words on the white paper are all simplified characters, and the content is also mixed.

Why don't you accept gifts during the holidays this year, why only black silk is good in the world, it's weird.

Until Yinshi the next day.

It's not yet dawn.

The knock on the door woke Xu Qingxiao who was in deep thought.

"Qingxiao."

It was senior brother Chen Xinghe's voice.

Xu Qingxiao got up immediately, and after opening the door, she saw Chen Xinghe with a cold face standing in front of her.

"Brother Qingxiao, I have met my brother."

I haven't seen my senior brother for a few days, and seeing him again, I feel more and more that my senior brother has an extraordinary temperament.

"In two more hours, it will be the time when the government examination starts. Come with me to the government courtyard, so as not to delay the time and ruin the big event."

Chen Xinghe was the same as before, nothing changed.

"Thank you brother for reminding me."

Xu Qingxiao nodded and followed Chen Xinghe without packing anything.

The two went downstairs. At this time, Wang Ru and several Confucian scholars were standing downstairs. When they saw Chen Xinghe again, they smiled lightly.

But after seeing Xu Qingxiao, each and everyone's eyes showed excitement.

Seeing all this, Chen Xinghe felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

I also inexplicably recalled what happened at the banquet a few days ago.

But soon, Chen Xinghe calmed down.

Due to the shame of the banquet, he has not stepped out of the room for the past few days. There is no other reason, and he is studying the article of the government.

Chen Xinghe definitely wouldn't blame Xu Qingxiao for anything, it was just embarrassing himself.

But he still has the desire to win. His first reaction was to be happy when his junior brother made the most famous words.

It's just writing.

Articles are the most important thing for Confucian scholars.

Chen Xinghe didn't look down on Xu Qingxiao, but felt that Xu Qingxiao had only been in school for a month. Although he was really talented, he couldn't be quick.

In the capital test, he, Chen Xinghe, must let Xu Qingxiao know that a senior is a senior.

We must also let the literati in Nanyu Mansion know that he, Chen Xinghe, is extremely talented.

Of course, there was one thing that made Chen Xinghe uncomfortable, and that was the matter of Xu Qingxiao's entry.

My teacher didn't tell Xu Qingxiao that he had entered the product, which made me say so many shameful words in front of Xu Qingxiao.

now think of it.

shame!

shame!

What a shame!

call.

Letting out a calm breath, Chen Xinghe regained his inner peace.

The test of the capital.

It is his test to prove himself.

Brother Qingxiao.

Let the seniors tell you what talent is.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinghe walked out of the inn, while the others followed beside him.

No one spoke a word along the way.

But his eyes all fell on the mansion.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Qingxiao came to Nanyu Mansion.

At this time, outside the mansion, it was already overcrowded.

Chapter 46: The government examination begins, and the test questions are Anguo

Since ancient times, the Academy of Arts assessed by literati has been relatively simple.

Especially after Zhu Sheng, extravagance and waste were eliminated, and simplicity became beautiful, and even various places began to be poorer, especially in terms of literati.

Of course, the tribute court of the imperial examination is different. After all, it involves the royal family, the Great Wei Dynasty.

The tribute courtyard in Nanyu Prefecture is a bit shabby, without tiles and bricks, and haystacks are used to pave the buildings.

There is no such thing as gold paint on the plaque, and everything looks austere.

At this time, before the time of Mao, the entire Nanyu Mansion Gongyuan was already full of talented scholars.

At the gate of the mansion, there were even twenty policemen standing with long knives, looking at everyone sternly.

Literati examinations, whether it is the imperial examination or the government examination, are extremely strict, but there are frauds, ranging from being banned from official positions for life, to being sent for three thousand miles.

This is no joke.

Just a glance, there are only [-] arrests in the mansion, which is obviously a little small. It stands to reason that the government examination should be the most important thing in Nanyu Mansion at present, and it shouldn't be so few.

Before thinking about it carefully, many people gathered around at this time.

"Your Excellency is Xu Wangu, Xu Qingxiao, Brother Xu, right?"

Someone came over and bowed to Xu Qingxiao.

"I don't dare to do it forever, it is Xu Qingxiao, everyone?"

Xu Qingxiao recovered from his thoughts, looked at the few people in front of him with some curiosity, and at the same time felt a bit of a toothache for this title.
