Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Different from the three-year change of civil service, the five-year military service becomes a round of grinding.

It took Qi Luo more than ten years of hard work to move from an eighth-rank Gu Peng razor clam to a sixth-rank official in the Imperial City Company.

As long as he is different from Lu Cibi who is promoted so fast and soars like a monster, he is content.

After congratulating Di Qing well, Qi Luo smiled and patted the steed that he honestly let him lead, and joked: "Anyway, I have been a disciple under my hand for a period of time, so I don't think so. I forgot to get on the horse—"

Before the word "ba" was uttered, Di Qing took off as swiftly as a fish leaping, borrowing strength from his side arm on the saddle so fast that even the horse didn't have time to react, he just turned his head in doubt, and the general Shuai Ke The leader is already sitting firmly on the horseback.

"What a handsome move."

Qi Luo's eyes lit up, and he praised: "I have practiced under your brother Lu for several years, and the battlefield is really not in vain. The horse riding skills alone are better than me."

"Brother Qi is absurd," Di Qing said blushingly, "I dare not be my little brother."

"The green is better than the blue because of the blue," Lu Ci graciously accepted this praise for Di Qing, and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, just follow me to serve the old."

Di Qing: "..."

Seeing Di Qing's expression change from capable to uneasy, Qi Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Luo saw that the time was almost up, and he didn't dare to delay any more.

He led the horse and walked ahead. Although Di Qing felt uncomfortable, he had to sit on the horse and let the horse pace slowly.

What made Di Qing feel like he was sitting on pins and needles the most was not the admiring gazes cast by the people along the way, but the Lu Ci who was walking slowly beside him, wearing a bamboo hat.

...Even if the voices of the people are loud, he can easily capture the clear chuckle of his lover.

The more nervous Di Qing was, the more tense his face became.

Leaving aside the imposing Qi Luo in formal attire, and the rare steed horse, just Di Qing's expressionless handsome side face, beautiful and neat figure, and mature and stable aura, It immediately attracted the attention of countless passers-by.

After all, admission to the imperial examination is not as lively and grand as the admission to the imperial examination. Many people saw this eye-catching battle, but they didn't know why, so they couldn't help asking the people around them.

When they were cleared up, there was a sound of exclamation.

——What a young and handsome man!

Although they didn't intend to join in the fun, they were attracted by the noise and couldn't help casting envious glances. There was also Jin Kegong, who had just entered the test field with great ambitions, but got bad news.

Juzi He surnamed looked listlessly on the second floor. When Di Qing passed by, he couldn't help but said sourly: "Well, although a background in a system is better than a Jinshi background, but being a chicken head is better than not being able to do it." Fengwei is better."

If it weren't for the fact that the first exam of the system was held on the same day as the exam, people wouldn't be able to take advantage of the two exams at the same time.

This time is good, he was reluctant to give up the orthodox tribute examination, and missed this one-term department that might be an unprecedented relaxation of conditions.

With his talent and learning, he can't rank in the tribute exams. Maybe if he touches the questions well, he can be among the best in the academic department?

"You can take a break." Lin Juzi at the table next to him couldn't hear this, and immediately retorted: "There have been very few testers since the opening of the imperial court. You and I can't even pass the test. Thinking about taking the top spot?"

He Juzi was not convinced and said: "Who doesn't know that the officials are benevolent and attach great importance to the system of disciplines, maybe in order to break the rules, the quota is specially relaxed, so they will use six people at once?"

"Looking at his young age, but with such momentum, he must not be an ordinary weapon, but has real talents." Yan Juzi nodded without saving face, and agreed with what Lin Juzi said earlier: "It's better to think about something unrealistic." It is better to be down-to-earth and study more to prepare for the next three years."

As soon as Yan Juzi said these words, many people who were as jealous as He Juzi were, and nodded in agreement with embarrassment.

He Juzi felt very unhappy when he was ridiculed by their barbed words.

It's just that he and Yan and Lin Juzi are from the same hometown, and their grades have always been better than his. When he said those words, even if he refuted, he didn't have much confidence, so he could only hold his breath and look away.

At this moment, he glanced at a person who deliberately hid in a corner, never raised his head, let alone participated in the lively discussion.

After recognizing that person, his eyes lit up instantly, he walked forward with a smile, and patted the other person's shoulder: "When did Yuan Lang come? Why didn't you say hello?"

Yuan Juzi frowned unnaturally, and reluctantly said: "Seeing that you have a good chat, I don't want to disturb you."

"Why are you so out of touch?" He Juzi said hypocritically, "I happen to have something to ask you."

Yuan Juzi responded patiently, and He Juzi asked curiously: "Didn't you pass the court test, why didn't you find your name and surname in the list of the court?"

Yuan Juzi, who was inexplicably called out by name and had his old scars poked, didn't want to suppress his unhappiness anymore, so he stood up suddenly and said angrily: "That's because I'm more self-aware than complaining about others, knowing myself Talented and uneducated, skills are not as good as others!"

He Juzi was caught off guard, and was sprayed all over his face with saliva, and was stunned for a long time in disbelief, Yuan Juzi had already walked away angrily, and it was too late for him to scold him angrily.

It is not uncommon to fail in the solution test, but hold the same sour mentality as He Juzi.

Even Yuan Juzi, who got a big blush in the bow horse test and witnessed the gap between himself and Di Qing, was actually aggrieved in his heart.

The so-called qualified generals are naturally selected by Confucian generals.

As a Confucian general, with tens of thousands of soldiers in his chest, it is enough to plan a strategy in the army tent, why do he have to test his martial arts to kill the enemy like a martial artist?

At a certain street stall, Ichiro-kun was drinking millet porridge leisurely, without being disturbed by the bustle around him at all.

After staying for a while, Yi just squeezed into the crowd to find out, sweating profusely, panting for breath, and sat down on the seat opposite him again, enviously said: "So Di Hanchen, the leader of the department, was born so young!"

That Lang Jun calmly drank the remaining porridge in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then added: "He is the same age as you and me."

"Same age but different fate!" His friend sighed, picked up half of the battered bread, and stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately: "It's the first time you and I have ended up, and we haven't even passed the test. Go back to Hanchuang to study hard, and wait for the next three years. It was also his first time to finish, but he won the championship in one fell swoop..."

Although one's background in the academic department is not as good as a serious Jinshi's background in the eyes of Shih Lin, but it cannot be held back by the officials!

When it comes to official career and promotion, most people have to work hard for their qualifications and wait for the test, but there are also a very small number of people who are simple in the emperor's heart, so they soar into the sky and rise to the top.

Lu Ci, who presided over the department this time, is not the best example.

While he was muttering, the person across from him who had finished his breakfast leisurely, didn't feel discouraged at all, instead he smiled and said: "If you say it this way, you should be more envious, wouldn't it be Lu Jiedu?"

"That's a world of difference!" His friend shook his head like a rattle: "Of course it's hard to imagine. In comparison, Di Hanchen is a little closer."

"It doesn't matter whether it's far or near," he snorted softly when he heard the despondency and timidity in these words, his eyes were full of fighting spirit: "Doesn't it depend on talent in the end?"

"Hey, I really don't know whether to say that you are arrogant because of your talent, or that you don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

His friend shook his head helplessly, swallowed the last few noodles, and said inarticulately, "Go back to the hotel and pack your bags, my Han Lang!"

Han Qi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his friend's arm on his shoulder. He could only frowned, and was dragged away by someone.

At this moment, Di Qing, who was forced to ride horses through the streets, did not have the leisure to pay attention to other people's thoughts.

All his attention was on Lu Ci, who was not far or near at the back.

Even though he knew it was inappropriate and Qi Luo repeatedly reminded him, he still couldn't stop turning his head to look back frequently.

——He is used to being half a body behind the grandfather and following him, but he has never had the experience of being turned around by the grandfather and following behind, smiling and watching him all the time.

It wasn't until Lu Ci saw that he was really cramped, so he had to raise his voice to remind him to 'concentrate', and then he calmed down. Apart from feeling uneasy all over his body, he didn't move around in the end.

In the long torment, the expressionless Di Qing finally made it to the palace gate.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to get off his horse, and without thinking about thanking Qi Luo, he walked up to Lu Ci first: "Grandpa!"

"I can only take you here, and if you go inside, brother Qi has to take you."

Lu Ci pretended not to see the tears in Di Qing's eyes, nodded at Qi Luo with a smile, then reached out and patted Xiao Haitang on the shoulder: "Come in."

He suddenly lowered his voice, and added with a smile at a volume that only Di Qing could hear: "...my beloved department No.1."

The reason why he walked behind the little raccoon slave was really not out of his intention to make fun of Di Qing and embarrass Di Qing.

He just wanted to watch with his own eyes from behind, personally guard Di Qing's most glorious starting point, and accompany him on the broad and bright road.

Di Qing: "..."

Hearing this sentence unexpectedly, before he had any reaction, the roots of his ears slapped uncontrollably, completely reddening.

Considering that Di Qing was going to be introduced by the officials soon, Lu Ci couldn't make any further flirting moves, so he pushed away a step, blinked at the little lover quickly, then turned and left with a smile.

Qi Luo, who had a panoramic view of this scene, couldn't help but sighed, and said with a lot of emotion: "Although you are not brothers connected by blood, you are much closer than most brothers."

Surprised by Qi Luo's words, Di Qing didn't dare to indulge in his thoughts anymore. He simply calmed down and was about to reply when he heard Qi Luo casually mentioning: "When you are appointed as an official, [-]% of you have to be with my younger brother." Separate, you have to cherish this time."

Di Qing was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly fell silent.

When the hot ears gradually returned to normal, he hurried on his way, and then he replied calmly: "Thank you brother Qi for reminding me, I...understand."

He has long been prepared.

Compared to being a good-for-nothing who receives the favor of his father-in-law all day long and spends all his efforts, he can't repay half of the pain...

After all, the taste of being apart for a short time and fighting together with a tacit understanding is much better.

The author has something to say: This scene is actually something I have wanted to write for a long time, haha.

("Born in the Song Dynasty: Talking about the Shilin Lecture Forum in the Northern Song Dynasty") One year, after the end of the imperial examinations, the rankings began to be released. A man named Wang Yaochen was the number one scholar in high school, and the common people in the capital rushed to the outside of the palace to watch.When Wang Zhuangyuan came out from the gate of the palace, he was sought after like a tide. At this time, Di Qing happened to be standing guard beside the avenue with several guards. A guard sighed: "This man has become the champion, and my generation is still a soldier. There is a world of difference between high and low." !But he refused to accept it and said: This is not right, it depends on how we can do it.His companions laughed and laughed at his arrogance and ignorance.
