[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Just as Lin Yuzhou and Guo Jia stepped over the threshold of the inner study, they saw Qingya standing outside.Qing Ya secretly glared at Guo Jia, obviously very dissatisfied with his behavior of dragging people into the water.After staring, he turned his head to Lin Yuzhou and said, "Father, I just came from Zhuquemen, and the imperial examination is normal."

"Wait a minute!" Guo Jia couldn't help asking: "How do you know what's going on in the Jiade Palace when you're at the Vermilion Bird Gate?"

A smile flashed in Lin Yuzhou's eyes. Guo Jia didn't know the reason, but he knew that his son was not an ordinary person.He said to Qing Ya: "So, you can stay in the inner study for a while, there is the latest battle report on the table, go and have a look."

"Okay." Qing Ya smiled and walked towards the inner study, and when passing by Guo Jia, she even made a face at him.

"Hey!" Guo Jia was about to fight back when he was stopped by Lin Yuzhou, "Let's go, are you still young?"

Guo Jia was dragged away by Lin Yuzhou, and he said unconvincedly as he walked: "You just spoil your son! You look at me, then at my father, if you get used to it like this, Qingya will be just like me, and won't marry Daughter-in-law, you can't hold a grandson either, my father is your future appearance."

"Thank you!" Lin Yuzhou couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "It's a pity that I can't give birth to a son as old as you!"

Without Ji Shengyan in front of Lin Yuzhou, Guo Jia spoke more casually. After all, no one likes to smell vinegar, let alone eat dog food.He chatted and laughed with Lin Yuzhou all the way, and when they arrived at Jiademen, he suggested: "Go to the corridor behind Fudao, it's hidden there, and the view is good."

Lin Yuzhou nodded and agreed to Guo Jia's proposal.

Around noon, some candidates finished answering the questions and left the venue first.Lin Yuzhou and Guo Jia were sitting in the corridor behind the road of the Jiade Gate. They looked at the candidates who landed and walked out of the Jiade Hall one after another, and found that the first batch of leavers did not have the top ten candidates.

Lin Yuzhou has also experienced this kind of palace test, and the feeling of seeing other people taking the test is very subtle. Is this probably the feeling of the invigilator?

Guo Jia leaned against the pillar, a little puzzled: "Looking at the expressions of these people, the exam questions drawn by His Majesty are difficult?"

"There are three questions in total, one question about mathematics, which is related to water conservancy, and the remaining one is a policy question and one policy theory." From the beginning of the palace examination, Lin Yuzhou knew the content of the questions drawn by Liu Xie. To be honest, these three questions were not easy. I don't know how long it took Liu Xie to figure it out.

Guo Jia heard the words and asked, "What is the topic of policy discussion?"

Lin Yuzhou replied: "Water, fire, metal, wood, earth, and grain are all cultivated."

After the topic was announced, Guo Jia immediately revealed the source: "Shangshu·Da Yumo, is this difficult?"

Lin Yuzhou was speechless for a while, of course it was not difficult for Guo Jia, but how many "Guo Jia" are there in the world?He shook his head, pointed to the front, and said, "I don't know the specific situation of the candidates who left just now, but these two should be able to write good articles."

Guo Jia followed Lin Yuzhou's gaze and found that Zhou Yu and Sima Lang walked out of the palace gate. He pinched his chin and said, "The Sima family has produced many talented people, and the most outstanding one in this generation must be Sima Yi."

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows: "I value him so much?"

"Smart, ambitious, and aware of current affairs." Guo Jia raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Lin Yuzhou, and said with a smile: "He is the only one among the five companions who can compete head-on with Zhuge Liang."

Lin Yuzhou asked curiously, "What about the rest?"

"These children have their own strengths, and they are all outstanding." Guo Jia's evaluation seemed perfunctory, but it was also the most sincere thought in his heart. Selfishly speaking, he likes Zhuge Liang and admires Sima Yi, but as a teacher, he needs to teach them They all teach to be talented, "These kids have already been settled by me and Wen Ruo, and when we retire, let them take over."

Lin Yuzhou chuckled, thinking about retirement now, it's too early.

The two stayed in the corridor for a long time, and Guo Jia didn't leave until the candidates for the palace examination were halfway through, and Lin Yuzhou also returned to the inner study.

"Back?" Lin Yuzhou noticed Ji Shengyan in the inner study.

After the palace test, Ji Shengyan was going to Jizhou. In order to ensure the quality of the fire/powder, he went to the fire/powder department early this morning to check the newly made thunderbolt bullets.

"Just got back, everything is normal at the Fire/Pharmaceutical Department." Ji Shengyan poured a cup of tea for Lin Yuzhou, "How was the imperial examination?"

"Normal." After Lin Yuzhou answered, he glanced around, "Where's Qingya?"

Ji Shengyan said: "After reading the information, I will let him go home first."

Lin Yuzhou walked to the table and sat down, "The results will be released in three days, and there will be a ceremony and dinner at that time. I estimate that I will stay in the palace all day. If you leave during the day, there will be a conflict in time."

"Qingya is in the light, but I am in the dark." Seeing Lin Yuzhou frowning, Ji Shengyan comforted him: "I will take Yuan Shao down as soon as possible."

Lin Yuzhou sighed, a little unwilling, always feeling that he had refined his mind and soul in vain, he thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

"Let's deal with government affairs first, and we'll decide when we leave." Seeing Lin Yuzhou's mood getting worse, Ji Shengyan compromised slightly.

"Forget it, let's go early in the morning after three days, go early and come back early." Lin Yuzhou sighed, he pushed the business to Ji Shengyan, and climbed on the desk, fell into infinite sorrow, his partner was about to leave It’s been a while, I’m not used to it! I’m not used to it!

On this side, the husband and wife began to get tired before parting, while on the other side, the palace examination was over, and the examiners fell into the intensive correction process again.Not only the examiner paid attention to this correction, but Liu Xie paid more attention to it, because he would determine the top three rankings in the palace examination, which was of great significance.

For Yu Caiyong, correcting the palace examination papers is more stressful than correcting the meeting papers. There are too many students who have performed well in the palace examinations. It is really difficult to abandon one's own preferences and choose the most talented one.He thought over and over again, and after discussing with the assistant examiners for a long time, he finally determined the top ten among the sixty students.

Just when Cai Yong and others seized the time to correct the test papers, the bustle in the workshop was higher and higher.At the beginning of the township examination, the common people didn't feel much, but when the results of the township examination were released, the sense of honor and ceremony shocked many people.This feeling is continuous, the degree will become stronger and wider, and the scope will become wider and wider. Unknowingly, the idea of ​​"getting ahead by reading" slowly penetrates into the hearts of the common people.

After the palace examination, the students left the palace and went back to their respective families. Those with backgrounds like Zhuge Jin and Sima Lang would get more attention, but the students from poor families were not neglected.Recently, there has been a gust of wind blowing from nowhere in Luoyang. Many wealthy households are targeting unmarried men in the palace examination.

The impact of scientific examinations is not limited to this. Now in Luoyang, rich families will send their children to elementary schools, and poor families will send their children to free schools. Regardless of the method, the common people will let their children read and write, and compare their grades. , It has also become a favorite thing for parents to do.Although this kind of comparison has caused many scumbags to live in dire straits, making "other people's children" a public enemy in advance, but affected by this trend, more and more people pay attention to reading and literacy, and officials are also happy to see it This happened.

Ordinary people have been affected so profoundly, let alone scholars.From the students who participated in the palace examination, they learned about the splendor of the imperial palace and the grandeur of the palace examination, how could they not yearn for it?Knowing that "Jinshi background" will be an indispensable part of being an official in the future, those students who took a wait-and-see attitude and did not take the scientific examination this year all regretted it.They understand that the number of people taking part in the imperial examination next year will be several times that of this year, and the difficulty will be even greater than this year.

These disturbances did not affect Lin Yuzhou at all, and Ji Shengyan was about to leave in three days, so he pushed the affairs at hand to Guo Jia to handle them, while he and Ji Shengyan stayed at home for three full days.

Hu Tianhudi's three days passed by in a flash, and when it was daylight, Lin Yuzhou sent off his partner, son and daughter at the door of his house.Looking at the back of his family leaving, Lin Yuzhou sighed, until the New Year's Eve, he would have to live alone.

Lin Yuzhou didn't look away until he could no longer see the people in front of him. He said to the butler behind him, "Prepare the car and go to the palace."

The steward replied in a low voice, "here", today is the grand ceremony of passing on people, and the carriage was ready early in the morning.

Lin Yuzhou put forward the idea of ​​Chuanlu Grand Ceremony, and for this reason, a special Chuanlu officer was set up, which was held by Huangmen Shilang.The place where the Ceremony of Chuanlu is held is the same as the place where the palace examination is held, and it is the Jiade Palace.

When Lin Yuzhou arrived at the Jiade Hall, there was a lot of people here, the maids and Xiao Huangmen were busy setting up the square in front of the hall, and the drum band also arrived early, this time they even used the chime bells.

Cheng Hualing, who was in charge of performing music, saw Lin Yuzhou and hurried over, "Meet the general!"

"Get up." Lin Yuzhou shook his hands, "Is the ritual and music used in the ceremony of passing on the gathering of people new to you?"

Cheng Hualing bent his back, and replied cautiously: "I received His Majesty's order before June, ordering the Taiyu Music Department and the Huangmen Advocacy Department to compose a new song for the Chuanlu Ceremony."

Lin Yuzhou nodded, "Go back and do your work, don't worry about me."

After Cheng Hualing left, Lin Yuzhou smiled, and even thought of playing music, which shows how much Liu Xie attaches importance to scientific research.The Taiyu Music Department and the Huangmen Advocacy Department are the Yuefu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which specialize in collecting and compiling songs from all over the world, adapting and creating music, etc., and belong to the official music organization.

The Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty had a great influence on the culture of later generations. Lin Yuzhou had a hunch that this "Biography of Lulu" would definitely be famous in history, and it might become the "theme song" of the imperial examination, just like the song of a certain New Year's Gala in the future. Same ending song.

Because he wanted to send Ji Shengyan off, Lin Yuzhou got up early, and he came to the palace early, but there was one who was earlier than him, and Liu Xie stayed up almost all night.He heard from Xiao Huangmen that after the regent entered the palace, he ran towards the inner study excitedly.

Lin Yuzhou didn't do anything when he came to the inner study. He sat in the study for a while, and when he saw Liu Xie coming, he was quite surprised, "Your Majesty didn't sleep last night?"

Liu Xie stopped the car in time and asked strangely: "How does the general know?"

"The eye sockets are dark." With a smile in his tone, Lin Yuzhou asked again, "Is breakfast available?"

"Not yet." Liu Xie sat opposite Lin Yuzhou, "Mr. Huang and Qing Ya have already left?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded, and he asked Xiao Huangmen to go to the imperial dining room to fetch some meals.

"No soup cakes, take some dry cakes or pastries." After Liu Xie added, seeing Lin Yuzhou looking at him, his face blushed slightly, "Today there is a grand ceremony of passing on people, and it will definitely last for a long time. I don't want to..."

Don't want to go to the toilet halfway?Before Liu Xie finished speaking, Lin Yuzhou understood what he was thinking. After all, it was the first scientific examination, and Liu Xie wanted him to end it perfectly, including himself. "Don't push yourself too hard."

"I won't." After Liu Xie finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuzhou, his eyes were bright, full of longing for the future, "In another hour, the students will enter the palace, and next year there will be more students taking the scientific examination ,Right?"

Lin Yuzhou smiled and said: "It must be. There is a shortage of people everywhere in the imperial court, let alone the localities. Where can these students be?"

Liu Xie followed Lin Yuzhou and got in touch with a lot of government affairs, so he naturally understood that Lin Yuzhou's words were true.This year's talent selection has ended, and he began to look forward to next year. He thought that the scale of the scientific examination next year would increase several times, and that would be the real event.
