[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Soon after the Lantern Festival, Murong Fu once again went to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the provincial examination in the eighth year of Yuanfeng with Qin Guan in his single clothes and carrying a basket.In this provincial examination, another small incident happened.On the first night of the provincial examination, a candidate kicked over an oil lamp in his sleep, causing a fire.Fortunately Murong Fu is a martial arts practitioner and has always been a light sleeper, he woke up before the fire intensified, and hastily shouted loudly.In the end, only the unlucky examinee needs to change the examination room and rewrite the examination paper of the first day, without other losses.Here, the wheel of history takes a slight turn.Many candidates who died because of the fire were able to escape, but Jiao Yao, the undergraduate champion, had to wait three years to fight again because he missed the exam period.One month after the end of the provincial examination, Feng Bo'e replaced Bao BuTong and went to Xuande Building to read the rankings for Murong Fu and Qin Guan.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, a total of more than 480 candidates from Yichou Division came to Bianjing to participate in the provincial examination, and a total of 300 candidates entered the rank of Jinshi.In the Song Dynasty, there were three lists of Jinshi in the imperial examination. There were three people in the first list, which were "No. [-] Scholar", "No. There is no limit to the number of people on the list, and it is called "from the same Jinshi background".

In the Song Dynasty, literature and martial arts were advocating, "in the morning, he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening, he went to the Tianzitang." It was the success standard recommended by people at that time.Under such circumstances, to be able to break through the siege from many candidates across the country and be admitted to Jinshi is already a smoldering ancestral grave, and it is even more unstoppable to be selected as the top three.However, no matter how high the imperial examination rank is, it only represents past achievements, and there are other unspoken rules in the officialdom.Although champions, second places, and Tanhua are all very beautiful, if you want to go straight to the central officer or the prime minister, it depends on your own ability.But if he was born with Jinshi, it is a blessing to be able to retire with an official position of fourth or fifth rank in this life. As for the power from the official to the prime minister, it is simply a dream!

Feng Bo E was aware of the unspoken rules of the officialdom, and even Bao Dong mentioned how Murong Fu got here.He was ordered to look at the list, and he never had any hope for the first 100-person list. When it came to the second [-]-person list, the first thing he saw was Qin Guan's name.It was the third time for Qin Guan to go to Beijing for scientific research, and this time he was finally on the list, ranking more than [-].However, after Feng Bo E finished reading the second list, Murong Fu's name was still unknown.Rao is Feng Feng Ei who possesses excellent skills and has been psychologically prepared for a long time, and even more calm after going through life and death, but at this time, his face is still pale and his hands are cold and sweaty.I only thought to myself: If there is no son-in-law on the next list, even if he is admitted, he will only be a fellow Jinshi!With Jinshi and Mrs. Ru, what hope can there be?

Fortunately, Murong Fu's character exploded.

At one-third of the third list, Feng Bo'e finally saw Murong Fu's name.A total of 200 people were recruited, and the young master ranked over [-]. Although his ranking was not high, he couldn't get away with a Jinshi background, right?Feng Boxi let out a long breath of relief.

As soon as he rushed home to report the letter, Qin Guan didn't care about his reputation as a romantic and talented man, and rushed back to the bedroom screaming all the way.Ah Zhu and Abi behaved completely opposite to Qin Guan, the two girls laughed from ear to ear, shouted and danced while pulling Murong Fu's robe, and hurriedly ordered the servants at home to set off firecrackers to celebrate.Only Murong Fu remained indifferent as before.

Seeing that Murong Fu struggled to save Yipao from the hands of the two maids, and was about to go out for a stroll in search of peace, he hastily followed up two steps and sincerely persuaded him: "My lord, there will be a palace test in ten days, you Is it..." He was embarrassed to continue, but looked at Murong Fu hopelessly, hoping that he would understand his bitter words.Although the Palace Examination is just a ranking competition rather than a knockout competition, Murong Fu's ranking is not dominant after all, and it is not impossible to be reversed and fall into the ranks of the same Jinshi again!

Murong Fu is a smart person, he quickly understood the unfinished meaning of the incident.He was stunned for a long time, full of strange and inexplicable thoughts, and finally he let out a long sigh, turned his head and walked towards the study.

Ten days later, the last imperial examination was held in the Jiying Hall in the imperial palace.This time, the candidates on the list had uniform attire, all in white.Although they have been admitted to the imperial examination, they have not yet been appointed officials, so they are still in vain.Arranging more than 400 candidates to take the exam in the Jiying Hall is obviously a huge project, so Murong Fu, Qin Guan, and a group of fellow imperial examiners stood outside the Jiying Hall before dawn, but they waited until the sun was up. Standing stupidly, he was never allowed to enter the Jiying Hall.

Most of the candidates were frail scholars, standing in the cold wind in early spring for a long time, they were already staggering from cold and hungry, if they were not worried about losing their appearance and ruining their future, they would have already sat on the ground.Qin Guan also couldn't hold on, fortunately there was Murong Fu.

At this time, the benefits of martial arts are revealed.Even though Qin Guan leaned on him like a pillar and almost put his whole body weight on him, Murong Fu still stood calmly and outstandingly.

"This is not the way the country raises soldiers!" A gust of cold wind blew past, Qin Guan shivered and couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

Murong Fu lowered his eyebrows, silently suppressed the almost indifferent sarcasm in his eyes, and replied softly: "Efficiency! Crashing efficiency!"

Finally, the officials of the Ministry of Rites arranged all the work before Murong Fu went completely berserk, and ordered all the candidates to enter the palace to take the exam. More than 400 people breathed out at the same time, and entered the Jiying Hall in full suits.When it was Murong Fu's turn to enter the palace, he suddenly and involuntarily stopped, looking up at the majestic and resplendent palace.The sun happened to fall on the plaque above the palace, and the word "Jiying" on the plaque was so radiant that people couldn't look closely at it.Murong Fu couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, sighed softly, lifted his robe, and stepped into the hall accompanied by Chaoyang.

Song Shenzong had already been sitting upright in the hall, seeing Murong Fu approaching slowly in white, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.I saw that the visitor had black hair and sword eyebrows, a nose job and deep eyes, and a fat skin. The facial contours blended into the rising sun were white and almost transparent, but the eyelashes were as black as crow's wings.Song Shenzong immediately turned sideways and whispered a few words to the servant beside him, the servant immediately nodded slightly, walked down the steps and invited Murong Fu out of the team alone, leading him to the head of another row in the hall.In the original history, Song Shenzong vomited blood due to the defeat of the Five Routes of Xia, and his health deteriorated. He died of illness in March of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.But now, although the five-way attack on Xia still failed, after all, most of the 20 soldiers who were supposed to have been lost or captured in the battle of Yongle City were saved by Zhong Er. Can hold one breath and not die.

After Song Shenzong made such a move, the officials in the hall and Juzi immediately understood that Murong Fu had fallen into the eyes of the officials.It's a matter of future, even literati who read sage books can't help but be jealous, but everyone sees that Murong Fu's demeanor is leisurely and unhurried, and he is tall, broad shoulders and long legs, and the waist seems to be tied around the waist. Grip, if you add one point, you will be too strong, and if you lose one point, you will be thin, which is also depressing.

Murong Fu himself didn't care about this little special treatment, he walked up to his seat, saluted Song Shenzong who was sitting in front of him generously, and then sat down without saying anything else.

The reason why Song Shenzong ordered Murong Fu to sit in the first row was originally just to see his appearance clearly, but now seeing him not only looks like a jade tree and Qiongzhi, he is born with a noble spirit, but he also responds brightly and openly in front of the imperial court, especially his eyes are extremely calm and calm. Without any shimmering and timidity, he added a little bit of joy, and only thought in his heart: If he is really talented, he is a rare good son-in-law.

The so-called good from the top will be effective from the bottom.Song Shenzong had such a magical touch, the officials of the Ministry of Rites naturally knew how to act.After the palace examination, Murong Fu's examination paper was placed on the top of Song Shenzong's desk.When it came to the imperial examination, the emperor himself served as the examiner, so naturally there were no more vague rules. After reading Murong Fu's examination paper, Song Shenzong knew that he was not just a superficial person, and his heart sank immediately.Just as he was about to boast that "good words are good, policy theory is good", but his eyes fell on his last signature. "Murong Fu, the name is Mingshi..." Facts have proved that anyone who is an emperor should at least have a good memory. If even the officials under him can't remember everything, it will be impossible to talk about governing the country. "But in the third year of Yuanfeng, did you deliberately pursue Murong Fu who went to Huangzhou to worship Su Zizhan as a teacher?" Song Shenzong asked casually, with several marks on his brows.

The servant next to him immediately burst into laughter when he heard the words, and echoed: "The official sees it, it is Murong Fu!"

Song Shenzong smiled lightly, and said meaningfully: "Respecting the teacher and respecting the way is rare, rare!" Having said that, he put the examination paper aside in his hand.Song Shenzong was determined to reform, but Su Shi was convicted for opposing the new law. Although the reform has come to an end, Song Shenzong's resentment towards him obviously has not completely disappeared.

Seeing this, the servant could not help but twitched his brows, bowed and smiled again: "The officials are right, respecting teachers is indeed rare. It's ridiculous that Su Zizhan, although famous all over the world, is far less wise than the officials. "

Song Shenzong was silent for a while, then suddenly put down his work, and asked casually, "But what did you hear, that you came here to show off in front of me?"

The servant smiled shyly, bent his back even more, and said in a low voice with incomparable admiration: "It's true that nothing can be hidden from the officials! The old slave heard that this Murong Fu came from a merchant, so he didn't like Su Zizhan's favor. In the second imperial examination, Su Zizhan specially wrote a letter of recommendation to Duke Jing for his disciple Qin Guan, saying, "May the young man borrow his teeth to make him grow stronger in the world." But Murong Fu, who is also a disciple, did not mention it at all. .” Speaking of this, the servant suddenly smiled and shook his head. "In my opinion, there are countless talented scholars in this world. Can he, Qin Guan, stand out? Isn't it just a matter of government's thought? But in this world, there are filial students who can give themselves money and things every month. How many can there be? Even if knowledge is almost a treasure, then Su Zizhan is really confused!"

Song Shenzong heard the words but said: "Is the knowledge poor? I don't think it's not the case!" In fact, Murong Fu's policies and arguments are eloquent and eloquent, which won his heart very much.What's more rare is that his handwriting is upright and elegant, and has a unique style, which has obviously created a new genre of calligraphy.

Seeing that Song Shenzong's attitude was loose, just as Wang Xianggong expected, the servant admired Wang Xianggong greatly from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time lamented that the official's character is impatient and easy to be manipulated without knowing it.That servant was originally Song Shenzong's confidant, so he couldn't bear to plot such schemes.It's just that since last winter, the health of the official family has been deteriorating. Wang Xianggong has asked for the crown prince, so he, a servant, naturally wants to find a way out for himself.Thinking of this, the waiter forcibly cheered up, followed the script with an expression of disbelief and said: "The old slave heard that this Murong Fu Provincial Examination ranked outside the top [-], so he is not considered a great talent."

Unexpectedly, Song Shenzong was full of doubts after hearing this. The imperial examinations are held every three years, and he has seen many examination papers since he ascended the throne.In all fairness, Murong Fu's theory is not inferior even compared to previous candidates. How can it be ranked so low?Shenzong pondered for a moment, then suddenly ordered his servant: "Go and get the examination papers of Murong Fu's provincial examination." After a long time, Fang Ning said: "The Ministry of Rites presumes the sacred meaning, thinking that I am narrow-minded and can't tolerate others?" Song Shenzong didn't like Su Shi and didn't want to see Su Shi's disciples enter the court, but if his "sacred heart" was easily seen through, Again he was annoyed at being offended.

When the saint got angry, there was no sound in the hall, and all the maids in the palace held their breaths and closed their eyes, but they didn't even dare to take a breath.

After a while, the servant timidly persuaded: "Calm down the anger of the officials. It is normal for a courtier to speculate on the holy will, but the holy is clever and wise, and will not be deceived after all."

The servant's words were really pleasant to the ear, Song Shenzong couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said softly: "In my opinion, Murong Fu's articles are excellent. What's more rare is his filial piety. His talent and appearance are worthy of Tanhua's elegance. As for Qin Guan, Jing Guogong To promote talents for the country, I can't help him..." Song Shenzong was about to give him a good ranking but couldn't help but think of Su Shi. After all, he shook his head and didn't mention it again when he was unhappy in his heart. He just turned his head and looked at the servant beside him casually He asked, "Who did you take advantage of when you spoke so well for Murong Fu?"

Hearing the words, the servant was as straight as five thunderbolts, and immediately fell to his knees with a "plop", and cried loudly: "The Emperor Taizu has a rule that the servants are not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers. How dare this old servant? The old servant is utterly loyal to the government. A clear lesson from officials..."

"Okay, get up!" In fact, Song Shenzong didn't believe that the servants took advantage of anyone.Su Shi can't protect himself, who will stand up for his disciples?Only the teacher has a public heart, but it is a pity that the reform cannot continue after all.

The maid hurriedly stopped crying, wiped her tears and stood up, aggrieved and said: "If this old slave has selfish intentions, he is also thinking of the officials. Princess Shushou is in her flowering season, she has everything she needs, and she is missing a Mr. Ruyi Ah! Yesterday the old slave saw Murong Fu enter the palace, he was really shocked, and then he saw how he served Su Zizhan, and he knew his heart. When we get married, no matter how close the master is, he will never be as good as the daughter-in-law. When the princess was happy, wouldn't the officials be happier?" Wang Gui had already had a bad relationship with Su Shi, so naturally he didn't want to see his disciple come forward.Yesterday the officials had their eyes on Murong Fu, so Wang Gui knew that he could no longer beat him in the ranking.Therefore, he simply did the opposite and praised him as the princess.According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, concubines are not allowed to participate in politics.At that time, no matter how talented Murong Fu is, no matter how good his writing is, he will be just another Wang Shen!

Although Song Shenzong was seen through the "Sacred Heart" again, but this time he was not angry, but laughed and cursed: "You old man!"

The author has something to say:

All the candidates: In life, three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, and the remaining ninety points are all about looks!

Murong Fu: Hehe!Princess Shang eats soft rice, whoever is jealous, I will trade it with him!

All the students: ...
