[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

The weather is getting warmer, and Zhao Xiaozhen, who loves to play and go shopping, is active again~

Zhao Xiaozhen, who was wrapped into a ball of hair in winter, finally got rid of the heavy wool cloak and changed into a thin padded coat made this year.High-quality white satin, exquisite embroidery, and a round collar of warm rabbit fur around the neck. Zhao Xiaozhen, who has been covered for a winter, is white and tender. She smiles three-pointedly when she meets everyone. , serious and flattering.

Zhao Xiaozhen, who was dubbed by Zhan Zhao as "Zhen Guo Moe", has recently become very popular among the middle-aged and elderly people. The old ministers in the court like him very much. The old scholars are dizzy from the busy work during the day. All of a sudden, he reminded his children and grandchildren: "Hurry up and give birth to a golden grandson/great grandson. If you have seen the emperor, just give birth like that!"

The son, grandson, daughter-in-law and grandson daughter-in-law said at the same time-can we stop making trouble?

In fact, Zhao Xiaozhen didn't do anything bad, but recently he went to the etiquette department a little bit more frequently, and in line with the principle that many people don't blame people for etiquette, he would never go empty-handed every time he went. The minister, down to the gatekeeper Lao Liu, was coaxed into submission, and the stubborn old ministers were moved to tears. A group of old men showed the energy of old scalpers, and they were so tired that they had to overfulfill the task!

In fact, Zhao Xiaozhen went to the Ministry of Rites every day, mainly for the upcoming exam.

The general examination is equivalent to the ancient college entrance examination, but its difficulty is far more difficult than the college entrance examination. Regardless of the content of the exam questions, the accommodation environment alone is very different.Zhao Xiaozhen went to visit the tribute courtyard, and when he returned to the palace, his brows were furrowed, his heart was turned and he was speechless and choked with nothing but tears...

"Students are suffering, is this a place for people to stay!"

"Repair the house in the Gong Yuan and change the exam questions for this year. Oh, it's too troublesome. Why don't you just change the rules of the exam~"

Ministers: "..."

Your Majesty, please take two steps forward, I will definitely not beat you to death.

Although Zhao Xiaozhen is sometimes cute, sometimes crazy, sometimes evil and crazy, most of the time she is normal! [hehe……]

The reform of the examination system is related to national policy. Zhao Zhen has no guts to mess around with such a big matter, let alone a whim or a temporary idea. He is a well-thought-out market research teacher who solved the confusion and carefully took notes!The reform in the first year will inevitably be a big one, but the scope of the reform is really not big. It is already crowded with thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, and Zhao Xiaozhen does not want to put too much pressure on the students of this year.

This reform mainly revolves around two central ideas, one is to improve the accommodation environment, and the other is to add three new [humanities questions].

Although it is said that [Heaven is about to send a great mission to human beings, you must first work hard on your mind, work your muscles and bones, and starve your body and skin], but the exam that students from all over the country can participate in does not need to be so big?Enduring hunger and starvation should be left to the great men of [Heaven's Great Mission], and we mortals can hope that they can hold their own.

In fact, the tradition of candidates "squatting in a number" has a long history, dating back to the ancestors thousands of years ago.It’s just that the majority of civil servants are inevitably sour. Why do we starve and starve for the imperial examination, and it’s the turn of this group of young people to enjoy high beds and soft pillows?

unbalanced!My heart is greatly unbalanced!How can it be repaired, the embarrassing reason can't be said!

As for the so-called [humanities question], it is mainly to test a person's values ​​and the most basic moral values. Zhao Zhen conducted a questionnaire survey among civil and military officials, poor people, and traffickers. In the end, thousands of exam questions were sorted out.

Each examinee randomly selects a set of questions. There are three questions in a set of questions. Each question is a short story. Each examinee is required to explain his point of view after reading the story, and comprehensively consider whether the student's ideology and morality, how to deal with people, and integrity. See if there is wood or broken...

Zhao Zhen doesn't need bookworms who don't listen to things outside the window, let alone "talented scholars" who don't listen to things outside the window, let alone "talented scholars" who are "gold and jade in the outside world".It was the first time to try this kind of question, and Zhao Zhen didn't know what to do. To be on the safe side, he decided not to include this question in the total score of the test paper. Candidates can choose to answer or not to answer, and no one will force you.

It's just that you answer or don't answer, the three questions are there, neither sad nor happy.

The emperor came up with a new question himself, not to amuse you, of course, you can figure out the rest by yourself~

<(=￣v￣=)>Have the right!That's how willful it is!

**********

After half a month of hard work, Zhao Xiaozhen finally finished the preparatory work for the examination. Zhao Xiaozhen resolutely abandoned the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy, rushed to Kaifeng Mansion to report early in the morning, and happily took Zhan Zhao to the "street patrol".Seeing his innocent cat being abducted by the fat rabbit with a bad stomach, the white mouse lazily raised its eyelids and followed slowly...

Bai Yutang's footsteps are in line with the characteristics of a slow child, and he is always slow and unhurried.Ever since the weather got warmer, Bai Wuye has become more and more lazy, his cold eyes are sleepy and blurred, and his peach blossom eyes have dazed so many ignorant girls!

Zhan Zhao was so jealous that his teeth fell out, Zhao Zhen gave him an idea - "Buy Brother Bai a gauze hat!"

Note: The gauze caps here are only for women, and only female relatives will wear gauze caps.

Bai Yutang was still so lazy, too lazy to get angry, too lazy to bicker, too lazy to teach Xiao Baozi a lesson, he stared at him indifferently, and when he turned his head, he forgot to take revenge.Zhao Xiaozhen knew very well [Don't act obedient if you get cheap, you will be kicked if you act obediently], and avoided a "beating"......

The street is very lively, everywhere you can see scholars fighting poems and prose, pairings, and eloquent scholars. From a distance, it is a scene full of vitality.

Candidates from all over the world gather in Bianjing, and wherever there are people, there are fights, especially a group of young and energetic scholars.Fortunately, all the people in the group were scholars, and each of them had no strength to restrain them, and could only curse people in classical Chinese when they were in a hurry.The most serious fight recently was two scholars fighting with inkstones and brushes. The two attacked each other across the table. One was covered in ink, and the other was splashed with ink...

The three-year exam is related to the future and destiny of every student. As long as they are not brain-dead or deliberately disruptive, they will take a step back after arguing.Everyone wanted to keep things quiet, and no one wanted to make a big deal out of it, so Zhan Zhao's work didn't continue to increase.

In the west of Bianjing, there is a time-honored restaurant called [Taibaiju], named after Li Taibai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, and there is only one [Taibaijiu] with no other branches. [Taibaiju] is built next to the lake, and the scenery is different in four seasons. At the end of each examination, the apricot list is high, and there are always soldiers beating gongs and drums to congratulate [Taibaiju], and there are several champions in the building. The first is countless.

Therefore, [Taibai Building] is also called [Zhuangyuan Building], which is well-known all over the country.

[Taibaiju] has a collection of poems by talented scholars from all over the country. Even if it is not the day of the exam, there are countless scholars who come here just to appreciate the excellent works of the predecessors.Once it is the day of the examination, Taibai Residence will be overcrowded, and some students with little money would rather rent a room with their friends to earn a place in [Taibai Residence].

One is to please a good boss, and the other is to meet like-minded friends.

Zhao Zhen has been famous for Taibai Tower for a long time, so he had a rare opportunity, so he naturally wanted to come and have a look.

**********

There was a lot of voices in Taibai Tower, as if they were fighting poetry.

Seeing that there were too many people in the hall, Zhan Zhao picked up Zhao Xiaozhen who was running around to prevent him from being trampled by the crowd or sold by kidnappers.

Don't get me wrong, Zhan Zhao is very reassuring about Zhao Zhen, fearing that those who are so crowded that they step on Zhao Zhen will be dragged out by the hidden guards and dismembered, and the abducted Zhao Zhen's abductees will be chopped up and fed to the dogs by the hidden guards.Maybe it's time to hang a sign for Zhao Zhen and write a letter - [Bite your hands, don't move! ]

Bai Yutang's hands were full of food for both master and apprentice, and he cleverly parted the flow of people, and the three of them easily avoided the crowd and walked up to the second floor.

The private rooms on the second floor were all full, and the three of them had to sit by the banister of the stairs.I heard that some girls of the right age from official families will also come to [Taibailou] to watch the excitement, while keeping their eyes open to pick their husbands.If someone is really interested, send someone to guard under the apricot list on the day the list is released. If the scholar gets a good ranking, he might be able to embrace a beauty.Of course, there have been some oolongs, for example, colleagues from two families fell in love with a young man, you fought over me, accidentally injured passers-by, blocked traffic, etc...

Zhao Zhenai was so lively, she stepped on a stool and looked down, "Today's topic is [Snow], let's limit the rhyme, do you two want to try it out?"

Zhan Zhao blinked, swallowed a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "It's okay if you ask me to recite poems, but I don't have to write poems."

Bai Yutang leaned against the back of the chair and began to feel drowsy, "Why don't you stop and try."

This [you] naturally refers to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Xiaozhen raised his neck proudly, "I'm going to end up, that's bullying them!" You can't copy the Tang Dynasty, but you can plagiarize the Song Dynasty. Anyway, Lu You, Xin Qiji, Li Qingzhao, etc. Not born yet!Who is afraid of whom!

Bai Yutang didn't bother to pay attention to him, even in such a noisy environment, Bai Wuye still fell asleep quickly.Zhan Zhao tried all kinds of delicacies to lure him to no avail, with a very melancholy expression on his face: "Go back and find Gongsun to show you, I've slept too much these past few days, so it's time for hibernation to come out of the nest, right?"

Zhao Xiaozhen feared that the world would not be chaotic and said: "There are always a few days of discomfort every month."

Bai Yutang was about to speak when suddenly the light in front of him dimmed. "Excuse me, two brothers. There is really no space upstairs, can you..." A gentle young man stood by the table, his expression a little embarrassed, his words and deeds were gentle and polite, and he could tell that his tutor was very good.

"Brother is too polite, please sit down."

Zhan Zhao moved a place inward, carried back Zhao Xiaozhen who was lying on the railing, stuffed it into Bai Yutang's arms, and gathered up a table full of food, giving half of the table to the young man.Scholars like to quote classics when they talk, Zhan Zhao is not good at dealing with such people, and his attitude towards scholars is to keep them at a respectful distance.Of course, Gongsun is definitely an outlier among scholars. He can't turn corners when he speaks, and he is more "upright" than a load-bearing wall.

Downstairs seemed to be heating up, the debate was getting louder and louder, and Zhao Zhen didn't know how to compose poetry, so he got tired of it after a while.

Maybe it was infected by Bai Yutang, or maybe it was the habit of getting sleepy when reciting poems, which was inherited from the previous life.Zhao Xiaozhen soon started rubbing his eyes and yawning, looking sleepy like Bai Yutang.Zhan Zhao smirked, took out a piece of hawthorn jelly from the oiled paper bag, split the two halves and stuffed them into their mouths... Zhao Xiaozhen chewed, and Bai Yutang sucked it in, and after a while—"Hiss!!! "

Zhao Zhen and Bai Yutang woke up at the same time. Bai Yutang held his cheeks, and Zhao Xiaozhen's facial features were wrinkled.

Zhao Xiaozhen drank two cups of tea before swallowing the hawthorn cake, "The hawthorn cake is so sour, is his cook trying to save his life!"

The young scholar who watched the whole process couldn't help laughing out loud, and then realized that his behavior was a little rude, and was about to apologize when someone hugged his neck from behind.A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes dissatisfied: "Jingzhi, you are hiding here for leisure, come and help out, the surname Li is too bad!" The young man named 'Jingzhi' frowned, and pulled away the arm strangled around his neck, as if Some are reluctant.

The three of them bowed their hands to Zhan Zhao, and before they could stand still, they were dragged downstairs by the thick-browed and big-eyed familiar.

Zhao Zhen stretched his waist, "Go back, fighting poems won't kill anyone, there's nothing to see."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, there was an uproar downstairs - "Dead! Killing!"

Zhao Xiaozhen blinked, and obediently covered her crow's mouth.

Just now, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's expressions changed, and they reached out to cover Zhao Zhen's mouth at the same time, but the synchronization rate of the mouse and cat was too high, and it was not the first time that they pulled each other's hind legs.This time the two hands fought together, and no one covered Zhao Zhen, so a tragedy happened...

Crow's mouth is terminally ill, Gongsun said he was helpless.
