Accompany the prince to study

The founding of Daqi is still short, and all rules and regulations are still in the groping stage.

It's like the imperial examination.

In fact, the birth of the imperial examination is not too long. It was the last emperor of the previous dynasty who came up with it in order to fight against the aristocratic family and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.The last emperor was a very thoughtful young man, and he promulgated many policies that he thought would benefit the country.

It's a pity that the reality is as cruel as the ideal is. The Zhaoqiu Reform that he and a group of aspiring students from poor families made ended up being disastrously defeated by the entangled conservatives.Those dying corruption and tyranny became more rampant in the precarious counterattack.

The building of the former dynasty is about to collapse, and the young emperor is powerless to recover.

Then... a certain string in the last emperor's head broke in the end.What a promising young man, under the all-in-one siege of a century-old illness, he mutated into a lunatic with no taboos.He smashed the pot, and in a decisive way of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred, he confronted the family of courtiers to the end, and carried out extremely crazy revenge.

The two sides seem to be reconciled, but they can't be separated no matter what. They threaten each other with their children at every turn, and often beat them to vent their anger.

This "child" naturally refers to ordinary people who suffered in the previous dynasty.

The great ancestor of the Wen family was one of them. The village was devastated and starvation was everywhere, but the censor sent by the imperial court was greedy for relief money and did not give people a way to survive.The only scholar in the village gritted his teeth and went to Beijing to sue, but he didn't want the court to solve the problem, so he had to solve the person who raised the problem.

The great ancestor of the Wen family was also a bloody young man. With a single stroke of his heart, he led all the living people in the village to become bandits. He nested on Mo Xun Mountain as a bandit and confronted the court.

Later, natural disasters continued to spread, and the court was no longer able to cover them up, and rebels poured out from all over the country.As the first one who openly confronted the imperial court, Wen Family Taizu was set up as a model by the imperial court and vowed to kill him as an example to others.Naturally, Wen Taizu would not sit still and wait for death. He sat opposite the military adviser, pondered for a long time, and as soon as he slapped the table, he raised the banner of self-reliance as king.

Joined the war that had to be fought for the right to live.

The ending is that the snipe and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman wins.

The last emperor died, the aristocratic family remained, and the two sides destroyed each other. They could only watch helplessly as the Wen family, whom they had never looked at in the past, recklessly entered the capital and sat on the dragon chair.

Although the aristocratic family represented by the Five Clans and Qiwang has hurt the foundation, they are still trying to fool Taizu and continue the pattern of "iron-struck family, flowing emperor" in the previous dynasties.

Wen Taizu is an old man who doesn't know anything about political struggles, but he knows that Lao Tzu's village can only be ruled by Lao Tzu alone.

He took his son, a military adviser, and a few smart people, and sat together for another night. From the various reform policies of the previous government, he pulled out a few policies that were actually very beneficial, and changed his rhetoric. The foundation of the country.

This is how imperial examinations came into being.

At present, the imperial examination system is running smoothly, and the talents sent to the court are relatively stable. The decline of the aristocratic families has become a foregone conclusion, a vicious circle, and there is no capital to fight against the emperor.

However, the imperial examination is a fledgling young man after all, and there are still various small problems in many details that need to be improved.

like……

Someone was in the important place of the tribute courtyard, cooking on the spot.

The Gongyuan brought rice and pots in, and it had a stove to light the fire. Cooking and hot dishes were all within the allowed range.It’s just that no one has thought about such a miraculous operation before, but now that I think about it carefully, there is no express rule that it can’t be done.

However, I still can't bear it!

There was no need for other candidates to report, but there were guards carrying guns and water, and ran over following the thick smoke, ready to put out the fire.It’s not just once or twice in the Gongyuan. After all, the examinees need to light up the lamps. The weather is dry and the house is made of wood. When a gust of wind blows through, all kinds of things are hard to guard against.

When a group of guards and inspectors arrived, what they saw was not the fire as expected, but a pungency that could make the scalp numb if inhaled from the nose.

The scene was very embarrassing.

The examiner couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed into the gray fog cursing, wanting to see who was driving him to death. He insisted on making him regret his whole life, so he wouldn't dare to cheat in the examination room again!

Then there is no more then.

The inspector's cursing stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly strangled her neck.After a while, he backed out respectfully, and continued to direct the guards to fan the thick smoke quickly, so as not to disturb the old man inside to eat.

This is very arrogant.

But it also made the examinees who had been secretly observing the development of the situation understand one thing, that the person who was in trouble had a lot of background, at least he couldn't afford to be provoked by ordinary inspectors.

Wen Daocheng next door endured the humiliation, still bowing his head and patiently imitating Gu Qiao's handwriting, copying the contents of Xiao Shizi's draft onto the test paper.As he was writing, he thought bitterly in his heart, next time there will be a rule not to cheat!

Don't wait for him to finish the exam!He wants to see who dares to cook in front of him!

As soon as he was in Gu Qiao's body, Wen Dao became inexplicably not anorexic.This is a good thing to be happy about, but now it makes itself look so miserable.

Gu Qiao has always been good at patience. He thought it was just a one-day exam, and he was not used to using a pail on this kind of occasion, so he simply didn't bring anything to eat, and even seldom drank water, trying to avoid embarrassment as much as possible. .He considered everything perfectly, but he never thought that he would exchange with His Highness the Crown Prince again halfway through the exam.

While worrying about His Highness's suffering, Gu Qiao had to seize the time to check His Highness's answers.

The crown prince's progress was about the same as Gu Qiao's. He was about to write all the drafts, and only the last question was left to finish.It's not that the crown prince was much slower in answering the questions than Gu Qiao, but that he spent part of his time on drafts and complained wildly.

Gu Qiao could even figure out how His Royal Highness was cursing while answering the question, it was really very irritable.

But the prince insisted on finishing the paper, and even wrote it well.As long as you have mastered the tricks and found the key to transform your thinking perspective, you will be able to master all tricks.A prince who wants face will never lose!

Even in the content written by His Royal Highness, the wording of some sentences still has edges and corners that cannot be concealed. It is a top-down command habit, which is difficult to change.Gu Qiao deliberated and polished up His Highness's draft, and by the way, also corrected His Highness's wrong words, super strong error correction, one is worth two.

In the prince's vigorous body, Gu Qiao seemed to have regained inexhaustible strength and spirit, and he finally began to learn how to do things.

On the way to revise the manuscript, Gu Qiao summoned Fulai and tried to speak: "Over there at the Gongyuan..."

Before Gu Shizi could finish expressing his thoughts, Fulai had already answered the words very understandingly: "Don't worry, everything has been taken care of, and I promise I won't treat Shizi badly."

"???" Gu Qiao was a little stunned, what's the matter?Which prince?me?

It really is.

Prince Wen is a person with a strong sense of territory. Before he learned to speak, he had already awakened the consciousness of "my people, only I can teach them a lesson".The little prince dared to stretch out his hand in front of Emperor Wu to protect the nanny, and was in a stalemate with his father, who was taller than the mountain, with his head raised, looking fearless.

This is also the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so irritable, and the palace people in the East Palace are still loyal to him.They are not only afraid of the prince, but also in awe.Everyone knew that as long as they did nothing wrong, they would definitely not lose their lives with the prince.

And once recognized by the prince as within the range of his own people, he will protect him to the end.

Never break your word!

Gu Qiao is the one who is most integrated into the core of the prince's protection.

Even Wen Daocheng himself can't say why he treats Gu Qiao so differently, probably because his cousin said that he really likes Gu Qiao.

It's rare to have something that he likes, Wen Daocheng accepts it well, he finds it fresh and interesting.

In terms of taking care of Gu Qiao, Wen Daocheng can be said to be meticulous. From the selection of the dormitory to the appointment of the guards for inspections, even Wen Daocheng himself did not expect that he could think so comprehensively.This naturally also includes asking the Gongyuan to provide meal delivery services.

From the beginning of the exam, the gate of the Gongyuan will be locked, and it will not be opened unless the exam is over, and the king of heaven will not open it.

But internally, the examiners and servants on the invigilation building all have to eat. They must have a cafeteria. Sending a cook in in advance to cook a small stove for the first and second candidates is still within the scope of basic rights.

When Wen Daocheng transcribed the third question, he ate the meal he gave him.

It was steaming hot and fragrant, at least not worse than his left and right ones.

The examiner who came to deliver the meal also explained in a low voice why he came so late.It's not easy to make public during the day, after all, it's a small stove, passing by rows of candidates, it's easy to create conflicts, and they are rumored to be cheating, so they can only wait until late at night.When Cheng wanted to send it off, something happened next door. The candidates and examiners were shocked, so they could only wait for another chance.

When everything subsided, he came over non-stop, and he also brought a thin blanket as a gift in case of catching a cold: "If you have any orders, you can ask the patrol officers to find the villain at any time. Generally, if the request is not too outrageous, you can ask for it." be satisfied as much as possible.”

"Oh, by the way, this is an order from His Royal Highness, he really values ​​you."

The last sentence was from His Royal Highness, who was naive and asked the other party to say it by name.After all, he heard that Daocheng was never a person who did good deeds without leaving his name. He wanted to treat Gu Qiao well, and let Gu Qiao know his goodness. He didn't want to do useless work.

Now that I am facing this scene, Wen's heart can be said to be extremely complicated.

After one night, it soon came to the hour corresponding to yesterday, and the winding gong sounded on time.Each row of dorms corresponds to a guard, and they are in unison, uniform, and collect all the examination papers and drafts at about the same time.

Candidates were able to get out of the small cubicle, but not many of them looked relaxed.

This exam is really too biased.

Most of the people exercised their muscles and bones outside the hall, waiting for the number to be called, so that they could line up to leave the Gongyuan.His Highness the Crown Prince is not very familiar with this set of procedures, but he has a brain, and after observing the people around him, he understands what he should do.

The neighbors in His Royal Highness's house, the two culinary experts, finally revealed their true colors.

One left and one right are all acquaintances.

The cook on the left is Mr. Ge's nephew, who has already become a foreign official through the imperial examination. This time he came to participate in the system to prepare for a further advancement in his official position.Because I have relevant exam experience and I am well-prepared, it is reasonable to want to have a mouthful of hot food.

The one on the right who is so hot, the prince is even more familiar with it. It is none other than one of his companions, Su Su, whose ancestral home is from Sichuan.

"Hey, little prince, how did you do well in the exam?" Su Su stepped forward familiarly.

His Royal Highness: Who would have thought that this man is a serious companion on the surface, but secretly has the talent of a cook!

"The hot pot is very good." The prince could only hint through gritted teeth.

Su Su really thought that the prince was praising him, so he blushed embarrassingly: "It's so talkative, so talkative, there are spicy peppers for eating, and it's very good. In ancient times, there was Dongpo pork, but now I have my Xipo spicy dried tofu. Xiao Shizi , have a taste?"

His Royal Highness: No!you are dead!Do not talk!You are dead with me! ! !

The author has something to say: in the small theater, the accompanying readers in Wenhua Hall are all talented, they speak nicely, and the food is delicious. I really like reading in it.

PS: In case someone asks about the name "Sichuan" (I actually encountered it in previous articles), I will explain it in advance here-Sichuan is a very old name, and it has been the capital of the province since the Yuan Dynasty The name of the administrative unit, it's really, isn't a modern appellation.
