Chapter 38 The imperial examination is sad
This night!
It is destined to be a sleepless night, and I don’t know how many people in Takizawa Prefecture can’t sleep.
Late at night, Dou Mansion.
Dou Fangli was restless and paced around the room repeatedly. Dou Fangli was silent, like a statue, motionless.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and I don’t know how long it had been.
"master!"
"The eldest young master is back?" A noisy voice sounded, Dou Fangde suddenly stood up, walked towards the Dou Mansion with big striking steps, and came outside the gate. He could not help but smile when he saw Dou Changsheng at first sight.
"Just come back!"
"Dou San heats up the meal and lets the eldest young master have a midnight snack." Dou Fangli's anxiety disappeared, and he looked relaxed, and he spoke.
"It's so bad!" Dou San agreed and hurriedly left.
"Where is Lord Liu and Lord Chen?"
"Mr. Liu died bravely. Lord Chen has already rode a dragon blood horse back to Longhua County overnight. I have reported this details. I have also taken advantage of the opportunity of Lord Chen to get the dragon blood horse to return to the county town."
"Second, it's not easy for Ping An to come back. Have a meal first, then have a good rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do." Dou Fangde rebuked Dou Fangli in dissatisfaction.
"Brother said it well. It's good that Ping An can come back. I'll talk about it tomorrow if there is something to do."
As soon as the crowd arrived at the main hall, they heard a knock on the door. Dou Si’s loud voice came from afar: “Master Mr. Huaiyuan is visiting?”
"Please!" Dou Changsheng had just sat down and immediately stood up and greeted Dou Fangde with him to meet him.
Outside the gate, Song Yu was fat and thin, and the fat Dou Changsheng also knew who it was. He was the second son of Song Yu's second brother, and his name was Song Bi.
"Mr. Huaiyuan!" Dou Changsheng bowed.
"No need to be polite." Song Yu was extremely polite, reached out and supported Dou Changsheng himself, patted Dou Changsheng's shoulder and said, "I thank you for your hard work this time."
"Why!"
Song Yu sighed and said in a bitter tone: "The ghost ship is very involved and is vaguely connected with Changshui County. Ping'an's report was a contribution, but Zhang Qianhu insisted on Ping'an to enter the ghost ship this time in order not to make any mistakes."
"I don't agree, but I can't resist Zhang Qianhu's insistence on doing it alone. In the end, Zhang Qianhu's command in Yinghuazhou Qianhu's office is really hard to resist him."
"Thank you, Mr. Huaiyuan." Dou Changsheng said with gratitude and tears. He admired the ability to shirk responsibility and threw the blame. He was also slightly surprised. Whether Xuan Jingsi beat you or provoked you, he would always blame Xuan Jingsi.
"Thank you for your hard work, please come in!" Dou Fangde's solemn expression was flattered. This was not a hypocritical act, but a real emotion.
Song Yu came from a famous family and a famous scholar in Longhua. He came to visit him late at night to apologize. What is this?
This is the polite and nobles.
The cruelty of the class is undoubtedly revealed. With Song Yu's status for the grassroots class, this is enough to make the other party die and sacrifice his life for it.
Dou Changsheng's heart was very turbulent. In Dou Changsheng's eyes, Dou Fangde was skilled and ruthless, and was worthy of being a master of talent, but now he still had serious shortcomings.
Dou Changsheng has a new touch on the cruelty of this era.
Throughout history, this has been the case, and modern times cannot escape. After the leader shakes hands with you, you will no longer say that the leader is bad, but this era is even more cruel.
The crowd returned to the main hall and exchanged a few greetings. Song Yu began to ask about the whole story of the Ghost Ship.
Dou Changsheng said the words he had been in the industry for 23 years, experienced various cases, and experienced old man Xuanjingsi, and removed the dross and took the essence.
There is no added fuel to the fire, because one point is fat, and one point is thinner.
"Liu Baihu was killed bravely, worthy of his official position, and even more worthy of the world. He is a hero." When Song Bi heard the end, he couldn't help but praise him.
"I dare to ask Mr. Huaiyuan, what is the details of this ghost ship?"
"It is worth Zhang Qianhu's treatment so solemnly?" Dou Fangli could no longer bear it and asked and preached. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by Dou Fangde: "Second, this is a secret of the court. You shouldn't inquire. You must not inquire."
"This matter is not small? It involves the rebellion of the king of Changshui County." Song Bi shook his head slightly and said.
Song Yu looked at Song Bi with dissatisfaction. He didn't even have a door in his mouth. What did he ask? He just said something directly.
He took a deep breath and explained with a smile: "There are ghosts in Changshui County who are showing off their evil spirits. Recently, the details have been found. They are a grass-headed king in the late years of the previous dynasty."
"Because of the negligence of the Changshui County Xuanjing Baihu House, it became a climate, and recently began to plot against Longhua County."
"This time, the evil ghost of the ghost ship is the general sent by the anti-king. Fortunately, Ping An reported this matter, which allowed Xuan Jingsi to understand the conspiracy, cut off the anti-king tentacles, and severely damaged the anti-king forces. I believe that Zhang Qianhu will pacify the anti-king soon."
If you put it lightly, just make the facts clear and summarize it will not be a big deal. If you wait for a while, good news will come.
Even if the people present didn't believe it, they wouldn't ask.
"Ping An wants to participate in the imperial examination in the near future?" Song Yu took the initiative to change the topic and asked.
“That’s right!”
"Our imperial examination is divided into three levels of imperial examinations, county examinations, prefecture examinations, and capital examinations. After the county examinations, the imperial court will award scholarly fame. It can be seen that the officials will not be appointed, and they can be admitted to the government from now on and get a ninth rank."
"The fame and reputation of the Juren in the State Examination is from the eighth rank, but the Beijing Examination requires the palace examination. The list is divided into three grades, each with its advantages and disadvantages, so I won't talk about it for the time being."
"The scholar's fame is not easy to obtain. I was awarded a scholar in the imperial examinations of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was granted an official position. I was the emperor and shepherd guarded the side. I did not go to the Daqian Dynasty in the front dynasty, and the scholar was just a general term."
"After passing the county trial, you can enter the official career. There are thousands of students competing for this path."
"The words of the saints in the Four Books and Five Classics have thousands of principles. They open up their wisdom, know etiquette, and understand human relations, but the words of the saints are too profound."
"It is absolutely impossible to make a name for yourself by rote memorization."
"The county should pay attention to literary talent and rather than lack of anything."
"This Song Gong's letter was carefully copied after returning. It has three parts of charm and is not difficult to condense literary spirit. But if you pass the county examination, if you have seven parts of charm, it is not a problem to take the Beijing examination."
"Take it out!" Song Yu looked at Song Bi who was shy and couldn't help but speak again.
Then Song Bi took out a copybook helplessly and put his hands in Dou Changsheng's hands reluctantly.
Dongdongdongdongdong!!!!!!
A heavy knock on the door was heard, and a loud voice shouted outside: "Dou Dianshi, open the door, a family came here to tell you specifically that your nephew is dead, prepare for the coffin to be buried."
