Chapter 152 The Imperial Examination Begins(1/2)

Author: big bell

Everyone said that Shusun Tong was a righteous person, and Li Zhao became a shame to students, and the two books were even rejected by everyone.

In Gaofu, Gao Qiu was very happy after hearing the news, but he became anxious the next moment, because his son still had two thousand books in his hand. If he wanted to sell them, wouldn't it mean that no one would care about them?

He immediately hurriedly found his son and told him to sell it immediately before the storm became serious, but Gao Fugui ignored him.

"The sale of these two books requires an opportunity, but the time has not yet come!"

"If you haven't reached your age, the two books are banned. How can you get an opportunity? This is a lost opportunity." Gao Qiu angrily retorted.

Gao Fugui shook his head, "The second book says that all new things rise because of an opportunity. You don't understand, you don't understand!"

"Return Ershu, do you want to make me angry to death?"

"Prodigal thing, prodigal! Why did I give birth to a son like you?" Gao Qiu was so angry that he fainted for the third time.

As time went by, from late autumn to the approaching cold winter, the chill was chilly, but Xianyang was warm and noisy, because the imperial examination was approaching and tens of thousands of students gathered together, which was such a grand occasion.

In Chang'an Township, Xiao He carried his luggage. In addition to the necessities, it also contained two books. This was specially given by the young master. The young master's meaning was very simple. The two books were the way to survive and could not be left behind. He could only vaguely say

accepted.

Anyway, whatever the young master said was right, he was numb.

Before leaving, the young master did not see him off and urged him to leave quickly, which was an eyesore.

On the contrary, the slaves and farmers in Chang'an Township were very enthusiastic and lined up to encourage them enthusiastically, which moved Xiao He deeply.

To be honest, Xiao He was still keen on the imperial examination, but he was always suppressed by the young master, so he could only suppress this enthusiasm in his heart. At this moment, being made such a fuss made his blood boil, but when he thought of the waste in the past few days, he was discouraged.

It seems that he has not been exposed to classics during this period of time. Teach him how to take the exam.

"Hey!" He could only sigh helplessly and prepared to go on his way.

Li Jinong came over and patted him gently on the shoulder. It seemed that he had countless words to say, but he couldn't say them out. Really, he didn't know what to say. Could it be that he wished him success? This was obviously an insult to Xiao He.

How could Xiao He, who had no classics to review, succeed?

He could only say comfortingly: "It doesn't matter. It's rare to give it a try in life. If you try it, you won't regret it in the future."

Xiao He felt disgusted when he heard these words. Why did these words seem to be belittling him more and more. This guy obviously supported him, but he said depressing words. Did he look down on him so much?

Alas! In fact, he even looks down on himself.

At the same time, in Gaofu, Gao Qiu looked at his son with complicated eyes. He had millions of encouraging words to say, but he couldn't say them out. In fact, he had no hope for his son at all.

Instead, Gao Fugui saw his father's thoughts, glanced angrily, and said, "Old man, do you look down on your son that much?"

"Don't worry, my son has accomplished a lot in his studies. He will definitely be ranked first on the gold medal list, and it's no problem to be at the top of the list."

Listening to his son's magic words, Gao Qiu really wanted to pass out, but he couldn't pass out at this moment. He still wanted to send his son to the battlefield, even though he knew that his son was just a cannon fodder.

But he couldn't say such words. Instead, he forced out the words: "Take the test well, father is waiting for good news about you."

"Hehe!" Gao Fugui smiled very confidently, "Don't worry, old man..." I don't know when he started to like to call his father "old man". In fact, the old man is also very kind. There is less generation gap and more warmth.

"Just wait for my good news at home. No, you should also invite your relatives and friends to a banquet in advance to prepare for me to win the championship. My son is 100% sure, and he will be proud of his ancestors in the near future."

That confidence was extremely inflated.

Gao Qiu almost fainted from the boy's arrogance. It was his usual style to recognize the facts. Why didn't his son learn from it?

Gao Fugui left, and Gao Qiu did not want to see him off. He went back to his room alone, feeling sad and crying alone.

The Imperial Examination Supervisor was surrounded by guards on three floors inside and three outside. It could be said that not a fly could fly in. This was all to prevent fraud.

At this moment, thousands of students filed in.

The first imperial examination in the Qin Dynasty finally kicked off.

There were no too luxurious facilities in the imperial examination hall, just tens of thousands of desks neatly arranged together, and blankets on the ground. But even such simple things could not eliminate the nervousness of the students.

Of course, there are also those who are full of confidence. At this moment, in the preparation room, three or five people approached Gao Fugui, it was the servant's son Shen and his admirers.

Shen's group has a graceful demeanor, quite like a Confucian scholar, but shows the essence of Legalism. Looking at it makes one feel intimidated and has a feeling of being superior.

This is a sign of confidence.

Some of the admirers of "Gao Fugui" knew Gao Fugui and said, "You haven't come to see Mr. Shen yet."

After hearing this, Shen acted as if he was taking it for granted and showed his arrogance.

"You must know that Mr. Shen is the popular candidate for this imperial examination. He must be number one on the list! Do you know what it means? It means that he will be greatly appreciated by His Majesty and will soon be among the courtiers. Such a noble person

, you deserve to see me."

If it were an ordinary person who would follow Yan's influence, I'm afraid he would pay homage to him, but how could Gao Fugui be so aloof and arrogant that he would casually follow Yan's influence, even if he was the son of a servant, even if he had endless potential.

"Go away, don't hinder me from preparing for the exam." Gao Fugui glanced at a few people coldly, his attitude was neither salty nor indifferent.

Hehe! How is it possible for him to meet a peer of his own age?

It was mentioned in the political speech that everyone is equal, and equality is the basis for people to live in harmony. As soon as this guy comes, he has to pay homage to him. Doesn't this mean he wants to surrender? How can there be talk of equality? These admirers can be enslaved, but he can

Can't do it.

Hearing Gao Fugui's words, the admirer was very unhappy and his attitude became perverse.

"Preparing for the exam? Haha! Are you preparing for the exam when you are rich and noble? What a big joke. Who doesn't know that you are rich and have no knowledge and skills? Does the exam have anything to do with you?"

"Let me tell you, with your qualifications, you can only get ahead by following Mr. Shen. As for the imperial examination! Don't have any delusions." The admirer laughed arrogantly.

How disdainful.

Gao Fugui was not angry, but very calm: "Really? Why do I feel that Kao has a lot to do with me? I even feel that Kao can make me soar, but you, you are so natural to be a slave, your family is a slave

?"

Yes, since learning the second book, he feels that his whole person has been sublimated, as if his thoughts have been raised to a new level, which makes him full of endless confidence in himself.

This confidence made him unrestrained and wanted to vent it out.

Slavery is a great shame for these powerful children. For a moment, all the admirers were angry, and Shen even turned solemn and looked at Gao Fugui unkindly.

But for such low-level people, he only took a look at them.

"Gao Fugui, what are you talking about? You are seeking death!" Some admirers raised their fists in anger.

There are also admirers who are more calm, but are very sarcastic, "I want to see how you do in the exam? How do you soar into the sky?"

The rich and powerful are too lazy to pay attention to them. How can a sparrow know what a swan can do?

At the same time, someone in the other corner burst into joy when they saw Xiao He and hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother, I've seen you." This person is Cao Shen. He was kicked out of Chang'an Township last time and could not see Xiao He. He was very happy to see him this time.

"Brother Cao, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you are fine again!" Xiao He clasped his fists.

"Very good, very good!" Cao Shen was very sad to see his friend again. A few months ago, they were studying hard together. A few months later, he was still studying hard, but his brother had no chance to study together.

Sorry brother!

However, in order not to make his brother sad, he still encouraged him, "Brother, work hard, let's get on the list together." As soon as he said these words, Cao Shen regretted it, and these words seemed to be very hurtful.

Xiao He didn't care and started chatting with each other.

"My lord is here!"

Just after hearing a loud shout, a superior came out and the noisy scene immediately fell silent.

"When the imperial examination begins, I should have seen the examiner. The scholars are all in their seats and paying their respects to you."

The superior shouted sternly, and the students all became cautious, and quickly spontaneously formed a row and knelt down together.

At this time, a man walked over, quite majestic, it was Feng Quji.

His appearance was immediately greeted by a loud audience, and his voice was full of reverence and joy.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Feng Quji smiled and raised his hand, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Sir!" All the students stood up and looked at this arrogant figure, their hearts filled with passion.

The examiner has announced it a long time ago, and everyone knows that he is the Prime Minister of the dynasty, but it is such an honor to meet the Prime Minister now.

It should be noted that among the thousands of students, most of them are from poor families and farmers. When have they ever seen the Prime Minister? Not to mention the Prime Minister, none of the nine ministers are qualified to see him.

"Where is Xiao He?" Suddenly, the master spoke, but it was not a word of encouragement, but a call to someone.

The students listened to it and discussed it one after another.

Xiao He? Your Excellency, you want to see Xiao He?

The students all raised their heads and looked around.

The name Xiao He is familiar! In fact, it has become a sorrow in the hearts of students recently.

The distinguished student was detained by Li Zhaona, who also forcibly took away the classics, making it impossible for him to review, and forced him to read miscellaneous books.

What a shame, this shame came from Xiao He.

He was a talented person with excellent qualifications, but he ended up like this, which is extremely sad!
