After the father and son had dinner in the restaurant, Chu Suiliang hurried to find a few classmates to get together. Chu Liang was carrying a bamboo cage food box, which contained extra food. Chu Liang was very frugal and spent three dollars to eat a meal. Of course, the leftover food had to be packed and taken away.

He slowly walked to the south city gate, and from a distance he saw dozens of wooden cages carrying a wooden pole on the left side of the south city gate. There were heads in the cages, including men, women, young and old. There were large notices on the wall. The notices were not new. It had been about ten days. The content was the same as the friend said. The Luo family of Lishi County privately cast official coins, using inferiority as good as good, and according to the Great Sui rule, he killed fifty-two family members to warn the world.

Chu Liang nodded, softness helps the poor and weak, helps the elderly and the strictness, acts with thunder and decisiveness, and kills one to warn a hundred. It is indeed a way to achieve long-term stability and stability. Being generous and gentle will only make the people restless and the officials have no majesty; being strict will make the people resent and the officials are in opposition. The Northern Sui court did this very well.

At this time, Chu Liang found a large black iron box on the right side of the city gate, and there were two soldiers standing next to it. He was a little curious, so he walked over quickly and walked to the iron box before he realized that it was a large mailbox, which opened its mouth to throw a book. The front of the box said "Chief Taihu" and he was a little confused and wanted to ask the two soldiers, but the two soldiers ignored him like clay sculptures.

A hearty laugh suddenly came from behind, "This is the box where the Censorate collected people's sentiments, but it is actually a box for suing the officials."

When Chu Liang turned around, he found a young official in his twenties standing behind him. Seeing that his fish sign was only about eighth rank, he was probably the official in charge of the "Censor's Taitou".

Chu Liang put down the food box, bowed his hand and asked with a smile, "May I ask... Is this the place where the people seek justice?"

The official showed a meaningful smile and said implicitly: "In fact, it is not just the people who seek justice, but officials can also sue each other...."

Chu Liang suddenly realized that the people can sue officials, and officials can sue officials. In fact, it is not scary for the people to sue officials. What is scary is that the officials sue officials. Generally, the evidence is conclusive, the content is detailed, and the ones are accurate, and it will not tear the face. This is a ruthless way to govern officials. As for whether the Censorate is impeached or not, it is another matter.

"I understand, thank you!"

Chu Liang nodded and turned to the Sui Pavilion. He walked up the steps and an official came out, looked him up and down and asked with a smile: "Is this gentleman an old official in the Sui Dynasty?"

Chu Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I have been an official of the Chen Dynasty, an official of the Sui Dynasty, and an official of the Western Qin Dynasty. Now I want to be an official of the Northern Sui Dynasty. I wonder if the people need seniors like me, like me?"

The highly anticipated Northern Sui Dynasty imperial examination finally ended with cheers from the scholars. In the next few days, the scholars were traveling around Taiyuan City, drinking and gathering to talk about the world, making friends through literature, writing poetry and fighting sourness. Young or old scholars were enjoying the rare imperial examination festival in this life.

In the closed marking hall of Imperial College, more than 100 doctors transferred from Pei Xue, Wang Xue and Imperial College are nervously reviewing the piles of test papers.

The examiner was Li Gang. Although this old man, who was nearly 70 years old, still stubbornly refused to serve as an official in the Northern Sui Dynasty, he did not refuse Yang Yuanqing's suggestion to ask him to be the examiner. He was willing to select talents and educate his juniors.

The chief examiner's duty is not to participate in the marking, but to ensure fairness in the marking and to finalize the qualifications of 200 admitted candidates. He cannot allow the occurrence of confusion and favoritism and fraud. In addition, some controversial articles are also decided by the chief examiner.

More than 20,000 test papers are divided into three-level screening. First, the centralized assessment of policy discussions can be conducted. Only those who pass the policy discussion can enter the next round, and the next round is poetry. Those who look at the format, rhythm, and poetic realm. Those who are all excellent in all three can enter the third round. After posting the scriptures, the final selection of 3,000 preliminary qualified people is selected, and then the best one hundred and seventy people are selected from the 3,000 people.

Only 170 people were admitted fairly through the exam, and there were thirty places that needed to be decided by Yang Yuanqing. He allocated these thirty places to major famous families as needed.

There is no absolute fairness in the world. Although the scholars put forward the slogan "Don't want family, be fair", and even many children of famous families also participated in this parade of seeking fairness, Yang Yuanqing still could not achieve true fairness.

In the future, the world may be able to achieve true fairness, but in the troubled times, he cannot do it. He needs to win over all the famous families in Hebei to him through the imperial examinations. This is of great significance to the rapid stabilization of the political situation after occupying Hebei in the future, and it will even highlight its role when he launches the Hebei Battle.

Li Gang also understood Yang Yuanqing's difficulties. He silently accepted this arrangement. In fact, he knew in his heart that Yang Yuanqing only took away half of the quota, which was already a huge concession to them.

"Teacher Li, the famous stickers on this test paper have fallen off."

A doctor of the paper marking stood up, held up a test paper high, and asked Li Gang, "How to deal with this test paper?"

The so-called "luo name" means that after filling in the name, hometown and examination number before the exam, you must use a long note to paste the name, hometown and examination number, and it cannot be seen. If you deliberately make a mistake or not, the test paper will be invalidated on the spot. This is an extremely strict regulation, but unexpected situations may also occur, such as the name of the name that is actually lost in front of you.

"Take it over and show it to me!"

The doctor of the paper marking paper quickly handed a test paper to Li Gang. Li Gang quickly glanced at his name, Wang Ji, from Taiyuan, and he looked at the poem he wrote again: Looking at the east tower in the evening, where can he rely on the moving side? The trees are all autumn colors, and the mountains are only sunset.

The poem is well written, and the scriptures are all correct. The strategy and theory are rated as the best. If you follow this rating, this Wang Ji should have entered the top ten, but why did his famous words leave? He is also from the Wang clan of Taiyuan.

If the secret name slips out of no reason and is related to the relevant candidates, then the test paper will be invalidated. Li Gang pondered for a long time. He used a note to cover his name and hometown again, and took a pen to review the test paper himself.

The three-day marking time passed quickly. That morning, Li Gang came to Ziwei Pavilion with a sealed leather bag and walked into the meeting hall. Yang Yuanqing and the five prime ministers had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Sorry! It's a little late." Li Gang walked into the room and apologized to everyone.

"Mr. Li has worked hard these days."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "We have been looking forward to it for a long time, but I don't know who will fall in the first place?"

According to the regulations of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, scholars must go to the Ministry of Rites to submit a letter to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the provincial examination, so the first place was called the leader of the prosecutor or the top scholar. Although Yang Yuanqing received thirty places, everyone unanimously asked that these thirty people could not enter the first class, but could only enter the second class.

The first academy is the top twenty, which is called Jinshi, while the second academy is the last one hundred and seventy, which is called Jinshi.

Li Gang opened his leather bag, and there was a thick list of test papers. Below was a stack of test papers. They were the top ten test papers. The official ranking of the top ten required the Ziweige Prime Minister to decide.

Pei Ju saw at a glance that the person ranked second was Pei Qingsong, a child of the Pei family. His heart suddenly jumped. The third place was Wang Ji, who knew that this person was Wang Xu's clan. He was quite famous in Hedong, and the first place was a person he had never heard of. Chu Suiliang, the surname Chu, should be from Yangdi. He knew that there was a great scholar of the Southern Dynasty who was as famous as Yu Shinan.

Li Gang explained to everyone: "This is a good idea for Chu Suiliang to write poems and post scriptures, especially his calligraphy is very good, which is quite unique in style. I feel ashamed of myself, and all the doctors in the ratings unanimously elected him as the first name."

Everyone took his test paper and looked at it carefully. The handwriting was indeed well written, bright and charming, but it was calm and fluttering. Although it was still a little lacking in time, it might be related to his age. In time, he would definitely be a master of calligraphy.

Yang Yuanqing carefully looked at the admission list, and all the thirty people he arranged were among them. Shen Bai's son Chen Zhan ranked thirty-four, and he smiled and asked everyone, "How about it? Will you just post the list according to this list?"

Wang Xu bit his lips. He was a little dissatisfied with Pei Qingsong's younger brother Wang Ji. But he couldn't say anything because of Pei Ju's face. Wang Ji's argument was wrong, and Pei Qingsong was right. However, there was a sentence he made in his posting, which was not perfect.

Pei Ju understood his feelings and smiled at everyone, "Otherwise, transfer Pei Qingsong to third place! After all, Wang Ji is a famous scholar in Jinzhong, and he is even more convinced in front of him."

Wang Xu didn't say anything. He actually agreed to Pei Ju's suggestion. Yang Yuanqing thought about it and asked Li Gang again, "What do you think sir?"

Li Gang smiled and said, "The two are almost the same, I have no objection."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Then adjust it slightly, Wang Ji is second, and Pei Qingsong is third."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At noon, more than 20,000 scholars rushed to the schoolyard next to the North City from all directions, blocking the schoolyard so much that it was blocked and only saw dense heads.

Although there will be special officials going to various inns to report good news to the scholars, it is at least one hour later than the listing, so the scholars rushed to the school venue to read the rankings.

The gold list has been posted, and it is posted on 30 large wooden signs, with soldiers underneath it. In addition to the 200 scholars who passed the exam, there are also two thousand lists of admitted to Imperial College.

This gives many people a comfort. Although they cannot pass the Jinshi exam, they can at least study in the Imperial College and will have the opportunity to enter the officialdom in the future.

Some officials were shouting loudly: "Sirs, please go back. Officials will come to report the good news. The list will be kept for ten days, and you can watch the list tomorrow or the next day!"

He shouted loudly, but no one listened to his advice. The list was filled with countless heads checking the list, and there were surprise shouts from time to time.

Perhaps because of the first imperial examination, did the officials who issued the list have any thoughts. The scholars would not leave after reading it once. They could not find their names once, and they would look for them the second, third or even fourth time. In this way, the people behind them could not see the list and were so anxious that they shouted.

Chu Suiliang came one step late, with thousands of people already crowded in front of him, and no one left for a long time. He was very anxious. It depends on when he saw it?

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, Yuhang Chu Suiliang, and he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted: "I'm here!"

The school ground suddenly became quiet, and thousands of eyes in front looked at him together, making him feel guilty and wonder what happened?

"What happened?" he asked the people around him with a dry laugh.

A scholar stared at him and slowly said word by word: "Yuhang Chu Suiliang is the top scholar in the imperial examination this time!"
