Chapter 679 Vientiane
On the tenth day after Enko ended, the imperial wall was surrounded by people, and they were waiting anxiously.
Even though the government and the country are boiling, there are still countless people who are fanatical about the imperial examination, hoping to be on the list all over the world.
"Come?"
Outside the crowd, a woman's cold voice came from a carriage, saying, "Have the results been released?"
"Madam, not yet." The middle-aged man outside the door glanced at the city wall and hurried back to the carriageway.
This carriage looks unusual at first glance, and the people sitting inside are either rich or noble.
The woman was quiet for a while and said, "Where is Erlang?"
The middle-aged man said, "Erlang has gone out of the city to have a trip and said he will be back tomorrow."
The woman's voice became more happy and said, "It seems that he still knows the importance of it. Wait. After the results are released, whether it is on the list or not, he will go out to study and be a candidate, so he will not enter the officialdom."
"Yes." The middle-aged man responded.
On the other side, the family surrounded a young man, nervous and stared at the city wall.
A young girl said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, you will definitely be able to pass this time. You have taken the exam three times..."
The young man is almost thirty years old, with some gray hair on his temples. He glanced at his faint eyes everywhere, his scalp was numb, and he whispered: "I don't want to be there this time..."
The old mother slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Nothing is true, I will definitely win this time!"
His father was a gray-haired old man. He looked old and felt like he was old. He touched his beard and suddenly said, "What are you worried about?"
The young man glanced around again and said, "My mentor doesn't want me to participate in this encore. It is said that there are endless troubles and people will settle the score later."
The old father obviously knew something and said thoughtfully: "What your teacher said is not unreasonable. Don't look at the momentum of reform. Once something happens, it will be lightning-like. It is inevitable that the score will be settled in the autumn after the autumn is settled!"
When the old mother heard this, she hurriedly said, "What should I do? Otherwise, let's go so that we won't be recognized."
The young man said: "Now... the best way is to miss it and suffer less from it in the future."
The old father also felt that the crowd around him was unusual, and sighed and said, "I knew it wouldn't have let you participate."
The young man looked helpless and felt uneasy.
Not far away from them, there was a group of people who looked at their clothes and were children from poor families.
The young man in the lead was quite tall, and his tone was confident and cheerful, saying, "This time I will definitely be able to become an official and show my ambitions!"
There were a few young people beside him and said, "Brother Wang said that when you become an official, you must not forget us!"
"Yes, in order for you to study, our families are almost starving to death."
"Brother Wang, don't talk about anything else, at least we have to take a few steps to take our families. We can't continue to stay in that mountain valley. I'm afraid of being poor!"
The 'Brother Wang' looked around and said louder: "Don't worry! If I were an official, I would never lose a lot. As long as I had it, you would have it! Have you seen those people? They are only seventh-rank officials, with a large house that has three in and three out, with hundreds of servants, and the food and clothing are the best. Not only there are big houses, but also countless fertile land. They just lie at home and do nothing. Every year there is a large rent, enough for several generations of food and drink..."
A group of people looked at the people entering and leaving the palace gate, and all looked envious.
In an inconspicuous corner, Li Gang, who was only a teenager and young, had his hands behind his back and looked depressed.
Although he has not yet announced the ranking, he is already very clear that he will not win the first place.
Although I had expected it and I was just here to experience it this time, I was still disappointed.
"I don't know if my father knows it, will he be disappointed with me?" Li Gangmu looked south. He knew that his father Li Kui was working in the south and would not come back to the capital for a while.
At the same time, the Political Affairs Hall.
Bi Jian has been here for a long time. He acted as an ordinary civil servant, traveling through it, and contacting all the great figures at the highest level of the Song Dynasty.
"How is it, are you nervous?" Pei Yin came out of Wen Yanbo's duty room and was about to turn back to the green tiled room. When he saw Bi Jian coming towards him, he said with a smile.
Bi Jian didn't know that Yijia had already decided, holding a plate of official documents in both hands, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Pei made fun of me. He just came out of Mr. Cai and said that Mr. Wang would return to Beijing soon and asked me to clean up a duty room for Mr. Wang. I was having a headache..."
The relationship between the Zhengshi Hall is very complicated. Wang Cun originally had a house in the house, but was later ordered by Zhang Dun to use it for other purposes. There are not many rooms in the Zhengshi Hall, and you have to clean up a suitable location for Wang Cun. It is not that simple?!
Pei Yin ignored it and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. It will take a few more days. Let's go out for a drink. When I come back, I will tell you a great thing!"
Bi Jian looked towards the palace gate and said hesitantly: "Brother Pei, the results are about to be released..."
"I said that after drinking, I will tell you that something great is good news. Let's go." Pei Yin pulled Bi Jian out without saying a word.
Bi Jian sighed twice and saw Cen Yan coming towards him.
Cen Yan's face was even more bitter than Bi Jian. He raised his hand to Pei Yin, and Bi Jian said, "Don't rush to drink first. The Ministry of Revenue is short of staff. Please transfer some people from our Political Affairs Hall over."
Pei Yin immediately realized that the Ministry of Revenue borrowed people and those who came to the Political Affairs Hall were clearly aimed at the newly promoted Jinshi and other Jinshi students.
However, no matter where you go, as long as you don’t do anything randomly, you will definitely have a bright future in the future!
Pei Yin let go Bi Jian, stretched his waist and said, "This wine cannot be drunk. The Ministry of Revenue, I don't like it very much, it's a philistine. If you want to go, go, don't go. The Ministry of Revenue is borrowing people, not recruiting. Okay, go whatever you should do!"
After saying that, Pei Yin turned around and left.
"Zhou Sheren, today is a little strange..." Cen Yan turned to Bi Jian with confusion on his face.
Bi Jian was all in his heart and said helplessly: "Don't bother him for now, do you want to go and see the results together?"
Cen Yan was a little open-minded and said, "It's so painful to see. Wait for someone to tell me. Will you go to the Ministry of Revenue? Mr. Wu and Shangshu Liang looked for me several times, saying that it was Enko, and let me go to the south to lead the rescinding and finishing of the Transportation Department."
Bi Jian shook his head and said, "I won't go. I will have to go to the Tongzhengsi Department later, and then to the Ministry of Personnel. I really have no time."
"Then let's take a look at the results. After reading them, I'll tell me when I'm back." After Cen Yan said that, he walked inside. He really didn't plan to go and see them.
Looking at Cen Yan's back, Bi Jian took a deep breath and said in a secret alert: "My qi cultivation skills are still not good..."
Even though he said so, he turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
This is the imperial examination, which is related to the future. How many people can easily deal with it?
