The list of Jinshi candidates was short, and Yang Zhao read it quickly, but with a sideways gaze, he looked coldly at Yang Guangxiang who was standing aside. [Remember the domain name of this website xs520．

“Zhongcheng?” Yang Guangxiang felt uneasy and said cautiously: “Except for Gao Shi’s failure, this list is the same as Zhongcheng’s requirements.”

 He has just accomplished a great feat.

From his point of view, the purpose of keeping him in the Ministry of Rites to keep an eye on him was to ensure that Yang Xuan, the young man, passed the Ming Jing high school. But Da Xixun, a rat like him, actually said that Yang Xuan's test paper was too bad and suggested that he wait for two years before taking the Ming Jing.

Yang Guangxiang immediately reported the votes, and Yang Zhao scolded Da Xixun, "My son can also win the Jinshi. Why do you want to betray me?!" Da Xixun was helpless, so he named Yang Xuan as the top candidate in Mingjing.

 Thus, Yang Guang failed to pay attention to some rumors about Jinshi Branch.

"Same?"

Yang Zhao raised his hand and slapped Yang Guang, scolding: "Do you know that you are being wanted? You can make an accident happen for me with such a simple thing."

 “I wonder what’s wrong with me?” Gao Shi’s paper slandered, “Did you know that Xue Bai’s father’s name is Xue Ling?”

I know." Yang Guang still didn't react. "Do you know it's taboo in the examination room? Why didn't you stop me from reading when the questions were asked?"

Yang Guang shook his head repeatedly and said: "The lower-ranking officials are not those who entered the official position through the imperial examination. Only a few officials are awarded to the Jinshi in a year. The lower-ranking officials have their own connections."

 “Mother.”

Yang Zhao was about to scold him again, but suddenly he heard the news.

“Alang, I have a visitor asking to see you. I call myself Li Tan. I am the Li family of Zhao County. I am the son-in-law of Duke Zhang of Shangzhu State.”

“Li Tan? Are you here because of his gambling with ghost wife?”

Yang Zhao subconsciously rubbed his hands and went to the hall to see Li Tan.

The two parties exchanged greetings very politely, and the guests and hosts sat down. Yang Zhao said: "Don't worry, as long as Jin Wuwei takes down those disciples who dare to bully your wife, I will tell Dali Temple to skin them. I still have some face."

Li Tan said: "I'm just curious. Those four gangsters are Xue Ling's friends. If Xue Ling can't be found, why don't they go find his wife and children?"

Yang Zhao smiled and said: "How to come forward? Is it possible to collect gambling debts on behalf of my wife?"

Li Tan shook his head helplessly and said, "I heard today that Xue Bai won the first prize?"

 “His holy love is so strong that there is nothing he can do.”

“Well, I’m not here today for this matter.” Li Tan asked with a smile: “Yang Zhongcheng is also the doctor of Duzhi?”

“Oh? But is there a magic way to make money?”

“Yang Zhongcheng clearly guards Jinshan, why do you ask me? I heard that the craftsmanship of bamboo paper is getting better and better, but the price has dropped.

 The low price is eight yuan, the expensive one is twelve yuan?"

 “From now on, it is also possible to pay three bills for one coin.”

“Does Yang Zhongcheng know how much a piece of white rattan paper sells for in Dongshi?”

 “How are you doing?”

Li Tan took out a few letters and deeds from his sleeves and said: "I just want to give Yang Zhongcheng some properties in the hope that we can make bamboo paper together."

  "This matter is not something I can decide."

"If Yuan Zai was gone, Xue Bai, wouldn't my uncle just listen to you, Yang Zhongcheng? The craft has not spread yet, and there is still time to hold on to it. As long as we hold on to it, it will be a huge profit."

Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows, reacted, and said in surprise: "So it's you? Haha, let's show us how powerful this spring is, right? No, you can't convince Cui Qiao."

“That’s right.” Li Tan nodded and said, “This idea came from the prince-in-law. He is a smart man, so it’s right to listen to him. NN

 Xianyi Princess Mansion.

 “Consort, please take a look.”

 A servant copied the list of Jinshi from the Rites Court and ran back and handed it to Yang Hui.

Yang Hui only looked at the top of the list and asked in surprise: "Is it really top-notch?"

Xue Bai?" Li Niang said, "But didn't the prince-in-law say that once the question came up, he was hopeless?"

"Yes. Remember the whole book, 520 readings, website: xs520.co" Yang Hui said doubtfully: "Even if Xue Bai refused to give up the exam, Cui Qiao clearly knew Xue Ling's name, and she dared to ask the question, and selected the number one scholar as the subject.

The examiner also committed a taboo."

"What's the meaning?"

"According to what everyone said that night, forcing Xue Bai to give up the exam, or not counting him on the list, is enough to intimidate Yang. Give Yang Dang a lesson, let Yuan Zai take those poor scholars to get out, and grab the bamboo paper

Craftsmanship." Yang Hui murmured: "Then why does Cui Qiao want to make things worse even at the expense of herself?"

 “Genubi’s one?”

Yang Hui pondered and murmured: "Xue Bai is the same as Yang Zhao. They are both motivated dogs and will not give up on the exam. Now he has won the top prize. It's like a dog biting a bone. How can he spit it out? If it can't be done well, it will be involved. To his bullshit life experience."

Thinking of this, he frowned and became more and more puzzled.

“Why did Zhang Zan do this?”

Li Niang was surprised and said: "The prince-in-law doesn't mean...Zhang Zeng has even considered this, right? He adopted Xue Bai. If this matter is revealed, he will be the first to be suspected by the saint."

“Stop arguing, let me think about what he said when we were drinking that night...

 “Noisy? Do you think I’m noisy?!”

The three people drinking in the restaurant were all a bit silent. The main reason was that Gao Shi didn't speak much. He took a pen and paper and wrote out the poem for Xue Bai to read.

"That's it." Xue Bai said without saying anything more, "I said I would give it a try at the beginning."

Thousands of scholars all over the world passed the provincial examination. More than 700 people gathered in Chang'an to take the imperial examination. Only 27 people got the first place. How can we give up one place to Gao Shi, a boy from a poor family in Guandong?

Although Xue Bai promised to do his best, he did not dare to bet with Yuan Zai that Gao Shi would be on the list.

What's more, he wrote such a poem. He had never been an official for a day, and all he could think about was teaching the emperor how to be an emperor.

I have been very restrained." Gao Shi sighed: "I have praised Li Linfu before, how could I deliberately ruin the Spring Festival?

"Yes, I know, but why let Gao Sanwulang, who is "singing and dancing under the beauty's tent", write some mediocre examination works?" Xue Bai said: "I have tried it. Do you want to go under General Wang's tent? Or brother? General Shu's presence?"

The test has been tried, and it can be confirmed that the road to universal promotion for most talents in the world is blocked, and the Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty is far from achieving the effect of "all the heroes of the world will be included in Wu Yi".

There are less than twenty-seven Jinshi in a year. This is definitely not a path that ordinary people can take, let alone how many of these twenty-seven can be awarded official titles?

The most common way to get ahead in this world is to work behind the scenes in border towns.

Xue Lang, what suggestions do you have?" Gao Shi asked.

"If you ask me, then go to General Wang's tent." Xue Bai said: "Although there is no war in the east of the river, sooner or later it will be the most important thing.

"good!"

“Brother Gao, there’s no need to be angry. I believe you will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister sooner or later.”

 “Xue Lang is not very good at comforting people.“

Xue Bai only drank a glass of wine. Xue Bai did not stay with Gao Shi for too long. After all, he won the first prize and was not suitable to comfort people. When Dong Tinglan arrived, he left with Du Wulang.

 There were frustrated scholars everywhere outside the restaurant.

With this comparison, Xue Bai felt that the status of the number one scholar was even more precious.

ˆˆNN

 “The Number One Scholar is here!”

In Du's house, Quan Rui shouted, and everyone in the house was shocked and ran out. It was so lively.

 In fact, they have already sent people back to report the good news, including the news that Du Wulang has won the Ming Jing.

  Really won the top prize? Xue Lang will make a fortune soon! "

 Most of my money is in the hands of my eldest sister, how about eldest sister distributing it?"

"Why is it at the aunt's place? Oh, yes, the aunt is going to make a fortune soon."

Du Mei quickly turned her head to cover up the hint of anger when she looked at Xue Bai. In private, Xue Bai called her "Meiniang". [Remember the domain name of this website ｓ５20．

Finally getting rid of the noisy crowd, Du Wulang paid his respects to his parents, and the next moment he ran off to nowhere.

Xue Bai and the Du sisters went to the house to discuss things.

 As soon as the door was closed, it finally became quiet.

"I sent someone to inquire. This is the guest list for the banquet hosted by Li Tan and Zhang Si that night. I bribed some servants, so I should be able to confirm it." Du handed over the list, and when Du was not paying attention, he ticked Xue with the instep of his foot.

Bai's calf smiled and said: "Please take a look at it, Number One Scholar."

 “Well, okay.“

Xue Bai acted like a champion, took the list, glanced at it, and said, "There are indeed many princesses and consorts."

Du Miaodao: "But there are not many people involved with you. Zhang Zan knows your life experience, and Yang Hui doesn't look like someone who can plan this matter."

“Yes, Zhang Tan once protected me.”

Xue Bai glanced at Du and thought that he hadn't told her about the follow-up plan regarding his identity. If he did, she would definitely be very excited... However, the identity of the number one scholar is also rare.
