On April 13, 2018, the third year of Yuanfu in the Song Dynasty, outside the Donghua Gate of Kaifeng Prefecture Imperial City, there were crowds of people.

From Donghuamen to Maxing Street, to Panlou Street, Yu Street, Bianhe Street, and then to Liangmen and Wanshengmen, there are crowds of people along the way. High places along the street, whether it is a restaurant, a pavilion or a house, there are officials and people from Kaifeng Prefecture looking up at the windows of the street. Many of them are carefully dressed up, and they look shyly.

Vendors everywhere in Kaifeng Prefecture also arrived, carrying baskets and carrying loads, selling food, various sweet soups, and all kinds of tricks along the way.

Some vendors were carrying a bunch of book books and selling a miscellaneous calligraphy and painting album called "Wenquxing". They painted portraits of Jinshi who were about to march on horseback and were soon to be paraded on horseback, and also printed poems and lyrics of their beautiful articles.

Today is a good day for the new Jinshi to sing outside Donghuamen! Who doesn’t want to see with your own eyes what such a heroic and good man in the Song Dynasty looks like? Who doesn’t want to have a glimpse of their beautiful articles?

Besides, this miscellaneous book "Wenquxing" is not very expensive, it is just eighty copper coins. For people outside Kaifeng Prefecture, it may be a sum of money. However, for the people who have the most profitable land in the world and whose income may be the highest in Kaifeng Prefecture City in the world, it is not very low at all.

Besides, those who would pay for this book are not hard-working Lifu or idle men who have no serious errands, so they don’t know what good things are about the Jinshi articles? For them, this book is not as good as the picture album of "The Courtesan"!

Those who can buy "Wenquxing" are all rich citizens who have some spare money at home to make their sons or their own study progress. What is the 80 cents worth to them?

So in a short while, at least one-third of the people along the way were holding the first issue of "Wenquxing".

Many people looked through the article on the spot, and couldn't help but shake their heads and read them when they saw the exquisite article. A few of them even clapped their hands and applauded, as if they could really see what was good.

Kaifeng Prefecture, Imperial City Division, and the three yamen imperial guards have also drawn a lot of people to be on duty today. The imperial guards stand in front of the street and take the crowds behind them to clear out a narrow walkway so that the Jinshigongs who came out of Donghua Gate can ride their horses and pass through it.

At Donghua Gate, the most exciting moment is coming soon. The loud eunuch Tong Guan had already put on the scorching government office (he was not that high-ranking official, just to see through it), put on the sable gull, held a scroll in his hand, and stood on a temporary wooden platform, waiting for the auspicious time to come and sang the name loudly.

The so-called singing name outside Donghua Gate refers to this!

There are 561 literary and Jinshi, and dozens of martial Jinshi. Their names, hometowns, years, and rankings obtained in the exam must be sung loudly by Tong Guan.

After the roll title, the Jinshi riding a tall horse would come out from Donghua Gate under the guidance of Tong Guan and Wu Haogu, and parade the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture in a vast way, and then go to Qionglin Garden outside the city for dinner.

At this time, Wu Haogu had already put on his black painted mountain armor, lowered his head to check the gender of the horse... Uh, just to see if there is any "baby"!

Not every horse needs to be seen, just look at dozens of horses for Wu Jinshi. At this time, those Wu Jinshi were already wearing big red clothes, wearing squid heads, with flowers in his ears, and standing happily beside their respective horses.

A martial Jinshi is also a Jinshi! Although he is not as noble as a literary Jinshi, he is not as strong as a literary Jinshi, right?

However, it is not easy to become a martial arts Jinshi. The Ximen family in Yanggu had long wanted to hold on to a martial arts Jinshi, but unfortunately they had not succeeded for many years. This year, they also failed... It's not that the people of the Ximen family are not good at martial arts. Their female heroes can ride on a running horse and shoot arrows, and can hit targets, let alone men who take the martial arts Jinshi exam? They are all famous heroes in the world.

However, the articles of the heroes are generally not as good as the level of the art of war. Although they have read all seven books on military strategy, they cannot write about the theory of military strategy.

The theory of military strategy is not easy to write!

For example, the topic of "Military Art Theory" in this subject is about the use of the three formation diagrams of "square, round, and sharp" created by Han Qi in actual combat... Can this thing really be used in actual combat?

Well, let alone the samurai of the Ximen family who can't do this question, even if you let Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin resurrect from Yongchang Tomb to take the exam, you will definitely fail.

If Han Qi's formation map worked, Li Yuanhao would have been beaten to death long ago. How could there be two Queen Mother Liang?

However, if anyone wants to write this array picture, he will definitely not be able to pass the exam. Not only do he have to write a array picture, but he also has to blow out flowers. In fact, he is still competing for writing styles, which is not much different from the liberal arts examination. Therefore, the one who can pass the exam is not serious samurai, but rich and official children who fail to pass the exam.

You are poor, rich and powerful! Only the children of rich and official families can spend money to practice bows, horses, ride and shoot, and then use a wonderful pen to praise Han Qi's formation map to get a martial arts Jinshi.

As for those who have passed the Wu Jinshi, of course, they will not really lead troops, but will serve as civil servants. They are usually given the title of a county lieutenant to catch thieves, but they can catch a few, which is much better than the old man Wu Zhongyi.

In fact, Wu Jinshi was also a backdoor for the children of the Northern Song Dynasty officials. Therefore, when Wu Haogu "checked the horses", he met several acquaintances, all of whom were the children of the Kaifeng Prefecture generals. One of them was Pan Qiaolian's nephew, and they all greeted Wu Haogu very politely.

By the way, although the Song Dynasty divided the civil and military routes, and emphasized literature and over military affairs, the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty were quite good at speaking the military. Almost everyone read the Seven Books of Military Arts. In addition to the "strategic" formation map secretly collected by the Privy Council (the formation map is also a treasure. Zhao Guangyi's "Pingrong Wanquan Array Map" is a country's important weapon, and it is not for viewing it if it is less than a certain level), they are also familiar with ordinary formation maps, and some of them can also draw formation maps themselves. All the military strategy theory written are of high level!

After checking the horses, I returned to Donghua Gate and when I was at the forefront of the Jinshi team, Tong Guan had already started to sing the titles, and a full voice came.

"The first place in the first place, the top scorer, Li Bu..."

Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at the top scholar, a scholar in his twenties, full of books, standing next to a tall horse with a high spirit. The one who led him was a miscellaneous military official from the imperial guards, who looked quite capable.

"The second place in the first place, second place, Fan Zhiming..."

"The third place in the first place, Tanhua, Ji Yi..."

Tong Guan had already sung Ji Yi's name, and Wu Haogu also turned his attention. Ji Yi was already riding on the horse, and no one led the horse for him.

Ji Yi is a Confucian scholar who can ride a horse. She can sit on the back of a horse and shoot a few arrows (of course the horse cannot run). Although she cannot hit the target, she is also skilled among the literati of the Song Dynasty today. So he doesn't need the imperial guards to lead a horse for him, but he can control the horse by himself. However, looking at his horse's posture and nervous look, the horse's skills are not very good.

Wu Haogu turned his attention to his younger brother Wu Haowen. He was not very good at riding horses, so Wu Haogu picked a very well-behaved little mare from his home and asked Lin Wanchen to take him. It would be absolutely impossible.

Zhao Ji, the official of the Song Dynasty, also watched the fun at this time, but he did not make a big fuss. Instead, he was wearing casual clothes and imperial equipment, Gao Qiu, and Yang Jian, the big dick and Yang Jian, stood on the Donghua Tower together and looked down.

The three-month national mourning has passed. From today on, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture City will become a prosperous city that never sleeps again. The people standing outside Donghua Gate watching the fun all over the place were all planting flowers as if they were in the sight. From a distance, they looked like a sea of ​​flowers. It looked so beautiful!

Unfortunately, Zhao Ji cannot go out of the palace and go deep into the masses now... It would have been great if the Qionglin Li Palace in the west of the city could be built as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Official Tong has finished singing the title, and it's time for the Jinshi to set off."

Gao Qiu's voice sounded in Zhao Ji's ears.

Under the city gate tower, a band that had already been ready had already started playing. More than 600 Jinshis who were originally standing next to the horse also got on the horse. Some of them were quick to go up by themselves, but most of them were needed to support them...

Ji Yi had been riding on the horse for a long time. He was Tanhualang, and there were the top scholar, Jinshi, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan, who pioneered the Tao. Seeing that they all got on the horse and moved forward, Ji Yi, who had been a little impatient, carefully controlled the horse and moved forward, and soon left Donghua Gate.

Outside Donghua Gate, the purpose was suddenly to the point of being a sea of ​​people and flowers, and the music of celebrating music was heard. A feeling of pride in life immediately surged into the hearts of Ji Daren and more than 600 other civil and military officials.

And the feeling of depression that lingered in Ji Yi's heart before has been wiped out now.

Although he was not able to become the confidant of the official family, he was a Jinshi! He was still a Tanhualang! Such a background is incomparable to Wu Haogu and others.

Look at the people cheering all over the streets and alleys in front of you. Everyone is cheering for the Jinshi like theirs!

Hey! Isn’t that Madam Mo? Ji Yi, who was riding on the horse, was proud and suddenly saw Madam Mo being cheered outside Donghua Gate. He thought to himself: Madam Mo is also here to see me? This saint has always been interesting to me, but I’m embarrassed to say... But why is there a monk standing beside her? This monk seems to be the Manichae Lord Jingming!

Why did he come to Kaifeng Mansion? Why is he still with Madam Mo?

What do they want to do? Are the two branches of the Ming Cult to merge? The Holy Lord's lineage has a ill-gotten plot...

Just when Master Ji was surprised, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears: "Mr. Ji, do you still recognize Fang Shisan?"

Ji Yi was startled by the roar and subconsciously pulled the reins. As a result, the horse under his crotch neighed, raised his front hooves, and stood up with his hind legs.

Now Xiao Ji Tanhua, who was skilled in archery and horse racing, had not enough horse skills, and she fell off the horse's back.
Chapter completed!
