"Officials, is it still useful to hold the imperial examination now?"

Kang Lu knew the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help asking questions.

The Empress Wanyan Yan is unreliable at critical moments. Can Zhao Gou, the official family still count on those dizzy scholars?

With this situation, how could it be reliable if you are still running to Lin'an Mansion and dreaming of winning a Jinshi?

Zhao Gou emphasized the key point and said, "It's useful! Of course it's useful..." He snorted, "Official Kang, who do you think the people who are still coming to Lin'an Prefecture to take the imperial examination now? I'm afraid it's not those who have been pawns for the Jin people for several years, but they know that they can't be tolerated by the Red Troubles, or the stray dogs who came from Hebei?"

That's right. If it weren't for these bad guys, who would have come to Pizhou to take the Jinshi exam?

If Yue Fei had been here a few months ago, these people would have bald heads! Although their hair has grown a lot now, they can only barely tie a small bun... With this hairstyle, you can get it to the tutoring department if you catch it in Hebei!

Even if you look for a monk's robe and then knock it hard with a wooden fish, it will be useless to say that you are a monk - because Zhao Kai's goal is that land is not a human life, and he will only kill those who are extremely guilty, and there are indicators, not just slaughter them if you catch a bald donkey.

Those who were guilty of being a monk could not save their land. Zhao Kai's Northern Song Dynasty restricted the land and was not allowed to hold too much land and the temple operated by the immortal life warehouse is not exempt from taxes!

Moreover, since the recovery of Hexi, Zhao Kai has a trump card to deal with monks and Taoists - monks in the Western Regions, there are very few Taoist priests. You monks should go there to promote Buddhism and Taoism!

Don't go? Then you monk, the Taoist priest is not pious! Check it out carefully, is it a real monk, a real Taoist priest, a fake monk, a fake Taoist priest?

Therefore, it is not a good idea to pretend to be a monk... During this period, many "excess monks" were found on Beijing Road and Hebei Road, who were undergoing training and preparing to go to the Western Regions to preach the Dharma!

Therefore, many traitor landlords who were unwilling to go to the Western Regions to become monks and were afraid of being liquidated by the "Red Thief" fled to the territory of the pseudo-Song Dynasty.

Through their months of publicity, the tyranny and greed of the "Red Thief" has been known to everyone in the pseudo-Song Shilin.

Those traitors who knew they were not tolerated by the Northern Song Dynasty naturally had to choose between running away and joining Zhao Gou to resist the "Red Thief".

Of course, these two roads are not necessarily a choice. Because if you want to flee south, you can also go to Lin'an Prefecture to take the imperial examination. Lin'an Prefecture (Pizhou) is very close to the Huai River. After crossing the Huai River, it will be the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty... But unexpectedly, the Red Turban Cavalry of the Northern Song Dynasty came so fast!

After hearing this, Kang Lu could only sigh - isn't he and Zhao Gou the same as these people?

But they didn't even have the qualifications to cross the Huai River and join the Southern Song Dynasty...

Zhao Gou sat on the edge of the bed and said word by word: "I held this imperial examination to detain these people who were already in trouble or were about to lose their family. Everyone gathered together and struggled to make a living in this end of the world. But I didn't expect that the Red Thief came so quickly, and the queen...ah!"

Speaking of this, he waved his palm and slammed his crotch, feeling so hatred!

Think about how majestic he was back then? Otherwise, how could he have eaten Wanyan Yan's soft rice? If he had not been injured in the Battle of Yangshan... Wanyan Yan would have never abandoned him.

If Wanyan Yan was still as loving as ever with him, he would be able to pull the desperate scholars in Lin'an City to escape together.

Whether it is fleeing to Goryeo or traveling to Japan, these scholars can use it.

But now he was ruthlessly abandoned by Wanyan Yan!

Zhao Gou suddenly thought of something and looked at Kang Lu with a bright look, "Official Kang... Who else has read this letter except you and I?"

"No, no more..." Kang Lu said, "When the envelope was delivered to the old minister, it was sealed well, and it had never been opened."

Of course, the little officials who delivered the letter from the Empress to the Emperor did not dare to dismantle it.

"Then...who else knows that the queen took the people away?"

"No, no one should know..." Kang Lu's eyes swept through Zhao Gou's bedroom, and then fell on the palace maid who was sleeping with her.

According to convention, the emperor must arrange personnel to visit when he sleeps!

Well, it is usually a eunuch or a female official. Not only do you have to visit, but you also have to record it. This is called "Neiyuji Note", which records when the emperor was? Where? Which empress or palace maid had he favored? How long did he favored?

All this has to be remembered. In the future, if this empress or palace maid is pregnant, she can take it out and compare it to see if it is the emperor's seed?

However, Zhao Gou and Wanyan Yan changed this rule. The "Nei Daily Notes" of the Pseudo-Song Palace is not a live record, but is recorded afterwards based on the personal description of the official and the empress. Needless to say, the content is known, how the two sages are in love...

Although Zhao Gou did not arrange personnel records when he was sleeping, he liked to arrange palace maids to warm the bed.

But the palace maid who warmed the bed had now woken up, staring at Zhao Gou and Kang Lu with her eyes open.

Kang Lu sighed, closed his eyes and stopped looking. Zhao Gou picked up his boots, pulled out the dagger hidden inside the boots, and then stabbed the sharp dagger at such an innocent palace maid, and shouted: "Bitch Wanyan, look at the knife!"

......

The barracks of the three imperial guards in Lin'an Prefecture (Pizhou) city are now full of "Jizi" who have run away from all over the pseudo-Song territory and even from Hebei. They are said to be Juzi, but they have never passed the test. They just talked to the officials of the pseudo-Song Li Ministry outside Chenqiao Pavilion, register, and then read the book "The Analects of Confucius"... Prove that you are a scholar, and then you can enter Lin'an Prefecture in the name of "Jizi".

This Lin'an Prefecture is different from the Hangzhou in history. It is a small and sturdy fortress. There are not so many inns in the city that can accommodate tens of thousands of servants and servants and family members. So Zhao Gou ordered people to "vacate" the military camp of the three yamen soldiers for the servants to live in.

As for the military camp, of course the access control is tight!

So the juren who moved in actually lost their freedom... they could only stay in studying and preparing for the exam, and were not clear about the outside world. Even if any news came to them, they were filtered layer by layer.

Therefore, they did not know the situation outside the Lin'an Prefecture... In fact, even Zhao Gou didn't know what was wrong outside the city? What's more, they?

However, early in the morning of the fifth day of the second month, I just got up, finished washing up, and went to the Sanya Bingying Daying Canteen with my family and servants to have breakfast (their food is provided by Sanya Bingying Daying), and finally realized something was wrong.

Because they were told that the Ministry of Rites competition will be held in advance... from the original scheduled February 14th to the fifth day of the second month! That is today!

A group of eunuchs had been sent by Kang Daguan to the Sanya camp to announce good news to the students who came to eat.

"The official has an order, and the Ministry of Rites has reached today! All the juren have a meal quickly and go to the schoolyard to concentrate after the meal... The exam will be held in the schoolyard!"

"Congratulations, congratulations to everyone. The official family issued a major edict. Today, we will take the Jinshi exam in the Sanya School. Those who passed the exam will be the officials of our Song Dynasty!"

"Hurry up and eat, go to the schoolyard after dinner. You have to grab a good position that is easy to pass the exam..."

All the testimonies now feel that something is wrong.

The imperial examination! It is still the Ministry of Rites’ examination, which can be held in advance!

This is really unheard of. Maybe it hasn't happened since the imperial examination system, right?

And...what is it meaningful to get ahead of February 14th to the fifth day of February? Is it not good for February 14th? Isn't it suitable for taking exams?

A bunch of juren is not stupid, and someone will immediately find out.

"Why did this high-ranking official (eunuch) take the exam in advance?"

"Yes! What the hell happened?"

"Is it a red scarf thief..."

Someone really guessed the truth and even found out from the eunuchs who came to pass the order. These eunuchs had already learned the explanation from Kang Lu.

"The official family got a dream of ancestors yesterday, saying that today is an auspicious day for the exam, and they will definitely be able to win many Jinshis."

"Isn't it good to take the exam earlier? Isn't it good to take the exam earlier, get the exam earlier, and be loyal to the country earlier?"

A little earlier?

What did you win? Become a Jinshi... or be a prisoner?

The smarter juren already knew that something was wrong! Although they were all locked up in the Three Ya Camps, they heard better news... But they still knew about the big situation in the pseudo-Song Dynasty!

They ran to Lin'an Prefecture. Isn't it because Lin'an Prefecture is relatively close to the Huaihe River, so it is convenient to run away?

But unexpectedly, Zhao Gou, the foolish monarch, actually circled everyone and refused to let him run away. No matter how you look at it, it was wrong!

so......

"Hurry up and go to the exam after you finish it!"

The eunuchs who came to pass the imperial edict saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and their voices changed.

They were not stupid either, of course they knew that the situation was wrong. And some of them had already seen the fire in the direction of Chenqiao - when Wanyan ran away, they not only burned Chenqiao, but also Chenqiao Pavilion, so the fire was quite big at one point.

But everyone pretends to be blind and dare not say it... Now is an extraordinary period, and disaster comes from the mouth!

The students looked at each other and knew that it was not right.

But... I still want to take the Jinshi exam!

Jinshi!

It is a glorious family!

Moreover, as long as you are a scholar, you have been inculcated from the day you recognize your words and have to be "song-listed" and "sing outside Donghuamen".

Now the opportunity is right in front of you, so I really don’t feel moved. Even if I don’t move, I might as well take the exam... How can I get the Jinshi so easily?

"Oh! Take the exam, I'm afraid! At worst, I just can't pass the exam..."

"Yes! If you can't pass the exam, you'll be very good!"

"Yes, only the emperor's minister will be the emperor if you pass the exam. If you fail, you will be a poor person... What are we going to be afraid of?"
