Peerless Pirates

Since the birth of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, the fate of countless literati has been pinned on it (read the full text of Chronicles of the Last Heroes). The high school students were so proud that they left many excited poems, "No one asked under the window for ten years, and they became famous in one fell swoop.

The whole world knows it." "The spring breeze is so good that a horse's hoof is broken, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

Such a scene may seem like a happy time, but the sadness behind it often makes people sigh. Many people are ignorant and may not be able to gain fame in the examination.

Daqi's era was a bit better, and there were no cases of people in their seventies or eighties taking the imperial examination. The oldest was only about forty years old. However, people like Song Zheng who took the examination at the age of sixteen were indeed rare.

Song Zheng himself had no sense of pride about this (read the full text of Yunvbaojian). The key is that this examination place is simply not a place for people to stay. You have to sleep in the smelly toilet, eat snacks, and try your best

Concentrate on doing the questions. In this kind of environment, you have to stay for three days and two nights. What makes Song Zheng most funny is that he found this crime himself. If he hadn't taken the initiative to take the literary Jinshi exam, he wouldn't have

I will suffer this hardship.

"The pain of the imperial examination comes first from the examiner!" Song Zheng recited silently.

It was getting dark, and Song Zheng had finished answering the economics test questions and placed them on the table. He stood up, picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the wall, "Partridge Sky Meeting", "With tears in his eyes, he looked at the officials and praised them for their fame and wealth."

Don't wait. The water floating in the sky sends endless trees, and the rain clouds bury half of the mountain. The top three things, thousands of them, are just because of the joys and sorrows. The river head is not in trouble, and the road is difficult for the examiner. "

This poem was originally written by Xin Qiji as "Partridge Sky Sends People Away", but it was changed by Song Zheng and became a poem lamenting the imperial examination. Of course, the artistic conception is far different from Xin Qiji's. In the original poem, "Jiangtou"

It is a famous saying that has been sung through the ages.

After some emotion, Song Zheng calmed down a little. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Song Zheng climbed up the small window. That is to say, he, another person, even with some skill, would not be able to climb up the small window that is more than one foot high.

The window was only one and a half feet square, and Song Zheng peed outside the window in a soft posture that was difficult for ordinary people to do.

After coming down from the window, Song Zheng sat on the futon again and actually started practicing Chunyang Pu. There was a strange scene in the guild hall. In other exam supervisors, all the lights were bright, and the examinees were still working hard to complete the scripture questions.

After thinking hard, it was only dark inside Song Zheng's examination supervisor, and the lights were not turned on all night long. As a result, the yamen on duty outside opened the small window on the door and looked in several times.

At midnight the next day, the economics examination papers were collected, and the historical theory examination papers were also distributed.

Song Zheng lazily opened the paper and couldn't help but stand up when he saw the title. The title was like this, "The second emperor of Qin died, the second emperor of Tang Dynasty ruled under Zhenguan, and the second emperor of Song Dynasty rejuvenated the country with peace. Why? Try to discuss it!

"

Your mother! Song Zheng cursed. The second generation of the Qin Dynasty was Hu Hai, the second generation of the Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the second generation of the Song Dynasty was Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty. The first two sentences were still the same, and the two emperors of the Qin Dynasty were finished.

When Li Shimin arrived, the heyday of Zhenguan appeared, and the two were quite comparable (Animal Legion of Resistance). The problem was that Song Dynasty was added.

Taizong Zhao Guangyi, "Taiping Xingguo" is the reign name of Zhao Guangyi, just like Zhenguan is the reign name of Li Shimin. But the rule of Zhenguan was a "prosperous age" with an enlightened political situation and social stability. However, Zhao Guangyi's Taiping Xingguo was not like this.

Although it was possible at that time, it could never be compared with the Zhenguan rule in history.

Moreover, "Taiping Xingguo" was only the first of Zhao Guangyi's five reign titles, which lasted no more than nine years. Historically, this reign title was a bit unorthodox: when Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he used his brother Zhao Kuangyin's "Kai Bao"

The era name was changed. Under normal circumstances, the new emperor did not change the era name until the second year after he ascended the throne.

If only Hu Hai and Li Shimin were put together, it would be considered a serious question and there would be much to write about, but adding Zhao Guangyi would be out of place.

The only thing this topic has in common that connects these three emperors, apart from the fact that they are all "second generation", is that these three emperors only ascended the throne after killing their brothers.

Hu Hai killed his brother Fusu; Li Shimin's Xuanwumen incident killed his brother Li Jiancheng and his brother Li Yuanji (and took Li Yuanji's wife as his own wife). Although there is no record in official history whether Zhao Guangyi killed his brother, "Zhu Guangyi"

The story of "The Sound of the Shadow Ax" is widely circulated. Folks generally believe that Zhao Guangyi killed his brother.

Song Zheng stood up and thought nervously.

If the meaning of the economics test question is still a bit vague, then the meaning of this historical question is too obvious. What do the people in the Ministry of Rites want to do? Do they want to force Pang Hui to rebel? You know, Pang Hui still holds military power!

Who wants to provoke Pang Hui? Huang Yuandu? Song Zheng shook his head. Huang Yuandu was the biggest beneficiary of that coup. Not only did he become the prime minister, but his grandson also became the emperor. Huang Jiao also became the official behind the curtain.

The Queen Mother. It can be said that Huang Yuandu has achieved the maximum benefit he can get. At this time, there is really no need to make such an action?

The truth of a matter often depends on the ultimate beneficiary. After Gaozong's death, although Pang Hui took charge of the military, Huang Yuandu gained more. Song Zheng also judged from this that the palace coup that year was caused by Pang Hui and

Huang Yuandu did it together. This is what Ming'er told herself at first. Now, could it be that Huang Yuandu wants to bring up the past and blame Pang Hui alone?

It shouldn't be. Pang Hui has been gradually delegating power, and Pang Hui himself is in poor health. Huang Yuandu only needs to be a little patient and ease the relationship with Pang Hui, so that the little emperor can smoothly make the emperor govern.

The latest chapter of Manado's Coming). Is there no need to push Pang Hui to death now?

However, who else could it be if he wasn't him? When he saw the title of the scripture yesterday, Song Zheng thought it might be the little emperor who had intervened. But when he saw the title of the historical essay, Song Zheng concluded that this was definitely not what the little emperor meant. The little emperor

He's not that stupid to anger his uncle who can take away his throne. Besides, he only got the throne after Pang Hui killed the former prince, his brother Pang Yan.

Who is he if he is not the little emperor? Who wants Daqi to turn into a mess? Is it the people of Jin, Shu or Xixia who did it? This is impossible, their hands cannot be stretched so long no matter what.

!

"What the hell is going on!" Song Zheng punched the wall.

"No. 17, be quiet!" The yamen patrolling outside knocked on the small window on the door.

Silence, you mother! Song Zheng cursed secretly. He was considering whether he should not take the exam now and just rush out of the door. He would go home first and move Song Jue, Zhu and others back to their hometown on Shandong Road. Otherwise, the war would break out.

Together, Jiangning is in chaos. I don’t know what will happen!

After a while, Song Zheng forced himself to calm down.

Things may not be that bad!

Even if Pang Hui makes a move, it cannot be implemented immediately. First, such a thing must be fully prepared, and second, due to his relationship with Pang Hui and the Imperial City Division, he can get some wind in advance.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng settled down again and couldn't help but think about the big event he had planned. Especially this time, something happened in the exam question. What would happen if a large number of poisoned soldiers appeared in the city guard, the capital guard and the restricted area at the same time?

?

First, if he still follows his own assumptions, the Ji family will eventually fall. And with the incident of this exam, Pang Hui is so angry that the Ji family will be even worse, and even the roots will be dug up (The Story of a Rural Teacher: Complete Text of Jue Ai)

read).

Second, Pang Hui took the opportunity to purge the army and at the same time consolidate military power, returning to the path of confrontation between the military and the government.

The third is to rebel and become the emperor himself, just like the three people in the exam question.

The fourth is to cooperate with Huang Yuandu to find the truth behind the test questions and dig out the instigator.

…

After thinking about this, Song Zheng's mind became confused again. It was not until an hour later that Song Zheng sat slumped on the futon and exhaled a long breath. Because he found that no matter what situation occurred, there was very little he could do to intervene.

The poisonous salt matter has been done, and there is no possibility of turning back. Song Zheng doesn't want to look back. As for whether Pang Hui will rebel, he doesn't want to get involved. Pang Hui has only a few years to live, so why should he follow him to "make a revolution"

.As for the little emperor, although he got along well with his emperor and his ministers, Song Zheng did not have the thought of serving the little emperor to the death. Although he had learned Neo-Confucianism and was very proficient in it, he did not have much thoughts of loyalty to the emperor.

If Pang Hui rebels, maybe even Huang Yuandu and Huang Song will be solved, which will save him the trouble of revenge. The only thing that makes Song Zheng uncomfortable is that many people will die in the war. Song Zheng himself is very good at troubled times.

I hate it deeply. If nothing else, in troubled times, even my old profession of being a thief is not easy to do.

Of course, the key to Song Zheng's frustration was because he admitted one thing: even if Quan went out now, he wouldn't know what to do.

"Damn it, I can't care so much, answer the questions first!" Song Zheng cursed and returned to the test questions.

Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was easy to say, and he did one bad thing one after another. Li Shimin was also easy to say, and he did a lot of good things, otherwise there would be no Zhenguan rule. According to the meaning of the title, Zhao Guangyi should also write about the good things.

Zhao Guangyi's achievements are not very good, otherwise Mao Taizu of the later generation would not call him a "villain". However, if you choose carefully, he has done a lot of good things (Ace Ability Person txt download).

"Opening a book is beneficial" is what this guy left behind, and the famous saying "Lu Duan is not confused about important matters" also comes from his words.

In this case, Song Zheng knew how to write. By the end of the afternoon, Song Zheng successfully handed in the paper.

What made Song Zheng breath a sigh of relief was that there were no surprises in the following policy essays and poems. The policy essays examined Daqi's rudimentary poems about raising money for the people, and the poems and poems examined the "Chu River" as a symbol.

Each question asked him to write a poem and a poem. The difficulty was not high, and Song Zheng successfully completed the exam.

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Song Zheng wiped out all the poems and complaints he had written on the wall in the past two days. Just after October 29th, Song Zheng was the first to leave the guild hall and went straight to his home.

.

Just after arriving home, he saw Lu Chun, Xiao Bei, Shi Cunbao and others staying in the Song Mansion. Song Zheng met Song Jue and Zhu first. Song Jue just said, "The test questions are a bit strange" and said nothing more. Instead, he wished

Shi touched Song Zheng's cheek distressedly and wanted to cook himself a delicious meal for Song Zheng.

After a busy day, Song Zheng took a bath and changed clothes, and then invited several brothers back to his room.

"Brother Zheng, the Ji family sent someone here to inform them that starting from next month, they want to increase the supply of our trading house by one-fifth." As soon as he sat down, Xiaobei hurriedly reported.

"Oh? Did they discover something?" Song Zheng was a little surprised.

"Probably not." Lu Chun said, "We did it very covertly. They would never think that we were tampering with the military salt. There must be something fishy."

"I don't think they would be so kind." Song Zheng snorted coldly, "Now that our work has been done, they don't even have a chance to make up for it!"

Lu Chun pondered for a while and said, "I think this matter may be related to the eldest son."

"Eldest Young Master, Huang Yue?" Song Zheng frowned.~
