If you want to win the power of punishment today, will you fight for the governorship of Southern Xia tomorrow? Will you fight for power the next day?

The official path goes further and further, and the journey becomes deeper and deeper.

Since the beginning of officialdom, the torrent of humanity has indeed surged, and there are countless people who have taken advantage of this situation to become enlightened. How many people can take the final step?

Being a famous minister or a famous commander is no easier than practicing cultivation.

Since ancient times, not many people have been able to do this.

It may be a good road for others, but for Jiang, it is not a good road for him.

Agreeing to preside over the official examination in Southern Xinjiang was because he really wanted to do something practical and thought he could do it well. In addition, he did not want to get stuck in it and tie himself to the officialdom of Southern Xinjiang.

His road is not in the official road, his road is under his own feet. He has already set his goal, and he will not change it for any scenery on the road.

So no matter what thoughts Shi Mingli and Su Guanying had.

He doesn't understand and doesn't try to understand.

Just make your attitude clear and leave, focusing only on the official exam itself.

Speaking of which, among the people who came to Hutai to participate in the final official examination this time, there were many familiar faces from Jiang Wang.

Those who were captured by him, those who were defeated by him, those who fought against him. When he led troops across the Southern Xia mansions, there were countless battles, big and small, and he came into contact with many Xia people.

Of course there is Gu Yong among them.

Judging from the list, there are also Huyang Pass guard general Chu Shuo who impressed Jiang Wang and caused a lot of trouble for the Qi army on the eastern front, and Chu Shuo's nephew Chu Yulong.

Because Emperor Qi said there was no sin in defending the land, they were all pardoned.

When Jiang Wang slowly walked by.

Chu Yulong's hand holding the pen froze instantly, and his heart almost stopped.

Fatty Chong Xuan used to be murderous towards this guy, but after the war, he didn't bother him. After all, it was different during the war and after the war.

Jiang Wang also deliberately walked around this kid a few more times as a small revenge on him.

Chu Yulong's uncle Chu Ji, cut T eight'" mouth.

But the Chu family is a famous family in the ancient Xia Dynasty. During the Qi-Xia war, from the ancestor Chu's father-in-law to the young genius Chu's pity, almost the whole family died for the country. Like Chu Shuo, Chu Yulong's uncle and nephew, even if they surrendered in the end,

It is also difficult to gain trust in Qiting.

However, since they can now participate in this final official examination, they should have passed the test of the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.

Of course Jiang Wang would not interfere.

He moved his gaze, specifically looking for Chushuo, whom he had only seen a portrait of before.

To make up for the regret of not being able to see him at Huyang Pass that time. He and Zhong Xuan Sheng were fully prepared when they passed Huyang Pass, but the other party didn't give them any chance.

However, when his eyes moved, he was caught by another wistful gaze.

Jiang Wang then saw——

A woman with stern eyebrows was dressed as a man, with her hair tied up with a jade ring, and wearing loose Confucian clothes. She held a pen in one hand with an unusually straight posture. She spread her fingers on the other hand and tapped lightly on the rice paper. Her eyes were looking at him.

There was some curiosity in his eyes, but it was very light.

There is a trace of scrutiny, but it is very shallow.

Her facial features are actually very beautiful, but they don't attract attention.

This is contradictory.

How can a very beautiful woman not attract attention?

Unless she has unobtrusive power.

But Jiang Wang didn't think about this at this moment. He naturally felt that there was no problem with this.

In any case, it is really courageous to dare to observe the examiner with such a critical attitude in the fateful official examination room.

Jiang Wang nodded to her and looked away.

The Governor of Nanxia, ​​the Military Superintendent of Nanxia and the Marquis of Wu'an personally invigilated the examination, so there was naturally no cheating in the official examination.

Jiang Wang didn't care what the two big figures were talking about on the high platform. He never went up to take a seat and just patrolled the whole place by himself.

Until, bang! bang!

The final bang of the exam sounded.

"Finish the test! Put down the pen!" Xue Rushi put his sword on his waist and shouted loudly.

Three hundred candidates put down their brushes in unison. This is no joke. If you dare to write when the time is up, you will be treated as a contempt of examination room discipline.

A soldier came forward and sealed their test papers on the spot, then put them away.

The whole process is neat and orderly, with a kind of institutional beauty.

"Next is the martial arts test." After a week of inspection, Jiang Wang stood in the middle of the aisle with his hands behind his hands and said to the candidates present: "Everyone, please adjust your breathing in place for half an hour, and then we will start again."

No one wasted time, everyone closed their eyes and quickly adjusted their status

Your performance at this time will determine how many fewer steps you can take in the future. You cannot be too cautious.

Jiang Wang looked around casually, and for some reason, his eyes fell on the face of the woman he had seen before - a face that looked a little bleak and didn't know what the use of life was.

The woman Qia Qia opened her eyes and looked at Qing Hong: "Master Hou, my name is Zhao Zi.

Jiang Wang was a little surprised, but he nodded and responded: "Call Jiang Wang."

The examinee next to him laughed. Who doesn't know the name of Marquis Wu'an? "I want to ask Lord Marquis." The woman with the strange name just looked at him calmly: "Is this exam fair?"

Jiang Wang was not offended and responded gently: "You have all passed the exam all the way, from the city examination to the government examination, and even today's official examination. My lord's Tiqi are all here, and I am here.

Those severed heads are also there. I think everyone has the answer to whether this official examination is fair."

The woman has a strange stubbornness: "I want to hear what the Marquis himself has to say.

Jiang Wang didn't need to answer this kind of question at all, and the woman's attitude was quite rude. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to immediately kick her out of the examination room if he asked questions while others were adjusting their breath.

But Jiang Wang still thought about it seriously, and then said: "I think there may not be absolute fairness in the world, but for this official examination, I will try my best to ensure the existence of the word 'fairness'

."

"Because I came from a time when I had no money, I know how important opportunity is, and I understand what fairness means."

He stood there, facing Zhao Zi, and everyone participating in this exam, and said: "This world may be unfair. Some differences exist even after birth. I am not such a great person. I can't do what I have in the past."

now

Something that none of the wise men who came here could do."

He said so seriously: "I can't give you a fair background, I can't give you a fair talent, I can't give you a fair opportunity. But this time, at least in this official examination I presided over,
Chapter completed!
