In August, the wind blowing has already brought a bleak meaning.

The triennial examination for the Dayin Dynasty is about to be held.

This exam will be held in twenty-five counties at the same time.

There are thirty-six counties in the world, but nine counties belong to Fu Meng Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Qingqiu Kingdom, etc.

The three major vassal states have basically independent internal affairs and are nominally under the jurisdiction of the dynasty.

Last year, Qingqiu was destroyed and caused a big trouble. What is the situation now? No one knows the information, and they are too lazy to care about it.

After all, they are too far apart and they are not related to themselves.

The examiner in charge of the examination has arrived in Haidai County in advance. After entering the city, he moved into the examination room immediately and closed it and was not allowed to have any contact with the outside world.

These are all rules on the exam and are strictly managed.

Everything follows the procedure, and the hospital door is opened on the 12th day, then hundreds of test students are examined and admitted to the hospital in turn.

...

Since last time he heard his father's words, Cao Peng has become much more peaceful and no longer runs out, stays in the house, and even reads books.

But as the date of the test approached, he became more and more anxious.

On this day, I finally couldn't help it and ran to the study to pay homage to my father.

Cao Yuanqi looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "I knew you couldn't sit still, and you always lacked a sense of calmness."

Cao Peng smiled and said, "My father, according to the suspicion, the boy from the Chen family went down the mountain and entered the city last month, and then lived in a different liucao cottage to concentrate on studying. Looking at this situation, it seemed to be serious."

Cao Yuanqi said calmly: "How can such a thing be unserious? The test of the boy is different from the test of the boy. Who doesn't want to go further?"

"But he is just a scholar and has never officially studied."

"Haha, since you think he failed the exam, why bother to restless?"

Cao Peng said angrily: "He failed the exam and was able to turn back and continue to be the master of the audience. I just felt unwilling to accept it."

Cao Yuanqi sighed: "Peng'er, have you ever thought that since he has such a free position as Yunshan Guanguanzhu, why did he work hard to study and take the imperial examination?"

Cao Peng thought for a while: "Greedy? He wants to be free and free, but also to be glorious and wealthy."

It is not surprising that human nature is greedy.

Cao Yuanqi frowned: "Actually, I don't understand this. I originally thought that the situation in Yunshan was unstable and unsustainable, but now it seems to be making a lot of excitement; since I have such a long-term foundation,

But he plunged in to study and took the imperial examination... He said he was greedy, but it might be to cultivate his mind... No matter how he looked at it, he was full of strangeness, so he must be careful."

Cao Peng immediately said: "That's what I think. If I let it grow bigger, it will be more difficult to deal with in the future. When he gets up, Chen will rise, which will likely affect his father's power."

In addition to Cao Yuanqi's own fame and honor, the clan also gave great support to the position of the county magistrate, so that he could sit up and sit firmly.

If the Chen clan can rise and suppress the Cao family, then Cao Yuanqi's official position will also be shaken.

Within the dynasty system, the relationship between individuals and clans is extremely close and closely related, and this has always been the case.

Cao Yuanqi's face turned cold. Of course, he could see this more clearly.

Cao Peng said again: "Father, we can't watch the Chen boy enter the exam room smoothly and complete the exam. It is unknown how good his official writing skills are, but after all, he has been appreciated by the old man Meng Beiliu,

Not only did he accept it as a student, but he also allowed him to live in the cottage. If he had not performed well, how could he get such treatment?"

Cao Yuanqiluo long beard: "Peng'er, you can think of this step, and it's really a big improvement. Meng Beiliu is certainly aloof, but he has a good level. He was a Jinshi and ranked among the best. But you don't have to worry too much, take the initiative

Always in our hands.”

Cao Peng asked: "Please give me advice from my father."

"First of all, the best result is of course that the Chen family boy failed. If you want to take the exam again, you have to wait for another three years. In three years, a lot of things can happen."

Cao Yuanqi said leisurely.

Cao Peng nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He didn't want Chen Youniao to pass the exam, and he thought that Chen Youniao should not pass the exam either.

That's the imperial examination.

A person who has only learned a little elementary school has gone up the mountain for ten years, then came back, crammed for a while, read a few books, and was thinking about the title of the Golden List?

If it is so easy, Cao Peng wants to take the exam. He has studied at least for several years of official school.

Cao Yuanqi continued: "Of course, we have to make another preparation, that is, if we are admitted to this kid, there is always such a possibility, whether it is luck or talent."

Cao Peng couldn't help asking: "If he passes the exam, he will be a legitimate master with fame and reputation."

According to the dynasty system, scholars and juren are two completely different concepts. Scholars belong to the grassroots of scholars and officials, but juren is equivalent to a formal official position. As long as there are connections and there is a lack of official positions, they can take office immediately.

Cao Yuanqi sneered, "So what? After he passed the imperial examination, he will definitely set off and go to Shou'an to participate in the examination. This trip to Shou'an is thousands of miles away, so how could it be so easy to get there?"

Hearing this, Cao Peng felt clear and suddenly understood: It turned out that his father's plan was like this, not in Haidai County, but outside.

It was originally the same in the city, with many eyes and ears, many concerns and restricted hands. Many things are difficult to let go and cannot be done.

There is both the Daoting Governor's Office and the Governor's Office. If the Cao family does it out of line, it is impossible for both sides to sit idly by.

If Chen Youniao is just a weak scholar, it will be easier to deal with it. Send someone directly to solve it, but the other party has grown up, which is much more difficult.

Having said that, if Chen Youniao was just a scholar, he would not pose any threat at all and would not be qualified to become an opponent.

Cao Yuanqi said calmly: "When a person goes out, disappears or disappears, it has nothing to do with our Cao family anyway."

Cao Peng suddenly said, "No wonder my father asked me to endure it a while ago."

"You are constantly looking for trouble and not dealing with him, it is easy to provoke suspicion and will also alarm the snake. Peng'er, you must remember that if you are not sure, don't take action. It's like the last time you rode a horse, it was meaningless, with those children.

He loses his temper and makes small fuss, but he can't hurt anyone, which makes the other party beware of his guard."

Cao Peng quickly acted like he was taught: "Thank you for your teachings."

After a pause, he asked again: "It's just that this guy has Taoism and martial arts skills, so I'm afraid that I can't get close to you."

Cao Yuanqi glanced at him: "It's just one person, what's the point? I have my own arrangements for my father. Even if I fail in the end, it's okay. Let him take the exam. Where is the place in Shou'an? Who is the saint? The child of the Chen family uses Taoism.

In my opinion, this is the way to die.”
