Poor family mother and son

Chapter 964 "The General Mobilization of the Standing Reserve"

Xiaobao's consolation was just a consolation, because what happened next gradually confirmed the conjecture of the two mothers——the patrol censor really came to visit Huang Zhong.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he had already written a memorial to the emperor, and what was written on it was what he wanted to write, not what Huang Zhong wanted.

Not only did he come, but he also came empty-handed, with a gift, but this gift was not for Huang Zhong, nor for Chu Qing, but for Xiaobao—the questions from the provincial examinations over the years.

Not only that, but also brought an undisclosed message: this exam will no longer be restricted by style, only the nature of the content.

This is simply a rule for Xiaobao's weakness!
In other words, there are no restrictions on the length of the sentence, the complexity of the words, the level of the tone, etc., and there is no limit on the number of words.

You can write in vernacular, as long as you have something to say according to the requirements of the topic.

"The purpose of the emperor's move is to seek capable people, open up the way of speaking, respect the virtuous and corporal, and assist the government. It is to revise the rules of policy and writing, so that there will be no virtuous people in the field, and everyone will make the best of their talents." Xun Press Yushi explained.

Hehe, who would believe it?Chu Qing thought: Is it because I am afraid that my son will not pass the exam?

It's an amazing feeling.

Ordinarily, if there were no random reasons for such a revision of the policy text rules, if there were really only reasons like Xun Press Yushi said, Chu Qing would want to take a test in the end.

If Chu Qing is a student, he must think that the great journey is just beginning, and it is the right time for grand development.

Isn't this similar to the civil service application exam, maybe it's easier.

The background materials for the topic of the application examination are all "semi-finished" news information, and the number of words is scary.

The examination questions for Cewen only use the original texts of the Four Books and Five Classics, but anyone with a broad vision and several years of work experience can try it.

Xiaobao didn't receive the inspector censor, so he went to hide and play.

However, after Chen Yushi left, Xiaobao immediately distributed these past test papers and the new rules of Cewen to Chu Qing and a few other good writers, and asked everyone to copy them with him.

"Quick copy, quick copy, finish copying within an hour, and then hurry up and send it to Qiu Sheng and Pei Qing!" Xiaobao said.

Chu Qing was very relieved by Xiaobao's actions, even though he was in a lot of trouble, and he could still think about his friends.

"What about You Zhenghang?" Chu Qing asked.

"Don't worry about him, he's at his grandfather's house in Kyoto, so he should have gotten the news earlier than us." Xiaobao said.

Indeed, You Zhenghang has already received the news, and his letter to Xiaobao is already on the way. Although there are no exam questions from previous years sent with the letter, only the new rules of Cewen, but there are also some trends in Kyoto attached to it.

Regardless of the fact that Ganzhou Mansion is at the southernmost tip of Daxuan, some news is delivered faster than a golden eagle with wings.

Originally, the courtiers were still puzzled and nervous about the revision of the policy text rules, because they felt that the difficulty of the exam was reduced.

But the emperor said that now the imperial court needs to select a large number of promising and aspiring young talents to invest in grassroots positions in various prefectures and counties.

This made the courtiers skeptical.

This "big movement" has a wide range and intensity, and it is much more serious than the last two movements caused by the locust plague and King Kang. It has indeed "laid off" a large number of grassroots officials and vacated many positions.

But because of this, the difficulty of the exam is lowered. Does it mean that you are hungry, you don’t choose clothes, you panic, you don’t choose your wife...?

At this time, news flew into the capital: "Chu Qing announced that he would marry the princess as his daughter-in-law."

The time when this news came out was only one day after the emperor saw the memorial of Xunyan Yushi, which shows how determined Xunyan is to "dead friends will not die poor people".

The emperor was more promising this time, and he didn't immediately believe the words of the inspector censor, although he was very willing to believe it in his heart.

Because his first reaction when he saw the memorial was: Is this person clearly offended?
In fact, there are many cases of Chu Qing "biting back" in the court, which are unforgettable.

But the emperor didn't believe it, but the courtiers did!And then the entire Beijing nobles believed it!

Combined with the fact that the emperor revised the style rules of Cewen, everyone came to the conclusion that the emperor intended to marry a daughter to reduce the difficulty of the exam, so that the son of Marquis Linyang could pass the exam and improve his status; To save the emperor's face and take the initiative to speak out, after all, Chu Qing's family is the son, as a man, as a courtier, it is better to take the initiative.

Few people knew about the content of the emperor's oral edict when it came out from the capital, but now it has returned from the southernmost point of Daxuan and outflanked it, causing a sensation in the entire Beijing circle of nobles!

The news sent back from the Ganzhou government was like a cold current, touching, entangled, and competing with the heat of the capital, making the summer night suddenly cold, then suddenly hot, cold and hot, hot and cold.

All the government offices were still brightly lit, but it was no longer because they invited theater troupes to watch a theater to cool off the summer heat, but gathered staff members to hold meetings all night long.

On the contrary, entertainment venues such as restaurants and brothels, which have seen a surge in passenger traffic every summer, have begun to fall into the "off-season".

There are too many people who want to be the father-in-law and mother-in-law for the prince, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law for the princess. How can they be cheap for the son of the Linyanghou family?

Besides, what kind of marquis is that!It's just a symbol!

But if Chu Qing's son really passes the autumn test, he will be awarded the title of Juren, and he will participate in Chunwei next year...

If the Marquis of Chu Qing is only a reward from the emperor, once his son wins the election, it is equivalent to the second generation of the Chu family standing up. The Chu family will become a new "family"!

All the governments are in the process of discussing the progress of the family's children, and all of them have pressed the pause button.

The mistresses of the various mansions kept their children, regardless of their concubines, in the mansion, and the girls rushed to learn the rules; the boys, regardless of whether they were preparing for the next exam this year, were sent to prepare for the exam. They were also ordered not to leave the house, and they all obediently stayed at home to cultivate themselves.

The family owners, under the planning of their staff and the cooperation of their colleagues, launched a new round of "general mobilization" to the emperor.

The princess is 16 years old, with older brothers and younger brothers and sisters. It is too targeted to ask to marry Princess Zhaohua alone. It is better to bring up the matter of Li Chu, and then give it to the princes and side concubines, and provide the princesses with A group of high-quality consort candidates.

The resources of the royal family can only be divided among them, and Chu Qing can't be taken advantage of, which onion will Chu Qing deal with!

All the prefectures are extremely busy, and the leisure and entertainment venues are all deserted. Oh, no, there is one that is quite lively. It should be said that it has become lively again.

Before the rise of Blue House in Kyoto, the "Drunken East Wind" restaurant, the most famous, the most elegant, and the most frequented, ushered in its "second spring".

There are two lists posted in the restaurant: "Baiyan List" and "Guanyu List". On this list are the rankings of ladies and sons in the Beijing circle. The rankings are changed every day according to the bet amount.

Above are the candidates who are most likely to become the Crown Princess and Princess Zhaohua's son-in-law.

Xiaobao's name is not on it, perhaps, this is the will of the Beijing circle.
