The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 279
Zhao Xu didn't go to the morning court the next day, anyway, he had nothing to do, so he was going to see the students in Beijing middle school.

In just one day, a large number of students entered the capital again. After all, it was less than ten days before the exam time.

So in the last two days, all the students will enter the capital, rest for a few days, and then prepare for the autumn exam.

Slowly, Zhao Xu took Liu Qinhu and Miao Xun together to see the scene in the city. In fact, the most important thing was to see how these students were doing.

The three of them came to an inn, which was specially prepared for students, and no one except students could enter it.

Through the door, Zhao Xu could see where the people inside were talking, but only noisy voices could be heard from a distance.

Zhao Xu was about to go inside, but before they reached the door, several people stood up and blocked their way.

Although these people were all dressed in plain clothes, they were carrying knives and had a murderous aura on them.

At first glance, they are people who have been on the battlefield, and the evil spirit on them cannot be hidden from other people.

Mr. Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment and then he was relieved. He knew what these people were doing. These were the elite troops in central Beijing.

This suggestion is still suggested by myself, in order to prevent candidates from contacting some officials of the current dynasty, but this is not the most important thing.

After all, it is useless to contact the big shots in the capital, even if it is a bribe, they don't know what the exam questions are.

What's more important is not to let some external factors affect these students, especially those street ruffians.

These students are all powerless people. Although there are some physical fitness tests in this exam, their health is not good enough.

Therefore, the inn where every student lives is protected by a special person, which also allows these students to enjoy special treatment for the first time.

But these people didn't know Zhao Xu. They had seen Zhao Xu before, but it was only from a distance. Besides, Zhao Xu was still wearing military uniform at that time, but now he was only wearing ordinary clothes. Of course, no one recognized him.

Besides, they would never have thought that the current crown prince would come here, this is where the students lived.

"Stop coming. If you don't have a student certificate issued by the government, please don't enter. The imperial court has a ban, please don't make it difficult for us."

This man was quite polite. As he spoke, he also took out a notice from the government to show Zhao Xu and others, so as not to treat them as liars.

"Brother, I just want to see the students inside, so I won't let you in?" Zhao Xu didn't reveal his identity, but just made an excuse.

"I'm sorry, we have responsibilities, please don't make it difficult for us, if you don't leave, we will treat you as people with evil intentions."

He sounded a little threatening, otherwise other people would have driven Zhao Xu and the others away long ago, but their discipline is still acceptable.

"Okay, okay? You are really good. You are loyal to your duties. I will tell your boss that I must reward you well."

Before they could react, Liu Qinhu took out a gold medal under Zhao Xu's signal and flashed it in front of their eyes.

Among them, one stunned young man actually said:
"Even if you give us money, you won't let you in. You think we'll give you money, hum, be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man who was talking to Zhao Xu just covered his mouth, and he could only make a whining sound.

"I'm sorry, go in, this brother is a big bastard, don't be as knowledgeable as him, please don't take offense, please go in."

Zhao Xu didn't say anything. He wasn't bored to such an extent when he was seen by such a person. He really didn't take such a small person to heart.

At this time, the person outside the door let go of his hand, and the person whose mouth was covered was able to breathe, but he was pulled aside before he could speak.

"I said, brother, what are you doing? Why did you cover my mouth and not let me speak? For you, you put them in. What if something happens and the higher authorities track it down?"

"Brother usually tells you to read more books, but you just don't listen, and now you have made such a big oolong, you are really capable."

"Do you know what he took out just now? It was a gold medal given by the emperor, and I saw that the person holding the gold medal seems to be the commander Liu Qinhu who is next to the prince. I think the young man who praised us just now is Prince..."

Zhao Xu naturally didn't know what they were talking about. There were quite a few people in the inn, but there were still vacant seats.

Zhao Xu sat down first, and then he called Miao Xun and Liu Qinhu to sit down. As soon as they sat down, the second brother came to serve tea.

They didn't ask if these three people were students. In his opinion, even if they were not students, those who could come in through the outside were still capable, and being a second brother in the capital also had a good eye.

"My lord, listen to them and basically support my reform of the imperial examination." Miao Xun listened for a while, then turned his head and said to Zhao Xu.

"As long as they can understand it, even if they don't understand it now, I think they will understand the painstaking efforts of the court in the future."

"You said that the imperial court of the Great Song Dynasty is really good. The cost of students taking the exam in Beijing is still paid by the imperial court. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" A student was puzzled.

"Brother, you don't know now. These are the policies of the imperial court, but do you know who paid for the money?" said a person who seemed very clever and well-informed.

"Brother, do you have any inside news to tell us." Scholars in this era also gossip.

"Let me tell you, you don't know this, it's all paid for by the prince himself, so we should thank the prince."

After saying this, some people were immediately puzzled: "Where did the prince get so much money? Isn't it from the state? By the way, where did you hear this news?"

"Let's say you are ignorant and ignorant. The largest and most luxurious restaurant in Beijing is the Taoxiang Restaurant, which is said to belong to the prince. Do you think they have a lot of money?"

Zhao Xu was a little speechless when he heard that the students who were taking the exam. He didn't expect that these people were discussing these things here, not because they were reviewing their homework.

What kind of news is this? It is estimated that these people did not go out today. The emperor's list posted in the city said what the person just said.

Today I made a private visit on Weibo to see if I could meet someone different. I didn't expect that I would be disappointed.

But it's nothing, I just came here to see the style of these students, and there will be opportunities for others in the future.
