Chapter 314 Celebration
Of course, some people were awarded the exam, and some were not named. Just when some were happy and some were sad, the door of the Ministry of Rites opened and several officials walked out of it.
When the candidates saw the officials coming out, they immediately stopped the noise.
"All the candidates on the list will go to the palace in three days to take the front test." An official said loudly.
"Do you still need an exam? Haven't you all finished ranking this time?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"This is the arrangement of Your Majesty. Those who don't want to take the exam can withdraw." After the official finished speaking coldly, the dissatisfied candidate immediately closed his mouth.
After saying this, the gate of the Ministry of Rites closed again, and the candidates immediately started to whisper.
This time, there are a total of 100 people on the list. The admission ratio can be said to be high. Only more than 50 candidates with poor grades failed. This time, as long as you work harder for the questions, you can get the first place in the list.
"Brother Zheng, what should I do? Why do I have to take the exam once? I almost failed!" Wu Long sighed.
Zheng Sen smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry. You are ranked 80th among these hundred people. I believe that even if His Majesty takes the exam personally, there will be no problems."
"Oh, I hope!" Wu Long shook his head.
At this time, two slightly older young men came to Zheng Sen excitedly and said, "Brother Zheng, let's go to eat and have a few drinks together. From now on, we will be in the same dynasty and we will be in charge of the same dynasty. We will need a lot of help in the future!"
Zheng Sen looked at the person, and it turned out to be Li Dahe and Feng Yu who were behind him, and smiled and said, "Okay, we have been classmates for so many years, this time we are all on the list, so it's time to celebrate. Brother Wu, don't frown, let's have a few drinks together."
The candidates who were on the list cheered and rushed towards the sky. This group of young and outstanding young men immediately attracted the attention of many girls.
Those candidates who failed the exam could only look at the list dejectedly, shook their heads, and left here in dismay to prepare for the next exam.
Food is the best. When nearly a hundred candidates arrived, they immediately booked the restaurant on the second floor. A group of young people shouted enthusiastically and quickly arranged the restaurant.
With the emergence of iron pots and stir-frying, the dishes in Xia Kingdom gradually became richer. As a restaurant specializing in food, it is quite researched in this regard. The dishes here are almost comparable to those in the palace.
As various dishes were served up like flowing water, the young people suddenly screamed excitedly.
Every dish here is equivalent to their meal money for several days, but on such a major day today, no one cares so much. After spending all the money accumulated, as long as you become an official in the future, you will have a generous salary waiting for you every month. What is this small amount of money?
After three rounds of drinking, the students who were drinking started singing loudly. Under someone's leadership, young singing sounded in the restaurant.
"A big river has a wide wave, and the wind blows the fragrance of millet and flowers on both sides. My family lives on the shore. I am used to listening to the boatman's horn and seeing the red walls on the shore..."
The cheerful students knew that they supported each other and returned to their residences in the evening.
A farmer's house outside Yancheng, a student with scars on his face returned to his home before dark.
He pushed open the simple wooden fence and shouted loudly: "Mother, I'm back."
In the simple thatched hut, several people heard the young man's voice and hurriedly ran out.
"Fengyu, you are back." A peasant woman said excitedly.
The young man looked at the woman and chuckled, "Mother, today the results were released, I passed the exam."
"What?" the woman grabbed the young man's shoulder excitedly.
"Mother, I passed the exam, I am the 23rd place." The young man laughed.
"Okay, okay, it's really a blessing from God. My son will be an official of Xia Kingdom in the future." The woman knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Tiankou.
The young man looked up at the middle-aged man standing aside and nodded to him and said, "Father!"
The middle-aged man smiled silly and said, "Just pass the exam, be hungry, it's time to have a meal, let's have a meal together!"
"Brother is so amazing. I have to take the exam when I grow up." A little boy, who is about four or five years old, held the young man's hand and jumped and shouted.
With the bright moonlight, the family of four sat in the courtyard and ate quite sumptuous meals.
"Fengyu, this is the wine and meat that your mother bought in the city today. Today, we, father and son, have a few bowls of wine." The middle-aged man picked up the wine jar and poured the wine bowls.
The young man looked at the wine in the bowl and stood up and said, "Father, thank you for your care over the years. Although I am not your biological father, I have always regarded you as my biological father. Thank you for your kindness in support of the wind and rain."
After saying that, I drank the wine in one go.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said several good words repeatedly, and his voice could not help but choke up and drank the wine in the bowl.
The young man poured the wine and said to the woman: "Mother, if you hadn't taken me to the clinic for treatment, I might have died long ago. All I have given to you today, and the child would have no way to repay me."
After saying that, I drank the wine in the bowl again.
"Those who have read books speak differently from us, and they feel comfortable to listen to. In the future, will you become an official in Daxia?" the woman asked.
The young man shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. His Majesty the Emperor will have to take the exam for us personally before we can decide." The young man said.
"Why do you still need to take the exam?" the middle-aged man frowned.
"I don't know this, but don't worry, I will definitely pass it." The young man patted his chest with great confidence.
Just as the candidates celebrated their passing the exam in their own way, in the Daxia Palace, Wang Lang squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Jianya sitting below.
"Lin Jianya, do you know why I asked you back?"
"I don't know!" Lin Jianya bowed with dissatisfaction.
"You find out why those cannibal tribes don't send people back to report, cut off the prisoners' hands and feet, and dig them out with their eyes. How cruel is it? What's the difference between doing this and those barbarians? I also get news that you beat soldiers after drinking in the army, but this is the case." Wang Lang asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with killing those people who eat people? It will take more than a month to come back to report. What if those guys run away? What's the big deal if I'm the general and fight a soldier." Lin Jianya retorted.
When Wang Lang heard this, his face turned pale and stood up and pointed at Lin Jianya and shouted: "I will decide whether to kill or retain those cannibal tribes. If you give orders privately, it is beyond your authority. According to the law, you should arrest you and investigate. The means of torture and killing prisoners are too cruel and not what people do. You are the leader of the army. The soldiers are your brothers in your robes. Even if you cannot regard them as your brothers, you must treat your soldiers well. If you do this now, when you encounter war in the future, what do you use to make your soldiers work for you? How can you lead the troops like this? How can I give the army to you with peace of mind."
