Chapter 204 Hey, hit!
The exams between Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong were very easy... Just take the exams casually!
Anyway, they didn't think about going to high school!
They came to Guangzhou for a while, copied a list, explored the truth, and then went back to Shaozhou to submit the work. This trip went deep into the enemy camp and looked very smoothly. Not only did they go around Guangzhou City, but they looked at the Sanyuanli Fortress and Yuexiu Mountain Four-State Fortress that was under construction from afar, but they also listened to Zhu Hetong's speech in Guangzhou Prefecture and Inn, and also got a bunch of "original Confucian pamphlets".
Now they just need to handle the exam and copy the list and go back to receive the reward.
With the knowledge of Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong, there are difficulties in high school, but there is no problem to write a poem to get the exam qualification and then write a eight-part essay to hand it over.
After coping with the exam, they waited for the results to be released while wandering around and outside Guangzhou City. Sometimes they would have a cup of tea in the taverns and teahouses in the outer city of Guangzhou to inquire about some gossip.
They really found three "big news" when they were asked about it.
First, Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan, who had long been loyal to him, was not dead yet and was still held in the prison of Guangzhou Prefecture!
Second, Xinhui County under Guangzhou Prefecture is still the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince Shang Zhixin, the king of Pingnan, is guarding there!
Third, Zhu Heying was about to lead the army to attack Xinhui County after the palace examination.
Although these three "big news" are not a secret in Guangzhou City, no one in Shaozhou seems to know... So as long as they bring these two news back, they will make another contribution!
List of achievements, Yuan Ru’s booklet, these three “big news” are another achievement... After getting the three great achievements, why should you be a decent official?
So on the day the fifth day of the October 20th, Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong got up early, packed their luggage before dawn, took a few subordinates, took a small notebook and a brush, and went straight to the Guangzhou Gongyuan. After preparing to copy the Jinshi list, they immediately left Guangzhou, a place of right and wrong.
Although they got up quite early, when they arrived outside the Gate of Gongyuan, there were already many people standing here. These people did not scatter and stand casually, but concentrated outside a section of the wall outside the Gate of Gongyuan.
Fu Honglie came to Guangzhou several times in his early years, and every time he would go to the Gongyuan to stroll around - by the way, he would fantasize about his high school scene.
So he knew that there were signs outside the wall, and the list of the winners would be posted there first, and then someone would be sent to the high school juren's home to send good news.
So Fu Shazi quickly pulled Zhou Peigong into the crowd. After finally squeezing away a group of onlookers and reached the innermost point. The two looked up and saw that the results were indeed released.
There are black characters on the imperial list, and a large area of walls are posted. The characters are very large, and you can see them from a distance. These characters include ranking, hometown and name. Among them, only the hometown column of the tribute scholars from the Cantonese court controlled area has written a certain county in a certain province, and the hometown column of the tribute scholars outside the Cantonese court controlled area has only provincial origins.
Fu Honglie quickly took out the glasses of the crystal and put them on, then took out a small notebook and a brush to prepare for the record. Zhou Peigong next to him looked good and was responsible for reading the list.
Because some juren are working officials or have something to do at home, they cannot read the list themselves and send their families to copy.
Some wealthy businessmen also sent people to copy the list, maybe they wanted to "catch the son-in-law under the list". So there was nothing strange about the behavior of Fu Honglie and Zhou Peigong. The "beheading Confucians" who were present to maintain order did not stop them and copied them casually... Of course, this is also the meaning of the above!
What is announced now is only the list of tribute scholars who can pass the pass, and the Jinshi who can pass the palace examination is the first time they pass the palace examination.
However, this list is already very valuable!
"Huiyuan, Qiu Rong, Chaoyang County, Guangdong Province! Second place, Yang Xiuqing, Guangxi Province; Third place, Guo Youde, Northern Zhili; Fourth place, Qu Huajie, Panyu County, Guangdong Province; Fifth place, Luo Dafa, Guangdong Province; Sixth place, Feng Xifan, Jinjiang County, Fujian Province; Seventh place, Luo Wenzao, Fujian Province; Eighth place, Huang Shiren, Guangdong Province; Ninth place, Zhu Shugui, Jiangling County, Huguang Province; Tenth place, Zhou Chaoxian, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province... Seventh place, Nian Gengyao, Southern Zhili; Seventh place, Zhang Tingyu, Southern Zhili; Seventh place, Yue Zhongqi, Shaanxi Province; Seventh place, Nian Hulu and Heshen, Northern Zhili; Seventh place, Yao Qisheng, Zhejiang Province; Seventh place, Fu Honglie, Jiangxi Province... Seventh place, Zhou Peigong, Huguang Province!"
"This, this..." Zhou Peigong was so surprised that he could not speak when he read his name. Fu Honglie beside him was also shocked.
After a while, Zhou Peigong reacted and looked at Fu Honglie in surprise, with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice: "I've been beaten, Zhongmou, we've been beaten!"
Falled!
When it comes to the Golden List!
It is no wonder that Zhou Pei Guihui suddenly lost his composure for the good thing that scholars all over the world dream of.
But Fu Honglie still remained awake... He is different from Zhou Peigong. He has become a magistrate and a prefect, and is not so obsessed with the officialdom. He has also experienced ups and downs in the officialdom, and his mentality is much more stable than Zhou Peigong.
So he already knew that something was wrong, because he didn't take the exam with Fu Honglie's real name!
At this time, someone around heard Zhou Peigong shouting "I've won, I've won." Several of them were still smiling and clasping their fists at the two of them, wanting to make friends.
Fu Honglie knew that once people got entangled, it would be difficult to get out. So he grabbed Zhou Peigong's arm and rushed out of the crowd. Then he entered a small alley next to the gongyuan in Guangzhou, and then ran all the way until he passed through the whole alley and arrived in a very secluded street and alley.
Zhou Peigong had already woken up at this time and did not blame Fu Honglie. He just murmured: "Impossible, Impossible, I clearly used the name of my father..."
"Of course it's impossible!" Fu Honglie also said, "I also used a pseudonym... This is too strange! Pei Gong, we have to leave quickly!"
Zhou Peigong also reacted and nodded and said, "Yes, I can't stay for a long time."
Fu Honglie said: "Then get out of the city quickly!"
"Wait." Zhou Peigong stopped Fu Honglie, "You can't go like this... you have to disguise yourself!"
"How to change the dress?" Fu Honglie was a "fool", but he was not as clever as Zhou Peigong, so he asked the other party for advice.
"I have to cut my braids," Zhou Peigong said, "changing another piece of clothing."
"What? Cut the braids?" Fu Honglie was reluctant when he heard this.
That's his beloved braid!
"If you don't cut your braids, you will die!" Zhou Peigong gritted his teeth and scared Fu Honglie, "When the head is gone, there will be braids?"
"Then, then... well!" Fu Honglie was right when he thought about it. He had to keep his head to be a slave to the Qing Dynasty!
Zhou Peigong quickly gave a slave who followed him in Tuhai Mansion, "Go and buy some clothes for Han people."
"Good!" The slave was also a clever person. After getting Zhou Peigong's words, he glanced at him, counted the number of people, and then went there as if he was flying.
Then Zhou Peigong pulled out a dagger and grabbed Fu Honglie's precious braid and cut it without saying a word. After cutting Fu Honglie's braid, Zhou Peigong cut his braid very carefully.
Following Zhou Peigong and Fu Honglie's men, they were also very clever. They took out daggers and cut their braids, and they all turned bald.
After they cut their braids, they waited for a while. The subordinate sent by Zhou Peigong was already back with a large bag of clothes and a few books.
"Why are there any books? What kind of books?" Zhou Peigong felt a little strange when he saw the book in the man's hand, so he asked.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the newly printed "Collected Poems of the Renzi Ke Gongshi" that I saw in a study on the street where I bought clothes... There is a list of fake tributes on it. I think it is not safe for the two gentlemen to leave the city with handwritten lists. If they are searched, it is difficult to explain, it is better to bring two collections of poems out of the city."
