6. But ask for a pass

Gao Yue's eyes rolled and he understood in his heart. It turned out that the poor old Gao Yue was fooled by this called Dou Shen. Dou Shen first pretended to be a good person and invited the poor student Gao Yue to Pingkangfang to find flowers and ask about the willows, and then asked the Runqing's Zhongqu beauty to hook him up. However, the ugly and fat Wang Tuantuan was accompanied by the dark lights and fire. No wonder Gao Yue saw the true face of the person beside the pillow after the morning drum. He was both hated and ashamed, and died of heartache.

"Gao Yue, Gao Yue, do you know the person who killed you? It's Dou Xique. Even if you turn into ashes, you have to settle the score with Dou Xique."

Having said that, Gao Yue was still calm on the surface, but hugged Wang Tuantuan and treated Dou Shen seriously, "You don't know anything. As the saying goes, you don't know how good Tuantuan is."

As a result, everyone was stunned and then laughed even happier.

Although there was a storm in front of Baotang Temple in Pingkangfang last night, there were still crowds of people at this time. The eighth day of the month here is a day for prostitutes in the shop to go out to pray for blessings. Before going out, the prostitutes gave the brothel a piece of silk, and then walked out of each song, took the maid to the temple to pray for blessings and watch the plays. Of course, there are more important things to take the opportunity to put aside the social guests and meet their lovers. Therefore, inside and outside the temple wall, there are scholars and scholars in Chang'an City, and they come to date with their close friends. It was really lively.

In front of the temple gate, Dou Shen and Chu Niang Runqing were accompanied by the charming Chu Niang and Runqing. The servants and servants held silk umbrellas and also held flags and banners with "Bei Li Zhongqu" written on them. The group of playboys and children behind them were clapping their hands and shouting, "People in the painting, immortals in the mortal world, talented men are matched with flowers and courtesans", which is really majestic.

Soon the cheers turned into laughter. Dou Shen followed. Two servants held a ragged umbrella. Below were Gao Yue in a shabby wrinkled bachelor's uniform and Wang Tuantuan, who was not good-looking, also holding a banner made of linen, with black charcoal lying the words "Bei Li Xun Wall Song" slanted with black charcoal. A mockery of "poor and yaks with yakshas".

Wang Tuantuan was very painful because the most important thing in being a prostitute in Pingkangfang is to be famous rather than to be inverted. However, Gao Yue calmly took it down and secretly thought, "After starting point, I am a dignified student. After all, I graduated from the highest institution of the entire empire. I should be much better than the history department of a university in Xijing City before. I am fully qualified to be an official. Being an official is interesting, and then I should be promoted step by step, dominate the temple, marrying the rich and beautiful Tang Dynasty. I am at the peak of my life in this era. I am really a little excited to think about it! Alas, how should I deal with the spring exam and the imperial examination be carried out right now?"

Just when he was so ruthless, under the wall by the door, a man with gray hair and beard wearing a used bachelor's uniform suddenly shouted at him, "Yi Song!"

Gao Yue was stunned, and then he realized that the man called him and looked at him, but he didn't know who the other party was. He saw that the man was about forty or fifty years old, with wrinkles on his face, and was shaking in the snow under the wall. The red man and green woman inside and outside Baotang Temple looked very eye-catching.

"You..." Gao Yue was embarrassed to say that he didn't know the other party because he was afraid of revealing his flaws.

But the man held a volume of poems and essays in his hand, and held them in a flattering manner in front of Dou Shen. He also complained to Gao Yue, "Yi Song, you have made friends with a hero like Dou Langjun, and I don't know if you can fool my brother." Then he said to Dou Shen humbly, "Dou Langjun, this line of volumes (1) is called literary compilation, all of which were selected from some poems in previous years. Because he got the news, he knew that Dou Langjun would soon serve as a Meiyuan Wei (2) and hold a farewell banquet in Pingkangli. He specially presented a total of thirteen poems, with dignity exposed, and no need to silence!"

Dou Shen looked contemptuous and called the man's name, "It turned out to be Liu Deshi from the Imperial College. These days, the investment banking and Wenshu have been thrown on my head?" After saying that, he took the banking papers from Liu Deshi and handed them over to Chu Niang next to him. Chu Niang unbuttoned the scroll and savored it.

...... Gao Yue was also shocked. The old man in front of him was actually a terrible student. How could there be such a down-and-out and elderly person in the highest institution of the entire empire?

"Mr. Dou is pitiful and pity me. I came to Chang'an City Imperial College from my hometown. I was in trouble in the imperial examination. I have been tiring for fifteen years. I am not as good as humans and ghosts. I beg you to say it to Dou Zhongcheng. Just say it, and you will be able to repay what you have been looking for in your life. From now on, you will be repaid even if you are a cow or a horse." Liu Deshi's words became very sad, and he almost knelt down to Dou Shen.

Dou Shen intended to embarrass Liu Deshi, and stimulated Gao Yue by the way, so he sneered, "Liu Deshi, Liu Deshi, you are a descendant of clothes and clothes, and you rely on the imperial school that your ancestors have entered. Of course, I know that this Taishi student is like a scholar in the martial arts world. He has to pass the poem and the articles. Now you have one on the left and one on the right, asking for help everywhere, and treat the national selection of scholars as? I said that you, the Liu family in Longxi, also had many people from the court, why did you get to you? Oh, tsk tsk, it's so unbearable. To be honest, although my uncle is the chief minister, the chief of the Spring Examination is not him, so don't be ill and seek medical treatment."

"I have already written the book of the ritual servants of the tribute before, but I have not received any response so far. I just ask Mr. Dou to tell Zhongcheng that he would give him a little help and just pass the list!" Liu Deshi became more and more anxious, and finally he was excited and couldn't help but cough violently.

At this time, Gao Yue approached Wang Tuantuan and asked, "I understand the chief officer, but what does the Tongbang mean? Could it be that Dou Zhongcheng can decide who to take or who if he does not preside over the scientific examination?"

Wang Tuantuan knew in his heart that he was a fake Gao Yue, and might not know the inside story here, but she was from Pingkangli and had a lot of knowledge about the situation of scholars on weekdays, so he replied, "The husband guessed correctly. The spring exam presided over by the chief officer. However, the nobles in the court can also know the chief officer and jointly decide which scholars to admit. This is called the Tongbang, which is an unwritten rule."

I go, is this the imperial examination that promotes my country's talent selection system to become fair, just and open? Is this the list of people not so important?

No wonder Liu Deshi wanted to invest in bank books everywhere and display his poems, probably to attract the appreciation of the powerful and powerful in the court, but now he has been cast to the younger generation like Dou Shen.

"Okay, I know. But my uncle is busy with everything he wants, but he still doesn't look at it. It depends on your luck." Dou Shen sneered, saying that he had taken over the Liu Deshi's book, and then turned around and pointed at Liu Deshi in a mocking tone and said to Gao Yue, "I heard that when this Liu Deshi came to Chang'an fifteen years ago, he was really imposing at that time. He felt that no one in the world could reach his literary talent. He was like taking things out of his pocket. Who would have thought that now - Yisong, I advise you to be a good person and make every day, so that you will not end up like him in fifteen years."
