Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 27 Thunderbolt
When Young Master Zhang had enough to eat and drink at Eunuch Wei’s mansion, it was almost two o’clock, and it was getting late. Young Master Zhang offered to leave immediately, but Wei Zhongxian didn’t keep him. The young master was sent out of the house, firstly because Wei Zhongxian accepted Young Master Zhang as his godson, and secondly because Wei Zhongxian still admired Young Master Zhang and wanted to accept Young Master Zhang as a party member, so he gave Young Master Zhang enough face.But in this way, the whole capital is naturally full of activities. The civil and military officials are surprised at the importance Wei Zhongxian attaches to Young Master Zhang, and they hear the rumor that Wei Zhongxian has accepted Young Master Zhang as a godson, so they are naturally scrambling to express Baozhao Young Master Zhang flattered me a lot, but I won't mention that for a while.

"Godfather, take care, I'm leaving now, baby." After getting on the horse, Young Master Zhang bowed respectfully and bid farewell to Wei Zhongxian. After making a bow, he led Zhang Shitou and rode away.Looking at the back of Young Master Zhang leaving, Wei Zhongxian was thoughtful, and refused to go back to the room for a long time. The dog-headed military officer Cui Chengxiu next to him came up and asked, "Nine thousand years old, what do you think of your new godson?"

"What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian asked back.Cui Chengxiu thought about his choice of words, and replied cautiously: "In my opinion, since Zhang Haogu openly fought against the Donglin Bandit in the Imperial College, his loyalty to Jiuqiantui should be unquestionable, and he is astute and eloquent. It’s amazing, and it should be worth using. But this person is too slippery and flattering, and I don’t know if he can do practical and important things.”

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and pondered: "Our family has almost the same impression of him. We are worried that he will exaggerate his words, and he will only talk about it but not do practical things. But it doesn't matter. After he finishes the imperial examination and gets a real job, our family will assign him a few more One thing, you will know whether he is a person who can do practical things." Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian stretched his face a little, and said: "It is not this that worries our family the most, but that he mentioned Xiong Tingbi in front of our family. If he wants to play tricks to reverse the case for Xiong Tingbi, then our family will not tolerate him! Hmph, old thief Xiong Tingbi, even dare to lie to our family, our family will not spare him!"

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!" In the night wind, Young Master Zhang, who was not very good at riding, sneezed twice in a row on the horse, and almost fell off the horse.Zhang Shitou was so frightened that he quickly supported him, and asked with concern: "Master, did you catch a cold from the night wind? Why don't you be aggrieved and ask the little one to take off his coat and put it on for you?"

"It's okay, but the nose is a little itchy." Young Master Zhang replied rubbing his nose.Zhang Shitou asked curiously again: "By the way, young master, how did you match up with the father and son of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong just now? Did you ask him to be your godfather?" Stomach angry, seeing no one around, Young Master Zhang cursed in a low voice: "Fart! Who would recognize a eunuch as a godfather? It was that shameless old eunuch who insisted on accepting me as a godson. I had no choice but to promise."

"Young master, don't be angry, in fact, you will not suffer from this matter." Zhang Shitou comforted: "I heard people say that Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the dynasty, Gu Ge, is seventeen or eighteen years older than Jiuqian, and he is still shameless. I recognized Jiu Qiansui as your godfather. Young master, you are much younger than Jiu Qiansui, and you don't have to mess with your seniority if you accept Jiu Qiansui as your godfather, and it will be much easier for you to get promoted and make a fortune in the future."

"Oh, don't look at dancing happily now, I'm afraid you will make a list in the future." Young Master Zhang lamented sadly, and couldn't help but think of the tragedy of the Wei Party being liquidated by Chongzhen after Wei Zhongxian's downfall. Said: "Shitou, when you get up tomorrow morning, go out and find out what is the palace examination. Today, old man Wei mentioned a few palace examinations, saying that I still have to pass some palace examinations before I can get an official position. You should inquire carefully and find out what it is. Call the palace test!"

"The palace test? What is that?" Zhang Shitou, who was also a country bumpkin and semi-literate, was also confused, so he could only nod his head and replied, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely find out for you tomorrow."

"The sooner the better." Young Master Zhang said with a serious face, worried: "I always have a hunch that this imperial examination seems to ruin my business."

…………

Unfortunately, Master Zhang’s crow’s mouth was right. Early the next morning, when Master Zhang was still lying on the bed with his butt naked, snoring and drooling, Zhang Shitou, who had gone out to inquire about news, stumbled into the room. When entering the room, he yelled loudly: "Master, get up quickly, something is wrong, something is wrong!"

"What happened?" Young Master Zhang opened his eyes and asked vaguely.Zhang Shitou screamed: "Of course it's about the palace examination! My little one, I got it right, the last exam you took, young master, is called the Huijian examination. Whether you won the first prize or the third prize, you still have to take the palace examination on March [-]th. The emperor will personally come up with the questions for those of you who have won Jinshi. If you do well in the exam, you can be re-ranked, and if you don’t do well in the exam, you may lose the ranking." Speaking of this, Zhang Shitou lowered his voice, trembling in the ear of Young Master Zhang. He said: "If you are caught cheating during the palace examination, you will be killed."

"What? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Young Master Zhang jumped up from the bed with his buttocks naked as if struck by lightning and screamed.Zhang Shitou hurriedly closed the door, lowered his voice and said with a mournful face: "Young master, this is related to your head. Do you dare to make a mistake?"

"It's over! I was really screwed by that old man Liu Baorui this time!" Young Master Zhang wailed.In fact, Young Master Zhang has long felt that something is wrong, because when Young Master Zhang watched the braid show before, he had seen the scene of candidates taking the exam in the Golden Temple, but the story in the textbook did not mention the imperial examination at all. That's why Young Master Zhang thought that it was a matter of the Qing Dynasty that candidates had to take the exam in the Golden Luan Hall, and that the Ming Dynasty didn't need to take the test like this - but this can't be entirely blamed on our Young Master Zhang's shallow historical knowledge, the key is that in the 21st century TV is full of legacy , there is no place for Han historical dramas at all, so Master Zhang didn't know that there was also a palace test in the Ming Dynasty...

It can be seen from this that the brainwashing hazards of brain-destroyed dramas are not only ordinary.

"It's over, it's over, this time it's over!" Young Master Zhang hugged his head, buried his head in the bed and screamed silently, "This time it's miserable! I can't even write compositions in simplified Chinese characters. What can I do to write in traditional characters? Stereotype? And you have to write with a brush, I can only use fountain pens and ballpoint pens! What can I do?!"

"Master, don't worry, today is the sixth day of March, we still have time to think of a solution." Although Zhang Shitou was also in a state of confusion, he still loyally found clothes to put on Young Master Zhang, and said in a low voice: " Young master, otherwise, since you have already worshiped Jiuqiantui as your godfather, you might as well go and explain the truth to Jiuqiantui, and ask Jiuqiantui to come forward to intercede for you."

"You want to harm me?" Young Master Zhang replied angrily, "Why did the old eunuch Wei accept me as a godson? Because he thought I had a lot of knowledge and wanted me to be like a dog to bite someone. Now I run away Go and tell him that he doesn’t know a single word, that Tanhua’s fame was obtained, and he will kill me first!”

"Yes...that's the reason." Zhang Shitou shuddered, and quickly changed his words: "Then is it okay to do this? Anyway, we still have some money in our hands, so we should find a way to buy exam questions, and prepare them in advance and bring them into the exam room." Go, just change the exam papers when the time comes."

Zhang Shitou's method is a bit reliable, so Young Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, Young Master Zhang still shook his head and said, "No, the emperor personally set the questions for the imperial examination. Let's go there to buy the test questions? There must be a body search, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials watching. If I am discovered, can my little head be saved?" Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang added in his stomach, "Do you think it is The civil service exam I took in my previous life? After passing the written exam, there will be an interview. No matter how good the exam is, it’s useless to pass the interview. No matter how bad the exam is, it’s enough to pass the interview.”

"Then, what should we do now?" Both ideas were rejected, and Zhang Shitou had no idea. In desperation, Zhang Shitou had no choice but to suggest: "Master, since there is no other way, let's run away! There are still nine days left, let's go back to Linqing and discuss with the master first."

"Run?" Young Master Zhang's eyes lit up, and he thought he was right, since I can't pass the imperial examination, can I still run?First run back to Linqing and hide for a few days. If the old eunuch Wei sends someone to arrest me, I will disguise myself and change my name to hide in another place. China is so big, I don’t believe that the old eunuch Wei can reach everywhere?Taking ten thousand steps back, even if I really can’t stay in China, I can escape overseas!Anyway, you don’t need a passport to go abroad in this era. I fled to the United States and Canada now. When future generations return to China, they will be returned overseas Chinese!Haha, just do it!Thinking up to this point, Young Master Zhang jumped up again, and shouted: "Stone, pack your things, and return to Linqing now!"

"Yes." Zhang Shitou did not object this time, and hurriedly packed his luggage and prepared to leave.Young Master Zhang ordered again: "You can't take the clothes with you, and don't refund the store money, just bring the money with you. We want others to think that we still live here and just went out for a few days." Zhang Shitou hurriedly cleaned up and agreed. , and asked again: "Master, what way shall we go this time?"

"Take the waterway!" Young Master Zhang replied decisively: "Go to the canal wharf and hire a boat first, and say that it is to enjoy the scenery of the canal. After we leave the capital, we will spend money on the seasick family and let him send us back to Linqing go."
