Chapter 235 5 Surnames and 7 Wang Can't Sit Still

When the new chief examiner was announced, scholars all over the world were excited.

No one knows who Ma Zhou is.

In teahouses, restaurants, teachers workshops, and even farm fields, the words "Who is Ma Zhou" have become the catchphrase when scholars meet.

In the middle hall of Cui's house in Chang'an, there were five people of about the same age sitting.

Cui Mingan, Zheng Youlai, Lu Qingfeng, Wang Gui, Li Chengru.

The five of them looked at each other, gloomy and uncertain.

Lu Qingfeng touched the mole on the corner of his mouth, and quietly put down the wrench in his hand.

"If you ask me, this imperial examination is nothing more than one of His Majesty's three fires."

"I mean, it's almost enough, and we don't need to take it to heart."

Zheng Youlai on the side, the head of the Zheng family, has been the weakest of the Zheng family for many years, and they were the first to bow their heads when they were forced by the court. As long as they bow their heads, other families will cooperate to resist.

Together, that's it.

But today, his face was full of sadness.

"This time, our Zheng family dare not bow their heads easily."

"If other families can carry it, our Zheng family will be grateful."

Zheng Youlai's face was ugly, but it didn't mean he had to admit defeat and compromise.

The five major families have been linked together for hundreds of years, and this time they are facing the most severe crisis.

Wang Gui and Li Chengru were very calm: "I've read a lot of newspapers, and I've done a lot of research these days."

"Educating the people is a good thing, but if it is not used properly, it may be the source of destruction. We have to be careful."

Cui Mingan sneered at this moment: "Don't panic, I've prepared a perfect plan, all you need is your cooperation when the time comes."

The other four people looked at each other in blank dismay, Cui Mingan made a move, basically it was a final decision, what did he want to do?
Cui Min looked at the crowd with a dry smile: "Scholars in the world, if you want to pass the imperial examination to become a master, you can, but you have to be obedient."

"I have already dispatched people to recruit scholars who are rushing to take the exam. Some of them are from poor families. For them, it is worthwhile to exchange tens of thousands of taels of silver in three years."

Zheng Youlai suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. You may not be able to pass the exam if you get fame, but once you give up, you will have money. Hiss... Cui Xiang is brilliant!"

"Cui Xiang is worthy of being an important minister of the Tang Dynasty. He always has such a good way."

Lu Qingfeng agreed.

Cui Mingan is obviously very deterrent to the five surnames and seven wangs, and has full control. The Cui family of Boling and the Cui family of Qinghe, the most common surnames in the world, come from them.

"But what if they don't need money?"

Wang Gui was a little puzzled.

Cui Minqian said lightly: "It's easy to do if there is no shortage of money. Our big families are all in the court, and there are quotas for recommending officials. Their purpose is to be an official, not an imperial examination."

Wang Gui's eyes lit up, and the light flashed: "Cui Xiang is really hot!"

A recommendation, broke the root of the imperial examination!

"Of course, if some people still refuse to accept it, we will let them know that the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are powerful, and the Weishui is surging. If you throw someone in, no one knows where it is."

After the words fell, Zhongtang was as cold as an ice cellar.

Cui Minqian Langsheng said: "Today's matter, the five of us sitting here represent the five major families. It is really helpless. The emperor wants to do something to us. The world knows that this trick is missing."

"If there are still people who don't cooperate and get into the examination room by chance, hehe, although Ma Zhou is the chief examiner, except for him, they are all from us."

"If his imperial power is greater than the sky, what is he in the examination room?"

If Cui Mingan's words are spread, it will be no different from a rebellion. The reason why he spoke today is to tie the five families to the same rope, so that no one can back down.

At this moment, everyone hesitated.

Wang Gui was the first to speak: "It's dangerous."

Lu Qingfeng: "Wealth and wealth are found in danger."

Zheng Youlai: "I don't think there is any problem. We have been acting like this for hundreds of years. The imperial power belongs to us, but it is just a kind of bondage. Anyone can change the position, but we must be obedient."

Li Chengru said very little today, and at this time he also got up slowly: "That's it! If you catch wind and shadows, it's very simple. I let the disciples advertise to the world, saying that the new chief examiner Ma Zhou is doing favoritism and cheating. Kill two birds with one stone, no, kill three birds with one stone!"

Slandered Ma Zhou and ruined Li Shimin.That's what they do.

Now Li Shimin has too many lice and doesn't mind biting him, but Wu Xing Qi Wang will never give you that chance.

They fear Li Shimin.

In Chang'an City, Wang Dalu, a scholar rushing for the exam, had just bid farewell to his colleagues, and when he returned to his room, he saw someone was already sitting inside.

"Who are you?" Wang Dalu was a little flustered. After all, he was a scholar. If you say that you are strong, you can be considered strong, but if you are not good at fighting, you are really not good at it.

The other side looked gloomy and cold: "Wang Dalu, a person from Jiangxi Fengxiang, hehe, there are also people in Jiangxi who are rushing for the exam, not bad."

"You... how do you know!"

Wang Dalu was frightened, his hands and feet were cold, and he had just arrived in Chang'an, and everything was clearly felt, what should he do?
If the other party has malice towards him, wouldn't he have to pay in vain for ten years of poverty?
"Don't be afraid, I am a businessman."

The man was not in a hurry, "I'm here to discuss a business with you, you are very talented."

Wang Dalu's back was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were wet: "I will give you whatever you want."

"Don't be afraid, I don't want your life. I just want your chance to take the exam. If you sell me the place, you can catch the exam after three years, but in these three years, you will have a lot of money."

Wang Dalu's eyes widened. He had never heard of it. Can you buy and sell in rush for the exam?

"Hehe, don't try to understand this matter. Ants can't understand an eagle flying in the sky."

"For three years, you have no worries about food and clothing, concentrate on the exam, and you will be admitted to the Great Tang Dynasty Hall later. You will understand everything when the time comes. Do you want to do this business?"

Wang Dalu's heart was churning, the other party offered a lot of money, and the price was very attractive.

He is a poor man. If a poor child wants to stand up, he must either get a job or make money.

But now, what can he do?In order to obtain fame, his youth, his first 20 years have been devoted to studying.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Dalu's heart was moved. He thought of his old mother, who worked hard every day to prevent himself from being involved in rough and heavy work, but now it seems that he has never understood his old mother since he was a child.

Thinking of this, Wang Dalu had tears in his eyes.

"How much is it? I still have a mother at home. I want her to live a better life."

"He's a good man, dutiful son, 10 taels, you can take it now and give up the exam."

The man seemed to have thought of something: "By the way, this matter cannot be disclosed."

"Remember to go back and study hard. After three years, maybe you and I will become colleagues."
