There is a little husband in the home of crossing

On the ninth day of March, the examination was held in full swing, and all the candidates packed their bags and rushed to the Gongyuan before dawn.

The weather in early March was still very cold, and the wind blew on the face with a sting of cuts. When Li Yaonan and Zhang Qixian rushed to the Gongyuan, the door was already full of people. Talking loudly, looking around expectantly from time to time, the ground is covered with densely packed large packages, the scene in front of him is so messed up.

"Brother Li."

From a long distance, Li Yaonan heard someone calling, turned his head to take a closer look, walked over slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, Brother Lu, long time no see."

Li Mingzhang bowed back and said with a smile: "Well, you Qingyang Layman, you really kept it a secret."

Lu Zhian also joked: "I've been wanting to talk to Brother Li for a long time, and today I've caught him."

Li Yaonan laughed, and said cheerfully: "I'll treat you after the exam. By the way, where is Brother Zhou? Why don't you see anyone else?"

A look of worry flashed in Li Mingzhang's eyes: "A Qian's family has something to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take the exam this time."

Li Yaonan frowned, what an important matter, even the exam was delayed, and then he became a little clear, thinking of Zhou Qian's life experience, Li Yaonan sighed, brother Zhou's talent is very good, it's a pity.

Seeing him like this, Li Mingzhang knew that he had guessed the cause and effect, so he didn't hide it immediately, and said depressedly: "Ah Qian was beaten up by his father, and he still can't get out of bed.

Lu Zhian looked astonished: "Why?"

Li Mingzhang said helplessly: "Ah Qian is a bastard, Mr. Zhou is upright, and there is no room for sand in his eyes."

Li Yaonan sneered, big families always like this, they like to put on a high-sounding appearance in everything they do, but this matter has nothing to do with him, they met each other by chance, although they met for half a month, the relationship was not good enough, it's not their turn Feeling wronged by him, he said with a smile: "Let's go visit some other day, and I will trouble brother Li to lead the way."

Li Mingzhang nodded and said, "That's natural."

As a few people chatted, the gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and the disciples fell silent for a moment, their eyes fixed on the red-painted gate.

Zhang Qixian was also in the crowd, found a few old friends, saw the gate of the Gongyuan opened, said goodbye quickly, and quickly returned to Li Yaonan, met with Li Mingzhang and Lu Zhian, the officials of the Gongyuan had already begun to roll their names.

During the exercise, Li Yaonan also saw an old acquaintance, this half-brother.

Li Yaozu seemed to be smarter than Li Yaozong, seeing that Li Yaonan's expression was not showing at all, he just pretended that he didn't know him, and he didn't even look at him.

Li Yaonan was very satisfied with his attitude, it was very good that he did not violate the river's water by soaking in the water.

As the officials were about to roll call, Li Mingzhang went in first, followed by Zhang Qixian, who patted his little cousin on the shoulder and said solemnly, "I'm waiting for your title on the gold list, brother."

Li Yaonan hooked his lips and smiled slightly: "You too."

Zhang Qixian picked up the package and walked towards the Gongyuan.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, it was Li Yaonan's turn, and he turned around and cupped hands with Lu Zhian: "After the imperial examination, there is a teahouse at si o'clock the next day. See you soon."

Lu Zhian nodded lightly: "There is a famous tea house, I will definitely go there for my brother."

After checking Li Yaonan's package, the officer let him go smoothly. This time Li Yaonan was sitting in the east, close to the invigilator. It was also the best room in the entire Gongyuan, and perhaps the worst in summer, but in early spring, it was the worst. is the warmest.

Li Yaonan was a little surprised, but generally speaking, it was a good thing, as long as he got good grades in the exam, the rest is up to him.

When all the candidates are present, the invigilator will issue the test questions.

Last year, there was a summer drought, ground cracks, no crops, autumn floods, and people's poverty. He Zhihu, what should officials do, and what natural disasters can hinder...

Seeing the exam questions this time, Li Yaonan was slightly stunned for a moment, but soon his face returned to normal, and like all the candidates, he began to think hard.

Just as surprised as him was Zhang Qixian. Seeing the exam questions, his heartbeat accelerated sharply, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He tried his best to suppress himself, so that he did not lose his composure in front of everyone, lowered his head, and buried himself deeply. Grinding, pondering, it took a while before returning to normal.

Li Yaonan was very proud in his heart, and it was not surprising that his husband would guess the exam questions correctly. Lin Yixuan was already well-educated. Last summer was dry, and there was a lot of rain in autumn. During the rural exam, it rained continuously for more than half a month. The people on both sides of the strait suffered disasters. After a long drought, there must be floods. It is normal for Fu Lang to think of this.

Li Yaonan had already done the examination questions of this imperial examination countless times, and soon he had a draft in his mind. At this time, his writing was full of thoughts, and he began to answer the paper with a brush and ink.

In summer drought, irrigation canals can be used to plant drought-resistant food, such as corn, sweet potato and other plants.

Flood storms, disaster relief with work, let the victims repair the river by themselves, so they must do their best, and save money for disaster relief for the court.

When the people are in poverty, the imperial government can slightly reduce the agricultural tax and replace it with a commercial tax. First, it can enrich the treasury, and second, it can reduce the pressure on the people, and the prosperity of the people is just around the corner.

An official should be impartial and selfless, and act according to the law... In short, Li Yaonan advocated the rule of law, and gave a lot of benefits of the rule of law. He guessed that the current emperor should also respect the rule of law, otherwise he would not have made many reforms to the court.In addition to the heirs, the current emperor can be regarded as a wise king.

Natural disasters cannot be stopped, but they can be prevented...

Li Yaonan edited and deleted, and wrote a large article. He knew that the chief examiner of this subject was conservative and liked solid and steady articles. He was famous in front of the emperor, but this did not mean that his answer sheet could be passed to the imperial court. After thinking about it again, he still deleted most of the real thoughts in his heart, and all the possible plans were written on the answer sheet.

His thinking is too avant-garde, even if he himself knows it is feasible, but in the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly whimsical. He took the imperial examination for the sake of being named on the gold list and to stand out from others. Little things don't pay off.

This time, Li Yaonan answered the questions very quickly, and after three days, he began to calm down and rest. The examiner looked at him with regret, shaking his head, and curiosity.

Li Yaonan is a Layman Qingyang, with the emperor doing publicity, everyone in the capital knows it, many eyes are staring at him, to see whether Layman Qingyang is a real talent or a fake Taoist, the examiner saw that he was so negligent, He was a little displeased, but when he walked to the case and saw Li Yaonan's answer sheet, his eyes lit up immediately, and he felt a little ashamed for his thoughts just now, it seemed that he had a plan in mind.

The chief examiner no longer cares about him, but all kinds of things in the examination room have been reported to the emperor through the mouth of a third person. Of course, the emperor is not concerned about layman Qingyang, but all the examiners of this scientific examination. Hearing that Li Yaonan has already After answering the test questions, the emperor felt a little curious, and after asking people to mark the papers, he showed Li Yaonan's test questions to him.

Inadvertently, Li Yaonan got an opportunity, a chance to really catch the attention of the emperor.

Nine days passed in a blink of an eye. After leaving the examination room, Li Yaonan was in good spirits. Lin Yixuan was already waiting outside the gate of the Gongyuan. There were also many family members waiting here like him.

Seeing the crying all around, Li Yaonan felt that he was quite used to it, every time he came out of the examination room, it seemed that this kind of scene would happen, even if he wasn't used to it.

Not long after, Zhang Qixian also left the examination room. It may be because the answer sheet was relatively easy this time. His face was a little haggard, but his eyes were full of smiles. He looked pretty good. When my brother left the examination room, his eye circles were blue, and his legs were trembling when he walked.

Li Yaonan turned around and said goodbye to Lu Zhian, and made an appointment to see her again tomorrow. He put his husband in his arms and swaggered into the carriage, making Zhang Qixian stare blankly with anger.

The two of them thought he didn't exist. Zhang Qixian firmly denied it in his heart. In fact, he was a little envious. Poets, what they like most are romantic stories. Desirable.

If Li Yaonan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely sneer, don't look at the third cousin who is not very old, he already has a wife, a concubine and two couples in his family.

After returning to the mansion, the hot water and meals had already been prepared. Mother Lin knew that her brother-in-law was taking the imperial examination and had moved to Li Mansion these days, so she was afraid that her little Jiu would not be able to take care of her.

After taking a comfortable bath, Li Yaonan was refreshed all over. After eating and doing some exercise, he went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Yaonan explained to Fu Lang, and went out to a teahouse.

After Zhang Qixian took the imperial examination, he relaxed. He had already arranged a banquet for pig friends and dog friends to taste poems. He went out early in the morning. Li Yaonan knew his temper and didn't say anything, just let him come back early, don't play It's too late, the capital is no better than Yangzhou, and the curfew is very strict at night.

When we arrived at a teahouse, even though it was still early, the teahouse was still buzzing with people. Now it seemed like a place where students tasted poems and made speeches. After the imperial examinations, many literati gathered.

"Brother Li, here." Lu Zhi'an stood upstairs and waved to him, beside him were several fellow examiners.

"Brother Lu." Li Yaonan cupped his hands in a bow.

Lu Zhian said with a smile: "These are some of my classmates. I have heard of Qingyang Layman's name for a long time. They will definitely come with me today. Don't blame me for forgetting Brother Li."

"It's okay, Brother Lu just call me Donglin!" Li Yaonan greeted each other with those Juren, as a sensitive person, he could easily see that three of these Juren came forward out of curiosity. Later, two other eyes flickered, the purpose of which was unknown.

After chatting for a while, Li Yaonan finally found out that Lu Zhian was originally a famous family in Jinling, and his ancestors had once been prime ministers, but it was a pity that he was in the previous dynasty, and he was also a famous treacherous prime minister. The Lu family has been lurking for nearly 200 years. Thanks to the sages and sages today, they can find the opportunity to start the imperial examination again.

Li Yaonan felt ashamed in his heart, the former prime minister has been down and down, what should he say.
