The six kingdoms were destroyed and the situation became turbulent.
The people all thought that life would become even harder, but they never imagined that the Dajing Army was maintaining order in the borders of various countries.
All the robbers and bandits who had been harassing the people for years were wiped out.
When the people saw the Dajing army setting up camp, their prejudices gradually faded away.
A general named Huo Bei, with a strange face, has a deeply rooted image in the hearts of the people.
In order to ward off disasters and seek blessings, many people put up pictures of General Huo Bei holding a sharp blade on their doors.
Over time, it became popular.
Xiao Jingzhou gave civil and military officials two months to prepare for the exam.
People from all over the country who wanted to take part in the imperial examination also had a month to travel to the capital.
The capital city of Dajing is located in the center of all countries. Even for candidates from the border areas, it is more than enough for them to reach the capital in one month.
...
...
The whole country was selecting talents, and Xiao Jingzhou ordered that all the travel expenses and food expenses of the students who went to Beijing to take the exam would be covered.
The prerequisite is that you need to take a school exam locally to be eligible to take the exam in Beijing.
This is true for all civil and military officials in the capital.
Within a month, the number of people eligible to take the imperial examinations in Beijing dropped by more than half.
examination room.
Civil and military officials sat in the cubicle, waiting for their test papers.
Soon, Xiao Jingzhou came to supervise the exam in person.
The officials were all sweating with fear, and the students all leaned forward, wanting to catch a glimpse of the current emperor, thus fulfilling their dream of meeting the emperor.
Lu Chen brought the 'Little Bee' (loudspeaker) and said: "All candidates, prepare for the exam.
Please write your number, name and place of origin on the answer sheet. ”
"No marks are allowed on the answer sheet. Those who violate this rule will be disqualified from taking the exam and will never be hired again."
When the officials and students received the test papers, they found that they were as white as snow and the handwriting on them was very strange and unusually neat.
As for the place to write the name, it is actually in the corner and needs to be written horizontally.
Candidates who are ready to write will start writing after reading the questions carefully.
Some people who want to please others can only sigh while holding the answer sheet.
The Dajing expedition lasted a total of nine days and six nights. Xiao Jingzhou selected difficult questions, but the time was shortened to five days and three nights.
Many officials who were good for nothing and only showed off their abilities left the examination hall early.
On the contrary, the poor candidates walked out of the examination room in high spirits and had infinite imagination about their future life.
The candidates walked out of the examination room, some were smiling, some were dejected.
As early as two months ago, Xiao Jingzhou selected famous scholars from the seven countries to mark the papers for the candidates from their respective countries.
The sealed test papers must be handed over to great Confucian scholars to ensure fairness and justice.
There were many students coming to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. Even after the advance screening, there were more than two thousand students from the seven countries combined.
The seven countries were not mutually intelligible, so it took a lot of time to mark each other's papers.
It took a full month to mark the papers and select the final top three.
During the palace examination, Xiao Jingzhou sat high on the dragon throne, looking down at the three princes.
Yan Gang, the Censor of Dajing, Chen Lan, the Lieutenant General of Dajing, and Qi Ming, a candidate from Beiliang who failed the exam many times.
When Xiao Jingzhou saw his acquaintance, a hint of satisfaction appeared between his eyebrows.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "Pass on my order to appoint Yan Gang as the Prime Minister of Dajing.
Feng Chenlan was appointed as the Imperial Censor.
Qi Ming was appointed Chief Censor. ”
"From now on, the three of you must support each other and serve the country, so as to live up to my high expectations."
The three of them knelt down together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "This imperial examination is very inconvenient."
"Just the words alone are enough to make people spend a lot of effort."
"Therefore, I have made a decision to unify the seven languages."
"In addition, I will also implement new policies to eliminate the chronic problems in the court, reduce taxes for the people, and transfer water from the south to the north to reduce disasters."
"The burden on your shoulders is not light!"
The three said: "We will not let your majesty down!"
After the three of them left the hall, Xiao Jingzhou hurriedly asked Lu Chen: "What time is it?"
Lu Chen glanced at the watch on his wrist and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's almost 12 o'clock."
Xiao Jingzhou thought to himself: It's over.
He stood up in a hurry and said as he walked, "I am going to go find the gods. We can talk tomorrow if there is anything else."
Lu Chen nodded seriously, but before he could say anything, he saw Xiao Jingzhou disappear out of thin air.
Lu Chen: “???” No need for a wooden bowl now?
Xiao Jingzhou entered the mind space. He changed into a suit and put on a wig.
He stood in front of the mirror and checked carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong before pushing open the door to the space and arriving in the 21st century.
Xiao Jingzhou returned to the villa. He skillfully took out his mobile phone, called a taxi for himself, and drove straight to the address Jiang Zhenyu sent him.
Seeing that time was running out, Xiao Jingzhou kept reminding the driver to drive faster.
The driver had been driving for half a day, his stomach was empty, and he felt a little resentful.
He wanted to retort, but found that Xiao Jingzhou was dressed in a suit and tie, with an anxious look on his face.
The driver asked, "Are you trying to rob a bride?"
Xiao Jingzhou was stunned for a moment, and for some reason he felt that the driver could drive faster.
"Um."
The driver whistled: "Hold on tight, I'll show you the skills of Lingyun City's best drivers, I guarantee you'll get the girl."
The car slowly stopped and the driver said, "I won't wait for you. It's too risky to kidnap the bride. If someone remembers the license plate number, I won't have any business."
After that, the driver did not forget to say: "Brother, I wish you good luck."
Xiao Jingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and watched the driver leave.
When he arrived at Qihuaxuan, he happened to witness the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Jiang Zhenyu held the ribbon in one hand and the golden scissors in the other, and cut the ribbon for Qi Huaxuan amid the sound of salutes and applause.
Xiao Jingzhou saw an unprecedented smile on her face, confident, dazzling, radiating infinite light and charm.
Countless adjectives flashed through his mind, but none of them could accurately describe Jiang Zhenyu at this moment.
Jiang Zhenyu invited everyone in. Su Hang touched her shoulder and reminded her, "Your boyfriend is here."
When she was cutting the ribbon, she saw Xiao Jingzhou. There was nothing she could do about it because he was so tall and stood out from the crowd.
Jiang Zhenyu curled her lips and said, "Then Senior Brother, please help me greet people today."
Su Hang made an OK gesture and immediately stepped forward to greet the guests.
"Mr. Chen, Uncle Hai, Teacher Qu."
"Come in quickly, Junior Sister has prepared some good tea early in the morning and is looking forward to your coming."
Jiang Zhenyu exchanged a few words with the three of them. Looking at today's situation, Old Chen knew that Jiang Zhenyu would be very busy, so he didn't waste too much time and walked inside.
Xiao Jingzhou approached her and nodded to Su Hang.
Su Hang immediately understood: "Junior sister, I'll go in and greet them first, come over when you're done."
Before leaving, Su Hang said, "It doesn't matter if you can't finish your work. After all, a short absence is better than a new marriage."
Jiang Zhenyu glared at him unhappily, and Su Hang walked away in a sly manner.
Xu Yan and He Tu arrived at the same time, which surprised Jiang Zhenyu.
Before she could ask what was going on, she heard Xu Yan glance at Xiao Jingzhou and said, "Boyfriend?"
Jiang Zhenyu nodded obediently.
Xu Yan said to Xiao Jingzhou: "I have received the gift and appreciate your kindness. It is too valuable, I will have someone send it over another day."
Xiao Jingzhou said: "These things are for Yu'er's relatives and friends. Since you are Yu'er's senior sister, you should take good care of her."
"If you are worried, I will separate from her, and it will not be too late for you to return me."
Having said that, Xu Yan didn't know what to say.
She stared at Xiao Jingzhou for a long time and found that his eyes were sincere and did not seem fake.
Compared to Jiang Xun's secret calculations, Xiao Jingzhou was more frank.
Xu Yan patted Jiang Zhenyu's arm and said, "You have a good eye this time. Remember to send me an invitation when you get married."
"I will give you a big gift in return."
Jiang Zhenyu and Xiao Jingzhou looked at each other and smiled silently.
He Tu said: "Congratulations, Junior Sister, on opening your business. Among Master's disciples, you are the only one who has truly inherited Master's legacy and established a firm foothold in the lacquerware industry."
“Become the inheritor of lacquerware craftsmanship.”
“The lacquer box you restored was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and despite what Han Zhenzhen had done, you were able to restore it to its original state in a short period of time. You are highly regarded in the industry.
Museums all over the country are asking about you and want me to be their introducer. ”
Jiang Zhenyu smiled and said, "It was all thanks to Second Senior Brother's recommendation."
"Restoring cultural relics and promoting lacquerware craftsmanship has always been my master's dream and what I have always wanted to do."
"If I can help, I will."
