Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Even in the old Song Dynasty, only three or four hundred people were selected."

"The old dynasty suffered from the problem of redundant officials,"

"Yet the number of successful candidates in the imperial examinations kept increasing,"

"The new Ming Dynasty learned its lesson."

"That makes sense," Li Yi nodded.

"I won! I won..."

In the crowd,

People were already cheering and shouting.

The palace examination has not yet been held.

The current ranking doesn't count.

However, it does have some reference value.

Officials or wealthy businessmen with a broader vision,

They won't be looking for a son-in-law on the bottom list.

But those small and medium-sized businessmen

However, he was very self-aware.

They specifically targeted those with low rankings.

"Is my husband married?"

"My daughter is sixteen years old, gentle and virtuous..."

"My family owns several shops in Tokyo,"

"My eldest son has been transferred to a post as a prefectural official."

“…”

Min Anguo stood under the list, overjoyed.

He ranked second on the last list of the Ministry of Rites examination.

He is also the second person from the Min family to pass the imperial examination in recent decades.

Uncle Min Zishun had a past relationship with the emperor.

Now, another member of the family has passed the imperial examination.

The Min family of Yangzhou is destined for great prosperity!

Lists were posted one by one.

The top list has finally been made public.

"First place in the Ministry of Rites examination,"

"Li Tong from Jianpu County, Nan Jian Prefecture!"

The busybodies shouted loudly,

He then stood on tiptoe and looked around.

Where is Minister Li?

Where is Minister Li?

Li Tong didn't even look at the list.

Studying calculus at the inn.

He knew he was sure to win this time.

Li Yi cupped his hands in congratulations: "Congratulations, Brother Bangheng."

"Happy together, rejoice together."

Hu Quan returned the greeting.

The two of them,

Hu Quan came in second place.

Li Yi came in seventh place.

The two brothers, Li Gongmao and Li Gongjian,

They all stood happily below the list at that moment.

Li Gongmao ranked fifth.

Li Gongjian ranked 174th.

The Li family, who had been silent for thirty years,

They're back now!

Due to the special nature of the exam content

Several people from Nan Jianzhou made the list this time.

Besides Chen Yuan's nephew, Li Tong,

There were also Chen Yuan's disciples, such as Deng Zuo.

Many people from Hanzhong and Kaifeng also passed the imperial examinations.

They all had systematic training in mathematics and physics.

Among the top ten,

Three from Fujian, three from Sichuan

Two from Jiangxi, one from the capital region, and one from Huainan.

(Wang Dabao, from Guangdong, was classified as a candidate from Kaifeng this time.)

Wang Dabao looked up at the list.

He was surprisingly ranked third.

Chapter 1856 Southern Wilderness

Back in my hometown,

It's time to repair the ancestral hall!

He is indeed a descendant of the Sage King of Min.

However, it was a branch that migrated to Chaozhou.

Moreover, it's a branch of a branch.

Although his family is very wealthy from their business.

However, no Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) has ever emerged from this group.

This time, he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

Once the palace examination results are released,

It's time to write home.

There are ample reasons to open a separate ancestral hall.

From this day forward, may our sons and grandsons,

They can all travel the world using the name of the hall he founded.

He had already thought of the name for the ancestral hall.

Let's call them "Wang Family of Liugang"!

This is similar to founding a new school of thought.

This was another kind of glory for scholars in ancient times.

It is just as fulfilling as leaving a mark on history.

.....

Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Yuan handed over an official document.

"Most of the prefectures and counties in Guangdong have already been pacified by the proclamation."

"But several counties were occupied by peasant armies,"

"Zhang Shun dispatched troops to Guangzhou to oversee the situation,"

"Those officials in charge of Guangdong should all be executed."

"He has no right to make the decision,"

He submitted a memorial requesting instructions from the imperial court.

Zhao Yuan had already received Zhang Shun's letter.

He pretended to look at the official document and said...

"Take him back to the capital and execute him,"

"So as not to alarm local officials."

The situation in Guangdong,

It was utterly ridiculous and utterly depraved.

First, the transport commissioner Zheng Liang returned to the capital to report on his duties.

He was reported for embezzlement, bribery, and excessive extortion.

They used the guise of transporting precious stones to line their own pockets.

At that time, Emperor Huizong of Song had not yet fled Bianjing (Kaifeng).

Upon hearing that his tribute of precious stones had been embezzled,

Zheng Liang was immediately arrested and imprisoned for interrogation.

Who knew that the day after Zheng Liang was imprisoned,

He died directly in Dali Temple prison.

Emperor Huizong of Song was furious.

An imperial censor was dispatched to Guangzhou to investigate—Zheng Liang had served as an official in Guangdong for a long time.

I decided to settle down in Guangzhou.

Just then, the Jin army marched south.

Zhao Yuan went north.

Emperor Huizong of Song was so frightened that he fled.

Censor Chen Shu was ordered to investigate the case.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the country,

The home of Zheng Liang, who died under mysterious circumstances, was searched.

He also embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars of his property.

Then, Chen Shu also died in Guangzhou!

Guangdong Transport Commissioner Yin Zhongchen and Deputy Commissioner Xu Geng,

They conspired to embezzle this huge sum of money.

Ren Xiaokai, the judge, didn't gain much benefit.

When Zhang Shun divided his troops to occupy Guangzhou
