Chapter 61

Speaking of the origin of the child prodigy test, we have to trace back to the previous dynasty. At that time, the world was uncertain. Emperor Taizu was just a rebel leader. Unfortunately, he was besieged by the army of the previous dynasty in a battle and was about to starve to death. At this time, the son of a manu came forward and lied that he was the son of emperor Taizu. He used the tactic of removing the tiger from the mountain to attract the pursuers.

Emperor Taizu fled to Yumen pass in the night. When he came back to rescue Xiao en Gong after enriching his military strength, Xiao en Gong died bravely.

That year, Xiao en Gong was 12 years old.

In memory of him, Emperor Taizu set up a three-year child prodigy test after unifying the country. Taking the age at the time of his death as the upper limit, the imperial examination focused on the word "Wen", while the child prodigy test focused on the word "Zhi".

"Since the establishment of the child prodigy test, many talents have been selected for the imperial court. For example, the Prime Minister of the Daliang Dynasty, his royal highness King Yin and general DORO are all the top candidates of the child prodigy test in the past dynasties." The old scholar said, showing a look of reverence.

Qiao Wei muttered: "originally this dynasty is called Daliang Dynasty..."

"What did you say, Little Joe?" The old scholar didn't hear clearly.

Qiao Wei's eyes flashed and said with a smile: "I said You just talked about so many people, who is the best? "

The old scholar stroked his beard and said, "in terms of talent, it belongs to the prime minister. He knows a thousand words at one year old, recites a hundred poems at three years old, knows the past and the present at five years old, and tops the list at seven years old. He is young and progressive, well-informed, and proficient in languages of various countries. He is really the first prodigy of the Liang Dynasty."

"Oh, my God, that's great!" Qiao Wei was shocked.

The old scholar said, "otherwise, how could you become prime minister at a young age? But I don't think Jing Yun is bad either. A few days ago, I taught him some Sanskrit, and he learned all of it. I still have great confidence in Jing Yun. If I don't say the top ten, the top 100 will be OK. "

Qiao Wei's eyes moved: "top 100 Do you have any silver rewards? "

"The top ten."

Qiao Wei turned her head and looked at Jing Yun. She said solemnly, "except for ten, they are shameful."

Jing Yun nodded.

Old scholar

The next day, Qiao Wei took her children to Beijing to sign up, along with Cuiyun's younger brother a Sheng.

Although a Sheng was not admitted as a scholar, he was the only 10-year-old boy in ten li and eight townships. The Zhao family still had high hopes for him. He was under a lot of pressure and trembled when he sat in the carriage.

Qiao Wei patted him on the shoulder: "just a name, don't be too nervous."

"Well." Ah Sheng nodded and squeezed his hand tightly to keep himself from looking so nervous.

In contrast, Jing Yun seems to be a lot more calm, the food, the sleep, the tease Xiaobai tease Xiaobai.

This is Qiao Wei's second visit to the capital. I don't know if it's because of the child prodigy. It's a lot busier than the new year's day. The streets are crowded with cars, shops are lined with shops, and pedestrians are streaming. The voices of peddlers and peddlers are ringing in her ears. It's refreshing to hear.

Wang Shu lifted the curtain: "Wow! How big the capital is! So many people

Last time I came to Beijing, both of them were ill. They didn't care to appreciate the local conditions and customs here. Now they are all alive. Naturally, everything is fresh.

Qiao Wei finds out that the nearest registration point is in Chang'an Street, not far from Luo Yongnian's Tiepu. If it ends early, she can go to see Luo Yongnian.

Chang'an Street is full of people. The carriage can't get in. Today, Chen Dadao is not in the town. It's a new gang member named Xiaowu who drives the carriage.

Qiaowei let xiaowujiang carriage stop in the alley, and she took three children to walk past.

The registration point was outside a study. At this time, the line was full of people, but there were officers and soldiers sitting down, which was in good order.

Qiao Wei first went to the registration table to get the right card. When she got the second and the third, the official was impatient: "what's the matter? Isn't it for you? "

Qiao Wei touched Jingyun's little head and said, "I'll take part."

The official looked at the twins, who were not as high as the table, and hissed What do you think of as fun? "

Jingyun and Wangshu blink and look at their mother.

Qiao Wei look light way: "there is a minimum can not be less than a few years old?"

“……”

No.

"Did you say that the girl doll couldn't take part?"

“……”

Neither.

But It's not reasonable. Who let the girl do this? And they look like five years old, don't they? It's from the countryside again. If it's a famous family, it's OK. Maybe you can read a few words. The country dolls don't care. They want money anyway!

"One or two silver for one person." The official threw the right card to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei takes out three Liang silver and hands it to the official.

The official pointed to the long line on the right: "go there and line up and arrange the examination room."

Qiao Wei glanced a little, no less than 100 people, just afraid to row until the afternoon: "are you hungry?"

Jing Yun and a Sheng bear not to say, Wang Shu and Xiao Bai nod their heads together!

Qiao Wei a smile: "that first eats the thing, later comes in line." Anyway, I got the right card today. I'm sure I can get it.Qiao Wei took the children to find Xiaowu. As soon as she got to the street, she saw that the crowd around her was like a tide. Hula, she retreated!

The sound of the horse's hooves came from far and near. The man on the horse waved his whip and drove the people on the street to both sides.

Qiao Wei is wondering what's going on, and see a team of officers and men holding the "avoid" card coming forward.

Behind the officers and soldiers, there was a four horse red carriage with gilded roof and jade bead curtain. The sun shone on it, shining brilliantly and luxurious.

"It's the honor guard of King Yin!"

I don't know who howled in the crowd. People began to make a commotion and looked at the carriage. In the crowd, a seven or eight year old boy fell out of the crowd and fell into the street!

Seeing that the man is about to step on the child's body, Qiao Wei gives the two children to a Sheng, pounces on him, hugs him and rolls across the street!

The man on the horse's back didn't even look at them. They went away!

How can there be such a person? Almost trampled a child to death without dismounting to see the situation?

It seems that the master is not a good thing to cultivate such a slave!

The guard of honor passed by. When the carriage passed by Qiao Wei's side, a ingot of gold suddenly dropped from the curtain and fell at Qiao Wei's feet.

Qiao Wei eyes a cold, kick gold back to the carriage! There was a clatter in the car. It seemed that something was broken.

The accompanying guard immediately drew out his sword!

Eunuch Liu in the car opened the curtain and had a look. He came to the Lord three years ago. She had never seen the woman before, but he recognized the child: "Lord, the child is the little prince of the house of uncle."

King Yin lightly compared a gesture.

Eunuch Liu said to the guard, "forget it!"

The guard took up the sword.

Qiao Wei coldly glanced at each other and patted off the dust on the child: "little guy, are you ok?"

The king of Yin's eyes lit up, and the voice -

came out
