There is such a person, a word do not know, even his own name will not write, he went to the capital to catch up with the examination. Hey, to there also won, not only in, and rise to rise ah, but also into the cabinet to worship the prime minister, you say this is not nonsense? There is no such thing. Of course now is not this thing, now you can not do things for the people, the people do not elect you ah! I am talking about the Ming Dynasty. Because in that society, it didn't matter whether you were talented or not, learned or not, did you have money or not? If you had money, you could become an official, donate an official. If you had money, you could become an official and donate money to become an official. If you had power, you could become an official. There is no money and no power, but when it comes to it, with this fake power, you can also be an official, what do you mean by "fake power" ah, it is because in that society ah, those who do the official, are pregnant with a stomach of ghosts, are this pat on the back, suspicious, you are afraid of me, I'm afraid of you, afraid of each other, there is a contradiction here. This has led to a lot of ridiculous things. I'm talking about this today.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tianqi years which, Shandong Linqing state has a wealth advocate million, he has a son, called Zhang Hao Gu, thirty years old, this guy, from childhood is pampered, and did not read books. Do not know the words, even their own names can not write up, every day, it is fox friends ah, cage frame bird, teahouse restaurant, eat, drink and play on this. So everyone respects him when they see him, "Oh, Young Master!" The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that.

One such day, Zhang Hao Gu went to the street, a look around a circle of people, a group of people came in, is a face. This is the face of the said here, a look: yo, recognize. This is not Zhang million family that dog less well, there is a lot of money, this to flatter him a couple of words, at least have to get a couple of silver, flatter him. A look at Zhang Hao Gu, pretending, "Oops! This man, your eyebrows with color, two eyes have God it, can be a pillar of the country's talent, this if the Beijing examination, will be able to win." If it were anyone else, I would have given him a slap in the face! I'm going to the capital to take the examination? I don't know a word, how can I take the exam? But Zhang Hao Gu, he didn't think about it. What did he think? Our family has plenty of money. It's easy to become an official. He was happy! "Oh? If I go to the capital now, will I be able to win?" "I guarantee that you will win the first three places, after you win, I will drink your wedding wine." "Okay, I'll give you two taels of silver!" This gave the man two taels of silver.

Go to your home, pack your bags and parcels, and go to the capital to catch the examination. You don't want to go by yourself? Besides this rush test you have to first countryside test, Shandong Linqing State countryside test, countryside test finished provincial test, to this Shandong Jinan Province, provincial test finished to enter the capital it, to Beijing called the test ah. He this separated by two hands, froze on Beijing. The family has plenty of money, more gold, less silver, rode a high horse, ran to Beijing.

But he was late on the day he left, rushed to Beijing ah, the last day of the examination. The first day of the exam, the last day of the exam, not to mention into the examination room, to Beijing, he could not even enter the Beijing city gates, in the middle of the night in the third day, are closed to the city! Coincidentally, he ran into the Xizhimen Gate in the middle of the night. Hey, just in time for Xizhimen, into the water car. This is the system of the Ming and Qing emperors, he sits in Beijing, he has to drink the water from the Yuchuan Mountain in the west of Beijing, and in the middle of the night, he lets the people get water to the city, and he has to drink the same day's water. When Zhang Hao Gu arrived here, he was driving this water cart. The city guards opened the gates from afar and let the water wagon in. No one else would dare to do that. Zhang Hao Gu he does not understand, riding a horse and followed the back of the waterwheel to go inside.

The city officials did not dare to ask him, intending that he would escort the waterwheel for the Emperor's family. The first time I saw him, I was able to get him to come in.

The city officials did not dare to ask him about the water cart, which was intended for the Emperor's family. Not how to hit the chessboard street ah, a look at it, across the street came a group of people, the head of two gas death wind lamps, in the middle of a high horse, who ah? Nine thousand years old Wei Zhongxian check the street. Zhang Hao Gu riding this horse, a look at so many people, a look at the light, the horse to be alarmed. He did not hold on to the reins, so he had to! He was holding Wei Zhongxian's horse! Wei Zhongxian? What's wrong with that? That's the Emperor's favorite eunuch during the Ming Dynasty's Tianqi period, he was in charge of life and death, so if he bumped into his horse one day, don't ask! Kill. First decapitate, have the power of life and death. Not today. What's wrong? Wei Zhongxian there how so good ah, today he was happy, want to ask him, what is so busy? This ask line, "cough, this kid ah, black in the middle of the night, you break what funeral ah!" Zhang Hao Gu also did not know that he is nine thousand years old ah, playing home to speak habitually! "Ah, what do you care? I have urgent business." "Yo! Monkey Huizi, really cross ah! What's your emergency in the middle of the night?" "I came from Shantung to take the exam here, and I can't get into the exam room late. If I can't get into the examination center, I'll miss my top three places." "Ah? You know you can win the top three? Do you have the knowledge? Are you sure?" "Of course! If you're not sure, why would you come all the way here?" "That's not good enough. Now that the test center is closed, you can't get in." "Then why don't I break down the door?" I've never heard of breaking down the door of a test center.

He said so, Wei Zhongxian so think, how? He will know that he can win the first three places? I'm not sure if he's a good person, but he's a good person. No, I don't think so! This is hit my horse la, the idea to run, can not let him go! "Come on! Go on! Send this person into the examination room, take me a business card." Wei Zhongxian's meaning is in the end to see if you have so much knowledge, but Wei Zhongxian also asshole it, you want to see his learning let him go by himself, he went there also can not be ah, he gave to take the business card to send, the examination room dare not be in it? I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that, but I'm sure you'll be able to.

To the inside, so a piece of delivery. The two examiners took a look, how? Nine thousand years old Wei Zhongxian, sent people in the middle of the night. Alas, the two examiners in the middle of the night are up, the two people sit here a study: "Alas, brother year! Nine thousand years old in the middle of the night to send people, this must be nine thousand years old pro-branch near faction ah, this we have to accept to stay ah." He said, "No, Brother Nian. We've got a full house here!" "Hey, we have to find a way! It doesn't matter if the numbered rooms are full, we can make do with the two of us. I'll stay in your room and let him stay here." Good! In the middle of the night, the big main exam vacate the room to move, the house to vacate it.

So he came in, and the two examiners studied again. "Brother Nian, we have to give him a question." This one said, "How can we do that? This game we do not know what books he studied ah, back to him to write up, can not win, this does not offend the Nine Thousand Years old it?" "Then what should we do?" "What should we do? There's some paper here, so why don't we just do it? I'll come up with the questions, I'll say them, and you write them!"
