Chapter 140 The big exam is coming

As early as two months ago, Xing Tianjun sent a message to all parts of Wuchang Prefecture, informing the world that Xing Tianjun will conduct the first examination in Wuchang Mansion on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to select civil servants. Anyone who passes the examination can be taught according to the ability shown in the examination. Officers, you can be an official under the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army in the future.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused another uproar in various places. Scholars have always been inclined to the Xingtian Army or all kinds of rebels. It can be said that most people are hostile to them, because all kinds of rebels, including Xing Tianjun, are regarded as thieves, not orthodox, only the current court is Orthodox, at the same time, the family background of some scholars also determines their identity. It is impossible to stand on the same front with the Xing Tianjun and the Rebels. Most of them are officials or children of rich families, representing the interests of the upper class of society. After all, in this era, reading is not the right of all people. It costs a lot of money to study, and it also takes a lot of money to catch the exam. Without a financial foundation, you can't afford to read.

The Xingtian Army and the Rebel Army are based on the farmers and small craftsmen based on the lowest level, representing the interests of the people at the bottom. They are the enemy of the upper structure. Judging from their siege of the city and the property fields of the officials and gentry and the rich, the people in the upper structure are their enemies, so it is quite a The readers regard it as a thief, and they are against them at the root.

The reason why some scholars are used by the rebels is that these people are either scholars who can't pass the exam. They feel that they have no talent. They have learned a lot and read a lot of books, but they can't be used by the court, so they are restless and find another way out. They simply join Xing Tianjun or other rebels. In this regard, it is related. Some Ming scholars who defected to Jiannu are also representatives of them. In addition, some scholars were forcibly abhorted. In order to save their lives, they had to do it! In addition, when some scholars were in chaos, their families went bankrupt and could not make a living, so that they were forced to live. In order to find a meal, they served the Rebel Army or turned to build slaves. Only a very few people defected to the Rebel Army because they were not used to the violent conquest of the government and the imperial court.

Now Xing Tianjun has put out a signboard and set up a recruitment flag. This time, it is not recruiting soldiers, but to recruit a group of people to be officers of Xing Tianjun, so the matter seems a little intriguing.

In fact, since the beginning of last year, Xing Tianjun began to fight a public opinion war with the imperial court. Through the matter of building a slave army, Xing Tianjun has repeatedly issued various articles all over the country to expose and criticize some practices of the court. Although the court and the government have refuted this one by one, it also makes many people After understanding some of the practices of Xing Tianjun, at least in the matter of the Jiannu Army, although many people don't know the truth, more or less let many people begin to believe so much in the words of the court and the government. In this way, they added a lot of points for the Xing Tianjun, especially after Gao Qiqian was captured and surrendered to the Xing Tianjun. The embrage between many imperial emperors and members of the imperial court has caused a great blow to the reputation of the imperial court among all levels. Even if the imperial court and the government refuted this, it has made many people believe that this is true, which makes the court's approach seem a little hypocritical.

At the beginning of the year, when Xiao Xingtian was still leading his troops to fight against the Jiannu army in the area of Jingfu, the court suddenly sent troops to attack the territory of the Xing Tianjun. Zuo Liangyu also created a massacre in Nanyang. Xing Tianjun returned his army angrily, causing Shandong to be invaded by the Jiannu army and the Jinan government to be broken. These things have been spread by Xing Tianjun through various channels and channels, which has made many people scold the court for being bastards. At least Xing Tianjun and the brothers in the court fight, but Jiannu belongs to foreign bandits. Now Xing Tianjun is willing to temporarily put down his old grievances and help the court fight Jiannu. It's okay if you don't cooperate with the court. He also took the opportunity to drag Xing Tianjun's legs and copy other people's old nests. That's what's wrong with the court. This is good. Xing Tianjun was forced to return his division. The Jiannu army took the opportunity to enter Shandong and harmed a large number of Daming people. Of course, it also included a large number of families of gentry in Shandong. Therefore, even many scholars were despised by the court's practices.

In the past year, Xing Tianjun should have been completely enraged by the imperial court. Not only did he go south for more than half a year, but he occupied almost the whole Huguang, as well as part of Jiangxi. In the north, Shanxi was basically controlled by Xing Tianjun, and what about the imperial court? At this time, they showed their weakness. A branch of officers and soldiers were defeated under the front of the Xingtian Army, and another court officials surrendered the Xingtian Army. Even the deputy soldier of Changsha, Gao Doushu, joined the Xingtian Army. Xiao Xingtian, was appointed by the governor of Runing, and took office. Shaanxi general He Renlong was defeated and surrendered. The news of Tianjun was announced by Xing Tianjun in October, which caused a fierce shock. The vassal kings fell into the hands of Xing Tianjun. They were either killed or demoted to common people. However, in the face of the offensive of Xing Tianjun, the imperial court officials could not do anything. They were defeated again and again. Now Huguang has been lost, and Jiangxi has a day and night. If you don't, Nan Zhili will become the next target of Xing Tianjun. For people with a little geographical knowledge, they all know what will happen next.

If the Ming Dynasty can no longer recover the decline, then the Ming Dynasty can basically be said to be over! As soon as Nan Zhili was lost, Daming had no capital to fight against the Xingtian Army. As for the remaining provinces, they were not enough to fight against the Xingtian Army at all. The Daming Dynasty could only wait for the Xingtian Army to go north and destroy it.

At this time, Xing Tianjun suddenly announced that it was undoubtedly equivalent to leaving a blockbuster bomb among the people. Scholars from all over the country talked about it secretly. Some people cursed, some people kept silent, and some people thought about it secretly. In short, their performance was different.

In fact, now that Xing Tianjun has opened a scholar, it's really a little unspeakable. Xiao Tianjian has not been king so far, let alone announced the establishment of the National Dynasty. It is only said that he was an official for Xing Tianjun. What is this official? However, this is not a big impact. It is the pig who can also see that Xiao Xingtian is very clear at this time. He really has the ability and strength to win the world. Although he has not yet become king, his intention to seize the world is already obvious. No one will think that Xiao Tianjian will only force the present. The emperor abdicated and changed his surname to Zhu as the new emperor. He became Cao Cao and took the emperor to order the princes. Sooner or later, as long as he took the world, he would definitely ascend the throne as emperor.

So at this time, where to go is already something that many readers have begun to think about. Some readers who have a clear vision, so they immediately come to life. It's not too late. Now if you go to take the exam, it must be easier than in the future. Some, and many things of Xing Tianjun are not perfect. At present, he is eager to recruit officials and work for him, so it is very likely to be on the list. And once he can be on the list at this time, at least when Xiao Tianjian comes to the world, he can have the identity of the first dragon, and the worst is not to win. The list is at least equivalent to showing their attitude to Xing Tianjun. They are unwilling to be the enemy of Xing Tianjun, and it is also a good choice to use this as the amulet of their family in the future.

Of course, there are also risks in it. Once you go to take the exam, it is equivalent to completely tearing your face with the current court. There is no way back in the future. Once the court returns to the light in the future and destroys the Xing Tianjun, then those who dare to be the first to eat crabs will be very unlucky. Turn back. The court will definitely find them to settle accounts. At least it is impossible to run away from the charge of rebelling from the thief. It is cheap to arrest and ask for exile, and the probability of arresting the family will be quite high.

Therefore, if you don't participate in Xing Tianjun's opening of science and scholars in Wuchang Prefecture this time, a group of people are embarrassed. Many scholars are secretly at home, turning around the house, measuring the gains and losses. Some people bite the pen pole, some people turn around and grind the soles of the shoes in the room, and some people are anxious to get angry and have a bubble. There are all kinds of people who want to hang themselves.

However, in November, Wuchang Mansion began to usher in an endless stream of scholars. Most of these scholars were from the territory controlled by Xing Tianjun. Anyway, for them, at present, Xing Tianjun has controlled the place where their family is located, and they have also seen Xing Tianjun's Awesome, so it was easy to choose, and immediately many people began to rush to Wuchang Prefecture to take the exam.

Among them, there are also a small number of scholars whose families are not in the control area of Xing Tianjun. These people are obviously bold scholars. They are determined to bet on the treasure that Xing Tianjun can seize the world in the future, so they quietly went on the road and entered the area controlled by Xing Tianjun. After showing his identity, someone took him. They escorted them to Wuchang Mansion to log in their names of origin, and then placed them in and waited for the day of the exam to come.

Xiao Tianjian attaches great importance to the scholars who came to take the exam this time. In Wuchang Mansion, he chose several officials or gentry's mansions, cleaned up the rooms, provided them with free accommodation, and recruited a group of people to cook and do laundry for them and take care of their lives. Live, all food and accommodation are free, and a small amount of alcohol is also limited for them to drink every day. It can be said that what can be considered for them is considered for them. Such conditions will not be available when the Ming court examines.

By the beginning of December, more and more scholars began to pour into Wuchangfu City one after another. Xiao Tianjian even opened a barracks outside the city, allowing these early scholars to come to the barracks to observe the military appearance of the Xing Tian Army.

(Today, I thank you for the reward of the two brothers, the hot death and the unhappy coward!)
