The government is busy with everything.

"Kong Ming, are you really not taking the imperial examination? Regardless of your young age, as long as your husband recommends you, you still have a chance." Xu Shu said.

"No no, do you understand Zang Zhuo?" Zhuge Liang smiled, as if he didn't care at all.

Now he is still a 13-year-old boy, so he plans to study with Mr. Sima Hui for a few more years.

Being an official in his teens is too shocking.

Moreover, Sima Hui has analyzed that Zhuge Liang has a very small chance of ranking among the top in the imperial examination.It's not that he has no talent, but that the imperial examination has just been established, and a 13-year-old boy's ranking is too high, which will lead to the lack of credibility of the imperial examination.

Even if Liu Ke promotes talents eclecticly, he will take this aspect into consideration.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang will be elected, but the ranking cannot be too high.How could he, who was so proud and arrogant, accept it? He simply settled down for a few years and waited for the imperial examination to stabilize.

Of course, learning is the main thing.

No matter what Xu Shu said, Zhuge Liang refused to agree, so he had to give up.

Since Xu Shu abandoned martial arts and went to literature, he has studied Confucian classics hard, and now he has achieved something, so he will not back down, nor can he wait any longer.

Yangzhou crisis, but he can only watch it, it's so maddening.Therefore, he must be an official!

"Yuan Zhi, why pull Kong Ming? Wouldn't it be a pleasure for the two of us to win the first prize and second place?"

The speaker was a Confucian student named Cui Zhouping, who was a good friend of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang.

"Give it to you, I don't mind!" Zhuge Liang snorted coldly, he was the youngest present, but old-fashioned.

"Isn't it rare? At least we are the first people who passed the imperial examination. When you see us, you have to call us seniors." Cui Zhouping joked.

"Then you have to work hard, don't meet you in the examination room two or three years later." Zhuge Liang sarcastically said.

"Two or three years? I'm afraid I've already been an examiner." Cui Zhouping laughed.

The three chatted and belched, completely ignoring the imperial examination.Opening your mouth is either first or second, and it would be embarrassing to be third.

Also preparing for the exam is Liu Xian, who has been serving as an attendant by Liu Ke's side for a long time.

But, how could it be possible to be a servant all the time?

Therefore, this imperial examination is his opportunity.He has been with Liu Ke for a while, but he never let go of his homework.It is not difficult to pass the exam, but the nouns are difficult to say.

Zhou Buyi was on the sidelines chirping and urging, saying: "Uncle, you have to work hard, otherwise I will lose face."

Liu Xian couldn't help laughing, and vowed: "With the kindness of the Marquis of Dongyang, even if I hand in a blank paper, I can still pass the exam."

"Mister will definitely give you a slap on the head." Zhou Buyi danced.

"Don't talk about me, you have to handle your own affairs well." Liu Xianruo pointed out.

Of course Zhou Buyi knew that Liu Xian was talking about the cold war between him and Cao Pi, and he didn't pretend not to hear it, but he was a little unhappy and said, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

Still a child at heart.

"The Marquis of Dongyang didn't teach you a lesson because he didn't have time. If you're wrong, you should think about it yourself. Even if you insist that you are right, but you only have this one friend, shouldn't you think more about him?" Liu Xian said earnestly. .

Zhou Buyi turned his head and left.

Liu Xian shook his head and continued to review.

There is another person who is also studying hard, and that is Wang Can.

Wang Can's literary skills are definitely sufficient, but he has a fatal flaw, that is arithmetic.

Mathematics does not affect the middle school, but it will affect the ranking.

For example, if everyone's articles are equally good, they will be counted as credits.And once the examiners who marked the papers had a dispute and couldn't make up their minds when ranking, they would just look at the math results.

Examiner A: This paper can be ranked first!

Examiner B: I am the real big cow.

Examiner C: Your papers are only excellent, look at mine.

Okay, stop arguing, everyone, let's count the credits.

Therefore, if Wang Can wants to have a high ranking, he must write wonderful articles.

But when everyone doesn't know the topic, who has absolute confidence?

Math is very important.

In the past two years, Wang Can has made up a lot of bad luck. He has already gained a thorough understanding of arithmetic, but it is far from enough for geniuses.

In order to wait for the students newly recommended by the prefect to come to Dongyang, the imperial examination was postponed for three days.

During this period, the Allied Forces did not move at all, insisting on their sticky philosophy.

Only Cao Cao occasionally sent people to fight in Runan, and there was no large-scale siege.

That being the case, Liu Ke no longer struggled, and carried the imperial examination to the end.

Chapter 260 IX Imperial Examination
