The next morning, Ma Zhou rushed to the Ministry of Rites at dawn.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites had just been on duty. The officials always felt that Ma Zhou was weird and wanted to get angry. It was obvious that the other party was serving the subordinates and had a noble status, so they had to endure it and treat it diligently.

"Nine people?" The hall official looked at Ma Zhou in surprise.

This was the first day of the imperial examination. No one expected that the first person to submit a letter to recommend was the Erpi County man who had recently become famous. What a good guy, this is too cruel.

Ma Zhou said: "The court did not explicitly stipulate that nine people cannot be recommended."

"Yes, yes, yes." The hall official nodded awkwardly, and he wanted to send Zouma Zhou immediately.

"After sending a letter, the horse will serve and return, I will do it..."

"No, my benefactor has something to say, so you need to look at the roster included in the Ministry of Rites in person."

Officer: "..."

Speaking of this, the officials dared not be negligent and wanted to include them immediately. So they immediately became busy and asked someone to copy the list, stamped his own seal, and then began to seal it. Seeing that all the procedures were complete, Ma Zhou left.

…………

At noon, Cheng Yaojin lay on the rattan chair in the backyard with a comfortable face.

Cheng Chumo was also happily drinking tea.

Both father and son are in a good mood today.

Of course, the most important thing is... Today is a good day.

Standing in front of Cheng Yaojin was a scholar named Guo Zhengyi.

Guo Zheng looked at Cheng Yaojin with gratitude, and then gave a disciple gift to Cheng Yaojin: "My bet, are you in good health recently?"

"Okay, very good." Cheng Yaojin sighed, then looked at Guo Zhengyi: "Early in the morning, I had someone send your list to the Ministry of Rites. Haha, you are a scholar. I thought you were very talented. In this imperial examination, Your Majesty encouraged me to recommend talents. Humph, they all said that I, Cheng Yaojin, are a rough man, what do you know about this group of bastards? My Cheng family can also become a Jinshi so that those blind guys can know how powerful I am. Guo Zhengyi, if you are in high school, I, Cheng, recommend you, it is also a shame. Don't think that I am a warrior, but I have always like to deal with you scholars."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin felt happy and grinned and smiled at himself.

Guo Zhengyi is a poor family. When he arrived in the capital, he wanted to participate in the imperial examination and submitted a letter to him everywhere. Cheng Yaojin happened to be blamed by Li Shimin for only knowing how to play with guns and sticks. OK, then I, Cheng, also recommend a talent to open the eyes of all people in the world.

When Guo Zheng heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he was even more grateful and bowed to another disciple's courtesy: "If you are lucky enough to be recommended by the general, the student will be confused and it will be difficult to repay the situation."

"Haha..." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but touched his son's head happily. After stroking it, he turned his palm into a fist and knocked Cheng Chumo's back of the head. Cheng Chumo screamed.

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "It's a pity that my son is not good at doing well. If he can be as talented as you, he will be so proud. Please wait a moment, I'm afraid that many people who go to the list will come back."

It was a coincidence that at this moment, a chief of the Cheng Mansion came hurriedly. When Cheng Yaojin saw it, he laughed: "It's really like Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Cheng Jin, how about it, the Ministry of Rites..."

"General, it's not good, it's not good. I sent Mr. Guo's famous post to the Ministry of Rites. Who knew that the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the famous post, but said... Mr. Guo... Mr. Guo has entered the list to be tested, and someone has recommended it."

"What?" Cheng Yaojin was confused, then looked at Guo Zhengyi with a suspicious look.

Guo Zhengyi was also surprised, and was stared at Cheng Yaojin's eyes and felt terrified: "I...I...I...students are not...not..."

Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes: "Who recommended it?"

"Say it's a man in Erpi County?"

Cheng Jiejin bit his teeth and stomped his feet: "Erpi County man, where did this dog thing come from? I have chosen a lot of choices. I finally chose a useful scholar. How could he be the first to be a disciple? Is there any other kingly law? Why didn't the Ministry of Rites take care of it? It was just accomplice for the tiger."

"General." The visitor said with a sad face: "The Ministry of Rites has a first record and first serve, this... this..."

Cheng Yaojin still wants to scold him.

At this moment, Guo Zhengyi looked embarrassed. He thought his benefactor was General Cheng, but now a man from Erpi County suddenly appeared. He was in a very awkward situation. Seeing General Cheng seemingly getting angry, Guo Zhengyi hurriedly bowed: "General, the student still needs to study, say goodbye."

His ritual was completely different from the previous one. He just held the ritual of disciples, but now... he just held a fist.

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a moment.

Cheng Chumo, who was beside him, was indignant: "Dad, it's too much to deceive others. This is too much to deceive others. My son will go to the Erpi."

Cheng Yaojin woke up and slapped Cheng Chumo with his backhand.

With a snap, Cheng Yaojin roared: "Look for it, you find a bird, you find him, his Chen family is dependent on you, like a fly, maybe Wei Zheng is going to impeach you, how can I live in the future? Get out of here!"

Cheng Chumo was beaten, like a dead dog being kicked, whining, and she lowered her head and dared not make any noise.

He still couldn't understand. The Cheng family was also famous and had deep trust from His Majesty and had prestige in the army. Why did he be afraid of a small Chen family?

...

puff……

Iiyama Prefecture Duke's Mansion.

At this time, Hao Xianggui, the Duke of Iiyama Prefecture, held a list in his hand, and then spit out an old blood, directly spraying it on the list.

Hao Xianggui's chest was undulating, his eyes widened, and he looked at the Directory of the Ministry of Rites in disbelief. His eyes were covered with bloodshot. He felt that his eyes were dark and his body was shaking.

When the Hao family saw it, they were shocked: "Alang, Alang..."

Hao Xianggui was once the governor of Chuzhou and was also considered a rank of chief officials. Because of his military merits, he also obtained the title of county duke. Of course, this is not the point.

The point is... his son Hao Chujun is about to participate in the imperial examination.

During this imperial examination, the court issued a regular edict, requiring all prefectures to recommend the sons to go to Beijing for the examination, and at the same time, officials were encouraged to recommend the talents for the examination.

Originally, the Hao family was calm and recommended. My Hao family recommended myself, so there was no need to ask for a higher school like the poor family.

After all... the Hao family has official positions and titles.

But... looking at the list sent by the Ministry of Rites, Hao Xianggui was confused. He really couldn't understand why his son... was recommended by others... the surname Chen...

Seeing this...

Hao Xianggui, who had finally woken up a little more, suddenly regained his infinite vitality in his family's confused eyes. He almost jumped up, then beat his chest and fell to his feet, and cursed: "Mengjin Chen's nest of defeated dogs is really shameless and shameless. What should I do with my son's imperial examination? What are they joining in the fun..."

After scolding this, Hao Xianggui seemed to be exhausted, panting like a bellows, but he was confused: "Oh... this is not a human being. Don't stop me. I'll go and chop that little thief Chen, I have to chop it up."

His son stood there blankly, looking confused.

In fact... Hao Xianggui's son Hao Chujun still doesn't understand what he has to do with the Chen family. Are you very familiar with? Have you ever seen him? Why did he recommend me?

Everyone stopped Hao Xianggui, and Hao Xianggui cursed: "This is also something that people do? He, Chen, is just a prodigal dog, a donkey and a dog barking, and only a few county men are born in the family... I am a county official, and the Hao family is not dead yet..."

Seeing that his father was getting more and more ugly, Hao Chujun hurriedly said: "Sir, stop scolding, it's not nice to say it. After all, they recommended their son. If they scolded him again, it would seem that his son would not know how to repay his kindness. If he could be lucky enough to be in high school in the future, he would be afraid that he would not be able to tolerate his career..."

Hao Xianggui fainted again after hearing this.

This is what he is afraid of...
