Gu Changming traveled through time. The bad news is that he became a fifth-class mountain citizen with the lowest status.
In this strict class dynasty, the mountain people are untouchables with unknown origins. Want to take the imperial examination? Even the most basic "mutual guarantee" cannot be achieved! Those arrogant and proud scholars outside the mountains were afraid that he would be ruined by cheating. Seeing him was like seeing the god of plague. They even ridiculed him: "A village man in the mountains also wants to be an official? If you can find a guarantor, I will swallow the pen!"
The good news is that Gu Changming just saved the county magistrate who was encountering bandits.
The county magistrate cried bitterly: "Thank you so much, brave man. What reward do you want? Gold, silver and treasures are all you can ask for!"
Gu Changming focused on the county magistrate: "Sir, I heard that as your son-in-law, if the county magistrate is your guarantee, he will be able to pass the scientific examination?"
County magistrate:? ? ? I asked you to ask for money, but are you thinking about my cabbage and black gauze hat? !
After successfully qualifying for the exam, everyone laughed at Gu Changming because he couldn't even memorize the Analects of Confucius and was treated like cannon fodder when he entered the exam room.
But Gu Changming laughed - because in this dynasty, the imperial examination did not test the dictation of classics and rigid poems, but only tested essays, essays, and policy essays!
"Present papers, write official documents, and do modern structured policy questions? Sorry, I am the ancestor!"
From the head of the county examination to the top candidate in the palace examination, Gu Changming acted sluttishly all the way. The scholarly family who once despised his status could only stand outside the Jinluan Palace and look up to this "fifth-class mountain man" who was so powerful that he dominated the world!
