Chapter 254 Gold List Title (one more)
The emperor is reviewing the test papers of the candidates at the Jinluan Temple, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Ritual and Hongyousiqing, as well as several cabinet scholars are among the side.
Although the test papers were corrected by several people, if the emperor had any questions, he would still ask them for questions.
Several people are very nervous, and the one who is the most nervous is Hongyousiqing.
Of course, all the test papers presented to your Majesty cannot be clean. There are a few candidates who are deliberately promoted by their parties. Of course, it is not bad in terms of strength. Those who are too bad will not be able to get the palace exam.
I was afraid that the emperor might not match up with each other, so I picked it out separately, and re-selected the examination papers after the 20th place. This kind of situation is rare, but it's not unheard of.
Each time the emperor finishes reading a test paper, if it is placed on the right, it means that it has passed and can be kept; if it is placed on the left, it means there is an objection.
Objective papers basically miss the top one, but generally they don’t fall into the top three.
The emperor has finished reading ten test papers, and has not yet failed to fail.
The weather is good today. In the imperial study room is quiet, only a ribbon of warm spring breeze is blowing slowly from outside the door.
A corner of the examination paper was blown up, and Gong-gong Wei hurriedly took a topaz Pixiu paperweight to hold down the examination paper.
The emperor didn't look up, but he was very helpful to Duke Wei's care, and he deserved to be an old man who had been with him for many years.
The emperor gave a low cough, and Duke Wei hurriedly offered a cup of hot tea.
Look, even the tea temperature is just right.
"Your Majesty, you have been reviewing it all morning. Let's take a break." Li Shangshu worriedly persuaded, "The dragon body is important."
"I'm fine." It's just a bit of irritation. It's not good to be an emperor, and even the slightest disturbance will make people turn their backs, so he doesn't like to admit that he is unwell.
The emperor took a sip of tea and continued to review the test papers. He had just reviewed the test papers of Yuan Yu and Jiangnan talent Ning Zhiyuan. At present, the two of them can rank in the top three.
The overall strength of candidates in this field is better than those in the previous hall exams, and the choice is a lot more difficult.
Hongyou Siqing was one of the people who moved his hands and feet on the test paper. He knew that the emperor was about to review Xiao Liulang's test paper. Xiao Liulang's test paper did not score very high, and he was behind the top twenty cranes.
This is of course for a reason. He "written" the words of great rebellion, and the reason why he still put him in is because he is the Huiyuan, and the Huiyuan will not fall. This is a customary rule, even if you want to fall. Before they come, the emperor will do it himself.
Everything is so seamless.
Hongyousiqing's gaze has been fixed on the second examination paper.
The emperor changed Song Ping's examination papers, but he was not satisfied and put it on the left.
Li Shangshu's heart sank. Song Ping was his protégé, and it seemed that he was out of play.
The emperor raised his hand to take an examination paper. This is an examination paper for an examinee named Zhu Guangmao. A poor student with no background, his performance in Chunwei is not too outstanding, and his ranking in the township examination is only a dozen in the local area. Interest of any party.
After changing his, it should be Xiao Liulang's.
Hongzhi Siqing's heart all mentioned his throat, although there should be nothing wrong with it, but in the end he did something wrong, he was a little guilty, and he wondered what if the emperor recognized that it was not Xiao Liulang's handwriting?
In fact, this word is really well imitated. I am afraid that Xiao Liulang himself may not be able to tell at a glance that it is an imitation. Of course, the emperor has no way of discovering it.
Hongyousiqing was nervous and nervous, suddenly an eunuch's report came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhuang, please see me."
Hongyousiqing moved his gaze away from Xiao Liulang's examination paper, and looked at the door.
How did Mr. Zhuang come here at this time?
The emperor just picked up the test paper and put it back, and said to the door: "Xuan."
"Yes." The **** responded, "Your Majesty Xuanzhuang Taifu sees——"
Gonggong Wei squeezed his eyebrows. This is a newly appointed eunuch. He was promoted, and he was too good to behave. Your Majesty didn't have so many rules before.
What's the announcement? Just let in.
Taifu Zhuang was also stunned. He originally planned to walk in frankly and handed over a blessing, but the new **** made the scene so formal that after he entered the imperial study, he knelt down for the emperor. ceremony.
The emperor faintly waved his hand and motioned to Taifu Zhuang to flatten himself: "What's the matter with Taifu?"
The ministers also saluted Mrs. Zhuang.
Taifu Zhuang gave his hand in response, then looked at the emperor and said with a serious face: "The minister has something to say."
"Now?" His Majesty looked at him.
"Yes." Tai Fu Zhuang handed over.
Li Shangshu wittily said: "Na Chen waited to retire first."
"Hmm." The emperor agreed.
Li Shangshu and others left the imperial study room, and they did not go far, they used tea in the nearby side hall.
The emperor’s gaze fell on Taifu Zhuang’s face again: “What’s the matter in such a hurry? Can’t wait for me to finish reviewing the exam papers?”
Mr. Zhuang scanned the examination papers on the table without a trace, and he secretly relieved when he saw that Xiao Liulang's was the second one that was about to be corrected.
He stepped forward and said, “On the way back, the minister suddenly remembered that it would be the Queen Mother’s birthday a few days later. The minister... boldly went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother."
The emperor had a pause, put down his royal pen, looked down, and drank a sip of tea. Fang looked at Taifu Zhuang and said: "The queen mother is not in good health. The doctor said that it is not suitable to see the wind or to see guests. I will tell you later. People go to the palace to see if the queen mother is getting better, and then inform the Tai Fu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Taifu Zhuang gave a deep blessing, and at the moment he got up, he seemed to accidentally touch the examination papers on the table. A stack of examination papers hit the emperor's teacup, the teacup fell, and the examination papers fell to the ground.
"Damn the minister!" He knelt down and pleaded guilty, and hurriedly picked up the test papers.
Duke Wei hurried to check whether the emperor had been scalded by the tea, and the emperor lowered his head to dust off the water droplets on his body.
Taking advantage of the two of them being unprepared, Mr. Zhuang hid Xiao Liulang's test paper in his left sleeve, and took out Xiao Liulang's original paper from his right sleeve and sandwiched it in the test paper.
……
After leaving the palace, Mrs. Zhuang saw Xuan Pinghou with his hands in his warm hands.
It’s April, and I don’t know how this person still uses this kind of thing.
Xuanping Hou's eyebrows were cold, and his temperament was deep, but the moment Taifu Zhuang walked over, his eyebrows were picked very freely: "Oh, Taifu walks very fast, Baodao is not old."
Taifu Zhuang was so angry that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't get up or down: "I have put the test paper back, you don't hurry up and let the county king!"
"Let it go." Xuan Pinghou turned his head and said with a whisper, "Chang Jing."
Chang Jing directly threw King An from the carriage——
Tao Fu: "..."
The dealer's coachman was also released, and he hurriedly carried King An to his carriage. King An was injured and his leg was bloody.
Taifu Zhuang's fists rattled.
Xuan Pinghou said: "Hurry up and heal, do you want him to become a lame? Tsk tsk tsk, how do you say you are a grandfather? You don't care about your grandson at all."
Tao Fu Zhuang almost exploded on the spot.
You have no idea why my grandson got hurt? How do you have the face to say such a thing?
So angry! This guy is really angry at the old man!
"Huh, do you think he can definitely get the first place?" Taifu Zhuang had read Xiao Liulang's test paper, and honestly, he did a good job.
But unfortunately, the policy issue of this time was discussed by King Anjun with Chen Guojun when he was in the country of Chen. At that time King Anjun didn't know that the imperial examination would raise similar topics. He was just listening to Guojun Chen talking about Anbang's governance. The way.
Xiao Liulang is indeed a man of real talent and learning. He is brilliant in writing, has something to say, and quotes classics, which is convincing. However, he is not a true politician after all, and he is not as experienced as the ruler of a country in the way of governing the country.
Therefore, what Honghesiqing said is true. The two test papers are indeed in the same position. Moreover, the test papers of Jiangnan talent Ning Zhiyuan and Yuan Shoufu's grandson Yuan Yu are also very good.
Even if your Majesty does not praise the dealer, wouldn't he not praise Yuan Shoufu? Yuan Shoufu is the veteran of the three dynasties.
Taifu Zhuang coldly snorted: "Don't be too happy, the champion may not belong to that kid!"
Xuan Pinghou looked calm: "If you don't listen or listen, Wang Ba is reciting the scriptures."
Tao Fu: "......!!!"
You are the bastard!
Who is this?
Tao Fu Zhuang can't stay longer, and he will live a short life if he stays longer.
Tao Fu Zhuang went away!
Xuan Pinghou tilted his head and hooked his lips: "Walk slowly, don't send it."
In the imperial library at this time, the emperor was indeed hesitant about how to rank the top three. Taifu Zhuang had been loyal to the emperor for many years, and he still had a certain understanding of the emperor. From the depth of the article, the examination paper of King An was the most thought-provoking. From the perspective of the pattern of literary talent and an examinee, Xiao Liulang's is even more pleasing to the emperor; the examination papers of Ke Ning Zhiyuan and Yuan Yu are not bad.
Among the four, the youngest is Xiao Liulang, who is eighteen this year, Anjun Wang is nineteen, Yuan Yu is twenty-five, and Ning Zhiyuan is the oldest, thirty.
As for the background, Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang came from a poor family, while King Anjun and Yuan Yu came from a high school.
Oh, by the way, Xiao Liulang is the little cripple, isn’t it?
Thinking of the crutch he saw, the emperor frowned.
……
All candidates and their families in Beijing have started a long and anxious day waiting for their results. Although everyone is basically a Jinshi, the worst is the same Jinshi, but no one is willing to really be the same Jinshi.
The incense of Puji Temple is flourishing again, and it is said that all examinees came to worship.
In Bishui Hutong, if the whole family seems to have nothing to do, they can’t sit still.
The old lady didn’t eat the preserves anymore, and the leaf cards didn’t play anymore. Every day she instructed Laojijiu to buy bunches of skewers on the street, in fact, she was asking for news.
Yao stopped making dim sum these days, and went to the neighbourhood to slam the door at dawn, but he was actually waiting for news.
Little Clearance has been studying very hard in recent days. He is always worried that the bad brother-in-law will not be able to pass the exam, so the family still has to rely on him.
When he grows up, he will give Jiaojiao a top pick and come back!
The day of the list is April 27, because the list of scholars is written on yellow paper, so it is also called the gold list.
The tribute cannot wait for the notice at home. They must enter the palace to accept the canonization. After they have canonized, they will be listed in the major government offices and courts in the capital.
Five shifts, Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang got up. The two had a simple breakfast, and Gu Jiao sent Xiao Liulang into Liu Quan's carriage.
"It's too early to release the list, don't wait." Xiao Liulang said to Gu Jiao.
"Well, good." Gu Jiao nodded.
Xiao Liulang put down the curtain, thinking of something, and opened the curtain again.
Gu Jiao looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Liulang hesitated to say: "It's nothing, it's still early, you can go to bed for a while."
Gu Jiao smiled: "Okay."
Xiao Liulang glanced at her, but finally did not say, he put down the curtain, and arrived at the palace in a carriage.
The tributes are almost here, and Feng Lin, Lin Chengye, and Du Ruohan are also here.
Feng Lin didn’t know if he was too nervous during the palace exam, and he fell ill when he went back. It was fortunate that Lin Chengye and Director Zhou took care of him, and he survived his illness.
I heard that some people could not afford to be sick and even lost their lives, so the road of imperial examination is not so easy.
Feng Lin recovered from a serious illness, and his face was still a little pale.
Several people exchanged greetings, and there was a sudden commotion behind the crowd, and then King An was seen walking over with the help of a few underlings.
"Huh?" Du Ruohan stared strangely, "Why is his leg lame?"
Xiao Liulang was also quite surprised. He glanced at the other person, and it happened that Junwang was also looking at him. His eyes met, Xiao Liulang clearly felt a hint of coldness in Junwang's eyes.
Xiao Liulang didn't know, so he didn't care about it.
It’s nothing more than an insignificant person. What does it matter whether he likes himself or hates himself?
The group of people still entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the order of the test quotation marks. The table and cushions in the palace examination have been removed. The hall is open and simple, and it is particularly exceptional due to the presence of the emperor, Taifu Zhuang, Yuan Shoufu and other cabinet ministers. Solemnly.
A group of people bowed to the emperor under the leadership of the tribute officer, and then, Gonggong Wei presented the roster to the emperor.
The distance between the candidates and the emperor is about one foot, in fact, it is still a bit far away. Some people have the courage to see the true face of the emperor, but before they look up, they are shocked by the emperor’s coercion and breathless.
The emperor didn’t like to do things that were gimmicky, so he immediately began to read the top three of the first one.
"Gongzhou Yaocheng candidate Ning Zhiyuan, the third place in the first grade of Jinshi in April of the Gengwu year, awarded Jinshi and the first."
Ning Zhiyuan was stunned, and the examinees were shocked. This, this, this, this, this, this, this is the trip to explore Hualang?
"Cough!" Ning Zhiyuan winked away as the **** rushed away.
Ning Zhiyuan quickly returned to his senses, stepped sideways, walked to the emperor, stopped at the designated place, opened his clothes, and performed three prostrations and nine prayers, and said in a choked voice: "Chen, Ning Zhiyuan, thank the emperor! Long live my emperor long live long live long live!"
The emperor made him flat, and then read: "In April of the Gengwu year, the second place in the first Jia Jinshi, Zhuang Yuheng, give him the second place in the Jinshi."
Everyone looked at King An in a hurry.
An Junwang is...the second best?
It was a little unexpected.
A trace of disappointment flashed in the heart of King An. He dragged his injured leg and came to the imperial front under the envious or surprised gaze of everyone. He also knelt down for three prostrations and nine prayers: "Chen, Zhuang Yuheng, proclaim the emperor. Hmm! My emperor... Long live long live long live long live!"
The emperor glanced at King An, without speaking.
Next is the champion.
The emperor’s gaze stayed on Yuan Shoufu’s grandson Yuan Yu for a moment, then opened the roster and said loudly: "April in the year of Gengwu, the first scholar in the first class, Xiao Liulang!"
Yuan Shoufu: I'm very happy to take a look?
Emperor: o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o
