Chapter 148: The Book of Changes

In the first year of Chongzhen.

April fifteenth.

It is a great day for Chuanlu.

It was still early in the morning, Wang Chengen urged Yang with a smile and urged the young eunuchs in the early days, constantly urging the little eunuchs and the palace maids to dress the emperor. Yang Jing was almost used to letting the eunuchs and the palace maids wear them. He raised 100,000 eunuchs himself, so why can't he enjoy it? This is useless to enjoy it.

Since Chuanlu didn't need to get up as early as the palace examination, Yang Jing was quite energetic. I don't know what happened these days, and I discussed the secrets of life with the queen day and night, but I still felt that it was not enough. My spirit was so good.

"Big partner, what is Chuanlu? Why is it so important?" Yang Jingwei was bored and was about to review the information about Chuanlu from Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, this slogan is called "Ru", which means that Your Majesty announces the ranking of this palace examination! This ranking is of course important to this Jinshi. If you don't pass the ranking, how can you become a Jinshi? How to get a Jinshi? How to get a gold list? The quality of the ranking is related to the level of the future. How can it not be important to the new Jinshi?"

"Oh, so that's it. In other words, I've passed the list and only the gold list is available outside?" Yang Jingwei is a historical novices. He doesn't know the twists and turns in it all depend on Wang Cheng'en's popular science.

"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, Your Majesty was praised by the new Jinshi, then the Golden List outside was named, and then the top scholar Dai Hua rode a horse and paraded in the streets, which was lively." Wang Chengen explained with a smile. Wang Chengen was also happy for the emperor, because this Jinshi in Encai was the emperor's disciple in the future. With his own disciple, the emperor's position would be more stable. In this officialdom, even the emperor needed to win over a group of people to cheer for him and do his best to do his best, otherwise, nothing would be done.

Yang Jing was speechless. In this time-travel novel, he has always regarded the Jinshi exam, "Golden List" and the top scholar riding a horse and parading on the street as a major event. How can he pay attention to it? Now that he has come to him, why has he approved the Golden List? It seems that he can't see the lively scenes of the Golden List, nor can he participate in it, nor can he see the pride of the top scholar. Yang Jing was quite depressed.

Huangji Palace, the palace with the highest specifications in the Forbidden City, has finally ushered in a good day today, Chuanlu.

Just like during the palace examination, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music began to sound when the emperor's carriage arrived, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Yang Jie looked at it and there were so many people outside the hall! The Dan Bi, the Imperial Road, were full of people, red, blue and green colors, like a carpet outside the hall. Yang Jie estimated it a little, and there were still five or six hundred people. Most of them were small officials wearing blue official uniforms. It seemed that they should be new Jinshi.

Yang Jing passed by Dan Bi, and all of them knelt down. Above Dan Bi, outside the hall, was where the ministers in the court knelt. Yang Jing got Wang Chengen's professor, ignored these people and walked straight to the throne. After Yang Jing sat down, the ministers outside the hall brought hundreds of new Jinshi and officials to perform the ceremony of kneeling three kowtows and kowtows, and the rituals officially began.

This is really a shaking earth!

Yang Jie took out his ears and said to himself: "Damn, this sound is too loud, it's deafening!" It's true that this person has a lot of power. The loud shouts of these five or six hundred people are indeed powerful enough, and they can be called a sound wave weapon. Yang Jie took out a little "ear wax" from his ears and bounced it. The gift of kneeling three times and knocking was completed. The new Jinshi is considered a face saint.

An official began to read: "In the first year of Chongzhen, I tried the tribute scholars in the world. The first academy was awarded the Jinshi, the second academy was awarded the Jinshi, and the third academy was awarded the same Jinshi..."

Then, the chief minister handed over the first few papers and had to be read out in public.

"I report to Your Majesty, the first Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and the Jinshi and the questionnaire are here. I would like to ask Your Majesty to review it and make an appointment."

Yang Jing got Wang Chengen's explanation and knew what was going on. It was a complete fiasco. So he asked someone to take the test paper and ask a little eunuch to read it. This should have been the emperor's business, but for Yang Jing, who still couldn't "break sentences" and "read literacy", this was absolutely impossible, so he had to leave it to the little eunuch to read.

The little eunuch finished reading it in a stern voice. Then he handed the test paper back to Wang Chengen, who gave it to the emperor again. Yang Jing took over the questionnaire and took apart the "huming" and said, "The first place, Liu Ruozai."

A man from the steps said, "First A, No. 1, Liu Ruozai."

Several people outside shouted loudly: "First A, No. 1, Liu Ruozai." The voice came out from afar.

Yang Jingwei really wants to say that this is completely a formality. He has already named the top scorer yesterday.

Wang Chengen whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to meet?"

This is Chuanlu?

Since he is the top scorer, he has to give him some face, so Yang Jingwei said: "See you."

"The top scholar of Xuanxin Department, Liu Ruozai, met with him."

After a while, a man in his thirties came in, and with a little nervousness, he kowtowed, "Long live my emperor, my son Liu Ruozai kowtowed me."

"Liu Ruozai, you are the top scholar in the Encade department and the top scholar! Where is your ancestral home? What is your name? How old is this year?" After Wang Chengen's training, Yang Jing probably knew that the emperors in the past would ask about those things, and he asked about those things himself.

Liu Ruozai was able to visit the emperor in person, and was happy and excited, saying, "Report to your Majesty, Liu Ruozai, whose courtesy name is Yinping, is from Anqing Mansion. His ancestral home is also from Anqing. He was born in the 23rd year of Wanli and is now thirty-three years old." Liu Ruozai quickly reported his situation to the emperor.

"No, not bad, young and promising, it's the time to serve the court. Do it well. I'm optimistic about you! I will definitely be the pillar of the court in the future!" Yang Jing encouraged a few words. As for the pillar of the court, he was absolutely right. As soon as the top scholar appeared, he would be a sixth-rank official, who was two levels older than the seventh-rank official of the county magistrate. As long as he worked a little hard and did not make mistakes, he would basically climb to the third-rank or above, and he would have no problem being a chief official or a minister of the cabinet, and his future would be bright.

"I thank Your Majesty for your encouragement and will definitely work hard to serve the court and your Majesty's kindness." Liu Ruozai excitedly promised the emperor that he would do his best.

Yang Jing pretended to let the eunuch read the articles of No. 1 and Tanhua. They were both the same. He took apart the "Fu Ming" on the spot, and then the emperor read the "First A, So-and-so."

The people below sang it once, and then there seemed to be a few people outside sing it together, and it was just like that.

He also met with Bofan and Tanhua, said nonsense similar to Liu Ruozai, talked a few words, and encouraged him. He had received them and gave him enough face to be the first-class person, Enko.

Yang Jie felt that this chanting is quite fun, but the number of people is a bit too large, with three or four hundred people. It is impossible for him to enjoy the honor of the emperor's personal chanting, and that is the small official below who sings the title himself.

The official who sang the name also knew how to do it. After singing a name, he stopped singing it. Looking at the emperor, Wang Chengen understood and asked the emperor again: "Your Majesty, have you received it?"

"See." It's better to meet the top few of my honorary jinshi, not to mention that I saw the rankings yesterday, and there are still Wanhuhou in it.

"The Second-class Jinshi Xuan,... to meet..."

Ten people were arranged in sequence and bowed to the emperor. Yang Jing pretended to ask the first place in the second place, and asked the names of these people, what are their names, where, how old is this year. These Jinshi were so grateful that they were all excited.

"Wanhuhou, haha, your name is very good! How old is the person there, his ancestral home? " Yang Jing asked with a smile about this "acquaintance" who he had met several times.

When the name Wanhuhou was reported in the hall, there were "whispers" in the hall, and they laughed at the person's name, saying: You really dare to choose any name, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing tongue.

Marquis Wanhu felt the hint of ridicule in the hall, and became even more excited, saying loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am a member of the palace, and my ancestral home is also a mansion... It's 31 this year."

"Haha, Marquis of Wanhu, your name is really good. Your parents gave you this name, and they must have hoped that you will be able to expand your territory in the future, be named Marquis for their merits, become famous all over the world, and serve the court. You must work hard! I hope that you will not let your name be covered in dust in the future, not let your name be shamed, be worthy of your name, not let your name down, not let your parents down, and not let my expectations of you!"

Wanhuhou was so excited. Mr. Yang was indeed "very unspeakable". He was the emperor today. He could get into the emperor's eyes early, and his future was no worse than the top scorer! Naturally, he also understood what the emperor expected of him. He immediately thanked him: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will swear to follow Your Majesty to the death."

Only a few people understood what Wanhuhou meant. The other people in the hall felt a little strange, so why did they "swear to death"? How unlucky? Yang Jie nodded and was very happy when he heard this. This person was quite cognitive.

After this group of people met, the emperor usually didn't meet people much. He just chose a few casually to see them, and it was completely up to his own wishes. Because no emperor was willing to ask about his well-being with three or four hundred people at once.

However, Yang Jie planned to break the rules and was preparing to meet him.

The person who was waiting for the singing title sang a long paragraph of name, and Yang Jing met with another group. This time, there were more people, and all the people from the second grade arrived. Yang Jing pretended to ask a few people's names and encouraged them a few words, which was considered as meeting these people.

By the time of the third grade, the first batch was fifty people. Yang Jing also received the meeting patiently, in order to wait for one person, and this person was Shi Kefa. This historical celebrity may not talk about the emperor when talking about the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but this guy must be inseparable from the scene.

The roll call continued, and it was not until the last batch that Yang Jing heard Shi Kefa's name. Yang Jing waited for a long time and was almost trapped with these disciples of the emperor for a long time. He was a little numb. When he heard Shi Kefa's name, he finally felt a little energetic and cheered up to watch this historical celebrity.

These dozens of people were quite happy. Although the ranking was not good, unfortunately, they could also get the honor of being a close-range saint. This would make them brag about it. If it were the usual priests, the Jinshi who ranked low would be able to bow from afar outside the Danbi and the Imperial Road, which was considered to be a meeting with Tianyan. There was such a close-up conversation with the emperor. Therefore, everyone was very happy. The people who were named by the emperor were even more excited. After this ranking was hundreds, they could still get the emperor's name. This really depends on luck! Many people couldn't help but be jealous of the luck of these people.

"Shi Kefa? Haha, right, let me tell you where you are, what is your name? How old is this year?" Yang Jing was watching this historical celebrity. Damn, he was too young. He looked like he was only in his twenties. In public, he was considered a "young Jinshi". After becoming a Jinshi in his twenties, he was so dreamed of traveling through time and time.

"Report to Your Majesty, Shi Kefa, whose courtesy name is Xianzhi, is from Kaifeng Prefecture. He is from Shuntian Prefecture. He was born in the 29th year of Wanli and is 27 years old this year." Shi Kefa carefully reported to the emperor.

Reform originally thought that he should be at least thirty or forty years old. Now, seeing myself, I am in my twenties, I am too young! I am so loyal. If you want to be good at government affairs, that's right. If you let him do military affairs, this would be a tragedy! But it's not a big deal that he doesn't understand military affairs. In the situation in Nanming, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't play any level! There are too many teammates like pigs, and they are so corrupt. Yang Jing's thoughts have already floated to the plane where he doesn't know the universe.

Shi Kefa knelt on the ground and couldn't wait for the emperor's "consolation". He didn't wait for the emperor's encouragement, and suddenly became uneasy. Did he see that his face was too tender and the emperor was worried that his grades would be fake? He secretly blamed himself for not "dressing up" too tender, but he should be more mature.

"Shi Kefa, good, not bad, I didn't expect you to be so young and promising! Your name is very special and gives me a deep feeling. I hope you can be a pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" Yang Jingyi walked through layers of planes, took back his thoughts, and encouraged Shi Kefa, hoping that this guy could become his internal affairs assistant in the future.

Watching the historical celebrities ended, Yang Jingwei's intentions were taken back, and this time he received the new Jinshi, which was considered to be over.

The remaining activities have little to do with Yang Jing, such as the future "golden list title" and "parking across the horse" and these are all the honors of these new Jinshi, and have little to do with Yang Jing. Yang Jing is only responsible for giving these people honors.
