After hearing Liu Zhen say this, Lin Yanchao felt that the cold history became vivid in front of his eyes.

This is not only a scrap of gossip news, but also closely related to his current imperial examination.

In fact, when he was in central Fujian, Lin Yanchao also inquired about this matter. After Tang Xianzu wrote the book "Red Spring Yicao", he became famous. Before going to the capital, he became the most famous figure among the juren.

Before the spring examination of the fifth year of Wanli, in order to make his son famous, Zhang Juzheng asked his brother Zhang Juqian to visit Tang Xianzu's residence with his son Zhang Sixiu.

It is not clear whether Tang Xianzu had a account to sell the two people. Some people said there was, and some people said there were no.

However, in fact, Tang Xianzu failed the exam in the last spring exam. Another person, Chen Maoxue, won the top scorer.

While Lin Yanchao was thinking carefully, the sound of firecrackers came from the Huguang Guild Hall.

Lin Yanchao's eyes turned to the outside of the hall.

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Did you see it? The Huguang Guild Hall is now at the time when flowers are blooming and oil is cooked with fire."

Lin Yanchao smiled. Liu Zhen was right. Although it was outside the capital, it was a residence in the guild hall after all, and firecrackers were set off in the middle of the night. This was simply... it was simply not taking the public security regulations into consideration.

Liu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I just regret that I have never won the Jie Yuan, nor have I written such masterpieces as Ru Brother Tai's Annotations and Commentaries, which are not attracted to others' eyes. Otherwise, I would have gone to the Zhang Mansion to pay private visits to make a way to advance myself."

As he spoke, Liu Zhen looked at Lin Yanchao's expression.

But seeing Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Liu is drunk, please take a rest soon!"

Liu Zhen was stunned, and Lin Yanchao did not express his opinion.

For Lin Yanchao, he had no intention of overcoming Zhang Juzheng from the beginning to the end, but it did not mean that he could casually express his ability to draw a clear line with Zhang Juzheng and seek fame to show his awesomeness.

Let me talk about what is the best way to reveal my political tendencies when a down-and-out juren is?

As for Zhang Juzheng's party, it is indeed powerful now, but after Zhang Juzheng's fall in history, all the governors and ministers who were close to Zhang Juzheng were liquidated and left the officialdom sadly.

To use the words of Tang Xianzu's descendant Kong Shangren, he saw him get up the red building, he saw him entertain guests, and he saw his building collapse.

Now that the investment has been in effect, how many years will it take to be glorious?

I followed the steps and took out the letter from my teacher Lin Qiang, and went to Shenshixing as my son to submit a post to the post of Shenshixing, and established a relationship with the future examiner of the exam early.

This is my thigh.

However, when Lin Yanchao asked Liu Zhen about the cabinet ministers, he was shocked and almost said, "What the hell is Ma Ziqiang?"

Liu Zhendao: "Former Minister of Rites, the third member of the cabinet minister today."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel that human calculations were worse than heaven's calculations. Two years ago, he thought that the rankings of ministers of the Ming Dynasty were Zhang Juzheng, Lu Diaoyang, and Zhang Siwei.

Both Lu Diaoyang and Zhang Siwei presided over the examination, so the one who presided over the examination in Jinke would definitely be Shen Shixing, who had just added to the cabinet.

However, Lin Yanchao has been running around for the past six months and has not been well-informed. He doesn't know that the ranking of cabinet ministers is not like this at the moment.

Now Zhang Juzheng is still the chief assistant, but the second assistant Lu Diaoyang has requested a leave of illness, and Zhang Siwei is now responsible for the second assistant. Although the newly added to the cabinet is Shen Shixing, the former Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, there is one more person in front of his name, that is, the former Minister of Rites Ma Ziqiang.

When ranking the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the order of entry of the cabinet is determined by the time of entry. If you enter the cabinet at the same time, the official position will be discussed and then the qualifications will be discussed.

Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing both entered the cabinet in the sixth year of Wanli, but when Ma Ziqiang entered the cabinet, he was the Minister of Rites. Shen Shixing was the Right Minister of Personnel.

Although Shen Shixing also received the title of Minister of Rites after entering the cabinet. His official title was on par with Ma Ziqiang, the difference in order to determine the difference in ranking.

If you get one, you will decide many things, such as the current exam. If nothing unexpected happens, Ma Ziqiang will be the chief examiner of the exam, not Shen Shixing.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh, this is all the fault of not reading the books carefully before traveling through time.

But when Liu Zhen suddenly changed his mind, "But I heard that after Mr. Ma entered the cabinet, he was in a bad state."

If you didn't say it earlier, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but complain.

From Liu Zhen’s words, Lin Yanchao heard a little change. If Ma Ziqiang withdrew due to physical discomfort, he would be the main exam for Shen Shixingbu. Perhaps it is possible to visit him now to burn a cold stove.

If Shen Shixing is determined to be the main test of the Spring Examination, meeting at that time will be another meaning.

After resting for a night, Lin Yanchao began to settle down the next day.

The manager of the guild hall came to inquire with Lin Yanchao, whether you are planning to buy a house or rent a house.

Although Lin Yanchao was in a huge amount of 800 taels of silver notes, he was always inconvenient to buy a house in Beijing. But after asking, he found out why your sister’s house price was so down-to-earth.

Outside Zhengyang Gate, it belongs to the outer city, with a small courtyard and five rooms, and only thirty-five taels are sold.

The ones who bring stores and fallen seats are only more than fifty taels. The inner city will be more expensive, but it is not much different.

The housing price of more than 30 taels is not expensive at all. If I had been drifting in Beijing for two or three years in the Ming Dynasty, I would have been able to buy a house in the imperial capital.

So the shopkeeper said that most scholars who came to Beijing bought houses and settled, which makes sense.

Lin Yanchao looked at the small courtyard where he lived. There were three rooms on the left and right sides of the main house. There was only one wall built on the south side and there was no downfall. The store was indeed a bit shabby.

However, Lin Yanchao is not going to move. Although Lin Yanchao still likes the courtyard houses in old Beijing, if he pursues the beautiful houses as soon as he enters Beijing, it will give people an unpragmatic image. Now is not the time, and it will not be too late to buy them in the future. The housing prices in this era will not run around like rockets.

So Lin Yanchao sent Chen Jichuan out to buy necessary items, but he asked the shopkeeper for a few general residences of the current officials.

Then Lin Yanchao went back to his house and brought Lin Yan's letter to him and some local products brought from Fujian thousands of miles away, and went out to hire a carriage to enter the city.

The carriage entered the inner city from Chongwu Gate and then went west.

The carriage curtain gradually became noisy. Lin Yanchao sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. He had no time to take a look at the bustling bustle of Sijiu City.

He knew who the person he was going to meet later. This person's view on his own will greatly affect his fate in more than ten years, so he cannot make any mistakes.

Lin Yanchao repeatedly followed the person's resume and the evaluation of the other party in the history books in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he became a little nervous.

However, as the carriage gradually walked, Lin Yanchao simply let go of everything and recited the article he liked on weekdays casually.

‘Master, I’m at the ground.’ The coachman outside the curtain said.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao dressed up and got out of the carriage, looked for someone to ask for directions, and walked to a house.

Several doors were standing outside the door, and Lin Yanchao had not yet taken a step.

The doorman immediately spoke coldly: 'This is the residence of the old master, and officials under the fifth rank refused to pay private visits.' (To be continued.)
