(PS: Two updates today, the first update is delivered.)

When the palace examination was about to be presided over by the palace examination, the Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao was in a very good mood. One reason was that he had completed a masterpiece of wooden tools the night before. The other reason was that he could meet the legendary Master Zhang Haogu, the legendary Master Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he could see with his own eyes what Zhang Haogu looked like and how great he was. Is he as knowledgeable as the eunuchs in the palace praised by the eunuchs? ——There is no way, Master Zhang’s reputation among eunuchs is so good. He is also the godson of the eunuch boss Wei Zhongxian. There are only a group of eunuchs who serve Zhu Youxiao all day long. It is difficult for Master Zhang’s name to be heard in Zhu Youxiao early.

"Zhongxian, is Zhang Haogu here today? Don't be like the previous subject. There is a candidate who was disqualified because he was late." When Wei Zhongxian and Keshi personally served Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty to change clothes, he did not forget to ask. Wei Zhongxian replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, please be 100 times. I have sent Song Jin to the inn to pick him up, so I will definitely not be able to do anything." (Note 1)

"That's good." Emperor Xizong of Ming nodded and sighed to Wei Zhongxian and Keshi: "I have shortage of people around me. Apart from Teacher Sun in Liaodong, I am the only one who is Zhongxian and the nurse. If that Zhang Haogu is so good as you said, I must use him well."

Wei Zhongxian and Keshi laughed together and replied, "Long live, you are so praiseful, these are all what I should do." Keshi added, and said, "When talking about Zhang Haogu, I have never seen him before, and I really want to see what he looks like." Wei Zhongxian rushed to answer, "That Zhang Haogu is really handsome, sensible, and young, and will definitely be loyal to the emperor for the rest of his life. However, that kid is another monkey, and his butt is like a thorn on the bench. He can't sit steadily for a moment, and no one sits in a figure. He doesn't speak seriously, and he can make people laugh in just a few words. Alas, he is still too young after all."

I have to admit that Wei Zhongxian really takes good care of our Grand Master Zhang. He knows Mr. Zhang’s slick nature. He also knows that Emperor Xizong of Ming may have personally examined Grand Master Zhang after the written test of the palace examination. He is afraid that Mr. Zhang’s verbal violation of court etiquette and will make Ming Xizong angry and impeach his ministers, so he gave Ming Xizong anger in advance and made him laugh at him. Emperor Xizong of Ming and Keshi were indeed amused by Wei Zhongxian. Emperor Xizong of Ming smiled and said, “Young people are all like this. Apart from doing carpenter work, I can’t sit still? I’m here to see today. Can Zhang Haogu jump to where?”

While speaking, the time for court was coming. Now the monarch, minister, master and servant acted separately. Wei Zhongxian first went to Huangji Palace to stand in the imperial palace. Emperor Xizong of Ming walked out of Qianqing Palace and led a brigade of guards, palace maids and eunuchs to Huangji Palace to preside over the palace examination. When he arrived at Huangji Palace, all the civil and military officials and undergraduate examination candidates of the Ming Dynasty had already stood in the hall. As soon as Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty sat on the dragon throne, the sound of land collapsed and cracked in the Huangji Palace immediately sounded in the imperial palace, "Long live my emperor!" Hundreds of civil and military officials and the palace examination candidates also knelt down together, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. The scene was very spectacular. (Note 2)

"Don't give me a gift, I'll be with you all the candidates." Ming Xizong nodded and said, and a neat voice immediately sounded in the Huangji Palace, "Long live thanking." Ming Xizong waved his hand again, and the eunuch Wang Tigan, who was standing in the first row of the Sili Supervisor in the first row of his right hand, immediately understood and sang out and said, "The candidates in the Yichou Department examination for the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty Tianqi are in their seats."

"Long live thanks." Two hundred and ninety-seven candidates kowtowed and thanked each other, then stood up and sat in the seats of the candidates that had been arranged. Wang Tigan sang again: "Long live the question please."

Emperor Xizong of Ming was not polite and immediately recited: "Question: I was born with all my life, and I had ambition at a weak age. I was good at closing my door and I was able to open the book. I had a lot of reading the Nine-Levels, "Seven Briefs", and I have quite a few things to read; the six arts and hundreds of schools are not walls. Although I have been busy all day long, I will be lost in the morning and after listening to the reading, I lost all three more. The grass was lower than the wind. However, I was weak and could not move the vulgarity." - This test question was written by Wang Tigan, who had a brief understanding of the words, helped Emperor Xizong of Ming out of the book. Otherwise, Emperor Xizong of Ming, who was also a big illiterate, would have to ask how much wood it would take to build a palace.

After Wang Tigan repeated the exam questions again, he sang: "The palace examination begins, all candidates answer the questions." Nearly 300 candidates sang in unison, each chanting their promises, and each wrote quickly. The eunuch of the Sili Supervisor Wang Tigan and the cabinet chief Gu Bingqian led the eunuchs of the Sili Supervisor and the cabinet ministers to sit in their seats to observe the palace examination. They only pitied those low-level civil and military officials, who could only stand impatiently on both sides of the Huangji Hall without moving. The name was observing was actually a punishment stand.

After finally finishing these false gifts, the Emperor Xizong of Ming, who felt relieved, began to look for the legendary Ming Dynasty number one talent among the candidates, Master Zhang, but nearly 300 people were present. How could Emperor Xizong of Ming, who had never seen Master Zhang, find it? In desperation, Emperor Xizong of Ming could only wave to Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting in the second seat with his right hand, and called him in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Zhongxian, which one is Zhang Haogu?"

"Long live, Zhang Haogu is sitting in the third seat on the left in the first row." Wei Zhongxian replied in a low voice. Ming Xizong nodded and quickly followed Wei Zhongxian's instructions to look at the talented man of the dynasty who was praised by the eunuchs. It would be fine if he didn't look at it. After seeing it, Ming Xizong almost lost his nose - the legendary talented man of the current dynasty, the pillar of the country, and the undergraduate degree, Zhang Haogu, was actually crawling on the exam case and sleeping soundly! Not only did he not write a word, but he also snores sounded!

"Hey, why did this little monkey sleep?" Wei Zhongxian also found that something was wrong, so he quickly sued Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, walked up and shook Master Zhang himself, and cursed in a low voice: "Little monkey, wake up, wake up quickly."

After wasting a lot of strength, Wei Zhongxian finally woke up Master Zhang, but when he woke up with sleepy eyes, he saw Wei Zhongxian. The first sentence was, "Godfather, it's not dawn yet? Let me sleep for a while." After that, Master Zhang's head tilted and he leaned against the exam case and snored. As a result, the civil and military officials who were watching the side and the candidates around him couldn't help laughing. Wang Wenyan, Cao Yubian and Li Ruoxing laughed proudly, while Wei Zhongxian and Ming Xizong were extremely embarrassed. Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he pulled Master Zhang's ear and shouted: "Little monkey, this is the Golden Palace, not your study, please answer questions for our family."

"Yes, yes." Master Zhang, whose ears were almost pulled off by Wei Zhongxian, finally got a little excited and sat up straight. Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Master Zhang fiercely, and then retreated to his seat. Master Zhang sat in his original position and shook his head in confusion, as if he might fall asleep at any time. As for the test papers and brushes in front of him, Master Zhang had not even touched them. Seeing this scene, Emperor Xizong of Ming, who had great expectations for Master Zhang, was extremely disappointed and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "But that's it."

As the frequency and movements of Mr. Zhang's body shaking became louder and louder, the snickering of civil and military officials also became louder and louder. The snickering sounds of the snickering sounds into Wei Zhongxian's ears, but they turned into extremely sharp irony and sarcasm. There was no way, Wei Zhongxian had already boasted in the morning court several times during this period before it was useful, and he accepted Mr. Zhang as his godson. Now, Mr. Zhang was so ugly that he didn't beat Wei Zhongxian in public? In anger, Wei Zhongxian had to even kill Mr. Zhang! But the current situation did not allow Wei Zhongxian to do this. In desperation, Wei Zhongxian had to throw his face out again, ask Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty for a cup of hot tea, personally brought it to Mr. Zhang, quietly kicked Mr. Zhang, and shouted in a low voice: "Little monkey, drink this cup of tea to cheer up, and then answer the questions for our family immediately!"

"Thank you godfather." Master Zhang agreed vaguely and took the teacup with both hands, but before the teacup was settled, Master Zhang's hands suddenly loosened. The teacup fell down on the table with a thud. The hot tea splashed everywhere, and the test table was wet. Not only did he wet the test paper test table, but he also wet a large area of ​​Wei Zhongxian's vermilion official uniform, which scared Master Zhang so much that he jumped up. Seeing this scene, the civil and military officials in the court could no longer bear it and laughed loudly together. Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he swung his big ears and slapped Master Zhang. But when the slap was about to touch Master Zhang's cheek, Wei Zhongxian remembered that it was at the palace examination site, and forced himself to hold it back and took the slap.

"I was so rude to you, please forgive me for your crime." Master Zhang was also scalded by tea, and his head was barely awake. He quickly kowtowed to Wei Zhongxian to apologize, and his words were much more ruled. Although Wei Zhongxian wanted to tear Master Zhang, he did not dare to attack in public, so he could only hum, "Forget it, let's answer the questions for our family." After that, Wei Zhongxian turned around and left, so ashamed that he didn't even look at Emperor Xizong of Ming and his colleagues. Emperor Xizong of Ming rolled his eyes on the dragon throne, and was too lazy to look at Mr. Zhang again.

"Long live, I have a memorial to report." At this time, Cao Yubian, the right censor of Master Zhang, stood up, knelt down on his knees to Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, and kowtowed and said: "Long live, the palace examination is a national talent ceremony, which is related to the national destiny. However, the candidate Zhang Haogu made a fool of himself on the spot, snoring his head, and making a big fuss about the discussion. He regards the national talent ceremony as a joke. Who is unbearable? I requested that Zhang Haogu be disqualified from the palace examination and expel Zhang Haogu from the palace immediately, and never use it to correct the national law."

"Long live, I think it's not enough to just drive Zhang Haogu out of the palace." Li Ruoxing also jumped out and added a trick, saying loudly: "Zhang Haogu deliberately neglected the palace examination and was dirty test papers. He should be arrested immediately and be imprisoned and questioned!"
