Chapter 81: Lianzhong Sanyuan
The six ministries are outside the palace city, with the east and west of the military. Outside the east wall are the offices of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and other military yamen. Outside the west wall are the offices of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple. The examination was chaired by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites had a separate courtyard beside it, called the "Nanyuan of the Ministry of Rites", which was specially handled for imperial examinations. The examination results were released on the east wall of the South Court. The walls were specially built, which were more than meter high, and there were open spaces and walls in front of the walls.
The list of written written on the golden paper was posted on the pink and white wall. Several people were happy and lost. The two heavens were ice and fire under the list. When they saw that their name ranked first and they won Huiyuan, Jiang Anyi was shocked and the respectful voices in his ears became illusory and unreal.
Zhang Zhicheng ranked second, and Fan Shi was 176, and all three won the tributes, known as the "Three Masters of Tongfu". The Tongfu Hotel suddenly became lively. The shopkeeper's face was full of joy and asked several masters to leave the calligraphy. The waiter raised his head higher, and he used a nasal sound when he saw people talking. He thought he had won Huiyuan.
The guests kept coming and the pieces piled up Lao Gao, and the three of them were sweating and happy. Zhang Yuzhu exchanged the silver for wedding money and dispersed the land. The little girl was so happy that she couldn't take care of her life.
As soon as Li Shihong left the tribute court, he went straight to the prime minister's mansion. He wanted to give Wei Xiang an explanation. The prime minister's mansion was decorated with lights and the young master was third in high school, and the mansion was full of joy. Li Shihong was led to the East Academy. Wei Yi was calm and read the article on Jiang Anyi's examination with a deep expression.
Seeing Li Shihong giving a gift, Wei Yishen put down his article and said, "Sit down."
The prime minister was able to hold a boat in his stomach. On the surface, Wei Yishen was unhappy at all. The more he was like this, Li Shihong became colder and sweated. He stuttered: "My dear, I wanted to take You to become Huiyuan. Unexpectedly, I published three good fu in the past. I was unpredictable and could only boldly speculate. I chose the one who looked like the most of the young master. Unexpectedly, I won Jiang Anyi by chance."
Li Shihong explained anxiously, and Wei Yi sighed deeply: "You are not blamed for this matter. I just read Jiang Anyi, Zhang Zhicheng and Cheng'er's "Sun and Five Light Fu". To be honest, if I hadn't known in advance, I wouldn't have been able to tell which article was written by Cheng'er. I wouldn't blame you for this matter."
After a few words, Li Shihong relieved himself and said goodbye. When Li Shihong left the door, Wei Youcheng turned out from behind the screen and said apologizing: "Cheng'er disappointed grandpa."
Wei Yishen laughed loudly and said, "Cheng'er, you are wrong, grandpa is not disappointed at all. Before the exam, grandpa asked you to compete for Huiyuan because he was afraid that you would lose your ambition. In this exam, Zhang Zhicheng's article should be ranked first, and Cheng'er, you are above Jiang Anyi. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. You must know that there are countless capable people in the world, and no one can lead again. Cheng'er, success or failure does not mean anything. Winning is not arrogant, and defeat is the key, let alone Cheng'er, you are not defeated. There is also a palace exam after the exam. It is still unknown who will win and die. Cheng'er, you should fight again."
"yes."
When his grandson went out with confidence, Wei Yishen smiled bitterly. The palace examination system was to prevent the powerful and noble families from monopolizing the imperial examinations and blocking the progress of the poor family. Unexpectedly, today his family would have to use the palace examination to prove his talent. It has to be said to be a sarcasm. In any case, Cheng'er's high school is inevitable. The matter of clearing the land and mu is imminent. This matter involves too much. If you are not careful, the Wei family will also be affected. The most important thing at the moment is this matter, and you must think it clearly.
The palace examination is scheduled for May 15th. The juren who failed to pass the exam will return home, preparing to start over three years later. Some people simply stayed nearby, waiting while studying. If they failed to pass the exam today, Zhang Zhicheng will be one of these people.
However, Zhang Zhicheng was full of energy at this moment. You should know that the palace examination did not dismiss the tribute scholars. In other words, the tribute scholars at this moment were already a Jinshi. Being a Jinshi means a bright future, and an official is waiting for him. Of course, Zhang Zhicheng would not satisfy his Jinshi's origin. His goal is to be a top scholar.
Mr. Fan did not have the ambition of Zhang Zhicheng, and being able to win the Jinshi was considered a comfort to his father and family. Of course, taking the second grade was the biggest wish. As for the first grade, it was the business of An Yi and Brother Zhang. I would like to drink wine in a glass of wine and enjoy myself.
Most people have similar mentality to Fan Shiben. This time, Zechang Academy did a good job. Liu Yushan was ranked 63rd in the first place, Ju Mingde was ranked 233rd in the first place, Lin Yizhen was ranked 281st in the first place, Fang Yuanchen was ranked unlucky and failed.
The tribute scholars had a collective activity, which was to meet to visit the teacher, Fang Shi. In the past few days, Li Shihong, Duan Cizong and eighteen test officials came to the market. They received the gifts and even the concierge was overjoyed, thinking about whether they could buy a small courtyard.
Jiang Anyi found that neither Li Shihong nor Duan Cizong were as enthusiastic as Zhang Zhicheng, which made Jiang Anyi a little confused. In fact, he won the Huiyuan and gave him a gift list, why was he not as popular as Brother Zhang? Could it be that he was not good at character?
Hanyuan Hall, the first palace of the imperial palace, is the place for important ceremonies and ceremonies. The palace examination is located here. Hanyuan Hall Hall eleven rooms are wide, each with a width of nearly two meters and a depth of more than seven meters. There are guardrail corridors around the hall, and there are two pavilions, Xiangluan and Qifeng Pavilion in front of the east and west sides. They are connected to Hanyuan Hall in a curved-shaped corridor, showing their majestic momentum under the light green sky.
At the beginning of the Mao hour, the sun had not risen and the sky was already dawn. Three hundred and sixteen tribute men were neatly arranged in front of Hanyuan Hall in new royal blue shirts, full of vitality and spirit. Even the voices of the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were named became clear and thick. A little further away, spears and halberds were swaying, the wind blew the flags, flying violently, and solemnly.
After the call, the new Kogongs walked into the Hanyuan Hall under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites officials. Jiang Anyi and others performed rituals in the Ministry of Rites in advance. They knew that they had to follow the rules when standing, sitting, walking, and worshiping. Jiang Anyi felt that he was a little nervous when walking. "Being a field man in the morning and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening." For scholars, being able to enter the Hanyuan Hall is the most honor. Among the 316 people, many people will often go to this hall and set foot on the peak of their lives.
The tables of 316 were neatly arranged, and everyone sat down one by one. Jiang Anyi was Huiyuan, and his table faced the dragon chaise on the high platform. When he sat down, Jiang Anyi quickly glanced at the imperial seat, and his eyes were golden. He dared not look at it anymore, so he lowered his head to wait. There were only four censors walking back and forth in the hall, correcting the misconduct of the tributes.
Suddenly, the bells and chimes rang, and officials from the Ministry of Rites signaled the students to bow down, and footsteps came up to the imperial platform. The emperor sat down, and everyone bowed three times and nine times, shouting long live the mountain.
"No gift." A thick voice came into my ears. This should be the emperor's voice. Jiang Anyi didn't dare to look up and listened quietly.
After encouraging everyone, the emperor said, "I heard that the ancients can be used to learn from the rise and fall, and the history can be used to learn from the rise and fall. Wei started in the Warring States Period, eroded the world, annexed the nations, and the country was one; the laws and regulations were clear, and the achievements were made for thousands of years. Then the descendants were cruel, competing for luxury, and the people were sacrificed to show off. My Emperor Gaozu promoted his righteous army and spoke for the people, and he had the great Zheng today. Since I ascended the throne, I have been upset and thinking about the law of long-term stability. However, the national economy was exhausted and the military was weak, the Fu Ze was not clear, and the border was prepared for Kong Ji, and I did not forget the past and the future. Today, I used the title of "By Wei" as the title. If you are familiar with it, you should not provoke it and not spread it. I will learn from the past and the present to help me express my thoughts."
Everyone took the seat again. There was a question on the table about the emperor's words just now, in case anyone didn't hear it clearly. The palace examination began. After the emperor sat down for a while, he stood up and left. In the Hanyuan Hall, Zhang Zhongchang, the Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall, was the main examiner, and Wan Youpeng, the Minister of Rites, was the promotion officer. There were eight examiners, all of whom were well-educated from Jinshi. There were four supervisors and censors in the hall inspecting back and forth.
The strategy for the palace examination has a certain format, "I am right: this is the case. I am right." The number of words is required to be more than a thousand words, and the font also has requirements. There is no principled and regular form of the square Guangyuan. From a certain perspective, the calligraphy of the palace examination is more important than the article. The palace examination is tested one day, and the paper is held at the Si hour, and the paper is handed in the You hour. If you have not finished the answer, please give a candle to continue answering the questions, and you must hand it in the paper.
Jiang Anyi opened the question and was secretly happy. Before he passed the imperial examination, he made up for a general history and knew very well about the history of the Great Wei Dynasty. He had read the "On the Over Qin" from the memories of the demons. The Qin Dynasty and Wei Dynasty in the space where the demons are located are in a very good article.
"I am talking about: Wei destroyed Qi sacrifices, and the sea was in the sea, and the princes were also promoted to the south to support the four seas. The people in the world were magnificent to the wind. If so, why? He said: Those who had no king in recent times have been long... Therefore, the previous kings saw that the beginning and the beginning remained unchanged, and knew the reason for survival. Therefore, the way of herders was to be at peace. Even if there were ministers who were against the flow, they would not be able to respond. Therefore, it was said: "It is righteous to be at peace with the people, but it is easy to be at peace with the people." This is what it means. Those who are noble to be the emperor, rich in the world, and their bodies are to be killed, are correct and wrong. I am talking about it."
The paper was handed over at the You hour. Jiang Anyi, Fan Shiben, Zhang Zhicheng and others walked out of the imperial city slowly, and several people stood back together. The imperial city in the sunset was majestic and majestic, as if it was ambition in the heart.
On May 17th, in Zichen Hall, Grand Secretary Zhang and Secretary Wan presented the articles from the top ten in the palace examination. The first-class top scholar and the second-class Tanhua asked the emperor to personally appraise. As many as 300 people participated in the palace examination, it was impossible for the emperor to read everyone's articles.
The top ten people in the world picked out only, and the articles were naturally like flowers. Seeing the wonderful things, Shi Shouzhen nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhang Qing has put his heart into it. These articles are good. In your opinion, which article is the best?"
Zhang Zhongchang said straight: "Jiang Anyi's "Theory of the Over Wei" is high, pointing out that 'benevolence and righteousness are the key, and it is in line with the purpose of long live to learn from the present; Zhang Zhicheng's "Theory of the Over Wei" believes that Wei lost the world because of 'extraordinary and ruthlessness', which is also a masterpiece that hits the nail on the head."
After a pause, Zhang Zhongchang continued: "Wei Youmin's articles are mostly parallel and neat and majestic, and they are rare works. As for who is higher and lower, please respectfully ask the priest to judge."
In fact, Zhang Zhongchang believed that Wei Youcheng's article "female words and meanings" were not as good as what Jiang Zhang did. Two days ago, Wei Xiang made a special trip to discuss the renovation of Jixian Palace. Zhang Zhongchang naturally knew the reason and had to add this sentence.
"Oh, the first three are the top three of the exams. It seems that Li Shihong and Duan Cizong's recruitment of scholars is fair, I feel comforted. Zhang Qing, please leave, leave the article, I will study it carefully. I will announce the results after the court will participate tomorrow."
Shi Shouzhen returned to the Imperial Study Room, and all the articles were very good. In addition to the gorgeous words, they were all very meaningful. Shi Shouzhen read them carefully one by one, and before noon was over. Princess Anshou walked in with a pouting lips. The imperial study room was in great importance, and the eunuch in the palace entered the palace to be killed. Princess Anshou was most favored by the emperor, and the imperial study room was just her own hall to her.
"Father, it's time for you, why don't you eat? Didn't you promise me and my mother and I have lunch together today? I'm so hungry."
Shi Shouzhen smiled and stood up, saying, "An Shou, my father is busy with government affairs, so I forgot about the meal. Let's go, my father will accompany you to have a meal."
An Shou stepped forward and grabbed Shi Shouzhen's hand. The father and daughter walked back with laughter. Princess An Shou asked, "What big thing does the father handle? Did you even forget about the meal?"
"I am just about to determine the top scorer in the current academic year. Do you think it is important?"
"Oh, An Shou immediately became interested. He has seen countless stories of top scorers in the play. The talented man and beautiful woman are the most attractive to a girl as big as An Shou. An Shou asked: "Who has he chosen? Was it Wei Youcheng? He said last time that he could win the top scorer."
Shi Shouzhen was both happy and moved when she looked at her daughter who was almost tall. My family had a daughter who had just grown up. Could it be that An Shou fell in love with Wei Youcheng? If so, she might as well help them. However, An Shou was still young and had to stay with me for at least one or two years.
Unknown to Shi Shouzhen's thoughts, An Shou continued to ask excitedly: "Is anyone winning three yuan in a row?"
The poor scholar who watched the show in the previous few times won three yuan in a row, such as Jie Yuan, Hui Yuan and the top student, and finally married a lady with Hui Yan, who knew talented people, and slapped his father-in-law who was very rich. Princess An Shou was relieved to watch.
Shi Shouzhen was stunned and replied: "No one has won three yuan in a row since the founding of the Great Zheng Dynasty."
"How can that be done?" Princess Anshou became anxious, "Father, you are a wise and famous king of divine martial arts throughout the ages. How could you not have won the top scorer in a row?"
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, An Shou's words touched Shi Shouzhen's weakness. Yes, I want to do a career that my predecessors have not done and create the prosperous era of my Great Zheng Dynasty. Maybe start with this successive three yuan. I know that Jiang Anyi was Jie Yuan when he was in Dezhou, and he won Hui Yuan again in the imperial examination. This palace examination has outstanding literary achievements. The article "Theory of Wei" is the best. Could this person be given to me by God?
