Is this Hanlin Academy really a place for prime ministers? The longer you stay in the Hanlin Academy, the more Yang Cong doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

The Hanlin Academy colleagues he met didn't seem to be very good in the officialdom, and they didn't have the attitude of soaring into the cabinet at all. Judging from their experience, they seemed to be about to be stepped to death!

Luo Hongxian, Tang Shunzhi, and Zhao Shichun are actually not the worst. Some people and things he learned later are terrifying.

Originally, he did not deliberately inquire about these things, but by chance he saw the miserable aspects of the current Hanlin Academy officials.

This opportunity was brought by Zhao Shichun, because in the past few days, Gong Yongqing, the top scholar in the Bingxu Certificate in the fifth year of Jiajing, was promoted to the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing. From the sixth rank to the fourth rank of the Imperial College, he naturally had to celebrate it. Zhao Shichun and Gong Yongqing were both in the same subject and colleagues, and naturally received invitations.

Yang Cong felt that this was a good opportunity, so he happened to drink, chat and enhance his relationship with other colleagues from the Hanlin Academy. So he prepared a generous gift, took Luo Hongxian and Tang Shunzhi with him, and followed Zhao Shichun.

The salaries of officials of the Hanlin Academy are not high at this moment, because their grades are there. Even the highest grades of the Hanlin Academy are only the fifth grade, and the others are almost sixth grade and seventh grade, so the salary is naturally not much higher.

The same is true for Gong Yongqing. He only has a salary of 20 or 30 taels a year, so the place where he treats guests is not very high-end, that is, a restaurant with private rooms. This level is nothing in the capital.

The person he invited was just colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, including Zhao Shichun, who were either editors or editors, and his grade was not very high.

Yang Cong thought that Gong Yongqing would invite a large group of people to celebrate. Unexpectedly, when he walked into the private room, he saw that there were only three people in it, and these four seemed to account for half of them.

What's going on?

While he was wondering, the protagonist Gong Yongqing had already stood up to meet him. He quickly followed Zhao Shichun and others to congratulate him: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Lord Gong for his success."

Gong Yongqing seemed to be not very interested. He pretended to be smiling and politely, invited everyone to the table, and then raised his glass and said, "Okay, everyone is here. Thank you for your appreciation. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

Is this all there?

There are only seven people in total!

Yang Cong stood up blankly and clinked with everyone, then couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gong, are we the only ones?"

Gong Yongqing seemed a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to interfere, but Zhao Shichun smiled and said, "What's wrong? Qingfeng, you still don't think it's enough. The top scholar who can be present in Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties have arrived, which is so grand enough."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yongqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, the two top scholars can appreciate their faces, and Gong is very grateful."

What does this mean? Yang Cong was even more confused. The Zhengde Dynasty had been in total for 16 years. It was the 14th year of Jiajing, and the 30 years in total. At least nine top scholars were produced. There were only three of them here. How could it be said that all those who could get it were arrived?

He couldn't help but curiously, "Where are the other top scorers?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shichun seemed to be excited. He said enthusiastically: "This question is good, why don't we use it as a wine order. There are nine top scorers in Zhengde Dynasty, and there are three of us here. Except for Qingfeng, there are six people left. In this way, starting from Lord Gong, each of us will say one. If we can't explain it clearly, we will punish three glasses of wine. If we explain it clearly, Qingfeng will accompany you."

Gong Yongqing felt the atmosphere was a bit dull, and it seemed that it was quite good to make a drink. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let me first, Lord Lu Nan, the top scholar in Wuchen in the third year of Zhengde, is now serving as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing."

He fainted and was still the top scholar in Nanjing's Right Assistant Minister of Rites. He only knew that the Left Assistant Minister of Rites was Zhan Ruoshui, and he really didn't know who the Right Assistant Minister of Rites was. He had to drink this wine. He took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and fucked Gong Yongqing.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shichun said, "Okay, it's my turn. In the sixth year of Zhengde, Mr. Yang Shen, the top scholar in Xinwei, was exiled to Yongchang Wei in Yunnan for offending Yan Zhigui. Lord Yang is so upright, he is really a role model for us!"

He fainted, Yang Shen, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, was demoted to Yunnan!

This is really a tragedy. He is the eldest son of Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet of a famous minister. Moreover, his talent is really amazing. "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes." This song that has been sung through the ages was made by Yang Shen.

Unfortunately, I was stubborn for a while and was exiled to the frontier.

Yang Cong sighed, then raised his glass and said, "Mr. Yang is so miserable. Come on, I will take this opportunity to give him a cup."

Immediately afterwards, Luo Hongxian said: "It's time for me to be ugly. In the ninth year of Zhengde, the top scholar of the Jiaxu Certificate, Tang Gao, unfortunately passed away in the fifth year of Jiajing."

Death, dead!

Yang Cong was speechless and could only raise his glass to have sex with Luo Hong first.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Shunzhi interrogated: "In the 12th year of Zhengde, the top scholar of Dingchou, Lord Shu Fenshu, was demoted and even sent to the imperial prison for committing many crimes against Yan Zhi's advice. Finally, he became depressed and became ill, and he left in the tenth year of Jiajing."

Fainted and died again!

Yang Cong was a little dizzy when he drank, but he still raised his glass and had a drink with Tang Shunzhi.

Then Yang Weijie, the editor beside him, said again: "It's such a coincidence that the top scorer in Xinsi in the 15th year of Zhengde was really the younger brother Weicong. He was demoted to the local area for his crimes against Yan Zhigui, and he is now serving as the governor of Shandong."

Ah, why are you so unlucky? This guy’s younger brother happened to be the top scorer in Xinsi in the 15th year of Zhengde. It seems that today is about to be overturned.

Yang Cong had no choice but to raise his glass and have a drink with him.

Immediately afterwards, the one beside Yang Weijie said again: "Okay, it's up to me. Yao Laiyao, the top scholar in Guiwei in the second year of Jiajing, is now the bachelor's degree in our Hanlin Academy. However, due to his father's death, he went home to worry."

Oh, I don’t know this unlucky!

Yang Cong had no choice but to raise his glass and have a drink with him.

Next, the top scorer of the Bingxu Certificate in the fifth year of Jiajing was Gong Yongqing, the host of the invitation this time, and the top scorer of the Jichou Certificate in the eighth year of Jiajing was Luo Hongxian, so there is no need to say.

Finally, the one sitting on Gong Yongqing's right hand said relaxedly: "It's finally my turn. Lord Lin Daqinlin, the top scholar in the Renchen Department of Jiajing 11th year, is also our old acquaintance. Unfortunately, he saw through the faces of Zhang Cong, Xia Yan and others, and knew that the officialdom was difficult, so he simply resigned and went home to support his parents!"

Yang Cong was so anxious that he could not cry. He originally thought that the nine top scorers in nearly thirty years were impossible for everyone to be familiar with, and there were always some wrong answers, so Zhao Shichun said that he didn't say anything when he used this to drink.

Unexpectedly, these people actually knew the whereabouts of these top scorers over the years, and were careless.

He could only raise his glass helplessly and chat with someone another cup.

He was so drunk that he couldn't get enough to drink six cups. Unexpectedly, Gong Yongqing raised his glass and said, "Oh, nowadays, it may not be a blessing to be admitted to the top scorer. I may not have the chance to go back to Beijing when I go to Nanjing. Come on, I'll give you another cup."

Damn, what do you mean? What's wrong with me on purpose?

Yang Cong was already drunk now and didn't even think about what Gong Yongqing's sentence meant.

Isn’t it a blessing to be admitted to the top scorer these days?
