Dayan's Wendian was held in the Jinluan Hall, the emperor asked questions in person, and the tributes answered on the spot.
His Majesty the Emperor had something in his heart, so he did not come to the examinees to check their test papers as usual. In this way, everyone's sense of tension has been reduced a lot, and their performance has become more stable.
— After all, when the invigilator is staring at your test paper, it is the most nervous and blank minded time, and all those who have taken the test probably have a deep understanding of this.
The Wendian Examination started at Si time and continued until noon, a whole hour.
Near the end, the emperor suddenly became restless. He stepped down from the throne and came to the crowd.
The candidates suddenly became nervous.
The chief examiner of this session of the imperial examination is a pragmatic adult, and the articles passed are not beautiful and beautiful, but the kind that have something to say. However, for a scholar to study hard, it is easy to say something, but it is difficult to be realistic.
They can put forward practical ideas, but it would be difficult for them to cite reliable data and situations.
However, His Majesty's topic today is still linked to these actual situations.
He himself didn't expect everyone to be able to say one, two, three, four, but he just used it to examine the extent of everyone's understanding of the living conditions of the people.
The officials Fu Yanjun wants to promote are those who do practical things, are anxious about the needs of the people, and feel the suffering of the people, not those who play tricks every day. Candidates don't need to understand these, but they must show an attitude of willingness to understand.
He won't like those wild and unconstrained imaginations.
The article can tell a person's character, whether the other party is really willing to understand or is perfunctory, His Majesty the Emperor thinks he can still tell.
He stood aside and read the test papers of several candidates who were writing hard, with a calm expression on his face. Everyone didn't dare to look up at his face, they could only force themselves to concentrate on answering the test paper, with sweat beading from the corners of their foreheads.
His Majesty the Emperor paused, left the poor little examinee, and came to the examinee before him.
This examinee was handsome and gentle, aged in his twenties, he was considered young among all the examinees. The emperor had also read his previous examination papers, and he admired this person very much. If there were no accidents, this person would be Tanhua.
In the future, Tanhualang writes like a cloud, eloquently. After finishing the draft, he swayed it out with confidence. Even if His Majesty the Emperor stayed by his side for a long time, he did not see any nervousness.
The adults around you who co-invigilated the exam couldn't help but show a look of approval.
At the beginning of noon, the palace examination was over, and His Majesty held a royal banquet. At the end of lunch, His Majesty the Emperor and other lords personally corrected the examination papers, and the tributes waited tremblingly.
Dayan's palace examination rules are quite different from those of other eras, such as the correction of examination papers. Dayan made corrections directly after the exam, and the head eunuch sealed the name, etc., and then ten adults circulated the reply.
Moreover, Dayan's imperial examination was more difficult than the general ones. There were only a hundred tributes in the first round, and there were only 20 candidates who stood out in the imperial examination.
There are a hundred test papers for a hundred tributes, and each person is divided into ten. After the approval, exchange each other until all the test papers are approved.
There are five marks in total, representing different points. After each correction, the reviewer draws a mark. Finally, the chief eunuch counted the ten marks and presented the test papers to His Majesty the Emperor one by one according to the scores.
His Majesty's reading is very fast, he only needs to read the first thirty chapters carefully, and glance at the next seventy chapters in a hurry.
His Majesty the Emperor trusted the ministers he selected to mark the papers, and the ministers did not disappoint him. The speed of marking the test papers was very fast, but there were no mistakes or omissions.
His Majesty the Emperor drew up the top three from the correction at noon to the time of application.
There are three first-class Jinshi, No. 1, No. 2, and Tanhua. There are seven second-class Jinshis, ten third-class Jinshis, and the remaining seventy are unsuccessful.
His Majesty the Emperor was not in a hurry to decide on the ranking of the three after he selected Yijia. After all, it is reasonable to say that Tanhua is the best-looking one, so His Majesty the Emperor first removed the wax seal on the name, and under the guidance of the Chief Eunuch, Recognized who these three people were.
In this way, it is possible to choose the ranking of each of the three.
Seeing His Majesty's eyes sweeping down, the people below immediately stood up straighter, not daring to move.
The emperor put the one who had been considered Tanhua at the top of the test paper, and this person really made it into the top three. It seems that this year's Tan Hua Lang finally got his hands on it, and he is no longer a bad old man or a middle-aged uncle like in previous years.
His Majesty the Emperor was in a happier mood, and first asked the chief eunuch to announce the top three, and then announced the top two.
The person who heard his name breathed a sigh of relief. Although the second and third bests did not sound as good as the first, but in Dayan, the top three is not a consolation prize. As long as Dayan is a Jinshi, he has a bright future, especially when the current Majesty is in power.
Some well-informed people couldn't help but look at that handsome man.
I heard that this man was Xieyuan in the provincial examination, and he won Huiyuan in the previous examination. Everyone didn't think that he was a failure, but that he should be in the first class. But the specific location is hard to say.
If you win the first prize, you will be ranked first in three yuan, and the lintel will shine brightly. However, I heard that His Majesty does not pay much attention to this kind of "good omen", so he may not deliberately make him the champion in order to get a three-yuan prize.
——For example, now, His Majesty the Emperor wants to arrange for Tanhua Lang to be Tanhua.
After the list of the second class was announced, the first class was promulgated by the emperor himself. He picked up the test paper and was just about to say something, when a notification sound came from outside, and he was beaming.
"Report to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has given birth to a prince!"
The anger that His Majesty had just mentioned suddenly filled his throat. After coughing twice, he waved his hand to let the little eunuch who reported the news go aside, and announced the results of the imperial examination first.
Then he opened his mouth and subconsciously read according to the name on the test paper: "No. 1 Scholar, Xie Lingfeng."
After speaking, he was stupid himself.
The handsome man Xie Lingfeng was not surprised, he knelt down to thank him.
His Majesty the Emperor accidentally made a slip of the tongue: "..."
It's all my fault that I just put Xie Lingfeng's test paper first, and then subconsciously announced it from the top scorer.
His majesty the emperor's golden words, it seems that... I can't go back on my word...
During Fu Yanjun's reign, the first Sanyuan and No. 1 Scholar Lang was born with honor. The original No. 1 pick naturally became the No. 2 pick, and the No. 2 pick became the No. 1 pick.
To be honest, both No. 2 and Tanhua look a little old. Although I am not sorry, but compared with Zhuangyuan Lang, it looks a bit horrible. But after this year's "Tanhua" was once again untrue, the gossip in the capital might turn into "His Majesty may have aesthetic problems".
Yes, there is no need to doubt, the people who spread this kind of gossip are the people from Fengyi Palace and Jianjia Palace. Especially a certain noble concubine who took the lead, she was simply hideous.
After the ranking of the imperial examination was announced, the imperial examination was completely over. His Majesty the Emperor left behind a bunch of freshly baked Jinshi, and took the young eunuchs to Jianjia Palace, and the ministers also retreated tactfully after congratulating His Majesty on the birth of a precious son.
His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, was born in a noble family, and he was stuck at the time of the palace examination, and was even born when Jinshi was selected. Once such news spread, one could predict how big the reaction would be.
This is an excellent sign, just like being born with auspiciousness. If the middle palace remains childless, then the eldest son of the emperor, who is backed by the noble concubine and the Shen family, will become the most powerful candidate for the crown prince.
At this moment, Shen Guifei was holding her son and talking to the princess.
The concubine really had a difficult labor, and she has been tossing for thirteen and a half hours, which is twenty-seven hours. But fortunately, there is ginseng soup to suspend his life, and there are pills stuffed by Concubine Shen Gui, so he is in good spirits after giving birth.
At this moment, she still has half an hour to take a good look at her child. After half an hour, the effect of the medicine wears off, and she is afraid that she will never be alive again.
The concubines outside had already left, and the smiles on their faces could hardly be maintained when they left.
Concubine Shen's delivery was over, mother and child were safe, their prayers had no effect at all, and Shen Yuqing gave birth to a son.
That is the eldest son of the emperor!
From now on, who else in the palace would dare to confront the imperial concubine
When His Majesty the Emperor arrived, what he saw was a happy family.
Concubine Shen placed the child beside the princess, who was half lying down, looking at her son tenderly. Shen Yuqing sat down with the Empress, talking in a low voice from time to time.
The atmosphere is very warm, if one ignores the fact that the princess is about to die.
Seeing that the emperor came down, the princess looked at him gratefully.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the soft baby and suddenly felt a heavy responsibility. He nodded solemnly and promised, "I will treat him like my own son."
It is "I" not "I".
Although Shen Yuqing didn't think that the emperor could fulfill the responsibilities of a father, it was estimated that the country was more important than the child on his side. But at this moment, she will not demolish His Majesty the Emperor.
The princess was relieved and smiled even more happily.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the time limit of one hour came, the princess closed her eyes safely and passed away.
The little baby who was lying beside him happily eating his hands didn't know if he felt something, and suddenly burst into tears. Shen Yuqing and Fu Qiushui hurried up to hug him and coax him, but the baby still refused to fall asleep until he was tired from crying.
His Majesty the Emperor was relieved when he saw this. He watched for a long time, but couldn't help at all, and was always blocked by the two people. Fortunately, the baby stopped crying, otherwise he would have one head and two big ones, and his whole body would be in trouble.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had never raised a child before, looked at the sleeping little devil and was shamefully cowardly.
Fortunately, he found a mother for his son, otherwise... just thinking about it makes me despair...
The news that Shen Guifei gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor quickly spread throughout the capital, and the entire Shen family was filled with joy. Mrs. Shen handed over the sign and entered the palace the next day, seeing Concubine Shen walking around the room with a doll in her arms, she was a little dazed.
"Why isn't your empress lying on the bed..." she asked grumblingly.
Concubine Shen sat down on the soft couch: "What am I lying on? I don't have to confine myself, the child was not born by me."
Mrs. Shen was at a loss for a moment, and then suddenly figured it out. She didn't ask too much, just walked over to tease the eldest son of the emperor.
The child was not afraid of life, and grinned at Mrs. Shen with a toothless smile.
Mrs. Shen fell in love with him when she saw it, and wanted to hug him. Seeing this, Shen Yuqing stuffed the child into her arms without any hesitation.
Mrs. Shen gave birth to two children, and when it comes to raising children, she is much better than the half-hearted Shen Yuqing.
Mrs. Shen patted and coaxed casually, and the baby fell asleep happily. He smacked his lips happily in his sleep, not knowing what delicious food he had dreamed of.
Although, he may not have eaten delicious food, at most he dreamed of drinking sweet breast milk.
"This nanny..." Madam Shen softly asked Concubine Shen while coaxing her.
The issue of the baby's nanny is very important and cannot be ignored. Regardless of whether Shen Yuqing was the biological mother or not, generally speaking, she would not let the biological mother breastfeed herself, and instead hired a wet nurse.
The nannies specially found are very qualified and excellent, no matter in terms of health or other aspects, so that the milk produced by them is the best for babies to drink. Some birth mothers themselves are not very healthy, so they are not suitable for breastfeeding.
Naturally, Shen Yuqing didn't need to worry about this. The Empress Dowager had already found a suitable nanny, and she found several of them to breastfeed the child in turn. These nannies have undergone strict scrutiny.
His Majesty even called in the female guards who used to monitor Concubine De, Concubine Mi and other abandoned concubines to monitor them all the time to make sure everything was safe.
Children are still young, accidents are easy to happen, and one hundred and twenty thousand must be careful.
Mrs. Shen was relieved when she heard that both the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor had handled the matter. It's hard to say anything else. If the emperor wants to protect a person, it's not easy for someone to take advantage of his loopholes.
"That's good." Mrs. Shen carefully put the baby into the crib, "Is there anyone around you who will take care of the baby?"
Concubine Shen nodded: "There are a few nuns."
"Then there is no problem." Mrs. Shen smiled and touched the baby's lanugo, thinking about whether to make some small clothes for the baby.
When I get older, I like grandchildren. There is a grandson Shen Liyi in the family, and a grandson and granddaughter outside Beijing. They have not been born for a long time. Seeing the little prince now, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with love.
Shen Guifei shook her head and declined Madam Shen's kindness.
Clothes are easily tampered with, and it is difficult to find out who has done what during transportation. Instead of this, it is better to use the fabrics in Shen Yuqing's private warehouse and let the maids of Jianjia Palace and Fengyi Palace make clothes for the children by themselves, and don't let the embroiderers of Liushang Bureau do it.
Mrs. Shen took it very seriously and didn't force it. Having seen Concubine Shen and the eldest son of the emperor, seeing that they were living well, she didn't stay any longer and left soon.
And here, because of Concubine Shen's decision, many concubines' ways to do it were blocked. They were extremely angry, but during this time Concubine Shen Gui was "confinement", she couldn't see anyone at all, and there was no place to give them a few sarcastic words to vent her anger.
On the day of Xisan, no one else was allowed to enter Jianjia Palace, only the empress, empress dowager and the emperor came down to watch the ceremony.
It doesn't have to be a big deal to wash three books, so no one can gossip about it. The baby's resistance is weak, so after washing it soon, wrap him in a warm swaddle to avoid catching cold.
On the day before the full moon, the eldest son of the emperor made an exception and was directly included in the imperial jade certificate, as if His Majesty the emperor was not worried that the child would die young.
"This is my eldest son." His Majesty the Emperor replied to the dissident courtiers, "My first son in six years."
The fifteen-year-old emperor has only one daughter so far. It's not easy to have a son, what's wrong with pampering him
Those who say that children are easy to die and should not be recorded in the imperial jade too early, do you want to curse my precious son to die
There was a complete silence in the hall, and no one dared to recognize him.
His Majesty the Emperor firmly believed that those who were contradictory would want the child to die young, and that being recorded in the jade ultimatum could guarantee the child's long-term survival. Not to mention whether there is a problem with this logic, anyway, His Majesty the Emperor said so, if you insist on confronting him, then wait for your own bad luck.
Recently, the courtiers who have seen a lot of the emperor's willfulness shut up silently.
It's just a jade ultimatum, it's better for them not to get involved in the emperor's housework. In case His Majesty the Emperor turned around and dissed them "like a gossip", he had to take care of everything.
Lord Shen was there throughout the whole process, and when His Majesty left, he said goodbye to his colleagues with a smile on his face, so happy that his beard was about to stand up. Then he walked briskly home to share the good news with his wife.
The second day was the full moon banquet, Concubine Shen finally didn't have to pretend to be a confinement woman, and could go out to get some fresh air.
Putting on nice dresses, to be honest, from the appearance, I can't see any appearance of "more motherly brilliance and femininity after giving birth". I don't know if the buffs written in the novels after the heroines become mothers really exist, anyway, Concubine Shen Gui can't pretend.
She can only blushed and put on a red face for you (?).
Fortunately, none of the women in the palace had ever given birth to a child. Those who had had children were either like the queen mother who had passed away for many years and were about to become "old men", or those who had had children like Mrs. Wan had already been out of the game. Everyone was in the same place, and no one could see that there was anything wrong with anyone, so everything was fine, and the concubines had no doubts.
A group of women who have no children and are jealous of the concubines who have children have to pretend to congratulate Concubine Shen Gui with fake smiles, and ignore the scrutinizing eyes of other ladies next to them, feeling very irritable.
These ladies who came to the full moon banquet are going to watch their children! If not, go and see Concubine Shen Gui! Stare at them to see what they are doing! It's not that they don't want to have children!
Well, after seeing the posture of the imperial concubine giving birth, everyone is indeed a little apprehensive about giving birth. But when they thought that a mother is more expensive than a child, they were full of fighting spirit.
It's just a little fear, it's okay. In order to become a master, the pain and danger of having a child are nothing.
The premise is that they can be born.
Mrs. Shu touched her lower abdomen, which had not moved until now, and stared at the fat baby in Shen Yuqing's arms with red eyes.
The eldest son of the emperor had never been seen by them since he was born, and the concubine didn't have much time to live at that time, so how could he waste time taking the child out for them to see? Later, no one was allowed to enter or leave the Jianjia Palace, and he couldn't even see it. Naturally, he didn't know that the little prince had grown from a thin and weak little boy to a white and fat baby in just twenty days.
They only looked at the baby's cuteness and exquisiteness, and their hearts were sour with jealousy.
A group of wives gathered around Concubine Shen to say compliments, and they opened their mouths without blinking, for example: "This child really looks like Your Majesty, with this nose, and these eyes. But the mouth is like a mother, and when he grows up, he will definitely fascinate a group of children." girl."
Concubine Shen Gui could only pretend that there was nothing wrong with what they said, and agreed with a smile.
It looks like a ball of yarn, this doll has nothing to do with the two of them, and if it looks like it, there must be a ghost.
However, Concubine Shen is not worried about being said that the child is not like the emperor's child when she grows up. After all, it is not so easy for the civet cat to be replaced by the prince in the palace. Don't you see that His Majesty the Emperor, Li Daitao, has been stiff for so many years, and no one said that he doesn't look like the late emperor
Well, when he was a child, Fu Yanjun was indeed very similar to the real prince, and also to the former emperor. But when he grows up, he becomes less and less like the empress. Instead, he resembles the empress.
It was said that they were husband and wife, but who would have thought that they were siblings
His Majesty the Emperor has never been questioned because of his "resemblance when he was a child". As long as her son looks like his own father, or his own grandfather, or his own great-grandfather, he will not be questioned. This is the real great-grandson of the late emperor. Well, now that he has become a real grandson, he is caught off guard by a generation, but there should still be some resemblance...
You must know that King Xian looked very much like the late Emperor back then, he was the most like one of his grandchildren, and he was very much loved by the late Emperor. And because of poor health, before his death, the first emperor specially granted him the title of idle king, so that he could be a wealthy idler and take good care of his health.
As a result, within a few years, the idle king also went.
The wives didn't see Concubine Shen's complaints at all, and kept praising the child as an emperor. It directly caused the jealousy of other concubines to be almost beyond recognition. The last thing they would listen to was the words that other women's children looked like the emperor.
Inexplicably, Concubine Shen Gui, who drew a lot of hatred again, said that she was used to it. There are too many lice and it is not ticklish, let those women be jealous.
Compared to these innocuous jabs, Concubine Shen felt that it was more troublesome to deal with these overly enthusiastic wives. Really getting impatient, Concubine Shen Guifei used the excuse of being tired, and went down to rest with the child in her arms.
The imperial concubine has always been capricious. As the protagonist of the full moon banquet, if she left the venue early, although everyone complained in their hearts, they dared not show it on their faces. Who let His Majesty the Emperor spoil her? Doing willful things one after another for her, anyway, the whole capital now knows that Concubine Shen Gui cannot be provoked.
The author has something to say: The eldest son is born, although the name has not been decided yet _(:з」∠)_
