On the day of the trial release, the capital was shaken.
Not to mention others, the examiner Yin Zhi opened the seal, and when he saw the word Cui Xie on the front of the scroll, he couldn't help but stagnate for a while, and regretted in his heart: How did he win this enemy!
This is Li Dongyang's disciple. A few months ago, Li Dongyang wrote a book to discuss the harem affairs and caused them so much trouble. He still has the title and hatred, and he actually won Li Dongyang's disciple as Huiyuan!
Before, he still thought that this student called him to be the winner, and he would definitely appreciate the kindness of his talent. In the future, he would have to respectfully call him a teacher and listen to him in the court... But he is Li Dongyang's student! After reading his article, you can see that this person's temperament was carved out of the same mold as Li Dongyang!
Yin Zhi was slightly angry in his heart, and secretly hated that he had not noticed for a while, but chose such a deadly person as Huiyuan. Since he was promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he has always followed the central decree, relying on the heart of the emperor. If Cui Xie also learns from his sutra teacher in the future, and if something goes wrong, he will anger the emperor, and his own teacher will also follow him!
Fortunately, he is only a Hui Yuan, not a champion, and he still works during the palace exam...
It was also the deputy chief examiner who filled the list. When Yin Zhi was secretly lucky there, Wu Kuan correctly filled in the words "Cui Xie Yongping House, Qian'an County Ren Guozi Jiansheng" in the first place on the list.
The two examiners also had to present the written yellow list to the imperial court, but the emperor of Chenghua never liked to see his ministers, so he only asked the supervisor of li and the eunuch Tan to collect the list and forward it to the emperor.
There were 350 people in the test list, and they were all written in one piece, but the name at the top of the list was the most conspicuous, and it was reflected in the eyes of the emperor.
Choi Seop.
There is no need to add any identities such as Li Dongyang's disciple or Guozijian student. With only these two words, the Emperor Chenghua remembered his appearance, recalled that he had called himself into the palace to play right, and was ordered to tell the prince. Learn once.
He is a beautiful scholar who is not very good at writing poetry, and likes to teach people to read.
The emperor had a good impression of him, pointed out his name, and asked Tan and the second-year eunuch: "Yes, Qian'an prodigy, isn't Cui?"
Eunuch Gao's face was full of brilliance, and he replied with honor: "It's the Qian'an Cui Xie whom the emperor summoned! He really lived up to the emperor's teaching and encouragement, and when he went back, he learned that he studied hard and topped the high school rankings!"
Eunuch Tan was not far behind, and hurriedly praised: "Since it was the emperor who gave it to Sheng Ming, his eyes are like a torch, and he can see at a glance that he is a real talent. In exchange for slaves and other mediocre generation, how dare you believe that a fourteen-year-old is a serious student. Young man, in a few years, you will be able to become a club member!"
The emperor of Chenghua has always liked child prodigies. Li Dongyang, Cheng Minzheng and others have been rewarded and rewarded. He also made Yang Yiqing and Liu Wei, the son of Liu Jue's former assistant, as Zhongshu Sheren, allowing them to enter and leave the palace. Although Cui Xie had never received the kindness of Yang and Liu, he had once taught a lesson for the prince as a scholar, which was unprecedented.
The emperor thought about the past, and also felt that he had taught Cui Xie a lot. He could be admitted to Huiyuan today, but he did not live up to his love.
The emperor smiled slightly, gave a soft "um", and continued to look down. The second place is Jiangxi Cheng Kai, the third place is Zhili Changzhou Jiang Hao, the fourth place is Jiangxi Fei Hong, the fifth place... The fifth place is actually a student of Shuntian Prefecture and Meng Kui from Jizhou County!
In the past, people from Beizhili would be on the list only after they had obtained more than a dozen top 20s, and they were all students of the Imperial College, but this time, students from one prefecture would overwhelm a group of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Fujian students and won the fifth place! Cui Xie was taught by the Son of Heaven, so it is not surprising to have this achievement. This Meng Kui was squeezed into the Jingkui as a student of the government, which is really unexpected...
Looking further down, the names of the scholars of Beizhili, especially Shuntian and Yongping, have also appeared many times. Together, there are twenty or thirty people, which is unprecedented since the founding of the country!
How did the students in Beizhili do so well this year? Fei Hong, who placed fourth, was also studying in Beijian. Could it be that he has returned to the north
The emperor asked Tan and Gao without realizing it.
Eunuch Tan couldn't save his mind for a while, and he had to think about it, but Eunuch Gao used his heart a few times on Cui Xie and knew that he had written the scientific examination notes. I heard that there was a "Notes on Imperial Examinations" that became popular in Beijing in the past six months. It was Cui Xie who collected the sermons of the instructors of the Imperial College, asked someone to print them into a book, and asked the Hanlin to write the questions..."
Tan Tai inspected Yan Guanse and saw that the Son of Heaven seemed to like listening to it, so he hurriedly interjected: "This is from the Imperial College and the Hanlin, and the slaves and servants admire it. How can ordinary scholars listen to their explanations? Now the students have seen this Books, just like getting a good teacher, wouldn’t the essays get better? Cui Xie can print such books to the students all over the world, and it’s really worth the painstaking effort of the emperor to ask him to write questions for the young master.”
The emperor felt the same way, and smiled lightly: "If he can become a Hanlin, he can teach the prince."
Jane is in the heart of the emperor, nothing is more than that. With the words of the Son of Heaven, as long as Cui Xie does not commit any taboos in the future, he will surely embark on a road to heaven!
Eunuch Tan wrote down these words, and quietly called someone out to pass a sentence to the examiner Yin Zhi.
The performance of the students in the north of the kennel exam has been greatly improved. In the emperor's view, it is only a small thing to be happy about. However, when the Yellow List was posted outside the Gongyuan, and Zhujuzi looked at the names and origins of the people on the list, it caused a great uproar.
Candidates from Qian'an County, Northern Zhili were admitted to Huiyuan!
The students from Guozijian, Shuntianfu, Yongpingfu, Beizhili... and even the entire Beijuan District felt proud of themselves. The students in the southern province of scientific research seemed to be hit by a head-on attack, and they were unwilling to find people everywhere to inquire about Cui Xie, wondering why he was able to take the exam.
Yes, he got the Xiaosanyuan case, but it was a small county in the countryside where he couldn't get a jinshi for three years in Qian'an. How many decent candidates could he pick
He was the eighth in the township examination, but how does the northern Zhili township examination compare to their southern Zhili, Jiangxi, and Fujian township examinations
He is a student of Li Dongyang, but I heard that he has only been under the Li family for a year, and Li Xueshi is famous all over the world, but he does not even have a poem that people can sing.
He had written the imperial examination notes, but the notes were given by famous teachers of the Imperial College, and the title of the chapter was written by Hanlin. He only took the works of these famous teachers and compiled them into a book! There are his answers in the reference answers attached to the "Notes on Imperial Examinations" series, and the text can only be regarded as bland and neutral, not much better than other answerers...
Why is he Huiyuan? Jiangxi Feihong, who was in the same exam with him, also participated in answering the questions in the notes, and he answered it better than him!
The southerners are unbelievable, especially the fallen ones, adhering to their long-standing fine traditions, they protested outside the Gongyuan gate one after another.
This question naturally came to Fei Hong's uncle and nephew.
Fei Hong's fifth uncle, Fei Rui, had a name in Beijian, but he returned to study in Lead Mountain for the past two years. He didn't know much about Cui Xie, so he had to ask his nephew. Fei Xiaojieyuan called many friends from his hometown and well-known talents around him to ask questions, but his expression was very natural, and he said calmly: "Brother He Zhongxian is not as talented as me, and he is also elegant and elegant, and it is unexpected to be able to meet Yuan. middle."
how come!
A student from Jiangxi shouted: "His explanation of the meaning of the scriptures in the answer is not as deep as yours!"
Fei Hong frowned and asked: "He came up with those topics, and tried every means to get Jijiu, Siye, and the instructors to be willing to publish books. Without him, even I wouldn't have the achievements I have now, brother. Since Taiwan has also read his book and gained something from it, why should he use evil words against the person who wrote it?"
He is able to publish books, and he is able to quiz questions. Maybe those who teach may not be able to do well in exams...
After all, he is a person from the small county town of Northern Zhili...
All kinds of questions piled up in front of Fei Hong, he only shook his head, and even said a little displeased: "If you are worried about your failure, why don't you buy a few sets of books and take them back to study day and night, and you will also compete for the title of the gold medal list, how can you be jealous of others? !"
He was so rude that the people who came to his house to discuss the injustice of the imperial examination were also embarrassed and angry, so they had to say goodbye to their uncles and nephews.
Ferry sent the man back and persuaded him in embarrassment: "You are too rude to say that just now, after all, you are all villagers, and you have good intentions for you. Even if you are not afraid of people blaming you, you should think about the brotherhood of the Hu clan. I won't be criticized behind your back because of you..."
Fei Hong said bluntly: "I can't always go along with their words. Wouldn't I be able to ask the prince to be selected as a companion for the exam and to do those questions from the Hanlin Academy, all of which are the benefits of peace? How to repay, at least you can't look at people and say that his is not right?"
Instead, like an elder, he pressed his uncle's shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "Five uncles, it is the biggest happy event for our uncle and nephew to be on the apricot list together in this subject. Now that we haven't passed the palace exam, let's just study. For the most important thing, don't bear the hard work of retaking the exam for the past three years."
He first dissipated the crowd with malicious words, and then closed the door to study. Those people couldn't persuade him, so he went to Cheng Kai, who would be second in the test, and asked him fiercely how he could tolerate a northern barbarian on his head.
Cheng Kai was calm by nature, even if he was surrounded by so many people, he was not in a hurry. He reflected on the short process of communicating with Cui Xie, and slowly said: "Although I have known Brother Cui Nian for a short time, I saw him young, handsome and gentle. Makes me feel ashamed."
Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history.
He didn't say much, but he tactfully and firmly refuted the sarcasm in those people's words. For him, the title of Huiyuan is indeed attractive, but it is not strong enough to allow him to slander a young scholar with outstanding talents and good character, who makes people like him.
He also advised those who gave advice: "I've heard his articles, and it's true that I know people well. If everyone thinks that his talent is not called the name of Huiyuan, why don't they try to print it in the collection of ink and ink, and do it for themselves. A look?"
Naturally, it was because a northerner occupied the position of Huiyuan, and those northerners would blow the sky to pieces, as if in the future, the talents of the Ming Dynasty would all come from the north, to suppress their southerners... When they heard that, they were angry on the spot, who would return Can wait until the ink comes out!
Cheng Kai felt the anger of the crowd, and hurriedly reassured him: "This matter was told by others, why do you need to anger Cui Xie? He is a humble gentleman, and he must not have such thoughts."
A juzi said: "I'm not waiting to express my anger, I just want to see if his article is worthy of the name of this club, and I just want to understand and be fair. Brother Cheng, it's not that we don't want to be nice, it's that he Sun closed the door and refused to see anyone - if you are not ashamed in your heart, why would you be here! Now that Uncle and Nephew Fei Jingkui also closed the door and refused to accept us, we couldn't think of it until we found you."
Cheng Kai couldn't help admiring Fei Hong's insight, but unfortunately he didn't have the courage and foresight to drive such a group of people out of the house, so he had to be a villain... Go and ask Cui Xie's seven articles to clear his injustice.
He sighed slightly and told everyone about his plans. When even a few people stood up, they sighed: "Then ask Brother Cheng to silently write down his own article on the field, so that we can use it as a photo, and call it the number one talent in Zhengjinke!"
Cheng Kai sighed until half of his anger was stuck in his chest, and silently scolded himself in his heart "a lot of things".
Cui Xie could not be seen outside Juzi, but these Chinese Juren were going to perform the ceremony at the Ministry of Rites, preparing to enter the palace for an audience on February 28th.
On the day of the ceremony, in addition to salute according to the order, Cui Xie called five Qian'an Juzi to surround him tightly. There are also candidates from Yongping, Shuntian and other prefectures talking about how they got the inspiration for answering the questions from the imperial examination notes during the exam. They are all smug and high-spirited, which makes them seem like they are not as good as them. .
It's no wonder that so many people look awkward. In previous years, northerners envy their southerners.
After the ceremony, Cheng Kai found an opportunity to intervene among Cui Xie's fellow villagers. He first apologized for the slander that his fellow villagers had slandered him these days, and bowed his head in embarrassment, asking Cui Xie to silently write seven articles of his own. Good for showing off.
A pair of strong hands suddenly clasped the hands, and they held it tightly, causing a sudden shock in his heart. He raised his eyes nervously, but his eyes met a pair of bright eyes full of hope.
He opened his mouth slightly, just when he didn't know what to say, Cui Xie said with great passion, "Brother Cheng's suggestion is very good, I want to do it too, but I just don't know how to invite Brother Cheng to participate! My brother is planning to print a collection of Chenghua’s 23 years of experience in entering the jinshi and the examination room. In the collection, I will print your review experience and three essays on the subject in the same year. It’s just that I am not familiar with you in the south, so I don’t want to speak rashly. It's rare that a prestigious and talented person like Brother Cheng is willing to pre-empt this matter, so I will entrust Brother Cheng to persuade the younger brother to do something in the same year!"
"Me, me," Cheng Kai told him to clasp his hands tightly. He wanted to pull it out, he couldn't pull it out, he wanted to refuse, he was embarrassed, he wanted to run and he found it by himself, so there was no excuse to run. Fei Hong, who was on the side, also took the initiative to respond, "I am also willing to discuss this matter with my uncle." Those northern scholars even echoed, forcing him to be impatient, so he sighed: "Well, let me try it. …”
