Among the 30 Shuji Shi selected by Xinke's top three and Quan, there are still few people from the north, and the majority from the south. Most of the people are still enjoying the holiday with the owner, or they have just set foot on the return journey. Only Cui Xie and Guo Yong are from northern Zhili, so the holiday is short. As soon as the two-month holiday arrives, they have to go to the Hanlin Academy early. Onboarding.
Guo Yong was a concubine, and when he entered the Hanlin Academy, he followed the prince's right concubine Wang Xie and Zuo Yude Fu Han to study according to the rules, without having to ask Yin Xueshi. However, Cui Xie, the top scholar, wanted to ask Yin Zhi, the academician of the Zhang Academy, to bother and arrange a position for him.
If it was before the Enrong Banquet, Yin Xueshi would have dared to assign him an error-prone position, and he would be deported to another place under the handle. Somewhat apprehensive, for fear of letting him get in the way.
That is, the ten thousand heads are supplemented by the honor of a country's Zaifu, and if he wants to break his in-laws, he will write a letter asking his father to do it, but he does not dare to do it himself. Looking at the two examples in front of him, Yin Ge old didn't want to get involved in the muddy water, so he sent him to the secretary of Xiuzhong, just asking him not to be an eyesore in front of himself, and not to be seen in front of the emperor.
However, perhaps Cui Xie's life was too hard, and even the little wish of Yin Xueshi was not allowed to come true by God.
Shortly after Hanlin joined the office, it was the third day of the sixth lunar month, the day of the Sutra feast. Emperor Chenghua himself hadn't listened to the scripture feast for a long time, but he remembered telling the prince to study hard. When he saw that the Hanlin scholar Sir Yin invited the scripture banquet's memorial, he would always say, "Prince, how is your study?"
The eunuch, who was not very competent in the imperial palace, was always in charge of the eunuch Tan, and immediately responded: "Prince is smart, and reads very hard. After class, he still often uses self-exams. Several gentlemen often praise him for his diligence in learning and enlightenment."
Nowadays, there is no Concubine Wan and Liang and Wei two prisoners to fan the flames. Qin Chang and Gao eunuchs are both orthodox people. They say good things to the prince when they seize the opportunity. Every time I heard this, I would praise a few words and give me some new books, pen and paper, to show my love.
This time, because of the new jinshi entering the court, the emperor suddenly remembered that the prince has several companions who have passed the new jinshi in this subject, so he asked one more question: "How many are the companions, the middle test? If there are any shortages, you can Pick someone else."
Eunuch Gao didn't have a chance to show just now, so he hurriedly took advantage of this opportunity to reply: "Back to the emperor, the students who have passed the test in this subject are Cui Xie, Fei Hong, Qu Shen, and Zheng Zongren. Among them, Cui Fei is in Among the top three, he has been awarded the post of Hanlin, Qu and Shen was also selected among the Shuji Shi, but Zheng Zongren is the only one who observes politics in the Metropolitan Observatory."
Cui Xie is also a prodigy who was brought up by the emperor, and he also passed the test of two yuan. I remember, his house is not far."
Naturally, he came back. After visiting Beijing, he sent things to Gao Baihu's house, including some consecration amulets from various temples. For a filial son like Gao Baihu, he naturally had to pick up a good one and send it to his adoptive father. He even mentioned to him the rumor that Cui Xie could not marry a wife. Eunuch Gao felt pity for him for a while.
Even a eunuch like himself had to marry a wife and adopt a son to enjoy family happiness, but Cui Xie was a good man but had to be single. It's easy to endure when you're young, but when you're old, you don't have a caring child to take care of it, but how can you live
Eunuch Gao felt pity for him, and did not hesitate to say good things about him in front of the emperor: "Master Cui is very close, and he is eager to do errands for the emperor. In the Hanlin Academy, because Yin Xueshi saw that he was young, he asked him to read and study with a few Xiuju, so that he could serve the emperor in the future."
The emperor of Chenghua nodded his head, believing that Yin Gelao's arrangement was approved, and only added another sentence: "Since he is already a writer, he can be a book exhibition officer."
Although the emperor doesn't like to listen to his teacher's lectures, but as long as the classics and banquet system is still in place, there is a possibility that one day he will listen to it again. The times and the bad, the police are powerful, and the people who know their characters are the talents who are suitable to serve the emperor for inquiry!
In fact, the second place in this year's list is also a handsome young official. Unfortunately, he lives in Jiangxi, and he can't return to the court for two months. Let's make arrangements when he returns.
The emperor's words are the imperial decree, and Eunuch Gao personally preached it, and Yin Ge, the master of the academy, had to hold the decree full of grievances.
He managed to put Cui Xie in the place where there would be the least accident, thinking that he would be able to hold him down for more than ten years, but he didn't want to let him finish it for more than ten days. The emperor remembered Cui Xie and mentioned him specially. in a position of being able to face the saint. His wholehearted arrangement of feelings was in vain! There is no need for Li Dongyang and Li Xiya, Cui Xie himself is simply in the heart of the emperor, and he can climb up with only holy favor!
Yin Ge Lao vomited blood silently, and looked at the dazzling young Cui Zhuangyuan who was kneeling beside him to receive the will, and he felt a huge uneasiness in his heart.
He himself became a Hanlin bachelor from the right servant of the Ministry of Rites by relying on the central decree, and he is particularly aware of the power of the word "Sacred Heart"; looking at this younger generation who also came up with the Sacred Heart, he becomes more vigilant and unpleasant. Silently moved to suppress the heart.
Originally, I just wanted to let him sit on the bench for a few years, and it would be fine when he couldn't bear to transfer to the ministry. Now that there are such twists and turns, I don't have to put him down. I will give him a copy in a few days. Opportunity to make an essay. If he doesn't live up to his expectations, there are taboo omissions in the words he wrote...
However, now this pacifist envoy is stubborn, and seems to have some friendship with him, I am afraid that he will not be able to listen to the cabinet. Suo Gender was so troubled that he wanted to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, so he was disposed of in the courtyard, and asked him to let him go to the prefecture of the prefecture.
Yin Ge Lao himself wanted to play a trick in the palace, but unexpectedly, the day did not go according to his wishes, and he always disrupted his arrangements again and again.
This time, it wasn't that the emperor suddenly wanted to promote Cui Xie, but that the emperor suddenly suffered from diarrhea and became so aggressive that it overwhelmed all major events in the court.
Since Concubine Wan passed away, although Emperor Chenghua felt more than once that Concubine had gone, he couldn't live alone, but his body was actually fine, and he had always been suffering from heart disease. This time, the diarrhea came on urgently and severely. Since the emperor fell ill on August 13, he has not been able to see the DPRK, and he could not even perform the sacrificial ceremony in Fengtian Temple on August 15 and 16.
Although the central decree from the palace repeatedly stated that the diarrhea had stopped and that the sick body would only need to be recuperated for a few days, the emperor never saw the ministers again.
He grew up under the Queen Mother Zhou’s knees since childhood, and was a thorn in the eyes of the imperial concubine’s favorite concubine. Standing on the imperial steps, he first came into contact with the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty.
Never let go since.
His body was still thin and thin, and when he was dressed in court clothes to accept the ceremonies of the officials, he was calm and mature, and he was as dignified and dignified as the emperor who sat on the throne in the past.
He didn't speak much when he was facing up, and he always relied on the cabinet and asked the emperor for instructions when handling government affairs, and he didn't show much of his own intentions. But his eyes have already seen the thoughts of the officials in the court, and he is already planning in his heart how to use the old ministers who are willing to do practical things to change this dark court.
The three cabinet elders, Wan An, Liu Ji, and Yin Zhi, keenly felt the atmosphere of changing the dynasty. When Shang Shu reassured the emperor that he could live and recuperate, he also secretly slapped the prince with a flattery, saying that since he regarded the dynasty, Chinese and foreign " People are restless."
However, the crown prince still abide by his duty. After reading the memorial, he did not make any comments at all. He only asked his servants to extract the gist according to the example and present it to Emperor Chenghua for reading.
The emperor supported the sick body to reply to the old pavilion, but was unable to read other people's. In the next two or three days, the emperor only approved a few memorials to worship the gods according to the rules, and sent the lawsuit of the two princesses Yongqing and Jiaxiang over land disputes to Jinyiwei for investigation, which had exhausted the last effort.
On August 21st, Emperor Chenghua was bedridden and could not get up, so he no longer insisted on telling the eunuch to spread the peaceful words of "the disease has gradually diminished" and "don't worry about your peace", but called the prince to the bed and taught him. He is the way of the king.
Emperor Chenghua has been in the imperial court for 24 years, and it is not a big deal to say how diligent he is in state affairs, but when he first ascended the throne, he was indeed a famous monarch. It's just politics.
Now that the big time is coming, Emperor Chenghua looked at the prince who was as ambitious as he was when he ascended the throne, and suddenly recalled his ambition to be the emperor at the beginning of the year, he couldn't help grasping the prince's hand and said: "My son must respect the heavenly ancestor. , diligent in government and love the people, if there is any indecision, please consult the cabinet elders in advance..."
The prince knelt in front of the bed, feeling the rare and last father's love in his life, and remembered what he explained in his mind.
The emperor's last Qingming was given to the prince, but he did not say a few words to his favorite concubines, such as Concubine Shao Gui, Concubine Zhang De, Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Zhang Li, Concubine Yao An, etc., and only a few words to appease the kings, and then fell into a drowsiness.
On the 22nd, the emperor of Chenghua died, and the prince paid tribute to his ancestors in Fengtian Hall.
Cui Xie listened to it in the duty room of the Hanlin Academy, and followed the senior in the same room to stand up and look in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Emperor Chenghua died, and from now on it will be the Hongzhi Dynasty.
At first, he only regarded the emperor as a historical figure, and in the two years he returned to Beijing, he even considered how to use the deaths of Emperor Xianzong and Concubine Wan to sell cloth...
It was not until the arrival of the long-awaited new dynasty that he realized that the emperor who had met two or three times was not just a historical figure on paper, he was someone he had actually met and had given him many benefits, and this Man just passed away.
Suddenly, in front of Cui Xie's eyes, the emperor who had seen him more than once, but had never been able to see his true face, his eyes felt pantothenic, and he raised his sleeves and wiped away tears with the mourning seniors beside him.
Everyone in the courtyard immediately changed into plain clothes and black horn belts, and from the beginning of the morning, they all went to the Sishan Gate to cry, and cried for two days. No meat and wine.
On the fourth day, all the ministers changed into the heaviest of the five suits, and went to the Sishan Gate to cry day and night.
The outside of Sishan Gate is covered with a miserable color that turns yellow in white, and the most romantic Jinyiwei in the past is also generally pale. Cui Xie took a lot of effort to find Xie Ying among the military officials. He had a face that was paler than Mai, and his cheeks were shaved from hunger. Maybe it was because he cried too long this day and his eyelids were swollen. . But those eyes were washed with tears, and their eyes seemed to be clearer than usual, and they looked at him soothingly in the twilight.
Cui Xie stared at him silently, but couldn't give him a smile back. He just blinked slowly a few times, trying to convey something that he couldn't even explain himself.
Three days later, seven days later, they will come to Sishan's door to cry. I just hope that when the two of them meet again, they will look better than they are now.
