Palace exam on March 15th, and the list will be released on March 18th. A total of 300 people were selected in this subject, and Lun Wenxu still topped the list, accounting for two yuan of glory, and was escorted home by the honor guard of the Ministry of Rites. The rest of the people naturally did not have the scenery of the guard of honor, so they went home on horseback and prepared to visit the master and the master.
Tang Yin took the 18th place in the top two. The high is still high, but it is no different from the champion he has always considered. He Xiang came from a talented person, but he was hit by the exam, and when he returned to Cui Xie's house, he couldn't help complaining: "If you talk about talent, I have everything, if you talk about hard work, who can work as hard as I have in the past few months for the exam? Now that I haven't entered the top armor, could it be that my life is inferior to others?"
Teacher Cui heard that he was so self-pity and self-reproach, and he was not as frivolous as before the exam, but he loved him a little bit, and comforted him: "You only graduated from Jieyuan last year. , there are many people who have been in the exam for several years. You also took the 18th place in the top two exams, which is enough to be arrogant. Anyway, when you said you wanted to be the champion, only a few of us listened to it, and everyone outside I don't know, no one laughs at you."
fortunately. fortunately.
Fortunately, there were many twists and turns after entering Beijing, and Cui Shijiao forced him to study, so he was confined at home. Otherwise, he said outside that he wanted to take the top spot, and got such a result... Let's take a step back and say, if he hadn't worked hard to solve the questions for the past few months, maybe he would not have performed as well as he is now
Tang Yin touched his neck and nodded silently when Cui Xie was discussing with him about helping him simulate the court test.
There are 300 people in this Curtin opponent. In addition to the top three who were awarded editor and editor positions, the remaining 297 people were re-examined and selected 20 sages. Afterwards, take one-third of the points to the six departments to observe politics, and the rest will be registered in the Ministry of Personnel, return to their hometown to study with relatives, and wait for the Ministry of Personnel to select people for employment.
This time, Tang Yin finally got into the succubus, and then he followed Cui Xie in the Hanlin Academy and wrote "Youth Jinyiwei" for Cui Xie at home.
He has become an official of the imperial court, and he can no longer go out to drink and take prostitutes as he did in his hometown. His romantic feelings had to be written in a book, and he was beaten back by two uncles who were supervising the manuscript.
"Youth Jinyiwei" is equivalent to their autobiography, and it has to be read to the prince, princes, and princesses, not even the slightest bit of romance!
Tang Yin's creative enthusiasm was greatly suppressed, and he resolutely rose up to resist, joined the creative team of "Daily Agricultural Classic", and actively wrote the introduction of "Hua Qingshui Slippery Condensed Milk, Ming Huang's Three Discriminations of Soft Jade Cake" Popular science articles on the production methods of brine, physalis, and gypsum tofu.
The two uncles opened one eye and closed one eye, regardless of his private work. However, this comic book has already put them on the blacklist and will never be presented to the palace!
What was presented to the prince and the second prince had to be drawn by their Mr. Cui, and the content was positive after removing these romantic and frivolous words.
The two held the new issue of April "Jin Yiwei" and the "Daily Agricultural Classic" adapted by Cui Xie, such as "Blessing the Holy Birthday, Tang Seng Yu Jiahe, Bowing Danqi Walker Presenting Koi" and "Gongsun Sheng Planting Forests to Set the Demon Wind" and other painting books, and sent them to the school. The palace took care of the prince Zhu Hou.
The prince's beloved eunuchs had almost all killed the Zhang brothers in one go, and in exchange they were all old eunuchs who were as rigid as the gentlemen, and their hearts were full of anguish. Even if the two of them came again with books he liked, he would not be happy.
He is not a child like the second brother who can be coaxed with a little book.
Zhu Houzhao looked away from the stack of comic strips, and said lightly, "Uncle Lao are thinking of you, not now..."
He wanted to say that he didn't like reading these books, but he was afraid that if he really said it, the Zhang brothers turned around and took these books away. Although there are often these idle books in the second brother's palace, he can borrow them if he wants to read them, but as an older brother, he can't give his younger brother new books, but instead asks his younger brother to borrow them. Isn't it too shameful
He swallowed the stubborn "don't read comics", and said with a small face: "Gu is busy with homework now and has to study. Uncles, put the book down, and read the book after Gu has memorized it."
Zhang Yanling said with admiration: "Prince is worthy of being the Crown Prince of our Ming Dynasty, how hard he studied! The minister was forced by Mr. Cui at that time, and his brothers accompanied him, so he had to study. It was only when he practiced with Mr. Xie to handle the case, I like to learn and I am willing to break the rules.”
Zhang Heling smiled and said, "That's when my elder sister became the queen, and Mr. Cui doesn't force us to study. Do you still remember the day my father just led us to study at Cui's house? Mr. punished us for copying the wrong paper. Ten times, we brothers need to supervise each other."
what! It turns out that the uncles forced him to punish him for copying the papers, but the root is also on that Cui Xie
The prince's eyes widened, he endured the grief and anger, and cautiously confirmed it again: "The uncles said it, but it was printed on the inner page of the "Daily Agricultural Classic", and the Cui Shi who wrote about how to farm?"
Zhang Heling nodded proudly: "It's Mr. Cui. The set of "Daily Agricultural Classics" we presented was re-arranged and printed by Mr. Cui, and specially made a color version for His Highness, deleting the slang words in the market. Only worthy of the status of two highnesses."
The prince was shocked again.
How could this book be edited by Choi Xie!
Isn't he an old pedant who specializes in exam papers, who specializes in forcing people to guide and transport gong, who specializes in teaching the country's uncles to embarrass him! How could he write such a beautiful book
He actually made up a set of picture books for Gu that can be read on the desk
The prince can't believe it at all!
He resisted and remained silent, but the Zhang brothers were only crown princes, just like when they knew that Cui Xie had found someone to write "Youth Jinyiwei" for them, they were speechless with joy, and they never thought that he would not like it. Choi Seop.
They were also happy for the prince, so they told the prince the good news about themselves: "Mr. Cui has already found a talented person to write the manuscript of the third part of "Youth Jinyiwei". It is about our brothers who discovered that there was a wound on the dog in the palace, and then Inferring carefully from the traces of pearls and horses, I finally found out that there was a traitor who intended to lure His Highness to fight cock-fighting lackeys, capture the traitor, and protect the prince Mingde without losing the story!"
The prince can also show a small face in this story!
The two of them couldn't hide their bragging hearts and said to the little prince, "Although Your Royal Highness cannot be drawn in the book, we will definitely persuade Mr. ."
His Royal Highness did not want to show his face in the book at all.
In the book, the uncles are Jin Yiwei, a young man who has no plans to handle the case. What about him? The eunuchs around him are all caught traitors. His prince is not a fool who was fooled by the eunuch, or a foolish prince who was seduced by the eunuch to not do his job properly!
If the third part of "Youth Jin Yiwei" comes out, he will, he will, he will read it first, and then take the book and sue his Master Cheng, and tell Master Cheng to take care of that Cui Xie!
After the two uncles left, the prince was still indignant, and called Liu Jin, the only one who could comfort him now, to come over and complain to him a few words.
When Prince Fang Cai was talking to his uncles, Liu Jin was listening from beginning to end, and he naturally knew that his uncle and their servants could not get along, so he gritted his teeth and showed a smile: "The courtiers always hope that the young master will grow up according to their rules. , the two uncles were taught by the ministers, so they are naturally upright. The slaves have no knowledge and dare not talk about the outside world. They just feel sorry for the young master who studies hard during the day, and has to guide and practice the exercises sooner or later. already."
The prince sighed deeply: "I just want to rest, so what can I do while resting - even this book is written by Mr. Cui!" The title was written by him, and the book was also written by him. Choi Xie has nothing to do with it!
A strange look flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, he bowed slightly, and said in the ear of the prince: "If Your Highness doesn't want to read what Cui Shi said, and do some distractions, the servants have an idea - just now, the two national uncles said, Jin Yiwei Xie Tongzhi once led them to pretend to handle the case, and the young master can also pretend to be a Jinyiwei or something, and the slaves accompany the young master to act as a follower or a sinner, and ask the young master to try something new?"
The prince glanced at him: "Forget it, Gu still wants to stay with you for a few more years, don't ask the uncle to hold you. Besides, Jin Yiwei has nothing to pretend, at most, like the two uncles, catching a few and doing something wrong. It’s just a eunuch. If you want to act alone, you have to be a general with a million troops to destroy the Japanese state in the south and the Tatars in Peking…”
Liu Jin bowed his head gratefully, thanked the prince for his care, and withdrew to get new tea for the prince. After stepping out of the hall door, he squinted as if he was not used to the bright sunlight outside, and glanced in the direction of Damingmen.
He would like to thank the two uncles for pulling out so many people who were competing for favor for him, and thank Cui Shi for compiling books and exam papers, so that the prince's mind turned to him.
If one day the Crown Prince Jianzuo is in control of Liu Jin's power, and the well-known Mr. Cui wants to defect to him, he will definitely accept it with all his heart, be a worthy corporal, and be a worthy lord.
Inside and outside the Qingning Palace, both the master and the servant were thinking about Cui Xie, but they didn't know that they would soon stop thinking about it and actually see this person.
On March 22, the champion Lun Wenxu led 300 jinshi to the Confucius Temple of his predecessor to perform the cooking ceremony.
At the beginning of April, the Ministry of Industry wrote a stone tablet inscribed with the title of 300 Jinshi on this list and erected it in the Imperial College.
At this point, the 12th year of Hongzhi's twelfth year of this discipline has ended smoothly and smoothly. From honorary officials, examiners, co-examiners, field supervisors, promotion officials... they are all based on merit and reward, and each has a promotion or reward. Cheng Minzheng, the deputy chief examiner and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was cited by the three elders Liu, Li and Xie for his talent promotion.
After Cheng Xueshi entered the pavilion, the first thing he did was to recommend Li Dongyang's disciple, Cui Xie, a servant of the Hanlin who had just returned to the court in the tenth year of Hongzhi, as a bachelor of the fifth grade.
The cabinet approved the blue, the emperor approved the Zhu, and all the way to follow his memorial without any hindrance. The emperor also ordered Cui Xie to serve as a lecturer in the East Palace to teach the prince Zhu Houzhao to read.
When the news came out, the Hanlin Academy was indifferent, and those who stayed longer had a feeling of "as expected" and "finally here". On the other hand, the officials of Kedao calculated that Cui Xie's time in the seat of the lecturer was still short, not enough for three years to complete the examination, and he did not have any major achievements.
Cui Xie had to give thanks and wait for the emperor to "not allow".
These are all impeached and thankful according to the rules. If Cui Xie was not too young, he should have given his old age again according to the rules.
He took the opportunity to take a day off to write his remarks at home, but unexpectedly, before the memorial was finished, the door of his house was slammed open. As soon as he flew into the courtyard in a small sedan, before the sedan body stopped, a chubby and pampered eunuch jumped down from it.
Eunuch Gao didn't care that he was old and his figure was not as strong as when he was young, so he just stepped on the soles of three-inch thick boots and rushed in front of Cui Xie. The family enters the palace! Great victory! We have had a rare great victory in the past two years!"
He came up and grabbed Cui Xie, walked into the sedan chair, and said with a red face, "At the beginning of this year, the Tartars invaded the Ganzhou border, and the commander Li Qing, Zhu Xuan and others used the cement you and Xie Tongzhi tried to build a city to meet the enemy. In this battle, more than 300 pirates were beheaded, and 90 horses were captured! The emperor has a decree to invite you, Xie Zhen and Xie Tongzhi to enter the palace to see you!"
