21. Li Shujiu spoiled the game

The Hong family was very happy at home, and wealthy families in Manchu County raised funds to build her chastity memorial arch and renovate her house. They also interviewed old people and collected stories about her fifteen years of living in a cold cave, eating coarse chaff and tares, and going through all kinds of hardships to raise Hong Dashou.

However, Hong Dashou stamped his feet anxiously and got up before dawn. Hearing the messy sounds in the surrounding houses, it was the eunuchs who could go to the temple in Diandong and Schooldong and were gearing up to go to Changchun.

The sound of a battle in Qing Palace.

The cook who was making breakfast at home had already gotten up. When she saw Hong Dashou standing in the yard with his clothes on, he quickly brought a bowl of hot porridge over.

The porridge was still hot, but the cold wind that had not retreated quickly swept away the heat. Hong Da kept eating and didn't know the taste. Halfway through eating, the porridge was cold.

"Why are you up so early? The court will recommend examiners, and the results will not be announced until at least the end of the hour."

Jin Douji also wore a cotton robe and went out to have breakfast. His daily schedule was more regular than Hong Da's. After all, he had to invite the adults to have a drink in the evening and go to the Yamen in the morning to get acquainted with each other.

"I'm always anxious and can't sleep."

"If you ask me, you might as well go back to Fengshan and continue the Hong family's genealogy. That way you can still pass if you miss one more."

"Don't try after all, it's not the right path. If you don't have a background in Jinshi, science and culture, you will not be beautiful after all."

"Putai is a Jinshi? Supervisor Min is a Jinshi? Jin Ban is a Jinshi? Except Superintendent Fenggao who is a Jinshi, who else is a Jinshi?" Jin Douji counted his fingers and counted for Hong Dashou.

It is true that most of these high-ranking officials obtained their fame through special examinations such as the special examination, and they are still officials. However, they have huge family power behind them, which can compete for them places in the special examination.

Hong Dashou is a bachelor himself and has no family power at all. Unless he really does what Jin Douji said and goes to recognize the Fengshan Hong family and become a descendant of the Fengshan Hong family, then maybe he can really get along with him.

.

"So, if you can't do it this year, come back next year. Anyway, there is a way, so what are you afraid of?"

"Brother, you should be open-minded."

"I can't see clearly. The meat is not in my bowl. I speak lightly. If the meat is in my bowl, I can't compare to you. I might have gone to Gwanghwamun to wait for news, hahahahaha."

Jin Douji pointed at himself and then at the palace, smiling and being frank with Hong Dashou.

It’s a true saying. When you persuade others, you are always so sensible and clear-minded, but it’s hard for you to get out of it yourself.

However, someone made a joke, and Hong Dashou temporarily calmed down and sat in the room. He casually picked up a book, not really wanting to read anything, just passing the time.

After about three uncomfortable hours, the street suddenly became noisy, and a servant was called to go outside to inquire.

Before the words were spoken, I heard Pu Bing holding a red flag and running wildly to report to all directions in Hanyang.

After the public recommendation in the palace, the king agreed, and Cao Yunda, a senior scholar at Hongwenguan, was appointed as the chief examiner for Renxu subjects. Immediately, the courtyard was closed, and twelve deputy examiners and fellow examiners entered the venue together.

The candidates recommended by the three parties all rushed to the street, and Cao Yunda, a passerby from Hongwenguan University, suddenly asked for the exam.

Hongwenguan can be understood as the Imperial College, which means that the deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Procuratorate, the deputy provincial mayor, and an uncle of the king turned everything upside down, and then took advantage of the president of the Capital University.

What is this?

Hong Dashou immediately got up and went to Min Tingyue's home. When he arrived, he found that the people in Min's mansion were beaming with joy and packing luggage, bedding, clothes, and some pens, inks, papers, and inkstones.

Upon inquiry, it was found that Min Ting's younger brother, Min Jing'er, was the co-examiner for this Jinshi subject. He had already locked himself up in the hospital, and his family members were packing up his daily things and sending them to the examination room.

Surprised first and happy later!

We never had any friendship with Min Jinghye, but we knew his eldest brother Min Tinghye and Hong Dashou very well!

Min Tinghye, who was wearing regular clothes and a black gauze on his head, also returned home happily. Seeing Hong Dashou bowing to him in the concierge, he also asked him to come in.

"Master Min chose to take the exam together, which is really what the world's Confucian scholars are looking forward to!" Hong Dashou first congratulated him after he had failed to flatter him.

Although being the chief examiner can be regarded as the "teacher" of Confucian students in the world, being a fellow examiner can also be considered as half of it. Serving as an examiner can not only enhance Min's reputation, but also expand Min's network.

"It's really an accident, it's really an accident!"

Min Tingyu waved his hand and spoke softly.

Both Zhao Deyong and Jin Guanzhu were determined to win the title of the examiner, so they were the most active in court discussions and attacked each other. Even the late kings came out, cited classics, and demolished their own walls.

Park Zongqing saw them arguing happily, and suddenly made a speech to recommend Li Shujiu. Li Shujiu, who was pretending to be dead in the corner and had no power, stood up, and then he was overjoyed and his fighting spirit glowed all over.

It's finally my turn to show off!

There were people waving flags and shouting behind everyone else, but Li Shujiu was alone, but he didn't care. He fully demonstrated the power of his Paris Cannon and fired violently.

Zhao Deyong was born in the Zengguang Examination, not a Jinshi. Li Shujiu directly criticized him for having a bullshit background that was obtained through money-laden operations. Moreover, several people who spoke for Zhao Deyong were from different backgrounds and immediately became incompetent.

If you have the ability, go and take the imperial examination! If you don’t have this kind of ability, how can you have the face to be the examiner?

Zhao Deyong was so sprayed that he did not dare to speak and retreated on the spot.

Jin Guanzhu was even worse. Because of his sister, Princess Zhenshun, he was appointed as an official as a foreign relative. To put it bluntly, if one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Li Shujiu also dared to speak out and scolded him on the spot as "a little person who is just a nepotist!"

However, the big bosses can't get out of the way even though their subordinates are firing. It would be shameful to get out personally, because the big guys are suppressing the small ones.

Jin Zuchun is a serious Tanhualang, a Jinshi appointed by the Zhengzong King. There is no way to criticize him, but his status is too high and he is not suitable to be the examiner.

So Li Shujiu opened fire in the audience, killing everyone in all directions, and it was about to end.

King Sunjong spoke!

"In the palace full of loyal and worthy people, who is a Jinshi?"

It's a very common question, but everyone is too embarrassed to answer it. Even if they have a good reputation, most of them don't want to take this kind of temporary exam. There are very few serious Jinshi.

"Except for the uncle of the state (the Li Dynasty specifically called the king's father-in-law the uncle of the state), is there not a single Jinshi in the entire palace?" King Sunjong was a little surprised that his subordinates were actually full of wine and rice bags.

"I am a Jinshi!" At this time, Cao Yunda, the great scholar of Hongwenguan, stood up.

"Then you will take charge of the examination!" King Sunjong said eloquently. In addition, the scene was too difficult at that time, and Princess Zhenshun behind the curtain could not stop her.

Jin Zuchun finally understood what Park Zongqing meant. Pan Nan Park deliberately did not recommend his own people, just to let Li Shujiu come to power to disrupt the situation.

I can’t get it, and you can’t even imagine it!

Originally, Cao Yun could only read books and write poems in the Hongwen Hall. He was so happy that he knelt down to express his gratitude. Then Min Tinghye wrote the edict in court, and Sunjong sealed it. Cao Yun received the edict and told his family at the gate of the palace.

After this news, the hospital was locked down.

Min Jinghuo, who was in the palace at that time, was appointed as a fellow examiner because he was a second-class Jinshi.
