The next day, news came from the palace: the list of examiners of the provincial examinations of the two capitals and thirteen provinces has been finalized.

Two Hanlin attendants Wang Tong and Lin Yu were not elected, and Zuo Zanshan and Hanlin Academy's reviewer Yin Shidan was appointed as the chief examiner of the Shuntian provincial examination, and Zhang Juzheng, the Imperial College Supervisor and Hanlin editor, served as the chief examiner of the Yingtian provincial examination.

Once the news came out, it caused an uproar in the capital, and the court actually broke the rules.

This seems like a small change will not only affect the employment principles of the chief examiners of the two capitals' provincial examinations in the future, but will also have a profound impact on the future selection of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although the eight-legged essay has long been fixed, it contains a strong subjective factor of the examiner. In addition to personal energy, middle-aged officials will focus more on policy discussions, thus selecting more practical talents.

In this incident, Lin Qingran not only did not get any substantial gains, but even offended two attendants Wang Tong and Lin Du, who were in the Hanlin Academy for no reason.

However, he did not gain no gains at all, but gained political influence. He not only successfully broke the rigid selection model of the chief examiner of the provincial examination, but also achieved his political goals, which was actually beneficial to his position as a leader in the reformist faction.

Of course, the people who benefited the most were Yin Shidan and Zhang Juzheng. They both picked up a good job as the examiner of the provincial examination in the two capitals for nothing.

Being in the capital city, there are always undercurrents below. I don’t know if there are too many things happening or people are too forgetful, but the storm of the chief examiner of the provincial examination has only been in the past two days, and no one has talked about this anymore.

As night fell, the Jiaofangsi seemed very lively.

As the first month is about to come to an end, the capital has returned to its usual lively atmosphere. Many people are busy with their own affairs during the day, and gather in various entertainment venues at night.

There were sedan chairs or carriages in front of the Jiaofangsi gate, and those who were either majestic middle-aged and old men, handsome young men, or young men.

The madam dressed up in a gorgeous manner stood in front of the door, warmly greeting the guests with a loud voice, and even flirted with some regular customers.

A fat middle-aged man led a young man to appear at the door. The enthusiastic madam had already recognized the middle-aged man. After a few jokes, he led the two to the lobby.

The lobby here is mostly filled with scholars and wealthy businessmen, and beside them are beautiful women. Here, those who play tricks, drink, recite poems, and flirt with each other, seem very noisy.

"I am just a poor Hanlin. Don't think I'm shabby. This meal will be arranged here!" Xu Wei sat down at the table, spreading his hands a little scoundrel and said.

Lin Weiran looked at the noisy environment around him and sat down and said, "Anyway, you are checking out this meal, so it doesn't matter where I am!"

Xu Wei seemed to have some opinions at this point, and his eyes fell on the adjacent table. Lin Fu sat down at the table as if nothing had happened, and was already protecting Lin Weiran loyally.

Lin Weiran noticed Xu Wei's gaze and responded generously: "You don't need to pay attention to their accounts!"

The poor Hanlin is not completely self-worthy, but it is indeed the case. Hanlin officials like Xu Wei who have no family business do indeed live a very ordinary life with just a little salary.

"Waiter, serve wine and food!" Xu Wei looked up at the waiter not far away, and greeted him.

There are several halls here, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Although it is impossible to be a work by a great man, it is also impressive, including many works by talented men.

"Call Miss Cuizhu down!" Xu Wei gave another order to the Guigong who came, and handed Lin Xuran a questioning look. Lin Xuran responded calmly: "Don't pay attention to me!"

Gong Gui looked at Lin Weiran suspiciously and hurried upstairs.

"Come on, let's have a drink!"

Xu Wei seemed a little greedy. He took out a wine pot from his hand and poured wine into the cup. Then he raised his glass with Lin Qingran and said.

Lin Qingran picked up the teacup and drank it with Xu Wei. When he drank the spicy wine, he found that the wine here was not low, but this old wine was more suitable for his appetite.

It is a good life to be in a business and now in such a noisy environment. Drinking this old wine and eating this exquisite side dishes.

Different from the scholars in Jiangnan, the scholars in the capital seemed to prefer to talk about current affairs.

At the next door, the scholar table was talking about reducing the vassal and rice, but suddenly an older scholar heard a loud voice: "I'm afraid that as you said, the Ming Dynasty will be full of war.

!A vassal king won’t do anything, but if so many vassal kings are together, what if it’s like?”

As soon as this statement was made, the two young scholars who had just threatened to reduce the vassal of the clan and the sects were as if they had been poured with cold water, and were speechless for a moment.

The older scholar seemed quite proud and said in a preaching tone: "That's true for you young people. You only know how to do things recklessly, and don't understand the consequences at all!"

Xu Wei turned his head and looked over there, then shook his head gently at Lin Xuran and said, "I really didn't expect that this vassal king's theory of rebellion is so marketable!"

"Actually, this argument makes sense. After all, there is indeed this possibility in theory!" Lin Weiran put down the wine glass and responded with a mature and steady attitude.

Xu Wei snorted coldly and immediately criticized: "They are obviously not good at doing things, but they are the first-class people. These nonsense can only deceive the three-year-old child!" After a pause, he raised his tone and said: "Jing

How many guards were Wang Jufan? The 600 lieutenants and 100 soldiers, the total number was only 700. This guard has the strength to rebel? In fact, no matter how much it is reduced, the few who have been taken are still the lower-level clans, but the lower-level clans are

Does your elder brother have the right to rebel? The prince has always lived in a big house, even if he only gets five thousand stones of rice a year, his life is also very comfortable. Will he rebel because he has less than five thousand stones of rice?"

The voice was not intentional, but this place was the lobby after all. The older scholars there seemed to hear Xu Wei's words, and the old face immediately swelled like a pig's liver.

The two young scholars looked quite relieved and looked at Xu Wei who was talking here in admiration.

Lin Weiran noticed the movement over there, but suppressed his voice and said, "The theory of rebellion by the vassal kings is just a statement thrown out by some conservatives, guiding the direction of the speech, but these things naturally cannot fool the above!"
