In mid-April, Beijing City has already started early summer mode, and many people are sweating profusely on the street for a while.

This year's big test has come to an end. After a fierce battle, 300 new Jinshi were also released. However, compared with the unprecedented glory of Enko winning six consecutive goals last year, this class has a mediocre reaction.

Because this exam was only one year away from last year's Enchou, and there were no outstanding people or things during this competition. In addition, the new top scorer was actually the last year's student, so the value of this top scorer seems to be low.

This is actually the case with the imperial examination, and luck factors account for a large proportion.

Like Li Shizhen, who was well-known in later generations, although he became famous as a scholar early, he was defeated repeatedly in the scientific examination, and it was difficult to get the qualification to participate in the provincial examination, so he was forced to switch to medical practice.

Like Zhang Cong, the chief assistant of this dynasty, failed seven consecutive exams. He himself had already planned to report to the Ministry of Personnel's Office, but he decided to take the exam again on the way, but he eventually won the second grade.

Although the top scorer in this class has good luck, he has been defeated last year and became the top scorer in the new course. It is really a blessing to have lost his fortune.

But although he was proud, he had a hard time with his 299 students, which caused their Jinshi to have a bad impression on the outside world. Everyone agreed that the overall level of this class of candidates was not good and their strength was not good.

It is far inferior to the Enko Jinshi last year.

"If someone failed to win the Jinshi last year, it would be great. With his level, he would definitely be the new top scorer this year, haha!" This argument is not an independent example, but has become a consensus among the public and has also gained a wide range of views.

Unanimous agreement among candidates who failed the exam.

Although many new Jinshi were very unwilling to accept it, even gritting their teeth, how could they block the world's long and easy-to-mouth. Especially their top scorer was a student who failed the Encai exam last year, so he could only accept it with his nose.

.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

As for Jiang Yuebai, who was always saying that he wanted to surpass Lin Fengran, he was slapped in the face so hard that he did not dare to show up.

Not to mention surpassing Lin Wenkui, Jiang Yuebai was not only defeated by a failed student in Enke last year, but also could not even enter the top ten. His test paper was not delivered to Jiajing at all, and he became a small person in the capital for a while.

Not a small joke.

However, the good or bad things often depend on the selected reference object.

In fact, Jiang Yuebai's grades were also quite good, and he was ranked ninth in the second grade. Whether it was his age or grade, it was enough to make him selected as a candidate for the Hanlin Academy of Sciences and become the candidate for the future prime minister.

one.

Of course, the difference between this and the treatment of the first-class Jinshi is actually quite large.

He entered the Hanlin Academy as an intern and needed some competition to truly stay in the Hanlin Academy. The entry position alone is already at least one term behind the first-class Jinshi.

However, Jiang Yuebai climbed up to the towering tree of Xu Jie, and his political capital also rose suddenly, with extremely strong potential.

After breaking up with the Hua family, Jiang Yuebai quickly went to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage, and the two parties naturally hit it off. The engagement style of Lin Qingran was not the same. Jiang Yuebai directly married Xu Jie's granddaughter Xu Jiao, and the wedding date was set at six.

The sixth day of the month.

It won't take long before Jiang Yuebai will become Xu Jie's grandson-in-law and a supernova in the officialdom.

In this way, Jiang Yuebai was undoubtedly proud of the spring breeze. While holding the beauty back, he climbed the big tree of Xu Jie, the second auxiliary of the dynasty, and his official career will naturally rise to the top.

However, Jiang Yuebai suddenly became ill and lay in the hospital bed for half a month. But he didn't know whether he saw his fiancée or because of a very cold treatment he received when he went to the Hanlin Academy's Repair and Inspection Department.

Especially the latter, he was very confused. The good intentions of the large group of editors, inspections, and other officials of the Supervision Office for the future grandson-in-law of Mr. Xu were given a love for him.

The embarrassment of ignoring him, no one even looked at him with his eyes.

At the same time, the 24th issue of "Talking about Ancient and Current" was launched, and was once again robbed by scholars, and "Talking about Ancient and Current" resolutely became the most influential publication in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Especially before the Grand Prize, nine of the ten juren selected in "Talking about Ancient and On the Current" actually passed the Jinshi exam, which immediately made the reputation of "Talking about Ancient and On the Current".

Whether it is the Hanlin officials' keen eyes or the "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" that can bring good luck to the juren, this is enough to ignite the enthusiasm of scholars all over the world. This is also true, a large number of manuscripts are still submitted to the Hanlin Academy's Repair and Inspection Department.

They express their unique views on current affairs.

In this issue, Zhao Dongcheng, a juren from Guangdong, stood out and published an article titled "On the Southwest Sea". The spearhead was pointed directly at the Zhuji Red Flag Gang entrenched in Tokyo Bay to form the Japanese pirates who did evil, officially unveiling the local area.

The phenomenon of pirates and foreign Japanese pirates collusion proposed the strategy of first resolutely resolutely defending the country.

For a moment, it caused heated discussions among scholars and received support from many people.

Wuyi Hall, cabinet room, and the innermost room is sandalwood.

Yan Song was wearing autumn clothes, as if he still couldn't smell the smell of summer. He worked diligently in front of the black Chang'an, his snow-white eyebrows were sometimes loose and tight, and he was writing a few comments.

The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty at present was bandits, with Mongolian plundering in the north, Japanese pirates in the southeast, and rebels raised flags everywhere, even the southwest seemed restless.

However, the most urgent thing is the Japanese disaster in the southeast. After all, the southeast is the granary of the Ming Dynasty, and this is the source of finance for the Ming Dynasty. As long as the problem of Japanese disaster in the southeast is solved and fiscal revenue is guaranteed, most of the problems of the entire Ming Dynasty will be solved.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. The latest news comes that the Japanese pirates invaded Xiangshan, east of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Tan Lun, deputy envoy of the Haidao, was defeated in Magang, and then the Japanese pirates invaded Chongming County.

Yan Song was deeply helpless when he learned this news. Tan Lun's military talent was deeply recognized by him, but unfortunately, such a general's talent was defeated.

The problem of the Japanese attack here has not been resolved, but it has caused another wave.

The memorial of Fujian Censor Li Hu impeached Hu Zongxian, and at the end clearly wrote: "Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, insisted on fighting in the Japanese and raising pirates, should be punished with heavy punishment!"

Yan Song sighed lightly and read the content of the memorial again.

It turned out that the coast of Fujian was robbed by Japanese pirates. Li Hu, the then Censor of Fujian, learned that the group of Japanese pirates actually came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was the group of Japanese pirates who had been entrenched on Zhoushan Island for a year. They were the group of Japanese pirates who should have been annihilated by Hu Zongxian.

That's why the charge of "staying the Japanese without fighting, raising pirates" was hit on Hu Zongxian.

Yan Song naturally intended to protect Hu Zongxian. Just by eliminating Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, the two strongest Japanese pirate leaders, could not allow him to go down from the position of Governor General of Zhejiang so easily.

But he understood that he could not decide the matter, but he was just arbitrarily saying: "Let the clerk Luo and the censor Pang Shangpeng investigate the matter strictly!"

On the recliner next to him was a fat man with a single-minded white mind, eating a bunch of grapes there. His eyes were free and leisurely looking at the memorials that had been written by the ticket.

Although Yan Shifan was arranged to the cabinet to accompany his father to handle government affairs, he could not make any noise in the real big things. At most, he was just a scholar of his father.

At first, he could tolerate this situation, but over time, he felt a little unwilling to accept it. He always felt that with his intelligence and talent, he was more than enough to help his father handle government affairs.

The same is true. He chose to wait and learn quietly, thus finding opportunities to express himself.

First, he studied his father's habits and determined when to give his opinions the most effective; secondly, he was also learning, learning this way of governing the country from his father's votes; in the end, he was the only one of his father's words.

As my son grows older, he will inevitably be more and more concerned about him.

And recently, he has shown himself more actively.

Yan Shifan found another promissory note to be completed, so he picked up the memorial note that had just been completed. After reading the content, he immediately frowned and said, "Dad, let these two old people stubbornly investigate Wu Zongxian, then Wu Zongxian

Isn't it done?"

After saying that, he looked at his father in confusion, not understanding why he gave up Hu Zongxian. He was the strongest representative of their SAR in the local area, and they were also the representative of their SAR in Zhejiang.

"Do you think this matter is not wronged by Wu Ruzhen?" Yan Song's eyes were still on the memorial and asked faintly.

Yan Shifan savored the tone expressed by his father and pretended to be careless: "The Japanese pirates are entrenched on Zhoushan Island. If I don't pay attention to them, who would have made trouble for me!"

"So you can't be so lucky in anything. Since he is the governor of Zhejiang, he should take on this responsibility!" Yan Song stared at the memorial in his hand with satisfaction, and then solemnly looked at his son.

Yan Shifan faced his eyes and knew that his father was in a good mood, so he tried to convince him, "That's right, but if these two old people stubbornly investigate, there would be no room for maneuver in the matter. He would definitely be stabbed.

Come to the Emperor."

"Don't worry! As long as he finds a suitable reason, he will definitely be fine. The emperor still recognizes his ability!" Yan Song's eyes fell back to the memorial and said with certainty.

Hu Zongxian made contributions to the White Deer last year, and he also gave Xu Hai and Wang Zhi the credit for this. As long as Hu Zongxian can find a reasonable explanation, the crisis will be resolved.

Yan Shifan's brows frowned slightly, but he did not doubt his father's words, but felt that doing so seemed too passive and too entrusted to the emperor.

"Since you have done something wrong, you must take the initiative to admit your mistake to the emperor. If you want to be a saint, then go to Nanjing to accompany those people!" Yan Song glanced at his son and warned him again.

When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately understood and said seriously: "Dad, the child knows!"

"It is not so easy to distinguish Japanese pirates. I see someone pushing you behind this. Let Wu Ruzhen be careful of the villain around you!" Yan Song looked at his son with relief, and then reminded him again.

Yan Shifan nodded solemnly again, suddenly suffered a great blow, and felt a sense of decadence. He found that in front of his father, he was really just a child.

If he wants to replace his father, he will help him deal with political affairs directly, and he may have a long way to go.

Yan Song didn't know what his son was thinking, and was diligently burying his head, holding the wolf pen in his hand. He was preparing for the ticket, but when the tip of the pen fell to the piece of paper, it suddenly stopped, but his brow was tight.

Frowning tightly.

Seeing this situation, Yan Shifan bit a grape in his mouth and immediately asked vaguely: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" While speaking, he also glanced at the memorial book, wanting to know what was going on.

"That kid can really make trouble!" Yan Song did not answer positively, but sighed slightly.

Yan Shifan saw the signature of the memorial book at this time and knew who the boy was referring to, but he looked disdainful and despised the memorial book and said, "What did he want to do?"

"Hundreds of Japanese pirates were wiped out, Han Shisheng was impeached, and..." Yan Song said this, but suddenly stopped talking, and then slowly shook his head.

But the first two things were enough to shock Yan Shifan, but he didn't expect that the boy was really restless. Not only did he make military achievements, but he also suddenly took action against Han Shisheng, who really dared to slap.

Yan Shifan was jealous and praised, but he still said disdainfully: "This kid impeached Han Shisheng, this is an unknown move!"

"Maybe!" Yan Song said lightly, then picked up the wolf brush and wrote a line of small words on it, but he said while writing: "Han Shisheng is indeed inaction, and this is undoubtedly true."

Yan Shifan saw the line of small words written by his father, his mouth slightly opened and looked at his father in surprise.

As May comes, Leizhou City is still in a prosperous scene.

A convoy left the Chaotian Gate of Leizhou City and headed towards the official road to the north. Although it would pass through Suixi City, many people understood that the final place of this team must be that name.

It is a small mountain village in Changlin.

Whether it is Lin Lei Gong Lin Weiran, or the wild girl, Hu Niu, they have made "Changlin Village" the most famous village in the entire Leizhou City, and some even went to see it specially.

"Go home!"

Hu Niu, wearing a light blue double-breasted Confucian skirt, acted as a groom again, holding a long whip in her hand, driving the carriage as if it were decent. Her fleshy face seemed to be dyed with rouge and beautiful big eyes

He looks bright and looks very much looking forward to the home in Changlin Village.

In the carriage, Lin Weiran was resting with his eyes closed. He did not want to return to Changlin Village specifically. In fact, he was going to Lianzhou City, and Changlin Village was just passing by along the way.

However, this trip to Lianzhou City made his right eyelid twitch slightly, and he always felt something bad would happen.
