40 List
Chu Tianxiu knew that she accidentally fired a map cannon, and she didn't dare to go out for a walk.
These days, I have been huddling in the Prince Ping's Mansion, and I have been busy supervising the construction of warm rooms and ice cellars all day long to cover up my guilt.
He asked Joo to inquire about the news every day.
But except for inquiring that the emperor burned the bamboo slips, he did not hear any disturbances.
Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but feel alive.
The emperor burned the bamboo slips on the spot, and I don’t know whether he agreed or not. However, he definitely didn’t want others to see this countermeasure in advance, which caused trouble.
During the palace examination, three of them knew about this.
Once rumors spread everywhere and the kings and princes and powerful people attacked each other, the emperor would easily think of who leaked the news.
Cai and the eunuchs would not be so stupid that they talked everywhere.
In this way, this matter has been completely suppressed by the emperor at present.
No one knew that he had written the "Forbidden Privately Forged Coins". Of course, no royal relatives would be furious and sent people to kill him.
Ha, I am quite safe now.
A false alarm!
It seems that on the day of Xiaohan, the court released the happy day. I have been tense for so long, and I can finally go out and relax. I will ride my horse and enjoy Jinling City!
...
A few days passed, Xiaohan.
It's time for the palace examination to be released.
In the early morning, the Sima Gate, the outermost part of the Jinling Palace, gathered early on, thousands of officials and Confucian scholars from all over the country.
There was noisy outside the palace, and horses trampled on it, trampling the snow outside the palace into a mess.
Although there were only a few hundred candidates participating in the palace examination, most of these people were future officials of the court and their future was limitless.
Many children of the same clan of the Jinling clan invited them to come and see the list, preparing to celebrate them.
There are even some daughters from officials who ride in sedan chairs and carriages and look out from afar. They want to choose a good son-in-law who has good talent and good looks on this big day when the rankings are released.
"Brother Dong, today's report is released. You are as calm as ever. Obviously you are confident! This excellent quota must have your place."
Jia Yu congratulated.
"Haha, where! I'm just used to calm down. You didn't see Junior Brother Chao's spirits, that's what it means to be sure to win, and the arrow is worthless!"
Dong Xianliang pointed at the crowd of scholars not far away and said with a smile. Chao Fangzheng was talking and laughing.
They were waiting for a large group of students, and they had already gathered here to wait, chatting and laughing, with excitement and anxiety.
In this year's annual election, the most famous ones were Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng, the master's father Yan, Jia Yu, Gongsun Hong and other five or six others.
However, the "excellent" quota usually only has three to four people per year.
Before the announcement, no one knew what the final result was. Whether his palace examination countermeasures were favored by the emperor and rated them as the top.
Only the Lord's father Yan wore a cold clothes, was deserted and arrogant, and did not talk to anyone, standing alone in front of the palace gate.
He never doubted that he would be able to win the best exam once he had the palace examination.
He not only needs to be excellent, but also the first person to let the people of the world know the strength of his master Yan.
As for the scholars, most of them were not qualified to be recommended. Although they were sad, they wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with these scholars who had studied in the same private school.
Maybe in the future, I will have the opportunity to be promoted as a staff member and a disciple by my classmates.
Even if you cannot become a senior official and become an aide to an official, your status is far higher than that of ordinary people.
Mr. Jia came very early and was full of worries. He looked around among a group of Confucian scholars.
He had no hope of recommending him at this age, and he did not want to become an official. He just wanted to see how the palace examination resulted in the son-in-law Xiaohunhou of the Prince Ping's Mansion was.
"I wonder how Xiaohunhou's palace exam took the exam, how many grades he was rated by the emperor?... Will he get an average grade?"
Some Confucian scholars are guilty.
On the night of the winter solstice, these people met Xiao Hunhou at Hongmen Inn. After a quarrel, they made a bet with Xiao Hunhou.
If Xiaohunhou could become Shangguan, they would run naked at the top of Jinling City. If Xiaohunhou could not become, they would run naked.
This bet is obviously about to be paid.
"Hmph, there is no need to say that the emperor was furious and threw Xiaohunhou out of the Golden Palace. There was no doubt that he was not even willing to give it to him!
Jia had already said that the emperor is now wise and wise, and Xiaohunhou, the leader of the four major playboys in Jinling, is definitely unable to get an official position under the emperor's nose!
If he can become an official, even if Jia runs naked in the snow, he will be willing to refuse!"
Jia Sheng held his hands behind his back and said proudly.
"That's right! If Xiao Hunhou can become an official, I will run naked together!"
Some Confucian scholars nearby laughed.
...
Xiaohan's early morning.
Chu Tianxiu took Zuer and rode the car of the noble Marquis led by his five snow-white horses. Under the escort of Li Gannian and a team of royal guards, he came to Sima Gate of Jinling Palace.
As soon as these five luxurious cars appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the scholars and Confucian scholars, and were extremely envious.
This is the car of the princes and princes, and their ultimate pursuit of becoming officials in their lives.
Unfortunately, the noble five-passenger car was sitting on it, which was heartbreaking.
Dong Xianliang obviously didn't mind Xiaohunhou's reputation was not very good. Seeing Chu Tianxiu coming, he couldn't help but smile and bowed:
"The little marquis is here! I have been a student of the same age at Hongmen Inn these days and have a banquet at the Hongmen Inn to talk about literature. Unfortunately, the little marquis did not come, which is very regretful.
Today's announcement is the happy day for me to be the same age as me. We plan to go to Hongmen Inn and have a banquet. The little marquis must give him a look this time!"
A student of the same age is considered the first connection to enter the officialdom. It is also a common practice to support each other in the court in the future.
Therefore, after the annual exam, the students of the same age will have a banquet to communicate with each other.
From ancient times to the present, it is beyond exception.
Chu Tianxiu sat on the five horses and said, "I was about to have a few drinks with Brother Dong!"
...
The scholars and Confucian scholars waited anxiously for most of the hour.
Finally, I saw a large eunuch holding a roll of golden satin and walking out of Sima's door with a group of young eunuchs.
On the side of the palace gate, a royal list was posted.
"The Great Chu Dynasty was held at the age of 8, and the imperial list was announced."
"Excellent: Youjia Chu Tianxiu, Youyi Dong Xianliang, Youyi Bing's father Yan, Youyi Ding Chao Fangzheng. Youyi is appointed as the county magistrate according to the convention."
"The best: Jia Yu, Gongsun Hong, Xiao Ziliang, Wang Xun, Yang Bing... etc. There are ten people. The best is the best, and the court officials are all officials."
"Medium: Li Gannian, Xie Lingyun...etc. There are 80 people in total. The average candidate is the official, and the county is the official."
"Substantially:...a total of ten people. If you don't hire, the recommended person will be fined for half a year."
Joey stared at the imperial list.
The princess said that it is enough for the son-in-law to be of medium or above.
Zuer saw his son-in-law at the top, and was surprised and shocked. He shook Chu Tianxiu's arm and said in disbelief: "Son-in-law, I've won. You are Youjia... Is the emperor dazzled and wrote the wrong name?"
Although she really wants her son-in-law to be excellent in high school, she just wants to eat and drink all day long and is not like her playboy... she really doesn't look like her!
When Chu Tianxiu saw this list, she was instantly enlightened.
The emperor really figured it out and decided to implement the "Planning forbidden Private Crushing of Coins", but this time... I don't know when.
Chu Tianxiu patted her little head and said annoyedly: "Can't you win the best? If your son-in-law fails, do you still expect them to win?"
As soon as the imperial list was announced, the candidates who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time were in an uproar and unbelievable.
“You B!”
The Lord's father Yan was stunned.
His "Great Unification Strategy" ranked third in the "Excellent". Behind Xiaohunhou Chu Tianxiu and Dong Xianliang, he was only one higher than Chao Fangzheng.
What did Xiaohunhou and Dong Xianliang write that made the emperor so moved?!
He was stunned and looked at Dong Xianliang and the little Hunhou who was laughing with his maid in the car of the prince.
The Confucian scholars even widened their eyes and burst into pieces.
In terms of excellence, sorting is very important.
Xiaohun Hou Chu Tianxiu was actually ranked first, ahead of the three top picks, Dong Xianliang, Chao Fangzheng and Master Yan.
Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng are the master disciples of the Three Duke Censors and the great Confucian Confucius. They are even more famous among the Confucian scholars. They are the most outstanding Confucian disciples in Jinling City and the leader of the young generation of Confucian scholars.
The master's father Yan has a bad background and a eccentric personality. Although it is very annoying to Confucian scholars, this person is indeed a genius and is recognized by everyone.
Even the Jiuqing Dayuan Ling Lord Yang Chu only saw him once and talked once, and then he was willing to recommend him to serve as an official. This shows how dazzling this person's talent is.
However, Xiao Hunhou, the number one playboy in Jinling, spends money all the time, so where can he get real talent and knowledge?
Why can this big playboy who threw him out on the spot during the palace examination?
"Your Majesty, you are so tired... You must be dazzled and you accidentally wrote a high-level player! Otherwise, you would not have such a high rating."
"Is it possible that King Ping asked for affection for his son-in-law? The emperor gave him a gift to the emperor for the sake of his righteous brother King Ping?
Your Majesty, please open your eyes. Xiaohunhou has ruined the customs of the Prince Ping’s Mansion. Don’t let Xiaohunhou corrupt my Dachu court!”
"The emperor wants Xiaohunhou to be an official and govern the people in one area, and to cause harm to the other. What should I do?"
