What is even more rare is that what Jiajing gave Xu Chang was the Qilin suit.

During the Zhengde period, the emperor was fond of martial arts, so the so-called bullfighting suits were flooded. The bullfighting suits that were originally only given first-class were given more than a thousand pieces, and there were more than a thousand pieces of flying fish suits. As for the flying fish suits, there was no need to mention the Zhengde Emperor obviously felt that it was not enough, so he actually had a trick to see the people. Almost Chinese civil and military officials in the court had a set of flying fish, which was also a landscape of the Zhengde Dynasty.

After Jiajing ascended the throne, many bad policies were eliminated, so he naturally had to make trouble for this phenomenon. Therefore, he suddenly became extremely cautious about the matter of giving submissions from looseness. After ascending the throne for so long, no more than ten civil and military officials in the court gave submissions, and the cabinet occupied three more places. As for Jiang Bing, the most favored by the Jinyiwei, he was just a flying fish.

Jiajing has always been cautious in rewards. Some people say he is mean, but in fact he has learned from Zhengde. Zhengde is too generous. If Jiajing is compared with him, of course he will inevitably be mean and merciless. However, Zhengde's approach may not be correct, because once the items given by the imperial gift are over-published, it will inevitably make people feel like a joke. In the past, if someone gave the dresses to him, it would be a glamorous thing for the family, and they would like to wear them to make people envy and hate them. However, in the Zhengde Dynasty, everyone was no longer interested in this kind of clothing. Many people even gave them several sets of imperial clothes, but they refused to wear them. The reason was exactly the opposite of before, but it was just because people thought that this thing was like a joke and was thrown out.

Since the change of course, Jiajing actually rewarded Xu Chang with the imperial clothes very rarely, which was definitely a rare thing, because the ministers given by Jiajing were of the lowest rank and above, and Jiajing was extremely particular about rules. He would never reward bullfighting without a first-rank, and it would never be possible to reward flying fish if he was not a third-rank or above. But the problem is that the Qilin clothes are of the fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials. According to the etiquette system, they are given to fourth-rank and fifth-rank military officers. Now Xu Chang is just a sixth-rank military officer. This may not be a horrifying thing during the Zhengde period, but it is impossible to guess the thoughts of Emperor Jiajing.

Xu Chang had so much time when he arrived in the capital. He was a smooth person and had already become a clever person with many people. He was well-informed. How could he not understand the rules here? The more he understood, the more he felt that the Qilin uniform given by the emperor was precious. This was something given by the emperor Jiajing. One piece was worth ten or hundreds, which was enough for him to show off. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is so kind that he can't repay you if you are humble."

Emperor Jiajing seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. He helped Xu Chang up with his hands and said, "You are my man, so I will naturally not treat you badly. Don't say anything that has been dead. I don't want you to die. I want you to live and do a good job for me. Okay, I will listen to the Hanlin masters' lectures later. You can go down."

Jiajing's words are worth chewing. At least Huang Jin has been thinking about it. When Jiajing's words are my own, he suddenly understood something. The emperor gave Xu Chang to express his favor, and also declared his attitude to others, telling everyone that as long as he is the emperor's "his own person", the emperor is still generous.

Xu Chang no longer hesitated and bowed out.

Xu Chang was both excited and grateful after coming out of Chongzheng Hall. He could not even think that he could seize this opportunity. He thought that he would be anxious when he saw the emperor. It would be a blessing to be able to say appropriate words. However, he didn't know what was going on suddenly. He used his own way of fooling Shangguan in Qiantang County and fooling the emperor.

It seems that Shangguan is similar to the emperor. He doesn’t even have to change the soup to flatter him. Just follow this prescription and you can still do everything you can!

Thinking of the scene just now, Xu Chang felt a little proud. He said in a scammer that there were evil people in the capital, which was nothing more than the means of fooling the county magistrate and the chief clerks in Qiantang County. He knew the truth about the fact that the rabbit died and the dog was cooked, so in Qiantang County, he always created many enemies out of thin air, such as the rascals in the county. Although he had the ability to make them honest, he always turned a blind eye every now and then. Why? It was just to highlight his importance in front of Shangguan. These rascals were the tools he relied on for his life.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, it was actually the same. He suddenly thought of this truth, so he told some illegal people in the capital that he was doing things. His purpose was to tell the emperor that he was working hard, and now there were rabbits everywhere under the emperor's feet. As a hunting dog, I naturally had a place to use my skills.

Originally, Xu Chang just wanted to highlight his importance, but he actually won the title. He walked out of the palace excitedly, but he was thinking in his mind: "Does it be time to write a book to that boy Qian'er? Well... it's better to tell him about such an important thing."

Thinking of this son, Xu Chang, who was full of evil deeds, couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He couldn't help but think: "I don't know what happened to his provincial examination. Alas, if he can win, the father and son will be reunited in the capital as soon as possible. He is far away in Zhejiang and he is always worried."

At this time, in Chongzheng Hall, the Emperor Jiajing was sitting down with a smile. He leaned on the imperial chair, playing with a jade pen, and suddenly asked Huang Jin: "Parent Huang, what do you think of Xu Chang?"

Huang Jin was stunned, then looked at Emperor Jiajing carefully and said, "I can't say it well, either."

"It's not that you can't say it, but that you don't dare to say it." Jiajing smiled and then said, "This person is very smart. If you think about it carefully, you can take on a great task."

Jiajing left the imperial pen and continued straightforwardly: "It's just that this person is too smooth, but this is nothing..." Jiajing curled his lips and said with disdain, "It's good that I can use it for my own sake."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The weather in Hangzhou is getting cooler, with autumn winds flying and fallen leaves flying. There is a bit of bleakness in the streets and alleys, not to mention the tribute court filled with solemn and murderous aura, which adds a bit of bleakness at this time.

According to the rules, after the exam is over, all the officials in the main examination and the same examination are not allowed to leave the Gongyuan before the exam is released. There are special officers and soldiers outside the Gongyuan. Anyone who takes a step will be treated as fraud.

Therefore, nearly a hundred officials in Zhejiang are now eating and drinking here. The officials who are taking the same exam and invigilator have nothing to do. They can only gather in Minglun Hall to drink tea and chat every day.

For the examiner, the task is extremely tense. Hundreds and thousands of test papers are definitely not a joke. The rules of the provincial examination are extremely strict and cannot be careless at all. For example, the examiner adopts the method of circulating the article. That is, if an examiner thinks the article is desirable, he stamps his own seal and then handes it to the next examiner. After the next examiner thinks it is desirable, he still stamps it with a large seal. There are a total of six seals. If four seals are stamped, it means that the article has passed the review and then is sent to the examiner, and the examiner selects the ranking among the selected test papers.

The six examiners have read hundreds of test papers in a row. They are exhausted, but they dare not neglect them, so they have to force themselves to support them.

It has been four days and all the papers have been read one after another.

Then, the discussion begins. The so-called discussion means that after receiving dozens of test papers, the examiner summoned all examiners to comment on the articles, especially those with extremely excellent grades. This was originally a matter of the examiner's words, but in order to show his fairness, the examiner would call everyone to discuss. Of course, the final decision was naturally in the hands of Zhao Tixue.

Zhao Ti was deeply immersed in his eyes, and obviously he was very tired. He stayed up late to read the paper all night last night and finally got some clues, but now he encountered a difficult thing. On a paper, the examiners had serious differences.

This is an extremely meticulous and literary test paper. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not be a problem to rank among the top three of the exams. However, some examiners believe that there is a major mistake in this article. The mistake lies in the article. The sentence in the article is called "Yan Ku and Kong Zhizhuo".

There is one unwritten rule among the so-called eight-legged essays, that is, if you want to quote the classics in the article, then this classic must not exceed the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics. The examiners have almost no impression of this sentence "Yan Ku and Kong's excellence", and they don't know which classic it comes from. This means that if the Four Books and Five Classics do not have this sentence, then the quotes of this eight-legged essay are fabricated. Once you find it, it is a major mistake. No matter how well you write it, even if the examiner sympathizes with you and makes you lose your name, the ranking will be only on the tail at most.

Just kidding, writing articles is about making words on behalf of the saints. Where is your turn to create your own speech? This is not a trivial matter.

Zhao Tixue has read the article. He is too familiar with the style of this article. At this time, he is a little embarrassed and doesn't know what to do with it.

"In theory, a major mistake in the test paper is inevitable to be placed in the fourth grade, which will make him take the exam again next year. However, every word in this article is gold and jade, and the lower officials really can't bear it, so the lower officials meant to be placed in the second grade. It is also considered to be the beauty of adults."

"It's a pity that such an article is not available. If it weren't for this sentence, "Yan Ku and Kong's excellence", there would be a first-class person. With the old man's opinion, he might be ranked fourth."
