After the results of the imperial examination come out, what is the first thing that the mid-term examination scholars will face? In the past, they may not have thought too much about it, but now they know that the first thing they have to face is countless banquets.
Not to mention various private banquets, even officials will hold banquets to celebrate, such as the Deer Ming Banquet after the provincial examination, and the even more famous Qionglin Banquet after the palace examination.
Among them, the Deer Ming Banquet is traditionally held on the day after the results of the provincial examination are released. The venue is usually Minglun Hall of Fuxue. After all, there are not many places that can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time.
On the night when the results were released, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian sent Hong Song back to his residence after he was so drunk that he was unconscious, and took a long breath. When you are feeling proud, drinking with frustrated friends is indeed a very painful thing.
The two congratulated each other and agreed to attend the Deer Ming Banquet together tomorrow morning.
There was nothing to say all night, only sex... Fang Yingwu went against the half-dead state of waiting for the release of the results for the past few days, and enthusiastically took his concubine, Sister Lan, to fight twice in a row, and then he vented his excitement a little and
Fall into a deep sleep.
At dawn the next day, Wang Ying woke up Fang Yingwu, and the two of them washed up and went out. After meeting Xiang Chengxian, they went to Fuxue together.
At this time, all the schools were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, dressed in red and green, creating a festive atmosphere. Indeed, in the entire process before and after the provincial examination, the Luming Banquet can be regarded as the most festive time.
First of all, the people who come here are all happy people. When they gather together, they will naturally laugh and be happy, and no one will ruin the scenery here.
Secondly, these new recruits are not so stupid as to really think that people come here just to eat and drink. You can be sure that you will definitely not eat or drink well today.
As the saying goes, a drunkard’s intention is not to drink. Everyone recognizes each other as teachers and students, recognizes the age, and recognizes the sect. This is a serious matter. Naturally, this kind of scene is filled with laughter and laughter, like a spring breeze.
If you win the imperial examination, even if you change from a scholar to a gentry, your master and the same year will naturally be the connections brought by the imperial examination. This is one of the most important relationships in life.
As soon as Fang Yingwu walked outside Minglun Hall, he was surrounded by people. Many people came up to say hello to him. As the most promising person recognized by Jinke, it is normal to receive such treatment. Even Fang Yingwu himself was surprised.
Be mentally prepared.
The saying that age is a treasure is by no means empty talk. Whether in the imperial examination or in the officialdom, youth is a real capital. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a phenomenon of child prodigy worship. The younger you were, the more popular you were. Although passing the imperial examination at the age of 18 does not count,
It's not unprecedented, it's unprecedented, and it's rare, but it's very rare, so it's no wonder that everyone respects it.
Everyone gathered around Fang Yingwu. Discussions were inevitable. Someone who was very familiar with the story said: "Young people in high schools are rare in the past, but this dynasty is really full of talents. There have been several in recent years. It is really amazing."
In the Sichuan Provincial Examination in the seventh year of Chenghua, there was a boy named Yang Tinghe who passed the exam at the age of twelve. In the same year, in the Huguang Provincial Examination, a boy named Yang Yiqing also passed the exam at the age of fourteen. Both of them passed the exam in the eighth year of Chenghua.
Being a Jinshi is really a good thing for a while.
In the Guangxi Provincial Examination in the 13th year of Chenghua, a young man named Jiang Mian passed the exam at the age of 15. His future was limitless! In addition, there was Li Dongyang from the capital, who passed the 10th grade in Tianshun in the 8th year.
He became a high school scholar at the age of eight and became famous all over the world.
Now our Zhejiang province has Fang Tong Nian Youth High School. We are truly honored! If Fang Tong Nian wins the Huangjia Class A again next year, it will once again make us look good!"
Someone else interjected: "Although Fang Tongnian was not as young as those who won the exam, he is still outstanding. He is enough to be ranked among them and become famous all over the world."
There was also an old scholar who shook his head and sighed: "My emperor is a wise man, our generation has come to a prosperous age, and this is the grand occasion where young talents emerge in large numbers."
Fang Yingwu couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He knew the future well, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he still liked fame, but at this moment he felt that he really couldn't deserve everyone's admiration, and that he was being praised a bit too much.
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Jiang Mian, these are all precocious geniuses and prodigies, and they have one thing in common in the future, they have all served as chief assistants... But the future of Fang Yingwu is not yet
Do you know where it is?
It's a pity that only he understands this dilemma. Fang Yingwu could only smile modestly and said repeatedly: "Seniors, you are so ridiculous! I am ashamed to call you a kid!"
However, Fang Yingwu still secretly praised him. There are indeed talented people here who can win the lottery. They are indeed outstanding. They are also talking about his own success. The level of conversation is better than the vulgar comments he heard in the restaurant yesterday. The level is unknown.
How many times higher.
Speaking of Fang Yingwu, the eighteen-year-old Juren, if placed in other eras, he would definitely be a very eye-catching presence. But in the weird Chenghua Dynasty, it is not so eye-catching. There seem to be many people who are more magical than him.
Yes it feels.
The Chenghua period was indeed rich in imperial examination prodigies. I am afraid that most of the famous imperial examination prodigies in the Ming Dynasty appeared in the Chenghua period. One after another, they kept appearing, which is simply dazzling.
In addition to the ones mentioned above, in three years there will be a 16-year-old Jiangxi Jieyuan Fei Hong, who won the first prize at the age of 20 and eventually became the first assistant.
The consequence of this is that during the Chenghua period, countless big bosses emerged who were at the center at a young age and became veterans of three or even four dynasties over a long period of time. They almost monopolized the cabinet positions in the next few decades.
In the next forty or fifty years, from the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties to the early years of the Jiajing dynasty, the chief ministers almost all came to the fore during the Chenghua period——
Li Dongyang was a Jinshi at the age of eighteen, Xie Qian was a Jinshi at the age of twenty-six, Liang Chu was a Jinshi at the age of twenty-five, Yang Tinghe was a Jinshi at the age of fifteen, Yang Yiqing was a Jinshi at the age of thirteen, Xie Yuaner was sixteen years old
Fei Hong became the champion at the age of ten, and Jiang Mian became the Jinshi at the age of thirteen and became the Jinshi at the age of twenty-three.
The above lineup is the first assistant sequence after Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, so the prodigies of Chenghua Dynasty can be called a golden generation full of gold, and it is not an exaggeration to even call them a super platinum generation.
He has become a contemporary of so many true prodigies, and at least he has begun to be juxtaposed with them. I don’t know if this is the luck or misfortune of being a new person.
Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered that when he was running around in the capital to save his father, he once entered the Hanlin Academy. In desperation, in order to promote his father, he ridiculed a group of Hanlin Academy. Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and Xie Qian would not be there.
In that group of people?
Not to mention, according to the law of conservation of energy, when some places are hot, other places will be cold. Fang Yingwu's place is very hot, but some people's place seems deserted, such as Jieyuan and Li Min's place.
Li Jieyuan is very talented and not bad in nature, but he is a somewhat arrogant person. This time he was selected as Jieyuan. Normally he should be the most dazzling person, but the limelight has been eclipsed by Fang Fang, a young high school student.
The object was snatched away.
Although Li Jieyuan doesn't necessarily care about the vulgar flattery of these vulgar people, he is still a little unhappy. Is the thirty-seven-year-old Jieyuan so unpopular?
ps: Looking through historical materials, I found that the big bosses in the next few decades are basically the same generation as Fang Yingwu, or even the same generation, Fang’s classmate Alexander. I also have a big head. How will the interpersonal network be in the future?
