Chapter two hundred and ninetieth: a man cannot be without authority for a day
Xu Chang and his cousins rode horses and protected the carriage along the way. The people were already wet. Xu Qian couldn't see it, but he couldn't do anything about it. He knew that no matter what he said, they would not be willing to go back.
I suddenly understood a truth in my heart.
One person is enlightened, and the chicken and dog are ascending to heaven; the other person is rich and noble, and the whole clan rises with the water. In the East, a society with clans as the bond, a person is not just an individual in a sense, but a member of the clan, and the clan will be the clan.
People are inseparable from each other. When you are weak, the clan is your backstage. In the countryside, it is often a one-person raising trouble, and the whole clan takes the lead. If a daughter of a family gets married and is bullied, it is also a whole clan who will do anything.
, seek justice together. Therefore, when you are rich and noble, it is not so easy to turn against others. Just like this honest official of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to gather virtuous people but not avoid relatives, and wanted to be honest and do anything
It is harder to do business in business than to reach the sky. First of all, you must be ruthless and unrighteous. When your relatives, your old friends, those who have shared the same woes with him come to your door, you can reject them.
Outside the door, your old father, brothers, and even your own children must be cruel and ruthless to them. You must endure all the criticisms of all relatives. If you want to become a clean official, the most important thing is to become a sinner of the entire clan.
When Xu Qian thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. This kind of social relationship is not good, but it must not be bad. For example, now, Xu Qian is moved. His body is indeed warm and soft through the curtain of the car.
In the comfortable car, but what we saw was a storm, and under the lightning and thunder, they all became chickens. They did not complain, but only took it for granted. The cold rain and the cold wind penetrated through their clothes.
The gap penetrated into the body, and even shivered from time to time, but it did not stop their enthusiasm.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qian had only one thought: "So what if the chicken and dog ascend to heaven? Great kindness must be repaid. Instead of being criticized by thousands of people, they must not be disappointed. Even if it is wrong or even sinners, it might as well go on.
, It’s better to be a sinner, there are too many sinners in this world, and I, Xu Qian, are not short of me."
Sighing, putting down the curtain, Xu Qian leaned into the car, his head clear. Perhaps many people had thought of the same problem as him on this road to the palace examination...
When we arrived at the Meridian Gate, many candidates were waiting, but no eunuch came to announce the imperial edict at this time, so many honest candidates had to wear straw raincoats and wait outside in the rain. Xu Qian lifted the curtain and wanted to get off the car.
Chang stopped him, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, and said, "You just wait in the car and wait until the palace comes to get people before going in."
Xu Qian thought about it, it was the first time those candidates came to this Forbidden City. They didn't dare to sit in the car sedan because they were afraid of blaspheming the sacred palace city. However, an old man like him had no future with them, and the palace didn't say anything.
You are not allowed to take a bus outside the Meridian Gate. Do you have to go to a drizzle and become a solemn and sincere cock?
So I waited in the car for a while, and finally a eunuch came in a hurry in the rain. When he arrived at the door, he held an imperial order in his hand and shouted: "Please enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Today, the rain is raining heavily. Your Majesty can't bear to see the rain.
When you enter the palace, the tribute student walks in a car and sedan chair in the palace."
These tribute students had long been soaked in the fallen chickens. When they heard the order, they were immediately full of gratitude and said, "Your Majesty is wise." Then they took their car and sedans one by one.
Xu Qian wanted to laugh in his heart. Shengming couldn't be said to be a small way to win over the hearts of the people. He expressed the emperor's love for talent. You were grateful and tears filled your eyes. If you really knew that the emperor is
Who is afraid that the word "Saint" may not dare to say it.
At this time, Xu Qian's carriage had already entered the doorway first, but the coachman was not allowed to enter the palace. There was an eunuch inside who took his errand and drove Xu Qian's carriage to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
The Forbidden City in the rain was spotless, and the mist in the air rose in the air. The red glazed tiles and clear white marble bricks could be seen, making Xu Qian feel like he was in a fairyland. However, he was not very interested in such a fairy scene.
I went to enjoy it. After all, there were too many here. I was really shocked when I came here for the first time, but after I came too much, I became numb.
The carriage arrived outside the Taihe Hall. There were thirty-two stone steps outside the Taihe Hall. You could enter the main hall through the stone steps. Therefore, you had to walk. Xu Qian looked at the heavy rain outside and smiled bitterly. It seemed that the rain was still inevitable.
, He couldn't help but smile and said to the eunuch who was driving the car: "Dadfather-in-law, can you borrow an umbrella? The students are new clothes, it's a pity to get wet."
The father-in-law had a scheming face, obviously he didn't want to get close to Xu Qian, so he said angrily; "The imperial edict did not say that you could hold an umbrella in the palace."
There are taboos when holding umbrellas in the palace. Even ordinary eunuchs must move forward in the rain when they rain, because this umbrella is similar to a canopy. Can you rebel on your head?
However, although his father-in-law answered Xu Qian coldly, he turned around and looked at Xu Qian and was stunned for a moment. He obviously recognized Xu Qian. The meanness on his face disappeared immediately. He immediately came up and said with a smile:
It turned out to be Xu Huiyuan. I deserve to die. I don’t know Mount Tai, but I almost hit you."
Xu Qian looked around and said to himself, besides me, is there an old man here? How could he become an old man at a young age? If he knew that Huang Jin, who was in his thirties, had become many people here.
The ancestors are mostly at peace.
This father-in-law was a little embarrassed. It seemed inappropriate to let Xu Qian hold an umbrella. However, Xu Qian had a deep relationship with the palace. Needless to say, his relationship with His Majesty was still quite warm even with Eunuch Huang. If it were this time,
The man surnamed Xu ran to say a few bad things, and the eunuch with his identity could be beaten to death with ease.
After hesitating for a moment, the eunuch immediately took off his coat and gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Huiyuan, it's raining so heavily outside. You are going to have a palace examination again today. Don't catch a cold. The rules in the palace are not allowed to hold umbrellas.
Let me lend this jacket to Xu Huiyuan to block the rain, Xu Huiyuan doesn’t have to be polite.”
In fact, Xu Qian was really not polite at all. He took his shirt with confidence. When he saw the eunuch who was trembling in the wind and rain, he just sighed in his heart: "It turns out that a real man cannot be spared for a day.
Quan, if this eunuch is not afraid of himself, I am afraid that this time I will be looked at by cold eyes, and that will be soaked in a scattered chicken."
He raised his outer shirt with both hands, covered his head and rushed towards the hall.
But at this time, the tribute students who came back saw the heavy rain outside. When they looked at Xu Qian who was rushing towards the hall with his clothes on his back, they couldn't help but ask the eunuch who was rushing to the car: "It's raining outside, can you borrow your father-in-law's clothes?
”
But what's so annoying is that these eunuchs are furious. Oh, you are human beings, but our family is not human? Aren't you just tribute students? What's so great about it? If you pass the Jinshi, you are only a seventh or eighth rank, and you are in the palace.
There are not only one fart inside. After we cut our eggs and enter the uterus, we just carry your shoes and take off your clothes and use them as umbrellas. It's really outrageous!
The eunuchs all had dark faces and sneered at these guys who didn't understand the world, and then sarcastically said: "Isn't this outside here? Can I borrow clothes? Can you borrow clothes? "
The tributes felt that they had been insulted, so they could naturally hear the mockery of these eunuchs, so they couldn't help but beat their chests and said, "Didn't that man borrowed his clothes to cover the rain just now? He can, why can't the students?"
The eunuchs have only one standard answer: "They are called Xu Qian, are you called Xu Qian?"
Xu Qian…
Therefore, before these people knew each other in the same year, everyone had a deeper understanding of Xu Qian.
Since this is the case, noisy is useless, so everyone had to continue rushing towards the Taihe Palace in a mess like a kite with broken strings.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, eight document reviewers had been waiting for a long time. At this time, the emperor had not appeared. The document reading officials were standing behind the document. There were more than a hundred documentaries in the hall, with pens, inks, paper and inkstones on it.
There were also brewed tea and dozens of eunuchs stood with breath around him. When Xu Qian came in, his clothes were not soaked much, but his sleeves were stained with water. He threw the eunuch's outer shirt casually.
Going aside, he stepped forward first and bowed to the readers of the papers and said, "Student Xu Qian, I have met you all."
The eight documentary reading officials nodded with a bit of seriousness and coldness on their faces. Even if they accepted his courtesy, they would not talk to him. Instead, a eunuch next to him said loudly: "Grand student Xu Qian,
No. 1 seat in the A-row row.”
Xu Qian had already found out about the rules of the palace examination. These paper reading officials looked at him with a cold face, not because they had a grudge against him, but just deliberately showed the majesty of the paper reading officials. He didn't say anything, his eyes
He glanced at Gui Xiang, who was there, and then sat obediently in his seat.
When other tribute students arrived one after another, these people became much more embarrassed. The rainwater on their bodies could be twisted out with their hands. They were so cold that they shook. Seeing Xu Qian who was dry, they felt very jealous.
.
Everyone saluted the examiners one by one, and the examiners frowned. After all, there was no weather forecast in this era, and I didn’t expect that there would be heavy rain today. Now the candidates are all wet like this. I’m afraid it’s not suitable for the exam, so some examiners stood up.
I invited a eunuch to come and talk in a low voice. The eunuch understood and hurriedly went there. After a while, the eunuch went back and said aloud: "Please go to the side hall to change into dry clothes."
Everyone was ashamed of a general amnesty, which made Xu Qian, who was gloating, feel a little disappointed and he couldn't help but complain: "It turns out that he can still change his clothes. It's a pity. If they were asked to take the exam like this, it would be interesting." (To be continued. Please search for astronomy,
