The February exam is over, and there is also the March palace exam. Although the palace exam will basically not be dismissed, the first, second, and third grade are different, and the future careers are very different. The new tribute students did not have time to be proud, so they started to bury their heads in the palace exam. Preparing for the exam.
However, since the list of the exams was released and there were many people copying the list, the top few were well known to the officials in the capital. Huiyuan was Yayuan from the Nanzhili Township Examination, and Yayuan was Jieyuan from the Nanzhili Township Examination. These two people were just a temporary Yu Liang and Xie Pi, the second son of Xie Ge Lao, ranked fourth, but was Jie Yuan in the Zhili Provincial Examination. He had long been famous in Beijing. If he was the top scorer of the father and son, it would be a good story. The above three people, He has become the most popular candidate for the top scorer in this year's Spring Festival. Some people have already opened a banker and used these people to take the game.
When Shen Rui heard Changshou mention this, he also made up his mind and asked Changshou to suppress five hundred taels of silver and defeat Chen Jin and become the top scholar.
When Changshou came back and reported the matter to Shen Rui, he said, "I really let my second brother talk. Among the three, Mr. Jin has the highest odds... I really underestimate people. Even if Mr. Jin is just Yayuan this time, It may not be as good as Huiyuan as a talented person. Even if everyone thinks Huiyuan is jealous now, Young Master Jin should be in front of Mr. Xie..."
The dealer opened a dealer to earn money and pump money. The more likely he had to win, the odds would naturally end the month, and the more he had a negative goal, the higher the odds. As early as February, there were also people in Beijing who were doing the game, and at that time they were doing Huiyuan. Chen Jin is still the hottest candidate. Now that the exam is over, Chen Jin is still among the popular candidates, but his popularity is getting colder, not as good as the newly released Huiyuan Gu Dingchen and the old master Xie Pi.
Shen Rui said: "Isn't it better to have high odds? If you lose less, it's not interesting."
Changshou couldn't help but wonder: "Is the second brother so confident in Young Master Jin?"
Shen Rui said: "Since it's a gambling game, it's all about luck."
Changshou smiled and said, "That villain must hope that Young Master Jin will be lucky, otherwise the second brother's money will be wasted."
Shen Rui smiled, was Chen Jin's luck good? He stopped performing in the exam room, but was outside the exam room.
Although "father and son are the top scorer" is a good story, Wang Hua and Wang Shouren did not succeed at that time. Now Xie Qian, Xie Pi and his son may not succeed. Xie Qian is already a cabinet master, and others may not be happy to "add icing on the cake" of the Xie family.
As for Chen Jin's luck, it depends on the intention of Emperor Hongzhi. "The father and son are both top scholars" are a good story, and "the brothers are both top scholars" are also a good story. Chen Li is a lecturer and a close minister of the emperor, and is not as prominent as Xie Qian. Many family members have served in office, but after Chen Cang passed away, the remaining grades are not high.
Although Chen Cang's "Hundred Days of Sacrifice" has passed, according to the current rules, Shen Rui, a filial son, should stay behind closed doors and refuse to communicate with each other. Therefore, in addition to the family members and in-laws, Shen Rui began to study at home after showing off his face. Life. Before this, Zhu Yunming came to say goodbye.
The Wei School's grades are here. As long as the palace examination is not abnormal, they are mostly at the forefront of the second grade. If they are not admitted to the Common Court, they can also be an official in Beijing. Therefore, Zhu Yunming decided to leave Beijing first.
I don’t know if it was the setbacks in the previous few times or the persuasion of Xu, Zhu Yunming did not show much depression. However, he did not give up on the imperial examination, otherwise he would not have politely rejected Xu’s proposal to go directly to the official position. He was appointed as a juren, after all It is not the right way. Since Zhu Yunming wants to be admitted to the imperial examination, it is normal for him to not be so.
Xu was just an aunt, and she had only suggestions and could not make decisions for Zhu Yunming. Since he was unwilling, he refused to mention it. However, in front of Shen Rui, Xu couldn't help but sigh: "This is the fifth time he was tested by the Ministry of Rites. If you fail, you can see that you have no luck here... Although it is difficult for the official to reach the fifth grade, at this age, even if you pass the Jinshi exam and have a seniority, do you still want to be a minister of the cabinet?"
Shen Rui said: "Maybe I wish my cousin would not want to fall into the glory of his ancestors..."
Zhu Yunming's grandfather was a Jinshi, and his grandfather was a Jinshi. If he hadn't lost his father at a young age, he would have probably also a Jinshi. In the eyes of ordinary people, Juren is already an extraordinary fame, and it is nothing in Zhu Yunming's eyes.
Xu sighed and said, "If you are really obsessed with the career of officialdom, you shouldn't go back to Suzhou. You can't be too arrogant when you are a person.
Zhu Yunming's teacher, Tanka Wang Yang, is now the Minister of Personnel. Even if he is preparing for the exam, his social experience in Beijing will definitely be much more open than in Suzhou. However, Zhu Yunming is easy-going and easy-going, but he has the aloofness of a literati in his bones. Before each exam, he takes the exam.
After coming to Beijing, he left Beijing after falling behind, and did not rely on Wang Yang in the name of his master and apprentice. The two were named master and apprentice. In fact, Wang Yang was only ten years older than Zhu Yunming, and he was also sad that Zhu Yunming couldn't bear to cling to him.
Xu's words were difficult to say, but Shen Rui couldn't say anything, so he said in a different way: "Cousin Wei is a young talent, and he will definitely be able to get a good ranking in the palace examination. Second-class students should be fine, and it is not easy to say it.
Hopefully.”
This year, the 303 people will be admitted to the official position, 3 people in the first class, and 95 people in the second class are all fixed, and the remaining 205 people will be the same as Jinshi. The results of the Wei School’s examination are ahead, as long as there is no fault in the palace examination.
, is also ahead of the second grade, and is expected to be admitted to the Common People's Court.
Shen Rui remembered another person on the list of today's exams, that is Yan Song, the famous prime minister of the Jiajing Dynasty. Yan Song was a tribute scholar of today's exams, and his exams were also among the top. Wei School not only was the same year as Yan Song, but they also joined the same party.
Is the Common House?
Xu's face was not happy, but instead shook his head and said, "That may not be."
Shen Rui was puzzled for a moment.
Although the examination after each subject is not strictly followed by the examination rankings, only the new Jinshi in the second and third grades are qualified to take the exam. In addition, the Shujishi is the "Captain of the Prime Minister", and all the people who choose it are
You won’t choose a Jinshi who is too old. Even if you are over 40, even if you are ranked in the second grade, you may not be able to pass the Shujishi.
Wei School is twenty-three years old and has a good ranking in the exam. He is the best candidate for Shujishi.
Xu sighed and said, "The exams of the Kunchangyuan are not only examining articles, but also examining the ancestors of the three generations. Although the Xu family is just a school brother, they are afraid that those who are interested will mention it."
When Shen Rui heard this, he was stunned.
In this dynasty, the Hanlin Academy is not allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy is not allowed to enter the cabinet. Therefore, the Shujishi is called the "Cuting Prime Minister". The Jinshi exam is taken every three years, but not every subject is available, even if there is an exam.
The number of admissions is not fixed, with more than ten to twenty or thirty people. It can be seen that every quota is very popular, and it is common for candidates to fight each other.
However, although Xu Youzhen was falsely accused of exile, wasn’t it rehabilitated later? This will affect the future of his grandson? If the Wei Zheng had an hindrance in his career due to this reason, then Shen Rui, He Taizhi, and others, who were also the grandson of the Xu family, went on to go.
Not so? But why have others never mentioned this concern in front of themselves?
Xu saw what Shen Rui was thinking and said, "You are different from your schoolmate, you are a child of the Shen family."
Shen Rui thought about it and understood.
The father's clan is not obvious, the grandfather is a scholar, the father is a juren, and he is a gentry in Suzhou. When he arrives in Beijing, the family is nothing. If his father and grandfather are not obvious, the flaws of the mother's clan will be a reason to be criticized.
, after all, it is being regarded as a "soft bun".
Shen Rui is different. The Shen family has served as an official for several generations. The third emperor never regretted his marriage because of the Xu family's decline, and Chen Cang never was too slow to be his wife because of this. The father and son were able to reach the top position of the Nine Lords, which shows that in the eyes of the two generations of emperors, they did not turn it over. The meaning of the later account. Besides, Xu Youzhen is not the same, but for Emperor Yingzong, he is also a hero who has restored the throne.
There is the Shen family behind Shen Rui. If someone wants to make things difficult for the Shen family when he is in the exam, he has to consider the consequences of facing the Shen family. Similarly, there is the He family behind He Taizhi, and neither of them are "soft buns".
Compared with He Taizhi, Shen Rui is just an heir, not the Xu family's biological son, so it seems ridiculous to use the reasons from the Xu family to attack.
"Mother, don't you have to help Cousin Wei think of a way?" Shen Rui said.
Xu shook his head and said, "The school brother is too young, he is not a steady and comprehensive person, and his family is helpless. Instead of squeezing his head into the Common Courtyard, it is better to let it go. Although entering the Hanlin Academy is a good thing, it can be delayed in it. There are also many people who have not made progress for ten years or twenty years."
Although Wei Jiao was Xu's nephew, there was no relationship for Shen Rui. Since Xu did not want to intervene, Shen Rui would of course not be troublesome.
However, because of Wei School, Shen Rui thought of Chen Jin.
Chen Jin's innocence for three generations is nothing worthy of criticism. If he falls to the second grade, it should be okay to take the exam in the Common Court. Wei Jiao is the legitimate son of his family, his parents are spoiled and he brings the innocence of a literati; Chen Jin is not like that , it seems to be mature and steadfast, and it cannot be said to be in the eyes of those old men.
In a blink of an eye, March is coming, with the flowers and willow trees, and it is obvious that the palace examination period is coming.
Chen Quan came to find Shen Rui, and the two of them went to Chen Jin in Nancheng together.
"We're going to end tomorrow, we'll always come and have a look." Chen Quan rode on the horse and said so.
Shen Rui nodded and should be.
Chen Quan hesitated: "Although Brother Jin is filial, Zheng has already left the Shen family. How should we calculate it now that we live in this place?"
If the concubine of the Shen family was not qualified to accept the greetings from other legitimate sons; if the concubine of the Shen family was considered an outsider, what qualifications would be to show up as Chen Jin's elder? Chen Quan hesitated so much that he did not know that Chen had reached the end of the world. How to greet the house after the house.
Shen Rui said: "Let's see Brother Jin's arrangement."
Chen Jin is no longer a 14-year-old boy and a 22-year-old Jinshi. If he doesn't know what the legislation is, what's better to fall in the officialdom?
Chen Quan glanced at Shen Rui and said, "Brother Jin was just too soft-hearted. After all, he was his biological mother. I would advise him in a while, even if he wanted to be filial, he would not be a slutty person like this."
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "Although the third brother is kind, he doesn't hide his relatives. It's better to let Brother Jin make his own decisions."
Chen Quan frowned and said, "Let's see, if he is stubborn, I still have to say it."
As a candidate for the exam, Chen Jin brought his biological mother to his side, and no one would think about it. The mother and son have been farewell for many years, and reunion for a while is also a favor, but in the long run, there is no such reason. After all, from the perspective of theory, Chen Jin remembers the legitimate and the law. Sun is not the relationship between his legitimate mother and his illegitimate son, but his mother and son. Zheng, the biological mother, became only a concubine. Zheng has left the Shen family, and even the relationship between his illegitimate mother and son is not...
