Chapter 214: Qin Hui, a close minister and favorite minister, died
Chapter 214 The close and beloved minister, Qin Hui is dead
The roll call continues.
"In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign, the second place in Yiwei and Yijia was He Su!"
A young man in his late twenties came out to express gratitude.
Lin Yi looked at He Su. He had read the history of the Song Dynasty. Historically, He Su should have been the number one scholar in this year, and later became deputy prime minister.
Now Lin Yi is here, knocking him out of the top spot and making He Su the second pick.
"In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign, Huang Ju ranked third in the first and second place of Jinshi in Yiwei!"
The top three top picks, the second top pick, and the top pick are all called individually. For the next imperial edict, someone will go out to Donghua Gate to sing the call.
After that, for the second class, everyone finished reading, and then went out together to do the roll call.
When singing the third grade, Lin Yi heard a very familiar name, "In the fifth year of Zhenghe, the 128th place in the top three grades of Yiwei Jinshi, Qin Hui!"
Depend on,
It turned out to be Qin Hui.
Lin Yi turned around and looked.
I saw Qin Hui in the team, who was about 27 or 28 years old. He was slightly thin, with high cheekbones and small eyes, but he was shining brightly.
When Lin Yi was looking at Qin Hui, Qin Hui's eyes happened to be looking at him. Seeing the champion looking at him, Qin Hui quickly smiled and held his hands in greeting.
Lin Yi smiled back and nodded slightly in return.
When Qin Hui saw the number one scholar returning the gift, he felt happy and made up his mind to make friends with him when he went back to the Luming Banquet. Everyone knew that the future of the number one scholar was limitless, and one step ahead of him was three steps away.
Qin Hui didn't know.
There was murderous intention behind Lin Yi's smile.
I was thinking about killing this girl if I had a chance.
What, you said he hasn’t made any mistakes yet, no, no, no, why don’t you just want to kill him if you see him unhappy?
Two hundred and eighty-six Jinshi finished reading.
Another thank you.
Afterwards, it was the highlight moment for Jinke Jinshi, first riding horses and riding through the streets, and then attending the Qionglin Banquet in the evening.
Jin Wuwei opened the way, and the servants held the champion lantern and walked in front carrying the red and yellow flags and plaques with the name of the champion. Lin Yi was wearing the bright red robe given by the emperor, a high hat on his head, and a silk whip in his hand.
Hang big red flowers and ride on a tall horse.
The second best scholar followed behind on horseback, while the other Jinshi walked.
The procession came out of Donghua Gate. People were standing on both sides of the street, three floors inside and three floors outside. When they saw the No. 1 Scholar coming out, they immediately cheered.
"The number one scholar is so handsome!"
"Lin Yilin is probably the most handsome number one scholar in this dynasty so far."
"I heard that Jinke's number one scholar is excellent in poetry, music, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. One poem made Cui Niannu, the oiran, serve him wholeheartedly."
"I want to marry the number one scholar!" a girl shouted.
"Go ahead and dream, I still want to." Another girl shouted.
Lin Yi smiled and waved to the crowd, took out the copper coins from his arms and threw them out. Countless people immediately scrambled to grab them. These were not ordinary coins. They had the style of a top scholar on them. Take them back and give them to your children to hang around their necks. It is said that they can make children happy.
Read smarter.
When passing by a brothel,
The girls upstairs shouted together, "Lin Zhuangyuan, please come to Zuihua House as a guest in the future. Lin Zhuangyuan, please come to Zuihua House as a guest in the future. Lin Zhuangyuan, please come to Zuihua House as a guest in the future."
He shouted three times in a row.
Lin Yixin said that this boss is a marketing talent, and he is just trying to use his own traffic to advertise.
No matter how.
All in all, it was very lively.
He gained a lot of titles like "the most beautiful man in the Song Dynasty" and "the majestic number one scholar".
As for the second, third, and even other Jinshi, they were completely outclassed and had no sense of existence at all. This is the gap between the first place and the following rankings.
The four great joys of life are the rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the inscription on the gold medal list. Speaking of which, the other three joys can be encountered by ordinary people, but the inscription on the gold medal list is something that very few people can encounter.
In this imperial examination era where only high-achieving students were educated, being named on the gold medal list was the king's rule. From then on, they would gain favor from the emperor, status, dignity, wealth, and beautiful women would follow one after another. In the morning, they were still studying hard in the thatched house, and in the evening they were already in Qionglin.
The guests at the banquet can be said to be proud of the spring breeze and see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. Being named on the gold list is the real pinnacle of happiness in life.
That night,
Qionglin banquet.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty appeared and gave him royal wine and palace flowers. Lin Yi, on behalf of Jinke Jinshi, presented poems to the emperor. Of course, he was still flattering.
The emperor did not stay long. After accepting the poems, he left, leaving Cai Jing and others to host the banquet.
drink wine,
chat,
Build relationships.
Lin Yi went to propose a toast to Cai Jing, Wang Fu, and all the ministers. His face was full of respect. He couldn't help it. Cai Jing and Wang Fu had contributed more than 80 million taels of wealth to him. How could he be disrespectful when he saw such a big customer?
A cup of it.
After Lin Yi finished his toast, all the Jinshi from the same department came over to toast him as the number one scholar. Being in the same department and the same year was a bond of relationship. Lin Yi had a bright future, so these people were naturally willing to make friends with him.
Qin Hui also came to propose a toast.
Lin Yi looked at him with a smile: "Do good things in the future. I am in the same department. We will support each other and make progress together from now on."
Qin Hui was overjoyed.
I didn't expect that the number one scholar was so easy to talk to.
He lowered his voice and said: "From now on, I will be in the same department, and I will naturally take the lead as the number one scholar."
Lin Yi smiled and asked: "By the way, where do you live? If there is a poetry party or something, can I ask you to go with me?"
Qin Hui quickly reported the address of an inn.
At the end of the Qionglin banquet, some people had drunk too much. The palace servants were responsible for seeing them off. Two servants helped the slightly drunk Lin Yi get into the carriage and asked: "No. 1 Scholar, where are you going?"
Lin Yi thought for a while.
"Go to Huaju Yashe."
The inn is dry, cold, and no one is waiting on you. It's not as comfortable as staying in Niannu.
The servant heard the address,
The heart says,
This man is really a romantic number one. He paraded on horseback and lived in a brothel directly after the Qionglin banquet. He is probably the first person in this dynasty.
Lin Yi arrives.
Cui Niannu quickly took Linglong and helped her into the house, "I didn't expect you to come back tonight. I thought you wanted to avoid suspicion."
Lin Yi chuckled and said: "When you are named on the gold medal list, it is natural for you to have a wedding night with flowers and candles to celebrate your grand entrance. Nian Nu, please wait for me to take a bath."
Red candles flicker.
The curtains swing lightly.
Linglong waited beside him with a red face.
Cui Niannu hugged Lin Yi and said softly: "Lang Lang, if you don't take Linglong, you will be considered a popular young man."
Linglong is very beautiful.
Delicate baby face.
His head dropped to his chest in shame.
"Is Linglong willing?" Lin Yi asked.
"Being able to serve the number one scholar is a blessing that Linglong has earned over several lifetimes." Linglong whispered.
This is true.
Today, there are many people riding horses on the street, shouting to give birth to a child for Lin Yi. He is the Wenkuixing star of the Song Dynasty and the number one scholar.
then.
Lin Yi asked for Linglong.
After Jinshi enters high school, the remaining matters will be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. On the one hand, someone will notify the local area, make a plaque and send it back to the hometown, and then allocate funds for the local area to build the memorial arch.
The Jinshi are waiting for their assignment in the capital.
This time can be as short as half a month, or as long as one or two months. During this period, there will naturally be many people who have connections. Cai Jing's Mansion, Wang Fu's Mansion, and other adults' mansions have begun to become lively again.
And people discovered,
Lin Yi remained silent.
Just when he was doubtful, Lin Yi received an order from the eunuch, asking him to go to the painting academy, saying that His Majesty wanted to see him at the painting academy.
Lin Yi went happily.
The Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Academy was a painting institution specially established by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Painters from all over the country could pass the examination to enter the painting academy to work. Zhang Zeduan, the famous author of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" later worked in the Hanlin Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
Calculate the time.
It seems that he is already there, Lin Yixin said that he should meet that guy when he has time.
In the spacious and bright studio, Song Huizong stood in front of several paintings and admired them, including the pictures of Li Shishi and Cui Niannu painted by Lin Yi.
Song Huizong was not trustworthy.
Cui Niannu's painting was initially said to be borrowed for two days and then returned, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and in the end I just didn't mention it at all.
Naturally, Cui Niannu's employer, the prince, did not dare to come to the palace to ask for it from Song Huizong, so the painting remained in Song Huizong's hands.
Next to it, there are several pictures of beautiful women, made by other painters from the art academy. They were originally good paintings with superb skills, but when compared with Lin Yi's paintings, they immediately became too dim.
The eunuch took Lin Yi to Song Huizong's independent painting studio in the painting academy.
"I have met His Majesty."
Lin Yi bowed and saluted.
Song Huizong was dressed in a scholar's plain robe. He looked at Lin Yi and said with a smile: "Lin Qing, tell me how you painted these two pictures of beauties. I will never tire of them."
Lin Yi took two steps forward and chatted with Zhao Ji about the techniques of calligraphy and painting creation.
With Lin Yi's masterful skills in traditional Chinese painting, coupled with the techniques of later generations, Song Huizong heard those theories that he had never been exposed to before, and felt that a bridge to the higher palace of painting appeared in front of him.
"Okay, okay, did Lin Qing think of all this by himself?" Song Huizong asked.
"Back to the official house, I was just thinking about it randomly, but later I found that it can be used." Lin Yi said in a very humble tone.
"Lin Qing, if you draw another picture of a beautiful woman, I can personally watch and learn the techniques you mentioned." Song Huizong said.
"I accept the decree."
There is no shortage of pens, inks, paper and inkstones here, and they were used by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. They are definitely the best in the Song Dynasty. Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you paint the four beauties?"
Song Huizong suddenly became interested.
The term "four beauties" most likely started in the Song Dynasty. The literati in the Song Dynasty were very elegant and ranked the four beauties. Some people also painted for the four beauties. Song Huizong himself also painted the four beauties. Of course, most of the characters were made up and imagined.
It's more about reflecting who is who through the foils around them.
Xi Shi painted gauze by the water, wild geese beside Zhaojun, Diao Chan worshiping the moon, and Yang Yuhuan dressed in fine clothes admiring peonies.
Lin Yi felt that there were actually too many ways to express them, and there was no need to be like others, such as Yang Yuhuan. Instead of painting peonies, wouldn't it be better to paint "hot spring water washes away the fat".
"Lin Qing, who do you plan to start painting from?" Zhao Ji asked.
"How about starting with Yang Yuhuan?"
Zhao Ji nodded and watched Lin Yi paint expectantly. The silk cloth was spread out and Lin Yi began to write. Zhao Ji watched carefully.
Two hours later,
A picture of a beautiful woman taking a bath is good.
The woman in the painting is extremely beautiful, elegant and elegant, with a lazy and charming expression, tender skin, and is dressed in a thin veil. Her important parts are half-covered and half-covered, but the more she looks like this, the more attractive she becomes. Zhao Ji
The more I watch it, the more I like it.
Is it right,
Are these the four beauties he likes?
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty read softly: "Looking back and smiling, the six palaces are pink and white without color. In the cold spring, I bathe in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the fat. The waiter lifts up the fragile body, it is the beginning of the new grace. The clouds and temples are decorated with golden steps.
Shaking, the hibiscus tent warms the spring night. The spring night is bitter and short, and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will not go to court early."
"Finally I know why Xuanzong didn't go to court early. I don't want to go to court with such a noble concubine by my side."
Song Huizong set a good example for himself in not going to court, but he did not want to think about the fate of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.
"Lin Qing is really a genius in painting. From now on, you can study art in the painting academy!"
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty awarded Lin Yi a painting academy title on the spot.
The Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting has professional titles such as dean, Xuezheng, Yixue, Daizhao, Jihou, worshiper, and painting student. Song Huizong was the dean of the Academy. Xuezheng was mainly responsible for management, while Yixue was equivalent to the professor level.
A simple comparison is that Huizong of Song Dynasty was the dean, Xuezheng was the deputy dean in charge of work, Lin Yi was a professor, Dai Zhao was an associate professor, Zhihou was a lecturer, etc.
This is not a formal official position, it is just a status in the art academy. It does not affect Lin Yi's other official positions. The advantage is that he can get an extra salary and subsidies.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Yi quickly thanked him.
"You are tired too. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow and continue to draw other pictures of beauties for me." Song Huizong said.
Lin Yi quickly responded and left the painting academy under the guidance of the eunuch.
Song Huizong stood in front of the beautiful picture of Concubine Yang and looked at it blankly. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Suddenly he got excited and said, "Take the painting and let's go back to the palace."
"By the way, which concubine is plump?" Song Huizong asked the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch quickly said the names of the two people, "Well, call them all to serve. This painting will be hung in the room. When they come in, ask them to wear only tulle and cover their faces with gauze."
"It's Your Majesty."
The next few days.
Lin Yi would go to the art academy every day to draw four beauties for Song Huizong. Later, after the four beauties were painted, Song Huizong was still not satisfied and asked Lin Yi to continue painting ten beauties.
Feng Xiaolian, who is loved by three thousand people, Su Daji, a generation of enchantress, Zhao Feiyan, who dances on the palm, Zheng Dan, who is as beautiful as Xi Shi, Bao Si, who is rich in gold and smiles, and Zhen Mi, who is said to be the "Luo God" because of "Luo Shen Fu".
The fact that Lin Yi was summoned by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to paint every day naturally spread, and it was no secret at all.
Now everyone has a definition for Lin Yi.
Close ministers.
This Lin Yi will definitely become a close official of His Majesty's official family.
Some people also know, such as Cai Jing, that with Lin Yi's character, he will not only be a close minister, but will definitely become a favorite.
But Lin Yi is qualified to become a favorite.
Looks handsome.
The top scholar in Jinke, the greatest talent in the world.
Proficient in poetry, song, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
He also flatters and flatters others.
Lin Yi's imperial examination poems were circulated, and the scholars were all very clever after reading it. He was able to use complimentary words to such an extreme. It was so shameless.
That kind of people,
Has all the ingredients for success.
It would be unreasonable for him not to become a favorite of his close ministers.
And just half a month later, news suddenly came out that His Majesty was very happy because Lin Yi had made the top ten beauties, and ordered to reward Lin Yi with an inner city house to settle down.
jealous,
Countless people are envious and jealous.
This time, it was not just the new scholars who were envious and jealous, but also most officials of the Song Dynasty.
I heard that the house covers an area of more than ten acres, has dozens of rooms, and is complete with pavilions, rockeries, and lakes. The most important thing is that it is located in the inner city, making it easy to enter the palace. Generally, only high-ranking ministers will receive rewards.
, such as Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Lin Yi is just a newcomer who was not even assigned a job, but got a luxury house first, how can we not make people jealous.
I think back then, even though Su Dongpo was a great person all his life, he never received a Bianjing house as a reward from the emperor.
so,
What kind of minister is capable?
You just can't compare with your closest ministers and favorite ministers.
He is also a very capable, talented and shameless favored minister. Most people can't do anything to him. Now, everyone has seen that Lin Yi will definitely rise in the future, and he will rise at a rocket-like speed.
Gao Qiu,
You can become a captain by playing football.
Wang Fu,
If you are handsome and have a sweet mouth, you can become a young man.
Cai Jing,
It can be said that his calligraphy played a great role in the third phase.
Zhou Bangyan,
He prostituted Xiaomi Li Shishi who was kept by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and still made him a high-ranking official just because he wrote good poems.
So for someone like Zhao Ji, how could he not like or promote someone who is more versatile than all the above?
Cai Jingfu.
Cai Jing, Cai Chen and his son were drinking tea and chatting. Speaking of Lin Yi, Cai Jing said: "Originally, I planned to marry Shu'er to him to get closer to him. I didn't expect that Lin Yi and Your Majesty would be getting closer in the past few days.
Now that I think about it, I’m afraid it’s a little inappropriate to propose marriage.”
Shu'er in Cai Jing's words is one of Cai Fen's legitimate daughters. She is 19 years old this year. She is pretty good-looking. She has a good tutor who is well-educated and has received a complete education in housekeeping.
If Lin Yi married Cai Jing's granddaughter, they would become a family. But now it seems that Lin Yi is so favored that it may be inappropriate for him to call him grandpa. I'm afraid Lin Yi is unwilling to do so.
"Lin Yi can be used, but difficult to control. From now on, he will definitely become His Majesty's favorite. We may not be able to match him. We have to wait and see how to deal with it." Cai Jing said.
"Father, what position do you plan to assign to Lin Yi? Will he stay in Beijing or be sent abroad?" Cai Feng asked.
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "This matter is no longer something I can decide. Yesterday, His Majesty personally asked someone to hand over the note, and Lin Yi has already arranged it."
"What position?"
"Secretary, walking beside His Majesty."
During this time,
Lin Yi could see Song Huizong almost every day. Taking advantage of the opportunity of contact with Song Huizong, Lin Yi kept collecting information, including Song Huizong's appearance, height, body shape, weight, voice, way of speaking, mantras, and walking posture.
It is actually very difficult to completely replicate a person.
At the same time, Lin Yi also carefully observed the people around Song Huizong, including the several eunuchs who usually served him.
Time flies and nearly a month passes.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs finally issued a document.
On this day, all Jinke Jinshi gathered at the Ministry of Civil Affairs to wait for their jobs to be announced.
As the number one scholar in the first class, the first thing to do was to announce Lin Yi's arrangement. The official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lin Yi for being the number one scholar. He has been given the post of Secretary and Provincial Secretary Lang and is specially given to walk by His Majesty's side."
The so-called Secretary Lang is an official in charge of Jixian Academy, History Museum, Zhaowen Museum, and Secret Pavilion Picture Library. His official position is not high, but he is very close to the emperor. He is said to be the librarian of the Song Dynasty, but he also has the responsibility of recording and organizing the emperor's official documents.
Therefore, I have full access to all official affairs of the Song Dynasty.
It is an excellent position to train a prime minister.
As for walking beside His Majesty, even though he is not an official, he will summon Lin Yi to serve in the palace at any time, which shows how much His Majesty likes Lin Yi.
People around me kept congratulating me.
Lin Yi is also very satisfied with this position. There are piles of materials in the library. Through those materials, he can view all the information about the Song Dynasty, which will be of great help to his subsequent plans.
The second place was He Su, who was awarded the title of Secretary of the school.
The third place is Huang Ju, who is the official minister.
Others also had their own arrangements. Most of the second-level officers would stay in the capital and be assigned to the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Yamen for official duties. After the third-level officers, they would be decentralized to more local areas. Lin Yi listened carefully to Qin Hui's assignment and was appointed professor of Mizhou, in charge of local affairs.
Cultural and educational officials.
That night,
The Jinke Scholars gathered together now. They will go their separate ways from now on. It will be extremely difficult to get together again. Some people may never see each other again in their lives. I want to have a good relationship before leaving.
As early as a few days ago,
Someone rented several large boats and connected them with baffles in the middle, preparing to hold a grand Bianhe boat party.
There were more than a dozen tables on each boat, with more than 200 Jinshi, the women who served, and the girls who played the piano and sang. The scene was very lively, with people walking around toasting and chatting. Lin Yi was naturally one of the focus of the crowd.
Countless people came to toast him.
Lin Yi has been with the emperor almost every day these days. Any fool knows that Lin Yi will surely prosper in the future, so how can he not want to build a good relationship with him.
Lin Yi is also very generous. No matter who comes to toast, the wine will be drunk until the glass is dry. Of course, only he knows whether there is cheating. Anyway, the empty wine jar in the space is almost full, and Lin Yi's actions have won more people.
The favor of many people.
Unparalleled literary talent,
A person who is neither arrogant nor impatient nor coquettish.
Simply perfect.
The jealousy that people had in the past is all gone. There is no way, there is no way to compare with others, it is not on the same level.
At this time,
Qin Hui came over to toast Lin Yi.
Lin Yi drank it with a smile.
Qin Hui was obviously a little taller, his face was flushed, his eyes were a little red, and his body was swaying a little when he just walked over the plank of the ship.
Qin Hui was naturally full of compliments, and Lin Yi also chatted with him for a few words. At this time, someone came over to toast Lin Yi, and Qin Hui took his leave.
Just when Qin Hui walked to the board of the ship,
Suddenly my hamstrings went numb.
He twisted his body and plunged into the river next to him.
This incident was naturally caused by Lin Yi. While chatting with others, he secretly threw a stone and hit Qin Hui in the crook of his leg. His intention was to make Qin Hui look ugly.
Lin Yi is proficient in archery and can practice concealed weapons no matter what. He is not only good at bow and arrow, but also good at everything else about shooting.
"Someone fell into the water!"
Everyone was anxiously calling for someone to be rescued.
In fact, everyone didn't pay too much attention to it. It was already May and the water was already warm. If it fell, it would just be a drowned rat.
The servants in charge of painting the boats came over, and someone jumped into the river to fish him out. After a while, several people worked together to move Qin Hui ashore.
Some people next to me joked, "This meeting will make you famous, and people will talk about it many years later, hahaha."
Losing one's reputation is also making one famous.
But then someone discovered that something was wrong. Qin Hui seemed to be out of breath. Someone immediately called the steward. When the steward saw it, he immediately said: "He has choked to death. He needs to see a doctor quickly."
"Then go find it." Someone said.
Someone nearby shouted: "If you can't find it in time, why don't you carry it over and rescue it."
The steward quickly carried Qin Hui off the boat.
The reception continues.
Lin Yi didn't pay much attention and continued drinking and chatting with others, teasing Qin Hui. Lin Yi felt very comfortable and drank more wine.
In the end, Lin Yi was sent to Huaju Yashe in a daze.
He vaguely remembered,
Nian Nu served him, and as if that wasn't enough, Linglong also served him.
taste,
Very beautiful.
the next day,
As soon as Lin Yi got up, he heard the news that Qin Hui was dead!
That's right, Qin Hui fell into the river last night. He was already drunk. He forgot to struggle and choked on his water. At that time, he was out of breath. Lin Yi thought he would be saved, but he didn't expect it because the delay was too long. When he found the doctor,
, people are completely cold.
Lin Yi looked at the sky.
The weather is excellent today.
sunny.
Could it be,
Things are about to change in the Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, how could Qin Hui die so easily?
Could it be that I am the son of destiny in this world, and those bad people will all die when they encounter me?
