Although he agreed, Gao Pingshi was still a little worried about Zhu Yijun's "wonderful strategy". The main reason was that he felt that the matter of finding a consort for the third princess was not enough to appease Empress Dowager Li - if Empress Dowager Li really took this matter
If the matter is considered to be detrimental to the honor of the daughter.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic was not really worried about losing his head because of this. After all, he had placed an insurance policy on Empress Dowager Li several years ago. The Empress Dowager Rensheng in Ciqing Palace would not look at him.
People die because of injustice.
However, if Empress Dowager Li is determined to cause trouble for him, it will be very annoying, and it may affect the progress of his various plans. Especially at the moment, his biggest task is to pass the Jinshi examination, and
If you pass the exam, you will also have to participate in the library selection. Both of these things can be easily affected by Concubine Li.
The so-called imperial examination refers to the selection of shujishi. In the Ming Dynasty, the first-class Jinshi did not need to be selected and entered the Hanlin Academy directly. The second- and third-class Jinshi were required to take the shujishi examination. Those who won the shujishi went to the Hanlin Academy to receive "training"
, usually after two to three years, the post will be dismissed and officials will be awarded.
There are three places in total for the first-class Jinshi, which are the so-called top pick, second place, and top pick. Although Gao pragmatism is Jieyuan from Henan, most northern scholars in this era are not the opponents of southern scholars in examinations. Although Gao pragmatism won the third prize in a row
Xie Yuan, but those were all exams in Henan, and there were no masters from Jiangnan Gongyuan among them.
Now he has to compete with all the national candidates, and he is not sure that he will be able to squeeze into the first class and get a "Jinshi". He fully hopes that as long as he can get into the second class "Jinshi", it will be great, and even if he can only get a
Although it is a bit embarrassing that a top three person "comes from the same background as a Jinshi", it is acceptable.
However, privately Gao Pragmatic feels that as long as he can pass the general examination, even if he ranks at the bottom, his final result in the final palace examination should not be top three - the final decision on the ranking in the palace examination is Zhu Yijun!
As long as his highly pragmatic test papers can pass the general examination, those procedures such as name anonymity will be removed, because no one "dare" to doubt that the emperor's selection of talents is unfair - the selection of talents is all for him, why should he be unfair?
?
Of course, this is only a theoretical situation. In fact, it is entirely possible that it is unfair. At least Gao Pragmatic is confident that Zhu Yijun will be unfair: if he only gets the second or third place in the top three, Zhu Yijun will definitely rank him higher than someone else.
Mention the top two, because this matter not only involves their relationship as monarch and minister, but also involves the emperor's face - how can my classmate be ranked top three!
But it would be bad if Empress Dowager Li was determined to ruin her own good deeds. Although she has not directly participated in the handling of government affairs in recent years, it does not mean that she does not have the ability. It is just that the strict harem system of the Ming Dynasty made
She didn't want to cause gossip. After all, it was common for officials to scold the emperor. It would be a miracle to scold the Queen Mother. She would definitely be infamy for all eternity.
But generally speaking, as long as the examiner hints that someone is not successful, how dare the examiner dare to confront Yizhi? Besides, Empress Dowager Li can say that she is just doing this to polish him or her, and it will still be used in the future. This Yizhi
Who dares to disobey?
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic felt that it was best not to make the menopausal Empress Dowager Li angry.
However, when he raised the issue tactfully, Zhu Yijun seemed disapproving and waved his hand: "Pragmatically, you are worrying too much. The queen mother loves Yao'e and the others very much. As long as you know that I have left this matter to you.
, for Yao'e's sake, she won't do anything to you."
Gao pragmatically said: It's hard to say this. It's possible to give me a slap in the face... but I don't want to be slapped!
At this time, the third princess suddenly interjected: "Actually, there is a way to do this, we can do it together."
Both Zhu Yijun and Gao Yijun looked at her. Gao Yijun didn't want to compete with Zhu Yijun, so he didn't ask. As expected, Zhu Yijun asked: "What can I do?"
The third princess said: "I'm trying to find a way to let my uncle speak. As long as my uncle speaks, the queen mother will definitely be able to calm down."
Gao Jingshi praised in his heart: What a good idea. If it hadn't been for your brother's idea just now, if I knew that your mother wanted to punish me, the first way I would have thought of would have been to bribe your uncle... Anyway, this is not the first time for me.
He is very experienced in doing this job. Besides, your uncle is also very reliable. The most important characteristic is that although the price is always high, as long as the money is in place, the matter will be done. I still like to cooperate with him.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, hesitated a little, and said: "Uncle Mo, he is very safe in his work, but..." He turned his eyes to Gao Yongshi, and suddenly realized something, and said with relief: "But fortunately,
Be pragmatic and you are not short of money, right? Otherwise, this matter will be like this. If you are not afraid of spending money, go to Li Wenjin and work together to ensure that the mother's anger will turn into joy."
Being pragmatic and not afraid of spending money, the matter was settled.
Just after the conversation was over, Zhu Yijun cheered up and said: "It's rare for me to leave the palace like this. To be pragmatic, think of some fun places and let's go and have fun together."
Your Majesty, do you want to kill me? You brought your two sisters out and asked me to take you to fun places? Do you know that the entertainment life in your era is very scarce?
When Zhu Yijun saw Gao Jingshi and heard his words, his first reaction was to glance at the two princesses quietly. He seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden, his face turned a little red, and he coughed dryly: "Uh... I mean, that's it.
, understand the sentiments of the people and so on.”
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: First of all, there is no need to think about brothels and boats. With our staffing today, going to such a place does not feel like going to consume, but more like destroying a place;
Secondly, the Cricket Club is no good. It doesn’t matter if you lose money, but 70% of the backstage bosses of Jingshi Casino are nobles. If they know that I take the emperor to gamble, they will have to cry and beg me to take the emperor to their casino every day from now on.
, that’s not a good idea.
It’s not appropriate to go on a sightseeing tour again. Most of the sightseeing tours have to go out of the city, mainly for those from the west of Beijing. At the very least, they have to go to Xiangshan and Yuquan Mountains, but going out of the city itself is not possible. What if something happens to the emperor?
Unexpectedly, I was really screwed. All my investment was in Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun did not make any bets.
Oops... there are no activities that we can take these three people to do together. What should I do?
Seeing Gao Pragmatic's embarrassed face, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he even started sweating on his forehead. He asked, "Why, you usually do nothing else but study?"
The things I usually do have nothing to do with you. Apart from studying, I am busy making money and spending money!
Gao Pragmatic looked embarrassed and sighed: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. I have really been busy studying in the past two years..." As he said this, he suddenly felt blessed and thought of an entertainment activity. He immediately said: "But I am here. When I was in Xinzheng, I saw Jia Ci playing a game with some aunts, and maybe the two princesses would also like it."
Zhu Yijun scratched his head and thought to himself: I asked you to have fun for me, how could they possibly like it?
But after all, he was a big brother who was very generous to his younger brothers and sisters, so he still nodded: "What game?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Yi Zixi."
"Leaf opera?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, obviously he had never heard of it: "How many leaves are used to perform the opera?"
Before Gao Jingshi had time to explain, the third princess Zhu Yao'e burst into laughter, making Zhu Yijun's face turn red with laughter, and he coughed dryly: "Young sister, do you know how to sing this leaf opera?"
Zhu Yao'e smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Emperor, the Yezi Opera is not about singing. Mr. Gao said it too elegantly, but it is actually just a slap in the face."
The third princess obviously knew the origin of the Ye Zi Opera, and she explained it smoothly to the ivory tower boy Zhu Yijun.
Ma Diao, whose scientific name is Ye Zixi, is a card game that originated in the Tang Dynasty. Because the cards are only as big as leaves, it is named Ye Zixi. This game has a total of forty cards. According to the rules of "One Hundred Thousand Guan" and "Wan Guan" ", "suozi", "wenqian", etc., are divided into different suits. As soon as the game starts, money is thrown. For example, Empress Li and Empress Xiao Zhou of the Five Dynasties were die-hard players of this entertainment activity. Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty is said to have He also knows this well.
