The monthly ticket price increased from more than 500 to more than 700 in one day. Thank you everyone for your support! Last night, I finally finished writing the ending of Su Ye Gong Sheng, which I had been struggling with for a month, and I was finally able to let go of a big problem in my heart. The last fourteen today
hour, I hope you can help me vote for your precious monthly votes, and finally go crazy, there will be at least three updates today!
The examination fraud case in the twelfth year of Hongzhi was aroused. Two candidates, Tang Yin and Xu Jing, who were once famous in the local area, were dismissed from the examination. However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the candidates to take the examination. They failed in the examination in the early Ming Dynasty.
The students had to return to their hometown to take the examination again before they could take the examination again. Now it has been changed to once they win the examination, they can take the examination for life. The number of people taking the examination is naturally increasing day by day. This year, the number of candidates has reached nearly
Three thousand people, two examiners alone are far from enough. There are a total of seventeen examiners from the Hanlin Academy. Zhang Yuanzhen, the examiner, is nearly seventy this year, and his energy is often poor. Yang Tinghe, who is in the prime of life,
Became the real backbone.
The general examination ended on February 18th, and the rankings had to be determined and announced on February 23rd. Seventeen co-examiners and two chief examiners had to read thousands of papers, and their energy and endurance were naturally extremely limited.
Among them, those with sloppy handwriting were almost ignored without a word, while those with neat handwriting and smooth speech were always looked at a few more times. Even so, I read a lot of recommendations sent by the examiners from the 17th room throughout the morning.
After lunch, Yang Tinghe simply stood in the yard squinting in the sun, still thinking about a few papers.
It can be said that the ranking of the joint examination is completely in the hands of the two examiners. Although the seal has not been opened yet and he does not know who is who, he is still quite satisfied with the level of this imperial examination. At this moment
He couldn't help but smile as he thought about a few sentences that he had been admiring while watching the scene, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slave dodging there.
"What's up?"
Seeing Yang Tinghe frowning, the Zaoli hurriedly stepped forward, crossed his hands and saluted, saying: "Replying to your lord, it's nothing. It's just that there are many candidates for the imperial examination, so there are many people waiting outside the Gongyuan to inquire about the news. There are many people talking, and there is constant noise. Xiao
I was afraid of disturbing the adults, so I came over to take a look."
Yang Tinghe only got top three in the palace examination back then, but now he is a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. This is the first time he has served as the examiner of the imperial examination. Needless to say, the general is very ambitious. Hearing this, he listened attentively.
, as expected, I heard the constant noise outside, and I was a little unhappy for a moment: "Although it is like this every year, the noise has passed. Didn't Shuntian Mansion send officers to maintain it? Why are you neglecting your responsibilities like this!"
The Zaoli didn't want to make things difficult for others, but the noise outside was too much. He came from the Hanlin Academy with Yang Tinghe to work. He knew this gentleman's temperament well, so he had to bite the bullet at this time.
Ru Ru said: "Sir, this servant of Shuntian Mansion is gambling with others..."
"What! How dare they be so bold!"
Seeing that Yang Tinghe suddenly changed his color, the Zaoli hurriedly explained: "Sir, it's not gambling like dice, it's just that the various idlers who were waiting outside to inquire about the news these two days were a little bored, so they opened the door.
Betting on whether you will pass or fail the exam, as well as your ranking, etc., is just a little trick to relieve boredom by betting a penny. But as soon as the betting market was opened, more and more people were betting and talking about it, and it became noisy as time went by.
Got up, and even the officers from Shuntian Mansion joined in. But although it was noisy, the order was still good..."
"You don't have to say anything!"
Yang Tinghe naturally trusted this Zaoli who had been with him since he entered the Hanlin Academy. At this time, he knew that although this was true, there must be some untruths. He did not dare to underestimate this little
He pondered about the gambling scene for a while and then said: "Well, change your clothes and go outside to listen to what these people's gambling scene is about and what they said.
"But the Gongyuan is surrounded by guards in royal robes from Beizhen Fusi..."
"Ye Guang has always been fair, and the captains under him should not know the rules. Go meet their leader, tell them about the gambling game, and then tell them that it is my mission and ask them to come up with something appropriate."
Someone will go with you!"
As Yang Tinghe expected, since there was no big case, Ye Guang actually ordered Li Yifeng to come and guard the Gongyuan in person this time. When he heard what Zaoli said about the gambling drama outside, Li Yifeng sent a general to follow Zaoli without saying a word.
Let's go out together to investigate.
The two people changed their clothes and went around in a big circle from the west side of Suimofang Alley. When they were about to reach the intersection of Gongyuan Street, they saw at least 180 people gathered in a tea stall. There was a hanging hanging at the door.
There was a big list. The two of them looked at each other and squeezed into the crowd, only to see that the person with the top name was obviously burnt.
One of them was hanging out in the courtyard, and the other was in the royal guard. How could they not know who the sacred person was in this scorched yellow place? Immediately, with a smile on his face, the Zaoli stopped the person next to him and asked: "Brother, can you give me a lesson?"
I, what’s going on with this list betting?”
"What's going on? Didn't you see it yourself? The one at the top is the most popular person in the Jinke Examination, and the ones at the bottom are the people everyone is optimistic about. The wait is in vain, so I don't know who wants it after going back and forth.
I came up with this way to amuse myself."
"Then who is this Jiao Huangfeng?"
"You haven't seen it, haven't you? This Jiao Huangzhong is the eldest son of Jiao Shilang, the current official, and the most popular person in this department!"
Hearing this, the accompanying Commander-in-Chief Jin Yiwei couldn't help but frowned, and snorted disapprovingly: "If the children of officials were popular, there would be so many nephews of old men in the court who would not always fail. How can there be such a ranking!"
"Tsk tsk, you don't understand, don't you? If Jiao Huangzhong is just Jiao Shilang's son, and everyone comes to inquire about the news for their own master or family members, how can everyone be optimistic about him? Mr. Jiao Jinke
Before taking the examination, I had received a new book from the emperor. Let alone the son of a minister, he was a real minister. How many people are there? The emperor would give someone a new book for no reason. It is obviously impossible! It is obviously Jinke.
I am going to select Mr. Jiao. Even if his ranking in the general examination is not high, the top ten papers in the palace examination will be judged by the Holy Examination as a rule. It will not be easy to select the number one scholar by then?"
This man was Lu Mang. His voice was so loud that everyone around him heard it. There were people who had known about this incident before, and there were also people who didn't know about it and asked questions. The scene was noisier than it was at the beginning.
Three points. More coins were thrown into the basket one by one, shouting that they would be the ones to escort Mr. Jiao. Seeing this scene, the Zaoli had no intention of asking any more questions. On the contrary, the Jinyi Wei Commander was very interested.
He then asked the three or two people at the bottom of the list. He heard that all of them were famous talents from various places, etc., so he threw a penny in as if he was gambling on luck, and only then did he squeeze in after getting the piece of paper.
They walked out of the crowd. The two of them naturally didn't notice that as they left, the eloquent Lu Mang just now loudly explained the list to the new people who had squeezed in.
Two quarters of an hour later, they circled back to the Gongyuan. Li Yifeng sent the Zaoli into the Gongyuan, and after listening to the report from the commander-in-chief, he couldn't help but frowned thoughtfully, and then
It reminds me of the major imperial examination case in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. At that time, the emperor was furious and ordered Cheng Minzheng and others to be imprisoned. Ye Guang took him for interrogation, and he knew the inside story best. Although everyone now knows that Cheng Minzheng was wronged
Yes, Tang Yin and Xu Jing were even more unjustly accused, but so what? If you accidentally got involved in the struggle between the big guys, it would be good if you could escape with your life.
And today's incident, no matter how you look at it, there is a conspiracy! But no matter what, this Mr. Jiao is definitely going to be unlucky!
"Li Qianhu, are you going to send people to disperse those people?"
"Dispersed? It's just a small gambling show now. After dispersing, the rumors will become more widespread. The boss hasn't given orders yet, so why should I prepare for a rainy day?" Li Yifeng chuckled, and then said casually, "Let's take a look at the two of us.
Is there any action from the examiner? If not, then report it to Master Ye to make a decision. But let me tell you, Master Ye probably thinks that if it rains and the mother wants to get married, let him go! As long as the examiner is fair, the rumors will not come true.
break."
Just as Li Yifeng expected, when Yang Tinghe heard that Zaoli reported the inside story of the gambling show outside, his frowned brows knitted together. Cheng Minzheng had learned from the past, but at that time, Tang Yin and Xu Jing were only from a family background.
A talent that was not obvious, but now he is the son of Jiao Fang, a minister of the Ministry of official affairs. If this really causes trouble, the examiner will be the first to bear the brunt.
As a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Yang Tinghe is a serious official in the East Palace. He naturally knows a lot about these big and small things in the court, especially the grievances between Jiao Fang and some big shots.
However, he coldly ordered the Zaoli not to say anything more about this matter, so he returned to the room without saying anything. When he saw a few more recommendation papers piled up on the table, he calmed down and began to carefully evaluate them one by one.
, it was not until that night that I went to find Zhang Yuanzhen.
Jinshi have always been selected to enter the Hanlin Academy. In addition to thinking about the glory of being ranked in the cabinet and ministries, most people's life-long goal is to be able to preside over one term of examination and serve as a seat teacher. In the future, their students will flourish and prosper, and they must take care of their own.
Descendants. Zhang Yuanzhen was very old and in poor health. He struggled to survive the nine-day examination and it was already too much for him. Yang Tinghe almost presided over the readings for these two days. However, when he was trembling, he heard Yang Tinghe say
When something happened outside, I was suddenly startled.
"Shi Zhai, what do you think should be done?"
"Mr. Zhang, fortunately, I asked Jin Yiwei to send people to accompany me before. This matter will never reach the level of the imperial examination scandal. But now that things have come to a point, there is only one way to calm things down, and that is to suffer aggrievement."
Seeing that Zhang Yuanzhen remained silent but did not raise any objection, Yang Tinghe emphasized his tone and said: "As for the other people on the betting list, if they are really recommended, their rankings can be lowered. Only those who are burnt must be deposed."
Fall! It should be noted that Jiao Fang has offended more than twice as many people as Cheng Minzheng did back then. We have no friendship with him, so there is no need to sacrifice anything for him.
