In the palace Chinese hall, about the palace test, the ups and downs of the drama finally came to an end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The princes of the temple are definitely very knowledgeable, and they are all influential figures in the political arena for decades, but they have never seen such a tortuous and bizarre imperial reading volume.

If it weren't for the royal front, he would have turned his head and sighed.

In the past, Xie Xuan used Yang to plot, and then He Shuo reversed on the grounds of appearance, and then the Son of Heaven revealed that he did not need to be a minister, and then Wei Hong lobbied with Tanhua. Sacred Heart.

It's really a mountain that is higher than a mountain. It's a textbook alternative to the court.

…

…

Waiting for the scholars at the left gate of Chang'an outside the palace, Jia Huan and others were still chatting and laughing, waiting for news. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, in the left gate of Chang'an, a team of brocade-clothed guards came out surrounded by a few petty officials in the imperial house. The gold list is coming.

Of course, this is not an official gold list right now. The official gold list will not be announced to the world until the Golden Palace is passed on. Today, I just told the candidates the rankings in advance, so that the candidates could know in their hearts and prepare for the Golden Palace. For example, the champion should represent the current science scholar on the thanksgiving.

The scholars all gathered around, and the petty officials of the system room headed by him held the post in his hand and read aloud: "First place in the first class, Weng Zongdao, Houguan County, Fujian..."

"Ahh

There was an uproar among the soldiers who were waiting for the news. The first place, it is not Jia Huan? It's Weng Zongdao who is in second place!

In fact, it is not uncommon for Huiyuan to not be the champion. But what have been the rumors in the capital from yesterday to today? Almost everyone thought that Jia Huan was the champion, which was too unexpected. Can't even recommend the first one?

Zhou Shenxing, who was close to Jia Huan, quietly moved two steps away.

The petty official of the imperial house continued to read: "The second place in the first class, Zhou Shenxing, Yixing County, Nanzhili. The third place in the first class, Jia Huan, Wanping County, Beizhili. After Yijia finished reading, he paused. At this time, the scholars next to him had already exchanged their heads:

Jia Huan is a tanhua.

The petty official of the imperial house looked around, and then continued to read: "The first place in the second class, Tang Daobin, Huating County, Nanzhili." The second place in the second grade..."After the second rank was read, the junior official finished reading the top three rank in one go. Then, he left.

The outside of the left gate of Chang'an was boiling in an instant, and it became as noisy as a vegetable market. You must know that it is not only the 300 Jinshi who watched the list on the spot, but also the people who each brought their slaves and long-term followers, as well as those who knew about today's palace trial list and came to watch the excitement.

After the results of the temple examination are out, the results of the ritual examination are in the past tense. Jia Huan is a tanhua, and a large number of scholars are still gathered around him. The crowd and circles that were a little loose just now gathered around again. Such a young Tanhua is also promising!

Zhou Shenxing, who had just moved a few steps away, took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "Brother Jia, congratulations." Congratulations. ”

Regarding some subtle changes around him, Jia Huan was indifferent, smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Brother Zhou as well." ”

Luo Xiangyang, who was standing beside Jia Huan, saw Zhou Shenxing's performance in his eyes, and lowered his evaluation of him by a few notches in his heart. This person is not a friend!

At this time, on the side where the Fujian scholars gathered, a friend next to Weng Zongdao mocked loudly: "Before the results of the palace examination were out, someone regarded himself as the champion, but what is happening now?" In the next question, are you ashamed or not? ”

A few people around Weng Zongdao were very dissatisfied with Jia Huan suppressing the limelight of their friends, and now was not a good opportunity to fight back?

Gongsun Liang was dressed in white, handsome, and sneered: "I don't know how many places Your Excellency is in the first class?" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd. The scholars on both sides of Jia Huan and Weng Zongdao spoke separately and quarreled.

Don't look at Jia Huan only got Tanhua, but many well-informed people know that Jia Huan has to make meritorious contributions after entering the office, and the official is added to the first level, that is to say, like the champion, it is the Hanlin revision of the six grades. It is also necessary to calculate Jia Huan's age factor. In addition to fame, it really can't be said that Jia Huan's Tanhua is much worse than the champion.

A tanhua who is less than 13 years old, a champion who is 26 years old, the same starting point, how is their respective development? The scholars present had their own opinions.

Again, the noise is so intense. There is also a geographical factor. Fujian's scholars took the lead in mocking Jia Huan, the banner man in the Beizhili Yimao Branch, how could the scholars of Beizhili endure it, of course, they spoke out to defend Jia Huan.

When the two sides were arguing, Zhao Xingchen couldn't help but interject and said sarcastically: "I see that the suspicion of fraud on Jia Tanhua has not been washed away!" So I lost the champion. Zhao Xingchen, who ranked the third hundredth, was in a bad mood for the past two days, so he seemed silent in the team. At this time, seeing that the enemy Jia Huan was being attacked, he couldn't help but stand up and mock.

Zhu Hongfei, who has been speaking and running for Jia Huan for the past two days, jumped out angrily, raised his arms and shouted: "Those who are clear will clear themselves." Brother Jia is extremely talented and has the ability to manage things, and his advice must be wonderful. But how did he go from first to third? I don't know if the rumors of fraud were released by those villains? Those who benefit today may not be without a part. ”

"Wow!" The soldiers present were all coaxing. What a meaning is this!

There are even some people who are inclined to Jia Huan because of this sentence. Indeed, Jia Huan's volume may be the first, but it was changed to the third for some reason.

"Hmph..."Weng Zongdao's face immediately darkened. Because Zhu Hongfei's words were not stingy, he was scolding him for being a villain. No matter how good his temper is, he can't bear it. When he looked at Jia Huan again, his eyes were a little light. Everyone knows that Zhu Hongfei and Jia Huan are good friends.

What can Jia Huan say? In this situation, of course, he can't say that Zhu Hongfei, who helped him speak, is not. There is no such reason, and it is not true to say that you are your own people. Originally, the quarrel was also provoked by Fujian scholars. I'm afraid that his friendship with Weng Zongdao will end here.

The results of the palace examination have come out, and the quarrel among the scholars is just an addiction. When they were arguing, it was another team of brocade guards who came out surrounded by a Ministry of Rites official. Zhu Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites walked out of the city gate quickly and said loudly: "Who is Zhao Xingchen of Beizhili." ”

"It's me." Some white and fat Zhao Xingchen answered loudly in the crowd, I don't know why.

Zhu Langzhong waved his hand, "Take it!" The wolf-like Jinyi guard immediately stepped forward and detained Zhao Xingchen, who looked confused. The noisy and lively Jinke scholars here at the left gate of Chang'an all stopped in astonishment. What's going on?

Zhu Langzhong unfolded the post in his hand and read: "Zhao Xingchen, a native of Wanping County, Beizhili, is suspected of cheating in the examination, and the Son of Heaven ordered him to be interrogated in prison. The Ministry of Rites will take the 301st stone to make up. ”

Zhu Langzhong took the brocade guard and detained Zhao Xingchen and walked towards the Ministry of Rites. Zhao Xingchen was still shouting, "I didn't cheat, I didn't cheat." It's Jia Huan who cheats, it's him. There must be a mistake. ”

The grievances between Jia Huan and Zhao Xingchen have been clearly explained in the rumors in the capital in the past two days. Immediately, someone laughed and said: "Before Friend Zhao was imprisoned, he didn't forget to spread rumors!" ”

The men laughed and dispersed.

Quarrels are quarrels, but except for Jia Huan and Weng Zongdao's close friends, few people will take on the role of the parties, and now that the results of the palace examination have come out, they are their own people. Tomorrow is the rituals that follow.

The temple exam is over!

…

…

At the end of March, it was already early summer. There is some heat in the capital, and the sun is blazing in the afternoon, and pedestrians take shelter from the light.

Jia Huan and Gongsun Liang took a carriage to the inn where Shangguan Chang and Shi Fu lived. Zhao Xingchen was taken down, and Shi Fu became the most direct beneficiary. On the evening of the twenty-second day, Jia Huan came out of the Metropolitan Courtyard, and Shi Fu also came to greet him.

Shi Fu was arrogant, but he had helped. With such good news, Jia Huan wanted to rejoice for him. This is the principle of being a human being.

Luo Junzi was in a bad mood because of his poor results in the palace examination, and returned to the February Inn in the east of the city with several scholars.

In the gorgeous carriage that came from Jiafuli, there were ice cubes, and the temperature was cool. The carriage walked slowly. The palace test is over.

I don't know what kind of attitude the imperial court has towards the fraud case. It is also unclear why Jia Huan became Tanhua. However, in the afternoon, news of the fraud case came out.

After the Son of Heaven discussed with Zai Fu and the important ministers in the Wenhua Palace, he announced the punishment results of the fraud case in the Yimao Imperial Examination: Jia Huan and Fang Wang were not guilty. Censorship of Zhao Xingchen, the son of the Marquis of Ruyang.

Jinyiwei's investigation found that Zhao Xingchen was indeed still drinking flower wine, fighting dogs, horse racing, and gambling money before the start of the examination, and he was able to win the 300th place, which was quite strange.

Of course, the real reason came out with Concubine Jia's words in the future, and the ministers understood: Marquis Ruyang wanted to use the Son of Heaven (Monkey), so he offended the Son of Heaven.

…

…

Shi Fu, who got the news in the inn, was ecstatic and laughed. Originally, he was going to pull Jia Huan, Gongsun Liang and others to drink, but after being reminded by Jia Huan, he hurried to the Ministry of Rites and first implemented the qualifications of Jinshi. Tomorrow I will go to the Jinluan Hall to meet the Son of Heaven.

In the evening, Jia Huan returned to Jiafu from the February Inn. Wei Yang had been waiting for a while to bring the details of the reading scrolls in the Wenhua Palace. Of course, Wei Shangshu can't do good things: he brushes off his clothes and hides his name deeply.

Listening to Wei Yang's explanation of the situation of the imperial reading, Jia Huan groaned. He owes Wei Hong a big favor! Today's situation is indeed dangerous.

Seeing Jia Huan pondering, Wei Yang said with relief: "Ziyu, even if you lose the champion, you will also have a bright future if you enter the Hanlin Academy as a Tanhua." Fix the book, just fix the book. You're still young, and it's not a bad thing to be dormant and silent for a few years. ”

According to his grandfather, as long as the Son of Heaven reigns today, Jia Huan has to keep a low profile. However, Jia Huan's age will definitely be able to survive today.

Jia Huan came back to his senses, smiled indifferently, and said, "Yuan Hao, I'm not worried about this." ”

He is not much worse than the champion. Of course, the champion is the best in the world, and everyone is looking forward to it. He missed the champion, and said without hypocrisy, how could he not have a little regret? However, Scholar Xie recommended him as the first, but he didn't have a good heart. It's about to kill him.

First of all, he is protected from being attacked in public opinion. No one would think that he was not worthy of his name, right? Think his reputation is tainted, right? And becoming a champion is not necessarily.

Of course, there is also a disadvantage: he started in officialdom and lost one level. Otherwise, if you enter the office with the positive six-grade words, you will really be regarded as a rocket cadre, ready to go to heaven.

As for the arrangement for Emperor Yongzhi to repair the book. He really didn't take it seriously.

Life is always full of all kinds of accidents, called: old drivers encounter new problems. The plans he often gave himself could not keep up with the changes. The Son of Heaven has a good idea, but will he be so honest? We must look at the problem from the perspective of development and change!

Again, he corrected the fate of Jiafu, in fact, he didn't need much power of his own, which was impossible. His age, no matter how high his starting point is, where can he rise in the next year or two?

So, from the beginning, his plan was not achieved by his own power, but by his own influence.

Cichen is not the prime minister in the country, but he is still qualified to be a reserve candidate for senior cadres. He wants to dominate the inside and outside of Jiafu, and influence the decisions of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Zheng, and it is enough for him to cultivate the identity of Hanlin from the sixth grade!

Wei Yang was a little stunned by Jia Huan's answer.

Jia Huan laughed, didn't explain, stayed in Weiyang to eat, and went to invite Mr. Luo, Zhang Sishui, Liu Yichen, and Liu Guoshan together. He can't say, "I'm thinking about how to repay your grandfather's favor." In officialdom, personal debts are the most difficult to repay.
