Chapter 0125: Feast
When Yang Yansi arrived at Jin Mingchi, Su Yijian and his party were already waiting for him in front of Jin Mingchi.
Jinming Pond, also known as the Annex, is a royal garden with a huge scale, complete layout and beautiful scenery.
It was built in the Zhou period after the fifth dynasty, and it went through many constructions before it reached the scale in front of it.
The circumference of Jinming Pond is nine miles and thirty steps, the shape of the pond is square, there are walls all around, there are many doors, the northwest corner is the water inlet, outside the back door of the north of the pool, that is, the water gate of the west of the Bianhe River.
The south gate is the Lingxing Gate, the south is opposite to the Baojin Building of Qionglin Garden, and the color building in the door is confronted.
Inside its gate, from the south bank to the center of the pond, there is a huge arch bridge, called the fairy bridge, which is hundreds of steps long and has a wide deck.
The bridge has three arches, a vermilion lacquer railing shield, a lower row of goose pillars, and a 'camel rainbow' raised in the middle.
In the heart of the water, there are five halls, which are the places where the emperor will hold a banquet tonight.
During the reign of Taizu, and even before the Song Dynasty, after the students of the scientific examination were admitted to the Jinshi, there was no such thing as a banquet.
The system of giving banquets was also something that Zhao Guangyi came up with on a whim in order to win people's hearts in the second year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom.
As soon as Yang Yansi jumped off the horse, he heard Su Yijian's laughter.
"Hey, isn't this a new science detective? Look at this look, it's so handsome, if I have a girl at home, I will definitely allow it to you. ”
Yang Yansi shook his head and smiled, "Brother Su, you are the champion of the new department, and my Tanhua is not worth mentioning in front of you." ”
"Don't ...... You're so much more beautiful than I am. ”
Su Yijian turned around and pointed to the others behind him, "I don't believe you ask them......"
Some people who had a little bit of friendship with Su Yijian echoed it one after another.
Behind Su Yijian, Chao Yuan stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "I do have a girl at home, who just turned fourteen ...... this year."
"Poof......
Yang Yansi almost spurted out a mouthful of reverse blood.
Of course, while ridiculing Yang Yansi, there are also those who say cool things and make sarcastic remarks.
For these people, Yang Yansi is too lazy to take care of them.
If someone is stinging at you, are you also stinging?
It's not a dog!
Everyone has arrived, so naturally there is no reason to continue waiting.
Su Yijian took the lead, and under the leadership of the eunuch, everyone entered the Jinming Pool, crossed the fairy bridge, and arrived in front of the five halls in Shuixin.
Zhao Guangyi sat in the middle hall, and Wang Jien waited on the side.
At the bottom sat Zhao Pu and other important ministers of the imperial court.
"See Your Majesty!"
A group of jinshi saluted Zhao Guangyi.
"Excuse me! All of you sit down. ”
Under the leadership of the eunuchs, all the jinshi entered the hall according to their rank and sat down separately.
In front of the seat, there is a table with delicacies and a pot of wine.
Everyone sat down, and Zhao Guangyi smiled: "Feast!" ”
Wang Jien stroked his palms, and two rows of dancing girls came out from the southeast and southwest corners of the main hall.
The musician caresses the music, and the dancer dances.
A banquet was officially held.
Zhao Guangyi didn't have any reprimands, so he drank and had fun with Zhao Pu and other old ministers.
The Jinshi were still a little restrained at first, but when they saw Su Yijian, who was sitting in front of the emperor, grabbed the wine jug and drank it heartily, so everyone let go.
Everyone eats, drinks, and flatters each other.
Drinking orders, playing with pitchers, and having fun.
If you take a closer look, you will find that Zhao Guangyi and the old ministers seem to be talking to each other, but their eyes have never left the students.
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Su Yijian, who had finished drinking a pot of wine, and grabbed the eunuch beside him who wanted wine, and said with a smile to Zhao Pu beside him.
"The champion of the current branch is actually a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol."
Zhao Pu smiled and took a sip of wine, "It's true that he is a drunkard, but this son is unrestrained, open-minded, frank, and has a true temperament." Able to take on big responsibilities. ”
"Where's the list?"
This time it was Shen Lun who answered, "From sitting down to the present, I haven't said a word, I drink alone, and I don't talk to anyone." Lonely and proud, he will definitely make great achievements in the future. ”
……
This seems to be a banquet, but in fact, it is the emperor and the important ministers of the court, observing an interview with the jinshi up close.
They will give different evaluations based on the performance of the jinshi, and finally determine whether a person can take on the great responsibility.
After three days, the officials will be elected, and they will arrange reasonable positions for the jinshi according to their performance today.
The bigwigs are figuring out the jinshi.
Yang Yansi was thinking about Kou Zhun who was sitting not far from him.
If you take a look at Kou Zhun, you will find that this kid is quite honest, but if you look closely. You'll notice the kid's eyes that are spinning around.
Others may be deceived by Kou Zhun.
But Yang Yansi won't, he knows the evaluation of this guy in the history books, and he also knows what this guy has done in the future.
This is not an honest man at all.
Instead, it wilts and wilts......
Yang Yansi carried the imperial wine, bypassed Feng Zheng and the others, and came to Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun saw Yang Yansi, his eyes rolled slightly, and he arched his hand and said, "Tanhualang......"
Yang Yansi pulled a chair and sat next to Kou Zhun, stopped Kou Zhun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained, don't be so polite, everyone is out of the same department, it's all fate, just call me Yanhe." ”
Kou Zhun couldn't tell Yang Yansi to find his purpose, and said tentatively: "It's ungraceful to call him by his name, you are younger than me, I still call you a virtuous brother...... The virtuous brother suddenly found the quasi, what's the matter? ”
Yang Yansi smiled happily, "It's not a big deal, I just want to give you a creation and wealth." ”
Kou Zhun was very shrewd and stared at Yang Yansi vigilantly.
"What creation, what wealth?"
Yang Yansi dragged Kou Zhun and said with a smile: "When I go out tonight, I will drag you and let you be the groom for one night and enter the cave room for one night." What do you think? Am I good to you? ”
When Kou Zhun heard this, he had a bitter expression on his face, "Brother Xian, Zhun has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me?" ”
Yang Yansi smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"To tell you the truth, I just fell in love with you. I'm going to let you follow me in the future. I'm afraid that you won't agree, so I can only make this decision. ”
Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, glanced around in a panic, and whispered in Yang Yansi's ear.
"As long as the virtuous brother doesn't do anything about Cao Cao and Wang Mang, I will promise you. Just don't take me with you when you go out tonight. ”
Yang Yansi was stunned for a moment, and Kou Zhun's answer was almost the same as Su Yijian's answer.
It seems that the people and officials of the Song Dynasty still have a high degree of trust and recognition of the imperial court.
They all seem to feel that under the rule of the Zhao family, life is not bad, and there is no point in rebelling or blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
It's just that the more Yang Yansi thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong......
What's the situation, why do these two seem to think that I will learn from Cao Cao and Wang Mang?
Why do they think this way they shouldn't?
Am I born with a strong head and destined for a great career?
