Chapter Eighty-Five: The Legend of the Golden Palace Shocks the World (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

But there are also two exceptions, one is that the queen can enter once when she gets married, and the other is that the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua in the palace examination can walk out of this door once.

In other words, among the 400 new scholars wearing the same jinshi scarf clothes today, there will be three people who will leave the palace from the imperial road in the future, enjoy the highest honor in the life of the scholar, and leave their names in the history of their ancestors!

It's a temptation that no one can refuse.

Shi Kefa stood in the center of the team, just like his fellow keeping, wearing a black gauze jinshi scarf on his head, a blue-edged dark blue wide-sleeved robe tied with a cyan leather belt decorated with black horns, and holding a locust wood wat board in his hand.

He didn't talk to each other like the people around him, but he was silent with his eyes and nose and heart, and his heart was as calm as water.

He had heard rumors from the adults around him who were standing on the ground. Someone is the champion and someone is the leader. Someone explores flowers, but they don't have any other names.

At this time, another bell rang on the tower of the city gate. Then a eunuch pulled the throat of the male duck and said with aura: "The auspicious time has arrived." Hundreds of officials led tribute students to meet him!"

And they all shut up. Usually enter the palace, civil and military officials enter through the door on the left. The nobles entered through the door on the right.

The left and right doors are not open, but now the emperor holds a ceremony in the Jinluan Palace.

The big talents entered through the two doors. The eyes of the new recruits were black, and they could only let them go.

Fortunately, after passing through the deep doorway. It's just going on. You don't have to turn in either way. After passing through another palace gate in the interior of the Forbidden City - Fengtian Gate.

I saw a white jade railing and a carved dragon pillar. It is incomparably wide enough to accommodate 10,000 people.

At the end of the square is a splendid palace located on a three-story white marble platform, rising from the ground with a golden wall of 11 zhang high ground, which is the most magnificent building in the Forbidden City. Fengtian Temple!

It is the tallest and largest building in the Forbidden City, and its length-to-width ratio is exactly nine to five, representing the dignity of the Ninety-Five;

Even the beasts on its eaves have one more than other palaces, and they have reached ten, which is the only one in the whole world, otherwise it is not enough to show the supreme dignity!

Therefore, all its designs are for one purpose, that is, to bring the supreme imperial power to the extreme!

The effect was naturally achieved, and the new science and technology scholars who saw it for the first time all burst into tears, and even the officials who had already been in the mood were excited, and their feelings of loyalty and patriotism arose......

At this time, in front of the Fengtian Palace, there were already gold-armored guards holding various symbolic weapons such as golden melons, treasure tops, and flags.

Under the eaves, there is also a court band equipped with a full set of musical instruments such as Huang Zhong Da Lu, which is called the Lu Book Fa Driver, which is an indispensable honor guard, guard team, and military band for ceremonies......

The bustle inside the hall was extraordinary, and the people kneeling outside couldn't hear it, until the music sounded, and Huang Liji, the head of the Ming Dynasty, came out of the hall with a righteous spirit.

Standing in front of all the Jinshi, he unfolded a beautiful yellow book, unfolded his cultivation, and said with aura: "Listen to the announcement. ”

The scholars were all in good spirits, and looked at Huang Ge Lao anxiously, and saw him open the golden book and read aloud: "...... The emperor's grace is vast, he is a scholar for the country, and his background is not asked.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the Bingchen Branch Palace Examination ended, and His Majesty planned to test the world's tributes, and gave the first class Jinshi and the third place, the second class Jinshi was born one hundred and ten, and the third class was born with the same Jinshi two hundred and eighty-seven, as follows......"

At this point, Huang Lijige paused for a moment to enjoy the silent scene, and then broke the suffocating silence and said slowly: "The first place in the palace examination...... Liu Ruozai!"

The Han generals on both sides shouted in relay: "First place, Gongsheng Liu Ruozai meets ......" For a while, the same sentence echoed in front of the entire Fengtian Palace.

Liu Ruozai was stunned there, but he still raised his son behind him and quietly stabbed him, and whispered: "Go up, Brother Liu!"

Only then did he come back to his senses, he got up completely subconsciously, his heart was pounding, his brain was blank, and he was so stupid on the spot.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man in charge of guidance came over in a low voice and said, "Champion Lang, please follow the lower officials into the palace to thank you." ”

Liu Ruozai's head was buzzing, he didn't know what he was doing, he followed the official Jindian like a puppet, and sang with the celebrant in a song as light as a gossamer, and shouted long live from the mountain of three knocks and nine bows, and then was led to the place where the sixth grade of the left class was standing still.

Huang Liji sang again: "First and second place, Shi Kefa!", Shi Kefa and Liu Ruozai's performance is the same.

Then he was pleasantly surprised: 'I actually won, and it's still a top ......'

Shi Kefa carefully looked at this Jinluan Palace, which is known as the largest in the world, but the layout inside is quite simple, with a total of seventy-two large red pillars.

The six pillars surrounding the emperor's throne are pasted with gold, and there is a giant dragon on each pillar, guarding the emperor's throne sitting on the golden pedestal, so that the majesty of Zhu Youzhen, who is high above, can radiate to every corner of the hall.

At this time, the outside sang again: "The third place in the first class, Guan Shaoning." ”

After Tao Dalin thanked him, he also stood at the seventh grade, and Huang Liji shouted: "First place in the second grade,......

"The nineteenth place in the second class, Sun Dewang. ”

"Yang Qi, the thirtieth in the second grade. ”

"The forty-fifth place in the second class, Zhao Fangyun. "Wait for a group of second-class jinshi to enter the hall together to thank you.

Then there are the top three jinshi, after reading Huang Liji is very tired, these fellow jinshi do not need to enter the hall, they can kneel outside the hall to thank them.

Wait for the roll call to be completed. The music started. The 100 officials and the new science and technology jinshi made another 39 bow. In the end, the emperor gave the "big gold list".

It was handed over to the Ministry of Rites to be hung outside the noon gate for three days. The orchestra plays the chapter of harmony and peace. Courtesy. Zhu returned to the palace by inspection.

Wait for Zhu Youzhen to leave. The ministers gathered around to congratulate the candidates.

Zhu Youzhen is still very satisfied with the Sanding Jia this time, so Shi Kefa won't say anything.

Champion Liu Ruozai (1595~1640), the word Yinping, the number of retreat, Huaining County, Anqing Prefecture, South Zhili (now Huaining County, Anhui Province, Pingshan Street) people.

Liu Ruozai was born in a scholarly family, with quick thinking and good exports. He is good at calligraphy and painting, and his regular script, line and cursive script are exquisite.

He often recommended Zhiyong and loyal talents to the imperial court, and the famous general Shi Kefa in the late Ming Dynasty was promoted from the Anchi Dao Supervisor to the governor because of his recommendation. On April 13, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he died of illness due to overwork. After his death, he posthumously presented "Zhan Shi", gave a funeral, and gave a shadow.

Tanhua Guan Shaoning Ming Dynasty poet, calligrapher, national hero.

The word is young, the word is like this, and the number is sincere. A native of Wujin, Jiangsu.

Guan Shaoning was born with a disease, his appearance was very ugly, and his family was extremely poor.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Guan Shaoning took the Chinese test in one fell swoop, and successfully passed the national examination in the second year.

In the palace test countermeasures, the emperor found that Guan Shaoning's countermeasures were missing the word "Ge" on the right side of the word "Cheng", so he took up the pen to make up for it, and the cabinet ministers and examiners suspected that the emperor had a heart, so Guan Shaoning was set as the third in the first class.

In May 1645, the southern capital was broken by the Qing army, and the prefect Zong Hao arrested Guan Shaoning for refusing to shave his hair and surrendered to the Qing.

None of the three sons, wife or daughter-in-law survived. The only grandson, the day before yesterday, he refused to return to the house of his wife, Chen Zhensheng, and survived.

It is said that after Guan Shaoning was arrested, he once said: "The country has died, and the courtiers should have died." While in prison, he drank wine and said generously: "From now on you will die." He committed suicide.
