Chapter Seventy-Three
Xia Liansheng thought about what happened after the Red Mansion, the treasury money and silver seemed to be ordered to be recycled when the emperor was in power, and after the change of emperor, the new emperor thought of a rich treasury that was only possible if he lost money, but he also liked to think about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Anyway, the emperor promised him to give him an official of the Ministry of Works, so he didn't have to be afraid, and with a stroke of the pen, he began to work on the draft.
In order to make his words look better, although Xia Liansheng's article manuscript was typed very quickly, he copied it very slowly, and finally handed in the paper in the last submission group, and walked out of the examination room, he still involuntarily wiped the sweat on his head, and several sweat towels were wet by him, some hot and some nervous.
After handing in the papers collectively, the rolling paper was sealed and carried into the Chongwen Palace, and the examiners crossed the papers, and soon the top ten were rated and handed over to the emperor. After the emperor finished reading it, he instructed below: "Pick out Xia Liansheng's scroll and show it to me." ”
The examiners couldn't help wiping their sweat, they wouldn't be careful enough, what was the origin of this Xia Liansheng? can make the emperor so concerned. The little eunuch below quickly presented Xia Liansheng's scroll, and the emperor looked at it slowly for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "This kid is too bad, but the idea is good, I like it very much, so he will put it in Tanhua." ”
In this way, Xia Lian Shengzuo died so much that he had another chance to ride a horse.
After the rankings came out, the emperor's words were also passed on to the ears of their respective masters, and Xia Liansheng's scrolls were also copied several times and handed to the masters with hearts. As a result, at a court meeting, the emperor ordered that everyone should try to return the silver to the treasury, but the etiquette is nothing more than human favors, if you really have no money, you are allowed to take the things at home, but the value should be calculated according to 60% of the market value. Then the court took out Wei Dongting's fold and gave it a reply, as an old minister, the private garden (the emperor's palace) built by Wei Dongting worth one million was worth 600,000 taels of silver, and Wei Dongting handed it over to the imperial court, which should be used to repay the debt. The ministers were caught off guard all of a sudden, and they always thought that the emperor would make concessions for Wei Dongting, who knew that he would use such a bad move, who didn't know that the private garden was originally the emperor's palace!
After this court meeting, everyone suddenly realized that the emperor wanted everyone to repay the money, and this matter came to a real place. The prince and the eighth elder brother found an opportunity, met again, and said something in private, no one knows.
However, Xia Liansheng can't care about what these adults in the court are going to do, he only knows that today he was selected as a tanhua, and the whole person is happy and fluttering, Lin Daiyu is giving the person who announces the good news a big red envelope, while arranging for people to throw money outside, and at the same time arranging people to go out to set off cannons, and it is necessary to put a 'earth red' well. Tuya brushed her favorability with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was very happy to have someone to talk to her, and also arranged for someone to reward Xia Liansheng with a step-by-step embroidered purse.
It wasn't until this day passed that Xia Liansheng realized, wow, after the top three enter the palace tomorrow to thank him, they will ride around the city on horseback! That's a tall horse!
Early the next morning, Xia Liansheng followed Lin Ruhai to get up and wash up and enter the palace.
This may be the only chance for this group of students to enter the palace hall, and it may also be the beginning of all legends.
After the ministers had all stood, the students were taken up to the main hall, and after the students had saluted and stood still. Li Dequan, who was beside the emperor, came out of the emperor's will next year: "...... Tanhua Beijing Xia Liansheng, Bangyan Jiangnan Zhen Yunqi, champion Shandong Kong Xiuxian, gave the champion Kong Xiuxian the post of compiler of the Hanlin Academy, and allowed the Hanlin Academy to walk; Gave the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy, and allowed the Hanlin Academy to walk; Gave the position of a member of the flower industry department, and joined the ...... after the marriage."
At the beginning, the ministers heard that Xia Liansheng had crossed the list of the sixth rank and the seventh rank to get the position of the fifth grade, and they were still wondering about Xia Liansheng's favor, and then heard that he was going to marry the Mongolian princess, so they understood why Xia Liansheng was so favored, and it seems that finding a daughter-in-law with a noble status is also the way to be promoted quickly.
Hearing someone whispering that he relied on his daughter-in-law to eat soft rice, Xia didn't even raise his eyebrows, what does it mean to not be able to eat grapes and say that grapes are sour in his heart, he can completely understand it, haha, I didn't see Kong Xiuxian pinching his fish talisman not too calmly, and I had to see the guy named Zhen Yunqi staring at him for a long time.
But when it came time to ride a horse and tour the streets, it became him who was not too calm, the tall horse was different from those docile little mares, Xia Liansheng stood next to it, it snorted, Xia Liansheng hurriedly handed over the reins to the guard next to him: "Big brother, let's change me to a smaller horse."
The guard looked at him with disdain, and said, "This is the best horse specially selected from the tribute, and you will have to go around the city today." "The implication is that if you change to an ordinary horse who is not frustrated, this tanhua will be disgraced, and the key is to lose face in the whole capital.
Xia Liansheng obviously understood his subtext, but he rode on this horse, if he fell halfway, he would definitely be embarrassed and thrown home, next to Kong Xiuxian turned over neatly, and got on the most handsome tall white horse representing the champion car, holding a chic and handsome handsome, and said to Xia Liansheng with a smile: "Xia Tanhua, you are not a gentleman in the six arts, you should tell the emperor in the palace just now, the emperor likes you so much, he will definitely order you to change to the most docile horse." But if we steal the limelight, don't blame us~" After speaking, he proudly glanced at Zhen Yunqi, who had just stepped on his horse, and laughed after seeing the disdain for Xia Liansheng in each other's eyes.
Zhen Yunqi laughed twice and said, "It seems that Lord Lin is not very interesting to Xia Tanhua, and he doesn't teach this riding and archery skill. But I want to come to Lord Lin so thin and weak, I don't know how to ride a horse, it seems that I don't want to be embarrassed in front of Xia Tanhua. ”
Xia Liansheng looked at their handsome movements on the horse and looked envious, but when he saw the big red flower hanging on the horse's head, he couldn't help but want to be happy, people said that those who rode white horses were not necessarily princes, and it was estimated that they were almost the same. He didn't show an angry face as the two imagined, but said with a smile: "Although the two of you have entered the Hanlin Academy, they have not yet mixed into the position of a waiter or a waiter, so there is no need to exercise your eloquence in such a hurry, although I understand that you also want to fight the Confucianism like the sages and make a name for yourself, but don't be in a hurry, and say that the east and west are short, which makes people feel like a long-tongued woman on the street..."
