Dawei Xiangfu five years, the annual autumn examination is over, and the "Xiangfu" year name is really fulfilled, the top three one hundred and eight scholars stand out, the number of people is unprecedented, in previous years, can produce forty or fifty people to enter the scholar is considered the imperial examination year, and this year one hundred and eight people, even the palace scholar Chen Xian, who read the papers, couldn't help but nod his mustaches, and read a few articles are even more amazing, full of praise. In addition to the first champion, eye, and tanhua, there are 33 people in the second class and 72 people in the third class.

His Majesty the Emperor was very happy when he learned of this, and read through the articles of one hundred and eight Jinshi overnight. As the sun rose, His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his finger and pointed to the thick dozen articles spread out on the imperial desk, and said: "The heroes of the world are in my place. ”

On the day of the list, the capital boiled like boiling water, the people on the list danced and were ecstatic, there were snot and crying, and there were also high school students who plunged into the famous Jinshi River in Shangjing, swam from one end to the other, and then swam back. There are also those who fall off the list, sighing, beating their chests, and their feelings of loss and disappointment are overflowing.

The world is full of all kinds of things.

Lin Hanlin of the Lin family is the first champion, Lin Qianyi is the one hundred and eighth, one is the first, and the other is at the bottom.

When the good news came, Lin Hanlin clenched his hands vigorously, with a relieved face, the first thing he thought of was to let Qian Duoduo know, just now he had this idea, Lin Hanlin suddenly felt a chill, and couldn't help but shake his head fiercely - what kind of idea is this, everyone is a man.

Lin Qianyi's face was calm, he exhaled a long breath, turned his head and said silently: "Eldest sister, Yan'er, have you seen it?" ”

The two returned to the inn together, and acquaintances came over to greet each other with a few polite words, and there was a lot of envy between the words. Lin Hanlin first went to Qian Duoduo's room, at this time Qian Duoduo had just woken up, and the white-haired and white-eyebrowed Hu Cong brought water to Qian Duoduo and washed it briefly. After a period of contact, Lin Hanlin knew that the servant was surnamed Hong, but what his name was, Lin Hanlin didn't know, and he was usually called Lao Hong.

Qian Duoduo saw Lin Hanlin enter the room, his face was a little happy, and he asked, "How is it, how is it?" Did you pass the exam? ”

Lin Hanlin nodded and said, "I passed the test, and I won the first place." Lin Hanlin did not say that he was the champion in high school for the sake of modesty, but changed his statement, saying that he was the first in the first class, and it was also to take care of Qian Duoduo, because Lin Hanlin looked at the list three times before and after, and did not see Qian Duoduo's name, for fear that his high school champion would stimulate Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo was a little disappointed, and said regretfully: "Hey, I thought you could get the top prize, but I didn't expect it to be the first place, but don't be sad, the first place in the first class is also good." ”

The corners of Lin Hanlin's mouth twitched, he touched his forehead with his hand, and suddenly felt a feeling of speechless tears out of thin air, Qian Duoduo is too terrifying, what kind of Cheng dù does a person have to be nervous enough to rely on his knowledge to enter Beijing to take the exam.

Qian Duoduo looked at Lin Hanlin's strange expression, and thought that the other party was sad, so he comforted: "Don't be like this, come and sit down and have breakfast together." ”

Lao Hong leaned forward and reminded in a low voice, "Princess...... Young master, the first place in this class is the champion. ”

Qian Duoduo made a big red face, coughed a few times, to cover up his embarrassment, his little face raised slightly, and said confidently: "Ahem, of course I know that the first place in the first class is the champion, the reason why I say this is to remind him, don't get carried away, learn the sea endlessly, take hard work as the boat, no way to book, and take hard work as the path." After saying that, he peeled an egg and stuffed it into his mouth, and his cheeks bulged wide.

Lin Hanlin shook his head and sat down, unceremoniously picked up a fritter, chewed it slowly, and asked, "There is a lot of money, and you don't care if you have high school?" ”

Qian Duoduo seemed to have just remembered that he had also come to the imperial examination, and with a look of sudden realization, he asked, "Do I have a high school, do I have any?" ”

"Nope." Lin Hanlin asked cautiously, observing the changes in Qian Duoduo's expression at all times, if Qian Duoduo cried his nose, Lin Hanlin even thought of comforting words. Yes, Lin Hanlin has always regarded Qian Duoduo's crying as a "crying nose", rather than a man's "crying".

Qian Duoduo gave an understatement of "oh", ate breakfast by himself, and didn't take the failure to heart at all. Lin Hanlin was a little relieved when he saw this scene, and he also had some faint loss that he couldn't understand.

After the list is the palace examination, in previous years, the imperial examination only took the top ten by the emperor's imperial approval, but this year is slightly different, one hundred and eight jinshi are all into the insurance and the palace to take the examination, since the dawn of the early morning, after the roll call, scattered, praise, salute and other etiquette, and then distribute the policy, and then through the reading of the official turn, the ranking. The last one hundred and eight Jinshi listened to the decree outside the Jinluan Palace.

Lin Hanlin stood at the front, without stage fright, looking at the splendid Jinluan Palace, his face was calm, Lin Qianyi stood at the back, his head bowed, as if he was pondering something.

In the Jinluan Palace, the civil officials are headed by the prime minister Pan Chunwei and the university scholar Chen Xian, lined up on the right, dressed in civilian official clothes, and the military attache is headed by Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department and Cao Wei, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, standing on the left side of the Jinluan Palace, the civil officials and military attaches are clearly distinguished, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Today, there is something special above the court, and there are two people standing in front of the civil and military ministers, the second prince Zhao Shuo and the third prince Zhao Gan.

Zhao Shuo listened straight to Wenchen's comments on this year's imperial examination, nodded or shook his head from time to time, and silently wrote down the names of several new imperial examination people, which fell into the eyes of the emperor and made the emperor very pleased.

And our prince Zhao Gan is a little out of position, standing there loosely, the weight of his whole body is pressed back, this kind of standing posture is not tired, but he looks like a village scoundrel, the most annoying thing is that Zhao Qian also plucks his ears from time to time. His Majesty didn't like it, but Zhao Qian didn't see it.

Cao Wei, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, is a big old man, in charge of the security of the capital, he has never been interested in the imperial examination, and today's palace examination, a hundred reluctantly came, pinching his nose and listening to the group of ministers muttering for a long time, but unfortunately, he didn't understand a word.

Zhao Qian took advantage of the gap, turned his head and winked at Cao Wei, and made a gesture of raising a wine glass.

Cao Wei "likes" the prince of Zhao Qian, and thinks that this prince has no shelf, and it is no problem to call him a brother and a brother with his arms, Cao Wei also knows that Zhao Gan befriended himself in order to escape from the palace and go to Shanzhou, hoping that he will leave some gaps in the defense of the capital, and the prince of Zhao Qian escaped from the marriage contract with Chen Nuonuo, and wanted to escape from the palace to go to Lanzhou, which is a secret that has been made public in the palace, and it is also a secret that everyone knows, but cannot say.

There is also a story about the acquaintance of Zhao Qian and Cao Wei, once Cao Wei was drunk and once said openly: "Damn, this group of Wenchen is really noisy, and I fart better than them singing." Later, I don't know how these words were heard by the group of inspectors who had nothing to do and were looking for trouble, and for three days in a row, three chapters a day impeached Cao Wei, not only to remove Cao Wei's official position, but also to cut off Cao Wei's head to set an example.

Cao Wei regretted it, and he couldn't help but slap his mouth in private.

Later, Zhao Gan whispered a word in Cao Wei's ear, Cao Wei saw the saint, scratched his head with one hand, and said quite innocently: "Your Majesty, what does this noise mean, is it food?" ”

A word is self-defeating, Cao Wei doesn't even know what the noise means, how could he say such a thing.

The superintendent of the imperial history scolded Cao Wei as a "traitorous villain, treacherous and cunning".

Cao Wei rolled his eyes to the sky and asked, "What is a traitor?" Can you eat it? Cao Wei turned around, spat on the ground fiercely, and muttered in his heart: "I Cao Wei is a big boss, but he also walked to the position of commander of the Imperial Forest Army step by step, although he doesn't like intrigue, but after so many years of hearing and seeing, he can still see a little bit of "dyeing" in the big dye vat in Shangjing for so many years. You literati are really noisy, and my fart is better than your singing. Especially the last sentence, I didn't dare to speak out.

The struggle in the capital is like this, your casual drunken nonsense can become the fuse for losing your head, and without warning, the wind and rain are fierce.

The moment Cao Wei was distracted, the group of Wenchen finally finished making noise.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and waved his hand, and a little eunuch took a few steps forward and opened his mouth to shout: "Your Majesty has a will, Xuan Zhuangyuan Lin Hanlin, Bangyan Tang Yin, and Tanhua Li ** enter the palace." ”

The little eunuch at the gate of the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Xiaoshao ran to the one hundred and eight Jinshi, and led the three of them into the Jinluan Palace, and the three of them bowed their heads prostrately--see Long live my emperor, long live, long live.

His Majesty the Emperor said softly and majestically: "Flat." ”

Lin Hanlin got up in a chic manner, but Tang Yin and Li ** seemed to be panicked, and the calf and stomach fights made Lin Hanlin even more shocked.

Emperor Majesty couldn't help but nodded, feeling that this year's champion was well deserved, the little eunuch next to him handed Lin Hanlin's article over, Emperor Majesty opened it and read it, and finally praised: "A good article, from filial piety to the pen, write the foundation of the country, especially this theory of rule by inaction, is even more novel." This Lin ...... "Emperor Majesty forgot Lin Hanlin's name, and the little eunuch next to him hurriedly reminded him, and His Majesty the Emperor laughed and continued: "This Lin Hanlin is really a talented person, and his name is also magnificent. ”

Prime Minister Pan Chunwei hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you must not enter the Hanlin Academy to edit and have qualifications and experience, there is no such precedent in ancient times, although Lin Zhuangyuan has great talent, but he is too young, it is absolutely impossible." ”

His Majesty the Emperor said majestically: "I am insistent." ”

Pan Chunwei didn't say anything more and stepped back.

Lin Hanlin knelt down and thanked him.

It seems that a few simple words, a few actions, the knowledge of being an official is in it, the emperor Majesty xià promoted the champion exceptionally, it can be seen that His Majesty xià is eclectic in the use of talents, the prime minister stands up to admonish, it can be seen that His Majesty can listen to the advice, the last sentence "I insist", the prime minister retreats, His Majesty is full of majesty, inviolable - it is difficult to be an official, and it is not difficult.

When His Majesty the Emperor saw that Lin Hanlin was from Lanzhou, he immediately became interested and asked, "People from Lanzhou?" Do you know that there is a strange woman in Lanzhou, whose name is Lin Wan'er? ”

Lin Hanlin lowered his head, but he still couldn't hide the pride in his heart, and replied: "Qi Playing Your Majesty, is my eldest sister?" ”

"Oh?" His majesty felt even more interesting, and said: "Although this Lin Wan'er is a woman, but the poem written is majestic, and I like it very much." It is not easy for the Lin family in Lanzhou to produce a Lin Wan'er, and it is even more rare to produce a champion. "There has always been a knot in the heart of the emperor, when the world was decided, the Xiongnu went south, and the troops in Shangjing were empty, and His Majesty had to sign the Weishui Alliance, and cut the land and pay compensation, which was a shame for the Great Wei.

His Majesty the Emperor hoped that he would be able to sweep away the Xiongnu in one fell swoop and set the world in his lifetime, and couldn't help but recite: "Great Wei is ashamed, and it is still snowing." When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed! Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. ”

After a long time, the emperor came out of that affection and continued to ask, "Who else is in the family?" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, His Majesty was in charge of all opportunities, and it was a solemn occasion to discuss state affairs above the court, and His Majesty actually asked Lin Hanlin about the situation at home, which was really a great favor. Some Wenchen have been with His Majesty for many years, and they have never seen His Majesty ask about the situation at home. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs also understood that His Majesty asked more out of curiosity about Lin Wan'er, and it had little to do with Zhuang Yuanlang.

Lin Hanlin said respectfully: "My parents died early, and everyone has always been in charge of the family, and there are a few brothers, the second brother is in the Northern Army of Xiongnu Town, and the third brother entered the Beijing Imperial Examination, and took the one hundred and eight exams, waiting outside the hall, and the remaining younger brothers are still in Shanzhou, accompanying the eldest sister." ”

Since the release of the list, Lin Hanlin has been in the limelight for a while, and no one seems to know that Zhuang Yuanlang has an elder brother who went to Beijing to take the exam together, and he is also on the list.

His Majesty muttered: "One hundred and eight Xuanjin scholars have entered the hall. ”

When he was young, Lin Qianyi, under the leadership of the little eunuch, entered the Jinluan Palace, made a big salute, and shouted long live.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Lin Qianyi with the rest of his eyes, Lin Qianyi was not as calm as Lin Hanlin, and his heart was nervous.

His Majesty seemed to be very interested in Lin Wan'er, and asked, "What kind of person is your eldest sister?" ”

Lin Qianyi didn't understand what was going on in the Jinluan Palace, so he could only speak: "The eldest sister often says that she is a heroine among women, and she is not allowed to have her eyebrows, and she is the second in the world in terms of martial arts strategy and resourcefulness. Lin Qianyi opened his mouth and said a compliment to the sky.

Great Wei has the self-esteem and pride of the world's largest country, but the national style is respectful and modest.

Lin Hanlin scolded the third brother in his heart for being stupid, how could he be so open-mouthed and not know how to be modest and cautious.

Zhao Gan's face was even more exciting, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and his mouth pursed.

His Majesty the Emperor also frowned slightly.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers whispered, such a big tone, Wen Taowu strategy, resourcefulness and calculation of the second in the world, hum.

A minister came out and scolded: "A woman dares to speak so wildly, dare to ask who is the first, is it Lin Wan'er who claims to be the second, and no one in this world dares to call the first?" ”

Lin Qianyi's tone was steady and said in an orderly manner: "My eldest sister often says that with His Majesty here today, no matter how hard I try, I can only be the second in the world. ”

Thousands of wears, only sycophants don't wear.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, regretting why he didn't think of this method of slapping sycophants, but he was seized by the girl in Shanzhou.

Zhao Gan took the opportunity to fan the flames, took the lead in kneeling, and shouted: "Father Emperor Wen Taowu is the first in the world in terms of wisdom and calculation." ”

The ministers also knelt down one after another and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor is the first in the world in terms of wisdom and strategy. ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled happily and happily, and smiled brightly.

After retiring from the dynasty, Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin walked on the way back to the inn.

Lin Hanlin said with emotion: "Third brother, it's amazing, this sycophant is impenetrable, I really didn't see it before." ”

Lin Qianyi smiled a little old-fashionedly, and explained: "It was all taught to me by the eldest sister when she came out of Lanzhou, saying that I have a stupid mouth, and if I have the opportunity to meet the saint, I must say these words." ”

Lin Hanlin raised his head and laughed, and said, "Eldest sister, this is the second in the world, it is clearly the first in the world." Immediately, a hateful expression appeared on his face: "I didn't expect this Zhao Qian to be the prince, but what can he do if he is a prince, where can he be worthy of the eldest sister." Third brother, when you write back to Lanzhou, you must not tell the eldest sister about this matter. ”

Lin Qianyi nodded, and also felt that Zhao Qian was not worthy of the eldest sister.
