Chapter 188: The First Rank and the Top Three

"That's right! Meng Baoying of the Meng family is the concubine of King Jing, how could my mother go to protect the media! The four aunts were all reprimanded by the fourth uncle, and they were still howling at home! Mo Zilan said with palpitations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jun Feifei picked up a piece, Xie Yixin tasted the crab roe cake made by himself, it became more and more delicious, and asked with a satisfied smile: "I heard that the princess knows that you like Zeng Ruoyan, what?" Didn't ask the family to fix you? ”

"My father wanted to beat me, but my mother didn't say anything, although the Marquis of Pingyang is inclined to King Jing, but it is not an ironclad King Jingwang party. He is more loyal to the saint, my mother may be afraid that if I miss Ruoyan, I will be single for a lifetime, so I will be half-pushed, and I acquiesce! Now, it's up to Pingyang Hou! ”

Mo Zilan was very proud, after all, the princess and the old lady agreed, and the horse father couldn't help it!

"Then congratulations to Zilan! Invite me to drink when the time comes! Jun Feifei was also happy for him and congratulated him.

Xie Yixin was also very happy: "Sister Yan will be very happy to know!" Wait for Sister Yan to come over, you tell her! ”

Although Mo Zilan smiled happily, she was still a little worried in her heart, his family didn't care, it didn't mean that Pingyang Hou Zeng's family was also willing, this marriage was not so simple, and he might have to go out and ask his grandfather to fulfill it.

Jun Feifei actually knew that this matter was not so simple, just looking at Xie Yixin's excited appearance, he didn't want to splash her cold water. The three of them sat together, laughing and laughing, but they didn't come over until the end of the Shen Dynasty.

On the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Holy One is high on the dragon chair, and on both sides of the main hall under the steps, there are six Shangshu and prime ministers and scholars. The top five in this spring meeting exam stood in the middle of the hall in a neat row.

A eunuch holding a dust-whisk shouted loudly: "Everyone in the palace, report your name!" ”

"Jiangnan student Wang Yan, see the saint!"

"Haining Chen for the rest of his life, see the saint!"

"Student Yang Zhaowu, see the Holy Lord!"

"Jiangnan student Zhu Yiwei sees the saint!"

"Student Meng Zikang, see the Holy Lord!"

Shengshang said with a smile: "You are all the best of this class of students, the future pillars of the Dasheng Dynasty, I am happy for you!" Nominated for the gold list, famous all over the world! ”

"Long live the saints, long live, long live!" The five of them said in unison.

Shengshang waved his hand, "Prime Minister Shao, let them go to the desk, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and tell them the topic I have unified!" ”

The guards put the Nanmu book case in front of everyone, the palace maids set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and silently polished the ink, Yang Zhaowu and they each stood in their own positions, holding their breath and waiting for the holy question.

"On June 15 Halloween, the whole country celebrates with all the nations to congratulate, what do you think, write it down for a quarter of an hour. Then from the Holy Question, can you speak freely, can you hear clearly? Prime Minister Shao Cheng came out and said loudly.

"Clear!" The five replied in unison.

"Timer starts!"

The five of them began to write hard, and soon when the time came, Prime Minister Shao Cheng said loudly: "Stop!" ”

Among the five, except for Zhu Yiwei, a genius in Jiangnan, all of them have finished writing. The eunuch put away the imperial paper and respectfully handed it to the saint.

The saint looked at it carefully, and after reading one, he passed it on, handed it over to the secretaries for appreciation, and when the five impromptu strategies were all circulated, the saints took back the strategies and began to ask questions.

"Wang Yan, you praise me for being diligent, wise and martial, and admired by all the people, so what do you mean by subjugating all the nations with the bearing of a great power?" The saint looked at Wang Yan's hand of the European body, the law is strict, the movement and stillness, and it has been copied to the bone.

Wang Yan, twenty-five or six, with an elegant appearance, a goatee, and a family from the south of the Yangtze River, replied: "Back to the saints, I am a prosperous country, rich and strong, strong soldiers and horses, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all relying on the holy wisdom." On Halloween, students think that the world should be amnesty, exempt from taxes by vassal countries, and let the barbarian country send students to study in Dasheng, and we can provide the academy for free, so that they can learn benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, so as to demonstrate the benevolence of the saints and the bearing of Dasheng! ”

The saint did not comment, only smiled slightly, and continued to ask the next Chen Yusheng: "Chen Yusheng, do you think that the people of Dasheng are in peace and Wufu, the time and the year are abundant, and the Khitan was affected by the disaster last year, and we, as allies, should be friendly and neighborly and help?" ”

Chen Yusheng, who is in his early twenties, is a descendant of Haining's scholarly family, and he raised his head and said impassionedly: "On Halloween, all allies and affiliated vassal states will come to congratulate, Dasheng rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and should reward all envoys, help allies, and promote the prestige of our country, so that all countries will be impressed by Dasheng's bearing and mind!" ”

Shengshang's eyes darkened slightly, nodded slightly, and asked again: "Yang Zhaowu, you said that Halloween should be celebrated, let the vassal states and allies send important ministers and princes to congratulate, I understand." But what is the purpose of opening the country widely, so that countries that are willing to come, as long as they report to the imperial court, the proposed number of people can come to congratulate? ”

Yang Zhaowu stood up and said loudly: "The Holy Lord is wise, the Dasheng Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and there has been no major war for more than ten years. However, in times of peace, we can take advantage of Halloween to invite the vassal states to Beijing to see the power of the great splendour, and those who are ready to move will destroy their ambitions. You can also take this opportunity to observe whether there are any changes in the royal families of the affiliated feudal states. As for the allies, they were to be given both grace and power in case the aliens turned their backs on the alliance. There are other countries that are willing to come, and we welcome them all in Dasheng, which not only shows our Dasheng mind, but also allows us to understand each other and promote our prestige. ”

The saint's eyes flashed, he smiled invisibly, waved his hand, and continued to ask Zhu Yiwei seriously: "Zhu Yiwei, do you think that although Dasheng is strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is reasonable to be thrifty and continue to cultivate and recuperate, what is the reason?" ”

Zhu Yiwei is nearly 30 years old, probably because of his low background, he is a little hunchbacked, but his handwriting is square and round, rigorous and neat.

He replied solemnly: "Although the Dasheng Dynasty is also considered to be in good weather, there are floods and droughts in various places from time to time. ”

The saint nodded slightly and looked at Meng Zikang, the youngest student in the hall: "Then Meng Zikang, what you said about Halloween should be celebrated, but what is the meaning of outer softness and inner rigidity?" "The saint greatly appreciated Meng Zikang's willow body, the strokes were fine, the edges and corners were chic, thin and grandiose.

Although Meng Zikang is young, he is not cowardly, and said generously: "Holy benevolence, Ze is the world, Halloween is a good time to raise the prestige of our country and show the strength of a great country!" But those who are not of my race will have different hearts! We can't relax our vigilance, Dasheng thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains, there are many coveters, let them see the strength of Dasheng's soldiers and horses, and the people's aspirations, so they dare not give birth to a heart of disobedience! ”

The saint was greatly satisfied, and commended several new scholars on the spot: "I am very satisfied with your opinions, and now according to your court test, Wang Yan is the champion, Yang Zhaowu is the leader, Meng Zikang is the Tanhua, Chen Yusheng is the Chuan, and Zhu Yiwei is the fifth." ”

"Long live the saints, long live, long live!"

"Proposed purpose: Wang Yan entered the Ministry of Rites, Mencius Kang entered the Hanlin Academy, Chen Yusheng entered the Criminal Department, Zhu Yiwei entered the Household Department, Yang Zhaowu served as the commander of the Yamen of the Beijing Governor, and Langzhong of the Military Department!"

"Holy Wisdom! Hooray, hooray, hooray! The important ministers on both sides and Yang Zhaowu and others said in unison.

"The specific official positions will be drawn up by the six ministries, and then the decision will be made by me, you go down first, tonight Qionglin banquet, I will drink with you again!"

"Long live the saints, long live, long live! Wait for the resignation! ”
