The two went out one after another, and then hired a sedan chair to go to the prince's mansion, at this time ordinary people can't afford to sit in a sedan chair, the sedan chair is similar to a modern BMW, which can only be sat by people with status.

Generally speaking, everyone will sit in a sedan chair when they go out, civil officials will sit in a sedan chair when they go out, and there is a scholar who can sit in a sedan chair, if it is a businessman, even if it is a wealthy family, but the status is low, and the same can not sit in a sedan chair, so in this regard, the sedan chair of the Ming Dynasty is much more precious than the modern BMW.

Of course, because Zhanfei did not have any official position, nor did he sit in a sedan chair, he could only sit in a sedan chair carried by two people, and it took a full forty minutes for the sedan chair to arrive outside the prince's mansion.

And at this moment, there are already a lot of scholars gathered outside the prince's mansion, and the people who read are the most contradictory, on the one hand, they are proud of themselves, and on the other hand, they want to really read Yan Ruyu and the Golden House in the book, so they naturally can't miss this kind of occasion when they have the opportunity to become famous.

At this moment, there is already a long queue outside the Prince's Mansion, all of them are scholars who want to enter the Prince's Mansion, and nine of the ten of them are the kind that need to participate in the assessment, because the time is limited, and the Prince has a wide range of invitations, basically most of the really talented people have been invited.

So this assessment process is relatively rough, they invited a few old shows to come up with the question, the difficulty of the question is medium, the key is to answer it in a very short time, this is more troublesome.

After all, although making pairs is not writing poetry, the talent who can really make a poem in seven steps is very least, but it is necessary to match a pair of difficult couplets in a very short time. Agility is also required. It also has a lot to do with luck.

Many scholars who have no fame are stuck in this hurdle. And Zhanfei also lined up in the queue for five minutes before he finally came to the assessment office of the Prince's Mansion, and the old Xiucai also didn't talk nonsense with Zhanfei, and said directly: "Don't talk too much about politics, you must rest and self-denial from the province." ”

This couplet is a pair of honest government, and most of the people invited to this banquet in the Prince's Mansion are talented people from all walks of life. But their status is not very important, and the real status here is the officials invited by Zhu Gaochi, and the lowest of them are all five-grade officials.

Among them, the highest status is the prince and the prince who is responsible for teaching the prince's culture, who is a member of the first grade, and in addition, there are some officials of the six ministries and the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, although the status is not too high, but when they are gathered, they also have a huge influence.

And this banquet. The crown prince is naturally a major protagonist, and those talented people are at the banquet. Responsible for reciting poems and exchanging literary talents, he is also the protagonist, and those officials are a little insignificant, so the prince ordered that all the topics of Lao Xiucai's assessment should be written in couplets written honestly, and afterwards let those officials pick out their favorite pairs and hang them at home.

In this way, these officials not only will not feel that the prince ignores them, but will be very grateful, because Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang punished corrupt officials very strictly, although Taizu has been dead for decades, but this style has been maintained, and even because of the collusion of the eunuchs, the government is controlled, and the east and west factories do whatever they want.

At this time, not only the corrupt officials are afraid, but the Qing officials are afraid, so if you can get back a pair of honest couplets from the prince's mansion and hang them at the door of your own house, it is tantamount to an extra talisman. ”

Lao Xiucai listened, thought for a while, and then applauded: "It's a good one, it's a good one, it's good, you can go in." ”

Zhan Fei listened, nodded, and then strode into the Prince's Mansion, which covers a huge area, almost equivalent to a small village, and countless literati and artists are gathering together to chat.

It's still early, the prince hasn't shown up yet, and the officials invited by the prince have also not been there, Zhanfei is also looking for a quiet small pond nearby, and then directly sits on the ground and waits, as for the shopkeeper, he is not qualified to enter the prince's mansion.

And Zhanfei sat down, thinking that when everyone finished meeting the prince, he would go over by himself, after all, when he saw these officials and the prince with a higher status, I am afraid that everyone who reads will need to kneel and kowtow, Zhanfei has knelt to the sky and kneeled to his parents in his life, and others have really never knelt.

And for the sake of the task, Zhanfei didn't want to have any more conflicts, so he could only hide first, and not long after, he only heard the eunuch's sharp voice sound: "The prince and the master have arrived!" "The Hanlin Academy Scholar has arrived!" The prince has arrived! ”

It wasn't until the last that the prince finally appeared, and Zhanfei estimated that those talents should have knelt on the ground at this moment, and when the prince appeared for about fifteen minutes, Zhanfei estimated that these things were done, and then went to the gathering place of the prince and others.

The prince's mansion is huge, and the prince invited a lot of people this time, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to have a seat, when Zhanfei passed, but saw a large number of talented people standing there, Zhanfei found a place with more people, and also went in, and then put his eyes on the place where the prince and others were sitting.

Sitting in the middle is not Zhu Gaochi, but an old man in his sixties, the prince and the prince, although the prince and the prince are first-class officials, but the status is still inferior to the prince, but the prince in order to show respect for the teacher, so let the prince and the prince sit in the middle, and the prince is sitting on one side.

And Zhanfei is also lamented by the strength of female genes, it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang looks very ugly, but after only three generations of genetic optimization, by the generation of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, his appearance is already extremely good, and he can be called a handsome guy.

Although he is the crown prince and the future emperor, Zhanfei didn't feel any of the king's eight qi or the power of dominating the world from the other party, he just felt that he was a young man with more spirit, and below the prince and the prince and the prince, there were those officials invited by the prince, and these people were all looking at the prince and the prince and the prince with a smile.

As for the talents below, they don't bother to take a look, most of the talents are standing, but there are so many talents, but they are sitting below those officials, and these talents have a significant thing in common, that is, they are very handsome and graceful. (To be continued......)
