Chapter 121: Before entering the officialdom, the undercurrent swells first

"What Brother Zixian said, although it is not hit, it is not far away!" is weak, Yang Mengxian can drop the book bag.

When he returned to the courtyard, all the scholars went to sleep one after another, and he didn't even care about eating, but Wang Sheng was very interested, and the noodle soup he had eaten in it for three days in a row made him hungry.

A few days later, the results came in. As expected, Wang Sheng is on the list, although he is not the first, but he is also in the fifth, which is Jingyuan.

The other people, Yang Mengxian hung at the end, and was almost kicked out, and the clerk was above the middle, in addition to the three of them, there were several people who all won the middle and upper grades, but there was one, called Chen Zihan, who won Huiyuan.

In any case, these tribute students will take the palace examination in a few days, and the emperor will ask the questions on the spot when the palace examination is held.

A few of them were really happy in their hearts, and they couldn't help cheering, so that the old grandmother made a delicious meal and treated herself, and three days later, Wang Sheng went to the palace exam with the other tribute students.

Sitting in front of the table, Wang Sheng took the roll paper and studied it carefully, and then carefully pondered and thought, as soon as he entered the question, Wang Sheng did not know where Lu Dao was, with ideas, Wang Sheng always had to take the scratch paper and start to squander, write it down one by one, because although this topic is a little difficult, but in ordinary times, Wang Sheng really thought about this topic, so it is not difficult to break the topic, and there is inspiration in his heart, so he will use the pen like flying, write his own inspiration on the scratch paper, and then synthesize it together and write down the next article, and then corrected a few more mistakes, the most rebellious reputation was written on the scratch paper, not a single typo, and I went through it again, and finally answered the question on the rolling paper.

Wang Sheng's performance. The emperor was sitting on it, naturally looking at it in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning, this paper? It's a little too much, but don't look at Wang Sheng's work as if it's trivial, it's actually organized, so it's the second person to put down the pen besides Chen Zihan.

Chen Zihan is indeed talented. An article on how to put an end to corruption was written by Chen Zihan as a flower, which is really a Chinese chapter, and the words in it are as gorgeous as silk satin, and it can also fit the title of the article, and put forward two practical methods.

In fact. Wang Sheng's article is not bad, but after all, it is not as good as Chen Zihan, who has been taught by a famous teacher since childhood. Talent and good. The environment at home is also good, and the literary style is not comparable, but there is one thing that Chen Zihan is not as good as Wang Sheng's is that Wang Sheng's ideas are more pragmatic and to the point, and he has a peek at the pros and cons of officialdom. and also put forward a very useful method, so that the emperor couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.

Of course, in addition to the articles of the two of them, there are also a few good ones, and the emperor singled out them pragmatically. and the one who is good at writing was also singled out, and in the end, after several hesitations to determine the ranking, Chen Zihan was handpicked as the champion, Liu Sansi was the leader, and Wang Shengsheng explored the flowers!

And Yang Mengxian and others also became jinshi, and their Chinese books played abnormally, and they almost became fellow jinshi.

As soon as this ranking came out, Chen Zihan, Liu Sansi, and Wang Sheng became the object of envy of everyone, and the president of Yingtian Academy was even more ecstatic after learning the news, because this represents the honor of the academy, not to mention that Chen Zihan is their native of Yingtian Academy, just say that Wang Sheng, they are all half of Yingtian Academy, in recent years, Yingtian Academy and several other academies have competed fiercely, and an exchange meeting will be organized in one or two years. Just because of the four major academies, no one is convinced by anyone, so they simply use this way to compete.

In addition to this, what other way can the four major academies distinguish the winners and losers? Naturally, it has passed the imperial examination, through the ranking, through the number of various examinations, to decide, the most decisive amount, naturally is this palace examination, now the champion and Tanhua are both people of Yingtian Academy, Yingtian Academy is naturally deservedly the first academy.

At this time, the dean of Yingtian Academy was glad for the first time that his academy had set a decision to allow foreign students to enter the academy to observe, no, it made Yingtian Academy surpass the other three academies at once and become the first academy in the world, and it didn't take long for this name to spread all over the world.

The voice of the dean of Yingtian Academy, Wang Sheng naturally does not know the way, he has been lifted, according to the convention, the list of eyes to explore the flowers is to parade the street, Wang Sheng is not the first time to ride a horse, at this time Wang Sheng is also glad that he listened to Master Yang's words and came out to travel, this can enter Yingtian Academy, in Yingtian Academy, learned to ride a horse, otherwise it should be ugly in this horseback riding pass.

Wang Sheng was also ecstatic in his heart, although Wang Sheng was sure of his Zhongjinshi, but he didn't expect that one day a big pie would fall from the sky and hit himself, oh my God, Tanhualang, naturally he could become Tanhualang!

For a while, Wang Sheng, who was often calm, was not calm, his mind was blank, until he returned to the inn, he was stupid, and when he stepped on the street three days later, Wang Sheng just acted according to the instructions, and he still looked like he was in a dream when he was hit by Tanhualang.

After returning from the street tour, in the evening, a banquet was held led by the eldest prince, in fact, such a banquet will be held every time, even if it is not a prince, it will be held by the powerful, to attract these new stars who are obviously rising tomorrow, so in this banquet, even a powerful family will send people to come.

To put it bluntly, this banquet is actually to give the new jinshi a chance to have a short contact with those powerful people in the court, of course, the protagonist is the champion, the list eye, and the tanhua, but there are also many jinshi who use this banquet to meet their nobles, or which faction they are attached to.

Yang Mengxian found out for the first time that Wang Sheng also looked so stupid, he was originally envious and unconvinced by Wang Shengzhong's Tanhualang, and felt that the level of the two was obviously about the same, why could Wang Sheng get Tanhualang? However, now seeing Wang Sheng's stupid appearance, he was not unconvinced, and he was angry, and when he saw that Wang Sheng was still like this, he was a little worried, and said to Wang Sheng: "Brother Zixian, why do you make such a gesture, but is there something wrong?" ”

Wang Sheng was still a little dumbfounded: "Brother Meng Xian, when did you come here?" You say, this time, I'm not dreaming, right? I'm so worried, when I wake up, these are gone. ”

Listen to that. Yang Mengxian completely lost his temper, and laughed out loud, from knowing Wang Sheng to now, the first time he found that Wang Sheng had become stupid, no wonder he didn't go out these days, some people also said that Wang Sheng was arrogant in Tanhualang, but he didn't know how to say, it turned out that he was happy and stupid!

Yang Mengxian was a little worried at the same time, tonight's banquet was led by the eldest prince, and there was water in it. He heard his uncle say, but deeply, this night, although it was not exactly to meet with his colleagues in the future, but. It can also let those people see your performance and decide how to treat you in the future. Good performance. Maybe you can make steady progress in the future, and if you don't perform well, maybe it will stop there.

Therefore, Wang Sheng's current performance is completely unsatisfactory, seeing Wang Sheng like this, Yang Mengxian is very worried. Looking left and right, he simply picked up a broom and smashed it hard at Wang Sheng's thigh. Also, if you don't work hard, Wang Sheng can't be sober at all, the main thing is that as a weak scholar, if he doesn't work hard, he won't have the strength!

Sure enough, Wang Sheng screamed miserably and said to Yang Mengxian: "Brother Meng Xian, but what's wrong, why did you start so hard?" Didn't offend you, did he? ”

Yang Mengxian threw away the broom in his hand and said, "No way, I don't think you've come back to your senses, you're going to attend the banquet held by the eldest prince in the evening, you still look stupid, how can you go?" ”

When Wang Sheng heard this, he said happily: "Hey, it hurts, that means I'm not dreaming!" I really fell for Tanhua, yes, hurry up, I'll write to the child and his mother first, let her come over! ”

Yang Mengxian hurriedly grabbed Wang Sheng and said, "What are you anxious about, you should go and change into normal clothes now, if not, hurry up and buy it, do you want to go out tonight to be embarrassed?" ”

Wang Sheng was also very happy, and when he heard the words, he was still a little confused, and after a while, he reflected what Yang Mengxian said, and said: "Oh, oh, look at what I said, I know the truth!" Then, he waved his hands at Yang Mengxian and said, "Thank you, Brother Mengxian!" ”

Wang Sheng remembered the matter, the banquet in the evening, in fact, has another name, that is, the champion banquet, that is, the banquet specially held for the champion, here, some dignitaries and nobles will go, so, if you behave well, from now on, there are people in the court who are good officials, and if they don't behave well, they can only rely on themselves step by step.

Wang Sheng also heard his mentor talk about this matter, Wang Sheng thought that his mentor had said to himself that in this banquet, although performance is very important, but it can't be too high-profile, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, as long as you don't fall into your own name, it doesn't hurt to keep a low profile.

However, Wang Sheng thought of his current identity, smiled bitterly, and thought: I only thought that I was a Jinshi, and I could do everything without making mistakes. The teacher has never taught, and he has no experience.

His face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and Wang Sheng made up his mind: since he can't tell the difference, he still conforms to his heart, if no one provokes him, he will naturally look at the champion and act in the eyes, anyway, he is not the first, there is nothing to be eye-catching, if someone provokes, he can't weaken his prestige, at least, the arrogance of the reader can't be lost!

However, the banquet in the evening was still a little unexpected by Wang Sheng, the first time he knew that at the champion banquet, there were not only high-ranking officials and nobles, but also some singers and gentlemen, of course, if you don't want it, no one is forced to do it, this kind of thing, in the upper class, among the scholars, it is a romantic affair, Yingtian Academy also has these, Wang Sheng has never seen it, because Wang Sheng is short in Yingtian Academy, and his friends are some poor families such as soup documents, or some righteous people, naturally I have never seen such a situation, todayIt's the first time I've seen it.

Seeing that a dignitary greeted him and wanted to provide him with a singer, Wang Sheng shook his head and refused, of course, Wang Sheng smiled a little tactfully: "There is a wife who is a bad chaff in the family, and a certain person can have today, thanks to his wife's hard work at home, although he is envious of such a rhyme, he is ashamed of it!" ”

As soon as Wang Sheng's words came out, the noble man did not force it, but praised Wang Sheng's posture, so he was not embarrassed, but just praised two sentences, Wang Sheng's favor was not shocked, and he appreciated Wang Sheng's high style and bright festival.

is different from Wang Sheng, the champion Chen Zihan, and Liu Sansi, who are the top eyes, obviously do this thing often, because the two of them are surrounded by two singers, and their appearance can be said to be one of the best in the field, which is obviously specially prepared for them, and their performance is also remarkable. Even Yang Mengxian was followed by a beautiful singer, and there were only a few jinshi. Or most of the Tongjinshi, that is, Shu Jishi, did not follow the singer by his side.

It can be said that among the three people, the champion, the list, and the flower, the most inconspicuous is actually Wang Sheng, first of all, Wang Sheng's appearance is the kind of rough man, and because he used to hunt, he is not the kind of weak scholar who is from the bones, and he does not have that strong scholarly temperament, and secondly. Wang Sheng's age, Wang Sheng is twenty-six this year, and for a man, in another four years, it will already be the year of establishment. And Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi. Liu Sansi is only twenty years old, but Chen Zihan is the youngest. He was only seventeen years old. Both of them are also the kind of beautiful young men, just like the Book of Poetry: There are beautiful women in the north, who are independent and left behind! And from this point of view, no matter how you look at it, the future of the two is much better than Wang Sheng, and the last thing is that it is the family background. Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi let people know at a glance that Lu Dao has a background, while Wang Sheng's behavior is relatively peaceful, and he is obviously from a civilian background. In this way, the grade between the three of them has opened up more than a little, and Wang Sheng is even more unnoticeable, and everyone's focus is almost on the two people.

Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi stood among the scholars, and all eyes were unconsciously focused on them, not only because they were young and promising, but also because they had excellent appearance, and their personable temperament made any woman feel heartbroken, not to mention, they had not only appearance, but also capital, for a while, these two people were in the limelight.

Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi's bearing, as well as the dress, make people see that these two people are not ordinary people, they must also be children of rich families, in this way, their capital is even stronger, I didn't see the four singers standing next to Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi, and because of the nobility of the objects they served, they also became superior in the middle, and the singers on the side were jealous and their eyes were red.

Facts have proved that the eyes of the masses are bright, Chen Zihan and Liu Sansi are indeed the children of rich families, among which Liu Sansi is still from the capital, and his father is now a household secretary and is in a high position. And Chen Zihan's family background is even more famous, is a famous scholarly family, from the Chen family, one of the four major families in Yingtianfu, and legend has it that his ancestors can be traced back to the origin of the Confucian sage, once by the Confucian sage, and the family has the ancestral training left by the Confucian sage.

As the protagonist, Chen Zihan did not shirk, and made a good poem first, obviously a little proud, but said: "Throw bricks and lead jade!" However, as a child of a scholarly family, Chen Zihan is the champion, and how bad can the poems he make.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Sansi also made a poem that was comparable, which attracted everyone's applause, but Chen Zihan was a little unhappy, feeling that Liu Sansi had stolen the limelight, but he praised him with a smile on his face.

Compared with them, Wang Sheng repeatedly excused himself, gave this opportunity to others, and said that he couldn't compose poems, but the first two did it, if Wang Sheng didn't do it, it would seem too unsociable, Wang Sheng made a poem, sure enough, he couldn't compose poems, and the poems he did were mediocre, everyone praised them because of their feelings, but Wang Sheng said: "Everyone is laughing, you have also seen a certain level, I really don't dare to laugh!" This time, it is really not my wish to be ugly in front of everyone, I don't want to be outstanding, I just want to be the last one! ”

Wang Sheng's own words are refreshing, with a bit of self-deprecation, but it has changed the impression of many people because he is not good at writing poems, after all, it is also, as a Tanhualang, he can't even do poetry well, it is really hard to believe that he is Tanhualang, if it is not for the emperor's hand-picking, and there is no background, it is estimated that it will be questioned.

After Wang Sheng said this, he turned a blind eye to the surrounding discussions, Liu Sansi and Chen Zihan saw Wang Sheng's performance, and felt a lot more relieved, feeling that even if Wang Sheng went to the Hanlin Academy, he would not be his opponent, Liu Sansi and Chen Zihan still didn't know what to say, the so-called Hanlin Academy, those who can enter are all the top few in the imperial examination every year, and those who are not good at literature can not enter, their talents may look dazzling at this banquet, but in fact, any person in the Hanlin Academy, if you take it out, the talent will not be worse than them.

Wang Sheng picked up the wine jug and drank two sips, as a tanhualang, even if the poems are not good, he will not be completely ignored, and from time to time he will talk to people for a few sentences, but he is not affected at all just now, and he is not angry with those who question himself, even if no one cares, Wang Sheng also tastes the food by himself, and he will not feel bored at all, some dignitaries and nobles look at it, but they appreciate Wang Sheng more, after all, for these dignitaries, literary style is indeed very important, but this is only a threshold, Those who really want to be big officials are not necessarily those who are good at writing, ability and luck are the most important, so it is also very important to look at their behavior.

The banquet was led by the eldest prince, and the second prince and the third prince naturally wanted to give face to participate, during which the three princes looked coldly at the performance of all the jinshi present. Among them, the eldest prince likes Chen Zihan the most, and he is quite concerned in his words, and the second prince is concerned about the list of eyes and willows, and the third prince looks at Wang Sheng differently. It's also strange to say that these three princes seem to be competing with each other, and they seem to be humble to each other, and even this humility is in the order of the eldest and youngest, no, one corresponds to the other.

In fact, there is indeed a reason for this, if only one of the three princes comes, it is natural that the three princes are all co-opted, but the three princes are there, then, in order to avoid being attacked by the other two princes, or being said to be a party for personal gain, and worried that more people will cause the unhappiness of the other two princes, it has caused the current situation, as if it is a distribution of interests, one person, they have not spoken to each other, but they have a very tacit understanding with each other, there is no need to say it specifically, can tacitly complete this distribution.

It's not that they are fixed or the eldest prince is the champion, the basic distribution method is that the eldest prince picks first, not necessarily which one he likes, and then the second prince picks, but it can't be the same as the eldest prince, the eldest prince likes it, and the second prince is not allowed to take a fancy to it, and the third prince basically has no choice, after all, they will generally choose in the top three in the palace examination, which is the most brilliant three, and it is okay not to follow this principle, however, few people will do it.

And the reason why the eldest prince picked Chen Zihan was not to fancy Chen Zihan's title of champion, but to Chen Zihan's background, before coming, the eldest prince naturally had an understanding of the background of the three people, for the eldest prince, his power is already very large, there is no lack of power, but there is a lack of other things, the eldest prince is to fancy the identity of Chen Zihan's scholarly family, what he lacks is the background of this scholarly family, if Chen Zihan can be used by him, the day the throne comes, can it be far away?

And the second prince is also the background of the three people who know Lu Dao, and the third prince is the same. The second prince chose Liu Sansi because he took a fancy to the identity of Liu Sansi's father, Hubu Shangshu, you must know that Lu Dao, Hubu Shangshu is in charge of the country's money and grain, such a relationship needs to be befriended, when the time comes, if Liu Sansi can be used by him, then, his own potential can also take the opportunity to rise, and the rest can naturally be planned slowly.

Among them, the weakest is the three princes, and the corporal of the eldest prince's courtesy, is famous for his thirst for talent, and the second prince is also well-known, only the third prince, since childhood, has a serious face, pays attention to rules, pays attention to order, and the management of his subordinates is also very strict, so that many people are not used to it, although they also know that the three princes are dedicated to the people, but not many people like it.

Unlike the two princes, the third prince takes a fancy to Wang Sheng, and he naturally knows that Wang Sheng's background is not very good, but he doesn't need, or doesn't want to be so obviously wooing people, what to do with so much limelight? The father is not a fool, he just needs to continue to play his serious and selfless role, although he likes Wang Sheng, he still has to observe for a while, even if he wants to win over, it is also a private contact, on this bright side, looking for death.

Of course, with the age of the three princes, they naturally couldn't think of it so far-reaching, these are the mothers of the three princes have a wise mind, and tell the three princes about this. (To be continued......)
