Enke is still in a lively and lively manner, so that people ignore it, it is now March of the first year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty has completely entered the Jiajing era, and the last mark of Zhu Houzhao has also disappeared, and Zhengde has really become a piece of past history.

As the cabinet ministers who have witnessed history, this moment is really a hundred turns.

Since being overshadowed by Zhu Houxi, Yang Tinghe has never entered the cabinet except for important things. And Jia Yong, who is new to the cabinet, has grabbed a lot of votes.

In addition to his awe of Yuan Zonggao, Mao Ji and Jiang Mian, the two scholars, didn't look at it at all.

I, Jia Yong, are lackeys, why are you two not Yang Tinghe's lackeys.

Everyone is a dog, so what's the difference?

If we talk about the difference, it is that our master is more arrogant, so we are more confident when we scream!

The so-called dog fights human power, probably so!

"See, it's not that good, so you won't take us seriously." Mao Ji snorted and complained.

Jiang Mian snorted coldly, "So what?" Now that people are in power, we should also give way. ”

Mao Ji was not convinced, "What is this?" Do they really think they've won? Don't forget that these two capitals and thirteen provinces are not something that one person or two people can carry. Thousands of officials! No matter how big their hands are, they can still cover the sky! ”

When Mao Ji said this, he lowered his voice, and sneered: "Take Enke this time, Your Majesty sent Wang Shouren as the main exam, let me ask, will these people really become the Son of Heaven?" ”

Jiang Mian was stunned, he felt that Mao Ji was a little too much, he was not a person from the Son of Heaven, could it be your person from Master Mao?

Mao Ji smiled, "Elder Jiang Ge, how many people did you say this time Enke?" ”

Jiang Mian groaned: "In the previous examinations, there were more than 3,000 people, and this time Enke, there were slightly more people coming, it should have been over 4,000." ”

Mao Ji shook his head, "It's more than 4,700 people!" ”

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips again and smiled slightly, "There are so many people, how can they see it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Mian was suddenly shocked, he has also been in the court for a long time, so he naturally knows the way to the imperial examination.

The examination gathers scholars from all over the world, and some people have taken the exam for several consecutive sessions, so the number of students in the examination is large, and the last few have been around 4,000.

Moreover, there are three exams, that is, there are more than 10,000 articles in total, which need to be read by the examiner. The results will be announced within 10 days to half a month.

During this period, it has to be copied, and it has to be ranked, and it is necessary to see if there are any omissions.

The amount of work is unimaginable.

Even if you have eighteen eyes and three heads and six arms, it won't work.

In fact, the examination is good, but what is even worse is the township examination, especially in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, these provinces with developed imperial examinations, tens of thousands of people often participate in the township examination, and the terrible thing is that the township examination is only equipped with four same examiners, and the intensity of the marking is simply indescribable.

I will try a little better, and I will double the number of examiners, and there will be eight.

As for the statement of the examiner in the eighteenth room, it was a rule that was set after Kang Mazi, and in the Ming Dynasty, there was naturally no one.

The time is tight, the task is heavy, and you can't complain, so you will try to score the papers, and there is naturally a set of methods.

First of all, it is to mark the paper with the examiner, and if they get it, the principal and deputy examiners will basically not be rejected. Otherwise, you can go through a lot of rolls and find them yourself!

So what are the examiners and deputy examiners responsible for?

It's simple, two words: ranking!

This is just like most government affairs, you think that the supervisor is in charge, but in fact, the specific affairs are done by the people below.

The people who decide your life and death are often the middle and lower-level petty officials.

Therefore, candidates understand a basic truth, what really matters is the room master, they issue admission tickets, and the examiner can only decide whether you sit in the VIP seat or the ordinary seat......

"Old Mao Ge, this time Enke, the Son of Heaven is thinking about it, I'm afraid it won't be so simple!" Jiang Mian sighed: "Now that Yang Ge is basically at home, you and I can't support it alone, and it is really unwise to compete with the Son of Heaven!" ”

Mao Ji saw that Jiang Mian was worried, and he couldn't help but feel contempt.

"Elder Jiang Ge, only at this time, do we need to come forward, boost morale, don't admit defeat easily, once this breath is vented, there will be nothing left."

Mao Ji smiled again: "Elder Jiang Ge, you can rest assured, we know those few people who are targeted by the Son of Heaven." They are old, they have lost battles for a long time, and they are not very familiar with the scientific field articles. As long as we do business, we can keep them out of officialdom. Even if the Son of Heaven is gracious and lets them in, it doesn't matter. Now that Yang Ge is old-fashioned, we have to carry the overall situation! ”

In a word, Mao Ji's mind was revealed.

The old wolf king is no longer good, some have taken refuge in other wolf packs, and some want to replace them!

At this moment, Jiang Mian didn't know what to say.

Monk Yang Ting is like this, and let's see how long you can jump!

……

Nine days of continuous exams have finally come to an end.

All the candidates dragged their tired bodies out of the room.

Even though Wang Yue expected everything and took full care of it, the exam itself alone was enough to consume energy, and to put it mildly, they had already squeezed out half of their life, or even a lifetime's hard work.

Tang Yin walked out of the Gongyuan step by step, he was meaningful, and looked back at the Gongyuan.

To the east of the archway, it is the Ming Jing to take scholars, and the west side is to seek talents for the country.

These eight words are really emotional!

Back then, he was still a personable talent, and in the name of Xie Yuan, he participated in the examination, and he was determined to win.

He is the solution of the heavens!

Ying Tianfu is about to remove Zhejiang's "free shipping area", since ancient times, there are many talents, dragons and snakes gathered, the strength is extraordinary, on the basis of the imperial examination, in the Ming Dynasty ranked among the top three.

The other two are Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

Being able to get Xie Yuan in Yingtian basically locked a place in Hanlin. Of course, the premise is to be good-looking.

Take Zhu Yunming, who is also one of the four great talents, for example, he suffers from being ugly, and what's worse is that he is still a six-fingered child. How can such a person represent the imperial court, Weijiahainei!

That's why Zhu Yunming gave up continuing to take the imperial examination, but made a small county order.

Tang Yin is different, he is personable, even in his twilight years, he is not ugly at all, you can imagine the scene back then.

A young man full of ambition who wants to join the country and serve the country.

turned out to be waiting for a confusing case of fraud in the imperial examination, and then decades of sinking, which made people desperate and helpless, and Tang Yin even thought of death.

And just when he had already been appointed, the opportunity suddenly came.

"I'll get it this time! Xu Jing, you must be watching it in the sky, right? Boss Cheng Minzheng, the world knows your grievances. And Liang Xianggong! You are my hometown teacher. For the sake of me, an uncompetitive disciple, you always fight for your life, and now that you are gone, the disciple only has the results of the scientific examination, to repay your old age! ”

"With so many people watching, this isn't my exam alone! I'm for the exams of countless people! God willing, you must get it! ”

When Tang Yin hesitated, Wen Zhengming also walked out of it. Seeing Tang Yin's expression, he walked up silently and comforted in a low voice: "Brother Bohu, this time is different from before, we can all pass the exam!" ”

Tang Yin was dumbfounded, his old friend was still too naïve, the so-called Hades was good-looking, and the little ghost was difficult.

Will those people willingly let themselves go and turn over the old cases of the past?

Although he is full of confidence in his strength, no one can say for sure that the result has not come out.

However, Tang Yin knew one thing, if it was still those people who gained power, this Ming Dynasty, a little new atmosphere that had just appeared, would also disappear, and there would be no hope anymore.

"Your Majesty, Zhongliang in the court, don't let us people down again!"

Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming took heavy steps and returned to their residences in the outer city.

With the prestige of Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming, how many people went up to the pole to lend them houses, but they all refused. Just outside the city, the house is small, but it is very cozy.

With the sun shining, the room is warm and high, whether it is reading a book or resting, it is very comfortable and enjoyable.

Tang Yin closed his eyes. feels that the passage of these years is like a dream, or rather, his life is a ridiculous dream.

Heaven gave him the most precious talent, but cruelly took everything else.

He is willing to be a mediocre person, good for nothing. After all, those poems and picture scrolls, ink and blue, are all written with painstaking efforts and boiled with bile, which is too difficult.

Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming both refused all visitors, and they did not enter the inner city, but continued to study, constantly writing articles, and preparing for the palace examination.

It's just that only they know how nervous they are.

And in the few days waiting for the results to come out, rumors in the capital were everywhere.

The ferocity even surpassed that of previous imperial examinations.

Some people say that the champion of this imperial examination has long been famous, and the examination is not talent at all, but who is more willing to be a lackey of the son of heaven. As long as you are shameless, you can become an official.

In the Enke examination, it is not a glory at all, on the contrary, it is still a shame of Shilin!

People who hold this view will soon be sprayed with water, what is the shame of Shilin? If you have what it takes, don't take the test! You go to be a hermit, and you don't eat the fireworks of the world!

At this time, there is another argument, that is, the exam is unfair!

Some people said that the articles selected by several house teachers were stunned by others, but from a large number of candidates who failed the list, a few bullshit and unruly eight-strand essays were selected.

Cheating in the field has always been the most nerve-stimulating.

As soon as such a rumor came out, it exploded in an instant, and people immediately took their seats, and they also buckled the basin on Wang Yue's head.

said that there was a young minister who didn't even know a word, and he dared to judge Jinshi's article. It's especially ridiculous that whoever wins is his protégé.

To be an apprentice to such a stinky hairy child, this class of scholars is really embarrassing.

Cui Shilin heard more than one person say this. Anyway, he doesn't care about anything, if he encounters one, he will send one to the yamen, and he must let them eat some cells and bloom in their butts.

Otherwise, these grandsons will have too stinky mouths.

What happened to being Wang Yue's apprentice?

I should be willing!

And rightfully so!

At least a certain pavilion elder can't be if he wants to!

In fact, smart people can see that these public opinion offensives, to put it bluntly, are all about pouring feces on Enke this time, regardless of whether it is true or false, first give people an impression full of ills, and then operate, it is logical, after all, people are professional!

Sure enough, this time Enco wasn't so easy!

In the difficult waiting, ushered in the release of the list, one team after another, sending good news in an endless stream, and the whole capital gradually heated up......

"Good news, good news! Congratulations to Master Wen, the seventeenth place in the high school entrance exam, the face of the heavenly temple! ”

Wen Zhengming stood up instantly, and threw the reward silver in his sleeve to the annunciation.

"Hit, I did!"

Wen Zhengming was dazed, and the next second he suddenly noticed Tang Yin, "Brother Bohu, Brother Bohu!" You're in front of me! Wen Zhengming danced excitedly, and had a thought, is there any hope that it will be Huiyuan! If this is the case, Tang Yin is only two yuan, only one champion is missing!

Obediently, so far, the Ming Dynasty has only one three-yuan and first! Will there be a second one? It's exciting!
