Chapter 291: The Palace Exam

Suddenly appeared in a brand new, even some parts of the environment that are not quite in line with their own three views, almost everyone will not adapt, the difference is that some people can't resist and can only go with the flow, while some people try to use their own abilities to change...... Even if it's just a little bit.

Xiao Qi is the former, and Qian Yuan is the latter.

More than three years ago, Qian Yuan traveled to this era, and at first regarded it as an interesting life journey, but with the death of his father and brother and the invasion of the Japanese invaders, his mentality gradually changed greatly, and he began to try to stretch out his mantis arm to make the rolling direction of the wheel of history shift a little.

But Qian Yuan thought that Xiao Qi's words were not unreasonable, and there was no need for him to be different at any time and in any place...... There is a clear difference between the traverser and the native.

However, this idea was quickly shattered...... Just fifteen days later.

March 15th.

Half a month's time is gone in the blink of an eye, I want to visit the house master, I want to visit the same year, and I have to receive countless admirers, or Dengke, or not Dengke...... For example, this time there is light for those who returned disappointed again.

In addition, Qian Yuan also had to be busy organizing certain activities, such as the activities of the Suiyuan Mahjong Club, such as falling in love every five days...... It's hard to get busy.

Fortunately, the palace test was changed to March 15 during the Chenghua period, and the list was released at the end of February, and the palace test was held on March 1.

On the third watch, two hundred and ninety-six new Kegong soldiers gathered outside the left gate, almost everyone was excited, everyone was in good spirits, and some even had trembling legs...... Almost, only Qian Yuan was yawning.

He also wanted to fit into this atmosphere, and he desperately recalled the college entrance examination that year...... Well, the college entrance examination is a mess, and the answer sheets are all filled in incorrectly...... Qian Yuan turned his head and looked at Tao Dalin and Sun Yan, who were usually calm, these two seemed to be calm, but they were obviously uneasy.

I really can't empathize...... For countless scholars, Jinshi is their path to heaven, but for Qian Yuan, it is not the only way.

Such Qian Yuan can easily attract the attention of others, especially when he is standing in the penultimate position after everyone is arranged.

Xian Yuan clenched his fists with both hands, his head was high, Qian Yuan inserted his hands into his sleeves to keep warm, his head was lower, and he yawned from time to time.

When the time came, the sky was slightly bright, the palace door was wide open, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted in a solemn and long tone: "Xuan Jiajing Bingchen Kegong is born!" ”

This is the easiest test that Qian Yuan has crossed, there is no difference, all of them can be ordered into the jinshi, and they are also included...... Everyone received a pack of palace cakes, and the most important thing is that they don't have to carry the box, and the palace test will take one day.

Along the royal street, Qian Yuan didn't need to think too much, just follow the team, he had only been to Beijing twice in his previous life, one of which didn't even come out of the high-speed rail station, and once he came to travel, but he only went to a few places, but the Forbidden City still came.

Gongshi and his entourage went straight forward, crossed the Jinshui Bridge into Chengtianmen, and walked into the Taihe Hall under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites...... The steps were all messed up, if Qian Yuan hadn't been able to bear to stretch out his hand, he would probably have to kneel.

In the eyes of scholars in this era, this is called the power of imperial power.

At the front of the Taihe Palace, a person was sitting on a round bench with an old age, and more than a dozen officials were surrounded by the stars in the middle.

Of course, there are also a few people who disdain to go far away, such as Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Mo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials.

There are also a few people who stand in the middle impartially, such as Xu Lun, the secretary of the military department who has just taken office, such as Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Lu Ben, the assistant of the cabinet.

"Old Yan Ge, Old Xu Ge, the new science and technology jinshi is here." It was Ge Lao Lu Ben who spoke, and he was qualified to say this, because he was a native of Yuyao, Shaoxing, and the first and second would be Shaoxing people, and he was honored.

In fact, there are as many as 19 people in Shaoxing Mansion for this branch of Jinshi.

There are six passes on the road to the imperial examination, and the palace examination is the most special, because he is nominally a protégé of the Son of Heaven, so there is no chief examiner in the palace examination, only a paper reader, who will hand the best ten or twenty examination papers to the emperor after reviewing, and the imperial pen will hand-pick.

There is also a standard for the reading officer, just one standard, Da Jiuqing and the Hanlin bachelor who is in charge of Hanlin affairs, and the cabinet, in fact, this is also the standard of Tingtui.

There are small tables on both sides of the Taihe Hall, this is the examination room prepared by the Honglu Temple, Qian Yuan turned his head and couldn't help frowning, this is also too short...... There are really not many people like him who are nearly 1.8 meters tall.

Yan Song got up tremblingly under the support of his godson Zhao Wenhua, ready to lead the way to bow down to the empty emperor's throne, and then announced the official start of the palace examination.

But at this moment, there was a wave of flags on the side, and the leader came at a gallop was the eunuch Huang Jin, the master of ceremonies.

A group of important ministers were stunned, even Yan Song Xu Jie, who was very surprised, since Jiajing moved to Xiyuan after the change of Renyin Palace in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, the two palace examinations in the twenty-third and twenty-sixth years were held in Xiyuan, after all, the protégé of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven got the field.

But even if it was held in Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing did not show up, so from the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the palace examination room returned to the Taihe Hall in the Forbidden City.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing, who hadn't returned to the Forbidden City for many years, actually came back and came to participate in this palace exam.

Although it is a Taoist uniform, but after all, he has been an emperor for more than 30 years, and Emperor Jiajing has the potential to reign over the world when he sits on the throne.

Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shouted that the palace examination had begun, and the candidates sat down one after another, and many eyes were focused on the person at the back of the queue.

The reason is very simple, just yesterday afternoon, Zhejiang sent the latest battle report, Ning Shaotai general Qi Jiguang led the army to destroy the Japanese in Ningbo, killing more than 400 people, capturing 20 warships, and not a single person was lost, Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed.

If the officials of the military department are conscientious in their duties, they will definitely be able to remember that the "no one is lost" at the end of this war report is not the first time that it has appeared, after Qi Jiguang was promoted to the rank of general of Ning Shaotai, he fought three times, all of them in the field, and the second and third times were all without losing a single person to defeat the Japanese invaders.

If there were Nie Bao's old department students in the military department, they would remember that in Huating two years ago, there was also such a victory that claimed not to lose a single person.

Xu Jie, Li Mo, and Lu Ben didn't feel anything, but Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, who had more contact with Qian Yuan, were keenly aware of the connection, and Qi Jiguang seemed to have a deep relationship with Qian Yuan.

Even Zhao Wenhua remembered very well that the first time he visited the food garden, Qian Yuan mentioned Qi Jiguang, in the battle of Linpingshan, Qian Yuan tried to ensure that Qi Jiguang led the army out of the city, and later recommended it several times before going to Huizhou to prepare for the exam.

If it weren't for Qian Yuan's strong recommendation, Qi Jiguang, who had no military merits, would not be eligible to be allowed to recruit and train the new army, you must know that only four people are allowed to train the new army now, and those three are Tan Lun, Yu Dayou, and Lu Bin.

You must know that training a new army not only means that the general himself is favored by his superiors, but also means that a lot of resources will be consumed.

And Emperor Jiajing clearly remembered that during the Lantern Festival two months ago, Xu Wei and Qian Yuan mentioned Qi Jiguang in front of him more than once or twice, and even Qian Yuan lent Qi Jiguang a lot of guards as a teacher in the army.

The few officials who know the inside story believe that it was yesterday's battle report that made Emperor Jiajing very happy, and even loved Wu and Wu.

Yan Song was already thinking that he was faceless anyway, so he simply didn't have the shame to point Qian Yuan as the champion......

But alas, this time they guessed wrong.

In Emperor Jiajing's own words, it was the unstable Dao heart tonight, and he suddenly came to look at the new science and technology jinshi.

In Huang Jin's words, the emperor can't sleep tonight.

The fact is that after the year, whether it was Yan Song, Xu Jie, or Li Chunfang, Guo Pu, and Yuan Wei of the Hanlin Academy, the green words written could not satisfy Emperor Jiajing.

Therefore, he came to see Xu Wei today.

Because, today's palace test is the old rule of the Jiajing Dynasty, a question, a green word.
