Chapter 19: The Twin Kings Township Test

Yan Chengjin looked at it, and there were three words of Zhao Houzhu on the book.

The ancients attached great importance to filial piety, loyalty, and honesty, Liu Bei was the king of Zhongshan Jing who was upright, Cao Cao rebelled, and Zhu Houzhao wrote him as a righteous teacher, risking the world's disapproval, how could he be popular?

Sure enough, the capital was boiling, saliva was like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly, and the scolding was like the thunder of the nine heavens, night after night.

The whole capital is scolding Zhao Houzhu, and the least bought it is the storyteller, who gave this mysterious Zhao Houzhu a few identities and scolded him for seven days and seven nights.

At this time, in the East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he could gain a wave of fame, and when he heard the scolding, he beat Liu Jin hard.

"Your Highness...... What the slave said is true! Liu Jin cried aggrievedly.

In the early morning of late August, the air was mixed with a cold breath, and the yellow orioles flew to the eaves of the Yan Mansion and chirped happily.

Today is a good day for autumn, Jingshi is very lively early in the morning, and the vendors set up stalls in front of the Gongyuan early in the morning, selling pen, ink, lamps and other things.

In the early morning of Yan's house, it was much more lively than usual, the son came from a young age and had no mother, when the father naturally opened up in person, Yan Kesong got up when the rooster crowed, running back and forth, and commanding people to prepare.

Chunxiao sent a set of new Confucian clothes, but Yan Chengjin had to wear seventy percent of the new clothes, so that Qiu Xiao could play well.

Yan Kesong, who has always been thrifty, let the kitchen prepare a table of sumptuous breakfast.

Yan Chengjin only drank two bowls of wolfberry bird's nest porridge.

Yan Kesong's gaze softened suddenly, and Lao Huai said with relief: "Chengjin, my father is strict with you on weekdays, because my father is a small Hanlin editor, unlike those princesses, who are favored by the world, and have a title to pass on to you." Dad has always felt guilty, alas, a dignified seven-foot man, why did he cry, don't say it, you let go of the test, now our father and son can't starve to death in the capital. ”

Yan Kesong felt guilty in his heart, he was busy writing books these days, and he was tired of lecturing to the prince, so he didn't have time to give Yan Chengjin a lesson.

Yan Chengjin has always been speechless with his father, and he can fight for melons, but he is a little uncomfortable to be watched by him with such an old father's eyes.

Three luxury pens, checked it by myself, and asked my dad to check it again, and then went out alone.

The shouting of the street on weekdays is far apart, and you can hear it when you go out today, and the excitement on the street is no less than the temple fair on the fifteenth day of the first month.

I had expected that the atmosphere in the capital would be very tense and dignified today, in order to alleviate the high-pressure atmosphere, Yan Chengjin had already prepared a relaxing tune to encourage himself, humming all the way at the moment:

"After decades of hard work, once back to B.C.,

The family wealth is one acre and three points of land, and the more you plow, the poorer you are.

The first sentence when you get up every day, cheer yourself up first,

To be a man, to be a man, to eat chicken, to eat running chicken......"

When they came to the Gongyuan, the Confucian scholars were surrounded by water, and they were queuing up one after another to search their bodies, except for pens and lamps, the rest were not allowed to be brought.

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is quite strict, and the candidates have to stay in the number room of the Gongyuan for three days, so the lamps and lanterns must be brought by themselves, in addition to three pens, and the excess items are regarded as fraud and arrested on the spot.

At this time, Yan Chengjin actually heard someone scolding Zhao Houzhu.

It turned out that it was because of the Three Kingdoms competition for hegemony a while ago, and the scholars all checked the history books to corroborate it, and then they remembered that they woke up to the exam, and they cursed Zhao Houzhu for harming people a lot, if he didn't say that Cao Cao was a good person, how could they check the information to corroborate.

Yan Chengjin hid in the corner, but saw a scholar with a face like a crown of jade walking towards him, looking at him with his eyes, as if he had come to find him.

The scholar bowed to him and spat fragrantly: "Childe is the son of Yan Xiu, Yan Chengjin?" ”

Yan Chengjin looked around, the noise was too loud, no one noticed their conversation, thought about it, and admitted in a low voice: "It's down." ”

The scholar blushed for a moment, seemed to be reluctant, and said in embarrassment: "Student Cheng Zitang, the word is Chengxiang, and my father is Cheng Minzheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Yan Chengjin was wary, he had heard of it in poetry and literature, and he had heard of Cheng Minzheng who was so angry that he was bedridden.

Cheng Zitang said: "A few days ago, after the dispute between my father and Yan Bianxiu, I couldn't afford to be sick, and I didn't go to court for many days, I was both worried and guilty, and I learned that my son was also a candidate for this subject, so my father ordered the student, and he must be better than you, and his parents died, and he didn't dare to resign, so he had to be careful." ”

The enemy, the interests of each other, life and death.

is an enemy, should be invaded by fire and water, encountering such a polite confession, Yan Chengjin couldn't help but sigh, the world style of the Ming Dynasty is really good.

Yan Chengjin also bowed and said, "I already know that I will go all out." ”

The township examination of Shuntianfu was examined by Wang Wei and Wang Hua, and the scholars were also called the Shuangwang Township Examination.

After searching, all the scholars entered the Gongyuan, and the officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu locked the courtyard.

Yan Chengjin entered his small room, rising day by day, and the room was slowly stuffy, and there was a smell of fascination in the corner, which was very unpleasant.

Yan Chengjin was a child from the countryside in his last life, and he had suffered everything, but at this moment, he was ...... It's a feeling of nagging.

Fortunately, I am wearing seventy percent of the new Confucian clothes, which are often soaked in Menglou brand laundry detergent, and there is a fragrance on the body to protect the body, which is better.

After the gong sounded, the first subject of the Shuncheonfu Township Examination began.

Yan Chengjin quickly sharpened the ink, and when the official hair of the test paper was in his hand, he could already start answering.

After three games, it makes people look down on life and death, and even Yan Chengjin felt exhausted after making sufficient preparations in advance, not to mention those scholars.

However, the township exam is finally over.

Ten years of hard work is not something ordinary people can bear.

Out of the tribute courtyard, there were many crazy scholars, and the officers and soldiers of Shuntianfu took away dozens of people.

is already not young, although Xiucai received the court's favors in the township government, but there is not much silver, not enough to feed three people.

The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was not consecutive, and if you missed it, you had to wait for another three years, and many scholars with poor family backgrounds had to support their families and had to make a living.

Yan Chengjin sighed, did not stay for a long time, returned to Yan's mansion, took a comfortable bath, Wang Busui didn't know whether it was deliberate or coincidental, on this day to send silver.

"What are you talking about, my father and my wife...... Zhao Houzhu's book actually sold better than Dream Tower? ”

Yan Chengjin couldn't believe it.

According to Wang Busui, after the township test, those scholars bought a lot before returning to their hometown, just to scold Zhao Houzhu with reason and evidence.

In the past few days, the speed of publishing books has become faster.

was scolded so badly, I believe Zhu Houzhao also knew, in this case, he even insisted on proving to the world that Cao Cao was a big hero, Yan Chengjin admired Zhu Houzhao's spirit very much.

East Palace,

Recently, the teacher-student relationship between Yan Kesong and Zhu Houzhao has become a little delicate, and it is still a master-apprentice relationship.

Yan Ke said with a humble heart: "Your Highness, the minister is here ......"

Zhu Houzhao said with a grin: "Don't be afraid, there is Liu Companion guarding outside, the palace has invented more than a dozen kinds of codes, Long Xiao is the father is here, the tiger is the master Wang Hua is here, the rooster is the master Wang Hua is here, and even the three masters of the cabinet have it, you can write a book with peace of mind." ”

Yan Kesong sighed secretly, Gonggong Liu is really versatile.

Yan Kesong naturally didn't dare to ask, and said: "Your Majesty randomly inspects His Royal Highness's studies, isn't it ......?"

Zhu Houzhao looked suddenly enlightened, so he picked up the book: "Master Yan concentrates on writing books, so he writes according to what Bengong just said, and Bengong himself reads." ”

Yan Kesong's face was black, and this book was destroyed in Zhu Houzhao's hands.
