As the night wore on, the banquet was crowded.

The life of Jingguan is mostly monotonous and boring, and it is rare to get together here today, so that many people are a little drunk, and Xiao Jinian is directly drunk.

The Lin Mansion had long been accustomed to this, either arranging for people to be sent back directly, or settling in the mansion.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhiqing, you go home first, next time I will definitely not get drunk with you!"

Yang Futian sent people away, and when he returned here, only Lin Haoran was sipping tea.

"I originally wanted to make some noise in Jiangxi, but the teacher told me not to interfere in it and focus on the next hall exam!" Lin Haoran drank a lot of wine, but he was still sober-minded.

Lin Jinyuan sent a tea cup to Yang Futian, Yang Futian first nodded his thanks, and then responded: "This is the teacher's style, but what Xu Jie's real intention is, I still don't understand it now!" ”

"Xu Jie's current position is stable, he should still want to win the name by liquidating Yan Song and Yan Shifan, whether he will take the opportunity to engage in punishment next, but it is not easy to judge!" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and analyzed lightly.

Yang Futian immediately sarcastically said disdainfully: "He Xu Jie, who was basically the same as the Yan family, was in power for three years, and even Wei Yinbao thought about calming things down, did he really think that everyone in the world was blind?" ”

"Let's drink tea first to cool off!" Lin Haoran kindly reminded him, and asked with a straight face: "Does the Xianling Qi'en Hall really cost seven or three thousand taels?" ”

"Although I am not responsible for this project, I am afraid that you don't know the doorway if you are not in the Ministry of Works. When you built the new city of Xiangshan, the imperial court allocated 30,000 or 20,000 silver, and the land was convenient for repair, because the bricks, stones and workers were not valuable. It's just that the Qi'en Palace is the face of the royal family, not to mention the need for a large number of exquisite craftsmen, the materials for the construction of the Qi'en Palace are all made of golden silk nanmu according to the regulations, especially the dozen or so beams and pillars must be found in the deep mountains and old forests. I've seen the new drawings of the Grace Palace, and the offer given by the Ministry of Industry is not boring, and I'm afraid I will have to add it in the future! Yang Futian took a sip of tea and looked extremely professional and authentic.

Lin Haoran knew that Yang Futian would not deceive himself, so he made a request: "You arrange for people to keep an eye on this project, and if there is any abnormal behavior, hand over the news to Mr. Sun!" ”

Yang Futian realized that this matter was not simple, so he nodded solemnly and agreed.

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Futian also said goodbye and left because he had to go to the government tomorrow.

The next day, Lin Haoran was able to take a day off as usual, but it was the busiest day.

Early in the morning, 300 new Kogons still maintained the excitement of yesterday's high school, and they all came to visit with gifts and protégés.

In this group of people, there are several familiar faces, including Meng Zhao, Chen Wude and other teachers and students who were scared by the Guangdong Township Trial, as well as Zhang Shiju and Wang Tingchen who presided over the palace examination in Shuntian Mansion.

However, many previous teacher-student relationships were actually famous, just like Xu Jie and Yuan Wei can also be said to be teacher-student names, but I am afraid that the parties involved are not the same thing.

It's just that today, they have handed over the thorns one after another, and they have officially formed a teacher-student relationship with Lin Haoran.

In officialdom, the relationship between teachers and students is the most reliable relationship, at least since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one has dared to jump out and openly contradict the teacher.

In more cases, it is still like Wu Shilai and Zhang Chong charging for his teacher, and they did not hesitate to jump out to impeach Yan Song and his son.

Lin Jinyuan is a qualified housekeeper, and he checks every protégé thorn and then carefully puts it away, which is the proof of the teacher-student relationship between the two parties.

"You wait for the first time to enter the officialdom, and give you three announcements for the teacher!"

"When you first enter the officialdom, keep a pure heart, and don't be confused by fame and fortune!"

"Whether it's a Beijing official or a magistrate, you have to think twice before making a decision!"

"If you are too high, you will hurt your benevolence, and if you are too good, you will hurt your righteousness, and you should do something for the official and not do something!"

……

Lin Haoran faced 300 protégés, and he also did his duty as a teacher, pointing out the way for them.

Thanks to the fact that half of them were from a poor family like Chen Wude this time, they silently recorded Lin Haoran's warnings.

On March 1, Lin Haoran returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Lin Haoran is very capable, the reality is that "no matter who leaves, the Ministry of Rites and the Yamen will turn around", so he did not pile up any affairs.

Lin Haoran didn't feel that he was very important, and soon entered the role, so that the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites could operate more efficiently.

Seeing that the North Korean envoy was coming, he already had an idea in his heart, so he just laughed it off.

The most important thing in the Ministry of Rites in the near future, in addition to the burial of King Jing who was transported to the capital, is the Qingming Festival and the upcoming palace test.

News came out from the Xingbu Yamen that the time for Yan Shifan to be beheaded had been set, on the 24th of this month.

Many things don't all happen all at once, but they take time to brew, and there are people behind the scenes who choose the timing.

It is precisely because of this that everyone's energy seems to be concentrated in the official business in their hands, and there is no major movement on all sides.

On March 15, the temple examination came as scheduled.

The new Kegongshi came to the front of the West Garden early, and when the palace gate of the West Garden was wide open, they followed the officials of the Ministry of Rites into this sacred palace complex and came to the front of the Ziguang Pavilion to participate in the palace examination.

Each of them appeared to be in good spirits, and the journey of the imperial examination was about to complete the final step, and each of them would complete the transformation from scholars to officials.

Since there is no elimination system in the palace examination, as long as they don't do anything excessive, they will be able to get the fame of the Jinshi, so as to become the most beautiful Jinshi officer in the Ming Dynasty.

The three hundred tributes led by Huiyuan Chen Jingbang sat in the examination room in front of the Ziguang Pavilion, and were swaying their pen and ink on the white rice paper, concentrating on the last exam.

Although it is said that the Son of Heaven reads the papers, the current emperor is obsessed with cultivating the mysteries, but it is impossible to open every one. Jiajing usually checks the top ten copies that are delivered, and doesn't even look at the top ten copies, so there is the ridiculous "Thunder Champion" Qin Minglei.

The 300 tributes knew that it was not only the emperor who really wanted to impress, but more importantly the officials who read the scrolls this time, so they not only wrote brilliant articles, but also showed calligraphy.

The next day, in the side hall of the Purple Light Pavilion.

The lineup of the palace examination paper reading officer is extremely luxurious, the chief reading officer is the first assistant Xu Jie, the second seat reading officer Yuan Wei, the general reading officer has the Ministry of Shangshu Wu Shan, the household department Shangshu Yan Ne, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Li, the Ministry of War Shangshu Yang Bo, the Criminal Department Shangshu Huang Guangsheng, the left capital Yushi Zhang Yongming, the title of the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Officials Zuo Shilang Dong Fen, Dali Temple Qing Zhang Shouzhi, Zuo Tong political envoy Liu Tiqian, the bachelor Wang Daren, the Ministry of Rites Zuo Shilang Lin Haoran is also among them.
