West Garden, Wanshou Palace.

Cabinet Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Lu Ben looked at the nose and nose, and the nose looked at the heart.

Xu Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and others all lowered their heads, and only Li Mo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, glared at Qian Yuan angrily.

"Your Majesty's royal pen hand-picked, how can you let the new branch jinshi be on the side?" Li Mo said righteously, "What kind of system is this, don't retreat!" ”

Qian Yuan's face was aggrieved, it wasn't that I was coming, and it wasn't that I could leave if I wanted to!

"Your Majesty, Qian Yuan has fought at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard and the Imperial Palace, and Sven has swept the floor......"

"Your Majesty, that Zou Yinglong beat the Southeast Confucian, and he spoke badly behind his back, not to say that the student was appointed by His Majesty as the champion......"

"Alright." Emperor Jiajing interrupted impatiently, he is a little annoyed with Li Mo now, this guy was too rigid back then, and now he hasn't changed at all.

"But in the middle, can there be money in the first twenty volumes?"

Yan Song smiled and groaned: "Your Majesty, Qian Yuan is ranked nineteenth. ”

Emperor Jiajing only read three exam papers, how could Yan Song let Qian Yuan's exam papers fall outside the twenty places, so he and Li Mo had a fight in the Wenhua Palace.

"Nonsense!" Unexpectedly reprimanded, Emperor Jiajing said coldly: "Xinke Jinshi, speculation about the imperial court's tax plan, it would be good if he didn't reform the reputation of Jinshi, and he could still rank in the top 20!" ”

Almost everyone turned their heads to look at Qian Yuan, who was expressionless, and was they called to scold?

The problem is that the palace examination is a policy question, and the question is about the imperial court's tax plan, and these people have all read the examination papers.

The three members of the cabinet didn't dare to say anything, and Li Mo had nothing to say, but Wu Shan, who had always been impartial and outspoken, came out and said: "Your Majesty, although his words are simple, but his heart is public, this move may not be impossible. ”

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Qian Yuan with a smile, and the latter learned Xu Jie's eyes to look at the nose and the nose to look at the heart.

Qian Yuan's examination paper did not talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the compilation method, nor did he talk about the various impacts of the compilation method on the imperial court, the war situation in the southeast, and the people, but based on the compilation method, it was proposed that except for part of the grain collection, the rest of the taxes and servants were all folded into color, that is, they were converted into colored silver, which was the best effect in Zhang Juzheng's later reform.

Of course, Qian Yuan did not put forward the most important one of Zhang Juzheng's reforms...... Clear the land and unify the service.

Emperor Jiajing didn't scold Qian Yuan, but bluntly said that he was too idealistic, and it took great courage and courage to do this kind of thing.

Whether it is Yan Song or Xu Jie, they will not and dare not do this kind of thing, the thought in Emperor Jiajing's heart is getting stronger and stronger, Qian Yuan is too young, and he can't use it.

After cultivating the Tao for more than ten years and eating Dan for more than ten years, the emotional side of Emperor Jiajing's heart made him look forward to attaining the Tao and living forever, but the rational part made him look for good ministers for the latecomers.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the examination papers sent up, and the first place was Shaoxing Huiji Tao Dalin, the second place was Jiangxi Fuliang Jinda, and the third place was Shaoxing Shanyin Zhuda.

Flipping back, Xu Wei ranked sixth, Sun Yan ranked eleventh, Emperor Jiajing snorted, generally speaking, the top three in the exam will be placed in the front, and he personally checked Xu Wei's exam papers, which should also be placed in the front.

But the Huiyuan who will take the test is from Shaoxing, and the second place is also from Shaoxing, and the sensitivity of the bureaucracy makes them put Xu Wei outside the top three.

Seeing Emperor Jiajing lift the pen, Qian Yuan, the "fortunate minister", grabbed the ink before Huang Jin, looked at it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, ten years later, the whole dynasty spoke Wu language.

"Alright, you go out first." Emperor Jiajing did not raise his head.

Qian Yuan reluctantly put down the ink, said goodbye, and Huang Jin followed behind and sent it out in person, this scene made Yan Song and Xu Jie's pupils shrink, and this kind of treatment was difficult for them to enjoy.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing is really not the kind of emperor who is mean and unkind, although he often turns his face and doesn't recognize people.

Huang Jin followed him from Xingwangfu to Beijing, waited for decades, always had to drop some incense, Emperor Jiajing was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty with the greatest supervision of eunuch power, but it was also inevitable personal feelings.

"Qian ......" Huang Jin spit out his surname, hesitating how to call him, Qian Yuan is now a jinshi, but he has not yet obtained an official position.

"Father-in-law Huang still calls me to show it." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Then let Huang Qianhu come to the restaurant to find me, don't worry." ”

Huang Jin hesitated but nodded, his younger brother Huang Rust is now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but it is just a false position, he himself does not dare to act recklessly as an internal minister, and his younger brother is even more cautious.

A few days ago, Huang Rust took a fancy to Qian Yuan's honeycomb coal stove business, and dragged Huang Jin to say, Qian Yuan naturally agreed.

Speaking of Qian Yuan, he is very emotional, although there is no patent law in this era, but the merchants are all abiding by the rules, and those who want to do this business are looking for the door, although there are also direct imitations without paying attention to the rules, but at least it has been two months now, and the honeycomb coal stove has not been popularized in Beijing.

Out of the West Garden, Qian Yuan went straight home, and as soon as he entered the Suiyuan, he was stunned, and more than a dozen guys were waiting in the main hall.

"Zhancai, are you okay?" Chen Younian said in a deep voice: "The eldest son of the Talent Pavilion has been here. ”

After the end of the test, Qian Yuan also found out clearly, Zou Yinglong climbed Xu Mansion along Xu Fan's line, it seems that he came to give Zou Yinglong a platform, Qian Yuan asked casually: "Then what?" ”

More than a dozen eyes turned to Xu Wei at the same time, this guy was triumphant, looking at this look is to invite credit!

Qian Yuan felt a little headache, and after a few days, the matter was stabbed...... Although both he and Xiao Qi were unhappy with that guy, they were Xiao Qi's father after all.

Think about it, Xu Wei's mouth is usually on par with Qian Yuan, and Xu Fan may have vomited three liters of blood.

"I only came back at this time...... Sun Ling asked with a smile: "Zhancai, is the list out?" ”

"It's out." Qian Yuan looked at Xu Wei with a straight face, "If you ask you to help write the first green words, can you do your best?" ”

"I was seen through at a glance that it was plagiarism, well, I was scolded...... will try to be the second-to-last, the palace test is still the second-to-last, what do you say?! ”

This sentence is a bit hidden, and others don't know that Xu Wei once met Emperor Jiajing in the restaurant.

Xu Wei was speechless for a while, and Zhou Shi on the side said quietly: "It may be...... Too well written? ”

"Hahaha......"

"Haha...... Well said, well said! ”

Zhou Shi once went to the food garden in Hangzhou and met Qian Yuan, and came to the capital to live in Suiyuan, usually not much to say, but once exported, it was either thought-provoking or laughing.

"Well said?" Qian Yuan's nose was crooked, and he stared at Xian Xuan, who was the most energetic, "Don't be complacent, you are also a top three fellow jinshi." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall quieted down, Xian Yan didn't care about the top three jinshi, anyway, he would try to be the last one, "What about the first class?" Zhancai, who is the champion? ”

Qian Yuan sat down slowly, "I didn't eat dinner tonight...... Your Majesty actually said that I didn't eat enough at the last banquet, so I just went back to eat on an empty stomach this time...... Hey, it's all coming in and it's half ringing, and there's not even a cup of hot tea? ”

Chen Younian sneered: "It's nothing more than Brother Yu Chen, fighting each other." ”

Tao Dalin is the Huiyuan, and Zhu Dashou will try second, and the two of them are the most powerful contenders.

Wu Dui added: "It is also possible for Brother Wen, and Brother Wenzhong, Beizhili Xie Yuan. ”

Xu Wei had an indifferent expression on his face, but Sun Yan was a little nervous.

"Brother Wen is a second-class heir." Qian Yuan smiled apologetically, "This year's list will definitely be passed on to future generations, and Shaoxing's literary atmosphere will dominate the world." ”

Xu Wei, who didn't care just now...... I can't even hear the sound of breathing, Qian Yuan's words are clear enough, if it weren't for the fact that the first three of them were all from Shaoxing, how could they be called overwhelming the world?

Everyone's eyes hovered back and forth on Tao Dalin, Zhu Dashou, and Xu Wei, who is the champion, who is the leader, and who is Tanhua?

But Qian Yuan stretched his waist, covered his mouth and yawned, "I'm sleepy...... The little brother went to sleep first, you ...... Why don't you make a bet? ”
