At the beginning of February, the Xicheng District of the capital was shrouded in pale golden sunshine.

After Yan Chengjin got up and washed, he ran a few laps in the new courtyard and poured a cup of hot fresh goat's milk.

The chief examiner of the examination was announced, and Li Dongyang and Zhang Sheng served as the chief examiners.

For Song Jing, it's a good thing.

When Yan Chengjin took the entrance examination, the chief examiners were Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng.

At that time, he prepared another hand of information, and he had a copy in his hand: Li Dongyang's guide to the question.

In order to sort out this set of materials, he flipped through Li Dongyang's articles and poems.

"Prepare a sedan chair and go to Zeng's mansion."

He Neng folded his hands on his belly, bowed down and asked, "Young Master, don't you go to court today?" ”

"Let's go to Zeng's Mansion first, take a look at Song Jing, I don't know how he is studying, and bring all the materials that Young Master Ben used to prepare for the exam."

In Yan Chengjin's head, Song Jing's name had already emerged, and it was written at the top of the red list of the Tribute Academy.

Song Jing, as the chief worker of Liangxiang, was admitted to Huiyuan, which was of great benefit to the promotion of science.

Although Song Jing did not solve the yuan, the two yuan and the first are also good.

When I arrived at Zeng's house,

Menzi led him to the main hall, and after seeing Zeng Jian, he went to the backyard.

Song Jing was studying hard behind closed doors in the room.

"How many hours a day do you sleep?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Song Jing thought for a while and said, "Sleep for more than three hours, every day the teacher goes to the court, and the students get up." ”

"How can you sleep for three hours?" Yan Chengjin shook his head.

How can he pout, when the young master takes the imperial examination, he has to sleep for four hours a day, and if he doesn't sleep enough, he has to make up for sleep.

Song Jing only slept for three hours, and he was reprimanded by the young master.

Song Jing bowed his head in shame: "The student is sleepy." ”

When Zeng Jian heard what this son said, his heart moved slightly, and he was about to defend his protégé a few words.

Yan Chengjin said: "If you want to sleep for four hours, this official has brought you some gifts, go out and have a look." ”

When I walked outside the gate, I saw a Taiping car parked in front of the door, carrying books taller than people.

Zeng Jian pointed to the Taiping car and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Virtuous nephew, ...... this?" ”

"These are articles and poems written by Master Li, and this official relied on them to get the top prize in the first place." Yan Chengjin looked at Song Jing and said, "You have to study hard." ”

Looking at the cart of books, Song Jing bit his lip and said with some difficulty: "Students will definitely live up to the good intentions of adults." ”

Yan Chengjin nodded, got on the sedan chair and went up.

………

Li Fu,

Early in the morning, Li Dongyang went to the study after changing his clothes, ready to read for a while, and then went to the court.

At this moment, the housekeeper pushed the door in: "Master, there are many scholars from outside the mansion, saying that they admire the master's talent and want to see you." ”

Usually people come to Li Mansion to visit, but after Li Dongyang became the examiner, more people came to visit.

is nothing more than a climbing friendship, except for a few protégés, Li Dongyang is nowhere to be seen.

"No, let them all go back."

Li Dongyang picked up the book, turned a few pages, and paced around the room to watch.

Between his eyebrows, there seemed to be a faint pain, but he held back and kept silent.

Liu Shi was worried and complained: "Knowing that he is sick, he still has to promise His Majesty to be the examiner." ”

Li Dongyang sighed: "After the imperial examination case, His Majesty attached great importance to the talent ceremony, and there were not many people who trusted him. ”

Not long after,

Li Dongyang got into a sedan chair from the back door and went to the noon gate.

When they arrived at the cabinet duty, Liu Jian and Xie Qian were already sitting in front of the desk to read the performance.

Liu Jian was sitting on the official hat chair, and when he heard the sound of small footsteps behind him, he smiled and said, "Binzhi, was the door blocked again today?" ”

Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment and apologized slightly: "Foolish brother is ashamed, it's too late." ”

"Binzhi, you're welcome."

Liu Jian knew that at this time, outside the gate of the Li Mansion, there must be scholars from the Chaling Poetry School and candidates from the current subject to visit, just like the temple fair on the fifteenth day of the first month, which was extremely pious.

What's more, he will follow Li Dongyang's carriage and beg him for Mobao.

Every time there is an imperial examination, Li Dongyang's reputation in the literary world will be crowned in the capital.

He also ridiculed Li Dongyang for this.

Seeing Li Dongyang sitting down, Xie Qian stopped talking, and after a while, he came over: "Brother Bin, today, there is an exam in Liangxiang..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Li Dongyang didn't care.

Xie Qian smiled bitterly: "Early this morning, Xie Pi and Zhaofan went to Liangxiang, and the foolish brother just guessed...... Brother, don't think about it......"

Suddenly, Li Dongyang's face stiffened, and the cold coldness of his heart spread, as if someone had dug his chest open with a knife and stuffed a piece of ice into it.

His limbs were drained of his strength and he collapsed in the officer's hat chair.

Xie Qian panicked, knowing that he had an old illness, and he repeatedly begged for help, but now, he was afraid that his anger caused the old illness, and he was so frightened that he was in chaos.

Liu Gong ...... This? ”

Liu Jian dropped the sparse music: "Go and ask the imperial doctor!" ”

……

Dongnuan Pavilion,

Emperor Hongzhi was preoccupied with reviewing the recitals, and the speed was extremely fast.

Xiao Jing raised his head slightly, and saw the little eunuch outside the hall glaring at him, so he withdrew lightly.

After a while, he returned to Emperor Hongzhi lightly.

"But something happened?" Emperor Hongzhi closed the sparse music in his hand and looked sideways at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing said softly: "The slave and maid should die, it disturbed Your Majesty, just now, Lord Li fell ill in the duty room." ”

Emperor Hongzhi turned around, his eyes showing a bit of solemnity.

"Seriously?"

At this time, he was extremely concerned about Li Dongyang's body, and Li Dongyang begged twice due to illness, but he did not approve it.

The most indispensable person in the cabinet is Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang's prestige in the court is extremely high.

As long as he sees that it is Li Dongyang's criticism, he can rest assured that he will criticize Zhu.

If there is no Li Dongyang's plan, the major events in the DPRK and China will be in chaos, and he still wants to reproduce the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

"Back to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has gone to see it."

Xiao Jing paused and continued: "I heard that it was because Lord Li's stepson secretly went to Liangxiang to take the science exam, which caused Lord Li to fall......

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised: "Why is Master Li like this?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Lord Li doesn't want his nephew to have a relationship with Yan Chengjin.

Li Zhaoxian went to Hainan, life and death were uncertain, so Master Li put the heavy responsibility of the glorious lintel on Li Zhaoxian, who would have ...... It's also yellow. Xiao Jing saw Emperor Hongzhi's face and didn't dare to say more.

"Spread Yan Chengjin to see me!"

After a long time,

When Yan Chengjin came to the main hall, he had already heard about it from the little eunuch.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him with a straight gaze: "Have you heard about Master Li?" ”

"The minister guessed that Master Li was in a hurry to attack his heart, so he fainted." Yan Chengjin felt that he couldn't help Li Dongyang hide it anymore.

The corners of Emperor Hongzhi and Xiao Jing's mouths twitched.

Hemorrhoid...... Hemorrhoids rush to attack the heart? When they heard that, of course they knew what it was.

It's just that...... How can this disease still attack the heart?

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, his face returned to normal, and he wondered, "How do you know that it is this disease?" ”

Master Li never mentioned it.

"It doesn't matter how the minister knows." Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "While Lord Li is in a coma, it is better to let Imperial Doctor Liu investigate, and Your Majesty will know." ”

Master Li is a model teacher, and there are countless followers in the capital, and he also has a very high prestige in the government and the opposition, and is admired by hundreds of officials.

Because of his face, when he talks about this matter, he must be blushing and difficult to speak.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, feeling that what Yan Chengjin said was reasonable, so he ordered Xiao Jing to quickly pass on Liu Wentai.

About a quarter of an hour later,

Xiao Jing hurried back and said with a strange face: "Your Majesty, Lord Yan is a good ...... It is true......"

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised, and turned his head to look at Yan Chengjin: "Will you cure this disease?" ”
