Chapter 8: The Palace Examination

The first day of the third month of the thirteenth year of Yongle.

Zhu Laosi, who has never liked to wear dragon robes, but likes casual clothes, also rarely put on a dragon robe, and took the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the grandson Zhu Zhanji to the Fengtian Palace.

The Fengtian Hall was already full of three hundred and fifty-one tables, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones had been laid on them, and the position of Yang Shaofeng and Young Master Yang was the table at the front and closest to the throne.

After some etiquette of His Majesty's meeting, Zhu Laosi first smiled and ordered Young Master Yang to wait for three hundred and fifty-one people to sit down, and then said directly: "I don't like any red tape, and this palace test is the same."

The topic is very simple, in February of the thirteenth year of Yongle, Renshen, and the king of Ning, Alutai, sent an envoy to Gongma, and asked all the students to try to say it. ”

As soon as Zhu Laosi's words fell, the many people present had no reaction, but those court bigwigs glanced at Young Master Yang deeply.

This master, isn't it the blood and bones that are left out today?

The officials with lower positions may not know, but the bigwigs who have really mixed into the high positions know very well that the original palace exam topic was to discuss how to reproduce the prosperity of the three generations, but now it has suddenly become Arutai Gongma, the king of Hening?

If this matter has nothing to do with Master Yang's examination article, who believes it?

Young Master Yang didn't care and began to answer with a pen.

Tatar Taishi Arutai is definitely a ruthless person, Zhu Laosi took people to the grassland to smash the field five times before and after, except for the second personal expedition was to smash the Wara Amu Division, the remaining four times were smashed at his house.

But people Arutai can endure it.

After being scolded by Zhu Laosi for the first time, Arutai, who couldn't live a long time, once asked for attachment, for fear of being annexed by the Waratbu.

The rest of the story is hilarious.

After being scolded by Zhu Laosi, Arutai became a dog, and all kinds of obedient and miserable sales were cute to please the Ming Dynasty, but Warama Mubu was angry.

Tatar Bichi! Arutai junior! Obviously I came first!

The furious Wara made a fatal mistake at this time - he didn't go to Arutai, but showed his muscles to Zhu Laosi, and he had the feeling that if you don't give me candy, I will beat you.

First, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is to chase Mengyuan from the north, and secondly, it is also for military training.

Later, after Warat was taught by Zhu Laosi to be a man, the overjoyed Arutai directly took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops to scare Warat, so that the Tatar Department grew stronger again.

This time, Arutai sent a tribute horse, that is, the Tatar Ministry came to pay tribute to the boss to show loyalty after picking up a big bargain.

But what does Alu Taibiao's loyalty have to do with Young Master Yang? The horse he paid tribute to was for Zhu Laosi, and Young Master Yang didn't receive a penny from him.

Slap him!

If I don't dig a pit this time and put Arutai into it, I, Young Master Yang, will follow Zhu Laosi in the future!

……

The process of the palace examination may be a moment of effort in film and television dramas, but in reality, the process of the palace examination is absolutely troublesome.

The first is the answer sheet.

But it takes a lot of time to read more than 300 answer sheets one by one, not to mention the level of judging them, you can't expect Zhu Laosi to finish the palace examination process in Fengtian Palace, right?

So when the candidates finish answering the test papers, they can actually get out of the palace, Zhu Laosi will take the cabinet ministers to read the papers together, and then pick out the top three most awesome, give the top three Jinshi backgrounds, and the rest will be ranked according to the quality of the articles, and give the same Jinshi background comfort and comfort.

In short, the temple test is not something that can be solved in a day or two.

After answering the paper, Yang Shaofeng, who got out of the palace, pondered what he should do.

If nothing else, even if his answer level is a little worse, he will be the champion of the palace test in Yongle for thirteen years, and then get the extremely rare achievement of the six champions known as "three yuan in the world, six in the world".

And then what?

According to the normal process, after the results of the palace examination are announced, the best batch will enter the Hanlin Academy, and the next is the six subjects, and then the Yushitai, until the most important six departments, that is, miscellaneous.

The problem is that that damn poetry will pit a lot of court bigwigs.

That's right, it's just a lot of court bigwigs.

At that time, Young Master Yang, who was just thinking about being happy and scolding people, or was busy hugging Zhu Lao's four thighs, obviously underestimated the influence of his own Huiyuan, and forgot that he was almost an ironclad candidate for the top six heads, and his words and deeds would have a great impact.

The consequences of firing in public are obvious, all kinds of rumors such as no one in sight, talent but no virtue, virtue is not worthy, grandstanding and the like are flying all over the sky, I can't wait to black Master Yang from beginning to end, it is best to hack him to death, so black that it stinks and rots!

In this way, Young Master Yang's reputation in the Confucian forest is completely stinky, and there are signs of overshadowing Ji Gang.

Obviously, the source of this demonic wind was some of the juzi and Guozi prisoners who were scolded by Young Master Yang that day.

The other is the obvious touting.

Perhaps there are too many students in the late stage of uncomfortable syndrome who are not scolded among the readers, and some of the students who were scolded instead stood on the side of Young Master Yang, thinking that Young Master Yang understood the essence of Confucianism and was a real model for scholars.

Coupled with the promotion of a certain person who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, the two demonic winds that can beat people's brains into dog brains are likely to intensify, and gradually began to spread from the middle of Shilin to the court and even the people.

Except for a very small number of bigwigs who can stand on the dry shore, many civil and military ministers perfectly interpret what it means to sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven - if you don't recruit anyone and provoke anyone, the big hat of accepting gifts and sheltering merchants to evade taxes will be buckled on their heads.

In this way, Young Master Yang first perfectly isolated himself from Shilin, and then offended all the superiors, colleagues, and even subordinates in advance.

This is still a fart official, the boss's small shoes plus the rejection of colleagues, the resistance of subordinates, being an official?

When Yang Shaofeng, who was very unhappy in his heart, returned to the courtyard of Zuixianlou, he found that a group of warblers and swallows were surrounded far in front of the courtyard, and the smell of fat powder was eager to smoke the entire street, leaving only one road to the courtyard.

It wasn't until Young Master Yang approached that he found that there was a vacant space in front of the courtyard gate, and there was a figure of a cloth cloth and a wooden hairpin standing in the middle.

After looking up and down, Young Master Yang spoke: "The girl is in front of my door, but is there something?" ”

The woman in front of her was twenty or eight years old, wearing a plain skirt and thin makeup, and her eyes were looking forward to life, just this look was a little stronger than some small flowers in the later generations, but the words that came out made Young Master Yang feel that there were 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart.
