Chapter 194: The Emperor Walks the Flower Boat
On March 8, it is advisable to travel and worship ,......
In Jinling City, the emperor looked at the few courtiers kneeling in front of him, and his heart was angry, but he still couldn't bear it.
"Are you convicted?"
The few courtiers kneeling below are all important ministers of Jiangnan Province, after the emperor came, he just let Jing Ke investigate a little, and found this ** minister, the crime committed, after the emperor read it, he was shocked, this group of people did everything in order to collect money.
"Chen Ran, a jinshi in the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, has served as the compiler of the palace ......"
"Zhang Feng ,......"
The emperor read out the names of this group of people one by one, and slowly shook his head: "Let's cut them all!" ”
"Whoa!"
When this group of courtiers was dragged down and beheaded, the emperor leaned on the soft collapse and slowly spoke: "These people are all imperial examination scholars? ”
"Your Majesty, these people are all from Jinshi!"
The emperor nodded slowly: "Back then, this imperial examination system was born for the selection of materials for the imperial court. In the more than ten years since I boarded the plane, almost all of the officials who have been convicted every year have been scholars in the imperial examination, and although the children of the family have also violated the law and discipline, the number is ......."
After saying that, all the ministers fell silent, and most of the people who could get to their positions were nobles, although they really wanted to jump out and attack the imperial examination system now, but they all endured it.
"Chicken ribs!"
The emperor shook his head, stood up and left slowly, the group of ministers looked at each other, not understanding what the emperor meant, and when they were halfway through, the emperor suddenly stopped: "This year's Enke is about to start, right?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Enke should be opened today, Chang'an is guarded by the prince, and there should be no problem with Enke this year!"
After hearing this, the emperor nodded: "The prince is here, there shouldn't be any problems!" After the emperor finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he slowly left the hall.
In the apse, the emperor washed his hands and looked at Wu Sangui: "I heard the prince say that the best scenery in this Jinling City is boating on the Qinhuai River!" Let's go, I'd like to take a look! ”
Wu Sangui, Jing Ke and the others were stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, no, this gallery on the Jinling River is, yes, yes......"
"Huh? What is it? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, that gallery on the Qinhuai River is the same place as Heping Kangfang!"
When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh? And such a thing? ”
At this time, all the green buildings in Chang'an City are in Pingkangfang, there is no such gallery, and in Chang'an City, the waterway is narrow, which is not suitable for the existence of galleries, so there is no such thing as a flower boat in Chang'an City, and the emperor has heard of it for the first time.
"Oh, I see, that rebel, as a prince, actually has these things in his head, hum!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, and the emperor glanced at the emperor, not knowing what the emperor was going to do.
"Change my clothes and change into civilian clothes! I'm going to see ......."
After Wu Sangui heard this, he immediately started to get busy, if Yu Zhiqian was present, he would definitely scold, a duplicitous guy, scolding himself for being a rebel, but he still wanted to go around.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go out on patrol in micro-service, this Jinling City is not Chang'an City......"
"With Jing Ke here, what are you afraid of?"
"Whoa!"
The emperor took Wu Sangui and slowly entered Jinling City from the small gate of the palace.
At this time, Jinling City has a prosperous scene in later generations, the original population of the Central Plains, the family experienced some wars, large-scale southward migration, Jinling City has become the first city in the south of the Yangtze River after hundreds of years of development, although it is not as large as Chang'an City, but there are hundreds of thousands of people.
"This is what Jinling City should look like!"
After the emperor walked out of the palace, he looked at the surrounding scene and nodded with satisfaction, before welcoming the arrival of the emperor, the whole city was paving the streets, and the people were gathered to welcome the emperor, and there was no smell of the city.
Now the emperor entered Jinling City in civilian clothes, without alarming too many people, the streets were bustling with pedestrians and vendors, and after the emperor saw it, he nodded with satisfaction: "Lead the way!" ”
"Whoa!"
After the emperor got into the carriage, he kept observing the surrounding shops, and when he saw some interesting shops, he would ask people to stop the car, and then go in to taste the special products or buy some interesting knick-knacks.
Not only in Jinling City, but also in Luoyang, in Dengzhou, everywhere, the emperor has paid private visits, but this is generally with concubines, but this time is different, the emperor only brought Wu Sangui by his side.
If Yu Zhiqian is on the side, he will definitely feel that the current emperor is very similar to a certain Mazi Emperor, but the two have no comparison, that goods are a sinkhole, although Yu Ye is not an emperor through the ages, but he is also a Ming Jun, as for Mazi, hehe......
About an hour and a half later, the emperor slowly came to the Qinhuai River, it was already afternoon, and the whole gallery began to move, Wu Sangui looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty ......"
"You can call me the shopkeeper outside!"
"Shopkeeper Yu, there is the Qinhuai River in front, and these flower boats that are still on the shore are flower boats that have not yet been occupied, Your Majesty ......"
"How do you know so much?"
Wu Sangui lowered his head and said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who told the old slave that before His Majesty left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told the old slave that if you arrive in Jinling City, ......."
After the emperor heard this, his old face turned red, coughed lightly, concealed his embarrassment, and scolded in his heart: "Damn rebel, you are ready for me to come here, this rebel, wait to see my jokes!" ”
However, the emperor's face did not change at all, and he slowly walked to one of the docked flower boats, wanting to experience the applause of the flower boats that the prince was thinking about.
The emperor is not a womanizer, and there are also stunning colors in the palace, but when he came out to visit the mountains and rivers this time, the emperor also wanted to experience the customs and customs of various places, yes, the emperor comforted himself like this.
Entering the flower boat, the emperor glanced at it, and saw a woman wearing a light shirt and a maid, leading the way to the inside, the emperor looked around, although the flower boat was small, but the decoration was very exquisite, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, what the prince said was really good.
"Your Majesty, it has been found out that among the entire Qinhuai River flower boats, the Oiran is the most ...... in the manager."
"Huh? Okay, take me there! ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he slowly followed Jing Ke, the flower boat girl here, although she looked good, but she couldn't get into the emperor's eyes.
The emperor was shopping for a flower boat here, but Yu Zhiqian was busy in Chang'an City.
Before dawn, Yu Zhiqian had already gotten up from his bed and started to prepare.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Yu Zhiqian had already come to the Gongyuan and began to prepare for the scientific expedition.
In the Tribute Courtyard, it has begun to change its appearance, and the original dilapidated gate has been renovated.
In addition, there have been some changes in the passage of the examination room in the entire Gongyuan.
A large blackboard was pressed in front of every ten examination rooms, but it was empty and nothing was written.
"Your Highness doesn't know if your question is ready?"
The rest of the examiners beside him looked at Yu Zhiqian with a worried face, the scientific examination was about to start, but now there are no exam papers, you must know that the exam papers must be prepared in advance, but this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no preparation at all.
"It's ready, you don't have to worry!" After speaking, he tapped the blackboard with his hand, signaling that everything was under his control.
Hearing the prince's words, although this group of people didn't know what Yu Zhiqian had prepared, they didn't dare to ask more, so they could only follow behind Yu Zhiqian.
"Can't you go out for three days after the test starts?" Yu Zhiqian remembered the rules of the scientific examination, and thought for a while, as if this time he would solve the question by himself, it might not take three days, and if he answered it quickly, he would not need a day.
"Am I here too?"
The surrounding officials looked at each other: "Your Highness, according to the rules, you are not allowed to leave the examination room as the main examiner, but Your Highness has a special status, if Your Highness wants to leave, I dare not stop you!" ”
Yu Zhiqian thought for a moment after hearing this: "Rules are rules, since this is the case, the palace will also stay here, Zhang Zhan!" ”
"The minister is here!"
"Let the East Palace prepare, the palace will be invigilated for three days, and these three days will be sent to the Tribute Academy!"
"Whoa!"
Half an hour later, at the gate of the Gongyuan, some scholars began to line up, although there was still an hour before the start of the scientific expedition, and the line was already 100 meters long.
Most of these are children of poor families, there are no carriages, and there are no relatives and friends in Chang'an City, so in order not to delay the scientific examination, they came to line up in advance.
As for the children of the noble family, they either make friends in a restaurant not far away, or they do their final revision in a carriage not far away.
"Brother Tang, do you have a question?"
Zhu Zhishan sat in the private room of the restaurant and looked at the chicken wings and chicken feet that were gnawing beside him, and when he heard Zhu Zhishan's question, he slowly shook his head: "No, the number of prince's poems is too small, I can't see anything!" ”
"Brother Tang, are you still eating chicken wings here? Chicken feet? I'd better hurry up and read the book, I hope this year's exam questions won't be too difficult! ”
Zhu Zhishan didn't have Tang Bohu's strong confidence, and shook his head: "You are a talent, I'm not, I have to read well, don't eat too much, during the scientific examination, if you have an uncomfortable stomach..."
"I know, but I always feel that the topic of this scientific examination will not be as simple as we think!"
Hearing Tang Bohu's words, Zhu Zhishan was stunned for a moment: "Why did Brother Tang say this?" ”
"I don't know, I just went to the north gate yesterday to take a look, do you know the law of free fall?"
Hearing Tang Bohu's words, Zhu Zhishan shook his head: "What kind of doctrine is this?" Never heard of it! ”
"Alas, I'm not ...... either"
Tang Bohu was talking to Zhu Zhishan here, and the candidates around the Gongyuan were also talking in a low voice.
"What kind of questions do you say this time Enke, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come up with?"
"The prince's poems that have been circulated in the world, there are too few articles, just a few sentences, I really can't guess!"
"Alas, I only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make the question more square!"
"Do you know that although there are not many poems and texts from His Royal Highness the Prince, they are just ...... things taught in Tsinghua Garden?"
"Brother Wang, do you know?"
“……”
As more and more candidates arrived, the murmur of the entire Gongyuan began to become more and more, and when the time came, the gate of the Gongyuan opened.
Yu Zhiqian walked out of the tribute courtyard with a few examiners and small officials, and a group of people immediately saluted Yu Zhiqian: "The student has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"There is no need to be polite, this palace is today, for the country, you are all talented people of the country, and you are also ...... This scientific expedition hopes that all students can ......"
Yu Zhiqian said the lines that had been prepared a long time ago, then glanced at the many students in front of him, and slowly returned to the Gongyuan.
"Admission!"
One of the officials shouted, and immediately several of them moved out some tables and placed them in front of the doors of several entrances, and then someone stood aside, ready to test all the candidates who entered the door.
The first candidate walked to the front and put the belongings he was carrying on the table, and the person standing next to the table began to check the guy's clothes, and checked them very carefully, and searched the lunch box very carefully, and only after making sure that there were no problems, did they put it in.
There are 1,000 people taking the exam, and each inspection can take two or three minutes, and there are six or seven checkpoints in one direction, and the inspection is done slowly little by little, but fortunately, there are four entrances to the entire examination room.
Yu Zhiqian came out and took a look, the way of inspection this year is very simple, that is, touch it with your hands, take a look with your eyes, and the way to cheat is also very simple, that is, to entrain, and take some things in your belongings.
Because the exam time is relatively long, so among the personal belongings, there will be quilts, cotton clothes and other things, so it is a bit cumbersome to check, Yu Zhiqian stood at the door and carefully observed the students coming and going, squinting his eyes and patrolling, always feeling that some people have problems, but they don't know where the problem is.
This kind of scientific examination entrainment of candidates, if they are caught, they will be kicked out of the examination room for several years and will not be allowed to take the exam, even if they are caught in the Gongyuan, there will be no major crime, as long as it is not a fraud by a series of officials, the accountability is not serious, so there have always been some people who are lucky and want to get by.
The candidate in front of him, after seeing Yu Zhiqian, immediately lowered his head, and then remembered something, and gave Yu Zhiqian a salute in a panic, Yu Zhiqian squinted at the guy in front of him, this guy is very strange, other students see themselves flustered, but they don't panic like him.
"What are you panicking about?"
Yu Zhiqian asked curiously, and when he heard Yu Zhiqian's words, the student was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person began to tremble slightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people, the grass people are a little excited when they see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, yes, a little excited!" ”
Yu Zhiqian looked at the guy in front of him and looked at it carefully: "Really?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Check it out!"
