Chapter 150: You Pretend to Be Sick

Although the rankings have been announced on the yellow list, the palace test is not only to announce the rankings, but also to declare Tianwei to the new jinshi, and this time to meet Tianyan is also completely different from Zhang Yue's previous experiences. The two hundred and fifty jinshi were called one by one, each of the first class was called three times, and each of the second and third class was called once, and everyone knelt under the dan qi in order.

It's spring now, and the sky is beautiful and beautiful, but the long roll call lasts for a long time. There are always some old and frail among the new recruits, so there are not a few who are pale from time to time, and more people are gritting their teeth and stiffening. Next, the officials of the Fengtian Hall led the new jinshi to kneel three times and knock nine times, and the emperor in the palace encouraged him, and even though Xuan Sanjia entered the hall first, the rest of the people waited and waited.

This Golden Palace is a great thing for a new jinshi, but it is not normal for the hundred officials, so no one has paid too much attention to it. It wasn't until Zhu Di suddenly changed his name to Li Qi after seeing the top three of them, which caused a slight commotion. And there was no need to see each other again after the first class, but Zhu Di actually met with several second-class jinshi again, which made the officials a little confused, and only someone like Yang Rong who knew the inside story knew it in his heart.

Fortunately, although the Golden Temple Transmission on this day was slightly longer than in previous years, it still ended smoothly.

On the day of the rumor, the Jinshi all crossed the horse from the street into the palace, and naturally enjoyed the scenery of thousands of empty alleys. The next day was to give the new branch jinshi "grace banquet" in the military governor's mansion, although the honor is incomparable, but it is nothing more than an official article.

One by one, the new science and technology scholars were staggered on their faces, and secretly they all tasted lightly, and no one dared to get drunk, and as for the seemingly exquisite dishes, they only moved their chopsticks slightly. Everyone originally paid attention to Xia Ji, who was fifteen years old and went to high school to explore flowers, but the emperor changed his name when the palace gave the champion, and some people said that Li Qi, the champion of the current department, was the younger brother of Ma Duo, the champion of Yongle for ten years, and the focus naturally returned to the champion.

However. The activities of the new science and technology are still not over. Next is to go to Honglu Temple to learn etiquette for three days, the emperor gave the champion a crown and a silver belt, and gave five ingots of Jinshi treasure banknotes, and the champion rate of the new branch of Jinshi thanksgiving, and went to the Confucian Temple to release the food ceremony. All kinds of activities tossed for more than half a month, and finally the Ministry of Industry inscribed a monument for today's science and technology. Naturally, as the chief examiner of Wuxu Branch, Yang Rong's name was also recorded by Leshi. As far as Wenchen is concerned, this can be said to be the greatest honor of his life.

Once he is a teacher, all the scholars are protégés, and the status of teachers and students is even more determined. In the future, whether he is promoted or demoted, or he is a leader, there will always be someone among the protégés to take care of him. A teacher for one day and a father for life, in terms of officialdom, what could be more rare than this?

At the end of the ceremony, it is the beginning of the election of officials. Although Hanlin Shu Jishi has only been picked once. However, Zhu Di once again ordered the election of the big hall, so except for the first three people who were awarded the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy according to the routine, the rest of the people had to participate in the election of the hall ten days later. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Yue, who had long been tossed physically and mentally exhausted, naturally breathed a sigh of relief. As if it was because the three joys at home were still not enough, Zhang Yue, who was preparing for the wedding, was promoted by the deputy of Jin Xiangwei to the vanguard of the government army. This naturally caused the Zhang family to be jubilant, and the clouds that had been degraded because of Zhang Xin completely dispersed.

Since there is no need to return to Jin Xiangwei to take office, Gu, who is preparing to choose an auspicious day, thinks of Zhang Chao as a cousin, although he does not have to mourn for his married aunt. But Mrs. Wang has just finished serving Zhang Guifei's funeral and is still pregnant, Zhang Fu's great achievements are not yet in September and she has specially announced that she will go to the court, if she is in a hurry to get married at this time, she is a little disrespectful to Zhang Guifei, who has not been dead for a long time. So, she personally went to the door to discuss with Mrs. Xiangchengbo, and moved the date of Nacai to June.

That night, the father and son of the Zhang family talked for more than an hour. Before, the two of them had to review their homework first, and then they had to deal with all kinds of etiquette in the middle and later places. Even the preparation of Jinshi's official uniforms and regular clothes also consumed a huge amount of energy, and there was almost no spare time to discuss any major matters. At this time, when Zhang Zhuo heard Zhang Yue relay Zhang Fu's words and Yang Shiqi's reminder, when he learned that Zhang Yue had obtained a title deed for a large grange from the Gu family, he had to admit that his father seemed to be unable to help his son.

The only thing he thought of was one thing, one person, so he thought about it for a long time before he spoke: "When you first arrived in Nanjing. He was once secretly taken care of by the commander of Jinyi Wei Yuan. Do you remember? ”

Zhang Yue's heart jumped when he heard this, and he thought to himself why he didn't remember. What he is most worried about these days is this person, that is, the unsolved case. If he didn't feel that Zhang Zhuo had the right time, he would definitely explain it to him, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't track down this kind of thing alone, if it wasn't for the fact that he felt that the environment of Beijing City was complicated, forbearance was the best policy...... I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it anymore.

"Dad, of course I do." Seeing Zhang Zhuo's eyes staring at him, he simply confessed, "When you first arrived in Nanjing, I went to your house one day to look for you, but Pearl reminded me, and I found a post in the drawer next to Baibaoge. The signature of the post is Mu Ning, and I remember that it is Mu Qianhu of the Henan Health Center. Since there aren't many surnames, I paid attention, but I never asked you. ”

"You are just thoughtful, at that time Pearl told me, I was still preparing you to ask, who knew that you have endured until now." Zhang Zhuo casually closed the fan in his hand, stared at Zhang Yue's face for a while, and then sighed, "When I opened the water, you asked me afterwards, at that time, I told you that I had nothing to do with Jinyiwei, presumably you were worried about this child." Jin Yiwei is in charge of the criminal detective, and naturally has nothing to do with our Zhang family, and it is barely related to Jin Yiwei, that is, me. ”

Zhang Yue couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he was already a little prepared in his heart, Zhang Zhuo admitted frankly at this moment that he still couldn't help but feel a certain shock, and he deduced countless intricate conspiracy judgments in his heart. If it weren't for the deep study of the Ming official system now, he even doubted that his father would be a secret agent of the Jinyi Guard in the shadows, such as what kind of secret guards he was in charge of.

"To be more precise, I just have some friendship with Commander Yuan, and the Jinyi Guard officers of the Henan Guard Station were all brought out by him, so including that Mu Qianhu, people up and down can help at critical moments." Speaking of this, Zhang Zhuo put away the joke on his face, and said, "Jinyi Wei is notorious to hundreds of officials. So as a last resort, I won't ask Commander Yuan for help, and he won't have anything to do with you. Telling you about this is to dispel your suspicions, and secondly, to let you know in your heart, not to make you do anything crooked. ”

What can I do with my brain? What do I dare to do with my crooked brains? Zhang Yue smiled wryly, thinking that the commander of the Jinyi Guard looked majestic, but the once invincible discipline had fallen, not to mention Yuan Fang, who had no roots and no foundation? If not surprising. I'm afraid that the establishment of the East Factory will be within a few years, if he wants to do anything with the help of Jinyiwei, it will really be fatal.

"Although your temperament is calm, but you are my son, there are some things that outsiders can't see, but I, who is a father, understand. There are too many rules in the Hanlin Academy, but I'm afraid that most of you are unwilling. You are in a family, and you have not experienced many hardships. Even if others praise it, but the small wind and rain are not as good as the big wind and waves, it is better to take advantage of the appearance to go outside to hone and hone, so it is good. Since your lobby uncle and Yang Ge Lao also have this meaning, the underground hall will be selected in three days...... You just pretend to be sick and don't go. ”

At the beginning, those words Zhang Yue sounded very reasonable. After all, his father knows his own affairs, although he looks calm and calm outside, but that is just the appearance, he is not a person who likes to walk on thin ice as if facing the abyss. Prudence is just because there is no way. It is the nature of this young man to raise words and scold Fang Xuan, even if he adds the age of his previous life, he is still a young man, how can he be willing to stay in a place like the capital that is really boring?

However, when he heard the word "feigning illness", he was stunned for a moment, and even thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

"The Hanlin Yuan Shu Jishi is a noble official, and after three years of evaluation, he is edited and revised. These three years were spent studying current affairs in the pavilion. I'll try my best to take the test in three days, and I won't be able to do it if I don't succeed. As for you...... Instead of deliberately failing the exam to make people laugh, it is better to pretend to be sick. ”

"Deliberately failed the exam...... Dad, don't you think that I can't pass the exam at all? ”

"If Master Du's students can't even pass the hall selection, won't you lose your teacher's face? Lord Du's articles in the past are brilliant, I don't know how many people have praised you these days, and they all say that you are a famous teacher and a high apprentice. If you really can't pass the exam, then you don't have to go. Anyway, you're still in the top two rankings! ”

Zhang Zuo saw that Zhang Yue's face was full of depression. He gave two more tips for pretending to be sick, and then got up and walked out of the room. Standing in the courtyard for a while, I watched the sky full of stars. He walked back to the room, and saw Sun, who had always been pleasant-looking, sitting there with a straight face, and several girls standing beside him like cats afraid of mice, and he couldn't help but wonder a little.

"You all get out!"

Sun slapped the table in annoyance, and blasted out along with the pearl that was usually the most heartfelt, and when the curtain fell, she said in annoyance: "Tell me what is going on, the good old lady actually told me that she was going to give Lingxi to Yue'er as a girl!" Lingxi is already nineteen years old, and if she wants to stay in another house, she will either let it out with a good family, or with her own little girl, and the old lady will simply say let Yue'er take the house, what kind of girl! She is like half a master at home, if she follows Yue'er, wouldn't it be nondescript, and we won't feel good. ”

Listening to his wife's repeated complaints, Zhang Zhuo was also very surprised. The Gu family is inseparable from Lingxi, which is almost known to everyone in the family, why did he suddenly mention this at this time? You must know that in the early years, there were many people who asked for relatives outside, but the Gu family refused all of them, and Lingxi has always been iron-hearted. Now if you pass over three sons and two elderly grandchildren, but give it to Zhang Yue, what will others think?
