Chapter 244: Worried

As he spoke, the time was hissing little by little, and soon it was noon. The examination room also continued to come like water.

As the emperor expected, with the people from the Forest Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the Shuntianfu School and Politics in charge, plus the Son of Heaven himself as the chief examiner, the exam went on normally.

After the emperor and Empress Chen played a few more games of Huang Jin and Sun Dan's game in Beiya Prison, they finally got tired of it and messed up the chessboard under their hands: "Okay." Sun Dan's chess is too laborious, and he will ponder with the queen in the future, but he doesn't know what the situation is in the examination room now, and Sun Dan doesn't know if he has finished answering the paper? In his degree, it should have been done long ago. ”

The emperor showed a smile on his face: "Although Sun Qing is young and old, he is a young man like Tonglian after all, and he is also anxious. It's done quickly, and the rest of the hours are not easy to fight. ”

The queen also laughed: "Under the shoes, it seems that this talented person is not a good thing, if you change to a concubine, the thought of having to sit in the examination room for a whole day with nothing to do will be very annoying." If Sun Dan knew this, it would be better to answer the question slowly. She said. While stretching out Bai Zhe's slender fingers to clean up the scattered chess pieces on the table.

As he was talking, Bi Yun came in again: "Long live the lord, there is news from the examination room again." ”

Emperor: "Speak." "The so-called news over there in the examination room is actually Sun Dan's news. Sun Dan is a key task for the emperor's future new policy. The emperor eagerly hoped that Sun Dan would be successful. Raise people, so that he can be appointed to the local magistrate for two years, and see how effective the new tax law is. But if Sun Dan can't even lift people, everything will be empty talk. Bi Yun knew the emperor's thoughts, and he was also a little proud of his friend Sun Dan: "If you go back to long live." Sun Dan seems to have stopped writing. ”

"What like, did he finish the paper? Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Empress Chen couldn't bear it anymore. She asked with some displeasure: "Finished is finished, unfinished is not finished, what does it seem?" ”

Bi Yun was also not sure: "Back to Your Majesty and Niangniang, according to the system, my subordinates will not be able to enter the examination house, so naturally I don't know if Sun Dan has finished the question." Maybe it's done, maybe it's a bad idea, Carvin. ”

The queen was a little confused in her heart: "That" What is Sun Dan doing now? ”

Bi Yun also felt funny: "Sun Dan seems to be meditating now. ”

"What", meditate! Empress Chen screamed.

The emperor also glanced at Bi Yun with some confusion.

Bi Yun hurriedly said: "It's meditating, it's a golden net sitting, and the people under the ministers can see it clearly." Sun Dan didn't write any more, so he had one foot on top and one foot on the bottom, forming a golden net seat to refine qi in the house. ”

Bi Yun paused: "As for whether he finished the topic, the minister doesn't know." ”

Empress Chen's face changed: "What is this Sun Dan doing, it's really worrying." Probably afraid that the emperor would see his true thoughts, the queen added: "Your Majesty will still have a place to use him in the future, if you can't lift people, how can it be good?" This Sun Dan, why is it so unreassuring. ”

Emperor: "This Sun Dan is a wonderful person. When a big event came, he was able to calm down. Well, Lian is waiting for him here. It seems that this township test is like this. He pointed to the big case: "Bi Yun, take two elixirs." ”

Hearing that the emperor was going to take light medicine, anger flashed behind Chen.

The emperor has been taking light medicine for a long time, and his health is getting worse day by day, and his personality has gradually become irritable. I also don't care more and more about things between men and women. During this period, after snubbing Concubine Zhang because of the fraud case, the emperor often came to Empress Chen. But after coming to Kunning Palace, he only meditated and refined qi. didn't do that kind of thing, which made Chen Houbai happy.

Strange to say, it is said that this kind of thing is a big manic and hot thing, and ordinary people have an aphrodisiac effect after taking it. But the emperor didn't know what method he had learned from Wang Li to dissolve medicinal properties. but the more pure heart and few desires arise.

Empress Chen's doubts are understandable, if Sun Dan is here, he probably knows some clues. In fact, in real history, Emperor Jiajing looked very lightly on the affairs of men and women because of his long-term practice of Taoism. Because of this, Jiajing's heirs have always been very thin, and they have reigned for more than 40 years. There were only one children, and in the end, only one son survived. The only surviving son was King Yu, who later became Emperor Longqing of Ming Muzong.

Although he also made a ridiculous thing about using the menstrual blood combination of a virgin, and even made a murder by the palace maids who couldn't bear it, if he was, he really couldn't talk about it.

As for the later generations saying that Jiajing is lewd and lustful, it is just a slander against him by the Qing people.

The view of the literati of the Qing Dynasty was very strange, almost every Ming Dynasty must be good: everything in the Ming Dynasty was bad, and all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were absurd.

This is also a typical manifestation of the butt deciding the head.

Seeing that Empress Chen was about to do something, Bi Yun quietly handed over a look to the queen, signaling her to be patient. Only then did he walk to the front of the desk, open the drawer, take out two blood-red pills and walk over to the emperor.

Fortunately, although Empress Chen's personality is explosive, she is not stupid and forcibly holds back the anger in her heart.

The emperor took the pill and swallowed it himself. Then he handed the other one to Bi Yun: "Bi Yun." I wronged you some time ago. I don't have to endure in my heart, and I have the heart to compensate you. I've heard that the prison in Beiya is very humid, and you're getting old. I got rheumatism carefully. This pill is a pure yang tonic, and after taking it, it will be very good for you. ”

Bi Yun knew the power of this elixir, but the emperor gave it, but he didn't dare to refuse, as long as he took the elixir in his mouth, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you for the elixir." ”

"Shall you get out? The medicinal properties of the elixir are very strong, and as soon as the net enters the abdomen, the medicinal power rushes to the brain. The emperor, the emperor only felt that his body was stunned and seemed to be about to rise into the air, "Gongzhong waved the year!" "Lian listened to Hui Aoci's meditation and refining qi in the dance field, and I felt something, and I also had the heart to follow suit. Cultivating a thing is sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Daily life, walking, sitting and lying are everywhere is a road. The medicinal properties of this pill should be resolved. It is estimated that it will take half a day. Stand down, and don't come in and disturb the union unless you are called. ”

After speaking, the emperor took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and after a long time, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

There was a strange scent in that breath. made Bi Yun's head rise when he heard it, and flashed imperceptibly.

Bi Yun and Empress Chen were very helpless, so they had to retreat lightly.

Out of the main hall, Bi Yun hurriedly spit out the elixir in his mouth into his handkerchief.

Empress Chen's beautiful eyes rolled: "Father-in-law Bi, why did you spit out the elixir that Your Majesty gave you?" ”

Bi Yun smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, Your Majesty's Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill is too strong, although it can become an immortal after taking it, it also needs to have a good pill refining to wield its effect." The old minister's body is broken. How to withstand it. It's like ordinary people make a fire to cook, and use a blowtorch to blow the fire, although the stove fire is more prosperous. But if you use too much force, you blow it down violently. I'm afraid that the fire in the stove will be blown out. ”

Chen Hou smiled: "Father-in-law Bi is eloquent. She is also a straightforward person, and she does not shy away from it: "What elixir, in fact, you and I both know that it is a three-part poison, and this thing is not edible." ”

Bi Yun didn't dare to talk.

Empress Chen suddenly sighed: "Sun Dan doesn't know if he has finished the paper, it's really worrying!" ”

Bi Yun: "Don't worry about Niangniang, Sun Dan is a famous person in the world." ”

"Maybe I'm too worried, but. The great celebrities have quirks, and it is difficult to say that they are stunned. ”

"I have no choice but to wait."

"Then wait, Banzai doesn't know when I'll wake up anyway."

There is still news coming in, and the news that comes without exception is that Sun Dan is meditating, and this sitting is an afternoon.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Empress Chen's heart became more and more anxious.

"Rewinded." Bi Yun walked over.

"Ah, have you finished the exam?" Empress Chen was taken aback and asked anxiously, "What's going on over there with Sun Dan?" Bi Yun was silent for a moment: "Sun Dan finally finished meditating, got up and left." ”

"Is he done?" Empress Chen finally paused in a hurry: "This Sun Dan is so proud of his talents, it's really worrying!" ”

Bi Yun: "The minister doesn't know, maybe it's done, maybe it's not done." ”

Empress Chen muttered: "What if he doesn't finish the question and can't get the lift, isn't this a disappointment to the Holy Grace?" ”

Bi Yun was also worried in his heart: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, the minister will go back to Your Majesty." ”

Just as she was about to leave, a female official in the palace walked up to the queen and said with an annoyed face: "Niangniang, Concubine Zhang" probably saw Bi Yun here, and she immediately stopped. It seems, this one. The female official was the empress's confidant.

"What's wrong with Concubine Zhang?" Empress Chen was greatly annoyed and said, "Father-in-law Bi is his own person, so he can say whatever he wants. ”

Bi Yun glanced at Empress Chen deeply. It quickly returned to a wooden appearance.

The female official said angrily: "Niangniang, that Concubine Zhang heard that Sun Dan stayed in the examination room and didn't write for an afternoon, so she asked Niangniang how big the statue of the rosewood Zhang Sanfeng real person was." also said that Sun Dan was a madman who was famous, and he was really on the stage, but he was blind.

"Fox Zhang is really hateful!" Empress Chen looked hateful, and then said coldly: "If Sun Dan is hit this time, it's okay to say, if he can't win, the palace must give him a good look." ”

The make-up examination of the Shuntianfu Township Examination was finally over, after all, it was a big examination for the Son of Heaven to take the exam, and the officials of the Gongyuan did not dare to delay, and immediately collected the papers, and more than 500 people started to transcribe them at the same time.

According to the rules, all candidates' papers must be transcribed by someone in a neat pavilion style, and their names should be pasted and handed over to the examiner for marking. Because cinnabar was used when transcribing, all of them, these scrolls are also called vermilion rolls.

There are only more than 3,000 candidates in this exam, and more than 500 transcriptions are done at the same time, and each person has six papers. Calculated at 2,000 words per volume. Each person had to transcribe tens of thousands of words.

Because of the urgency of time, everyone did not dare to slack off, and stayed up all night to finally get it done.

The rest is simple, so many deputy examiners. In addition, they are all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy who have university knowledge and the masters of the yamen of various ministries, and one glance and ten lines are the basic skills of readers, and it only takes half a day to separate the examination papers that need to be eliminated.

Then it's time to set the ranking.

If all goes well, you can get a ranking within a day.

This exam looked rough from the beginning to the end, but it was also unacceptable, and the emperor stared at it with two eyes, and was also anxious to give an explanation to the scholars of Shuntianfu. Everyone said no, they had to fight hard.

As for Li Xiaodan, he had a cold.

Speaking of which, he has been practicing boxing with Feng Zhen every day for the past year, and his body has become stronger and stronger. Last time, he was even able to defeat two powerful officials in the Gongyuan by himself.

A good body may not lead to a long life. But it can make people enjoy life better.

Sun Dan is also a good thing now. Rich, with a wide range of people in the capital, and the emperor's favor, now he has to make a name for himself, and his future is bright. He used to be a poor person, but now he wants to live a good life together.

Because of this, he has to exercise for at least half an hour every day.

After practicing boxing for such a long time, Sun Dan's food is getting bigger and bigger, and his spirit is getting better and better. If there is a change between one and one, he will have this little feeling since he started exercising his body, for many years, he has never had any illness at all.

However, he was so bored in the exam room today that he couldn't find anything to do after writing the papers. I simply found a qigong article that I had downloaded from my database and was ready to try it.

After such a long time in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Dan can be regarded as having seen the demeanor of martial arts masters in this era. also knows that those amazing martial arts are not made up by later generations. But as far as he knew. Masters such as Feng Zhen and Huang Jin also rely on squatting and sandbags, and then combining them with medicine and high-calorie food.

As for such a thing as internal strength, I haven't seen it before.

Sun Dan felt strange in his heart and decided to try it himself. See if you can practice the so-called internal strength, maybe you will become a master comparable to Feng Zhen.

In the past, he was so busy with affairs that he never had time to connect. Now I finally have free time. Idle. I sat up in the exam room according to that article.

This sitting was an afternoon, not only did I not feel any of the so-called qi, but I fell asleep in the examination room.

But because he sat for too long, his whole body was stiff, and his body still maintained a straight sitting posture, and he looked a little virtuous.

It's almost October now, that is, at the beginning of the 11th month of the Gregorian calendar. Even in the afterlife, it's time to cool down. For a long time, the temperature in Beijing should be around 15 degrees Celsius in November. But this is ancient times, and there is no greenhouse effect, and the temperature is a few degrees lower than in modern times.

A few days ago, because of the sun for a few days in a row. Sun Dan didn't feel anything yet. But today's sudden cooling makes it a little cold.

If he sat in the examination room like everyone else, he wouldn't feel anything. But as soon as the person is asleep, his body temperature will be lowered by two degrees when he is awake.

After sitting for a long time, when it was time to hand in the papers, Sun Dan woke up, only to feel that his whole body was numb. Stretched out his hand and patted his leg for a long time before he recovered.

Not only that, but he also felt a little cold in the vest. I fought badly in my heart.

By the time the papers were called out of the examination room, it was already completely dark.

Zhi Niang and her family were waiting outside the venue for Xiao Jian Sun Dan to come out, and they all surrounded him.

Zhi Niang asked worriedly: "Sun Lang, how did you do in the exam?" ”

Chen Jie, who appeared one step ahead of Sun Dan, was already waiting outside, and when he heard Zhi Niang's question, he said: "Sun Jingyuan is a famous celebrity in the sea, and Mrs. shouldn't have asked this sentence." ”

Zhi Niang was still a little worried, but Sun Dan said, "No problem, it should be able to win." ”

The people of the Sun family cheered at the same time, Zhi Niang had tears in her eyes, clasped her hands, and said again and again: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Sun Lang is finally going to be the master of the people." ”

It was still Tinglan's sharp eyes, and she saw Sun Dan's face red and red ears. Breathing a little heavily, he hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Dan said: "It seems that I have a cold. ”

Zhiniang is just "Ah! A cry shouted: "Hurry up, bring the master's big coat, the carriage, the carriage." ”

It's another chicken, flying, dog, jumping, and waiting for the time when I get home. Sun Dan ate a dose of chaihu soup, then wrapped himself in a quilt and shrunk into his back socket to sweat.

This night, Sun Dan was sweating. When I woke up the next day, I was in better spirits. was about to go out for a walk, but Zhiniang wouldn't let him go out.

Sun Dan had no choice but to lie in bed for a day. I forgot how to settle the people of the Hou Sun family of Huichang.

On this day, many Shuntianfu people came to visit in the same year, but they were all blocked by Zhiniang.

By the third day, it was finally good, and Zhiniang was relieved.

Sun Dan took Zhi Niang, Ting Lan and Feng Zhen to prepare to go to the Fist Mustard Temple to meet the people of the Sun family, and the good students who came here discussed with the three ladies of the Sun Mansion. see how to settle more than 100 people in the Sun family; Secondly. Sun Henian and Sun Songnian's mourning hall is located there, and as a child of the Sun family, he has the obligation to go

Sacrifice to.

He also knew that Sun Henian's matter had a lot to do with his Sun Dan, although he was open-minded, but the people of Sun Mansion might not think so.

Although Zhi Niang didn't know what was going on. But she is still a little afraid of the people in the Sun Mansion, and she also knows that those people are not easy to get along with. said worriedly: "Sun Lang, you have a bad temper, the Sun family will speak badly, you are not allowed to get angry." ”

Sun Dan smiled bitterly: "I have a good personality, don't worry about it." ”

Tinglan sneered: "They speak ugly, and now they are all scattered, and they are not going to fall down." Once my lord is lifted and is rich and powerful, the Sun family still has to rely on us to feed, so why should he be struggling? Don't worry, ma'am, the situation is that they should please and compliment our sisters, not the other way around.

Just take care of yourself, where are you afraid of him? ”

Zhi Niang still didn't want to go to see Mrs. Liu. Hesitantly: "Sun Lang, don't go." Today is the day of the trial release of Shuntianfu Township. This is the big deal, let's go and see the list. ”

Sun Dan: "Besides, there is no suspense in the exam, and it is a waste of time to go to see it, but it is estimated that the Sun Mansion has run out of food, so I can't help but worry about it." ”

Tinglan had the heart to go to the Sun Mansion to show off, so that she could take a breath of the evil anger that they had driven out of the Sun Mansion and put Sun Dan here before, so she couldn't stop saying: "The master said that it is reasonable, it is better not to see the list over there, anyway, if you are hit by the lifter, you will naturally have a tolerance to come and report the good news." I left a message at home, and when the people who reported the good news came, let them go to the Boxing Temple to find the master. ”

Sun Dan nodded: "That's appropriate." ”

Sun Dan and his entourage went to the Fist Mustard Temple, but they didn't want to be another scene. If you want to know what will happen next, please land in the heart. More chapters, support for authors. Support genuine reading!
