Chapter 232: Ordered to take the exam
(Recommended reading: When Sun Xiang reported the case to Emperor Wanli, Qingning Palace.
"Taisun, the case has been tried in Shuntianfu, Li Xie Yuan won by surprise, and retreated, estimating that the emperor would order him and Zhao Yayuan to go to the Tribute Academy to take the exam."
Wei Zhongxian walked into a side room quickly, and said with a smile to Zhu Youxiao, who was learning the craft from several carpenter masters in the side room, "It seems that Li Xie Yuan's luck is really good, with Zhao Yayuan, a confidant in distress, to help him, otherwise the case would not have been closed so quickly." ”
"Otomo, do you know who framed Li Jieyuan?" After learning about the trial from Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao asked while using the planer in his hand to thin a long strip of wood.
"Back to Taisun, Shuntianfu has posted a notice throughout the city to arrest the 'Tiger Brother' who instructed the Yang family and others."
Wei Zhongxian groaned for a while, stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "However, according to the old slave's guess, this matter should be related to the second son of Wuwei Hou, the second son of Wu Weihou suffered a big loss from Li Xie Yuan when he was in Wuchang, and he will definitely get back face with his temperament, except for Wu Wei Hou's second son, Li Xie Yuan has no grudge with anyone in the capital." ”
"The courage of these noble sons is really big, the imperial examination is the way of taking the official position of my Ming Dynasty, and the sons of heaven in the past dynasties have not paid attention to it, I am afraid that only they dare to rely on the grace of their ancestors to dare to do this."
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and then Yu Feng changed his mind and asked, "Big companion, do you think Li Xie Yuan can be admitted to the Gongshi after this turmoil?" ”
"Taisun, with the old slave looking at Li Xie as an old man, this little thing can't affect him to take the exam, and he should be able to be admitted to the Gongshi with ten **." Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, bowed and replied.
"That's good, as long as he becomes a jinshi, the palace will go to the imperial grandfather to summon him to the East Palace to do things, and the palace wants to see how much overseas things he knows." Zhu Youxiao immediately laughed when he heard this, stopped his movements and looked at Wei Zhongxian with interest, and could see that he was very interested in what Li Hongyu said.
"Li Jieyuan's ability to get the favor of his grandson is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life.
Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, and he bowed down with a smile and said, thinking that Li Hongyu had hit a big luck this time and was taken seriously by Zhu Youxiao, and when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and became the emperor in the future, then he would have to make steady progress in his career.
At the same time, in a restaurant in Beijing.
Zhang Quan was drinking with the two sons, leisurely waiting for the results of the trial of the Shuntian Mansion, because he thought that Li Hongyu would definitely die this time, so he was in a good mood, and the two sons and brothers pushed the cup and exchanged lamps, and the atmosphere was very warm.
"Little Hou Ye, the He couple and others pleaded guilty in court, and now Shuntian Mansion has posted a notice to arrest 'Brother Tiger'." The door opened, and a subordinate hurriedly walked in and came to Zhang Quan's side to report in a deep voice.
"What? Let the surname Li get out! The conversation and laughter in the room stopped abruptly, Zhang Quan looked at the subordinate in disbelief and said, his mind was a little confused, how could He Yu, Yang and Zheng confess their guilt?
When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly told the story of the court trial, and Zhang Quan, who listened to it, was dumbfounded, he never imagined that Li Hongyu didn't move Qin Yue and Rou'er beside him.
The two sons who sat with each other also looked at each other, thinking that things were a little too bizarre, in the eyes of the two, it was understandable that Li Hongyu would not move Qin Yue, after all, Qin Yue had not passed the door yet, but Rouer was Li Hongyu's personal maid and slept at night, which was a matter of course.
"Rubbish!" After figuring out what happened in the court, Zhang Quan couldn't help but throw the glass he was holding on the ground, and scolded angrily, thinking that He Yu and the others should insist that the child was Li Hongyu's in the court, so that Li Hongyu would not get out so easily.
"Second brother, the top priority now is to find that 'Tiger Brother', only people from the government except him can't find you." At this time, a son-in-law groaned for a while, and said to Zhang Quan with a serious expression, since he and Zhang Quan are brothers, it is obvious that he is also a noble son.
"Go, throw him into the canal." Zhang Quan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his face was gloomy and he instructed the subordinate who came in to report.
"Second brother, do you know where 'Brother Tiger' is?" The subordinate bowed to Zhang Quan and walked away quickly, and the son-in-law who had asked before couldn't help but look at Zhang Quan with some curiosity and asked.
"Sima Ze is worried that the circumstances of the case will change, so before the case starts, I have already asked 'Brother Hu' to be sent to Tongzhou." Zhang Quan bowed slightly when he heard this, and then slammed the table unwillingly, "This surnamed Li is really lucky, otherwise he would be in a catastrophe this time." ”
"Second brother, the coming day is long, and there will be a chance to clean him up in the future." Another son-in-law got up and poured Zhang Quan a glass of wine, and comforted him with a smile, "Maybe after such a fuss, he may fall off the list, and then he can also make the second brother sulk." ”
Zhang Quan, who had a gloomy face, picked up the wine glass and drank it all when he heard this, feeling quite annoyed in his heart, Li Hongyu would definitely act carefully after experiencing this lawsuit, and it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity to frame him again.
With the edict of Emperor Wanli, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were led to the Jingshi Tribute Courtyard by an attendant holding the holy decree, and shouted to open the closed gate of the Tribute Courtyard and sent Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin in with the holy decree.
For the arrival of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, the outer curtain officials in the Gongyuan were extremely surprised, no one expected that Emperor Wanli would issue an edict for the two of them to refer to halfway, let alone that Li Hongyu's case would be settled so quickly.
As for the internal curtain officials who were in charge of interrogating the files, because He Yu and the others had not falsely accused Li Hongyu when they entered the Gongyuan in advance, they did not know about Li Hongyu's case at all.
"Take care!" Before entering the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, Li Hongyu bowed his hand to Zhao Xin, and said with a somewhat complicated expression, his mood was very conflicted about whether Zhao Xin should be dragged into the water and into the officialdom.
Obviously, with Zhao Xin's presence, he will have an extra boost in the officialdom, in terms of this case, if it weren't for Zhao Xin risking his life to beat the drum, then I'm afraid he is still in the prison of Shuntianfu, where is it so easy to close the case.
But in this way, it will undoubtedly put Zhao Xin in danger, this is not what he wants to see, as long as Zhao Xin steps into the tribute courtyard, he will inevitably start a life full of thorns and bumps, and it is inevitable that he will suffer and suffer, so his mood is very complicated.
"Take care!" Zhao Xin saw that Li Hongyu's expression was a little solemn and thought that it was related to the imminent entry into the Tribute Academy, so he smiled at him and bowed his hand.
"Alas!" Li Hongyu sighed secretly in his heart, and walked into the gate of the Tribute Courtyard side by side with Zhao Xin apologetically.
Unlike Li Hongyu, who was in a nervous mood, Zhao Xin looked a little excited, her cheeks were filled with excitement that could not be concealed, if she remembered correctly, she would become the first woman in the history of the Ming Imperial Examination to participate in the examination.
The first thing after entering the Gongyuan is naturally to choose the number plate corresponding to the number house, the number plate is written according to the number of people who participate in the meeting, so there are only two number plates left in the basket with the number plate, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were taken to their respective number houses to take the exam after choosing one.
To the surprise of the officers along the way, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were carrying pots and pans and all kinds of ingredients in the examination baskets, which seemed to be cooking in the number house, and the rest of the reference figures spent their time answering the questions, as for eating cold dry food.
Therefore, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's move is quite unusual among many lifters, and it has never appeared in the previous session of the exam.
It is worth mentioning that the process of the examination is the same as that of the township examination, a total of three exams, one every three days, and the seat number transfer is rearranged after each exam, and the purpose is naturally to prevent cheating as much as possible.
In the first test, the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", the "Four Books" test questions are eight strands, and the "Five Classics" test the understanding of the meaning of the scriptures;
After all, after all, after passing the examination to become a jinshi, and then to be an official, the court will not spend effort to teach the jinshi how to be an official, so the juzi have gone through the study and training of relevant knowledge in ordinary times.
This is also the reason why Jinshi can be directly sent to the local magistrate county, as long as he can become a Jinshi, it means that he has passed the assessment and can be in charge of the government, and it is not like the folk rumors that he can only be a waste of eight articles and not government affairs.
The third test is to examine the political insight of scholars, and the essays written by those candidates who want to stand out are either fierce and vicious or praise merits and virtues, and the articles that are rumored to be flattering by the folk come from this one.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's houses were a little far apart, so the two walked together for a while and quickly separated at a fork in the road, and each went to their own house.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the chief examiner is Shi Jikai, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and the deputy chief examiner is the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the assistant manager of the Zhan Shifu and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Han Yi, and the same examiner is Wu Lianghei in the military department.
It should be noted that Shi Jikai and Han Yi's main position is to study for bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, which is an official position from the fifth grade, among which Han Yi also assists Zhan Shifu, that is, he is in charge of Zhan Shifu.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the right attendant of the six departments became a title.
Therefore, Shi Jikai's right waiter of the Ministry of Officials and Han Yijian's right waiter of the Ministry of Rites are the titles of the two, and the two do not serve in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, but enjoy the treatment of the right waiter of the Ministry of Officials and the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Since the squire of the sixth department is the official rank of the third rank, so after the two of them have the title of the right squire, the official rank becomes the third rank, and it is no longer from the fifth rank.
From the appointment of the Wanli Emperor to Shi Jikai, Han Yi and Wu Liangsi, the three important examiners of the examination, it can be seen that he has a partisan power above the balance of the court.
Among them, Shi Jikai is a member of the Zhejiang Party, Han Yi is a member of the Donglin Party, and Wu Liangsi is a member of the Chu Party.
Due to the continued growth of the Donglin Party, the Wanli Emperor had secretly restricted it, so only one of the three important examiners was a member of the Donglin Party.
According to the usual practice, the tributes of the high school will visit the examiner as a teacher, and the examiner has a teacher-student friendship, which will be an important interpersonal relationship between them in the officialdom in the future, and the intention of the Wanli Emperor to balance the party forces in the court through the examination is self-evident.
