"Hahaha......... Ladies and gentlemen, I said that this money is talented, but you don't believe it. Do you have anything to say now? Emperor Renwu saw that Qian Jin was the first to finish filling in the poems, and he couldn't hold back his smugness to show off to his ministers.

"Your Majesty." The ministers had no choice but to second.

"Little cabbage, don't hurry up and announce the decree." Emperor Renwu was in a good mood and ordered Gonggong Cai to read the holy decree.

Qian Jin almost burst into laughter when he heard Emperor Renwu call Gonggong Cai a little vegetable melon. But seeing that everyone else was silent, he hurriedly held back and knelt down with the ministers to receive the holy decree.

Gonggong Cai glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers and preached loudly:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Today, there is a Guanhai City Qian enter, the article character is first-class, specially appointed as the champion of the new department, promoted to the Son of Heaven to lecture and the Hanlin Academy editor, with a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, a courtyard of two enters, ten pieces of gold, five pieces of jade, and twenty horses of silk......

Guangdong Liao's east lin, the article is of excellent character, specially appointed as the new branch of the list, promoted to Yangzhou Mansion Yin, with a reward of five hundred taels of silver, five pieces of gold, five pieces of jade, and ten horses of silk......

Suzhou Mao's Tengkai, the article has excellent character, specially appointed as the new branch of Tanhua, promoted to Jinhua Mansion Yin, with a reward of three hundred taels of silver, five pieces of gold, five pieces of jade, and five pieces of silk......

In addition, this time, the champion and the list are all from Guangdong, and Xu Baolu, the chief political secretary of Guangdong, Lin Youtang, and Shen Kui, the chief and deputy examiners of Guangdong Qiuyi, have made meritorious contributions to the people, and they have been promoted to a grade on the spot. Chin this. ”

Qian Jin's head was still dizzy at the moment. How many people dreamed of the champion, but they smashed him on the head like this. He never thought that Emperor Renwu would actually use a poem that he came casually to do the exam question.

For a long time, the most urgent need for the way of officialdom is to have an official identity, which is much more convenient for doing so. When the time comes, you can find a county seat as a county magistrate, open a few more workshops, and then engage in overseas trade (smuggling, of course) when you have money, and when you make enough money, you will not be afraid of any natural or man-made disasters.

Now, Emperor Renwu actually gave him a Son of Heaven to give a lecture and the Hanlin Academy to edit. The Son of Heaven said that it was okay, he could chat with the emperor and be a secretary, and it sounded quite glamorous. As for the editing of the Hanlin Academy, do you edit books every day? If the official position can be exchanged, he would really like to exchange with Liao Donglin.

If Qian Jin's idea is known by others, it is estimated that he will be angry with a liter of blood. It has always been the dream of all officials to enter Hanlin, and it is also the primary condition for entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister. The Son of Heaven is even more terrible, he accompanies the emperor every day, so his official career in the future is not smooth?

At this time, the names of the other Jinshi had already been written on the red list according to the ranking of the palace examination, and only the top three positions were vacant. Some officials from the Ministry of Officials had already copied the names of Qian Jin and the three of them, and they were ready to release the list in Chengtianmen.

When Emperor Renwu saw this, he prepared to retire from the court, and the ministers shouted long live to send him off.

When Qian Jin and the three of them saw that the emperor was gone, they greeted the court officials one by one. Among them, there is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Shi Xueyi, and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Wang Peiwen. Most of the officials who do the job of Shangshu are old men with a lot of beard, and the youngest is also in their early fifties.

Shi Shangshu already knew about Qian Jin's deeds, and said two sentences in a row, "The future is terrifying" to show his appreciation. Wang Shangshu just nodded.

When he arrived at Li Shoufu's place, Qian Jin bowed respectfully, but didn't say anything. I think back then, if it weren't for Shoufu, my grandfather would have been dead long ago. Qian Jin's bow is from the heart.

Although Li Shoufu is half a head shorter than Qian Jin, he has an invisible momentum, and a pair of eyes seem to be able to look directly into people's hearts. I only heard him say in a deep voice: "Today, when you go out of the city, you can go to the Chengtian Gate." Remember to slow down, you only have one chance in your life. Also, Your Majesty has allowed you to visit Beijing for a day. ”

"Thank you Shoufu for reminding me, and the students will come back to thank you in the future." Qian Jin bowed and said.

Li Shoufu said "um" and stopped talking.

Qian Jin invited Liao Donglin and Mao Tengkai to go to Chengtianmen together. Sure enough, the Gate of Chengtian has been opened.

"Brother Qian, please." Liao Donglin motioned for Qian to go ahead, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Qian Jin knew it in his heart. For a long time, Liao Dong's rankings in the township test and the meeting test have stabilized himself, and now that he has won the champion, he will have some ideas. However, this temple test is not something that I can decide, although I want to comfort a few words, but I don't know where to start. So he grabbed Liao Donglin's arm, and then grabbed Mao Tengkai's arm, and said with a smile: "Two brothers, together." ”

"Please ......"

"Please ......"

Liao Donglin and Mao Tengkai knew that Qian Jin was polite, but this rule still couldn't be messed up, so they still asked Qian Jin to go in front, and the two followed side by side.

At this time, the sun was shining, the spring breeze was blowing, and the three of Qian Jin were striding on the royal road made of white marble, and the robes on their bodies were swaying with the wind. This road at the foot is the central axis of the entire capital and the center of the entire Chen State.

The ancients said: "Mo Dao Deng Keyi, the old man is like ascending to the sky". How many people think about it day and night, just hoping to be able to walk on the road in front of them. At the age of sixteen, Qian Jin turned the things that countless scholars thought about day and night into reality, and he couldn't help but feel pride in his heart.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, there were already seventy or eighty officials waiting, and the sedan horses were all honored. The first official greeted him, bowed down and said: "The three upstarts, the contemptible one is Ruan Yuan, the official of the Shuntian Mansion, who was ordered by His Majesty to preside over the affairs of the tour of Beijing, please change clothes in the sedan chair." ”

"I'm tired." Qian Jin and the three of them clasped their fists and said.

After cleaning up, Qian Jin came out of the sedan chair, had changed into a red robe and a golden black gauze hat, and wore a bright red silk flower on his chest. Qian Jin had only seen this outfit on TV before, but he didn't expect it to be draped on himself today, and he couldn't help but feel a dreamy feeling.

After the three of them were all cleaned up, a servant put a horse stool on the side of a jujube red horse and asked Qian to get on the horse. Subsequently, only listening to the sound of "dang", the official opened the way with gongs and drums, and the group began to tour Beijing in a mighty way.

The route of this tour of Beijing is also fixed, starting from Chengtianmen, going straight out of Daming Gate, and then traveling around the outer city from east to west before it is finished. There are as many officials and nobles in the inner city, and most of the common people live in the outer city, so the emperor wants to show his holy grace, of course, he must choose a place with many people.

When he arrived at Daming Gate, Qian Jin saw that the guard was familiar, and thought about it for a while, this was the one who stopped him when he came out of the small island in Princess Lake in Anqing.

The guard general also looked suspicious when he saw Qian Jin, and after thinking for a while, he decisively hugged Qian Jin and said, "The commander of the military capital of the contemptible Chinese army is Leng Xing, congratulations to the new champion." ”

"There's Lao Leng in command." Qian Jin returned the salute on horseback. It stands to reason that he is not performing his duties now, he only has the identity of a thousand households, and he has to salute when he sees this cold line, but today the emperor allowed him to visit Beijing, so he simply became arrogant.

When the team arrived at Qianmen Street, it began to be lively. The common people heard the sound of gongs and drums, and saw three upstarts wearing red robes and riding high-headed horses. For a time, the whole street was crowded.

The aunts and aunts on the street began to get busy, and they seized the opportunity that only comes once in three years to judge the three upstarts.

Among the three, Mao Tengkai is the best-looking, and he is only in his early twenties. From time to time, young women in the crowd chanted "Tanhualang". Mao Tengkai hugged his fists and responded to those women one by one, and his posture was not chic.

Qian Jin walked in front with a black face, although he was a little unhappy, but there was no way, who called himself to tan his face on the way to Beijing, it was really 'one white covering three ugly'. Liao Donglin was expressionless.

As they reached a street to the east, the line slowed down.

Qian Jin looked up and saw a young woman in yellow standing in an attic a few feet away, holding a hydrangea in her hand. The attic was full of people, including swordsmen, scholars, peddlers, and pawns.

"What's going on up ahead?" Qian Jin called a servant and asked.

"Back to the words of the champion Yuangong, today is the day when the daughter of the old man Yun of Hongyuan Dart Bureau Yun Sanniang chooses a son-in-law. Old Man Yun has three daughters in his family, the eldest and the second are married, but these three mothers are good at martial arts, chivalrous and courageous, and have a high vision. I heard that all the matchmakers have broken through the threshold, but Yun Sanniang can't look down on any of them, and they haven't married for almost ten years. The old man Yun urged him tightly, so the three niangs said, 'fate is determined', and they chose to throw hydrangea today to choose a son-in-law. ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but glance at the woman more, only to see that she was tall, with a green silk tied behind her head with a red rope at will, her eyebrows were like swords, and her eyes carried a spirit that was not inferior to that of a man. At this moment, the woman in yellow also glanced at Qian Jin, and the two eyes met in the air. After a few breaths, Qian Jin lost his momentum first, and he couldn't help but say "man's wife" in his heart.

"Please tell Ruan Yanmu about it, the two teams will become one team, and speed up." Qian Jin instructed the officer.

"Yes." The official replied.

The group changed formation, avoiding the crowd on the attic side. Qian Jin also urged the mount, ready to pass quickly.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a spherical object flying towards him. Qian Jinxin said that it was going to be bad, and Mao Tengkai's smug look flashed in his mind at the same time, so he clamped the horse's belly to the side of his body, and at the same time exerted his strength in his waist and hips, and hit the hydrangea into Mao Tengkai's arms with a header.

From the ball to the in, but a breath of time. That Mao Tengkai was holding the hydrangea on the spot, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

A dart rider had already arrived, and Mao Tengkai was pulled off the horse and carried to the attic.

"Ruan Yanmu, this Mao Tengkai hit the flower and grabbed the hydrangea, it was really a double happiness. The capital is almost gone, so it's better to disperse. Qian Jin rode his horse to Ruan Yuan's side and said.

"Your Majesty will ask ...... then," Ruan Yuan said with some concern.

"Naturally, it's a full circle. Let the money buy wine and food for the brothers. The money went into his mouth as he spoke, and he handed a money bag in his hand.

"Well said...... Say. Ruan Yuan quietly took the money bag into his arms.

Qian Jin returned the horses and hurried to the courtyard. The red robe and the golden-flowered black gauze hat naturally don't need to be returned.

"Sister Hua, do you have anything to eat? Starve to death......" Qian Jin shouted as soon as he entered the door.
