Chapter 233: High Hopes
(Recommended reading: Jingshi Gongyuan, Mingyuan Building.
Mingyuan Building is three floors high, is the most important building in the Gongyuan in the capital, the name is taken from the "University" in the "cautious pursuit of the future, Mingde and return to the thick".
Different from the attic elsewhere, Mingyuan Building is a square building, the ground floor is surrounded by walls, each with a round arch, and the four eaves columns lead from the ground floor to the roof, with intertwined beams and columns, and windows on all sides.
Because the Mingyuan Building is as high as three floors, so climb to the top of the building and look around, the entire Gongyuan is clear at a glance, it is the place where the examiner gives orders during the Ming Hui Examination and the Beizhili Township Examination.
It is worth mentioning that the two sides of the gate of the Mingyuan Building are engraved with the eight characters of "Ming Jing Scholars" and "Seeking Talents for the Country", which shows the political significance of the Gongyuan.
At this moment, in front of the guardrail of the balcony on the third floor of the Mingyuan Building, three officials dressed in big hats were looking condescendingly at Li Hongyu who walked into the building in the distance.
These three officials are naturally the three bigwigs Shi Jikai, Han Yi and Wu Liangsi in this examination, because the three of them are in the Gongyuan, so they do not know the results of today's trial in the Shuntian Mansion, and in the eyes of the three of them, Li Hongyu's case is very troublesome and cannot be solved in a short time.
Therefore, the three of them all thought that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who missed the exam, could not catch up with this exam, especially Wu Liangsi felt sorry for this, and he was extremely serious about Li Hongyu.
However, to the surprise of the three of them, just this afternoon, Emperor Wanli actually sent Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to the Tribute Courtyard with a holy decree, which means that Li Hongyu has successfully escaped from the case, and they don't know what happened in the lobby of Shuntianfu.
Therefore, the arrival of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin attracted the attention of Shi Jikai, Han Yi and Wu Liangsi, and the three of them stood on the top floor of Mingyuan Building and watched the two go to their respective houses.
"Lord Wu, your Huguang's move has broken the wilderness in the history of our Ming imperial examination, and it was actually sent in by the emperor with a holy decree after the entrance examination."
When Li Hongyu entered the house, Shi Jikai, who was standing in the middle of the three, smiled and said to Wu Liangsi beside him, because of the close relationship between the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party, he naturally knew that Wu Liangsi had high hopes for Li Hongyu, the rising star of Huguang Shilin.
"It's the emperor Shengming who let him catch up with this subject exam, otherwise it will be three years later."
Wu Liangsi laughed when he heard this, and said after arching his hand diagonally, to be honest, he thought that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would miss the exam this time, but he never expected the two of them to enter the tribute courtyard unexpectedly.
This time, the strength of Huguang Juzi has undoubtedly risen to a new level, you must know that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are Xie Yuan and Yayuan of Huguang Township, and they are also the leaders of the unpopular "Five Classics", and their strength is naturally better than others.
"Lord Wu, your Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan in Huguang are really interesting, and they actually want to cook in the house."
At this time, Han Yi looked at Wulang Death with a smile, and he noticed the pots and pans in Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's large examination baskets, which made him feel quite surprised, you must know that no one is in the mood to make a fire to cook when he will try.
"Li Jieyuan and Zhao Yayuan cooked in the house when they were in the township test, which may be a way for them to relax." Wu Liangsi smiled slightly when he heard this, and a smug look flashed at the corner of his mouth.
In other words, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are very comfortable with each other, otherwise they would not seem so idle, but of course he can't say this kind of show-off, otherwise it will be too superficial.
Han Yi smiled when he heard this, and a look of envy flashed in his eyes, not to mention Li Hongyu's literary style and ability, this kind of calmness when facing the test alone is incomparable to other moves.
Of course, Han Yi is not hostile to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin now, the reason is naturally because of Yang Lian, Yang Lian is very fond of Li Hongyu like Wu Liangsi, so Li Hongyu is also very likely to follow Yang Lian to join the Donglin Party after stepping into the official career.
"You say, where can you stand out and win the Huiyuan in this department?" Shi Jikai knew that both the Donglin Party and the Chu Party were interested in Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and he didn't want to get involved in this issue, so Yu Feng asked as soon as he turned around.
"Obviously, it's still a move by the southern roll.
Wu Liangsi groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said to Shi Jikai and Han Yi with a smile, "If nothing else, this time it is still your Jiangsu and Zhejiang who will win the championship." ”
"This time, I'm optimistic about your Li Xie Yuan from Huguang!" Shi Jikai smiled, his eyes fell on Li Hongyu's house, and said meaningfully.
In fact, Huiyuan is just a false name, the important thing is the champion of the palace examination, and the result of the palace examination is what the lifters want the most, which determines their future career.
Compared with other movers, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin have already emerged in front of Emperor Wanli, so as long as the two of them can enter the palace examination, then Li Hongyu is likely to be named the champion by Emperor Wanli.
After all, the champions of the palace examination, the list of eyes and the flowers of the temple examination are appointed by the emperor, and they have nothing to do with the results of the examination.
Therefore, Shi Jikai thinks that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin persevered to the end, so they will definitely be able to get unexpected gains, and they have a huge advantage that other candidates do not have.
Wu Liangsi naturally understood Shi Jikai's words, and a pleasant look appeared on his face, Li Hongyu not only appeared in "Pingliao Ce" but also successfully got out of the **** case, Emperor Wanli must be deeply impressed, so it will have an unexpected effect when he waits for the palace test.
The corners of Han Yi's mouth also had a smile on his lips, if Yang Lian can pull Li Hongyu into the Donglin Party, then he will undoubtedly become the leader of the younger generation of the Donglin Party, and it will be of great benefit to the party competition with Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other parties.
Li Hongyu naturally didn't know that the three examiners were judging him, and after entering the number room, he concentrated on checking the exam papers, and the top priority was naturally to answer the questions.
For Li Hongyu, the two-day exam time is not much different from the three-day exam time, anyway, he only needs one day to finish the exam papers.
As was the case in the Huguangxiang examination, the paper included three questions from the Analects, the Mean, and Mencius, and five from the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period.
It seems that the examiners don't like "University" very much, because the number of words in "University" is too small, so the questions that examiners can come out from above for more than 200 years have basically been finished, and it is difficult to find any good questions.
Of course, whether it is three "Four Books" questions or five "Five Classics" questions, candidates do not need to answer all of them, they only need to choose one of them, otherwise they will not drive those candidates crazy.
The regulation of answering the "Four Books" questions is commonly referred to as the "Eight Strands", and there are strict requirements for both the content and the format of the text.
On the other hand, the "Five Classics" questions are not so old-fashioned, and candidates are free to play to interpret their understanding of the "Five Classics" they have learned.
During the township test, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin chose the unpopular "Book of Rites" and "Spring and Autumn", which was not only to repay Fang Yun and others, but also to have full confidence in their respective strengths.
However, this time is different, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin will definitely choose the popular "Five Classics" for the exam, and only if they defeat the competitors in the popular "Five Classics" can they make the world's readers worship.
Therefore, Li Hongyu chose the topic of the most popular "Book of Songs" in the "Five Classics" this time, while Zhao Xin chose the topic of the "Book of Changes" to answer.
Since the process of the examination is the same as that of the township examination, the examiner will first pick out the person with the best score in each of the "Five Classics" test questions, and the Five Classics will account for one of them and become the "leader of the Five Classics" in the examination.
These five people are naturally the top five in the examination, and then the ranking of the five people is determined according to the "Four Books" question, and the best of them is naturally Huiyuan, which will test the level of the candidates' eight-strand literary ability.
As for the ranking of the results of the five people, as in the township examination, the examiners will determine the results of the three examinations according to the comprehensive situation of the three examinations, of which the results of the first examination account for the largest proportion.
Different from the township examination, only the first place in the examination is called "Huiyuan", and the candidates in the rest of the rankings do not have any titles, this is because the examination is for the next palace examination, so the final ranking of the candidates will be determined after the palace examination, and there is no need to give any name to those tributes.
However, although the official did not make a customization, the readers still privately named the top five of the examination as "Wujing Kui", and the sixth name as "Yayuan".
This is because the examination is the comprehensive ability of the candidates, and the palace examination is only a test of current politics, so the level of literary attainment is regarded as the examination rather than the palace examination.
Therefore, if the champion is not the Huiyuan of the department, then when he sees the Jinshi who was born in the department, he will usually be respectful, although his status is more noble than the other party, but the other party's knowledge is higher than him.
Just when Li Hongyu was concentrating on answering the question, Zhu Wanting was planning revenge against Zhang Quan, if it wasn't for Li Hongyu's life this time, she would have been killed by Zhang Quan, so she couldn't swallow this sulking breath no matter what.
"County Lord, the little one has already been investigated, and the second son of Wuwei Hou is feasting in the Eight Hutongs at night." In the imperial city, Princess Shouning's Mansion, a man who looked like a guard reported in a deep voice to Zhu Wanting, who was dancing a sword in the garden.
"Okay, you take someone to arrest him at night, and then sink into the canal outside the city." Zhu Wanting's face turned cold when she heard this, and she went down with a sword to cut off a branch that had grown a bud on a big tree next to her, and then coldly gave an order.
"County Lord, he is a little marquis, will it be ...... to do this" The guard couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Wanting with a sad face, after all, Zhang Quan was not an ordinary person, and it would be very troublesome to kill him.
"Everything is in the hands of the county lord, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Wanting suddenly raised her eyebrows, stopped her movements and glared at the guard.
"The little one understands, so let's do it." The guard hurriedly turned pale, didn't dare to say more, and left quickly after bowing his hand to Zhu Wanting.
"The county lord has already warned you in Wuchang, but you still dare to touch the county lord's people, then don't blame the county lord for being polite!" Zhu Wanting looked at the sharp sword in her hand, and said with a frosty mask, the "you" in her mouth naturally referred to Zhang Quan.
