Chapter 166: A Eunuch Came Out of Nowhere
There was a eunuch in the small Qingdu County examination room, and the students who were taking the exam were very surprised, and they couldn't help but look up.
But Zhou Zhi didn't even raise his eyelids. At this time, he was working hard to write the second article, and nothing would affect him. In his heart, he had long decided that nothing was important at this time, and it was important to write the article well and write more beautifully.
This is also the experience accumulated in the examination of later generations, in the examination room is to be free of distractions, the mind is one, and must not be affected by various external factors.
The short, thick and fat middle-aged eunuch stood in front of the examination room with a smile, and Chen Guangyao suddenly said loudly, "Zhusheng pauses slightly, the father-in-law Wu in charge of the palace passes through our small county of Qingdu through Wugong Highway, sympathizes with the hard work of Zhusheng's exam, and specially comes to visit Zhusheng." ”
Hearing the county teacher speak, Zhou Zhi's heart was suddenly shocked, Wu Jing? So familiar with the name? Isn't this the Wu Jing that when Emperor Zhengde went down to Yangzhou later, he was tyrannical and extorted and looked for beauties for Zhengde everywhere, so that there were women everywhere in Yangzhou City vying for men to be husbands, and it was difficult to have a grand occasion in a thousand years? Isn't this a good thing! How did he get here?
Only then did he look up and look ahead, but he saw that Wu Jing had a white face, as if he had been washed with milk, and it was very tender. A pair of small eyes were squinting slightly at the candidates at this time.
What attracted Zhou Zhi's attention even more was that behind Wu Jing, the little eunuch who was about twenty years old was burly and about twenty years old, and the little eunuch was standing beside Wu Jing with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, looking cautious. Just glanced at the little eunuch, and Zhou Zhi's heart was so excited that he almost stood up and rushed forward.
never thought that he was his tiger brother.
Zhang Hudan'er gave himself such a knife, and then changed his name to Zhang Yong and went to the capital, which was really famous.
Zhou Zhi knows that according to the development of history, although the current Zhang Yong is still a long-term follower of Wu Jing, and he is not inconspicuous at all, but the years will not be too long, Zhang Yong will rise to the top, and he has his foot in this Ming Dynasty, and he is in a high position.
Perhaps feeling Zhou Zhi's kind and anxious gaze, Zhang Yong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhi.
After Zhang Yong recognized Zhou Zhi, his eyes were so happy, and he nodded lightly at Zhou Zhi excitedly. If it weren't for Zhang Yong's scruples about Wu Jing at this time, it is estimated that Zhang Yong would immediately run over, hug Zhou Zhi, and tell him about his bumpy experience for more than a year.
Wu Jing said sharply, "Everyone, but you have to write well!" The emperor is sympathetic to the hard work of the candidates and cares about you! Although our family cannot represent the emperor this time, our family also has a thought with the emperor, that is, I hope you can study hard, take the exam well in this prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, and share worries for the emperor in the future and serve the country! ”
This guy hadn't read any books, but he still said a few incoherent words, but he said it impassionedly and a little magnificently.
Wu Jing actually didn't have much status in the palace at this time, just a eunuch in charge. The eunuch in charge is an official position of the eighth grade, which is even lower than Chen Guangyao, the magistrate. But you can't underestimate him, he is a person in the palace, not to mention, the most important thing is that he is now following the great eunuch Li Guang.
Although Emperor Hongzhi is a relatively clear emperor, there is a saying of "Hongzhi Zhongxing" during his reign, but it is inevitable that there will be a few traitors or something.
In the early days of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi drastically cleaned up the immortal faction, the later faction, the spring faction, the mixed faction and other major factions, the three pavilions of paper paste, and the six books of clay sculptures collapsed one after another, and the status of eunuchs was very low. But in the later period, Emperor Hongzhi also believed in things like talisman spells.
The eunuch Li Guang bewitched Emperor Hongzhi with his ability to make talismans, spells, prayers, and sacrifices, and was awarded the title of herald. The eunuch Li Guang can be described as a flourishing moment, and the scenery is infinite.
Although the ministers of the DPRK and China have repeatedly admonished, Li Guangzheng is at the peak at this time, but no one can move him. So the eunuchs who followed Li Guang also ate it. This Wu Jing is a celebrity in front of Li Guang, and he is naturally not bad.
He went out of the palace this time on the order of Li Guang to go to Zhending Mansion to do business, but on the way back to Beijing, Wu Jing suddenly had a whim to inspect the people's situation, especially when he heard that all parts of Baoding Mansion were taking county exams, Wu Jing came to Qingdu County to see the examination room.
This guy doesn't actually know how to write and ink, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem, especially for fear that others will say that he has no talent. So after finishing his speech, he was forced to make a tour of the examination room.
Zhang Yong, as his little eunuch, naturally followed behind inch by inch. Although Chen Guangyao was very unhappy in his heart, he also had to force himself to squeeze out a smile and follow, and Yang Tong of that county was even more flattering and followed at the end.
Although Wu Jing is obese, he walks lightly and slowly, looking at this candidate's essay and that, nodding or shaking his head lightly from time to time, I don't know how he judged the candidate's composition.
turned around and turned to Yang Jinshan's side, at this time Yang Jinshan had finished copying all the two articles, and was looking down at his two articles.
Wu Jing stood beside him, looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed sharply, "Hehe! This person is not bad, he finished it early, and this article is not bad! Yes! Gyeongdu County is also a place full of talents! ”
Chen Guangyao looked at the table in front of Yang Jinshan and saw two articles on the table, the one written was ugly, crooked, and barely recognizable.
Seeing such words, where is Chen Guangyao still in the mood to read the content of the article? But since Wu Jing said it was good, he couldn't say anything, so he only nodded slightly, and dealt with it indiscriminately, "Well, it's really not bad!" ”
Yang Tong behind Chen Guangyao smiled beautifully, "Gonggong Wu has good eyesight, this person's articles are not bad, he is a genius in our entire Qingdu County, and his talent is very unusual!" ”
echoed, and then said, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, he is the villain's nephew, and the villain has taught him a lot on weekdays." ”
Wu Jing didn't take Yang Tong seriously, and he didn't even look at Yang Tong with his eyes.
Yes, how can a county leader in a poor small county get into his eyes?
But at this time, hearing Yang Tong say this, he couldn't help but look at Yang Tong, and happened to see Yang Tong's extraordinarily flattering face, and Wu Jing felt inexplicably satisfied.
"Huh! Yang Xiancheng's nephew will naturally not be bad, good! Very good! Wu Jing said.
Then he looked at Yue Shuzhen beside Yang Jinshan, and saw Yue Shuzhen sitting straight, writing very carefully, and couldn't help nodding and said, "And he's not bad, and he's almost done, so he thinks quickly!" However, our family always feels worse than Yang Xiancheng's nephew! ”
Wu Jing said this, others are nothing, but Yue Shuzhen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Where is this, where did a eunuch come from, he knows what a fart?
scolded like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, or even glance at Wu Jing.
Wu Jing walked a few more steps, and came to Zhou Zhi's side, Zhou Zhi was writing carefully, Wu Jing looked at it a little, and then turned his head, but Zhang Yong said softly, "Father-in-law, this person doesn't seem to be doing badly!" ”
