More than 2,000 people slowly gathered in Beijing, waiting for the highest-level examination presided over by the Ministry of Rites, which determined the transition from civilian to official...... As long as you get a jinshi, you are called "Shi Brown", and from then on, you can get rid of the identity of the common people and become a member of the most elite group in this huge empire.

From a child to a show is a small transformation, from a show to a person is another transformation, and there is no doubt that from a person to a jinshi is the biggest and final transformation.

If you want to make a name for yourself in history, or if you want to make a career, this exam can be decided.

At this time in March, even if it is far away in Hainan, the lifting people are also rushed to the Beijing Division, and the exam is about to start, and you can see people swaggering through the market everywhere with a long companion, at this time, there are still people who are studying hard, although more people have thrown their books aside, and pay more attention to managing interpersonal relationships.

Kong Minxing is Xu Guangqi's disciple, with such an identity, of course he doesn't need to deliberately manage his connections, but he doesn't look for people, but others keep coming to him.

"Went to 'eat dreams' again today?"

Xu Guangqi raised his head from the pile of papers, the old man had gray hair, but his eyes were still very clear, he was looking at Kong Minxing and smiling.

"Yes, Master Mingjian." Kong Minxing did have some alcohol smell on his body, he had already changed his robe, but the smell was still obvious. He said with some distress: "In the last few days, everyone has gone a little crazy. ”

"This reminds the old man of what happened back then." Xu Guangqi stroked his beard and smiled: "I also came here like this back then, and I am also the most active one!" ”

Kong Minxing didn't expect Shizun to say such a thing, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment.

"Eat dreams...... Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Except for those who are not close to people like Chu Yang, who can be exempt from vulgarity?" One is to relax before the exam, and the other is to get closer to each other in the same year, so that more people will help you in the future. In officialdom, it is not that you can succeed if you are reasonable, and personal connections are also very important......"

Kong Minxing has some signs, his teacher used to talk to him about some knowledge and the way of life, but today it is the first time to talk to him about officialdom.

Sun Yuanhua on the side snorted slightly, but he didn't dare to refute, after all, the master spoke and did not have the share of a junior like him to refute.

The so-called "eating dreams" is also a tradition of the Beijing master to raise people, when the exam, everyone invites friends together, together to the restaurant to drink, the account is hung and not knotted, to be the bookkeeper in someone in the jinshi, when the time is settled by the jinshi together, or the identity of the person can be exempted.

The people of the Zhongjin Shi are proud, they don't care about a little wine account silver, and those who have never been in the middle have also been wanton and wild and chic, and they will make up for the lost emotions.

Kong Minxing smiled and said: "The person who invented this method must have failed many times, otherwise he would never have thought of such a method." Others were very happy at the banquet, and the disciple was not good at drinking, and he didn't like to be lively, but he was restless. ”

"You have to change your temperament." Xu Guangqi said: "Your knowledge, Sanding Jia dare not say, the second list must be in sight, then Hanlin can be expected, even if the second list is behind, it can also be a positive seal, if in the locality, you want to deal with the gentry, what should you do with this kind of temperament?" If there is no support from the gentry and the big households, how will your local officials spread it? ”

Kong Minxing bowed his head and said, "The disciple knows that he is wrong. ”

"It's also your natural instinct." Xu Guangqi sighed and said, "I know that you are in the most comfortable situation at the same time, but after all, it is not the right path......

After being taught a lesson by Xu Guangqi, Kong Minxing and Sun Yuanhua quit together.

Sun Yuanhua was holding several books in his hand, Kong Minxing glanced at them, and saw that they were all geometric drawings, and he smiled: "What, what are your plans recently?" ”

Sun Yuanhua said: "The plan is to add, delete and supplement the "Principles of Geometry", which is also what the teacher explained. ”

"Did you take office?" Kong Minxing asked casually.

Sun Yuanhua said indifferently: "I have reported to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has been in chaos recently, and no one has noticed that I, the secretary who has just taken office, is just idle." ”

"The first sun can't think like that." Kong Minxing said with a straight face: "You went to the military department because Sun Gebu single-handedly facilitated, and he plans to ask you to help him in the future." ”

Sun Chengzong's call for Liaodong to pass through Liaodong is getting louder and louder, mainly because the strategy proposed by Wang Zaijin is too unpopular.

Wang Zaijin reversed the Liaodong strategy before the Ming Dynasty, and formally proposed to abandon the land outside the Guan, and use the saved food and salary to repair the defense of the first line of Shanhaiguan, and at the same time, he could also use grain to fill the Jizhen and Xuanda defense lines, and after the defense line was repaired, a lot of food and salary could be saved, and then more elite soldiers could be trained to enrich the nine sides, in order to restore Liaodong in the future.

Only a small number of people agree with this plan, and the vast majority of people, including officials and ordinary people, are very opposed to this plan, and even disgusted it.

"I'm not going to let Zan paint." Sun Yuanhua said: "Sun Gebu also thinks that my next goal is the Ministry of Staff, and my knowledge is also the most suitable there. ”

"When will Sun Gebu leave Beijing?"

"I'll be gone in a while." Sun Yuanhua said: "I also followed this time, of course, Mao Zhisheng also followed." ”

"It seems that Zhisheng is going to be transferred to a general."

"The general position is not bad. Sun Gebu played a month ago, first of all, he said that he wanted to re-enforce the power of the generals, and the ministers could not interfere in everything, so that the generals of Liaozhen would have more power, and it would not be bad if they were appointed generals. ”

Kong Minxing shook his head lightly and said, "Sun Gebu has taken this matter for granted...... Liaoxi will be intertwined, originally the tail is not big, now the wealth is allocated to Liaoxi, and then the general's power, I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later in the future. ”

Sun Yuanhua disagreed, and said, "How can it be? The country has always used literature to control the military, and the emphasis on general power is not a matter of strategy and supervision. If there is Sun Gebu as the governor of Jiliao or Jingluo, which general dares to make trouble? ”

"Now they are attached to Wang Zaijin, I heard that Ling Zu Dashou built a military fort, but he has not seen success for several months, and he is obviously delaying."

Sun Yuanhua snorted coldly and said, "These martial artists, Enjie must be enknoted, but they have to be beaten up!" ”

The two of them had nothing to say at this point, Kong Minxing was about to say goodbye, Sun Yuanhua suddenly pointed ahead, and said with a smile: "A few acquaintances came." ”

There are several "acquaintances", all of them have high noses and deep eyes, their hair is either brown or golden, or red, and the group wears gray robes with a belt around their waists, looking simple and simple, and they are also very tall and tall, walking in the market, attracting the attention of many people and onlookers.

The residents of Jingshi were disdainful of those onlookers, and some muttered: "Look at it, what is strange, it's just the red-haired monk in the South Hall." ”

"So this is the Red Hairy."

"Taixi is here, I heard that there are dozens of small countries over there, and it will take half a year to sail to my Daming realm, and it is difficult for them to come across the ocean."

"This is to say that people have something special, I heard that the Fran cannon and the Hongyi cannon are all made by these Taixi people, and I have imitated them again."

"Utensils and arithmetic, as well as calendars, are all good at these Tessie people."

"It's all a little gossip ...... that doesn't go into the stream"

"You can't say that, although people's knowledge is not a holy way, but they can go to my Ming Dynasty, can make a strong ship cannon, can be proficient in arithmetic, and calendar, they can't be underestimated."

"I heard that Xu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites has entered the ...... of these Taixi monks."

"There's nothing wrong with that, I just worship when I meet a Buddha, and burn incense when I have it."

"Haha, you're insincere, it's useless......"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, a few of Taixi's missionaries were still walking steadily, and even a little leisurely.

These people also saw Sun Yuanhua, and they all came over slowly, and they actually waved their hands, and a middle-aged man at the beginning smiled at Sun Yuanhua: "I've seen Master Sun." ”

"John Tang, you're squeezing me." Sun Yuanhua scolded with a smile: "The secretary of the Ministry of War is also an official?" ”

"Da Ming's official position can not be neglected." Tang Ruowang said with a serious face: "From now on, we should have more respect for adults." ”

The Taixi people around Tang Ruowang were also average, and they saluted Sun Yuanhua very seriously.

Sun Yuanhua put away the smile on his face, he felt that people respected Daming's official position, not himself.

"Where are you going?" Sun Yuanhua asked Tang Ruowang: "No matter how you feel, you have a sad face." ”

"Yes......" John Tong said, "These people around me are all missionaries of our Jesus, this is Peter, this is Joshua, and this is Frederick, they were originally all missionaries in Nanjing, and recently they were expelled from Nanjing, so they had to come to Beijing to join us." However, the local Nantang can't accommodate too many people, and we are a little worried. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yuanhua said coldly: "I have heard about the matter in Nanjing, and my mentor is trying to solve this matter, but the distance between the north and the south is too far, and this matter will always be delayed for several months." ”

Kong Minxing had also heard about it, and these priests in Nanjing didn't know which bigwig they had offended, so they were found to be named and closed the church, and the priests were all thrown out.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was very tolerant of missionary matters, and Nan Huairen and Tang Ruowang and others in Beijing could preach to the palace, and it was rumored that the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang were both interested in the doctrines of Catholicism, and later some missionaries were far-fetched, saying that the emperor of China also believed in the Holy Religion, which is nonsense.

The incident in Nanjing is one of the earliest lesson plans in China, but unlike the Qing Dynasty, no one was killed or imprisoned, and the priests did not seek help from their mother country or the Jesu Society, nor could they have a warship to support them, these priests only came to the Ming Dynasty to plead and ask for help. 、
