The four joys of life: a long drought and a rainy day, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, spending candles in the cave room, and the title of the gold list. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Di is not only nominated for the gold list, but also the first place, how can he not be happy?

Chen Di hurriedly took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to the newspaper as a reward.

When the old housekeeper heard that his master had won the first place, he was scared from the bed, covering his head and holding firecrackers, happy wine and happy noodles distributed to the neighbors.

The courtyard house of the Chen family had just experienced the disaster of being beheaded a few months ago, and now it is experiencing this great joy.

Xiaoqing and Xiaobai took out the jar of champion red, and Xiaoqing said to Chen Di: "Master, you are in high school, shouldn't you drink this jar of champion red today?" ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "The first place in the first class is only to be able to test the first place, and if you want to be called the champion, you must also get the first place in the palace test!" It's not too late to drink this wine when I try to win the championship in the palace! ”

Chen Di is now a bamboo in his chest. He knew that the Jiajing Dynasty's examination was to test the eight-share articles, and the palace examination was mostly to test poetry and songs. This is his strong point, he reads poetry books a lot, and he will definitely win the jackpot if he finds a good poem after the Jiajing Dynasty and steals it!

The palace examination of the Ming Dynasty must be personally examined by the emperor. Only those who can enter the gold list can participate in the temple examination. Candidates after the palace examination will be called "protégés of the Son of Heaven". The top three will be named "champion", "list eye" and "tanhua".

It was a breezy day, and a group of candidates who participated in the palace examination were waiting outside the palace gate. Chen Di is the first in the first class, so he naturally stands at the front of the candidates.

The candidates in the back whispered one after another. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I haven't seen a thirteen-year-old who will try to be the first to be the first one!

Father-in-law Lu Fang and Lv came to announce the edict, and a group of candidates entered the Qianqing Palace.

On the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Jiajing had already sat down. Although he even lived in the Wanshou Palace for a long time on weekdays to cultivate immortals, he still didn't dare to violate the rules of his ancestors when he tried this triennial ceremony.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the roster of the top three in front of him and asked Lu Fang: "This famous Chen Di, why am I so familiar?" ”

Lu Fang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Chen Di is the son of Chen Kezhen, who sacrificed his life for the country in the southeast to resist the Japanese!" Two months ago, the emperor summoned him to the Wanshou Palace. ”

Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be that thirteen-year-old boy!" I didn't expect him to be the first place to try! ”

Lu Fang lost no time in patting the sycophant: "The emperor is wise and wise, and God will naturally send young talents to assist the emperor." ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Where is Chen Di?" ”

His Royal Highness Chen Di hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Chen Di entered the palace two months ago, and he had no fame and could only call himself a grass citizen. But now that he has a meritorious reputation, he can naturally call himself a minister.

Jiajing Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "Haha, you young man, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Sure enough, it's a young man! Thirteen-year-old first-class name, you are the first in the entire Ming Dynasty! ”

During the palace examination, the civil officials above the fourth rank in Beijing, the military attaché above the third rank, and the relatives above the viscount must be present.

Yan Song was standing in the middle of Wenchen's class, and he knelt down when he came out of class: "My Emperor Shengming, this thirteen-year-old boy has won the first place, which is the auspicious omen that God has given me the Ming Dynasty!" This is the emperor's blessing of respecting heaven and loving the people! ”

A group of ministers also responded: "My emperor is sage! ”

Shoufu Zhai Luan was uncomfortable.

It's time for Emperor Jiajing to come up with exam questions.

He thought about it on the dragon chair and said, "It's early autumn, and the chrysanthemums in Yongshou Palace bloomed overnight last night, so you will compose poems with chrysanthemums as the theme." ”

A few young fathers-in-law distributed pen and paper to hundreds of candidates.

If it is said that the test will be the foundation accumulated by the scholars for ten years, then the test in this hall is the urgency of the candidates.

Two pillars of incense, and the little father-in-law began to rewind.

Emperor Jiajing personally read the papers, and when he read an exam paper, he said hello three times in a row.

Emperor Jiajing said to Lu Fang: "Lu Fang, you read it to them." ”

Lu Fangwen read angrily: "Jiachen meets the high platform again, and the pergola laughs and pours gold." The autumn color of the cigarette stall is playing, and the wind provokes the fragrance of chrysanthemum infinitely. After leaving the chaos today, and seeking happiness is just the decline of Yushan. Who knows the current events of the Jing Festival, and the song of empty learning is reversed! ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "How about Zhong Aiqing? ”

The emperor has said that it is good, how dare the civil and military officials and nobles say it is not good? They said in unison, "Good! ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "What's even more rare is that the person who made such a good poem turned out to be Chen Di, a thirteen-year-old boy!" It's really the blessing of the ancestors, and the Ming Dynasty has sent down such a young talent! I want to point him to be the champion, what do you think? ”

Zhai Luan came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, although Chen Di has outstanding talent, he won the name of the champion at a young age, which is not necessarily a good thing for him. It is necessary to know that Fang Zhongyong's story has been passed down for hundreds of years. The minister saw that the emperor pointed out that he was a fellow jinshi, which could motivate him to continue to study hard. When you reach adulthood, you will be able to go further. ”

Fang Zhongyong, mentioned by Zhai Luan, is a person from the Northern Song Dynasty. This person has no teacher, and he can write poems when he is young, which shakes the township and becomes famous. Its specialty is "pointing to things to make poems". In order to see the demeanor of the "prodigy poet", the city invited Fang Zhongyong and his father to the city as guests, and some people were even willing to pay Fang Zhongyong's father a few copper coins for this.

Fang Zhongyong was sought after every day when he was young, and he never read poetry anymore when he grew up. Eventually, he became a farmer.

Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty also wrote an article called "Hurt Zhongyong", which is about the story of Fang Zhongyong.

Zhai Luan mentioned Fang Zhongyong at this time, seemingly for Chen Di's good, but in fact, he was afraid that Chen Di would become the champion and lose face in front of Yan Song.

Yan Song disagreed: "Zhai Shoufu's words are wrong. That Fang Zhongyong wrote poems with a pen, and he was self-taught! But he hadn't read the Four Books and the Five Classics at all! Chen Di is different, he has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he has his own unique views on the way of Confucius and Mencius! The fact that he was able to come out on top in the examination is the best proof of this! If a thirteen-year-old boy becomes the champion, it will definitely be called a good story that has been passed down through the ages! ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "I look at Yan Cifu's words seem to be more reasonable. Zhai Shoufu seems to be overwhelmed! If a young talent like Chen Di doesn't become a champion, then there is no second person in my Ming Dynasty who has this qualification! ”

Emperor Jiajing turned his head to Zhai Luan and said, "Proposed purpose!" ”

The decree of the Ming Dynasty was drawn up by the cabinet scholars themselves, and then handed over to the emperor to wear red. After the whole process is completed, the holy decree is considered a legitimate holy decree.

Usually, what the emperor said is not called a holy decree, but only an edict.

What a big deal it is to appoint the champion, Emperor Jiajing can't use the edict to announce to the world, he can only issue a holy decree.

Emperor Jiajing said again: "I appointed Chen Di as 。。。。。。 ”

Chen Di, who was kneeling under His Royal Highness, was ecstatic, and he was going to do it。。。。。。 Is it the champion?

At this moment, one of the civil officials came out of the class and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the king have a good performance!"
