The recent liveliness of Bianliang City is no less than that of the New Year's Day, one of which is the ranking of the palace examination in the spring of this year, which is a major event in the Great Song Dynasty to win scholars with literature, which is naturally a sensation; The second is the performance of the two plays of "Liang Zhu" and "The Legend of the White Snake", which are different from the previous art performance forms, which shocked the Song people and caused a sensation in Bianliang as soon as they came out.

It was the spring season of previous years, and it was not as lively as this year.

Let's not mention the drama first, let's first say that after the imperial court released the palace test rankings, there are a series of follow-up ceremonies, of course, they are all joyful ceremonies, which are not only the happy events of every student, but also the happy events of Biyong, and the happy events of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

A few days after the release of the imperial court, the new Jinshi of the Zhenghe Eighth Year Palace Examination went to Taixue and received Jinshi scarf clothes. At present, Lotte is busy planning theatrical performances, and has nothing to do with these Jinshi who have made the list, and when he returns to Biyong, he can only see these people on the list wearing Jinshi uniforms and swaggering in Biyong.

However, it is impossible to say that it has no relationship, after all, everyone is a classmate. As a classmate, Lotte gave each person a ticket to the Baokang Bridge as a congratulatory gift, which is not worth mentioning, but it is really gratifying. Moreover, although Lotte is a member of Biyongsheng, he has some identities, and those who know the details of Lotte know that Lotte once had the official position of a seven-rank military attaché, but no one dares to despise it.

After receiving the Jinshi scarf clothes, and one day later, the Golden Palace Ceremony was held.

"The Golden Palace" is a supreme honor for scholars. People compare Zhongjinshi to "carp jumping over the dragon gate". Once the "Yellow List" is inscribed, it will be worth a hundred times, and high-ranking officials will come one after another.

The new Jinshi wore Jinshi scarf uniforms, neatly lined up into the palace, and went to the Daqing Hall to meet the Son of Heaven. After the roll call was completed, the deacons held the gold list in the sound of drums, and the new branch jinshi followed behind, and officially hung the gold list along the left gate of the royal street for the people to watch. However, Kaifeng Mansion sent the champion to ride a horse with an umbrella cover, which is the rumor in the mouth of the people and the drama sang in the rumors and dramas in front of the street to praise the official.

On the second day, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet in Piyong, which was called the Wenxi banquet and was also called the Qionglin banquet.

The Qionglin banquet was held for the new champion of the Son of Heaven after the palace examination, which began in the Song Dynasty. When Song Taizu had a system, after the palace test, the emperor announced the rank of Dengke Jinshi, and gave a banquet to celebrate, the banquet was in the royal garden Qionglin Garden in the west of the city, two years ago, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were all in Qionglin Garden, so it was called the Qionglin Banquet. After the second year of Zhenghe, the place where Emperor Huizong gave the banquet was changed to be held in Biyong.

If the banquet is given in Qionglin Yuan, it is okay, Lotte and these fallen students don't care too much, but Emperor Huizong just changed the place of the banquet to Biyong, and now the official family is going to be fortunate in Piyong, these fallen students naturally want to cheer up and go out to meet and greet them.

It is said that on this day, Emperor Huizong was fortunate to give a banquet, only to see all the Tai students standing solemnly, Wang Ang, Zhao Kai and other three people stood at the head of the Jinshi, which was the top of the list. The guard of honor of the forbidden army flew the five-color flag, and the civil and military officials stood aside.

In the whole ceremony to welcome the Son of Heaven, these students who have not ascended to the first place are the green leaves that accompany the Jinshilang, and after the completion of the welcoming ceremony, they will become passers-by A, B, C, D and return to the Zhaishatong, and the Jinshilang people eat the Qionglin feast, and these fallen students can't even see it.

In the eighth year of Zhenghe, there were 783 Jinshi, and Biyong and Taixue totaled more than 3,600 people, and the rate of taking scholars was 5 to 1.

At the end of the drive, the six of them returned to the house, and Xie Chang and the others all looked sighing, their eyes flashing with envy for Dengke Jinshi, and flickering with the loss after falling. As for Lotte who didn't participate in the Spring Festival, he didn't care at all, but just comforted everyone.

Xie Chang sighed: "Next time, we will have to wait for another three years, and Biyong's promotion to the middle house and the middle house to the upper house are stricter than the scientific examination." ”

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and then the door of the house was pushed open, and a voice that was neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang came: "Which is Lotte, come with our family to the emperor!" ”

Xie Chang and the others were shocked, and they all looked at Lotte, and then looked out, only to see two yellow gate officials dressed in the clothes of eunuchs in the palace standing at the door.

"The students are!" Rakuten takes a step forward.

The Huangmen official who came to deliver the message urged again: "Hurry up and clean up, the emperor wants to see you!" ”

Lotte, who had just greeted the emperor, naturally didn't want to pack up anything, and walked out of the fast house under the surprised eyes of the five Xie Chang.

Except for the difference in the place chosen first, there is no difference between the banquet and the banquet Qionglin, but how many times have I been to this Biyong canteen, but I don't think it's anything unusual.

The protagonist has such a few words as the Son of Heaven who is responsible for the banquet review, the Ministry of Rites who is responsible for the roll call and singing, and the Dasheng Mansion where the Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of Yale, and once again there are these seven hundred and eighty-three Jinshilang. As for the other civil and military officials, although they are not the protagonists, they all have to be present to play soy sauce.

The seats of the Jinshi banquet are arranged according to the ranking of the imperial examination, ten people are in a column, from the first class to the second class seven are in a row, and the second class eight to the second class seventeen are in the second column, and each person is arranged in front of a small case, on which are placed all kinds of food and imperial wine given by the emperor. Lotte, who was walking, swept his eyes over the group of Dengke juzi, and saw Jiawang Zhao Kai sitting in the position of the leader.

At present, the Dengke Jinshi were also secretly surprised in their hearts, and before the feast had started, the emperor paused, and I don't know why.

While leading Lotte, the inner stay teaches the etiquette of Lotte's audience.

Lotte's figure appeared in the Biyong Canteen and immediately attracted countless eyes. Zhao Kai, the king of Najia, also set his eyes on Lotte, and squeezed his eyes at Lotte.

Counting, this is not the first time Lotte has seen Emperor Huizong, the last time Lotte hid in Master Li's drunken apricot building, and there were pavilions separated by no clear self, under the guidance of the inner servant, Lotte came to Huizong in front of the Yellow Gate official according to the explanation of the Yellow Gate, bowed and said: "Student Lotte knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that Lotte has a long figure, a handsome face, a well-behaved and talented person, and speaks crisp and loud, Huizong was secretly happy in his heart and said: "You are the Lotte who has come out of the main vocabulary collection of Peach Blossom Nunnery and recently made a two-act drama in Beijing?" ”

It is said that the ancient emperor's palace tried to take scholars, in addition to literary talents, appearance is also very important, as the saying goes, there is no first martial arts, there is no second, the world's students are not much different in knowledge, and it has become a means of the emperor to take the scholars, if you have time, you can find the portraits of the champions of the past dynasties, these champions are probably handsome guys.

Lotte hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the students think that poetry is just a small way compared to Moyi, and as for the words, the drama is just a student's own amusement in their leisure time!" ”

Emperor Huizong's face did not show joy or anger, and he asked again: "Why don't you participate in this year's Spring Festival, is it because you have no confidence?" ”

Lotte hurriedly made an excuse and said: "If you return to Your Majesty, the student can still justify the scriptures and righteousness; As for the strategy, the students are still young, and they are new to Piyong, and they are not familiar with human accidents, so they are not very sure, so they dare not put pen to paper, so as not to make people laugh and be generous. ”

Regarding Lotte's noncommittal words, Emperor Huizong's gaze swept left and right, fell on Dr. Biyong Yitaixue, and asked, "How is the result of the private examination in this life?" ”

Dr. Taichang hurriedly took the roster in his hand, inquired carefully, and then said: "This student is only a member of the Taixue Dynasty this year, and he has only tried to test the scriptures and righteousness privately, and he is rated as superior!" ”

"Jingyi is rated as superior." Emperor Huizong was a little surprised, it is naturally rare for new tribute students to be rated as high-class, and asked with Lotte: "I will try your scriptures in public today to see if you can answer?" ”

Lotte didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bow down and say, "Please ask Your Majesty to ask the question!" ”

Emperor Huizong pondered for a moment, and after a while, he said: "Zi said: 'The Tao is governed by government, and all are punished, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. Today, you will write an article with me with 'Tao of Virtue'! ”

"Yes!" Lotte responded, and at the same time began to try to recall this scripture meaning, and slowly thought about it, this scripture is from the "Analects of Politics", the article on this topic Chen Zhixian also gave himself at the beginning, and there are several scripture articles that he still remembers clearly.

Hearing the proposition, the Jinshi of Dengke at the Qionglin banquet were also thinking about what to do with this sentence of "morality".

After pretending to think deeply, Le Tiancai said slowly: "Don't be a villain if you forbid it, you will be a gentleman with it, and you will be a gentleman with the same meaning." The world is the one who is kind, and it is unbearable. And this unbearable heart is enough to prove that the heavens are good in the grass.

The law is established to avoid it, and it is followed by the body, and its feelings are the same but shallow and deep. Those who have deep love in the world cannot forget their ears. And this view that cannot be forgotten has been sufficiently indoctrinated in Datong.

……

…… If I have the wisdom of guilt, and my heart will eventually gain guilt, I will not be at ease. And the idea of cultivating energy is very strong. ”

After explaining the scriptures, Lotte couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, his ability to memorize was good, and he memorized the scriptures and arguments that Chen Zhixian gave him, otherwise he really didn't know how to answer Emperor Huizong's questions today.

"Well explained!" Listening to Lotte's rapping lecture on the scriptures, Huizong nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the ministers, and finally his eyes fell on Cai Xu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said: "Cai Aiqing, you are the champion of Chongning in the fifth year of the Bingxu Branch, how do you think the scriptures and meanings of this life are explained?" ”

Cai Xue came out of class and bowed: "When the minister listened to this article, he only felt that Hao Hao fell and went straight out of his chest. Not for the emasculation of the world, but the brilliance is irrepressible. When it is considered a masterpiece, it can be rated as superior! ”

Emperor Huizong's eyes swept over and fell on the body of an old man in his seventies, and said: "Huang Shang Aiqing, Qing is the top of the five-year Jinshi list of Yuanfeng, and he also came to comment on how he made this scripture in this life?" ”

Yellow clothes?

Hearing this name, Lotte was slightly shocked, and he still remembered that the author of the Nine Yin True Scripture in the Legend of the Condor Heroes was Huang Shang, could it be the old man in front of him? Lotte took a closer look at the old man named Huangsheng and saw that he didn't look like the legendary martial arts master at all.

But Lotte guessed right, this yellow dress is the other yellow dress, Emperor Weizong is good Taoist, and once ordered Huang Zhang to rescue and protect a number of Taoist classics, and the Nine Yin True Scripture is impressively listed.

This old man Huang came out of class and replied: "Qiqi Sheng, when the minister heard about this volume, he only used the eight characters of 'Tian Yin Secret Chant, and repeatedly do not say anything', which can be rated as superior!" ”

One is the top of the Jinshi list of Yuanfeng for five years, and the other is the champion of Chongning for five years, and the two of them commented on the article recited by Lotte, and the article is naturally good.

Hearing the two of them commenting like this, Emperor Huizong nodded his praise and said, "Jingyi is rated as superior, and I have to test your strategy!" ”
