Chapter 5 The Palace Examination
In March, it was another sunny day. www.biquge.info Since Jin Yu made the golden silk clothes, after Mao Jue's publicity, he suddenly had the name of a genius.
You must know that this Dongwu Hou Wuren is an expert, and if you want to say that this march is a battle, it is an expert. But such a military general family has a great little poet.
Therefore, many talented poets who read this poem have a good opinion of this poem, so that in the past few days, Mao Jue has also run up and down to the Dongwu Marquis Mansion at every turn. There is no way, who told Jin Yu to go back to Mao's Mansion often to see, but as a result, he didn't come to the door for several days.
This makes Mao Jue and Old Man Mao anxious. So if you don't come, I'll take the initiative.
When Mao Jue came to the Dongwu Hou Mansion, Jin Changkong immediately came out to receive him, which was called a hospitality.
The husband and son-in-law came to the courtyard where Jin Yu practiced martial arts and made jade small buildings. I saw a young man sitting peacefully in the pavilion, dressed in white, looking at the edge of the pool with his eyes, leisurely looking at the fish playing in the water.
When Mao Jue saw it, he strolled over, touched his beard and said, "Xiao Yu, what are you looking at?" ”
Jin Yu came back from his contemplation, looked at his grandfather and father who were looking at him with a smile on his face, and replied, "Grandpa, the child looks at the fish swimming freely in the pool, and he is so envious. ”
"Silly boy, what is there to envy the fish." Jin Changkong, who was standing on the side, said speechlessly.
"What children envy is the life of fish, fish have been playing in the water all their lives, and they can live freely and carefree."
"I'm young, so I've thought a lot about it." Mao Jue pondered, "But Xiao Yu, you must know that the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, how can he only care about his own well-being." Now I seem to be peaceful, but in fact, there are many hidden dangers. Although the remnants of the Taiping have surrendered, but their wolf ambitions will sooner or later rebel again, the northern Wei State, the army is stationed in Jibei, and Jinan across the river, the two sides of the small friction continues, it is estimated that sooner or later there will be war. The east is close to the sea, although there is no war, but there are two tribes of Dongyi and Huailan, which are still not to be underestimated. So. Yu'er, you were born in the family of princes, you should be loyal to the king and serve the country, and when the world is peaceful in the future, it will be your time to enjoy yourself. ”
Jin Yu knew that his grandfather was a good courtier, and he had no intention of arguing with him, and said: "Grandpa, the child knows, so he wants to participate in the palace martial arts test next month." ”
The palace test is divided into the palace martial arts test and the palace literary test, and this palace martial arts test is a competition for the imperial court to select military generals from the children of the family.
Many people may think it's very unfair, but in Daqi. There is a system of "the title is not passed on", what is not passed on, that is, even if a person is a marquis and pays homage to the prime minister, after his death, the court will take back his title fief, and the successor can only inherit his property.
Therefore, it can be seen the importance of the palace examination, which can make it easier for the children of the family to be officials than those of the poor family.
The annual palace examination is held in early April, and all the children of officials who are of the third grade and above can participate in it at the age of 16.
And his second brother was selected in the palace trial, passed the test, and was finally favored by the Black and White Academy and recruited into it.
You know, the teachers in the Black and White School Palace are all well-known figures!
Take the current five tiger generals of Qi as an example, two of them are from the Black and White Academy, which shows the power of the Black and White Academy.
"If you have this heart, that's also excellent, it's also excellent to participate in this palace martial arts test so early to see if you can choose to be selected, and you can't choose to come back next year. Well... The palace martial arts test, why is it not the palace literature test? Mao Jue asked suspiciously.
Jin Changkong on the side knows that his little bastard hates to read, and in the past half a month, he has been practicing hard, and he is estimated to have already set his eyes on the palace martial arts.
Jin Yu replied: "Grandpa, you also said just now, now in Daqi, the war is breaking out. However, Wu can be an anbang, and Wen can set the country. So the child wants to be martial arts. ”
"However, if you take the literary examination with your talents, you will definitely be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, and you can also come to the Ministry of Rites in the future to help your grandfather and me."
Jin Yu pouted speechlessly, give you a hand, then I don't want to be killed by you, Jin Yu thought.
"Grandpa, you yourself said that there is a danger now, so the child must be more martial arts, and when the country and the people are safe in the future, the grandson will definitely drink with his grandfather here, and it is good to chat for a while!" Jin said respectfully.
The country of Qi will be ruined in the future, but Jin Yu knows it, so if he wants to protect everything about himself in the future, his little sapling must thrive and grow into a towering tree.
"Okay, grandson, you have such an ideal, and my grandfather is very pleased." As he spoke, Mao Jue patted Jin Yu's shoulder with a smile.
Jin Changkong looked at his son with a deep expression. I'm getting more and more incomprehensible, and I used to only know how to play tricks, but I seem to have grown up recently.
Sometimes Jin Changkong would also see Jin Yu's preoccupied face, such a man was something he had never seen before.
Although he became well-behaved and sensible in front of himself, doing so made Jin Changkong even more worried.
Although Jin Changkong is a martial artist, he is also a fierce general, otherwise he would not be able to do the position of the five tiger generals now.
It's just that no matter what he's worried about, even if the sky falls, he still has to stand up for him. Even if a heinous disaster comes in the future, I have to protect him.
Thinking about it, Jin Changkong couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes were even more resolute.
This is true, in the original history, the northern army was trapped in the Baiyun Valley, and the only hope of the whole army was to make a gap in the Wei army besieging them at the mouth of the valley. Then send a man to take advantage of the chaos to go out and ask for help.
Asking for help means escaping from the valley, and even if the time comes, you will be able to escape. And the person who was sent out to ask for help at that time was Jin Yu.
But in the end, Jin Yu was ambushed by Zheng Luo, and ten thousand arrows pierced his heart and died.
But it is not difficult to see that at the time of life and death, what makes Jin Changkong more concerned is this little son who has grown up by his side since he was a child and loves to cause trouble.
Just north of the Qi country, the distant Yan country. Since Liu Feituo ascended the throne, there has been a great change of blood among court officials, and the henchmen of the former crown prince Liu Feiheng have been vigorously suppressed and arrested.
Liu Feituo even set up the post of first assistant. What is the first assistant, which means the head of the civil and military officials, leading the ministers. That's really under one person, above ten thousand.
Although the inferiority of men and women on this Hongwu Dalu is not so serious, and excellent women can also enter the court as officials, but they are also a minority.
When Liu Feituo conferred the position of first assistant to An Yuexi and gave him the title of one word side by side, the entire government and the opposition were in turmoil.
There are still women in history who are good officials of the first grade, but in the history of the entire Yan Kingdom for more than 200 years, there has never been a king with a different surname.
Not to mention the word side by side. As the name suggests, it has a status comparable to that of Emperor Yan. It can be seen that Liu Feituo attaches great importance to An Yuexi.
It is not difficult to see that Liu Feituo has gone from a disgraced prince who was not canonized to the throne at the age of twenty-four, step by step, and in just two years, he has become the king of Ji who competes for power with the crown prince.
The master behind this is An Yuexi, and no one knows the origin of such a strange woman.
Side by side in the palace
In a spacious study, on a sandalwood chair, sat a thin and beautiful woman.
Under the light of the oil lamp, the woman was dressed in a black dress, which was long and dragged to the ground, and her thin waist was restrained by a cloud belt to highlight the lack of a hand, and her hair was combed into a bun with green silk, and an ordinary hairpin between her hair.
Danfeng's eyes are fresh and refined, but they are awe-inspiring, and their eyes are as bright as snow. The jade hand gently flipped through the music, and from time to time there was a coughing sound.
Standing next to her stood a middle-aged woman in her forties, with an average appearance but quite an aura.
Han Qiusu said worriedly on the side: "Lord, it's late at night, you've been tired all day, it's time to rest." ”
As he spoke, he put on a cloak for the beautiful woman, to say that it is now the spring equinox, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but the body of this beautiful woman is indeed cold and cold. It's strange to say.
"I know, but Aunt Qiu, you should know that there is really not much time left for me, and I really don't know how long this body can last." The woman whispered.
This beautiful woman is none other than Wang An Yuexi, who has been in the limelight in Yan Country recently.
After speaking, the woman continued to review the chapter, and Han Qiusu looked at the stubborn master, and could only silently stand aside.
It wasn't until late at night that An Yuexi finished her work and left the study.
