The three of them were sent to the noon gate by the three auxiliary political university scholars, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites greeted them again in the morning, personally sent the three tripod armor, and swaggered out to the main gate of Chengtianmen, and the Jinshi accompanied them on the official road on the left...... Silent in the center, Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin followed on the left and right, and the three of them walked on the imperial road that only the emperor could walk. Needless to say, they will not walk on this road for the second time in their lives, so under the leadership of Shen Mo, the three of them walked very slowly, thinking about their own thoughts.

Zhao Zhenji turned back a few times, but it was not easy to urge, after all, if life is compared to a dream, then for readers, what the three of them have experienced now is the most beautiful and exciting part of this dream.

It is human nature to be reluctant to wake up from good dreams. So Zhao Shangshu slowed down and walked in front slowly.

Until the Chengtian Gate, I saw that a shed had been erected, and the Jinshi gold list was hung in the shed, and there were already two county orders of Shuntianfu Jingzhaoyin and Daxing and Wanping, respectively, holding a bright silver without miscellaneous hair, wearing red and hanging colors, waiting under the list.

Shuntianfu Yin changed the red flower on his head to gold for silence, and then draped him with red; The two county orders are also concocted for Bangyan and Tanhua. The costume has been completed, Jing Zhaoyin personally handed the horse whip to the champion, and the two county orders handed the whip to the Bangyan and Tanhua, and helped the three people to get on the horse.

There are also a pair of 'Lianzhong Liuyuan', a pair of 'champion and the first' flag, a pair of green fans, a red umbrella, and gongs and drums to line up. Blowing a lot, I went out to Chengtianmen and arrived on Chang'an Street.

The atmosphere suddenly changed from solemn to lively, and I saw that the wide Chang'an Avenue was crowded with men, women and children watching the excitement. If it weren't for the middle of the road, guarded by the soldiers of the Shuntian Mansion, I'm afraid it would really be impassable.

Just when the people in the street were looking forward to it, suddenly the drums were playing. In the festive music, two rows of Han generals escorted two officials of the Ministry of Rites wearing red and flowers, and slowly walked out carrying the dragon gold list. This gold list was escorted by the Ministry of Rites, accompanied by all the Jinshi, who came out of the middle of the noon gate and walked slowly on Chang'an Street.

The legendary 'Imperial Street Boasting Official' ceremony has begun! The three proud sons of heaven rode on bright silver high-headed horses, and accepted the admiration and cheers of the people on Chang'an Street. This is almost the most enthusiastic celebration of the people in Beijing, because the leap from a humble scholar to a new champion is the best inspirational story in itself, and it is always loved by the people.

And this year's Sanding Jia is so young and handsome, and the world loves the curtain young, so it is naturally more enthusiastic and excited than in previous years. And this excitement, after seeing the 'Lianzhong Liuyuan' card, has reached the boiling point. Men, women, and children, frenzied and screaming, threw the petals of flowers in the basket to him. Those petals were blown by the wind and fluttered on the heavenly street, and the three people who were even more reflected seemed to be gods descending from heaven.

This is exactly what was said to be dirty and not enough to boast in the past, and now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and I see all the Chang'an flowers.

Under the sound of firecrackers and loud blowing, the team of champions and officials came out of Zuo Chang'an Gate, except for Sanding Jia, the rest of the Jinshi were led to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, ready to participate in the Qionglin banquet.

And the three of them continued to march through the street of the Ministry of War, went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and entered the Kuixing Hall in the Literature and Anthology Division and the Seeking Talents Section to offer incense. After the ceremony, ride out of the front door again, and make incense in Guanyin Temple and Guandi Temple. Then he returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, in addition to the same year of the bachelor's degree, all the gentlemen of the Dingjia in the past were all in front of the yamen, well-dressed, and welcomed the upstarts. The three of them gave three bows to each of the seniors, and then sat down in order in the main hall, and the royal gift Qionglin banquet began.

After a short sit and toast, the seniors got up to say goodbye, silently led the crowd to send out in the same year, and after coming back, the delicacies were listed, and the drums were noisy, and they enjoyed the glory of today.

The good news of six yuan in silence soon spread throughout the capital, which is indeed a great auspicious time, so that people who have not heard the good news for a long time are jubilant, and the government and the opposition celebrate together. In the streets and alleys, the flow of people is like a tide, and the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers from all over the country resounded in the sky.

Even the Jinyi Guard Yamen, who has always cried ghosts and howling wolves, made an exception and put a few whips, and the Metropolitan Governor also ordered that you can drink wine at the noon meeting to celebrate.

But when the banquet was set, the Jinyi Guard officers couldn't find their Dadu Governor, and when they were looking at each other, Zhu Shisan said: "Dadu Governor said that he has something to do temporarily and can't come, so everyone can eat and drink well." ”

Everyone shouted 'It's a pity', and it was inevitable to guess what the Metropolitan Governor was doing, and he was rarely absent from the banquet.

In fact, Lu Bing was not on a business trip, he changed out of the unique golden python robe, put on an ordinary scholar's suit, accompanied by a few henchmen, twisted and turned, almost half of Yanjing City, and then arrived at the destination of this trip, the prison of the Criminal Department.

With a waist card from He Ao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lu Bing and his party smoothly entered the deep and dirty prison, twisted and turned, and arrived outside a solitary cell in the deepest part.

Raising his hand to rebuke Suihu, Lu Bing slowly walked in, as if he was afraid of waking up the people sleeping inside.

But I still woke up, only to hear a deep voice: "It's early to deliver food today!" ”

Hearing this voice, Lu Bing choked up a little and said, "Sir......"

The man was stunned when he heard this, turned his head, and revealed a face with messy beard, and he could vaguely see that it was the former Jinyi Guard experience officer who had been imprisoned for a year, Shen Lian!

Shen Lian looked at it fixedly, and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor is here, what unhappy things have you encountered?" ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said excitedly: "No, it's a good thing," he said and took a deep breath and said, "Mr. can be released from prison." ”

"What?" Shen Lian was stunned for a moment and said, "Yan Song has fallen? ”

"That's not ......" Lu Bing smiled and said: "But your noble protégé, silent and clumsy, even won six yuan, and became the most powerful champion of this dynasty!" He danced excitedly, saying, "According to the custom, if a son wins the first prize, he can forgive his father's sins; Now that he is clumsy and angry, he will write a letter tonight, asking His Majesty to help you with this example of mercy and acquit you, and Your Majesty will definitely agree! ”

He didn't hesitate to offend Teacher Li Mo, but he also wanted to help Shen Mo finalize the champion, for this matter!

But Shen Lian was only happy for a while when he heard that his apprentice was the champion, and then he regained his composure and said, "Please tell my apprentice that he is fine, but I won't go out, don't write that thing." ”

"Why?" Lu Bing frowned and persuaded: "You have already written to impeach Yan Song and completed your mission, why do you want to stay in prison?" ”

"I haven't done my job yet." Shen Lian shook his head slowly and said, "I can't go out until it's finished." ”

"What else do you have to do?" Lu Bing said in disbelief.

Shen Lian raised his head, his face was very haggard, but his eyes were extremely bright: "Everything is over, just one death." ”

"Just one death?" Lu Bing was surprised.

"Like the ancient swordsmith, I must use my own life to forge this sword that slays and destroys evil." Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, it is not enough to revive the morale of the rivers and rivers since the Great Rites Discussion, and the morale of the light and dust is not enough to reconnect the broken backbone of Shilin!" These words directly allude to Emperor Jiajing, but fortunately, the current audience is Lu Bing.

Lu Bing shook his head again and again, and thought for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Even if this thing is necessary, you can't do it." ”

Shen Lian said lightly: "Why? ”

"You may not know it, but your students are silent, and they are doing a great job!" Lu Bing said softly: "Long before he didn't win the champion, he was already a Zhejiang patrol, and he was Jane's courtier in the emperor's heart; Now he has become the unprecedented Shen Liushou, and he is the future humerus that His Majesty is bent on cultivating. Seeing Shen Lian's listening look, Lu Bing continued to advocate: "I have read both of his exam papers, and he has indeed proposed an ingenious way to solve the financial problems of the imperial court without touching too much. If it is said in time, such a character must be the key to ZTE Daming! He said with a painful face: "Sir, even if he is not your student, can you bear to ruin this hope of the Ming Dynasty?" "In order to convince Shen Lian, he pulled Shen Mo to the height of 'Imperial Hope'.

Shen Lian's stubborn face finally sank, and he slowly lowered his head.

Seeing that there was a door, Lu Bing hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The honorific titles of the emperors of my dynasty have a word of filial piety, which is to show that my Ming Dynasty is based on filial piety. How to establish a foothold in Shilin? I'm afraid no one wants to be with him! This is basically true, but a bit exaggerated.

Shen Lian sat expressionless for a long time and said, "Then I'll hang myself now, it's all right?" ”

"That clumsy phrase is 'rescue is not good.'" Lu Bing sighed and said: "Others will say that he didn't take the master to heart and rescued him early, why would this be the result?" ”

Being bombarded by him for a while, Shen Lian finally collapsed, lay down on the bed, and said dejectedly: "Okay...... I'm going out to ......"
