Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Champion (I)
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Liu Fan was shopping last night...... No, it was when I was visiting the painting boat, the Da Chu Palace hidden in the dark, the hazy palace lights flickered slightly, the sky after the rain was exceptionally clear, the stars and the moon were in the sky, and a piece of moonlight was quietly sprinkled in the warm pavilion through the panes.

There were not too many lights here, Xiang Jingwu sat on the imperial chair, and in front of him were the results of the palace examination drawn up by the eight paper readers.
Although the palace test is arbitrary, it also has its set of rules, on the surface, it seems that the emperor personally arranges the results, but this is only the surface, the emperor and the old man have every opportunity, how can they have the effort to list all the three, six, nine, etc., after all, there are more than a hundred tribute students, to put it ugly, I am afraid that among so many people, there are not many names that Xiang Jingwu can remember.
Therefore, often after the palace examination, the examiner will draw up a result after consultation, submit it to Xiang Jingwu, and then Xiang Jingwu will approve it.
Of course, if Xiang Jingwu is not satisfied, he can go back and let them redraft.
This report card obviously made Xiang Jingwu a little dissatisfied, he looked at it gloomily, put it aside, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Zhang Kang." ā
Zhang Kang was on duty today, stepped forward, and said, "The slave is here." ā
Xiang Jingwu said quietly: "I ask you, who do you think I have the best answer to the test questions?" ā
This is related to the Cai Da Ceremony, but it is not something that Zhang Kang can ask, and now when it comes to the question, Zhang Kang muttered very cautiously before saying: "The slave doesn't know." ā
Some things can be said, some things must not be said nonsense, Zhang Kang abides by this rule, and he does not dare to exceed a single cent.
Xiang Jingwu sneered: "It's not that you don't know, but you don't dare to know, but it's a good thing that you can be so cautious." ā
Zhang Kang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiang Jingwu sighed again, put his hand on the imperial case, and said slowly: "Xuanyu has seen through me, now the inner library is sufficient, and the Turks are ferocious and ravaging Shenzhou, I have a plan to be barbaric. ā
Zhang Kang hurriedly said: "Liu Gongzi is well versed in the emperor's heart, and the slave must ask him for advice in the future." ā
Xiang Jingwu smiled and said, "Ask for advice? You can't learn his things, just be yourself, smart people can play smart people, you are not smart enough but want to play with your heart, you will only make people suspicious. ā
He groaned for a moment and continued, "Our gamble counts, right? ā
The emperor's gamble, who dares to say that it doesn't count? Zhang Kang hurriedly said: "Naturally counts." ā
Xiang Jingwu smiled slightly: "That's good." He picked up the red pen, changed a few words on the recital on the imperial case, and then said: "Take the treasure seal." ā
The treasure seal is a jade seal, but the jade seal of the emperor of the Chu Dynasty is more miscellaneous, and many emperors have their own private seals, and they all use private seals to seal their decrees. However, Xiang Jingwu is different, he is a person who pays great attention to rules. Since he asked Zhang Kang for the seal, Zhang Kang didn't say a word, and hurriedly went to get it.
After a while, he brought a wooden box and took out the "Emperor's Treasure of Fengtian", Xiang Jingwu took it, the treasure seal was too heavy, so heavy that his wrist muscles were exposed. It can be seen that a lot of effort was secretly used. At present, the Great Chu Dynasty has seventeen jade seals, such as the emperor's treasure used by the emperor in his daily life, and the emperor's letter treasure used for conquest, or the treasure of respecting relatives used to worship the temple, and the treasure of the edict issued by the ministers and so on.
It's just that the treasure seal in Xiang Jingwu's hand is the treasure of the emperor's Fengtian, which is the most precious, mainly used for ceremonies such as sacrificing to the sky, and the imperial examination and the ceremony of picking talents are not under the sacrifice to the sky. Therefore, now this holy decree is stamped with the treasure seal of the emperor.
Xiang Jingwu stamped it hard, looked a little tired, and exhaled. Let go of your hand.
Zhang Kang hurriedly put away the treasure seal, still holding the wooden box and waiting for orders.
Xiang Jingwu was silent for a moment and said, "Let the will go out." In the thirteenth year of Ming Wu, the list will be released at noon tomorrow, and this will be sent to the Ministry of Rites first. Let the Ministry of Rites prepare, and the Jinshi are scheduled to enter the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month. I will personally encourage them, and in addition, the scholars and scholars in the institute will be sent to the outside world to become officials or sent to the ministries to observe the government, and they should draw up a charter in advance, and the officials should also prepare as soon as possible, and then issue an edict tomorrow to spread the edict to the world. ā
Zhang Kang said solemnly: "The slave obeys the order!" ā
In the past, there were not many people who paid attention to the palace test list, after all, when it came to the palace test list, there were not many people who were related to their vital interests.
Therefore, there is not much discussion in the market, but if there are fewer people talking about things that are not widely involved, it is naturally difficult for everyone to discuss.
It's just that this year is different, the palace exam has already been reported, and they beat each other in the same year, they collided with the examiner, and they fell jade in front of the palace, so many dramas came out together, which is really eye-opening.
Jingshi is very lively, in fact, not only Jingshi, but also the north, but the Qing discussion between the two places is two extremes, Jingshi's side, now they all beat their chests and stumble whenever they say Liu Fan, saying that Sven is lost, saying that people's hearts are not ancient, naturally they don't understand Liu Fan's behavior, and even disgust.
But in the north, whether it is a scholar or a celebrity or a pawn of a peddler, they are all applauding Liu Fan, Liu Fan, who used to be a gentleman, is now raising his eyebrows and puffing up, in the past, everyone was not used to him, and he was dissolute, but now he is praised one by one.
The contrast between the two places is too strong, in fact, a little thought can be understood, the scholars in Beijing and even Jiangnan don't know what the Turks are, so they naturally feel that Liu Fan is too rude, and the beating of the same year is already amazing, and even the examiner dares to contradict it, which is against the teacher's way, although it is only a paper reader, for Liu Fan, he is only half a grandmaster, but half a grandmaster is also a grandmaster, even if people don't take the main exam, then they can be regarded as elders.
But the north is different, Liu Fan beat the same year, confronted the examiner, and even threw jade in front of the palace, all revolving around the same theme, that is, barbarism.
Here in the north, the Turks have been suffering for a long time, and when it comes to the Turks, everyone hates them to the bone, and everyone is sad and angry, and Liu Fan's voice in the palace is undoubtedly saying what everyone wants to say, and saying the words that everyone is holding in their stomachs, which makes people feel happy when they hear it.
This is the angle of looking at the problem, Jingshi is entangled in Liu Fan's presumptuousness, so he scoffs. On the other hand, in the north, he values Liu Fan's righteous words, and even fights for the future, is not afraid of power, and dares to ask for everyone's life, so everyone naturally flocks to him! Such a controversial figure can be described as rare in the world.
Of course, that's just for later. In short, the palace test has attracted attention, so this palace test list has naturally attracted the attention of many people with a heart. Everyone just wants to see what the achievements of this "bold and presumptuous" Liu Fan will be.
The Liu family's side was naturally shrouded in an atmosphere of unease and excitement. It's just that the so-called release of the palace examination is not hung out like a general examination, but the will goes directly to the Ministry of Rites, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites act in batches and go to the place where the candidates are staying to read the will.
Therefore, this is not a list, but a purpose.
The future Liu Daguan is dressed in Confucian clothes at this time, as long as he receives the order, he will immediately take the will to go to the ministry to order the sedan chair, so the sedan chair outside has been prepared, it is the old man Liu has already customized, the official can take the sedan chair, after the end of the palace test, this official is a nail in the coffin - did not run, naturally to prepare in advance, not only that, but also hired two sedan chair drivers, in fact, as early as Liu's family for two days of leisure, but today is going to officially work.
Now Liu Fan is waiting for the will to come, but the process of this will is really not pleasant, and he always feels that the old man looks at him very strangely.
"That's it, don't care about him, maybe he was too nervous yesterday, so it's right for this little rabbit cub to go out to get drunk and relax." Liu Shouyi thought so in his heart, so he sat in the hall as steadily as Mount Tai.
