The next day after the list was issued, the Luming Banquet was held at the Governor's Yamen, which was the only time for the Inner Curtain Officer, the same examiner, the supplementary curtain officer and the candidates in the middle of the ceremony to get together, that is, this Luming Banquet, the candidates knew who the examiner really was, and the chief examiner also relied on this Luming Banquet to become the candidate's teacher.

After all, it means that you can enter the court as an official, which means that you can enter the circle of power.

After the Luming feast, the lifting people go home for a short time, and then soon rush to the capital to participate in the examination and the palace examination, at that time, the lifting people will carry gifts, make a special trip to visit the teacher, and the alliance between each other, will also really be established, of course, this alliance, how to develop in the future, it depends on the situation of the next examination, if the lifting people will take the high school, become a tribute, can participate in the palace examination, then this alliance will gradually stabilize, until it is unbreakable.

If you fail to make the list, enter the Guozijian to study, or be sent to a certain place to serve as a county magistrate, this alliance will slowly fade away, or even eventually disappear, leaving only the relationship between the teacher and the student.

Any official of the Ming Dynasty will not underestimate this alliance, and the party struggle between the courts since the Wanli period has made this alliance extremely important.

The deer in the deer banquet refers to the Lu at the earliest, that is, the meaning of the Lu, this kind of banquet, in fact, is to celebrate the candidates after the lift, you can enter the court as an official, you can receive the court's Lu, since then the identity has completely changed, but the court has always advocated that the scholars value righteousness over profit, and save the heavenly reason to curb people's desires, so Lu or don't mention it, plus the deer has been regarded as a fairy beast since ancient times, and it represents talents. In this way, the title of the deer feast was fixed.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Luming banquet was very grand, at that time the students and supervisors could be officials, and they were also the chief officials, not to mention the lifting of people, the number of people admitted to the country during the Xuande period was only 550 people, to the Apocalypse years, each township examination admitted as many as 1,287 people, with the increase in the number of people, its status is gradually inferior to before, now the people are officials, you need to go to the country to study for more than a year, and you have to wait until the Ministry of Officials appointed, if there is no vacancy, Then wait honestly, and even some people have no chance to be officials, so they can only return to their hometowns to be squires.

Subsequently, the deer banquet was gradually ignored and eventually became a formality.

The official who announced the good news had already informed the time and place of the Luming banquet, and gave a special invitation letter issued by the governor's yamen when the good news was announced.

Wu Fanhui is definitely going to go, and he also has to represent all the lifters in the middle of the lift, in the music of "Deer Song", and recite "Deer Song" with the examiner.

The lifters of the sub-list also participated in the deer feast.

Although it is called the Luming Banquet, there are also vegetables and fruits on the table, but no one will touch these things, the Luming Banquet is by no means a banquet of eating and drinking, it is a banquet of congratulations, which moves the dishes and fruits on the table, will be looked down upon, and after the Luming Banquet is over, these dishes and fruits are naturally packed and taken home by the officials.

Wu Fanhui and Chen Minghui got up early in the morning, the Luming Banquet lasted for half a day, after many procedures, the people who participated in the Luming Banquet left the governor's yamen, and they would go to the restaurant that had been set up for a long time to eat, and their joy would be slowly revealed at this time.

At the same time, Wu Fanhui and Chen Minghui set off from the Sihailou Inn and went to the governor's yamen, according to the speed of the carriage, it was about half an hour, and the time when the Luming banquet began was two o'clock in the morning, and the time was completely timely, the two of them each took a carriage, after all, it was the identity of a person, if they sat on a carriage, they were afraid that they would be laughed at.

After the lift, the identity has indeed changed, and it is better to pay attention to many things, especially Wu Fanhui, as a township test Xie Yuan, will become the focus of everyone's attention, and it is not okay to be too casual in words and deeds.

When the carriage headed towards the governor's yamen, Wu Fanhui was still thinking about who the chief examiner was, whether it was the superintendent of the Imperial Procuratorate, if so, then he owed Lu Weibiao a great favor, such a favor would need to be repaid in the future, as for the gift he gave to Lu Weibiao, I am afraid that it will not be able to offset this favor.

The carriage stopped two miles away from the governor's yamen, and according to the rules, the carriage was not allowed to approach the governor's yamen.

Wu Fanhui and Chen Minghui walked side by side towards the governor's yamen, during which Chen Minghui deliberately fell behind by half a step.

When Wu Fanhui handed the invitation letter from the governor's yamen in his hand to the official in the ceremonial room at the door, the official looked at Wu Fanhui, obviously very surprised, probably the township test Xie Yuan in front of him was too young.

Soon, someone brought many new imperial examinees who came to participate in the Luming Banquet into the middle courtyard of the governor's yamen, and the Luming Banquet was held here.

Tables have been set up in the courtyard, and the way the tables are placed is like a meeting hundreds of years later, the front row of tables is the governor, the political envoy, the scholar and the township examination officials and the same examiners sit, the township examination curtain officials sit on the left and right, and the new imperial examination people sit down in front of their respective tables.

As the new branch Xie Yuan, Wu Fanhui's position is in the middle of the first row, and he is facing the governor.

Chen Minghui is in the penultimate row.

When Wu Fanhui walked towards the first row, many new imperial examination people were looking at him, either showing envy, or whispering to the same year around him.

But in one day, Wu Fanhui's fame in Xi'an Fucheng has been very big, he participated in the township test as a small Sanyuan and became the county test solution, the key is that this township test solution yuan, but fifteen years old, not yet sixteen years old, isn't this too shocking.

The band began to play, and Governor Li Yingqi and many officials came to the middle courtyard and looked at the many new imperial examination people who had already sat down.

The Taoist side began to make loud introductions every year, and introduced the governor, the political envoy, the envoy, the inner curtain officer, the same examiner and the supplementary curtain officer.

Wu Fanhui's eyes looked at Wang Xiang, who was already middle-aged, and the chief examiner of the Shaanxi Township Examination this time was indeed Wang Xiang.

After Governor Li Yingqi and others sat down, the Luming banquet officially began.

When the music of "Deer Song" sounded, Wu Fanhui, who was under the attention of everyone, stood up, walked to the front, and saluted to Governor Li Yingqi and others, and then Wang Xiang, the chief examiner of the township examination who was sitting in front, also left his seat and walked towards Wu Fanhui.

Wu Fanhui saluted Wang Xiangji, who was standing in front of him, and Wang Xiang only needed to return the salute with his fists.

This is the first time Wu Fanhui has visited the teacher of the township test, and after he arrives in the capital, he will make a special trip to visit.

When Wang Xiang looked at Wu Fanhui, his smile was full of great surprise, perhaps because he felt that Wu Fanhui was too young, and he already knew Wu Fanhui's situation, but he was just a sixteen-year-old teenager, how could he write such an article.

It was not only Wang Xiang who was surprised, including Governor Li Yingqi and others, Fang Fengnian was slightly better, after all, Wu Fanhui was the head of the hospital examination, he decided that Wu Fanhui was the head of the hospital examination, and he also suffered a lot of pressure, some people think that the head of the hospital examination is too young, and now Wu Fanhui has become the township test Xie Yuan, presumably no one will talk about it behind his back.

However, Fang Fengnian was also surprised, he didn't expect that Wu Fanhui would become the township test Xie Yuan, the township test is different from the hospital test, the students who participated in the exam, including the students from all over the country, some people have participated in the township test several times, and have rich experience, I didn't think that Wu Fanhui could be killed from the crowd, it seems that it is really not simple.

After reciting "Deer Song", Wu Fanhui saluted Wang Xiangji again, and Wang Xiangji still returned the salute with his fists.

The people of the new imperial examination were still very excited, but the faces of the former governor Li Yingqi and others had become very calm.

Presumably, these adults are used to seeing the Luming banquet, and they don't think there is anything great, and these new imperial examinees have to go to the capital to participate in the general examination and the palace examination, and when the time comes, they can participate in the graceful banquet held by the Ministry of Rites, and see the emperor at the banquet, then it is really a good idea, and now for the imperial examination, the township examination is also a start.

Wu Fanhui always had a smile on his face, although he recited "Lu Ming" on behalf of many new imperial examiners and the chief examiner Wang Xiang, which was an incomparably glorious thing in the eyes of many new imperial examiners, but his heart has always been calm.

Good observation is Wu Fanhui's ability, but also habit, it was at this Luming banquet that he found that the governor, the political envoy and the scholar of the Tao, etc., seemed to be very polite to the king, this kind of politeness in the officialdom is by no means a good thing, it represents the estrangement between each other.

This made Wu Fanhui remember that he would soon enter the imperial court, and it was necessary to pay attention to these details.

After the Luming banquet ended, Wu Fanhui and Chen Minghui left the governor's yamen together and went to the Taibai Restaurant to attend the banquet, Ye Kaiyi and others had already been waiting in the Taibai Restaurant, this time it was the candidates who stayed in the Sihailou Inn and set up a banquet for Wu Fanhui and Chen Minghui to congratulate the two.
