The fortresses were all breached from the inside, and there must be an explanation for the large-scale fall of the heart bachelors this time, otherwise the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to bring.

Tang Shun had no idea for a while, but Tang Yi was not an expert in detectives, and when he talked about his father's high school move, his heart was like a coal, and his mind was not on this for a long time. Tang Shunzhi had no choice but to wave his hand and let him go home.

Tang Yi hurried back to his temporary residence, at this time the courtyard was full of lights, firecrackers were everywhere, and there was a wooden sign in front of the door, pasted with red paper, with the words "Nanzhili Township Test Seventh Yayuan", and the people in the past kept pointing and admiring.

Some parents also brought their children over to pay their respects, telling their babies to study hard, and one day they will also be admitted to the exam, glorifying their ancestors, and the little dolls with snot bubbles don't understand the words of their parents, they only know that the candies and buns of Master Tang's house are really delicious!

In the spirit of enjoying with the people, knowing that the old man was in the middle of the move, Shen Lin found people and noodles, chopped the stuffing, steamed more than 20 pots of steamed buns, all of which were filled with mutton and green onions, and the aroma wafted for half a street, and he also bought several bags of sugar cubes, which he gave when he met people, and gave them when he saw people, so that those who didn't know thought that their family was marrying a daughter-in-law!

When I heard that I had passed the exam, everyone was even more excited. Raise people, master, that's a Wenqu star from the sky, how can you not want the things he sends, everyone fights for me, it's very lively.

When I passed by the door, I took a special look at the eye-catching mahogany sign, and I couldn't see it, it turned out to be seventh! The seventh place in Nan Zhili!

Who doesn't know that Nanzhili has a strong foundation in the imperial examination, and dozens of jinshi can be ranked in each subject, and they can be ranked in the top ten, no need to ask, it is almost a certainty, and they are the future jinshi.

See here. hurriedly grabbed a few buns, grabbed a handful of candy cubes, and shared the joy with his family.

When Tang Yi came back, there was a mess in front of the door. Shen Lin was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, it was rare that Tang Yi didn't get angry, and ordered with a smile: "Go and pay two hundred taels of silver, make them into steamed buns, and send them to the beggars in the city." ”

"Hey, hey!" Shen Lin hurriedly ran inside.

Tang Yixing rushed to the study, but his father was not inside, and walked to the back again, far away. There was laughter and laughter in the small garden, and there were already guests who had come to say goodbye.

The first one to come was Zhao Juren, who was half of Tang Shen's teacher, and when he saw Tang Shen, he hurriedly gave a salute.

"Thank you Mr. for your advice, Tang can only be lifted in the exam, please accept my worship!"

Zhao Juren couldn't shirk it, so he had to say: "Brother Tang, I accept your salute." But in the future, let's talk about the same generation, don't be polite! ”

The two sides sat down in courtesy. Zhao Juren was obviously a lot kinder, and he actually took the initiative to open the conversation box and talked endlessly, which was very different from the previous situation of facing people coldly, and the heat made Tang Shen a little uncomfortable.

The status between scholars and scholars depends entirely on the fame of the imperial examination, for example, Zhao Wen was a person before. Tang Shen is just a talent, don't care how prosperous the Tang family is, how powerful, and how much it is valued, in Zhao Wen's eyes. The two sides are not of the same grade. It's not for Tang Shunzhi's face, Zhao Daju can snort when he sees Tang Xiucai, and it's not bad if he can snort in his nose.

But when Tang Shen won the seventh place in the exam, the situation was completely different, Zhao Wen's ranking was not as good as Tang Shen, maybe he would become a jinshi in the next game, he didn't have a score yet!

It became that Zhao Wen wanted to tie up the Tang family and accompany the smiling face, although there was some reality, but it was so!

"Brother Tang Shi, after the township test in Nanzhili this year is postponed, it is only a finger to count, and there is still half a year, so I will take the test, and it is time to set off."

"So early?" Tang Shen shouted.

"Hehe, it's not early at all, some people will enter Beijing half a year in advance, or even a year in advance, first, to save no place to stay, and second, to visit the seniors, learn from the scriptures, play out the reputation, and contribute to winning the championship in one fell swoop."

"There's still a lot to do!" Tang Shen couldn't help nodding and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you have the grace of teaching our father and son, this time I asked Yi'er to prepare a boat, let's go to Beijing together, I will cover all your expenses!" ”

"To be honest, I have long had this intention, it is better to be respectful than to obey!"

"What do you say, so happy, count me in!" A big-nosed scholar walked in, it was Cao Dazhang, who also had a reputation for raising people, and was ready to participate in next year's examination. Originally, he wanted to find a few friends and go together, but as soon as he heard that Tang Shen had won the lift, he immediately ran to congratulate him.

Who made the Tang family a big family, who would eat him if he didn't eat it!

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll be responsible for as many people as you come!" From a husband to a master, Tang Shen spoke obviously more arrogantly.

The three of them chatted, and several fellow villagers from Taicang came one after another, all of whom came to congratulate, and everyone was happy. Although Tang Shen looks white-eyed in front of his son, don't forget, he has been a master, has done inspections, trained soldiers, and fought wars, compared to those nerds, he is simply well-informed.

A few words of flattery made a group of fluttering new imperial examination people smile, even the candidates who failed the list, after the on-demand broadcast of Tang's predecessors, they all repented, and were ready to study hard and rush through the test again.

Seeing that my father was radiant and directing the country, he didn't have the weak and cowardly appearance at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, power is the best coat for men.

Although Dad is just a lifter, but it is completely different from other lifters, he has military exploits, and if nothing else, he will definitely be a high school scholar and be reused.

Thinking of the merits, Tang Yi felt irritable for no reason, it stands to reason that the good news has already been sent to the capital, and it is in the early two months, why is there no movement at all......

Tang Yi didn't know, in fact, the good news had already been sent, all the way to the hands of Xu Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he was Yan Song's confidant, succeeded Nie Bao as the secretary of the Ministry of War, this old man traveled to the nine sides when he was young, and also wrote to Jiajing, known for knowing soldiers. It's just that in recent years, his health has not been as good as before, and he is attached to Yan Song, and his reputation is not good.

When he picked up the good news, his old eyes narrowed and he scolded.

"There is also a face to report success, I see that the funeral is almost the same!"

But when he opened the song, he only looked at two lines, and his eyes almost fell off, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring the glasses that Yan Song gave him, and looked at the song, word by word, for fear of reading the wrong word.

After more than half an hour, my back and neck were stiffened, and I finally finished reading. Leaning back on the seat dejectedly, he sighed long: "If it's true, it should be the first big victory in recent years!" ”

After taking two breaths, Xu Yan immediately took the good news and hurried to the Xiyuan duty room, he was not qualified to meet Emperor Jiajing, so he could only rush to the cabinet duty room first, it happened that the father and son of the Yan family were there, the old Yan Song was resting against the bed, Yan Shifan stared at one eye, swept the folds with ten lines, and his big fat face kept trembling.

Bad news, bad news, bad news!

"What happened to the Ming Dynasty, either a famine or a defeat, a Yellow River is repaired every year, and there is a big flood every year, father, I think it is a traitor in the court, and if the traitor is not removed, there will be no peace in the world!"

As he spoke, his eyes stared at the direction of Xu Jie's room, revealing his fierce expression.

Yan Song sat up slowly, looked at his son, and sighed long.

"Yan Shifan, I'll tell you what to come from, you have to eat the food one bite at a time, you are always anxious."

Yan Shifan disagreed, shook his head, and sneered: "There are more people who are more anxious than his son, and everyone is chasing after him, you can't show mercy!" ”

"Hey, then we have to slow down, the top priority is to guard the mountain of the officials and make up for the lost blood."

……

As mentioned earlier, Xu Ge Lao's master, Nie Bao, was in charge of the ministry, and the Xu Party was so powerful that it was generally believed that he would replace Yan Song. On the positive side of the facts, as the first traitor party of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song's power is far above Xu Jie.

A few months ago, the city wall of the capital division was completed, and the results were inspected, and the overexpenditure was more than 100,000 taels, and several cracks were found, but the official in charge of supervising the project was recommended by Nie Bao, and the result was Yan Song.

This is called sitting in a closed house, and the disaster comes from the sky, and it is clear that the repair of the city wall is the business of the Ministry of Industry controlled by Yan Shifan, and it is the Ministry of Industry that cuts corners and bluffs with inferior bricks and tiles. Out of kindness, Nie Bao wanted to restrain the Yan family's father and son, but he didn't know that he had brought a catastrophe to himself.

Improper use of people, can not shake a Dazai, in the final analysis, Nie Bao insisted on principles, for the problem of employing people, several times disobedient Jiajing, the emperor was displeased, but Yan Song found a weakness and succeeded in one blow.

After losing the officials, Xu Jie suddenly lost the capital to resist the Yan Party, and was eager to expand his strength, so he started the idea of the Jiangnan Township Test, but he knew that he would be destroyed by the Yan family's father and son.

Yan Shifan advocated using the township test as a weapon to pull Xu Jie. But Yan Song disagreed, he had served Jiajing for more than ten years, he had already figured out Jiajing's thoughts, just moved Nie Bao, and if he moved Xu Jie, it would inevitably be regarded as a party dispute, in order to balance the situation, Jiajing would definitely not take Xu Jie, on the contrary, their father and son would be charged with excluding dissidents.

Therefore, Yan Song only taught Xu Jie and Xinxue a small lesson on the issue of the township test, and did not start a major war. But letting it go doesn't mean that Xu Jie's safety doesn't mean that Elder Yan Ge is waiting for the opportunity to kill.

……

Xu Lun arrived with good news, Yan Shifan was angry, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Lun, and immediately said angrily: "Old Xu, I can tell you, I don't read the funeral documents, take them to Xu Jie!" ”

Yan Song's face sank, and he said angrily: "Yan Shifan, how can you speak?" ”

Xu Lun hurriedly said with a smile: "Xiao Ge Lao has a frank temperament, and everything he says is right. But the lower officials are here to deliver the good news. ”

"Happy event?" Yan Shifan asked suspiciously.

"That's right, the southeast victory, please take a look at the elder!"

Yan Shifan took the notebook of the report and opened it to take a look, and saw that his face was first red, then pale, and finally iron!

Syllable!

slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Lao Xu, are you good news?" More than the mourners! You're a dead star! ”

A dignified book, only promised, scolded like a grandson, and didn't even have the courage to talk back, Yan Shifan's rampant really deserved his name!

Yan Song glared at his son fiercely, silently took the notebook, read it again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xu Huating's life is not right!" (To be continued.) )
