The second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1451 AD).

This is the second year of Daizong's ascension to the throne as emperor, and it is also the first year of the imperial examination in Beijing. This year, Daizong Zhu Qiyu reduced the holiday of the Lantern Festival by three days, on the grounds that after the defense of Beijing, all the wastes were waiting to be revived, and it was the year of the imperial examination, and all the officials in Beijing had their holidays reduced by three days to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty are also full of enthusiasm for their work.

The Qianqing Palace sat upright, and the Daizong Zhu Qiyu sat straight, and the ministers were making a final argument about this year's Beijing examination, and the focus of the argument was the chief examiner of the current department.

Peng Shi, the champion of the previous department, is now revised for the Hanlin Academy, Shu Jishi.

In the hearts of such characters, only Shang Chen, the **, is qualified to be the chief examiner of Jingtainian's first imperial examination.

Peng Shi was in the palace, quoting scriptures and scriptures, and making long speeches.

"Young, still young!" Although Yu Qian and Shang Ji are close friends, he doesn't believe it at all, just with a young Ji Jishi, who talks nonsense here for half an hour, Shang Qian can get the main exam.

Yang Ning, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has already sworn to win the first main exam.

The first main examination is a university scholar, a scholar, and the second main examination can only be under a scholar, and it is absolutely impossible to have two scholars at the same time. Unless Yang Ning is squeezed down.

But Yang Ning was squeezed out, and Gao Gu became the biggest competitor.

Then, the most likely result is that Yang Ning, who was squeezed out, let Gao Gu pick peaches. Such a thing, it's not worth it.

At this time, Yu Qian suddenly thought of the letter sent by the prefect of Zhuozhou, and also thought of the white crane. This son is good at plotting, what will happen to the white crane at this time, if the white crane is promoted to the status of Peng Shi, then how much can the white crane do?

Yu Qian is conservative and upright, but not rigid!

For the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, you can prosper the Ming Dynasty and create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is broken, he will not be afraid. Even if there is some loss of reputation, Yu Qian dares to do it. In order to confirm his thoughts, in the name of supporting the world's scholars, the merchants left the city and went to Zhuozhou before dawn. I want to see this white-named crane with my own eyes.

Yu Qian has seen the white-named crane, and Shang Zhen also wants to see it with his own eyes.

At the same time, Daizong Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the throne, also thought of the white crane.

Peng Shi, a Jishi, has been talking nonsense for too long, and it is annoying to listen to people. Opening and closing the mouth is, the son said, the sage said. Can you be a little more practical, look at the letter of the white crane, how simple and direct it is. It's a record of conversations, without half a sentence of nonsense, and every sentence goes straight to the point.

Zhu Qiyu also thought a little, and Shu Jishi had an important task that was to explain the scriptures to the emperor.

What happens if Shira-naka Crane is a Kujishi?

This idea is clever, you should find someone to discuss, and the most suitable person is Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing, the word Simu, Yongle twenty-two years (1424) Jinshi, the selection of Hanlin Shu Jishi, and later for the Shanxi Jin Dynasty Palace. In the Yingzong Dynasty, Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, sent people to collude with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, to plot against him! Cheng Jing had two choices at that time as the shrine of the Jin Dynasty. First, he was confiscated into the army, but the consequences were strict, and it would definitely affect his descendants. So Cheng Jing made the second choice, choosing to die.

But back then, he had just entered the Jin Palace, but he was implicated.

So Xuanzong gave him a knife, but instead of cutting off his head, he cut off the root of his life. and then sent it to his son, who lives outside the palace, who is now Daizong Zhu Qiyu, as an offering.

Cheng Jing is also a Jishi, his life experience is also complicated, and he is also an upright person, Zhu Qiyu thinks that he is a hundred times stronger than a Jishi like Peng Shi.

Cheng Jing sat on the boat, holding in his hand all the information about Bai Minghe given by Dongchang, as well as the information about the Bai clan in Guanzhong.

Of course, there is also a document that Bai Minghe claims to be a descendant of Wu Anjun Baiqi, but it cannot be verified.

The only thing that is ominous is the design of the white crane for that valley and the water intake facilities. The staff of the East Plant has already made a request for the official in charge of water conservancy at the Ministry of Industry to analyze it. The approval was that when the valley of the white crane really played a role, it would not be too late to ask the Ministry of Industry to conduct an on-site investigation.

"Talent is a talent." After Cheng Jing put down the information in his hand, he shook the bell in his hand, and a little eunuch entered in response. Cheng Jing asked, "When can I rush to Zhuozhou?" ”

"If you're old, you can enter the city at night!"

Cheng Jing waved his hand, signaling that the little eunuch could retreat.

At this time, Zhuozhou City!

Bai Minghe changed into a silk robe with lake blue, tied a scribe's knot in his hair, and fixed it with wax to prevent his sideburns from sagging. The forehead is then covered with a mesh bandana, and then the headscarf is tied with a rope mixed with silver wire.

There are strict rules on the crown of the Ming Dynasty, gold cannot be used below the third grade, and silver cannot be used by non-officials.

This kind of rope mixed with silver wire is already a tricky means, and it is also the limit of the level of the hairband that Bai Minghe can use to raise his identity at the moment.

Ordinary people, farmers, businessmen. No matter how rich you are, you can be sent to prison even if you are mixed with silver threads.

Sun Yuanjun's white-named crane dressed up single-handedly cost more than seven taels of silver in total, which is already extremely luxurious in this era.

"Husband, tonight Husband will be able to become famous in Beijing!" Sun Yuanjun is full of confidence in his man. But who would have thought that when she just said that Bai Minghe would become famous in Beijing, Xiaodao Gu Huaiyu immediately answered: "Brother-in-law's demeanor has already been famous in Beijing, and he will be famous in the world tonight!" ”

The small hoe in Huaiyu's hand waved the whirring wind, and the posture of digging the corner of the wall was too obvious.

Sun Yuan was so angry that he wanted to pull Huaiyu's ears.

The white crane came at this time: "After I close the white crane tonight, everyone in the world will know about it." The only thing I'm worried about is ......" Bai Minghe said that he was uneasy, and the two girls immediately looked at Bai Minghe blankly, there was uneasiness, what would happen to this?

Bai Minghe picked up the bamboo flute and pointed out the window: "The only worry I have about Bai Minghe in Guanzhong is that after tonight, will there be a poetry meeting tomorrow, and after a swan song, how many people dare to compete for fame in the poetry club!" ”

Crazy? Is your husband crazy? Even if Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty was reincarnated, he would not dare to say such wild words.

Xiaodao Gu Huaiyu's eyes flashed with light, her brother-in-law is unparalleled in the world, and her brother-in-law's demeanor is unmatched.

"Let's go, see the husband tonight, and be famous all over the world!" The white crane flicked his headband and walked out with his legs raised.

Bai Minghe knew that he had already refused to compose poetry twice, and it was impossible for him to speak tonight, unless there was a good enough opportunity to force him to retreat, Bai Minghe just hoped that there would be a big man with enough status to be present tonight.

Poetry will be held tonight, and the curfew will be stricter.

The garden has been divided into an inner garden and an outer garden. The gates of the part of the garden near the lake have been closed, and there are only sixty places that can be qualified to enter, and with their retinue, the number of people in the inner garden will not exceed two hundred.

When the white crane walked to the gate of the outer garden, everyone got out of the way and made way for the white crane.

Lu Changjie was waiting in front of the gate of the outer garden, he was originally responsible for guarding the gate of the inner garden, just for the sake of the white crane, so he personally waited at the outer gate.

Seeing that Bai Minghe moved, Lu Changjie came over and hugged his fist: "Brother Bai Nian!" ”

"Brother Lu!" The white crane also returned the salute.

"Brother Bai Nian, tonight is extraordinary. The Lantern Festival poetry meeting in the capital was suspended, and tonight the inner courtyard was limited to sixty people, and the celebrities from the capital and Zhuozhou accounted for ten people, and several Hanlin Academy adults who came from the capital to support the poetry society accounted for five seats. The scholars of the capital occupied another 20 seats, and we had 20 seats in Zhuozhou. There are also five seats, and each of the three major Oirans in the capital occupies one seat. ”

After listening to Lu Changjie, Bai Minghe was calculating in his heart, what about two seats?

There was a kind of pride on Lu Changjie's face: "The white crane in Guanzhong occupies a single seat. The last seat is reserved for the world-shattering world, a model for our scholars, businessmen and businessmen. I'm the only one in the Ming Dynasty, the one who won the **. ”

Shira's heart was not nervous, but joyful.

The bigger the better!

"Brother Bai, your entourage can only be in the outer garden tonight, and someone will greet him." Lu Changjie was naturally referring to Sun Hu.

Bai Minghe was about to ask, but Lu Changjie said again: "Huaiyu real people can naturally enter, this white brother can rest assured." Who has no face in life! ”

Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding. The white crane didn't even have a chance to explain, and countless scholars cheered.

Celebrities and celebrities have been good stories since ancient times.

Sun Yuanjun secretly twisted Huaiyu's waist, Huaiyu's tears of pain were about to flow down, that look was pitiful, but people wanted to love her even more.

This night, all the set-up has changed.

Along the edge of the lake, there were sixty low tables on a thick carpet with incense burners. There are also pens for washing on one side of the table, two charcoal stoves for heating next to the carpet, and two, or three cushions.

Those who can sit on this carpet with their masters are not ordinary retinues in themselves.

There are three things that make the white crane stand out from the rest.

The first one was different, he had a very quaint wooden box on his desk. Many people know what it is. This is the inkstone that Bai Minghe won from Yang Ning.

The second difference was that all the seats were a boy kneeling beside a small table and being in charge of grinding, plus an attendant standing outside the carpet. But here the three of them are all sitting on the cushions on the carpet.

The third is different, regardless of age. Shirana Crane is the only one who brings his wife to the scene.

The three differences between the white crane and the white crane are that before the merchant entered the table, he couldn't help but look at the white crane for a while, as if he wanted to see through what the white crane was hiding in his heart?

It's a scripture, or a strategy, or an ambition!

After the merchant sat down, the person in charge of the host shouted: "Poetry meeting, music!" ”
