Chapter 176: The Divine Decree Comes
Of course, Hu Ye knew what was written on his scroll, and he knew what he was talking about with Yin Changlong in the carriage that day. So later, Yin Changlong asked Hu Ye what he wrote about his strategy, but Hu Ye did not answer positively.
If Hu Ye said that he insinuated and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang, it is estimated that Yin Changlong would be scared to death. In these years, who doesn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a murderer, it seems that he killed a few palace maids in the palace a few days ago, who dares to touch his moldy head.
Of course, Hu Ye is not looking for death, he dares to write an article like this, naturally he is confident. Because he knew the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu in the history of the Dao, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded his brother who fought with him in the Nanjing Grand Prize, of course, the premise is that he is still alive now.
But Hu Ye has been in Nanjing for more than ten days, and he hasn't even heard a fuse, so he knows that this matter has not been put on the agenda yet, and it is estimated that this matter should be raised by himself.
It just so happened that Wang Wei appreciated the impassioned article, so he wrote one for him. Otherwise, with the ink in his stomach, it may be really difficult to take the exam, after all, he has only studied the Four Books and Five Classics for half a year, and he is not more than a fraction of other candidates.
So after learning about the exam questions, Hu Ye boldly wrote the article that made Zhu Yuanzhang think hard, and he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would reward the generals of the year, and he should be a good person.
Hu Ye didn't think that he would have to take the exam later, Gongshi, Jinshi or something is not delusional, and participating in the imperial examination is just a fresh, although the life in the examination shed is not good, but it is not in vain to come to the Ming Dynasty.
The time soon came to the first day of the ninth lunar month, and this day was the day when Tianfu released the list.
Hu Ye and Yin Changlong are very confident, what is the difficulty of taking the exam, it is not easy to catch it.
So early in the morning, the inn was boiling, and all the candidates got up early in the morning. After breakfast, I went to wait outside the Gongyuan.
Naturally, Hu Ye and Yin Changlong were no exception, still sitting at the original table, eating steamed buns, eggs and porridge.
After more than ten days of training by Hu Ye, Xiaoqiang's body has lost weight again, he has become stronger, and his appetite has also decreased, and he only ate two eggs and lay on the table.
Yin Changlong looked at Xiao Qiang curiously, after nearly a month, he found that Xiao Qiang and Hu Ye were inseparable except for the exam. This is even closer than a brother.
"Brother Hu, how do I feel that you and Xiaoqiang don't belong here, there is always a big difference between us." Yin Changlong said curiously to Hu Ye while nibbling on the bun.
Hu Ye had just eaten half of the bun and stopped, and looked at Yin Changlong in a daze, could it be that this mysterious poor scholar had discovered something. Impossible, even if the monk Juehui is so powerful, he can't see his origin, how can such a poor scholar know that he comes from the future?
"Brother Yin said with a smile, Xiaoqiang was brought out of the mountains by me. Of course, it's a little different from you. After being dull for a while, Hu Ye continued to gnaw on the buns, not allowing Yin Changlong to see the flaws, maybe this product was testing himself.
"Hey. It's still a paradise, to be able to cultivate a talent like Brother Hu. Yin Changlong sighed, so that Hu Ye couldn't guess what he meant by the question just now.
"Hey, kid. If this poor scholar hadn't passed the exam today, the bet we had made would have been cashed out. At this moment, seven or eight scholars gathered around. said to Hu Ye and Yin Changlong with a smug face.
"Ahem, we can't get there, what are you anxious about. If we want to win, Brother Yin will be hit three times in a row, if you want to win, you only need Brother Yin to fail once, I really don't know what you are anxious about. Hu Ye rolled his eyes, these scholars were really anxious, and they were in such a hurry after the trial, as if they were afraid that they would owe them money and run away.
"Hmph, we'll see in a while, how about it, let's go to the Tribute Courtyard with us and have a look." Said a candidate who took the lead.
"Just go, who's afraid of whom." Hu Ye was worried that he had been idle these days, and he happened to slap these scholars in the face, so he got up angrily and went out with the old money and the two girls.
"Young master, do you have broken silver on your body?" Walking out of the door of the Laiyun Inn, Tsing Yi suddenly asked Hu Ye.
Hu Ye turned his head to look at Tsing Yi, thinking that this girl was greedy and wanted to buy something to eat. Seeing that her body was boneless, she should have bought food, so she casually took out a silver ingot and handed it to Tsing Yi, "There is no broken silver, but there is one silver ingot, if you want to buy anything, just take it and buy it, young master, I am in a good mood today." ”
Who knew that Tsing Yi glanced at Hu Ye with contempt, which made Hu Ye feel embarrassed, how could he feel like a nouveau riche wandering to the Qinglou, and then spent a lot of money to find a girl to spend the night, but the girl said that the slave family did not sell her body.
"Young master, Sister Tsing Yi asked you to break the silver because she was lifted later, and she would inevitably have to give a reward when she came back. There are a lot of guys in the inn, so it's impossible to reward such a big silver ingot. Saren snatched the silver ingot from Hu Ye's hand and said with a look of contempt.
Hu Ye now feels like a nouveau riche, and he has been taught a lesson by two little girls.
Lao Qian and Yin Changlong next to him stood there watching the excitement, which made Hu Ye very annoyed and glared at them viciously.
"Old money, take it and exchange it for broken silver, whatever you buy." Hu Ye snatched the silver ingot and threw it to Lao Qian suddenly, this errand should be handed over to Lao Qian, who made him laugh the most just now.
"Brother Yin, I think you are very likely to win the Xie Yuan, but the reward is indispensable, and I will see what you will do when the time comes." Hu Ye said viciously to Yin Changlong, and Yin Changlong's face immediately changed.
Hu Ye has never liked the lord who suffers, and he can only be a turtle because he is incapable of dealing with Zhu Di, but he still has a set of ways to deal with Lao Qian and Yin Changlong's generation. Today, when Yin Changlong borrowed money from himself, he was making things difficult for him at that time.
While speaking, a few people came to the door of the Tribute Courtyard, which was already overcrowded at the moment, and many people who had nothing to do were waiting here yesterday, just to know the name of the Daoist as soon as possible, and then run to report the good news, and then earn a tip or something.
So when Hu Ye and Yin Changlong came to the front of the billboard, they couldn't squeeze in, and they couldn't read the words on the billboard.
"Don't squeeze Sa Ren Qingyi, we are a scholarly family, we want to be a bit of a scholarly family." Hu Ye coughed, and pulled back Saren and Tsing Yi, who were about to see the stitches.
This is if you go in. With the height of the two of them, they can only smell farts at most, anyway, the names are there, and they can't run away, and they are afraid that they will not be able to change people?
About another stick of incense passed, and the person who released the list finally came out, holding a large red list in his hand, surrounded by a group of officials, he blew away the scholars in front of the bulletin board, and then glued the big red list to the bulletin board.
Immediately after that, some people began to call the names of the people in the middle one by one. There are also people who happily come out of it, presumably to give good news to some people.
"Liu Canghai, Zhang Zhongyuan......"
……
One by one, the names sounded among the people in front, and the candidates who heard their names sat on the ground on the spot, and they studied hard for more than ten years, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon.
Those candidates who didn't hear their names listened with bated breath and continued to squeeze inside, wanting to see for themselves. I regret that I didn't come earlier.
"The tenth place of the Asian dollar, Li Shan."
"The ninth place of the Asian dollar is far away from Zhou."
……
The more he read it, the more furious Hu Ye's heart became, with his own results, it was impossible to take such a high position. That is, there should be no name of your own in the future, so isn't it that you can't pass the test? Wouldn't Ruan An be able to justifiably get himself into the palace as his apprentice?
Yin Changlong is obviously also a little nervous, because there are few names in the future, if there is no more his name. It's not going to be easy.
"Asian Yuan second place Xie Changyun."
Thinking of this, Yin Changlong's fists were already clenched tightly, and he even pinched Hu Ye's arm. This is only the last Xie Yuan, if it weren't for him, he would have no face to live in the world, and Hu Ye would have lost 10,000 taels of silver because of this.
Hu Ye opened Yin Changlong's hand violently, and now he is the saddest person, because it is impossible for him to solve the yuan at all, and he still has no name of his own, which can only mean that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't buy it at all, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see his article at all.
"Old money, old money." Hu Ye shouted loudly, it was time to find a way back for himself, and he would not attack to be a eunuch if he was killed.
"Young master, what's the matter, haven't you finished reading it yet?" Old Qian stepped forward, handed a handful of broken silver to Hu Ye, and asked curiously.
"Prepare to go back to the inn and pack your things." Hu Ye gritted his teeth, if this Xie Yuan was not himself, he would only have to run away and wander the world.
Lao Qian was stunned, Yin Changlong was stunned, Saren Qingyi was stunned, the seven or eight scholars who came with Hu Ye were gone, Hu Ye wanted to run away at this time, didn't he make it clear that he didn't want to give them money.
"Xie Yuan Yin Changlong!" There was a cry in the middle of the crowd, after all, this Xie Yuan was the first place in the township test, and he represented the power of the future, so everyone naturally wanted to stammer.
So the people inside began to ask each other who this Yin Changlong was and what he looked like.
Of course, this voice was also heard by Hu Ye's group, and the happiest was naturally Yin Changlong, when he heard that he was Xie Yuan, Yin Changlong actually hugged Hu Ye.
If Hu Ye hadn't invited him to dinner, if Hu Ye hadn't borrowed his money, and he lived in a guest room, he might not have been able to pass the exam, and it can be said that Hu Ye was his great benefactor.
However, Hu Ye didn't mean to be happy at the moment, he didn't even get lifted, which was incredible. Could it be that history is fake, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not reward soldiers at all this year? His article only angered Zhu Yuanzhang, but did not change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind?
"Old money, go back to the inn, pack up your things and leave!" Hu Ye screamed, he couldn't lift people, of course he had to run away as soon as possible.
Now everyone is even more puzzled, obviously Yin Changlong understands the Yuan, this is a great joy, the person who can solve the Yuan, should not be able to take the Jinshi exam, so Hu Ye's bet should not be lost, so why is he in a hurry to run away?
Although the few scholars who came with him didn't understand Hu Ye very much, they wished that Hu Ye would leave at this time, because they didn't have much hope of winning now, and that was Xie Yuan.
"Brother Hu, why are you doing this? Even if you don't win, you can come back in three years, you're still young. Yin Changlong grabbed Hu Ye, he thought that Hu Ye was like this because he was stimulated by not passing the exam.
"Brother Yin, you don't understand, I ......" Hu Ye was about to open Yin Changlong's hand, but before he could make a move, there was another exclamation from the crowd.
"Hey, what is this fellow lifter? Why haven't I heard of it before, is it the same as the same Jinshi? But why is he still shooting behind Xie Yuan, is it even more powerful than Xie Yuan? ”
"Don't be kidding, Xie Yuan is of course the most powerful, and the same lifting person must have the strength to lift people, but there may be other conditions that are not enough, so there will be a name of the same lifting person."
"Well, I think so, too."
"Hey, who is this Hu Ye, he is the only one who lifts people. It's really special. ”
……
The discussion inside was in full swing, and the atmosphere was weird on Hu Ye's side outside.
"Tongju?" Hu Ye and Yin Changlong wondered at the same time, why had they never heard of such a name before.
"Young Master, what is a Tongju person? Is it also a lift? Lao Qian asked Hu Ye suspiciously, this is related to the reputation of the nameless mansion in the future, and it will add a lot of color to the person who is raised.
"How do I know the way!" Hu Ye glanced at the old money, but now Hu Ye is undecided, whether to run away or not.
The rest of the candidates looked at Hu Ye and Yin Changlong with envy. They didn't expect that the two people they despised at the beginning, one would be Xie Yuan, and the other would be the same person. Although they don't know what it is, they can be unique. It's definitely not going to be there.
"Well, two brothers, let's find a place to celebrate, we're in for a treat. It was when we had eyes that we didn't know Mount Tai. "These candidates know what it means to solve the yuan, their bet is definitely going to lose, and they have to have a good relationship with Hu Ye first. Maybe you can cancel the bet.
"Hmph, don't give me a trick, the bet is still the same." Hu Ye was in a bad mood, and said viciously to the group of scholars.
"Uh......" Several scholars looked at each other, and they could only leave helplessly, only to wait for the next year's meeting to make plans.
"Brother Hu, don't be angry, I think this Tongju person may be the same as Tongjinshi, as long as you work hard, you can still do it if you get a good score in the entrance examination next year." Yin Changlong comforted Hu Ye.
"Young master, the same person is also a person, we are also high school, from now on, our nameless mansion has been a scholar, we don't have to kneel when we see the official, we should be happy, we don't have to be sad." Saren said to Hu Ye very boldly, and then snatched the broken silver from Hu Ye's arms, "Young master, let's go and reward, how can a famous person be stingy." ”
"Yes, the same person is also a person, I think that dead eunuch still dares to come to me as an apprentice." Hu Ye thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, the same person is also a person, so there is no need to run away, then stay in Nanjing safely.
"Let's go, let's go home and give a reward." Hu Ye also laughed and prepared to come back to the inn.
Yin Changlong also followed back happily, today he is the big winner, Xie Yuan, the first yuan of three yuan, maybe he can come to Lianzhong three yuan, that is the supreme glory of all readers.
Today's Laiyun Inn is very lively, because there are two ruthless people here, one is the unique Xie Yuan, and the other is the unique Tongju person, so the inn has to celebrate.
With these two signboards, the sign of your own inn will be louder in the future, and you can sit on the ground and start the price, and the rent will rise by one or two percent, and I am afraid that the supply will exceed demand.
So when Hu Ye and Yin Changlong returned to the Laiyun Inn, the inn was called a red fire, and firecrackers rang out.
"The little one welcomes the two sons." The shopkeeper was very flattering and saluted Hu Ye and Yin Changlong.
Hu Ye looked at the shopkeeper in astonishment, surprised at how they knew the news so quickly, but since everyone else said so, he had no choice but to snap his fingers at Saren.
Saren consciously threw a piece of broken silver into the hands of the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper saw that there was another tip, he immediately smiled like a flower, nodded and went to the stable behind to take care of Hongchen. I heard that this boy has to talk to the horse every day, as long as he takes care of the horse, that son doesn't have to tip himself, which is much better than his own shopkeeper who picks the door.
Hu Ye felt that his co-lifter seemed to steal the limelight from Xie Yuan, which was not good, and it was not good to be a low-key person. So he grabbed a handful of broken silver and handed it to Yin Changlong, and Xie Yuan should have the appearance of Xie Yuan.
Yin Changlong is also not polite, when he is developed in the future, he will slowly return Hu Ye's favor.
So the two walked towards the inn side by side, and the people around them were envious.
But at this time, a group of officials suddenly came, all with swords at their waists, surrounded by a gorgeously dressed person.
Hu Ye looked at the person in the middle curiously, that dress was very unique, and only the eunuchs in the palace dared to wear it like this in Nanjing City.
Originally, they thought that this group of people were passing by the inn, but they didn't expect that more than a dozen officials came to the door of the inn around the eunuch, stopped directly, and then took a large number of glances at the inn.
Then the eunuch said sharply, "Who is Hu Ye, come out and speak." ”
Hu Ye was taken aback, is it not enough for one Ruan An to fight his own idea, but also to have another eunuch to fight his own idea? But I don't seem to know this eunuch at all.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, Hu Ye couldn't dodge, so he could only stand up.
"I'm Hu Ye, I don't know what my father-in-law has to say." Hu Ye replied quietly, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they don't dare to mess around.
"Well, it's not bad, it's a talent." The eunuch glanced at Hu Ye carefully, and then said in a weird manner, making Hu Ye break out in a cold sweat. Xindao This eunuch is really a special group of people, let's not mess with it.
"Take it." After the eunuch looked at it, he then took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said to Hu Ye slowly. (To be continued......)
