Chapter 139 The first place in the temple examination
(Bow and thank you for the Crystal Wish" precious pink ticket for two kisses!) Your support is the biggest motivation for one-minded creation! By this time tomorrow, if you can add 5 more powder tickets, you will add a new chapter! Boom ...... )
In the Hanyuan Palace, the palace test in the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenguan is nearing the end.
This kind of examination is especially in front of the high-ranking Ninety-Five. No scholar dared to hand in the papers in advance, and in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he was given the impression of acting frivolously. Therefore, even if there are scholars who have completed the examination papers, they have to carefully examine and scrutinize their own strategies and poems again with a very rigorous attitude. Of course, more scholars are still copying from the draft to the official examination paper stroke by stroke......
Jiang Zhixuan was the same, he was slightly nervous in his heart, and sweat was faintly overflowing from his palms. There was still half an hour before the handing in of the paper, and his thesis had just been copied. The poems, based on the title of the Treatise, were still in his mind, and had not yet been written down on scratch paper. If it's still like now, I'm afraid it will be too late.
I saw that most of the scholars had already put down their brushes and studied the exam papers in both hands. Jiang Zhixuan was heartbroken, and he didn't make drafts, and directly lifted the brush. On the exam paper, Long Feifeng wrote it down:
The weak crown is not the first to mourn,
pious for the national military wheel;
Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain,
Iron Horse Glacier is coming to a dream!
From the moment he got the exam papers, Jiang Zhixuan was overjoyed in his heart. Last night, he and his beloved wife discussed this policy topic in detail. And the small analysis gave him a lot of inspiration. According to his estimate, most of the ministers in the DPRK and China are probably those who advocate peace. That's why His Majesty is in a bit of a dilemma, but with His Majesty's temperament, the rebellion of the mountain bureaucrats is a thorn in his flesh and a nail in his eye. Therefore, in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that he very much wants to send troops to recruit and suppress the mountain bureaucrats!
Jiang Zhixuan is not an ordinary pedantic scholar, otherwise he would not have personally taken care of the farm during his little pregnancy and dealt with the copper-smelling Zhufugui and others. A person like him knows the current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. Naturally, I know how to answer this policy question, so as to win the favor and love of His Majesty the Emperor and win the biggest bargaining chips for myself.
As far as he knows, since Zhenguan ten years ago, the Shanban clan has invaded the southwestern border towns more than 30 times in a row, slaughtering more than 2,000 people of the Tang Dynasty, and taking away countless gold, silver, cattle and sheep. In addition, nearly 1,000 women were humiliated. Hundreds of people with superior appearance were forcibly taken away and used as the first objects and fertility tools of the mountain bureaucrats.
This is also one of the important reasons why Xiao Xiao hates the mountain clan and hopes that the imperial court will be conscripted by force. In Xiaoxiao's opinion, the behavior of this mountain clan's clan is almost the same as that of the Japanese devils in later generations, and she has long wondered why Li Shimin can still bear it......
It was for these reasons that Jiang Zhixuan vigorously advocated the supremacy of force in his policy discussions. The barbarian people, who do not accept the indoctrination of the Celestial Empire, and have repeatedly raised troops to cause rebellion, must be used with iron and blood. Otherwise, scabies may turn into a major problem! Of course, as a scholar, Jiang Zhixuan still expressed his attitude at the end: "Perform thunderbolt means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva!" ”。
As for the poem, Jiang Zhixuan struck while the iron was hot, expressing his ambition: if the spring is not the first, he will not feel sorry for himself. I just hope to be able to defend the border for the country. Even in a dream, you can dream of riding an armored war horse, stepping across an icy river, galloping on the frontier......
Although his riding skills are very average, he has nine out of ten skills in martial arts......
According to the system, after the palace examination, a group of jinshi can enjoy a banquet given by the emperor. Whatever the final outcome of the temple test, it is no small consolation. As for the results of the temple examination, they will not be made public to the world until the day of the New Year's Hope five days later.
Shuowang is a big court meeting on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and all officials above the ninth rank in Beijing must participate. In normal times, only officials of the fifth rank or above can participate. To put it simply, the weekday morning meeting is like the daily meeting of a company's department manager, and Shuowang is a half-month summary, which all department heads and foremen must attend......
After the palace examination was over, sure enough, someone from the palace came and arranged for a group of scholars to eat in the imperial dining room. As for the 300 branch hall examination papers, Li Xiaogong and Qin Yifeng first collected them, and the two of them first roughly arranged a noun, and waited for Li Shimin to take a look at it, and then pointed out the champions, tanhua and list eyes of Jinke Chunyu, as well as the thirty-six Hanlin bachelors in the second class. Other Jinshi and Tongjinshi need to be re-evaluated by the officials, and according to their results, they are either officials in the middle and lower counties of foreign parties, or recommended to be staff members under the officials of the major feudal territories.
It's getting late. Xiaoxiao and Empress Changsun had been chatting in Qifeng Pavilion for an afternoon. At noon, the eldest grandson queen ordered someone to pass some melon and fruit snacks, which were used with Xiaoxiao. He also ordered someone to bring the little son over, as for the little adult Li Zhi, he now has homework to do every day, if he doesn't finish it, he will be unable to leave an inch in the south study.
At this time, the eldest grandson queen was holding the tiger's head in her arms, and the little son was obediently snuggled in the little arms. Just as the little one likes the little son, the eldest grandson queen also loves the little guy Tiger Head very much. In the royal family, you are the queen. All her children are dragon sons and dragon girls, since she was born, there are countless nurses and mothers-in-law who are meticulously serving, she has never had the opportunity to breastfeed her children herself, and even the opportunity to hold them is very rare. Even the little son had the opportunity to hold her by his side all the time when he was almost two years old. This is because Li Shimin loves his little son the most.
And the little guy Tiger Head, I don't know if it's a big ghost, and he usually thinks that he is tight, but when he arrives in front of the eldest grandson, he is very well-behaved. No, at this time, in the arms of Empress Changsun, a waterfall kept flowing out of her mouth. Giggling and laughing, it made the eldest grandson queen love him so much, and he didn't care at all when his clothes were wet, but kept picking up the melons and fruits on the table and feeding him little by little.
The tiger head didn't know that what he was enjoying was the standard imperial treatment, so he opened his small mouth and bit the food handed over by Empress Changsun, and chewed slowly with a few little tiger teeth that had just grown. The chubby little face trembled, causing the eldest grandson queen to laugh too, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch his chubby, tender little face. The tiger's head was another burst of excitement. The chewing action stopped, and he looked at the eldest grandson queen who was looking at him with a smile in a daze. Then grinned, a little embarrassed............ Arching to the eldest grandson's large snow-white chest.
The son here is much more Sven, snuggled between his little knees. Pick out your favorite food from the melon and fruit pot on the table and hand it to Xiaoxiao. Then he stared at a pair of big eyes that flickered like jewels, and watched Xiao Xiao take care of her. When the care was in order, she opened her cherry mouth with an "ah", and Xiaoxiao gently put the food into her mouth, and then gently scraped her little nose. provoked the little girl to laugh coquettishly, constantly grimacing at Xiaoxiao.
Li Shimin strode out of the Hanyuan Palace, and hurriedly wanted to return to the harem. Today also tired him to the core, and the scholars still have something to do, distract some attention. But he had been sitting for four hours, and in order to maintain the image of the king of a country, he could not even make the movement of his feet. I can only sit flat like this......
Therefore, as soon as the palace test was over, he hurriedly wanted to go back to the harem and find the eldest grandson queen to massage and relax for him. When he is tired of dealing with the government, he finds Guanyin to massage and relax, which has become a habit for him. But hurriedly returned to the harem, but could not find the queen, a inquiry, it turned out that Guanyin maid went to Qifeng Pavilion today, and went to listen to the news of Chunfu nearby. This made him laugh in his heart: I haven't read the paper yet, what news can you hear. Thinking like this in his heart, his footsteps did not stop, and he hurriedly set up the Qifeng Pavilion.
When he shouted "Guanyin" and rushed to Qifeng Pavilion, the eldest grandson queen was also saying goodbye to Xiaoxiao, still holding a tiger's head in her arms. Li Shimin saw that his favorite little daughter was held in the hands of a pretty woman. And his beloved Guanyin was holding a cute fat boy who jumped out of nowhere, and he couldn't help but be full of doubts!
Empress Changsun saw that His Majesty was coming, but she was just a blessing and was about to be introduced. But seeing that Xiaoxiao had already knelt down on his knees, he bowed and said:
"Minwoman Xiao, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"
Li Shimin glanced at Empress Changsun in confusion, and saw Empress Changsun nodding at him with a smile. That's when I woke up:
"It turns out that you are Xiao Xiaoxiao, hurry up and calm down!" There is a natural majesty in the voice.
Sure enough, it is worthy of a generation of Ming Jun, this voice is so majestic! Xiao Xiao thought of it, but he didn't dare to be idle:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!".
When she stood up, she couldn't help but look up at the king of a country. made Li Shimin stunned, whether it was the princes, ministers or ordinary people, no one had ever dared to look at him so blatantly. In my heart, I was very curious about this long-known Mrs. Xie Yuan> I was very curious: just daring to stare at me with this courage, even countless men with eyebrows could not reach it!
At this time, Empress Changsun said:
"Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao is the benefactor of the concubine. Today I was invited by the concubines to chat with the concubines in the palace to relieve my boredom! ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled and said: "Very good, very good, I am busy with state affairs every day, and I am very happy to have someone to talk to Guanyin and relieve my boredom." As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the whisper:
"Xiao, I allow you to enter and leave the Daming Palace at will, and if you have nothing to do in the future, you will often come to the palace to accompany my Guanyin maid and the little son to chat and talk!"
Empress Eldest Sun rolled her eyes, and said in a coquettish voice: "The concubine has already given the customs clearance Yujue Yu Xiaoxiao, Your Majesty is a little too much, giggle......"
Xiao Xiao Xiao was stunned for a while, dare to say this about Li Shimin, aren't you afraid that he will turn his face? Unexpectedly, Li Shimin didn't care at all, and said happily: "In that case, then I will hold a banquet tonight to entertain the great benefactor of Guanyin, so you are satisfied, right?" Fewer words haha! ”
A joy in a little heart: This Li Shimin is really as said in history, in front of the eldest grandson queen, he is as docile as a kitten. I took the route of Empress Changsun by myself, and I really went the right way. In my heart, I was even more determined to have a good relationship with the eldest grandson queen, and it was time for my own health prescriptions, as well as the kind of pads I invented, Arabic numerals, and a series of things, to come in handy......
However, I heard that Li Shimin said that he wanted to invite her to dinner. I can't help but hesitate a little in my heart: at this time, the husband may have returned to his father's house, although the mother knows that she has come to the palace, but she has not returned for a long time, I am afraid that the husband will also be worried. But His Majesty gave a banquet, and this must not be shirked, and it seems that he can only send someone back to inform him. Thinking like this, he was about to speak, but he saw Empress Changsun beckoning a guard:
"You go to the Li Mansion to inform you, and say that tonight the palace and His Majesty will hold a banquet to entertain Mrs. Jiang" >, if it is late, stay in the palace for one night, and return tomorrow, so that they don't have to worry! ”
The guard took the order and departed. I was impressed in my little heart: she was really a virtuous queen who was famous through the ages, and she was reasonable and meticulous in her work. At that moment, Ying Ying was blessed again: "Your Majesty, Xie Niangniang is a thousand years old!" ”
Empress Eldest Sun snorted angrily: "Why did you forget that when there are no outsiders, we want sisters" > commensurate! ”
Li Shimin next to him was stunned: "Sisters > commensurate?" Why is Guanyin so enthusiastic about this Xiao family? At the moment, the interest in small things has increased a little.
Li Shimin said that he was holding a banquet to entertain Xiaoxiao, but he just showed his face at the dinner table, and after a little meaning, he left in a hurry. A Xiao family, although he can be regarded as an indirect life-saving benefactor of Guanyin, is not worth his time to waste. He wanted to go back to the imperial study and carefully review the examination papers of the Spring Palace Examination of this department. Leave the eldest grandson queen to accompany Xiaoxiao, and enjoy a large table of dazzling delicacies carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen.
It wasn't until Li Shimin read an exam paper that he was very impressed with admiration that he faintly understood why Guanyin was so polite to the Xiao family. The gratitude in my heart for my virtuous queen increased a few points, and I gently put down the exam paper, and said in my heart:
"Guanyin, my good intentions, I understand ......"
mentioned the vermilion royal pen at the moment, and on the exam paper, Long Feifeng wrote a few big words: The first name of the palace examination - champion!
At this time, Jiang Zhixuan did not return to his father-in-law's house early as Xiao Xiao expected. Instead, he followed the thirty-six people of the New Dragon Gate Inn in the same year, and went towards the Jingshi Drunken Moon Tower.
Regardless of the outcome, the spring of the eleventh year of Zhenguan has come to an end. Whether it is sad or happy, five days later, all the same year will go their separate ways. Therefore, although Jiang Zhixuan wanted to go home early, he was really embarrassed not to attend this farewell banquet, so he had to go with Li Qin's encouragement.
Neither Xiaoxiao nor Jiang Zhixuan knew that just now, the fate of the husband and wife had been completely changed by the six big characters written by a vermilion royal pen......
