"Brother Shang, don't make fun of me, I'm already a married person."

Shen Yichen replied with a smile, he really didn't expect Shang Zhen to be joking.

In the past, the understanding of Shang Zhen came from the lines of history books, which recorded that his personality was simple and simple, generous and tolerant, as if he had been fixed and face-painted.

Now Shen Yichen is not facing those few lines of words, but living people, they also have their own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and they can no longer be examined with stereotypical images.

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, it was Shang Chen's turn to be full of surprise.

Because he had also heard the rumors that Shen Yichen and the only daughter of the Marquis of Taining were married, but the business did not take it seriously, after all, the Marquis of Taining had a very high standard for choosing a son-in-law, and the children of non-dukes and princes were not in the eyes of the law.

Shen Yichen is very good, but his status is still a little worse than Taininghou's requirements.

It's just that now when Shen Yichen personally said that he was married, then there is a high probability that the rumors in the market have been confirmed, and the woman is really the only daughter of Taining Hou?

"Brother Shen, the person you are talking about is the only daughter of the Marquis of Taining?"

The merchant asked tentatively, he was not a person who liked to inquire. However, the matter is boiling, and now that the person concerned is at the scene again, it is better to simply confirm it.

"Well, on the day of the trial list, the Duke of Chengguo made a family affair for me and the Taining Marquis Mansion."

When Shen Yichen personally confirmed, the new scholars who were present to receive the jinshi scarf clothes showed a sound of amazement.

What is called a winner in life, this is it!

became famous at a young age and became on the emperor's list, and also reached a marriage with the daughter of a relative, which not only won the return of the beauty, but also added a big boost to his career in the future.

It's really envious of others!

Sun Shaozong and the others were amazed by everyone's emotion, and their faces were simply green.

At the wedding banquet of the Chengguo Mansion that day, he had already been hit by Shen Yichen's release of the list and marriage, but he didn't expect to revisit it again today.

Isn't it just marrying the daughter of a marquis? One day, when Lao Tzu is a great leader in the world, he will definitely have to marry the daughter of the prince himself, and there will always be a time when you will be overwhelmed!

Of course, the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel, these brothers don't know at present, and the world will also be Shen Yichen's......

Just when Shen Yichen was about to change his clothes back, a group of people came in from outside the house. They are not the new members of the Yichou family, on the contrary, the group of new science and technology scholars in the house have to salute when they see the comers.

Because this group of people is a national eunuch official headed by Li Shimian!

"Meet the Great Priest in the evening!"

The sound of the salute of the others also reminded Shen Yichen, and he hurriedly stopped, bowed and saluted: "I will meet the Dasi clan in the evening." ”

"All beings need no courtesy."

Li Shimian raised his hand and motioned for the new science and technology scholars to get up.

Then he quickened his pace, came directly to Shen Yichen, and arched his hand at him: "Hui Yuanlang, please accept the old man's worship!" ”

"If Shen Huiyuan hadn't stepped forward that day, I'm afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

The consequence in Li Shimian's mouth does not refer to the safety of several of them alone. Instead, he was at the center of the "storm", and he witnessed the chaos of the scene at that time, how many students fell in the crowd, trampled and unable to get up.

If it weren't for Shen Yichen standing up and shouting to preside over the overall situation, today's Guozijian would probably have an extra literati grave!

Affectionate and reasonable, public and private, Shen Yichen deserves his own worship!

Seeing the Guozi priest saluting to him, Shen Yichen hurriedly dodged sideways, and then grabbed Li Shimian's arm.

The Great Si clan is the leader of the Heavenly Sect Masters, and if he accepts this gift calmly, he is afraid that he will be drowned by spit. And the humble and cautious reputation accumulated before will also have a big reversal, which is really not worth it.

"The Great Si Clan is really tormented by his late life, and he can't afford it!"

Shen Yichen, as a subordinate, did not dare to accept this gift, but Li Shimian did not think so.

"In the old man's heart, Shen Huiyuan deserves to be righteous!"

Seeing this scene, many of the new science and technology scholars present who had not participated in the knocking and complaining were simply stunned.

The Great Si Clan, who is known as the Grandmaster of the Heavenly People, actually reversed and saluted Shen Yichen, how big a row can this be?

"The Great Si clan still hopes that he will not be embarrassed to be born late, I really dare not be."

Shen Yichen was a little helpless, he always knew that Li Shimian's personality was extremely upright and inflexible.

When Li Shimian was still a petty official, in the face of the idea of moving the capital to Beijing such as Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, he dared to write more than a dozen admonitions to refute it, and he also ate a year in prison for this.

Li Shimian didn't care about this experience, and when Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne, he began to die again. And the emperor announced that he was questioned in front of the palace, but he was still very tough and didn't admit it at all, and the emperor began to spray against him!

With Akihito's generous character, he couldn't help it, and angrily asked the imperial guards to hammer him with a golden melon, and this beat broke three ribs.

It stands to reason that it's so miserable, Li Shimian should keep a low profile, right?

The answer is that life is endless, and the emperor is not only tough, but Li Shimian has inherited the fighting style of the literati very well.

In the face of the next emperor, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, he was still tough and outspoken. It's just that he was close to the prince's suggestion back then, which helped Zhu Zhanji in a sense, so Xuande was not too embarrassed for a while, and he was reinstated.

When he arrived in Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, he may be old, and as the head of education as the prince of the country, he has little contact with current affairs. Li Shimian kept a lot of low profile, at least there was no more hard emperor.

But the emperor is no longer tough, and the toughness and uprightness in his bones are still there, so something offended Wang Zhen happened......

It may be said that Li Shimian's life is a life of struggle.

However, as soon as he returned to Gang, Li Shimian's knowledge and conduct were still respected by the courtiers and the students of Guozijian.

In the twelfth year of orthodoxy, Zhishi returned to his hometown, and nearly 3,000 courtiers and Guozijian students practiced for him, which is not available to many first-class masters of this scale.

It can be regarded as the best recognition of his identity as a big priest.

Looking at Shen Yichen's repeated resignations, Li Shimian also understood that he would look forward to others with his own identity, and continue to salute and thank him, I am afraid that it will have a negative effect.

So he didn't insist any longer, withdrew his hand and said: "Hui Yuanlang is young but high-spirited, and the old man is deeply admired." ”

"Today, Shen Huiyuan came to Guozijian to receive the Jinshi scarf clothes, and it stands to reason that the old man should do his best to thank the landlord. However, considering that tomorrow's Golden Palace will be sloppy, I can only regret it. ”

"If there is time in the coming days, the old man hopes to invite Yuan Lang to give a lecture in the country, I wonder if he can get his wish?"

Guozijian lectures?

Hearing these words, the audience was in an uproar.

You must know that Guozijian's lectures are not the kind of universities in later generations, so you can casually invite a lecturer to come over and talk about it, and you can get on as long as you are a little famous.

There are two kinds of lectures in ancient times, one of which is to go up and speak by yourself, and to achieve this standard, you must be a great Confucian master of the current dynasty.

Even if Shen Yichen is currently a member of high school, it can only represent his success in the imperial examination, and it does not mean that he has made achievements in studying Confucian classics.

What's more, Shen Yichen is too young and not qualified enough, and it is difficult to be convincing when he preaches the scriptures in the hall.

The second is that the emperor inspects the Guozijian and will arrange a lecture for the officials of the Guozijian, similar to the imperial chair. This kind of requirements for academic achievement are lower, but the content restrictions are very strict, and the leading power of personnel arrangement is in the hands of Guozi Priest Wine.

In the ninth year of orthodoxy, that is, last year, Zhu Qizhen inspected the Jingshi Guozijian, and Li Shimian explained the "Book of Shang" for him. Because he spoke thoroughly and clearly, the emperor was very pleased, and he rewarded many rewards.

If it weren't for Li Shimian's resignation when he was old, I'm afraid there would be the joy of promotion.

It can be seen that no matter what kind of lecture Guozijian is, it will be extremely helpful to Shen Yichen's reputation and career.

Li Shimian's move is simply to help Shen Yichen build a green ladder, how can he not shock the new science and technology scholars present?

"Da Si Shi, he is a shallow student in his later years, and I am afraid that he will not be able to afford ......"

To be honest, hearing such a good thing as Guozijian's lecture, Shen Yichen was also very moved.

However, he is not completely lost, and understands that his achievements in the imperial examination are all examination-oriented education, which is very different from the lectures of the founding sect in literature.

Not to mention his current fame, he still has a talented reputation. In case you don't talk about the fun, it's really a wave of reverse operations, and I'm afraid that I won't lose money.

"Shen Huiyuan, don't shirk, the old man still has this eye!"

Li Shimian proposed to let Shen Yichen give a lecture, on the one hand, it meant to repay his gratitude, and on the other hand, he really appreciated Shen Yichen's talent.

Whether it is the articles of the township test, the meeting test, or a few poems that have been circulated, all of them are classic masterpieces that are famous all over the world.

Even if this ability is not enough to preach the scriptures and discuss the Tao, it is enough to be an accompaniment to give a lecture to the saint, if Shen Yichen is appreciated by the saint because of this, it can be regarded as having unearthed a virtuous minister for the country, and he has a clear conscience!

"Since the Great Si clan values it so much, then the evening life has no choice but to be disrespectful."

Shen Yichen stubbornly said yes, high risk means high return, in case he can get the reputation of "Emperor Division", there is no need to squat in the Hanlin Academy for a few years in the official career.

Seeing Shen Yichen agree, Li Shimian smiled with a smile on his face, chatted with him a few more words, and then led everyone to leave.

"Brother Shen, I really admire you to be so appreciated by the Da Si clan."

After Xiao Yi watched Li Shimian walk away, he said to Shen Yichen with envy and admiration on his face.

Da Si is upright and upright, not afraid of the powerful, can be valued and appreciated by him, not to mention the real benefits of Guozijian lectures, just winning a good reputation among the literati Qingliu will benefit a lot.

Don't underestimate the role of these pens, words can turn the tide when it matters. Why are many Qingliu leaders who are not highly famous, able to respond to every call and command?

It is because they control the power of public opinion that they can become uncrowned kings.

"Brother Shen, I thought you were extraordinary when the Winter Solstice Poetry Club was below, but now it seems that you are destined to soar into the sky."

Shang Tan also echoed the sentence, and his tone was quite emotional.

After all, Shen Yichen was so inconspicuous when he sat in the last seat back then, but now he is so radiant that people can't ignore it.

"Two brothers, don't come to this compliment. Now it's getting late, so let's change out of the scarf and go home early to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony. ”

Shen Yichen replied with a smile, and went to the small room to change his clothes. Then he said goodbye to Xiao Yi and Shang Yu, and prepared to return to the Chengguo Mansion while the sunset.

Looking at the back of Shen Yichen's departure, the remaining new science and technology jinshi had extremely complicated emotions, why is the gap so big for the same high school jinshi?

On March 18, the tenth year of orthodoxy, the three-day work of marking and filling in the list has been completed, and it is time for the triennial ceremony.

The ceremony is a major event of the country, the emperor personally presides, and if there is no special event for civil and military officials, there will be no shortage of absences. Accompanied by the starlight before sunrise, countless carriages drove in the direction of the Forbidden City, raising a cloud of dust.

Shen Yichen set off very early today, because of this kind of large-scale ceremony in the court, the number of people present will be very large. Even before dawn, the road to the Forbidden City is already congested.

The Ming Dynasty had a strict system of superiority and inferiority, and the lower officials had to bow and avoid when they saw the upper officials. That is to say, two carriages go together, and the lower one has to give way to the higher level.

The new science and technology jinshi has not yet been conferred an official position, and no matter how bright the future prospect is, there is no real official status now. Therefore, when you see an official at any level, you have to give way to the other party, and the time spent on the road is much more than normal.

If he was late for the ceremony, the consequences could be imagined, and Shen Yichen didn't dare to play any tricks.

With the sound of shaking and "creaking", the carriage slowly moved forward to avoid constantly. After stopping, Shen Yichen lifted the curtain and saw that the city gate was already dark and full of people at this moment.

However, it can still be clearly seen that it is divided into two groups, one group is the civil and military officials wearing court clothes, and the other group is naturally the new branch jinshi wearing jinshi scarf clothes.

Originally, Shen Yichen thought that he had come early enough, but looking at this, the new science and technology scholars did not say that all the staff had arrived, and it was estimated that they were still the "backward" person.

, Zhongjin Shi is a sure thing, as for the involution?

With a little helplessness, Shen Yichen jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the group of new science and technology scholars.

After waiting in front of the palace gate of the examination, now Shen Yichen, the Huiyuanlang, is already a familiar face in the eyes of the new science and technology scholars.

It can be said that everyone knows it, and everyone knows it.

So as soon as he walked over, many people greeted him and said, "Shen Huiyuan, fortunately." ”

"Brother Shen, good morning."

"Shen Huiyuan, I hope to win today."

In the face of everyone's greetings, Shen Yichen also returned the salute one by one, and then found Xiao Yi and Shang Chen, and exchanged a few polite words.

It may be that he is about to face the excitement and nervousness of the Golden Palace, but the two of them didn't talk much today, and quietly entered the palace.

However, Shen Yichen and a few people don't speak, it doesn't mean that others don't speak, waiting for boredom in addition to politeness, naturally have to talk about something.

Now in this case, what is the thing that everyone is most concerned about, there is no doubt that it is the issue of the ownership of the champion, guessing who will be the best in the world today!

"Do you think Shen Huiyuan will be in a row today and achieve the grand feat of three yuan and six heads?"

One of the new science and technology scholars asked everyone around him after seeing Shen Yichen arrive.

Theoretically, Shen Yichen has the greatest chance of being the champion in this Yichou Science and Technology Palace, and it is an honor to witness the birth of Sanyuan and the first.

"I think it's very possible, after all, Shen Huiyuan's knowledge, fame, and family background are not bad everywhere, and it is difficult for others to compare with him!"

Originally, this sentence was very reasonable, but I didn't expect a person next to me to pretend to be profound: "Brothers, you only look at the surface, not the inside." ”

"Oh, does this brother have any inside information?"

"I can't talk about the inside story, but I guess that it is difficult for Shen Yichen to win the championship."

"Brother, we would like to hear about it!"

Such a revealing posture immediately attracted the curiosity of everyone around him, and they all gathered around to hear the reason.

"I met the master that day, and I happened to enter the official hall with Shen Yichen, guess what I heard?"

This man began to sell it mysteriously, which caused everyone to itch even more.

"Tell me, what do you hear?"

"I heard Qian Zhangyuan say that if he hadn't worked hard, maybe Shen Yichen's title of Huiyuan would have been someone else."

Hearing this, many new science and technology scholars showed shocked expressions on their faces, they thought that Shen Yichen was at the top of the list, but they didn't expect such twists and turns.

"This also means that Shen Yichen's knowledge is not ahead, as for fame, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise, and the family background may not be called an advantage."

"What does that mean?"

The person next to him was full of doubts, even if Shen Yichen did not enter the genealogy, but Cheng Guogong is now supportive, no different from a concubine, is it not an advantage to have a Guogong backer?

"Although Cheng Guogong is a national prince, but he was born as a military general, we are literati, and the official who reads the papers is a civil official, is it really a family?"

The new science and technology sergeant said all this, and walked away with a smile on his face, and the follow-up words could not be too clear, otherwise he would get into trouble.

It can be said that the biggest obstacle to the monopoly of the civil official group in the early and middle Ming Dynasty was not the authoritarian eunuchs, but the unfailing Xunqi group.

It's just that the struggle between the interests of the two sides is not so fierce, and it is basically impossible to fight the other side in terms of the current situation, so a relative balance is maintained.

But if you want to take power alone, you will inevitably have to weaken the other party's power step by step, and it will be difficult for Shen Yichen, as a son of a gentleman, to gain 100% trust even if he takes the path of a civil official.

If some of the civil leaders choose, will they still choose Shen Yichen, a "second and five boys" who may be backstabbed?

Thinking about this, many people showed an expression of sudden realization on their faces, they only read the sages before, and they didn't hear anything outside the window, and they still had too little knowledge about the competition for the court.

In the future, we must make up for this shortcoming, otherwise in the deceitful officialdom, I am afraid that there will be no bones left in the deceitful officialdom.

The new scholars are discussing the ownership of the champion, and the same is true for the civil and military officials of the imperial court.

After all, with this kind of triennial event, it is difficult for even well-informed officials to maintain the status of outsiders.

The son of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is Guiwei, and naturally he has also received the attention of many ministers and ministers, and many people congratulate him.

"Chengguo Gonghu has no dogs, and today I am afraid that I will have to create the grand event of my Ming Dynasty Sanyuan and Six Heads."

"Giving birth to a son should be like Shen Yichen, it's really a glorious lintel."

"Grandpa has such a unicorn, it's really the envy of others!"

Not only did Cheng Guogong get compliments, but many of the officials who were present at Zhu Ji's wedding banquet that day also congratulated Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining.

"Taining Hou is happy to be a good son-in-law, and today he will be connected to the three yuan!"

"Taining Hou's son-in-law's eyes are really like torches, Ben Hou admires!"

"In the future, Taininghou, you don't have to worry about the little girl anymore, Shen Yichen's son will definitely have a bright future."

Hearing these compliments and congratulations, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, were all smiling, it seems that the hard mandarin duck score that day is really not wrong!

During the conversation, Zhu Yong looked at Shen Yichen in the distance, his eyes were full of relief and pride.

Perhaps at this moment, his first priority is no longer to contribute to the Chengguo Mansion, but his father's pride in his son's achievements.

At the end of the day, the palace gate was opened, and hundreds of civil and military officials entered first, and the new scholars were still waiting outside.

At that time, when all the civil and military officials were ready to enter the palace, the new scholars who were waiting outside the Chengtian Gate entered the palace. The order of standing is no different from that of the palace test, and the venue for the ceremony is still in the Chengtian Palace.

With the morning light of the morning sun, Shen Yichen paced forward on the masonry of the Forbidden City, and his mood at this moment was completely different from that of the palace exam.

He suddenly had an inexplicable relaxation, no matter what the result of today's preaching is, it will not affect the concept in his heart, that is, to take the world as his own responsibility!

When the new scholars came to the Fengtian Temple Square, the hundred officials had already been divided into civil and military positions, standing on both sides of His Majesty. And the jinshi stood in two columns on both sides of the dan pier below, just like the temple test.

At this time, in the Huagai Hall (now the Zhonghe Palace), the deacon rolled the imperial list and handed it to the cabinet ministers, held it in front of the Fengtian Hall and then handed it over to the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Yu Dan was in the middle of the yellow case.

All the new science and technology scholars stared intently at this volume of the imperial list, and their hearts were excited. The words written on it will determine the fate of your life!

Soon the sound of ceremonial music sounded, and accompanied by three whips, the guide led Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and also came from the Huagai Hall to the Fengtian Hall to ascend to the hall. Hundreds of civil and military officials and all new science and technology scholars bowed five times and bowed three times to the emperor.

When he got up after the ceremony, he saw an official of Honglu Temple walking out of the queue and standing in front of the yellow case where the imperial list was placed. Before the new science and technology scholars could react to what they were going to do, they heard the system official singing: "There is a system!" ”

Hearing this shout, the new Kogons fell to their knees, and at this moment they already knew in their hearts that the most important moment of the Legion was coming.

Seeing that the new scholars had already knelt down, the official continued to read out the edict: "On March 15, the tenth year of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, the world will be tested. The first class is given to the Jinshi and the first, the second is given to the Jinshi origin, and the third is given to the same Jinshi origin. ”

With that, he nodded to the Honglu Temple official behind him.

Seeing this, the officials of Honglu Temple picked up the imperial list on the yellow case and slowly spread it out.

This action is placed in the eyes of the new science and technology scholars, and the heart is suspended!

The roll call is different from the township examination, which does not start from the back, but directly shouts the name of the champion.

"Will it be my son?"

Looking at the imperial list in the hands of the officials of Honglu Temple, Zhu Yong, who had seen countless winds and waves, felt that his body was trembling a little at this moment.

"Could it be me?"

Shen Yichen also looked at it, but the emotions in his heart were very complicated, and he didn't know how to describe it for a while.

I saw that the official of Honglu Temple cleared his throat, and then said loudly.

"The first place in the orthodox ten-year B Chou Ke Palace Examination ......"

The voice paused, and then shouted word by word: "Shen Yichen!" ”

156 Golden Temple (2-in-1 Lengthened)
