October's Bingyin year imperial examination was set up because of the emperor's decree, the initial message to the world was in March this year after the great court meeting, the Ming Dynasty territory is vast, in order to make the world can catch up, so it is set in the autumn and winter season.

By September, most of the people in the north and south had already arrived in Beijing.

After Emperor Zhengde succeeded to the throne, the changes in the Beijing division were even greater, the west city set up a academy and a medical center, the east city set up a city that never sleeps, the main entrance of the red lantern was hung, the eaves were all over, such as flying cranes spreading their wings; In the south of the southern city of Jingshi, wooden houses combining brick and wood gradually appeared.

Shops, tea shops, and restaurants are becoming more and more prosperous because there are more people with money to spend, and merchants gather here, even the troupes who go south and north like to find a vacant land in Beijing and sell their crafts.

Many people from all over the country who came to Beijing for the first time were shocked to see such a prosperous city in the world.

Zhang Xuan, the son of Wenzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, who has passed the year of establishment, is in such an emotion, looking at the first city in the world.

Most of the people in the Zhejiang Guild Hall are the same as him.

Zhang Xuan sat in the corner of the hall, listening to several young people in more bright clothes in the center of the hall, talking loudly.

Next to him was an old man with gray hair, holding a book in his hand, no matter how lively the side was, it didn't seem to disturb him, and under his white beard, his lips kept moving slightly, as if he was reading an article in a book.

This is the third time he has gone to Beijing to take the exam, and he has seen people with gray hair, but there are few people who are so serious.

"Fortunately."

Another young man at the same table was enthusiastic and accosted him.

Zhang Zhang's qualifications are ordinary, and he is not a person with a prominent family background, so he is still a little shy, not as hearty and generous as the young man on his right, "The old people are still learning in the city, and the younger generations are not as good as them." ”

But the old man didn't listen to what he was saying

This person was a little embarrassed, but he just smiled, and arched his hand at Zhang Xuan, "In Xia Ge Dabao, I don't know my brother's surname?" ”

"In Xia Zhang Xuan, a person from Wenzhou Mansion."

The old man still had no intention of participating in their conversation.

This Ge Dabao chuckled lightly and said: "I heard that the construction of the imperial court's library has started, and it is a matter of sufficient silver and manpower, and the library will be completed in a year at most." ”

In this way,

The old man reluctantly looked up, "Is it really only a year?" ”

"Your Majesty is urging you tightly, even for half a year."

One sentence erased for half a year, and when the old man heard that this was a speech, he didn't want to deal with it.

Ge Dabao was really not afraid of being disliked, and turned to Zhang Xuan and said: "The imperial imperial examination is only once every three years, but there is just one subject in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and it should have been three years of Zhengde, but it was advanced to the first year of Zhengde, does Brother Zhang know why?" ”

"Why?" Zhang Xuan was also a little curious.

"It's because of Zhejiang."

When the imperial court opened the sea, the scholars in Zhejiang reacted most violently.

That time, it angered the court and the emperor, so I don't know how many people were stripped of their fame.

The impact of that incident is still in Zhejiang.

Whether there is fame or not, the difference between an individual and a family is too great.

Some people, with a bunch of acres of land hanging in their names, were all taken back overnight, and this feeling of the world's heat and coldness permeated the entire city of Hangzhou.

But the imperial court has a way, if you offend Zhejiang, you are not afraid, the emperor will send down Enke, and in the first year of Zhengde, thousands of people gathered, and people from other provinces only feel that there is a God-given opportunity, who cares about Zhejiang. Only Zhejiang's own people will be a little sad.

"His Majesty the Emperor decreed the establishment of a medical hall, a academy, and a library of books.

The old man, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke, glanced at Zhang Xuan, and said, "I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only read the books of sages and sages." The words of others are useless and boring to listen to. ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly became a little wary.

At this time, the street suddenly became lively, several fast horses galloped in Beijing, and the people along the street fled to the side in panic.

Zhang Xuan only felt that the voice came from far and near, but the voices were full of voices and could not be heard clearly, and he only saw people clapping their heads and being quite excited.

I didn't hear it until I got closer,

"Great news! Datong good news! ”

The old man next to Zhang Xuan gave up his books and ran to the railing on the second floor, as surprised as an old naughty boy, "The sword suddenly spread to collect thistle, and the first time I heard it, I was full of tears." But seeing where his wife was worried, he was ecstatic with poems and books. Singing during the day must be indulged in wine, and youth is a good companion to return home! Daming has won again! ”

Zhang Xuan also laughed, and stepped forward to help the old man, because this old guy shouted at the top of his voice, and his body was slightly unstable, he was really crazy with an old man.

"Back then, the poet Saint Du Fu was in decline through the Tang Dynasty, and I returned to the old Lingye, but it was through decline and prosperity! Thankfully! On this grand occasion, how can you not sing it with poetry? ”

The spirit of the literati is closely related to the quality of the world.

In the Tang Dynasty, most of the poems made by poets were magnificent, and they themselves were ambitious, and Du Fu was obvious.

At the beginning, he wrote his ambition, called 'will be at the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains', and wrote about war horses, called 'There is no space in the direction, it is really worthy of life and death.'" Xiaoteng has this, thousands of miles can be rampant! ’。

It can be seen that the national strength is strong and the territory is expanded, which can stimulate the pride of the people, so even scholars are eager to go into battle to kill the enemy.

But after the Anshi Rebellion, what did Du Fu write?

'The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring. ’

Inside the city, the grass and trees are deep, and the dilapidation after the prosperity to decline is shocking.

wrote about meeting his old friend Li Guinian, called 'It is common to see it in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang has heard it a few times before'.

Back then, he was under the door of King Qi with Li Guinian, which was also a momentary scene, but now? The Tang Dynasty is no more, there are no eggs under the nest, he wanders by himself, and Li Guinian also lives in the south of the Yangtze River.

The two old men got together, thinking back on the past, and then looking at the present, they really wanted to hug their heads and cry.

Even now, the Japanese wrote the book "Japanese Can Say No" in 1989, the culmination. Later, it was all abandoned houses.

Therefore, the emotions and self-confidence of the people are directly related to the strength of the country.

Now that the Beijing teachers suddenly heard the good news thousands of miles away, the scholars naturally became excited all of a sudden.

However, young people are somewhat frivolous, and it is probably the old people who have gone through the years of precipitation to better understand what the word "strong" is.

Zhang Xuan looked at the old man happily like a child,

He spreads books and splashes ink,

The heavy brush is a song:

Shenzhou is almost clutched, the mountains and rivers are back again, and thousands of miles are ordered by the king to kill millions of soldiers!

This poem is too murderous.

Zhang Xuanxin said, this is also an old man, if he is really a young man, I am afraid that he will have to abandon his pen and follow Rong and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!

And here it is written, and in the hall over there, there are still people who recite the words of Xin Qiji, saying that 'men are as dead as iron!' Look at the test hand, mend the crack! ’

It's all crazy, it's all crazy.

……

The palace is no better.

Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Qianqing Palace for the first time in front of the report, the wind blew the corners of his dragon robe backwards, and behind him was a group of old ministers, and some people with bad legs and feet had to be supported, and they didn't dare to stop keeping up with the emperor.

The group was in a hurry, and the momentum was not small.

When the emperor reached the top of the marble steps, the Ming soldiers in military uniforms knelt on their knees with their hands raised above their heads.

Zhu Houzhao took the report, opened it in a flash, quickly glanced at it, and once it was confirmed, the excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he turned to face his courtiers with one hand of the good news,

"The Ming Dynasty will always be there, and the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there!
