Shen Shangshu's recital has two main contents, one is to calm down the criticism, and ask the palace to test the eight strands; Second, in order to prevent missing questions, please ask Your Majesty to turn the book in person to temporarily turn the book to write the questions.

Regarding these two requests, no one could make a decision for the emperor, and Song Shu was sent directly to Emperor Wanli in the inner palace.

Seeing this recital, Emperor Wanli summoned Zhang Jing, the governor of Dongchang, to interrogate.

After the results of the previous examination came out, Zhang Whale mentioned the controversy about Huiyuan to Emperor Wanli in his daily report, and then Emperor Wanli asked Dongchang to find out the "truth".

Hearing the emperor ask about Huiyuan Lin Tailai again, Zhang Whale played: "Recently, the secret agent visited many scholars in Beijing, and they all said that Lin Tailai never discussed the Bagu Wen with others, and never made the Bagu Wen in public.

In addition, he also specially interviewed some Suzhou candidates, and it is said that when Lin Tailai was studying in Suzhou, he never wrote Bagu Wen in Suzhou.

Every time he learns to write at home, Lin Tailai takes the articles he has written at home to deal with. It is also rumored that they were all ghostwritten by a curtain man named Gao Changjiang. ”

"You just say the judgment results!" Emperor Wanli said impatiently.

Zhang Whale immediately took out a very positive tone again, and replied seemingly professionally: "Based on dozens of pieces of information, it can be concluded that Lin Tailai's level of craftsmanship is not high, and he should not be able to reach the rank of Huiyuan." ”

Emperor Wanli asked again: "Then how did this Huiyuan come about?" ”

Zhang Jing once again expressed his professional judgment: "It should be Shoufu Shen Shixing who put pressure on the examiner Xu Guo, Xu Guo was angry, and deliberately ordered Lin Tailai to be the Huiyuan, so that Lin Tailai fell into controversy." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli personally lifted the Zhu pen and wrote a "quasi" on the note.

Zhang Whale himself started with others to fight against the giant eunuch Feng Bao, and his political level is not high, and he is only good at scavenging money outside.

Whenever he was in trouble, he relied on sending gold and silver treasures to Emperor Wanli to get by.

Seeing this, Zhang Whale hurriedly slandered and said: "I heard that Shoufu Shen Shixing intends to create auspicious rui and let Lin Tailai take the exam for a civil and military nine-yuan grand slam.

If the world thinks that the emperor has won auspiciousness, and Lin Tailai Huiyuan is punctured again, it will make the emperor a laughing stock in the world. ”

Emperor Wanli said to himself: "I am still more willing to ask for a fake Huiyuan than true auspiciousness. ”

If Shen Shixing made a big scandal like fake Huiyuan, wouldn't he be caught by himself, the emperor?

When the courtiers come to fight for the country again, they can force Shen Shixing to help him match the line.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli suddenly looked forward to the palace test.

Either it is a true auspicious rui or a fake Huiyuan, no matter how the ministers fight, the emperor will definitely not lose.

The game at the top level of the Ming Empire was still too far away from the candidates, and the candidates couldn't feel it at all.

Now for the candidates, it is the carnival of those who are on the list, and the people who are not on the list wipe away their tears, and I don't know if there will be a next time.

Even if there is no Lin Tailai as a focal figure, there are many "topics" on the list of Wanli in the seventeenth year.

For example, after research by interested people, it was found that there were two major groups on the list.

The first group is that there are nine Wuxi County scholars on the list, and this achievement is very dazzling, which can be regarded as a direct explosion.

Of course, in the eyes of the traverser Lin Daguan, these Wuxi County scholars on the list are even more meaningful.

There are Gu Xiancheng's close assistant Gao Panlong, Gu Xiancheng's friend Ye Maocai, and Gu Xiancheng's student An Xifan

Coupled with Xue Fujiao (Gu Xiancheng's classmate and grandson of Gu Xiancheng's teacher) in Wujin County next door, half of the eight gentlemen of Donglin in later generations were in the same year.

As for what the second group on the list is, most people will not talk about it in front of Lin Daguan.

After the examination, the Ministry of Rites will hold a Chinese-style banquet, which can be regarded as a rehearsal for the Qionglin banquet of the palace examination.

This kind of official banquet attended by all Chinese-style people must still be based on communication, and everyone is keen to get acquainted with each other in the same year, and this is all officialdom connections in the future.

Although Lin Daguan came relatively late, as long as he appeared, he would immediately be a superstar in the limelight.

His left rear is Jin Shiheng, Chen Yunjian, and Shen Fu, and his right rear is Wang Yusheng, Zhou Yingqiu, and Dong Qichang.

It is the pattern of Suzhou Fuxue, one dragon and four tigers, plus Zhou Yingqiu and Dong Qichang's foreign aid.

Lin Daguan has a good eye for making friends, and these people in the circle of friends were originally Jinshi in history, coupled with mysterious luck, they all passed the exam together.

With the support of the six people on the left and right, Lin Daguan walked into the venue with his own rhythmic steps.

Standing in the center of the most shining venue, Lin Daguan's cold gaze roamed left and right, and he asked in his mouth: "Which one is Jiangyou Wu Daonan?" ”

A thin man took two steps forward, but did not dare to go any further, and said with a little stammer: "I, I have never known you, and I have never offended you." ”

Lin Daguan suddenly laughed, walked up to Wu Daonan, and greeted him warmly: "Ah! It turns out that Your Excellency is Brother Wu! Looking up for a long time, I can only know Jing today! ”

The six people who followed Lin Daguan nodded together and signaled to Wu Daonan.

Wu Daonan, who came from a remote mountain village, saw this battle and was a little confused.

Lin Daguan and Wu Daonan exchanged pleasantries for a while, and suddenly said: "We have a lot of shady scenes on this list, and there is a Gu family class, and they are all on the list." ”

Wu Daonan was speechless, you Lin Huiyuan said that there are "many shady scenes", is it a bit of a thief shouting to catch a thief?

A friend from the same province next to him subconsciously asked, "What is Gu Jiaban?" ”

Lin Daguan said loudly: "The so-called Gu family class is the relatives and friends of Gu Xiancheng, the official of the Ministry of Officials!"

Look at our list, Gu Xiancheng's friends, disciples, and classmates are all on the list, what is it if it's not Gu's class? ”

The people around looked at each other and didn't dare to talk.

Lin Daguan looked up at the venue again, and asked loudly, "Which one is Zhu Guozhen from the north of Vietnam?" ”

After seeing someone responding, Lin Daguan walked up again and greeted him warmly:

"Ahh It turns out that Your Excellency is Brother Zhu! Looking up for a long time, I can only know Jing today!

You are in Huzhou and I am in Suzhou, separated by Taihu Lake. ”

Today, the six people on the left and right of Lin Daguan also followed, nodded together, and signaled to Zhu Guozhen.

Zhu Guozhen is not from a big family, and he was a little flattered to be warmly socialized by a celebrity like Lin Daguanren.

As the only superstar in the Yichou family in the seventeenth year of Wanli, Lin Daguan's every move has attracted people's attention.

But everyone studied silently in their hearts for a long time, and they didn't see what kind of communication model Lin Daguan was.

I couldn't see any pattern at all, just like following the roll call, even Lin Daguan's friends were inexplicable.

In fact, the standard is only in the hearts of Lin Daguan, Wu Daonan, Zhu Guozhen, although these people are not so famous in later generations, but they have been mixed up with the elder and the first assistant.

After talking with Zhu Guozhen for a while, Lin Daguan did not forget his original intention and said:

"Those of us who are not in the party should stay away from the Gu family class, who like to form gangs and factions, and the party is the same as the other. By the way, do you know who the Gu family class has? ”

Zhu Guozhen looked at Lin Tailai and left and right six people, you Lin Tailai is a group but not a party, and others are gangs and factions?

Do you know that the seven people in your Lin circle of friends are the second largest group on the list? Compared with the first group of "One List of Nine Jinshi", it is not much worse?

Someone next to him couldn't look at it, and said: "If someone else is the Gu family class, then aren't you the Lin family class?" ”

Everyone was amazed, who was so bold?

Before Lin Daguan was furious, Dong Qichang quickly whispered to Lin Daguan: "This is Wang Shiqi, the eldest son of the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance. ”

Lin Tailai turned his anger into joy and said: "It turned out to be my nephew in person, last time I discussed with Ling Zun in Yangzhou Pingshan Hall, two years have passed, and I miss it very much!" ”

Wang Shiqi gritted his teeth and said: "I heard that Jingzhong called Your Excellency the Master of Jinxue, and in recent years, I have occasionally made small gains, I have studied some new editions, and I will have a discussion with Your Excellency another day." ”

Lin Daguan gave a "haha" and said: "Brother Nian is serious!" ”

Everyone felt inexplicable again, and they didn't understand why Lin Daguan was so silky from a nephew to a younger brother.

And Lin Daguan, who likes to bully people with the research results of "Golden Vase Plum" the most, is the first time to coax in Jinxue.
