There is no conspiracy in the world, but Lin Daguan shouted a lot, and there was a conspiracy.

Given by the officials of Bailin, when all the Zhejiang bigwigs did not know about it, their conspiracy to support Tao Wangling was known to the officials of the whole capital in advance.

After Lu Shangshu openly retreated, even if someone did move his mind, it would be difficult to gather his heart again.

The people who eat melons in the capital were first shocked to hear that Lin Tailai, the champion of martial arts, won the first place in the palace test again, and then they were shocked to hear that the third place in the palace test wanted to be the champion.

There were too many shocks, so I was a little tired and couldn't chase after it.

Two days later, all the Jinshi went to the Chengbei Guozijian to do three things.

The first thing is to receive the red court clothes used for the ceremony; The second thing is to learn the etiquette of the great ceremony; The third thing is to worship the saint Confucius.

On the way to Guozijian, Dong Qichang asked Lin Tailai: "There have been many rumors in the past two days, what if it becomes true?" ”

Lin Daguan boasted to himself: "I still have the highest political fighting move at the bottom of the box that has not yet been used!"

As long as I use this trick, I can suppress all the evil ways of the outside world, even if I am about to make the fake come true, I can reverse it! Turn! Dry! Female! ”

Friends were very curious about what the highest-end move at the bottom of the pressure box was, but Lin Daguan said that it would not work if he said it.

When they arrived at Guozijian, the largest gathering place of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the new scholars gathered in line.

According to the rules, the top three in the palace examination stood alone in the front row, so Lin Daguan finally had the opportunity to look at Tao Wangling up close.

"It is rumored that someone in the imperial court wants to replace the champion with you?" Lin Daguan asked with a smile.

Tao Wangling replied helplessly: "I have no such intention in the next place, it is already a fluke to have a third place." ”

Lin Daguan nodded and said, "For Shen Xiang's sake, I believe in you." ”

Then he said: "However, Zhao Kuangyin in Chenqiaoyi also said that he doesn't want to be the emperor, but the soldiers must be in yellow robes." ”

Tao Wangling: "."

The person in charge of today's affairs is Yu Kongkan, the chief of the Ministry of Rites, which is the core branch of the Ministry of Rites, managing the affairs of court ceremonies, schools, examinations, and so on.

At the time of the examination, Yu Langzhong was Shen Shangshu's assistant and was responsible for the promotion of examination affairs.

Looking at Lin Tailai who was standing in the first place today, Yu Langzhong's eyes were undisguised with disgust.

Under the backdrop of Lin Tailai, who is still alive and jumping up and down, and getting better and better, Yu Langzhong feels that he is like a clown who jumped up and down before.

Every time he saw Lin Tailai, he was forced to recall his "stupidity", not to mention how crooked he was.

But at this point, Yu Langzhong has nothing to do for the time being.

When Yu Langzhong was wandering, he suddenly heard Lin Tai say, "I want to change the set." ”

"What did you say?" Yu Langzhong came back to his senses and subconsciously asked.

At this moment, the dress for tomorrow's ceremony is being distributed, and Lin Daguan is the first to receive it.

But he pointed to the big red court clothes that were about to be issued to him, and said unceremoniously: "I said a different set!" ”

Although he didn't understand why he wanted to change, Yu Langzhong directly refused: "Don't change!" ”

Lin Tailai pointed at Yu Langzhong and said loudly: "I can't believe you!" I'm worried that you, a villain, will do something to this court uniform! ”

Nima! Yu Langzhong was suddenly furious, and his anger was directly full! Just open your mouth, don't talk about the basic logic at all, right?

Lin Daguan directly grabbed Yu Langzhong's collar, lifted him up forcefully, and asked, "You dare to scold?" The officials of the Ministry of Rites were so rude. ”

The other officials next to him hurriedly persuaded each other, "Lin Zhuangyuan! It's not that I don't want to change, but I don't have anything to change! If it suits your height and body type, it's just such a set, and several other general versions don't fit! ”

Lin Tailai threw down Yu Langzhong and said to the others: "In the same year, they will testify for me, if there is a problem with the court uniform and I am ugly, it must be Yu Langzhong's responsibility!" ”

Later, Yu Langzhong sadly found that among the more than 300 new science and technology scholars, except for those who took care of the family class, they all showed a certain degree of indifference and alienation from him.

I didn't expect the rookies to learn the first lesson so quickly, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, only standing in line.

That night, a low-key middle-aged scribe entered the Lin Mansion, claiming to be sent by Zhang Whale, the governor of Dongchang.

"The factory father heard that Lin Zhuangyuan is very rich." The middle-aged scribe said straight to the point, "As long as it is a thousand taels, it will not harm your business." ”

Lin Daguan was very surprised, this is to find Lao Tzu to collect protection money? I have never had this experience in my life.

Regarding the reputation of Zhang Whale in Dongchang, Lin Daguan naturally knows it, and he is very famous for his greed and wealth. Although he was impeached repeatedly, he was spared punishment each time by offering gold and silver treasures to the emperor.

Collecting protection money and receiving it on his head is very consistent with the logic of Zhang Whale's behavior, but Lin Daguan absolutely does not accept it.

The middle-aged scribe persuaded: "The emperor list is about to be released, and Lin Zhuangyuan doesn't want to be badly done at the last moment, right?"

One thousand taels is not much, this is the preferential price given to you by the factory, is it not good to buy a peace of mind? ”

Lin Daguan shouted directly: "Get out!" ”

I haven't heard of a traveler who has to pay a protection fee for the champion, and how can he maintain the image of the museum when he returns to Suzhou?

Besides, the eunuchs in the Wanli period had nothing to worry about, and there were no eunuchs of the level of Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian.

Emperor Wanli guarded against ministers because of Zhang Juzheng, why didn't he guard against eunuchs because of Feng Bao? Zhang Whale didn't have any skills, and he only started because he followed his godfather to fight against Feng Bao.

Another day later, the last and most solemn ceremony of this year's big competition was held.

The Golden Palace Ceremony is the first level of the imperial court's ceremony, and ascending to the pole, the wedding, the New Year's Day, and the longevity of the same level, very grand.

More than 300 new members of the academy lined up at His Majesty the Emperor's Palace, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

At this time, the emperor temporarily resided in the middle pole hall behind the imperial pole hall. This time, Emperor Wanli was diligent once and showed up to participate in the ceremony.

According to the procedure, all the palace examination paper readers will bring the gold list and meet the emperor here first.

At this time, the top three on the gold list were still empty, and the top three test papers were opened at this scene, and the specific ranking of Sanding A was learned, and the final suspense was revealed.

Then fill in the information of Sanding A into the gold list, and everything has settled since then.

If the emperor has any ideas, he may also adjust the specific ranking of the three tripods before filling in the list, such as exchanging the first place and the third place, and the source of many rumors about changing champions is in this link.

This can also explain why in the story of changing champions, most of them are changed from the first place, the second place, and the third place, because only these three people can choose the champion, and everyone else has already filled in the list, and it is difficult to change it.

Of course, this year is special, the top three test papers have long been dismantled, and the rankings have long been spread.

However, in order to respect the procedure, the top three positions on the gold list are still blank, and they have been left to fill in until now, which is a symbol of the Son of Heaven.

Shen Shoufu came forward to fill in the list, and Emperor Wanli asked the ministers more: "What else do you say?" ”

As the so-called heavenly power is unpredictable, no one knows why the emperor is so talkative. Normally, ministers don't care about this matter, but they don't hear it.

But the eunuch and admiral Zhang Jing of Dongchang, who was next to him, was a second-class person, and he loved to perform, so he said: "I heard that the first place Lin Tailai's reputation is not very good. ”

The ministers all glanced at Zhang Whale, what is your business here? Is it because Lin Tailai repeatedly beat the Jinyi Guard Academy?

Emperor Wanli snorted coldly: "Zhang Whale, before the palace test, you also concluded that Lin Tailai would not know the eight strands!" ”

Zhang Whale: "......"

Worst! Could it be that because of this incident, the trust of the Son of Heaven has been lost in terms of intelligence business capabilities?

In fact, the ministers all felt that Zhang Whale could not be blamed for this, but no one helped Zhang Whale speak.

Zhang Whale knelt down first and shouted, "Emperor Mingjian! The minister is just telling the truth today!

According to statistics, in the past half a month, sixty percent of the group beating cases in Xicheng were related to Lin Tailai!

Such a character who ravages the streets and alleys, how can he be the best in the world? ”

Emperor Wanli asked again: "What are you doing with setting up your factory guards?" Why don't you care about the official school? ”

Zhang Whale said: "The official school also went to the scene to manage things, but was ignored by Lin Tailai and beaten away!" Besides, if there is no edict, it is inconvenient to take people directly! ”

Emperor Wanli threw down Zhang Whale and asked the minister, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

The minister is still pretending to be deaf and dumb, even Lin Tailai's enemies don't speak, who knows if the emperor is fishing?

It seems simple to jump out and fall into the well, but if the emperor identifies it as colluding with Zhang Whale, it will be a big loss.

Zhang Whale slandered again: "The factory guard official school is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, Lin Tailai despises the factory guard official school so much, he is contempt for Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Situ, the king of the household department, suddenly stood up and said categorically: "Among these three people, the champion can only be Lin Tailai, and the other two are not suitable!" ”

Shen Shoufu glanced at Wang Situ thoughtfully.

I heard that Lin Tailai still has the highest-end move at the bottom of the box and is not used, which is enough to reverse all disadvantages in front of the emperor and sweep away all evil demons, do you want to see it now?

In anticipation, I heard Wang Situ continue: "The second place Wu Daonan, the first two words of his name sound the same as Wudao, there is no none!"

Anyone with a little common sense knows that Wudao has such a name, how can it be Wen Kui? ”

Shen Shoufu: "??? ”

This is what Lin Tailai boasted, the most high-end political fighting move? Isn't this foolishness and superstition?

Wang Situ was still saying: "As for Tao Wangling, the word Wangling's name is also very scary when I think about it!"

Age means the number of years, so what is the meaning of looking at age? How old can you see at a glance? Or are you looking forward to the coming of the day?

Your Majesty has been going on for thousands of years, how can you call this kind of name Wen Kui? ”

Shen Shoufu: "......"

High-end, it's so high-end, it's a one-hit kill!

In the end, Wang Situ made a final decision: "Among the three, only the name of Lin Tailai means auspicious and beautiful, which means that good luck is coming, and it is in line with the auspiciousness of Jiuyuan, so the champion must be Lin Tailai!" ”

Emperor Wanli couldn't help laughing, and ordered: "Mr. Shen, let's fill in the list according to the established ranking!" ”
