(Due to the needs of the plot, the time of some historical events has been fine-tuned for a few years, and asking is the butterfly effect)

Anyway, Lin Xiushu felt that his face was swollen, and just now he pretended to say that no one could stop him from lecturing.

As a result, he was taught by the emperor to be a man in a blink of an eye, could it be that this is the cruelty of the imperial society?

Bachelor Chen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who had been reprimanding Lin Tailai just now, stood up again at this time.

He stopped in front of the Jinyi Guard Academy, and asked loudly: "Let's explain first, what is the matter?" Even in front of the Son of Heaven, let me tell! ”

The brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu said with a smile: "So that the bachelor will know that the emperor has appointed Lin Jiuyuan as the examiner of this year's martial arts examination, and he must enter the tribute academy and lock it." ”

Everyone: "."

Dare to love Jinyiwei to arrest Lin Jiuyuan, in order to bring him to the Tribute Academy as an examiner and isolate him, not to put him in the small black room of the Imperial Prison?

Somehow, it's a bit of a pity.

Generally, the martial arts examination time is the next month after the end of the liberal arts, for example, the liberal arts gold list was released in March, so now it is indeed the time for the martial arts examination in April.

The martial arts examination is divided into a literary field and a martial arts field, and its Chinese field examiner is temporarily selected to serve as the examiner.

After all, Lin Hanlin was the first place in the last martial arts examination, and it was also very reasonable for the emperor to think of Lin Hanlin as the examiner of this martial arts examination.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the martial arts test has not been taken very seriously, and all kinds of irregularities.

When everyone came back to their senses, suddenly a huge figure flashed out, and holding down the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu is punching and kicking!

When Lin Hanlin became angry, no one could stop him, and he scolded while beating: "If you pass the decree, you will pass the decree well, and dare to bluff the family!" Are you trying to scare your dad to death? ”

Bachelor Chen shouted helplessly: "Lin Jiuyuan! If you kill the angel of the herald, you should punish the three tribes! ”

Lin Xiushu just then put away his fists and kicks, he was sure that Jinyi Wei Qianhu deliberately shouted so scary just now, it must be revenge.

After all, the Jinyi Guard Official Academy that I have fought is not a hundred but eighty.

Half an hour later, the brocade guard official academy with a blue nose and swollen face brought Lin Tailai into the tribute courtyard, locked him in the inner courtyard, and isolated from the outside world.

That's right, this tribute courtyard is the one that Lin Tailai came to in February.

It's just that last time I came to take the exam, and this time I entered the inner courtyard as an examiner.

Fortunately, the martial arts examination will not be like the liberal arts examination, tossing back and forth for a month, about a few days is enough.

First, the number of candidates participating in the martial arts examination is small, generally the rated number is about 500, while the number of candidates for the cultural examination is thousands.

The second reason is that in the martial arts examination and literature field, there is only one strategy and one theory, unlike the liberal arts, which has to write a dozen articles in total.

Moreover, the martial artists who came to take the exam were afraid that they would not be able to write long articles, and the content format would not be too complicated.

Therefore, the workload of judging papers is much smaller, according to Examiner Lin's personal estimates, that is, one percent of the liberal arts examination.

And you don't have to be particularly careful, a few examiners are diligent and fast, and they can be judged in two days, and dozens of first-class and second-class things will be done!

After a few days, it is easy to mix up some subsidies and increase the qualifications of examiners, which is also a more beautiful job.

Fortunately, there were other examiners, Lin Tai came to look at others, and said undoubtedly: "You will eat the wine and food that will be sent in the future." ”

Other examiners: "? ”

It is rumored that Lin Jiuyuan's eyes are above the top, in fact, so humble?

Then Lin Tailai added: "I'm afraid that someone will poison me." ”

Other examiners: "."

Is there still such a risk when you come in and judge the papers?

On the day of the Wenchang examination, Wang Yiju, the main organizer of this year's martial arts examination and the secretary of the military department, sat at the dragon gate of the Gongyuan and began to roll call and search the candidates.

However, Wang Dasima clicked and searched dozens of people, and suddenly found that the rest of the candidates were curiously looking behind him.

Wang Dasima turned his head, but he saw that at some point, a huge figure appeared behind him silently like a ghost.

it! Wang Da Sima was startled, stood up and shouted, "Lin Hanlin! Why are you here? ”

If he remembers correctly, Lin Tailai's identity is that of the examiner, and at this time he should be locked in the inner courtyard of the Gongyuan and completely isolated from the outside world to prevent fraud.

So theoretically, Lin Tailai shouldn't have been here at all!

Lin Hanlin said with a "hehe" smile: "The courtyard wall is too low, I found a table and chair to set up a foot, and turned it over."

And the official academy patrolling outside the wall didn't have a good look at me, and they didn't dare to spot me. ”

Wang Yiyu: "."

Although the imperial court does not attach importance to the martial arts examination at all, it always has to pay attention to the superficial form, can you Lin Tailai respect the examination system?

After this exam, it is time to ask the imperial court to raise the walls of the Gongyuan!

Lin Tailai took the opportunity to greet the candidates and said, "Who is from Xuanfu?" Stand up and take two steps! ”

There is a fixed number of martial arts examination quotas, and each province or border town can be assigned a certain number of places, especially the border towns have a higher priority, so there must be people in Xuanfu Town to participate in the examination.

After Lin Tailai shouted, he saw that no one was willing to stand up. He guessed in his heart that it might be that the other party didn't understand his purpose, so he had scruples.

So Lin Tailai shouted again: "After going out from here, Ben Hanlin is about to be ordered to patrol the Xuanfu!" But I am not familiar with the place, and I urgently need local old people to lead the way! ”

At this moment, four candidates jumped out and shouted, "Master Hanlin! Under the town of Xuanfu! ”

It's just pie in the sky, come to take a test and you can still get to the future Qincha, and if you don't make a sound, you'll be a fool!

Lin Tailai then ordered: "After you finish the exam today, each of you will order a household servant who is familiar with the terroir and roads to go to the Lin Mansion and wait for the call!"

When I go on a business trip after reading the papers, I will naturally bring them with me, so you can continue the martial arts test with peace of mind! ”

"Old teacher, but please rest assured!" One candidate even shouted out the title in advance.

Wang Yiyu, the secretary of the military department, couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly urged: "You're almost done!" Hurry back to the inner courtyard and don't come out again! ”

So Lin Tailai spent his days in the Gongyuan like this, but at this time, he didn't know that in the past few days, Xuanfu Town had already met in a storm, and the wheel of history was about to run over his face!

Hearing the news that Lin Tailai was locked in the tribute courtyard, Wang Zhiyuan, the head of the household, sighed and said to the good eldest Wang Xiangqian:

"It seems that I can't wait for your little sister-in-law to take the lead, and I can't wait any longer, so let's go to Xuanfu to take office first, and act carefully."

Although from a technical point of view, the safest path for Wang Xiangqian is still to take office after Qincha Lin Tailai, he really can't wait any longer.

According to the rules agreed between the Ming court and the old Shunyi king of the northern captives, Altan Khan, at the beginning of each year, the leaders of the northern captives should pay tribute outside the border wall.

After the Ming court accepts the tribute and verifies that there are no border offenders last year, the border market, also called the horse market, will be opened to the "law-abiding" tribes.

Once a year, if any tribe has committed a crime, then the border city will have no share of him!

Generally speaking, the horse market is open from April to October, and the tribes of the northern captives take turns to enter the market to trade.

After the peace of Longqing, the imperial court opened horse markets in the towns of Sanbian, Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu, and the location of the horse market in Xuanfu Town was in Zhangjiakou Fort, which was particularly lively and prosperous.

After all, Xuanfu Town is too close to Jingshi, Jingshi itself is a huge horse consumer market, and further south from Jingshi is the vast hinterland of the plain, so Zhangjiakou Fort Horse Market is more popular than other places.

This horse market is guarded by hundreds of troops led by relevant deputy generals or staff generals, and then the political staff of the North Kou Province is responsible for managing the horse market.

At present, it is Lin Jiuyuan's eldest nephew Wang Xiangqian, and it is already April.

Therefore, Wang Xiangqian can't wait any longer, if he even delays the horse market, he will become a sinner who sabotages the side affairs.

Wang Xiangqian has no shortage of courage and talent, and feels that even if he doesn't have Uncle Lin to open the way, it doesn't matter, he can make a difference.

Wang Xiangmeng, a senior imperial historian who was listening to the side, said with emotion: "The little sister-in-law is too jumpy, Shen Shangshu intends to resign from the official position, what does it matter to him, he has to say Shen Shangshu in a weird way, but he was sent to the tribute courtyard by the elders." ”

Wang Situ's eyes suddenly deepened, "I'm wondering, is Lin Jiuyuan playing a big game of chess?" ”

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

It's just that middle and low-level people are superstitious about playing big chess, why are you, the high-level of the imperial court, who is a big Situ, also superstitious about playing big chess?

Wang Situ continued to say his guess: "Did Lin Jiuyuan deliberately stimulate Shen Shangshu to leave, and when the thunder came down in the future, let the pavilion elders be directly hit by the thunder."

Maybe if any of the elders is knocked down, he will have a chance to make a profit. ”

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

Unable to complain, this is the only "author's assumption" strategy, right? Who would play like that in reality?

An officialdom rookie is a rookie who has no last resort to strategize, and by manipulating the elders of the pavilion to advance and retreat, it is still a third-rate person who will write like this!

Xuanfu Zhencheng is only 350 miles away from Jingshi, and after a few hundred years, it will take more than an hour to get on the highway.

Two days later, Wang Xiangqian, the right political officer of the North Dao of Shoukou, the civil affairs officer of the Xuanfu area, and the manager of the Zhangjiakou Baoma City, arrived at Xuanfu City.

But as soon as he entered the city, Wang Xiangqian heard a news that shook the inside and outside of the side wall!

After the official tribute ended this year, Xin Ai Huang Taiji, the contemporary king of Shunyi, who was nearly seventy years old, passed away!

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Pullik, is logically said to be able to inherit King Shunyi.

But Huang Taiji's "queen", the first female of the grassland in the world, the powerful faction that directly controls tens of thousands of people, the largest pro-Han faction in Beiyu, and the most well-known foreign beautiful young woman in the Ming Dynasty want to be a demon again!

She wants to support her own son Butashri to become the king of Shunyi!

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Tuo Lik, also wanted to inherit the king of Shunyi, so he had to marry the third lady according to the customs of the Beiyu, but the third lady was not happy!

It sounds like this relationship is a bit chaotic, and people who are not familiar with the situation in the north will only feel the clouds and mountains and fog, which needs to be explained from the beginning.

More than 20 years ago, when the third lady was only nine years old, she married the old Shunyi king and a generation of heroic overlords I Da.

With her intelligence and beauty, the third lady was deeply favored by the elderly me, and gradually developed into a powerful figure on the grassland, and the actual host of the northern side of the border city.

Butashri was the son of the Three Ladies and Alta.

The success of the peace negotiation in Longqing allowed me to complete my lifelong dream of opening a border city, fought a lifetime of fighting, and finally died a few years ago after being able to enjoy it for more than ten years.

At this time, the situation on both sides is that the most trusted person in the Ming court is the third lady, and whoever wants to be the king of Shunyi must marry the third lady first.

My eldest son, Huang Taiji, wanted to follow the custom of step-marriage in the grassland, first married the third lady, and then succeeded to the king of Shunyi.

At this moment, Huang Taiji is already sixty years old, and the third lady is still a young woman in her early thirties, and she doesn't want to marry a sixty-year-old bad old man at all.

So what the third lady thinks is to support her teenage son Butashri to take the position.

At that time, when the Beiyu was mired in internal strife, after the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, an outsider who controlled economic interests, the three ladies were finally willing to marry the sixty-year-old Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne of Shunyi and continued to maintain peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Although Wang Xiangqian is a newcomer to the right to participate in politics, he has done his homework carefully, and he has some knowledge of the information about the Beiyu, so he is naturally familiar with the above old things in the past.

And now this situation seems to be a repeat of the old thing.

Huang Taiji is gone, and his fifty-year-old eldest son, Pullik, wants to continue to marry the third lady according to the customs of the grassland, and then inherit the king of Shunyi.

And the third lady, who survived the two old men, became a young woman from a young woman, and she still didn't want to marry a bad old man for the third time, and served me Da, Huang Taiji, and Tu Like for three generations in a row.

Anyway, the eldest son Pullik and the surviving Three Niangzi have their own ideas, and the key is that Pullik's strength is not enough to suppress the Three Niangzi.

And both sides want to seek the support of the Ming court, after all, the Ming Dynasty has the absolute initiative in economic interests.

I heard that the third lady has entered the border wall and is ready to visit various officials in the border town to seek political support.

After Wang Xiangqian figured out what was going on, he hurriedly called a family member and instructed: "Take two horses and rush back to the capital, and report the news of the Beiyu to the little aunt as soon as possible!" ”

Wang Xiangqian's political sensitivity is still very strong, such a big thing happened in Beiyu, and it is equivalent to changing the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, especially the protagonist Sanniangzi also ran to Xuanfu.

Therefore, Lin Tailai, who is about to inspect Xuanfu Town, needs to know this information and then make a decision.

If Lin Tailai didn't want to wade into troubled waters, he would have to cancel the dispatch; If Lin Tailai wants to wade into troubled waters, he also needs to be prepared in advance.

The family sent by Wang Xiangqian first reported the news to Wang Situ, and then asked Wang Situ to continue the arrangement.

At this time, Lin Tailai was locked in the tribute courtyard, and Wang Situ was not good at blatantly delivering the news.

Judging by the time, the Wenchang judgment paper of the Wuhui test was almost over, and Wang Situ first sent people to guard the gate of the Gongyuan.

If it can't be finished in one day, find a way to deliver the news to the Gongyuan.

Fortunately, the next day, Examiner Lin was released from quarantine and came out of the Gongyuan, and immediately heard the news of Wang Xiangqian's return from the north.

it! Lin Tailai was taken aback, there is still this kind of credit waiting to be picked up by himself?

In history, the famous third lady has been married to a total of four generations from Alta to the grandson of Alta grandson (one generation died early in the middle), and this is just over halfway.

Isn't it just that there is infighting between the two sides of the North Captives this time, just mediate casually, and the credit will be in hand!

As we all know, he Lin Jiuyuan is the best at mediation!

The biggest question now is, do others still let me mediate?
