Hallym Courtyard.

Xie Qian was talking to Wang Wei, Zhang Yuanzhen and others about the revision of books, and Li Dongyang should have been in charge of this matter in the cabinet, but after Cheng Minzheng entered the cabinet, it stands to reason that the affairs of the Hanlin Academy should be completed by Cheng Minzheng, a senior academic.

Although there is no explicit rule, if the cabinet does not give Cheng Minzheng the errand, it will appear that the cabinet does not respect him enough, and it is also disrespectful to the emperor appointing Cheng Minzheng as a cabinet minister.

Li Dongyang excused himself not to come and asked Xie Qian to do it for him, which would seem to be just "forced by the situation", and did not mean to target Cheng Minzheng.

"Elder Xie Ge, are you still here? Today, Shuntianfu Township has a trial list, so you didn't go back to take a look? ”

Just when Xie Qian was still calm, he asked about the progress of the revision of the "Compendium of Tongjian of the Past Dynasties", and learned that although Zhang Zhou was not directly involved in this matter, he made the greatest contribution...... This made Xie Qian feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, Hanlin Xiu Liu Chun was at the door, smiling and saying to Xie Qian.

Zhang Yuanzhen was sitting near the door, and couldn't help glaring at Liu Chun when he heard the words, meaning that you have nothing to do and come here to join in the fun?

Xie Qian said: "Now you people from Hanyuan, are you so idle?" Even the Shuntianfu Township Test is so concerned? ”

This is obviously an opinion on Liu Chun.

Xie Qian is a cabinet minister in the end, which is equivalent to saying that he is the best in the Hanlin Yuan system, if he offends him or makes him unhappy, then whoever is in the Hanlin Academy may be at the end of his life.

Liu Chun didn't seem to care too much, and continued to smile: "I heard that it was Ling Lang who solved Yuan in high school. ”

"Huh?"

Rao is Xie Qian has also seen big scenes, and he himself is from a champion background, and he has experienced the ups and downs of the science field, but after hearing that his son Xie Yuan is in the middle, his mood is still not so calm.

First came to mind...... The son is in the middle of the solution.

What a doorman!

Is it strange that Zhuangyuan gave birth to a son who is Xie Yuan? My old Xie family is good.

But then I thought that this township test was conducted by Zhang Zhou, so the matter of my son Xie Yuan is debatable, could it be that Zhang Bingkuan's kid stared at me and deliberately let my son Xie Yuan, and then let me fall into the laughing stock?

Zhang Yuanzhen smiled and said: "That's worth congratulating, Xie Ge Lao should also go back to take a look, it seems that Yi Zhong will be the same as Xie Ge Lao in the future, they are all champions." ”

Shuntianfu Township tried to solve the yuan, the gold content is still very high, of course, no matter how high it is, it is not as high as the Tianfu solution.

The main reason is that Jiangnan is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, with many students, and the supervisors of Nanjing Guozijian over the years are more than those of Jingshi Shuntianfu.

There are also many people who donate corn to serve as prisoners.

Xie Qian was about to get up, and couldn't help but want to go home and ask, but suddenly thought of something, his buttocks just lifted slightly and fell back into the chair, and said coldly: "It's just a matter on the children's field, why should you be so concerned?" The court's business matters. ”

Having said that, he still couldn't hide his excitement in his heart.

His eldest son is not very promising, and now the second son is young and vigorous, and if he is a Xie Yuan, and if he is admitted to the Jinshi next year, the Xie family will have more Jinshi.

The old Xie family used to be a jinshi, and it was Xie Qian's younger brother Xie Di, who was on the same list as Zhang Zhou.

Wang Wei noticed that Xie Qian was a little repulsed by his son's middle school promotion, and probably understood that it was related to Zhang Zhou's main examination, and he said: "Xie Ge Lao may have foreseen it, and he has seen it before, and he is very good at learning. In the future, there will be one more pillar in the court, and there will be a successor to Xie Ge. ”

It seems to be a compliment, but in fact, I want to say that it is not Zhang Zhouxuan's talent, but the talent just happened to meet Zhang Zhou's hand.

Zhang Yuanzhen smiled and didn't say anything more, and Liu Chun at the door also hurriedly sent in a few booklets, so that a few people inside could continue to discuss academic matters.

……

……

The Kyoshi was very lively that day.

Xie Qian came out of the Hanlin Academy, and he couldn't help but go back to the house to have a look, but as soon as he left the Hanlin Academy and arrived at Dongjiang Mixiang, he saw a lot of students rushing to preach, who won the promotion, how many people ranked, congratulated each other, and there were also envious, everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic about this.

Xie Qian muttered in a low voice: "Is this a Jinshi or a candidate?" ”

According to Xie Qian's impression, even if the township trial list was very lively in the past, it would not be too lively, and there was still a big gap compared to the trial list.

Jinshi is everyone's concern, and those who come to take the Jinshi exam are all lifters, and the financial resources are obviously much stronger than those students, tribute students, etc., and there are many small guys with them, and there are many of them.

But a group of people who haven't been lifted yet......

"I heard that Xie Yuan on this list is the second son of Xie University's scholar's family, this matter is very strange."

Xie Qianben was still sitting in the sedan chair, and when he heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

It's broken!

I'm afraid of what's coming, I'm afraid that others will say that my son is Xie Yuan because of my relationship, and there are really a group of rabbit cubs here who dare to talk about it!

I heard it!

"Stop the car!"

Xie Qian couldn't help but come down and wanted to reason with that person.

Xie Qian is very confident in his eloquence, there is probably a posture that I can say that I can retreat from a million troops with one mouth, I want to let you little cubs know that I, Xie Lao'er, am not easy to mess with, even if I talk behind my back, I have to weigh it.

There are many sedan chairs in the capital, which are basically official sedan chairs, and only civil officials above the third grade can take the sedan chairs.

Someone saw the sedan chair stop, and from inside came an old pedant who was not wearing an official uniform but looked very majestic, although he didn't know him, but he was still very knowledgeable.

Xie Qian found that before he could make a move, the other side had already admitted defeat, and he was a little discouraged.

I want to call people back to have a good theory, but it would be too embarrassing to think of using my own identity to debate with a group of students who may not even have fame.

"You go first, I'm here...... Mmmm, just go back on your own, there are not many steps! ”

Xie Qian drove away the sedan chair driver or anything first.

Then he went to the nearest liquor store and other places on his own, and he wanted to hear what the people were saying about it.

"Old man......"

"Let's go!" Xie Qian's attitude was very resolute, "In the first good place of the capital master, are you still afraid that something will happen to the old man?" ”

"Yes."

……

……

Xie Qian went to a teahouse, and just a group of people gathered together, all of them were in their twenties, and they were also discussing this township test, so Xie Qian got together.

"Tea."

In order to avoid the suspicion of others, Xie Qian only thought that he was a tea drinker.

But in these years, there were no people who came to drink tea alone, and the teahouse was originally used as a place to rest and discuss things on the street...... But it's more of a social place.

You are a little old man, you don't bring your friends, what are you going to socialize with? Who do you think wants to be your friend?

So much so that even when Dr. Tea came to serve tea, he looked at Xie Qian with strange eyes.

Xie Qian doesn't care about the strange eyes of others, anyway, this kind of vision is usually received a lot in the court, so he is used to it.

I'm an elder, and I'm as knowledgeable as a bunch of you guys?

"It's really an honor to be an undergraduate."

Xie Qian had just picked up the tea bowl, and the tea foam had not yet been smoothed evenly, when he heard such a sentence.

Immediately, Xie Qian pricked up his ears.

"yes. It was a township test presided over by Cai Guogong. ”

"If you want to call Mr. Zhang, that's a genius of the world, this list has been released, right?"

"Isn't it? It's not a jinshi, there are hundreds of people who are in the jinshi at a time, but when they come to us, one hundred and ten people, I heard that next year's entrance exam, it is also likely to be Mr. Zhang's main exam, and if he doesn't win this time, he won't have the opportunity to be his disciple. ”

"Alas!"

Xie Qian understood a little bit here.

On the opposite side is the "League of Losers", and the feelings are a group of people who have not been lifted, sighing here, while envying others.

Xie Qian couldn't help but think.

Is Zhang Bingkuan's current reputation among the people really so high? Didn't Bin Zhi say before that he wanted to suppress this kid's reputation? Could it be that the dignified Li Ge failed to suppress Zhang Bingkuan's prestige?

"The last batch is released!"

Xie Qian was still pondering, and a friend of this group of people came in at the door and told the last news, "This list, it seems that there is no name on the list!" Some of them have already gone to Beiyong first, and I heard that there are many people waiting for apprenticeship. ”

Xie Qian couldn't help frowning.

Apprentice? What kind of teacher?

"Will Mr. Zhang come to Beiyong today?" Someone asked.

"No, I heard that it is Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who will go to Beiyong, he is the sacrificial wine of Beiyong before, and today is a rare opportunity, so I will go to explore the way first."

"That's very good, I heard that this Lin Lao sacrificial wine is about to be promoted to the secretary of the ministry!"

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it, I'll see you first. He has a deep relationship with Mr. Zhang. ”

A group of students immediately checked out and left.

Xie Qian was still a little embarrassed sitting there.

In addition to Zhang Zhou's reputation among the people, even Lin Han has such a high prestige? And also......

Who said that Lin Han wanted to be the secretary of the ministry?

How could I not have known about such a big thing?

This is called falsehood!

"This old gentleman, they're all gone, you see...... Is it to add tea to you, or is it ...... Would you like to go over and have a look? "Dr. Cha has a poor mouth, and when he sees the huge teahouse, only Xie Qian is left alone, and he can't help but come over to joke.

Xie Qian said: "The old man is not with them, they can't leave, what do they have to do with the old man?" ”

"I think you also took the township exam, right? I wonder if you're old? Dr. Tea laughed.

Perhaps in Dr. Cha's view, only those who have participated in this township examination care so much about the results of this township examination.

And like Xie Qian, it is not uncommon for them to learn from the old exam, and these old guys are all very face-saving, and they don't want people to know that they are actually test takers, so they will pretend.

But what Dr. Tea didn't know was that Xie Qian just came over to eavesdrop on what others said about his son, and pretending to be a grandson was actually pretending to be low-key.

"Dogs look down on people!"

Xie Qian looked very angry, and it was also because of the matter of his son Zhong Xie Yuan, which made him feel depressed in his heart, so that he was very tough on Dr. Cha, and then slapped a few pennies on the table.

"The old man has already been ranked in the court, and he just walked here to rest, what does the old man have to do with the things that a group of folk scholars are talking about?"

"Huh?"

Dr. Tea has never seen someone like Xie Qian who reported his home, although it sounds like bragging, but Xie Qian's momentum is still there.

Later, when Xie Qian walked outside the door, Dr. Tea didn't even dare to speak.

When Xie moved out of the door, the shopkeeper of the teahouse came over and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"He said he was the minister of the court, but I had never seen such an adult, and he ...... like him," Dr. Cha was also surprised.

People say that he is a minister of the DPRK and China, and he is still an official in Beijing, so the official must not be too small, and Dr. Tea also saw that Xie Qian had a faint sense of nobility.

The shopkeeper said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are all kinds of people, you can be the one who is in the middle of the court to come out for a walk, but what time is this?" Who doesn't work all night, how can there be so many idle officials coming out? Besides...... Which official have you ever seen come out and leave alone? ”

"That's right."

Dr. Tea smiled.

There is probably a feeling of being fooled.

"This kind of crazy people, you can see it everywhere, hurry up and pack your things, it's noon soon, there are more people coming, take advantage of the large number of people today, go out at noon to run more errands, ask those who come to take the exam, the candidates around Shuntianfu, if there is a banquet, just say that there is also a fish banquet here, let them come and taste it."

"Yes, yes!"

The teahouse in the capital, when there is no business, also needs the shop guys to go out to solicit customers.

It was the day of the township trial list, and many people who won the lift must be looking for a place to entertain guests.

There are not many high-end liquor shops in Beijing, and it is not easy to charter a restaurant when it is full at noon, but the tea house is different...... Anyway, it's a place of service, even if it's a banquet inside, that's okay...... Just give the money.

……

……

One family rejoices and one sorrows.

Xie Qian's son is in the middle of the Yuan, except for Xie Qian himself, the Xie family is still very happy about this.

Especially Xie Pi has been married, and the people who still have his wife will be Zhang Luo, and Xie Pi has been an official in Beijing for many years, and his family members have all come to Beijing a long time ago, so the Xie family is also very lively, after all, many people will take the opportunity to come to Zhang Luo, and by the way, see if there is a chance to meet the old man of the court.

This kind of people...... All rushed to come.

Even the officials of Shuntianfu and Daxing County were busy running to pay their respects.

And Li Dongyang's mansion is very deserted, although Li Dongyang's eldest son also participated in this township test, mainly because of ...... Li Zhao fell off the list first.

This will run to Li Dongyang's house, for fear that it will not be regarded as looking for trouble, so that the people who planned to visit Li Dongyang that day will go around the day.

"Brother, there are already rumors outside, saying that the second son of the Xie family has learned about Yuan."

Li Yu originally came to wait for the good news of his brother's promotion, and came to wait for the unblinding to be revealed.

But the results were not satisfactory.

Li Zhaoxian waved his hand and said, "Little sister, go talk to your sister-in-law more." I'm here...... OK. ”

Li Zhaoxian tried his best to maintain his emotions.

But thinking that he failed to be a student of Zhang Zhou, and Xie Pi, who was a child of the Ge family and was also a prisoner like him, was already Xie Yuan...... That feels......

Indescribable. (End of chapter)
