章節 140: Chapter 0140: Locking the Courtyard
Imperial Capital Linhu Gongdian West Courtyard
In the courtyard, a late bloomed plum tree with a tempting fragrance. Jiang Zinan picked a branch, which split into two branches like coiled dragons, and had rouge flowers. The cold fragrance wafted through the air, making one feel refreshed.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice and was pleasantly surprised: "Young master, you're out... Huh
Ye Qingcai came out of the quiet room and listened to the word 'huh' with a smile, saying, 'What, since we haven't seen each other for a day, I don't know your young master anymore?'
I don't know, just take a look, young master! "He said, then took out the mirror.
Ye Qing took a look and was also taken aback. He saw that his face had not changed, with a black and green aura hidden in the seal hall, flowing like smoke and mist. Before, ordinary people could not see this aura, but could feel its color, which added a touch of dignity to Ye Qing.
This face is very similar to Yu Fan's, but it is a shade of blue from the Five Virtues, with fewer colors. Ye Qing is very satisfied.
What I expected was not wrong. The way of the Five Virtues is actually the way of order. Pacifying the unruly people is still a small matter, but the key is the 'way' established in this process
Although a sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs. In my dream, I established a system, raised troops to suppress it, pacified the people, and cultivated farmland, which condensed the vitality of this country
With this, we can meet some of the favorable weather conditions in Heide. Although the luck has not increased, it has been refined a lot
Young master, what are you thinking again? "Jiang Zinan's light and angry voice woke Ye Qing up from her own complacency, and she immediately felt both hatred and itching. She thought to herself that this little girl was becoming more and more attractive:" I'm thinking about how to master magic at night
Family law? "Zhou Ling asked honestly," Is there any
Well, only for disobedient women, "Ye Qing said seriously.
Jiang Zinan gave him a disdainful look, gritted his teeth secretly, pretended not to notice, and said, "Young master, Young master Fu has invited you to come and watch the examiner enter the hospital
Oh, I'm going now! "Ye Qing was taken aback, remembered, and immediately said, getting up and rushing away.
The imperial capital is called the 'Snowless Capital', which is a bit exaggerated. This morning, the temperature dropped sharply, and in the evening, the sky was even darker. The cold wind swept away the fallen leaves in front of the imperial city. Even the evergreen trees lost their last leaves overnight, accompanied by thick lead clouds in the sky, indicating signs of snowfall in the city.
The evening bell rang from drum towers throughout the city, and the gates of the triple tower of the imperial city opened one after another. The two prefectures and seven bureaus were on duty, and a large number of officials came out in a continuous stream. Following that, the cool umbrellas of Zaifu were raised one by one on the imperial street, and they followed the carts through the long street.
Far from the corner of the street, in a restaurant and private room, Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan were discussing poetry and essays, both sighing that with 7000 successful candidates this year, it may not be easy for carp to jump over the dragon gate!
At this moment, hearing the sound of cars and horses, everyone pushed open the window to look, and saw one, two, three... Under these umbrella covers, there were all first and second grade officials.
In the sky's eyes, these green energies are as deep as a deep abyss, with a hint of purple, and the leading canopy is even more purple, probably Prime Minister Yan Shiqing.
There are only six, one more is missing, "Fu Chengshan pondered for a moment and said.
Ye Qing understood his meaning, but smiled slightly and said, "Or stay in front of the hall
After a long time, I finally saw the last one leave the yamen office. Passing by this building, I saw a middle-aged man in a second grade blue purple official uniform under the umbrella. His skin was slightly dark, his face was firm, and his eyebrows and eyes were thick and firm.
At this moment, I looked up and saw several lifts, so I nodded slightly.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qing and the others quickly returned their greetings. After the Huagai carriage passed by, Kong Zhi let out a sigh and said, "This is Tong Shan, the Grand Secretary of Tong. I met him a month ago while borrowing books from the Guanwen Pavilion, and I was fortunate enough to have a few words that were extraordinary in demeanor
Is it a bit dark? "Chu Yan chuckled and said," You have white face, but if you grew up by the sea, you would also be so dark
Kong Zhi chuckled, but turned serious and said, "It seems that the war in the north has attracted the attention of the officials
I'm afraid it's not enough. Speaking of which, it's time to lock up the imperial examination hall now... "Tang Zhongchen pondered, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing.
Ye Qing smiled without saying a word. On that day, he wrote the character "Tong" on the liquor. He only waited for the facts to evolve, and there was no need to take credit at this time.
What are you afraid of? Even if we appoint Master Tong as the chief examiner, we have written no less than ten articles this month specifically on the northern war and the situation of the world. "Chu Yan smiled happily, with a hint of ill intentions:" When the exact news comes out tomorrow when we lock up the courtyard, there will be many people who are more urgent than us
Several people were caressing their hands, thinking that the seven thousand raised hands were like ants in a hot pot, all of which were a great way to relieve depression, and burst into laughter.
The car drove out of the long street and arrived at Tongfu in the northeast of the city, where it was already night.
The driver in the front row of the mansion grew up in a long queue, filling the alley in front of the main entrance with officials who came to pay their respects and wait. It was clear that they had heard some rumors.
Tong Shan shook his head and put down the car curtain, saying, "Let someone collect the umbrella and enter through the back door
Yes, sir. "The carriage driver responded and drove to the back alley, entering the mansion. After bathing and changing clothes, the maid presented several sets of regular clothes. Tong Shan waved his hand and said," It's me
Behind the veil was a light laugh, and a woman turned around, holding a brocade, blue, and purple gown in her hand: "Is it a grand court gown
Tong Shan's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Madam is still considerate
Madame Tong waved away the maid and helped him put on his clothes with her own hands, saying, "Although the clothes are new, the people are old. They have been around for more than twenty years, can they still be considerate
Tong Shan caressed her delicate face, his palms smooth and warm, until he touched the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and then his expression darkened slightly: "We're all getting old
My husband is filled with a green and purple aura, and his heart has three feet of clear light. Eventually, he will achieve eternal life. "Mrs. Tong lowered her head and spoke softly," My old wife's time with me is running out, how dare she not cherish it
Tong Shan was taken aback as he caressed her long hair, feeling the warmth of past events flowing through his heart. He felt a sense of regret as he suddenly heard the voice of a male duck outside, "Please accept the order
Go! "Mrs. Tong straightened his crown and pushed him out with a smile. There was already a incense table set up in the courtyard, and she saw him bowing down and respectfully receiving the imperial edict.
After receiving the order in a moment, he entered the room and shook the five colored silk scroll in his hand. His expression was a bit strange: "Before I was an old candidate, I have now become a junior examiner for the new subject
This means that I only became a jinshi at the age of thirty, and now at forty-seven, according to the chief examiner of the imperial examination, I am very young and have not exceeded the nominal admission period for jinshi.
Mrs. Tong is knowledgeable and courteous, and she understands herself. Unable to see her husband's self praise, she gave a disdainful glance and said, "Are you very proud of yourself
Tong Shan chuckled and didn't say much.
After a night of silence, the next night at midnight, Tong Shan stopped being on duty and went straight to the Gongyuan.
As soon as they left, there was a group of Jia Shi waiting, standing straight and silently following behind.
The Gongyuan is located in the southern corner of the imperial city, next to the Ministry of Rites. It is a place where Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist rituals are practiced, and its regulations are even more magnificent than those of the Six Ministries.
Tong Shan arrived at the Gongyuan and saw a sky full of cold stars. Just after the fourth watch, he walked towards Longmen, only to see lamps hanging in every hall inside. Without saying a word, he looked around.
Inside, there were three chief and deputy examiners, as well as two hundred inspectors and patrol officers standing in the hall. Behind them, the gate was locked with a loud bang.
But when seven thousand scholars rushed into the capital, each with a few to a dozen people, totaling four to five thousand, how many eyes were staring at the imperial examination hall?
The news of the lock up immediately spread, and the chief examiner was Tong Shan, who caused countless eyeballs to fall apart. Within just three days of the exam, Tong Dasheng's past policies, writings, and even the imperial examination papers from that year were all dug up, copied, printed, and sold, making paper expensive in the capital city for a while.
At this moment, Tong Shan ignored these things. After entering, everyone "slapped" and knelt down, saying in unison, "Greetings, sir
Tong Shan smiled and waved his hand, "Let's all get up
With a sweep of his gaze, he couldn't help but secretly feel relieved: "The situation in Northern Wei is tense this time, and Your Majesty has the power to make decisions. Otherwise, in previous years, the balance between the main and deputy officials would have been a real torture
Everyone stood up, and Tong Shan arrived at the temple, but there were three rows of plaques on top.
At the top are three Taoist monarchs, at the center are five imperial monarchs, and at the bottom are Taizu and the current emperor, all bowing and offering incense together.
After finishing, Tong Shan entered the back hall of the Gongyuan, where a young Taoist was waiting in the center, facing a censor who said, "Poor Taoist Yunji, I have met a fellow Taoist
Tong Shan didn't have time to look too much, so he bowed and saluted, "Tong Shan saw your colleague in the hallway
After finishing speaking, he lifted his head and met the Taoist with a pair of green eyes. For a moment, he felt a heavy spiritual pressure. Although it passed away in a blink of an eye, he was amazed and said, "I don't know which senior scholar in this dynasty has achieved success in cultivation
I have been ordered by the Heavenly Court to pass on the questions for this imperial examination. "However, Yun Jizi ignored these and calmly took out a crystal clear jade dish from his sleeve, showing it to everyone. Seeing that everyone confirmed it, he withdrew his sleeve and said," Please follow the protocol and show the questions that the Emperor has given us, and then we can discuss them together
This is the rightful meaning. The first two ranks of "jinshi" are scholars who pay tribute to the Heavenly Court, while the three ranks of jinshi are left to the court for selection.
Tong Shan responded and washed his hands in the golden basin. He then bowed deeply to the imperial seal test paper offered in a golden plate before taking it with his own hands. At this moment, it was not yet time to open it, but just to merge it with the jade plate.
The imperial edict of the jade disc matched, and suddenly a faint green light and golden light intersected, floating in the air and transforming into a "decree". Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This proves that all programs have been functioning normally so far, without any loopholes or other issues.
Open the inspection of the main hall! "Tong Shan ordered, and suddenly shouted loudly. The door with dragon, red lacquer, and copper nails opened, and everyone entered the hall.
The main hall is thick and majestic, with a floor polished to reflect the light. The hall is deep, with candlesticks in the corridors, rows of tables and chairs standing tall, each only three feet long, and pen holders and ink stones on top.
In the Earth world, there are still imperial examinations and palace examinations, but this world does not have them. The reason is simple: the palace examination is directly supervised by a real person sent by the Heavenly Court. How can we waste time on a second round? We can only complete it once!
Moreover, the palace examination only consists of two questions, and the exam time is very short, only half a day from early morning to noon. You can use the restroom before and after the exam, so you are generally not allowed to use the restroom in between.
There is a banquet given by the emperor at noon, so there is no need to bring food into the palace.
Tong Shan glanced around and asked, "With seven thousand juzi this time, is this hall enough
Not enough, but the left and right side halls have also been opened, so we can enter all of them! "An examiner answered in response.
Tong Shan asked no more questions and turned to the real person, saying, "Please go to Yuyin Town for transportation
