Prime Minister

Chapter 289 Poems on the Palace

After the results of the palace examination are released, the one who moves first is the announcer.Those who announce the good news are all Baisi Yamen, also known as Xi Chonger.

After the roll call in the palace examination, they will first smell how many Jinshi are among the Jinshi, the mansion is in Bianjing City, and where they live.

Therefore, after the roll call was over, Xichong'er had already got the news from the eunuchs outside the Chongzheng Hall, and rushed to the new Jinshi's mansion to ask for money before Donghua Gate released the list.

……

The ten scholars under the corridor of the Chongzheng Hall changed into green robes, and they looked completely new. Except for Wang Kui, all faces were beaming.

"I've seen the number one scholar!"

After Zhang Yue and Ren Guan paid their respects, he turned his head and saw a lot of maids crowding in the corridor pointing here, and could faintly hear them say: "Look! This is the number one scholar."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue turned around and continued to meet his peers.However, consciously or unconsciously, Wang Kui was a little lonely.

Everyone had heard about the controversy between Wang Kui and Zhang Yue before, no matter whether Zhang Yue arranged to smear Wang Kui's private affairs or not, but now that the number one scholar has been awarded to Zhang's family, all the dust has settled, so there is nothing to worry about.

Among the top ten scholars, Huang Lu and Han Zhongyan not only had good friends with Zhang Yue, but also were classmates of Taixue. Chen Mu also expressed his attitude when they met.

As for the other same years, Zi also gradually gathered towards Zhang Yue.

Seeing this scene, No.3 Wang Zhichen couldn't help but walk to the side of the circle and start talking with Huang Lu.

As the sixth man, Wang Kui was a little lonely. He thought that the No. 6 pick was already in his pocket. Although it is not bad to get No.[-] now, the gap in his heart is too great.

Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty had a seat master, and they had two relationships in the same year. The Song Dynasty was very taboo about the word seat master. After all, they were disciples of the emperor, but they did not avoid the same year.

Therefore, the same year is a very close relationship. For example, since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a regular program of "worshiping the yellow armor" after Jinshi and the second degree.

Huang Jia means that Jinshi from the first to the fifth ranks are written on a yellow list and called Huang Jia. Worshiping Huang Jia means that everyone agrees to be brothers.

The same year is a circle, and the same year gatherings will be held from time to time in the officialdom.

We all know that in a circle, we need to support each other. If there is any grievance or relationship with the same year, it will be embarrassing for everyone to look up and look down in the future.

Zhang Yue is the number one scholar, although he is young, but now he is the leader in the same year.

Everyone talked for a while.

At this time, an instructor came out and said: "All the top five Jinshi scholars have finished their roll call, please come to the hall to thank God."

Everyone listened solemnly, Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Let's go!"

Everyone agrees, Zhang Yue wonders why everyone agrees, but their feet don't move.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and immediately took a step forward, followed by Zhong Tongnian.

Immediately Zhang Yue, Chen Mu and Wang Zhichen took the lead, and the other seven returned to the Chongzheng Palace afterward. The eunuchs and maids who had just changed clothes and gave him food all hid beside the road and sent them off respectfully.

The eunuch lifted the bead curtain, and Zhang Yue returned to Chongzheng Hall.

After going back and forth just now, Zhang Yue returned to Chongzheng Hall, feeling as if he had been separated from the world.

The emperor is still sitting on the throne, and now the awe-inspiring atmosphere in the hall is a little less.

Now that the roll call is over, the rest of the Jinshi are all thanking the emperor outside the hall, but the ten people from Zhang Yue entered the hall, as if they were thanking the emperor on behalf of all the Jinshi.

After thanking you, the palace examination process is over.

Zhao Zhen had a smile on his face, and he said to the left and right ministers like gossip: "Although the number one scholar is young, fortunately he is tall, and this robe still fits him well."

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very true. Although the number one scholar is young, he already looks like an official in this green robe."

Zeng Gongliang asked: "Zhuangyuan Lang, I remember reading the three biographies of your speech. This article is rich in literature and emotion. You Yuwen said that you were born as a poor scholar, and you worked as a servant, but it was difficult to melt the ice. Driving hundreds of miles away, the housemates are all well-clothed and well-fed, but you wear poor clothes, is it true?"

Zhang Yue didn't know Zeng Gongliang, and he was reminded by the teaching officer: "I will report to the Privy Councilor, these are all true. But now I am relieved, without the things of the past, I would not be who I am today. As Meng Dongye said, It’s not enough to boast about the filth of the past. I always believe in Han Changli’s words, there are roads and hard work in the mountains of books, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work.”

Zeng Gongliang praised: "No wonder, no wonder."

All the ministers remembered that the words were passed down three times, and many people were moved by the words in them.

Prime Minister Han Qi also said: "Yesterday I was a man in white clothes, but now I am a man in green clothes. The number one scholar must have felt a lot along the way."

Song Qi came out of the class and said: "This old man remembered the late emperor's exhortation poems. When I started reading, I also read the late emperor's poems. If a man wants to live his life, he reads the Five Classics diligently in front of the window. Only then does he have the ambition to rise up. I don't know the number one scholar. Can there be poems and this scene today to encourage other poor people?"

At the Wenxi banquet, there will be a section where the emperor bestows poems, and the scholars will enter the thank-you poems, but it is not in this hall.

But it is fine to write poems in the Golden Palace. This is an opportunity to become famous in the palace.

A few prime ministers, what you say and what I say is not just to make a name for yourself.

Isn't the reason why the emperor chose himself as the number one scholar who came from a poor family to encourage the poor scholars in the world to learn?

The more Zhang thought about this, he couldn't help hesitating. Along the way, it was easy to see which of the poor scholars and the children of officials took the imperial examination.

In addition to talent, he has to admit that there is an element of luck in winning the No. [-] Scholar. In fact, Zhang Yue hopes that there is no need for more poor students who are not talented enough to go their own way.

Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and others hesitated when they saw Zhang, thinking that he couldn't do it.They have all read Zhang Yue's palace examination papers, and know that his poetry is only average, Song Qi's move is a bit difficult for others.

Han Qi said with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Lang has already written a three-character poem to encourage learning, and it will not be too late to write it after hearing the wedding banquet..."

Zhang Yue was about to confess, but when he raised his head, he saw the emperor looking at him.

The emperor smiled and nodded to himself, indicating that it was okay, and then he was about to get up and leave the table.

Zhang Yue hesitated slightly, and then realized that he was thinking too much. Even if he didn't offer his own poems, as long as the imperial examination system exists, wouldn't there be fewer people who are keen on fame?

Zhang Yue said: "I will get a poem next."

Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were pleasantly surprised: "How is it?"

Zhang Yuedao: "The son of heaven values ​​heroes, and articles teach you. Everything is inferior, but reading is high..."

……

"A young man must study hard, and his articles can stand up. The court is full of nobles and nobles, and they are full of scholars. Learning is diligent, and there are thousands of books in the window. It is enough for three winters, and who laughs is empty."

……

"I have learned a lot since I was a child, and I have high ambitions in my life. Others have swords, but I have a pen like a knife. I am a farmer in the morning, and I am in the Tianzitang in the evening. There is no kind of general, and a man should be self-improvement."

……

"Study is the treasure of the body, and Confucianism is the treasure on the table. You see it as a prime minister, and you must use scholars. Don't make mistakes in Taoism and Confucianism, and poetry and books are worthy of others.

If you are rich, you will be good to the world, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself. "

……

"The Jade Palace passed down the gold list, and the emperor bestowed the title. Three hundred generations of heroes, follow me to Yingzhou."
