Number of romantic figures

Chapter 281 The B Scroll is in the Emperor's Heart

In Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yonglong sat on the throne, looking down at the front, "Shen Qing, Zhu Qing, have you finished reading the scroll?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Ding Weike's examination papers for the Chunwei Palace in the fifth year of Yonglong's reign have been graded, and the results of the preliminary agreement have also come out. Your Majesty, please judge." Shen Yiguan came out and bowed his hands in salute.

"Well, bring it up, I really want to see the demeanor of today's scholars." Emperor Yonglong smiled, his eyes resting on the faces of the examiners one by one, "I hope I won't be disappointed too much."

Shen Yiguan's heart tightened, he hadn't read the paper yet, could it be that he had already expected that the papers in this subject would not meet the holy will?
A servant had already presented the prepared twelve volumes, and Emperor Yonglong began to read ten lines at a glance.

All the examiners in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, all aware of the hidden meaning in the emperor's words, but they didn't know what it meant.

Emperor Yonglong first read the first three volumes, which were the first three volumes recommended by the cabinet. Generally speaking, the three tripod armors are these three volumes.

After the 32nd year of Yuanxi, there has been no change, including Chunwei in the second year of Shangke Yonglong.

However, before the 32nd year of Yuanxi, there were also precedents for the emperor to change the ranking and require more examination papers to select the three tripods.

All in all, everything is determined by the emperor, but overall the changes will not be too big. It is impossible that all the candidates for the three tripods proposed by the cabinet have not been selected, and the elders really have to kneel and beg .

Emperor Yonglong briefly read the three volumes, and it should be said that they are all top-notch masterpieces, and they are also quite innovative. After all, this is a top-notch talent selected by more than 4000 elite students of the Great Zhou. come forward.

Nodding his head slightly, Emperor Yonglong still felt that it was difficult to explain, and then continued to read the next nine volumes, which are the spare volumes, and there are some remarkable works in them, but generally speaking, they are not as good as the first three volumes.

It took half an hour to read each paper one by one. The number of words in each paper was not many, and they were all limited to less than a thousand words. Considering every word like that, reviewing every sentence, he pays more attention to whether there is something to say and hits the point.

After reading the twelve volumes, Emperor Yonglong was still unsatisfied, "Shen Qing, let me have a look at the next twelve volumes."

Shen Yiguan was taken aback for a moment, this kind of situation is rare, but he had already prepared for it, he slightly cupped his hands, and signaled the people next to him to deliver the prepared twelve volumes.

Emperor Yonglong read the twelve volumes much faster, almost the same, not as good as the previous twelve volumes, which made Emperor Yonglong a little disappointed.

These papers are all vague names, even the emperor can't open them for reading, so after a little hesitation, Emperor Yonglong said: "I'm still in good spirits today, so I'll read twelve more volumes and send them up."

Shen Yiguan's heart trembled, it was because the emperor was not satisfied with the marking of this subject.

After reading 36 volumes, I dare not say that it has never happened before, but in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that only Taizu Taihe, the most diligent Emperor Taihe, had a precedent for reading 72 volumes at the highest, but that was also the beginning of the founding of the country. in this way.

Since Emperor Taihe, there are only a handful of emperors who have read 24 volumes, and Emperor Yuanxi has never read more than [-] volumes.

Taking a deep breath, His Majesty still needs to read twelve volumes, and Shen Yiguan can only let him signal the people below to immediately take out the top twelve volumes and present them up.

This time the situation was slightly different. When reading the next few volumes, Emperor Yonglong obviously slowed down his reading speed. He read the two consecutive volumes repeatedly, and finally stroked the scrolls in meditation.

All the ministers of His Highness looked at each other in amazement, they didn't know what the emperor meant this time, but they didn't dare to disturb them, so they could only hold their breath quietly and wait for the emperor's decision.

"Well, Shen Qing, if I think this scroll is among the top three tripods, what do you think?" Emperor Yonglong raised a scroll in his hand and said with a slight smile: "I was listed as No. I feel that apart from the slightly inferior diction, his words can be eloquent and thought-provoking, and I don’t know why Zhuqing is so stingy to let him enter the top 30?"

Slightly cold gazes passed over the faces of a group of important officials, but Shen Yiguan was expressionless, and just replied calmly: "Return to Your Majesty, the ministers wait for the review, and they have to be reviewed one by one from the perspective of diction. An explanation to scholars all over the world, in order to select a volume that can convince millions of scholars all over the world."

Shen Yiguan has become extremely tough at this time, he wants to defend his dignity and rights as the chief assistant and the head of civil servants!
In the past two or three years, he has been used to keeping a low profile, but now that he knows that he has no way to retreat, he has made up his mind that once the spring of this department is over, he will resign from his post, and the current emperor also has this intention, so why should he be in love with him? go?
Thinking of this, Shen Yiguan became extraordinarily relaxed. His old eyes, which were originally a little cloudy, were now shining brightly, and he slightly cupped his hands, looking straight ahead.

Being toughened by Shen Yiguan was extremely uncomfortable. At this time, Emperor Yonglong did not expect that the chief assistant, who was always used to being aloof, seemed to be a different person all of a sudden. Taking a deep breath, he nodded: "Shen Qing's intentions are also reasonable, but it seems that my intentions are too impatient, anyway, I thought this volume could be ranked in the top twelve, um, first and third volumes, so I will stick to it." See you all!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Yonglong wrote on the three volumes with a vermilion pen in his hand, and then dropped the vermilion pen, "I'm exhausted, if there's nothing else to do, then step back!"

Before the astonished ministers could react, Emperor Yonglong stepped down from the throne and walked away, followed by a group of servants hurriedly trotting away.

Shen Yiguan's face remained calm, as before, "Respectfully, Your Majesty!"

When the emperor's figure disappeared, Shen Yiguan smiled lightly, "Forget it, the matter of the Spring Chamber is over, and you still have to work hard. You continue to spend the night in the Ministry of Rites today, and tomorrow you have to go to the Huagai Palace to write the list Pass on the seal of Lu, and everyone will be liberated."

Rao Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Zhang Jingqiu, Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and others were dissatisfied and slandered Shen all along. At this time, they had to be emotional and handed over a big gift to show respect and support. Only Xiao Daheng and Gu Bingqian He hesitated, but seeing that all the officials were like this, he could only bow his head and hand in hand.

If Shen Yiguan did not dare to stand up to the emperor's previous actions, then the prestige of the cabinet will be gone. I can not be the chief assistant, but the power and responsibility of the chief assistant and the cabinet cannot be infringed!This is the responsibility of the head of civil servants.

If you can't do it, you are not qualified to be the first assistant!

Shen Yiguan's actions today are actually equivalent to setting a standard demonstration to his colleagues, that is, those who may step into the position of chief assistant in the future. Scholars and civil servants, it's convenient!
*******
When Feng Ziying and his group were brought in to wait outside the Fengtian Hall again, they knew that the moment of fate had finally come.

Everyone held their breath in awe, but pricked up their ears, waiting for the deacon's roll call.

When the deacon placed the list in the imperial road of Danchi, all the Jinshi all knelt down.

A group of people held their breath and waited for the last moment.

"In the fifth year of Yonglong's reign, on March and the fifteenth day, a test was given to the tribute scholars from all over the world. The first class was awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class was awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class was awarded with Jinshi's background."

The deacon's voice was exceptionally loud, and the entire Danchi Yudao was also silent, only his voice echoed in the empty square.

"First Class No.1 Henan Yongcheng Gongshi practicing state affairs!"

Lian's state affairs were so emotional that his eyes were so moist that he couldn't see the surroundings clearly. He could only hold back the ecstasy, excitement and excitement in his heart, and went out tremblingly. Kneel and kowtow to thank God.

Feng Ziying and other Qingtan students couldn't help shouting in secret, Zhuangyuan Lang, and he is the number one scholar in Huiyuan, winning double prizes!

This is enough to make Lian's state affairs a special book in the history of the imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"No.2 Zhejiang Yuyao Gongshi Huang Zunsu!"

……

"First Class No.3 Yang Sichang, a tribute from Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture!"

From the corner of Feng Ziying's eyes, she saw Yang Wenruo staggering out of the queue, obviously over-excited, and knelt down on the ground, thanking him.

……

"Second Class No.1 Fujian Tong'an Gongshi Xu Xie!"

I didn't expect Xu Xie to be so tall, which surprised Feng Ziying, so there is no need to leave the shift, just kneel down and thank you.

"Second Class No.2 Zhejiang Yanzhou Mansion Gongshi Wang Qiaonian!"

I don't know this one Feng Ziying, he should be from an academy in the south of the Yangtze River, the same as the second place Huang Zunsu.

……

"No.8 Gongshihou Xun, Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture, No. [-]!"

I didn't expect Hou Xun to be able to get such a high score in the exam. He deserves to be one of the influential figures in Chongzheng Academy.

"Second Class No.9 Feng Keng, a tribute from Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture!"

A burst of blood surged in Feng Ziying's head?Really yourself?That's right, it's me!

How can it be wrong to have the same nationality and name?
But this is the ninth in the top two?Is it too high, completely beyond imagination? All kinds of thoughts and questions flooded into Feng Ziying's mind like a tide, but at this moment, they can be turned into mechanical kneeling movements, thank you.

Then there is a long wait for the roll call. After you finish singing, you have to wait until others finish singing one by one.

Of course Feng Ziying didn't care much about other people, but of course he had to pay attention to the classmates he was familiar with. Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Feng Ziying listened to the rankings of other classmates.

Not surprisingly, Song Tongyin and Luo Shangzhong both ranked No. 30 and No. [-] respectively, and Fang Zhenru ranked No. [-].

Fan Jingwen was undoubtedly the most pleasant surprise, 97th in the second class, and He Fengsheng was another surprise, 110th in the second class.

The rest of the students can only rank in the top three, like Zheng Chongjian ranked 260 in the top three, and Fang Youdu ranked 330, both of which have greatly improved compared to the previous exam rankings.

This roll call continued until the end of the last Kneel.

Yi Danbizhong, an official of Honglu Temple, knelt down and delivered a speech: "Heaven is blessed with literary fortune, virtuous men ascend to mediocrity, and the ceremony should be celebrated!"

Civil and military officials and a group of Jinshi who made the list kowtowed three times every five times, and came out after the ceremony.
