Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Chapter 163 Zimo Passed the Imperial College

The next day, the emperor sat in the throne room and looked at the incomprehensible faces of the ministers below. He could not help but frown.

When Xiao Dezi saw that the emperor was upset, he quickly stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the edict you issued yesterday must be announced."

"Xiao Dezi announces the imperial edict."

Xiao Dezi read the imperial edict again.

In fact, some ministers knew something about the imperial edict last night, but they didn't hear the details.

But those who entered the lobby saw it.

They were all veteran officials in the palace. The decisions made by the emperor must have been carefully considered. As officials, they did not dare to make any comments.

They appear calm on the surface, but in fact, they are already in turmoil inside.

This concerns their future generations. If they take the wrong side, they will miss the opportunity.

Now the emperor has granted official titles to all of Situ Jin's confidants. In the future, they will have no place to speak.

All important positions are occupied by Situ Jin's direct descendants.

It seems that Situ Jin will have to inherit the throne in the future.

After the fifteenth day, it was the Spring Examination, which was held at the Imperial Academy of the Ministry of Rites.

The examination will be held on the 9th, 12th and 15th day of the second lunar month and will be divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.

Because the imperial examination requires one to pass the provincial examination to become a Juren, then the metropolitan examination to become a Gongshi, and then the palace examination to become a Jinshi.

Zimo is Dong Yu's student. Because of his status, he has secretly passed the examination for the title of scholar.

There is no need to go to the academy examination or the provincial examination. Just go directly to the joint examination and then the palace examination.

He could recite Zimo's Confucian classics, the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics" by heart.

The format of the eight-part essay is to break the topic, continue the topic, start the lecture, get started, start of the section, middle section, last section and conclude the section.

Requirements: Imitate the tone of sages and convey their thoughts. Interpretations must be based on Zhu Xi's Annotations on the Four Books.

A scholar is chosen after three examinations. Getting first place in the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination is called "winning three prizes in a row".

This Zimo will not pass. He took the exam in secret, afraid that others would know. How could he dare to get the first place?

There are four joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting your name on the list of successful candidates.

The four sorrows in life are: a widow weeping with her child, a general being captured by the enemy, a palace maid losing favor, and a candidate losing heart.

All the scholars who study hard for decades but fail to pass the exam would really want to go crazy.

Especially for those students from poor families, their whole family would work hard to support them to study. If they don't have enough financial resources, some would even sell their children.

After nine days of hard work, the day of the results announcement finally arrived.

Zimo passed the exam and ranked second.

The first place is Dong Yu’s grandson Dong Xuanyu.

The third one was Zhu Dandong, the son of a merchant in Fucheng. They were both students of Dong Yu.

The top three were all Dong Yu’s students, and now Dong Yu could no longer hide.

The emperor summoned him specially.

If he refuses to be given an official title, then give him a fiefdom and reward him with gold, silver and jewelry.

He was awarded the fief of the capital city, 100,000 taels of silver notes, 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and a house in the capital. His descendants would always enjoy the salary of a fifth-rank official.

Dong Yu's grandsons Dong Xuanyu and Zimo entered the Imperial College at the same time.

These are all talented people. Especially my grandson. He can learn a lot in the Imperial College. Let him grow up here, and he will be much more mature in his speech and work.

Zimo has a gentle personality and has learned a lot from Charlotte. He is humble and unpretentious. He has love in his heart. While working hard, he also learns from the strengths and weaknesses of his friends around him to make himself more perfect.

Polish your mind. Forge your once tender heart into a man of steel.

Zimo's growth and wisdom are related to Dong Yu's strict education over the years.

So there is a reason why the emperor gave Dong Yu such great honors and material things.

Charlotte also thanked Mr. Dong for cultivating Zimo over the years.

Therefore, the house in Beijing that the emperor bestowed upon Dong Yu was renovated and decorated by Xia Luo and Situ Jin. Even the interior design was designed with modern thinking in mind.

The day Dong Yu entered the house, he was shocked by it.

This is entering wonderland.

Lying on a big Simmons bed. Air conditioning is on when it's cold or hot. There's food in the refrigerator when you're hungry.

If you are thirsty, there is a water dispenser. If your clothes are dirty, there is a washing machine.

You can also take a hot bath at night.

Live like a god.

The yard is even more quiet, with flowers, birds, fish and insects all placed in appropriate places.

There are also many Nanyang toys that you can play with during your leisure time.

A comfortable life comes when you say it.

Since we have given Dong Yu modern things.

Xia Luo asked Situ Jin to renovate his mother's bedroom as well.

Otherwise, if I knew about this, I would help Dong Yu transform first.

So as not to arouse their jealousy.

According to modern thinking, Situ Jin added modern machines to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

Air conditioner, washing machine, refrigerator, water heater.

After the bedroom was built, the emperor didn't go to any of his concubines' rooms this time.

After returning from court, I went to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

Many concubines were curious.

Later I found out that the son was very capable and used some South Asian items to make his bedroom look like a fairy palace.

They also want to own Nanyang items, but they dare not mention it. And they cannot mention it.

The Queen is an example. People should not be too greedy. Those who are in trouble will be the ones in the deep palace.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess now have a flourishing network of contacts and finances.

Everyone thought that the prince was preparing to inherit the throne in the future.

Little did they know that Situ Jin and Xia Luo were studying and preparing ways to return to the afterlife.

Because I will be a 15-year-old next month.

They were well prepared and had enough money to handle everything.

The guests invited come from all over the world.

There is General Ye Xiuxiu of the Northern Frontier and Princess Nalan of the Northern Bandits.

Mr. Sasha from the Western Regions. Princess Tasha. The prince is coming back too. The little Khan from Nanyang. Xiaonan, Liang Bo, Liang Sheng and the rest of them need to live in one manor. If they need to bring their maids, servants and families with them, we have to calculate everything.

Otherwise, if you come from far away and don’t get a good accommodation, it means you haven’t been treated well.

Charlotte invited them not just to celebrate her coming of age and collect some money.

She also wanted to show the economy and strength of Mobei Kingdom.

Let people abroad see that Mobei Kingdom is now one step ahead of other countries in terms of economic development and strength.

Tell them not to invade the territory of Mobei Kingdom at every turn.

Their territory is inviolable.

Of course, Situ Jin wanted to use advanced weapons to show off Charlotte.

Eighteen guns are a must.

When the wedding day came, they had no choice.

So she could only let herself go on Charlotte's coming-of-age day.

The invitations were sent to all the relatives, friends and ministers long ago. It would take ten days to travel to the remote places.

As the day was getting closer, an invitation letter from the Right Prime Minister's wife left Situ Jin and Xia Luo puzzled.

But thinking back, it is true that the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Xi are now blatantly trying to win over Situ Jin and Xia Luo's connections.

Anyone who can stay in the hall for five years is considered an old minister.

They have quick thinking and are very accurate in aiming at their targets.

Looking at the actions and moods of the Emperor and Concubine Xi in recent days, they have discovered many phenomena.

As long as you are in touch with the Crown Princess, then the opportunity for promotion will come.

For the sake of future generations.

Their desire to curry favor with the Crown Princess became more and more urgent.

After that, various posts came in like snowflakes.

Situ Jin and Xia Luo couldn't go to every family, so they picked a day to go to Xiangshan. They also wanted to relax.

Besides, Xiangshan is very close to the capital.
