Cannon fodder warms your heart
Chapter 11 Marry Ruosheng
, bright and dazzling light, attracting everyone's attention.
Song Ciyou introduced to his classmates generously, "This is my husband, Du Ruosheng."
The classmate was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't know whether to envy or sympathize. According to the law of the dynasty, when a man marries, the husband's family can't stop his wife and remarry. Whether he can marry a concubine or not has the permission of his wife. Now Song Ciyou is a juren, which one? The noble family will agree to marry their daughter to him as his side wife.I didn't know what was going on in my heart, I smiled and congratulated Song Ciyou on his promotion and said hello to Du Ruosheng.
Song Ciyou walked among the students with ease, and most of them had a friendly attitude, but there were also some who didn't like Song Ciyou.
"Oh, why is Mrs. Sister-in-law silent? Does that mean you look down on me?" The man was a little annoyed when he saw that Du Ruosheng just nodded and didn't speak.
Song Ciyou had no intention of explaining, the governor and the governor just came together, encouraged all the students, especially praised Song Ciyou, everyone happily started the banquet, and at the banquet, all the students tried their best to show their face in front of the governor and the governor Kung fu to express themselves, one made a poem, that one recited a fu, and the other presented a second painting. Only Song Ciyou was eating happily, and gave Du Ruosheng a few pastries. He didn't have a good meal on the way, he must be hungry.
Du Ruosheng didn't refuse either, and while listening to the students reciting poems, he ate the food that Song Ciyou brought over.
"Hahaha, Song Jieyuan, haven't you eaten in ten days? Come to eat at the Luming Banquet?" A man in his twenties opened his mouth, pointing at Song Ciyou.
Song Ciyou raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?" Song Ciyou wanted to recall how he had offended this aggressive person.
Since ancient times, people in the world remember only the first, not the second and the third.Song Ciyou's question caused him to slap the man's face, and the man's face flushed red and he stammered angrily, "Song, Song Jieyuan doesn't care who I am, I just want to save face for all the students in the world."
Song Ciyou swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and looked at the governor and the county guard. The two big bosses happily watched the fun. Almost every year, the Luming Banquet would do something, which happened to be convenient for the adults to observe the students.
Since you agree to do something, then come.
"Oh, my brother, please explain what a banquet is. Banquets, gentlemen eat and drink, that is, eating and drinking. Why don't you lose face to the students and say that students should not eat or drink, or that the food at the banquet is inappropriate. , so what is a banquet without food and wine?"
Song Ciyou looked puzzled, and stared at the student with interest while resting his chin.Du Ruosheng smiled, knowing that this person was going to tease him again.
The student's face was flushed, and he was speechless to refute. He wanted to step on Xie Yuan's limelight to attract the attention of the two adults, so as to make a good impression, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.When the sheriff caught the adult's gaze, he immediately gained courage, and said bluffingly, "Then you shouldn't feast on the deer crowing banquet."
"Oh, "The Big Banquet Election Records [-]" contains: "Every year after the mid-autumn test, the chief officials drink wine from the village, meet with the bureaucrats, set up the guests and hosts, Chen Zudou, prepare the orchestra, use the livestock, and sing "Deer The poem "Ming" is because of the long and short history with Qi Ai.Today, the prefects and county magistrates and the governors of the state hosted a banquet for the successful candidates, the chief examiners, deacons and new candidates, and prepared delicious food. Isn’t it to invite us to celebrate together, so why can’t we drink good food and wine? "
"You, you, making unreasonable words." The student trembled angrily, and Song Ciyou accepted it as soon as he saw it, and gave the student a little courtesy, "Since that's the case, thank you brother for reminding me, I don't care if I don't drink." After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks, and the others were eating The faces of the people were also hot, and they all looked at the speaker who was speaking.
Fu Yin coughed and laughed, "The purpose of holding a banquet is to have a drink with everyone. Come, please feel free. Everyone, please try Song Jieyuan's favorite Dongpo meat. The taste is not bad." My heart is warm.
☆, to Beijing to rush for the exam
Song Ciyou picked up the chopsticks and started eating again, and no one dared to criticize him anymore.
Suddenly the county guard noticed Du Ruosheng, and asked, "Which candidate is the one next to Song Jieyuan?"
Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng stood up and saluted at the same time, Song Ciyou said, "This son is a student's wife, surnamed Du, named Ruosheng, styled Ziyu, not a student of this year."
The sheriff nodded, instead of talking to Song Ciyou, he turned his head to look at Du Ruosheng, "Seeing that you are also very handsome, and you are Mrs. Xie Yuan, you must have a good literary talent, and there are many family members here today, how about reciting a poem? "
Du Ruosheng raised his eyebrows and saluted the student, Song Ciyou looked at him worriedly, he walked to the table for the students to display, spread out the paper and dipped it in ink, the handwriting was majestic and majestic, a poem chanting deer singing stood out on the paper , everyone present is talented and learned, so they naturally know the gold content of this poem.
Du Ruosheng retreated slightly, and retreated behind Song Ciyou. Song Ciyou's forces explained to the two officers, "Unfortunately, my wife contracted a cold when I was young. If the treatment was not timely, my throat was burned. Please forgive me."
"Isn't that just a mute?" The brother who said that Song Ciyou could eat before spoke again.
Everyone who heard this sentence was stunned for a moment, and some even shouted loudly, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.Immediately, most of the people in the yard focused their eyes on Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng vaguely.
With such a meaningful word, as well as his piercing gaze, Song Ciyou quietly covered Du Ruosheng next to him, the ease and joy on his face disappeared, and he passed on contemptuously, "This is you The so-called student's face, Du Gong once said: "Don't hear people's faults, don't see people's shortcomings, don't talk about others' faults, pretend to be a student, talk about others' shortcomings to show your own strengths, what do you think? Are you proud that you can only talk? "
After Song Ciyou finished speaking, he asked his classmates doubtfully, "Who are you? Why do you find me so unhappy, but how can you offend me?" "Song Ciyou asked the right question, but Classmate Song looked at that person, and his angry fists clenched.
"Her name is Chen Fangrong, and she ranked in the provincial examination. She once threatened that there was an inside story about this scientific examination, and that he was as talented as you. She also said that he should be Xie Yuan." Someone suddenly spoke up on the field. It turned out that this person was the same as Chen Fang. Rong is a classmate, and the two are old enemies, taking the opportunity to attack.As soon as his words came out, the whole scene became silent. Cheating in the imperial examination was involved in a lot. Many officials were pulled down because of this. The emperor decided to punish them severely.
Song Ciyou heard the words and didn't follow his words to mention the last paragraph, but said oh, and didn't know what oh.
Chen Mianrong's face turned red with anger, a man who has only been studying for a few years can be ranked first in the list, and he has studied hard for more than [-] years before he barely made it to the list, how can he swallow this breath. "So what about Xie Yuan? Didn't he marry a man, but he is still a mute, what a coward to look down on." He almost said the word "man, dumb" through gritted teeth, in a contemptuous and sneering tone.
As soon as these words came out, Song Ciyou's expression darkened instantly. When he saw Du Ruosheng's clenched hands, killing intent flashed in his eyes for the first time.
He knelt down facing the direction of the imperial city, "In the last years of the former Qi Dynasty, the emperor's plan was swaying, the desolate lord ignited the flames of the prairie fire, and the bandits took advantage of the opportunity to fight for the deer. They were cruel and violent, and they ran amok. Banqueting the emperor and the empress Shengxiao The fate of the only husband is gone, determined by the gods, and the speed is like lightning, and the heroes are followed, so a big banquet is held, and the empress Shengxiao is also a man, helping the late emperor to drive out the Tartars. Mo, the first ancestor personally said that a male son would be the future husband, what shame is there, or do you intend to overthrow the holy ancestor's words and disapprove the national law of the feast?"
Song Ciyou easily pushed this person to the position of not recognizing the founding emperor and the founding male queen and trying to rebel.The sheriff was shocked, and hurriedly knelt in the direction of the country. The other students knelt down on the ground, but Chen Wurong didn't react and stood there blankly. This act further proved his disrespect for the ancestor.
The governor and the county guard looked at Song Ciyou with fear, and the literati were the most accused of saying something wrong and being caught.Chen Juren threatened that it was a big taboo to be ashamed of a male husband, so the county guard ordered Chen Yurong to be tied up. No scientific examination."
The onlookers never expected that the quarrel would turn out like this. Song Ciyou's words pushed people into the abyss. They looked at Song Ciyou with deep fear and never dared to laugh at him again. Dumb husband and wife.
Song Ciyou gently lowered his eyes, covering the expression in his eyes.The anticipation gushing out of his chest when he passed the Jieyuan exam reappeared again, and it was even stronger, making his fingers tremble with excitement whenever he thought about it.There are tens of thousands of mouths in a person, why does he behave like a man with his tail between his legs, who dares to mock his Ruosheng again, he tore his mouth.Think if.If one can grasp the supreme power and become a person who stands under one person and above ten thousand people, things like today will definitely not happen again.
At that time, even if people are not angry, no matter how unwilling they are, they will not dare to insult themselves and Ruosheng like this, as long as he is strong enough to make them afraid.
Unknowingly, Song Ciyou went further and further on the road of becoming a traitor.
On the way back, Du Ruosheng saw that Song Ciyou was still unhappy, and was amused by his childishness, but also worried about his extreme and cruelty today.Gently picking up Song Ciyou's hand, stroking the marks on his palm, Song Ciyou couldn't help but look at him.
Du Ruosheng picked up his hand and put it on his cheek to rub it lightly, the anger in Song Ciyou's heart ran out all of a sudden.He gritted his teeth and swore like a curse, "I won't let anyone bully you again."
Du Ruosheng squeezed his hand and said silently in his heart, "I believe you."
The provincial examination is a national examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites, also known as Li Wei.It was held in the second year of the township examination, that is, in the years of Chou, Chen, Wei and Xu.At that time, all the candidates from all over the country will take the imperial examination in the future, and the examination period will be in February in spring, so it is also called Chunwei.Chunwei is also divided into three sessions, held on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth day of February respectively.
Many candidates began to rush to the capital one after another after the results of the provincial examination were released.Song Ciyou was in the south, and after the Lu Ming Banquet, he had to pack up and go to the capital. This trip would take the second half of the year, so he was not at ease that Du Ruosheng was at home.
So, he decided to take Du Ruosheng with him. This is an imperial examination road that two people worked hard together. Du Ruosheng is not an inner house girl, so he shouldn't be trapped in this yard.Du Ruosheng's eyes lit up when he learned that Song Ciyou had invited him to Beijing for the exam. He heard from his grandfather that going to Beijing for the exam was very hard work.There are also people who contracted a cold on the road and had no money to seek medical treatment, and died of illness.There were even avalanches on some roads, and they were often buried in the snow... Song Ciyou was still young, he needed to be taken care of by himself, and he was able to study with him along the way, and the feeling of being needed made Du Ruosheng's heart swell.
The two packed up, said goodbye to their families and embarked on a journey. This year, most of the candidates who went to Beijing for the exam will not have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year at home.Along the way, Song Ciyou met many Juren who were going to Beijing for the exam, and he would introduce his husband to the students generously. After getting in touch with them, everyone was impressed by Du Ruosheng's talents.
It's much safer if you go together, at least when you can't catch up with the station, a dozen or so people are nested in the ruined temple and don't have to worry about big bugs breaking in.After walking for about two months, the weather became colder and colder. It was snowing too thickly and it was difficult for the carriage to move forward. Unfortunately, Song Ciyou got a cold. These days, the wind and cold can kill people.
When the wind and snow started, the road was difficult.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes penetrates everywhere, like holding a sharp blade, slashing across people's faces one by one.The carriage couldn't go, so the students went on foot, and the sick Song Ciyou was left behind by the companions. In order to catch up with the exam, they didn't dare to delay.
Du Ruosheng rushed into the Mangman University with Song Ciyou on his back. Song Ciyou didn't want to, and he could wait three years to take the exam again. It would be bad for Du Ruosheng to be exhausted by heavy books.
Du Ruosheng's stubborn temper brought up Song Ciyou to go on the road. Song Ciyou, who was so dizzy from fever, lay on Du Ruosheng's back. He thought that he would never do anything to sorry Du Ruosheng in his life.Song Ciyou carried it for a while and Du Ruosheng was drenched in sweat. Song Ciyou was afraid that he would get sick too, so he took off his coat and wrapped him up, found a broken door, and lay on it with the book, while Du Ruosheng dragged him away.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and Song Ciyou, who was lying on the door panel, froze several times. He didn't know if he could make it to the capital alive.Du Ruosheng walked on the snowy road for several days. When walking, her feet were so hot that she didn't feel anything. Only when she stopped would she feel her feet were cold and painful.
The two suffered from frostbite in a few places, especially the feet and ears.Along the way, his purse became more and more flat. Because of Song Ciyou's illness, he spent a lot of money renting a car, and it was snowing heavily, Song Ciyou wanted to give up several times. It was Du Ruosheng who gritted his teeth firmly and dragged him to the town. Find a doctor.
After staying in the hospital for five days, they finally recovered from the typhoid fever, and the two moved forward quickly. Fortunately, they didn't encounter an avalanche. The weather was cold, and the frail Juren couldn't hold on. If it weren't for Du Ruosheng, he Probably also died in this snow field.
This way of rushing to the test is also a kind of provincial test screening.Those who are not strong enough to endure this hardship will naturally not be able to reach the capital, and those who are weak will also be eliminated.The road for the children of poor families to catch up with the exam is difficult, and it is not easy to pass the exam. They know the hardships of the low-level people, know how to benefit the people, and have a certain amount of knowledge... But even so, the current court holds great power in their hands Most people are still aristocratic families, and there are very few people from poor families, and there are almost no people who can speak for the common people.
It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family. Many students from a poor family knew it before they went to the capital, but what can they do if they know it?Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he has to work hard.At the end of December, Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng finally got closer and closer to the capital. If they stood on a high place, they could vaguely see the continuous palaces in the center of the capital.
This way, they walked from the end of August to the end of December, and they walked for four full months.Sure enough, the capital city is different from the small county where he lives, showing the prosperity and wealth of the imperial capital everywhere.Du Ruosheng looked at the gate of the city. When he was a child, his grandfather was a first-rank official, and his home was in this prosperous capital city.
After entering the city gate, because the imperial examinations were very lively in the capital, the inns were full, so the two found a farmhouse to rent and concentrated on studying. Apart from accompanying him to study, Du Ruosheng also cooked and washed for him by himself. Like ordinary couples.
The provincial examination is held by the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province. There are three sessions in total, each session lasts three days, which means you have to stay in the Gongyuan for nine days.The first test is the classics, the second test is the double test, and the third test is three times.Since the provincial examination is a higher-level examination, the number of examiners is double that of the rural examination.Most of the examiners, co-examiners, and promotion officials are the Six Books of History and Hanlin Bachelors.The official who is in charge of the examination is called the seat master or the seat teacher.The candidates who passed the examination are called Gongshi, and the No.1 candidates are called Huiyuan.
The imperial examination is not only the main way for the imperial court to select officials, but also the main way for the princes to increase their influence. Song Ciyou worked hard to prepare for the exam. Qinghe County is remote and has limited resources. , especially there are many talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but Song Ciyou is sure to win the yuan for a while, but he has no intention of being so prominent.
He told Du Ruosheng his idea, and Du Ruosheng agreed without thinking. The current emperor is old, the prince has no virtue, and several princes are fighting to the death. It is not suitable to be involved in the whirlpool at this time.
Du Ruosheng knows the dangers of the officialdom best. Back then, his grandfather was demoted because the emperor insisted on abolishing the first son of the Empress Yuan, and made his favorite concubine, Xiao Shizi, the crown prince. Made a mistake and sent it back to the place of origin.
The ninth day of the exam passed by in a hurry. Song Ciyou, who had taken numerous major and minor exams, was in a good mood. He took Du Ruosheng for a walk around the capital when the results were not released.There is a large lake at the foot of the Huangjue Temple outside the capital, and Du Ruosheng likes it very much. The two of them were fishing by the lake one day, and a commoner man came over.
Du Ruosheng stood up abruptly, blocking Song Ciyou behind him, and after saluting, he said to the man in sign language, "Hi Your Highness!"
The man was taken aback when he saw his sign language, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you speak with your throat?"
Seeing that this person was too close to Du Ruosheng, Song Ciyou immediately took Du Ruosheng behind him and looked badly, "Who are you? Stay away from my husband."
☆, emperor close minister
Hearing this, the man didn't give Song Ciyou a single look, but ignored him and walked towards Du Ruosheng, "Ah Sheng, what's wrong with your voice." He wanted to reach out to touch Du Ruosheng, but Song Ciyou pushed him away in a hurry , the man didn't expect Song Ciyou to make a move, and fell into the lake with a splash.
Du Ruosheng was anxious, pushed away Song Ciyou and stretched out his hand to pull him up, his anxiety did not seem to be fake, Song Ciyou felt as sour as a crushed lemon in his heart, he had never seen Du Ruosheng so anxious.But it was impossible for him to let Du Ruosheng into the water, so he was reluctant to jump down and lift up the person who was scratched by the dog.
The man spat out water, pointed at Song Ciyou, "Shuzi, dare you, it's simply unreasonable."
Song Ciyou rolled his eyes, "You start with my husband first."
That angry half-dead rushed forward and wanted to beat Song Ciyou, why did Song Ciyou stand up and let him beat him, the two of them wrestled together, Song Ciyou was furious, and as soon as this person appeared, Du Ruosheng let go of the hands they were holding together , this person is Du Ruosheng's acquaintance at first glance, maybe he will snatch Du Ruosheng away.
And that man was also half-dead with anger, what happened to his white and tender companion back then, his voice became hoarse, and he was married to a man, this man looked like a sly, he was not a good person.
Du Ruosheng saw that although the two of them tried their best, they didn't kill them, so they didn't bother them any more, since it wasn't appropriate to help anyone anyway.
The two were tired from beating, and they collapsed there panting like dead pigs. They glared at each other and wanted to seek comfort from Du Ruosheng.
Du Ruosheng pulled the man up, and then stretched out his hand to Song Ciyou. Song Ciyou snorted coldly, turned his head and got up on his own, feeling extremely aggrieved, why didn't he pull him first, which shows that he is not as important as that person.
Du Ruosheng didn't notice Song Ciyou's abnormality, but chatted with that person. Song Ciyou was not a shameless person, so he didn't bother him, but found a remote place to fish. Didn't catch it.
It was only then that Du Ruosheng noticed Song Ciyou's abnormality. He smiled apologetically at the man, not seeing Song Ciyou slapping the water with a fishing rod, walked over, took Song Ciyou's hand, and wrote a word "Tai" on the palm of his hand, Song Ciyou You instantly understood that the person who appeared at the foot of Huangjue Temple was the abolished prince Yan Qingyang.
Song Ciyou recited poems silently in his heart: A dragon swims in shallow water and is attacked by shrimps, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, a successful cat is worse than a tiger, and a phoenix with hairless hair is not as good as a chicken.
Du Ruosheng turned his head to apologize to the deposed prince, and explained in sign language.On weekdays, when Du Ruosheng seldom used sign language, most of the time he knew what he wanted to say with just one look at Song Ciyou. There was a pen and paper at home, and he would write down some complicated words. This was the first time he saw Du Ruosheng use sign language. I don't know if Yan Qingyang can understand it, but he can't anyway.
Yan Qingyang understood, and felt so guilty that he couldn't be more guilty. Although Song Ciyou couldn't understand him, he could also see that his guilt was real. Now he was trapped in Huangjue Temple, his mother had passed away, his grandfather was exiled, and his mentor and friend had died. Being swept away, he didn't know if he was grieving for himself or for Old Man Du.
Saying goodbye to Yan Qingyang, and returning home, Song Ciyou pressed Du Ruosheng onto the bed, and pressed him about his relationship with the deposed prince. His sour tone almost drowned Du Ruosheng, and finally caused him to fall into his arms out of breath. Only then did Du Ruosheng explain clearly that he was only ten years old when the accident happened, so how could he have feelings for the deposed prince beyond the normal relationship.Song Ciyou thinks about it too, even if Du Ruosheng likes that waste prince, he will occupy Du Ruosheng and won't give them a chance.
The matter of abolishing the prince was forgotten, and the results came out five days later. Song Ciyou won the No. 9 tribute, and he can participate in the palace examination.
Song Ciyou entered the palace with everyone and was taken to the Palace of Preservation. During the palace examination, in order to take care of the candidates, the emperor would not appear in person.After entering the Palace of Preservation, candidates go through roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute and other etiquette, and then issue policy questions, formulate policy questions, use a time affairs policy, and the length of the question is two to three hundred characters, and they ask about one or two things.
The topic of the exam is current affairs questions. Regarding the major events that happened in the court this year, Song Ciyou thought over and over again, and couldn't help but write [-] words eloquently. , the emperor was old and obsessed with alchemy, and his spirit was not good, so he dismissed him after asking a few casual questions.
Song Ciyou returned to the small courtyard he rented, and told Du Ruosheng about the progress of the palace examination, and the two waited at home for the results to be announced.
When the grades came out, Song Ciyou was No.3 in the Second A, which was neither good nor bad among the students, and the No.6 grade was not bad.
Because there are only one and three candidates in the palace examination, they will be appointed immediately.The rest of the second- and third-class Jinshi go through the "Court Examination", and after comprehensive examination results before and after, the Imperial Academy is selected as the Shujishi, commonly known as the Hanlin.The rest were distributed to various ministries to serve as chiefs, or to serve as county magistrates in other places. Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng discussed that they intend to go to a local county magistrate to avoid the change of the throne.
However, things didn't go so smoothly.
Just when Song Ciyou was preparing for the imperial examination, people from the prime minister's mansion came to propose marriage. The person who proposed marriage was the third lady from the previous life. Song Ciyou also inquired about it. The prime minister's mansion raised many such concubines for marriage. Concubine Xiao Gui, who was very favored by the dynasty, was also born in the prime minister's residence.
Du Ruosheng squinted at Song Ciyou playfully with a smile in his eyes, he would solve the trouble he caused by himself, and he would not help.
Song Ci looked at him sadly. He didn't know where the rotten peach blossoms came from, so he declined the marriage as a manly man, and there was no movement in the prime minister's mansion.In a few days, I heard that the third lady of the prime minister's mansion and Tan Hualang had married this time, and the son-in-laws under the list were all unmarried and school-age students. Those who brought their husbands to Beijing for the exam like Song Ciyou almost had no chance.
Without a strong backer, he probably wouldn't stay in the capital for the imperial examination. As for where to be assigned to the county, it depends on luck, but Song Ciyou really hopes to assign himself to a barren place, he has a lot of money The program improves local agricultural administration.
While Song Ciyou was waiting for the imperial examination, a major event happened in the imperial court. The son of the emperor, Zhongshu Sheren, lost his manners with the imperial court, offended the prince and was demoted. This person was the number one scholar three years ago. Zhi Zhongshu Sheren, as the closest confidant of the emperor, is in charge of imperial edicts and imperial palace finances, and is responsible for holding imperial edicts, making policy decisions, and assisting the emperor.
And this person is married to the cousin of the Seventh Prince's concubine, and has repeatedly spoken good things about the Seventh Prince to the Emperor. Deceiving the emperor and arousing the suspicion of the emperor led to his relegation, and the seventh prince was implicated and imprisoned for a year.
As soon as this incident happened, the emperor wanted to choose one of the new subjects as his close minister, and all the families began to operate in an instant.Zhongshusheren is the chief secretary of the emperor. From the sixth rank, he is one level higher than the county magistrate. Although the rank is not very high, but because he has the right to handle edicts, participate in secrets, and review memorials, he has a lot of power. Both the prince and the prince attached great importance to this position, and immediately the outstanding students, especially the top ten, became the favorites, but the emperor did not wait for the princes to have contact with the new scholars, and summoned the top twenty students the next day.
The students also know that this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. Under normal circumstances, those who take part in the imperial examinations and are favored by the emperor are trained in the Imperial Academy for one year and then transferred to Zhongshu Sheren as confidantes. nourish.
The topic of the imperial examination is "Hua Sangtian", which is only three characters, and there are many articles in it. Song Ciyou was born in a farming family, and he has a lot of insight into this, and he does not hide his clumsiness. He wrote it in a smooth manner, and the emperor walked around among the students Go, it made the students terrified, and a few people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Song Ciyou has a habit, he easily sinks in when doing things, at home, he sinks in to study, and he can't hear the four cubs wailing next door. So he didn't find the emperor standing beside him for a long time.
The students handed in satisfactory answers, and after the Holy Majesty read them, Song Ciyou was hand-picked as the new Zhongshu Scheeren, who would start work three days later.
Killing a dark horse caught all the princes by surprise, but seeing the high-ranking god king's interested eyes immediately calmed down, the seven princes were imprisoned for a year, and already lost the chance with the throne, the prince was overjoyed. To pave the way, although he intends to let Tanhualang, the prime minister's son-in-law, become the new Zhongshu Sheren, but the prime minister's house is his natal family but has a lot of power, so his father doesn't want him to continue to grow.
Song Ciyou just felt that he didn't know what kind of shit he stepped on. Zhongshu Sheren, it sounds nice, but he has no power, no power and no backer to occupy that external place. The other companies who are staring at this position are really willing ?Moreover, companions are like companions to tigers. Today, the holy young man has been on the throne for more than forty years. He sees everything clearly. Isn't he looking for death if he does a little trick?
After returning home, Song Ciyou was covered in cold sweat, Du Ruosheng gently pressed his shoulder, Song Ciyou whispered about the affairs of the court, and said that he was appointed as Zhongshu Sheren.
Du Ruosheng saw Song Ciyou's worry, and he also frowned and thought about it. After a while, his brows relaxed, he took Song Ciyou's hand, and slowly wrote the words "Emperor's close minister" in his palm.
Song Ciyou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, yes, the emperor is a close minister, as long as he serves the emperor well, as for who will be the emperor in the future, it's up to him.
Song Ciyou was enlightened all of a sudden, and felt that Du Ruosheng was really very witty and intelligent. Du Ruosheng smiled wryly. He knew it from the fact that his grandfather was reprimanded. Today, His Majesty has a strong desire to control and is very fond of the throne. Whether it is the abolished prince, the current prince or other princes, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all people who have ambitions for their own throne.So what Song Ciyou has to do is to be loyal to His Majesty only.
Three days later, Song Ciyou wore a new purple official uniform and went to the Hall of Diligence to report. The eunuch who greeted him smiled very familiarly, "Mr. Song." Wen An, "Eunuch Zhou is a public security officer. He is an official at the beginning of his junior year. He doesn't understand many things. I hope that Eunuch Zhou can give us some pointers."
His respectful attitude put Eunuch Zhou in a good mood, "It's all for His Majesty, as it should be."
When they were taken to the Hall of Diligence, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Song Ciyou didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly waiting for the emperor to finish the review.
"Minister obeys the order." Song Ciyou should sit down and start to divide the chapters according to the priority. He neither made a fuss nor talked too much, and the whole hall was very quiet.
Zhongshu Sheren is the chief secretary of the emperor, and he probably knows what the secretary does. Song Ciyou quickly finished tidying up. Seeing that His Majesty's teacup was empty, he quietly picked up the teapot and poured tea, then sat quietly by the side, leisurely Nothing happened, so he picked up the history book that was originally on the desk and read it.
After all, Song Ciyou stayed in the modern world for 50 years in the last world, and his reverence and fear for the emperor was not so strong in his bones, and he didn't do anything wrong, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
When the emperor finished approving the memorial and looked up, he saw today's newly appointed Zhongshu Sheren reading and recording there. He was a little more comfortable than the emperor, and suddenly he couldn't see it. He coughed twice. I blinked my eyes before I realized it. I didn't know what to say for a moment, long live your majesty, long live your majesty, or my emperor, long live, long live?
The emperor is over sixty years old, who is not a good person in front of him these years, the first time he saw Song Ciyou from Zhongshushe, who was like a goose, he was a little suspicious of his vision, so that in the future he would always feel that Song Ciyou Worry is not very smart. "Song Zhongshu?"
"The minister is here." Song Ciyou responded quickly.
The emperor sighed, the clever one is so smart, but the stupid one is too blind to see, didn't you see that he finished approving the memorial?He packed it up and returned it to the ministers in a hurry.
☆, won the heart of the emperor
The emperor had no choice but to mention something, and Song Ciyou hurriedly cleared it up. This is the shortcoming of not entering the Imperial Academy, but he is more willing to come by himself than other people's courtiers.
In this way, Song Ciyou's work life officially began. Although the immediate boss is His Majesty, there is nothing wrong with him doing more and talking less.
There were few memorials this day, and the emperor finished reviewing them early. Song Ciyou immediately packed up the memorials and took them out to the cabinet. Just a few ministers came in to discuss. Minister, the emperor frowned and asked, "Song Zhongshu, what do you think of your son?"
Song Ciyou shook his head, "I don't have children, I won't have children in the future, and it doesn't matter if I don't have any heirs. I just want my husband to be safe." , He does not necessarily agree to let him give birth.And he was so trusted by the emperor because he had no heirs.
The emperor was amused by him, heirs are the most important thing in the world today, how can there be no heirs. "Oh, my little fifteen is 14 years old this year, and she has a beautiful face, how about I give you a marriage?"
Song Ciyou immediately fell to his knees, "I don't want to!"
The emperor was originally joking, but when he saw Song Ciyou's refusal so flatly, he felt upset, "But my princess is not good enough for you?"
"The emperor made amends, and the princess is fine. At the beginning, the subject has a husband, and the law of the court, this righteous husband cannot be separated." Song Ci fell on the ground with a firm attitude.
"Then what if I say that fifteen can be sidelined?" The emperor increased the weight.
"I don't want to!" Song Ciyou knelt on the ground with a firm voice.
The emperor's face was very gloomy, he hated his courtiers' rebellion against him again and again, the emperor, who was always not happy, dropped his glass directly.
"Crack!" Song Ciyou looked at the broken teacup right in front of his feet, trembling uncontrollably. It was the first time he felt the emperor's anger, and when he thought of implicating Du Ruosheng and his family, he immediately became afraid .
"I'm asking you for the last time, are you willing or not?" The emperor's voice was tinged with ice.
Song Ciyou looked at the jade pendant that Du Ruosheng hung on the official uniform, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to, please make amends, Your Majesty."
Seeing him like that, the emperor was not afraid, but why didn't he agree?The benefits of marrying a princess are not insignificant, and there is no requirement in this dynasty that the son-in-law should not interfere in politics. Shouldn't ordinary people kneel down and give thanks?
"Say, why?" If you can't tell how ugly you are today, Yinmao will kill him.
Song Ciyou heard that His Majesty's tone was a little relaxed, and decided to take a gamble, "I don't want to be unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous."
One sentence brought the emperor's anger up again, "The princess who marries me is disloyal, filial, benevolent and unrighteous?"
Song Ciyou said calmly, "In the country, the holy ancestor founded the country, and the empress Shengxiao accompanied him all the way. The holy ancestor was grateful for the empress Shengxiao, and established the national law, from the emperor to the common people. To divorce a wife, if a side wife is established, the husband's consent is required. If the minister violates it, it is disloyal to the country.
Yu's family, when the minister was not well-known, his family was poor, and he had no money to join the poetry club, which was convenient for gambling in the gambling shop. He owed 50 taels of silver, and the gambling shop called for debts. I, my husband, offering my ministers to study, is like creating a kindness. My grandfather and father have taught me many times that my husband's kindness to my ministers is as important as a mountain, and I should not insult him. If my ministers violate it, it is unfilial.
The minister did not learn from a famous teacher. He studied at home since he was a child. All his talents and learning were taught by Fulang. The minister, the minister's talent is worthy of the list, he is the minister's teacher, and he who betrays the teacher is not benevolent.
The husband of the minister, married himself to the minister, and never disliked the poverty of the minister's family. Even if the minister was studying and worried about the money in the family, he used cheap dowry to subsidize the minister many times. Later, he went to Beijing to take the exam. Infected with the wind and cold, he was about to give up this Enke. After three years of fighting, the husband of the minister gritted his teeth abruptly. Brother Chen, if you take responsibility for it, it is unrighteous.Please Your Majesty. "
Song Ciyou introduced to his classmates generously, "This is my husband, Du Ruosheng."
The classmate was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't know whether to envy or sympathize. According to the law of the dynasty, when a man marries, the husband's family can't stop his wife and remarry. Whether he can marry a concubine or not has the permission of his wife. Now Song Ciyou is a juren, which one? The noble family will agree to marry their daughter to him as his side wife.I didn't know what was going on in my heart, I smiled and congratulated Song Ciyou on his promotion and said hello to Du Ruosheng.
Song Ciyou walked among the students with ease, and most of them had a friendly attitude, but there were also some who didn't like Song Ciyou.
"Oh, why is Mrs. Sister-in-law silent? Does that mean you look down on me?" The man was a little annoyed when he saw that Du Ruosheng just nodded and didn't speak.
Song Ciyou had no intention of explaining, the governor and the governor just came together, encouraged all the students, especially praised Song Ciyou, everyone happily started the banquet, and at the banquet, all the students tried their best to show their face in front of the governor and the governor Kung fu to express themselves, one made a poem, that one recited a fu, and the other presented a second painting. Only Song Ciyou was eating happily, and gave Du Ruosheng a few pastries. He didn't have a good meal on the way, he must be hungry.
Du Ruosheng didn't refuse either, and while listening to the students reciting poems, he ate the food that Song Ciyou brought over.
"Hahaha, Song Jieyuan, haven't you eaten in ten days? Come to eat at the Luming Banquet?" A man in his twenties opened his mouth, pointing at Song Ciyou.
Song Ciyou raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?" Song Ciyou wanted to recall how he had offended this aggressive person.
Since ancient times, people in the world remember only the first, not the second and the third.Song Ciyou's question caused him to slap the man's face, and the man's face flushed red and he stammered angrily, "Song, Song Jieyuan doesn't care who I am, I just want to save face for all the students in the world."
Song Ciyou swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and looked at the governor and the county guard. The two big bosses happily watched the fun. Almost every year, the Luming Banquet would do something, which happened to be convenient for the adults to observe the students.
Since you agree to do something, then come.
"Oh, my brother, please explain what a banquet is. Banquets, gentlemen eat and drink, that is, eating and drinking. Why don't you lose face to the students and say that students should not eat or drink, or that the food at the banquet is inappropriate. , so what is a banquet without food and wine?"
Song Ciyou looked puzzled, and stared at the student with interest while resting his chin.Du Ruosheng smiled, knowing that this person was going to tease him again.
The student's face was flushed, and he was speechless to refute. He wanted to step on Xie Yuan's limelight to attract the attention of the two adults, so as to make a good impression, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot.When the sheriff caught the adult's gaze, he immediately gained courage, and said bluffingly, "Then you shouldn't feast on the deer crowing banquet."
"Oh, "The Big Banquet Election Records [-]" contains: "Every year after the mid-autumn test, the chief officials drink wine from the village, meet with the bureaucrats, set up the guests and hosts, Chen Zudou, prepare the orchestra, use the livestock, and sing "Deer The poem "Ming" is because of the long and short history with Qi Ai.Today, the prefects and county magistrates and the governors of the state hosted a banquet for the successful candidates, the chief examiners, deacons and new candidates, and prepared delicious food. Isn’t it to invite us to celebrate together, so why can’t we drink good food and wine? "
"You, you, making unreasonable words." The student trembled angrily, and Song Ciyou accepted it as soon as he saw it, and gave the student a little courtesy, "Since that's the case, thank you brother for reminding me, I don't care if I don't drink." After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks, and the others were eating The faces of the people were also hot, and they all looked at the speaker who was speaking.
Fu Yin coughed and laughed, "The purpose of holding a banquet is to have a drink with everyone. Come, please feel free. Everyone, please try Song Jieyuan's favorite Dongpo meat. The taste is not bad." My heart is warm.
☆, to Beijing to rush for the exam
Song Ciyou picked up the chopsticks and started eating again, and no one dared to criticize him anymore.
Suddenly the county guard noticed Du Ruosheng, and asked, "Which candidate is the one next to Song Jieyuan?"
Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng stood up and saluted at the same time, Song Ciyou said, "This son is a student's wife, surnamed Du, named Ruosheng, styled Ziyu, not a student of this year."
The sheriff nodded, instead of talking to Song Ciyou, he turned his head to look at Du Ruosheng, "Seeing that you are also very handsome, and you are Mrs. Xie Yuan, you must have a good literary talent, and there are many family members here today, how about reciting a poem? "
Du Ruosheng raised his eyebrows and saluted the student, Song Ciyou looked at him worriedly, he walked to the table for the students to display, spread out the paper and dipped it in ink, the handwriting was majestic and majestic, a poem chanting deer singing stood out on the paper , everyone present is talented and learned, so they naturally know the gold content of this poem.
Du Ruosheng retreated slightly, and retreated behind Song Ciyou. Song Ciyou's forces explained to the two officers, "Unfortunately, my wife contracted a cold when I was young. If the treatment was not timely, my throat was burned. Please forgive me."
"Isn't that just a mute?" The brother who said that Song Ciyou could eat before spoke again.
Everyone who heard this sentence was stunned for a moment, and some even shouted loudly, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.Immediately, most of the people in the yard focused their eyes on Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng vaguely.
With such a meaningful word, as well as his piercing gaze, Song Ciyou quietly covered Du Ruosheng next to him, the ease and joy on his face disappeared, and he passed on contemptuously, "This is you The so-called student's face, Du Gong once said: "Don't hear people's faults, don't see people's shortcomings, don't talk about others' faults, pretend to be a student, talk about others' shortcomings to show your own strengths, what do you think? Are you proud that you can only talk? "
After Song Ciyou finished speaking, he asked his classmates doubtfully, "Who are you? Why do you find me so unhappy, but how can you offend me?" "Song Ciyou asked the right question, but Classmate Song looked at that person, and his angry fists clenched.
"Her name is Chen Fangrong, and she ranked in the provincial examination. She once threatened that there was an inside story about this scientific examination, and that he was as talented as you. She also said that he should be Xie Yuan." Someone suddenly spoke up on the field. It turned out that this person was the same as Chen Fang. Rong is a classmate, and the two are old enemies, taking the opportunity to attack.As soon as his words came out, the whole scene became silent. Cheating in the imperial examination was involved in a lot. Many officials were pulled down because of this. The emperor decided to punish them severely.
Song Ciyou heard the words and didn't follow his words to mention the last paragraph, but said oh, and didn't know what oh.
Chen Mianrong's face turned red with anger, a man who has only been studying for a few years can be ranked first in the list, and he has studied hard for more than [-] years before he barely made it to the list, how can he swallow this breath. "So what about Xie Yuan? Didn't he marry a man, but he is still a mute, what a coward to look down on." He almost said the word "man, dumb" through gritted teeth, in a contemptuous and sneering tone.
As soon as these words came out, Song Ciyou's expression darkened instantly. When he saw Du Ruosheng's clenched hands, killing intent flashed in his eyes for the first time.
He knelt down facing the direction of the imperial city, "In the last years of the former Qi Dynasty, the emperor's plan was swaying, the desolate lord ignited the flames of the prairie fire, and the bandits took advantage of the opportunity to fight for the deer. They were cruel and violent, and they ran amok. Banqueting the emperor and the empress Shengxiao The fate of the only husband is gone, determined by the gods, and the speed is like lightning, and the heroes are followed, so a big banquet is held, and the empress Shengxiao is also a man, helping the late emperor to drive out the Tartars. Mo, the first ancestor personally said that a male son would be the future husband, what shame is there, or do you intend to overthrow the holy ancestor's words and disapprove the national law of the feast?"
Song Ciyou easily pushed this person to the position of not recognizing the founding emperor and the founding male queen and trying to rebel.The sheriff was shocked, and hurriedly knelt in the direction of the country. The other students knelt down on the ground, but Chen Wurong didn't react and stood there blankly. This act further proved his disrespect for the ancestor.
The governor and the county guard looked at Song Ciyou with fear, and the literati were the most accused of saying something wrong and being caught.Chen Juren threatened that it was a big taboo to be ashamed of a male husband, so the county guard ordered Chen Yurong to be tied up. No scientific examination."
The onlookers never expected that the quarrel would turn out like this. Song Ciyou's words pushed people into the abyss. They looked at Song Ciyou with deep fear and never dared to laugh at him again. Dumb husband and wife.
Song Ciyou gently lowered his eyes, covering the expression in his eyes.The anticipation gushing out of his chest when he passed the Jieyuan exam reappeared again, and it was even stronger, making his fingers tremble with excitement whenever he thought about it.There are tens of thousands of mouths in a person, why does he behave like a man with his tail between his legs, who dares to mock his Ruosheng again, he tore his mouth.Think if.If one can grasp the supreme power and become a person who stands under one person and above ten thousand people, things like today will definitely not happen again.
At that time, even if people are not angry, no matter how unwilling they are, they will not dare to insult themselves and Ruosheng like this, as long as he is strong enough to make them afraid.
Unknowingly, Song Ciyou went further and further on the road of becoming a traitor.
On the way back, Du Ruosheng saw that Song Ciyou was still unhappy, and was amused by his childishness, but also worried about his extreme and cruelty today.Gently picking up Song Ciyou's hand, stroking the marks on his palm, Song Ciyou couldn't help but look at him.
Du Ruosheng picked up his hand and put it on his cheek to rub it lightly, the anger in Song Ciyou's heart ran out all of a sudden.He gritted his teeth and swore like a curse, "I won't let anyone bully you again."
Du Ruosheng squeezed his hand and said silently in his heart, "I believe you."
The provincial examination is a national examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites, also known as Li Wei.It was held in the second year of the township examination, that is, in the years of Chou, Chen, Wei and Xu.At that time, all the candidates from all over the country will take the imperial examination in the future, and the examination period will be in February in spring, so it is also called Chunwei.Chunwei is also divided into three sessions, held on the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth day of February respectively.
Many candidates began to rush to the capital one after another after the results of the provincial examination were released.Song Ciyou was in the south, and after the Lu Ming Banquet, he had to pack up and go to the capital. This trip would take the second half of the year, so he was not at ease that Du Ruosheng was at home.
So, he decided to take Du Ruosheng with him. This is an imperial examination road that two people worked hard together. Du Ruosheng is not an inner house girl, so he shouldn't be trapped in this yard.Du Ruosheng's eyes lit up when he learned that Song Ciyou had invited him to Beijing for the exam. He heard from his grandfather that going to Beijing for the exam was very hard work.There are also people who contracted a cold on the road and had no money to seek medical treatment, and died of illness.There were even avalanches on some roads, and they were often buried in the snow... Song Ciyou was still young, he needed to be taken care of by himself, and he was able to study with him along the way, and the feeling of being needed made Du Ruosheng's heart swell.
The two packed up, said goodbye to their families and embarked on a journey. This year, most of the candidates who went to Beijing for the exam will not have the opportunity to celebrate the New Year at home.Along the way, Song Ciyou met many Juren who were going to Beijing for the exam, and he would introduce his husband to the students generously. After getting in touch with them, everyone was impressed by Du Ruosheng's talents.
It's much safer if you go together, at least when you can't catch up with the station, a dozen or so people are nested in the ruined temple and don't have to worry about big bugs breaking in.After walking for about two months, the weather became colder and colder. It was snowing too thickly and it was difficult for the carriage to move forward. Unfortunately, Song Ciyou got a cold. These days, the wind and cold can kill people.
When the wind and snow started, the road was difficult.
The cold wind mixed with snowflakes penetrates everywhere, like holding a sharp blade, slashing across people's faces one by one.The carriage couldn't go, so the students went on foot, and the sick Song Ciyou was left behind by the companions. In order to catch up with the exam, they didn't dare to delay.
Du Ruosheng rushed into the Mangman University with Song Ciyou on his back. Song Ciyou didn't want to, and he could wait three years to take the exam again. It would be bad for Du Ruosheng to be exhausted by heavy books.
Du Ruosheng's stubborn temper brought up Song Ciyou to go on the road. Song Ciyou, who was so dizzy from fever, lay on Du Ruosheng's back. He thought that he would never do anything to sorry Du Ruosheng in his life.Song Ciyou carried it for a while and Du Ruosheng was drenched in sweat. Song Ciyou was afraid that he would get sick too, so he took off his coat and wrapped him up, found a broken door, and lay on it with the book, while Du Ruosheng dragged him away.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and Song Ciyou, who was lying on the door panel, froze several times. He didn't know if he could make it to the capital alive.Du Ruosheng walked on the snowy road for several days. When walking, her feet were so hot that she didn't feel anything. Only when she stopped would she feel her feet were cold and painful.
The two suffered from frostbite in a few places, especially the feet and ears.Along the way, his purse became more and more flat. Because of Song Ciyou's illness, he spent a lot of money renting a car, and it was snowing heavily, Song Ciyou wanted to give up several times. It was Du Ruosheng who gritted his teeth firmly and dragged him to the town. Find a doctor.
After staying in the hospital for five days, they finally recovered from the typhoid fever, and the two moved forward quickly. Fortunately, they didn't encounter an avalanche. The weather was cold, and the frail Juren couldn't hold on. If it weren't for Du Ruosheng, he Probably also died in this snow field.
This way of rushing to the test is also a kind of provincial test screening.Those who are not strong enough to endure this hardship will naturally not be able to reach the capital, and those who are weak will also be eliminated.The road for the children of poor families to catch up with the exam is difficult, and it is not easy to pass the exam. They know the hardships of the low-level people, know how to benefit the people, and have a certain amount of knowledge... But even so, the current court holds great power in their hands Most people are still aristocratic families, and there are very few people from poor families, and there are almost no people who can speak for the common people.
It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family. Many students from a poor family knew it before they went to the capital, but what can they do if they know it?Han Chuang has studied hard for many years, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he has to work hard.At the end of December, Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng finally got closer and closer to the capital. If they stood on a high place, they could vaguely see the continuous palaces in the center of the capital.
This way, they walked from the end of August to the end of December, and they walked for four full months.Sure enough, the capital city is different from the small county where he lives, showing the prosperity and wealth of the imperial capital everywhere.Du Ruosheng looked at the gate of the city. When he was a child, his grandfather was a first-rank official, and his home was in this prosperous capital city.
After entering the city gate, because the imperial examinations were very lively in the capital, the inns were full, so the two found a farmhouse to rent and concentrated on studying. Apart from accompanying him to study, Du Ruosheng also cooked and washed for him by himself. Like ordinary couples.
The provincial examination is held by the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province. There are three sessions in total, each session lasts three days, which means you have to stay in the Gongyuan for nine days.The first test is the classics, the second test is the double test, and the third test is three times.Since the provincial examination is a higher-level examination, the number of examiners is double that of the rural examination.Most of the examiners, co-examiners, and promotion officials are the Six Books of History and Hanlin Bachelors.The official who is in charge of the examination is called the seat master or the seat teacher.The candidates who passed the examination are called Gongshi, and the No.1 candidates are called Huiyuan.
The imperial examination is not only the main way for the imperial court to select officials, but also the main way for the princes to increase their influence. Song Ciyou worked hard to prepare for the exam. Qinghe County is remote and has limited resources. , especially there are many talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but Song Ciyou is sure to win the yuan for a while, but he has no intention of being so prominent.
He told Du Ruosheng his idea, and Du Ruosheng agreed without thinking. The current emperor is old, the prince has no virtue, and several princes are fighting to the death. It is not suitable to be involved in the whirlpool at this time.
Du Ruosheng knows the dangers of the officialdom best. Back then, his grandfather was demoted because the emperor insisted on abolishing the first son of the Empress Yuan, and made his favorite concubine, Xiao Shizi, the crown prince. Made a mistake and sent it back to the place of origin.
The ninth day of the exam passed by in a hurry. Song Ciyou, who had taken numerous major and minor exams, was in a good mood. He took Du Ruosheng for a walk around the capital when the results were not released.There is a large lake at the foot of the Huangjue Temple outside the capital, and Du Ruosheng likes it very much. The two of them were fishing by the lake one day, and a commoner man came over.
Du Ruosheng stood up abruptly, blocking Song Ciyou behind him, and after saluting, he said to the man in sign language, "Hi Your Highness!"
The man was taken aback when he saw his sign language, "What's wrong with you? Why can't you speak with your throat?"
Seeing that this person was too close to Du Ruosheng, Song Ciyou immediately took Du Ruosheng behind him and looked badly, "Who are you? Stay away from my husband."
☆, emperor close minister
Hearing this, the man didn't give Song Ciyou a single look, but ignored him and walked towards Du Ruosheng, "Ah Sheng, what's wrong with your voice." He wanted to reach out to touch Du Ruosheng, but Song Ciyou pushed him away in a hurry , the man didn't expect Song Ciyou to make a move, and fell into the lake with a splash.
Du Ruosheng was anxious, pushed away Song Ciyou and stretched out his hand to pull him up, his anxiety did not seem to be fake, Song Ciyou felt as sour as a crushed lemon in his heart, he had never seen Du Ruosheng so anxious.But it was impossible for him to let Du Ruosheng into the water, so he was reluctant to jump down and lift up the person who was scratched by the dog.
The man spat out water, pointed at Song Ciyou, "Shuzi, dare you, it's simply unreasonable."
Song Ciyou rolled his eyes, "You start with my husband first."
That angry half-dead rushed forward and wanted to beat Song Ciyou, why did Song Ciyou stand up and let him beat him, the two of them wrestled together, Song Ciyou was furious, and as soon as this person appeared, Du Ruosheng let go of the hands they were holding together , this person is Du Ruosheng's acquaintance at first glance, maybe he will snatch Du Ruosheng away.
And that man was also half-dead with anger, what happened to his white and tender companion back then, his voice became hoarse, and he was married to a man, this man looked like a sly, he was not a good person.
Du Ruosheng saw that although the two of them tried their best, they didn't kill them, so they didn't bother them any more, since it wasn't appropriate to help anyone anyway.
The two were tired from beating, and they collapsed there panting like dead pigs. They glared at each other and wanted to seek comfort from Du Ruosheng.
Du Ruosheng pulled the man up, and then stretched out his hand to Song Ciyou. Song Ciyou snorted coldly, turned his head and got up on his own, feeling extremely aggrieved, why didn't he pull him first, which shows that he is not as important as that person.
Du Ruosheng didn't notice Song Ciyou's abnormality, but chatted with that person. Song Ciyou was not a shameless person, so he didn't bother him, but found a remote place to fish. Didn't catch it.
It was only then that Du Ruosheng noticed Song Ciyou's abnormality. He smiled apologetically at the man, not seeing Song Ciyou slapping the water with a fishing rod, walked over, took Song Ciyou's hand, and wrote a word "Tai" on the palm of his hand, Song Ciyou You instantly understood that the person who appeared at the foot of Huangjue Temple was the abolished prince Yan Qingyang.
Song Ciyou recited poems silently in his heart: A dragon swims in shallow water and is attacked by shrimps, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, a successful cat is worse than a tiger, and a phoenix with hairless hair is not as good as a chicken.
Du Ruosheng turned his head to apologize to the deposed prince, and explained in sign language.On weekdays, when Du Ruosheng seldom used sign language, most of the time he knew what he wanted to say with just one look at Song Ciyou. There was a pen and paper at home, and he would write down some complicated words. This was the first time he saw Du Ruosheng use sign language. I don't know if Yan Qingyang can understand it, but he can't anyway.
Yan Qingyang understood, and felt so guilty that he couldn't be more guilty. Although Song Ciyou couldn't understand him, he could also see that his guilt was real. Now he was trapped in Huangjue Temple, his mother had passed away, his grandfather was exiled, and his mentor and friend had died. Being swept away, he didn't know if he was grieving for himself or for Old Man Du.
Saying goodbye to Yan Qingyang, and returning home, Song Ciyou pressed Du Ruosheng onto the bed, and pressed him about his relationship with the deposed prince. His sour tone almost drowned Du Ruosheng, and finally caused him to fall into his arms out of breath. Only then did Du Ruosheng explain clearly that he was only ten years old when the accident happened, so how could he have feelings for the deposed prince beyond the normal relationship.Song Ciyou thinks about it too, even if Du Ruosheng likes that waste prince, he will occupy Du Ruosheng and won't give them a chance.
The matter of abolishing the prince was forgotten, and the results came out five days later. Song Ciyou won the No. 9 tribute, and he can participate in the palace examination.
Song Ciyou entered the palace with everyone and was taken to the Palace of Preservation. During the palace examination, in order to take care of the candidates, the emperor would not appear in person.After entering the Palace of Preservation, candidates go through roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute and other etiquette, and then issue policy questions, formulate policy questions, use a time affairs policy, and the length of the question is two to three hundred characters, and they ask about one or two things.
The topic of the exam is current affairs questions. Regarding the major events that happened in the court this year, Song Ciyou thought over and over again, and couldn't help but write [-] words eloquently. , the emperor was old and obsessed with alchemy, and his spirit was not good, so he dismissed him after asking a few casual questions.
Song Ciyou returned to the small courtyard he rented, and told Du Ruosheng about the progress of the palace examination, and the two waited at home for the results to be announced.
When the grades came out, Song Ciyou was No.3 in the Second A, which was neither good nor bad among the students, and the No.6 grade was not bad.
Because there are only one and three candidates in the palace examination, they will be appointed immediately.The rest of the second- and third-class Jinshi go through the "Court Examination", and after comprehensive examination results before and after, the Imperial Academy is selected as the Shujishi, commonly known as the Hanlin.The rest were distributed to various ministries to serve as chiefs, or to serve as county magistrates in other places. Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng discussed that they intend to go to a local county magistrate to avoid the change of the throne.
However, things didn't go so smoothly.
Just when Song Ciyou was preparing for the imperial examination, people from the prime minister's mansion came to propose marriage. The person who proposed marriage was the third lady from the previous life. Song Ciyou also inquired about it. The prime minister's mansion raised many such concubines for marriage. Concubine Xiao Gui, who was very favored by the dynasty, was also born in the prime minister's residence.
Du Ruosheng squinted at Song Ciyou playfully with a smile in his eyes, he would solve the trouble he caused by himself, and he would not help.
Song Ci looked at him sadly. He didn't know where the rotten peach blossoms came from, so he declined the marriage as a manly man, and there was no movement in the prime minister's mansion.In a few days, I heard that the third lady of the prime minister's mansion and Tan Hualang had married this time, and the son-in-laws under the list were all unmarried and school-age students. Those who brought their husbands to Beijing for the exam like Song Ciyou almost had no chance.
Without a strong backer, he probably wouldn't stay in the capital for the imperial examination. As for where to be assigned to the county, it depends on luck, but Song Ciyou really hopes to assign himself to a barren place, he has a lot of money The program improves local agricultural administration.
While Song Ciyou was waiting for the imperial examination, a major event happened in the imperial court. The son of the emperor, Zhongshu Sheren, lost his manners with the imperial court, offended the prince and was demoted. This person was the number one scholar three years ago. Zhi Zhongshu Sheren, as the closest confidant of the emperor, is in charge of imperial edicts and imperial palace finances, and is responsible for holding imperial edicts, making policy decisions, and assisting the emperor.
And this person is married to the cousin of the Seventh Prince's concubine, and has repeatedly spoken good things about the Seventh Prince to the Emperor. Deceiving the emperor and arousing the suspicion of the emperor led to his relegation, and the seventh prince was implicated and imprisoned for a year.
As soon as this incident happened, the emperor wanted to choose one of the new subjects as his close minister, and all the families began to operate in an instant.Zhongshusheren is the chief secretary of the emperor. From the sixth rank, he is one level higher than the county magistrate. Although the rank is not very high, but because he has the right to handle edicts, participate in secrets, and review memorials, he has a lot of power. Both the prince and the prince attached great importance to this position, and immediately the outstanding students, especially the top ten, became the favorites, but the emperor did not wait for the princes to have contact with the new scholars, and summoned the top twenty students the next day.
The students also know that this is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. Under normal circumstances, those who take part in the imperial examinations and are favored by the emperor are trained in the Imperial Academy for one year and then transferred to Zhongshu Sheren as confidantes. nourish.
The topic of the imperial examination is "Hua Sangtian", which is only three characters, and there are many articles in it. Song Ciyou was born in a farming family, and he has a lot of insight into this, and he does not hide his clumsiness. He wrote it in a smooth manner, and the emperor walked around among the students Go, it made the students terrified, and a few people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Song Ciyou has a habit, he easily sinks in when doing things, at home, he sinks in to study, and he can't hear the four cubs wailing next door. So he didn't find the emperor standing beside him for a long time.
The students handed in satisfactory answers, and after the Holy Majesty read them, Song Ciyou was hand-picked as the new Zhongshu Scheeren, who would start work three days later.
Killing a dark horse caught all the princes by surprise, but seeing the high-ranking god king's interested eyes immediately calmed down, the seven princes were imprisoned for a year, and already lost the chance with the throne, the prince was overjoyed. To pave the way, although he intends to let Tanhualang, the prime minister's son-in-law, become the new Zhongshu Sheren, but the prime minister's house is his natal family but has a lot of power, so his father doesn't want him to continue to grow.
Song Ciyou just felt that he didn't know what kind of shit he stepped on. Zhongshu Sheren, it sounds nice, but he has no power, no power and no backer to occupy that external place. The other companies who are staring at this position are really willing ?Moreover, companions are like companions to tigers. Today, the holy young man has been on the throne for more than forty years. He sees everything clearly. Isn't he looking for death if he does a little trick?
After returning home, Song Ciyou was covered in cold sweat, Du Ruosheng gently pressed his shoulder, Song Ciyou whispered about the affairs of the court, and said that he was appointed as Zhongshu Sheren.
Du Ruosheng saw Song Ciyou's worry, and he also frowned and thought about it. After a while, his brows relaxed, he took Song Ciyou's hand, and slowly wrote the words "Emperor's close minister" in his palm.
Song Ciyou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, yes, the emperor is a close minister, as long as he serves the emperor well, as for who will be the emperor in the future, it's up to him.
Song Ciyou was enlightened all of a sudden, and felt that Du Ruosheng was really very witty and intelligent. Du Ruosheng smiled wryly. He knew it from the fact that his grandfather was reprimanded. Today, His Majesty has a strong desire to control and is very fond of the throne. Whether it is the abolished prince, the current prince or other princes, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all people who have ambitions for their own throne.So what Song Ciyou has to do is to be loyal to His Majesty only.
Three days later, Song Ciyou wore a new purple official uniform and went to the Hall of Diligence to report. The eunuch who greeted him smiled very familiarly, "Mr. Song." Wen An, "Eunuch Zhou is a public security officer. He is an official at the beginning of his junior year. He doesn't understand many things. I hope that Eunuch Zhou can give us some pointers."
His respectful attitude put Eunuch Zhou in a good mood, "It's all for His Majesty, as it should be."
When they were taken to the Hall of Diligence, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Song Ciyou didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly waiting for the emperor to finish the review.
"Minister obeys the order." Song Ciyou should sit down and start to divide the chapters according to the priority. He neither made a fuss nor talked too much, and the whole hall was very quiet.
Zhongshu Sheren is the chief secretary of the emperor, and he probably knows what the secretary does. Song Ciyou quickly finished tidying up. Seeing that His Majesty's teacup was empty, he quietly picked up the teapot and poured tea, then sat quietly by the side, leisurely Nothing happened, so he picked up the history book that was originally on the desk and read it.
After all, Song Ciyou stayed in the modern world for 50 years in the last world, and his reverence and fear for the emperor was not so strong in his bones, and he didn't do anything wrong, so he didn't have anything to worry about.
When the emperor finished approving the memorial and looked up, he saw today's newly appointed Zhongshu Sheren reading and recording there. He was a little more comfortable than the emperor, and suddenly he couldn't see it. He coughed twice. I blinked my eyes before I realized it. I didn't know what to say for a moment, long live your majesty, long live your majesty, or my emperor, long live, long live?
The emperor is over sixty years old, who is not a good person in front of him these years, the first time he saw Song Ciyou from Zhongshushe, who was like a goose, he was a little suspicious of his vision, so that in the future he would always feel that Song Ciyou Worry is not very smart. "Song Zhongshu?"
"The minister is here." Song Ciyou responded quickly.
The emperor sighed, the clever one is so smart, but the stupid one is too blind to see, didn't you see that he finished approving the memorial?He packed it up and returned it to the ministers in a hurry.
☆, won the heart of the emperor
The emperor had no choice but to mention something, and Song Ciyou hurriedly cleared it up. This is the shortcoming of not entering the Imperial Academy, but he is more willing to come by himself than other people's courtiers.
In this way, Song Ciyou's work life officially began. Although the immediate boss is His Majesty, there is nothing wrong with him doing more and talking less.
There were few memorials this day, and the emperor finished reviewing them early. Song Ciyou immediately packed up the memorials and took them out to the cabinet. Just a few ministers came in to discuss. Minister, the emperor frowned and asked, "Song Zhongshu, what do you think of your son?"
Song Ciyou shook his head, "I don't have children, I won't have children in the future, and it doesn't matter if I don't have any heirs. I just want my husband to be safe." , He does not necessarily agree to let him give birth.And he was so trusted by the emperor because he had no heirs.
The emperor was amused by him, heirs are the most important thing in the world today, how can there be no heirs. "Oh, my little fifteen is 14 years old this year, and she has a beautiful face, how about I give you a marriage?"
Song Ciyou immediately fell to his knees, "I don't want to!"
The emperor was originally joking, but when he saw Song Ciyou's refusal so flatly, he felt upset, "But my princess is not good enough for you?"
"The emperor made amends, and the princess is fine. At the beginning, the subject has a husband, and the law of the court, this righteous husband cannot be separated." Song Ci fell on the ground with a firm attitude.
"Then what if I say that fifteen can be sidelined?" The emperor increased the weight.
"I don't want to!" Song Ciyou knelt on the ground with a firm voice.
The emperor's face was very gloomy, he hated his courtiers' rebellion against him again and again, the emperor, who was always not happy, dropped his glass directly.
"Crack!" Song Ciyou looked at the broken teacup right in front of his feet, trembling uncontrollably. It was the first time he felt the emperor's anger, and when he thought of implicating Du Ruosheng and his family, he immediately became afraid .
"I'm asking you for the last time, are you willing or not?" The emperor's voice was tinged with ice.
Song Ciyou looked at the jade pendant that Du Ruosheng hung on the official uniform, closed his eyes and said, "I don't want to, please make amends, Your Majesty."
Seeing him like that, the emperor was not afraid, but why didn't he agree?The benefits of marrying a princess are not insignificant, and there is no requirement in this dynasty that the son-in-law should not interfere in politics. Shouldn't ordinary people kneel down and give thanks?
"Say, why?" If you can't tell how ugly you are today, Yinmao will kill him.
Song Ciyou heard that His Majesty's tone was a little relaxed, and decided to take a gamble, "I don't want to be unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous."
One sentence brought the emperor's anger up again, "The princess who marries me is disloyal, filial, benevolent and unrighteous?"
Song Ciyou said calmly, "In the country, the holy ancestor founded the country, and the empress Shengxiao accompanied him all the way. The holy ancestor was grateful for the empress Shengxiao, and established the national law, from the emperor to the common people. To divorce a wife, if a side wife is established, the husband's consent is required. If the minister violates it, it is disloyal to the country.
Yu's family, when the minister was not well-known, his family was poor, and he had no money to join the poetry club, which was convenient for gambling in the gambling shop. He owed 50 taels of silver, and the gambling shop called for debts. I, my husband, offering my ministers to study, is like creating a kindness. My grandfather and father have taught me many times that my husband's kindness to my ministers is as important as a mountain, and I should not insult him. If my ministers violate it, it is unfilial.
The minister did not learn from a famous teacher. He studied at home since he was a child. All his talents and learning were taught by Fulang. The minister, the minister's talent is worthy of the list, he is the minister's teacher, and he who betrays the teacher is not benevolent.
The husband of the minister, married himself to the minister, and never disliked the poverty of the minister's family. Even if the minister was studying and worried about the money in the family, he used cheap dowry to subsidize the minister many times. Later, he went to Beijing to take the exam. Infected with the wind and cold, he was about to give up this Enke. After three years of fighting, the husband of the minister gritted his teeth abruptly. Brother Chen, if you take responsibility for it, it is unrighteous.Please Your Majesty. "
