Master Shen's Journey Through Time

Chapter 38 Birthday Banquet

It has been June since I came back from Jiangnan (we came back from playing all the way).

Huangfeng left Menglin Academy and headed south. Before leaving, he taught me to play a flute and gave me a small jade piccolo, about the size of a woman's middle finger.

It can be hung around the neck or tied around the waist at ordinary times. The carving is very exquisite and the sound quality is very moving. It made me sigh again and again for the exquisite memory of the ancients.

First, I went into the palace and handed over the document that Master asked me to hand over to the emperor. The emperor is discussing the first imperial examination system these days, so I helped to contribute some opinions.

According to the method I submitted before, the emperor divided the imperial examination system into three levels. The first level is the preliminary examination at the county level, which is similar to the entry from elementary school to junior high school. The mid-term examination of the county examination is similar to the high school entrance examination. The examination is a scholar, and the examination is held every two years; the third is the Beijing examination in the capital.The admission rate for each exam is 20%, and as long as you pass the exam, you can be exempted from tax, and you can see officials without kneeling if you pass the exam. .After the Beijing Examination, there will be another Palace Examination, where the No. [-] Scholar, Tanhua and Second Place will be selected.

This is an imperial examination system that integrates the examination system based on my ancient imperial examination system in time and space. The content is also very rich, similar to the current college entrance examination model.It's just that Wu's status is much higher.

And this time when I returned to Beijing, it happened to be the emperor's first preliminary test, and some problems were reported from various places, so I stayed by the emperor's side for two days to solve his problems.

During the period, he also consulted me with some other questions, and I tried to keep my mouth shut. I just proposed the idea of ​​tax reform to the emperor and helped him perfect his original tax reform plan. Of course, this is not in a hurry to implement.

After the emperor let me out of the palace, we got together again.

Because during this period of time we found a way to break through the bottleneck of "Wangqinglou".

That is the carrier pigeon and the delivery.

This also starts with a hermit I met during the birthday celebration.

The hermit was introduced to me by Huang Feng. The hermit has no other skills, but he is good at training birds, including pigeons, wild geese and even eagles.

And he wasn't really a hermit at first, but because he was an aristocrat in the previous dynasty, the Tianlong dynasty fell into trouble when the dynasty was established, so Yuqing and I exchanged glances and hit it off right away.

Of course, it is impossible for pigeons to fly to the palace to find me. They can only fly to the lottery dealer in Baihuayuan in the suburbs, and some of them will fly to Xiatang’s village in the suburbs. I deliver messages.

It is relatively simple to pass it on, it is passed on as everyone thinks.

In July, the first examination was successfully held in all counties across the country, and celebrities from all over the country wrote letters praising the imperial examination system, and the emperor was very happy.

At the same time, July is still my birthday, but it is not a day for rest and bathing, and there is no such thing as a birthday holiday.

So everyone went into the palace to congratulate me on my birthday.

Master Liu specially adjusted the shift for me. In fact, when I came back from Jiangnan, the emperor didn't let me record the shifts according to the order of the shift. Instead, he would pass on me when there was anything that needed me. Usually, when it didn't matter, it was all Master Liu and Master Liu. Mr. Zhang's work (sometimes there will be small officials to record.)

Since Zhang Lv learned that the imperial examination system was my proposal, his attitude towards me can be called a 180-degree change.

So if I have the title of servant of the secret secretary, if I don't do the work of the servant of the secret secretary every day, I just turn a blind eye.

Liuyun Palace was very lively on the birthday.

Yuqing came as soon as the court was over, brought me all kinds of birthday presents, and even combed my hair herself (because I just got up).

He put on the jade buckle (a kind of hair ornament) made of onyx that he had just given me.

After combing our hair, we both blushed, "May I be able to comb Yun Shu's hair all my life, from black hair to gray hair."

Then put on the clothes my mother specially made, white silk and satin embroidered with red cherries.

The shoes were given by Shen Lan, tortoiseshell red silk shoes.

For breakfast, I ordered longevity noodles from the kitchen. Yuqing, Qingyuan, Shuyan and Qingxing accompanied me to eat some.

Everyone in Liuyun Palace just finished congratulating me on my birthday when Fengyi Palace summoned me.

So Yuqing accompanied me to work for an hour from the Queen Mother and received the Queen Mother's reward.

He sat with the queen for another hour and received the queen's reward.

Just after leaving the queen's place and preparing to go back for lunch, the news of the meal came from the emperor.

Because I was the only one passed on, Yuqing reluctantly went back to Fengyi Palace to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

I met Xiao Yunian on the aisle outside Qianqing Palace.

It was probably a chance encounter, he didn't expect it, I still remembered the gift he sent me when I was knighted last time, so I was polite.

To my surprise, he knew that today was my birthday, so he specially invited me to Xi Zetang for a discussion after lunch.

Xi Zetang is the place where the prince goes to school, usually in the morning for culture classes, and in the afternoon for martial arts and free time.

Xiao Yunian and Xiao Yunian are not young, but they have never been canonized, nor have they left the palace to build a mansion.

So it is normal for him to invite me to Xize Hall as an academic discussion.

When his pale and thin face revealed an expression of "If you reject me, I will die of grief", I had to agree, but the condition was that I could only sit for half an hour, and I had other things to do in the afternoon.

When we arrived at Qianqing Palace, the emperor hadn't arrived yet, so we waited for him for about a quarter of an hour.

The emperor's face was full of red light recently because of the smooth implementation of the imperial examination system.

Joyful, the meal went smoothly, and he also received many rewards.

After eating the emperor, I will take a lunch break. During this period, I informed Fu Yan and Ming Tan that they have a banquet in Liuyun Palace tonight, and I invited them to attend.

Fu Yan said that he would stop messing around with us young people.In fact, we already knew that Fu Yan, as the general manager, would definitely not participate.

Ming Tan said that she would go and bring Yuzun with her.Yuzun is also the eldest maid by the emperor's side, she is like a sister to Mingtan, she is the same age as me, she is a very lively girl.

After hearing this, Ying Yan still hesitated, but Ming Tan talked to him, and he agreed to go.

After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. In the hearts of the ancients with a strong sense of class, I am the master. How can their servants attend the master's birthday party.

The status of an eunuch is not as good as that of a court lady. Ming Tan and Yu Zun are considered half-masters, so it’s okay to go to banquets and play with the master, but he is an eunuch, so he should be more cautious.

When I left Qianqing Palace, I met Xiao Yunian who was waiting for me.

He said before that he would send someone to pick me up, but he didn't expect it to be himself.

Xiao Yunian's behavior made me more and more confused. Even though I knew that he had a deep scheming heart, being with him would naturally give me a feeling of spring breeze.

Probably because he is very approachable.

We chatted and laughed happily along the way, and it could be seen that Xiao Yunian was very knowledgeable.

In a pleasant atmosphere, we arrived at Xize Hall, which was in chaos.

Although the emperor has only two princes, and both of them have reached the age where they only need to take half a day of culture class every day, there are still quite a few brats in Xizetang.

First of all, there are four brothers Xiao Yuxuan, King Yi has many children, there are nine boys in total, three of them died, and now there are six left.

Born by two concubines, born by three concubines, and born by two concubines.

There are four people who are upright to study age.

In addition, each vassal king needs to leave a proton in the capital, and the Tianlong Dynasty has just been established. These protons are all directly related to the emperor, either younger brothers or nephews.

Everyone's status is not low, and they are all excellent, so Xi Zetang is simply the world of brats.

Originally, Xiao Yunian and I were just playing chess at Pian Highness, chatting about life, discussing some issues, but Xiao Yuxuan somehow knew that I was coming, so he led a bunch of brats to come to me.

All kinds of homework that I can't do come to me to answer.

This problem is still rooted in Jiangnan. Xiao Yuxuan is a little afraid of Xiao Yuqing, so he will come to me if he has any questions. I uphold the occupational disease of educating future generations, and "teach me all I have" every time.

So I became the head of the child once...

Under Yuxuan's publicity, my reputation was passed down among these noble children one by one. Of course, I didn't let Yuxuan and the others say what they said.

Ever since, the half-hour elegant talk did not end until Yuqing came to find me.

Xiao Yunian also expressed helplessness about this.

Yuqing was very angry and scolded the children. Those children were quite afraid of him, so they were all scolded obediently. As soon as Yuqing turned around, she made faces at me.

Yuqing also expressed anger at the fact that I dared to follow Xiao Yunian, and warned me severely that the way of punishment is to kiss me until I suffocate...
