[Comprehensive Qiong Yao+Red Mansion] History is turning a corner

Lin Ruiyang has never been so pleasantly surprised as today, he met the noble person in his life again.

When I was young and helpless, I met the emperor when I was the most desperate. I liked his talent and sponsored him. I met again three years later and was saved by the other party. I wanted to get a good rank in the imperial examination to repay the other party's appreciation. When I was in love with Zhien, I found that the man had already been awarded the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he was sitting on the world.

Who would have such an adventure?

Er Rongan, the governor of Liangjiang back then, was the examiner for the first imperial examination when the new emperor ascended the throne. He must be a confidant in his confidant.

Feeling that he might be reused by the other party like Er Rongan in the future and do his part for him, regardless of his official position, Lin Ruiyang felt an indescribable joy and excitement.

The first batch of disciples of the Son of Heaven, everyone knows the meaning of this.

The emperor gave him an upper couplet, which was difficult and very wonderful. Lin Ruiyang couldn't help thinking about the second couplet when he should have been studying hard before the palace examination.

Soon it was the day of the palace examination, just after dawn, the tributes and the officials who participated in the palace examination had already arrived in front of the palace.

As Huiyuan, Lin Ruiyang stood in front of the students, facing the closed gate of the Dahong Palace, his heartbeat gradually accelerated. Whether he could be proud of his horseshoe and see all four or nine cities in one day depends on today.

In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, 240 three low tables have already been set up, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones and a piece of white paper on them.

As soon as the students stood in front of their seats, they heard a shrill voice: "The emperor is here—"

Not only the emperor came, but also more than a dozen important ministers from the six ministries, they all came to this imperial examination to pick young candidates.

After Yongjue ascended the throne, he purged a large number of Qianlong's loyal forces in the harem on the grounds of "stolen jade seals". Focus on examining their expertise.

The Ministry of Officials must have the basic information of officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Households must not be bad at arithmetic, and the taxation situation in all parts of the country must also be mastered. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment must memorize the laws of the Qing Dynasty. It is impossible for a person to only recite poems and compose odes, especially in the Ministry of War. Even if he has never been a soldier and fought in a war, he must at least master theoretical knowledge proficiently.

As a result, many guys who only understand stereotyped essays and have no humility to learn have packed up their bags and left. (For example: Jia Zheng, who was demoted from the fifth-rank Ministry of Industry, Wailang, to the seventh-rank ceremony official.)

There are many vacancies in the Six Departments, some are selected from the Imperial Academy, and the other part depends on how many talents can be selected in this palace examination that suit the wishes of the ministers of each department ╮(╯_╰)╭From Debao, E Rongan, to A It can be seen from the movements of Gui and Ali Gun who stare at people with round eyes.

"Slaves/subjects/students refer to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Everyone knelt down numbly, with their foreheads touching the cold floor tiles. These thousands of students who walked across the single-plank bridge couldn't restrain the excitement in their hearts, and their palms were sweating delicately.

"Exemption, peace." Yong Jue sat on the dragon chair, swept them with joyful eyes, paused on Lin Ruiyang and Wang Erlie, and said, "No one asked me for ten years, and I became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Students, all the way It's not easy, as the first batch of tribute students after I ascended the throne, I hope that all of you will become the pillars of our Qing Dynasty, so please work hard."

roll call, unroll, praise, salute.

Liu Shun's high-pitched voice sounded: "The palace examination has begun."

Everyone sat down hurriedly, and opened up the test questions about strategy theory, which were about water conservancy and agriculture in the north and south. Yong Jue originally wanted to ask about military strategy, but then he thought about it, people who understand soldiers more often participate in martial arts, so they changed it.

There is only one hour, and the time is very tight. People who write slowly don't even have the time to start drafting.

Yong Jue was not idle either. From time to time, he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at this and that, which only made those over-excited candidates sweat profusely and almost wet the papers.

Time passed quickly. In the eyes of the candidates, it was time to hand in the papers in a short while.

Those who barely finished writing were secretly thankful, and prayed that their rankings would not be too bad, while those who hadn't finished writing looked dazed, crumbling, and looked like they had been severely hit.

When striding towards the dragon chair, Yong Jue saw Lin Ruiyang relaxing his shoulders and smiling confidently.

As soon as there were more people who checked the papers, the rankings would come out very quickly. Except for the top ten best papers that needed to be read by the emperor, the list of the second and third best papers had already been determined and submitted.

Yong Jue flipped through the pages and asked, "What do you guys think?"

E Rong'an, the chief examiner, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think these ten papers are neatly written, concise in language, and neither spread nor branched. They are all excellent works. I dare not specialize in them, so I invite the Emperor to read them and decide the ranking."

"Tell me what you think is good." Yong Jue asked Debao.

"The slave thinks that Lin Ruiyang and Wang Erlie are the best candidates in this palace examination, and the other candidates are slightly inferior." Debao replied, "But Lin Ruiyang's views are novel and unique, which is refreshing."

Debao not only knows the men of Aixinjueluo's family, but also Yongjue.

The emperor would promote E Bi as a first-class prince for a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, which shows that he still values ​​auspicious omens at certain times. For example, the top ten are still undecided. Others, I am afraid that Lin Ruiyang, who has won the titles of Jieyuan and Huiyuan, has the best chance of being selected.

In the early years of Yanchang, the leader of the new department, the young talent, the three yuan and the first, the emperor may like it.

"Ah Gui, water conservancy, agriculture and mulberry are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, please tell me."

Ah Gui replied: "The slave has the same opinion as Mr. Debao, but the slave thinks that the examinee Bi Yuan has a deeper understanding of farming."

After counting a few more people, Yong Jue put down the paper and tapped on the case.

Zhang Shuxun is the best among these people, but his papers are a bit empty, not as good as Bi Yuan, Wang Erlie wrote in block letters, his writing is clear, steady and steady, progressing slowly, with substance in his words, he is a rare talent.

but……

Yong Jue picked up one of them, and Lin Ruiyang was the one who caught his heart the most. He used novel words, and his sentences contained deep meaning. He also combined several points of view and put forward a new view. You can watch the memorial.

After a while, he made a decision: "I see it this way. My lords will ask a few questions on the spot and test them. Among the ten people, I will choose the best one. If there are others who have answered well, it will be fine to mention a few rankings."

Yong Jue said loudly: "Students from all over the world, you have passed five passes and defeated six generals, and now you are in this hall. I believe that all of you are well-read and knowledgeable. However, you have written a good handwriting. , do splendid articles, but may not be able to be a good official of Qingtian Parents and benefit the people of one side, being an official is different from being a scholar."

"So, I decided to ask you a few more questions, just answer the ones you know, and don't worry about anything else, understand?"

Everyone replied in unison: "Students understand."

Yong Jue came up and asked a difficult question, what are the crops grown in various parts of the Qing Dynasty?

The hall became very quiet, and everyone understood what the emperor said just now. It was to test whether they could be good officials who cared about the people.

Lin Ruiyang took a step forward and answered clearly, that's right.

Yong Jue nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, the six ministers also asked a lot of questions related to the functions of the headquarters, such as judging cases, art of war, water conservancy, farming, and river management. Students who only read sage books.

Some people are very reconciled, but they can't find a reason to refute, so they can only stare and watch others show off.

Gradually, the winners and losers have been decided. Lin Ruiyang, Wang Erlie, and Bi Yuan are already the top ones, and the second ones are said to be Qin Wei, a Suzhou examinee who won the praise of everyone on the issue of river control.

For the second-to-last question, regarding the sea ban, Wang Erlie was slightly better, and Bi Yuan took the third place.

For the last question, Yong Jue looked at Wang Erlie, whose fingers were trembling slightly, and Lin Ruiyang, who clenched his fists, smiled, and said: "The last time I saw you two in the Zhuangyuan Building, I knew there would be today's scene, you two People are all outstanding, no matter which one is the number one scholar, it is worth it, but there is always a winner, in my opinion, let's compare the literary talent again."

Yong Jue called several Hanlin experts who were very good at this, and they took turns to answer the questions, whoever couldn't answer would be considered a loser.

A Hanlin asked: "Wangjiang tower, Wangjiang flow, Wangjiang tower below Wangjiang flow, the river tower through the ages, the river flow through the ages."

Lin Ruiyang replied: "Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Yinyueying in Yinyuejing, Moonwell for ten thousand years, Moonying for ten thousand years."

Soon someone came up with the Shanglian: "Take Erchuan, line up eight formations, six out and seven captures, in front of Wuzhangyuan, light 39 bright lamps, and only pay three visits."

Wang Erlie answered very happily: "Take the West Shu, settle the Southern Man, reject the East and the North, and in the tent of the Chinese army, change the hexagrams of gold, wood and earth, and the water surface can be attacked with fire."

"The Jade Emperor marched, the wind knives rained arrows, the clouds, flags, thunder and drums formed an array."

Lin Ruiyang replied: "The Dragon King entertains guests, with sun lamps and moon candles, and mountain delicacies and sea wine as plates."

"Listen to the rain, stay in the rain, listen to the sound of the rain in the building, listen to the sound of the rain, listen, listen, listen."

Wang Erlie said: "Watch the tide, the tide is coming, come to the Guanchao Pavilion to watch the tide, the waves are rolling, watch, watch, watch."

Several questions in a row were answered, and the Hanlins felt a little uneasy. This time it was Ji Yun who went out in person. He pondered: "Build a small boat, row two oars, set up three or four tents, and take five or six passengers. From Qili Beach to Bali Lake, it is ten miles away from Jiujiang."

It's a wonderful digital poem, I can't think of it for a while, and everyone scratches their heads anxiously.

Wang Erlie frowned slightly, and replied: "After ten years of cold windows, I took nine boxes of books, went out of the Eighty-seven Passes, walked six or five mountains, went up to pavilions on four sides, watched water on three sides, and saw the elders more than once."

Immediately, everyone in the hall applauded.

Seeing these sour Confucians citing the scriptures and citing classics, and exporting them into a sentence, a certain literary talent can't sit still.

Then the game will be decided!

Yong Jue interjected abruptly: "Lin Ruiyang, did you come up with a pair for the Shanglian that I published in the restaurant that day?"

The emperor's meaning was obvious, if he came up with the second couplet, the champion would be Lin Ruiyang, if he couldn't, it would be Wang Erlie.

Candidates who were on the sidelines that day couldn't help but be speechless, I'm afraid the winner has already been decided.

However, Lin Ruiyang was far beyond their expectations, and smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, the students came up with the second line, please correct me."

After taking another two steps, he murmured: "Thousands of years of past events have been poured into my heart. I poured out the wine and lamented where the heroes are. Think: Han Xi building boats; Tang marked iron pillars; Song wielded jade axes; Yuan Kua leather bags. Lie Fenggong worked hard to move the mountains. All the pearl curtains and painted buildings, the volume was not as good as the evening rain and the morning clouds. The broken steles were all paid for by the smoke. Only won: a few pestles and a few bells; half a river fishing fire; two lines of autumn geese "A pillow clears the frost."

"Okay! Good literary talent!" Yong Jue didn't expect the other party to really answer, and clapped his hands happily, "I should congratulate Lin Zhuangyuan, the reputation of this three-yuan and first-ranked scholar will spread all over the country."

Lin Ruiyang kowtowed calmly: "The student thanked the emperor for his appreciation."

For some reason, Yong Jue suddenly remembered what he had said, and asked, "I remember you saying you have no words?"

"Yes, the student is young, and the elders in the family have passed away. I planned to ask the head of the academy to make the decision after the exam." Lin Ruiyang replied calmly.

"Since that's the case, it's up to me to decide on the wording."

Yong Jue really thinks about it as soon as he comes out, completely ignoring the fact that his literary talent is counted as the last in this Palace of Preserving Harmony.

He stroked his chin and thought for a while. He had forgotten all the Four Books and Five Classics that he had memorized back then, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence: "Just call Wen Qing. The number one scholar will work hard for me in the future."

It attracted the envy of everyone, no matter how good the literary talent is, it is a great honor to be bestowed by the emperor.

In the palace examination in the early years of Yanchang, Lin Ruiyang was the number one scholar, Wang Erlie was the second place, Bi Huan was Tanhua, and there were many second- and third-class Jinshi.

In the past, there was no way to boast, and now there is no limit to thinking.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

However, during the Yanchang period, the legend of "Wen has Lin Ruiyang, Wu has Hai Lancha" has just begun.

The author has something to say:

Ah Fei curled her lips and said, "Why are you so envious? In the future, Lin Xiaoshou will be able to whore the Emperor you all admire!"
