Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 275

The East Factory finally encountered another big case.

It’s still the imperial case, or the ruling and opposition parties, or the **** Luo Xiang of the East Factory Palm Seal.

Counting that when I returned to the Dongchang factory, I still handled the Li Guang case…Well, that big case was also found out by the two uncle Zhang. Their Dongchang and Guojiu really have a relationship, and every time they handle such an easy and inviting case, it is the two Guojiu who pick out the **** eunuchs and hand them over to the Dongchang for investigation.

If there weren’t for the uncles to observe the details, now the officials and the people would have forgotten that there is a Dongchang Mile in the palace!

Now he doesnt say how prestigious he is, at least he can show a little face with the uncles in “Young Jinyiwei”-although the person painted in the book is not very similar to him, he didnt even write his surname, but he said clearly. Now it is the **** of Dongchang palm seal, but who else can he be?

The **** Luo never surrendered himself, and regarded himself and the children of Dongchang as a kind of treacherous eunuchs with bad conscience. He changed into a new flying fish suit, put on a steel fork hat, smiled at the majestic **** in the mirror, and shouted: “Take Gu Da up with this old slave and interrogate with your heart. Anyone in the East Palace who is involved , Don’t let one go!”

The Dongchang trial was overwhelmingly vigorous, and several eunuchs who had been favored in front of the prince were dragged out in a series like grape beads.

Ru Gu Da used such tactics to cheat the prince into dogfighting, to lure the prince into fighting, to steal a picture book from outside the palace to show the prince, and to accompany the prince to practice fists and kicks…

I dont know, there are so many evil prisoners in the East Palace! If it werent for Brother Guos brother to catch Gu Dayong and pull out this group of treacherous nephews, how could the prince accompany this group of villains day and night?

The **** Luo strictly convicted the **** and asked the emperor to severely punish the eunuchs who had taught the prince. Then he selected the mature and prudent eunuchs to serve in the East Palace, and taught that the **** Gao Liang often asked about the East Palace in order to avoid recurrence. The villain deliberately broke the prince for luck.

Upon seeing this memorial, the **** immediately avoided suspicion and presented it to the emperor as it is.

Although the emperor Hongzhi was a gentle, soft and kind person, as a father, he watched the villain want to ruin his son; as an emperor, he watched the treacherous **** and would shake the country; how could he not get angry!

The emperor immediately made an order to punish severely: send Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng who lured the crown prince to gambling to Nanjing Imperial Horse Supervisor Chongjingjun; teach the eunuchs to arrive, and send the Qiu Gathering for the Prince to Fengyang Shouling; Wei Bin, who bought a comic book by the prince, and Zhang Yong, who accompany the prince to practice martial arts, were slightly less responsible. They all sent them to the vacant palace to see the courtyard.

Brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling started another big case. They were refreshed and walked with wind, so they hurriedly went to Cui Xie to ask for credit.

Cui Xie heard the names of Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong familiar, and asked him: “Just these few eunuchs? Has anyone else checked it carefully? Is there anyone who tempts the prince to indulge Yile? The prince is still young, you guys. The two are the elders of the country’s uncle, and they have to be careful to distinguish the characters for him, and weed out the poor quality.”

The two recalled meticulously, and both shook their heads: “Even the person who secretly bought the comics outside the palace for the prince has been found out. The saint said that the book is about Jiarong, there is no hindrance, and the punishment for those who buy the book is also light. Some, just punish them to sprinkle in the palaces.”

Cui Xie really wanted to say the word “Liu Jin” directly. If Liu Jin can be defeated at this time, when Zhu Houzhao is in power, the cabinet will have the current four or Liu, Li, and Xie three elders, plus Yang Yiqing, Yang Ting and two big men, Wang Sheng who can fight hard, Daming Tuo Tuoer can be stable for another fifty years, what is there to worry about?

But if he, a sixth-rank foreign minister, could casually say the name of an **** beside the prince who was unknown to his uncle, it would be unclear whether he was spying on the inner court or making friends with the eunuch.

He was very sorry, so he could only tell the uncles to continue to pay attention to the East Palace.

The uncles said happily, “Sir, dont worry, we are still waiting for the fourth part of “Young Jinyiwei”. I wonder if this third part was written by Mr. Zhu Zhishan, or whether the three new gentlemen, Li, Wang, and Bian, also followed. write?”

Cui Xie said: “This year, Tang Bohu, a talented Jiangnan talent who had made friends with Zhu Zhishan, went to Beijing for a test. His poems and prose are brilliant and majestic. This book is called Zhishan and gave him a try.”

At the end of last year, Tang Yin and Jiangyin Xujing, a member of the eighth year of Hongzhi, entered Beijing by boat.

Zhu Yunming had been looking forward to his arrival in Beijing for three years, but he refused to let him leave when he received someone. He forced them to stay in his rented house and introduced them to study with Cui Xie. Cui Xie was busy trying out cement production, editing agricultural science comics, and personally adapted a set of abridged comics for the little prince. There was really no time to teach students, so he proposed to open the home mock examination room to two people. The sky is simulated inside.

Xu and Tang had never seen him before, and they heard the news first. They only felt that Cui Xie was arrogant and indifferent, and didn’t put them Jiangsu talents in their eyes.

Tang Yin directly asked Zhu Zhishan: “Cui Gong wanted me to write a book for his disciples, but he ignored me and Brother Xu. Is it the treatment of a celebrity?”

Zhu Zhishan tried hard to persuade him: “It was because he was kind to you that he asked you to do simulations. I failed in the six exams in the village, and failed in the national exams. It was in his home that I learned to take the exam after several months. legal.”

However, Tang Bohu himself took the test. After only a year of studying behind closed doors in Suzhou, he took the Jie Yuan test. He was valued by his teacher Liang Chu and his bachelor Cheng Minzheng, and he was not cold about Cui Xie’s mock test. Despite Zhu Zhishan’s mediation and explanation, they still don’t plan to go to the Cui family to simulate, but only want to visit the teacher, Cheng Xueshi and the famous scribes.

But for some reason, since they entered Beijing, their luck has always been bad.

Whenever Tang Yin is invited to a banquet at the princes house, or Xu Jing wants to buy a restaurant banquet, there will always be some accidents on the way out. Especially when the two agreed to visit the home of Bachelor Cheng Minzheng, they caught up with the shocked horse on the road. If it hadn’t happened to be stopped by the guards of the city, the two talented men would have to roll into the street.

The two of them encountered a few strange things in a row, and some were afraid to go out, and wanted to ask a mage to get rid of their bad luck.

Zhu Zhishan only said: “I am the head of the household. It is not good to have a mage at home. You might as well visit the Cui’s house. The neighbor of Cui’s house is Jin Yiwei, who is very angry and can suppress Xie Chong.”

Although the two were not willing, they couldn’t go anywhere else, so they could only listen to his arrangements to go to Cui’s house.

When todays Zicis mansion, the well-known Xie Zhenfu in the Jin Yiwei comic book by the neighbor lived, he was able to suppress all strange things. When going out, they often encounter broken shafts, poor horses, people blocking the road… nothing happened. They went to Cui’s house and met Cui Xie.

Cui Xie was different from what they thought. He had no arrogance. Tang Yin’s eyes were still a little admiring. He looked like those literati in Suzhou who pursued him. He praised him for his unique poetry and painting, saying that he had known it from Zhu Zhishan. His reputation, hate not being able to meet earlier.

“Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance” has been watched for so many years, and I saw Tang Bohu alive today!

Tang Yin asked him to stare at him alone, as if exposed to the gaze of thousands of people, his face was hot, he let out a light cough, and rarely humbly said: “Brother Zhishan has a good reputation. Although Tang Yin has learned some poetry, How dare you show off in front of Master Cui who knows how to test his painting skills in the world.”

Cui Xie laughed and said: “Others are showing off, why are you Tang Jieyuan showing off? If it werent for the two of you to take the test soon, I would like to sort out an agricultural classic on my side, and I would circle these two Jiangnan talents and write it to me. Articles and paintings.”

He arranged for his family to buy some authentic Suzhou-style dishes and serve them with strong shochu that is not available in Suzhou. He diligently persuaded: “Although I am not a famous talent, I have also published scientific research books and have some experience. You stay I have a few mock exams here. Wouldnt it be better for me to read the article for you than to spend my time on a feast?”

Test test, teacher Cui’s magic weapon.

The two of them were left by Cui Xieqiang, and the next day they entered the examination room with his brother Cui He and did the real questions for Hongzhi nine years.

After leaving the examination room, Tang Bohu lay firm on the bed for two days.

No poems or banquets can match the Cui family’s large bed, which is covered with thick feather blankets and a bookcase at the head of the bed. There is also a movable side table beside the bed, which can be moved to a suitable position by pulling it with a hand. You can eat or write articles on the table.

He just lay down on this bed until the meeting, not going anywhere!

Xu Jing is better than him. He can get up the next afternoon after the exam and meet Zhu Zhishan who has come to visit them.

Seeing a friend is naturally delighted, but as long as he thinks of the seven big questions that seem to be impossible to write, the narrow test shed full of pooping smell, the noisy crowd coming and going, Xu Jing will have headaches and chest tightness, and Zhu Zhishan frightened. “I have taken four exams for talents and juren. Have you ever seen such a dirty and messy examination room? Beijing Gongyuan really looks like this? How did my brother get over it back then?”

Zhu Zhishan smiled and said: “The mock exam is to simulate the most unsatisfactory situation in the exam. The exam papers are difficult and the exam room will be chaotic. You can smoothly make acceptable articles in this mock exam room. Why worry after entering the venue. No? You don’t recognize the person who was in the simulation with you yesterday. It was the brother of Cui Shi talked about it. If the simulation test is not good, he can cheat outsiders. Is there anyone who cheated his own brother?”

Five flavors are mixed in the chest of Xu Jing. Knowing that this test is useful, but when I thought of having to play two games or even a few rounds in that yard later, I felt a little retreat.

Zhu Zhishan sighed to himself: “You are lucky to catch up with Master Cuis disciples. The two uncles are not present, so the simulation is fairly easy. In the year I was preparing for the exam, Li Bozheng, who was ranked 24th in the second division, did During the mock test, the censer that was smoking was thrown into the courtyard by the uncles. It pretended to be on fire, and he was scared to climb onto the courtyard wall!”

But it can’t be said that the uncle of the country is a malicious trick. After all, fires often happen in Gongyuan. In recent years, there have been fires before and after the Yingzong Zhengtong and Tianshun dynasties: the previous Shuntian Township Examination only burned the house, and the Chunyu fire in the seventh year of Tianshun killed more than 90 people in the examination…

With such a small exam number, people are crowded and crowded, and if the candle is overturned, the wind blows into a big fire. At that time, being able to climb up the wall might save myself a life!

After Xu Jing went back, he studied hard until midnight, and thought of midnight. Finally, his thoughts of focusing on exams prevailed. When it was time for the second mock test, I pulled Tang Bohu up early and went to simulate again.

Tang Yin shrank in the bed, clutching the quilt and said, “I won’t go! I never thought that the trial can be so tormenting! Everyone says that the test is easy, the test is easy, and the palace test is especially easy. I can easily test in Suzhou. How did the person who handed in the papers and took the first name Xieyuan, how did he take the test questions so hard? I’m afraid that if I repeat the test twice, I will be even weaker in the examination room.”

Xu Jing tried to persuade him not, and was about to leave, but when two people broke into the door, they crackled and put on Tang Yin’s clothes and dragged him out.

The two weak scholars shouted: “What is this! Are you robbing people!”

The two servants said lightly: “The young ones are dedicated to serving mock candidates like the two masters. Yesterday, I wish the adults told us that the two have the intention of not wanting to take the exam. The adults said that you scholars are most afraid of giving up halfway. , I also told the story of Mengmu’s breakage, and specifically asked us to pick up the two.”

The breaking of Mengmu’s machine is a story in the Three Character Classic.

Even the family knows that scholars are afraid of giving up halfway. How can they both rush to the middle-level exam candidates who came to the Jinshi to abandon the exam because they think the mock exam is not clean and tidy?

No matter how you have to wait until the end of the three exams, see how Master Cui commented on him!

Tang Yin’s face was slightly hot, and he whispered: “Let me go.”

The two put them down, holding two people on the left and right, and didnt tell them to go back to the room to get anything. They just said: “There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the mock test shed. You can just go there. Dont waste time Up.”

They were originally the clan who Cui Xie had hired to discipline Cui Heng. They were bold and powerful, and even Cui Heng’s temperament made them obedient. It was only after Cui Heng got married. If they were to be taken care of again, because they were afraid that the bride would not look good, Cui Xie called them out and pretended to be soldiers on the field, adding pressure to the candidates.

In the past few years, they have gone from staring at the students to undress and search their bodies, to sell tea in the venue, to patrol the examination room, to stamp the dirty rolls…the whole set is all done. Tang and Du both fell into their hands and suffered three games, but they knew the process of entering and exiting the game and even the small problems on the court.

It’s a pity that the uncles are busy staring at the East Palace, they have no chance to simulate the fire.

After three exams, both talents were tired and paralyzed. Cui Xie took the two test papers to read it in person, and took Zhu Zhishan and Wang Shouren to serve as the same examiners, and seriously judged them according to the test process.

Tang Yin’s essays are upright, strict and clean, and are completely different from his usual poems. Although Xu Jing is a bit older, the article is not so good. It can’t be simulated by just a few simulations in the yard.

If the foundation is not solid, and the heart is not calm, I am afraid that this subject will be difficult.

Cui Xie didn’t tell them this evaluation, but pushed back from Hongzhi’s nine years, and gave them a mock test for each subject. The three examiners respectively circled and deleted the questions they made, and commented on the title of the paper in accordance with the rules of the examination room.

Two Jiangnan talents gave him a mock test at home, and the more he took the test, the more he adapted to the rhythm and the fluent his writing became. However, due to lack of physical strength, he would always encounter minor situations when he went out as when he lived in Zhu’s house, and he was still unable to go out to be a monster.

It wasn’t until the morning of the ninth day of February that the two Jiangnan Juzi, who had moved the capital with articles and rich men as soon as they entered Beijing, came outside the dragon gate with two indifferent faces.

Undress and take off their boots, let the sergeants check their entrainment, enter the arena to sign the papers, and enter the exam booth to clean and eat… While other candidates are still in a hurry, the two have skillfully completed a series of preparations. Take a nap in the test shed, waiting for the day to be rolled out.

In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the examination for this subject started flatly, finished three tests flatly, and finished the papers flatly…On February 29, the list was issued as scheduled.
