Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1465 It's him!
In the capital, discussions about the descendants of Yan and Huang swept across the entire Ming Dynasty, but soon, like countless major events in the past, they were covered by other things in a blink of an eye.

The imperial examination in the [-]st year of Hongzhi soon became the most concerned thing for the young and old in the whole capital. Every three years in the prosperous age, there will be scenes of talented scholars and beautiful ladies staged every time. People can never get enough of it.

On the first day of October, the day when the official examination began, the entire capital city seemed to be quiet because of this, and the area around the Gongyuan was cleared in advance to prevent anyone from affecting the examination.

On this day, as the chief examiner, Liu Jin got up very early. After washing up, he put on his second-rank crimson golden pheasant official uniform, put on his cap, and went to the Gongyuan where the examination would be held.

In the past, the three-year Luncai Ceremony was held in February, so it was generally called Chunwei, and the rural examination was usually held in the autumn of the year before the test, so it was generally called Qiuwei.

However, in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, because of the gift of Dongbang and the vast territory of Ming Dynasty, it took a long time to come to the capital from overseas and other provinces to take the exam.

Therefore, the time of the test was changed to October. This is the first time that Daming postponed the time of the test to October. The purpose is to give more time to the students who come to take the test. After all, Daming is too big. Yes, the traffic on this matter is relatively backward.

It will take at least a few months to arrive in the capital if you come to the capital from Golden Continent or Australia to take the exam. If you continue to take the general exam in March after the rural exam, many students will most likely not be able to catch up, and you should postpone it appropriately. There will be enough time to hold it until October.

The exam will be held in October, and it is estimated that it will be finalized in the future. It means that the provincial exam is in autumn, and the general exam is also in autumn. There is almost a year in between for the students to rush and prepare.

Liu Jin walked unhurriedly to the Gongyuan side in a four-wheeled carriage. On the other side of the Gongyuan, many students who came to take the imperial examination naturally came to the Gongyuan early.

The three-year examination is a major event that can determine the success or failure of a person's life. I don't know how many people in the past dynasties have jumped the dragon's gate here, became Tian Shelang in the court, and ascended to the Tianzitang in the evening, and finally became powerful figures who influenced the direction of history.

Among them, the Ming Dynasty is the most. From the founding of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the ministers and capable people in the Ming Dynasty started from this Gongyuan. Sanyang in the early Ming Dynasty was Yu Qian who turned the tide during the Tumu Fortress. Or generation after generation of cabinet elders, all started here.

It's the same in the Hongzhi Dynasty. Whether it is the elder of the three cabinets in the cabinet, the worst one is Liu Jian, but he is also a Jinshi in the second class. As for Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, one is the first in the second class, that is, the president. The fourth place, because there are only three people in Yijia, and one is from the number one.

This time, Liu Jin, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Officials, was also the No. [-] scholar in the [-]th year of Hongzhi. The six ministers, ministers, etc. of the current dynasty can be random, and the worst is a second-class Jinshi. , No. [-] or something is not unusual at all.

"Fish jumping over the dragon's gate!"

Li Nanyun looked at the Gongyuan in front of him. The huge door was closed at this time, and there were long stone steps below. The open space below was full of students who came to take the exam. They were in groups, some were lonely, some were confident. Full, or extremely excited, nervous...
"Brother Li, how are you preparing?"

Tian Feng, Wang Qi, Ruan Wenjie, Wu Yi and others gathered together, seeing what Li Nanshan seemed to be thinking, they also asked with a smile.

"Brother Li still need to prepare?"

"He's so talented, he's just as capable of high school as he wants."

Pei Wenqing said with a smile, everyone is together these days, and everyone knows about Li Nanshan's talents. Although he is not a Han, he is more talented than Pei Wenqing, Wu Yi, Wu Lang and other Han students. Unexpectedly, Li Nanshan High School did not have any problems.

Well, the main reason is that the competitiveness of the East List is much smaller than that of the North and South Lists.

"It's too early to say, it's too early to say~"

"What I hope is that everyone can go to high school and be an official in the same dynasty in the future, share the worries of the emperor, and seek the well-being of the common people."

Li Nanshan said modestly.

"Yes, yes, high school together, high school together, everyone will go to the grassland to eat roasted whole lamb to celebrate, celebrate ~"

Yun Tiantian from the northern grassland said hastily.

In another place outside the Gongyuan, Jing Yang, Dai Dabin, Lu Nan and others also gathered together, all of them calm and relaxed, looking very confident, as if they came here and walked a process casually, without any worry that they would things that failed.

Those gathered around the three of them were all great talents from the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and many of them were Jie Yuan from each province. For this time's imperial examination, they were basically all winners. The key lies in who can win the first prize.

"Has any of you met Mr. Liu?"

Lu Nan rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time. He could start entering the examination room in ten minutes.

"I haven't seen it~"

"I heard that Mr. Liu is still very young, only in his early thirties, handsome and talented."

"Back when Liu Gong was the number one scholar parading the streets, all the Huaichun girls in the entire capital came out."

Someone said with a smile.

"I've also heard people say this. At that time, Mr. Liu was only nineteen years old. In just ten years, Mr. Liu has already become Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is really a role model for me!"

Dai Dabin sighed.

In fact, they are all about the same age as Liu Jin, and some of them are even older than Liu Jin, but Liu Jin has already become the number one scholar at the age of nineteen, and now he is already in a high position, and they have just begun to set foot here. Gongyuan.

They can all imagine the scene when Liu Jin, who was nineteen years old, was approving red flowers and parading through the streets of the capital on a tall horse. That is the real pride in life.

"Clang~clang~"

Soon, a bell rang from the Gongyuan, and the heavy door was slowly opened. An official came to the gate of the Gongyuan and shouted: "Start entering!"

The many students who had been waiting outside for a long time suddenly regained their spirits, stopped talking one after another, and started queuing up according to the three rankings in the north, south, east, and east. specifications etc.

Then it's time to draw a number.

"Buddha bless you, don't get a bad name~"

The test is an extremely serious matter. No one in the past dynasties dared to be sloppy, so basically there will be no problems in identity verification, item inspection, etc.

But when it comes time to draw numbers, many students will silently pray in their hearts, praying for better luck and not getting bad numbers.

The so-called "stinky number" refers to those test positions that are closer to the latrines, because the exam will last for a long time, usually three days and three nights, during which all the daily life is in the small test position.

If you get a seat next to the latrine, you can smell the exciting smell all the time, it is estimated that this very literary talent can only be displayed at an average level, not to mention that the test is three days and three nights. crashed.

Those who got a good position naturally entered the Tribute Academy happily and began to prepare for the exam, while those who got a bad number all had dark faces, couldn't help cursing, and secretly felt unlucky.

Soon, more than [-] students from all over the Ming Dynasty entered the Gongyuan one after another, and began to prepare for this imperial examination in the small examination rooms of the Gongyuan.

After these students entered the Tribute Academy and finished their preparations, Liu Jin arrived at the Tribute Academy.

After getting off the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin also looked at the Gongyuan in front of him with some sighs, recalling the scene when he came to take the imperial examination.

Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and I returned to the Gongyuan again, but I became the chief examiner.

"Liu Gong, all the preparations are ready~"

Han Wen, one of the examiners this time, also came forward to report upon seeing Liu Jin's arrival.

Han Wen is now the Minister of the Household Department. When Liu Jin was in the Household Department, he and Han Wen were colleagues, but Liu Jin was promoted one step faster than him.

"Thank you Mr. Han~"

Liu Jin also quickly saluted and said, Han Wen is much older than Liu Jin, and he is mature and prudent, if he comes to help, Liu Jin will be much more relaxed.

"It should be, it is our honor to select talents for the emperor and for the country."

Han Wen replied with a smile.

While the two were talking, they also entered the Tribute Court and came to the examiner's seat. They sat down in order,

"....The most important thing in seeking talents is subject, and justice depends on this. Anyone who is unfair will be recorded in the annals of history, and anyone who commits fraud will be cast aside..."

Sitting on the position of the chief examiner, Liu Jin, like the previous chief examiners, delivered some testimonials before the exam. Liu Jin's voice was clearly transmitted to every corner of the entire Tribute Academy, making all the students who took the exam endure. Can't help but slightly straighten.

"It turned out to be him!"

Jing Yang was lucky, the position he drew was very close to where the chief examiner was, and he could see the chief examiner clearly. Hearing Liu Jin's voice, he quickly looked over.

When I saw Liu Jin in a crimson robe, I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and I was a little dumbfounded. I couldn't think of the person I met in the attic of Tingyuxuan Huxin Island that day. , It turned out to be Liu Jin, the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and even more to become his chief examiner this time.

His whole heart sank, because he was talking nonsense at that time, and he had a lot of complaints about Liu Jin. If this had reached Liu Jin's ears, wouldn't he not even know how he died.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being upset and fidgeting in a panic.
