The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 64
No one cared when Zheng Xiong left, all Jinshi were racking their brains to figure out how to refute it, it was impossible to just admit defeat like this.Sentence-by-sentence, meticulous detailing, only these scholars have such leisure time in this regard.

One of the Jinshi was ready to quote the scriptures, and when he looked up, Zheng Xiong was gone.

"Where's Zheng Tiling? Why didn't he disappear? Did he leave? This is because he was afraid of waiting for me and gave up."

This sentence interrupted everyone's thoughts. They looked up and scanned the surroundings with their eyes to confirm that Zheng Xiong had slipped away, and then looked at this colleague like a fool.

It's okay not to say, Zheng Xiong slipped away to save a little face for everyone, and the outcome doesn't need to be stated clearly.Now that the party is gone, you are still yelling loudly, for fear that others will not know, who do you think highly of, you or me, who can write poems comparable to these few.

The officials who watched the excitement came to their senses, and said one by one in a nonchalant manner.

"Although Zheng Tiling is gone, these poems cannot go. According to my official opinion, these poems can be passed down through the ages. If you can't compose poems comparable to these poems, Zheng Tiling might win."

"It should be like this. I yearn for Tang poetry and Song poetry. Zheng Tiling's poems are excellent. I'm afraid the ancients are still alive. I have another great talent in the literary world."

Although Jinshi is well-known, it is still not enough at this time. Now there are only a handful of these officials who have the fame of Jinshi, and they also have the arrogance to kill these people.Everyone listened to Zheng Xiong's sarcasm about his background before, and there was a sense of resentment. Now that they have the opportunity to make trouble, how can they just let them go.

"You should admit defeat. With the spread of these poems, your name will be passed on to the world, and your name will be left in history. It is such a good thing, but you are envious of us. It is not shameful to lose like this."

The Jinshi group headed by Wu Bozong blushed and glared at the person who just spoke. I am afraid that he is also a villain with a reputation in history. What is the use of such a reputation?

One of the Jinshi couldn't bear the ridicule and retorted.

"Although Zheng Tiling's poems are excellent, we may not be unable to write comparable poems. But you guys have just seen Brother Lin's poems. As long as you can compare with them, it doesn't matter if I admit defeat."

"Don't change the subject. I remember that you guys first proposed a competition with Zheng Tiling. If you are not as skilled as others, you will admit defeat. Zheng Tiling and I admire you, don't you? It's still far away."

"I have talked about Zheng Tiling's poems, which are comparable to the ancients, and we are naturally far behind. Either you show us your hand now, or you just admit defeat obediently. If you don't want to admit defeat, how can you be a gentleman?"

With every word you say, you throw the face of these Jinshi into the dust.

Seeing that the elder brother Wu Bozong was about to arouse public anger, he cast a bitter glance at the younger brother who made the noise, and said hastily.

"I admire Tiling's literary talent, and I am willing to bow down to a few poems, but Tiling is not here, so I have to go to another day, and I will definitely come to the house to admit defeat. What do you think?"

The first rank of the official university crushed people, and Wu Bozong, as the number one scholar, started at the fifth rank. Compared with these people who made a fuss, he was not very low. After thinking about it, everyone gave it a face.

"Since the number one scholar has conceded defeat, there is no problem, please go."

Although a group of Jinshi were reluctant, but the boss had spoken, they could only hold back, and quickly slipped away with Wu Bozong.

At this time, Zheng Xiong's poems were sent to Lao Zhu's desk again, with what happened.

"Another poem has been sent, and we all come to taste it."

Li Shanchang was ill, and Zuo Cheng Wang Guangyang picked up the poem and read it out without hesitation.

After reading the first one, Lao Zhu's old buddy was a little surprised. Although Zheng Xiong's official position is not high, the position of a future earl is already confirmed. How can this kind of injustice come from.

Lao Zhu's face was also gloomy, but Wang Guangyang spoke again.

"Don't worry, everyone. I just read what happened. Zheng Xiong was a little arrogant when he opened his mouth. Someone used Juren's background to talk about it. Maybe it has something to do with it. Your Majesty, this is what happened."

Lao Zhu took the written poems and the story and looked at it, his face turned cloudy.

"It's really a bit arrogant. This Zheng Xiongzhen remembers that he wanted to be an official when he got the fame, and he didn't participate in the next year's palace examination. Now it's because of his low background. He came to us to ask for an official. You all have a look."

After reading the poems and the story, Lao Zhu's old guys knew it well.

"Young and frivolous, with a youthful nature, Zheng Xiong deserves the word talent."

Everyone nodded, Zheng Xiong has done a lot, the military and the people have benefited a lot, this is not a talent, then who is a talent.

Lao Zhu also agrees very much that Lao Zhu can share in everything that Zheng Xiong has done in leading the Huimin Pharmacy. After all, it is the Huimin Pharmacy that Lao Zhu decreed to re-establish.The status has also become more and more stable, not to mention the prestige of Nanjing City itself is also increasing day by day, Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau must have contributed.

"By the way, how are these Jinshi's performances during this period? There are quite a few assigned to various ministries, so let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, the few people in my Ministry of Rituals did not perform very well, and they basically followed orders."

"Your Majesty, the officials are the same."

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is almost the same."

"What about the Juren assigned from various places?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Zhongshu has fed back a lot of letters, and there are a few outstanding ones from various places, but the time is still short, and there are not many feedbacks."

Lao Zhu thought for a while, and there were still a few Jinshi graduates, and the effect didn't seem to be very good.The base of Juren's background is large, and the example he set before is very bloody, but now it seems feasible, and Zheng Xiong's benchmark is not bad.

"According to my decree, Zheng Xiong made meritorious service in leading the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau. He was promoted two ranks. He was the fifth rank, with a salary of 180 shi. The other outstanding juren were each promoted by two ranks, and announced to various places."

"I also want this kind of talent. So many people have been released, and there is still a big gap. You all talk about it, where is there any talent that can make me eclectic."

"Your Majesty, talents are rare. Apart from the imperial examinations, there are probably only leftovers from the countryside."

"Then increase the strength of the recommendation, and pass on my will: the ruler who is capable of governing should be assisted by sages. Those who are worthy of virtue and literature in the mountains and forests will be recruited by the secretary, and sent to Beijing with gifts. I will appoint them and use them to govern."

"Come, come, continue reading poetry."

For the second song, Lao Zhu just ignored it, and wished to get a million dollars in gold. If he didn't have a dime, he would be upset when he saw it, but the evaluation was very high, and the benefits were not costly.

The same is true for the third song, which is limited to verbal awards.

The last song made Lao Zhu fall into contemplation. Lao Zhu hated corrupt officials to the bottom of his bones. The shallot tofu with four dishes and one soup was pure and full of warnings.

"This song "Lime Yin" has been copied all over the world, and everyone encourages it."
