Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 126

For every scholar, the roll call in the Hall of Yingying is a scene worth recalling in a lifetime, and it is also an honor for every person who is keen on fame and fame, and has made unremitting efforts for it all his life.Although, they have to pay a high price, but for this short-lived glory and my ideal for the world, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their youth.

At this moment, it was so heart-pounding, and many people's faces were not good-looking, and even a little downcast.

"It is said that the [-] Jinshi Division awarded the Jinshi and the first place, and Wang Ang, Jiangdu of Yangzhou, has an audience."

"It is said that the [-] Jinshi Division was awarded the Jinshi and the second, and the auspicious Fu of Kaifeng Fu Zhao Kai had an audience."

It has always been a custom for Sanding Jia to enter the palace to have an audience. The emperor personally received Jiawei to show his honor.

He Gui's face was so dark that water dripped out. The majestic Provincial Yuan was actually taken down in the palace examination and ranked third among the five Jinshi scholars. .

Looking back at the moment before the roll call, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the sky was perfect and fine. Outside the Xuande Gate in Ouchi, Tokyo, more than [-] Jinshi and co-jinshi who were playing their names and special names gathered outside the Xuande Gate as soon as the sky was bright.

Provincial Yuan He Gui is the first name in the Ministry of Rites Examination, and the Palace Examination also feels very good. He is in the midst of the spring breeze. Zhu Song from Wuyuan is ranked second, which can be regarded as very proud, but his face is very serious. Don't be happy with things, don't Worrying about things, he will succeed in applying what he has learned.

The judges near them all complimented the few idiots who passed the palace examination with the title of Zhengshi. If there is no mistake, He Gui and Zhu Song must be Jinshi and rank.Anyway, talking about compliments, squeezing out a few smiles on the cheeks does not cost money, and by the way, it will make a good relationship, and it will be easy to make friends in the future, so why not do it.

At this time, of course, the personable Zhang Qiyuan was indispensable. His ranking was not low, and he did not flatter like the later generations. Instead, he congratulated him in a very gracious manner.

Wang Xiu's face was indifferent, and she was not interested in watching those messy things at all. Shen Mo stood with him, but they had to go to the front row after a while. They would not enter the palace in a crowd, but lined up in order according to their rankings in the Ministry of Rites Examination.

Beside him are the tall and burly bodyguards of Banzhi, all of them staring at each other. Anyone who dares to walk indiscriminately will not be captured on the spot.

There was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, reminiscing about the beauty of that night, a few days of no movement didn't mean everything was fine, which made him unable to completely relax.

The rank of the palace examination is directly related to the future prospects. In the Tang Dynasty, as soon as one entered the Jinshi, all became famous. There were excellent scholars in the Song Dynasty, and the number of scholars was ten times that of the previous Tang Dynasty. Only Jinshi was considered a celebrity. , Focus on the first division and the first.

He is also an ordinary person, so seeking fame and fortune is of course unavoidable, the desire for fame and position suddenly became a hundred times more urgent.

"Look, that's Grand Master Cai's eldest grandson, Cai Yi, the eldest son of Cai Longtu, and the one next to him is the young master of Wan Shi Xing, Mo Mo."

"Cai Yi, is that Cai Yi who was named after Betzi Shiliuzheng?"

"Of course, the second generation of the Cai family is the fourteenth brother who is educated, and among the three generations, Cai Yi is the most educated."

"I want to learn about Cai Tao, but I was banned at home by the officials. It's all thanks to Cai Longtu. The Cai family fights in their own nest."

"Cai Yi has a good relationship with Cai Tao."

"Shut up, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

It turned out that Zhao Ji favored Cai You, so he planned to open up the Yanjiang Road from his home to Yanfu Palace, and build a flying bridge across the city to his door, so that Zhao Ji and Cai's family could move around more conveniently.

Yanfu Palace is quite famous. Zhao Guangyi once wanted to expand the imperial city, but unfortunately the inner city wall had already been finalized. The population of citizens continued to increase, and the houses were naturally densely populated, which also led to large-scale demolition during the reign of Zhenzong.The citizens of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty were not sheep, they were even a group of people invited out by them. Your emperor didn’t solve the congestion in the inner city, but he even wanted to expand his courtyard. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? The news was immediately resisted by the citizens, which almost caused a large-scale civil uprising and had to be abandoned in the end.

Until Zhao Ji came to the throne, he felt that the imperial palace was too small to live in, and it was too aggrieved. Now that the emperor was interested, a group of flatterers had a place to play, and they all played to enclose the north of the imperial city to the north wall of the inner city. To build the military camp workshops and temples into a grand royal courtyard, Zhao Ji half-pushed and half-approved, this is the Yanfu Palace.Later, the Yanfu Palace was expanded twice, and the palace complex was built across the old city, and the old city was dredged into a river, named Jinglong River, with rippling blue waves, which can be used for boating.

If it wasn't for the Zhengshuo Dynasty, Zhao Ji wouldn't have stayed in the palace at all. Thanks to this group of Jinshi, Da Nei ushered in Zhao Guan's house again, and he could stay for two days anyway.

Turning the conversation to the Cai family, this bird incident led by Cai You has already started posting bulletins, involving more than ten thousand citizens, and it has to cross the bustling business district.

Cai Xie is not a good bird. He handles government affairs on behalf of Cai Jing. Even Wang Fu and Li Bangyan don't pay attention to it, but he is more sober than Cai You. Several admonitions intensified the conflict between brothers, and the originally tense relationship rose to a level of tension.

"Afraid of a bird, his Cai family can cover the sky with one hand?"

"The Cai family can't, but that." One person pointed to the sky.

Not caring about the man's face turning pale, he closed his mouth obediently.

"Who is beside Cai Yi and Shen Mo?"

"You don't even know him? Shang Shui Wang Xiu."

"Oh." The man nodded in embarrassment amid a burst of contemptuous gazes at the soil turtle.

"Brother Zhizhi, is this the author of the Theory of Mind?" Zhu Song walked over with a sallow face and looked at Wang Xiu with complicated eyes.

Wang Xiu didn't know which god this was, so she smiled politely and said, "Don't dare."

"Brother Qiao Nian." Shen Mo is from Kaifeng Xiangfu, and has a lot of friends. Of course, he knows Zhu Song, a student of the Imperial Academy, and introduced him: "This is a famous scholar from Wuyuan, Zhu Song and Zhu Qiaonian of the Imperial Academy; this is a merchant from Chenzhou. Water King Xiu Wang Wenshi."

"I've heard about it for a long time." When Wang Xiu heard about Wuyuan, it was a very famous place in later generations, with picturesque mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, and it was also a geomantic treasure land for Jinshi.

However, he was not very interested in Wuyuan, and Zhu Song was a big shock to him.Can you not be shocked?Of course, one cannot fail to understand Neo-Confucianism when looking at the study of the mind. Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, is an important person. The master in front of him is Zhu Xi’s father!
"I've read the literary masterpiece three times, and I've been suppressed everywhere. After the Hall of Valor is called, I'll make a special trip to ask for advice." Zhu Song's eyes were sharp.

Wang Xiu felt awkward for a while, she was here to find fault with this matter!It’s no wonder that Xinxue stands on the basis of Neo-Confucianism and turns its head to refute Neo-Confucianism. The first half of Xinxue’s orthodox criticism of Lixue is also sharp. It is because Wang Yangming criticized Dacheng’s Neo-Confucianism as useless. Philosophy at its peak.

However, judging from the fact that Zhu Song was not yet a weak crown, he actually crowned the name. It seems that some great Confucians appreciate him quite a lot.

Similarly, Zhu Song was very wary of Wang Xiu. He was very confident in his knowledge. He entered the Taixue at a young age, entered the Xiashe just a year after he arrived, and won the second place in the Ministry of Rites Examination in one fell swoop. The palace examination went smoothly.

But he is not an arrogant person. On the contrary, he has learned the true biography of Ercheng, and he has practiced well in nourishing qi. He has done some research on the theory of mind learning, and the more he looks at it, the more frightened he is. He wanted to find a reason to refute, but found it difficult. The other party's thinking was tight, the logic was rigorous, and it was almost impossible to refute.

Wang Xiu didn't want to talk to Zhu Song very much, he was tired of discussing too much knowledge, so he would hide if he could.

Zhu Song saw that Wang Xiu had a flat attitude towards him, and thought that Wang Xiu was contemptuous of him, so he was very unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Wen Shi is very confident, but I don't know if Long Fei Huang Jia is from a family background or a degree? "

What he said was a bit heavy, and his silent face was very ugly. Before Wang Xiu could speak, he said first: "You are also a student of the imperial court, and a well-known figure in Shilin. Do you lose your status by saying this?"

Zhu Song looked at Shen Mo coldly, his face was solemn and he didn't say much. In his opinion, Mo Mo was just signing his name, and he didn't have much real talent and learning.

It's not that friends don't get together, Zhang Qiyuan and Wang Ang's brother-in-law came here, and he said with a smile: "Everyone is going to line up, so hurry up and order."

Zhu Song glanced at Wang Xiu, and walked away, but how could he know that he regarded Wang Xiu as his intellectual rival, but he was stunned to be his unborn son, as he had never been scrutinized by Wang Xiu, he At best, he is an overreaching clown.

Zhang Qiyuan smiled and said: "Wen Shi, don't pass, I'm entering the palace."

Wang Xiu nodded with a smile, how could he not hear Zhang Qiyuan's insinuation, he is not a person of the same level, that sense of superiority!

Advanced Palace?Then you go to serve the empress!Looking at Zhang Qiyuan's back, Wang Xiu felt infinite evil, and said, "Brother Zhi, you guys should go too."

"Alright, the roll call will be fast." Mo Mo laughed and comforted Wang Xiu with words.

Cai Yi also smiled slightly: "It's very fast, but it's just a boring exam. It's really boring."

When he entered the palace for the first time, Wang Xiu was still a little curious and a little excited. The majesty of the Nangong Gate and Wende Palace Gate made him feel so small again. Facing so many sophisticated and talented figures in the world, it is inevitable that I feel a little more apprehensive and timid in my heart.

"I will never, never let this iconic and majestic building be lost in the long river of history." He was thinking secretly, filled with joy and even more ambitious.

In front of the majestic Jiying Hall, Wang Xiu, who was in the middle of the row, still had a calm face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his expression was calm and light, and he didn't care about other people's mood at all. Regardless of rank.

When the protocol officer called the roll for the fourth time, but did not simply roll the roll, all the Jinshi fell silent for a while, and fell silent.

Zhang Qiyuan, who was very proud in his heart, was like a shit-top butt, the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and his eyeballs were wide open, almost falling down.

Not to mention He Gui, Zhu Song and others, even Cai Yi and Shen Mo were stunned.
