The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 245

From Dongcheng Gongyuan back to Xicheng Xianyifang, Xie Shen almost traveled through the entire Shuntian Mansion.

Now that the results of the general examination have been released, the rest is to wait for the palace examination with peace of mind.

However, because the future father-in-law Xu Guan suddenly suffered a stroke and fell ill, the Xu mansion has been shrouded in a depressing and dull atmosphere.

Even Mr. Wang Hua didn't follow the original plan to hold a banquet to celebrate the "Three Heroes of Yuyao" on the imperial list. Instead, he wrote a letter himself and asked someone to send it to Xu Shilang in Songjiang Mansion.

Naturally, Xie Shen didn't know the specific content of the letter, but it must be greeting Xu Shilang's body and so on.

Let's not mention these things for the time being, but say that in a blink of an eye it will be the day of the palace examination.

On the fifteenth day of the third lunar month, Xie Shen and all the tribute scholars entered the Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City to wait for the examination.Different from any previous exams, this time the emperor personally planned the exam, which was both pressure and motivation for the scholars.

The examiner is the Son of Heaven, and the lineup of examiners is equally strong.

Shaofu and Taizi Taifu, Xu Pu, a scholar of Jinshen Palace, Taibao of the Prince, Liu Jian, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Li Dongyang, a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a Bachelor of Attendant, Xie Qian, a scholar of Zhan Shifu and a scholar of Attendant, Prince Shao Bao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Tu Yu, Prince Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Ye Qi, Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of War Ma Wensheng, Prince Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Bai Ang, and Liu Zhang who held the position of Shangshu of Xu Guangong in Xie Shen's future Laotai Mountain.

In addition, there are Yang Mi, the censor of Zuoqian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yuan Shouzhi, the envoy of Tongzheng, and Wang Ji, the minister of Dali Temple.
A total of 12 super-strong lineups of test-reading officers can scare people to death just by their titles.

Among these people, almost all the famous officials of the Hongzhi Dynasty are included, which is definitely a superstar lineup.

It's a pity that Xie Shen's future father-in-law, Xu Guan, suddenly contracted a wind disease, otherwise Xu Guan would be the new minister of the Ministry of Industry as the examiner of the palace examination today.

The examination process was very simple, and the atmosphere was very peaceful. The examinees were led to the square in front of Fengtian Temple, sat down at their desks, and began to answer questions.

Since Emperor Hongzhi was the chief examiner, the questions he asked were naturally very cool.

Xie Shen glanced at it, and saw that there were two hundred words written on the exam question.

The emperor's system said: "I am only a king, and I must have merit, so that I can't be ignored by the world. How can I rule the two first? If you don't learn, you can't be virtuous, and if you don't govern, you can't talk about merit. It may be said that the study of the emperor does not lie in literature and art, or that the frugality of the emperor is the last part, or that the master does not care about the details, or that the sage king is not diligent and far-sighted. Where do you live with the virtues of the two emperors and three kings? What do you do? What do you do with the governance of the two emperors and three kings? Or Shiyi obey.However, if the outline is not correct or benevolent to establish a country, and the military strategy does not compete, it is learning to promote government, which can be discussed, what are the gains and losses.My great ancestors, Emperor Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen, have the highest feats and holiness in the past and the present. They are inherited from each other by sages. If you want to keep the five things that the officials of the Song Dynasty have advanced, go to the nine things that the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty have made, cover up the three strategies that Han Confucianism has opposed, and pursue the ancient emperors above, I am worthy of the great merit of my ancestors. All the students come here to learn Taoism and embrace art, and they all have ambitions in the world. Those who are suitable for use to assist me, try to learn from Chen Zhi, and I will do it accordingly.

The title is very grand and exciting, and it is worthy of being written by the wise and powerful Emperor Hongzhi who rejuvenated the Ming Dynasty.

Although Xie Shen mainly studied the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties in his previous life, his favorite thing other than that is the history of the Hongzhi Dynasty.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the personal charm of Emperor Hongzhi is too strong.

It took Xie Shen less than an hour to finish writing the article.

The Palace Examination should be said to be the easiest of the six-level imperial examinations.Not only because it only relies on one policy question, but also because there is no quota for elimination in the palace examination.Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to finish the topic in a relaxed and friendly manner, and be an official together.

After completing the questions, Xie Shen handed in the paper according to the regulations, and then left the Forbidden City.

It's better not to wander around the place where the emperor lives, otherwise it would be too wronged if he was arrested as an unruly person.

After leaving the Forbidden City, Xie Shen went straight back to Xu Residence in Xianyifang, West City.

According to the regulations, the examination papers of the palace examination should be read by the paper reader, and the rankings will be selected.

Those with the highest rankings will be sent to the emperor's imperial court for personal judgment.

During the days of waiting for the ranking, Xie Shen rarely began to think about how to get along with Qianqian.

Mrs. Xu's condition seems to have stabilized, so there is no need to delay the marriage.

But Mr. Xu is unlikely to leave Songjiang mansion immediately and rush back to the capital. There should be a host for the marriage, right?

Annoying, really annoying.

Three days later, on March [-]th, the Grand Ceremony of Chuanlu.

In front of Fengtian Hall, after a grand and majestic roll call, everyone was stunned.

The No.1 of Yijia, that is, the champion is not the previous popular member Zhu Xizhou, but Yuyao Xie Shen!

You must know that the general examination is the wind vane of the palace examination, and the probability of being a champion among members is always much higher than that of ordinary prospective scholars.

Even Xie Shen himself didn't understand how he got this ranking.Could it be that an article he wrote by hand was favored by Emperor Hongzhi, and he personally selected it as the first name?

This number one scholar is like falling from the sky!
Apart from Xie Shen's No. [-] pick, there are more surprising things.

For example, Zhu Xizhou, the No. 90 scholar in the ninth year of Hongzhi, did not even enter the top three, but Wang Shouwen actually got No. [-] and eighth in the overall list, and he was strongly ranked among the top two Jinshi.

You must know that there is an essential difference between the second-class Jinshi and the third-class Jinshi.

Needless to say, the top ten in the second class have the opportunity to be selected as a good official. Even if the ranking is slightly lower in the second class, if the background is strong enough, they can still be selected as a very good official.

But if you fall into the top three, and you don't have any strong background, at most you can only let a county magistrate out to pass the official addiction.His career prospects are bleak.

Xie Pi also achieved good results in the second and eighth places in the exam, and truly realized the plan of Yuyao's three heroes to advance and retreat together.

The schedule after the palace examination was very full.

On March [-], Zhang Mao, the prince and grand teacher of the United Kingdom, was ordered by the emperor to host the Qionglin Banquet in the Ministry of Rites.All Xin Ke Scholars went to the Ministry of Rites to have a banquet very sensibly, and strengthened their relationship with their peers in the same year.

Two days later, on March 21, Xie Shen, the champion of the new division, led all Jinshi to the table again as a watch, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

After that, there is the Confucian Temple of Yi Xianshi, who is awarded official positions.

According to the order of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Shen, No. 1 Jinshi, was awarded the editor by the Imperial Academy, and the second, No. 3 Wang Zan and Chen Lan were awarded the editor.

The rest of the second-class Jinshi and third-class Jinshi temporarily went to various yamen to observe politics and wait for the selection of the hall.

On March 31, Emperor Hongzhi issued another edict, ordering the Ministry of Officials to select 20 people including Zhu Xizhou, a second-class Jinshi, as Shujishi.

Shu Jishi was ordered to go to the Hanlin Academy to study as a trainee on the very day. The lecturers were the famous Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi and Hanlin Academy Attendant Lecturer Zhang Sheng and Attendant Wang Jia.
