The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 538 Success in Palace Examination【4000 words two in one chapter】

After a night of drinking and drinking, Tang Yin was so drunk that he didn't wake up until noon the next day.

He woke up with a splitting headache and the effects of his drunkenness were beginning to show.

After struggling to sit up and walk to the washbasin to wash, Tang Yin made a pot of sober tea and poured it down.

He just felt his stomach churn, suppressed his nausea and shook his head, thinking that yesterday's situation was special, and he couldn't drink like this in the future.

Leaving the house in a hurry, Tang Yin went to find Jia and talk to him.

Yesterday, he talked to Jia He about a marriage and agreed to marry Jia He's daughter.

But it was a drunken talk that could not be taken seriously, now Tang Yin regretted it a bit and wanted to make it clear with Jia He.

Jia He was dancing sword in the yard at the moment, Tang Yin stood silently watching after entering.

After Jia He had completed a complete set of sword skills with a beautiful Sword Flower Dance, Tang Yin stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hui Ning is good at sword skills!"

Seeing Tang Yin coming, Jia He smiled and said, "Bohu, you got up really late today. It turns out that you were all pretending last night, and your drinking capacity is not as good as this old man."

Tang Yin blushed and said: "Tang is really too strong to drink, Brother Hui Ning laughed at him."

"It's time for you to change your address, anyway, you and this old man will soon be a family."

Before Tang Yin opened his mouth, Jia He took the initiative to talk about the marriage. Tang Yin hurriedly said: "Ahem, to be honest, Tang is here for this marriage. Last night, Tang got drunk and said Brother Hui Ning doesn't have to take it seriously."

Jia He's complexion changed drastically, and he said displeasedly: "Bohu, don't be joking, you personally agreed to this marriage. At the banquet, you agreed to the marriage in front of so many fellow scholars, do you want to go back on your word?"

Tang Yin knew that Jia He would not let go easily, so he took a deep breath and said, "This incident is Tang's fault, but Tang is really drunk."

Jia He sneered and said, "I thought that Bohu was different from other people, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Did you look down on my Jia family after passing the Huiyuan exam?"

Tang Yin quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Huining, you are overthinking. We have known each other for so many years, don't you still understand me? I, Tang Yin, am definitely not that kind of villain."

Jia He shook his head and said: "If you know people, face but not heart, how can I know what you think in your heart. Besides, people will change, and you Tang Yin is no exception."

After a short pause, Dun Jiahe continued: "Actually, this is also understandable. People go to high places, but water flows to low places. You, Tang Yin, are now in the limelight. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to climb high, I have nothing to say." Said. But why did you agree to the marriage at the banquet last night? Now you turn your face and regret the marriage, how do you tell the old husband and his daughter to deal with themselves?"

"."

After some questioning, Tang Yin couldn't lift his head, and he sighed after a long time: "Then what should Brother Hui Ning say?"

Jia He thought for a moment and said: "Of course we have to get married as scheduled, the old man can't afford to lose face."

"Is there no room for turning around?"

Tang Yin asked desperately.

"No way!"

"Ok."

Tang Yin sighed and said: "Then Tang will keep his promise."

Jia He turned his anger into joy and said, "That's right, the old man said that Bohu is not a treacherous person."

"During this period of time, you should live in the guild hall. We, Weng and son-in-law, also have a lot of conversations."

"." Tang Yin could only nod his head and said: "It will be according to Brother Hui Ning's words."

Jia He stared: "It's time to change your mouth!"

Tang Yin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "My son-in-law will obey Lao Taishan's orders."

Jia He laughed loudly and said, "What a good son-in-law, what a good son-in-law."

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the palace examination, and all the tributes of the high school who will take the examination gathered in front of the Fengtian Palace, His Majesty Dan, to prepare for the examination.

The palace examination in the Ming Dynasty did not eliminate people, so these prospective Jinshi were extremely relaxed after having achieved fame.

His Majesty Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair in Fengtian Hall, feeling helpless and boring.

He really doesn't like this kind of thing but has no choice but to come and preside over it.

He can evade other court meetings with excuses, but the palace examination cannot be waived no matter what.

"Curls!"

Following the high-pitched chanting of the imperial eunuchs, the scribes began to hand out scrolls to the tribute scholars.

Before His Majesty Dan took the test, all the examinees were refreshed and prepared to finish the last section of the road of Yuyuelongmen.

After the palace examination, everything will be settled, and they will completely enter the bureaucratic class. From then on, Guangzong Yaozu will be envied by relatives and friends in the village.

But when the topic was unfolded, almost all candidates frowned.

"The world is the same."

The title only has four short words, but it is extremely difficult to solve the title.

What is Datong?This is really a matter of opinion.Different people have different understandings, if the explanation is not in line with the emperor's wishes, I am afraid that there will be no good ranking.

The people sitting here are all the best scholars, and they have a good style of writing. Sometimes the comparison is just a starting point or a concept.

Tang Yin was also taken aback when he saw this topic.

If this topic is simple, it is indeed very simple. If it is difficult, it depends on how to understand it.

He is a member of Huiyuan, and attracts a lot of attention. Naturally, the quality of the articles he writes cannot be too low, otherwise it will make people laugh out loud.

Tang Yin was not in a hurry to start writing, but closed his eyes and started to draft.

It took a while for Tang Yin to open his eyes. At this moment, he already had a document in his mind, and he only needed to copy it down on paper.

Tang Yin took a deep breath, picked up the pen and dipped in the ink, started to write quickly, and finished the whole article in less than a stick of incense.

The next step is to wait for the palace test to end.After all, it is the emperor's emperor, and it is too pretentious to hand in the papers in advance, so it is better to follow the trend.

Fortunately, the Palace Examination was only about one strategy theory, and the time was not long and it would be over soon.

The clerks collected the quasi-jinshi papers one by one, and then all the tribute scholars knelt down to the emperor and saluted, and the palace examination was over.

Zhu Houzhao was eager for the palace test to be over quickly, so when the tributes bowed to him and saluted him, he waved his hand and left directly.

This stunned the servants of His Majesty Dan.

Tang Yin was taken aback for a moment, and then left Fengtian Hall with the scholars who were taking the same exam.

The days of waiting for the release of the rankings are tormenting. Although no one will be eliminated, the ranking is also very important to these future newcomers to the officialdom.

It's hard to ask for anything, but fortunately, Tang Yin has the confidence to get the top ten results in the second class, and it is enough to become a good man.

Finally, on the [-]th day of August, the imperial examination was officially released. Tang Yin won the No. [-] Scholar without any surprises. Needless to say, he crossed the horse and paraded through Qionglin Street to have a banquet, and he was also received by the emperor in a special way.

Just when Tang Yin was full of ambition and ready to show his loyalty to the emperor and wanted to do a big job, the emperor lowered his voice and asked him for the erotic palace.

Tang Yin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.Has he become so famous that even the emperor loves his erotic pictures?
Facing the emperor's request, Tang Yin wanted to cry but had no tears.

He would never have imagined that the majestic Son of Heaven would love Erotica so much.

It can only be said that the nature of food and sex is also, and the emperor is also a human being and cannot be exempt from vulgarity.

But Tang Yin felt that he should not leave such an impression on the emperor.

Although the simplicity is in the emperor's heart, when the emperor thinks of Tang Yin, he is "Oh, the one who paints erotic palaces."

It feels so bad.

At any rate, Tang Yin is also a three-in-one trio of Jie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Zhuang Yuan. Although there was a gap of more than ten years and he was not consecutively selected, it was a real achievement that cannot be erased.

Shouldn't His Majesty remember his image?
Tang Yin looked at Zhu Houzhao resentfully, and protested silently.

Zhu Hou looked a little careless, he thought that Tang Zhuangyuan would not want to paint a erotic palace for him, would he?Zhu Houzhao had never experienced this kind of thing, and it was a bit exciting to think about it, but when he thought of the impassioned opposition from the officials, Zhu Houzhao still swallowed a mouthful of spit, oh forget it.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao will not give up on Tang Yin's request for a erotic palace. Although he can't be the protagonist, it is harmless to appreciate it, right?

Tang Yin would not know the emperor's "evil intentions", but felt that the emperor kept smiling at him, very kind and approachable.

After the emperor met Tang Yin, he thought he was very interesting, so he left him in the palace for lunch.

This is a great gift.

You must know that only the three great scholars in the cabinet can have meals with the emperor.This time Tang Yin felt the mighty grace of the emperor.

Because the emperor met Tang Yin in the Wenhua Hall, lunch was also held in the side hall.

Li Dongyang and Xie Shen were also eating together.

Mr. Xie Qian was in poor health and asked for sick leave. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't just pick Xie Qian up from his sick bed just for a bowl of water.

Xie Shen was sincerely happy for Tang Yin.Tang's great talent is indeed talented, otherwise he would not crush the world's scholars as soon as he came back, monopolizing the Huiyuan and the number one scholar.

A person's fate is really unpredictable sometimes, if he hadn't met Tang Yin, maybe Tang Yin would have been wasting away like this, numb himself all day long.

But now, Tang Yin has started a new life.

Although it is a little late to become an official at the age of 40, there are advantages to being late.What the officialdom tests is the ability to deal with people's sophistication, on this point Tang Yin is definitely better than those young boys who have not been deeply involved in the world.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, I will be more calm when dealing with things.Relying in the officialdom is not just about reciting a few lines of poems and writing a few moral articles.

A wingman like Tang Yin was exactly what Xie Shen needed.

Of course Gu Dingchen is also very good, but after all Gu Dingchen has a tendency to be rotten and can only be reused and cannot be reused. The only one who can really understand what Xie Shen is thinking is Tang Yin, who was once deviant.

The emperor's lunch is very complicated, and various delicacies are arranged on the plate in turn.

Xie Shen and Tang Yin didn't have much appetite, and it would be too inattentive to image if they feasted in front of the leader, how much experience did they have?

Emperor Zhengde didn't worry about this, this was his home field, he could come here however he wanted, and he didn't even have to worry about eating.

Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood today, with chopsticks in every dish, and Zhang Yongzhi, the imperial eunuch who was waiting on the side, was smiling happily.

Your Majesty has not had such a good appetite for a long time, and if they eat more, they can be at ease as slaves.

After lunch, the four monarchs and ministers began to chat.

While chatting, Zhu Houzhao excitedly rushed to Xie Shen and said: "Sir, last time that Frangji man came to the capital again, and brought the corn and sweet potatoes that Mr. said."

Xie Shen was overjoyed when he heard the words, he waited and waited and finally waited for him to come.

"This is a good thing, Your Majesty. It seems that there will be no more food shortages in Daming."

Zhu Houzhao nodded his head in agreement with Xie Shen's words.

Zhu Houzhao had already tasted the sweetness of the potatoes brought by the Franch robot last time.The potatoes are not only high-yield, but also do not have high requirements on the quality of the land. Even barren thin sandy land can be grown.

Moreover, potatoes have a strong sense of satiety, and you will feel full after eating a few. It is very suitable for traffickers, farmers, and hard-working handymen who work hard.

"Well, I actually like potatoes very much. I will eat a small plate of this vinegared potato shreds every day."

Xie Shen thought it wasn't the recipe I offered, otherwise you would be able to eat it so delicious?
Sometimes people are like this. When you are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, you will feel very special when you eat home-cooked dishes.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed with longing: "I hope this corn is like potatoes."

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this corn will never be inferior to potatoes, and the taste is more mellow."

Zhu Houzhao, a foodie, cleared his throat and said, "Then Mr. Lao, there is already a lot of corn in the imperial dining room. After lunch, Mr. will teach the imperial chef how to do it."

"."

Xie Shen asked in his heart, can you please stop being so direct.Li Dongyang and Tang Yin are still around, let's be more reserved.

It is said that a gentleman stays away from cooking, so Li Dongyang and Tang Yin don't know what they will think when they learn that Xie Shen likes to cook.

His Majesty the Emperor's big mouth is doing evil, doing evil.

Fortunately, Li Dongyang didn't show too strong a reaction, Tang Yin also looked softly, at least he didn't embarrass Xie Shen on the face.

Zhu Houzhao was obviously aware of the problem, so he hid his embarrassment twice.

Afterwards, Li Dongyang and Tang Yin found excuses to resign, and there were only Zhu Houzhao and Xie Shenjun and his ministers in the hall.

"Your Majesty, can I not ask my minister to cook in front of people in the future!"

Xie Shen looked at Zhu Houzhao with resentment.

"Uh, it's my fault this time. I forgot about Li Shoufu, and Tang Zhuangyuan is here too. I will apologize to you sir."

"I dare not."

Xie Shen sighed and said, "This corn is actually very simple to make. It only needs to be boiled in a pot, and it can be eaten after half an hour."

"So simple? Can it taste good?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't believe it when he heard that it only needs to be boiled in water without any seasoning.

"Your Majesty, this corn itself is very sweet. Although it is only boiled in water, it is full of mellow aroma, which cannot be adjusted by any seasoning. Moreover, the taste of the corn is very good. One bite, tsk tsk."

Xie Shen's eloquent description immediately whetted Zhu Houzhao's appetite, he swallowed and said, "Then what are you waiting for, come on, hurry up and ask the imperial chef to peel and boil ten pieces of corn brought by Frangji for me. .”

Xie Shen was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry right now? It's not too late to eat corn until the planting of corn is popularized."

These are all precious seeds, transporting corn from the Americas to Europe and then to Daming, how difficult the journey was, if Zhu Houzhao ate them all at once, Xie Shen would pass out.
