Chapter 585
In the first month of the 17th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing fell ill again and again habitually.

Qin Dewei is one year older, now he is 20 years old, and has three children, the years have gradually left vicissitudes on his face.

20 years old is the crowning year in etiquette. This is a very symbolic watershed age. From now on, Qin Dewei will never be a teenager, and there will be no elementary school students in the world!
After the first month is over, in the early spring of February, the [-] National Examination will be held.

Qin Xueshi kept a low profile and did not get involved in this imperial examination.Moreover, the reconstruction of "Emperor's Precepts" has come to an end, and Scholar Qin has put all his energy into supervising the work.

At the end of the third round of the examination, Qin Dewei presented the final draft of the new edition of "Emperor's Precepts" to the palace.

This revision work lasted nearly two years in total, and it was completed ahead of the stipulated deadline due to the strong supervision of Bachelor Qin.

The new version of "Emperor's Precepts" has a total of more than [-] characters. The biggest change is the addition of a new volume "Presenting the Emperor's Precepts".

This work took Qin Xueshi a lot of effort and energy, for which he once wrote a poem to commemorate:
"The crystal curtain is rolling with snow, sitting on the books and reading late. Xinlu Yanhong is also proofreading, and I don't know the cold when I pick up the jade tube."

This quatrain, which shows the coquettishness and pride of the Imperial Academy, aroused some sympathy in a small area within the Imperial Academy.

Only Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji, two low-level coolies dared not speak out, but for the sake of their own future, they could only swallow their anger.

At the end of February, Emperor Jiajing decreed that Qin Dewei, because of his meritorious service in studying the "Emperor's Precepts", would be a fifth-rank right concubine.

This made the ministers have to sigh with emotion that Qin Dewei really deserves to be a "Jiajing man".

It stands to reason that a Hanyuan Ci minister can only be promoted once once he writes a book.

And at the end of the year before last, Qin Dewei presented "Presenting the Emperor's Precepts" alone, which made Jiajing Emperor Longyan very happy and promoted Qin Dewei ahead of schedule.

After the completion of the repair, Qin Dewei, who had paid in advance for promotion, could not be promoted again, but the emperor let him be promoted again.

It is equivalent to repairing a book once and being promoted to an official twice. For a 20-year-old official fifth-rank minister, this kind of treatment is no one else.

Comparable to Qin Dewei's treatment, only Zhang Fujing (璁), the former Chief Assistant, who entered the cabinet after six or seven years in office, and Xia Yan, who was promoted to Minister of Rites in one and a half years.

In addition, Xu Gu and Zhao Zhenji ascended to heaven, followed Qin Dewei through several promotions, and both of them were promoted again from the sixth grade Xiuzhuan.

After adding You Shuzi, Qin Dewei's full official title has more and more words, and he can definitely be called growing up and powerful.

If he was writing memorials, he should call himself "Fengyi Dafu, Youchunfang Youshuzi of Zhanshifu, Bachelor of Imperial Academy Attendant, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and Admiral Siyiguan, Minister Qin Dewei".

There are indeed many words in the official title, and it is tiring to write, but according to the format requirements of the memorial, the official title really cannot be omitted.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful, and the challenging Emperor Jiajing would be angry.Some unlucky people were dismissed from office by the harsh Emperor Jiajing because they were lazy and did not write their official titles. The lesson is not insignificant.

When Qin Dewei was promoted, the examination list also came out.Qin Dewei looked at the list, and the No.1 in the test is a celebrity, Yuan Wei from Zhejiang.

In the original historical time and space, this person was one of the four Mesozoic "Qingci Prime Ministers" of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Looking further down, Qin Dewei was very disappointed. Among his close disciples, only Xing Yifeng was admitted.

With this group of insects, how can we make progress together?

Although the acceptance rate of the general examination is only about one-tenth, but so many rushing to the street still makes Teacher Qin a little upset.

This also shows that only Xing Yifeng's articles have real skills.

Those other people, except for Gui Youguang, including Wu Cheng'en, originally failed the Juren examination in history!
In addition, Qin Dewei also saw the name of Wu Chun, the son-in-law of Xia University scholar, on the list, and he could only "tsk tsk" about it.

Among the acquaintances and disciples, regardless of the Chinese style or those who have failed, they all gathered in the Qin Mansion to meet them.

After all, Teacher Qin is happy to be promoted, so it is also appropriate to congratulate him as an old student.

Qin Dewei was too lazy to talk to others, so he could only comfort Gui Youguang with kind words, and asked with great concern, "What are your plans for the future?"

Gui Youguang replied honestly: "I have failed the teacher's expectations, and I have no face to stay in the capital again, and I am going to return home."

Teacher Qin immediately asked to stay: "Don't leave in a hurry, stay for a month or two, I want to guide your article."

A smell of citric acid permeated Wu Chengen, Wang Fengyuan, He Liangjun and others. They didn't care about Teacher Qin's guidance, but they cared about Teacher Qin's attitude!
Gui Youguang looked confused. Now that he has passed the exam and failed the exam, what's the point of guiding the essay?

If we talk about the next exam, it will be three years later. Is it too early to guide now?
Teacher Qin waved his hand, telling the other Street Puzzlers to do whatever they wanted, and gave them the address of the familiar bustard in Xiyuan Hutong.

We are all adults, go heal yourself!
If you report Qin Dewei's name, you will get [-]% off; if you report Feng En's name, you will get [-]% off; if you report Xu Miaojing's name, you will get a fracture.

Early spring was still a bit chilly, Qin Dewei slammed the door of the study shut, turned around, and smiled charmingly at Gui Youguang.

Gui Youguang took a few steps back in fear, feeling like he was being targeted by a hunter.

Qin Dewei asked very kindly: "Zhenchuan, have you heard of Qing Ci?"

Gui Youguang: "."

Qin Dewei tentatively asked again: "Do you want to write Qingci?"

Gui Youguang replied subconsciously: "I don't want to!"

What kind of stuff are those Qing Ci? They were written only after three teachings and nine talents. Isn't he a writer who writes Qing Ci?
Qin Dewei said without any objection: "No, you want to!"

Gui Youguang tried his best to maintain the last dignity of a writer: "Teacher, I"

Qin Dewei asked aggressively, "Do you still want to call me teacher in the future?"

"Teacher, I can't write well!" Gui Youguang said struggling.

Teacher Qin turned a deaf ear to it, and made arrangements for himself: "During this time, you can stay at my house and write a hundred poems that satisfy me before leaving.

Write about various subjects, praying for rain, praying for snow, praying for sunshine, praying for blessings, praying for children, praying for disaster relief, praying for a good harvest, etc. "

Gui Youguang begged again: "Teacher! I haven't written Qingci, I really don't know how to write!"

Qin Dewei said confidently: "It doesn't matter, you practice your pen and write first. When I have time, I will ask Taoist Taoist Taoist from the Apparition Palace to guide you. He is a master appointed by the emperor.

You have to believe in your own potential and my teacher's vision of seeing people.effort!I like you! "

Gui Youguang, a 30 years old man, almost cried.

At the beginning, Mr. Qin hinted that he would show the emperor what he wrote, but he hated himself for being ignorant and fearless, for not being able to penetrate the dark inside story.

Watching Gui Youguang leave with the help of the servants, Qin Dewei felt very happy, the ethics of feudal society are also beneficial.

A powerful teacher has spoken, and under normal circumstances, students dare not disobey.

After the test is over, it will be the palace test to determine the final ranking.

With Qin Dewei's qualifications, he couldn't be an examiner, but just acted as an emotional background board in the Golden Palace Biography Ceremony.

Standing in Fengtian Hall, Qin Dewei felt a lot of regret.Three years ago, I was the absolute protagonist, but today the protagonist is replaced by someone else.

In the past three years, when everyone talked about the number one scholar and Wen Kui, they generally defaulted to him as Qin Dewei.

Today, however, there will be newcomers appearing, who will become the default number one scholar and Wenkui, as the saying goes, a generation of newcomers replaces the old ones.

Qin Dewei will no longer monopolize the Hall of No. [-] Scholar in the Hanlin Academy in the future!
In Qin Dewei's wild imagination, the roll call ceremony began.

No.1 champion, Mao Zan!

This is also a writer, Qin Dewei has to admit that although Emperor Jiajing has many faults, his literary aesthetic ability is really good, and the selected people are all very strong in humanities.

As for what happened to Gui Youguang in history, it's really no fault of Emperor Jiajing, Gui Youguang always failed the exams, and the papers couldn't be sent to the emperor at all!

No.2 No. [-], Xing Yifeng!
Hearing this, Qin Dewei was very pleased, and couldn't help showing a kind smile, which was enough to prove that he had a discerning eye!

That is, student Xing has become acquainted with the word "two". He was the second child in the monthly examination of the county school, the second in the provincial examination, and the second in the Jinshi!
No.3 Tanhua, Yuan Wei!

Needless to say, this is also known as quick thinking and outstanding writing, so it is not surprising that Emperor Jiajing favored it.

There are not many things worthy of Qin Dewei's attention in the future. The son-in-law of Xia Dashi won No.10 in the second class, a very delicate ranking, tsk tsk.

After the end of this year's imperial examinations, the Hanlin Academy also ushered in a group of newcomers, and Bachelor Qin has become a real senior.

This day, Scholar Qin came to the Zhuangyuan hall, but saw someone who had arrived early, walking around in circles a little cautiously, who was it if it wasn't the new champion Mao Zan?

Qin Dewei took the initiative to greet and said: "I have always used this place alone, and today I finally waited to share it with others. I don't know if I can adapt."

Mao Zan replied honestly, "If senior Qin is afraid of being disturbed, then I'll go to the editorial hall to squeeze in."

Qin Dewei quickly dissuaded him: "Don't! If you go to the editorial hall, then in the eyes of others, wouldn't it be that I am bullying you?"

As a rookie, Mao Zan respectfully asked for advice: "I heard that newcomers must first study literature and history when they enter the Imperial Academy. I hope Senior Qin will teach you how to start."

Qin Dewei felt a little confused, how should Xin Hanlin study?He didn't study any literature and history at the beginning.

Mao Zan asked for advice again: "I heard that the Imperial Academy pays great attention to the relationship between seniors and juniors. How should newcomers get along with seniors? How to seek support from seniors?"

Qin Dewei is a little confused, does the new Imperial Academy want to curry favor with seniors?He didn't try to please anyone at first.

Mao Zan really wanted to ask for more advice, so he asked, "What is the specific affairs of the Imperial Academy, and how newcomers should participate in the affairs, I hope Senior Qin will not hesitate to give advice."

Qin Dewei was once again confused, how should the newcomer participate in the affairs?
Anyway, I just went to build artillery without doing my job properly, and then the emperor asked him to preside over the revision of books. This way is not suitable for newcomers.

As a result, Mao Zhuangyuan asked three times, but Qin Dewei didn't answer a single one, and the atmosphere in the Zhuangyuan hall was a bit awkward.

This made Mao Zhuangyuan a little suspicious. Could it be that Senior Qin was a little transparent with no influence in the Imperial Academy, so he didn't know anything about the affairs of the Imperial Academy.

At this moment, Xinke Tanhua Yuan Wei stood outside the door of the Zhuangyuan Hall, greeting Mao Zhuangyuan.

Both of them are from Zhejiang, and they have often acted together recently.

After Mao Zan went out, he heard Yuan Wei say: "At this time, many seniors are gathering in Keting in the backyard to give lectures, let's go and have a look!"

Mao Zan had also heard of Hanyuan Keting's name, so he went to the backyard with Yuan Wei.

Sure enough, seeing 30 people gathered around the pavilion, Mao Zan and Yuan Wei greeted the seniors from the same province in Zhejiang, and stood outside to listen.

The topic of today's talk is poetry. An old man, Sun Chengen, who can be ranked in the top five qualifications in Hanyuan, took out a few poems he wrote recently, and evaluated them with everyone.

Senior Sun loves to write poems, the kind that produces a lot, and everyone is not surprised by this.

Xinke Tanhua Yuan Wei listened, and couldn't help but interjected: "If the poems of the old seniors are in the style of pavilions and pavilions, the structure is too small; if they are lyrical, they are too crafty!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Yuan Tanhua who was on the periphery.

Yuan Wei is a person who is proud of his talents by nature, and continued to say without paying attention: "It just so happens that I recently wrote a poem about visiting the Taoist Palace in the capital, please correct me!

The bleak and strict palace is sparsely populated with thousands of trees, and the furnace below is bound to freeze and smoke slightly.The wind wears the cloud chime along with it, and the pine leaks the ice and flowers the feather coat."

After everyone finished listening to Yuan Wei's poem, they said "Oh" expressionlessly, and turned back one after another.

Yuan Tanhua was a little confused, why did everyone ignore people so indifferently?

According to the normal reaction, it would be either subdued or irritated, even if he pretended to be generous with a few words of encouragement, or retorted, it was all expected.

But what is the meaning of everyone being so unresponsive and treating themselves like air?
Senior Sun Chengen pointed to Xinke Tanhua, "Boy, don't you just want to imitate Qin Dewei? This old man is no longer surprised!

The old man just wants to tell you that not everyone can learn Qin Dewei, if not, he will end up imitating others! "

Yuan Wei: "."

Mao Zhuangyuan, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide in surprise. Does Senior Qin have such a great influence?Isn't he the little transparent Hanyuan he imagined?

Returning to the Zhuangyuan Hall in desperation, Mao Zan was carefully reorganizing his language, intending to continue to ask Senior Qin for advice.

Suddenly, Kong Mu stood outside the door and said to Qin Dewei: "I just heard the news from the outside that the first assistant Li Shi is seriously ill, so hurry up and report to Xueshi Qin!"

Mao Zhuangyuan couldn't understand, why did he report this matter to Senior Qin?Could Senior Qin still meddle in cabinet affairs?
I only heard Senior Qin sigh and stood with his hands behind his back looking out of the window: "There are so many troubles in the temple! It's time for me to uphold morality and stabilize the court situation!"

Mao Zhuangyuan was in a trance, thinking that he was sitting in the cabinet.

The news of Li Shoufu's serious illness spread like a whirlwind through all the yamen.

Strictly speaking, the presence or absence of Li Shoufu does not actually have much impact on the daily operation of the government.

Because everyone knows that Li Shi is the chief assistant in name, but now the real talker in the cabinet is the powerful Xia Yan.

And Li Shi, a native of Hebei, has a loyal and humble personality, never competes with others, and is a good old man among good people.

Except for the talented Qin Dewei, no one has ever seen Li Shoufu get angry with anyone.

All in all, Li Shoufu can be regarded as the most low-key chief minister of Ming Dynasty, so he can tolerate Xia Yan, the second in command, in power and maintain the harmony of the cabinet.

But in any case, Li Shi's age is here. Once he becomes seriously ill, he may die at any time.

The disappearance of the first assistant is no small matter, and it will definitely trigger a chain reaction of high-level personnel in the court. The only difference is whether it is big or small.

And Qin Dewei knew better that the opportunity for Yan Song's rise has come, and only when Li Shikong is out of the cabinet, Yan Song will have the chance to fill it!

And Yan Song will never let go of the opportunity of this generation of newcomers to replace the old ones!
