Daming heir

Chapter 252

More than 7000 candidates participated in the scientific examination, which was the largest number in the past 25 years in Ming Dynasty.

In previous years, there were no more than 4000 people at most, but this year there are so many references from various sources, all because the imperial court said that the current subject should be extensively collected materials to fill the increasingly vacant court and local official vacancies.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty could obtain the title of student by passing the county examination, and had a certain social status.

After going through the government examination and the hospital examination, the winner will be a scholar, and will initially have political status.Do not worship the official, but sit with the official.

And as long as you pass the provincial examination and become a Juren, you will automatically be qualified to become an official of the imperial court, and wait for the appointment of the imperial court as a candidate.

But most of the juren, even if they can enter the officialdom through various means, at most they will be the prefect of a place in their whole life.

That is to become a Beijing official, at most not many department heads.

Most of the juren entered the officialdom, and most of them just moved around in the local area. At most, they were lucky enough to be a member of the chief executive officer before retiring, or a seat for the chief executive officer to participate in politics.

And once they pass the imperial examination, after taking part in the imperial examination, they will be named on the gold list, and their political status will be completely different.

The first-class No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua can directly serve as bachelors of the Imperial Academy, and the top two of the second-class can become Jindian and Yudian Chuanhe. , or directly appointed by the imperial court as local officials.

This year, Enke, the court, has recruited and appointed officials on a large scale. Everyone is waiting for how big the gold list will be.

The nine-day test is long and long, and fast.

Amidst the autumn rain, Hongwu's 25-year Enke Examination slowly came to an end.

However, Yingtian City became even more lively.

All the stores and restaurants in the city had procured drinks from all over the place a month ago, in order to prepare for the thousands of Juren lords to drink after the trial.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, new clothes have been made a month ago, and the girls almost bought out all the rouge shops in the city.

Everyone was staring at the pocketbooks, and of course their bodies, of the thousands of lifters who had gone all out to finish the exam.

It even led to the rise of juren loans, and the lenders did not worry about whether these juren could pay back the debts.As long as they are on the list, they will be master Jinshi, officials of the imperial court, so naturally they are not afraid that they will run out of money.Even if they don't win, which family of these Juren masters is short of money?
This means that after the annual test, Ying Tiancheng's catering and entertainment industry will usher in a wave of industry output value surge.

And in the process, the candidates who finished the exam, no matter what they did, went to the city to find flowers and ask willows, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, meet with friends, and even visited fellow examiners, chief and deputy examiners.

It can be described as a small feast for three days and a big feast for five days.At the banquet, these teachers of the same age and teachers were talking and laughing, singing and dancing.

And these banquets for setting questions, opening curtains, and taking papers occupy the short few days between the nine-day general examination and the day when the results are released. The four books and five classics in the first three days, and there is no time to pay attention to the test papers of the candidates in the next six days.

The articles of the sages can be written well, and some imperial edicts, judgments, and policy questions can also be written well.

Unless it's all Tang Bohu's unlucky guy.

The northeast corner of Jiangning County is a good place.

In the north of the East Garden, there are three scenes of "Laiyan Mingtang", "Taodu Linliu" and "Longqiao Sending Prostitutes" among the 48 scenes of Jinling.

Yep.

Except that coming to Yan Ming Tang was related to the former residence of Yan Ming Tang of Wang Xie's family, the other two were related to women.

It is probably because of this reason that there are many famous Qinhuai buildings along the river, and there are more famous Qinhuai prostitutes.

What's more interesting is that across the river are the Confucius Temple, Jiangning Fuxue, and Gongyuan.

Perhaps, it may be because young scholars and scholars are all young and angry people.

Lishe Bridge spans between Gongyuan and Dashiba Street.

On the south bank, there are houses and pavilions one after another.

Every time the Chinese lights come on in the city, you can see across the river behind the open windows of these carved buildings, there is a slender, charming prostitute, pinching flowers, eyes full of spring.

Several Juzi who had just finished the nine-day examination and attended a banquet for fellow examiners at noon came to the Qinhuai River, and they were sitting in the private room on the second floor of the Linhe River.

In private, three or five people gathered at a table, each of them was accompanied by one or two good-looking prostitutes, and on one side there were other prostitutes playing the qin and plucking the lute.

Some of them raised their heads and poured the fine nectar from the wine glass in the hands of the prostitutes around them into their stomachs, and then returned half a cup to the prostitutes, and finally asked several contemporaries: "You say, what will the current imperial court do?" How many people do you take to fill out the list?"

Before the examination results are released, the examiners of the examination need to select qualified and excellent candidates to fill in the list, and then the list will be released the next day, and the re-examination will be held in a few days. After the completion, the palace examination will be held. Master Jinshi.

"One out of ten can be regarded as filling the world's official vacancies as the imperial court said." Someone pulled his head out from the bulging chest of the prostitute in his arms, and shouted with a flushed face.

So someone straightened up from under the table between the prostitute's legs, and exclaimed: "That's six or seven hundred double-ranked Jinshi!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and spat.

Under the candlelight, a curved shadow was seen floating in the air.

The blushing Juzi said sullenly: "A few years ago, the number of applicants for each subject examination was generally three or four thousand, and the imperial court took two or three hundred. It is probably about one out of ten, and this year it must not be lower than this number."

Suddenly, the wine table shook.

After a while, I saw a man playing with his robe and crawling out from the bottom of the table, his eyes were bloodshot, he glanced at everyone present, and then said: "Tomorrow is the day when the list will be announced, and when the list is released at Chenshi, we will know how many people have been recruited. How many people can make the list."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another petite prostitute, who was wrapped in a coat and sat down slowly with his legs crossed.

The Juzi said to everyone with ambiguous eyes: "Didn't you say that you are a teacher today, and the science and literature are prosperous today. How can it be prosperous? There are only so many officials, and Wenchang in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Currently, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, everyone should be happy earlier."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what the peers at the scene thought, he directly pulled the prostitute who just got out from under the table, and then casually pulled a prostitute from the side, and left Yashe.

The rest of the people looked at each other and smiled, and they left the scene with the prostitutes in their arms.After the show, no one leaves, but there are many houses downstairs for the host's house to stay in.

October [-]th.

Release day.

Early in the morning, just before the fourth watch, people began to arrive in front of the Gongyuan, waiting in front of the huge public notice board for posting the gold list.

Not only the candidates who took the exam, the relatives and servants of the Juren family, but also the good people in the city, the servants of the gentry and powerful families who were going to announce the results and inform the family to arrest the son-in-law.

By the fifth watch, the entire Gongyuan Street was once again crowded with people.

From time to time, there will be bursts of exclamations, already noisy shouts.

It was standing outside the crowd, and some people near the river were squeezed into the river.

The government servants had been waiting here early, and bamboo poles were inserted into the river to fish out these bastards.

But it is always worth noting that more people will fall into the water.

It was not until Chenshi that officials and servants from the Ministry of Rites, Hanlin Academy, Gongyuan, Yingtianfu, and Yingtian counties came out of the Gongyuan.

The guards arrived at the front of the list wrapped in a thick and long roll of yellow paper.

There are benches and ladders, and there are servants standing in all directions, up and down.

Several buckets of paste were brushed on the wooden board, and then the guards sent the yellow paper to the far right, and glued the edge of the paper to the list from top to bottom.

All from right to left, stepping back from the circle a little bit, you can see that the whole page is exposed to the sight of the onlookers.

"Out!"

"Two rankings are out!"

As the red characters on the yellow paper were revealed in front of the crowd, the entire Gongyuan Street erupted into a commotion.

If it weren't for the government servants who stood in front of the gold list, these people would probably be able to knock down the guards who continued to withdraw from the circle to post the gold list.

"Look! The name is out!"

The people at the front of the crowd pointed to the top of the gold list.

"Zhang Xin!"

"It is Mr. Zhang from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, who won the first place in the current examination (formerly the No. 27 scholar in the [-]th Jiaxu Division of Hongwu)!"

"Hurry up and go to the Zhejiang Road Guild Hall to announce the good news and ask for a reward!"

Before the servants who announced the good news in the tribute courtyard went out, someone in the crowd pushed away the people around them and rushed to the Zhejiang Road Guild Hall.

Another human said: "Secondly, who is Master Jingqing from Shaanxi Province (formerly the second place in the Jiaxu Division of Hongwu in 27 years), go to the Shaanxi Province Guild Hall to announce the good news."

Then someone exclaimed: "The third is Master Dai Deyi from Fenghua, Zhejiang Province (formerly Hongwu 27th Jiaxu Ke Tanhua), and they went to the Zhejiang Road Guild Hall to announce the good news."

But in an instant, someone shouted: "Master Dai is not in the Zhejiang Dao Guild Hall."

"Where is Master Dai?"

"I've been staying in the Fuchun Building for the past few days."

"Sure enough, it's him!"

"Go to Fuchun Building to announce the good news."

For a while, the people on Gongyuan Street turned their backs on their backs, but they were full of joy.

The names of the top three came out, and the rest began to focus on the list behind.

And at this time.

The tallest building of the Confucius Temple next to Gongyuan West Street.

Zhu Yunxi, dressed in swaying clothes, stood quietly behind the railing at the highest point of the building, calmly watching the lively scene on Gongyuan Street not far away.

There is also a directory in his hand.

Withdrawing his eyes from Gongyuan Street, Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and opened the directory. Although the style of the pavilions and pavilions is less flexible, it is always smooth and stable, making people comfortable to browse through.

Behind him are the commander of Jinyiwei Jiang Yu, the deputy Qianhu Sun Cheng, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhan Hui, the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ren Hengtai, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Walking in the Wenhua Palace, and Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

Downstairs are many guards in brocade clothes.

Both Jiang Yu and Sun Cheng had indifferent faces, their eyes were constantly flickering, and they looked down on Gongyuan Street from the upper floor, looking rather covetous.

Xie Jin fell behind and glanced at Ren Hengtai, who was also called over early in the morning. Today's old man's day to relieve his anger, anyone who can be here at this moment knows what will happen next.

Only Zhan Hui's face was unclear, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Zhan Hui, and handed the list in his hand to him: "Shangshu Zhan, you are the Ministry of Officials, and you are also the Metropolitan Procuratorate, check this list, if it is correct, Jin Yiwei will arrest people according to the list .”

Zhan Hui raised his hands in trepidation and held the directory in his palms.

He dared not and was unwilling to open the list to read, the names on it were the names of those who were on the gold list in front of the Gongyuan at the moment.

Leak the question.

fraud.

hidden.

Clique.

All kinds of accusations flashed through Zhan Hui's mind, and a layer of cold sweat was already oozing from his back in this late autumn, which made him very upset.

Zhan Hui raised his head with pale lips, and finally nodded heavily.

"The minister has checked everything correctly, and no omissions have been made in vain."

I am finished!

After saying this sentence that was correct, Zhan Hui's heart was ashamed, and he had made a death feud with scholars all over the world.I am afraid that even after death, he will be cast aside by scholars of all ages.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "The imperial court is here, the world is safe, and the minister is relieved."

Slightly comforting Zhan Hui who was erected by himself, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Jiang Yu: "Catch him."

Jiang Yu nodded, then bowed and retreated.

After a while, most of the Jinyi Wei Tiqi in the Confucius Temple flocked out to Gongyuan Street.

And at this moment, the entire Yingtian City started to move.

In addition to the Jinyiwei on the side of the Confucius Temple pressing towards Gongyuan Street, there are also countless Jinyiwei on the other side of Gongyuan Street.

At the same time, countless Jinyi Guards also appeared on the entire Qinhuai River, rushing into the houses and pavilions arbitrarily, and each leader held a list in his hand.

Looking around the entire Yingtian City, more guards in Jinyi led the officers and soldiers of the closest relatives and rushed into the guild halls and private houses of all the ways in the world.

There are also countless Jinyi guards, officers and soldiers, without any scruples, rushed into the homes of the examiners, fellow examiners, examiners, examiners, and servants of the Gongyuan.

"Dai Deyi Enke, a Juren in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, committed fraud. The imperial court issued an order to arrest him. The idlers were dispersed. Violators will be investigated and prosecuted according to the law!"

A group of guards in Jinyi rushed into the Fuchun Building by the Qinhuai River with a murderous look, one after another flying fish suits made the hangover guests, guests, and prostitutes flee.

When the word Enke cheated, the candidate for the Jinke examination who was also in the Fuchun building spat out the filth that was full of last night.

Not long after that, they heard the names of themselves and others read from the mouths of those officers and soldiers, who were also accused of cheating by Enke.

Dunhuafang, near the southwest of the county government office in Shangyuan County, is a group of private houses next to the Shengping Bridge.

A group of Jinyiwei gathered in front of a house with cold faces.

The gate of the house is written to Liu's house.

From Qipin's Zhongshu Sheren, it is still not possible to hang the government characters on the lintel.

The team was led by Jin Yiwei's already hundreds of households.

This person stood in front of Liu Sanwu's house, and said in a deep voice, "Is this Liu Sanwu's house?"

Immediately, one of his subordinates shouted loudly: "Report to Baihu, confirm that it is correct, this is the home of Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe."

"Enter."

Baihu said in a low voice.

Immediately, four Jinyi guards stepped forward and kicked heavily on the gate of Liu Sanwu's house.

Then, dozens of guards in Jinyi flashed their Xiuchun knives like tigers and wolves, and rushed into Liu Sanwu's house.

After a while, the resounding roars of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers came from the courtyard.

"Liu Sanwu, the chief examiner of the current examination and a member of Zhongshushe, Enke cheated, formed a party for personal gain, and conspired against the law. The evidence is conclusive. Jin Yiwei is ordered to arrest people and arrest the whole family. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
