Chapter 42

As soon as the Tiangou eclipse came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Countless impeachment memorials flew towards Li Yunze, basically all impeachment of Qin Tianjian.

The reason is simple, because Qin Tianjian failed to calculate this solar eclipse through the calendar.

In this ignorant age, a tengu eclipse was considered a bad omen.

Qin Tianjian calculated it in advance, but fortunately, there is a psychological preparation or something.

If it is not calculated now, it will naturally become a broken drum beaten by thousands of people.

Quite naturally, rumors began to appear that the Son of Heaven was immoral and that Heaven had given him a warning.

There was no way, since Li Yunze was determined to save Daming instead of being an emperor who met the standards of civil servants, he was destined to be like this.

The standard image of the emperor in the minds of civil servants is that of ruling by hanging down and ruling by doing nothing.

It would be good for the emperor to be a mascot, and just leave everything to them.

Li Yunze was unwilling, and he wanted to drag Da Ming out of the quagmire. Naturally, he offended many people.

Now it is quite normal to take advantage of the opportunity of Tiangou's eclipse to criticize.

Looking at the impeachment memorials on the desk that were stacked more than a foot thick, Li Yunze directly waved his hand to signal, "Take them all away, and you don't need to send the impeachment memorials in the future."

Tiangou eclipse is a natural astronomical phenomenon. If others don't understand it, how can he not understand it?

He knew very well that he was impeaching Qin Tianjian on the surface, but as long as he agreed, the next step would be to persuade him to relax the suppression of parasites on a large scale, otherwise God would send another disaster and so on.

As long as these guys can find the slightest gap, they will immediately drill a big hole.

"Draft the decree, and order Xu Guangqi to also be in charge of Qin Tianjian."

It is no problem for Xu Guangqi to take charge of the Qin Tianjian as the elder of the pavilion, and it is very suitable.

The only thing Li Yunze was worried about was that Mr. Xu Ge should not introduce those missionaries to him.

After all, Li Yunze didn't have the slightest liking for those guys who were missionaries on the surface, but thieves and spies secretly.

China's unique tea, silk, and porcelain three major technologies were stolen by them.

"It is said that the Tiangou eclipse is from the north to the east, and it is a warning from the heavens. The Tartars are my confidantes, and they signaled that I will wipe out the Tartars. I have already responded to the warning from the sky, and I will march myself soon!"

After arranging these things, Li Yunze focused on the imperial examination.

"What did Hong Chengchou say over there? Has the result come out?"

"Lord Hong and Lord Sun are already waiting outside the hall."

"Come in."

Hong Chengchou and Sun Zhixie came in with a lot of test papers.

"Long live, this Enke examination paper has ended." Hong Chengchou presented the list of examination papers in his hand, "This is the ranking drawn up by the ministers, please Long live hand-picked."

After receiving many test papers, Li Yunze directly opened the one on the top without any nonsense.

The vague name has been disassembled. It is Jian Shiguang from Shanyin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Li Yunze said that he had never heard of this name.

Turning over the test paper, the part about the Law of the Ming Dynasty can only be said to be quite satisfactory.What really shines is that the handwriting is very beautiful, and the stereotyped essay is also extremely neat.

As for the arithmetic, geography, and history that Li Yunze specially added, that is to say, the history is well written, and he wrote a large article citing classics.

Mathematics is barely qualified, and geography is obviously in the elementary stage.

After all, it is No.1 introduced by the examiners, so it can be regarded as genuine.

Put down the paper, "Where is Gu Yanwu's?"

"The third one is." Hong Chengchou responded, "The test paper is excellent. When I see him young, I think Tanhua is more suitable."

Tanhualang is already very remarkable.

Li Yunze didn't respond either, and directly pulled out Gu Yanwu's paper and opened it.

After that, he carefully read all the papers sent by Hong Chengchou and others, and then took out a piece of paper with his name written on them to compare them one by one.

"Where's Chen Zilong's paper?"

Hong Chengchou was startled when he heard the name, and subconsciously looked at Sun Zhixie beside him.

When the examiners were discussing the papers before, Chen Zilong did a good job in the papers, but he spoke out boldly and complained about many shortcomings, which made everyone disliked, but he didn't dare to dismiss him easily.

It was Sun Zhixie who said that Chen Zilong was a remnant of the Eastern Forest, and that if he was chosen, he would be very unhappy.

Someone asked puzzledly, 'If he is not happy, why should he be allowed to take the exam? '

Full of confidence, Sun Zhixie responded, "There is no other, show the Holy Ener." '

That's why everyone decided to throw it away.

Well now, Li Yunze didn't want to show his grace at all, he just wanted to read Chen Zilong's paper.

There is no way, Hong Chengchou, who is the examiner, can only bite the bullet and respond, "There are so many arbitrary words in this person's paper, and he has been deposed."

"bring here."

On the day when Enke released the rankings, the entire capital was in a state of restlessness.

Scholars who came from all over the world to rush for the exam were all fidgeting and waiting for the verdict of fate.

Since the appearance of the imperial examination, this is the best way for poor children to jump over the dragon gate.

If there is anything else, it is to go to the battlefield to fight with your life.

In the eyes of many scholars, going to the battlefield is not as easy and safe as reading.

When the list is about to be released, no scholar can calm down.

Even Gu Yanwu, who was praised by Li Yunze face to face and was almost certain to hit the ball, was still drinking water nervously.

"Brother Ning, you must be in high school, why are you nervous?" Inside the Zhuangyuan building, there were familiar scholars joking and joking, and everyone laughed with different expressions when they heard the words.

At such a tense moment, I don't know if I will hit it, but Gu Yanwu is almost certain to be in high school, so his emotions are really mixed.

Most of the scholars gathered at the Gong Yuan to wait for the first-hand news, while the well-known or confident scholars gathered here at the Zhuangyuan Building with an excellent name.

Everyone ridiculed Gu Yanwu, who had changed the word Zhongqing to Ningren, to ease the tension.

Who told him to be given a fan by a sage at such a young age?

The three people at the same table with Gu Yanwu have a good relationship, and they also made jokes to relieve the pressure in their hearts.

The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers can be heard outside from time to time, and the announcer shouted "Master So-and-so High School", which would cause a round of cheers.

Watching the scholars downstairs one after another leave the Zhuangyuan Building and rush to the Tribute Court, these people on the third floor became more and more nervous, and no one even dared to speak.

Chen Zilong, who was the most free-spirited in mentality and thought it was impossible, joked with a smile, "What's the matter, brothers, where is the pride of talking about the world in the past? Could it be that they were all wasted in the Zuiyue Tower?"

The scholars smiled one after another, forcing jokes to show that they didn't care.

While talking and laughing awkwardly, they heard the noise of blowing gongs and drums coming from outside again, and the Zhuangyuan Building also immediately ignited the firecrackers that had been prepared.

Amidst the noise, the announcer ran up to the third floor and shouted, "Congratulations to Mr. Shi Kefa Shi, No. 9 in the second class of high school!"

Shi Kefa, who was sitting in the corner, stood up in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that he was actually hit.

Chen Zilong, who was sitting across from him, also smiled and stood up and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Brother Xian."

All around people rushed forward one after another, all kinds of congratulations.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Shi Kefa quickly took out the silver and handed it to the announcer.

When he sat down again, Shi Kefa, who had been depressed before, sincerely took care of his friend, "Don't be anxious, brother, you will definitely hit it."

Chen Zilong shook his head casually, "I know my own family affairs, and there are many shocking theories written in the examination papers. The examiners will choose me only when they are blind. Brother Xian, you should go to the Gongyuan quickly."

"Do not."

The stubborn Shi Kefa immediately shook his head, "I want to wait for Ren Zhongxiong to go to high school together!"

While talking, another good news came, "Congratulations to Mr. Wuxi Duyinxidu, No.3 in the top two of high school!"

Sitting on Gu Yanwu's left hand, Du Yinxi looked up to the sky and screamed.

The people who were still congratulating Shi Kefa before flocked to Du Yinxi's side one after another, another round of flattery and envy.

It didn't take long at all, before the firecrackers lit for Du Yinxi were finished, the person who announced the good news climbed up to the third floor again.

"Congratulations to Laiyang Zuo Maodi Zuo Master, No. 1 in the second class of high school!"

Zuo Maodi, who was sitting opposite Gu Yanwu, sat there in a daze.

He actually really went to high school, and he was the number one biography!
Everyone around turned to congratulate him, and all they saw were smiling faces.

"Okay, okay." It wasn't until someone reminded him that Zuo Maodi, who had finally come to his senses, hurriedly took out the silver taels to reward the good news.

Many scholars surrounded Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi, all kinds of congratulatory words were like a torrent of river water.

One step to the sky, that's all.

Gu Yanwu quietly put his hands under the table, he was afraid that others would see his trembling hands.

There are four people in a house, two of them are in high school, if he fails in the end.
"Brother Ning Ren." Xia Yunyi, who was sitting on his right hand, comforted with a smile, "Don't worry, I believe you will."

Before the words were finished, there was another sound of firecrackers downstairs.

The footsteps of 'thump thump thump' directly raised the hearts of everyone on the third floor to their throats.

The red-faced Annunciator rushed up to the third floor, and was greeted by many eyes that seemed to swallow him up.

He took a heavy breath, and the announcer shouted loudly, "Master Xia Yunyi, Hexi Huating, No. 3 in the first class of high school!"

'wow~~~'

Just now when Zuo Maodi passed on Lulu in high school, everyone was already amazed.

I didn't expect Tanhua to come from here!

Xia Yunyi, who was still comforting Gu Yanwu before, suddenly jumped up after a brief daze, "Hahahahahaha~~~hahahahaha~~~"

Jumping and jumping, like a madman.

Zuo Maodi, who had calmed down a little, smiled and handed out silver taels to the announcer.

At this moment, the expressions that everyone looked at Gu Yanwu were extremely exciting.

The sage himself bestowed the fan, and the examiners said it was a workable material.

However, at this time the good news has already arrived at Tanhua, and there is no good news from Gu Yanwu.

If this fails, it will become a laughing stock.

Some people have even started whispering, "The fan given to Tang Yin by the sage, this is an allusion." '

Wiping his forehead with trembling hands, Gu Yanwu, who was already sweating profusely, was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.

This pressure is really too great.

In an extremely weird atmosphere, everyone suddenly heard firecrackers being lit outside again.

Following the sound of footsteps going upstairs, everyone subconsciously looked at Gu Yanwu.

If it wasn't for you, wouldn't it be possible to be the No. [-] scholar?Or, really lost?

The announcer rushed up to the third floor and took a few breaths.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu Yanwu, Kunshan, No. 2 in the first class of high school!"

As if an agreement had been made, many scholars on the third floor heaved a sigh of relief.

This big suspense finally came to the ground.

Gu Yanwu, who was trembling, bent over and buried his head on the table, covering his face and crying bitterly.

The pressure is too great, and once I can vent it, I really can't control my emotions.

Everyone's faces were strange, and they had already announced that they had reached the second place in the list, and there was only one champion left.In other words, most of the people on the third floor have already failed.

At this time, not many people came forward to congratulate Gu Yanwu, they just looked at the table enviously.

The big shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building looked at the table with a smile.

The four scholars sitting at this table are No. 3 in high school, Tanhua, Chuanlu and No.[-].

There is no doubt that if you want to sit at this table in the future, you will have to increase the price.

It's a little regretful that if No. 3 of the second-class team is the number one pick, it would be perfect.Drinks and dishes sell for ten times the price and there are people sitting there.

In the corner, Chen Zilong, who had already looked away, raised his wine glass with a smile, "Brother Xian, congratulations."

Shi Kefa looked sad and indignant: "Why! Brother Renzhong is outstanding in learning, understands the suffering of the people, and dares to plead for the people, why did he lose the rank?!"

Chen Zilong is very free and easy, "This is God's will, we will wait"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "cracking" firecrackers outside the building again.

At this time when the second place is out, the firecrackers are the number one!
