Chapter 43
The atmosphere in the Zhuangyuan Building was already at the last moment before the volcano erupted!
Following the footsteps of the Annunciator's footsteps from bottom to top, the scholars on the third floor were about to grit their teeth!

The champion, this is the champion, and there is actually a champion among them.

Although everyone is begging the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, begging them to bless them, and the person who announces the good news will call out his name.

But what's more, he gritted his teeth and prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, and it must not be the so-and-so by his side.

If one of my friends and fellow villagers becomes the number one scholar, their resentment will turn the number one scholar building into a ghost building from now on.

'I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover. '

It doesn't matter if you don't win, but don't let your friends from the same country win.

This was the thinking of most of the people on the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building at this time.

When the happy announcer shouted "Congratulations" all the way up to the third floor, before he could speak, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, which looked like a purgatory for Shura.

That pair of eyes, red like a ghost, stared at him viciously.

His nose was heavy, and there was a piercing grinding sound between his breaths.

Swallowing his saliva hard, the annunciation man with weak legs had the trill in his voice that basketball singers could only dream of, "Congratulations, Congratulations. Congratulations to Mr. Chen Zilong and Huating Huating, No. 1 in high school!"

As soon as the name came out, countless pairs of eyes looked at it instantly.

Most of the people breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Fortunately, it's not his brother.

It doesn't matter if other people drive a Land Rover, but if my brother drives a Land Rover, then no brother will have to do it.

'Snapped! '

The wine glass in Chen Zilong's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

He never thought that the emperor would choose him as the number one scholar.

The top three in the first class must be hand-picked by the emperor.

"This this"

"Hahahahaha~~~" Shi Kefa, who was the first to react, immediately jumped up and laughed loudly, "Brother Renzhong, this is God's will!"

In an instant, the table where Gu Yanwu and the others were sitting before did not look so good in the eyes of the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building.

His eyes fell on the table where Chen Zilong and Shi Kefa were sitting.

This is the table where the number one scholar sat, and the price of drinks and dishes will increase at least twenty times in the future.

Do you want to be blessed with the champion?Just pay for it.

Good luck, add a chicken to dinner tonight.

In a daze, Chen Zilong was already surrounded by the crowd and went down the champion building.

When he came to the street outside, he was surrounded by onlookers, and half the street was beating gongs and drums.

Zhuangyuan Building simply ordered all the remaining firecrackers.

Amidst the crackling and roaring sound, the smoke enveloped half the street.

All you can see is smiling faces.

What I hear in my ears is all auspicious words.

Chen Zilong, who was a little dazed, suddenly thought of the people he saw when he was serving corvee in the south of the Yangtze River, working hard for two meals a day, but in the end they couldn't even fill the stomachs of the whole family.

Looking at the joyful scene in front of him again, he grinned, and his laughter became louder and louder, even covering the sound of roaring firecrackers.

From the time of Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen, the scholars who participated in the imperial examination would no longer be dismissed as long as they passed the general examination, but all of them were awarded Jinshi.

So the next palace test is purely a formality.

During the palace examination, Li Yunze looked at Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu and others in front of him, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

All these people in front of us in history, except Gu Yanwu who failed to resist the Qing Dynasty and finally retired to the mountains, all of them fought bloody battles with the Tartars to the end, and finally died for their country.

There were many domestic slaves of several surnames in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but there were also these iron-boned men in front of us.

Now that Li Yunze came to this world, the tragedy must not be allowed to repeat itself!

Hong Chengchou read out the arrangements for the outstanding candidates of the imperial examination. All three of the top three were admitted to the Imperial Academy, and Chen Zilong, who was the number one scholar, became the editor of the Imperial Academy.

There is an unwritten rule in Ming Dynasty, that is, non-Hanlin officials are not allowed to join the cabinet.

In other words, those who have not been raised in the Imperial Academy are not eligible to join the cabinet.

Entering such a noble yamen is basically equivalent to stepping into the road to the sky in the future.

"Long live." In the joyful atmosphere, Chen Zilong stepped forward to salute, "I don't want to enter the Imperial Academy."

As soon as this remark came out, Fengtian Hall was suddenly quiet, and then it became restless and noisy.

Is this Chen Zilong unconventional, or is he mentally ill?

"Why?" Li Yunze looked over with a relaxed face, "But I think it's too low."

The Hanlin Academy compiles from the sixth grade, which is the pinnacle for new scholars.It is higher than all the magistrates of the seventh rank in the whole world.

"That's not the case." Shrugging off Shi Kefa's pull, Chen Zilong responded with firm eyes, "I don't want to be raised in the Imperial Academy, I want to go to the local area to do things for the people."

As soon as these words came out, they offended a large group of people in a daze.

Everyone in the Hanlin Academy knew about such things, but Chen Zilong was definitely the first to say it in front of the emperor.

There are some things that cannot be said in the open.

Li Yunze didn't care about this, "Have you thought about it?"

"Yes."

"There is a severe drought in Shaanxi, and bandits and bandits are everywhere. How about you go there to be the county magistrate?"

"Thank you, long live."

"After taking office, how to do things for the local people?"

Obviously, Chen Zilong was prepared in this regard, "Long live, the minister should rectify the acres of land and recruit refugees to farm the fields. When the weather is severe and droughty, he should dig wells and open ponds to store water. Coordinate supplies to ensure that the people can eat. Clean up the lawsuit and rule with the law of Ming Dynasty."

The more he talked, the more he talked, Chen Zilong took a deep breath, "If there are thieves and bandits coming, immediately report to the governor to rescue, close the gates of the city and mobilize the people to defend the city, and fight the thieves to the end."

"It seems that you are indeed prepared." Li Yunze got up, and walked to Chen Zilong. "One thing to remember, bandits are treacherous, they often pretend to be ordinary people and sneak into the city, and suddenly attack and seize the city gate."

He turned his head to look at Wang Chengen, "Arrange people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to protect him secretly. He broke so many rules, and I don't know how many people want his life. Tell Sun Chuanting again, be careful, don't let people intimidate you." killed him."

The emperor valued it so much, it really made everyone in Fengtian Hall envious.

Xia Yunyi on the side was also very upset, and wanted to follow Chen Zilong's actions, instead of entering the Imperial Academy, he went directly to the lower palace.

But after thinking about it, if I brought it up at this time, wouldn't it be like picking up people's teeth and being looked down upon for no reason.

Xia Yunyi, who was in his early thirties, thought a lot, but Gu Yanwu stood up impassionedly, "Long live! I don't want to go to the Imperial Academy, I would like to go to Shaanxi with my brother."

If Xia Yunyi were to say this, someone would definitely say that he is attached to someone else.

But Gu Yanwu said that even if someone thinks so, it's not easy to say it directly.

After all, it's the right time to be young and vigorous!
There are only three people in the first class, and the champion and the second place have both expressed their opinions. Xia Yunyi, who is a Tanhualang, has no choice at the moment.

In this case, could he still go to the Hanlin Academy by himself?

"Long live, I don't want to go to the Hanlin Academy, I would like to go to Shaanxi."

The Imperial Academy not far away smiled wryly. The Imperial Academy, which used to be so noble, is now looked down upon by no one. What's the matter?

"I know about the fact that if you don't enter the Imperial Academy, you can't enter the cabinet." Li Yunze nodded and pointed at the people in Fengtian Hall. "From now on, this rule will be changed."

"I don't want any favors here, as long as people who can do practical things. From now on, I don't go to the state capital, and I don't want to be famous."

The color used for official uniforms in the Ming Dynasty is also particular.

Rank four and above wear scarlet robes, rank five to seven wear green robes, and those who are below rank eight or nine wear green robes.

Li Yunze's meaning is very clear, if you don't have the experience of working in a local area, don't try to be above the fourth grade.

As for the nobles and nobles of the Hanlin Academy, it's really up to you.

A group of scholars who only know empty talk have a fart.

Time flies by, and it is August of the second year of Chongzhen.

The fire in August, catching up with the severe drought during the Little Ice Age, was really hot.

Even Li Yunze, who has a firm personality, had to push the time of riding horses and archery to Youshi every day.

After riding the horse and shooting the arrow.Going to take a shower before eating in sweat is already an extremely rare enjoyment in this era.

As night falls, the palace gates are locked

If nothing else, there was an accident.

The noise came from outside the imperial study, and Wang Chengen, who was standing in the corner rubbing the air conditioner, hurried out.

"My lord~~~"

In just a few moments, Wang Chengen ran in holding a gold medal in one hand and a letter with feathers in the other, "The governor of the three sides rushed to the military report for four hundred miles!"

With the palace gate locked, the only thing that can be sent into the palace is the military newspaper.

What is military affairs, this is it.

After receiving the letter and checking the wax marks, after confirming that it was correct, Li Yunze pointed to the door of the imperial study room, "Close the door, the air conditioner has run out."

It was indeed a letter from Sun Chuanting, and it was a letter of good news.

After Sun Chuanting arrived in Shaanxi, he didn't hurry to clear up the bandits as soon as he came up.

He knew very well that if the people's livelihood problems under the severe drought were not resolved, the rogues would not be able to be suppressed.

So he carried out a year-long campaign to recruit refugees to garrison fields, stock up on supplies to train soldiers, and let the bandits wreak havoc.

Because of this incident, there are countless memorials to impeach Sun Chuanting.

Now after the summer harvest, Sun Chuanting finally made a move.

Rogues are not productive, their job is to plunder.

After the summer harvest, the rogues who were short of food from all over the place gathered to prepare for the big ticket, and concentrated their forces to raid Sanshui County.

They regarded Sun Chuanting as a shrinking turtle, and they never thought that Sun Chuanting was actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

When the thieves besieged Sanshui, Sun Chuanting, who had not moved the army before, suddenly moved.

Under the surprise attack of the army, the rogues were defeated on the spot outside the county seat.

Zijinliang, King Huntian, Wang Er, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Daliang and many other heads of thieves were beheaded, and the leader of the thieves, Wang Jiayin, was captured alive while fleeing.The rest of the bandits, including Zhang Xianzhong, were missing in the battle and their whereabouts are unknown.

Nearly 36 bandits were captured in this battle. The so-called main force of the [-]th Battalion was almost wiped out in one battle.

"You played well, as expected of Sun Chuanting."

Standing up and walking to the side of the map, Li Yunze's eyes fell on the northeast corner, "Internal troubles are temporarily suppressed, this window of time cannot be wasted."

He clenched his fist and directly hit the position of Shenyang City.

"One battle determines the outcome!"
