Daming talker

Chapter 431 The most high-end moves (please vote for me!)

There is no conspiracy in the world, but when Mr. Lin shouted more, there was a conspiracy.

Thanks to Senior Official Lin, all the officials in the capital knew about their plot to favor Tao Wangling before all the Zhejiang bosses knew it themselves.

After Lu Shangshu publicly backed down, even if someone was really interested, it would be difficult to gather their energy again.

People in the capital were first shocked to hear that Lin Tailai, the number one scholar in martial arts, once again won the first place in the imperial examination, and then they were shocked to hear that the third place in the imperial examination wanted to be the number one scholar.

There are so many surprises that I can’t keep up with them.

Two days later, all the Jinshi went to the Imperial College in the north of the city to do three things.

The first thing is to receive the red court clothes used in the ceremony; the second thing is to learn the etiquette of the Chuanlu Ceremony; the third thing is to worship Saint Kong.

On the way to the Imperial Academy, Dong Qichang asked Lin Tailai: "There have been a lot of rumors in the past two days. What should we do if the lies become true?"

Lin Daguanren boasted: "I still have the most advanced political fighting moves that I have yet to use!

Friends are very curious about what the most advanced move is, but Lin Daguan said that it would not work if he said it.

As long as I use this trick, I can suppress all evil heretics. Even if the lie is about to become true, I can still reverse it! change! Do it! Kun! "

Lin Tailai pointed at Langzhong and said loudly: "I can't trust you! I'm worried that a villain like you will tamper with this court uniform!"

"What did you say?" Yu Langzhong came back to his senses and asked subconsciously.

But at this point, Langzhong was at his wits' end for the time being.

Although he didn’t understand why he wanted to change, Dr. Yu directly refused: “I won’t change!”

According to the rules, the top three in the palace examination stood alone in the front row, so Lin Daguan finally had the opportunity to look at Tao Wangling up close.

"There are rumors that someone in the imperial court wants to replace you with the number one scholar?" Lin Daguan asked with a smile.

Arriving at the Imperial College, the largest gathering place for scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the new scholars gathered and lined up.

Every time he saw Lin Tailai, he was forced to recall his "foolishness", which made him feel sick.

Looking at Lin Tailai standing in the first place today, Yu Langzhong's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.

Tao Wangling replied helplessly: "I have absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just a matter of luck that I can get third place."

Tao Wangling: "."

Under the background of Lin Tailai, who is still jumping around and getting better and better, Yu Langzhong feels that he was like a clown when he was jumping up and down before.

Official Lin nodded and said, "For the sake of Prime Minister Shen, I believe you."

During the examination, Dr. Yu was the assistant to Shen Shangshu and was responsible for arranging examination affairs.

When Doctor Yu was distracted, he suddenly heard Lin Tai say: "I want to change my clothes."

At this moment, the formal attires for tomorrow's grand ceremony are being distributed, and Mr. Lin is the first to receive them.

The person in charge of today's affairs is Yu Kong Jian, a doctor in the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Rites. This is the core branch of the Ministry of Rites, managing court rituals, schools, examinations and other affairs.

But he pointed at the bright red court uniform that was going to be issued to him and said rudely: "I said change it!"

Then he added: "However, Zhao Kuangyin in Chenqiaoyi also said that he does not want to be the emperor, but the soldiers must wear yellow robes."

Damn it! Yu Langzhong suddenly became furious, and his anger filled his tank! You just open your mouth and don’t talk about any basic logic, right?

Official Lin directly grabbed Doctor Yu's collar, lifted him up with force, and asked, "How dare you curse? The officials of the Ministry of Rites are so rude."

Other officials nearby hurriedly advised, "Lin Zhuangyuan! It's not that I don't want to change, but that there is nothing to change! This is the one that suits your height and body shape, and the other common styles don't fit!"

Lin Tailai then abandoned Langzhong Yu and said to the others: "My peers, bear witness for me. If there is a problem with the court uniform and I am embarrassed, Langzhong Yu must be responsible!"

Later, Dr. Yu sadly discovered that among the more than 300 new scholars, except for those in the Gu family class, they all showed a certain degree of indifference and alienation towards him.

Unexpectedly, the rookies learned the first lesson so quickly. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, only taking sides.

That night, a low-key middle-aged scribe entered the Lin Mansion, claiming to be sent by Zhang Jing, the admiral of Dongchang.

"The factory owner heard that Lin Zhuangyuan is very rich." The middle-aged scribe said straight to the point, "As long as one thousand taels, I won't ruin your business."

Official Lin was very surprised. Are you asking me to collect protection money? I have never had this experience in my life.

Regarding Zhang Jing's reputation in Dongchang, Lin Daguan naturally knew that he was very famous for being greedy and amassing money. Although this man was impeached many times, he escaped punishment each time by donating gold and silver to the emperor.

It is very consistent with Zhang Jing's behavioral logic to charge protection fees to himself, but Lin Daguan will never accept it.

The middle-aged scribe advised: "The imperial list will be released soon, and Lin Zhuangyuan doesn't want to be misled at the last moment, right?

One thousand taels is not much. This is the preferential price given to you by the manufacturer. Isn’t it good to buy one with peace of mind? "

Lin Daguan directly shouted: "Get out!" I have never heard of any time traveler who has to pay protection fees in order to be the number one scholar. How can he maintain his image of sitting in the palace if he returns to Suzhou?

Besides, the eunuchs in the Wanli period had nothing to fawn over, and there were no eunuchs of the level of Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian.

Emperor Wanli was wary of ministers because of Zhang Juzheng, why not be wary of eunuchs because of Feng Bao? Zhang Jing didn't have much ability. He only started his career because he followed his godfather to defeat Feng Bao.

One day later, the last and most solemn passing ceremony of this year's competition was held.

The Golden Palace Ceremony is the first-level ceremony of the imperial court, on the same level as enthronement, wedding, New Year's Day, and Longevity, and is very grand.

More than 300 new scholars lined up in the Huangji Hall, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

At this time, the emperor was temporarily stationed in the Zhongji Hall behind the Huangji Hall. This time Emperor Wanli was diligent and showed up to attend the ceremony.

According to the procedure, all palace examination examiners will bring the gold list and meet the emperor here first.

At this time, the top three on the gold list were still empty. The top three test papers were opened and sealed at the scene, and the specific ranking of Sandingjia was known, and the final suspense was revealed.

Then the Sanding Armor information was entered into the gold list, and everything settled from then on.

If the emperor has any ideas, he may adjust the specific ranking of the Three Tripods before filling out the list, such as exchanging the first and third place. Many rumors about changing the top pick come from this link.

This can also explain why in the stories of changing the number one pick, most of the stories are about changing the first place with the second and third place, because you can only choose the number one pick among these three people, and the others have already filled in the list, so it is difficult to change .

Of course, this year is special. The top three test papers have long been opened and the rankings have been circulated.

However, in order to respect the procedures, the top three positions on the gold list were still blank, and they have been left until now to be filled in by the emperor, which is regarded as a symbol of the emperor's selection of scholars.

Shen Shoufu made a prelude to ask him to fill in the list, while Emperor Wanli asked the ministers, "Do you have anything else to say?"

As the saying goes, the power of God is unpredictable, and no one knows why the emperor talks so much. Normally, ministers would not mind this business and just pretended not to hear.

But the eunuch Bingbi, eunuch and admiral of Dongchang, Zhang Jing, who was sitting next to him, was a second-rate person and loved to express himself. He said, "I heard that the reputation of the number one Lin Tailai is not very good."

The ministers all glanced at Zhang Jing, "What's the matter with you here?" Is it because Lin Tailai repeatedly beat Jinyiwei Official School?

However, Emperor Wanli snorted coldly: "Zhang Jing, you still concluded before the palace examination that Lin Tailai can't write eight-part essay!"

Zhang Jing: "..."

Oops! Could it be that because of this incident, he lost the emperor's trust in his intelligence business capabilities?
In fact, all the ministers felt that Zhang Jing could not be blamed for this matter, but no one spoke for Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jingxian knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am clear! I am only telling the truth today!

According to statistics, 60% of the gang fights in Xicheng in the past half month were related to Lin Tailai!
How can a person like this, who wreaks havoc on the streets, be considered the best literary scholar in the world? "

Emperor Wanli shouted again and asked: "Why set up your factory guards? Why don't you care about the editorial office?"

Zhang Jingzuo said to him: "The official school also went to the scene to take care of things, but Lin Tailai ignored him and beat him away! Besides, there is no edict, so it is inconvenient to take people directly!"

Emperor Wanli dropped Zhang Jing and asked his ministers, "Do you have anything to say?"

The minister still pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even Lin Tailai's enemies did not speak. Who knows whether the emperor is fishing?

It seems simple to jump out and add insult to injury, but if the emperor is found to be in collusion with Zhang Jing, he will suffer a big loss.

Zhang Jing went on to slander and said: "The Factory Guard School is the emperor's personal army. Lin Tailai despises the Factory Guard School so much that he is contemptuous of His Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Situ, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly stood up and said categorically: "Among these three people, the number one scholar can only be Lin Tailai, and the other two are not suitable!"

Shen Shoufu glanced at Wang Situ, thoughtfully.

I heard that Lin Tailai had the most advanced moves at his disposal, which were enough to reverse all disadvantages in front of the emperor and wipe out all the evil heretics. Is he going to see it now?
In anticipation, I heard Wang Situ continue to say: "The second name is Wu Daonan. The first two characters of his name have the same sound as Wudao, which means there is nothing!

Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that with a name like Wudao, how can he be Wen Kui? "

Shen Shoufu: "???"

Is this the most advanced political fighting technique that Lin Tailai boasted about? Isn’t this ignorance and superstition?

Wang Situ was still saying: "As for Tao Wangling, the word "Wangling" in his name is terrifying when I think about it carefully!

Age means the number of years, so what is the meaning of age? Can you tell your age at a glance? Or are you looking forward to the end of the year?

How can your Majesty, who has lived for thousands of years, choose such a name as Wen Kui? "

Shen Shoufu: "..."

High-end, too high-end, it can kill with one hit!

In the end, Wang Situ made the final decision: "Among the three, only Lin Tailai's name means good luck and beauty, which means good luck is coming, and it is in line with the nine yuan of auspiciousness, so the number one winner must be Lin Tailai!"

Emperor Wanli couldn't help laughing and decreed: "Mr. Shen, please fill in the list according to the established ranking!"
