The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 53
After Lin Han came out of the court hall, he returned to the Imperial Academy in an official sedan chair.

Lin Han said that he would not do this kind of thing by taking advantage of the disaster situation, but he was a good player in history, "using disasters to lead the group to tell twelve things."

It is not enough to state one thing, but several more things must be stated.

The chaos in the court and China in the past few years must have something to do with this fire, otherwise they would not be called literati.

"Lin Shilang, Zhang Zhou, the candidate outside, and the second son of Duke Cheng's residence have been waiting for you for quite some time."

The person who came to pass the message to Lin Han was an assistant teacher of Guangyetang named Liu Shun.

This person is Lin Han's direct descendant.

On the same day, Zhang Zhou reported to the Imperial Academy, intending to use an official certificate to handle his admission to the Northern Imperial Academy. Of course, he did not intend to stay in the Imperial Academy permanently, but just came to make a point, and then left with Zhu Feng.

"Zhang Zhou?"

Lin Han became angry when he heard this person's name.

"One Jie Yuan, is he a Confucianist or an alchemist? To enter Beiyong as a tribute, he must study for three years before he can be awarded an official. How can he be recognized as a scholar! Let him go back and study for a few more years!"

Lin Han has a temper and behaves well.

You Zhang Zhou's official position was obtained by the alchemist's set. You are not an official, but you want me, Lin, to look at you high?
Liu Shun said: "Let him go back first for the humble job."

Naturally, Lin Han also knew that he was speaking out of anger. Regardless of whether Zhang Zhou was appointed to an official position or not, he would admit it if he got an official position and had an official certificate in hand.

At most, it would delay Zhang Zhou for a few days, and frustrate Zhang Zhou's spirit.

"Where's Lizhan?" Lin Han asked.

Li Zhan is the surname of his second son Lin Ting. He is 26 years old this year. He was a candidate for the Fujian provincial examination in the eighth year of Hongzhi. This time he came to the capital to participate in the general examination.

In history, he was also a Jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi. He was fifth in the general examination and No. 2 in the imperial examination.

Liu Shundao: "Second Young Master went out with Miss, and said he was going to hold a literary meeting."

"It's outrageous! The Beijing exam is still a few months away, and he still has the mind to go out to socialize? What's the point of a girl going out to show her face? Go and call her back."

"Yes Yes."

Liu Shun replied, thinking in his heart, no one knows where, where can he find it?

……

……

the other end.

Zhang Zhou, who was waiting to go through the admission procedures, was told that Lin Han would not be able to come back that day and asked him to come back later.

Zhu Feng was very upset when he heard that, and even felt angry on Zhang Zhou's behalf: "Is it necessary for the son of the state to offer wine in person before he can enter Yong? What kind of rules is this?"

Zhang Zhou didn't want to talk to the people in the Imperial College. It was obvious that a doctor of the Five Classics said that Lin Han had returned, and Liu Shun went in to report. Now he said that Lin Han would not come back today. Do you think others are fools?
You don't want to see me, I don't want to see you yet, do you really think this is some kind of geomantic treasure?I'm too lazy to come when I pass the Jinshi exam and invite me to come.

The two left the Guozijian.

The surrounding avenues are clear, and Zhang Zhou also plans to go back to look at the venue and start a business.

But at this time, Sun Shangqi from Jin Yiwei's hundred households brought people over.

Zhang Zhou guessed that it was related to the disaster in the palace, so he asked, "Sun Baihu, what's the matter?"

Sun Shangqi said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't want to go anywhere, first find a place nearby and wait. Eunuch Dai, the supervisor of ceremonies, will arrive later. It is His Majesty who wants to call you into the palace."

Zhu Feng glanced at Zhang Zhou, and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to the fire in Qingning Palace?"

"Isn't there a teahouse over there? Go in and have a rest, and wait for someone."

Zhang Zhou Zhou looked leisurely, pointing to a small three-story building not far away, with a plaque of "Yuesheng Tea House" hanging on it. For Zhang Zhou, this meant a lot.

A group of people went to the teahouse.

……

……

On the other side, Dai Yi had already come out of the palace, urging the carriage driver to pick up Zhang Zhou.

In the car with him, there is also Mou Bin, the commander of Jin Yiwei, who is in charge of the commander.

Behind the carriage, there were many Jin Yiwei riding horses, riding along the road in carriages.

"This piece of Xie Yuan is also true. If you don't wait at home, why did you go to the Imperial College? Running north and south, I'm tired." Dai Yi was also a little anxious.

Regarding the fire, after a whole night of tossing, the errand of picking up people could be completed by running one place, but now I have to go to two places.

Mou Bin on the side said: "Grandpa Dai, let the low-ranking people go forward for such matters."

"Don't." Dai Yi hurriedly said, "Others are fine, this one, we'd better go in person. There are still very difficult things..."

Mou Bin was more straightforward, and said directly: "But it has something to do with Tianshi Li?"

Dai Yi glanced sideways, and said helplessly: "From last night to now, Your Majesty has never mentioned Li Guang. We people will take photos in the future, but if that Zhang Jieyuan... After this incident, Li Guang did not fall, and he still Have a chance to gain a foothold in the capital?"

Mu Bin thought for a while and nodded.

Historically, after the death of the little princess from smallpox and the fire in Qingning Palace, Li Guang committed suicide.

But because of Zhang Zhou's appearance, the little princess got smallpox, but she didn't die. The Qingning Palace caught fire, but it was predicted in advance that no one was injured. Li Guang might still want to fight, at least until now there is no sign of self-destruction .

……

……

Jump into the teahouse.

Originally, Zhang Zhou wanted to take people to the third floor to see the scenery, but someone stopped him at the stairs on the first floor and stopped him, saying, "Sorry, there is a discussion upstairs, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Zhu Feng dissatisfied: "Why are you called idlers? See if we don't look like scholars or what?"

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "You talk about your way, can we go up and sit down without disturbing?"

"no!"

The other party answered very simply.

Zhu Feng was about to explode. After all, he came out this time with shouts and hugs. In addition to the Jin Yiwei at the door, if this happened in front of Zhang Zhou... can he still be called a "little father-in-law"?Let me, Commander Zhu of Jin Yiwei, how will I get along in the capital after the incident?
But it was Zhang Zhou who pulled him back and sat on the first floor near the door: "Don't make trouble, wait until you enter the palace."

Zhu Feng said: "Brother Zhang, you still have a good temper. If it were me, it would be..."

Zhang Zhou curled his lips and poured him a cup of tea.

It's as if someone stopped me from going upstairs, but not you, and you have learned to push the contradictions on others?
"Drink tea!"

Just as the people here sat down, someone came down from the upstairs, and a group of people shouted down, at least 30 people, and when they came up, they surrounded Zhang Zhou's table aggressively.The first person pointed to Zhang Zhou and said, "He is Yingtianfu Township Examination Xie Yuan, I have met him before!"

Zhang Zhou and Zhu Feng didn't drink any tea and stood up immediately.

"What?"

The Jin Yiwei brought by Sun Shangqi and the subordinates brought by Zhu Feng also rushed over from the crowd.

This group of people all look like Gongsheng students from the Imperial College, all of them are well-dressed, but they have nothing to do with grandeur... Zhang Zhou pondered, probably these days, scholars rarely see sunshine, and they are a little malnourished. A bunch of sick people.

"Hey, I'm Zhang Bingkuan. He's new here and doesn't know the rules. He's just here to have a cup of tea. Didn't he disturb you?" Zhang Zhou didn't want to get entangled with this group of people based on the principle that more things are worse than less things.

One of the young men, who looked very masculine, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is Jiangnan Xieyuan? I am Lin Ting, a student of Beiyonggong, and I am here to ask for advice."

Zhang Zhou looked over.

This person was considered normal among a group of "consumptive ghosts", tall and broad-shouldered, but what caught Zhang Zhou's attention even more was a "Xiaosheng" with red lips and white teeth standing behind him.

It's not that Zhang Zhou likes this tune.

It was because after Zhu Feng came down from this group of people, his eyes never moved away from this person's face.

Zhang Zhou really wanted to say, Zhijie, your saliva is about to flow out, can we restrain ourselves?
Walking with you can easily ruin my reputation, you know that?

"Study, see you in the examination room!"

With a polite smile on Zhang Zhou's face, he cupped his hands.

"What a big tone, do you know who this is? This is the second son of Guozilin Jijiu. I want to discuss knowledge with you, just to save face!"

Immediately someone beside him gave Lin Ting a voice.

Zhang Zhou was very surprised, this is standard equipment when going out, do you still need to bring a bragging?
Then Zhang Zhou gave Zhu Feng a wink, which means... everyone is bragging, so it's time for you to come here?
Zhu Feng immediately understood, and said arrogantly: "What's wrong with the son of the country's sacrificial wine? This is Daming Yingtianfu Xiangxie Yuan, you will never be able to compare with him in this lifetime!"

"Wow!"

Originally, the two sides were at war with each other, and Wen Wu was the first. If a literati encountered a soft persimmon, he would not be able to show his ability if he didn't go up and pinch it a few times.

And because Zhang Zhou is Jie Yuan from Ligong, he will be regarded as a rotten persimmon among soft persimmons, and he is guilty of committing crimes. He finally caught you, why don't you hurry up to compare you to show your talent?
Zhu Feng actually felt that he was very sincere.

Zhang Zhou treated the little princess, it was Jie Yuan from the south of the Yangtze River, and he will still be valued by the emperor in the future... It is not an exaggeration to look down on you, but to state the facts.

But to the other party, the meaning of this challenge is too obvious.

"Brother Zhijie, keep a low profile, low profile!"

Zhang Zhou also felt that Zhu Feng's bragging was a bit too much.

The number of people is not dominant in the first place. If you still do this, you don’t plan to let me enter the Imperial Academy’s territory in the future?
Although I don't want to go myself, I may have to go in the future. How can I face this group of people alone in the future?Didn't they tear me apart?

Lin Ting was not too angry, but said with a little disdain: "Zhang Jieyuan, you are Jieyuan from Yingtian Mansion, and here are tribute students from all over the world, most of them are tributes, and they are almost equal in talent and learning. I don't know if you are interested, Come upstairs with me to discuss the Tao?"

"No time to."

Zhang Zhou was also very sincere, but his words were not fundamentally different from Zhu Feng's.

"Get out, get out!"

At this moment, the loud shouts of rough men came from outside, but a large number of Jinyiwei came in, and behind them were Dai Yi and Mou Bin, who was in charge of the Jinyiwei.

Now this group of Gongsheng students were scared, because the people who came were not in plain clothes like Sun Shangqi and others, but pure flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives, this posture alone was enough to bluff people.

"Zhang Jieyuan, Mr. Zhu."

Seeing Zhang Zhouzai, Dai Yi didn't pay attention to the group of Gongsheng students, because it had nothing to do with his errand.

Zhang Zhougong cupped his hands: "My father-in-law is here, is there something wrong?"

"Let's say on the way, on the way...the carriages are all ready...these are..."

When Dai Yi raised his head, his eyes were a little blurred, and he suddenly realized, why are there such a group of scholars around?

Zhang Zhoudao: "I'm here for the first time. I'm discussing knowledge with Gongsheng students from all over the world. I'm planning to sit down and talk about it. Isn't that why you're here? Let's go!"

"Zhang Jieyuan can get along well with the local scholars as soon as he comes. Your popularity is really good."

Seeing this respectful appearance, even Zhu Feng beside him was overwhelmed, guessing that the fire in the palace was the result of what Zhang Zhou had said. He kept pulling on Zhang Zhou's clothes, trying to say something to Zhang Zhou, but he couldn't say anything, even He didn't even bother to look at that "little son" with red lips and white teeth.

Dai Yi personally led the way.

Only then did Zhang Zhou turn his head and smile at Gong Sheng who had just come down to cause trouble, with an expression of "what can you do to me", and followed Dai Yi to go out.

This group of tribute students was also very confused at this time.

Didn't you say that you have to come down and compete before you learn?
Where did this group of guards come from?And who is that old eunuch-like man?Why did you take people away?
Don't play by the rules.
