I'm a big dick

Chapter 124
The names of the first and third persons are sung three times.Then the Honglu Temple officials respectively introduced the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua out of the class, and knelt down on the royal road.

"Sir Liu Lishun, thank you Long Live Long En." Liu Lishun's voice trembled with excitement.

If history has not changed, Liu Lishun will even fail the Jinshi this time.

It was not until the seventh year of Chongzhen, when he entered Beijing to take the exam for the tenth time, that he was appreciated by Chongzhen and won the first prize. He was already 52 years old, and he was recorded in history as the number one scholar who died for the country.

Now, nearly 40 years old, is the prime of life, and the time to have life experience.

Young, mature, from a poor family, and a disciple of Master Yuan, Zhu Youxiao still gave him the number one pick after comprehensive consideration.

"No. 2 in the Enke Palace Examination in the Second Year of the Apocalypse...Wen Zhenmeng!"

The roll call was still going on, Wen Zhenmeng was led out of the class, knelt down next to Liu Lishun, and kowtowed to thank him.

If history had not changed, Wen Zhenmeng would have been the No. [-] scholar in this subject, but he didn't know it, and he was so excited because he won the second place.

"No. 3 in the Enke Palace Examination in the Second Year of the Apocalypse...Feng Yuanbiao!"

"Minister Feng Yuanbiao, thank you Long Live Long En."

"No. 1 in the Enke Palace Examination in the Second Year of the Apocalypse...Lu Xiangsheng!"

"No. 2 in the Enke Palace Examination in the Second Year of the Apocalypse...Wen Anzhi!"

...............

The singing list is still going on, but it is only sung once, and it does not lead to classes.

The so-called No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua are just a few days of glory, and will eventually be lost in history.How many celebrities and ministers in history came from these top three?

There have been more than 700 champions in Chinese history, but except for Yang Shen, Liu Gongquan and others who achieved relatively high achievements, most of them are regarded as mediocre and hard to pass on.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao seems to remember that Wen Tianxiang was the only one who was born as the No. [-] scholar.It seems that it still has a good name.

It can be seen that a person's final achievement is closely related to his hard work and opportunities, and it cannot be determined in one high school.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.I hope that Lu Xiangsheng can have this calmness and freedom, live up to my expectations, and grow up as soon as possible.

Zhu Youxiao is most optimistic about Lu Xiangsheng, but he hopes that Lu Xiangsheng can embark on the road of martial arts. If he is selected as the number one scholar, I am afraid that he will rest his mind and continue to advance on the road of civil service.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao designated him No.4.And this No.4 also has a name in history, it is called "Chuanlu".

In other words, Lu Xiangsheng's ranking in history is not as good as this, and I have been promoted.

After Wen Jinshi's roll call is over, it belongs to Wu Jinshi.

If the martial arts exams to be held in autumn are added, two martial arts champions will be produced this year.Because there was no imperial examination in the previous martial arts, this time the champion of martial arts can be called the first in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Wu Jinshi and Wen Jinshi participated in the "Da Chuanlu" and the subsequent "Royal Street Praise Officials" and other ceremonies, and they were treated equally.

Raising the status of warriors, emphasizing both civil and martial arts, the emperor's intention is very clear.

Today's number one martial arts champion is named Shao Darui, and being able to take part in the examination is already a proof of his level of education.In the comprehensive assessment of strength and riding skills, the results are excellent, and the strategy theory is also good.

After the roll call, Zhonghe Shaoyue played "The Chapter of Xianping", and the civil and military Jinshi performed three kneeling and nine kowtow rituals.Then the hall officials of the Ministry of Rites will hold the list, use the cloud disk to carry the list, lead the way with a yellow umbrella, and go out of the Gate of Supreme Harmony and the Gate of Meridian.

The emperor can go back to the palace, today he is just showing his face.

Next, all Jinshi, princes and officials followed the list and hung up outside the East Chang'an Gate (today's east side of Anmen Gate).

The number one scholar led the Jinshi to watch the list, and then there were activities such as boasting officials on the imperial street to motivate the students to be self-motivated and to show that the imperial court attached great importance to the acquisition of talents through the imperial examination.

Of course, for the common people in the capital, this is another good opportunity to watch the excitement, and they are quite enthusiastic about it.

In the past, there was no way to boast, and now there is no limit to thinking.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, seeing Chang'an flowers in one day.

In ancient times, scholars had very few ways out, and most of them studied hard and studied hard, just to get into the exam one day.

For more than ten years, or even 30 or [-] years, the best time is spent here, and the ecstasy after the dream is realized can be imagined.

Tomorrow, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will hold "Qionglin Banquet" and "Wuwu Banquet" to celebrate the civil and military Jinshi.Celebrating by eating and drinking is probably the most common form in the world.

But these hustle and bustle have little to do with Zhu Youxiao.Scholars can show off for two days, but he still has a lot of things to deal with.

Also busy were several new cabinet members, Sun Chengzong, Li Qiyuan, Tao Langxian, Bi Zisu, Xu Guangqi, all trusted and valued courtiers by Zhu Youxiao, who were responsible for implementing the young emperor's reforms.

"A new Jinshi joins the Ministry to observe politics?" Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and agreed, "Then let the ministers choose from them, not too many."

Although Zhu Youxiao wanted Jinshi to start as local officials, there were not enough officials to arrange them for a while.It's okay to go to various departments for internship first.

Sun Chengzong cupped his hands and said: "Long live, yesterday a tribute sent a letter to the Ministry of War to recommend himself, with the ambition to seal the wolf and live in Xuxu. After reading it, I feel that it is worthy of education."

Oh, Zhu Youxiao was very surprised, why did he turn to generals before the results of the palace examination came out? Could it be that seeing Wu Jinshi is also valued?
Seeing the emperor's doubts, Sun Chengzong couldn't help laughing wryly, and explained: "It's too much to respect literature and suppress martial arts, but if you turn to a general as a Jinshi, it's different..."

Civil respect and military inferiority are the long-standing ills of the Ming Dynasty.At the same rank, military commanders also have to salute civil officials and place themselves below them.Even military commanders who wrote letters were often reprimanded by civil officials.

In his early years, the famous general Yu Dayou wrote a letter to the procurator for the punishment, and the procurator said angrily, "How can a military academy be worthy of writing a letter?"

So Yu Dayou was beaten up, and he was deprived of his military post from Qianhu.Shen Yourong also had this kind of experience, although it wasn't that miserable, it can be seen that the status of warriors is low.

From the point of view of the civil servants, you guys are rude warriors, you can just lead the army to fight, and you can write a letter and say something?If you can do it, what do you want us to do?
But a well-known military general is different. He is a Confucian general with both civil and military skills, and civil officials dare not look down on him.

Before Shen Yourong joined the army, his uncle Shen Maoxue was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Wanli, so he persuaded his nephew to take the imperial examination first.But Shen Yourong didn't listen, starting from martial arts, he embarked on the road of generals.

Of course, Shen Yourong's journey was bumpy because of this, and he suffered repeated blows.

It turned out to be like this. After listening to Sun Chengzong's explanation, Zhu Youxiao understood the Jinshi's mind, but he didn't blame him. Instead, he asked with great interest: "What is the name of this tribute, and he thinks long-term."

Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "This person is the Chuanlu appointed by His Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng from Changzhou."

"Lu Xiangsheng?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It is indeed worthy of cultivation, Master Sun, please spend more time cultivating it!"

Sun Chengzong said: "The purpose of this humble official is to choose him to join the Ministry to watch politics, and then go to study martial arts."

"That's great." Zhu Youxiao agreed.
