Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 501: The Banquet of the Crying Deer (Part [-])
The person who came was Yu Shenxing, the chief examiner of the Henan Provincial Examination.

Yu Shenxing, whose characters can be far away and whose characters are innocent, is from Dong'e.In the second year of Longqing, he became a Jinshi, selected Shujishi, and awarded editing.After Longqing's death, he participated in the compilation of "Mu Zong Shilu" as an editor. In the first year of Wanli, "Mu Zong Shilu" was compiled and edited by Yu Shenxing.

He was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. Originally, his ranking was mediocre, but he was No. 60 in the second class, but he was extremely talented and learned. Zhang Juzheng, his room teacher, valued him and recommended him to Gao Gong.

At that time, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were still allies, and after getting to know him too cautiously, he also valued him more.Later, when Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng fell from power, Yu Shenxing was not affected. Even after Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he was recommended by Gao Gong as a lecturer on Jingyan Ri.

In fact, before Gao Yushi resigned from office, he knew Yu Shenxing. After all, he was the emperor's lecturer, and he was the emperor's companion, so not only did he know each other, but he usually called Yu Shenxing "Mr. Yu".

However, the trouble is that Yu Shenxing is a person who only accepts death. He always feels that his teacher Zhang Juzheng's downfall was framed, and even if the person who framed him is not Gao Yushi, he must be related to Gao Yushi!
Why?Yu Shenxing has been a Japanese lecturer for six years, so he still doesn't know the situation in the inner court?In the inner court, apart from being highly pragmatic, who has such a strong network of contacts, coaxing the two palaces and the emperor around, calling Huang Mengyu, Chen Ju and other "inner ministers" around as servants?
Of course, this is just Yu Shenxing's opinion. Of course, high pragmatism will not use Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju as servants, and he will never lie to the two palaces and the emperor if he has nothing to do. In fact, he is 99% of the time. To be honest - deceiving people is actually the best way to do it by honest people, so Gao Yushi has always acted very gentlemanly and honest in front of the two palaces and the emperor.

Gao Yushi didn't have any good way to reverse Shen Xing's attitude. Although he knew that when Zhang Juzheng was in the country in history, Yu Shenxing still had a falling out with Zhang Juzheng because of his admission of death, but Zhang Juzheng was gone. No more, now there is only Yu lecturer and Yu examiner who has a prejudice against him who is highly pragmatic.

Gao Wushi even wondered if Yu Shenxing would have chosen to win if he knew that Jieyuan Juan was written by himself. (Wufeng’s Note: The examiner didn’t know who the test paper was before it was selected. Not only the name and other items are sealed, but also the text is a transcript. The ink roll written by the examinee will be archived.)
At this time, when Yu Shenxing came, all the new imperial examination candidates stood up obediently, waiting for the examiners and others to go up to greet them, and then it was their turn.

Gao Yushi is Xie Yuan, and he has to be the first to go forward, so it is equivalent to Shen Xing meeting with the officials and examiners of the Chief Secretary, sitting upright in the middle hall, and he goes forward as usual, walking in front of Yu Shen Xing , knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, and said in the mouth: "Students pay homage to Master Yu."

Yu Shenxing nodded, without any expression on his face, and even paused for a while, and said when the people around him couldn't help but look at each other: "Pragmatically, although your papers have been sealed and revised, but In fact, I could tell at a glance that it was your handwriting."

Gao Yushi was taken aback, and secretly complained: Old Yu, old Yu, don't take me with you if you want to die!
Sure enough, when Yu Shenxing said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.What does this mean, because someone recognized Gao Yushi's article, in order to curry favor with Xinzheng Gao, you ordered Xie Yuan to him?Shameless!
But Yu Shenxing's face was very serious, he stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling to those present to be calm, and then continued to say in an emotionless voice: "It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, because your article should be the author of this article. The leader of the session." When he said this, he looked up at the crowd, stood up suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone should know that I am not required to preside over the Henan provincial examination as a rule, but why am I here?"

Everyone was a little surprised, but they also knew that what he said was the truth. As a rule, Henan provincial examinations usually require a middle school student to be the main examiner. Sometimes the emperor may even directly choose the province's Xuezheng as the main examiner. Why this year? Highly equipped" an official from the Imperial Academy who edited and wrote on the feast day came over?

Yu Shenxing looked solemn, and bowed his hands to the north: "Yu is here, the emperor personally selected him!"

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, Yu Shenxing didn't panic at all, and continued: "Before leaving, the emperor said to me: The Xinzheng Gao family is a famous family in Zhongzhou. , I will inevitably be slandered by villains. Mr. Yu is fair, and he is not a student of the Gao family, so please choose talents for me impartially."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Gao Yushi, with envious expressions on their faces—this is His Majesty the Emperor himself standing for Gao Yushi!
The meaning of the emperor's words, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than: I think Gao Yushi must be Xie Yuan in high school, but his family's reputation in Henan is too high.You, Teacher Yu, are not Gao Dang, and even have some quarrels with Gao Dang, so if you take this exam, if the selected Xie Yuan is still Gao Pragmatic, the world will have nothing to say, right?
No matter how envied everyone was, Yu Shenxing still had a solemn expression on his face, and said indifferently: "For the sake of fairness and for the sake of the holy will, this official will not only publish the articles of the candidates as usual, but also make an exception to stay in Kaifeng Mansion Ten days, within these ten days, if you want to read Gao Yushi's ink scrolls to prove the authenticity, you can come to the official for a detailed look. In addition, the official said just now that Gao Yushi's article this time is about It should be the leader of this year, if any of you are not convinced, you can also come to discuss academic articles with me, and I welcome you."

The new imperial examiners present looked at me, I looked at you, and peeked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

why?Yu Shenxing is famous for his writing!
He is one of the representatives of "Shanzuo Three Schools" and "Qi Feng" together with Feng Qi and Gong Nai. The three of them jointly promoted the development of Shanzuo poetry circle in the early Wanli period.His Taishan poems and essays not only surpassed Wang Shizhen, a tycoon in the literary world, but also had his own distinctive characteristics. He was praised by scholars as "enough to rival the former and later seven sons".

What he said, he used half of his reputation as a guarantee for Gao Yushi!
Gao Wushi was also a little confused, and thought to himself: That's weird, Yu Shenxing is notoriously stubborn, how could he be like this?

But before he could understand the reason, Yu Shenxing changed the subject again, sat down again, and asked in the tone of a teacher: "Practical, other people will take the characters if they pass the exam. You are Jieyuan now, how come There is no sign yet? This is very inconvenient, does your father care about it?"

Gao Wushi's heart was moved, and he followed the trend and said: "Return to the teacher, the family is far away, and I haven't said anything yet. If the teacher does not give up, I will ask the teacher to give me some words."

Yu Shenxing thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, your name is pragmatic, why don't you just seek the truth with your words."

　The starting point started self-examination again. Many chapters of my first volume were blocked for no reason, but I went to check, and I really couldn’t find a reason for the blocking...
