The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 492 Huiyuan
As for Tong Zhouyi's dismissal, it was also rumored in Beijing, but it was not detailed, and he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Then he was a blessing in disguise. Although the emperor could not have sent Tong Zhouyi because of him, it made the emperor's impression of him even deeper.

Sitting in front of the desk, the fourth prince traced the bought copybook, wrote a few words, compared it with the copybook, sighed, and threw the paper into the copper basin.

With pale lips pursed tightly, he held the copybook in his hand and observed carefully, looking at the angle of each stroke, then picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, preparing to copy a few more words.

Suddenly, there was another person in the room, "Master!"

The fourth prince was not surprised when he saw the person coming, "How is the matter going?"

"The list has been drawn up, and the emperor has approved it, and it will be posted tomorrow." The dark guard's flat voice sounded again, standing in the shadow of the corner, unable to see his figure and appearance clearly.

The fourth prince responded almost inaudibly, and then said: "Deal with that staff member, don't let people see the clue."

He will not leave a handle like his elder brother, and there will be endless troubles.As for spies, he had enough, and it would not be a pity to go to one.

The dark guard responded, then tiptoed, and disappeared from the room.

The fourth prince looked at Gu Chengyu's Ci card on the table, smiled, and muttered to himself: "You still have to thank Bengong! If it weren't for Bengong, you would have been able to go so smoothly?"

Early tomorrow morning, Gu Chengyu finished washing and washing, and waited in the mansion, because a servant would come to announce the good news later.

Mingyan has already sent someone to look at the list, and today the imperial list will be posted, which is about the previous fraud case.Gu Chengyu wanted to know how to deal with that matter, after all, he had been running around for several days before.

Suddenly Gu Chengyu heard the sound of gongs and drums in the courtyard, and he knew that it was the person who announced the good news.

"Congratulations, young master, for winning Huiyuan. The person who announces the good news has already arrived, and he is in the yard." Ming Mo was very happy, and trotted in to announce the good news to Gu Chengyu.

Even though Gu Chengyu is such a calm person, he can't help but feel a surge of excitement. This meeting is hard-won!

Gu Chengyu walked towards the outer courtyard, although Ming Mo had already asked Ming Mo to prepare the reward, but he still wanted to be there.

As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw two servants waiting in the courtyard.

"Good news for the examination! The young master of He Jingyuan's mansion, Gu Chengyu, won the No. 1 Huiyuan in the capital examination." An officer saw that the master was coming, and hurriedly notified again, this is Huiyuan!Looking at Sanjin's courtyard, rewarding silver is essential.Both of them had smiles on their faces, watching Gu Chengyu's eyes shine.

Gu Chengyu understood immediately, took the good news from the guard, and gave Mingmo a wink.Ming Mo immediately took out two red envelopes from his sleeve and handed them to the two guards.

Those two touched it and knew it was a silver ingot of ten taels.Immediately, all smiles spread across their faces, and they all congratulated Gu Chengyu: "Congratulations to Master Gu, I'm here to wish Master Gu the first grade in the palace examination."

Gu Chengyu hurriedly said modestly: "Thank you for your good words!"

The ranking of the general examination will not change greatly during the palace examination. After the palace examination, the emperor will adjust the ranking of the candidates he likes. Of course, the change is not big.Gu Chengyu is Huiyuan, and the palace examination depends on the emperor's preference, and usually he will be in the first rank, that is, the number one scholar, the second place, and the third flower, choose one of the three.

Gu Chengyu sent the two servants away, and only then asked about Mingmo, Sun Xian and the others.

"Did someone be sent to guard the Sun's and Ye's homes?" Because Sun Xian had told Gu Chengyu before that it was impossible for him to be on the list in this test, but what if he was on the list?

However, since Sun Xian said that his foundation is not solid, it is good that he did not pass the exam this time, so as not to fall behind in the ranking. When the palace exam is over and he is awarded a fellow Jinshi background, then there is nothing he can do!

There is only one word more than Jinshi and Jinshi, but the status is very different.Jinshi and Shu Jishi, who can be admitted to the Imperial Academy, become backup officials who enter the cabinet.The top three were directly admitted to the Imperial Academy, and there was no need to take an exam at all.

But Tong Jinshi can only be a parent official, and the biggest can be a fourth-rank magistrate. If you want to go up, it will not be easy.And he can't hold a post in Beijing, he can only be sent out.Therefore, if a person who thinks he is talented on weekdays becomes a fellow Jinshi, he will cry to death.

Of course, there are exceptions, unless you are appreciated by the important ministers in the court or the emperor, and you are transferred here, that is considered a blessing.

Some candidates will still worry about this for a lifetime, and feel inferior in front of Jinshi and other people.

Speaking of the Ye family, last time Ye Zhiqiu also ran around for him for several days, and then he gave the Ye family a generous gift.Sun's mother was very enthusiastic about him and let him often visit Sun's house.

Ye Zhiqiu's talents are good, even if the ranking is not high, he is not too far behind, but if he can be in the top fifty, there is still hope for Jinshi.

Gu Chengyu went back to the study and asked Mingmo to go to the two schools to announce the good news, and by the way, pass the news of whether the two schools are high schools or not.

"Young master! The boy who watched the list is back, Mr. Ye is No. 40, but the name of the second son-in-law was not found." Ming Yan glanced at Gu Chengyu, afraid that Gu Chengyu would be disappointed.

Gu Chengyu didn't mind, even Sun Xian himself was mentally prepared, they had already given up hope.This exam is so difficult, I heard that even among the 300 people who passed, there are still many who haven't finished writing all the exam questions!
Regarding Ye Zhiqiu's ranking this time, Gu Chengyu also felt that he performed well, although he had already reached the edge of the top two in the palace examination.As long as you don't take it lightly in the imperial examination, you can still hang your tail in Erjia.As long as you don't become the top three, there is no difference between the front and the back of the second top.

"I let you see the imperial list, what is written on it?" Gu Chengyu was eager to know what the yellow list said about it.

Mingyan knew some things, and she couldn't understand what was written on the imperial list.

"Anyway, I clarified the previous fraud case and said it was nothing. There are also two adults who usually ask for bribes and open the door for some people. It is two big corrupt officials who have embezzled 20 taels of silver. Read it The two of you have contributed to the country before, so Song Shujing was sentenced to exile for thousands of miles. The family members of the two prefectures, the men were all sentenced to exile, and the women were not enlisted in the Jiaofang Secretary or sold as slaves."

"Besides, Guo Shi was already dead because he framed the court's official. The man in Guo's mansion was sentenced to beheaded, and the woman was used as a military prostitute."

Gu Chengyu was astonished, the money belonged to the eldest prince, not only he knew it, but several people in the court knew it too.Could it be that the emperor did this to protect the eldest prince?
But what about the money?Is the emperor not grudge at all?Or is it that the emperor knows where the silver is at all, or that he knows where the silver is used.
