The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 216 Undergraduate student, it must be me, Tang Yin! (six thousand five chapters)

Trying is no less than going to jail.

The examination room of Gongyuan is called "Haoshe", and there is one room for each examinee.

The hall is three feet wide, four feet long, and six feet high.More than one square meter is limited.

Candidates not only have to rack their brains to write beautiful articles in this space of a little more than one square meter, but also have to solve the problem of eating, drinking and sleeping.

Let me talk about eating first.

Candidates need to bring their own food, and the Gongyuan does not provide it.

In Daming, there were poor scholars, but there was never a poor scholar.

Even if the poor rats in your family pass by with tears in their eyes, as long as they win the Juren, some people will "contribute" fields, real estate, gift money, and daughters to be your concubines and maids.

This group of Juren usually eats delicious food and spicy food, but when they arrive at the examination room of the Gongyuan, they can only eat pot helmets or fried rice and boiled water.

It's nine days.Only by bringing your own pot helmet and fried rice, which are non-perishable and not easy to eat food with diarrhea, can you ensure the smooth completion of the three exams.

Let alone sleep.

There is a wooden board in the house, which can be put down to sleep.But the house is only four feet long.To lie down and sleep is to curl up into a prawn.

Almost all candidates will choose to sleep on the table.

Sleeping for eight nights in a row, no matter how healthy your body is, you will suffer from backaches.

Next is to drink.

The Gongyuan places a bucket in each house.Every day there will be buglers to help fill the buckets.

Candidates wash their faces and drink water every day, all counting on this bucket of water.

Of course, what Gongyuan provided was boiled water.Prevent the elites of the empire from failing the exam due to drinking unboiled water and diarrhea.

Finally, Lahoza.

There is a Gong barrel in the house.Shit and piss are all in the pail.As a result, the entire tribute courtyard stinks as soon as it arrives in Chunwei.

The buglers push the dung carts every day, and come to help empty the buckets.

Experienced candidates will hold back their shit for a day, get up early and pull when Maoshi is approaching.It saves the number room from stinking all day, and even stinking the answer sheet.

Chang Feng has already passed the exam three times, and this is the fourth time he has participated in the exam, so he has a lot of experience.

On the second day of the first scene, he pouted his buttocks and precisely pulled a lump of poop into the bucket.

Not long after, the trumpeter came to empty the pail.

Chang Feng thought to himself: It's still good as the ancients said, when heaven sends a great mission to a person, one must first work hard on one's mind and will, exhaust one's muscles and bones, starve one's body and skin, and deplete one's body.

There are still eight days.Take your time.

Originally, Chang Feng answered the questions very smoothly.On the third day of the first session, he was given a difficult time with the last question on the scriptures.

This question is tricky and weird.Chang Feng didn't know how to solve or accept the problem at all.

Can't answer, and can't hand in blank papers.

Handing in a blank paper is a matter of attitude.Once you hand in the blank paper, you will lose the eligibility for Bagong.

I can only bite the bullet and answer the questions with neat handwriting.

It took Chang Feng an hour to compose a scripture by force.

He comforted himself: I can't answer such a tricky and weird question, and I'm afraid few others can answer it.

For the seven questions in the first session, candidates will do seven essays correspondingly.Written on seven answer sheets.Count as one answer sheet.

In the evening, the bugle soldiers came to collect the scrolls.

For the next two exams and the final six-day exam, Chang Feng felt that his performance was average.It seems that this time he will lose his name again.

He admired those old Juren who often took seven or eight subjects.

There was a third-class Jinshi in the last subject, who was over 60 years old.The examination took eleven subjects for a total of 33 years.

From a heroic young man to a gray-haired old man.Finally, the title of the gold list.

In order to commend the old Jinshi's perseverance, Emperor Hongzhi made an exception and let him enter the Imperial Academy as an academic officer. Of course, he was also afraid that he would be old and faint, and if he was released as a county magistrate, the people of the county would be harmed.

All in all, the imperial examinations are like carrots tied to the eyes of scholars by the dynasties of the past dynasties.

The carrot is the head of the donkey.With a running head, the donkey will not rebel.

After the trial, the gong finally sounded.

Chang Feng left the Beijuan Room, and on the long walk leading to the Dragon Gate, he met Wang Shouren who came out of the Nanjuan Room.

Although Wang Shouren lived in the capital with his father, because his ancestral home was in Zhejiang, he also took the provincial examination in Zhejiang, so he belonged to Juren of southern origin.Therefore, what he made was the southern volume.

The questions in the second and third exams in the southern and northern volumes are different, but the questions about the meaning of the book and the meaning of the scriptures in the first round are the same.

Chang Feng complained: "Brother Wang, the fourth question of Jingyi is too tricky and weird, isn't it?"

Wang Shouren echoed: "I'm afraid it will take two or three days to check ancient books before I can figure out how to solve and sustain the problem."

"But Brother Chang, don't worry. I estimate that there are thousands of South and North exams, and few of them can do this question well."

Suddenly, Chang Feng heard the conversation between the two speakers with southern accents.

"Brother Tang, how did you do in the exam?"

"It's a piece of cake to search for things. It's not something you can do if you have hands?"

"That's that. Brother Tang's talent is the best in the world."

"Heh, to put it bluntly, even if you know how to try a Bagong dog."

Chang Feng heard the two men's tone was very crazy, deliberately walked in front of them, and looked back at them.

Those two people were exactly Tang Yin and Xu Jing.

Of course, Chang Feng didn't know them at this time.

Juren suffered nine days in the Gong Yuan, and finally finished the exam, so naturally they had to eat, drink, party and let their lives go wild.

The juren party after the examination was very much like the social season of foreign devils.

People from all over the world gather together to eat, drink, get to know each other, and expand their contacts.

Even if you fail the exam, it would be great to get to know a few more Juren.

Maybe after losing his name to Sun Shan, he went to the Ministry of Officials to put up a sign and wait for the candidate to be "big pick". In the future, everyone will be destined to be a small official in one place.There's no harm in making an appointment early.

Chang Feng returned to the mansion and slept for a day and a night to make up for his sleep.

Commander Mu Bin sent someone to pass the word, saying that it will be a hard test.Let Chang Feng rest for three days and then come to Weili to work on errands.

Changfeng is rarely idle.Watching his wife Liu Xiaoyan teach her 13-year-old son Chang Ponu how to shoot arrows in the back garden.

Chang Po Nu follows his mother and has superb shooting skills.The arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Grandfather Liu Bingyi, who was holding a fishing rod by the pond, complained that Wang Balao didn't take the bait today.

Chang Ponu walked directly to the edge of the pond, drew his bow, and aimed at the water.

"Whoosh!" The arrow cluster let go.There was an unlucky bastard in the middle, and the arrow pierced through the bastard's shell.

Liu Bingyi exclaimed: "Grandson, you are so talented!"

Chang Feng also said: "It's amazing. I've only heard of people who can wear Yang with a hundred steps, but today I saw my son who can wear a turtle with a hundred steps."

Experts watch the excitement, while laymen watch the doorway.Liu Xiaoyan said: "It's much more difficult to wear a turtle than to wear a poplar. The turtle swims, and the water reflects its shadow."

"If Zhuang Zhuang joins the army in the future, he must be like a flying general."

At this moment, Huang Yuan led Wang Shouren over excitedly.

Huang Yuandao: "Brother, tonight the undergraduate candidates will have a poetry meeting with wine in the Hongbin Building. Let's go there together."

Chang Feng asked: "The imperial examination is serving wine today, what are you going to join in the fun with, a Jinshi in the imperial examination?"

Huang Yuandao: "Tang Yin, the head of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, will also go. Brother Shouren and I will pay our respects to him."

Chang Feng couldn't help laughing: "Is that Tang Yin who wrote the doggerel 'It's better to go home and play with your wife'?"

Wang Shouren nodded: "It's him! Not only is he good at poetry, but he is also unrivaled in the south of the Yangtze River. Last year, Yingtian Township tried Jieyuan."

"It shouldn't be a problem for him to be a Bachelor of Bagong."

Liu Xiaoyan said from the side: "Tonight, there are two tables of mahjong. One table is for father and his former colleagues, and the other table is for me and some close wives."

"There is no place for you to stay at home. You go out to drink, write poems, and relax."

Chang Feng is also idle when he is idle.Then he agreed.

At night, Hongbin Building.

The upper and lower floors have been covered by the candidates.There were more than thirty tables seated.In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is also a Saishi platform.

Chang Feng sat at a table with Wang Shouren and Huang Yuan.

Opposite them, sat Tang Yin and Xu Jing.

Wang Shouren pointed with his hand: "Look, Brother Chang, that man is Tang Yin, the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan."

Chang Feng glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Ha, isn't this the one who said that at the end of the trial yesterday, he would try Bagong as long as he has hands, and even a dog can do it."

Wang Shouren said: "Brother Chang, Tang Yin is famous in the south of the Yangtze River as a madman. But his madness is based on his great talents and learning."

All the people gathered around the table one after another, exchanged cups and made friends with each other.

Chang Feng didn't dare to admit his name.He was afraid that his reputation as the butcher of Jinyiwei would frighten the examiners and ruin the relaxed atmosphere after the exam.He falsely claimed that he was "Zhang Feng, a Juren of Beizhili".

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Everyone began to write poems, comment on poems, and compare poems.

It happened to be raining in spring outside the restaurant.

A Juren suggested: "Today we will use rain as the theme, how about it?"

All the people responded one after another.

Chang Feng was pushed to the poetry competition stage by Huang Yuanqiang.

Chang Feng was chased away by his brother-in-law.He doesn't like to write poems very much, and only studies stereotyped work.

He had no choice but to pick up a pen and wrote a five-character poem.

"The emperor's grace is as deep as the sea, and the vegetation is alive."

"Rain moistens the universe, and Tianchou recommends abundance."

"The emperor has a benevolent heart, and the society is boundless."

"Everything is celebrating together, and the sky is full of auspicious clouds."

Ever since Cangjie created characters, articles are like people.

Chang Feng, the boss of Jinyiwei, is the emperor's domestic slave, and he can't help but sing praises to the emperor even when he writes poems.

If this poem is presented at the Jiangnan literati's poetry competition, it will definitely be ridiculed.

But it is also considered appropriate to get it at the poetry competition held by people in Beijing.After all, everyone is desperate to enter the official career and bathe in the emperor's favor.

In this poetry competition, we will judge A, B, C, D, E and so on.

A group of people discussed and gave Chang Feng a second class.It's an upper-middle level.

In the gala of later generations, the biggest actor will always be the last one to appear on stage.The Spring Festival Gala is the grand finale of Grandma Li Guyi.

The same is true for the Ming Dynasty literati's poetry competition.

Tonight's protagonist, Tang Yin, was the last to appear at the poetry competition.

Tang Yin had already drunk too much.Walking unsteadily, he picked up a pen, splashed ink, and wrote a poem "A Plum Blossom Rain Beats the Pear Blossom Closed Closed".

"The rain hits the pear blossoms and closes the door, and they live up to their youth, and they live up to their youth."

"Who cares about pleasure? The soul is ecstasy under the flowers, and the soul is ecstasy under the moon."

"Sorrow gathers eyebrows to frown all day long, thousands of weeping marks, ten thousand weeping marks."

"Looking at the sky at dawn and looking at the clouds at dusk, thinking about you when you walk, and thinking about you when you sit."

After the poem was written and hung up, there was no sound in the Hongbin Building.

Every man longs for a beautiful woman to fall in love with him.When we get together, "the soul is ecstasy under the flowers, and the soul is ecstasy under the moon".

When parting, "I think about you when I walk, and I think about you when I sit."

Tang Yin's words resonated with everyone.

After a brief silence, praises to Tang Yin in the restaurant came and went.

"Brother Tang is worthy of being the first of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River! Sure enough, his literary talent is outstanding!"

"I think this subject, brother Tang will definitely be nominated for the Xingbang, and even made the gold list!"

"Brother Tang's song, if you get it to the Jiaofang Division, it must be the most widely sung song in the capital this year!"

"Great talent! Being able to drink with brother Tang today is really a blessing in my next life."

Tang Yin triumphantly returned to his seat.

At the end of the poetry competition, the public discussed that Tang Yin's Ci far surpassed A, B, C, D, E, etc.So it's super classy.

The shopkeeper of Hongbinlou knows marketing very well.The prize of 100 taels was given to Tang Yin, hoping that his handwritten words could be given to the restaurant, framed and hung up.

Tang Yin was disrespectful.

Literati don't actually hate money.

For example.For later generations of Internet writers, if some readers are willing to spend money on the novels I write, it means that the novels I write have certain value.

Some old men and women who write traditional literature always think that their novels can win the Nobel Prize for Literature.I can't make money because the readers in the world are all illiterate and vulgar.

I write novels only for art, not for making money.

Then the association held a meeting, and the old men and women licked their faces and asked young Internet writers: How to make money by posting novels online
Closer to home.

The poetry competition is over.Ju people have also drunk enough wine, everyone's face is drunk.

Everyone began to discuss the apricot list and predict their ranking.

Wang Shouren said to Chang Feng: "This time I will try, I should be able to enter the apricot list."

Chang Feng sighed: "I guess the name is still Luosun Shan. Sigh, I'm used to it."

At this moment, Tang Yin suddenly jumped onto the wine table.

Sure enough, the madman went wild!

Tang Yin said in a loud voice: "Don't talk about it, everyone. If you are a member of the undergraduate program, it must be me, Tang Yin!"

Everyone was stunned!

Huiyuan, the first in the test!
The test is a competition among the elite among the scholars of the empire.

Before the list of Gongsheng students was announced, it was self-confidence to claim to be able to enter the apricot list.

Claiming to be number one on the apricot list is either arrogant or tricky in the exam!
At this moment, everyone felt that Tang Yin uttered wild words because he was too arrogant.

After all, they have crazy capital.

Chang Feng said to his brother-in-law Huang Yuan in a low voice: "This talented Tang Dynasty scholar should learn to speak well. If the apricot list is announced, he will really become a Huiyuan. That is an inexplicable trouble."

Huang Yuan said with a smile: "How can it be such a coincidence. He was trying to solve the yuan in Ying Tianxiang, and if he won the Huiyuan, he won two yuan in a row."

"Winning two yuan in a row requires not only the talent of being famous in the world. It also needs the luck of the ancestors' graves breathing fire."

Chang Feng said: "That's right. It's getting late, I'll go back home and see how your sister-in-law is doing, whether she wins or loses."

Chang Feng broke up with Huang Yuan and Wang Shouren and returned to the mansion.

Liu Xiaoyan is simply a virgin who spreads money.Played hemp hanging for a night, and the output was more than 200 taels of silver.

Chang Feng didn't care.The hemp hanging table placed by the ladies is the best place to gather information.The money lost will be used as money to buy information.

Besides, at the table next door to the father-in-law, Liu Bingyi made a huge killing and won three or four hundred taels of silver.It made up for Liu Xiaoyan's shortfall.

At the same time, the lobby of the Ministry of Rites.

Cheng Minzheng was reviewing the papers overnight with eight reviewers.

Until dawn, the tense examination papers finally came to an end.

The examiners began to count the number of circles, triangles, slashes, vertical bars, and crosses on the paper to determine the ranking.

Cheng Minzheng was complacent.This time, the tricky and weird scripture question he asked really played a role in selecting the top talents.

Only two candidates got nine full circles on this question.

These two candidates were also the ones who answered the rest of the test questions most satisfactorily.It should be the first and second place in this apricot list.

Finally came the exciting part of tearing up the names.

Cheng Minzheng was curious, is No.1 Tang Yin, his most valued Yingtian Juren?
If it is him, it proves that our old Cheng has the ability to judge others.

The names of the top ten test papers were torn up by the chief examiner himself.

Cheng Minzheng first tore off the name of No.10: Wang Shouren.

Cheng Minzheng smiled and said, "Everyone, the No. 10 tribute in the undergraduate examination turned out to be Wang Shouren, the son of Wang Huawang's bachelor's family."

"Wang Shouren is famous in Jinghua, but he failed in two subjects. This time, he was finally nominated in the apricot list."

"It can be seen that there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and there will always be some ups and downs. The green hills can't cover it, and it will always flow eastward!"

An examiner echoed: "What Cheng Butang said is very true. When Wang Shouren landed six years ago, Li Cifu asked him to compose a poem "The Fu of the Number One Scholar."

"I don't know if Wang Shouren will be able to come out on top in the next palace examination, and use that "Fu of the Number One Scholar"."

"If this is the case, there will be another story of perseverance in the examination room, and gold and stone can be carved."

Cheng Minzheng shook his head slightly: "I don't think he will be the No. [-] scholar. He only got three circles in the fourth question."

"The champion should be among the first two test papers. I want to see who these two peerless talents are."

Cheng Minzheng tore up seven names in a row.

Finally, only the first and second are left.

He took a deep breath and tore away the second nickname: Xu Jing.

Cheng Minzheng remembered that Tang Yin had mentioned it to him.This trip to Beijing was thanks to a person named Xu Jing who took care of him all the way.

A smile appeared on Cheng Minzheng's face, and he thought to himself: As the sage said, a fish looks for a fish, a shrimp looks for a shrimp, and a turtle looks for a bastard.

To be able to walk with the number one talented person in the south of the Yangtze River all the way, I think this person is also a person with great talent and learning.

If you can answer the fourth scripture question I asked well, it seems that you will be able to take the second place.

Afterwards, he took a deep breath and tore off the name of No.1.

Cheng Minzheng looked at the name and shouted: "This son is a genius in this world! He has a career as a prime minister!"

An examiner asked: "Cheng Butang, who is the first one that aroused your amazement?"

Cheng Minzheng replied with a smile: "Tang Yin! Yingtian Juren Tang Yin! This son Yingtian was Jieyuan in the provincial examination. Now he is in Huiyuan. Maybe he will be number one in the palace examination!"

"There are two people in the Tang Dynasty and six people in the Song Dynasty. There is only one Wenyi Gongshangren in this dynasty."

"If Tang Yin can win three yuan in a row, there will be an extra good talk in this court!"

In fact, there is another person in the Daming Company who won the Sanyuan, Huang Guan.

Huang Guan is not only a triple hit.It is also the only "six champion" who has won the first place in the county examination, government examination, courtyard examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination since the imperial examination was opened in the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that Huang Guan was on the wrong team and threw himself into the river to die for Emperor Jianwen.After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, his imperial examination merits were removed.

All the examiners quickly started flattering Cheng Minzheng.

"Hey, if Cheng Butang is the chief examiner, if you can really select a great talent who has won three consecutive prizes, the emperor will definitely reward you by decree!"

"I think Cheng Butang will be promoted to Chunguanzhengtang in a short time. He will be able to join the cabinet in a year or two!"

Cheng Minzheng stroked his beard with a smile.The flattery of his subordinates is very useful to him.

He secretly said in his heart: Only someone like me, who has discernment and talent, is worthy to be in the cabinet as a prime minister.

After a while, Cheng Minzheng couldn't laugh anymore.

The day of the announcement.

Chang Feng made an appointment with Wang Shouren, and came to the gate of the Gongyuan to watch the list.

After some tedious etiquette was over, the apricot list was announced.

Chang Feng was still the same, looking for his name from the back. The list of 300 tributes has seen [-] or [-] names, but the word "Chang Feng" still cannot be seen.

Suddenly, Wang Shouren beside him shouted: "Hey, good, I've won!"

Chang Feng took a closer look and saw that Wang Shouren was No. 10 on the apricot list!

Wang Shouren repeated excitedly: "Hey, good, I won!"

Said that his heart for the imperial examination was calm, but when the time came for the apricot list, Wang Shouren was still very excited.

"Crack!" Chang Feng directly gave Wang Shouren a big punch.

Immediately afterwards, he burst out: "Bastard, what did you hit?"

Wang Shouren was stunned!A pair of big confused eyes looked at his friend Chang Feng.

It's too late, but it's fast.Chang Feng gave Wang Shouren another big blow, "Crack!"

Then Chang Feng asked Wang Shouren with a fierce expression, "Your mother is called Wang Shouren, right?"

At this time, Wang Shouren was really the fruit under the ignorant tree, and I was the only one under the ignorant tree.

A smile appeared on Chang Feng's face: "Brother Wang, congratulations! I slapped you hard. I learned from Baozi when Huang Yuanzhong was promoted."

"I'm afraid that you will be happy for a while, and your mind will be confused by phlegm. So I scare you first."

Wang Shouren suddenly realized: "Ah, so that's the case! Did Brother Chang find his name? I'm going to slap you too hard."

Chang Feng took another look at the apricot list and swept through the top ten.There is no one named Chang in the top ten.

Chang Feng smiled wryly: "It seems that you have no chance to slap me. Well, even in the four subjects, you failed."

"In a few days, I'll go to the Ministry of Rites and ask, how many circles have I missed this time?"

Wang Shouren comforted Chang Feng: "Brother Chang, don't be disappointed. You have accumulated a lot of money, and you will definitely pass the next subject."

The famous candidates on the list were all overjoyed.

The candidates who failed the rankings were whispering.

"My God. Huiyuan is really Tang Yin! The second is Tang Yin's friend Xu Jing. Isn't this too coincidental?"

"Ah! I see!"

"Understand what?"

"You don't even need to ask! There is cheating in this subject exam! How could Tang Yin assume that he is Huiyuan before the apricot list is announced?"

"Right, right! Fraud! It must be fraud. Xu Jing is like Tang Yin's follower. It is no coincidence that he is ranked second."

Since ancient times, human nature has been to hate others and laugh at others.

I didn't have a tribute, so there must be fraud.The candidates who failed the rankings all had this mentality.

Chang Feng frowned when he heard these gossips.It seems that Jin Yiwei is coming to work!

There was chaos in front of the Gongyuan gate.

There are only three hundred tributes in Bagong.There are more than 3000 failed exams.

They began to shout: "Cheating in the exam! Re-exam! Re-examination!"

There was a brave man who tore up the apricot list.

The Ministry of Rites was helpless.The situation was maintained only by asking Wucheng soldiers and horses to send one or two thousand soldiers.Otherwise, the losers will definitely smash the Gongyuan.

The main examiner Cheng Minzheng saw this scene, sweating all over his body: "How did things turn out like this?"

Tang Yin shouted: "I didn't cheat!"

A group of losers surrounded him, and they were about to punch him while speaking.

Or Xu Jing was more clever, he pulled Tang Yin up and ran away.The pitiful head of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River was reduced to a mouse that everyone shouted and beaten in front of the gate of the Gongyuan.

Morning the next day.

The young Huke chief, Zhonghua Chang, was the first to go out to play, and he was involved in impeachment of Cheng Minzheng's fraudulent leaks.Tang Yin, Xu Jing and other crazy children cheated by buying questions.

Huachang, "Chang" sounds the same as "shovel" in "冚jiashovel".

This man was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi.Young and energetic.Because he is a speech officer, he is always holding back to become a big shot and make a name for himself in science and technology.

Knowing about such a big scandal this time, he rallied and vowed to join Cheng Minzheng.

If you can participate in the six ministers during the event, you will leave a strong mark in your resume.

After hearing Hua Chang's report, Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Among the emperors of all dynasties, except for the faint emperor, which one did not pay attention to the grand ceremony of the imperial court?

Now there are such scandals in the Talent Ceremony.Recorded in the history books, it will cast a shadow over the prosperity of Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I was very surprised when I heard what Hua Aiqing said. Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, together with the academicians of the Imperial Academy and the commander of Jinyiwei Zuo Tongzhi Changfeng, re-read the test papers to find out the matter."

This decree has a hidden meaning.

Emperor Hongzhi thought he knew how to employ people.If he didn't trust Cheng Minzheng, he wouldn't entrust him with the task of obtaining a doctor.

Deep down in his heart, Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe that Cheng Minzheng leaked questions and cheated.

So he asked Cheng Minzheng's good friend Li Dongyang to investigate the matter, so as to save Cheng Minzheng from being falsely accused by the officials who were focused on making trouble.

But he can't be completely relieved.So Chang Feng, the head of the house slave, was also asked to participate in the investigation.
