Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 70 The embarrassing guest suddenly becomes a distinguished scholar and congratulates the dominoes for being the first prize winner
Liu Molin, Su Shunqing and Su Shunqing are like ducks in water, and they are satisfied with the spring breeze in the gentle countryside for a few times. They are about to get up, when they suddenly hear the footsteps outside the courtyard, like a group of people rushing in.An old woman yelled: "It's from the second Li's family! You can't see me wrong, you kidnapped my sister Su and I can't find it anywhere!" Then the boss smiled and said in a low voice, "Okay, what do I do?" Aunt? That’s your old cash cow. I’m just so green on the grave. Do you dare to kidnap? Sister Su is in the north room, and I heard her sing just now. I’m afraid I’m sitting on the ground talking with Mr. Liu. Forget it. The villain is confused and confused, and just wants to pay a few horses, Auntie, whoever is on your arm, cares about this idea?" Said one end, and brought the old lady in at the other end.Liu Molin was in a daze, Su Shunqing's face was as white as paper, she pushed Liu Molin to stand up, and said: "Put on your clothes quickly!" Standing up, she pulled up her small clothes and put them on indiscriminately, then tied her belt.Just as he was in a panic, the door was opened with a "crack".

"God!" When the woman saw the two of them, her legs softened and she almost sat on the ground. She slapped her knees and rushed up, cursing: "You are a bloody prostitute! When the day comes and goes, I know you're flirting—the old Nalan's family will give you 3000 taels of silver to redeem you, Mr. Xu will give you [-] taels of silver to show you off, and you pretend to be sick and dumbfounded, saying 'I can't bear my mother'! It's good—" She cried and cursed, grabbed Shunqing's hair, pulled her off the bed and dragged her to the ground, pointed at Liu Molin and said, "What is this thing? It's a tattered reputation, a beggar is not like a beggar, he can sing well Like a singing singer, whether the character is worthy of carrying shoes for Mr. Xu—" She glanced contemptuously at Liu Molin, who was stunned locally, "—Which field can't grow such a crooked pumpkin, you just sleep with him? You Kill a thousand swords and heartless bitches!" Li Er, the owner of the shop, saw someone looking in from outside the shop, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Okay, my old aunt and ancestor, you should wake up! This broken body The thing, who knows if you don’t make it public? A bed of brocade is covered, and Mr. Liu spends a little more, so it’s not good for everyone to smooth things over? What’s the benefit of jumping over the wall like this!” Before finishing speaking, The old procuress spat in the face and scolded: "Only you can! Your father is notoriously 'not enough', ask your mother, did she fool around on the first night of the wedding?"

One sentence made everyone cover their mouths and laugh.Liu Molin knew that he had ruined this woman's cash cow. Seeing Su Shunqing slumped on the ground with tears all over her face, she just sobbed, and said, "Don't get angry, old mother. If you make cooked rice with uncooked rice, you'll be killed if you hit it with your head." It's useless! Hmm... I'll pay you back Shunqing's redemption money, Shunqing is mine!" The old woman wiped her tears and snot, scanned the room, stared at Liu Molin again, and curled her lips. He sneered and said: "You? Well, I'll just make a loss-making business. I don't want your headgear and silver. The principal silver is three thousand, but you only need two thousand and five hundred. Pay the silver with one hand and the person with the other—bring it!" Stretch out your hand.

"Two thousand and five is two thousand and five." Liu Molin smiled faintly, "I don't care about your mother with eight eyes—my family is not poor, so I will write a letter and ask Zhejiang Bank to exchange it. You guys, just stay with me..." The bustard clapped her hands and laughed, "Listen up, all of you! This wild student who can't starve to death is not afraid of being bloated to death by talking big! Tell you, a guy like you Poor student old lady has seen a lot, I'm afraid she is cheaper than the bastard in Yongding River, you want to deceive me! You have coaxed my daughter, and I haven't even bothered to settle accounts with you! You underestimate my mother, bastard, There are two young masters sitting in my house right now! Come with me right now, I will provide you with delicious food and drink, and if you don’t get enough money in half a month, I will send you a note to Shuntian Mansion, and take off your official skin. You deserve to be a big teapot bastard in our courtyard!" Liu Molin's face turned purple immediately, his whole body trembled with anger, and without saying a word, he took a step forward and "slapped" two slaps.He beat the old lady with a slap in the face, pointed at him and cursed: "What are you? I am a famous eunuch in the south of the Yangtze River! Gongsheng is also my scholar who passed the examination step by step, and the imperial court gave me the honor! You old bitch, what the hell are you doing?" Who dares to bully people with such big eyes!" Su Shunqing knew the old bustard's details, and hurriedly said: "Liu...Mr. Liu, you can't do it!"

While talking, a middle-aged man in his 30s stepped into the room, stared at Liu Molin shifting his eyes, gently shook a lacquered Xiangfei bamboo fan, and said, "She is relying on my influence! You are a poor student, Which eye should I use to look at you? You are a Gongsheng, but you know the rules of the Qing Dynasty: the emperor's disciples live with prostitutes, disgrace the sacred rules, and ignore the imperial court order!" He turned to the madam and said: "Old man Beggar, why are you arguing with this kind of person? Send him to the Imperial College, and I’ll send him off with a note for disobedience!” Liu Molin looked at the visitor carefully, and saw that he was wearing a maroon-colored lake silk gown with four open air balls, and his feet were black and muddy. Soled shoes, a Baturu vest with blue satin and dark clouds trimmed on the upper body, a Hanyu pendant and betel nut pouch tied on a black crouching bag, a black satin melon skin hat with a red velvet top, and two thick eyebrows on a square face Twisted into a ball, the two corners of the thick lips hung down, with an arrogant look on his face, but he didn't know what it was coming from.Just as he was about to ask, the old bustard already smiled at the man and said, "Yo! It's Mr. Xu! You're here in person! I'm just asking sister Su to wait on you for a while, what a coincidence My son just ran into this bastard who was molesting her! If my master doesn’t come, I really don’t know how to deal with him! My master said to send him to the Imperial College, but can I do it?” Liu Molin then knew that this person was the scholar Huo Zhi. Xu Qianxue's "Prince of the Xiangfu" Xu Jun Xu Jun, a native of Kunshan, Jiangsu, was the son of Xu Qianxue, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment of Kangxi, and he was selected as a scholar.When he was young, he was arrogant and violent, and it is said that he secretly used poison to kill the school teacher.In the later poems, there is "the bright moon still cares about me, but the cool breeze has no intention of not keeping people."In the Yongzheng Literary Prison, he was executed with disrespect.The relationship between him and Liu Molin, Yun, Su Shunqing and others described here are all fictional.It is said that Xu Jun's poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings are not ordinary hands. How can a well-known talent in Jinghua have such a face?Liu Molin was about to speak, when Xu Jun pushed his mouth, several courtyard kings standing at the door rushed up like wolves, set Liu Molin up and left.

"I thought you were a man of Confucianism," Liu Molin struggled, turning his head and shouting, "So you are a beast in clothes, a romantic bully!"

Xu Jun went down the steps, staring at Liu Molin, like a cat catching a mouse, and said with a smile: "Merry bully? It's wonderful, I've never heard of it! I think you are more like the ghost of Hualiu—waiting for the Imperial College to offer wine Peel off your official skin, and then argue with bullies—go!"

A group of people pushed and shoved, teasing Liu Molin. As soon as he left the second door, he heard the sound of gongs outside the door, and a few gangsters shouted and laughed: "Master Liu Molin lives here? Receive a reward! Congratulations, Master Liu!" Tan Hua and the first place!" Everyone couldn't help being shocked, the two tortoises supporting Liu Molin let go of their hands early, and a group of people nailed them to the second door like wood carvings and clay sculptures, even Xu Jun was stunned.It took Liu Molin a long time to come back to his senses, he was afraid it was an auditory hallucination, when he squinted his eyes, he saw two pens holding red posters, surrounded by a group of money-seeking street ruffians, swarming in from the gate—— Taking a few steps to look at the wedding invitation carefully, the gold powder on the red background is really bright.

Respectfully knocking on Mr. Liu, taboo Molin High School Palace Examination No. 3 Jinshi Liu Molin was dizzy, his legs felt weak, and he almost collapsed, he waited to control it, and asked: "Which one is the hall official from the Ministry of Rites?" The two strokes flashed out and greeted Qian'er with a smile, and said:
"Are you an upstart? Greetings to you!"

"Who is the first name?"

"Master Hui. The champion is Mr. Wang Wenshao, and the second place is Mr. Yin Jishan. Mr. Wang and Mr. Yin are the first to get the rewards, and I have come to visit you. I am waiting outside the door for a while!"

"It's not bad, why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Molin was taken aback, and walked out of the gate in three steps and two steps, seeing Wang Wenshao and Yin Jishan chatting in front of the sedan chair beside the dismounting stone, surrounded by thousands of people , Buzzing, humming, being pressed, tiptoes stretching his neck to look at "Sanyuan Xianggong".Liu Molin stepped out of the gate under the eyes of everyone, bowed to the two, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang Nian and Brother Yin Nian have been waiting for a long time, brother congratulations to you two!"

How did Wang Wenshao and Yin Jishan know about the public case just now: Liu Molin didn't wear a gown, the buttons on the corners of the robe were misplaced, the front skirt was high and the back skirt was low, the white feet were exposed from the double-beam check shoes, no socks were worn, and the hair was messy and fluffy. The people couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, clasped their fists together and went up the steps. The firecrackers were blowing up outside and the air was filled with smoke.Yin Jishan quietly tugged on Liu Molin's bottom sleeve, and said with a low laugh, "Are you a 'flower' or a 'melon'? Look at this outfit, have you been robbed just now?" At that time, Xu Jun and others had already left without a trace.The old bustard probably knew she was guilty, so she knelt quietly at the corner of the east side room without saying a word—he hurriedly straightened his clothes, and while letting the two of them into the room, he called the owner: "I still have 100 yuan by the pillow." An extra tael of silver, 16 taels per person for the two pen posts, and the rest you exchange for copper coins to send the good news on my behalf, and I have to talk to the two elder brothers, and I will reward you later!" The boss had already pissed off, Repeatedly agreed to go.

"You two brothers," Liu Molin wiped his sweat as the three of them sat down to offer tea, "I'll tell you, I'm still confused. I went to check the list, but my name is clearly not there! What's going on? Yin Jishan glanced at Wang Wenshao and said with a smile, "I was also surprised. Just when the good news came to the mansion, my father also came back from the court and said that the top three in Yijia had just been appointed, and there was a volume in it that Wansui Li personally picked out. Brother Nian, think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with your theory?" Liu Molin tilted his head and thought for a while, only to feel that his heart was clouded, and he couldn't remember a single word of his theory, so he laughed and said: "I only heard that there is something wrong with it. Filling the top five, I didn’t expect Enke’s Sacred Heart to be dictatorial this year, “filling three yuan upside down”. I never expected that this candidate would be satisfied with being a second-class Jinshi, and I was lucky. It’s really the emperor’s grace! — I don’t know where there is a flaw in brother’s theory? Since it failed the paper, why did it hit the holy will?”

Wang Wenshao said with a smile: "Long live didn't want to 'fill in three yuan'. In fact, the three yuan was not determined when it was released. I was still in the top two! It was also pulled out by Wansui alone. Brother Nian's paper has ' "Fan Shengyinde" violated the sacred taboo, and there was no hope for this subject. I don't want to live forever to read all the final volumes. According to my father, when I saw these words when I read Brother Liu Nian's volume, I just smiled and used a red pen to write "Yin" He even added the word "quote" and said: "The king is the master of destiny, and I will save a scholar who is blunt in the autumn wind!" So brother Nian won the prize." Yin Jishan nodded and said: "Brother Liu is a true scholar. This is exactly the odd number! Long live to change policy theory, brother Nian's policy theory is naturally selected first, but brother Nian's words are not standardized, so Tanhua is selected."

It was only then that Liu Molin knew that it was Yongzheng who corrected his clerical mistakes in his own handwriting to win the prize, and because of this, he delayed the decision of the top three, and did not list the No. [-] No. [-] candidate "Three Yuan" at the top of the palace examination list.He took a sip of his tea and wanted to laugh, but for some reason he couldn't laugh, he couldn't even utter a single humorous word, he just felt that his heart was boiling, and something sour and hot like blood was stirring and going straight up After a long time, Fang smiled and said: "The sacred heart is lofty, and the sage is unpredictable. The 'autumn wind blunt scholar' can only be repaid by one death-Li Er! Show it to the men!" Wang Wenshao smiled and got up and said: "We two come to worship you, this is Rules. Seeing you, I am the leader now. Now is not the time for drinking, the three of us have to report to the Ministry of Rites immediately, and tomorrow we will enter the Hall of Preservation and Pass the Holy Spirit. Write a thank you form. You must consult the etiquette department for instructions when you observe the etiquette. This is not wrong at all. In the evening, come to my house for a drink, let's take off our hats and papers, and play leaf cards to gamble, how about it?" Liu Molin saw the two of them Standing up with the tea, he was already in the official position, so he couldn't help smiling, because he got up and said: "Please take a step first, I will be there after I change clothes, so I can't miss anything."

So Wang and Yin resigned, and Liu Molin sent them straight out of the gate, watched them lift their sedan chairs and leave, and hurriedly changed their dresses when they came back.Li Er was already waiting for him with the shop assistants, who were in a mess to help him change. He was very attentive when he pulled the buttons and ties, and kept saying: "My good fortune, I will go to Hanlin on time, maybe I will return it." I want to make Guozijian sacrificial wine! To tell you the truth, as soon as you come to stay at the hotel, the villain thinks my store is extravagant. Otherwise, you owe so much money, when did the villain remind you? Last night I The lantern flower in the room was bursting with joy, bursting with joy... I didn't expect my grandpa to be so happy today, so I agreed to it! Fang's shop on Qianjie Street had a second grade in the last department Seventeen, Fang Ermazi's eyes are on his forehead. This time the villain will have to look good!" Liu Molin took care of them, said "um" in his mouth, and finally said: "You have a conscience Not bad, tomorrow I will write a new sign for you with my own hand!" Then he came out, stomped his feet comfortably under the dripping eaves, walked up to the old bustard and snorted and asked:
"Where's Shunqing?"

The old godly woman knelt for a long time, and her muscles and bones were already weak. When she saw the new nobleman asking, she didn't dare to agree. You, a bastard who eats shit all his life and doesn't have eyes! Today is God's punishment for embarrassment... Your lord, who came down to earth from the stars of Wenqu and music, was born to be a noble person, but I am pitiful to see the old woman, who has the right to hear the dog barking..." Liu Molin said impatiently: "Arguing with you, do you deserve it? I'm asking about Shunqing! The one surnamed Xu took him away?" The old bustard kowtowed and said, "It's no fun for Mr. Xu to make a fuss. Sister Su just made the thief Wang Ba rub so hard that her heart hurts. I asked someone to take her back to rest in a sedan chair—don’t worry, you won’t be short of a single hair! Just a piece of paper, I have to be considerate , Uncle Xu is also a character who stomps his feet and trembles in the four cities. It is not easy for us to mix this bowl of rice in this crack... Mr. Xu, the son of Xiangfu, has many friends, a lot of money, and he is a scholar of grace, and he is doing it now The Metropolitan Procuratorate observes the master, we can't afford to offend, it doesn't matter who the sister Su belongs to, I just ask the noble master to understand our difficulties, and talk to Master Xu, and we will take the sister to the house in a sedan chair Go..." The old woman said, she didn't know which sentence touched her heart, she was already tearing up.

"What's so great about Xu Jun?" Liu Molin sneered and walked away, saying in his mouth: "I even know that his old man Xu Qianxue is not a good thing! You are so good at serving Shunqing, I have my own ideas!" Come out, hire a sedan chair and rush to the Ministry of Rites.

At five drums in the early morning of the next day, led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Wenshao took the lead, followed by Yin Jishan, Liu Molin and other 360 first-, second- and third-tier candidates in the palace examination, and entered the inner court from the right door of the Meridian Gate.At this time, the sky is full of cold stars and the moon is like a hook. Glass palace lanterns are hung from the corners of the verandahs and eaves all over the palace.This group of people hurried across the Jinshui Bridge in the order in which the rankings were published, and entered through the Gate of Supreme Harmony. In the distance, they saw the three majestic halls standing tall under the starry sky. Standing like a nail.The wind at five o'clock swept the floating soil on the square in front of the foundation of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with a slight chill of Ji Chun rushing towards the face, which made the group of new "nobles" fall silent, and even their footsteps were lightened.People were nervous with excitement and solemnity, and they felt the majesty of the Nine Heavens Tower System and the austerity of the royal demeanor before they even stepped onto the platform of the Three Great Halls.The official of the Ministry of Rites brought the Jinshi to the front of the Palace of Preservation and signaled to stop - this was explained repeatedly yesterday, so without saying a word, everyone stopped with a single gesture.The Jinshi did not say a word, staring at the brightly lit Baohe Hall, imagining the coming favor and honor, thanking their poor windows and lonely lamps for ten years of hard work and finally having a result, their hearts were pounding, and the taste Not a taste.After a while, you saw You Mingtang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, carefully exited the Hall of Preserving Harmony, walked to the south and stood still in front of everyone, and said loudly:

"By the holy order!"

"Long live!"

The Jinshi flicked their hands, and the horseshoe sleeves slapped loudly, black crows knelt down on the ground, and the huge empty field was so quiet that there was no sound of coughing.You Mingtang said politely: "Written by the No. 4 Jinshi Cao Wenzhi, the biography is written by Cao Wenzhi, and I have an audience with the holy face!"

"Zha!" Cao Wenzhi knelt out from behind Liu Molin, kowtowed at the Baohe Hall, took the list handed over by You Mingtang with both hands, got up and bowed to the hall, then turned around and called out loudly, "Wang Wenshao, Yin Jishan, Liu Molin..." His voice was a little trembling, but after reading the names of more than two dozen people, it became natural.

This is the biography in front of the palace, Wang Wenshao was the first one, led the second place Tanhua, bowed and walked in a file, bowed his head and knelt down solemnly at the place designated by Xing Nian, it took half a day to be considered proper.People waited with bated breath, their backs and palms were already sweating, they suddenly heard three quiet whips from the hall, and then the soft sound of drum music, the great eunuch Li Dequan said loudly: "Long live Lord is here!" Only then did people know, Emperor Yongzheng was not on the throne at all.

Emperor Yongzheng walked in slowly amidst the music. He probably didn't sleep well last night. His eye circles were a bit dark, but he seemed to be in good spirits. His dark pupils were shining brightly under the candle.He stopped for a while at the entrance of the hall, glanced at the Xinke Scholars, then looked back at Yunxiang, Yun, Ma Qi, Longkodo and Zhang Tingyu who followed behind him, and went up to the Sumeru seat in the hall without saying a word.It was Prince Lian Yun who was in charge of the ceremony. Seeing Yongzheng looking at him, he hurriedly bowed and went to the throne and said loudly: "The first year of Yongzheng's Enke Jinshi group has finished singing. All new Jinshi kneel down to listen to the edict of Long Live God!"

"Long live!" "You are all scholars, so you don't need to play the drum too hard." Yongzheng took a sip of his breasts, cleared his throat, and said calmly, "I checked your resumes last night. Of the 360 ​​Jinshi, those from humble backgrounds accounted for them. 190 four, 74 of the gentry and rural eunuchs, 65 of them were selected in the Enyin Gongsheng Hall test, and the remaining [-] were the children of provincial ministers and six ministers and nine ministers. I looked at this number, and Li Fu’s selection of scholars is still It's fair." He picked up the cup and held it with both hands, but he didn't just drink it. He said calmly, "The country selects scholars every three years. What's the purpose? The purpose is to use you people to assist me in managing government affairs. Or you can take care of the civil affairs and regulate the people's sentiments on my behalf. The Master said, "If you learn well, you will become an official." You have arrived here step by step, and you have become "learned and excellent." Whether you do this "official" or not depends on you. Yourself! In the past, you were born as a child and became a scholar, and you were promoted from a scholar to a scholar. And the Jinshi relied on articles and knowledge. From now on, why do you become officials? I will give you two words."

Everyone bowed their heads.The hall was so quiet that even the eunuchs walking around on tiptoe outside the hall could be heard.

"Tianliang." Yongzheng gritted his fine white teeth, and burst out two words from between his teeth with a smile: "Heaven is the "law of heaven", and good is "conscience". Conscience. If you keep these two words, you will have the glory, the wealth and the honor, and you will be the wife and son—because you are public, loyal and clear, and the honor you deserve is given to you by God. To benefit the country, the people, and yourself, I am happy to give it to you. If you don’t say these two words, you can be beheaded, imprisoned, and your home confiscated.

Zhang Tingyu has been in the Central Committee for more than 40 years. Kangxi summoned him in the court examination in his later years, but he said "as usual", at most he ordered "I will remember my kindness". A very lively grand ceremony made everyone feel nervous. They couldn't help but sink and frowned. He was used to "standing outside the situation" and thinking of the emperor.Thinking about it, he turned to look at the emperor's side. Prince Yi Yunxiang was calm and composed, while Prince Lian Yun was expressionless. Suddenly thinking of Zhang Tinglu, he felt a chill in his heart.I was thinking wildly, but I heard Yongzheng continue to say: "I have been the throne in the mansion for [-] years, and I have gone to Beijing many times on business trips to observe the people's sentiments. I am not the kind of stupid king who doesn't know rice and rice, and doesn't understand people's feelings. There is nothing that can be hidden from me. Eyes and ears. Nowadays, there is a bastard atmosphere. The selection of scholars in the imperial examination is originally a grand ceremony for the imperial court, but the examiner draws out a kind of "teacher-student" affection from it. The students think that the selection is the examiner's kindness. I am selected, just remember that I am Jinshi of a certain subject, so and so is a mentor, so and so is the same year. Seek favor from the word "private", so they form cliques, show favoritism, do not show favoritism, do not know the principles, do not think of the king's kindness, what is rude and illegal All the deeds have been done. If you become an official according to this selfish intention, remember, you will not escape my insight and the country's laws!" Having said this, Yongzheng smiled easily, and said: "Today is Don’t blame me for saying this on your festive days. One mantra will prosper for ten years, and I’m still doing it for you——Look, there’s a Zhang Tingyu standing here, who, just like you, has heard the sacred teachings passed down by the late emperor. It’s my confidant again! Tingyu, you’ve worked hard for decades, you’ve been diligent and honest, it’s not easy! I’ll set an example for them today and record it——Zhang Tingyu, the first-class marquis of Jin, gave the Forbidden City a horse, He will select one of his descendants as a tribute student of Enyin, who will study with the prince's clan and wait for selection."

"Long live!" Zhang Tingyu never expected that Yongzheng would suddenly talk about himself, let alone give such a high praise and award all at once, his head swelled up with a "buzz", and he hurriedly raised the corner of his robe and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Long live is so honorable!" Beloved, how can I be a minister—"

Yongzheng waved his hands and shouted: "You just want to talk about Zhang Tinglu again. I have already realized that if you have nothing to do with you, you are a wise ruler with clear merits and demerits—that's the way it is." After speaking, he smiled and listened to tea.Yun Kuo stepped forward and said loudly: "The number one scholar will lead all Jinshi to express their gratitude!"

"Minister—Wang Wenshao!"

Wang Wenshao agreed with a trembling voice, got up and walked three steps towards the throne, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, carefully took out the thank you book with a yellow silk cover from his sleeve, and boldly read:
The Jinshi and the No. 1 minister Wang Wenshao and others were awarded with sincerity and fear, and the first words were said: "Follow the wind and cloud to pass the seat, and it will be a time of peace and prosperity; the sun and the moon are beautiful and the thoroughfare is auspicious."The book is brilliant, and the group looks forward to the improvement of the sanctity, worships the words of the hand, and sees the civilization.Longzhang, people know the glory of Jigu, and Yanlai frequently confers the prosperity of Youwen.The clothes are opened and the silk is full, and the crowns are gathered and the rings are shining.The pen has a heart, and Lian Zhiqing.Stealing but blunt shooting strategy is the subject of Jinmen's special edict; filial piety and Ming Jing are the selection of Nangong.Luo Zanying is under the gate, and he is pleased to see Chu Ying in the net; Xuan Fengzhao is at the side, striving to know the handsome man of the family...

He read it aloud, becoming more and more fluent, but Zhang Tingyu didn't bother to figure out these extravagantly embellished top scholar articles.The bloody execution ground where Zhang Tinglu was executed yesterday, the flickering words and inquiring eyes of Brother Jiu Yunqin when he came to visit the mansion last night, and Yongzheng's sudden commendation just now were all messed up in his heart, and it was difficult to sort out the clues for a while.When listening to Wang Wenshao, his tone became more and more sonorous, with a faint sound of gold and stone:

...Looking up to the earnest and detailed words of heaven, you are close to the Xuanxuan; looking down to exhaust the solidity of ignorance and worry, the countermeasures are frightening.The ministers and others have the wish to go sightseeing, assist in the treatment of non-talented people, recite the words of worry first and joy later, and admire Xiwen Zhicao.Fu Yuan Xuemao Jixi, Delong Guangyun.The wind is the same as the eight watches, the bead bag and the golden mirror are shining together;Chongxi is tired and friendly, and the atmosphere is always flowing.Putting on the sky is right, Helin swims and dances with phoenixes to show auspiciousness; All nations come to the same place, Ji Yu examines the gold and mud and sings praises!The ministers and others have nothing to look up to the sky and pay homage to the Holy Spirit, and they are eager to screen the camp. I would like to express my gratitude and hear it!

All the Jinshi were waiting for the word "Yi Wen", and when Wang Wenshao read it, they all bowed down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness!"

"That's all." Yongzheng smiled all over his face, took the thank you form from Li Dequan, unfolded it, looked at it, put it aside, stared at Wang Wenshao and said, "Well... Wang Wenshao, are you from Master Wang's family?" Wang Wenshao hurriedly kowtowed Said: "Yes, Wang Taifu is my father's third cousin."

"Oh, the third service. That's not too far away. The family has a long history, and it's worthy of the top scholar's writing. The article is very readable."

"I don't dare to accept the gold award. In fact, it was decided last night with Yin Jishan, the first and second Jinshi minister, and Liu Molin, the first and third Jinshi minister, and the minister took the lead in writing it."

Yongzheng nodded with a smile, and said: "A good article for discussion is like a bunch of flowers. But besides writing an article, is there nothing else? For example, have some wine, answer poems, etc. After all, you were named on the gold list yesterday. It was a happy day!" "

Wang Wenshao glanced at Yin Jishan and Liu Molin, kowtowed quickly and replied: "Returning to Longyan, I dare not drink because of today's visit to Longyan. I was afraid of losing my manners. After expressing gratitude, I played leaf games for a while. Once you take one, you will be separated."

Yongzheng laughed and said, "Okay! Don't bully the dark room, you're the number one scholar!" He took out a domino from his sleeve and showed it to Wang Wenshao, "Is it this one?"

"Ah?" Wang Wenshao took a closer look, was taken aback immediately, kowtowed and said, "Exactly...it's this piece of 'Taoyuan Scenic Spot——Taozhiyaoyao (unit)."

Yongzheng smiled and said nothing more, sat upright and leaned on the back of the chair, his expression had become solemn, and he said after a long time: "Very well, all ministers kneel down!"

"Long live!"

More than [-] people shouted thunderously, bowed their heads in unison, and respectfully sent Yongzheng away from his seat to be promoted.In an instant, Danbi played with great music, Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Cui, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi... Amidst all kinds of palace music, the Changyin Pavilion priests opened and closed their lips and chanted words:
