Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Speaking of Yang Shen, judging from historical records, he is indeed a great man.

Yang Shen was originally a good poet, and his poem "Linjiang Fairy" can be described as a masterpiece through the ages, but it's a pity that this poem has been plagiarized by Su Mu.Therefore, his achievements in poetry may not be able to reach the heights of real history.If it weren't for the fact that Su Mu, a modern man, was born out of nowhere, he would be worthy of the name of the third talented man of the Ming Dynasty.

Leaving aside his lackluster achievements in literature, this person came out to be elegant and elegant, and he was also a big bull in the imperial examination.

He was enlightened at the age of six, and at the age of 16 he had already achieved fame in Juren. According to his true standard, it would be no problem to be a Jinshi again.

It's strange to say that this person suddenly doesn't want to be an official anymore, he travels all day long, is obsessed with miscellaneous learning, and is outrageously romantic.

When guiding Zhengde for two years, he was tired from playing, so he went to Beijing to take part in the examination.

At that time, his father Yang Tinghe had joined the cabinet as prime minister.

According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom and examination halls of the Ming Dynasty, if the children of such high-ranking officials and nobles take the Jinshi examination, in order to avoid suspicion, most of them will not pass the exam. Even if they are barely Chinese, the name is low.Don't even think about being in the top three in the first class; there is no possibility of being in the top ten in the second class.

The purpose is to prevent the children of the nobles from being selected into the Imperial Academy and have the qualifications to join the cabinet.

Otherwise, if the high officials of the imperial court were monopolized by father and son, grandparents and grandchildren, and inbreeding, wouldn't they become the powerful of the Sui and Tang Dynasties again, and also block the passage for the poor to make progress.

Yang Shen passed the examination for the first time and won the first prize.

If the children of other court elders in the court won the first prize, the scholars would have already started to make trouble.It's strange to say that Yang Shen won the first prize, but the scholars and the officialdom were very quiet, as if they thought Yang Shen should be the first.If you can't win, it seems unfair.

Without him, Yang Shen deserves the title of number one in the world.

……

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one Yang Shen who dared to speak steadily. As for other famous scholars, such as Xu Wei, Huang Zongxi and Tang Yin, they never got a Jinshi in their lives.

Su Mu didn't think that he could beat these three great talents in the township examination questions that he could do with his real ability.

So, up to now, he was still a little apprehensive.

"So that's how it is. It seems that this list won't come out for a while." Su Mu nodded. It seems that what happened last night was too big. Now the whole court may still be in chaos, and it is not known whether Hu Shun will pass the customs smoothly.

Emperor Hongzhi was generous by nature, a bit like his grandfather Ming Yingzong, he was a bad guy, he looked good to everyone, and he had a lot of sympathy.In fact, Yingzong and Xianzong in the mid-Ming Dynasty had good personalities, but then Wuzong Zhengde and Sejong Jiajing came out.

However, the three emperors Longqing, Wanli, and Tianqi after Jiajing were not bad in terms of virtue.Generally speaking, among the emperors from Lao Zhu's family, if there are promising emperors, they are all staunch and eccentric, while the rest are generous and soft to the point of being unprincipled, and they all like to go to extremes.

When Hu Shun went to see Emperor Hongzhi this time, he didn't need to do anything, he just pretended to be pitiful and passed the test safely.

Of course, Su Mu still doesn't have much confidence in Lao Hu's acting skills because he hasn't actually seen it.Although it is difficult to rejuvenate a country, it will be difficult to perform more, but if you practice proficiently, you can always deceive people.

Su Mu: "Since that's the case, you guys just go back to the Governor's Yamen and wait. Why come looking for me. Su Mu doesn't want to go to the Yamen Gate to suffer the crime of the huge crowd. If you don’t hit, even if you run there yourself, it’s useless.”

"Brother Zi Qiao is really open-minded, I admire it." A scholar repeatedly cupped his hands: "We are here to find Zi Qiao, and we are here to apologize."

Because Su Mu was walking in front, it was not easy for everyone to ride, so they followed closely behind.

Five or six scholars made a slip.

"Oh, sorry, what are you sorry for?" Su Mu smiled without looking back.

The scholar behind me hesitated for a long time before someone said: "Brother Mu, you told me that I didn't go with Ziqiao last time. Everyone is from the cultural and educational line of Baoding Prefecture. You make such a fuss, how can you meet again in the future? You better explain it to Zi Qiao!"

Mu Sheng's face was as red as a cockscomb, and he stepped forward quickly, bowing to Su Mu constantly as he walked: "Zi Qiao, at the night banquet of the Shouning Houfu, you used two poems as "Wanhua Lou" Yun Qing We all know about the fact that the girl took back the title of Oiran. Only now do we know that the so-called plagiarism is just the dragon spouting blood. We are also not determined, and we actually believed the baseless rumors of this villain. Please see Ziqiao in the past In the love of classmates, forgive me."

Only then did Su Mu understand why they came looking for him today, and seeing that Mu Sheng couldn't stop apologizing, the resentment in his heart was relieved.

When they were classmates, the relationship was not just peeled away, thinking of the relationship in the past, Su Mu didn't want to have the same knowledge as them, and was about to say something to get rid of this embarrassment.

But what Mu Sheng said next made Su Mu sneer.

Mu Sheng; "Ziqiao's poems are really good, especially the "Linjiang Immortal", the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times. Let Ziqiao stabilize the position of a generation of ci poets."

"No, no, from Xiaosheng's point of view, Zi Qiao's sentence is perfect."

"We are really honored to be classmates with Ziqiao."

"Yes!"

Everyone was full of excitement, saying that Su Mu had saved face for our scholars in Baoding Mansion this time.

He said again: "Today, I am here not only to make amends to Zi Qiao, but also to witness Zi Qiao's glory in Zhongju with my own eyes."

"Yes, yes, with Ziqiao's talent, he is sure to win this time. It doesn't matter if I don't win, but seeing Ziqiao's happy news with my own eyes is a great joy in life."

……

Su Mu was still very proud when he heard their praise, but at this time he was very unhappy: So they came to find me Su Mu today because of my current reputation and they are optimistic about my future achievements in the literary world.

This person, even a scholar who is well-read and rational, is actually not exempt from vulgarity.

Su Mu smiled: "Brothers, please be respectful, Su Mu...hehe, you should go back earlier, don't delay the happy news because of Su Mu."

After speaking, he quickened his pace.

Everyone was ashamed, but they didn't stop walking, they still followed: "Zi Qiao and so on."

"Zi Qiao, listen to my explanation."

"It's my fault, it's my fault."

Su Mu just ignored and walked faster.

He couldn't find the right words for this group of people.When I was in Tongzhou last time, I would rather believe the rumors about Long Zai than my classmates.Now that I know the truth and see my future fame, I come to apologize.

It doesn't matter if you don't recognize such a classmate.

Poor Mu Sheng and the others are all four-body and inactive scholars, how can they beat Su Mu in their footwork.After walking a few streets, I was so tired that I put my hands on my hips and gasped for breath.

Looking up again, Su Mu had already gone so far that Yin Zi could not be seen.

When Su Mu returned home, he was taken aback when he saw the gate of the courtyard.

This, this, is this going to be like that?

……

At the same time, in the palace, Hu Shun finally met Emperor Hongzhi.
