Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

In March in Yangchun, the weather is extremely warm.

After dinner, whether there is anything to do, Su Mu only felt his whole body go limp, and his eyelids kept fighting.

Spring is not about reading, my God!

Especially seeing Mr. Wu sleeping so soundly, Su Mu seemed to be infected.

Wu Shiqi slept soundly and soundly. At the beginning, Su Mu was still worried that something would happen to him.Later, when I saw him get up to urinate, I was relieved, knowing that everything was normal.

Not only Su Mu, but even Duan Jiong, who was sitting next to Mr. Wu, propped his chin with his hand, and fell asleep while sitting there.

Su Mu was really bored, seeing that there was no point in waiting like this, he also followed the example of others and curled up on the kang to sleep.

This is the first day, and the official exam has not yet started.There are still nine days to come. This kind of boring life makes me feel depressed and inhumane.Why can't this ancient exam be like modern society, one half a day, and you can go home after the exam?

*********************************************

Su Mu fell asleep with his head covered.

Time passed by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening, in the palace.

Emperor Zhengde sat on a chair with a depressed expression on his face.

Today is a big day for Enke in the first year of Zhengde, and it goes without saying that it is of great political significance.

Not only has he been sitting here for a whole day, but the three elders of the cabinet have also been here early, and they will hand out the examination papers when the time comes.

At the same time, there are a large number of attendant bachelors and attendant lecturers from the Imperial Academy as companions.

Today's Emperor Zhengde loves literature and despises martial arts, and he only likes to play around on weekdays. Asking him to sit here for such a long time is simply killing him.

After morning and evening court, he went back to the imperial study room and waited for the auspicious time for Enke to open the book together with the elders of the three pavilions.

Since Zhengde took office, he has been annoyed by the civil servants.In his previous opinion, as long as he was in charge, no one could control him.The sky is the oldest, the earth is the second, and I, the emperor, am naturally the third, and everyone else has to listen to me.

Unfortunately, the facts are somewhat different from what he imagined.Once Zhengde wanted to practice martial arts as usual, a large group of civil servants immediately came up with admonitions, saying that the son of a daughter would not be able to sit down.His Majesty's body is related to the country of the Ming Dynasty and the happy life of millions of people, how can he put himself in danger.This martial art is absolutely impossible to practice.

Even if there were no speech officials to harass, the daily affairs alone were enough for the emperor to have no private time.

It was only then that Zhengde realized that the role of the emperor appeared to be the son of heaven, but in fact, his words and deeds had long been drawn into an invisible circle.What you say and do must be within the scope of this trap.

This emperor doesn't have much taste.

Especially today, Enke, who has been the emperor since he ascended the throne, has something to do with his righteousness and face, so he must not be sloppy.

Because of this, Zhengde could only suppress his restless heart and sit there angrily.

In fact, it was still early for the papers to be awarded, and it would have to wait until dusk.

Coincidentally, today is the day of the emperor's banquet.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde had no choice but to listen to Liu Jian take a class.

At noon, there is a feast as usual.

After eating, I started to listen to the class again.

Zhengde was so depressed that he glanced at the solemn faces and thought in his heart: If Su Ziqiao was selected as a Jinshi, it would be great if he was appointed as a scholar in the Imperial Academy, I would definitely not be so boring.

However, the emperor did not have any confidence in Su Mu's imperial examination results in this period, whether he could be a Jinshi, and even selected a hall to enter the Imperial Academy.

There was a sudden, unexplained tension in his heart.

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde was scratching his head and scratching his face, the head assistant Liu Jian frowned.

The impulsive cabinet assistant Xie Qian coughed softly: "Your Majesty, a ruler should have his own dignity. You should sit like a bell on the Sumeru Seat. This is..."

It is necessary to teach the young emperor the principles of the sage cloud.

Xie Qian's eloquence, Emperor Zhengde, had been taught before, and he suddenly felt a little fearful. He sat up straight and waved his hands again and again: "Mr. There is no need to say more."

Then he turned back to Liu Jin with a smile and said, "Liu Ban, the reason why I sat up and down just now was because my vest suddenly felt a little itchy. Looking back, the weather has been cold these days, and I haven't showered for ten days, so hurry up and grab it. "

Liu Jin hurriedly reached out to grab it.

Zhengde laughed again: "I guess it's a lice, even if it's a lice, it's still an anti-lice."

The eunuchs who were waiting in the study wanted to laugh but didn't dare, their faces turned red.

Even Li Dongyang, a funny cabinet minister, didn't realize it.

Xie Qian was furious, and was about to teach him a lesson with a livid face. Suddenly, Zhang Yong, who was standing in front of the leak, called out: "The auspicious time has come."

Everyone looked at the leak that filled the water, but saw a buoy rising up, it was the time of Shen.

Zhengde made a small joke on Xie Qian, proud of his heart, and immediately said seriously: "It's finally here, bring the key!"

Liu Jian didn't care about getting angry, shook his head, untied a key from his waist, and handed it to the emperor together with Liu Jin's key.

Zhengde took the key, put it together, walked to Kaoqiang's gold cabinet, opened it, and there were three boxes inside.

Then, take out the three boxes and put them on the big case.These are the three sets of examination papers A, B, and C of this session's examination. On the surface, there is no difference.

After all, it is the highest level civil service examination in the country, no, it should be said to be the graduation examination of the senior cadre class.As long as you win, you will be awarded the seventh-rank official position immediately.

No matter how much they wanted to laugh, no matter how unhappy they were, everyone was still shocked by this solemn scene, and at the same time held their breath and looked over.

After a long time, Liu Jin said: "Long Live Lord, please choose a set of papers!"

Zhengde stretched out his hand and casually pointed to an examination paper: "Just this one."

Liu Jian took the wooden box seriously, and shouted: "Hurry up and send it to the examination room of the Gongyuan!"

"Hurry up and send it to the examination room of the Tribute Academy!"

A sound, like a relay, aroused echoes in the imperial city.

A group of fast horses drove out from the imperial city and galloped along the road that had already been martial law.

*******************************************************

The kang was too small, and after sleeping for a long time, my whole body ached.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a few cannons outside, and then a commotion.

Su Mu woke up suddenly, looked up, the sunset outside had already set, and the sunset glow was frighteningly red.Unexpectedly, he slept for the whole afternoon.

Probably also awakened by the sound of the cannon, the old Mr. Wu on the opposite side also straightened up.

However, because the sky had already dimmed, the inside of the test house was pitch black, and he could not be seen clearly.

Looking at the other test houses on the opposite side, they are already full of people.

Needless to say, the sound of cannons must be a signal that all the exams have entered and the Gongyuan is closed.

The ensuing uproar must have been the entry of the two chief executives and the eighteenth room examiner.

According to the system, when the chief executive enters the arena, he has to sit in a sedan chair, ring the gong to clear the way, and there are attendants behind him.

Then the outer curtain officer reported to the chief executive, and the etiquette officer rolled the name.

Su Mu had seen this whole set of procedures with his own eyes when he took part in the provincial examination.It's just that this time, the C-word test shed where he is located is too far away from the Zhigong Hall, so he can't see clearly.

He also woke up due to the commotion outside.

It took a long time for the uproar to quiet down.

The next thing to do is to have dinner and wait for the question paper.
