Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The time soon came to the early morning of April [-]th in the first year of Zhengde, which was a special day. According to the practice in the imperial examination field, it was the day of the three-year palace examination.

Su Mu traveled to the Ming Dynasty for two years, and after the time travel, he already had the intention of relying on the imperial examination to enter the officialdom.Therefore, in the feudal society, everything was low-grade, and only reading was high.Don't be an official, don't squeeze into the ranks of civil servants, let you have gold and silver, a small county magistrate can destroy your door.Even Shen Wanshan, who is as rich as Shen Wanshan, has no reputation, but kneels before seeing an official, and has no personality at all.

But once you become an official official, you are a member of the civil service system.Anyone who tries to turn you against is against the whole bureaucracy.

To put it in a sentence for later generations: You are an organized person.

In fact, after winning Huiyuan, the mission of a scholar is considered complete.To put it bluntly, the next re-examination and palace examination are just ranking matches, and there is no difficulty at all.

Su Mu has been waiting for this day for two years. He originally thought that he would be very excited, but when the day came, his head became numb and he couldn't lift his spirits.

In addition to numbness, there is also a faint pain.

When Xiaodie woke up early in the morning, Su Mu was still a little annoyed, and couldn't help moaning: "What did you call me so early, I'm so annoying, my head hurts, and my mouth is so thirsty!"

"My lord, today is the imperial examination, you should get up quickly!" Xiaodie hurriedly helped Su Mu up from the bed, and asked a little girl to bring over a cup of hot tea, and quickly poured it into Su Mu's mouth. go.

Moisturized by the tea, the throat that seemed to be cracking was finally relieved, and the headache didn't hurt so much.

But the eyes are full of gum, and the eyes are blurred.

Su Mu muttered: "Xiaodie, it's better to have a bowl of porridge in the morning, don't make it too complicated."

"Yes, my lord!" Xiaodie snorted angrily, "It's true that lord Kang doesn't come back home. He stays with us all day long, and even drags lord out to eat, drink and have fun. There's a good saying, Alcohol is gut-piercing poison, if you eat too much, even a body like a bull can't stand it."

Hearing Xiaodie mention Master Kang, Su Mu suddenly woke up and asked, "Where is Kang Hai?"

"Where else can I live in the guest room and wake up early. His drinking capacity is much better than that of you, sir." Xiaodie became more and more angry as she spoke: "I have never seen such a thick-skinned person. He will be ashamed as soon as he lives in our house." ten days."

Of course, Xiaodie only dared to complain in private.

Mr. Kang Haikang is the No.2 in this issue of Chunwei. Hearing from his master, if there is no accident, he must order Hanlin.In the future, he might still be able to be a prime minister. What kind of person is a prime minister?

What's more, it's hard for her, a little maid, to say anything when the elders are eating, drinking and having fun together.

Hearing Xiaodie's muttering, Su Mu laughed out loud, and then shook his head helplessly: He never thought that since he went to Wang Zhi's place that day, Kang Hai would entangle himself.

I don't know what's going on with this guy, but he and Su Mu hit it off right away, and he would lead Su Mu to recite poems and compose poems every day, and the Guangwen Club held three sessions.In the end, they simply lived in Su Mu's mansion directly, saying that it was a rare confidant in life, so naturally they refused to separate for a moment.

Su Mu didn't really like elegant gatherings among literati at all. With that kind of skill, he might as well go to the mountains and rivers with Hu Ying to have fun.Being targeted by him, Su Mu naturally had no chance to meet the two women.

At the beginning, Su Mu told Kang Hai cryptically that friendship is the most important thing in friendship, and it is very necessary to keep a certain distance. It seems that it is not interesting for everyone to stay together all day.

I don't know if it was Kang Hai who didn't understand, or pretended not to understand, anyway, he just pretended that Su Mu's words fell on deaf ears.

For the past ten days, Su Mu has been dragged by him to drink all day long, his head has been drunk, it can be called an alcohol test.What's more, when we are with a poet like Kang Hai, it is inevitable to write a few poems.It's a pity that Su Mu knows best about his own affairs.His so-called reputation as a talented scholar came from plagiarism. There were not many poems available from Jiajing in Ming Dynasty to modern times.

But Su Mu is now a generation of poets, and Kang Hai is one of the seven sons. On the surface, they are the top figures in the contemporary literary world.Moreover, the literary conference held by Kang Hai was extremely high-standard, and all the national treasure-level masters at the first level of Li Mengyang came.On this occasion, Su Mu has no possibility to write a few random poems to suit the occasion, and there is no way to hide his clumsiness.

Everyone is a master, and their eyes are also vicious. If you are not good, I am afraid that people will find out that you are an idiot.

There was no other way, Su Mu could only cheer up, and copied from Nalan Rongruo to Zha Shenxing, and from Wumei Village to Gu Yanwu.

The ancients have received countless praises, and there is a vague trend of No.1 poetry in the world.

But my own family knows best, if Kang Hai continues to do this, the inventory in Su Mu's chest may be exhausted.

He can only hope that the palace examination will come sooner, so that he can get the honor of Jinshi and become an official.At that time, everyone will have their duties, and there is no need to waste time on the romantic nights of literati.

Fortunately, it finally came to this day, but yesterday he drank too much, Su Mu couldn't lift his spirits, and he didn't even have any appetite.

On the other hand, Kang Hai was very excited, and he ate four big steamed buns weighing two and two in one go, and then squeezed into the same sedan chair with Su Mu and rushed towards the Forbidden City excitedly.

Through these ten days of contact with him, Su Mu has already asked the ins and outs of why he and he didn't crash in the test field without any trace, and he is completely relieved.

In fact, I'm afraid it's normal. When I see that Su Mu's paper is exactly the same as his own draft, and the beginning is even word for word, I will inevitably have doubts in my heart.

But Kang Hai himself is not normal, he is even more confused than Mr. Wu in some respects.Not only did he not feel that there was anything wrong, he objected to Su Mu's own feelings.This is also the reason why he had to stay by Su Mu's side for more than ten days, and even lived directly in Su Mu's mansion.

In his opinion, Su Mu is simply another self.

Afterwards, Su Mu even doubted his own orientation, wondering if this guy had other plans for him ----- good friends, forever!

In fact, in the real history, Kang Hai is just a small person. His greatest achievement in his life was winning the No. 16 Scholar in the [-]th year of Hongzhi, and then disappeared directly into the long river of history without even a single wave turn up.

Su Mu had read Kang Hai's relevant historical records when he helped his mentor compile the book "The Eight-legged Essay of the Number One Scholar in History".

According to the almanac analysis, this person is a bookworm.

Ordinarily, a number one scholar like Kang Hai, once the palace examination is over, will be directly selected into the Imperial Academy to be an editor and serve as the emperor's personal secretary.After several years of observing politics in the Imperial Academy, relying on his familiarity in front of the emperor and his qualifications as the No. [-] Scholar, he was sent to the six courts, and he had to be a servant no matter what.After more than ten years of experience, joining the cabinet is a matter of course.

In fact, according to the unspoken rules of Ming Dynasty officialdom.As long as you win any of the first prize, second place, or third place, you don't need to be very capable, or even do nothing, just earn your qualifications in the central government, and spend decades in the middle. Can't run away.

The problem is, this Kang Zhuangyuan, after a few years in the Imperial Academy, became worse and worse, and was finally demoted as a commoner and rushed back to his hometown in Shaanxi.

The thing is like this, if you say that you Kang Hai is a nerd, you have to have the self-consciousness of a nerd. Anyway, you just need to be educated in the Imperial Academy, and you should not interfere with things beyond your power.

But this gentleman is confused and likes to take action when encountering things.

After he won the first prize, Liu Jin, the chief inspector of ceremonies, gained power. Considering that everyone is a township party member, he deliberately wooed him.

Civil servants and servants are incompatible, especially when Eunuch Liu was in power, he was domineering. You have to keep a distance from this kind of person.But Kang Hai couldn't rely on the affection of his fellow countrymen, and had contacts with Liu Jin, which had violated the taboo of civil servants.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and thought it was natural for fellow villagers to meet and say a few words together.

Later, Li Mengyang was framed by Liu Jin, and Kang Hai even interceded.For Kang Hai's sake, Eunuch Liu let Li Mengyang go.

The crux of the problem is that Li Mengyang is the leader of Qingliu in the imperial court, so he will find something if nothing happens.Being arrested and imprisoned by Liu Jin this time is a great thing to shake the world, Master Li wanted to take advantage of this to support himself.In the 14th year of Hongzhi, Li Mengyang beat Zhang Heling in the street, using the same propaganda method.In the end, when he was mentioned, Mr. Li, scholars all over the world would give a thumbs up and praise him: "Strong iron bones, the style of the ancients."

In the end, a good show was ruined by Kang Hai.When others mentioned this matter, they felt that Liu Jin was magnanimous, nostalgic, and not a pure villain.

Things turned out differently, why didn't Mengyang fly into a rage.

Therefore, after being released from prison, Li Mengyang and all the civil servants not only ignored Kang Hai's love, but wrote him down.

When Liu Jin was executed by the court for treason, Kang Hai was also classified as an eunuch by everyone and kicked out of the court.

In the final analysis, Kang Hai is such a naive guy with no sense of politics. With his EQ, it is impossible for him to gain a foothold in the court where the eyes are full of people.

However, it is still possible to be friends with such a person, at least they are very frank.

Even if he's really out of touch sometimes.

Anyway, Su Mu has been annoyed by him in the past few days. Compared with this kind of honest bastard who has no scheming, Su Mu is more willing to deal with real villains.

When dealing with villains, you at least know how to deal with them.But facing Kang Hai, you have no way of judging what he will do next.
