The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 133
It stands to reason that after the Imperial Examination of the current subject, it should be "pointed to the Imperial Academy" soon, and it will be awarded to the No. [-] Scholar for editing and writing, and the second and third best Jinshi will have to go through the imperial examination to select whether to enter. Imperial Academy.

But today, some accidents happened.

When Zhang Tingyu got up the next day, Zhang Ying was still in the hall.

Suo'etu's party was already furious, and Prince Yinreng went outside to meet Zhang Ying, but he didn't even have any etiquette to his husband, so he just threw up his sleeves and left.

On the contrary, Yinzhen, who was following behind, came forward and congratulated Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying only knew that the fourth elder brother had a deep mind and was close to the prince, so she didn't dare to talk to Yinzhen, so she just bowed and thanked him.

The eighth elder brother in the back is very enthusiastic, but it's a pity that Zhang Ying still looks like a refrain, and has no intention of choosing sides or planning for her son at all.

Seeing Nalan Mingzhu next to her, she twirled her beard amusedly, and said to Zhang Ying before going in, "Do you want me to help you?"

"Don't worry about it clearly."

Zhang Ying politely declined.

Zhang Ying herself knows best what she declined.

But how can only one Nalan Pearl help?

This time, Zhang Tingyu offended all the people on the side of the prince. This kid is not afraid, but the next thing is still difficult. The only thing he can rely on is the trust and appreciation of the emperor.Up to now, the prince is dissatisfied because Wang Yi was deposed to the first place in the second class, and the cabinet minister Xiong Cilu who pushed Wang Yi up before has a bad face.

Wang Yi can be regarded as Xiong Cilu's protégé, Xiong Cilu is Suoxiang's man, and Suo'etu works for the prince, one link after another.

Today in court, it is time to discuss the matter of the entry of the new scholar into the Imperial Academy. Originally, he was preparing for the imperial examination, but there were disputes everywhere about the champion of the current department. Zhang Ying stood aside. He is the father of the champion of the new department. It is not appropriate to speak.

Kangxi was very happy at first. After reading Zhang Tingyu's answer sheet, he thought about the current river governance. In ancient times, he was quite courageous.Such a person does not rely on his talents and let go, he is a rare good seedling.

Kangxi said: "The Ceremony of Chuanlu is over, and the newly recruited Scholars have gone to their families. The Hanlin Academy is preparing to hand over three of them..."

"Long live my lord, this servant thinks that the rest of the top three have no objection, except for the number one scholar..."

Suo'etu stood up immediately, and his words were not very polite. He counted Zhang Tingyu's first two consecutive exits from the examination room, and the first Shuntian's re-examination and approval of papers, trying to smear it.

Li Guangdi on the side laughed when he heard it. Why didn't Suo'etu understand?
At the beginning, Suo'etu tried his best to win over Zhang Ying, but now because he wanted to promote Wang Yi, he belittled Zhang Ying's son to death. Can Zhang Ying and Suo'etu become allies in the future?

It's better to dream.

Suo'etu was confused and impatient like the prince. How could the person appointed by the emperor at this moment refute the emperor's face in such a face-to-face?
Li Guangde coughed, stood up and said a good word: "Master Suo's words are unreasonable. The two top names in the papers are proof of high talent. If such a high talent is not selected, you should wrong us. Wang Yi, who is not very good at the No.2 paper, your eyes are different from ordinary people, they grow backwards."

"Master Li, why are you swearing at people indiscriminately!"

Suo'etu was so angry that he stared straight at the court. The matter of the court discussion was originally to say that the public is right and the woman is right. You have your reasons, and I have my refutation.

Anyway, he, Li Guangdi, is an emperor's party, so if you have the guts, come and bite me!

Li Guangdi pushed his hands into his sleeves, and the old god buried his head on the ground, staring at the ground three feet in front of him, and said: "It is said that your eyes are upside down, but you did not say that you are blind. Why are you so excited?" ah?"

Li Guangdi sometimes has a poisonous mouth, and he has long since looked down on Li Guangdi.

Anyway, Zhang Ying is still a member of our party, can you hurt others like you?It is thanks to you that you are not ashamed to belittle Mr. Zhang to nothing!
Zhang Ying stood by and kept silent, just listening to the disputes of the crowd.

If you show your sharpness, you will definitely be overwhelmed.

Just starting out and entering the officialdom, the starting point should not be too high, if it is too high, it is easy to fall.

Zhang Ying has her own considerations, but all these considerations are not as good as the emperor's words.

Kangxi looked at Suo'etu who was bouncing around below, and sneered. Before he could speak, the people below started chattering. Who is going to be the emperor?
He looked at the seal on the imperial case, and suddenly said slowly: "Suo'etu, since you have such an idea, why don't you take my seal and write an imperial decree to seal it on it."

With a "plop", Suo'etu immediately knelt on the ground, dripping with cold sweat, and said: "I dare not die!"

"Don't dare? Don't you think you are very brave? Don't think that I am blind!"

Now the whole day is full of party disputes, everyone is smart, but it's a pity that Kangxi is not a fool, he can see everything clearly!With old Zhang Ying's heart to protect the calf, with Li Guangdi's grievances, with the selfishness of Suo'etu and the prince, and with the heart of countless civil and military people waiting to see a good show...

Perhaps their disciples were involved, so I was worried while watching the play.

In a few days it will be the imperial examination, which is called "Guanxuan". It is an examination for the selection of new subjects by the Hanlin Academy. These people are now fighting openly and secretly.

It was very interesting.

Kangxi squeezed the booklet in his hand, and suddenly smashed at Suo Ertu who was kneeling below!

After a "beep", Suo'etu's?Dai Du was crooked, and he only dared to kneel on the ground and keep silent.

"Look at what this is! Do you think your Suo'etu is so clean? You have piled up a mountain of papers! If you can't give an explanation at the court meeting tomorrow, you can go live for the rest of your life!"

As soon as Kangxi waved his hand, Suo'etu picked up the folder on the ground and looked at it, his face turned pale.

He and the crown prince supported a group of officials in the south of the Yangtze River, amassing money wantonly in the three rivers of Chayan River, but he didn't want the people below to do things too arrogantly and aggressively. Don't follow me", when you meet the timid, maybe things will be done, but it is hard to keep those who are jealous, Jiang Ning weaving Cao Yin is the emperor's eyeliner, maybe he said something to the emperor...

Suo'etu looked at the brochure and knew that Zhang Tingyu was powerless to stop it.

He kowtowed dejectedly: "This matter has nothing to do with slaves, please ask Long Live Lord to investigate clearly!"

"Today the court will not hold you accountable, so get out. The court exam will be held three days later, since so many people feel that the number one scholar I nominated is not worthy of the name, then let this son go to the court test as usual, and the Imperial Academy will also be ordered as usual!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Kangxi's words.

Even Zhang Ying raised her head suddenly, then knelt down and bowed her head: "Your Majesty must not!"

If the Imperial Academy is as usual, it means that Zhang Tingyu, who is the number one scholar, still joins the Imperial Academy, and it is a great honor to become the editor of the Imperial Academy; to order Zhang Tingyu to take the imperial examination as usual, that is, to let Zhang Tingyu take the imperial examination with the second- and third-ranked people, After being selected by the Hanlin Academy, if this son is outstanding, he can win another "Chaoyuan"!
This is not the emperor wanting to suppress Zhang Tingyu, this is making Suo Etu and others vomit blood!
He wanted to hold Zhang Tingyu up high, so that everyone could see Zhang Tingyu!
The examinations of the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to "Yuan", that is, the first name in each examination. Zhang Tingyu won the first case three times when he was a child. , but won the fourth prize in a row, but at the time of the test, only the second best was the first, so I lost the middle "huiyuan", and finally made up a "championship" and came back. Yuan.

Now the emperor saw that he was missing one, and asked Zhang Tingyu to come up to make up for the imperial examination!
Generally, the top three of the first class also participate in the imperial examination, but the answer sheets of these three people are usually read by the marking officers at random, and then directly put into the first-class answer sheet and directly entered the Hanlin.

And the number one in the second class is very likely to become the first name in the imperial examination, and the first name is "Yuan", which means there is another "Chaoyuan".

Now what the emperor meant was not to test Zhang Tingyu's talent at all, but to use Zhang Tingyu to slap the old man Suo'ertu fiercely!
Zhang Ying never dared to let his son get such a big limelight. He has always been cautious and cautious. He is naturally happy to see his son rise to the top, but if the starting point is too high, it will be too high. Be tougher!

Zhang Ying kowtowed on the ground, only hoping that the emperor would take back his order, but Kangxi has made up his mind, how can he pay attention to him?
Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Guangdi didn't care if it was a disgrace in front of the palace, so he pulled Zhang Ying up and scolded him in a low voice: "You are an idiot, you are an idiot!"

At any rate, today's court meeting broke up in a chaotic manner, but the emperor's decree had already been issued. Zhang Tingyu received the imperial decree and the court uniform compiled by the Hanlin in the mansion, and brought a small seal with him, and was rewarded by the eunuch , and then went back with the imperial decree.

He sat down, but threw the imperial decree: "After entering the Hanlin, high-ranking officials and generous salary will be waiting for you. The Hanlin editor is specially designed for the number one scholar, so it is also called the palace writing. You know that ordinary people call it the Hanlin." what?"

Gu Huaishu saw that he had finally returned to his idle appearance, but felt that everything was different from before.

She helped the fat man walk on the ground, and now she was able to walk a few steps slowly. She stood two steps in front of the fat man, watching the little fat man walking towards her tremblingly, every step All extremely thrilling.

Seeing the baby swaying, her heart swayed accordingly, and she was afraid that he would fall, but she also knew that he had to walk by himself, so she didn't dare to help him, so she could only watch in fear.

Now Zhang Ying, looking at Zhang Tingyu, is it not Gu Huaishu who is looking at Fat Brother?

As soon as the court came, someone came outside to invite Zhang Tingyu. Before Zhang Tingyu had time to tell Gu Huaishu about the Imperial Academy, Uncle Fu came.

I remember that after the test that day, Zhang Ying asked someone to come to Zhang Tingyu, who was blocked by Zhang Tingyu's blunt words "not going".

Everyone is saying that the old lady suddenly went berserk last night and threw things all over the room.

After Gu Huaishu watched Zhang Ying leave, he asked someone to take the jade ring that was on the desk, "Send a clever maid to send this topaz ring back to the old lady, and say that the fat man is tired of playing. "

At this time, I dare not let my maid appear in front of Wu Shi, I just let Wang Fushun's family pick it up.

Sure enough, after a while, the servant girl came back in fear and said that she hadn't walked out of the old lady's yard when she heard the sound of something being smashed inside. It turned out that the old lady smashed the jade ring with a tea bowl in a rage, but the tea bowl was also broken and pierced. The old lady had her hands full, and now she has passed out.

Gu Huaishu was speechless when he heard this, and stood in front of him with his fat brother in his arms, looked back at the pile of ledgers, and thought of the two newly added concubines in the big house.

The days to come will be more and more interesting, and more and more hopeful.

She rubbed the fat boy's fat face, and the boy stretched out his fleshy hands to pull her hair, and shouted: "Mother, mother..."

Gu Huaixiu smiled and said, "Little Fatty, it's going to rain."

When the maids outside heard these words, they glanced subconsciously. The wind is sunny, so is there any sign of rain?

The second young lady is also strange.

Zhang Tingyu has already arrived at Zhang Ying's study, knocking on the door respectfully and entering.

Zhang Ying watched him walk in. There were piles of written or unwritten notebooks on the case. There were also a few old books, an inkstone, a few brushes hanging on the shelf, and the paperweight was slanted. Pressing obliquely on a piece of rice paper, Zhang Ying sat behind the desk, looking at Zhang Tingyu.

"At the beginning, you made an agreement with me to be number one in the second class. Now I know that you started to plan early, and your ambition is not small."

Zhang Tingyu lowered his eyes, but smiled: "Father has piercing eyes, and my son can't match them."

Zhang Ying was leaning on the armrest with both hands, with a relaxed and peaceful posture, which was a kind of indifference and tranquility that belonged to the elderly.He sighed: "At that time, when Lord Long Live read the marking papers of Shuntian's re-examination, I felt that something was wrong. Li Guang said that he checked his answer papers later. I have been an official for so many years, how could I not check it?" The answer sheet? The answer sheet you approved, which is the one that was later selected and praised by the Long Live Lord, was put in it after I checked the paper. "

What "I don't know what I think", "Brother, you are wrong", what "capon" and "reed chicken", if Zhang Ying saw it, how could such a review paper be passed in front of the emperor?
The handwriting on the marking paper cannot be changed, and the real examiner of the palace examination is the emperor.

Usually, someone would hand over the test paper to the examiner. If the examiner wanted to promote himself, he would naturally know the handwriting; but Zhang Tingyu was so bold that he "handed the test paper" to the emperor long before the test. An absurd yet exquisite review paper!
Until that day when Zhang Tingyu handed in the paper early, Kangxi really noticed the answer paper that was handed in too early, and then he caught his eye, and then the handwriting, so it was clear.

From the beginning of the approval of Shuntian re-examination papers, this son has been painstakingly planning; and then the first-name hand-in of the two consecutive general examinations and palace examinations, usually the first-place hand-in papers must attract people's attention, let alone someone like Zhang Tingyu who got it early Can't submit papers earlier?
One link after another, even a while ago, there was Zhou Daoxin, an Hanlin, who inadvertently mentioned in front of the hall that Wang Yi raised actors and wrote poems to ridicule his friends. This person has a lot of talents, so he definitely can't be recorded as the number one scholar!
Perhaps Suo'etu and others thought it was the emperor's favor for Zhang Tingyu, but they didn't know that all of this was the painstaking scheme of his second son!
Which one is a coincidence?

It's only more beautiful than the Nine Links. If the mind is a little shallower, who can wear these clues?
One by one, Zhang Ying explained Zhang Tingyu's painstaking efforts to figure out the complicated scheme behind this champion. Zhang Tingyu could only smile lightly, and continued to compliment: "Jiang is still hot when he is old, and his son is not as good as his father."

It is said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but his son is not a calf, but a fierce tiger. How did he say that he was afraid or not?

Zhang Ying closed her eyes, as if she was a little tired after speaking: "This time you offended Suo'etu and others, the road ahead is not smooth, bumpy and thorny, you must have already figured it out in your heart. There will be a court exam in three days, and you will come with me The top two and three top Jinshi will rank you together. I have no control over how you do it. I just advise you for my father. If you are too rigid, you will break easily, if you are too high, you will fall, if the water is full, you will overflow, and if the moon is full, you will lose money. Huiyuan's loss is because of my father's failure to forgive you, Chaoyuan, you can weigh it yourself. But when you enter the Imperial Academy, I have to suppress you."

Zhang Yingnai is a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, so it can be said that it is easy for him to suppress his own son.

He first made it clear to Zhang Tingyu here that it is not good to start too high, not at all.

This is his experience as an official for many years. Whether it is useful or not depends entirely on whether Zhang Tingyu uses it or not.

In fact, these words already revealed Zhang Ying's meaning. He wanted to suppress him, and then lead his son into an official career step by step, just like Zhang Ying helped Zhang Tingzan up one by one.

Zhang Yingdao: "Are you convinced?"

Zhang Tingyu naturally knew the truth. There was still a period of dormancy before entering the Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy stayed at the center of the capital's politics, and was exposed to thousands of officialdoms. Afterwards, it was the right way to officially become a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

He only said: "My child is convinced."

Everything was settled, Zhang Ying finally let go, he laughed, and sighed: "Hanlin Hanlin, Hanlin are called "Chuxiang", but I don't know if you can have a "xiang" after your name in the future. .go ahead..."

Hanlin, Prime Minister.

Zhang Tingyu stood up and bowed before leaving the study.

From then on, he should be called "Zhang Hanlin" or "Zhang Dianzhuan".
