Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Among the 30 concubines selected by Xinke Top Three and Quan, there are still few people from the North and the majority from the South. Most of the people are still enjoying the vacation with the patriarch, or have just embarked on the return journey. Only Cui Xie and Guo Yong were born in Beizhili. They gave a short vacation. As soon as the two-month vacation arrives, you have to go to the imperial courtyard early. Onboarding.

Guo Yong was a concubine, and he followed the prince You Concubine Wang Xie and Zuo Yude Fu Han according to the rules when he entered the Hanlin Academy, without the need for Yin Xueshi to bother. Cui Xie, the number one scholar, wanted to make Yin Zhi, the master of the school, bother to arrange a position for him.

If it was before the Enrong banquet, Xueshi Yin would dare to arrange him an error-prone position, holding him off the handle and demote him to another place; but since the Enrong banquet, Peng Ge had a stroke and returned home. Someone is worried, I'm afraid it will be damaged.

That is, Wanshou is supplemented by the respect of a country's Zaifu. To break his in-laws, he wrote to his father to do it. Looking at the two examples in front of him, Old Yin Ge didn't want to touch the muddy water, so he sent him to the secretary of Xiuzhong, just begging him not to obstruct his eyes in front of him, and not to look in front of the emperor.

However, perhaps Cui Xie's fate was too hard, and God would not allow him to fulfill his small wish by Yun Xueshi.

Soon after Hanlin joined the company, it was the third day of June, the day of the banquet. The emperor Chenghua himself hadn't listened to the banquet for a long time, but remembered to ask the prince to work hard to learn. When he saw the performance of the banquet by the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Yin, he always said, "Prince, studies, how about it?"

The **** who has little power in the uterus has always been the **** who is also in charge. He immediately responded: "The prince is smart, and he reads very hard. He still uses papers to test himself after class. Several gentlemen often praise him for his diligence and quickness."

Nowadays, there is no concubine Wan Gui and Liang and Wei Erjian to stir up trouble. Qin Chang and Gao Eunuch are both orthodox people, and they say good things to the prince when they seize the opportunity. Emperor Chenghua's affection for the prince is also getting closer. Whenever I hear these words, I have to boast a few words and give me some new books, pens and pens, to show kindness.

This time because there were new jinshi entering the dynasty, the emperor suddenly remembered that the prince still had several companions who had become new jinshi in this subject, so he asked one more sentence: "How many people are there for the test? Pick someone again."

The senior **** didn’t have a chance to perform, so he hurriedly replied: “Back to the emperor, there are Cui Xie, Fei Hong, Qu Shen, and Zheng Zongren in this subject. Two of them are Cui Fei. The top three ranks have been awarded the Hanlin position, and Qu Shen has also been selected among the celebrities, but Zheng Zongren is watching politics at the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Cui Xie is also a child prodigy brought up by the emperor. He also scored two yuan in the exam and made a face for the emperor. Emperor Chenghua could remember him even if he didn’t remember others. He picked him out and asked: "Will Cui Xie return? I remember, his home is not far away."

Naturally, I came back. After I returned to Beijing, I visited Gao Baihu's home and sent things to Gao Baihu's home, including some consecration charms from various temples. A filial son like Gao Baihu naturally had to pick up a good one and send it to his adoptive father. He also mentioned to him the rumor that Titrixie could not marry a wife. The **** Gao felt sorry for him for a while.

Even an **** like himself has to marry a wife and adopt a son to enjoy a family relationship, but Cui Xie is a good man but has to be alone. It’s easy to suffer when you are young, but when you are old, there is no caring child to take care of, but how do you live?

Gao Gonggong pityed him in his heart, and he did not hesitate to say good things about him in front of the emperor: "Master Cui is close, and he is also anxious to handle the emperor's errands, and he refuses to delay time. He reported to the officials early last month. In the Hanlin Academy, because Xueshi Yin saw him as young, he asked him to study and repair books with several editors so that he could work for the emperor in the future."

The emperor Chenghua nodded his head, as he recognized Yin Ge's arrangement, and only added one more sentence: "Since I am editing, I can serve as an exhibition officer."

Although the emperor does not like to listen to Mr. Lectures, as long as the banquet system is still there, and there is a possibility of hearing it again someday, you have to add the right people in it-Cui Xie Dianxue is good at writing the article, and can be thorough. Insight into current vulnerabilities, strong police policies, and knowledge of the people by observing their writings are the talents who are suitable for serving the emperor for inquiries!

In fact, this year's runner-up is also a young and handsome official. Unfortunately, his family is in Jiangxi, and he can't return to the DPRK for two months. Let's make arrangements when he comes back.

The emperor’s words are the imperial decree, and Gao Gonggong himself preached it, and the bachelor of the school, Yin Ge, had to hold back his grievances and accept the decree.

He managed to put Cui Xie in the least prone place, thinking that he would be able to hold him down for more than ten years, but he didn’t want to spend more than ten days without telling him. The emperor thought of Cui Xie and mentioned him specifically. A position of being able to face saints. His emotional arrangements are in vain! There is no need for Li Dongyang and Li Xiya, Cui Xie himself is in the emperor's heart, and can climb up with the holy pet alone!

Old Yin Ge silently vomited blood and looked at the dazzling young Cui Zhuangyuan, who was kneeling beside him, and felt great anxiety in his heart.

He himself relied on Zhongzhi to become a Hanlin Bachelor from the Right Servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he knew particularly well about the word "sacred heart". Looking at this junior who also came up with the sacred heart, he became more vigilant and unpleasant. Silently moved to suppress my heart.

Originally I only wanted him to sit on a cold bench for a few years, and waited until he couldn’t bear to move to the Ministry. Now that he had such ups and downs, he didn’t have to stand by him, so I’ll give him a copy later. Opportunity to produce articles. If he is unwilling to live up to himself, there is a taboo negligence in the written text...

But now the town caretaker is hard-headed and seems to have some friendship with him, afraid that he won't be able to listen to the cabinet. Asking for **** to the point where he wants to leave the Jinyiwei Yamen, he is dealt with in the courtyard, and ask him to let him be a foreigner who knows the state.

Old Yin Ge tried to do his own scheming, but he didn't expect it to happen, and he always disrupted his arrangements time and time again.

This time, it was not that the emperor suddenly wanted to promote Cui Xie, but that the emperor suddenly suffered from diarrhea, and became so violently sick that he overwhelmed all major events in Chaozhong.

Since the death of Concubine Wan Gui, even though Emperor Chenghua felt that the concubine was gone more than once, he could not live alone, but his body was not seriously ill. He was always mentally ill. This time, the diarrhea disease came quickly and severely. Since the emperor fell ill on August 13th, he has not been able to look at the direction, and even the sacrifice ceremony at Fengtian Temple on August 15th and 16th cannot be performed.

Although the imperial order from the palace repeatedly said that the diarrhea had ceased and that the patient only needed to be treated for a few more days, the emperor never saw the ministers again. Instead, he ordered the prince to temporarily take charge of the government and his subjects would worship.

He grew up under the knees of the Queen Mother of Zhou and was a thorn in the harem’s pampering concubine for many years. He had never been favored in front of Emperor Chenghua. To the former courtiers, he was just a prince representing the country and the orthodox symbol. He finally walked out of the East Palace. Standing on the imperial rank, he first came into contact with the supreme power of Ming.

Never let go again.

His body was still thin and thin, and when he was wearing court clothes to accept the etiquette of a hundred officials, he was calm and mature, as majestic and dignified as the emperor who sat on the throne before.

He didn't say much when he was facing up, and he always relied on the cabinet and asked the emperor when handling government affairs, and he did not express too much of his own meaning. But his eyes have seen the thoughts and behaviors of the officials in the court, and he is already planning how to use the veterans who are willing to do things to change this dark court.

The three cabinet elders, Wan'an, Liu Ji, and Yin Zhi, keenly felt the aura of the change of dynasty. When they went to sparse to relieve the emperor’s life and recuperation, they also slapped the prince secretly, saying that since he saw the court, Chinese and foreign " People's minds are restless".

However, the prince still kept his duty. After reading the memorials, he did not make any comments. He only asked the internal servant to extract the main points according to the old rules and give them to Emperor Chenghua for reading.

The emperor supported the sick body and replied to this old pavilion's memorial book, but was unable to look at others anymore. In the next two or three days, the emperor only approved a few memorabilia to sacrifice to the gods according to the law, and sent a lawsuit against the families of the two princesses Yongqing and Jiaxiang to Jinyiwei for investigation and punishment, and the last effort was exhausted.

On August 21, Emperor Chenghua was already lying in bed and unable to get up. He no longer insisted on telling the **** to pass on the Taiping words "Illness has gradually diminished" and "Don’t worry if you wait for the Qing Dynasty." Instead, he called the prince to the bed and taught He is the way of the emperor.

Emperor Chenghua has been in the imperial court for twenty-four years, saying how concerned he is about the affairs of the country is naturally not counted, but when he first came to the throne, he was a famous emperor, and he was also proficient in national politics for more than twenty years, but he was unwilling to be so diligent later. It's only political.

Now that the big day is approaching, Emperor Cheng Hua looked at the prince who was as ambitious as he was when he was enthroned, and suddenly remembered his ambition when he was the emperor at the beginning of the year. He couldn’t help holding the prince’s hand and teaching: "My son must respect the heaven and the father. , Diligence and love for the people, if there is any indecision, please consult Mr. Cabinet in advance..."

The prince knelt in front of the bed, feeling the rare and last father's love in this life, and carefully remembered what he had told him.

The last Qingming of the emperor was given to the prince. To the concubine Shao Guifei, Concubine Zhang De, Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Zhang Li, Concubine Yao An... and other beloved concubines, there was nothing to say, and only a few words to appease the kings, and fell into a coma. .

On the 22nd, the emperor of Chenghua died. The prince made a sacrifice to his ancestors in the Fengtian Hall. The cabinet issued a new system of edicts and issued the world in the name of the emperor of Daxing, and the prince succeeded to the throne.

The sound of the cloud board spread all over the place. Cui Xie listened to it in the imperial court's duty room, and followed the seniors in the same room to stand up and look in the direction of the Forbidden City.

After the death of Emperor Chenghua, it was the Hongzhi Dynasty from now on.

At the beginning, he only regarded the emperor as a historical figure. In the two years he returned to Beijing, he even figured out how to use the death of Xianzong and Wan Guifei to sell cloth...

It was not until the long-awaited new dynasty arrived that he realized that the emperor who had seen two or three faces was not just a historical figure on paper, he was someone he had really seen and had given himself many benefits, and this The man has just passed away.

Cui Xie suddenly saw the emperor who had seen him more than once, but had never been able to see his true face. His eyes were not sour, and he raised his sleeves and wiped tears with the mourning seniors beside him.

The people in the courtyard immediately changed their plain clothes and black horn belts. Since the turn of the day, they started crying outside the door of Si Shan. After crying for two days, they could only stay in the Yamen after they cried. They were not allowed to return home and eat. No wine or meat.

On the fourth day, all the officials put on the heaviest hemp in the five clothes, and went to the Sishan gate to cry day and night.

The outside of Sishan's gate was covered with a miserable yellowish white color, and the most romantic Jinyiwei in the past was also pale. Cui Xie spent a lot of effort among the military officials to find Xie Ying. He held a face that was paler than Mai, and his cheeks were slightly shaved because of hunger. Maybe it was because he cried for too long this day and his eyelids were swollen . But those eyes were washed with tears, and they seemed to be more refreshing than usual, looking at him comfortingly in the twilight.

Cui Xie stared at him silently, but couldn't give him a smile back. He just blinked slowly, trying to convey something that he couldn't even explain.

Three days later, and another seven days later, they will come to Sishan to cry, only hope that when they meet again, they will look better than they are now.
