Chapter 56
When Fan Xuanchao received the good news at home, his first reaction was: It is estimated that this bloody BMW may not be available, let's wait until Zhu Youjian becomes Emperor Chongzhen.
On the other hand, everyone in the family was so excited, "Master Chao won five yuan in a row, and I am the first one in Ming Dynasty." Jing Chuan was so happy that he couldn't speak.
Fan Xuanchao retorted: "Nonsense! During the Hongwu period, Huang Guan also passed the six leaders. During the Yingzong period, Shang Ren also passed the three yuan and the first. I just passed the Huiyuan exam. You have the courage to call it that, go down and get it." fine."
For a while, the elated servants in the house fell silent, not only silently, but even they didn't know what happened.
Why do others pass the Gongshi exam and want to set off firecrackers for three days and three nights, but my young master is different from others, so he wants to punish him on this good day.After all, if you don't fail the imperial examination, no matter what, the young master can at least get an official position.
Mrs. Zhang saw that his face was serious, without a trace of joy, and hurriedly said: "Jing Chuan is also happy for you, why are you bothering? Alright, let's pass Jing Chuan on."
Jing Chuan hurriedly bent down to salute, bowed and exited.
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand again, Hong Ling and Zizhu also led the people back, Jing Zhe glanced at Fan Xuanchao, seeing that he didn't show any sign, she also led the people down.
Mrs. Zhang asked Fan Xuanchao to come forward, took his hand and asked: "Before the person who announced the good news came today, I saw that you looked very worried. You have reprimanded Jing Chuan for the first time, but what is on your mind? "
Fan Xuanchao sighed, "Mother, it's not right for me to get married."
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows, amused in her heart, "How can it be wrong to win the Hui Yuan? Then those who win the Hui Yuan every time, that's good? And those who fail, do you want them to celebrate with each other?"
But after finishing speaking, Fan Xuanchao's face didn't look any better, so Zhang realized that he wasn't joking to prevaricate her, and quickly asked, "Why is it wrong?"
Fan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness Xin Wang and I have gotten too close."
"Everyone knows about it, and you are not on good terms with him, nor is it a day or two."
"But Your Majesty lost the third prince just a few days ago." Zhu Youxiao's third son, Zhu Cijiong, whose biological mother was Imperial Concubine Ren, was born in October last year. His health was not very good when he was born, so he left in the early spring.
Once the third son of the emperor left, Zhu Youxiao had no more princes under his knees, not only no princes, but also no princesses, all of them died young.It's almost like a curse.
Zhang's complexion changed, the third son of the emperor was only a few months old, not yet one year old, even though he was posthumously crowned Prince Xianhuai, the fact could not be changed.Under such circumstances, Fan Xuanchao, who is very close to His Royal Highness Xin Wang, may indeed arouse suspicion.
The chief examiner of the palace examination is Emperor Tianqi himself, and it is a process of rearranging the examination results.Although the ministers were the ones to make the bottom line first—after all, His Majesty the Emperor could not read—but if he insisted on Fan Xuanchao not winning the first prize, it would be easy.
"Then Chao'er has a countermeasure?"
"There are three yuans in the world, but there are no six poems in the world." Even Huang Guan in the Hongwu period won the title of six chiefs only after ten years of continuous examinations. Like his own son, he was invincible in repeated examinations.Sanyuan Jidi is already the highest honor that scholars all over the world yearn for, and it is the highest proof of literary talent. If you can be among the top six, it is worthy of a special mention.
"If you don't pass the exam, you won't pass the exam. Anyway, I have an official job." Fan Xuanchao said carelessly.
Mrs. Zhang broke his mind, "If you really thought so, you wouldn't have scolded Jing Chuan just now. You are still unwilling."
Fan Xuanchao was indeed not reconciled, if he was inferior in skills and failed the exam, then forget it, but if it was because of other non-examination factors that prevented him from winning the first prize, he would indeed vomit blood.
But you said that you want him to disassociate himself from King Xin, not to mention who believes in you now, Fan Xuanchao himself looks down on himself.Moreover, the most important reason is that it was not the son of Emperor Tianqi who became the emperor in the end, but Zhu Youjian, the king of faith!
Zhang said: "Even if you don't associate with His Royal Highness Xin Wang anymore, it's too late. What's more, you will leave the impression of Qin Muchu. In the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing to study and be an official is reputation. Good reputation Only then can we stand firm and talk about doing things.”
"That's right." Fan Xuanchao nodded in agreement. You see, the Donglin Party is like this now. Regardless of your real talents and learning, as long as you have a good reputation and integrity, and you are a member of the Donglin Party, they will support you to the end.
"In my opinion, you are the number one scholar..." She also felt heartbroken if Zhang Shi said it out. For others, it is a number one scholar every three years, but for Gongshi, it is a number one scholar for a lifetime, but compared to this moment It's more important to be refreshed and safe in the future, "It's better not to."
Fan Xuanchao couldn't help complaining: "The two of us have talked so much here, maybe when the time comes for the palace examination, one mountain will be higher than the other, even if it's the truth, it won't be my turn."
"Impossible." Mrs. Zhang said decisively, "The papers of the palace examination are not sealed or copied. All the ministers walk around to read the papers, so they can naturally remember the contents of your papers. You have made great efforts in the case of Wei Zhongxian, my lord. I also often walk with the Imperial Academy, and you won five yuan in a row, and the elders of the pavilion will give you the position of the number one scholar."
The champions of the middle school, especially the top six of the middle school, are sung all over the world, and once they become famous, they are known all over the world.What an honor, what a majesty, the whole person has embarked on a road of Qingyun, as long as he does not make mistakes, he will leave the cabinet and enter the prime minister within 20 years, and it is just around the corner.
Will the Donglin Party give this honor to others?
The only possibility is that something happened in the Donglin cabinet.
The top of the cabinet is the emperor.
Zhang comforted: "It's okay, as long as you are still in the top 36, you will have a chance to join the cabinet. Just don't fall to the third place."
Fan Xuanchao asked: "Daddy is the third equivalent Jinshi."
"Then just do better in the exam than your father." Zhang's expression did not change, "Your father has survived for so many years, and he is still not a fifth-rank Beijing official."
Fan Xuanchao: ...
---------------------------
On March [-]th, the Forbidden City, Jianji Hall.
At Yinshizhen, three hundred of the country's most elite tributes gathered outside the gate of the palace.Although it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was three o'clock in the middle of the night in the cold weather and snow, they didn't feel cool.Because from today onwards, they are the servants of the people in this huge empire.Then, it will gradually grow into the ruler of this country.Among them, there are natural abilities, political achievements and favors, which are also related to today's test scores.
It all depends on this starting point whether the top three become the capital officials directly, or whether the grades are behind and the county magistrate will not be a high-level county magistrate for the rest of his life.
Fan Xuanchao half-closed his eyes, hanging on Ni Houzhan.Compared with those excited fellow subjects, Fan Xuanchao, who had already prepared in his heart that he would not get the number one prize, just wanted to complain why no matter which step he got in the exam, he always arrived at the right time.
No, no, at least he got up at Yinshi for the previous exams, but this time it was even worse, he had to arrive at Yinshi.
Fan Xuanchao thought that even if no one tripped him, he would not be able to get the number one prize—he was really sleepy.
Seeing that he couldn't help but yawned again, Ni Houzhan pushed him secretly, "Cheer up."
Fan Xuanchao laughed at himself, "How do you want me to cheer up."
Both Ni Houzhan and Bai Yang had heard Fan Xuanchao's analysis, and when they heard what he said, they fell silent.Fan Xuanchao hurriedly made a rescue: "I fell asleep yesterday when I was so nervous that I was ugly. I didn't fall asleep for a moment or two before I was woken up. I really couldn't keep my eyes open."
Bai Yang persuaded: "Even if you can't cheer up, you have to fight hard. Otherwise, if it's true...someone will say that you disrespect His Majesty."
Fan Xuanchao passed the Huiyuan exam, and those voices who said that he had no one under his eyes disappeared, as if the light of his five yuan was too dazzling, and he couldn't see his "arrogance".But Fan Xuanchao knew that they were still there, and after the palace examination this time, they would come back again, making the noise even worse.
Historically, in the officialdom, the same subject has both blessings and difficulties, unless the two belong to different parties—even if they stand on different parties, there is normal communication between the same subjects.It is conceivable that apart from the teacher, the Jinshi of the same subject are the most united.
But Fan Xuanchao is really an anomaly. He has surpassed his peers by too much. He has taken up the light of more than 300 people. When he retires from the altar, there will be more to pay back.
Having said that, Fan Xuanchao actually wanted to shout arrogantly: "What do you know! I hugged the biggest thigh!"
But at this time...
It's better to cheer up and deal with the enthusiastic fellow subjects.
As soon as Maoshi arrives, just when the sun first rises, the gate of the palace opens and all officials enter the court.The tributes stepped aside and watched their seniors enter the palace.
Most of the university scholars have white hair, piercing eyes, python robes and jade belts, majestic and majestic.The servants of Shangshu are also full of energy and their waists are straight.As for Yuanwailang who was at the end, he watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
All beings are different.
Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan are both sons of officials, and their father also has the right to go to court, so they are used to it, and there are a few elders they know in the crowd.Fan Xuanchao even saw the British public at the beginning, but the British public didn't even look at this side, and went in without squinting.
On the contrary, Ni Houzhan was stared at by his father several times, and quickly cleared up the wandering eyes.
After a while, it was the turn of the tributes to enter the palace.Fan Xuanchao took the lead, and the tributes stood in line according to their ranks, and entered the palace with the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
This is not the first time for Fan Xuanchao to come to the palace. After all, in his previous life, students could visit the palace with a 20 yuan ticket.It's just that those old white jade steps can't be compared with the current white jade; there were tourists everywhere at that time, and naturally they couldn't be compared with the current officials and warriors; You have to take the test inside!
In winter, the sun had not yet risen at Maoshi, but a deep red had already appeared on the horizon, and the faintly indistinct palace gradually revealed a majestic and splendid appearance in front of them.
The solemn and solemn atmosphere affected Fan Xuanchao. In his mind, the Palace Museum hundreds of years later has been replaced by this real Forbidden City, the center of imperial power in the world.
