The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

At this moment, only Sister Feng dared to support Mrs. Wang and said with a smile, "Yu is still young, his brother was only willing to study hard at the age of [*], and he was in school in two months. If it were earlier, I'm afraid I could really take care of the old lady. As I said, be a champion! In my opinion, Baoyu is much smarter than his brother, his brother can win, and the wife is worried that Baoyu won't be able to win? It's not necessary!"

Saying this, I thought to myself, it would be better if you don't study and take the imperial examinations!

The old lady smiled and said: "Feng girl, you want to go with me when Baoyu wants to study, isn't there a chance for him to be a scholar?"

They all blamed Jia Lian for being too easy to read and study, making them think that the rank-and-file scholars are Chinese cabbage on the street, everywhere.

Li Wan, the only person who understands, made up his mind not to talk too much

Chapter [*] I have fulfilled your reputation. In the Jingwan circle, when Jia Lianxiang won the last place in the test, everyone regarded it as a joke.

If a good boy doesn't do it, turn around and go back to study, the last one is really shameful!

But this time when Jia Lian was the last one in the test, everyone didn't dare to laugh at it. It was a model of counterattack. I have never heard that he won two yuan in a row and three yuan in a row. Who can win two tails in a row? Jia Lian is it!

In the Daming Palace, the Ministry of Rites handed over the roster to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at it briefly and turned to the last page, then put it down, "I heard that there are rumors outside that there is a double-layer tribute?"

Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites immediately returned to Tai and said, "Jia Lian, the [*]th honoree of Jinke, was also the last in the township examination in Beijing last year, so he was given this nickname because of good deeds."

The emperor smiled and said: "This is also strange, Jingzhao Township tried to solve the Yuan and fell off the list, and at the end of the list is a star again. "Sixty or thirty" has never been seen in this dynasty."

Zhang Shangshu saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and smiled: "Actually, this minister has especially selected Jia Lian's inscription, the literary style and rationale are quite impressive, especially the fact that the statement has actual evidence, even if it is not good enough, it will not be the last one. name."

"Oh?" The emperor asked curiously, "Then why is he a list star again?"

Zhang Shangshu explained: In the last session of the examination, Mr. Jia, the imperial supervisor, served as the chief examiner, and he was still very elegant.In this exam, Shen Dashi is the main examiner, Dai Shilang is the deputy, and the words are smooth and smooth. The same examiner originally chose Jia Lianjuan as the first room in the room. Shen Da Shicai was changed to the last one. "

Zhang Shangshu accidentally stumbled on Dai Yi, and praised Jia Lian a few words along the way (the emperor laughed: "This is Dai Yi, that's all! Jia Lian's two poems have also been read. He must be talented, but he has a strong habit of playfulness, and I didn't even think that he was really successful! I will take a look at him when the palace exam is over."

On the fifteenth day after the palace exam, the palace exam only examines policy questions. The candidates enter from dawn, and go through the etiquette of calling and distributing the papers, chanting, salute, etc., and then issuing the policy questions. Jia Lian followed the [*] tributes in front and entered the Huangji Hall. The hall was filled with [*] tables and tables, on which were covered with ink, ink, ink, and ink.

Quickly find the last vacant seat and sit down, the topic has already been placed on it.

Sitting high on the throne, the emperor could not see clearly that the three hundred tribute soldiers were trembling and answering meticulously.

Jia Lian has seen the emperor several times, and he is not very afraid, but in this solemn hall, there are many pairs of eyes staring at you even in the wrong place.

There was only one whole day for the palace exam, but Jia Lian finished writing early as usual, and there was more than half a day left.

Under the gaze, Jia Lian is not good at cutting paper and playing poker.

I held my body straight for an hour, until noon, I couldn't stand it anymore, I fell asleep on the case, and someone fell asleep during the palace exam!

You have lost your honor in front of the king, and this is paid? The inspector and the inspector will immediately drag Jia Lian out, and they still want to be admitted to the jinshi? The emperor has long thought of his son, but at this time he came down in person and paced to the Jia Lian picked up the palace test strategy he made. This palace test strategy was opened on the left and right, with red vertical bars on the left, and the three words "Duanxie" in red in the upper left corner. Juren Chen Jia, nineteen years old, a native of Jinling Prefecture, was given a Chinese style test in Jingzhao Township in the first year of Wu, and was given a Chinese style test by the Juren Yingji Annual Meeting, and respectfully accepted the palace test. The ancestor of the country; Dai Shan, the former Rong Guogong; father: pardon, first-class Shenwei general"

The paper on the right is printed with a galloping dragon pattern. The blank space is written with the title of the palace examination. I will take a look.

Then there is Jia Lian's answer, more than [*] words.

After reading it for a while, the emperor smiled and closed the hall to try out the plan, and knocked on Jia Lian's head.

Jia Lian hadn't woken up yet, but he changed his posture and lay on his stomach again.

"Jia Lian!" The emperor gave him a slight push.

Jia Lian woke up.

Looking up, he saw that the emperor was holding his palace test plan, and there were several colleges, ministers, and the grandson of Niuqing, the king of the country, who was also a first-class uncle, Jizong.

It's hard to get here, if you are confused and overturned, it will be a waste of time.

Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites scolded: "How is this place where you sleep?"

Niu Jizong next to him said with a smile, "Children are very playful, and last night, Mr. Zhang didn't need to go into detail."

Zhang Shangshu's beard is up and down, what's the matter? Didn't you see that Lord Ben was saving this kid? Shen Dashu smiled and said, "Although the palace exam is not dismissed in principle, it seems that such a disobedience in front of the monarch should be punished. , The emperor smiled and said: "What Jizong said is! Since you are awake, go to the side hall and talk to me. "

The monarch and his party went to the side hall.

The other two hundred and ninety-nine people watched Jia Lianyu's order in front of their eyes.

Full of envy and jealousy!

He is the last one, okay?

In the side hall, the emperor sits in the middle, and the ministers stand on both sides.

Jia Lian bowed and stood in the middle, only to listen to the emperor laughing: "Seeing that you are the first to write, if I hadn't been here, would you have to play chess again to relieve your boredom?"

Jia Lian replied: "Your Majesty, this is the venue for the imperial examination. How could a minister do such a thing on such an important occasion?"

"Bullshit!" The emperor pointed at him and smiled: "I still don't know what you are trying to do. Who doesn't know now? It is very reasonable to make you the last one."

Jia Lian asked with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, if I don't play chess, I might be ahead of me, and the Emperor sternly said, "It's possible that there is no last place. "

Jia Lian wanted to laugh, but when she saw that she was not smiling, she had to live.

"What did you do yesterday?" The emperor asked Jia Lian and smiled: "Your Majesty, my old lady made a wish in front of the Buddha, made the minister a tribute, and instructed the minister to restore it. So the minister spent a few days in the making A glass statue that is [*] feet high and translucent was made here. It was finally finished yesterday."

The emperor twisted his beard and said, "It just so happens that there is a Buddha statue missing in the palace of the empress dowager, it's your credit! Are you willing to 33 or not?"

Jia Lian's heart was thinking of stealing and robbing, and he said: "I think it is the most suitable place in the empress dowager's palace."

Seeing that their monarchs and ministers talked about the Buddha statue, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had to cough lightly, reminding him that the palace exam is now!

The emperor sat up straight, and said to Jia Lian seriously, "Jia Lian, you have read your strategy and thesis in person, your language is fluent, your arguments are sufficient, and you are deeply impressed. It should have been ranked No. [*], but when you were young, you fell asleep in the palace exam. Don't wake up, I was especially dismissed as the third top one in the Jinke Palace Exam, one hundred and forty-four, and the top three is the last one, but how many top three are there? Zhang Shangshu smiled and said; "One top three, two top one hundred and fifty-three. Name, three hundred and forty-four, exactly three hundred Jia Lian finally reacted, "Am I the last one again?"

Chapter [*] Ru Madam and the Emperor Zhengwupin are very happy to see Jia Lian's surprised appearance, "Since you are a double tribute scholar, I will make you a three-star jinshi, and it is good to leave a name in the history of Bi Lianzhong for three yuan. It's rare to get three tails in a row."

Even if Jia Lian is not willing, he has to accept this reality, "Samsung is only Samsung, but it's a pity that he was born as a jinshi"

"Why, are you still not happy?" The emperor smiled and Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I just suddenly thought of a joke."

The emperor was in high spirits today, "What joke, let's hear it?"

Jia Lian whispered: "It is said that in a certain county, one day, when two staff members were bored, they played couplets. If you wash your feet, the other will give Tong Jinshi background and add 'wash your feet for Mrs. Ru', and the other will give Tong Jinshi background."

The emperor laughed when he heard it.

After half laughing, he stopped laughing, and tried in the main hall next to him, so the emperor couldn't be too frivolous.

"Then the county magistrate hasn't kicked out these two aides?"

Jia Lian said: "Isn't it? The county magistrate listened to it from the back and immediately drove the two away with a livid face. The second-class uncle Jizong couldn't understand it, so he asked: "Why are you driving away? Jia Lian explained: "The county Lingji 21 is basically the top three, that is, he was born as a jinshi, and there are a small number of people who are qualified, and they are not even qualified to wash the feet of Mrs. Ru!"

Sheng Jizong, the minister of military affairs, came to be the examiner obviously, and he slapped Jia Lian on the shoulder, "Good boy, I thought you would become literate if you changed your career to take the imperial examinations, but I didn't expect that the root is still the kind of generals, this joke says It's refreshing!"

Fortunately, Jia Lian has always had a solid body, and he can still catch it in one or two strokes.It would be strange if it was replaced by one from the Emperor's Palace, and it wasn't immediately defeated.

"Okay?" Niu Jizong said in surprise, "Your father is ill, but you have the strength. How did you think at that time that you were admitted to the jinshi, and you didn't enter the army to fight?"

This uncle had the highest existing title at the beginning of the country, but he and Jia always looked down on each other, and the reason could be seen from the words just now.

As soon as he spoke, he couldn't stop.

Jia Lian had no choice but to interrupt: "Uncle, the palace exam is now! It's not your house."

Sheng Jizong slapped Jia Lian heavily again, "Let's not talk about the next person, when this is over, you come to me."

The emperor smiled and said, "Jizong, is he the first jinshi among you?"

You, the scope is the founding nobles represented by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.

Sheng Jizong shook his head and said, "The uncle Jia Jing was also a jinshi, but he became a monk later."

The emperor nodded and looked at Jia Lian with deep meaning. It would be great if all of you were jinshi. "It seems that Jia Jiarong and Ning's two houses are still very polite."

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered that a female historian in the palace wrote a poem the day before yesterday, and it seems that her surname is also Jia? At this time, Sheng Jizong spoke again.

This time, he didn't pat Jia on the shoulder, but asked Dai Yi, the minister of rituals, "Master Dai, why are you looking so bad? It's not good for you to be disrespectful in front of you!"

Dai Yi's face turned blue, and the emperor did not dare to talk nonsense like Niu Jizong.

Fortunately, Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites gave him the answer, "Sir Dai is the first among the top three in the imperial examination of the thousand sons of the emperor."

Sheng Jizong laughed and the top three is still the top one!

Dai Yi resentfully looked at Jia con and Jia spread out his hands, and said innocently, "Me too!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Jokes are always jokes. Although Dai Aiqing was born in the top three, now he is also a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and even the champion has to call you a teacher, what's the unpleasantness?"

Jia Lian clearly felt that Dai Someone's resentful eyes were just a joke, how could he be so stingy? In fact, he still didn't know the reason why he would try for the last place.

He strongly advocated that Jia Lian, who was dejected, was highly valued by the emperor in the palace examination. Didn't this beat him? Therefore, Dai Shilang, a hundred monarchs and ministers who did not like Jia Lian, were still chatting.

But Jia Lian was not so lucky and was driven back to continue the palace test.

In this way, Jia Lian decided on the honor of the last place before the palace exam was over.

Since he couldn't resist, he had to go home and wash Keqing's feet. Jia Lian was very willing.

After the ranking of the palace examination was announced, Jia became a legend once again.You may not know about the champion of the current division, but you can't help but know that Jia San will be followed by the biography of the Golden Palace, the En Rongyan, and then the appointment of officials.

In accordance with the imperial system of the imperial court, the first one (the champion) was appointed as the editor from the sixth grade of the Lilin Academy, the second and third (the second place and the third flower) were the editors of the seventh grade of the Hanlin Academy, and the top fifty in the second li were selected. The principal of the sixth grade department and institute, the last twenty are selected from the seventh grade or the middle book, the pedestrian commentary, the doctor, the top ten of the three top grades are selected for the Bo Zhongxing, the eleven to twenty are selected from the fifth grade Zhizhou, and the twenty-one Up to [*] people were selected as officials of the seventh grade, and all the rest were selected as genuine magistrates.

The last of him could only be a county magistrate, but Jia Lian is now the head of the sixth grade.

This kind of middle-ranking of him immediately became an official, and then he was admitted to the jinshi, which is very rare.

Just like the author of "Continued Funding and Governance" in another time and space, Bi Yuan of the Qing Dynasty was the one who became an official and went to the jinshi examination, and even won the champion. Of course, Jia Lian is still a little worse than him. The question is, should he Should Jia Lian be promoted? Of course it's impossible, and it's this Dai Yi who spit in front of the imperial court, "The top three titles are already a great favor, how can they be promoted again?"

Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry also agreed: "Jia Lian is young and needs to be polished more to remove the edges and corners before he can be entrusted with important tasks. Once he gets a high position, I'm afraid it will be bad for him in the end."

All in all, it was an outcry.

Just standing by and watching a group of civil officials quarreling for a long time, Niu Jizong shouted: "People are originally six-rank, anyway, they are admitted, why should they give something? Otherwise, who will be admitted to the jinshi?"

Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel smiled and said: "Uncle Niu, this is not a family property, and the national famous 637 can't be granted lightly!"

Sheng Jizong smiled and said: "I'm just holding injustice for my children and nephews. Of course, you can't do it if you say no, but I heard that Shuji is not of grade? Why don't you give Jia Lian one? Do you generally agree? "No! "

As a result, the two sides quarreled again over Jia Lian's official position.

What is Shujishi? Among the second and third tops, the young and talented Hanlin Academy is chosen to serve as Shujishi, which is called "Chosen Hall"

Shujishi generally lasts for three years. During the period, they are taught by experienced people in the Hanlin Academy. After three years of imparting various knowledge, they will be assessed before the next meeting.

Those with excellent grades stayed in the Hanlin, were awarded editing or reviewing, and officially became the Hanlin. It was said that "the others who stayed in the library were sent to the six departments to serve as directors and officials; some were also sent to various places.

Hanlin reserved high-talented land for the imperial court.In the past, a convention was formed: non-jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, and the Hanlin did not enter the cabinet.Therefore, Shuji Shi is known as the "Story Minister", and those who become Shuji have the opportunity to rise to the fore.

If Jia Lian has a chance to join the cabinet? Who will benefit? When everyone quarreled for a long time without any results, the emperor came down and issued an imperial decree to end the debate. , to be promoted to the construction clerk of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and still manage the affairs of the construction office"
