Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 342 Palace Examination Started from the Day Before (Part 2)

  Under the warm greeting of Yan Shifan and others, Zhu Pingan bowed to everyone present, and then sat down "flattered".

After taking a seat, Zhu Pingan found a problem, that is, Ouyang Zishi was not at the banquet. Didn’t it mean that this was a banquet for the palace examination? Ouyang Zishi will also participate in the palace examination tomorrow, so why didn’t he come to this so-called palace examination banquet? Woolen cloth?

  So many things are connected together, all confirming that today's banquet is undoubtedly a Hongmen banquet!

The left servant of Yan Shifan's Ministry of Industry, a senior official of the third rank, his father Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, a scholar of the Yingwu Palace, a young master and a grand teacher of the prince, a young teacher, a scholar of the Huagai Palace, and more than 10,000 people under one person; These strict party members are also figures that should not be underestimated in the court.

  Although Zhu Pingan guessed it from the beginning, and now he is convinced that this is a Hongmen banquet, but he still has to come to the meeting.

  I understand the truth, but people still have to come. reject?

  You refuse a try, anyone here has a pinky thicker than your thigh, you can refuse a wool. Put yourself in your shoes and think about it, if you suddenly received a banquet invitation letter from a high-ranking official or the mayor, or an invitation letter from your principal, unit boss, etc., and they sincerely sent you four times and three times People come to invite you, and say that if you don’t come to the banquet, I will invite you in person. Try it, can you refuse?

"Ouyang is feeling cold today. He is recuperating at home. He is unwell and cannot attend this banquet. Otherwise, Ouyang should ask Zihou for advice." Yan Shifan is a very smart person. He just took a look at Zhu Ping'an's eyes and guessed Out of Zhu Pingan's thoughts, he explained with a hearty smile.

"That's really a coincidence, but brother Ouyang is a lucky man, and his body will recover tomorrow." Zhu Pingan took Yan Shifan's words and comforted him with a concerned expression on his face, but his heart was full of sarcasm No end, it's just that people don't tear it apart, don't expose it.

   "Borrowing Zihou's auspicious words, as a cousin, I will drink a glass with Zihou for Ouyang to express my gratitude." Yan Shifan stood up holding the wine glass as he spoke.

  Nima, this is not trying to get me drunk! Tomorrow's palace test, today's drunk, test your sister's palace test! Zhu Pingan looked at Yan Shifan who was holding a wine glass, and other people around who were ready to go, and there were ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart.

   Bully!

  At this moment, Zhu Ping'an's desire for power suddenly intensified several times. Today's fields are just inferior to others. However, Zhu Pingan, who has read countless history books, is well aware of the future situation of the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Song can still be the chief assistant for nearly ten years. Although the situation is compelling at this time, for the sake of ideals and ambitions, he still has to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity. What I want to do is not cannon fodder! Xu Jie can bear it, why can't I bear it!

  A gentleman hides his weapon in his body, and waits for the time to move it!

   "How dare you ask Mr. Yan to toast me, I should be the one who respects Mr. Yan."

So speaking, Zhu Pingan got up with the wine glass and respected Yan Shifan. The lower edge of the wine glass was lower than Yan Shifan's wine glass. The qualitative plug has not turned black, nor has it changed to other colors. There should be no problem with the wine, so I feel a little bit more settled.

   "However, Zihou will have a palace exam tomorrow, so he can't be greedy. How about it, Zihou can just taste it."

  Yan Shifan was quite satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's knowledge, but he didn't see Zhu Ping'an's small actions, but he didn't drink Zhu Ping'an as Zhu Ping'an thought. Instead, he said to everyone present:

   "You too, don't let Zihou be greedy for drinking. We are trying to do it for Zihou's palace, not to hinder Zihou. Zihou's wine today is only one cup."

  As soon as Yan Shifan finished speaking, other people in the room expressed their opinions one after another, "Master Yan, please rest assured, although Zihou is young, his talents and learning are not trivial, and he is also the top candidate in the imperial examination. How could we be confused at this juncture."

   This was a bit beyond Zhu Pingan's expectation. After toasting Yan Shifan, Zhu Pingan was a little surprised when he sat on the table.

"Today, I'm doing a test for Zihou's palace. You all have passed the palace test, so don't hide it. If you have any precautions and experiences, you can also tell Zihou to help him." Yan Shifan said to the table. said the crowd.

   After that, Zhu Ping'an will understand!

  This is not a Hongmen banquet, Zhu Pingan looked out of the window silently, heartbroken, Nima, although this is not a Hongmen banquet, it is not a good banquet either!

"I'm Shang Dazhi, a doctor in Qing Dynasty in Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials. I was born as a second-class Jinshi in Jiachen Division in the 23rd year of Jiajing. I'm not familiar with the palace examination, but I have some experience in freedom." Sitting not far from Zhu Ping'an, a four-year-old The middle-aged man in his teens looked at Zhu Ping'an and said, "This man is Shang Dazhi, the doctor of Qing Dynasty officials selected from the Ministry of Officials.

   "I have met Mr. Shang, dare to ask for your advice." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands.

"It's not about giving advice, it's just exchanging ideas." Shang Dazhi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then began to say, "The prelude to the court is right, and the candidates for the palace examination have a current policy. If you want to pass the palace examination, you need to know the emperor Mind."

  Speaking of this, Shang Dazhi put down his teacup, looked at Zhu Pingan meaningfully, and kept his mouth shut for the time being.

  It wasn't until Zhu Ping'an greeted him with "enthusiastic" "cooperation" that he continued to speak:

"In the sixth year of Jiajing, the Holy Majesty once said, 'The writing in the examination room must be plain and elegant, and flashy and dangerous styles are not allowed to spoil the style. The trial recording is only a little embellishment according to the scholar's text'. Zihou must know this well, the Holy Majesty said Happy, pure and elegant, sincere and honest writing. Flowery, flashy and beautiful writing is only a coincidence, a flash in the pan, not a long-term solution."

   Regarding Shang Dazhi's words, Zhu Ping'an just listened to him. Regarding Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Ping'an had a historical advantage. It can be said that he knew Emperor Jiajing better than 99% of the people in the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing was a fickle person. For example, he personally carved on a pillar in the main hall, "Xu Jie, a villain, will never be hired"; According to the historical trend, Xu Jie will join the cabinet in about a year and a half!

   It has been more than 20 years since Jiajing was six years old, and Emperor Jiajing's preferences have changed a lot in the practice of alchemy.

  Pure and elegant, sincere and honest? Then come and tell me what Qingci is all about.

  Of course it doesn’t mean that Emperor Jiajing didn’t like pure elegance, sincerity and sincerity. I liked meat yesterday, but I can’t be vegetarian today! It depends on the psychology of Emperor Jiajing when he set the question. The so-called accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, especially a wise and nagging emperor like Emperor Jiajing, he must always pay attention and pay attention to everything.

  After Shang Dazhi finished speaking, another person soon pulled Zhu Pingan to talk about his experience.

  He talked for a long time, and when he finally finished speaking, another person came to add a few sentences. Repeatedly, non-stop, it can be said that if you sing, I will go on stage!

   But when they were talking, they also liked to have a question and answer with Zhu Pingan, and forced Zhu Pingan to participate.

  Zhu Ping'an's face is full of gratitude for asking for advice. He listens to their eloquence, and responds to their questions and answers, but his eyes are paying attention to the changes outside the window:

  Outside the window, the sun shone brightly from the very beginning, then gradually turned red and the sun was slanting westward, and then became dim and yellow, and then outside the window, it was dark and the moon was on top of the willows. Now the night is getting dark...

   The watchman outside has already knocked on the second watch! It's already late at night!

"Okay, okay, look at the endless exchange of ideas between you guys, Zihou will have a palace exam early in the morning. Okay Zihou, you have to get up early to take the palace exam tomorrow, hurry back, oh, By the way, sit in my sedan chair, and no one dares to stop me during the night ban."

  Finally, Yan Shifan interrupted the poor Shang Dazhi and others who were exchanging experiences and experiences, and said to Zhu Pingan with great concern.

  Nima, eat a strong feast from noon to eleven o'clock in the evening, and endure this group of ducks croaking, what exchange of experience, pitfalls in words one after another!

  Tired of sitting, tired of listening, tired of chatting, Nima, I have to go home in the middle of the night, and I am also drunk!
