dream through ancient and modern

In mid-December, it was the depths of winter, and the wind was bitingly cold.Outside the Nanhua Gate, the Gongsheng students who were waiting to enter the palace entered through the small gates on both sides, stepping on the snow that fell last night.The officials of the Ministry of Rites led Gongsheng to the Huashi Hall, waiting for the emperor and courtiers to finish their early court discussions.There is a palace wall in front of Huashi Hall. On the wall are engraved with the names and taboos of Jinshi and ranks of the past dynasties. Gongsheng students will touch the palace wall with their hands when they pass by, so as to ask for a good ranking.There is floor heating in Huashi Hall, where Gongsheng students can drink tea and chat.At that time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted at the door, "Xuan, next year Enke Gongsheng will enter the hall and entest~." On the paper, the courtiers stood on both sides, and the Ming emperor Li Zheng sat on the dragon chair, with a bead curtain placed in front of him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The Gongsheng students entered the hall and knelt down to salute.

"Stay flat, take a seat"

"Long live thanks." The examinee's name was engraved on the examination table, and he was seated according to his name.There were no stools at the examination table, so Gongsheng could only sit on his knees.

An article on the policy of the palace examination, the question is written by the emperor himself, the number of words is not limited, and the time limit is two quarters of an hour.After the Gong students are seated, the chief examiner will hand over a blank sheet of paper to Emperor Ming, who will write the test questions with a red pen, and then the chief examiner will drink it out at the examination table of all the Gong students.

"The way of a university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the ultimate good. Knowing and stopping is followed by steadiness, and then you can be calm, and then you can be at peace. After you are at ease, you can think about it. After thinking about it, you can gain." This sentence comes from " University", but there is no such book in the time and space of Li Zheng, but there are still articles and books with similar expressions.

The chief examiner, Li Mobai, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, finished the questions, and Li Zheng sat on the dragon chair in a daze.Now that the court is in good shape, the elites of the gentry have suffered heavy losses due to two consecutive incidents, but after all, they are deeply entrenched, and they will not be suppressed to the bottom for a while.However, with the good backing of Emperor Ming, scholars from poor families can flex their muscles with their own strength, so they should not be underestimated in the future.The mutual checks and balances between the elites of the gentry and the scholars of the humble family, Li Zheng's occasional shocks are enough to make them obedient and refrain from doing anything wrong.Emperor Ming, the young emperor, finally had the appearance of the emperor of the later Chu Kingdom, and it was no longer a loophole.

After the forced palace incident happened, the palace suddenly became quiet.Needless to say, Concubine Hui and Concubine Zhao are so tired of being together every day that even Emperor Ming dares to refuse to see them.After Xu Cairen came out of the small black room, he stayed in Ziying Palace every day and did not go out.The empress is naturally quiet, so besides walking more diligently in the empress dowager's palace, she also reads in her own palace every day.The masters in other palaces were not favored by Emperor Ming, so there was no fighting or anything.The strangest thing during this period should be the Empress Dowager. Before entering the palace, the Empress Dowager loved her eldest son, Prince Rui. On that day, Prince Rui led the city army to surround the Forbidden Palace. Emperor Ming immediately sent people to the Empress Dowager's Palace. Li, told the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother ignored it at all, just worshiped the Buddha.Prince Rui died in the Palace of Choosing Heaven. The body was removed from the armor and sent to the Empress Dowager's Palace. The Empress Dowager never even looked at it. Emperor Ming had no choice but to have someone hastily bury it beside the imperial tomb. A traitor from the army is not qualified to enter the imperial tomb. .But these are good things for the Ming Emperor Li Zheng. He soaked in the cloud pool every day, discussed the state affairs at the court, and approved the memorials at the next court. The first 16 years were comfortable, except for the fact that the stars kept disappearing.

Princess Ning Ya personally led the cavalry under her command to help Emperor Ming get rid of Prince Rui. The Emperor Shengding knew about it and went back to receive the punishment.When he left Chu State, he took a woman with him, Princess Rui.Emperor Ming was very gossip and wanted to see what charm this woman had, so that someone as cold and arrogant as Princess Ning Ya would fall in love with her.But he didn't see it, and was shot by Princess Ning Ya, cutting off a strand of hair.Ming Huang Li Zheng was so angry that he slammed the birth jade jade on her face, turned around and ran away without even catching up with him.

The most precious birthstone jade in the world is actually a piece of ointment, which is called jade because it is transparent and hard.The childbirth jade will turn into a soft paste when exposed to body heat. Two women can use this object to have children, but only girls will be born. The man will not use the childbirth jade because he has no uterus.The source of the childbirth jade and the principle of conception are not known to the world, but only six pieces are in the Treasure Pavilion of the Houchu Palace, which is known to the world.It would be very useful for Yi Ran to take the birth jade, but it is useless for Li Zheng, so he gave one to Princess Ning Ya, another to his senior brother, and another to Concubine Hui Zhao. The two concubines prepared one.Emperor Ming Li Zheng gave Princess Ning Ya this treasure, firstly to repay the favor of borrowing soldiers, and secondly to ensure that Wu Chengguo and Hou Chu would have no war.The people of the later Chu state were not good at martial arts and were not good at fighting, but the people of Wu Chengguo could fight with horses and plow the fields with horses.

"Stop writing." The examiner looked at the time and yelled, and the Gong students immediately put down their pens, because if they continued to write when the time came, they would be kicked out of the Temple of Choice.

After the answer sheets of the tribute students are collected, the examiners will rank first, and the top ten will be selected by the chief examiner to select the three tripods. The articles of the three tripods will be sent to the Ming emperor before the case, and the Ming emperor will determine the champion and the second place , the candidate for the flower test.In the post-Chu state, Tanhua is not because the articles can be ranked in the top three, but because of the excellent appearance, but the literary talent should not be too bad, usually in the top ten of the first class.

"Your Majesty, Wei Hanmo of Liaocheng, Su Qi of Chizhou, and Liu Hao of Jingdu. Please make your Majesty's official appointment for the three tripods." Li Mobai, the chief examiner, presented three examination papers.

"Lord Li, which one is the son-in-law Tanhualang?" Because of her excellent looks and literary talents, Tanhua would often be married to a royal princess, and gradually the people of Chu State used to call her son-in-law Tanhualang.

"Your Majesty, Chizhou Su Qi, twenty years old, unmarried." Sanding Jiaji stood at the front of the Gongsheng, Li Mobai pointed to the one in the middle, with his head down, he couldn't see his face clearly, but his figure was quite good. Slender and straight, full of scholarly appearance.

"Understood." After speaking, Li Zheng turned over the answer sheets of the other two. The core points of the two policy theories were similar, and they were very consistent with the original intention of the exam questions. Li Zheng compared them for a while, but couldn't tell the difference.

"Your Majesty, Liaocheng Wei Hanmo's room teacher is Li Taifu." Li Mobai, the chief examiner, lowered his head and whispered to Emperor Ming.

"Oh~ Then order this Wei Hanmo champion." Li Taifu Li Zhi is the prime minister's second son, and Li Mobai told Minghuang that he was obviously telling Minghuang that he should show favor after suppressing him for so long.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Mobai, the chief examiner, walked out of the imperial curtain, and shouted, "Wei Hanmo in Liaocheng, the number one scholar, Liu Hao in the second place in Beijing, and Su Qi in Huachizhou. Thank you!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Sanding Jia knelt down and kowtowed.

"My son-in-law Tanhualang, raise your head and let me see."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Qi raised his head and looked down.

Su Qi raised his head, Li Zheng took a careful look at him, and his mind suddenly exploded.To say that this Su Qi's appearance is really excellent, not a single bit of fake.Cleansing the face without powder, thin lips with light powder like fat, and willow-leaf eyebrows with affection.If this face was born on a woman, it would be a stunning beauty, but it was too feminine if it was born on this man.But what Li Zheng saw was not like this, but that Su Qi's eyebrows and eyes were seventy percent similar to Xu Xue's. He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat, and the black stones he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.Minghuang has always loved the meteorite from the sky, and the courtiers in the court saw the treasure dropped to the ground, and even looked up at Minghuang, only to see Minghuang looking at Tanhualang obsessively.Except for the prime minister, the other courtiers exchanged glances. Everyone knew that Emperor Ming did not favor the harem, but seeing this beautiful Tanhualang lose his composure, he couldn't be a good man.

"Your Majesty, the three lords of Dingjia are parading through the streets at that time, and it is inauspicious to delay the time." Wang Fujian Ming Huang looked at Tan Hualang in a daze, and repeatedly reminded him.

"Oh, yes." Li Zheng withdrew his mind and stood up. "Sanding Jiawen is brilliant, and its name is inscribed in Huashi Hall, and the blessing cake is paraded in the street to receive the congratulations of all people."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Sanding Jia led all the tribute students to kneel and thank, and Wang Fu led them out of the Selecting Heaven Hall.
