[Red House] Men's clothing

Time is like reincarnation. Situ Yue led a hundred officials to Zhili in early February and presided over the spring plowing. There were blisters on the soles of her feet. When she returned to the capital, she hadn't sat still. It was before Qingming. The emperor urged her Going to Yeling in Xiaoci County, Situ Yue had no choice but to pack the three Fuyuan brothers and Zhu Dan, and took the four boys to line up the ceremonial guard.

This side has just ended, and the day of the imperial examination has been drawn up in the capital, and Situ Yue hastily returned to the capital to sit in charge.

What made Situ more distressed was that the emperor still wanted to join in the fun this time. He happily invited two old friends, Zhou and Feng, carrying a basket and wearing single clothes, and crowding together in front of the gate of the Gongyuan with the scholars from all over the place.Situ Yue sighed and had no choice but to invite two uncles, the Thirteenth King and the Fourteenth King, to send the Emperor there in person.

Fortunately, the emperor's mentality is relatively good, he is not very obsessed with the ranking, he goes in cheerfully and comes out happily, compared with his relaxed body, Situ Yue can't wait to use the hidden guards as cattle and horses.

"If anyone dares to cheat under my nose, he will be abolished immediately."

So this time the imperial examination was wide on the outside and strict on the inside, and a dozen guys with notes were thrown out on the first day.

At the end of March, the paper was delivered to Situ Yue's desk. As an illiterate Situ Yue took a look at it. First of all, the paper in the position of Jie Yuan was written in a really good-looking and strong style. Of course, this evaluation is not true. What Situ Yue said was discussed by the Emperor and Cheng Yue.Situ Yue didn't finish one of the test papers, and felt that the words were boring. She read the latter and forgot the previous ones. Unlike Cheng Yue who listened to the paper and applauded, she remained expressionless throughout the process.

Honestly, I didn't understand it.

Cheng Yue not only started to worry, "Brother, you said that you are going to give the exam questions for the palace exam,... have you got the questions yet?"

"It's out. In previous years, the imperial examinations and imperial examinations were just for flattery. The better you praise the emperor, the higher the ranking..."

The emperor coughed a few times beside him, Situ Yue "..."

After a pause, he continued, "If it continues like this, the palace examination is meaningless. What is the purpose of the palace examination? Naturally, it is for the emperor to select talents himself. At this time, let me choose, and I naturally want to choose future capable ministers. So, I'm going to do it."

It is a fact that the emperor was ignorant, but few scholars in the world dare to say that.The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy, on the day of the imperial examination, seemed to hold a rabbit in their arms, anxiously waiting for the emperor to come up with the questions. So far, no one has received the questions, not even the bachelor on duty. They don't know what the test questions are.

The Jinshi who won the Zhongju entered the hall according to their ranks. At this time, everyone was undoubtedly excited.Some people even see the emperor only once in their life. After today, the rankings have been determined. Those who did well in the exam, those who did not, those with weak family influence, and those who were born with connections, parted ways. Meeting each other is the relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

The two friends of the emperor also entered the hall, but the rankings of the three were different. Master Zhou stood at the front, and master Feng was at the end. He did not want the courtiers to see him.

Situ Yue arrived at the main hall, and sat down after three shouts of long live, and the guards of His Majesty Dan unfolded Bai Ling. "...The topic of today's palace examination: Go to the west mountain, find a woman, ask for a plum hairpin, you can form a gang, you can't rely on outsiders. Set the deadline at sunset, and gather in front of the Meridian Gate at sunset.. …”

After reading, regardless of the reaction of the disciples in the hall, he took out a piece of paper from a box, the content of the paper was a form of petition, and there was a plum blossom mark on it.The guard took a look at the students, closed the box, and a drum sounded outside the hall, and the timer started.

At the same time, the messengers were dispatched to announce the palace examination questions in various places in central Beijing, encouraging everyone to bring plum hairpins and go to Xishan to watch.Those who have good things, those who have money and leisure, and even some ordinary people, went back to take out their plum hairpins and went to Xishan together.

The palace is still far away from Xishan, and the students have to register in front of the palace gate, who formed a gang with whom, the guards took notes, and arranged people to follow according to the number of gangs.The crowd walked out of the inner city, attracting countless people on both sides of the street to watch and follow, each with a plum blossom hairpin on their head... Some students cried out on the spot.

Today's capital city makes people happier than New Year's Eve. This is a rare event that is rarely seen in a hundred years. The kiln sisters even pretend to be women and play with the plum blossom hairpins on their heads. There are gold and silver ones, jade colored treasures, and others It was temporarily tied out with floral cloth, and someone even cut a plum blossom out of red paper and stuck it on a thin wooden stick, pretending to be a plum blossom hairpin...

When the sun rises to the middle of the day, there are peddlers pushing wheelbarrows to sell goods everywhere. Those who go out with their families are looking for a place to have lunch. The rich and noble families have cooks to accompany them. Even beggars can beg for food on the road, and the students are tired. Thirsty and hungry, even the soldiers in the back are still riding on horses with dry food and staring at them while eating, they don’t have the freedom to do whatever they want...

Unsurprisingly, the emperor went to watch the excitement. He was old, so Situ Yue was so energetic, of course he didn't stop him.The emperor did not go alone, he also brought his sons and grandchildren with him, a group of people from Wuyang Wuyang, the front and back were like water and dragons, occupying a good place to look down on the students who were like headless flies.At this time, the spring is bright and beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Inside the gazebo, the father and son are toasting, and the sound of musical instruments played by the maids in the distance can be heard from afar, enjoying the rare happiness of the family.

"This...Father, why did the emperor ask such a nonsensical question? What kind of woman are you looking for? Why do you ask for a plum hairpin? What should these scholars do...I don't understand it. .”

"A few days ago, there was an imperial grandson who had a fight with someone. Something happened and she was sent to prison. Her husband and son died early, but the imperial order was still there, so she wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking for mercy. It's not a big deal. Jun Ming immediately asked the old woman to cooperate to see who could smooth the matter out. He found the old woman and gained trust. He accepted the certificate and went to the Golden Palace to make a petition for her. The guards sent the petition Give them a look at the table, can you take a look at the statement and analyze it? That is the first question for them. When you arrive in Xishan, observe the clues and find the person is the second question. How to get the old woman with a good tongue? People's trust is the third question. How to quickly return to Beijing and return to life after getting the certificate is the fourth question. Junming is to judge a person's character and ability to do things by looking at a person's words and deeds, which is just for the people in Beijing to see A big show."

All the kings nodded one after another, and all of them showed admiration in front of the emperor, and they all commented on Situ Yue in their hearts, "This kid is so extravagant."

Situ Yue didn't follow along to join in the fun, she ate lunch as usual, ate very happily to the cabbage tofu brought by Queen Zhao, and praised her at the end.After lunch, I took a walk around the Chongzheng Palace, read the homework of the little guys living in the palace, then called the people from the Ministry of War to talk for a long time about the navy's warships, and finally let the craftsman The supervisor took out the model of the warship and put it in the pool for a try.

The afternoon passed quickly, Situ Yue looked at the sky, climbed up the palace wall, and looked at the countless people surrounded by the Meridian Gate, Situ Yue came to the palace wall, and the people below greeted happily, The atmosphere of the whole scene was very high.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ancient palace walls. There were more and more people in front of the Meridian Gate. The guards lit torches, and the eunuchs around Situ Yue held palace lanterns. The red gauze glistened with red light.The chefs in the imperial dining room brought out several large pots of broth, and the students who had traveled for a long time came back, and each of the chefs gave them a bowl of broth.The people who followed them immediately read out their personal performance in front of the audience and the officials on duty.Their performance is measured by the Emperor and given a score.

In the end, no one found the woman they were looking for, that is, no one could ask for the plum blossom hairpin.

Because everyone's words and deeds are recorded, Situ Yue can analyze who is more extroverted, who is brighter, and who is more thoughtful.

It was too late, and none of the people around left. Situ Yue knew that it was time to test himself, and they all said that the eyes of the people are discerning, and if they acted unfairly, they would naturally attract criticism.

"Although the palace examination is not in the main hall, the ranking of the top three is based on the palace examination. Looking at everyone's performance today, I think that no one can do the No. [-] ranking. Therefore, today, we can only start ranking from the second."

There was a lot of discussion below, and according to the performance reported by the guards just now, Situ Yue named ten people as the top ten of the top ten.The reason was stated on the spot, no matter how the students reacted, most of the common people were convinced.

In the evening, the guards send the students to their respective residences, and the common people can also take a torch from the guards in front of the palace gate to go home.The palace wall is several feet high, and you can see dots of light wandering from the Meridian Gate to various places in the capital.Situ Yue stood on the palace wall for a long time. She had a dream of reform. She felt that everything handed down had flaws. She wanted to change this huge imperial machine and make it run faster and more efficiently.

This matter can't be rushed, Situ Yue said to himself in the night wind, and also said to this ancient land.

The author has something to say: I got up at [-]:[-] this morning, walked for an hour and bought movie tickets online for the evening, made appointments for lunch and dinner, chatted with the dentist on WeChat at [-]:[-] p.m., and made an appointment with a hairdresser at [-]:[-] p.m. Go left and right for air bangs.At eleven o'clock in the morning, I received a call from our store manager on the treadmill in the gym.
