The bustling imperial examination fraud case soon came to an end under the intervention of Su Changfeng and Lin Mo.

Moreover, compared to the fraud cases, those candidates are more keen on whether they are on the list.

The list was released on the second day of March, so the three candidates involved in this case were naturally not on the list.The person on the list is naturally, the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and he can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

It is a tradition of the Great Xia Dynasty that the number one scholar paraded through the streets. The emperor passed the roll call in the Jinluan Hall. After the list is over, they go home.

The number one scholar will lead the new Jinshi to read the list, and then Shuntian Fu Yin will arrange flowers for the number one scholar and wear red silk. The new number one scholar rides on the tall horse bestowed by the emperor and walks through Tianjie to show "the emperor's great grace".This is the ceremony known as "Golden Temple Chuanhe".Because once the scholars who participated in the imperial examination were named on the gold list, they would be like "a carp jumping a dragon", and immediately become a new powerful person who became famous all over the world.Therefore, the left gate of Chang'an is called "Dragon Gate".

Therefore, at this time, the people in the capital would come out to watch the excitement. When the number one scholar paraded through the streets, there were often thousands of people emptying the alleys, wanting to witness the demeanor of the number one scholar and those Jinshi.

Looking downstairs, Xinke Jinshi paraded through the street on horseback, looking proud, Zhang Zong looked closely at his senior brother, for fear that he would be irritated.This person was chosen after deliberation, and he was facing the parade procession, and the appearance of the Xinke Scholars in red and ribbons could be clearly seen.

The team gradually drifted away and disappeared, and the people who joined the fun in the street either dispersed, or followed the honor guard team and walked away.The teahouse is very clean.

Shen Siqi saw that the team had gone far away, turned around and saw Zhang Zong staring at him firmly, his heart was moved and amused.Stretching out his hand, Zhang Zong shook his eyes, and seeing Zhang Zong smiled at him embarrassedly, a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This seat was appointed by me, if I really can't stand this, will I book this seat? The younger brother is well educated, but he just likes to worry a little bit."

Zhang Zong looked at the smile on his senior brother's face, and felt that he was really worrying about it for nothing. He was speechless to his senior brother. He rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't I afraid that senior brother will hurt you? I don't know good people." ah!"

Shen Siqi grabbed the jug, and the wine liquid turned into a silver thread and fell into the wine glass, saying: "This time, it is a great fortune for me to escape, how can I ask for anything else?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the poured wine to Zhang Zong, and seeing Zhang Zong took it, he said: "Compared to Cheng Gong being dismissed because of this matter, I was just exempted from this scientific examination result, which is already considered good, at least three years It’s just a test later, anyway, I was not expelled from the civil service, but Cheng Gong, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference in the officialdom in the future.”

Zhang Zong took the wine, and then said: "Although Cheng Gong was dismissed from the Ministry of Rites this time, the emperor also values ​​him a lot. No matter what, there is always a place to live. Cheng Gong has always been interested in writing books. Presumably His Majesty should have planned a retreat for him."

Shen Siqi looked at Zhang Zong, drank the wine glass in his hand, and asked: "Speaking of which, brother, I still have a doubt, and I hope my junior brother can clear it up for me." After finishing speaking, he put the wine glass to his lips , but not as bold as Zhang Zong, just took a few sips.

Zhang Zong didn't pay much attention to it, he just took the flagon over, poured himself a glass and said, "The apricot blossom wine in Zuixianlou really lives up to its reputation, uh, brother, do you have any questions?"

Shen Siqi put the wine glass on the table, and stared at Zhang Zongdao: "This fraud case is very serious, why did you let it go so lightly? Besides, I'm just a small person, and even Mr. Cheng was dismissed." But I didn’t lose anything, and I didn’t even move my fame? Junior brother, tell me the truth? How much effort did you put in to pull me out of that quagmire??”

"Pfft!" The mouthful of wine that Zhang Zonggang swallowed was all sprayed out.This restaurant is very deserted because most of the people went to watch the excitement, and the second floor of this restaurant is basically full of people who are either rich or expensive. Man overhears conversation.

Zhang Zong directly wiped the wine from his lips with his sleeve, and said with some hesitation in his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that the person who helped you didn't want to disclose it."

The emperor is helping behind the scenes, and besides, those people are dealing with Chenggong, so these actions are naturally not in their eyes.

Although Zhang Zong really wanted to reveal to Shen Siqi the person who helped him behind the scenes, but thinking about the entrustment that Eunuch Wei had given him, he still stopped thinking about it.

Seeing Shen Siqi frowning, Zhang Zongdao: "Brother, as long as he wins the first place next time, it will be the best repayment for him. Although this person does not want to reveal his name, I will guarantee it with my life. He has no malice towards senior brother. My Zhang family has no intention of using it."

Zhang Zong knew that his senior brother asked this, but he was worried that he had paid a high price to save him, and even implicated his family. Zhang Zong said this to reassure Shen Siqi.

What's more, what he said himself is not bad, as the co-lord of the world, is there any king in the world, and Zhang Zong, as a subject, is his blessing to be looked at by the emperor more.

Seeing Zhang Zong say such words, Shen Siqi didn't want to ask any more questions, but secretly remembered Zhang Zong's words, thinking in his heart what kind of person could make Zhang Zong say such words?

It's just that when he was distressed, there were others who were also troubled.

Three provinces and six ministries, although these three provinces were annihilated in history early, but the six ministries remained, namely officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers.

This Ministry of Industry has always been ranked the weakest, and it has never been as important as the previous ones. Compared with the Ministry of Officials, which controls the performance assessment of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, the Ministry of Households, which is in charge of money and food in the world, and the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of imperial examinations, the Ministry of War is even more unnecessary. Having said that, even the Ministry of Punishment with the decentralization of Dali Temple is much stronger than the Ministry of Industry with a low sense of presence.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are last, craftsmen are second, this is one of the reasons why the Ministry of Industry is weak, and the other is that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is not a strong person, and the Ministry of Industry has not done any major things in recent years. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has less and less right to speak.

Of course, Guo Youzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, would not care about these things. You must know that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also a minister, a second-rank official, and the Great Xia Dynasty did not have a first-rank official position.The second rank is the pinnacle of what a civil servant can achieve.

Of course, there was still the position of prime minister in the past. Although the current Cabinet Grand Scholars deal with the affairs of the world, they are still of the fifth rank. Although they are important, they are not considered high.

The original minister of the Ministry of Industry returned to his hometown, and Guo Youzhi originally thought that this person was settled by himself, so who else could be promoted besides him?It's just that Su Changfeng didn't expect that Su Changfeng would directly transfer Yang Qing, the censor of the right capital who was in charge of Ma Zheng in Shaanxi, back, and directly let him take the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

When Guo Youzhi heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. Without Cheng Minzhen, Yang Qing was added, and he happened to be a competent minister in charge of one side.No matter how conceited Guo Youzhi is, he knows that he is definitely not as good as Yang Qing.Not to mention that all of my own plans were in vain, and my previous behavior might have alarmed Su Changfeng and Cui Wanzhi. It was like losing my wife and losing my army!

The author has something to say: Well, up to now, I really want to thank everyone who has read this book, everyone who has read and commented, everyone who comforted me, every click, every comment , every collection, every mine is worthy of my gratitude, thank you everyone who accompanied me.

The prototype of this article is basically guessed by everyone. The Ming Dynasty is used as the prototype. In fact, the author wants to write about the Ming Dynasty, but he is worried that he is not strong enough to write it.

It turned out later that my ideas were right. I really couldn’t write those things, and I couldn’t describe the Ming Dynasty in my mind. When I have practiced to a certain extent, I will write a historical essay on the Ming Dynasty. I hope that by then Everyone is still here = ̄3 ̄=.
