starling is not a bird

The swaying scholars on Chang'an Street have always been eye-catching, and most of the students who can enter the capital to take the exam are outstanding students from the countryside and counties.Who wouldn't look forward to winning the championship in one fell swoop, getting the title inscribed in the Golden Palace, and shining on the lintel from then on, letting out the turbidity in his chest?

When the sky was dark, the place where the list was published was crowded with shivering scholars, stamping their feet and sleeves, staring at the gate, lest they were not the first to see the list.

It was so easy to wait until the gate opened, and a yamen servant who opened the way separated the crowd, and a small official came out holding a roll of list, the crowd suddenly boiled, and the heads of the people gathered were like a thick black tide.

There are also family members who reported the news with their heads held high triumphantly, and some who failed to do so were dejected and unhappy. The moon is always shining on Kyushu, some families are happy and others are sad, even the street vendors are very calm, the emperor Who was chosen and what did they have to do with them?

In the hostel, the influential shopkeepers laughed and flattered the husband who had won the list, and urged the loser to pack up with a livid face, everything was no different from usual.

But whether it is a master or a villain, they all have to eat. Those who celebrate want to have a big meal, and those who are frustrated want to drink away their sorrows. There are many restaurants in the capital, but the famous ones come and go. Those few.

: "The young master of your family has a first grade in high school, what reward does your master have?"

: "Haha, the rewards are naturally quite a lot, it's rare for our master to be happy! Didn't the young master of your family also win?"

: "How could it miss? Come here and let me tell you."

biting ears

: "Oh, that's what our family does too!"

: "Haha, drink and drink, no matter how much money they stuffed, it's a happy event anyway!"

: "Isn't it? Both the scholar's mansion and the minister's mansion will have a big banquet for guests. See you later!"

Frustrated people will inevitably complain in their hearts when they hear good things, and it is even more embarrassing if others are proud of their own disappointment. The big event that splashed the sky came out.

The oil salesman from the Zhu family met his cousin who sold breakfast from the Li family with his burden, and the two went to Chang'an Street together. The wonton stew is full of it.

: "Those insane candidates, who lost their names in Sun Shan, just wanted to blame the examiners for being unfair. I don't know where the strength came from. They wrote so many articles and posted them all over the street. If they don't tear them down, they might offend them." The governor is not a joke. It is really harmful! With this skill, why don't you use more skills in the examination room?"

The yamen servant couldn't stop tearing, but he couldn't stop him from tearing the front and sticking it on the back. When the governor came out, he looked straight at it, and just after finishing it, three or five people rushed over, shouting for injustice, and making a fuss for the governor. pain.

People all over the street were crowded on both sides, and the governor was thinking about how to get out. The governor saw that this was a serious matter, so he didn't deal with it. He tied up his son and took him away. He got on his horse and went directly to Shuntian Fuyin.

The governor is Tanhualang hand-picked by the current Shangshu Xiong Yixiao, so naturally he won't make things difficult for his master's young master, let people tear up all the articles on the street, and bring a few of them to Shuntian Fu Yin , reprimanded, slandering the imperial court officials, is to take away the fame!They were so frightened that they turned pale and were willing to let them go.

In the evening, the governor attended the banquet held by Xiong Shangshu, toasted a few glasses of wine to the teacher, and waited until everyone had dispersed before gently talking about today's small disturbance, and got a few words of praise.

This time the chief and deputy examiners are editor Li Pan and editor Jiang Chenying. Although Li Pan was born in the Imperial Academy, he has good friends with rich and wealthy families in the Manchu and Han Dynasties. Happy to do it?

The deputy examiner I met was an old man with tinnitus and dizziness. He naturally stretched out his hands and his wallet was full!Whether it's the son of a bachelor or the young master of a minister, all of them are included, and the grandson of the censor and the nephew of the governor must be taken care of!Li Pan, who has earned a lot of money, naturally remembers to honor the master behind him - the crown prince.

The crown prince is not someone who is short of money, he just needs to use the money to directly open the House of Internal Affairs, why is there no need to blackmail his courtiers?These things are what the elder brother and the ninth elder brother love to do, but the crown prince will not do this.

What the wise crown prince just thought was that there are too few people who are facing him in the court, and he needs to win over more confidants. Next time Huang Ama goes to Beijing to fight, no matter which brother he keeps, he can't let him fight against him!The fourth elder brother is really a troublesome existence!It's so easy that the big brother is not in the capital, and there is someone who confronts me with a straight face and an air. The point is that he is more reasonable than himself and has more people who support him. The crown prince is really unhappy!

Neither Kangxi nor the crown prince in the deep palace knew that there were also a group of candidates who had been rejected, running around shouting on the street, and then?Naturally there is a later.

Those who fled in a hurry were stopped in the suburbs, and a masked expert showed them a clear way, finished eating the food brought by the expert, and packed the silver from the expert, remember The warm words of the expert, my disciples, go to the south of the Yangtze River, to the south of the Yangtze River where uprisings have continued during this time!

The eighth elder brother is facing the chessboard in the mansion, thinking hard, should the piece in the upper right corner be discarded or kept?After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't make up my mind. When I was about to make a random move, Brother Jiu became impatient: "Brother, didn't you promise to accompany me to see the place?"

The eighth elder brother dropped the chess pieces and said nonchalantly: "It's a hot day, wait until the sun goes down before going."

Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Aren't I impatient? Brother, at that time, Huang Ama's will came out in July, and now it's past the Mid-Autumn Festival, why hasn't the order come down? Could it be Huang Ama? Have you forgotten?"

The eighth elder brother raised his head: "There are a lot of things going on here, so Huang Ama can't help but take care of them. This is also common sense. It is just a routine thing to entrust the prince, how can Huang Ama be at ease?"

Brother Nine rested his cheeks and complained: "Really, Old Ten and I are the biggest ones in Brother's institute. It's boring to ask us to study with those baby dolls!"

When it came to this, Elder Brother Shi also felt the same way: "Yes, mynah, we are all looking forward to getting together soon, how inconvenient it is to be in the palace!"

The eighth elder brother smiled and said: "You Fujin haven't married yet, why panic? Who will take care of the house for you when you come out?"

Elder Brother Shi sipped his tea nonchalantly: "Who cares about it, what kind of bezoar and dog treasure can I have for people to remember?"

Brother Nine suddenly sat up straight, frowned and said: "Old Ten, I don't know what Huang Ama thinks, what do you mean by marrying you a Mongolian Fujin? There are not many beautiful ones on the grassland!"

The expression on Elder Brother Ten's face became even lighter: "Who cares what Huang Ama thinks? If you give me a few more beautiful ones in the future, it will be over?"

Before the eighth elder brother could speak, the ninth elder brother became anxious: "Can it be the same? You married Fujin, and she will be the one who invites Anzhi's family when you come out in the future. If something goes wrong, you will not be unlucky?"

The eighth elder brother hurriedly persuaded: "Where is it as scary as you said, it was all picked by Huang Ama. Naturally, I picked the good ones for my younger brother. Don't scare him."

Brother Ten leaned over and hugged Brother Eight into his arms: "I know Brother Eight is the best!"

It took a long time before he said: "I understand what Huang Ama means, brothers don't need to worry, I know it well."

The eighth elder brother felt cold, and patted the tenth elder brother on the back with his backhand. He felt so sorry for this younger brother. What's more, Yue Fei has been turned into a white body by Huang Ama, I'm afraid there is not much dowry, think about it, I am even more pitiful."

The two elder brothers laughed, and the ninth elder brother took the opportunity to mess up the chessboard, announcing loudly that the sun was about to set, and he was going to see his future mansion.

There are many mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many talented people. Apart from reciting poems, appreciating flowers and tasting wine, talented people also have to support their families. Although the imperial examinations are not necessarily beneficial to everyone, if the imperial examinations are unfair, everyone will be hurt. So the ballad "Old Ginger has no spicy taste, and Xiao Li has a lot of sweetness" began to spread word of mouth, and even how much money each person gave and when they gave it was passed on in a decent way.

The sweetness of the sweet-scented osmanthus has not yet dissipated, and the memorials of Lu Youshu, Li Pan, Jiang Chenying, etc., the censor of Jiangnan Road, dealt a heavy blow to Kangxi's chest.

"Examiners don't think about the suffering of poor scholars. They are greedy for profit. They tend to be in power. The children of high-ranking officials are the best. The descendants of the ministry and colleges do not fail the rankings. They don't ask whether the article is good or bad. They only ask how much money. The Manchu and Han families are full of joy. Door!"

The Crown Prince stood aside, feeling dark in front of his eyes. He didn't care about Kangxi's blue face, and tried his best to see if anyone had been forgotten, but none of them were there: University Scholars Wang Xi, Li Tianfu, Shangshu Xiong Yixiao, Zuo Du The censor Jiang Hongdao, the governor of Huguang, is young...

Aren't these people all optimistic about themselves?How did everyone know about it?The crown prince couldn't express all the doubts in his heart at this time, and could only stand silently.

The thirteenth elder brother is ready to listen to the government, so he hastened to stand up at this time: "Huang Ama, the royal family always only wants the best talents, and it is inevitable for those who fail to slander outside. It cannot be stopped. Huang Ama calm down."

The Crown Prince looked at Elder Thirteen: "Elder Thirteen has some truths in what he said, but the folks don't know what they want, so it is inevitable that slander abounds, and the official salt is sold as private salt. It's better to try it again, so that people will be convinced!"

Kangxi nodded and looked at the crown prince very satisfied: "Zhuanzhen's meaning: In another ten days, the exam will be re-examined, and the Jiuqing Kedao will be read in detail."

The fourth elder brother stood up and said, "Regardless of whether the slander is true or not, Huang Ama, my son thinks that we should investigate whether the examiner has accepted bribes. The examination is to select talents for the imperial court. How can these mediocre officials be used as tools for my kindness!"

All the ministers standing below were involved in this matter. I thanked the thirteenth elder brother very much before, and became more determined when the crown prince came out to speak. As a result, the fourth elder brother jumped out, and the hearts they put back jumped out again. Fourth elder brother Brother, what are you trying to do?

Isn't it just that everyone seeks a family background for their children and grandchildren?How did you turn into a kindness in your mouth, into a bully?This hat is really smashed, and the big guys don't have to live a good life anymore, I'm afraid they will have to queue up for execution!But in front of the emperor, no one dared to threaten his own son with vicious eyes!Everyone can only curse him in their hearts.

The third elder brother smiled and said: "The fourth child is a meticulous person, and he handles everything seamlessly. It's just that these two examiners are deceiving the king. Huang Ama can't let them go lightly!"

The eighth elder brother also nodded: "What the third brother said is, Huang Ama, the examiner is really hateful, it is heinous to live up to the grace of God!"

Emperor Kangxi was not the emperor on the first day. He was neither stupid nor deaf, nor was he a Weng.Of course, throwing a scapegoat out to give an explanation, how can the Han people in Jiangnan be satisfied?

So the re-examination papers of the Shuntian Examination Center were unsealed in front of Jiuqing, and the grades were copied and submitted. Those with the third grade and above were still ordered to take the examination, and those who were really not good in the fourth grade were ordered to be dismissed.

None of the children of the Manchu and Han ministers was deprived of fame, but the heinous original examiner Li Pan was sent to guard outside the customs, and Jiang Chenying died of illness in prison.

This kind of treatment, except for the students in Jiangnan, naturally everyone is satisfied. The whole court, the inside and outside of the Forbidden City are in harmony.

The crown prince lost his heart and gritted his teeth. The elder brother didn't get any benefits. For no reason, only the eighth elder brother smiled and said nothing, and he had the right way!
