The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

I don't know if it's because of Lin Daiyu's loving supper every night. Lin Lin drank three bowls of rare black rice porridge the night before under Lin Lu's gloomy gaze, and performed quite outstandingly on the day of the palace examination.

The martial arts palace examination in the Qing Dynasty was divided into three parts. The first and second rounds tried the bow and horse skills, which was called "outer field";

Leaving aside the third round, except for a small flaw - the tenth arrow missed the target when shooting - Lin Lin's performance in the first two rounds was perfect.

Especially when the two sides are facing each other, no one can go through [-] moves under his hands, and they can be put on the ground with three or two moves of ordinary level.

Hailancha was on duty with the emperor that day, wiping his sweat while watching. He personally felt that Lin Lin's state today was very wrong. With this skill, if it wasn't for the fear of not being able to hurt people, once the firepower was fully fired, the victim would be killed instantly. When it arrives, it will be disabled.

This is also a major feature of Lin Lin's skills. What he pursues is the most efficient lethality. He completely abandons the strange transformations and delicate moves of moves, and he opens and closes straight forward and kills.

So he doesn't look fancy on the court, every move is extremely short, quick and fierce, completely without the dazzling posture of others, and he already has a back-to-basics, clever and clumsy start.

Such a person still has some reservations in the competition, and once put on the battlefield, the advantages can be fully revealed. The typical one is a humanoid killer.

Hai Lancha sighed, so he was quite unwilling to compete with Lin Lin in the past three years. Although she restrained herself a bit, she couldn't wait until the fight went smoothly, and she completely habitually killed her, so he cried There is nowhere to cry.

Lin Lin made great strides all the way, with such momentum that she overshadowed all the other students in the room.Qianlong was elated and ecstatic, slapped his hands loudly, and couldn't help applauding.The noise was so loud that the courtiers sitting around couldn't help but look at him frequently.

Liu Tongxun couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor is thirsty for talent and loves talents like his life. This is really the blessing of the Qing Dynasty and the common people." You should also pay attention, this is just the second round of the essay test, and the third essay test is yet to come. You haven't started yet, and the final ranking has not yet been determined. You just put on such a posture, isn't it discouraging other candidates?

Fu Heng followed up and said: "The talents of today's martial arts are indeed outstanding, and their martial arts are high-strength, which is even better than the previous ones." It's the eighth classics of the martial arts palace test. You make such a loud noise like watching a monkey show. What do you look like.

"The image of the prosperous age, the atmosphere of the prosperous age!" Qianlong laughed.He doesn't care what other people think, you know what a fart, that's my son my son, keep clapping and clapping.

Ever since Qianlong was picked on by Jia Yucun, he has been in a gloomy state, surrounded by negative emotions such as guilt and grief. After so many days, he has no embarrassment to go to Lin's mansion again. Returning to the state of mind of the silly father, the boredom that had been pent up for a long time was swept away, and I felt full of joy.

He has known for a long time that Lin Lin is a martial arts genius with a clear bone, but his son is promising, the feeling of seeing it behind closed doors is completely different from the feeling of showing it to the world. Regardless of the explicit hints, he unabashedly showed everyone present that the candidate for the champion of martial arts in his mind had already been decided by default.

The emperor was so happy, it was extremely abnormal, and none of the people present were blind or foolish, so naturally he had to think about why.Fu Heng stared at the field for a few more times, vaguely feeling that the young man above looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Not only Fu Heng was thinking, but Wang Ziteng was also thinking. He also couldn't understand why the emperor was so excited. He was the son of Lin Ruhai, and his surname was not Aixinjueluo.

But since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Qianlong has always had a weird way of seeing people, so maybe he just likes Lin Lin.This is already an established fact, and it is useless to think too much. It is better to consider how to build a good relationship between the two parties.

Wang Ziteng was already a big official of one side three years ago, and now he has been promoted to inspectors in nine provinces. Even Jia Yucun, the chief minister of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War are even inferior in his official position. shaken.

He was originally sitting on the Diaoyutai with confidence, but seeing Qianlong's bloody performance, Wang Ziteng inevitably had to weigh it carefully and act carefully.

After the outfield test, it's the infield's turn. This is a matter of writing. One question for the test strategy and one question for the test are all from the "Seven Books of Martial Arts".

Qianlong was never worried about Lin Lin's outfield, but he was a little worried about whether he could pass the test in the infield. Anyway, we have known each other for three years, and the emperor has never seen him read a book. He only copied "The Analects" from time to time. There are also some typos to embellish it.

It's not that Qianlong didn't think about revealing the question ahead of time, but when he mentioned something that day, Lin Lin's face turned dark and she didn't answer the question, knowing that he was not happy, and she didn't say anything about it afterwards.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, there were originally two strategies and one theory in the field. The theory was derived from the theory of Confucius and Mencius, but it was changed to be simple in the Qianlong generation, and only the questions were drawn from the book of war.

If it had been during the Kangxi period, Lin Lin would have suffered a lot. His talent in literature was no less than Lin Lu's, but it would not be a problem if he had to test the art of war.

Lin Lin's previous life was not peaceful. From the royal family to the common people, the dead in battle are like eating and sleeping, which is beyond normal.He has fought thousands of battles, large and small, in his life, and spent most of his life on the South and North Wars. In terms of actual combat experience, he can completely defeat theorists who have never seen blood in the peaceful world.

This is also the reason why Lin Lin has always felt that this world is boring and boring. The pace of life is too slow. Killing a piece of trash on the street can still make others fuss. Big things are worth talking about.

The exam time is two hours. After handing in the papers, you can go to the side hall to have lunch and wait for the results. During this time, the emperor has been watching from the dragon chair.

Sitting on it was also boring for Qianlong, and he came down from time to time to exercise his muscles and bones. Every time he walked, he had to pass by the table next to Lin Lin, and cast an ambiguous look at him. kick.

You check it several times and you check it several times. If there is a typo, it will be brushed down.The emperor kept winking at his son, causing the corners of his eyes to cramp, but he couldn't save Lin Lin's gloomy expression after being kicked.

Unable to achieve the desired effect, Qianlong clutched his chest pierced by thousands of arrows and sat back on the dragon chair. He felt very sad that his son's rebellious period had come, and he started to disobey discipline.

However, this son has always been relatively rebellious, and his impact on the emperor was limited. He sat down for a while, twisted his buttocks and ran down.

In the end, Hai Lancha couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing the expressions of several old officials were very surprised, and worried about the incident, he had the courage to remind him: "Long live God values ​​loyal ministers and orphans so much, Master Lin should also smile under Jiuquan. .”

He didn't dare to say this directly to the emperor, he turned his head and looked at Fu Long'an who was on duty and muttered in a low voice, Qianlong just happened to hear it when he came back from a stroll.

Earlier, Liu Tongxun tried desperately to persuade you to calm down and stop jumping. Fu Heng also tried desperately to persuade you to sit still. What is the mess? A few old ministers beat around the bush and said it one by one, but Qianlong was still jumping around. It was a joy to jump up, but the good times didn't last long, Hai Lancha's words knocked him down, and he shrank on the dragon chair like a pickled cucumber and didn't speak.

Finally being honest, Hai Lancha's heart trembled.He didn't want to say that, Qianlong was flying lightly in the sky, and he would be unhappy if he pulled it off with a stick; There are too many flaws in myself, which makes people see something strange, but they will suspect that Hailancha's mouth is not firm.

Qianlong put on a thoughtful face and sat on the dragon chair, his long face was faintly flickering with Buddha's light, and his heart began to feel aggrieved again, but no, no matter how promising he is, he is also his son.

After two hours of hard work, it was time to approve the papers.

It was the military officers who scored the candidates in the first or second rounds, but now the third civil examination is where the civil officials make up their minds. As usual, the top ten papers should be selected for the emperor's review, and he will decide the ranking himself.

Liu Tongxun was the head of civil servants, and he submitted the ten exam papers selected by him. The exam papers were selected after discussion among several examiners, and there was no issue of favoritism. , deliberately put Lin Lin's test paper at the end.

Qianlong didn't look at the first few copies very carefully. He looked at the name first, and when he saw that it wasn't Lin Lin's, he opened his mouth and said something bad. This word is really ugly, and that word is really mean.

After finally turning to the last one, my eyes lit up when I saw the words, and then looked at the name. Although I was a little surprised, I was even happier. Qianlong first praised: "The pen is vigorous, vigorous, good calligraphy, good calligraphy!"

This is also the truth, Lin Lin's wrist strength is outstanding, and the flying dragon and phoenix are like a fast sword and a halberd, vigorous and vigorous, from top to bottom, from right to left, or coiling like a spirit snake, or standing like a beast, with outstanding strength of character.

It is completely different from the perfunctory homework done three years ago. It can be seen how carelessly the copy of "The Analects" was copied. Qianlong, who was heartbroken by his son's tricks and not studying seriously, put a picture of bitter gourd on the back of the test paper. Face.

In fact, compared with this kind of font with a free and easy style and obvious personal characteristics, the world is more inclined to the square, clean, elegant and solemn pavilion style and scriptures. Seven out of ten test papers selected by several examiners use the same font written.

Qianlong saw that the first examination paper was not in the pavilion style, and it was soft and lacking in style, so he simply said it was not good after a glance. Zhang, sneered a lot, and it became "good words, good words" when it came to Lin Lin.

Hai Lancha, who was standing behind him, began to sweat again. Can you stop being so righteous if you are so biased?

After the words were praised, Qianlong looked at the content of the strategy theory again, and he was also amazed. He sincerely praised: "Unique insights, cunning and transparent, mature and prudent, are really the talents of a good general."

This makes it impossible to discuss with Liu Tongxun. He is a civil servant, so he doesn't care about it.Wang Ziteng stood at the front of all the military officers, came out and clasped his hands and said: "Return to the emperor, I look at the views of this life, I am indeed old and vicious, and I am well versed in the way of righteousness."

As for the talent of a good general, he didn't mention it at all. Although Lin Lin did write well, Qianlong boasted too much. Anyway, there is only an [-]-word test paper, and there are [-] words in the original text. What happened, you have to go to the battlefield to try out the real chapter.

After Qianlong finished the examination papers, it was time to discuss the ranking. The emperor arranged the examination papers in order and Wu Shulai handed them to Liu Tongxun.

Qianlong said indifferently: "The scores of the first two rounds should have come out. I would like to trouble you to summarize the scores. After all, martial arts still value martial arts. The third round, Cheng Wen, is just for reference."

When Liu Tongxun checked, Lin Lin was the first one. Well, there is nothing to say. The first and second rounds were for your performance, and the examiners below did not dare to give you a low score. The third round is also the first place for reference. Isn't the candidate for the champion of martial arts decided?

Liu Tongxun had nothing to say, and passed a stack of examination papers to the back, and several ministers saw the first person's name clearly with a glance, and they knew what Qianlong meant.

After passing it around, Fu Heng sorted out the examination papers himself, and handed them back to Wu Shulai. Seeing that Liu Tongxun avoided suspicion and refused to speak, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to the first two rankings, Lin Lin and Lin Ziyu from Jinling, Jiangsu, are at the top of the list. .”

Although Qianlong was simply eccentric, Fu Heng didn't have much in mind. Everyone saw the performances of hundreds of juren during the martial arts. Lin Lin was indeed outstanding, and not just ordinary outstanding. It is completely acceptable to be a champion. , he was a little surprised by Qianlong's overly excited behavior.

Jia Yucun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Ziyu's background is unknown and his origin is not right. If such a person is chosen to become the champion of martial arts, how can I save my face?"

Qianlong's face changed instantly, he stared at him with killing intent in his heart.Jia Yucun is not killed now, but it is because it takes a lot of effort to select and cultivate Jia Yucun's current power, not because the emperor lacks such talents, and there are dogs that can bark everywhere.

Jia Yucun also knew that this job was against the emperor, but he had no choice. Before he went to the court this morning, he received a dossier, which completely and truly recorded that he was the gourd monk at the time when he was the prefect of Jinling. Random sentencing of the gourd case.

Although there is no signature on the letter, and the concierge has never seen who the servant who came to deliver the letter is, but now that the Martial Arts Examination is about to come, the people who knew what happened back then are only involved in a few families, and the calabash monk has already been found by him, so he is not exiled In addition to Jia Yucun himself, only Wang Ziteng, Jia Zhenglian, and the Xue family who are involved are clear in their hearts.

This is a blatant threat and coercion. Jia Yucun understands that if he talks back to the emperor now, it will only upset the emperor for a while. end.

Jia Yucun also hated the Jia family who dared to threaten him like this. Of course, he didn't know that Lin Lu ordered someone to secretly send this file over when she woke up. The latter is now waiting in the Lin Mansion. Watch the show.

Qianlong didn't say anything for a long time, Jia Yucun bit the bullet and continued: "Qin Xun in the Song Dynasty, because he was the grandson of the treacherous minister Qin Hui, originally planned to win the first prize in the palace examination, but Song Gaozong won the first prize and fell to Tanhua. This move is still praised today. ..."

Such things are not uncommon in the history of imperial examinations. Sun Yuegong was demoted to Tanhua by Ming Chengzu because his names were linked together as "violent", and the number one was given to Xing Kuan; He wanted to use the northerners, so he crossed out the name of Jiangsu No. [-] Scholar and changed it to Shanxi Huiyuan Wang Jie as No. [-] Scholar.

Jia Yucun's proposal was not biased, and it was true that Lin Lin's background was not right. Although Qianlong was pleasing to her eyes, the rules were there, and it was really unattractive to let a little illegitimate child be the champion.

What Jia Yucun proposed was a good idea, neither burying talents nor losing the face of the court, many examiners stood up and responded to his words.Not to mention others, although Liu Tongxun is not in the top spot, but he also feels that this is not bad, Tanhua is no worse than the number one scholar.

Qianlong closed his eyes, his hands on the table trembled a little, these idiots didn't understand his thoughts at all.

If Lin Lin's ability is mediocre, it seems that he can't be the champion in his face, and Qianlong will not pick and choose. Instead, he can use this to relieve the guilt in his heart and feel that he has made up for it. son.

But now that Lin Lin is the champion, the sure champion is about to be kidnapped because of her status as an illegitimate child. She passed the most basic childbirth test all the way, and she was first in the first five times. It is not a matter of winning three yuan in a row, it is the supreme glory of winning six yuan in a row in martial arts, it is the first, and it may be the last, a glorious achievement that will be famous through the ages, if it is because of him, who was a father for a while How could Qianlong feel at ease when the mistake was obliterated.

He is indeed an emperor, but he is also a father, a father who is eager to make up for the grievances suffered by his son since he was born.

"Hongwu in the previous dynasty could produce a Huang Guan, so why can't this dynasty produce a Lin Lin?" Having made up his mind, Qianlong gave Jia Yucun a cold look, "I not only want the three yuan world to have it, but also the six poems in the world." .Jia Qing will be included for the time being.”

Well, even the previous dynasty has been pulled out, who has the guts to say anything?The people below were silent, and Qianlong had no intention of entanglement. He raised his hand to look at the ranking below, and clicked on Ma Quan of Daxing Temple in Shuntianfu as the second place, and Li Weiguang in Tanzhou, Hunan Province as Tanhua.

However, before Zhubi can officially fill in the selection, it is still necessary to meet with the top three, and the dragon frame goes to Ziguang Pavilion for review.

Qianlong smiled and called the three of them out, looked from the back of Lin Lin's drooping head for a while, and then turned to Ma Quan, who looked familiar, and said with a frown, "You are No. 3 Tanhua horse steamer?"

Ma Quanben was a 17-year-old student. Later, he fought with his colleagues and was dismissed by his boss. He returned to the white body and lived in the capital.

Ma Quan didn't expect that the emperor could recognize him at a glance, kowtowed on the ground to apologize, and Fu Heng, who was involved, also stood up and explained the whole story.

Qianlong cherished his talent and waved his hand not to pursue it.In fact, the emperor was also very happy in his heart. This kind of incident interrupted him, so that he could divert the attention of his ministers from Lin Lin.

You've seen it all, I love talent, I love it so much that I can tolerate someone committing a crime and re-examing, not to mention that Lin Ziyu is just from a bad background, I love it too.

The author has something to say: ①Huang Guan (1364-1402), courtesy name Lanbo and Shangbin, was born in Qingjiang, Guichi County, Anhui Province.In the 24th year of Hongwu (1391), the theory of the palace examination advocated that "garrison the fortress, plow and defend, and reject it when it comes, and prevent it when it goes away, so that China can disturb the Yuan Dynasty and the border Yuanyu", taking No. 1 of the palace examination. So far, the six examinations (county examination, prefectural examination, college examination, township examination, general examination, palace examination) have all won No.1. At that time, it was said that "there are three yuan in the world, but there are no six poems in the world."

Qianlong's words were born out of the poems that people praised Huang Guan~
