Seeing the butler running in, Jia Min stood up abruptly and asked eagerly, "What's the result? Tell me!"

The butler said happily: "Master, Mrs. Hui, I won! The second master, the third master, and Uncle Yue, all won!"

Lin Cheng, Lin Zhun, and Jia Yue all passed the Gongshi examination. As long as they pass the palace examination, they can all become Jinshi!

Knowing that the two sons, as well as the disciple and son-in-law who entered the house, all passed the Gongshi examination, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min both smiled, and Jia Min asked again: "Among the people who are familiar with our family, is there anyone?"

The housekeeper said: "The second master of the Qin family has also been hit."

The second master of the Qin family, so to speak, is Qin Chuan's younger brother, Qin Yue, this year.

Jia Min smiled and said: "Reward! The whole family will add a month's monthly money!"

After passing the Gongshi examination, Jia Yue has no pressure at all. As long as there are no accidents, he can become a Jinshi. It doesn’t matter even if he ranks low. He is only 15 years old this year. for.

Jia Yue followed Lin Cheng and Lin Zhun to see the same year, the teacher, and some great scholars. In a blink of an eye, it was March [-]th.

March [-]th is the time for the palace examination!

The imperial examination refers to the emperor's personal examination. The content is very simple. It only tests the current affairs policy. The palace examination is limited to one day, and the paper must be handed in before sunset.

Jia Yue sat in the Wenhua Palace, answering the paper under the watchful eyes of Emperor Taishang and Emperor Chengrui. If she said she was not nervous, she would be lying!

However, although Jia Yue has never met the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, she has met many court officials and clan princes over the years. Although Jia Yue was nervous, she did not lose her composure.

Compared with the township examination and general examination, the palace examination is relatively simple. Jia Yue first typed a draft, then polished the article, and checked it carefully. Whether there are any taboo words or sentences passed the palace examination. If she is dismissed, then Jia Yue will be more wronged than Dou E.

After confirming that it was correct, Jia Yue copied the article on the paper and checked it again.

Jia Yue made the essay very quickly. After he finished the questions, the candidates around him were still writing. Jia Yue secretly raised his head and glanced at the Supreme Emperor, only to find that the Supreme Emperor was staring at him. Jia Yue was startled With a jump, he quickly lowered his head.

There was a smile on the corner of the Taishang Emperor's mouth, and he said in his heart: "He looks good enough. He passed the Jinshi exam at a young age, so he is considered young and promising. It's just... why did this kid get my aunt's favor and want him to be her son?" Woolen cloth?"

After half a day, when it was time to hand in the papers, Jia Yue handed in the papers and went back to Lin Mansion with Lin Cheng and Lin Zhun.

After the palace examination, the papers are read the next day, and the list is released the next day.

The rankings of the palace examination came out. Jia Yue, Lin Cheng, and Lin Zhun all successfully became Jinshi. No.

Jia Yue was appointed by the Supreme Emperor as Tanhualang.

After the list was released, it was learned that Jia Yue had won Tanhua. Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, Daiyu and others were all happy for Jia Yue. The 15-year-old Tanhualang is really "young and promising".

Knowing that she had won Tanhua, Jia Yue was naturally happy, but she didn't get carried away, and she underestimated scholars all over the world.

Jia Yue understood that she was not the most educated person among the Jinshi this year. Although she passed the Gongshi exam, it was a coincidence—the exam questions happened to be done before, and her ranking in the general examination was not among the best.

Jia Yue felt that the reason why she became Tanhua was because of Princess Changle.

Last year, Jia Yue had a conversation with Princess Changle.

That day, Jia Yue was practicing martial arts with Daiyu, when she heard that the eldest princess of Changle had summoned her, Jia Yue didn't know what it was, but she still went to the main courtyard of the princess mansion.

At that time, there were only Princess Changle and Jia Yue in the room, not even a girl. Jia Yue was puzzled, and while saluting, she asked, "Why is the princess summoned?"

The eldest princess of Changle didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I want to recognize you as a godson, are you willing?"

Jia Yue was dumbfounded, and asked, "Your Highness...what does this mean?"

The eldest princess of Changle said: "Yu'er is my closed disciple. I have high hopes for Yu'er. In order to save Yu'er from detours, I want to seek a title for Yu'er. You are Yu'er's fiancé. Godson, I am sure to ask you for a duke title, and Yu'er will become the duke's wife."

Duke, second only to the prince and county king, is a super-rank title, which is a height that ordinary people can hardly achieve in a lifetime.

Jia Yue admitted that she was moved, but forced herself to remain calm, and asked Princess Changle, "Your Highness, I always thought that you wanted to pass on the title of princess to Sister Lin."

Princess Changle shook her head and said: "Yu'er has both parents, if she wins the position of princess, wouldn't she have her biological parents salute her?"

Jia Yue added: "With your ability, it is still possible to find the position of Princess Lin for Sister Lin."

The eldest princess of Changle gave a wry smile and said, "Of course I can get the position of the princess for Yu'er, but it's not as useful as the Duke and Madam."

Jia Yue was puzzled and said: "The Duke's wife is an imperial lady, and in terms of status, she is subordinate to her husband. The princess and princess are not imperial ladies, and her status is higher than that of her husband."

The eldest princess of Changle said: "Although the princess and princess are only one level behind, it is the difference between heaven and earth. Without a husband, or if the husband does not live up to expectations, you can live a very nourishing life.” For example, the eldest princess of Changle, a divorced single woman, is a figure that no important court officials or clan princes dare to underestimate.

The eldest princess of Changle continued: "As for the princess, although she is noble, she is different from the princess. If the county horse does not live up to expectations, the princess will also follow suit. This is still the princess of the royal family. Yu'er is not from the royal family. If she wins the county The position of the master, the name is not correct, the words are not right, it is just tasteless."

"In the early years of this dynasty, it was normal for a woman to have a title and rank higher than her husband. If a woman had the ability, she could achieve a career even without relying on her husband. It is stipulated that women should follow their husbands in rank. Except for the eldest daughter, the rank of wives should not be higher than that of their husbands. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that nowadays, no matter how talented a woman is, she still has to rely on her husband to realize her ambitions , the wife is as expensive as the husband, alas..."

The eldest princess of Changle sighed, and said again: "If your rank is too low, what can Yu'er do even if she becomes the princess, it's better to find a position for you as a duke, and let Yu'er become the duke's wife .”

The eldest princess of Changle spoke very bluntly, telling Jia Yue the real purpose directly, without saying anything like "I have a destiny with you".

After hearing this, Jia Yue was silent for a long time, and suddenly opened her mouth to ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will be ungrateful and treat Yu'er badly after I get the Duke title?"

Princess Changle smiled, and said: "I'm still very accurate in judging people. I can tell that you are not that kind of person. Besides, Yu'er is not a dough that can be kneaded by others."

Jia Yue thought for a while, then said solemnly: "Your Highness, I am willing, and I will not let you down."

This is the content of the conversation between Jia Yue and the eldest princess of Changle.

Therefore, even though Jia Yue was selected by the Supreme Emperor as Tanhua Lang, she did not get carried away. Jia Yue felt that the Supreme Emperor rewarded him because of the face of Princess Changle.

Facts have proved that Jia Yue didn't think too much this time.

Long before the palace examination, Princess Changle told the Supreme Emperor that she wanted to recognize Jia Yue as her godson.

After the Supreme Emperor got old, he took great care of his relatives. The Supreme Emperor felt sorry for Princess Changle, the aunt who was lonely and widowed all her life, and took great care of Princess Changle.

Therefore, after the Supreme Emperor learned that Jia Yue had the favor of Princess Changle and wanted to recognize him as his son, he appointed Jia Yue to be Tanhualang, and planned to make Jia Yue the Duke of the state.

In the princess system of this dynasty, the husband of the princess is named the prince's son-in-law.

The eldest son of the princess is granted the title of earl, the eldest son of the eldest princess is granted the title of marquis, and the eldest son of the eldest princess is granted the title of duke.

However, the title obtained by the son of the princess belongs to the "shadow seal" and cannot be hereditary.

Although Emperor Xingzu treated relatives and meritorious officials preferentially, he did not lose his mind. One of the great achievements of Emperor Xingzu was to abolish the "hereditary non-replacement" method of title inheritance.

Emperor Xingzu issued an iron order that all titles in the world will be inherited by descendants. If the descendants of future generations violate this order, they will not be allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum!

Even the four kings and eight princes who made great contributions to the founding of this dynasty, Emperor Xingzu did not confer the title of "hereditary non-replacement". After the death of Gong Jiayuan, the eldest son Jia Daishanxiang and others inherited the title of earl, and later he was promoted to the title of Rong Guogong because of his achievements in sweeping Mobei.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Although Emperor Xingzu did not grant the title of "hereditary replacement" to the "Four Kings" who contributed the most Emperor Xingzu protected the wealth of the "Four Kings" for three generations, and the descendants of the "Four Kings" began to descend from the fourth generation to inherit the title.

Also, King Shui Rong of Beijing County was the great-grandson of the first King of Beijing County. Inherited a generation of princes.

For Lin Ruhai, Chengrui's nine years has been a harvest year.

Jia Yue is Lin Ruhai's only apprentice, a 15-year-old Tanhualang. Lin Ruhai is a Tanhua with a previous conviction.

Also, Lin Ruhai's eldest son Lin Qian, Jinshi, Chengrui first year high school, second son Lin Cheng, Jinshi, Chengrui nine-year high school, third son Lin Zhun, Jinshi, Chengrui nine-year high school.

In the ninth year of Chengrui's Jinshi, Lin Ruhai's son and disciples accounted for three places.

In addition, Lin Ruhai's three sons and one apprentice are all from junior high school, Lin Qian high school, Lin Cheng's 23-year-old high school, Lin Zhun's 21-year-old high school, and Jia Yue's 15-year-old high school.

Because he taught four "young Jinshi", Lin Ruhai's reputation was greatly shaken, and he was like a "famous teacher of a generation". All the high-ranking officials in Shenjing want their children to worship under Lin Ruhai.

Of course, there are more people who are jealous of Lin Ruhai's power.

In April of the ninth year of Chengrui, a certain censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote a letter to impeach Lin Ruhai, saying that Jia Yue, Lin Cheng, Lin Zhun and others were able to go to high school because of fraud in the examination room.

All of a sudden, the impeachment of Lin Ruhai floated into the palace like snowflakes.

Lin Ruhai didn't make any excuses, but just wrote to resign.
